Chapter 1765 An inexplicable gift
"Tong Xing is confirmed to star in the mainland's annual costume drama, which will be produced by the mainland's number one film and television production company, Kiwi Films. She is expected to become a new generation of costume goddess!"
"Beauty star Baizhi went north to film to avoid the scandal of x-ray photos. She has been confirmed to star in a hot action movie with an investment of over 80 million!"
"Stars are moving north one after another, and the mainland's film and television industry is developing rapidly, gradually catching up with Hong Kong."
"How do we adapt to this era? Facing competitors with strong capital and strength, should the Hong Kong film industry develop together or compete for the first place?"
"..."
Bathed in the sunshine in the Peninsula Hotel's cafe, drinking afternoon tea and reading a magazine, Li Shaozhi had a rare moment of leisure.
The Peninsula Hotel’s cafe was created because Mr. Shao Liuye liked to have afternoon tea here in the 1950s and 1960s, which attracted many executives from entertainment companies, celebrities, etc. to come here. Over the decades, the Peninsula Hotel’s cafe has become very important to Hong Kong.
For people in the entertainment industry, it is already a place of special significance.
Precisely because there are so many celebrities hanging out here, some wealthy people or star-chasers also like to come here, which makes it hard to find a place here, and there are often people queuing up, waiting to get in.
However, there are exceptions, that is, guests staying at the Peninsula Hotel can enter directly without making a reservation or queuing.
Therefore, many celebrities and wealthy people have private rooms at the Peninsula Hotel all year round. On the one hand, it is for convenient accommodation and rest, and on the other hand, they come here specifically to drink coffee and eat snacks.
In fact, this is also a kind of showing off one's status. It is a pursuit of class, and the real meaning is not great. But there are still many people flocking to it.
After Li Shaozhi was kidnapped and rescued, in order to calm himself down, just after the Spring Festival at the beginning of this year, he rented a suite at the Peninsula Hotel for a long time so that he could have afternoon tea and relax.
But she has a younger brother to take care of, and she hasn't been here very long, so Feng Kexin can enjoy the rights to the coffee shop and tea seats in this private room. Qiu Dan can also enjoy it.
Although Li Shaozhi is not sitting in the most conspicuous position, because she is so beautiful, her light makeup makes her even more stunning.
In addition, this exquisite and elegant stunning beauty now controls more than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets. In terms of strength, she is definitely one of the top 50 super rich people in Hong Kong. Her demeanor and momentum are naturally different from when she was a star before. There is a vague feeling between Gu Pan.
The majesty is so majestic that it makes people dazzled by it.
There were many celebrities coming and going for tea. They were very interested in the fact that Li Shaozhi could still live such a leisurely and prosperous life now that he was no longer acting.
But every time I saw Li Shaozhi, it was just the familiar celebrities who smiled and said hello. At most, one or two of Li Shaozhi's friends would sit there, say a few words and then leave.
Not to mention anything else, the horrifying scene that happened in the banquet hall of TVB's Thousand Stars celebrating Taiwan was passed down by word of mouth among people in the industry.
Even boss Yan Chenglong Yan has to accompany Smiley as a thug. Li Shaozhi's background is so profound that people can't even imagine it.
Ordinary celebrities don't know. But some of the rich people who come and go know vaguely.
It’s not that word spread about the last time Xiao Qi came to Hong Kong to rescue Li Shaozhi. That matter was well concealed by the police and Yan Chenglong. People who knew a little bit about the inside story didn’t dare to say anything for fear of attracting trouble for themselves.
What a big trouble.
The rich people knew less about it, but they all guessed that the man behind Li Shaozhi might be Xiao Qi.
The reason is very simple. Li Shaozhi's life has changed too much. Luxury houses, luxury cars, bodyguards, etc. are all available. If he is not from a top wealthy family, he would not be able to do it.
What's more important is that Yan Chenglong has made a fortune recently thanks to Xiao Qi. His defense of Li Shaozhi naturally makes people think of the elegant and elegant richest man in the world.
By the way, in Hong Kong, "feng" is definitely not a derogatory term, but a life that makes everyone envious. This is similar to the atmosphere in Europe and the United States.
The cafe was very elegant, and everyone spoke very quietly. Li Shaozhi finished reading the magazine, lazily raised his hand, looked at his watch, and found that the time was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
The beautiful star frowned slightly, and a woman in her thirties walked quickly over there. She sat opposite her unceremoniously, grabbed a glass of water on the table and drank it all.
She was originally dressed as a lady, but there were beads of sweat on her face, and she looked tired after running, which made Li Shaozhi's impatience completely dissipate.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The lady drank the water and then said with a wry smile: "The traffic in Hong Kong is so inconvenient. I was stuck in traffic on Nathan Road for an hour. I also encountered a small car accident on the road, which delayed me again.
It took a lot of time, Miss Li, to keep you waiting!"
Of course it's been a long wait.
It has been almost an hour since the appointment between the two. As Li Shaozhi, being able to wait until now is already a great honor to her.
Of course, Li Shaozhi is not a person without a city. She smiled slightly: "Sister Dan, look what you said, I have nothing to do, and I just happened to take a rest."
Seeing that she wasn't angry, at least she didn't show any anger, Qiu Dan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Actually, I came to you today because there is something really urgent. I couldn't explain something clearly on the phone."
"Sister Dan, please speak!" Li Shaozhi said lightly. She had given full authority to Qiu Dan to handle the matter of Zhizhi's jewelry. Today Qiu Dan specially called her to ask her to come out and talk about the matter. It must be more important.
Qiu Dan said with a horrified look: "This morning, Zheng Xiaolong from Chow Tai Fook invited me to have morning tea. He said that Chow Tai Fook is going to give us 20 special craftsmen, 100 first-level craftsmen, and 300 second-level craftsmen to help Zhizhi Jewelry
Development, this scared me so much that I didn’t dare to agree, so I could only come over and ask you what you meant first, and see if you knew the reason?”
"What!?"
Li Shaozhi's beautiful eyes widened.
Although she is not directly in charge of Zhizhi Jewelry now, she is also working hard to learn relevant knowledge about the jewelry industry so that she can have more control in the future.
Therefore, she knew how shocking the information Jiu Dan just said was.
In the jewelry industry, there are always only two most important things, not how much your storefront is, not how much money you have, but how many craftsmen you have, how many gold, diamonds and other resources you have!
Gold diamonds are better and can be purchased through various channels. There are many people who cannot buy blood diamonds, but Li Shaozhi will not go to that step. Because of Xiao Qi, she has a lot of connections.
Resources are enough for her to buy enough raw materials.
Only the best craftsmen are the core resource of any jewelry store.
They have finally achieved what they have achieved today after more than ten years and decades of polishing and practical operation, and the various jewelry and jades they have made and polished are the crystal-clear treasures that finally appear in front of shoppers.
.
Without them, gold is just an ugly yellow metal, diamonds are just stones, and silver is full of black luster. They are not beautiful at all and do not attract people's desire to buy.
However, the more capable these people are, the more the jewelry store they work for is more concerned about them. In addition to the most generous treatment, there is also the most demanding binding contract. Under normal circumstances, there is basically no way to get them.
For example, all the craftsmen of Xie Ruilin Jewelry were taken away by Xie Ruilin, leaving none of them for Zhizhi Jewelry.
If it weren't for dozens of high-paying poachers from the mainland, plus some support from Chow Tai Fook, Zhizhi Jewelry would probably have to rely on buying other people's finished products to do business.
But even if Chow Tai Fook had supported some craftsmen before, they were only first-level craftsmen, second- and third-level craftsmen, and none of the special-level craftsmen were given, because even Chow Tai Fook, which has a century-old foundation, only has more than 60 special-level craftsmen.
Now that almost one-third is given at once, plus so many first- and second-level craftsmen, it is definitely a strain for Chow Tai Fook, who is almost the number one in Asia!
On the other hand, with these craftsmen from Chow Tai Fook, Chi Chi Jewelry will soon become one of the top ten jewelry stores in Asia. If we work harder, it is absolutely possible to directly become the third jewelry store in Hong Kong in the future.
However, Li Shaozhi couldn't figure out why the Zheng family would give him such great benefits.
Li Shaozhi is not too smart, especially when it comes to big things.
However, she also has her own advantage, that is, she can ask questions when she doesn't understand. Especially since she has a husband who is the richest man in the world and a young genius, it is easier for her to obtain information.
"Wait a minute."
Thinking of this, Li Shaozhi directly picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Husband, what are you doing?"
Xiao Qi received a call from his wife and was a little curious, "Hey Zhizhi, I'm dealing with something in the company, how about you?"
"I was drinking coffee with Sister Dan at the Peninsula Hotel." Li Shaozhi saw that Xiao Qi was busy, so he spoke a little faster, and quickly told the story about Chow Tai Fook, and finally said: "Husband, do you know what they mean?
?”
Xiao Qi is such a smart person. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately thought of why the Zheng family did this.
Listening to Xiao Qi explaining the reason to her, Li Shaozhi's delicate smile was so bright and charming that even Qiu Dan, who was opposite him, looked a little distracted.
"Hmm~Okay...Husband, I love you! You must remember to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible!"
Li Shaozhi hung up the phone reluctantly, and when she looked up at Qiu Dan, her pink face showed confidence and pride: "Sister Dan, go back and reply to Zheng Xiaolong, thank him for his gift!"
Qiu Dan was stunned: "Accept it?"
"Yes! Take it!" Li Shaozhi nodded firmly.
"But, they have spent so much, and we need to pay the price..."
"Don't worry about them." Li Shaozhi interrupted her and said confidently: "My husband will take care of the rest."
Qiu Dan suddenly felt envious.
Li Shaozhi is so lucky to have such a good husband~~
