The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 617 A Worrying Sign! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"This car is really stylish and imposing!"

Huo Daheng's eyes lit up when he saw the prototype.

At Wu Aiguo's suggestion, he couldn't wait to take a stroll around the enclosed warehouse area.

"Great, great! It's much easier to handle than other motorcycles on the market!"

After parking the motorcycle in front of Wu Aiguo, Huo Daheng smiled with satisfaction: "Just for its cool appearance, I reckon quite a few young people would want one!"

"This is a new motorcycle designed according to ergonomics!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "As for the sale, there's no rush right now. I have a complete publicity plan!"

"Oh, another script?"

Huo Daheng immediately became interested and eagerly asked, "Let me see it!"

"There's no need to be in such a hurry!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Why don't we eat and chat?"

"How can I wait?"

Huo Daheng disagreed, saying irritably, "Ever since you got the script for 'Flipped' last time, you've really blown up the Hong Kong film and television industry!"

"Just based on Section Chief Wu's talent, I can't wait to get started!"

Actually, he wanted to replicate the success of the previous movie promotion.

Unfortunately, at that time, the dominant force in the Hong Kong film industry was the left-wing film companies, and the types of films they produced were very different from those in "Flipped".

As for Shaw Brothers, they had a presence in Hong Kong Island through the Nanyang Cinema Circuit.

What she's best at doesn't fit the style of "Flipped".

In fact, many people in the Hong Kong film and television industry wanted to find the talented screenwriter Wu Aiguo through Huo Daheng.

A script that can appeal to both the East and the West is quite remarkable.

Huo Daheng would never be foolish enough to expose Wu Aiguo's identity, or even want to cooperate and make money together in the future.
Clearly, he prefers making money from foreigners!

During this period, he also privately sought out famous screenwriters to create films with excellent advertising and promotional effects.

As a result, all the films lost money.

He then gave up his idea of ​​making a name for himself in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Unexpectedly, at the end of 1964, Wu Aiguo surprised him.

When he finally read the script, he was completely stunned.

"Section Chief Wu, can a film like this make money and attract an audience?"

In his opinion, the story told in the script was far too ordinary.

Isn't it just a story about a small-time thug from the US or some European country who rises to power through reckless struggle?
Some of the scenes were indeed exciting, but that's about it.

Such things happen almost every day on Hong Kong Island at this time!

"Sure!"

Wu Aiguo said confidently, "Let me put it this way, teenagers in the US and Europe probably like this kind of thing!"

"Okay, shall we follow the same pattern as last time?"

Huo Daheng didn't waste any time and immediately declared, "I believe you!"

"No, please don't make the Hong Kong version, it will corrupt the children!"

Wu Aiguo hurriedly spoke up, forcing a wry smile: "This matter is rather underhanded!"

"Haha, Section Chief Wu is so thoughtful!"

Huo Daheng's confidence grew even stronger, and he chuckled, "When dealing with foreigners, the more underhanded the better. I support you!"

The matter was settled amicably. The technicians who had come with him were quite puzzled and whispered among themselves for a while. In the end, they concluded that Huo Daheng was unfamiliar with motorcycles, which was why he was so 'careless'.

Little did they know that this was Huo Daheng's trust in successful people.

Otherwise, Wu Aiguo would have offered a motorcycle for 2,500 dollars right off the bat. Would any other businessman have agreed so easily?

Huo Daheng not only agreed, but also said that the first batch of motorcycles would be 500, and he would pay immediately upon arrival of the vehicles.

That's why he's able to become the overseas general agent for such a wide variety of bicycles—he's incredibly generous and magnanimous.

There are quite a few wealthy Southeast Asian businessmen who have good relations with China.

Having finalized the business deal, Wu Aiguo did not stay in Guangdong Province for long.

He was a little worried about returning to the capital immediately.

Indeed, something went wrong at home.

Despite not being his biological father, Takeshi, everything at the repair shop remained the same, with daily production tasks fully scheduled.

Most importantly, after finalizing the deal with Huo Daheng, the repair shop was to build a new motorcycle workshop near the three-wheeled vehicle workshop.

Beimo Factory, which had been keeping a close eye on the repair shop, received the news immediately and jumped in wanting a piece of the pie.

Given the special nature of the Beimo Factory, the higher-level industrial authorities, after emergency coordination, still managed to get the factory a production quota of 250 motorcycles.

However, Beimo is responsible for the entire motorcycle production line at the repair shop.

Originally, according to the instructions of the leaders of the higher-level industrial department, the workers on the production line were also to be sent to the repair shop.

Unfortunately, the repair shop didn't want it!

The repair shop now has a relatively mature worker training mechanism and does not want skilled workers from other factories to come and disrupt the good atmosphere.

Wu Aiguo had discussed this matter with Wu Zhi long ago.

It has to be said that Wu Zhi's father, since becoming the factory director, has performed impeccably.

In particular, he adopted and implemented almost all of Wu Aiguo's suggestions that he deemed reliable and feasible.

It was his resolute execution and excellent execution ability that made the repair shop so successful.

Coordinating workshop management alone is not a simple task.

To open a new workshop, it's natural to need to recruit workers.

The Gulou Subdistrict Office was very proactive and cooperated seamlessly.

Thanks to the absorption of workers by the repair shop and other related factories, there are now very few unemployed youths in Gulou Subdistrict.

Anyone who is able to work has basically found a place to go.

If someone is truly hopeless, the sanitation and cleaning team established by the neighborhood committee is always open to them.

It's strange, really!
The subtle unrest in Beijing did not affect the Gulou Street area.

As for the stepmother Zhang Li, she is a long-time worker in the textile factory, or you could say a seasoned veteran, so she is unlikely to cause any problems.

Unless, she's lost her mind and gotten involved with her family again.

In fact, her family did come to her door, still wanting to take advantage of her. After a few words, they mentioned various troubles at home, implying that they hoped Zhang Li would give them money to help them out.

Whether Zhang Li gave it to him or not, no one else knew, not even Wu Aiguo.

But he knew that Zhang Li had absolutely not touched her father Wu Zhi's salary and benefits.

As for arranging a job for her younger brother Zhang Xiaobao, it was never even mentioned.

The factory director's wife was doing a good job, but she didn't want to implicate her husband because of her younger brother, so there's nothing more to say.

"Brother, Aijun doesn't pay attention in class and often skips classes to hang out with some classmates!"

The real problem lay with the two younger brothers; their younger sister Wu Aihong's report reached their ears immediately.
