Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1040 I owe you in my previous life

Jingyu herself could actually feel that her father cared more about her sister Jingxi than herself.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian has always loved Jingyu very much since he was a child.

The little girl has received the same treatment, and she feels that she has grown up. She would feel embarrassed if her father still pampered her as much as before.

Besides, Jingxi is only 2 years old, so no matter who you are jealous of, you won’t be jealous of Jingxi.

However, if Chu Xiangqian treated Jingrong and Jingshun better than Jingyu, the little girl would definitely be unhappy.

Baoyi sighed inwardly, knowing that since Jingyu had set her sights on her and would not let her join, the girl would definitely go directly to the initiator of the Shaolin Temple project.

Even with her grandfather's status, Jingyu ran to find people from the film studio.

People would definitely let her invest without hesitation.

Maybe by then, the investment ratio he could get would not be as high as Jingyu's.

Thinking of this, he glared at Chu Xiangqian with displeasure.

Chu Xiangqian was stunned, but fortunately this guy did have a good brain.

It only took a second to understand what Baoyi meant.

He lamented that he had no powerful backer and could only compromise with Jingyu.

He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my uncle has a few Hollywood projects. After the script is written, you will be responsible for delivering it to Raymond.

With your intelligence, it should be no problem to get 10% of the investment share from Raymond, right?"

Baoyi was immediately overjoyed. The scripts written by Chu Xiangqian would make money every time they were made, even if it was Hollywood.

As for whether Raymond Zhou would agree to invest, at most he would only give him one of the scripts.

I don't believe that the other few executives from Raymond and Universal would dare to refuse.

Although Baoyi actually didn't dare to keep Chu Xiangqian's script privately or submit the script to other major Hollywood studios.

But if I delay for a year or two before giving the next one, even if my uncle and mommy find out, they will just scold me at most.

But for Universal Pictures, time is money, and compromise will inevitably be made in the end.

Seeing this, Jingyu couldn't help but open his mouth.

However, seeing Baoyi glaring at him, Jingyu chuckled and looked at his father again.

Chu Xiangqian, who was feeding Jingxi boiled water, waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, you two sisters should discuss the investment issue by yourselves.

And with my dad's scripts, you two can only make a little money.

It would be better to buy Universal shares.”

Chu Xiangqian has a lot on his mind about movies that will perform well at the box office in the future.

Even the movies that set box office records can be recalled by more than a dozen.

There are even more movies that have grossed over 100 million in the North American market alone.

Of course, the box office success of many movies has a lot to do with luck.

But the quality of this type of movie is actually quite good. Only a very small number of them rely entirely on luck.

Even if one or two films really lost money, it might not be a bad thing for Chu Xiangqian.

Baoyi and Jingyu were both stunned, then their eyes lit up, and they wondered why they didn’t think of it.

The return on investment of making a movie is sometimes indeed high, but the time required is basically calculated in years.

The stock market is different. After a while, Baoyi shook her head.

"Uncle, we don't have as good a vision as you. Mom always tells me not to think about making quick money.

You never know when you might suffer a major setback in the stock market.

Not only did you lose all your previous earnings, you also suffered a huge loss.

He also said that you have been very conservative in your investments over the years, and the facts have proven that the economic situation has not been very good in the past decade.

After that, she started talking about some of her classmates and friends of the same age who lost money in investments and whose families covered the losses.

So it would be better for her to just do what her mother said and just work in the film industry which she is interested in and is relatively familiar with.

Even if you still have the possibility of losing money, every time you lose you will learn from it, and the probability of losing money in the end will be much smaller.

Jing Yu was stunned, frowned and thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

And what my brother said is actually very true.

Dad is too good at making money. No matter how successful my brothers and sisters become in the future, the probability of them surpassing my dad in business is basically zero.

It would be difficult to even have half of his vision and achievements.

Jingyu thought about it silently and realized that what his elder brother said was indeed right.

At least in Jingyu's eyes, his elder brother Jingrong and second brother Jingxing were already powerful enough.

But one of them is already 19 and the other 17.

But compared to what my mother said, when my father was this age, he dared to go into the mountains alone to hunt wild boars in the freezing winter.

In order to avenge his grandfather, he even took his second uncle and third uncle into the mountains to kill the bear that killed his grandfather.

Then he used the wild boar to exchange for the qualification to enter the city. That's how he met his great aunt Xue Hongmei and had the opportunity to meet his mother.

Then they arrested spies in the city.

It was not until Grandma Gong Er became seriously ill that she was taken to Hong Kong Island by her master's grandfather and grandmother.

Only two years later, my mother said that my father had earned tens of millions.

He also said that when his father was young, he was very fierce and many people in Hong Kong were afraid of him.

Just thinking about the time when my dad was in the Youguqi headquarters, he encountered a dozen dwarfs who were holding knives and wanted to chop him.

Jingyu shuddered in his heart.

The little girl has been truly spoiled since she was young. Fortunately, Xue Jinglan is taking care of her, otherwise she would probably have been spoiled by Chu Xiangqian.

But even if he hadn't grown crooked, Jing Yu had never killed a chicken, let alone fought and killed like Chu Xiangqian.

So Jingyu and Jingrong are indeed the most open-minded. If they don't have their father's ruthlessness and vision, they should stop thinking about surpassing him.

It would be better to be a rich young man and do what you like.

Even if my eldest brother loses money on the movie, that little investment is a drop in the bucket for the family.

But if you learn to start a business, it will not be a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions.

If one thing goes wrong, tens of millions, or even one or two hundred million dollars may be gone.

When Jingyu said this, not to mention Baoyi, even Chu Xiangqian was surprised.

I didn't expect that my eldest son could see things so clearly.

He smiled and shook his head, "Okay, your brother is right, investing is risky, and when the market is bad, you may lose as much as you invest.

But Dad is better at making money than your brother imagines.

I will give each of you 1 million yuan in the future, and it doesn’t matter whether you make a profit or a loss.”

After saying that, he looked at Baoyi and saw that the girl had an expectant look on her face.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's the same for Baoyi. You, Rongrong, and Ayu are all 100 million, and it's in US dollars."

Although Jingyu is timid, it doesn't mean she doesn't like money.

Especially since it was given to me by my dad, I don’t feel any psychological burden when holding it in my hands.

He stood up and sat next to Chu Xiangqian, put his arm around his and kissed him hard on the face.

"Thanks, Dad. I love you so much."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he was still very happy that his daughter was close to him.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that his daughter was smarter than he thought. Or, Jingyu had lost her ambition a long time ago.

It was because her biological father and mother gave her so much that she basically never thought about working hard to make money.

But no matter how hard she worked, even though she was still a 16-year-old girl, she was like all capitalists. Once she had money, she wanted to make more.

Then I heard Jingyu say, "Dad, I heard from Mom that you asked her to register an investment company, right?"

Chu nodded. This investment company was the one that absorbed the 30 million yuan of funds from Robert, Dennis and Perez.

Jing Yu hugged his father's arm tightly again and said with a smile, "Dad, then I will give you the 1 million US dollars.

And I will invest all the pocket money I have saved over the years and the rent from the buildings you gave me into this investment company, okay?"

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this. He was always good at fooling people and making them work like slaves for him.

I didn't expect that today I was treated like a beast of burden by my own daughter.

The money was given by himself, and he also wanted to help her make money. Chu Xiangqian almost vomited blood when he heard this.

Seeing his father's face turn dark, Jing Yu quickly looked up and kissed Chu Xiangqian on the face several more times.

She even grabbed his arm and shook it coquettishly.

"Dad, since you are absorbing foreign funds, you must be using them for investment. Why don't you take me with you?"

Chu Xiangqian's dissatisfaction suddenly dissipated by more than half.

Moreover, Jing Yu also fixed his gaze on Jing Xi, who had a look of surprise on his face.

She rolled her eyes, revealed a brilliant smile, and said to Jingxi, "Xixi, sister brought you so many delicious foods last time.

I took you to play on the city gate tower again, now you can help your sister to beg daddy, okay?"

No matter how smart Jingxi is, he is still just a 2-year-old child.

He was immediately bribed by Jingyu.

Following Jingyu's example, he stood up in Chu Xiangqian's arms, hugged his father's neck, and kissed him on the face several times.

After doing all this, he looked at Jingyu inquiringly.

Jingyu smiled and nodded quickly, "That's it. If dad doesn't help your sister, you just keep kissing him."

Jing Xi chuckled, put his arms around Chu Xiangqian's neck and kissed him again.

After just a few kisses, Chu Xiangqian's face was covered with saliva.

He hugged Jingxi and said, "Okay, okay, Dad agreed."

Chu Xiangqian held his precious little daughter in his arms and nodded to Jingyu unhappily, “I must have owed you in my previous life.

If someone else dared to make such a request to me, I would definitely beat that guy up."

Jingyu chuckled, hugged Jingxi into his arms, and kissed the little girl hard on the face.

She ignored her father's complaints and said to Jingxi with a smile, "Xixi, after dinner, sister will take you out to play."

Jing Xi smiled foolishly and nodded, but his eyes were looking at Chu Xiangqian, his biological father.

Chu Xiangqian knew what his little daughter meant, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, after dinner, Dad will go with you and your sister."

After saying that, Chu Xiangqian looked at Baoyi and said, “If you don’t have a good investment project, just like Jingyu, put it in that investment company.

The annual profit promised to customers is 12%, and the dividend is 1200 million US dollars every year. I am beginning to envy you and your brothers and sisters. "

If you really do this, it is actually equivalent to giving Jingyu, Baoyi, and several other children the money for training, but in the end it will end up in your hands.

In name the money belongs to the children, but the control is in their own hands.

Just invest in some stocks or real estate and you can get at least 30% profit every year.

Then, with $1200 million per person, we can also see how these kids spend the money.

It is also enough for them to practice.

Whoever does well in the future will be the one to manage his future business empire.

The purpose of testing the children was also achieved.

Baoyi was overjoyed. When she thought of the 1200 million US dollars, she smiled foolishly and didn't know how to spend it for a moment.

At this time, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar to US dollar was 5.13 to 1.

More than 60 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to buy a building in the next most prosperous areas such as Mong Kok, North Point and Yau Ma Tei.

As for Central, Admiralty and Causeway Bay, you can’t buy a good building with 60 million now.

However, it won’t be long before Tianchao and Yinggua start talking about when Hongdao will return home.

Once the news is confirmed, housing prices in Hong Kong Island will inevitably plummet.

At the peak, even the central city area fell by 30%.

Elsewhere, the decline was even more severe.

However, the biggest reason why the central urban area has fallen so sharply is that a large number of wealthy Hong Kong people, foreign capital and some wealthy Hong Kong people have left Hong Kong Island.

Only in this way will a large number of high-quality properties appear on the market.

On the contrary, it was in 84 when it was confirmed that 97 would return home, and housing prices ushered in a bull market that lasted for more than ten years.

Chu Xiangqian would rather invest his money in Tokyo and Singapore than in Hong Kong Island because he knew that the land price in Hong Kong Island would fall.

But he considered the long-term and did not sell some of his commercial buildings and stores at high prices while housing prices in Hong Kong Island were still high.

Wait for the housing prices to fall and then buy it back.

Once this is done, it will be time for the Celestial Empire to talk to Ying Gua.

There will inevitably be people who say that Chu Xiangqian sold a large number of properties in advance, so naturally he is not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island.

Perhaps because of his actions, more wealthy and middle-class people in Hong Kong will flee abroad.

Even if you tell others that it is just a simple business transaction.

And how could I possibly predict the future if I could do it two or three years in advance?

No matter how much you say, it will definitely be used by people with ulterior motives, and even under the influence of so many people's criticism, it will become impossible to explain it anymore.

And the more you explain, the more people will say that you are guilty.

Even Chu Xiangqian could think of his large-scale investment in real estate in Tokyo last year and this year.

He also asked Gangsheng, Feifei, Jinzhi and Jinxiu to invest in a resort hotel in Singapore.

People will also be accused of not being optimistic about Hong Kong Island and investing a large amount of funds in places outside Hong Kong Island.

However, although the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island is in a downturn, the film and television industry will experience explosive growth in the next few years.

To put it bluntly, when the market conditions are bad, you have less money in your pocket.

Entertainment is necessary, so young people prefer to go to the cinema.

At the same time, I stayed at home and spent more time watching TV with my parents.

Industries such as nightclubs, mahjong halls, and restaurants will fall into a low-profit period with declining revenues.

When Baoyi thought that she would receive a dividend of 1200 million US dollars every year starting next year, she hurriedly sat to the right of Chu Xiangqian.

"Uncle, do you think I should follow Aunt Lan and Aunt Fei's example and buy a few more buildings to collect rent?"

Chu Xiangqian thought that this girl wanted to kiss him excitedly just like Jingyu and Jingxi.

Seeing that Baoyi was only asking this question, he nodded hurriedly, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.

After thinking for a few seconds, I thought to myself that the dividends would be distributed next year anyway.

No matter how much we say now, Baoyi does not have that much money to invest in real estate in Hong Kong Island.

But he didn't say it was a sure thing, and said with a smile, "It's up to you. Although Hong Kong Island's real estate prices have been rising and falling, in my opinion, in the long run, Hong Kong Island's housing prices still have a lot of room for growth."
