Chapter 491 Mr. Huo
"Fool?"
Shi Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and raised his chin towards Pei Wencong: "Listen carefully."
At this time, Pei Wencong was talking to several people from the film company, and Afang was talking excitedly.
"Mr. Pei, our friends in the mainland told me about the amount of investment you made in the mainland, which really shocked us.
If we were to make the movie "Homelander", we wouldn't have to pay those country bumpkins so much money. When we were filming "Shaolin Temple", all the actors and actresses together only made a few hundred yuan a day.
We have a professional funding budget mechanism and can make the most professional movies. We have overseas publicity and distribution channels, and they are begging us."
Shi Nansheng's face suddenly turned black.
The 1980s was the most glorious and arrogant time for Hong Kong film and television people. Even when dealing with their counterparts on the other side of the strait, they often treated them like fools, let alone the backward mainland?
But if a mainlander heard such words, wouldn’t he go crazy?
Shi Nansheng quietly turned his head to look at Li Ye, but found that Li Ye was very calm, without any sign of anger.
Of course Li Ye didn't need to be angry, because he knew what would happen to people like Afang.
A few years later, the people on the other side of the strait, who had been fooled for several times, no longer cared about them, and the market in Southeast Asia also shrank. People like Afang began to go north one after another to cooperate with the mainland to make films.
They indeed don't pay mainlanders as much as they do in film remuneration, but they give their own people more, and from the director on down, anyone who is a leader can make money, which makes the mainland investors so angry that they curse them as a group of parasites.
At the beginning, mainlanders didn’t understand the game and relied on a bunch of Hong Kong stars to bring in the box office. But later, when the whole cast was replaced with a local cast, they suddenly found that they could also make money, and a lot of it.
Who the hell is willing to hold their nose and ignore the stench?
Then the mainland immediately became "picky", looking for an excellent director and choosing the rest on their own, and Hong Kong Island inevitably declined.
. . . . . . . . .
Shi Nansheng chatted with Li Ye awkwardly for a few words, then tactfully retreated back to his own circle.
Twenty minutes after Pei Wencong appeared, his butler suddenly hurried over and whispered something to him.
Then Pei Wencong said something apologetically to several bigwigs from the film companies, and today's party ended hastily.
Several beautiful girls who had not had the chance to talk to Pei Wencong were extremely regretful. They only hated that they did not compete forcefully with the quick-eyed and quick-handed seniors just now. As a result, they could not even become familiar faces. It would be difficult for them to create some scandals now!
After everyone left, Pei Wencong quickly walked to Li Ye.
Li Ye laughed and said, "What's wrong, Old Pei? There are so many young girls lining up to get to know you, and you are so cruel to drive them all away?"
Pei Wencong did not laugh, but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, I just received a call. Mr. Tong has asked someone to come over to negotiate. Please see."
"Say peace? So soon?"
Li Ye was somewhat surprised. Pei Wencong had just formed a team of lawyers after Fu Guiru got angry this morning. They had probably just reached the stage of writing a lawyer's letter and hadn't even started a formal fight yet. Why did Fu Guiyin become so cowardly?
Pei Wencong said: "Mr. Li, in Hong Kong Island, no one is willing to fight this kind of lawsuit. It will bankrupt you and you won't get any benefit.
Ms. Fu was just staying at Mr. Tong's house as a guest. Mr. Tong would definitely not pay for her lawyer's fees. From what Mr. Tong said, she didn't want to pay for it herself either."
"Heh, if you don't want to pay, don't cause trouble!"
Li Ye said with disdain, and then asked: "What do you mean? Mr. Tong has a lot of face in Hong Kong Island?"
Because when Fu Guiru was angry, Mr. Tong was in cahoots with Ai Zhixin and Fu Guiyin, and they later called the police, so Li Ye hated him as well.
You old bitch, you are meddling in other people's business, and now you come out to talk about peace? What were you doing before?
Pei Wencong shook his head and said, "Mr. Tong doesn't have much face, so he asked Mr. Huo to come over. Mr. Huo and I have been to the Capital City Hall together, so this face cannot be rejected."
Li Ye was surprised and asked: "Mr. Huo? Mr. Tong is related to him?"
Pei Wencong said in a deep voice: "When Mr. Tong was young, he must have traveled by water. Mr. Huo was originally a floating family. The two families have some relationship."
Li Ye nodded slowly: "Then I have to give you this favor, but I can't just let it go."
If someone else had come to mediate today, Li Ye would definitely not agree. Unless Fu Guiyin is skinned alive, the hatred in my heart will never be relieved.
But it’s not easy to refuse Mr. Huo’s face.
Pei Wencong heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "They will be here soon. If you don't want to see them."
Pei Wencong was very afraid that Li Ye would get angry. He had seen Fu Guiru angry this morning, so this made him very embarrassed.
But Li Ye said, "It's fine to meet him. I'll just watch from the sidelines. Also, be careful not to bring up the topic of my mother."
Pei Wencong quickly said, "Of course, of course, it was that gossip who slandered me. It has nothing to do with Ms. Fu, nothing to do with it."
. . . . . . . .
Forty minutes later, a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley drove to the main residence of the Pei family.
Mr. Tong, Lord Beile, Ai Zhixin and Fu Guiyin got out of the Bentley, and a middle-aged man and a girl got out of the Rolls-Royce.
Li Ye suddenly began to wonder, is the other party here to negotiate peace or to form a marriage?
It’s not that Li Ye doesn’t want to think too much, but in an occasion like today’s peacemaking, why bring a girl of about eighteen years old here?
In addition, Li Ye also verified a legend he had heard in his previous life.
Mr. Huo goes out without bodyguards.
Let’s just say that!
When the law and order in Hong Kong Island was extremely chaotic in the 1980s and 1990s, gangsters from the mainland, such as Zhang Ziqiang and Yip Jihan, took advantage of the wealthy people, robbing, extorting and blackmailing them. Later, they directly kidnapped people from the homes of wealthy people with the surnames Li and Guo.
However, such a powerful and fierce bandit did not dare to touch the people and business of the Huo family, because these desperate criminals knew that Mr. Huo was a person who dared to go out without bodyguards even though he knew that the Strait Intelligence Department wanted to assassinate him.
You guys should think about the tricks here!
This is also one of the reasons why Pei Wencong said that day, "After I go to the Great Hall, anyone who wants to touch me will have to think twice."
No matter how awesome you are, can you compare to the giant in the north?
Don't you know your own weight? Later, the leader of the lighthouse was thrown into the sea outside Hong Kong Island to feed the fish. A fierce bandit is just a bandit after all.
Seeing Mr. Huo get out of the car, Pei Wencong also went down the steps to greet him: "Sir, please come in and sit down."
"Mr. Pei, you're welcome. We're all acquaintances. Please, please!"
Mr. Huo exchanged a few words with Pei Wencong with a smile before going up the stairs.
Only then did he notice Li Ye.
Li Ye bent down and bowed slightly to show his respect.
The old man nodded politely to Li Ye and walked over with a smile.
As for Fu Guiyin, who was standing behind, her face looked much uglier.
She came here today to apologize to Pei Wencong, but she never expected Li Ye to be here. The swelling on her face hasn't gone down yet! Is she going to slap him in the face again?
But Mr. Tong had to follow Mr. Huo, so how could she, an outsider, dare to run away on the spot? She could only hold her breath and walk into the living room.
But after entering the living room, Fu Guiyin found that Li Ye also had a seat, and her face became even uglier.
Mr. Huo also noticed something strange and asked with a smile, "This little brother looks unfamiliar. Is he a family member of Mr. Pei?"
[I would like to, but unfortunately Mr. Li already has Wen.]
Pei Wencong explained: "This is Mr. Li. His other name is Seven-inch Blade. He happened to be at the scene this morning, so he knows who is right and who is wrong."
Mr. Huo's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled and said, "I know Seven-inch Blade! I've seen "North Wind Flying" and "Homeward Boundary Lonely Soldier". I also know a play called "The Wanderer Returns Home". I'm lucky enough to see it today. I didn't expect you to be so young!"
Li Ye smiled and nodded, "I have heard of Mr. Huo's name a long time ago. I also admire you very much. It is my honor to meet you today."
Seeing the expressions of Li Ye and Mr. Huo, Mr. Tong immediately took the opportunity to say, "Hahaha, we are all family, so it's easy to say! I was at the scene this morning and didn't react. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
When Mr. Tong speaks, he doesn't have that much face.
Li Ye sat back with a cold face, and Pei Wencong did not say anything.
"Haha, it's indeed a misunderstanding."
Seeing the atmosphere getting cold, Prince Beile bit the bullet and said, "Actually, it's my fault this time. I really didn't expect to cause such a thing."
"As everyone knows, the mainland is now opening up and needs the support of foreign capital, so I invited Mr. Ai and Ms. Fu to come and discuss a business deal with Mr. Tong."
What Prince Beile said was a little abrupt, but it fit in with Mr. Huo and Pei Wencong's concerns about the mainland, and slowly livened up the atmosphere on the scene.
But as Li Ye listened, he seemed to understand something.
He looked at Fu Guiyin and a smile appeared on his lips.
Hehe, you are the prey fallen into the trap, but you don’t even know it?
Are you going to sell it and still charge people money?
