The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

In early August, when Golden Harvest Films was at its peak and Bruce Lee's film "Game of Death" was achieving new glory, the Hong Kong media suddenly broke the news of "Bruce Lee and Ding Pei's affair."

Zou Wenhuai looked at the news in "Ming Pao Weekly" and couldn't help but sneered: "Just this trick, even if you want to bring down the leading star of our Jiahe Films, it's too simple!"

"Ming Pao Weekly" did not publish too eye-catching photos. Bruce Lee and Ding Pei were only relatively close together in the photos, but it did not explain anything.

It was obvious that someone was trying to fight against the enemy in a corner, making a last-ditch effort. It goes without saying that the target is his old club.

"Raymond, is this troublesome?" Bruce Lee walked into Zou Wenhuai's office and asked curiously.

He didn't panic at all. Being afraid when something happened was not his style.

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "What's the trouble? It's such a simple question! You invite Linda to come to Hong Kong for a visit, and at the same time make an appointment with Ding Pei. The three of you will have a dinner together, and I will let "Oriental Daily" publish it. This is convenient for you. do it?"

After thinking for a while, Bruce Lee said: "No problem! Linda won't care about Ding Pei, and you also know that I don't like Ding Pei very much!"

He was confident that Linda wouldn't really be angry!

Zou Wenhuai said: "I knew you could do it! But Bruce, "Game of Death" seems to be very successful. I hope to start your sixth movie as soon as possible. I heard that you have a headache problem, and the boss specifically told me to have someone accompany you." Check it out, or try traditional Chinese medicine."

Bruce Lee said: "It's no problem, I just have some minor problems occasionally. Thank you Boss Lin for your concern!"

Zou Wenhuai insisted: "Just treat it as a check-up. Don't we Chinese believe that diseases should be avoided and medical treatments should be avoided? It's best if everything is fine. Even if you have a minor problem, you can take care of it!"

Under Zou Wenhuai's kindness, Bruce Lee agreed.

He is very grateful to Jiahe Film. After all, it was Jiahe Film that 'discovered' him, so he will only cooperate with Jiahe Film. Even if it is a Hollywood movie, it must be cooperated with Golden Harvest Films.

After that, Zou Wenhuai advised again: "Bruce, since you don't have much affection for Ding Pei, it's better not to get along too much. This time you are reported by the media, guess who might be pushing it?"

Bruce Lee was stunned and said, "Could it be that Shaw Brothers is targeting me?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "It's almost the same! This is secondary, who can take your intimate photos, and whether there are any reasons for Ding Pei. Although these are all speculations, I still hope you will take them seriously. You The influence now is huge, so it’s not appropriate to invest too much energy in doing those things.”

He persuaded me earnestly.

In fact, he recently had a heated relationship with Luo Wei's ex-wife Liu Wenliang.

Bruce Lee said sincerely: "What you said, Raymond, makes sense. It's just that for the sixth movie, I still have a lot of ideas that haven't been combined. It's a bit messy."

Zou Wenhuai immediately said: "Speak out and let's communicate."

"good"

Immediately, the two chatted about the movie, and Bruce Lee finally agreed not to see Ding Pei anymore.

At the end, Bruce Lee asked: "How much can the stock of Golden Harvest Films rise?"

This time, he purchased 1.5 million Jiahe Film shares at a cost of only 90%.

"Don't worry, at least it can be doubled!"

Bruce Lee was surprised, and then said happily: "This time I really got it!"

"Haha, as long as you are satisfied!"

A few days later.

"Oriental Daily" published a piece of gossip news. There were photos of Bruce Lee, Linda and his wife talking and laughing with Ding Pei. The content did not say much. It just said that Mrs. Li visited Hong Kong and the couple invited their good friend Ding Pei to have dinner with them. Fans taking photos.

For a time, the news about Bruce Lee's marital infidelity was self-evident.

Even if it was an affair within marriage, Bruce Lee's wife Linda didn't mind, so what's the problem? It has only been a year since monogamy was abolished in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong citizens still have old ideas. As for overseas, few people care.

So this kind of little conspiracy played by Shaw Brothers movies is actually of no use!

The stock of Jiahe Film has not suffered any impact, not from the beginning; within one week of listing, the market value has reached 285 million Hong Kong dollars, with a premium of more than 40%, and its performance is remarkable.

This is mainly due to the fact that Bruce Lee's "Game of Death", which was invested in, has a strong box office and is expected to surpass the momentum of "Way of the Dragon".

Lin Zhichao took his men to the vicinity of Xiaochisha in Tseung Kwan O to check out the location of the ‘Jiahe Cinema’.

It was unlikely that he would choose the address of Golden Harvest Cinema in a residential area in Tseung Kwan O, so he chose Siu Chi Sha. In fact, Lam Chi-chao owns the 100-acre (600,000 square feet) Yangtze River Smelter in Tseung Kwan O, which will be developed into residential buildings when Tseung Kwan O's new town status is confirmed in the 1980s.

"How is this place?" Lin Zhichao asked everyone, pointing to the place in front of him.

"The permanent population of Tseung Kwan O is nearly 10,000. If Golden Harvest Cinema is built here, it will occupy a unique place. But for transportation, I am afraid we can only rely on buses, and there is no big highway. This is a big project!" Zou Wenhuai preached.

There are great difficulties, there is not even a road.

In later generations, Tseung Kwan O was developed only after its status as a new town was confirmed. The "Environmental Protection Avenue" here was also built at that time. At the same time, there were many reclamation projects in Tseung Kwan O in later generations, so the geographical map is different from the current one.

Lin Zhichao said: "When Shaw Brothers opened Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Clear Water Bay, it was also a big project. If we win this land, we can develop it slowly, and it will take more than ten years to complete the development. Maybe by then, this area will also It will become a gathering place for immigrants.”

In the beginning, it was just a movie set, and it will be developed in depth later.

The subordinates no longer have any doubts. After all, Jiahe Films is now a wealthy man, its stocks are well received by the market, and its profits are very high.

Li Ziduo finally suggested: "Boss, we don't have real estate experts here. How about hiring one from your Yangtze River Industrial Group to take charge of the overall situation?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I will find someone to join Jiahe Films later to be responsible for this project."

After Golden Harvest Films went public, Lin Zhichao also began to prevent Zou Wenhuai from becoming too powerful and decentralized power. Of course, Zou Wenhuai is still the well-deserved leader in terms of production and distribution, and few people interfere with him, except for Lin Zhichao who will provide some opinions.

And Chow Wenhuai should learn to be grateful. After all, he has worked at Shaw Brothers for so many years and his savings are less than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. In less than four years since he joined Golden Harvest Films, his net worth has increased about 20 times.

Back at the office of the media group, Lin Zhichao said to Zhao Yazhi: "Go to Miramar Hotel with me for dinner tonight!"

In a tone that almost refused to refuse, Lin Zhichao picked up the information on his desk and looked at it. Whether it is Oriental Publishing House, Oriental Newspaper, or Golden Harvest Films, they will send some manuscripts and materials to Lin Zhichao's office; if Lin Zhichao has any suggestions, he will call them, and if there is no suggestion, he will not respond.

Because of this, Lin Zhichao always has comics, daily newspapers, magazines, scripts, etc. on his desk. Every time he comes to the media group, he will ignore them regardless of whether he has finished reading them or not.

"Oh, just the two of us?" Zhao Yazhi held a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lin Zhichao.

She had become accustomed to Lin Zhichao's domineering attitude, and their relationship had also improved by leaps and bounds, except for the last step. Even so, Zhao Yazhi's current performance is that of a conquered woman.

Lin Zhichao raised his head and said: "It's a date, is there anyone else suitable?"

Zhao Yazhi immediately said shyly: "It's a date, I thought it was just for socializing!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "If I take you for entertainment, you're still close!"

Zhao Yazhi blurted out: "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhichao said playfully: "You will find out tonight!"

Zhao Yazhi suddenly thought of something, her face gradually turned rosy, and her breathing began to become heavier. The relationship between the two has completely reached that point, but this man doesn't seem to be impatient at all, could it be!

"Don't think too much, it's working time!"

"It's obviously you who's thinking!"

Seeing that the girl dared to talk back, Lin Zhichao couldn't help but laugh.

In any case, it should be harvested in eight months, and it will be slowly cultivated later. At present, Zhao Yazhi is just a young girl, but she still has good potential.

Helping others is the foundation of happiness, this is Lin Zhichao’s creed!

After a while, Luo Wenhui from Oriental Newspaper came to the office to report on his work. Lin Zhichao specifically asked Zhao Yazhi not to go out.

Luo Wenhui naturally didn't care about this, but reported his work seriously: "Boss, have you read the layout of the first issue of "FHM"?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "I just watched it! I think there is still a little problem. "FHM" is a soft and erotic men's magazine. The cover girl is a highlight, but I don't think we need to be as open as Playboy." , but should still hold the pipa and half-cover the face. For example, when I watch the first issue, I ask Ding Pei to take the photo. You can choose the clothing. In short, taking it off without leaking, being mysterious and mysterious is the highest state."

Zhao Yazhi blushed upon hearing this!

Luo Wenhui didn't care at all and started discussing it with his boss.

"I understand, we will prepare to officially launch the publication in September!"

"Well, the main income of this magazine is from selling advertisements, so we have to pay attention to the quality. And you also know that as long as the printing quality of the magazine is good, the advertisers will be happy and pay as much attention to it as the sales volume."

This is a strange imagination of Hong Kong publishing. Even if the sales of some magazines with good printing quality are not very high, advertisers are willing to invest their business in them.

Therefore, media groups have been investing heavily in printing equipment and the quality of workers.

"Okay, boss, don't worry. Regarding the overseas publication of "Oriental Daily", boss, what instructions do you have?"

Lin Zhichao said: "The six overseas cities that Chinese like to immigrate to are Vancouver, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, London, and Sydney, so we will publish the overseas version of "Oriental Daily" in these six cities. In the future, the global "Oriental Daily" International news can be shared through telex and other methods. Local news requires local reporters."

Luo Wenhui nodded and said, "Okay! We have recently started preparing the overseas editions of Oriental Daily in Vancouver and Toronto."

For many things, Lin Zhichao just starts from the beginning and then leaves them to his subordinates to do.

But the most important part of things is often the part that Lin Zhichao participated in. For example, the "Oriental Daily" he led was the first truly popular newspaper in Hong Kong. With its strong news gathering and editing staff and the news format of digest, it was the first newspaper in Hong Kong. Become the boss of Hong Kong's newspaper industry.

During this period, commercial means were used to widen the gap and firmly occupy the number one selling newspaper in Hong Kong. If this trend continues, in the mid-1970s, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" could reach more than 250,000 copies.

After Luo Wenhui left, Zhao Yazhi said: "I didn't expect such a big boss like you to know so much!"

Her eyes were sparkling, and her expression was one of admiration.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "At the beginning, you were probably still thinking that two men were playing hooligans, right?"

Zhao Yazhi blushed when he was told the central issue, but then said: "A little bit, but soon I saw from the two of you that it was professionalism."

As the two men discussed, Zhao Yazhi understood that this was a discussion between professionals, not that kind of discussion between men.

After get off work, Lin Zhichao took Zhao Yazhi through the Hung Hom Tunnel to the Miramar Hotel.

In Hong Kong, Miramar Hotel is one of the four major hotels along with Peninsula Hotel, Mandarin Hotel and Hilton Hotel. It is the only five-star hotel controlled by Chinese.

The Miramar Hotel is very popular among Chinese and tourists because it has many Chinese cultural characteristics. For example, its appearance is the moon-hole door-style windows of Chinese Jiangnan architecture. The hotel has various Chinese dramas and vaudeville performances. Tourists also like this style very much, just like nearly half of the tourists who come to Hong Kong will go to Songcheng at the "Lychee Garden Amusement Park".

Compared with the Miramar Hotel in its previous life, it is not only a higher level of luxury, but more importantly, the management and operation are also a higher level. As for profits, it is expected to exceed HK$20 million this year (1972).

Lin Zhichao took Zhao Yazhi to the restaurant of the suite and asked the hotel to prepare the dinner, when his sister Lin Xiner actually walked in.

"Why haven't you gotten off work yet?" Lin Zhichao said nonchalantly.

Lin Xiner, who is 39 years old this year, is already a mother of two children. She already looks like a mature young woman and is far less well-maintained than her two sisters-in-law. At the same time, Lin Xiner also had a successful career and served as the vice president of Miramar Hotel, relying on her own strength. Of course, she still did not obtain any company shares, she was just a manager of the Lin family.

After all, she was just a sister, not his own daughter, and Lin Zhichao couldn't bear to let her go.

Of course, although no shares were given, Lin Xiner also had a net worth of tens of millions, and received a lot of properties and cash as gifts. Just when he got married, Lin Zhichao probably spent more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars; when two nephews were born, Lin Zhichao also gave away Shops, high-end residences, cash, almost gave her another three million Hong Kong dollars; this time the Yangtze River Industrial Group went public, Lin Zhichao gave her another three million Hong Kong dollars, the opportunity to buy stocks at a low price, and she was the management of the Yangtze River Industrial Group with the most indicators.

"Brother Overtime, is this the new sister-in-law?" Lin Xiner said with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi was immediately embarrassed. She was old enough to be Lin Xiner's daughter, and Lin Xiner was very aura.

"I asked you to call me sister-in-law, can you say it out loud? This is my girlfriend Zhao Yazhi. Let's have dinner together today." Lin Zhichao said calmly.

Not to mention being caught by his sister, he is not afraid of being caught by his wife.

After some introduction, Lin Xiner took the initiative to toast Zhao Yazhi without any unusual behavior. She was used to it. Her brother had taken a Japanese girlfriend before, but she didn't know how long she could stay with her brother.

After a brief chat, Lin Zhichao walked his sister to the door in person.

"Brother, what a young and beautiful girl!"

"Your brother just likes this, don't talk to your sister-in-law!"

"Know it"

Lin Xiner made a stern promise.

Lin Zhichao patted his sister on the shoulder, then turned around. He still believed in his sister.

After returning to the room, Zhao Yazhi said: "Brother Zhichao, when I am with you, I look like a country girl. Your sister's aura is so strong!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "The woman I fancy will go through a process of growth and transformation. Okay, let's have dinner, don't think too much."

Zhao Yazhi suddenly felt happy. Of course she also longed to be a rich person.

Next, they share a luxurious dinner, dance to music, and finally the two of them are on a boat in the bedroom.

"Brother Chao, I'm a little nervous!"

Lin Zhichao knew that he would definitely be able to drink the soup. After all, it was the best age and the most legal age.

"Don't worry, just leave everything to me!"

"Um"
