Xiang Huaqiang was very respectful of Boss Jia. At the appointed time, a Rolls-Royce was parked in front of Boss Jia's hotel. He was there to pick up Boss Jia for the banquet.
Boss Jia didn't refuse and got into the car with him. On the other hand, the general manager of Daqian Entertainment was trembling in fear when he found out that they were going to meet Xiang Huaqiang.
"Hey, what's going on outside? Why are there people everywhere? " Halfway through the journey, Jia Yapeng realized that there was a huge crowd outside the car window. They were holding signs in their hands, as if they were protesting something indescribable.
"They're all here to protest the high property prices!" Xiang Huaqiang's driver said faintly. "In just one year, property prices in Hong Kong have increased by 17%. Many people are living in pigeon cages and can't afford to buy a house. So they're protesting in hopes that the government can find a way to lower property prices."
"But these people don't know that the more they make a fuss, the more property prices will rise. What a bunch of idiots!"
"That's insightful!" Boss Jia nodded.
Indeed, these young people holding signs didn't understand one thing at all. The more they made a fuss over property prices, the higher property prices would rise.
This meant that there were a lot of young people who needed to buy houses. The supply and demand of houses were still tight, so property prices would naturally soar.
It was like in the future, the more some people made a fuss on the streets, the more people understood that Hong Kong was actually a place full of freedom. Otherwise, the iron fist of the government would teach these poisonous people a lesson.
Although the streets were congested and people were coming and going, Xiang Huaqiang's magic seemed to be magical.
However, Xiang Huaqiang's Rolls-Royce seemed to have a magical power. Anyone who saw this car would instinctively shrink back a few steps in fear, making a path for the Rolls-Royce to drive smoothly on the road. Finally, it arrived at the door of a mansion. Xiang Huaqiang, the big boss, was already waiting for him there.
As soon as Jia Yapeng got out of the car, Xiang Huaqiang walked over enthusiastically and opened his arms to Jia Yapeng. "Mr. Jia, I didn't expect you to come. My humble place is really honored by your presence. Hahaha!"
Boss Jia naturally wouldn't let him down. The two strangers met for the first time, but they gave each other a big hug. Then, with Xiang Huaqiang's help, they walked into the house. Xiang Huaqiang said as they walked, "I've long heard that Mr. Jia is already a rich business genius at such a young age. I didn't expect to find out that Mr. Jia is actually so young!"
"Actually, when Mr. Jia came over two days ago, I had already wanted to meet you. However, I was in Wanwan at that time and had many chores to attend to. I really couldn't find the time to meet you."
"As soon as I got home, I invited Mr. Jia to be my guest!" Xiang Huaqiang said as he walked. Boss Jia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiang Huaqiang's enthusiastic attitude. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little better about Xiang Huaqiang.
However, Boss Jia was even more curious. What did he do to offend this big boss behind the scenes in Hong Kong's entertainment circle? Why did he slap him first and then welcome him so enthusiastically?
When Boss Jia arrived at Xiang Huaqiang's house, he saw Xiang Huaqiang's wife, Chen Lan. She also welcomed Jia Yapeng enthusiastically.
Although Xiang Tai looked fat and ugly in the photos 30 years later, she was known as the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong when she was young. Otherwise, Xiang Huaqiang wouldn't have taken a fancy to her and married her.
Xiang Tai was still stunningly beautiful now. However, more than ten years later, Xiang Tai got a tumor and her body became swollen. Then, her appearance gradually changed.
However, Xiang Huaqiang still loved his wife very much and treated her with respect … at least in everyone's eyes.
Even if there were problems between a couple, it was already a great thing that they could treat each other with respect in front of outsiders.
At this time, Xiang Huaqiang had already prepared a table of extremely sumptuous dishes. There were only four chairs, but there were twenty-four dishes. At the banquet, there was absolutely nothing to say. He was extremely enthusiastic.
Both sides sat down, and Xiang Huaqiang took the initiative to open a cup of '68 Lafite.
Well, for 1993, '82 Lafite was actually not very expensive. A bottle could be bought for a few hundred Hong Kong dollars. The '68 Lafite was the most expensive and had the best taste. At the same time, it was suitable for the era and was the best for showing off.
Xiang Huaqiang then personally toasted Jia Yapeng. He even poured a glass of wine for the general manager who came with Jia Yapeng. The general manager was flattered.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually warmed up. Jia Yapeng estimated that the atmosphere was almost there, so he said with a smile, "Mr. Xiang, you're so enthusiastic today. This little guy is a bit flattered. Mr. Xiang, you're a senior. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I'm all ears! "
"Mr. Jia, don't call me a senior. In our line of work, first comes first. Whoever has the best ability is a senior and deserves respect!"
"I'm 45 years old this year. After fighting in this world for so long, I thought I was good at something. I didn't expect that compared to Mr. Jia, I'm nothing. All the money I've earned in 25 years is not as much as Mr. Jia's in three years! "
"No, it's not even a fraction of that. So, Mr. Jia, you're my senior. I absolutely respect you from the bottom of my heart and want to make friends with you. I just don't know if Mr. Jia will take a fancy to my identity as a certain someone!" After Xiang Huaqiang finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Yapeng from the corner of his eyes, secretly watching Jia Yapeng's reaction.
At this time, Jia Yapeng just looked at Xiang Huaqiang with a smile on his face. Then he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Mr. Xiang, I've always been the most loyal person. If others respect me, I'll return the favor tenfold. Mr. Xiang … No, I, Jia Yapeng, will take the liberty to call you Big Brother Xiang today. As long as you don't mind, you're not only my friend, but also my brother! "
"Okay!" Xiang Huaqiang was overjoyed. He grabbed Jia Yapeng's hand and said, "Okay, Brother Jia, I'll recognize you as my brother today. Good brother!"
Xiang Huaqiang patted the back of Jia Yapeng's hand excitedly. Jia Yapeng's hand was slapped so hard that it was swollen.
"Brother, since you call me Big Brother, I have to apologize to you. The movie you were saving was ruined by me. I'm sorry!" Xiang Huaqiang said with a guilty face.
"It's really him!" Jia Yapeng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Xiang Huaqiang to admit it before he even asked.
"It's okay. I just don't know how I offended Big Brother Xiang. If I did something wrong, I'll apologize to you now!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
"No! No! It's my subordinates who were insensible. They didn't know Brother Jia's identity, so they did such a shameful thing! " Xiang Huaqiang clapped his hands. Eight men in black walked in front of Xiang Huaqiang, leading four people who were as scared as chickens.
"Kneel down!" The men in black shouted, and the four people immediately knelt down.
"This is …"
"This is a manager of my China Star, and three of his subordinates!" Xiang Huaqiang snorted coldly and said, "Although I said I wanted to invite Master Xing to film this movie, I didn't tell them that I wanted Master Xing to quit the movie that he had already signed the contract and set the schedule for."
"In the end, these four guys took matters into their own hands and forced Master Xing to quit your movie. I, Xiang Huaqiang, am still in the wrong for this matter. Anyway, these four people are kneeling in front of you. You can do whatever you want. Just leave them alive! "Xiang Huaqiang said faintly.
