Chapter 343. [Homecoming](1/2)

As a winner, Yi Feiyang's life is not easy. Not to mention the media reporters who block the door of his company and home every day and clamor to interview him. Representatives of North American theater companies come to him every now and then to intercede. I hope

He can terminate his contracts with major Internet companies, and it is best to cancel this very outdated online premiere model. The reasons are: first, the Internet can never replace movie theaters; second, making movies must be shown in movie theaters, not

Watch it on the Internet. Thirdly, although the Internet is convenient, it is very cheap. This is sorry for the people who make movies... In a word, the implication is, "If you insist on doing this, you will drive us to a dead end!"

Even the U.S. government was alarmed by this. After all, this is not a small matter. On a large scale, it affects the huge film tax revenue in the United States. You must know that Hollywood movies contribute an astonishing amount of tax revenue to the country every year.

One billion, this is definitely a very objective amount. If those movie theaters are really replaced by online videos, then many movie theaters will go bankrupt. Those lazy young people who like to stay at home will never leave again.

Entering movie theaters will reduce U.S. fiscal revenue and increase unemployment. Of course, it is impossible for the Internet to replace movie theaters, but it is inevitable that it will cause a series of serious blows to theater chains.

In order to prevent future troubles, the U.S. Department of Culture wrote to President George W. Bush that he should take immediate measures. Bush was about to have a talk with Yi Feiyang, but news came that Yi Feiyang was missing!

Yes, no one knows where Yi Feiyang went, but people around him said he was going out to relax.

It is understandable that after this battle, Yi Feiyang was exhausted. He should take a good rest. But it was not the right time for him to rest. Everyone was looking for trouble for him.

So where did Yi Feiyang go?

Reporters guess, media guess, movie fans guess, no one can guess...



Hong Kong September 10, 2002.

The climate in Hong Kong is very strange. The weather in September is as hot as June. Some people say it is the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, while others say it is the consequence of exhaust emissions. In short, the strange weather makes Hong Kong people full of anxiety and anxiety.

.And this kind of anxiety is a reflection of this generation of Hong Kong people.

At this moment, the warm sun is scorching the Central Avenue. There are not many people on the originally gorgeous and prosperous avenue. On the contrary, those expensive display windows reflect all kinds of luxury goods, such as designer bags,

Watches, clothing, even gold and silver jewelry...

Compared with the splendor of Central, some old buildings waiting for demolition nearby are like a patch on a gorgeous coat, which makes people uncomfortable.

Ah Fu is the owner of a corner convenience store in Mong Kok. He is just forty years old this year, an age when he has experienced the struggle of a man.

Nowadays, he is very satisfied. With this convenience store, he has no worries about food and clothing, his son is also doing well, he is ranked first in school every year, and his wife is also diligent. It is a good thing to serve the family. It can be said that Ah Fu is very satisfied.

He is also very happy, so he usually likes to lie on the cool bamboo chair, humming a little tune, and enjoy himself.

But today was different. He was looking outside with some trepidation, waiting for the guys who wanted to take everything away from him.

Suddenly, the door of the convenience store opened, and a tall and tall man walked in. The man wore sunglasses. From the moment he entered the convenience store, Ah Fu, who was peering outside, felt a burst of light coming from him.

Am I dazzled? How can there be light on a person? Ah Fu muttered in his stomach.

Maybe it's because the sun outside is too harsh.

The man walked straight to the convenience store freezer, opened it, took a bottle of beer, opened it, drank a few sips, and then took a pack of cigarettes and put them in his pocket. On the wall of the convenience store, there was actually a

A promotional advertisement for "Feiyang Restaurant Chain", but a large piece of the advertisement was torn off, and it looked nondescript.

"How come a large piece of this advertisement was torn off?" the man couldn't help but ask.

Ah Fu looked at the other party warily, "Why do you care about this?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just asking - if it's broken, just take it off, why is it still attached?" The man shrugged and asked doubtfully.

Ah Fu bravely asked, "Are you here to buy something?"

The man raised his beer and said, "Of course."

"Isn't it sent by Feiyang Company?"

"No...what is this Feiyang Company?"

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Ah Fu looked very nervous, "Don't let outsiders hear you!" Looking around, luckily there was no one around.

"Haha, are you afraid of them?" The man couldn't help but ask.

Ah Fu sighed, "When you say this, I know that you are not from Hong Kong, but from other places, right?" Ah Fu looked at the man, he was a very handsome young man. He also looked very stylish in sunglasses.

"Yes, I just came back from the United States."

"America? That's a great place..." Ah Fu sighed, "Did you know that the son of the owner of Feiyang Catering Company is also in the United States?"

"This Feiyang Company..."

"Well, it's actually a hot pot chain company. In just half a year, it has expanded from one store to thirty-eight stores. It's so fast that it's unbelievable!"

“Is this hotpot chain business really that good?”

"Bullshit! I have a baby son who is a big director in the United States and runs a movie company. He is so popular. Who in Hong Kong doesn't buy it? Especially those film and television stars, who are frequent visitors to these hot pot restaurants, just hope to attract

If you have a good relationship, you can enter Hollywood!" Ah Fu said angrily, "This is called, one person can reach heaven! In order to open such a hot pot restaurant, everything is going crazy! Did you see that Feiyang Company wants to take over?

We all drove away these old shops and built new ones..."

"Let's not talk about whether that hot pot restaurant is popular or not. I think it would be good to rebuild this place. You see, your store is incompatible with the surroundings. People have to move on, right?" The man couldn't help but say.

road.

"I understand what you're saying..." Ah Fu said with a bitter smile, "If it's just demolished and rebuilt, it's fine, but the amount of compensation they paid is too low. For a small store like mine, just ask anyone.

Q. It’s worth over a million, mainly because of the good location, but that hotpot chain store is only willing to pay half a million!”

"No way, so few?" The man was a little surprised, "As far as I know, the boss of that company won't be so stingy!"

"We thought the same way at first. His precious son has made so much money in the United States, and it's all in U.S. dollars. Why would he care about such a small amount of money? But the fact is that those who repossessed the property were only willing to pay us so much! And they even threatened us.

, if we continue to refuse to move, we will bear the consequences!" Ah Fu became more and more angry as he spoke.

"You bear the consequences? What do you mean?"

"What does "possible" mean? Of course, you can find some desperate young and Dangerous guys to pour paint on, pour lard on, or even set fire to the house!"

"No way, it's so serious!"

"Why not? These rich people are so virtuous, they eat people without spitting out their bones!" Ah Fu cursed. He didn't realize that the man looked embarrassed at all.

"Maybe you are just guessing. I don't think things will be so bad..."

"Tch, this matter doesn't fall on you, of course you can stand and talk without pain!" Ah Fu looked at the other party with contempt, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I still have to do business! One bottle of beer, one box

The cigarettes cost fifty yuan in total!”

The man chuckled, and then went to pick his pockets, but immediately, he felt embarrassed, because he was used to being followed by others, and he went out without carrying a wallet, etc., but now, he was really embarrassed!

Ah Fu is a very perceptive person. He guessed it as soon as he saw the person's appearance. "Look, you are quite tasteful in your dress. Why, you don't even have fifty yuan?"

"Sorry, I forgot to bring it." The man was quite honest and told the truth.

Ah Fu nodded, "I've heard this sentence many times about running a small business..."

The man's face turned red, he thought for a moment, then he took off a watch on his wrist and said: "This watch is mortgaged here first, and I will have someone bring the money to pick it up later!"

Ah Fu took the watch and muttered: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's fine if it's only three to five yuan, but fifty yuan is enough for half a day's rent for me... Ouch, it's from Longines, it's a street vendor, I guess.

I also bought it for my wife, and it cost three to four hundred yuan. This one is quite good, and it looks like the real thing!" Ah Fu looked at the watch, then handed it back to the man and said, "You'd better take this watch.

Go back, I'll give you fifty yuan if I'm in need of help. If you're interested, just send it to me..."

That man couldn't laugh or cry, because his specific Longines watch worth millions turned out to be a fake worth two to three hundred dollars on the street stall... It was so sad.

I had no choice but to put the watch that the other person refused to take back on my wrist. Then the man said: "Don't worry, I don't like to owe people money. I will definitely deliver it."

"As long as you have the intention!" Ah Fu was very generous.

While he was talking, he saw three people walking over. One of them had a fat head and big ears, with a thick gold chain hanging around his neck, looking like a nouveau riche. The other two were obviously followers.

When the fat guy saw Ah Fu, he shouted: "Have you thought about it? Are you going to move out voluntarily, or are you waiting for us to throw you out ourselves?"

Ah Fu was obviously afraid of this group of people and said timidly: "The main reason is that the compensation you gave is too small!"

"Half a million is too little? Old guy, don't you see how powerful our Feiyang is. I'll drive you out when the time comes and I won't give you a cent!" shouted a younger brother.

The fat man with big ears actually smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, be impatient! I said I wouldn't bring you here to do things, and I looked at you and scared my uncle... Are you okay, uncle?"

The fat man took out his handkerchief and wiped Ah Fu's forehead teasingly, "Tsk, tsk, I'm sweating!"

"No, it's really because the money you gave me is too little!"

"Uncle, I've given you enough respect, don't be ignorant!" The kind fat-headed and big-eared man immediately changed his expression and patted Ah Fu's face with his hand.

Just when the fat man was showing off his power, someone grabbed his hand.

"Hey, friend, he already said that the money he paid was too little and he didn't want to sell it, so don't embarrass him anymore!"

The fat man looked at this guy who didn't speak fluent Cantonese and had an American accent, "Who are you?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Passer-by!"

"Passers-by? Then don't meddle in other people's business!" The fat man snorted coldly, while the two boys around him grinned and rubbed their hands.

"What if I say no?"

"Then I'll beat you until you lose your teeth!"

Before the two younger brothers could take action, the man punched and kicked like lightning, and screamed twice. One younger brother was kicked out and the other one was punched and squatted on the ground.

The speed is too fast. As fast as lightning!

The fat man who often watches "Heroes of China" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate" knows that he has met a master.
