Someone who's well-connected can get things done.

It wasn't easy to compile real-time box office statistics in this day and age. However, since it was Su Yehao's business, everyone was willing to give him face.

Even people on the mainland, who were on holiday for the Lunar New Year, specifically asked those on duty to say hello, and they summarized the sales situation overnight, reporting the data as soon as possible.

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Many media outlets in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan released news, announcing that the first-day box office of *The Myth*, excluding Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea, totaled as much as HKD 66 million.

Hong Kong and Casino, 1997 combined contributed more than HKD 17 million in one day, and Taiwan also had about HKD 11 million. The rest was all supported by mainland audiences.

This was just a trivial matter, and no one would call Su Yehao late at night because of this news. When he saw the news in the newspaper, he was slightly surprised.

Because the box office on the first day of its release in the mainland was almost seven times that of the second place, it was able to reach as high as HKD 37 million. This was more than double what Su Yehao had expected. He originally thought that about HKD 15 million would be good enough.

Currently, the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and RMB is about 100 Hong Kong dollars for 106 RMB. The Hong Kong dollar is slightly more valuable, which means that when converted into RMB, the box office will appear to be higher, almost reaching 40 million RMB.

Last night, he had dinner with his second concubine, and Jiang Yu and Nangong Tian each went home.

As for Su Yehao, he secretly went to accompany Yin Liuli, who had returned to Casino, 1997 for the Lunar New Year. No time was wasted, everyone was happy, and he was a proper management master.

Not only that.

He also bought the two villas next to Yin Liuli's as his own residences in Casino, 1997, so that even appearing openly in front of his neighbors seemed reasonable, and he no longer had to hide.

Probably afraid of disturbing Su Yehao's sleep, Nangong Tian called him at 8:30 a.m., excitedly telling him:

"Did you see the newspaper? Our movie is a smash hit in the mainland! I knew that *Titanic* could generate more than 300 million at the box office, which means that there are moviegoers in the mainland, but what's lacking is how to attract them!"

Without Su Yehao telling her, Yin Liuli went to the kitchen to clean the dishes, taking the initiative to avoid the conversation.

Su Yehao answered through his mobile phone, "Isn't that great? It shows that the decision to invest in and operate a chain of cinemas in the north was correct, and the film and television industry does have market potential. I've already seen the newspaper. Today's box office data is also crucial. Keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about you."

"Yes, the second wave of promotion has already begun. Thanks to your public relations team for their help. They've greeted many TV stations and newspapers. I'll treat them to dessert when I get back to Hong Kong."

After the little girl happily finished speaking, she asked, "Where are you now?"

"I'm on Taipa Island. My room at home hasn't been lived in for a long time, so I'm temporarily staying here. You should spend more time with your mom at home during the holidays. She's also very bored when she's alone."

After saying these words.

Out of guilt, Su Yehao also peeked at Yin Liuli to prevent her from hearing and figuring out his usual excuses.

Although some things were already understood, in order to take care of the girls' emotions, it was still necessary to cover things up, and at the same time, avoid damaging his image in their minds.

The little girl didn't think much about it. When she heard Taipa Island, she naturally assumed it was the Su family's golf club. The surrounding environment was particularly good, and it was normal to go there to rest.

Her voice continued to come through the phone:

"That's what I thought too. Taking advantage of the company's holiday, I'm going to stay with my mom for a few days this time. You should also go see your son more often, so that I don't get accused of being too greedy and monopolizing you. Some of my old friends are on winter vacation and are looking for me to go shopping in Casino, 1997. I might go back to Hong Kong in three or four days."

"Is that so? Okay, remember to have Andy Lau and Ms. Yoyo Mung accept more interviews with reporters. During the Lunar New Year, there's no competition in the entertainment news section. The greater the promotion, the higher the box office tends to be."

Su Yehao had just finished speaking, and then added:

"Oh, right, there's also the release work in the European and American markets. I'll help you ask about it first. I originally thought there would be a cultural gap, but after watching it yesterday, I found that it seems to be the kind of adventure and treasure hunt that foreigners like. Is there an English dub?"

"Yes, but it seems that no local Hong Kong films have achieved particularly outstanding results in Hollywood. Jackie Chan's films were invested and filmed by Hollywood."

"Don't worry about these things, I'll help you think of a way. I'm not talking anymore, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat first..."

...

Pockmarked Jun's home was in Casino, 1997. Taking advantage of the Lunar New Year, he also came back with his wife. He contacted Su Yehao and said that he was going to Thailand for a trip and brought a gift with him.

Su Yehao asked him what kind of gift it was, and Pockmarked Jun replied that he brought an egg.

When Su Yehao arrived at Pockmarked Jun's house, he realized... it really was an egg!

A macaw's egg was already making slight movements, and it was said that it would hatch in the next few days.

Now there was no shortage of food and drink at home, and antiques and art were nothing special. Such a unique and special gift could make Su Yehao's eyes light up and feel particularly interesting.

At this moment.

He reached out and touched the bird's egg in the incubator, vaguely noticing some movement.

The macaw's egg was slightly larger than a pigeon egg and slightly smaller than a chicken egg, and it was continuing to be cultivated under the warm light.

Su Yehao asked with interest:

"I remember there are many colors of macaws. I used to see them in Thailand, and later I also encountered them once in the Panjiayuan Flower and Bird Market in Si Jiucheng. Unfortunately, I didn't buy them, mainly because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to raise them well."

"Hyacinth macaw. I asked the seller, and they said it's quite easy to raise. The breeding license is in Thai, which really tricked me. I was almost stopped at the airport and accused of illegally trading in wild animals. Fortunately, the artificial breeding certificate was fine. I met a kind Thai passenger who helped me translate."

Pockmarked Jun seemed much more mature after getting married.

He started helping his family from the second half of last year, renovating several old apartment buildings in Casino, 1997.

It can only be said that the rich have rich ways to invest, and the poor also have poor ways to invest.

Ever since he heard Su Yehao mention that the housing prices in Casino, 1997 were likely to rise sharply, Pockmarked Jun and his family were convinced and sold their property to speculate on houses in advance.

The words "rise sharply" that he heard from Su Yehao were different from what ordinary people said. Even if they had to sell everything, they would invest.

They didn't have the strength to directly acquire land from the government, but buying some old buildings in good locations and renovating them, his family could barely afford it, at the cost of giving the bank some interest money.

Pockmarked Jun's wife brought coffee, and Su Yehao got up and said with a smile:

"This gift is really good, I especially like it. When I heard you say on the phone that you brought me an egg, I thought you were complaining that I hadn't contacted you for a long time. To be honest, I've been so busy lately."

"You accidentally even had a son, and you're still doing so much business. Who would be busy if you weren't?"

After saying that with a smile, Pockmarked Jun said with emotion, "Everyone is quite busy now. Ho Siu Faan has gone to work for your dad, carrying his bag. Chuk Gan is making coffee for people in his family's accounting firm. I'm just messing around all day."

After listening.

Feeling that something was strange, Su Yehao said speechlessly:

"The way you say it, the taste has changed. It sounds like it's very miserable, but it's clearly all in preparation for inheriting the family property... Oh, right, *The Heirs*, the second part of *Boys Over Flowers* is called this, right? Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown, or something like that..."
