Chu Yu was dumbfounded. The ambition of this dignified bigwig after retirement was actually to sell barbecue skewers? She was truly amazed.
She couldn't help but sigh, and said seriously, "Boss, your ambition is truly lofty, I can only say I admire you! However, selling kebabs also requires skill, it's not something anyone can do well!"
Yu Xiangwen was indignant. He stopped smoking and took the wet cigarette butt out of his mouth.
"You're wrong about that. My kebab-making skills are top-notch. Back when I was younger, when Longcheng was a thug, I was the one who cooked when he got home. Don't be fooled by Longcheng's skill with a knife and his ruthless killing ability; his cooking is absolutely terrible! He makes every fish jump around in his mouth. It took him several years to learn how to kill a fish! He honed his double-knife skills by killing fish in his early days!"
The man spoke in a half-truth, and Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yu Xiangwen, why do I always feel like there's a lot of exaggeration in what you say?"
Yu Xiangwen gave him a look that said, "You've wronged an innocent person." He said, "I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?"
"Alright, maybe you have a bit of a foxy, cunning air about you. You always smile when you look at people, but nobody knows what you're thinking."
Yu Xiangwen is wronged! "My appearance is a gift from my parents. I was born with smiling eyes, what am I supposed to do?"
Chu Yu suppressed a laugh and didn't continue the topic.
Looks are innate, but Yu Xiangwen's decisive and ruthless aura is not. Otherwise, why would the people of Xinyi City be afraid of Longcheng but afraid of Yu Xiangwen?
Long Cheng is simple-minded and decisive in handling problems. That day, when Scarface got into trouble, he looked at Yu Xiangwen's expression and asked Long Cheng for punishment.
It's just that they know Longcheng punishes people according to the rules.
Conversely, it can be inferred that Yu Xiangwen does not follow the rules, and his methods of punishing people will only be more ruthless than Long Cheng's.
"By the way, you know about the talent shows that Hua Lai organizes in mainland China?"
Yu Xiangwen raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
"The talent shows have been going on for a year or two, and it's time to end them. Although the TV stations want us to continue, I think that these artists can't just keep doing talent shows forever. They need to act in movies and TV series so that people will know that those who participate in our talent shows and stand out can really become stars! So I'm thinking of picking some from this group and putting them into new movies or TV series."
However, there are still quite a few veteran artists from Hua Lai in Xin Yi Cheng, and the current number of movies is simply not enough.
There are too many monks and not enough meat, isn't there?
Chu Yu was thinking of investing in more movies and TV series so that his subordinates would have work to do and make money.
Yu Xiangwen is a man of great loyalty, so naturally he wouldn't refuse her. Some of the younger brothers in Xinyi City who were good at being in front of the camera were all pulled by Yu Xiangwen to act in movies.
It sounds ridiculous that gangsters would transition into acting, but it's actually true.
Yu Xiangwen's underlings also need to earn money. The post-production staff under his command all need to eat. Everyone can only eat if they keep working. The wages of the staff in Hong Kong are not high. Yu Xiangwen also agrees that Chu Yu should make more movies.
Chu Yu has nurtured quite a few artists these days.
Tang Zhenni, Anna, Zuo Ran, and Hua Qing are already household names.
These people have star power and fame, so they should always be the main focus; we can't touch the cake of these veteran artists.
At the same time, Chu Yu felt that there was a surplus of artists and that more investment should be made in movies and TV series.
The two verbally agreed that Yu Xiangwen would always make the decisions regarding business matters in Xinyi City. Yu Xiangwen nodded in agreement, and Longcheng would just go through the motions.
Chu Yu also surveyed the environment of Gangcheng and took a liking to several locations. She asked a real estate agent to keep an eye on them and contact her if anyone wanted to resell the land. Chu Yu felt that Gangcheng was a great place to retire. If she could build a villa in the future and come here occasionally for a few days as a vacation, that would be nice.
After inspecting the land plot, he spent New Year's Eve with his family, acquired the skincare brand Liuguang, punished Mao Xia, and reached a cooperation agreement with Xinyicheng for the next few years, taking away hundreds of millions of yuan from Xinyicheng.
Chu Yu's trip to the port city was quite busy!
In 1989, the market in the South China Sea was booming, and the price of land for sale was rising every month. The land in Chu Yu's hands was in a good location, and people wanted to buy it at high prices, but Chu Yu refused them all.
Chu Yu knew it wasn't time yet; they were only at the beginning.
The current reserve price is only a few hundred thousand yuan per mu. How much money can she make by selling a few plots of land?
She will consider selling when the price reaches five million per acre.
Chu Yu made good use of the hundreds of millions of yuan that Xinyi City gave him. He used the money to buy some land for development and also bought two plots of land by the sea to build hotels, preparing to develop the tourism industry.
By this time, the market in the South China Sea was already very hot, even without Chu Yu's intervention. Ji Kai brought the funds he had raised to the South China Sea and, under Chu Yu's guidance, bought a good piece of land, preparing to develop it himself.
He was a young man from Vancouver. He had experienced hardship in business, but the hardships of working on construction sites were not something that ordinary people could endure.
As house prices rise day by day, more and more people are coming to Nanhai to make their fortune. Ji Kai's blood is boiling, and he can't wait to build the houses and put them up for sale. He can make tens of millions just by building and selling them!
Seeing so much money but not making it, Ji Kai couldn't sleep well. He went to the construction site every day, urging the contractor to speed up the progress, and he lost a lot of weight.
"Have you lost weight too quickly? No matter how hard you work, you can't neglect yourself." Chu Yu came over to meet him.
Ji Kai ate his meal in big mouthfuls. He ate quite a lot, but the weather in the South China Sea was hot, and the work on the construction site was tiring. Ji Kai was exhausted every day, and his clothes were tattered. He couldn't be as well-dressed as he was in Wenzhou.
