Chapter 216 A new era of martial arts movies, The One-Armed Swordsman is released (more updates, please vote)
After hearing the bizarre remarks made by Wang Danfeng and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Hui became so angry that their chests began to heave.

What is the beautiful coalition theory?
If this really happened, can John still control Hong Kong?
Do you really think that John’s country’s warships are made of paper?

As for the Hong Kong window theory, it is even more absurd.

Only when Hong Kong is truly and thoroughly under control can trade be unimpeded, unlike now, when it is suppressed and exploited by the United States, the Hong Kong authorities, and even members of social organizations.

Shi Hui immediately knew that Wang Danfeng and his wife must have been bewitched by someone!
The enemy has infiltrated everywhere.

There is still a long way to go!
But she did not refuse outright. Instead, she praised it against her will as a true insight.

Wang Danfeng was extremely happy and felt that she had saved her good friend and benefactor.

Shi Hui directly asked: Can she meet with the friend who came up with this idea? She wanted to thank him in person.

Wang Danfeng and his wife looked at each other. They could see that they didn't have the ability and knew there was a master behind them.

So Wang Danfeng suggested making an appointment with her friends to get together.

Then the couple waited for Wang Yuanchao at Longpu Villa. Wang Yuanchao came here almost every day to see the decoration of his house, as if nothing was wrong.

Wang Yuanchao was surprised by the couple's invitation.

"Why thank me? I didn't mean to help others. I just wanted to help you."

Wang Danfeng said directly:

"Have you heard of the three princesses of the Great Wall? Shi Hui is the second princess of the Great Wall, and the eldest princess is Xia Meng, but unfortunately she went to Maple Leaf Country not long ago."

She knew the preferences of the young man in front of her. They had no way to deal with money, but as for beautiful women, there were plenty of them in the film industry.

Oh?
The three princesses of the Great Wall?
As famous as Xia Meng!

Even if Xia Meng has no chance to meet him, it’s okay for her to meet the second princess.

He was purely curious and wanted to see what level of talent could have made Mr. Jin Yong so obsessed, right?
So Wang Yuanchao changed the subject and said shamelessly:

“I have never heard of the Third Princess of the Great Wall, but I have seen the Third Princess of the Liu Family with my own eyes.

Since uncle and aunt have promised others, I don't want you to break your promise.

It’s okay for us to have a meal together.”

This child speaks very nicely!
The third princess of the Liu family, hahaha!
They are indeed three beautiful little princesses.

……

Wang Yuanchao finished the second batch of transactions with the foreign trade company at the end of July, and the quantity of this batch reached 7 units!

If nothing unexpected happens, the output in August should be over 8.

The fission of small factories is still useful.

Net profit: US$12.

Wang Yuanchao also found out the business contact person of the foreign trade company and spent 20,000 US dollars to establish a deep friendship with the other party.

If it’s one or two thousand yuan, people might refuse it, but if it’s twenty thousand yuan, Horton can’t refuse it.

He calls himself a partner and a shareholder, but in fact he is just a senior worker with some shares.

This is all the information Wang Yuanchao arranged for people to find out by all means:
Horton kept a concubine here who liked to play mahjong. He didn't use any tricks, he just took a knife and answered every question, and he knew everything.

And this mistress betrayed Horton's information. No one knew who got it, and she didn't dare to tell Horton. Who knows what the consequences would be! She was not Horton's first mistress.

According to what Horton said outside his house, Wang Yuanchao made a comprehensive calculation, and his goal was to offer Horton a friendship that he could hardly refuse.

Horton's annual dividend is only $5.

If this is 2 per month, that’s nearly 30 per year!

It’s more than half of his dividends and salary!

How to refuse?

Of course, he also knew that it was the current high price of electric fans that led to Shenlan's deep friendship.

But since the price has gone up because of the scenery, we can’t let it fall easily later. Even if it has to fall, it has to be as late as possible!
Everyone knows this simple truth.

He immediately said that he would refuse to purchase other fans and only purchase the dark blue fans to express his extra sincerity.

But in fact, this is also a blank check. Whose products will be accepted? Shell has stopped production and cannot deliver goods!

But no matter what, this attitude can be considered a pleasant surprise.

Wang Yuanchao originally just wanted to form a community of interests with the other party.

The scenery of Hong Kong has not yet seen its end. He is worried about the foreign trade companies, and they must not go to Japan and South Korea to purchase goods.

Horton said:
"The head office didn't react that quickly. They have to wait until after the new year to prepare the annual financial report before they can think about why the profit has dropped. Further research and a resolution may have to be made in the second half of next year!
We can sign a longer contract. Even if we need to change the contract in the middle, we should provide some compensation measures. In short, we can’t let my friend suffer a big loss.”

Horton's move is completely in compliance with company rules and regulations.

However, if it weren't for Wang Yuanchao's deep friendship, Horton would have actually started looking for sources in South Korea. The subjective initiative of the front-line managers is within their authority. But now, Horton has no motivation to help the company save a few dollars on the price difference of a fan.

The price in South Korea, including labor and taxes, is only three to five dollars lower than in Hong Kong. Now it seems that it is not worth the hassle at all!

Without this deep friendship, the honeymoon period between Shenlan and the foreign trade company would probably not last long.

Because Horton raised the price of motors, Shell turned to purchasing most of the motors from a trading company in Japan. As a result, Horton did not purchase the 2000 fans produced.

They said, you not only refused to purchase my motors but also changed suppliers and refused to purchase from me.

Shell was dumbfounded. Its boss Weng Hu came out to negotiate in person, hoping that Shell would be willing to lower the price because of their long-term partnership.

Horton said:
"If Shell can provide 2 units per month, we can continue to cooperate. Otherwise, if the new supplier finds out, where will we buy enough goods? We have an exclusive supply agreement with them!
We must have a spirit of contract.

We can’t afford to suffer big losses just because we are greedy for a small advantage from Clam Shell! "

2 units per month was definitely not a problem for Shell in the past. But isn’t the problem now the scenery of Hong Kong? Without a clear result, who has the ability to fully arrange production?
Weng Hu immediately thought of Wang Yuanchao. After all, it was he who proposed the suggestion of dispersing production.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Is it Mr. Wang?"

Horton glanced at Weng Hu and said calmly:
"Business secrets, no comment!"

Seeing that Horton was unmoved, Weng Hu contacted Wang Yuanchao again.

Wang Yuanchao did not deny it, and said frankly that he did get a large order from Horton, because the motors were also sourced from there, and the prices of motors and other components also increased significantly, but in fact he still earned the same hard-earned money.

Weng Hu was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone. Even if it was hard-earned money, it was Shell’s hard-earned money!

No wonder Horton doesn't buy Shell fans anymore, they just can't stand seeing Shell making a lot of money! Foreign bastards! None of them are good.

Shell had no choice but to find another channel. There are also distributors in Hong Kong.

However, Hong Kong's local industrial market has shrunk greatly, leaving only the civilian market.

The civilian market was also flooded with the production capacity of small factories such as Longsheng in the early stage. Otherwise, how could these small factories be so obedient to help Shenlan process parts? I can only say that there are various reasons!
Of course, we can cooperate with other foreign trade companies, but Shell has never cooperated with them before, and its attitude towards them is very average. Moreover, the price will definitely not be more than 200 yuan.

On July 7, Chang Cheh's "One-Armed Swordsman" was released, setting off a wave of movie-watching frenzy.

Speaking of which, Chang Cheh has a connection with the Liu family. He once worked as a screenwriter at the Liu family's Cathay Pictures.

Of course, that was all. Because at that time, Liu Heqing was just a playboy at home, and the two only knew each other's names, and had never met each other in person.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Heqing's eldest daughter has grown up to this age.

The curfew has been lifted during this period, and things seem to be peaceful and prosperous again.

So, um, the Liu family invited Wang Yuanchao to come out and watch this movie which had been showing for almost a week.

At that time, it was still called a theater. The front seats cost 1 yuan, the middle seats cost 5 yuan, and the back seats cost 1 yuan, including 8 yuan in tax. This price was exactly the opposite of the price when watching a play.

When watching a movie, you have to stay far away; when watching a play, you have to stay close.

They arrived late and only the back seats had tickets left, but it didn't matter as the few dollars weren't a big deal.

While waiting, Wang Yuanchao strolled around and looked at the movie promotional posters.

The male lead, Wang Yu, has a look, temperament and style that Wang Yuanchao finds hard to describe: he is neither handsome nor manly.

I don’t know the first female lead, Jiao Jiao.

The second female lead is Pan Yingzi. Hmm, he looks familiar with her. She is the Empress Wu Zetian and Empress Dayuer, known as the immortal witch. Wow, I haven’t seen her appearance when she was young!
But judging from the poster, there seems to be no difference between when he was young and when he was older.

Wang Yuanchao's attention to the second female lead far exceeds that of the movie itself.

Movies are simple:
The hero Qi Rufeng took in Fang Gang (the male protagonist), the son of Fang Cheng, a servant who sacrificed his life to save him, and taught him martial arts, and wanted to make him the head of the sect.

Qi Rufeng's daughter Qi Pei (Pan Yingzi) is unable to fall in love with Fang Gang, so she joins forces with her senior brother to compete with Fang and plot against him.

Fang Gang's right arm was chopped off and he fled injured, but was rescued by a girl named Xiao Man (another female protagonist). He then practiced the "Left Hand Atlas" left by Xiao Man's father and became a master of the left-handed magic sword.

Later, Rufeng was avenged by his enemies, Smiling Erlang and Long-armed Demon God, his disciples were killed, and Qi Pei was imprisoned.

In the midst of danger, Fang Gang put aside his past grudges and rescued Qi Pei with Xiao Man, killed Smiling Er Lang, the Long-armed Demon and his followers, and rescued his master. Afterwards, the two of them traveled far away together.

The pictures are crude, the actions are quaint, and the plot is old-fashioned. Wang Yuanchao watched the film purely out of curiosity, but he still managed to enjoy it.

Compared with other audiences who were sometimes nervous and sometimes cheering, he seemed calm.

The plot was so simple that he could guess the next move!

But in the eyes of Liu Heqing and Wang Danfeng, Wang Yuanchao is calm and has a maturity and sophistication that is not commensurate with his age.

After all, even the couple would occasionally pay close attention and immerse themselves in it. It is truly a rare and excellent film.

Liu Heqing sighed:

"Director Chang Cheh is going to be famous!"

Wang Yuanchao asked directly:

"How much does it cost to shoot a movie like this?"
