Chapter 1596 New Year’s License Plate Auction

Gu Tianle had to rush back to accompany his grandmother in the hospital, so he didn't stay for dinner.

Because it was still early, Yin Jun did not tell him the next step for him.

After promoting "The Sixth Sense" in the United States, Louis Koo will star in another drama.

This drama is entirely about him as the protagonist, and it is also the movie that catapulted Gu Tianle into a hot new star.

Now Gu Tianle is 13 years old and will be 14 by the end of the year. If he doesn't make this movie, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to the role in the play.

And if this drama is as successful as Yin Jun expected, then Koo Tim Lok will be more confident in winning the role of "Terminator 2".

Of course, purely in terms of the popularity and popularity of the character, the little savior in "Terminator 2" is definitely not as good as the role he is about to play.

But because Yin Jun wanted Gu Tianle to cooperate with Cameron, so that he could truly become a world-class star under the leadership of Cameron, that's why he worked so hard.

After all, Yin Jun knew about Cameron's achievements.

For someone who will become the world's number one commercial director in the future, and who is also a person with a weird temper, it is best not to force him, but to let him do it willingly, so as to get the best results.

Otherwise, in the field of movies, Cameron would have the confidence to fall out with anyone.

Just like in the field of screenwriting, no one dares to force Yin Jun to make any changes to the script - even before Yin Jun established Qilin Culture, it was the same.

Wen Bixia had finished swimming long ago. When she saw Gu Tianle leaving, she smiled and took Yin Jun to the restaurant for dinner, and then the two of them sat in a Mercedes-Benz business car and headed down the mountain.

Yin Jun doesn't like to ride in luxury cars. The family's Rolls-Royce fleet is usually kept in the company as a public reception.

Le Yiling is a woman, and she is quite particular about enjoyment. However, when she is free, she drives the Porsche or Ferrari given to her by Yin Jun. When she goes to work, she usually drives a Bentley.

Wen Bixia deliberately asked for leave from the company today to accompany Yin Jun to an auction.

Yin Jun became richer and more powerful, but Wen Bixia, like him, became more and more easy-going and low-key.

Whether she is filming a movie, singing and performing in Happy Girls, or filming commercials and attending commercial events, Wen Bixia is the most gentle and generous person who will never act like a star.

But if you think Wen Bixia is weak and can be bullied, you are totally wrong.

In Xiangjiang, no one dares to say anything to bully Wen Bixia. Even reporters who have just entered the industry will definitely have Wen Bixia's name in the list of celebrities they should not mess with.

Wen Bixia didn't care and put on airs because there was no need.

As Yin Jun's younger sister, her status is all there. Who would pretend not to see it?

However, there is one thing about Wen Bixia that has never changed.

That's her hard work.

Filming, releasing records and concerts, commercial endorsements, etc., as long as it is a job that can make money, as long as it is in line with her status, she will let her agent take it.

Last year in 1983, the economy in Xiangjiang was extremely bad, but Wen Bixia earned more than 20 million, second only to Zhong Chuhong and higher than Guan Zhilin.

Yin Jun also told her not to work so hard, but Wen Bixia still worked so hard.

The reason is that Yin Jun naturally knows that Wen Bixia is afraid of poverty, so she works hard to earn money to provide herself and her family with more security.

A sensible child is naturally liked by everyone.

After Wen Bixia started filming, Yin Jun didn't give her any money, and he also wanted to cultivate her self-reliance spirit.

Tonight's auction is a New Year license plate auction organized by the Transport Department.

In recent years, as people's money has increased, they have gradually become more particular about cars and license plates.

In the past, license plates were applied for at will, but they were just ordinary numbers. All numbers within 1,000, and numbers ending with 6 or 8, were strictly controlled.

What if you want those good numbers?

Then take part in the Transport Department's annual New Year license plate auction.

In 1977, billionaire Yung Yung bought the No. 10 license plate for HK$206,000.

The next year, the year when Yin Jun came to Xiangjiang, Shao Yifu bought No. 6 for 330,000.

In the same year, Zhao Shizeng, the son of the shipping king, bought the No. 4 plate for 147,000.

In August last year, Yin Jun paid 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the license plate No. 3, which he now puts on one of his Rolls-Royces.

However, Yin Jun's No. 3 license plate was not obtained at a license plate auction, but at a charity gala.

If you want to get more and better license plates, you can only go to the Transport Department's own auction.

Others don't know the function of this license plate, but Yin Jun knows it very well.

Not to mention the mysterious sense of glory of the first ten numbers, even those auspicious numbers and numbers with special meanings are also valuable.

For example, Wang Fei's FEI license plate was photographed and given to her by Nicholas Tse in 2001 at a cost of HK$800,000.

In addition, the number 8888 belongs to Zheng Yutong. He spent 6 million to buy it in the 1990s.

But some numbers cannot be obtained with money.

For example, more than half of the top ten numbers have been sold, and the remaining numbers are also at sky-high prices. I don’t know when they will be sold.

The interest and enthusiasm in buying license plates are naturally related to the economic situation and people's pockets.

Due to the huge economic downturn that started in September of the previous year, the New Year's license plate auction in February last year only had a transaction amount of more than 5 million, and no one bought the best numbers.

From last year to this year, Hong Kong's economic situation has not improved at all, so many people are not optimistic about the Transport Department's New Year license plate auction this year.

The slightly better news is that during the Spring Festival this year, the wealthy Mr. Deng Zhaojian returned the No. 9 license plate he had received in his early years to the government.

With his consent, the Transport Department launched the No. 9 license plate this time, hoping to attract more people's attention.

With this gimmick, when Yin Jun's car arrived at the venue in the evening, he saw many familiar people.

The paparazzi's sharp eyesight and memory are completely superior to the police.

When they looked at the license plate from a distance, they knew that Yin Jun was coming, so they swarmed around and almost didn't let Yin Jun and Wen Bixia get out of the car.

That is to say, the bodyguards worked hard and a dozen people formed a circle to separate them.

"It's strange. Didn't there not be many people here today? Why are there so many paparazzi here?" Yin Jun asked curiously as he walked.

"Because several super-rich people came just now, so they rushed over." Shen Jianshe, who was next to him, replied.

After nodding, Yin Jun walked up the steps and saw Guo Desheng from Sun Hung Kai Properties.

"Mr. Guo." Yin Jun greeted politely.

"Master Jun, long time no see!" Guo Desheng smiled and shook hands with him, "When you are free in the next two days, let's go play a round of golf?"

Guo Desheng is a workaholic, but he also loves golf. Although he is 73 years old, he is in good health.

But Yin Jun knew that this old man would die in 6 years.

But for people born in that era, it is not a regret to live to be 79 years old.

"My skills are very poor. Uncle Zheng said last time that he never wanted to play with me again." Yin Jun said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, isn't his technique very good?" Guo Desheng laughed dumbly, "Take your time, you young people have strong learning ability. If you give it a few more years, you will definitely be able to play well."

The young man nodded slightly, "In that case, I will wait for Mr. Guo's call."

"good!"

Guo Desheng was obviously very satisfied with Yin Jun's attitude, and he smiled more.

Sun Hung Kai's trio, Fung King Hei, Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, all adopted a neutral stance and were not so close to Yin Jun.

That is to say, Henderson Land was acquired by Yin Jun. A large number of shares were acquired, and Li Zhaoji had to follow Yin Jun on a trip to Shanghai this time.

But that doesn't mean they don't want to do business with Yin Jun.

Feng Jingxi called Yin Jun many times and had dinner with Le Yiling several times, all with the purpose of getting the Kirin Group listed on his stock exchange.

Ahem, I have to say that Feng Jingxi's courage is really terrifying.

Even financial giants such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, and ABN Amro now dare not talk about listing the Kirin Group as a whole. They are just lobbying Yin Jun to let some of its subsidiaries go public first to test the waters.

However, Feng Jingxi wanted to handle everything at once, and he did not take into account the capacity of the Xiangjiang stock market, which could not accommodate the Kirin Group.

If Yin Jun is willing to let Kirin Group be listed in Xiangjiang, then it will be completely idiotic to list these high-quality assets at a discount!

Guo Desheng is in the real estate business, and there is no direct conflict between Sun Hung Kai and Kirin Real Estate. This is also because Kirin Real Estate has focused on construction in recent years, and several of their properties have been commissioned by Kirin Construction Company to build.

But when it comes to relationships, they are just acquaintances. Not to mention not as good as Li Chaoren and Zheng Yutong, not even Luo Yingsi.

He was talking to Yin Jun so enthusiastically today. It was obvious that he couldn't have suddenly changed his temper, and he must have some agenda.

As for what it is, you will know it when you play golf in a few days.

After leaving Guo Desheng, Yin Jun saw Li Zhaoji from Henderson Land Development, Hu Yinxiang from Hopewell Holdings, Wang Dehui from Chinachem Group, Chen Tinghua from Nan Fung Group, and even Chen Zhengxi, the chairman of Hang Lung, who was extremely disgusted with extravagance and waste. of people are here.

This surprised Yin Jun.

Is today's mission to buy license plates going to have another setback?

Didn’t I say before that no one is interested in these useless license plates?

"Buying a license plate is ridiculous! Aren't they here today because of your Lantau Island development plan?"

Finally, I met Zheng Yutong, and Sha Dantong's smooth words solved the mystery.
