Chapter 1355 Arrival in Hong Kong
1355
The car drove quickly to Xiahai Airport.
After Xu Taiping handled Lin Xiaoqing's affairs, he only had less than an hour left before the flight he bought to Hong Kong City.
"Brother Xu, since you said you wanted to check the black materials of Li Jiangshan and Li Baolu's family last time, I have arranged for someone to check it. I have checked Li Baolu's history of making a fortune." Zhou Xiaoyu said while sitting next to Xu Taiping.
"What did you find out?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "When Li Baolu was in his twenties, he had worked with someone for long-distance transportation. He heard that he had also done smuggling business. Later, he was arrested. The one he had worked with was sentenced to several years in prison. However, Li Baolu took himself clean. Moreover, after that, Li Baolu seemed to have made a fortune and began to invest with a large amount of money. Relying on his tricky vision, almost all his investments made money. After that, Li Baolu had a prosperous journey and finally had his current family property."
"Oh? He is still in smuggling business?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Well, we visited the drivers who drove for Li Baolu in the past, and spent some time to ask about this from them." Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"Since his partner was arrested, why didn't he be arrested?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't know that. We tried to find his partner back then, but what do you think? His partner, who had disappeared from prison more than 20 years ago, disappeared completely, and there was no trace. What's more amazing is that the partner's family did not even look for that person, and that person seemed to not exist." Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did you think that person would go?"
"I don't know this." Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head and said.
"The partner's family may know something." Xu Taiping frowned and said, "Pry open their mouths."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded.
"By the way, do you know what the partner is named?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Call Sun Dongfu." Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"Oh." Xu Taiping nodded and said, "The matter of checking Li Baolu's black materials must continue, but the most important thing for us to do next is to cross the river."
"I understand!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "All actions are currently being carried out according to the plan."
"Um!"
The car headed all the way to the airport and arrived at the airport soon.
"Brother Xu, you have a good journey." Zhou Xiaoyu stood beside the car, bowed to Xu Taiping and shouted.
Xu Taiping smiled, pulled his suitcase into the airport, and then quickly passed the security check and arrived at the boarding gate.
Half an hour later, the plane to Hong Kong City took off from Xiahai City.
Xiahai City is actually very close to Hong Kong City, and it will take less than two hours to fly. Therefore, before dark, Xu Taiping arrived at the airport of Hong Kong City.
Because the geographical location of Hong Kong City is much closer to the south than Xiahai City, Hong Kong City in early September is very stuffy.
Xu Taiping walked out of the plane and a wave of heat swept over.
Although it was already evening, it was still unbearable.
Xu Taiping doesn’t like heat, because if the weather is hot, you will still be hot even if you take off all your clothes. If it’s a cold day, wear more clothes and warm it up.
Xu Taiping pulled his suitcase out of the Port City Airport. When the sun sets, the fiery red sunlight shines from the front, shining on his face, making his whole face burn.
"Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu!"
Two voices came from Xu Taiping's side.
Xu Taiping looked in the voice and saw Zhao Xiaohua and the director of the movie he was filming were standing not far from him, with a Mercedes-Benz RV parked behind them.
Xu Taiping walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Xu!" When the director saw Xu Taiping coming, he quickly took a few steps towards Xu Taiping, came to Xu Taiping, and held Xu Taiping's hand with a smile.
"Director, you came to pick me up specifically. I'm so flattered!" Xu Taiping smiled.
"This is, it should be!" the director said with a smile, "If you come to Hong Kong, I must come to pick you up!"
"Is the shooting going smoothly?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This is OK," said the director.
Xu Taiping could clearly feel that when the director said it was okay, his face stiffened slightly.
"It's okay? It's probably going to be finished in the next few days, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, but it should be delayed by a few more days, but it doesn't matter. It's all a trivial matter. Mr. Xu, we have already opened a hotel for you. Let's go there now?" asked the director.
"Let's go!" Xu Taiping nodded, then walked towards the RV.
Zhao Xiaohua quickly opened the door of the RV.
"Xiaohua, I haven't seen her for a while, and she has made great progress!" Xu Taiping smiled and sat in the car.
"That's right, the director and the seniors in the crew taught me a lot of things!" Zhao Xiaohua said with a smile. Then, after the director got in the car, Zhao Xiaohua got in the car with her.
The group took RVs to head to the center of Hong Kong City.
"Mr. Xu, I heard you were here to play this time?" asked the director.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded. He was actually here to participate in tomorrow's alliance, but he definitely couldn't tell the public about this.
"There are still very fun in Hong Kong. I think the food is the most enjoyable. There are many delicious foods here. Then we are close to Ao Market. You can go to Ao Market to gamble. The casino in Ao Market is still very good. There are everything in a casino, so you don't have to come out after entering." The director laughed.
"I'm quite interested in eating. I still have some friends in Hong Kong. When they look back, they can take me to eat the most authentic Hong Kong-style food." Xu Taiping smiled.
"Mr. Xu, are there any arrangements tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
"There are something going on tomorrow morning, and it will be fine later. What? Do you want to make an appointment with me?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"Then I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow." Zhao Xiaohua said.
"Do you invite me? I'll treat me alone?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Otherwise? Do you have to bring a few more people? Tonight our crew will host a banquet in the hotel where you stay. You can have a meal and drink with everyone in the evening. As for tomorrow, I must have invited you alone!" Zhao Xiaohua said.
"Have you not filmed tomorrow?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes." Zhao Xiaohua nodded, glanced at the director, and then said, "I shouldn't have to film these two days, right?"
"Yes." The director nodded, "If you don't start work these two days, you can have fun with Mr. Xu, take a walk in Hong Kong, eat some authentic food, and buy some good things from Hong Kong."
"I'm still thinking that you must be very busy these days. It seems that I was wrong. If I get free tomorrow at noon, I will call you again!" Xu Taiping said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Zhao Xiaohua nodded.
Half an hour later, the RV arrived downstairs of Victoria Hotel in Port City.
Almost all the crew members who had received the notification in advance came to the hotel entrance, including the male and female protagonists, supporting actors, as well as the assistant director and screenwriter.
Everyone gathered here, one of the friends of nature, that is, to welcome Xu Taiping's visit.
For the crew, Xu Taiping is definitely a character in heaven. He is not only a wholly-owned investor of this movie, but also a good friend to the producer. To everyone in the crew, such a character is completely in control of the power of life and death!
Xu Taiping got out of the car with the director. The crew gathered around and shouted Mr. Xu one by one, which made Xu Taiping's vanity satisfy unprecedentedly.
After a brief greeting at the door, Xu Taiping followed everyone into the hotel and then arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel.
In order to welcome Xu Taiping, the crew made sufficient preparations. Almost all crew members attended tonight's dinner. At the same time, some local celebrities from Hong Kong were also invited.
Xu Taiping guessed that tonight it should be the time for him to see the most celebrities at one time. These celebrities include first-tier big stars and second-tier small stars.
Although he has no direct relationship with these stars, almost all stars respect Xu Taiping very much.
Xu Taiping was a little surprised at first, but after hearing Zhao Xiaohua's explanation, she realized it.
"The entertainment industry is in a downturn now, and any investor or producer is the one that these stars want to curry favor with, even the first-line stars." Zhao Xiaohua explained to Xu Taiping in a low voice.
"As for the same sentence, whoever has money is the old man?" Xu Taiping said.
"Indeed!" Zhao Xiaohua nodded with a smile.
The dinner was very lively, especially when everyone deliberately curled up, Xu Taiping was in a good mood.
"Mr. Xu, let me introduce you to you. This is the vice president of the Hong Kong Film Association, Mr. Lin Zairong." The director brought a middle-aged man to Xu Taiping and introduced him very solemnly.
"Hello, Mr. Xu!" The middle-aged man named Lin Zairong smiled and stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping.
"Hello!" Xu Taiping smiled, shook hands with the other party, and then had a brief chat.
"Mr. Xu, President Lin is not only the vice president of the Filmmakers Association, but also the president of the Hong Kong Film Charity Foundation. President Lin has always been committed to letting more celebrities devote themselves to the welfare cause. The day after tomorrow, President Lin organized a fashion Saba party. The first-line stars in the entire Hong Kong and Macao region, as well as the first-line stars on our roads, will come. The theme of this party is to raise funds for the research and treatment of ALS. At that time, charity filming will be conducted at the party. President Lin just told me that he hopes that you can invite you to participate in this party." The director stood beside Xu Taiping and whispered.
"All the funds obtained from the charity auction will be used for research and treatment of ALS, and we will not take any penny away." Lin Zairong continued the director's words.
"Okay, this kind of activity is very meaningful, I will participate!" Xu Taiping said.
"It would be even better if Mr. Xu could take out some things for sale. Many of the things we sell for sale in charity are collected by many people." Lin Zairong said.
"That's it? OK, then tomorrow I'll send you something to you, you can take it and take it to take it!" Xu Taiping said.
"If this is the case, I will thank Mr. Xu!" Lin Zairong said with a smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
