Tao Liangchen
Chapter 351 Chang'an Clubhouse
During the conversation with Section Chief Yao, Su Yehao asked Linda Yun to help record the procedures and documents needed.
The procedures were a bit troublesome, and he wasn't planning on handling them personally, only responsible for opening up channels.
There were no issues with the film itself, and probably no issues with the procedures either. Learning that there was still a chance to catch the summer档 (dàng - release window) if he hurried, Su Yehao was especially happy.
Su Yehao didn't care at all whether the invested film made a profit or a loss.
What he cared about was that with the release of the film, he could help tAt advertise in the mainland market.
Even if it couldn't attract many netizens in the short term, it was important to first instill the concept of "tAt instant messaging" software.
If someone saw tAt online in the future and had the thought, "Oh, I know it," then it would definitely attract more users. The brand's influence would give tAt the opportunity to go higher and further. This was much more important than making money from investing in a movie.
When he left, he agreed with Section Chief Yao to dig up the tree in the evening, still calculated at a price of 20,000 yuan.
Considering that the old rose had a large crown and a beautiful shape, Su Yehao didn't think he was at a loss by buying it at this price, simply treating it as making a friend.
Section Chief Yao was a little worried, afraid that he might make a mistake.
Thinking about it carefully, this deal had been negotiated before, and it was negotiated with other people in the courtyard first, so it had nothing to do with him.
Faced with the five thousand yuan about to be distributed, Yao Ke was thinking about buying a new TV. In the end, he didn't say anything, only thinking that he couldn't mention today's events to the people in the courtyard, lest something small turn into something big, and nothing turn into something.
Su Yehao remembered that when he was in school, the school would organize activities such as watching movies and writing movie reviews.
Since it was an advertising movie, and the user group of tAt instant messaging software was very young, he naturally had the idea of adding his movie to the school's movie-watching activities.
Thinking about it again, he felt that this kind of thing was more troublesome, thinking about arranging some people to help run the relationship, even if he had to pay some money, it didn't matter, anyway, movie tickets in the mainland were quite cheap now.
…
With the serious business finished.
Su Yehao had already arranged his flight for tomorrow, and his trip to Silicon Valley had not changed.
Just as an old rose was added to the courtyard, and the tree had not yet been planted, he received a call from his father, and went to the Chang'an Club, saying that he was going to have a meal with several Hong Kong City businessmen.
After Nong Qingying finished packing up, the two came to the entrance of the hutong (traditional alleyway), got in the car, and drove towards East Chang'an Street.
When they entered the club, they saw that the interior decoration was resplendent and magnificent.
It was a membership-based club. After waiting at the door for a while, Su's father arranged for someone to lead them in.
Nong Qingying was a little flustered at the moment, and said in a low voice, "Why don't I go back first, or you go to dinner, and I'll get a massage here? I just saw it on the billboard, massages are 2888 yuan."
In an instant, Su Yehao began to wonder if the so-called massage was a proper massage.
Considering the level of this club, and the special location, he thought the possibility of it being proper was relatively high. After all, he had never been here before, so he could only rely on guessing.
Eating with his father's friends was not like meeting Party A or clients. Su Yehao spoke casually and calmly: "There's no need, it's just a meal. With my dad around, who would care about us? Just eat as much as you want."
Nong Qingying hesitated, and after a moment of distress, she said again, "Are they all businessmen from Hong Kong City? I'm worried they'll recognize me."
"...Oh, it's okay. It doesn't matter if people find out, anyway, I'm not afraid."
Suddenly realizing, Su Yehao often forgot that Nong Qingying had married into the Xue family.
Although it was just a fake marriage, other people didn't know the ins and outs, so it was no wonder Nong Qingying didn't want to show her face with him.
Thinking about seeing the world, after coming in, she found that it was similar to Xiao Nizi's Liren Royal Court Club.
As one of the most high-end clubs in Siheyuan (Beijing), the Chang'an Club is the first choice for many people to host banquets. This kind of place is similar to the Hong Kong City Jockey Club and the Shek O Country Club. The high-end aspect is not in the buildings and facilities themselves, but the members and customers are the key.
Su Yehao didn't have many acquaintances in Siheyuan (Beijing), and was directly led into the dining room by his father's assistant. The area was hundreds of square meters, the dining table was quite large, the floor was covered with carpets, and it was resplendent and magnificent.
Some people had already arrived.
Taking a quick glance, he really saw two familiar faces, namely the major shareholders of Hong Kong City New World and Sun Hung Kai Properties, whose strength was much stronger than Sihai International.
Su's father sat at the dining table, smiling and introducing: "My son, Su Yehao, come and say hello to your uncles and aunts. He's not young anymore, it's time to bring you out to mix things up, so you don't recognize them if you meet them on the street."
Su Yehao looked around and greeted them one by one.
A middle-aged man engaged in the hotel and real estate business, in his forties, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a beaded necklace around his neck, smiled and said:
"Young Master Su is really not simple. I was also a little interested in that piece of land in Lujiazui, but later I found out that you had bought it. Among the people here, the son of the Su family is the most capable, does everyone have any objections?"
"No objection, of course no objection. My sons and daughters only know how to ask for money. Young Master Su makes a lot of money from investments from time to time. The last time he was on the cover of a magazine, I could only shrink in the corner of one of the pages."
An elderly man said.
A woman next to him smiled and interjected: "Kai-ye (Old Master Kai), you're old, who's as popular as young men? Come, come, Young Master Su, sit next to your father. Next time, introduce my son to you, let him learn from you how to make money..."
Everyone chimed in, giving the Su family and his son enough face.
Nong Qingying actually saw an acquaintance who was very close to "former mother-in-law" Aunt Hua. At this time, she was very embarrassed.
However, the other party didn't speak, and she pretended not to recognize her, silently sitting next to Su Yehao, regretting that she should have gone for a massage just now, and why she joined in the fun.
Su's father's foundation was still thick, and now his son had made a fortune, and his strength was here. He mingled with the many Hong Kong businessmen present.
Listening to others praising Su Yehao, the father laughed heartily, only saying that his ancestral grave was smoking, and he used to worry about him a lot.
After taking a seat.
Su Yehao asked, "So many people have come, is there a chance to make a lot of money recently?"
"Yes, several old buildings on this street are about to be demolished. A land auction will be held in three days. In addition, there are many residential land plots, and the total value may be 10 billion."
Su's father looked calm, sighed and said, "I really can't squeeze out any money, otherwise even I would want to join in the fun. Some places have such good locations that there's no worry about finding tenants."
After listening.
Su Yehao finally understood why the heads of New World and Sun Hung Kai Properties had personally come out. Involving land acquisition projects of several hundred million or billions, it was indeed worth coming to take a look.
This had nothing to do with him. He sat and drank tea, waiting for the banquet to begin. Listening to the elders chat was also very interesting...
