Chapter 635: Intellectuals are just pretentious!
"You have a TV station in Hong Kong?"
Ma hardly reads the news and had no idea that Chu Hang had acquired Hong Kong Asia Television.
In fact, not many people in the mainland knew about it. When Chu Hang acquired Asia TV, Hong Kong was widely reporting on the Southeast Asian palm oil crisis, and the acquisition of Asia TV was only briefly mentioned.
People outside the industry have no idea about it, and even people in the industry don’t understand it.
Now is the time for Hong Kong artists to go north and for mainland China to cooperate with Hong Kong film and television. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hong Kong's film and television industry is not doing well and that TV stations are just losing money.
Who among the rich people would invest in a TV station? Wouldn’t it be nice to take the money and go north to invest in real estate?
"Well..." Chu Hang didn't need to explain his purpose to Ma Du, "If you want to start a program, I can guarantee it on ATV, and you should know more about antique collections in Southeast Asia than I do."
There are a large number of Chinese in Southeast Asia, and antique collecting is equally popular. Ma Du is in this business. To put it bluntly, he is an antique dealer. Now that he has no shortage of money, he wants to go ashore and launder his wealth.
The target of Hong Kong TV is definitely Southeast Asian countries, many of which have old family collections, and many collectors themselves are experts in this field.
Ma Du was a little panicked. He had no celebrity status yet, and the old experts who really knew the business looked down on him. He could only fool some local bosses who didn't know much about the business.
I feel a little uneasy.
“Do you think I can do it?” As if Chu Hang’s words could give people confidence, Ma Du smiled awkwardly: “I feel uncertain right now.
"The TV station that doesn't believe in me doesn't believe in your ability."
Chu Hang looked at Ma Du with a smile, this is the affectation of a cultured person.
They want to be famous, but are worried about being attacked. This means that these people are not thick-skinned enough now, but they will become famous once they have cultivated themselves.
He also thought of some things. This person was considered an expert in the shareholder circle in the future and had hosted many programs. There was also a star in the entertainment industry who liked to use a sledgehammer to smash other people's things for fun. While smashing, something happened and no one knew what the result was.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
This concept is deeply rooted in the Chinese cultural circle. Once the economy developed a little, the antique collecting craze emerged and wealthy people from the mainland rushed to collect antiques.
Chu Hang suddenly had an idea. Now that he had too much money to spend, he should have some interests of his own. Old Wang built a blue and white porcelain park in Jingdezhen, which was a real waste of money. Chu Hang thought it would be appropriate for him to build a museum when he got old.
"Since you are praising me, how can I not believe in your ability? I don't believe in my ability."
After thinking for a while, Ma Du smiled and said it very politely, and then he talked to Chu Hang about the specific things.
He knew a friend who worked at Yuzhou TV station. Yuzhou had been a vassal state since ancient times and was rich in cultural relics. Like Xi'an, the underground was full of princes and nobles, who had dinner and chatted with Ma Du, so he thought of asking this person to host a show.
Ma Du happened to be free, and he thought that he should clean up his mess and stop being an antique dealer.
But the conditions offered by Chu Hang were better. ATV was more famous than Yuzhou TV Station, and its programs would be broadcast overseas as soon as they were aired.
"The TV station will invest in the program, you just need to provide the people. You can also show off some good stuff. I know you have hidden a lot of treasures. Don't deny it. There are many rich people in Hong Kong, so there should be people who are interested. I will pay for the food and accommodation of 100,000 yuan for one episode.
"Chu Hang's words hit Ma Du's heart immediately.
Ma Dan is treated so well.
"The show is good. We will release a CVD later. I won't treat you unfairly. Please consider it."
"Well..." Ma Du's old face blushed and he was too embarrassed to speak: "I'm so sorry, I still took your money."
"Then why don't you go?"
"Since you think highly of me, I will be disrespectful to you."
Ma Du was also a very particular person. He naturally understood that Chu Hang was polite to him, and immediately invited Chu Hang to his home for tea.
Chu Hang had nothing to do anyway. Ma Du's home was nearby, a courtyard house. It was not very big, but it was well-preserved, clean and elegant. Chu Hang was jealous.
"Old Ma, are you selling this yard?"
Madu invited Chu Hang to be his guest. Chu Hang fell in love with someone's house. Madu: mmp
Is there anyone like you who comes as a guest?
Chu Hang lives in a villa near the Xishan Scenic Area, which is one of the most luxurious in Beijing, but he still likes this kind of old Chinese courtyard.
But he had never thought about it before, and it was too late. The good yards had already been divided up by other rich people.
I have been looking for a place for the client and I did find one, but the yard is too big. The yard in Madu is neither too big nor too small, just right for living.
It is open from north to south, simple and elegant, and not far from the city center, with convenient transportation.
"Just name a price, everything is negotiable." Chu Hang doesn't care about money at all. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"This is my family's ancestral home. It can't be sold. But if you really want it, I know someone who is selling the house."
"you know?"
"I know him. I've met him a few times." Ma Du said, "Have you heard of Li Ru? He is one of the Four Lis of Beijing."
Chu Hang had heard about the Four Young Masters of the capital before, and now there are the Four Lis. Can this place not get along with the four? Are there the Four Vajras?
However, Chu Hang had actually heard of this Li Ru, who was a businessman and an actor. He later became a veteran actor and was always troubled by many things, and was also a frequent guest on variety shows.
"I know this person, but I have never seen him."
"What is your identity? What is his identity?" Ma Du served tea to Chu Hang without any courtesy.
At that time, Mr. Ma was still far from being the richest man, Alibaba had not yet gone public, but Chu Hang had already firmly occupied the position of the richest man. The outside media said that Chu Hang was striving to become the richest man in Asia.
Li Ru is famous in the capital, but compared with Chu Hang, the gap is too big and there is no chance for him to socialize with Chu Hang.
But he has a courtyard. Li Ru is a local. His ancestors ran a silk shop, which is now next to the Forbidden City. He also has another courtyard that he is planning to sell. He recently lost money in foreign exchange speculation and is planning to sell the courtyard. It was the failure of this foreign exchange investment that made Li Ru decide not to play foreign exchange and become an actor.
Chu Hang felt that this was fate. Suddenly, a familiar feeling from his own era came over him. Another person he was familiar with.
Ma Du acted as a middleman and quickly made an appointment with the other party to have dinner together. Ma Du did not tell the other party that he was Chu Hang.
The meal was scheduled to be at the Beijing Hotel. Chu Hang and Ma Du arrived a little late on purpose. When they stopped the car, they saw a man with a shiny Mediterranean forehead standing outside the hotel with his arms around his chest and his eyes looking around. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a serious person, but a genuine local veteran.
"Here!" Ma Du waved and Li Ru saw him.
Oh, sir!
"Why did you meet here? It's so expensive. My house is enough for several meals."
Li Ru was feeling anxious. He had lost too much money recently and he really didn't dare to spend money recklessly.
