Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Lu Yongqiang thought that the three movies Liu Wei shot in just two months must be shoddy, and he would probably lose a lot of money this time. However, the result was just the opposite. Although the three movies did not take a long time to shoot, they were not shoddy. On the contrary, the production level was online.

After the three movies were released, although they were not big hits, none of them lost money. On the contrary, because they were low-budget productions, there was still potential for profit.

It was only after the three films had made huge profits that Lu Yongqiang realized that his shell company, which had only a dozen employees, had grown into a film and television company with more than 100 employees. The company not only had directors and screenwriters, but also had signed nearly ten artists.

The inexplicable growth of the company under his control was a good thing no matter how you looked at it. In addition, Lu Yongqiang was optimistic about the future development of the entertainment industry, so he prepared to let Liu Wei do it and planned to increase investment in the film and television company.

However, after really understanding the specific situation of the film and television company, Lu Yongqiang realized that although the company had grown inexplicably, its management was very chaotic. It was true that Liu Wei could make movies, but he could not manage the company.

Under Liu Wei's management, the company only focuses on creative work. As for how to develop the contracted artists, Liu Wei is clueless. When it comes to business, Liu Wei knows nothing at all.

Lu Yongqiang thought about it and let Yang Tian take over the film and television company, and as for the taxi company, he let Lu Hao take over.

Letting Yang Tian take over the film and television company is actually forcing him to do something he is not prepared for. Lu Yongqiang doesn't know whether Yang Tian can manage the film and television company well.

But after Yang Tian went to the film and television company, he did not disappoint Lu Yongqiang. With Lu Yongqiang's strong support, the film and television company now has eight directors, sixteen screenwriters, and twenty-six contracted artists, including three first-tier stars, nine second-tier stars, and the rest are all third-tier actors. In addition to these key figures, the company has more than 400 employees.

Now Yang Tian is already considered a rising star in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Although he is still not as influential as Xu Huasheng of Xinji, the gap is limited.

In terms of financial resources, Xinji cannot compare with Lu Yongqiang. Xinji is planning to develop cinema chains in Hong Kong, while Lu Yongqiang is more ambitious and is preparing to develop domestically. According to Yang Tian's plan, he will first invest in a film and television shooting base in China, and then slowly develop cinema chains. The focus of the film and television company's development will then be placed in China.

Lu Yongqiang, knowing the future development of Yang Tian, naturally would not object to Yang Tian's plan. He had made a lot of money in the stock market and now had a lot of money in his hands. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave Yang Tian an investment of 1 billion yuan.

…………

Over the weekend, Lu Yongqiang, along with Jiang Tianyang and Datuk Chen Jianan, had a chance encounter with Cai Yuanqi and several other senior police officials on a golf course.

Lu Yongqiang just introduced the two parties to each other, and then they played ball together. Lu Yongqiang then treated everyone to a meal, during which they only talked about love and romance, and did not discuss any serious business.

Lu Yongqiang thought that he would have nothing to do after that, but he didn't expect that that damn Chen Jianan was like a dog-skin plaster, which could not be shaken off once it stuck to him. Not only did he come to Lu Yongqiang several times, he also used the beauty trap on Lu Yongqiang.

In the movie, in order to plot against Chen Haonan, Datuk Chen Jianan sent a woman named Meiling to approach Chen Haonan. But now this woman did not approach Chen Haonan, but instead had three encounters with Lu Yongqiang.

Once, Chen Jianan went to find Lu Yongqiang and said that he could help Lu Yongqiang open up sales channels for the food company in Malaysia and wanted to become the exclusive agent of Juhaochi Food Company in Malaysia.

The other person came politely to discuss business. Although Lu Yongqiang felt a little annoyed, he didn't want to get angry. He took the initiative to invite Chen Jianan to dinner that night.

While having dinner, he happened to meet Meiling. With the introduction of Datuk Chen Jianan, Lu Yongqiang learned that Meiling was the goddaughter of Malay gangster Xiong Qi.

Xiong Qi, an old veteran of the Hongmen, is the underground godfather in Malaysia. Strictly speaking, Chen Jianan relies on Xiong Qi for his livelihood.

According to the relationship between Hongmen and Hongxing, among all the people in Hongxing, the big boss has to call Xiongqi "Seventh Uncle" and the younger brothers have to call Xiongqi "Seventh Master".

When Jiang Tianyang and Lu Yongqiang saw Xiong Qi, they had to respectfully call him Uncle Seven. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful. Of course, given Jiang Tianyang and Lu Yongqiang's current status, Xiong Qi didn't dare to take advantage of their seniority.

Meiling is Xiongqi's goddaughter, so there is a relationship between them. Since they met, Lu Yongqiang invited Meiling to have dinner together.

After the meal, the two sides had a preliminary acquaintance.

A few days later, Lu Yongqiang went to his brother's nightclub to drink. When he left, he met Meiling again at the door of the nightclub. The woman was drunk and there were two friends who were also drunk beside her. The three of them were staggering as they walked.

Seeing these people, Lu Yongqiang had no intention of going up to say hello, but he didn't expect that the woman was sharp-eyed and actually saw Lu Yongqiang, and then staggered over to say hello.

Seeing that she couldn't even walk steadily, and this was his place, Lu Yongqiang couldn't just leave her alone. Otherwise, if something happened, it would be very troublesome. Lu Yongqiang arranged for the nightclub staff to take a few people to the hotel upstairs to rest.

The next afternoon, Lu Yongqiang received a call from the woman, saying that she wanted to invite Lu Yongqiang to dinner to thank him for his help last night.

Lu Yongqiang made an excuse not to agree, and thought the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, two days later, in the middle of the night, when Lu Yongqiang was sleeping soundly, he received a call from the police station saying that his friend was arrested for causing trouble and asked Lu Yongqiang to go to the police station to pay bail.

As for the plot of Young and Dangerous, Lu Yongqiang only watched the first three parts in his previous life. He did not watch the later parts, so he did not know that Datuk Chen Jianan was a bad guy, nor did he know that Meiling was Chen Jianan's person.

Besides, even if he did, Lu Yongqiang probably wouldn't care. Almost all of the Five Tigers of the East Star died at his hands, either directly or indirectly. The plot had already changed completely. Lu Yongqiang no longer relied on plots to plan ahead, but instead relied entirely on his strength to crush them.

The reason why Lu Yongqiang disliked Chen Jianan as soon as he met him was entirely because he realized through analysis that Chen Jianan had bad intentions in cooperating with Hongxing.

There are gangs and gangsters in Hong Kong, and the same is true in Malaysia. There are also many underworld forces. Chen Jianan, as a person with some status in Malaysia, is also acquainted with the big boss there, Xiong Qi.

As soon as he met Chen Haonan, he handed over the property he developed in Malaysia to Chen Haonan to help manage. It was not that Lu Yongqiang looked down on Chen Haonan, but this matter itself was unreasonable.

If the property was in Hong Kong, then leaving it to Chen Haonan would be acceptable. However, if the property was in Malaysia, how could Chen Haonan help? Could he even trick a bunch of Hong Kong tycoons into investing in real estate in Malaysia?

The financial crisis has just ended half a year ago. Hong Kong and Malaysia have been affected. People in Hong Kong are generally pessimistic about the real estate industry in recent years. At this time, who would invest in Malaysia?

Chen Jianan is a businessman. Since he is a businessman, an old fox like Chen Jianan will not do anything that is not profitable.

So when Lu Yongqiang heard that Chen Jianan had handed over the property he was developing in Malaysia to Chen Haonan, he realized that there was something wrong.

Lu Yongqiang even called Jiang Tianyang about this matter. It wasn't because of Chen Haonan's consideration, but because Chen Haonan was being trained as the next successor, which was a decision made after everyone's discussion.

If Chen Haonan, the successor, was betrayed, everyone in Hongxing would lose face and feel somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Tianyang also noticed something was wrong, but he said it was not a bad thing and asked Lu Yongqiang not to interfere, saying that it was a training for Chen Haonan.

Jiang Tianyang was using this to train a successor, so Lu Yongqiang naturally stayed out of the situation. In fact, it wasn't just Lu Yongqiang and Jiang Tianyang who noticed something was amiss. Others, like Han Bin, had also noticed something was amiss, like he had no fondness for Chen Jianan. Everyone pretended to be oblivious, and it must have been Jiang Tianyang who had made the call.

Lu Yongqiang even suspected that Jiang Tianyang's vacation was part of his training plan. Otherwise, he would have been tired after not taking a break for several years and would have to go abroad to rest for a few months.
