The film and television city starts from the courtyard

After Zhao Shucheng woke up, he found that the place where he was was full of traffic, but the buildings on the roadside were those of the Magic City in the 1990s, and the pedestrians on the road were dressed in the style of the 1990s.

Zhao Shucheng listened to the people coming and going talking. They mentioned Mr. Bao. They said that at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, when people started counting down, Mr. Bao came out of the hotel carrying cash, but was hit by a taxi running on. The money in the box was scattered all over the ground, and the vehicle turned around and fled.

Mr. Bao was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but the perpetrator was never found. It is also unknown whether Mr. Bao was retaliated against or murdered because of a personal emotional dispute.

When Zhao Shucheng heard their conversation, he already knew that he was in the Magic City of the 1990s, and the plot was very familiar, as if it was from the recently released TV series "Fang Hua".

However, Zhao Shucheng did not watch it carefully. He just knew that this drama existed and took a quick glance at it, but he was not very familiar with the specific plot.

Zhao Shucheng didn't worry too much. With his life experience in so many worlds, he could easily deal with it as long as it was not the future world.

However, Zhao Shucheng actually has some complaints about this plot. The story of "Flowers" is about the year 1992, when the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew across China.

The Yellow River Road Food Festival in Shanghai is crowded with merchants and is open all night long. The most popular one is the businessman Mr. Bao. He and Li Li, the proprietress of Zhizhen Garden, went from having conflicts to joining forces to do business in clothing, machinery, and finance. Their businesses are getting bigger and bigger, and almost every business is a big deal that makes a sensation in Shanghai.

A Bao and Li Li also developed feelings for each other during their cooperation. On the other hand, Lingzi, the proprietress of the Jinxian Road restaurant, and Miss Wang from the foreign trade company, who have been supporting and helping Bao for many years, also have feelings for Bao. The three golden flowers are beautiful in their own way.

Where will Mr. Bao end up? When the real estate market was booming and unprecedented opportunities were in front of him, Mr. Bao was told that Li Li might cheat him of his money. Mr. Bao hesitated whether to trust Li Li. In the end, Mr. Bao still believed that whether it was between men and women or in the business world, the most basic creed was trust. Soldiers should be invested with feelings, not gold and jade, but honesty, so that they can last long.

Although Zhao Shucheng didn't watch the whole series, he remembered reading an article about this drama. Lingzi finally left Night Tokyo and went to Hong Kong to open a shop. Bao Zong went to Hong Kong but couldn't find her. After Li Li sold Zhizhen Garden at a high price to help someone pay off his debts, he took the initiative to surrender and chose to become a monk after being released from prison.

Only Miss Wang finally succeeded in her business, and her company flourished. She became the Miss Wang she once was, full of vigor and vitality, and looked for Mr. Bao everywhere.

Zhao Shucheng walked along Huanghe Road in 1991. It was indeed as described in the introduction, with many big hotels. Although this was not the most expensive hotel in Shanghai, it was definitely one of the most lively hotel gathering places.

Huanghe Road is only 700 meters long, but it has more than 100 restaurants of all sizes. As the locals say, Huanghe Road is permanent, but the proprietresses are ever-changing.

There are not only small restaurants on Huanghe Road, but also several large restaurants. People who come to Huanghe Road restaurants not only come here to taste delicious food, but more to do business. This leads to a huge flow of people on Huanghe Road, and they are all businessmen with some wealth.

Zhao Shucheng recalled his identity. He didn't have any special identity. He was just a man who came to Shanghai to make a fortune. He had only 10,000 yuan on him and was currently trying to find a place to live.

Following the address given by the middleman, Zhao Shucheng came to a three-story building. After negotiating the price with the landlord, he prepared to rent it.

The landlord saw that Zhao Shucheng was from another place, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhao, my house faces south, it's not damp at all, the house is spacious, and you can cook outside. It's not expensive a month, only fifty yuan, I see that you look honest and kind, so monthly payment is fine. But you came to Shanghai alone to work hard, it's really..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Mr. Landlord, is there any problem?"

"It's not that easy to get by in Shanghai. I tell you, capable people can get by anywhere. As for you, although you are tall and strong, you have plunged into the foreign land. You can't even get by in your hometown. You are not familiar with the place here, so it's even worse."

"Mr. Landlord, do you think so little of me?"

The landlord smiled and said, "It's not a question of whether you think it's good or not. Whether it can work depends on how you do it. I used to know a man named A Bao, and people now call him Mr. Bao."

"But do you know what Mr. Bao did before? He was a watch repairman in a watch shop. Later, he became rich by speculating in stocks. Later, he engaged in foreign trade and speculated in stocks. He made a lot of money."

"Not far away, his friend Lingzi rented a shop and opened a store. Mr. Bao helped to rent the shop and decorate it. He also gave her 50% of the shares. All the profits belong to Lingzi, and all the losses belong to Mr. Bao. In this way, Bao is finally a big boss, right?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course!"

"But even if he is a local boss, so what? On New Year's Eve, he was hit by a car, and the mastermind has not been found until now. What good can an outsider like you get by coming here?"

Zhao Shucheng didn't care about what the landlord said. Instead, he felt that Mr. Bao looked like someone he was very familiar with, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

However, when the landlord left and Zhao Shucheng was lying on the bed alone, he suddenly sat up. He remembered who Bao was always thinking about. Wasn't it the excited Lu brothers?

Thinking back to when I was in the world of home cooking, I had been with Wenquan when I came to Shanghai with He Wenyuan to work hard. At that time, brothers Lu Jiangtao and Lu Haibo also had intersections with him, but Zhao Shucheng didn't pay much attention to them at the time. Now I think that Mr. Bao is really similar to them. Maybe this is a different story adapted by the same person.

For example, Miss Wang, played by Bao Zong, is like Lin Xia played by Lu Jiangtao. They are both people who helped them start their careers, but they also parted ways in the end. Another example is Li Li in Fan Hua, who met Bao Zong when they were still humble and grew up together.

Wenquan in Jidong also grew up with Lu Jiangtao and Lu Haibo. In fact, Lu Haibo was the apprentice of Wenquan's father, and wanted to make him his son-in-law.

However, Zhao Shucheng knew that this was just a different world after all, so he could not follow the exciting plot and could only take one step at a time.

After tidying up the room, Zhao Shucheng came to Huanghe Road and found a restaurant. He planned to have a meal first, then get to know the situation here, and then decide what business to do.

While Zhao Shucheng was eating, he saw a man with gray hair. He looked anxious and saw a woman. He shouted excitedly: "Miss Wang, you are finally here. Please sit down, please sit down."

"What's the matter?" Miss Wang asked curiously as she sat down.

Zhao Shucheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Miss Wang. Sure enough, it was the familiar Tangtang. As far as he could remember, this was her first time to return to filming after giving birth, and she happened to take a role in a local Shanghai girl named Fanhua. While pouring tea for Miss Wang, Mr. Fan said, "I can't wait any longer. The workers have already been found. Once the machines in the factory are turned on, the assembly line will run day and night. Our money will be spent like crazy, but now I can't find Mr. Bao. This is killing me. We are from a small place, and I don't think Mr. Bao will bully me, right?"

Zhao Shucheng actually knew what was going on when he was eating here. After Bao was hit by a car, he left the hospital quickly, but he didn't show up on Huanghe Road for a month, making everyone wonder whether he was dead or alive.

It seems that Mr. Fan must have cooperated with Mr. Bao before. The workers have been found and the products are ready for production, but Mr. Bao cannot be found. He is worried that after his products are produced, he will not be able to use Mr. Bao's relationship to export and exchange foreign currency, so he came to Miss Wang specifically to inquire about Mr. Bao's situation.

Miss Wang frowned and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Bao bullying you? Since Mr. Bao knew you, when has he ever bullied you? From the time Mr. Bao got into trouble until now, all you've asked him is about Sanyang who cares about you. He's only concerned about you. Have you ever cared about him? Not a single word."

"I asked, Miss Wang, I asked you, but you didn't tell me. What on earth is Mr. Bao injured, Miss Wang? I can't wait to rush to Mr. Bao's side to take care of him. If I can exchange something for Mr. Bao's health, you tell me, I will definitely exchange it with Mr. Bao without hesitation."

Miss Wang said, "You said it!"

"I swear!"

"If he has eye problems now, and wants to dig out your eyes and exchange them with his, would you be willing?"

President Fan was shocked and said, "Ms. Wang, I am discussing such a small business with President Bao, and I have to dig out an eyeball for him?"

"I can, will you?"

Mr. Fan said, "Miss Wang, what you said is really a bit scary. The New Year is coming. Can you let me take my eyeballs home to celebrate the New Year? I will come back on the fourth day of the New Year. You can tell him that my Sanyang is his misfortune when he is alive and his ghost when he is dead. I wish you a happy New Year and I am leaving first."

Zhao Shucheng listened to the conversation between Mr. Fan and Miss Wang, and saw Mr. Fan running away in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and he couldn't help laughing.

When Miss Wang saw Zhao Shucheng laughing like this, she glared at him and said, "Is it funny?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not funny, but Mr. Fan is pitiful. He is here to do business, but he acts like he owes you money. He is so servile and almost kneels down to beg you."

"Is there something wrong? If his goods don't go through me, he won't be able to sell them at all. What do you do? Is this your place to speak?"

"I'm just an ordinary person who came here to seek fortune. As for whether there is a place for me to talk, this place is like a restaurant. Anyone can come to eat and talk, okay?"

Wang Mingzhu looked at Zhao Shucheng deeply, knowing that Zhao Shucheng was not the kind of person who needed help from her, so she could only stand up and prepare to leave.

Zhao Shucheng asked, "Ms. Wang, I have heard a lot of gossip during this half day on Huanghe Road. I know that you are from a foreign trade company. I wonder if I have the honor to cooperate with you?"

"Wait a minute. I don't have time to talk to you right now. Also, even if you want to discuss business with me, at least you should bring the product and let me know what business you are in, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, “Of course, but today I want to get to know Miss Wang first, in case we really need to cooperate in the future. Miss Wang is a stranger to me.”

After watching Miss Wang leave, Zhao Shucheng walked along the Yellow River Road and saw a newly renovated restaurant, but it was not open for business yet.

I learned from the boss of the newsstand that this restaurant was originally the Golden Phoenix, but it closed three months ago, and it was said to be related to Mr. Bao. Later, Li Li bought the restaurant and changed its name to Zhizhen Garden.

Zhao Shucheng knew that both the Golden Phoenix and Abao's car accident were related to a stock called 414. Six months ago, Qilin Club, the most powerful club in Magic City, approached Abao and asked for cooperation in purchasing 414 stocks, but Bao did not follow suit, and thus offended Qilin Club.

Zhao Shucheng had never expected that such a thing would happen when trading stocks in this world. It made him think of the famous father-son game between Lu Jiangtao and his father.

In fact, this stock was a scam from beginning to end. Qilin Club sought cooperation with Abao specifically because Abao suddenly became qualified to enter the big investor room. In fact, they were setting up a scam for Abao.

Unfortunately, Po is very smart and knows that Siyaosi has no future, so he doesn't follow him and even keeps it a secret. But the people around Po break the rules.

Soon after, the stockholders learned from the Golden Phoenix that Qilin would cooperate with Abao to buy the 414 stock, and the stockholders naturally bought it crazily, but they didn't expect that it was all a conspiracy. Abao persuaded Commander Cai and Stamp Li to hold back, but Fagen listened to the Golden Phoenix and bought all the stocks. In the end, he lost all his money and died in a taxi.

Among the restaurants on Huanghe Road, some are famous for their proprietresses, while others are unknown and unfathomable. What they sell is not side dishes, but their magical powers.

Jin Fenghuang was the mainstay of the restaurant. After such incident, she was so scared that she ran away overnight, and the restaurant naturally closed down. Many people were saying that Jin Fenghuang and Bao were in love, and Qilin Club also spread rumors, making Bao the most suitable scapegoat in the minds of shareholders.

Of course, none of this was told to him by the newsstand owner. It was just the result Zhao Shucheng came to after listening to some information from the owner and adding his own analysis. However, Zhao Shucheng felt that it was almost correct.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Zhao Shucheng is not in a hurry to try his hand in the stock market. Instead, he is leisurely preparing for his first Spring Festival in this world in his rental house.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng has also made a contingency plan. When the stock market opens after the beginning of the year, Zhao Shucheng will invest all his funds into it and try to make a few hundred thousand first so that he can do other business.

Zhao Shucheng was not worried about losing money. After all, there were only a few stocks that were traded in this era. Even if there were big investors, the overall situation would not change much without a large amount of foreign capital. Zhao Shucheng was just taking advantage of the situation. (End of this chapter)
