Chapter 020 Aren't these the businesses of arms dealers?
Hong Jinbao was also very busy at the beginning of this 90s.
Besides "The Powdered Heroes" which will be released during the summer season, he also stars in "Eight Taels of Gold" and "The Rich and Powerful Army" which are yet to start filming.
For example, the project that the boss invested in (the one where the scoundrel steals the job) was an ordinary, unremarkable project.
Baohe currently has several investments awaiting commencement.
During the summer vacation (money laundering), Rosamund Kwan took a quick photo of the completed film (One Bite OK).
They were all invested in by Hung Chin-po's other film company, D&B Films.
The several leading roles that Sister Guan played in 1990 can be attributed to Lao Hong's great care and support for the younger generation.
He and Guan Shan had collaborated many times in the 70s and became good friends.
The phrase "(Summer Lucky Star)" and "(Unlucky Ghost Steals the Wall)" both exemplify the care and concern one should have.
Old Hong is indeed a very busy man, always spinning like a top.
To sum it up in one sentence, Hung Kam-po is making eight out of ten films that lose money, yet he still keeps starting new projects!
After a brief inquiry about RMB settlement and mainland China-produced films, I was able to answer some questions.
Old Hong laughed and said, "Mr. Su, I don't understand proper business trade and investment management."
"I'm familiar with the film and television industry, and I haven't formally thanked you yet for providing such a fresh idea for Master Ba's crew."
"If you need any help with your kung fu, just ask."
Old Hong knows about investment and financial management. Rosamund Kwan said that he wanted to learn financial management from others so that he could take on more film contracts and earn more money.
However, Rosamund Kwan did not specify what she was voting for.
Old Hong was happy to accept it, at least it was a legitimate way to earn money.
Su Nan laughed, "I really do need Sanmao's help, he's the second male and female lead in Kung Fu Hustle."
"I'd like to ask Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu for help. I also wanted Sister Chi to pass on a message."
Hong Jinbao laughed. Was this a request for his help? It was to help his junior brothers and sisters start work and have meals.
"I heard Zhizhi say that the second male and female leads in your script are both positive supporting characters."
"They have a lot of room to perform; if they play their part well, they can win awards."
"Although we have Master Eight's action choreography team, you can still ask if you need anything, and our Sammo Hung Stunt Team can also help."
"The money laundering schedule is almost finalized. Su Sheng is interested in going to the midnight screening together."
Before Yuan Heping received the new idea, he expected the money laundering project to be worth HK$1000 million in Hong Kong.
Whether it can be achieved is unknown.
After two months of hard work filming and post-production, Yuan Heping felt that they could try to gross over HK$1500 million at the Hong Kong box office.
Don't think this box office is small. To date, including the 90 film "God of Gamblers," there have only been six films that broke the 2 mark.
As one of the bosses, Hung Kin-po also needs to achieve results.
If you make ten movies and lose money on eight of them, how can you not need them?
At first glance, it appears to be a vibrant and bustling spectacle.
The company's expense settlements kept reminding him, Lao Hong, that he was standing on the edge of a cliff and was doomed!
The year 90 is almost over, and he has been losing money 80% of the time.
Fortunately, the losses were mostly incurred by the major shareholder, Jiahe, and another person, Lao Pan.
The next moment, Lao Hong looked around and saw that he and Su Chen were the only three people within a few meters.
He laughed heartily, "90 is almost over, and in 91 my companies also have about ten filming projects planned."
"If Mr. Su is interested, I can reserve two leading roles for you."
"If Mr. Su doesn't like it, I can help him if he needs a clean cash allowance."
Su Nan was taken aback. After thinking for several seconds, he smoked and said, "Thanks for your kindness, Brother Sanmao. We'll see."
"However, if you are interested in trade with Moscow in mainland China, I can help you make connections."
In cross-border trade, powerful figures from the mainland are rapidly rising and vying for competition.
It's okay to lend a hand to Lao Hong; this is his way of supporting a half-white glove.
The main reason is that big stars tend to attract a lot of attention when they are in the spotlight.
Old Hong is willing to offer to help with money laundering; he's good at getting things done. We can consider partnering with him.
After all, while buying property and investing in Microsoft in southern Jiangsu looks good on paper, a significant amount of money is actually difficult to explain.
The hundreds of thousands of US dollars were brought back from his personal space.
He previously said to secure one carriage first and then try to secure more, so why is a white glove still needed?
Do you think there were several passenger trains regularly running between China and Mauritius from 90 to 93? Only 2!
One train has eleven or twelve carriages, and there are about 20 carriages in total.
That's all there is.
It's not a big deal if southern Jiangsu maintains stability for one quarter, but if they directly take a second quarter, they'll be watched by countless powerful figures across the country.
Including being targeted by countless retail investors and speculators, it's too much of a target.
There are 1.1 billion people in mainland China, and you alone account for one-tenth of them?
So, if you put a white glove on someone in the second passenger carriage, it looks better, and when the railway boss gives it to you, it can shut others up.
Hong Jinbao took the cigarette in surprise and said, "Ah, you can share this too?"
"I heard that the former brother-in-law of the 'Big Eyes Guy' from Hutchison Whampoa in Yau Ma Tei is dead??"
"If I take you under my wing, how much tuition will I have to pay? What percentage of the profits will I have to give to you, Mr. Su?"
He said he could help two leading actresses from southern Jiangsu launder money as a way of giving back to the idea of money laundering.
It's also possible that Guan Zhilin's agency contract was signed with Skyworth, which was meant to help her niece.
He produces so many movies, more than a dozen a year is the norm for him. Even though he loses money, he can still boost his popularity.
When it comes to money laundering, it doesn't matter who you help launder the money for.
The nature of gray money in southern Jiangsu is still the least serious.
You can criticize Lao Hong for being outdated, unable to keep up with the times, and being abandoned by the audience.
But when he offered to take care of his eldest niece, he was surprised to find that Su Nan was actually sharing the spoils of their business!
According to news spread by Hutchison Whampoa, Su Sheng's trading business generates tens of millions in profit annually.
It's not that he spent tens of millions a year investing and spending so much that he ended up with a huge loss on the bill!
Su Nan laughed and said, "We spent millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy daily necessities and supplies in mainland China, and then shipped them to Moscow to trade with the rule-abiding Mafia."
"On the way back, I bought the design blueprints for the Su-27 fourth-generation fighter jet and high-performance materials."
"Or it may be related to the design blueprints of the ground-based T-80U tank and high-performance materials."
"These can generate a large amount of net profit in RMB."
"Of course, if one day we buy tanks and fighter jets and bring them back, our sense of the big picture will inflate."
Hong Jinbao was deeply shocked. "Real fighter jets, tanks?"
I've never seen anything like it before. He also directed a war film called "Eastern Condors," and the scale of the battle scenes was quite impressive.
Could they be involved in the massive arms trade? That's more than just frightening.
Su Nan explained with a smile, "If you find it inconvenient to spend RMB, then when your contribution is significant enough..."
"It's possible to get involved in some exchange activities."
"Hong Kong Island imports hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars worth of pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, frozen meat, and fruits from the mainland every year."
"This is led by state-owned enterprises, with orders placed in mainland China using Hong Kong dollars or US dollars."
"But if you work in these industries, even if you slip through your fingers a little bit of money, you'll get it back."
This is the fastest and most legal way to exchange RMB for HKD.
Regardless of the chicken, duck, beef, mutton, fruits, and vegetables that millions of people eat daily, every year millions of people consume far too much.
Once you've established a certain level of connections, dealing with tens of millions in a market worth hundreds of billions is no big deal.
Daily food and drink costs hundreds of billions, but what about the rest? Alcohol, clothes, shoes, socks, umbrellas, and so on.
It's the most booming construction industry in Hong Kong; giving you some cement resources is a way to monetize them.
Not now!
But if a Su-27 flies back from that side, it's a fourth-generation fighter!
Or bring back a few frigates and destroyers that are far more advanced than those currently in service on the mainland.
No matter how much the mainland lacks foreign exchange, it will still settle tens or hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars with them.
If it's still a bank settlement, and he does a good job, then he's part of the big picture.
Hong Jinbao was even more bewildered and shocked. "Su Sheng, you can fly planes? Tanks?"
Isn't this the business of arms dealers?!
Su Nan was both amused and exasperated. "I don't know how, but we can hire a bunch of people who do."
"With a stable source of income, the short-term profits or losses of film and television production are not important."
"So I haven't considered showing my (Kung Fu) film in Taiwan for the time being."
"Take it one step at a time, eat one bite at a time, and we'll achieve this small goal in three years."
Old Hong was once again stunned and dizzy.
He has always felt exhausted in the film and television industry, and his career has been on a downward spiral.
They always rack their brains trying to figure out how to stop losses and then turn a profit.
I chatted with Su Sheng for a few minutes, and I felt like I was about to develop a brain.
