Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 24
Hong Kong in this era is somewhat similar to the United States. The barrier policy is a relatively loose immigration measure. Finally, due to the encouragement of infrastructure construction and investment, Hong Kong finally became one of the four Asian tigers in the 80s.

Understanding this, An Yifei easily bought a lot of "wilderness land" with the help of Liang Jiaping, and started to build a movie theater that was not favored by anyone.Moreover, the design drawing of the cinema he took out was very strange, it was a combined cinema divided into multiple screening halls.

For An Yifei and Zhong Chuhong, the whole year of 1976 seemed to pass very quickly. In the first half of the year, they were busy with fresh water plants and new villas. After that, he began to supervise the construction of the film and television city.In 1977, An Yifei applied for a standard Hong Kong identity card. This year, he didn't know whether it was a new life of rebirth or time travel, and he was already 20 years old.

The secret An Yifei has will definitely not tell anyone, and even he himself was confused for a while, "Am I still the original me? The memory is so clear, the altitude of 169 centimeters seems like yesterday. But now, I don’t have the slightest sense of decadence, and my ideals are constantly being realized. As the 80s is getting closer, many stars that I used to look up to will be recruited under my banner, and I will be very excited when I think about it.”

Under his guidance, Fang Yamin did a great job. After launching the money offensive, it almost swept the scattered theaters on Hong Kong Island, and "Phoenix" film and television became the third largest theater chain after Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.Now the only thing that is lacking is overseas distribution channels, but An Yifei is not worried, and has more time.

Of course, Phoenix Film and Television was investing money in the beginning, the construction of new theaters, the expansion and renovation of old theaters, etc., but these are all in An Yifei's plan, and he has already aimed at Shaw Brothers Theater, which is planning to withdraw from the film industry. Wire.

Today's Shaw Brothers movies are gradually going downhill. Although they made the Hui Brothers popular after Bruce Lee's death, due to their relatively stingy personality, this small family that led the box office of Hong Kong movies in the late 70s and early 80s ran away. , set up his own film company, and embarrassed Shaw Brothers many times in the movie box office battle.

Like an idler watching chess, An Yifei is also paying attention to the trend of Hong Kong Island's film and television industry while constantly enriching his fresh water plant and Phoenix Industry.

At this time, Jiayi TV Station is taking a dangerous road, and mistakenly planned to get on the bus first and then buy the ticket.Due to the brand name of Educational TV Station, they are not allowed to engage in too many commercial TV activities, but the main shareholder of the TV station, He Daheng, started to shoot TV series on a large scale after Lin's capital injection.As a result, in December of this year, the Hong Kong government came forward to investigate the matter, and finally led to the suspension of broadcasting in August of the following year, and sadly withdrew from the TV industry.

"Sir, Captain Lu from the security company is asking to see you," Mama Wu came over to report, interrupting An Yifei's thoughts.

"Oh, just bring him here." They were all his subordinates, An Yifei didn't intend to be so formal, and waited in his coastal garden.

"Mr. An", although the tall and tall Lu Jianguo has been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, he still maintains his military style and salutes politely.

"Sit down, Lao Lu, you're not an outsider. Mama Wu, pour me a pot of tea."

"Sir, just this month, three groups of spies from various countries attempted to sneak into the freshwater plant and steal technology. We caught them and sent them to the Hong Kong government. However, I think the final result is still nothing. I'm here to ask for more Manual"

"Oh? Why don't you go to A Fen directly for this matter? Is there any embarrassment?"

"Sir, the number of people I requested...may be a bit too much, so Mr. Liu dare not make a decision, so he can only let me come to you"

"Many? How many people do you want to add?" An Yifei's eyes flashed, and he immediately knew what he had overlooked.On the other side of the mainland, that great man will soon be in power, and it seems that this is planning ahead of time.

Lu Jianguo smiled awkwardly, "Sir, I have 100 retired comrades-in-arms, and it is difficult to settle down. They all rely on connections to find me, but you know, the Hong Kong government is very strict about the number of people in the security company. Only you can come forward."

In fact, this year, Red Shield Security has almost become a Hong Kong garrison under the protection of An Yifei, and has gradually increased to more than 80 people. An Yifei plans to go there to calculate food expenses or something if there is a chance , this group of people are all raised by themselves.Fortunately, the more reassuring thing is that elites are elites. Although there is no concept of special forces, these carefully selected guys have prevented many attempts to sabotage freshwater plants and steal technology.It can be regarded as a waste of money.

An Yifei intends to speak clearly, because the most difficult period over there is about to pass, and such a good bridge as the Red Shield may be an excellent pawn in the future, and he cannot use it.

"Captain Lu, smart people don't speak dark words. Although I turn a blind eye to many things, but you have asked too many people this time, it's not easy to handle."

Of course, Lu Jianguo knew that the young man in front of him was very smart, and the domestic investigations into him had no actual results. Everything about his hometown and cousins ​​was true, but after that era when he was connected everywhere, there was nothing to follow. appeared in Hong Kong.What is even more infuriating is that the introduction letters from the supply and marketing agency that have been investigated one after another are all true, and finally, the reason is found.The corrupt accountant still did not escape and was arrested and brought to justice.

The great man had already started working, and after learning about the situation, he criticized the previous plan of monitoring and even planning to tie An Yifei back to the mainland, and finally changed it to a rational plan of friendly cooperation and cooperation.This made Lu Jianguo and others who had received the new order breathe a sigh of relief. Only those who are here will understand what a terrifying master An Yifei is, as evidenced by the broken stones on the ground where he practiced.

Lu Jianguo, with a firm face, was a little embarrassed. Although the Freshwater Plant had many dormitories and a canteen, it was not prepared to support people like himself, "Sir, since you asked. I will say what I am allowed to say. Forgive me for the rest, I can’t say more. We have been ordered to be stationed for a long time and be ready to support other units at any time to ensure the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, so it is necessary to increase the number of people.”

Although there are still struggles, the chief has gradually gained power, and after getting the information, he admires the self-made An Yifei very much, and the novels he wrote are also favorites of this great man.He also knew that An Yifei would not be an idiot, he should have seen what the so-called Red Shield Security was all about, he admired the young man's tacit cooperation, and asked Lu Jianguo and others to protect and treat him as the chief.

An Yifei sat on the rattan chair and tapped the table with his fingers, "Lao Lu, it's not appropriate for you all to stay in the freshwater plant. This can be your camp, which is also good for the safety here. But we still have to spread the word." Go out and integrate into Hong Kong society to disguise yourself. The number of top security companies is approved at 200 people. I will fight for you. You go back and sort out the evidence that has not been sent out. I will go directly to the Governor of Hong Kong.”

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it now." Lu Jianguo was very happy, and finally completed this task.

The freshwater plant has been running smoothly for a year and has completely solved the drinking water problem on Hong Kong Island. MacLehose has ordered the termination of the construction of the High Island Reservoir.Because he learned that today's fresh water plant only turns on three instruments in turn, which seems to be more than enough for fresh water supply.But he was very afraid of meeting An Yifei. Because of its super technology, the freshwater plant has become the target of many countries. An Yifei confessed.

"Your Excellency, it's hard for me to explain. It's okay to say that those spies who were caught were just trying to get technology. But it's really too much to let them go if they want to sabotage. Mr. An's request to see him this time is already a very restrained behavior." , but I also need your comfort." Liang Jiaping looked at MacLehose helplessly. He didn't know how to explain this kind of thing. They were all released by the order of the Governor of Hong Kong. He didn't want to take the blame.

"Okay, Jiaping. Let Ann come here, and I'll explain to him." MacLehose rubbed his temples. He is a member of a British family. Apart from the responsibility of being the governor of Hong Kong, the family also needs a lot of benefits.And the conditions offered by the countries where the spies were caught made him unable to refuse under the pressure of the family.

"Your Excellency, hello." An Yifei, who had a little mixed-race traits, brought the British aristocratic etiquette, which made MacLehose feel very comfortable.

"Please sit down, Ann. I know that some guys have made a lot of trouble recently, which has caused you trouble, but Hong Kong Island is not easy to deal with it too much as a free port. If there is a compromise, even if it is the Governor of Hong Kong, I You have to weigh the pros and cons too. Do you understand me when I say that?"

"Understood, Your Excellency. I'm just here to explain my difficulties. You know, the police circle on Hong Kong Island is still being dealt with. The only thing I can rely on is the security company. With repeated failures, the level of spies sent is getting higher and higher. .I need stronger protections, free countries respect intellectual property rights, but, you know, many other places won't be content without it"

Of course, MacLehose understands the importance of the fresh water plant to the whole of Hong Kong. Even if An Yifei didn't come to him, he would ask for an upgrade of the security there, and the fresh water plant pays for the support of the people, so why not do it, "An, I will order to upgrade your security company. If you want to say, you are still smart, the people you choose are all from there, and none of them can be bought. I heard that some RB people planned to buy your security, and they were directly arrested. good"

Now that it’s out of the way, An Yifei doesn’t think that as the governor of Hong Kong, he doesn’t know about those things, “Your Excellency, I don’t want to delve into the origins of those people. But they have no bad intentions. I have been observing this year for nothing more than Don’t let chaos in Hong Kong affect the mainland. I pretended not to know, hehe”

MacLehose laughed, "An, you have the cunning unique to nobles", he was very happy from the bottom of his heart, and also made a "smart person" evaluation of An Yifei for not asking about the whereabouts of those spies.

"Your Excellency, I really want to buy a TV station. This is my preference. And I have a whole set of plans to make a qualitative leap in the culture of Hong Kong Island."

"Really? Well... Ann, the number of TV stations should be controlled. The tiny Hong Kong cannot have too many commercial stations to avoid vicious competition. But... we plan to review the Jiayi TV station. They The operators of the company are too arrogant and ignore the laws of the Hong Kong government. If you want to buy, be prepared”

"Okay, Your Excellency. I'm very honored, thank you", An Yifei satisfactorily achieved the purpose of this visit, and after saluting in an elegant aristocratic posture, he said goodbye and left.

"A great young man, it's rare to have a broad mind." MacLehose was somewhat influenced by An Yifei's spiritual power quietly exuding, and he regarded some things as inevitable.
