Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

MCA Global Hong Kong Company had contacted the Hong Kong government in July 1991 to buy a piece of land on Lantau Island, which is the future location of Tessney, but now MCA has brought forward the offer.

However, the other party had not given a reply until recently, when they suddenly did, but the land price was HK$1.5 billion.

Hearing that it would cost HK$1.5 billion, Zhang San felt it was still a bit expensive, but he agreed nonetheless.

He covered the cost at his Golden Harvest Realty in Hong Kong; he planned to have Cheung Kee Realty as the land owner and operator, while Universal would act as the licensor and manager, with 8% of ticket revenue allocated as related expenses.

MCA is a private company that has not been publicly disclosed. However, in its notes, it states: "Hong Kong is small and populous, with a limited population and no potential for sustainable growth."

"Jin An Real Estate is really shrewd; that deserted island actually costs HK$1.5 billion."

"Hey, it's not the whole deserted island, there are people living there, it's just a part of it."

"The scenery there is very nice, but Universal Studios is a lot of fun in North America. I've been there once."

"Hong Kong's status has risen, which is why Americans are being attracted here."

"I heard they're going to build a huge ship here, the Giant, to film a movie."

"That's a hotel, a hotel by the sea, it's called the Big Ship Hotel."

The day after the signing, representatives from Global, Jinan Real Estate, and the Hong Kong government held a press conference and signed the investment plan.

Representatives from the Hong Kong government highly praised the cooperation at a press conference.

"The total investment for the new airport is nearly HK$10 billion. Where will this money come from? We learned from the financing method used by the MTR Corporation back then. We sold land on Lantau Island to Kingboard Holdings Limited. Kingboard Holdings Limited then partnered with Universal Studios to develop the site and build Universal Studios Hong Kong, which will drive economic growth and... not only enhance Hong Kong's international status..."

Jinan Real Estate remained silent, while the representative from Global Times said a few kind words, and the rest was left to the Hong Kong government representative.

In terms of details, Jinan Real Estate is responsible for the development and will also sell the excess earth and stone to the airport construction company for land reclamation, which will save them a lot of money.

It can be said that this is a win-win situation, and Jinan Real Estate also made a profit from selling earthwork.

"Stephen, you've made a big deal, truly remarkable." Boss Liu, in Zhang San's office, looked at Zhang San's two secretaries and clicked his tongue, "Your taste is different from ours too. You're definitely someone who gets things done."

He Meitian served tea and then left, while Chai Xiaofen came in to deliver documents. The construction of Universal Studios Hong Kong had been put out to tender.

There are international infrastructure companies from mainland China, infrastructure companies from Cheung Kong Holdings, Kinmen Construction, and of course, many other construction companies.

He plans to build a five-star themed hotel with at least a thousand rooms, a business office building, employee apartments, a large ship hotel, and many amusement facilities. However, for safety reasons, he will not build any risky facilities such as Ferris wheels or roller coasters. But there is one project: a pirate ship.

During the initial preparation process, some mountains needed to be blasted flat. A portion of the excavated soil and rock was used to build a large ship hotel with 500 rooms, while the rest was sold to the Hong Kong government's airport project company.

As for the land sale to Jinan Real Estate, the Hong Kong government made an explanation to the mainland and obtained their consent before selling the land to them. The land lease term is 99 years.

"You flatter me, sir. What I've done is nothing special, just a small fry."

"I read in the newspaper that you're going to film a movie on that big ship hotel?"

He asked this question with a purpose, because some female celebrities had already begged him to let them join their productions.

Zhang San's eyes darted around, then he smiled and said, "I'm making a film about a shipwreck; it's a genuine Western film."

He's preemptively sealed the deal, and he's already explained why.

Boss Liu immediately understood and laughed, "Stephen, you have real guts."

Of course he has guts! He invested $300 million to make a movie. Who would say he lacks guts? A large portion of the budget went into that physical ship hotel.

After filming is completed, the large ship hotel will be jointly operated by both parties, with 10% of the revenue going to Universal.

In order to build this large ship, Jinan Real Estate sent people to the shipyard of the original ship, bought the design drawings and all the patents, and then arranged for people to carry out a one-to-one reconstruction.

Meanwhile, South Pacific Films, also known as Film 3, will be filming a story about a shipwreck. The film will be invested in by Golden Harvest Entertainment with $200 million, Universal Pictures with $50 million, and Film 3 with $50 million.

The filming period is expected to be three years. The script has been registered with the copyright bureau, and the film and television adaptation rights to the novel of the same name have also been purchased.

The announcement caused a sensation worldwide. This is the world's first film with an investment of $300 million, which can be said to be unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

A replica of the ship was built specifically for filming, making it unique in global film history.

What others don't know is that another film, the Galloby Pirates Trilogy, was also registered at the same time as this movie.

Having traveled through time, they have brought a visual and spiritual feast to the world ahead of schedule; of course, these images should be registered as design patents.

He invests to recoup his costs and then make a small profit.

The aftermath of this incident is that Guan Meiren has moved into a villa on the mountaintop and has no intention of leaving. She even launched a night raid on Zhang San, and what she said made a lot of sense.

"I have a right to live here. You said the three of us should take turns."

Holy crap, this woman… he's really enjoying it. She doesn't mind, and neither does he.

One evening, he specifically contacted the production company of "Once Upon a Time in China" and asked for all of Aunt Thirteen's costumes from the filming. He also found a tailor in Hong Kong to make several sets.

That very evening, after the costumes were finished, Zhang San took them out and said, "You played Aunt Thirteen really well last year. I specially made a few more of these costumes, using only the best materials."

"Why do so much? You can't wear it normally anyway."

Zhang San walked up to her, whispered a few words in her ear, her eyes slowly widened, her mouth opened, and her face grew redder and redder; finally, she couldn't help but punch him with her little fists, laughing and cursing, "You big pervert, you lecher!"

He's not some perverted lecher; he simply has a unique pursuit of art and a distinctive interpretation of beauty.

When it comes to pursuing art, all of you Yanzu (a famous Chinese comedian) are of the same ilk.
