Chapter 153 The Joys of Wealth and Power
Hong Kong, New Territories.

Fanling Golf Course.

In Hong Kong where every inch of land is valuable, it is indeed very rare to have a golf course covering an area of ​​50 hectares.

Rarity also means expensive. Fanling Golf Course is operated as a club with a strict membership system, and ordinary people cannot enter.

Not only can you play golf here, but you can also eat, rest and entertain.

Many wealthy people in Hong Kong choose to come here to relax or discuss business.

Liu Zhou had been in Hong Kong for nearly two weeks. He had been keeping an eye on Golden Harvest's stocks, when one day he suddenly received an invitation from a big boss.

I thought he knew I was in Hong Kong and wanted to treat me to dinner, but I didn't expect that he took me to Fanling Golf Club.

Liu Zhou had played this so-called elegant sport several times in his previous life.

I haven’t played it since I was reborn, but some of the basics are still there.

This is not something Liu Zhou cares about. He is not worried at all about making a fool of himself. Playing basketball requires you to do whatever you want and do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Of course this is when you are in a dominant position.

Liu Zhou and the boss have a cooperative relationship, and it's hard to say who is begging whom.

But this time the boss made quite a fuss. Not only did he invite me to play golf here, but there were also various delicacies and entertainment programs, and of course, various beauties accompanying me.

Liu Zhou could easily guess that he wanted a favor from him.

Having just returned from a game of ball, Liu Zhou and he were drinking tea leisurely in the rest area.

"You guys really know how to spend money. If you stay here for two more days, I'm afraid you'll be too busy to leave."

"Haha, if Mr. Liu wants to have fun, he can stay here for a few more days. Besides, what are we working so hard to make money for? Isn't it just to enjoy life?"

"What Mr. Yang said makes sense. It seems that I still need to learn more from Mr. Yang in this regard."

"Haha, you should have been like this a long time ago. When I met you, Mr. Liu, I felt that although you are young, you are too serious. You don't look like a rich young man at all."

After the two chatted for a while, the boss got to the point and said:

"Boss Liu, can't you give us a piece of the big project you're working on this time?"

“Boss Yang, there’s really nothing we can do this time. I’ve already told you before, and you should also know that the other four investors are not small players, and it’s impossible to kick any of them off the ship.

And even if I agree to join, the other companies won’t allow it.”

I don’t know if the boss doesn’t care about this at all. After he mentioned it and was rejected, he never mentioned the topic again.

"Well, then I've completely given up. Next time Mr. Liu has a good project, don't forget us."

"Of course, no problem. In fact, the Red Cliff project was mentioned unintentionally by everyone at the time. Later, we thought it was worth doing, so we worked together."

The boss took a sip of tea and continued:

"Mr. Liu, I asked you to come here this time because I want to ask for your help on something."

"Oh, what is it that has stumped Mr. Yang?"

The boss seemed a little embarrassed when he said this, then he sighed and said:

"Alas, it's all because of Afeng's matter."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Yang is talking about Xie Tingfeng?"

"Who else could it be but him? Didn't he do something stupid when he was filming in the mainland not long ago? Now it's causing quite a stir, so I'd like to ask you to help me out."

"Boss Yang, you're not talking about him and Zhang Weijian beating someone up, are you?"

"That's right, Afeng is not a bad kid by nature, but he has been spoiled by his father since he was a child, so he acts impulsively and without consideration.

But the impact of this incident has not been eliminated, so I would like to ask Mr. Liu to help speak up."

"Boss Yang, I won't beat around the bush. I can't help you with this!"

Not to mention that Liu Zhou can't help, even if he can help, he won't help!
And the fact that he didn't follow suit was because of his boss's consideration.

I heard that the fuse of this incident was because of a makeup artist in Hong Kong.

According to Xiao Bailong, two days before he was beaten, he sat on a chair and was reminded that he could not sit on the chair because it belonged to a Hong Kong makeup artist.

Xiao Bailong was quite indignant about this and started arguing with the man. As the chair was made of plastic, it was accidentally broken, and a quarrel ensued.

Later, the Hong Kong makeup artist came and started to take action, but was finally pulled apart by others.

This makeup artist had some connections and was able to talk to the two men. In the end, the two men, probably used to being arrogant, beat up Xiao Bailong under the pretext of filming a movie.

Xiao Bailong is not a person who would swallow his anger. Besides, as a senior, he would not let it go if he was openly bullied by two young people like this.

Not only did he reveal the matter to the media in public, he also filed a lawsuit and brought the two people to court.

At the beginning, people in the Hong Kong circle did not take Xiao Bailong's lawsuit seriously, and even issued a press release to spread rumors that Xiao Bailong had molested female staff members in the drama crew, which led to their action.

But later, as more and more people in the mainland spoke out about the matter, they and the companies behind them finally came to their senses.

The result of the penalty may have little impact on the two people, but the subsequent impact will be huge.

When Boss Yang said just now that he wanted to ban these two people, he was not joking!
After this, Zhang Weijian, who was once very popular in mainland China, was banned. He never filmed a movie in mainland China again, never received any notice, and all his endorsements were removed from the shelves.

Xie Tingfeng's situation was much better. Not only was he not affected, but after a while, he also got the leading role in Chen Shishi's blockbuster "The Promise".

Don’t think that the reputation of "The Promise" was terrible in later generations, but at that time the competition for roles in this movie was very fierce.

People's expectations for this movie will be no less than "Hero", and poet Chen has frequently appeared in front of the media, full of confidence.

Newcomer Liu Yan accidentally asked a wrong question and was scolded by poet Chen until she cried. She was even scared to the point of wanting to change her career.

At that time, "The Promise" was the most anticipated film in both Mainland China and Hong Kong.

It is no wonder that so many Hong Kong artists in later generations have such high respect for the boss. He really does help when something happens.

"Mr. Liu, I understand your difficulties. You don't need to do too much. Just say a few words."

"Boss Yang, it seems that you still don't understand the essence of this matter. SM will not comment on this matter, but the industry will spontaneously ban them.

These two people have incurred public anger!"

"Then there is really no other way?"

Seeing the boss like this, Liu Zhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's not because of him, but because of the mainland entertainment industry. If they are really that tough, they will ban Xie Tingfeng as well!

Finally, the problem was solved after they smoothed it out.

The reason why the boss is so anxious now is because he is too concerned.

After a while he will find that the situation is not as serious as he thought.

But there is no way, any circle is a place about relationships and interests.

"I have no other options, and even if I had a way, I wouldn't be able to do it. Boss Yang, I'm telling you the truth, these two really went too far this time.

I can't stand it either, and since people from Hong Kong come to the mainland to work and eat, they should restrain themselves.

Otherwise, there will be more conflicts like this, and then these people may not have food to eat.”

The boss also understood Liu Zhou's attitude at this time, and said with a wry smile:

"A Feng has had it too easy. He should be taught a lesson."

Liu Zhou didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. The good impression Xie Tingfeng left on him in "The Swordsman" had long disappeared.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, when will Cheng Long's New Police Story be released?"

"The day after tomorrow, September 24th, haven't the relevant documents and invitation letter been sent to your company?"

"I came to Hong Kong very early, so I might have missed it."

"Mr. Liu, have you been in Hong Kong for a long time? Are you in Hong Kong for business? I thought you came here specifically to attend the premiere of New Police Story."

"I have some things to deal with in Hong Kong. You know, I have an investment company in Hong Kong, and I need to deal with some stock issues."

The boss knows that Liu Zhou is the boss of Zhoushan Capital.

Zhoushan Capital is also an important factor why Liu Zhou is so valued by him.

Hong Kong people attach great importance to wealth and there are clear levels of distinction.

Because Liu Zhou owns Zhoushan Capital, his wealth is not lower than that of the big boss and has even surpassed him now.

If Liu Zhou didn't have this wealth, the boss might be equally enthusiastic towards him because he made a lot of money making movies, but they would never treat him as an equal.

"I see, Mr. Liu, next time there is a good investment opportunity, take me with you."

"Haha, I was lucky last time, but there are still many opportunities on the Internet now. It depends on whether Mr. Yang has the courage."

"Then I'll go back and study it carefully later."

Liu Zhou did not comment on his words. The boss was a relatively traditional businessman and had an instinctive wariness and rejection of emerging things like the Internet.

Just like the stock god Buffett, he insisted on not touching the Internet industry, but in the end he still slapped himself in the face.

The boss seemed to be unaffected by Liu Zhou's rejection just now, and his attitude towards him remained enthusiastic.

He even jokingly suggested that Zhou Shan Studio could reach a strategic cooperation with entertainment and share what they have.

To be honest, if a cooperation is really reached at this time, Liu Zhou will still gain the advantage.

The size is much larger than Liu Zhou’s studio.

At the same time, he has confidence in his own company and has his own plans, and does not want to be bound by temporary benefits.

After taking a shower and eating in the evening, Boss Yang said mysteriously:
"Mr. Liu, my friend Cui Lede is going home tonight, so you can have fun here.

It's rare for me to see you interested in two beauties today. Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Here's the room card, haha!"

After saying that, the boss left, leaving Liu Zhou with a confused look on his face.

When did I become interested in these two beauties?

How come I don’t know?
However, as a man, Liu Zhou still picked up the room card and walked into the room.

When I opened the door, I saw two somewhat timid young women sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite.

Liu Zhou took a closer look and realized that they were these two people.

They were Wen Yongshan and Yang Baobei, two of the beauties invited by the boss to play ball with him.

At that time, Liu Zhou felt that they looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

But she didn't expect that Boss Yang would think that she was interested in them and actually sent them directly to his room.

Liu Zhou didn't know whether to let them go or not.

But Liu Zhou felt that their efforts to make progress should not be interrupted.

"Are you all artists?" Liu Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"Not really. We are models under a modeling agency that we invested in."

"You are often arranged to play golf with others?"

"No, no, this is our first time here!"

After a brief chat, Liu Zhou could probably tell that they were not lying, unless their acting skills were so good that they fooled him.

At this time, Liu Zhou turned to Wen Yongshan, who had been reserved and silent, and said:

"Go and run the water for me. I want to take a bath later!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

After saying that, she quickly ran into the bathroom.

Finally, only Liu Zhou and Yang Ying were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Liu Zhou walked to the sofa and sat down, then asked her to come over.

Seeing the still very young Yang Baobei standing in front of him, he didn't look as pretty as he will be later, and his hairstyle was a bit non-mainstream, but he looked very young.

Liu Zhou didn't say anything and patted her shoulder.

She immediately understood, squatted down and then knelt on the ground.

Liu Zhou ignored her actions and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
