I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 725 Old place old friend and hometown.

In 1991, Hong Tianyi graduated from the Police Academy, won the Silver Flute Award, and joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the General Administration. In 1997, he was promoted to Chief Inspector and transferred to the West Kowloon Police Station. In 2005, he was appointed as the Director of the West Kowloon Police Station. In 2019, he was appointed as the Police Force Operation Deputy Director.

During the 19-year incident, he insisted on a tough policy and safeguarded Hong Kong's law and order. In the same year, he was promoted to the commissioner of police. During his [-]-year career in the police force, he has experienced military exploits and is known as the first brother of the Hawk Faction.

……

end of this month.

Wen Qiren was promoted to Chief Superintendent. At the age of 32, he was the youngest Chief Superintendent of the General Administration. The next step will be the rank of Director.

Hutchison Building.

Zhang Guobin put a copy of the video on the table and said aloud, "Ah Qiang, when "Young and Dangerous" needs fighting scenes, you can edit this copy."

Liu Weiqiang was wearing a suit, picked up the tape, and looked puzzled: "Boss, the filming of the scene has been finished and it is being edited."

"do not worry."

The corner of Zhang Guobin's mouth raised a smile: "I won't intentionally intervene in your creation, I just think you can use these pictures."

"Where did you get the picture?"

Liu Weiqiang asked.

"You'll know when you go back and have a look." Zhang Guobin didn't say anything.

night.

In the editing hall of the studio, Liu Weiqiang inserted the video tape into the player, and saw the chaotic battle of thousands of people appearing on the screen, the scene was fierce, and his eyes widened.

"This is, this is the scene of blood on Queen's Road!"

This scene was directly filmed by the police in the newspaper. Unexpectedly, the video tape would actually fall into his hands. If the scene was cut into it, and a few flashbacks and contrasts were made, the quality of the entire movie would be greatly improved. Cut, without it, the authenticity of the blood of a thousand people cannot be performed by the actors.

Director Liu Da stayed up all night in the studio and successfully edited the clips into the movie.

On December 3100th, "Young and Dangerous" was released on Christmas, and won [-] million box office during the Christmas period. The movie became popular in East Asia and became the most influential gang movie in Chinese film history. A very cool thing in the eyes of youngsters.

But Zhang Guobin was not fascinated by money. At the end of the movie, it clearly states the number of deaths due to violations of crimes every year, and warns students not to mess around.

At the same time, the major clubs also shut out the youngsters who want to be in the world and pretend to be cool. It's not because the clubs are out of kindness, but Xiangjiang doesn't have the same environment as it used to.

It is too late for the major associations to do their jobs properly, and the manpower for the sidelines has been overstaffed early, and those who are capable of layoffs have been laid off early. Who would accept such a young and Dangerous boy to get started?There is no place to use it, and not being able to make money is a trivial matter. If there is trouble, the big boss has to pay for the first drink, and no one wants negative equity.

The fad is over, the students are getting older, and they have a deeper understanding of the world, and gradually no one yearns for the world anymore. Is it because the air-conditioning in Central is not cold enough, or the pretty girls in Mong Kok are not beautiful enough. If you have a good life, who likes to mess around? .

Facts have proved that it will never be a certain film and television work, novel or comic that affects an era.

It is the economic and cultural environment of the society.

……

"Mr. Zhang, do you really want to invest in my comic company?" Niu Lao sat in the office of Haoyi Culture Company, with a cigarette in his hand, and the ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts, looking at the big boss in front of him, Unbelievable: "How much money do you plan to invest?"

"It's not investing in your comic company, it's investing in you." Zhang Guobin raised his legs, held a cigar in his right hand, and corrected: "The equity of Haoyi Culture is too complicated. Chen Kelin, Wen Jianhong, Qiu Ruixin, Lun The four shareholders of Yuguo will only divide money, not make money."

"I can give you three million Hong Kong dollars, let you set up a company alone, and be your own boss, how about it?"

Niu Lao was surprised: "Three million?"

He has been working for his master for the first half of his life, drawing a cartoon for tens of Hong Kong dollars, and the income of a cartoon from beginning to end is less than [-].

A manga has been created for more than a year, and the average income is still good, well-off, but there is no chance to make a lot of money.

Established Haoyi Culture with four shareholders and worked alone. I thought I could earn more, but found that there was a contradiction in the cooperation between the shares.

This is also the root cause of Haoyi Culture's rapid closure in history.

Three million is a lot of money to him.

Zhang Guobin raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud, "Not enough?"

"That's right, if you buy a sports car, you'll be gone. How can an ambitious person be satisfied? But the first investment can only be three million, and the subsequent publishing house will grow."

"I can continue to pursue investment, I hope you can let me pay more money."

Niu Lao swallowed his saliva and asked, "What are the terms of the contract?"

Zhang Guobin flicked the cigarette ash with a smile, and said slowly: "I want a three-thirds dividend from the publishing house, including the right to adapt all comics, films and animations."

"As for sales royalties, [-]% belong to you."

In the late 80s, the main income of comics was royalties. There were film and television adaptations in the 90s, and animation adaptations were not until the 00s.

However, Zhang Guobin owns DreamWorks and Oriental Digital Realm, and they already have the production level of movies and comics.

Compared to movie box office, animation ratings, and royalties can be said to be petty profits, giving up [-]% in exchange for all adaptation rights is a very cost-effective deal.

Niu Lao was a little moved.

"Isn't the contract a bit harsh for all comics, film and television adaptations and animation adaptations?" He said, "Can we establish a VAM agreement?"

"If the sales volume of comics reaches a certain amount, I will have the right to adapt the film and television and animation adaptation to me."

According to Zhang Guobin's vision, he is not the boss of the company, but a senior manager.

Niu Lao is also the first author in Xiangjiang to promote the adaptation of comics and movies, and the author with the highest rate of adaptations. He has long seen the prospects of the adaptation market.

Zhang Guobin smiled: "I am not negotiating conditions with you, and you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me. I came to you for a job, and you have no reason to refuse."

"Bet me, you are not qualified."

Niu Lao looked embarrassed: "I just hope that the terms of the new company will be relaxed, so that more cartoonists can be attracted, and it will be good for the new company."

"understand."

Zhang Guobin swept his suit trouser legs: "In this way, I will give you the right to adapt the comics of "Young and Dangerous". You can adapt the movie into comics and create independently."

"With the current box office and influence of "Young and Dangerous", I believe your comics will sell well."

In the 80s, like novels, comics were mostly serialized in newspapers, and only famous ones were bound and published, and few readers actually bought them.

Many students don't have enough money, and their part-time jobs are also budget-conscious. They rent a few novels, comics, and CDs together at the bookstore.

Niu Lao's eyes lit up: "Young and Dangerous?"

half a month later.

Peace Publishing House was formally established, and Niu Lao served as the president. The first work was "Young and Dangerous", published every three days, with a huge amount of updates.

Relying on the influence of the movie version and the update speed of every three days, it soon became popular in Hong Kong and became the comic publication with the highest sales.

At the end of the year.

Guangdong Province.

Guangzhou City, Yuexiu District, No. 305, Dongfeng Middle Road.

A Mercedes and two Toyotas slowly came to the gate of the compound. Beside the gray stone pillar, a gate sentry took the ID and stood at attention to salute Liu Wenyan inside the window.

Liu Wenyan took back the documents, nodded in acknowledgment, and closed the car window. The big iron door was opened manually, and the motorcade stopped at the bottom of the office building smoothly.

Li Chenghao pushed the car door, walked around the front of the car, opened the door and said, "Brother Bin."

Zhang Guobin took the lead to get out of the car, followed by Liu Wenyan. An enthusiastic old leader led a group of people and took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Zhang, hahaha."

"welcome!"

Liu Wenyan raised his hand and introduced: "Mr. Zhang, this is Squad Leader Li, this is Deputy Squad Leader Chen, Zhang Shu..."

Zhang Guobin shook hands with the young and promising elder brothers one by one. Several of them had seen their photos in the Provincial History Museum when he was working part-time in his previous life.

They are all bosses!

At that time, there was only looking up and admiring, but now they are swimming with each other, standing shoulder to shoulder. The taste of life encounters is quite wonderful.

You know, Mr. Cai went directly to Beijing for a meeting, but Mr. Zhang chose to go back to Guangdong to find his ancestors, and he was downgraded to visit. The big brothers in Guangdong Province must treat him well.

Zhang Guobin took a tour of the office building. He had been here a few times before and was familiar with the general situation. However, he mainly worked in the new building.

At that time, the compound on Dongfeng Middle Road was also known as the most low-key compound in the country. There were two large concrete pillars and an iron gate at the entrance, which was indeed inferior to the magnificent and magnificent office buildings of later generations.

In the future, a county-level building will be more prestigious than the current Guangdong Courtyard.

"This is the Provincial History Museum, which records the development history of the people of Guangdong Province, from the first freight bus station, to the first customs clearance port, to the

Open up an experimental field..." The old squad leader led the way and gave an introduction.

Zhang Guobin nodded while watching: "Well, I'm familiar with this."

"Ok?"

Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "I like reading history more, and I love learning about my hometown."

"Hahaha, reading history makes a person wise. Mr. Zhang is a smart man."

It's a pity that the History Museum lacks [-] years of history compared to the past, but there are some more knowledge, such as the establishment of Yihai Logistics and the development of Longgang Logistics Park.

Then Zhang Guobin took a group photo with everyone, and the half-length photos of his visit to Guangdong were hung on the historical corridor of the Provincial History Museum, the years of 1989.

He is recorded in history.

At noon, everyone ate together in the cafeteria of the compound. There was no small stove, and everyone ate in the hall.

Zhang Guobin picked up the dinner plate, put it in the return place, and accompanied Liu Ban to preach, "I'll smoke a cigarette and take a stroll."

"it is good."

Liu Wenyan agreed softly.

Zhang Guobin stepped on leather shoes, facing the breeze, strolled along a path, came to a ginkgo tree in the backyard, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, and looked up at the ginkgo tree with yellow leaves.

"See you again."

He reached out and touched it.

Li Chenghao took a few bodyguards with their hands behind their backs and spread out in all directions.

The squad leader stepped on fallen leaves and appeared beside him, with a cigarette in his hand, and exhaled: "Mr. Zhang, how do you know there are ginkgoes in the backyard?"

"I didn't know there were ginkgo trees, but I knew there were scenery." Zhang Guobin turned around and smiled.

The eldest brother nodded: "What are you thinking, do you need help?"

Zhang Guobin pointed out something: "I am thinking about an old man, if I don't think about it too much, I will forget him."

"Shen Xin?"

asked the elder brother.

"That's right." Zhang Guobin complied, although it wasn't, but he didn't deny it.

The eldest brother said: "Oh, what a pity for him."

"However, it's a good thing he didn't get married and had children, otherwise there would be more people involved. Man, since he chooses to be a hero, it's best to be alone."

……

the next day.

Accompanied by Liu Wenyan, Zhang Guobin came to the Zhang's Ancestral Hall in Shunde, Foshan. One kilometer before the motorcade arrived, there was a grand ceremony of dancing dragons and lions and wandering the gods.

Li Chenghao couldn't help but be amazed while driving the car: "Boss, what a classy school, it's not a loss to recognize more ancestors!"

Zhang Guobin didn't expect that he could really find a Zhang's ancestral hall in Foshan by making up a random excuse.

"Fuck your mother, did your ancestors recognize you casually?" There are too many people with the surname Zhang in the world, even if he was really from Foshan in his previous life, he may not necessarily be a descendant of the Zhang family in Shunde.

There is a [-]% chance that it won't work either!

You can't go wrong with this kind of thing!
The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall, crackling firecrackers exploded, and two strings of ten thousand cannons roared on both sides of the gate. Someone held an umbrella, stepped forward to open the car door, and bent down to invite: "Mr. Zhang, I am Shunde Zhang. Zhang Dawei of the clan."

"Hello."

Zhang Guobin bent down to get out of the car and waited to block the flying cannon with his umbrella. A group of people stepped into the ancestral hall. A dozen trembling ancestors sat on a row of wooden chairs and stood up to welcome them.

A group of pillars of the family in their fifties were in charge of welcoming and sending them off in the courtyard. Seven banquets were lined up in the hall on the left, and portraits of ancestors were enshrined in the main hall.

The patriarch has already moved out the family tree.

Zhang Guobin took a cup of tea, took a sip, and saw Liu Wenyan chatting with a middle-aged man, with a familiar face standing beside him.

Seeing Zhang Sheng enter the ancestral hall, Liu Wenyan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Zhang Sheng, how is it? Is the ceremony majestic enough?"

Zhang Guobin looked embarrassed, and said: "Lao Liu, why are you making such a big noise? What if you find the wrong place? Why is Zhang Shu here?"

The old willow thief said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhang Sheng, I have already talked with the patriarch. Your branch fled to Hong Kong Island after the 28-year war. You are the only seedling. In the future, your house will be your own. Calculate."

"Looking for the ancestors and returning to the clan. The big boss picks the big clan. It doesn't matter if you are or not. You have to have the same surname." He whispered in his ear: "There are thirteen families with long surnames here in Foshan. The Zhang family in Shunde is the strongest, and so is Zhang Shu." Members of the Zhang family, in the future you will be a strong match, which will be of great benefit to Yihai's business in Guangdong Province."

No one cares about the poor living in the busy city, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, the poor are not treated politely if they have clans, and the rich are often attached to them if they have no home. Another drawback of the clan power in Guangdong Province is the same name and profit. Clans, female athletes who cannot be listed on the genealogy, winning the championship will be the pride of the most popular clan immediately. There are too many such things.

Zhang Guobin smiled immediately: "Arrange it, I will personally offer incense in the ancestral hall later."

"No problem!" Liu Wenyan embraced everything.

I thought that if I came to Foshan to deny my ancestors, I would have to donate a sum of money, but I didn't expect that not only did I not need to spend money, but I also had a free backer.

Recognize the real fragrance of the clan, anyway, the ancestors are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, for the development of the brothers, what is a stick of incense?
