Chapter 1029 Sister Mei and Brother
After seeing Uncle Six, Yang Dongxu stayed at the Peninsula Hotel and didn't have any meetings with anyone. He just ate and drank and wandered around every day.
For example, he was knocked down in Causeway Bay today and had dinner with Jackie Chan, and tomorrow he was drinking tea with Stephen Chow in Tsim Sha Tsui. Then he went to the mountains with Andy Lau and others for a barbecue.
In short, when some paparazzi wanted to secretly take some gossip about big stars, they could always accidentally take pictures of him, a young man who looked ordinary and had a sense of mystery.
Some tabloids kept discussing who he was, and some people speculated unreliably whether the entertainment company in Hong Kong was preparing to promote newcomers. So let him hang around these big names to make them familiar.
And his arrival naturally made some people feel uneasy, and many bigwigs of entertainment companies paid close attention. His family's life has become more and more difficult in recent years. The box office of the movie seems to be hot, but there are no more blockbuster movies that can make a lot of money every year.
But Haina Company can make a lot of money every year. So Yang Dongxu came to Hong Kong this time and came into contact with so many big-name artists. Do you feel that you are enjoying eating meat while they are enjoying soup, and are ready to let them go to drink the northwest wind?
Of course, some people are wary and hostile, and naturally some people are relieved. For example, those who have invested heavily in the stock market, and some well-informed stock managers.
These days, these people's nerves can be said to be extremely tense, and some radical people are already considering. If the stock market crash in 1997 happens again, he will jump off the building.
Now that they see Yang Dongxu coming, they can undoubtedly sleep well, although Yang Dongxu has not come to Hong Kong before. Affected by the plunge of the US stock index, the Hong Kong stock market has experienced some fluctuations, but under the intervention of the banker and the government, the market is very stable and nothing has happened.
Yang Dongxu's arrival did not see the stock index that had fallen slightly in the past few days rise back, but as long as they saw him. Some well-informed people inexplicably put their hearts back in their stomachs.
"You came to Hong Kong without saying hello. Do you not plan to see me if I don't come to you?" Sister Mei looked at Yang Dongxu unhappily in the coffee shop of the Peninsula Hotel.
"Sister, you really wronged me when you said this. I thought you and my brother were living together in some beautiful place in the motherland. How dare you call to disturb me? I really didn't know you were also in Hong Kong." Yang Dongxu smiled bitterly.
This was indeed his negligence. He really didn't expect Mei Jie to be in Hong Kong at this time. Not only was she in Hong Kong, but my brother was also there, sitting next to her and watching Mei Jie scold Yang Dongxu with a smile.
After experiencing a serious illness, Mei Jie seemed to have become more open-minded. Unlike those big-name artists in Hong Kong, they were obviously in love and were captured by many reporters, but they refused to admit that they were in love.
Mei Jie was very generous about the relationship between herself and her brother. Although she didn't stand up to make an official announcement, she never refuted the reports and inquiries of some reporters and admitted it generously.
And my brother has been teaching in the past few years, and he is with a group of innocent children every day. There are not so many intrigues, and there are no right and wrong and annoying paparazzi. Reports.
His heart has also completed a nirvana, and the whole person does not look as melancholy as before. The smile also looks much more cheerful, and she will not take things to heart when facing some things.
The two can be said to have been reborn and finally got together. The last step is to get married, and Yang Dongxu is ready to introduce Zhuo Qing'er to them and find a time to pick wedding dresses.
"Look, this is the capitalist who oppresses us. He walks around every day, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, and doesn't even know whether his employees are dead or alive." Sister Mei looked at Yang Dongxu and snorted, but there was a smile on her lips.
She is also a person who has died once. When a person has experienced life and death and comes to do hot pot again, she finds that there is nothing to be disappointed about in the past. After all, she faced death calmly and started to prepare for the funeral. What else can't be overcome?
"Okay, I surrender. Sister Mei, if you have anything to say, just say it. I was wrong this time. I will never refute whatever you say." Yang Dongxu quickly raised his hand to surrender.
Sister Mei gave him a look that said you know what's good for you.
"It's nothing big. I haven't filmed much in the past two years due to health reasons, and my brother hasn't filmed much due to his own reasons. My brother has plans to retire, and I don't really care about my career development. I have already started discussing the termination of the contract with the company, as well as the copyright issues of some previous works and songs."
"Is it the agency behind you that has made things difficult for you? The company told me that I will help you negotiate. According to the contract, they should pay as much liquidated damages as they should, but we should follow the rules and they can't go too far." Yang Dongxu took it over directly.
"It's not a matter of liquidated damages and contract termination." Sister Mei smiled at Yang Dongxu with relief. This brother was not recognized in vain and could take on things when he encountered problems.
"What's the problem?" Yang Dongxu looked confused.
"Contracts and copyrights are just about how to distribute some benefits. It doesn't matter if we give up some, and they don't dare to go too far, so the two of us can handle this.
Today we are looking for you because after the termination of the contract, everyone has a large sum of money in their hands. We can't just put it in the bank to earn interest, right? In addition, the copyrights of some works have not been sold in full, and we have left some to be put in Haina for you to help manage."
"This matter." Hearing that it was such a simple matter, Yang Dongxu patted his chest and said, "It's all a small matter. You can go directly to Liu Zongsheng for the copyright. Let's go through the formal contract.
As for the issue of the funds in your hands, I am the best at investment. If you trust me, don't invest in other things. Just find some good locations in Hong Kong to buy some shops and residential buildings for steady profit."
"Hong Kong's real estate has been sluggish in the past two years." Sister Mei said, and her brother couldn't help but look at her, opening his mouth to say something but didn't say it.
Sister Mei's words were undoubtedly a bit rude, but Yang Dongxu didn't care. This is also because the relationship between the two has reached a certain point. Sister Mei said whatever she wanted to say without hiding anything. On the contrary, he felt that it was good to get along like this.
"It is a good time to buy when the economy is in recession. Hong Kong has a unique geographical location and its position in the Asian economic market is obvious to all. Now that the domestic real estate market has started to take off, Hong Kong real estate will definitely be better than it is now.
If you don't need the money in your hands in the short term, it's just right to invest in this, just as long-term stock speculation. And it's more reliable than stocks. Once the stock market collapses, everything will be gone. But if the real estate collapses, you at least still have a house.
Anyway, these houses are ready-made, whether they are shops or residential buildings. If the real estate collapses, you can just lower the rent and still collect rent. The loss is not too big, and it's more cost-effective than leaving the money in the bank to earn interest."
"It sounds pretty good." The brother who had been silent nodded.
He and Sister Mei didn't want to speculate in real estate or anything, but they felt that it was not cost-effective to keep so much money in the bank. And every year they have to donate money to charity funds, so they also began to pay attention to financial management. Adults must consider things in a comprehensive and long-term way.
Yang Dongxu suggested that the homebuyers rent out their homes, which seemed quite suitable for them. First of all, this matter was very simple and convenient, and they didn't have to invest too much energy in management.
Just buy existing houses and shops to rent out. If the real estate market is booming, the rent will increase a little, and if the real estate market is depressed, the rent will be lower. And according to Hong Kong's economy, how low can the rent of some shops and houses in good locations be?
So the more he thought about it, the more suitable it was to be a resident, and he even thought about which area of Hong Kong apartments and shops were better.
"You have a lot of houses, right?" Sister Mei smiled at Yang Dongxu.
"Don't pay attention to me, I'm going to store all the good houses and wait for appreciation, but I don't plan to sell them, so don't think about it." Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
Sister Mei curled her lips, "Where do you get so many little thoughts?"
Obviously Sister Mei felt that Yang Dongxu was avoiding suspicion. Since he had come up with an idea for them to buy houses for rent, and then sold the houses in his hands to them, it felt a bit like looking for a buyer.
"I really don't mean that. I am really optimistic about Hong Kong real estate. Look, it's been three or four years. Have I ever sold a house?" Yang Dongxu spread his hands to show that he was innocent, and his face looked a bit stingy.
He looked like he wanted to take money out of my pocket, not to mention the door, not to mention the window.
It's true that I really don't want to sell the high-quality houses in my hands, but it's also true to avoid suspicion. Although I know that Sister Mei and Brother definitely don't care about these, such things must be avoided if they can be avoided.
In addition, Hong Kong's real estate will definitely rise sharply in the future, and the price will be even more speechless than before the bubble burst. At this time, if Sister Mei and Brother bought a house from him, they would make a lot of money.
Even if Yang Dongxu's family background definitely doesn't care and won't be jealous, how can you let them deal with themselves? It will definitely be a bit awkward when they meet at that time, so it's better to prevent such things as soon as possible.
Let them buy houses from other people, so that they will make money in a few years, and Yang Dongxu will not lose anything. Everyone is happy, so why not?
"You know the truth but you pretend to be ignorant!" Sister Mei glared at Yang Dongxu in anger, but she also knew that although friends cannot treat each other with respect everywhere, some conflicts that can be avoided should still be avoided.
"I'll ask someone to talk to Manager Liu about the copyright issue. You don't need to give any discounts, just follow the market price. My brother and I are discussing the purchase of the house. You are busy, so we won't bother you."
"What's the matter? You just asked me to help you, and you kicked me out of the world of two people? Do you have to be so obvious?" Yang Dongxu leaned back in his chair, looking sad after being used and thrown away.
The brother who was about to stand up and raise his head looked a little embarrassed and a little blushing.
"You are so unreasonable. I just said a few words to you. What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?" Compared with her brother, Sister Mei obviously didn't have much burden, and stretched out her hand to pull Yang Dongxu's ears.
You dared to tease me, you don't want to mix anymore!
