Chapter 194 That Generation

After marveling at Su Yun's myth of becoming rich overnight, Zhao Qiming seemed a little touched: "So I say, it's much easier to do business than to do film and television."

Just like the "Rotary Turn" that was cut in half, once it can no longer fight, it will be regarded as a discarded pawn by the people above, and all previous efforts will be wasted; but in the industrial sector, especially the real estate industry, under the pre-purchase system, part of the investment will be recovered before the land is even acquired to build the building.

Once the building is completed, money and resources will come in continuously.

Moreover, in the current real estate environment, as long as you can obtain the development rights and build a building, you will not have to worry about not being able to sell it. Zhao Liming had done his homework before he wanted to start a business in Shenzhen. Before him, a Hong Kong businessman had already agreed on a cooperation with Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Real Estate Company, the first and currently the only real estate company in Shenzhen. Through the business model of imitating the manufacturing industry's "processing on supplied materials" with the Shenzhen market providing the land and the Hong Kong side providing the money, this was the first attempt by Shenzhen in the construction of commercial housing after the reform and opening up.

This commercial housing community, which has revitalized Shenzhen's land and carries a heavy historical imprint, is called "Donghu Liyuan".

But compared to other Hong Kong businessmen who wanted to hype up the Shenzhen real estate market like they did in Hong Kong and then make a fortune by riding on the blood and flesh of the masses, Zhao Liming wanted to take a thorny road that would not make much money but would ensure that the masses had a place to live and would not be crushed by the crazy real estate industry.

If he wanted to do this a few years later, Su Yun would not agree with him taking the risk to challenge the capitalists who have already taken root in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Fortunately, in this era, the people in charge of the real estate industry in Shenzhen have not changed their original intentions, and still hold the original intention of investing with the conscience of both "capital" and "society".

The capital accumulation brought by the real estate industry can certainly greatly promote the original capital needed for the construction of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but on the basis of development, "people-oriented" is also an issue that needs special attention.

"Will they agree to this proposal, which will obviously slow down the speed of capital accumulation?" Although Zhao Qiming himself is an idealist, he has also witnessed the decline of morality and the change of people's hearts in Hong Kong. He is also aware of the fact that many people have forgotten their original intentions under the drive of capital interests.

"If it was anyone else, I wouldn't feel reassured, but you..." Su Yun looked at him seriously, "You are a special talent who has seen the home ownership model in Singapore. You have international knowledge and insights into the development of the real estate industry. You are also from the Zhao family in Hong Kong. Unless they are really blinded by the problem of rapid capital accumulation, there is absolutely no reason to reject your joining."

"As far as I know, Mr. Luo, the general manager of Shenzhen Special Zone Real Estate Company, in order to solve the problem of renting out land, which seems very common to us but is still considered "treasonous" there, he read through the original works of Marx and Lenin, and finally found a quote from Lenin quoting Engels: "The abolition of private ownership of land does not require the abolition of rent, but requires the transfer of rent to society" - in order to ensure that the only original capital of Shenzhen Stock Exchange The accumulation method can be successfully implemented. It is said that all real estate officials in Shenzhen have memorized this sentence by heart. Once someone questions how land can be rented to capitalists, they will immediately throw out this sentence to shut up the questioner. "Speaking of this, Su Yun sighed: In the early days of reform and opening up, the country did not have much money, so it could only allocate some initial funds and try to give some policy preferences, and let the places designated as special zones work hard on their own.

For example, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, which later became world-famous for its "Shenzhen Speed", only had 30 million yuan in funding at the time. This seemingly large number is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to building a special economic zone.

After much difficulty in coming up with the idea of ​​using land leasing to accumulate original construction capital, it unexpectedly attracted a lot of doubts and resistance from old and stubborn people with rigid ideas.

Thanks to the flexible thinking of these pioneer builders at that time, they used reason to defeat doubts and magic to defeat magic, which ensured that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, which later became famous as a special economic zone, did not collapse halfway through its establishment.

Su Yun was still sighing about the difficulties faced by this generation, but Zhao Liming was stunned by her words. He calmed down and asked cautiously, "Are the requirements for investing in the mainland so high now? To run a business, do you have to read the original works of Marx and Lenin, and do the corresponding reference literature and theoretical work to deal with questions?"

"That's not the case..." Su Yun was also confused by Zhao Liming's logic for a moment, but then she changed her mind and understood the reason for Zhao Liming's worry: that conservative and turbulent era had just passed, and the areas that were separated always had attachment to their hometown but also had some worries.

"Let's put it this way. Because consciousness and vision have not yet completely changed to adapt to the world, when faced with conservative dogmas and traditional norms, those who want to be the first to try something new must flexibly and reasonably 'break the rules.'" This is also the reason why the pioneer builders of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange would, under such circumstances, pick out sentences from books and use dogmatism to fight dogmatism.

"I think I understand what you mean." Zhao Liming thought about it for a while, and then nodded in realization, "In fact, have you ever thought that you can make more money and be less likely to get into trouble if you do business in industry and venture capital than in the film and television industry?"

"It depends on what kind of work this person is suitable for. Although the return rate and payback time of the film and television industry are lower than those of many industries, the ideological content that a producer can bring to the audience far exceeds that of other industries." Su Yun smiled, "Just like you would rather give up your family business to pursue your ideal, my goal from the beginning to the end is to be in the film and television industry."

“I hope these stories that flow through light and shadow can give viewers some mental liberation and enlightenment.”

"In that case, shouldn't you be more inclined towards art films?" Zhao Liming was a little puzzled.

"There are already too many masters who have indulged in art films. In front of these masters who will surely leave their mark in the long river of history, I am just a newborn grass." Su Yun explained, "Therefore, what I want to do is something that is more simple and easy to understand."

"I can't be as romantic, magnificent, grand and majestic as Li Bai and Du Fu, so I just want to be like Bai Juyi, whose poems can be understood by even illiterate old ladies."

"For example, there are so many Hollywood blockbusters, how many of them have profound meanings?"

"It still sells very well and makes a lot of money."

“Even if one pursues art a little, due to the limitations of subject matter, length and audience, one can only describe some superficial topics such as good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished, and people must keep their original intentions unchanged to find peace - but these are also the easiest things for a person to understand and perhaps the most difficult to do.”

"Your remarks are a bit like my dad." Zhao Liming looked at Su Yun with a sigh.

I remember that my biological father Zhao Rifu also preferred commercial films. Besides making money from commercial films, he also wanted to have fun with the whole family.

There is no need to think and explore over and over again to come to some seemingly plausible conclusions. It is enough to just finish reading it happily and feel happy and that the world is beautiful.

It would be even better if I could make money from it and teach kids some lessons at the same time.

"That's perfect. You support the construction of the motherland for me, and I will develop the family business for you." Su Yun was not polite at all, and acted as if both of them were in the most suitable positions.

Zhao Liming also smiled, but secretly sighed that it was a pity.

No matter how powerful and capable Su Yun is, the highest position he can hold is only half real power.

As the name suggests, Zhao Shi Gu is the Zhao family's business. Unless his father Zhao Rifu can figure it out and pass on ideals rather than bloodline, Zhao Shi Gu will never be a stage for Su Yun to truly develop his strengths without any scruples.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have another guest to meet." Su Yun called Zhao Qiming, and when she found that he subconsciously wanted to leave and avoid her, she quickly called him back, "You stay. This guest is from the mainland film and television industry. Maybe you should get to know him."

After hearing this, Zhao Liming sat back on the sofa.

At this time, Su Yun, an emerging capital tycoon who was busy doing business in the United States, had no idea that in Hong Kong, half a world away, there was an uproar because of her sudden wealth.

The official publications under Zhao have always been "Southern Film and Television" for Zhao's film character series and "Hong Kong Television" for TBB character series. The cover of each issue mostly uses the corresponding artist as the cover character.

Officially speaking, the two publications that can publish Su Yun's full-color, high-definition frontal photos are these two.

Because Su Yun's whereabouts have been difficult to track down recently, even many newspapers and magazines sent people to the United States but were unable to find her, so no one was able to get Su Yun's latest photos.

Finally, in order to take advantage of the popularity of getting rich overnight, each company worked hard to search through their inventory. If they could find any photos in stock, that would be great. If they couldn’t, they would just point their camera at Su Yun’s movie videotapes and take a few “cover photos”…

Although the photos were not clear enough, they could still be sold if they joined forces with writers to add gimmicks - newspapers and magazines had this in mind and put their energy and wit into writing. For a while, all kinds of imaginary stories emerged one after another.

As a result, after working overtime to print them and sending them to various sales outlets, they suffered a sales setback.

On the contrary, the special issue of "Southern Film and Television" with a full-color half-length frontal photo of Su Yun as the cover has been reprinted three times in the past few days, but it was still sold out.

This is unscientific!

Since the decline of Zhao's female stars, the sales of "Southern Film and Television" have not been able to recover much even with the use of its male stars. Many people are secretly waiting for it to disappear into the memory of history along with the gradually declining Zhao's films!

How come such an amazing number of copies were sold with just one cover? !

"Boss, when will the latest reprint of Southern Films arrive? I'm in a hurry to go betting on horses!"

"Yes, I am also going to the stock exchange to make my fortune!"

"What are you trying to grab? Sister, I have an appointment with someone to play mahjong all night tonight. Wouldn't it be dangerous for me to be without a 'wealthy woman' by my side?"

In order to find out the truth behind their defeat, the confused and angry writers went to bookstores and newsstands in every street and alley, and finally found the key to the problem.

The end of the year is the time when Hong Kong people are the richest and the poorest. Companies give out year-end bonuses, double or triple salaries, and collect debts at the end of the year, which instantly fills up their pockets - so money starts to become a little hot.

Apart from the money used to prepare New Year's goods, the rest is used for eating, drinking, entertainment and gambling.

Although the real reason for Su Yun's overnight wealth was her foresight in early exploration, and then after a certain period of risk investment, the stock price of the company she invested in went public soared, resulting in a return on investment and huge profits, for most Hong Kong people with a low level of knowledge - isn't this just a billionaire's fortune made by stock speculation? !

My goodness, the reason why Grandma Su made her fortune was because of her good luck in stocks. In just over a month, she soared from a worthless woman to a millionaire. Now Su Yun has surpassed her and turned her tens of millions of dollars into hundreds of millions in just one day!

As expected, it is Su "Yun"! This name is really not changed wrong!

It turns out that the "yun" in this rhythm is just a deception, and it should really be interpreted as the "yun" of luck and the "yun" of fortune!

Perhaps it was because there were always some survivor biases when the sample size was large. At that time, other newspapers and magazines had not yet obtained Su Yun's latest photos and therefore were unable to publish special issues in a timely manner. However, "Southern Film and Television" relied on Su Yun's previous work photos to publish a special issue in the first place and seize the market. Therefore, Hong Kong people who heard the news bought "Southern Film and Television" with Su Yun's photos on the road.

After carrying this thin magazine and going around to do their own things, some people got lucky or their predictions were correct, so some won at horse racing, some won money at mahjong, some won at football, some won the triple T, some made money from buying stocks...then they began to think that there was a "problem" with this book.

Although the cover is about a new stock god who got rich overnight, it seems to work for people like me as well?

Hong Kong people have always been quite superstitious. Over time, gamblers began to think that photos of Su Yun, who became rich overnight, really brought good fortune. Every time they went out, they would bring a paper cutout of the cover of "Southern Film and Television" - there was no other way, as Su Yun had been developing her career overseas and had not returned yet. The only photo that could be called a full-color, high-definition photo was this magazine cover.

Compared with the gamblers and gambling girls wearing paper cutouts of the cover, those who trade stocks are even more "devout".

No one knows whether this rumor came from somewhere or is true, but I heard that a certain enthusiastic stock investor placed Su Yun's photo on the altar at home and burned three incense sticks every morning and evening as an offering. Then, the stock he bought really soared like a pig in water... The practical and magical Hong Kong people began to follow suit.

In Hong Kong, the altars are either decorated with black-and-white photos of deceased relatives or with various small statues of gods such as Guanyin and the God of Wealth. It is also the end of the year and it is time to change the altar layout...

Therefore, in the memories of the 1980s generation, the things placed on the altar became divided into three categories:

On the left is the upright God of Wealth, on the right is the horizontal God of Wealth, and in the middle is Su Yun (photo).

The adults call it: The God of Wealth and the Goddess of Wealth have arrived together, and next year will definitely be luckier!
