Hong Kong Film: Starting Undercover from the Five Tigers!

Li Kangsheng then called over a secretary and handed Liu Wenhao a thick stack of business plans.

After reviewing the proposal, Liu Wenhao shook his head: "All of your proposals are garbage! None of them align with the development plan for the entertainment market in China. Moreover, I think this proposal is not suitable for development in Hong Kong; it's more suited to overseas markets!"

Upon hearing Liu Wenhao's words, Li Kangsheng's heart skipped a beat, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. Although creating business plans wasn't his forte, over the years he had known many entrepreneurs who were always very supportive when discussing collaborations. He had never encountered anyone like Liu Wenhao, who immediately belittled his business plan! "Brother Hao, could you elaborate?"

"Hehe, since you're so eager to learn, I'll explain it to you in detail!"

Liu Wenhao chuckled and continued, "Right now, in the international entertainment industry, besides variety shows and TV dramas, the most attention is still focused on online television. Look at this proposal!" He pointed to the title "Millionaire" on the proposal: "Do you know what a millionaire represents?"

Li Kangsheng shook his head blankly: "I'm not quite sure!"

"Hehe, then let me tell you, millionaires represent that no matter which city, or even the whole world, as long as someone is in front of a computer searching for news, searching Baidu Encyclopedia, etc., they will definitely be able to find millionaires!"

"This..." Li Kangsheng said, seemingly incredulous, "Brother Hao, not only can we find the millionaire, but we can also see the specific data?"

“Yes, and you can even see the specific spending level!” Liu Wenhao nodded and said, “This is an extremely high-end way of spending! You know, there’s a term that’s popular in China now called ‘tuhao’ (nouveau riche). Actually, this term was borrowed from a rich second-generation heir abroad.”

"Oh, I've heard some of that!"

"This title is formed because their consumption concepts are different from ours!"

Liu Wenhao took a sip of coffee and said casually, "I once read a report about a wealthy man in a certain country who had a huge LCD monitor at home with a giant virtual screen showing him participating in bidding. The background music for this screen was 'Für Elise.' He usually used this software on his computer to browse financial news. His son was also using it in school, and his son would log into the software every Friday night before going to bed, but he would forget to log out the next morning. Therefore, the software remained closed until his son woke up."

“This…” Li Kangsheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he heard Liu Wenhao describe the software in such an amazing way.

Liu Wenhao shrugged and continued, "This software can not only view numbers, but also adjust music and video, and search for some big news, such as a celebrity getting married, or a certain group's stock plummeting, or a tycoon's scandal."

Li Kangsheng swallowed hard, staring at Liu Wenhao with a look of shock.

"You help me set up the entertainment company, and I'll help you with the product supply!" Liu Wenhao said domineeringly.

"this...."

"What? You don't want to?" Looking at the hesitant Li Kangsheng, Liu Wenhao's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"No, no, no, Brother Hao, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I don't have that much capital on hand!"

"Oh? What's your bottom line?"

“I currently only have around 50 million Hong Kong dollars on hand,” Li Kangsheng said after a moment’s hesitation.

“It’s okay, your money will at least double after this is over!” Liu Wenhao took out his laptop, quickly typed a transfer notification, and handed it to Li Kangsheng.

"Thank you, Brother Hao, thank you!"

Li Kangsheng excitedly took the notification slip, carefully read it over, confirmed it was correct, and then said gratefully, "Brother Hao, I'll send someone to handle this money right away! I will transfer the money to the company's account as soon as possible, according to the contract!"

"Okay, sure." Liu Wenhao nodded. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."

Li Kangsheng was taken aback: "Brother Hao, there's something else I'd like to trouble you with!"

"whats the matter?"

“I hope you can take us to Hong Kong to meet Zhang Xiaoya!” Li Kangsheng said. “We want to hire her as the chief designer for our flagship store!”

"Zhang Xiaoya, I remember her. She's quite pretty, and she studied fashion design." Liu Wenhao frowned and said, "But why did you hire her as your designer?"

"Brother Hao, our clothing is extremely popular. Many people are coming here because of its reputation, but we don't have a suitable designer here!" Li Kangsheng said with a wry smile.

"Okay, then leave me your contact information. When Zhang Xiaoya arrives in China, she can call you!" Liu Wenhao thought for a moment and then accepted Li Kangsheng's invitation.

"Thank you so much, Brother Hao!" Li Kangsheng said with a delighted expression. "If this deal goes through, I guarantee you won't lose money!"

"Hehe, that's up to you guys." Liu Wenhao smiled slightly. "Alright, I'll be going now!"

"Brother Hao, please sit down for a while longer!" Li Kangsheng warmly invited him to stay. "I think it's very important to share what you just said with the employees. I've already contacted headquarters, and they've agreed. We will hold a press conference in three days to introduce you to the outside world!"

"This... let's forget about it!"

"Brother Hao, this is an honor you deserve, and I think the publicity effect this time will definitely be better, and we'll definitely make money!"

"You little brat, you're so eager to make money, huh!" Liu Wenhao rolled his eyes at him, then stood up and said, "How about this, I'm free this afternoon. I'll go to the press conference with you, and I'll also explain my investment plan to everyone there, so we don't get fooled by those people!"

"Ouch!"

After hearing Liu Wenhao's words, Li Kangsheng couldn't help but slap his thigh, almost jumping up in excitement.

Liu Wenhao was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I didn't say anything wrong!"

"Then why are you so excited?"

"Brother Hao, you don't know, those bastards have been blocking our livelihood, making it impossible for us to recover any profit. Moreover, the annual dividends are far below expectations. I really don't understand why the boss is wasting money like this!"

“You don’t understand!” Liu Wenhao said with a slight smile, “You have to understand that any business operation, no matter what it is, must have a good concept in the end. I think the most important thing about this concept is innovation and flexibility. And the power of innovation is infinite, so I believe that a new enterprise must have novel innovations in order to attract customers and spread this novel thinking.”

That hit the nail on the head. Although Li Kangsheng didn't have much formal education, he had been working in the garment manufacturing industry for the past few years and had picked up some knowledge from what he saw and heard.

“Over the years, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of money, but I feel it’s far from enough to support our company’s operations. So, I’m hoping to find a better, more profitable way. I heard you say Zhang Xiaoya is a fashion designer, so I’d like to ask you to recruit her. If we can get her, our sales will definitely skyrocket!” Li Kangsheng said excitedly.

"Okay, sure." Liu Wenhao nodded and said, "Give me a tender document later, and I'll show her your design drafts. If there are no problems, then we'll sign the contract. Don't worry, she'll definitely come. I trust my judgment."

Upon hearing this, Li Kangsheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, Brother Hao. I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day!"

"There's no need for a meal," Liu Wenhao shook his head and said, "You just need to do your job well. I treat my subordinates very well and I will never mistreat them."

"I know, thank you, Brother Hao!" Li Kangsheng bowed deeply and said gratefully.

"Don't mention it, it's what I should do!" Liu Wenhao reached out to help Li Kangsheng up, smiled slightly, and said, "Go ahead, I have some things to do, I'll be going now!"

"Okay, then I won't see you off!"

Liu Wenhao turned to leave, but stopped at the door and said, "By the way, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I can help you!"

"Thank you, I will try my best!" Li Kangsheng nodded hurriedly.

After Liu Wenhao left, Li Kangsheng began instructing his subordinates to arrange the preparations for the banquet. They planned to invite Zhang Xiaoya to the Shangri-La Hotel to attend the opening ceremony!

In addition, Li Kangsheng personally wrote promotional leaflets, which were then delivered to the public relations and finance departments by his secretary. The public relations department then contacted some media outlets to try and get publicity online and in newspapers!

After Liu Wenhao got back to his car, he called Chen Tingting and told her that he was hosting a banquet for friends at the Shangri-La Hotel the next day at noon and asked her to come too!

“Okay, no problem, we’ll be there in a bit,” Chen Tingting said with a hearty laugh.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wenhao dialed Zhao Jianguo's number again.

Beep~ Beep~....

The call was answered after it rang for about ten seconds.

"Hey, Jianguo, it's me!" Liu Wenhao said calmly.

"Brother Hao? You're back?" Zhao Jianguo asked in surprise. "Weren't you on a business trip to Yanjing? Why are you back?"

"Hehe, I took care of some personal business. Now that I'm free, I'm calling you right away!" Liu Wenhao said casually, "How did your mission go?"

"Brother Hao, everything went smoothly!" Zhao Jianguo said. "This operation has been a complete success!"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work!"

"Hehe, Brother Hao, we're on a mission to protect you!" Zhao Jianguo chuckled.

"Hmm!" Liu Wenhao smiled, then continued, "I've run into a bit of trouble, could you help me out?"

"Brother Hao, just tell me what it is, and I'll do my best to help you resolve it!"

"I have a friend named Zhang Xiaoya. She's a PhD student who returned from overseas, and she's also a beautiful woman. Do you know her?" Liu Wenhao said with a smile.

"Uh... Brother Hao, you... you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"Get lost, I don't have a girlfriend!" Liu Wenhao glared at him. "What I mean is, I want you to introduce me to Zhang Xiaoya. I want to talk to her about design."

"Brother Hao, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, just tell your boss that as long as she's willing to come to Hong Kong, I'll offer five million to hire her!" Liu Wenhao said calmly.

"Brother Hao, are you sure you want to offer five million?"

"nonsense!"

Zhao Jianguo was startled upon hearing this: "Brother Hao, are you serious?"

"Nonsense! When did I ever joke?"

"Then you wait here, I'll report to the leader right now, I'm sure he'll agree!" Zhao Jianguo said happily, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

"Brother Hao, you're being too polite with me. I'll do my duty without hesitation for anything you've asked me to do!"

"it is good!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two hung up the phone. At this moment, Liu Wenhao had a mysterious smile on his lips. He had already made up his mind. This Zhang Xiaoya was definitely a talent, and she was currently at the peak of her creative career, which was the best time for him to discover her.

In fact, Liu Wenhao had read many online novels in his previous life. He knew that a genius female protagonist like Zhang Xiaoya, with a little nurturing, could become an excellent fashion designer, and might even grow into a top designer.

Because Zhang Xiaoya has an exceptional talent for clothing design, every piece of her clothing is unique and exquisite, each with a special meaning and a stunning beauty.

Her designs often showcase a unique style. In the design world, there's a saying: Zhang Xiaoya's clothing is a work of art!

Therefore, when she first entered this industry, she was regarded as the dream goddess by many men!

Chapter 973 Come in!

The clothing designs Liu Wenhao remembered were mostly based on designs from movies or websites from his previous life. However, those designers were long gone, so Liu Wenhao wanted to draw inspiration from Zhang Xiaoya's designs to see if they could be used in his future work.

Liu Wenhao knew his designs couldn't reach Zhang Xiaoya's level; after all, she was a seasoned, experienced designer, while Liu Wenhao was a recent college graduate with limited theoretical ideas and little practical experience. However, since his father wanted to promote the clothing industry, he might as well give it a try! He didn't need to worry about success or failure; he just needed to achieve what he envisioned!

After get off work, Liu Wenhao took Zhang Xiaoya to a relatively secluded teahouse and asked for a private room on the second floor by the window.

After Liu Wenhao handed the menu to Zhang Xiaoya, Zhang Xiaoya casually ordered three or four dishes she liked and then returned the menu to Liu Wenhao.

"Brother Hao, shall we drink some baijiu?" Zhang Xiaoya parted her cherry lips slightly, smiling gently as she looked at Liu Wenhao.

"Okay!"

"Then let's have a bottle of Moutai!" Zhang Xiaoya said with a light laugh.

Soon, the food was served, and Zhang Xiaoya took out two glasses and poured half a glass of red wine for Liu Wenhao.

"Brother Hao, try this! It's a local specialty stir-fry from our hometown! It tastes pretty good."

"Hmm, it's quite delicious." Liu Wenhao picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and then praised it.

"As long as Brother Hao likes it."

"By the way, Zhang Xiaoya, your major is fashion design, right? What do you think of this major?"

"It's okay."

"Hehe, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with!" Liu Wenhao said after a moment's thought.

"Brother Hao, just say so. I'll definitely help if I can!"

"It's like this, I have a friend who wants you to be his personal assistant..."

"Brother Hao, to be honest, I'm afraid this won't work!"

"Why not? Let me tell you, you've struck gold this time. Think about it, all your professional knowledge is priceless. As long as you become my friend's personal assistant, I can promise you that if you're willing, I can promote you to vice president, or even chairman, of one of our group's major companies. Are you willing?"

Liu Wenhao's promise is undoubtedly a huge temptation for a college student, especially in this materialistic and money-obsessed society.

"Brother Hao, you're not lying to me, are you?" Zhang Xiaoya clearly couldn't believe it.

"Heh, would I lie to you about something this important?"

"What conditions do I need to pay?"

Zhang Xiaoya was not blinded by Liu Wenhao's sweet words. Although the offer was indeed very attractive, she could not help but think about her own and her family's future.

"Don't worry, my friend won't treat you badly. As long as you do as he says, you'll definitely enjoy countless riches in the future!" Liu Wenhao said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoya fell into deep thought, wondering whether what Liu Wenhao said was true or false!

After a long while, Zhang Xiaoya finally raised her head, looked at Liu Wenhao, and blushed slightly: "Brother Hao, can I think about it first?"

Liu Wenhao knew that these things couldn't be rushed, so he smiled and nodded.

"Brother Hao, I toast to you!" Zhang Xiaoya said, raising her glass.

"it is good!"

The two clinked glasses and downed their glasses of red wine.

After finishing her drink, Zhang Xiaoya wiped her rosy, full lips and said, "Brother Hao, I don't know where your friend is, but I'll head over there right now!"
