515 [He Family Banquet](1/2)

The cooperation with Kakugawa Bookstore was just an unexpected episode, and Kang Jianfei himself never thought of it.

Why did Japan's largest comic publishing house, Shueisha, not cooperate with Primary School Pavilion, but chose Kadokawa Bookstore?

The reason is very simple. Kakugawa Bookstore is a large group that integrates books and movies. It will soon enter the comics field, and can cooperate with Kang Jianfei's Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group in every aspect.

"Brother Fei, the time for the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony has been temporarily changed, and it will be postponed for three days on June 15th." Li Yingfeng stood at the door of the editing room wearing an OL dress and holding a folder. She said to Kang Jianfei, who had just finished editing.

Li Yafeng originally planned to take the college entrance examination, but after graduation, she went to DreamWorks to do administrative work, but in the end she adapted her idea and went to DreamWorks to intern for a few months, and finally became Kang Jianfei's personal secretary.

As for the former secretary Chen Shuli, she has now been transferred to become the administrative secretary of DreamWorks and has barely become the company's real power.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I understand, please help me change the ticket time."

Li Yafeng smiled and said, "It has been changed."

Kang Jianfei looked at the time and stretched out and said, "I'm going to the He family for a banquet today. You can go back by yourself later."

"Okay." Li Yafeng responded, but thought in her heart that Kang Jianfei could take her to a banquet for a wealthy family.

The two walked into the office one after another. The moment Li Jiaofeng closed the door, Kang Jianfei's hand was already on her "qiaotun", and the two hugged each other and kissed each other.

After being intimate, Kang Jianfei tidied up his clothes and said, "Don't call me Brother Fei when you are in the company in the future. After all, your current identity is my personal secretary."

Li Yingfeng was beaten by Kang Jianfei and asked quite depressedly: "What will I call you in the company in the future?"

Kang Jianfei said, "Whatever you want, just don't be too intimate."

"Then I'll call you boss." Li Yanfeng pouted and said coquettishly.

"Be good, don't be angry." Kang Jianfei patted Li Yanfeng's shoulder and coaxed him. He actually didn't want the woman around him to be his private secretary, but he couldn't resist Li Yanfeng's coquettish begging, so he had to agree in the end.

When we went downstairs, the car was ready. Two bodyguards were standing in front of the car and immediately opened the car door when they saw Kang Jian flying over.

The Ho family’s family banquet is at No. 1 Repulse Bay Road, and the gambling king has several luxury houses in Hong Kong. However, with the quietest and luxurious nature of Repulse Bay, the value of Villa No. 1 Repulse Bay is at least three times that of Villa No. 4 Kang Jianfei.

After Kang Jianfei revealed his identity, the door of the villa slowly opened. As soon as the car drove in, a young man in his fifties came over and saluted, "Mr. Kang, please come with me!"

"I'm working hard." Kang Jianfei smiled, "Is your surname?"

The little old man said, "Don't let your surname be Hu, please do not want to be here by Mr. Kang."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Thank you, Bo Hu."

As Hu Bo came to the living room, Kang Jianfei saw He Hongsen sitting on the sofa chatting with He Chaoxiong. A middle-aged beautiful woman sat next to him and a beautiful young woman sat next to the gambling king peeling apples for him.

After seeing Kang Jianfei come in, He Hongsen didn't show any airs at all. He stood up very kindly and shook hands with Kang Jianfei, then smiled and said, "Xiaokang is here. Please sit down!"

When Kang Jianfei saw this, he saw that the elders saw the younger generation. He looked suspiciously at He Chaoxiong, who was not very familiar with him, and saw the latter smiling at him and shrugging.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Kang Jianfei realized that the middle-aged beautiful woman was He Chaoqiong's biological mother. She was the second concubine of the gambling king, Lan Qiongying, and the beautiful young woman was the third concubine Chen Wanzhen, who was about to be officially married to the gambling king.

The main purpose of the gambling king coming to Hong Kong this time was actually to choose a luxury house for the third concubine, which was a sign of his acquisition. As for the second concubine, Lan Qiongying, also came here, mainly because she heard that her daughter He Chaoqiong broke up with Danny Chan and had a new reliable boyfriend, so she came to see her future son-in-law.

Bo Hu reminded that during dinner, the third concubine carefully supported He Hongsen to the dining table, while the second concubine was not jealous at all and talked to Kang Jianfei from time to time.

It seems that the gambling king is well aware of the way to control his wife. The two concubines get along so well, they are simply a role model for us.

"Xiaokang, I heard that you are not only making movies, but also working in real estate?" The second concubine Lan Qiongying showed that she was quite concerned about Kang Jianfei, ignored her husband and third wife at all, and had been understanding Kang Jianfei's situation.

Kang Jianfei couldn't figure out what was going on at all. He couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the second concubine, so he had to deal with it and replied: "I don't know much about real estate. I bought some randomly and asked the real estate agent to help me manage it."

Lan Qiongying nodded and praised: "The Hong Kong real estate market collapsed so badly at that time. You don't know how to buy the bottom and buy land if you don't know about real estate. It seems that Xiaokang, you are born to be a businessman."

"Hehe, Aunt Lan, you praised me, so I'll buy some casually." Kang Jianfei smiled perfunctorily.

Lan Qiongying suddenly turned around and asked the Filipino maid: "Why haven't the lady come down yet?"

The Filipino maid replied, "I knocked on the door, but the lady won't open it."

He Chaoxiong suddenly said: "Aqiong has been in love and has been making trouble these days."

Lan Qiongying complained: "Aqiong is also ignorant. What's the point of singing? The stars have a lot of right and wrong, and it's very troublesome to get involved in those scandals in the future."

Kang Jianfei scratched his forehead with a touch, and there were so many scandals that he had countless, which made readers nowadays not surprised by which actress he dated.

Lan Qiongying went upstairs in person and finally called her daughter down to have dinner.

Before He Chaoqiong could sit on the table, he saw Kang Jianfei and immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Sit down," He Hongsen, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Xiaokang is the guest I invited. How can you talk to the guest like this?"

He Chaoqiong immediately lost his temper and was pushed to Kang Jianfei by his biological mother Lan Qiongying.

Delicious dishes were served one after another, Kang Jianfei dealt with the conversation between He Hongsen and his wife, but focused more on tasting delicious food. He had already seen that it seemed that Lan Qiongying was interested in matching him and He Chaoqiong, but how could Kang Jianfei give up the entire forest for a big tree?

He Hongsen found it quite interesting. He did not interfere much with his daughter having a boyfriend. But he also hoped that his son-in-law could be a good match.

The breakup between He Chaoqiong and Danny Chan was largely due to He Chaoxiong secretly creating conflicts. He Hongsen neither opposed nor supported this, but he was happy that Danny Chan was getting out of here.

He Hongsen is still very interested in Kang Jianfei, because he has a good personal relationship with Shao Yifu. On the tenth anniversary of the Hong Kong Miss, He Hongsen also personally served as the final judge. His children He Chaoxiong and He Chaoqiong were sent to TVB for internship.

Kang Jianfei waved his hands to start a DreamWorks and acquired TV stations to play against TVB. All of this left a deep impression on He Hongsen.

As for Kang Jianfei's lovely scandals, He Hongsen was too lazy to care about it. Where can I find a cat that cannot steal fishy now? As long as you don't make too much trouble after getting married, even if your son-in-law secretly raises the outdoor room, He Hongsen will not interfere.

"Xiaokang, your Miss Oriental beauty pageant is doing well, and the publicity has been even greater than Miss Hong Kong recently." He Hongsen talked about business matters with Kang Jianfei. It was normal for elders to talk about work with juniors during the family dinner.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "It's okay, Daheng Shao just gave in to me."

He Hongsen laughed and said, "It's not that he gave in to you. Last time he drank tea, he even called you unruly."

"There are not many people who can be scolded by Daheng Shao. I am very honored." Kang Jianfei didn't think about marrying He Chaoqiong, so he spoke without any scruples. "Uncle He, since you are interested in Miss Dongfang, why not be a beauty pageant judge for this year."

He Hongsen has been a judge of Miss Hong Kong final twice and is familiar with this job. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll join in the fun when the time comes."

Kang Jianfei was stunned. He didn't expect He Hongsen to agree so simply. He asked, "Uncle He, aren't you afraid that Daheng Shao will be unhappy?"

He Hongsen smiled and said, "He is not that stingy."

Except for the stingy business, Shao Yifu was really not stingy in other places and was a model for being generous. Moreover, Shaw Pictures' stingy also started with Fang Yihua. When Zou Wenhuai was managing Shaw Brothers, he didn't even make a detailed budget, and everything was based on the premise of making the movie well.

"Then I will thank Uncle He for supporting him." Kang Jianfei said happily. He Hongsen's ability to be the final judge of Miss Oriental this year can greatly increase the weight of the event.

He Hongsen asked: "Xiaokang, how can you increase profits when you run a TV station?"

Kang Jianfei replied ambiguously: "Increase ratings, increase advertising revenue, and reduce costs and expenses, these three points in general."

"Macau TV's ratings are too low. Are you able to do it?" He Hongsen asked.

Kang Jianfei didn't know Macau TV at all. He asked: "What's going on with this TV station?"

He Hongsen said: "The TV station, which was established last year, has cost nearly $20 million in the first two quarters of this year, and its advertising revenue is less than $2 million."

The value of the Macau dollar and Hong Kong dollar is similar. According to the Macau TV station's loss method, it may be a good idea to close the door in a few years.

Kang Jianfei asked, "The ratings are very low?"

He Hongsen nodded: "Macau has always watched Hong Kong TV programs. Macau TV was only founded last year. The program is not as good as Hong Kong TV stations."

"Uncle He has shares in Macau TV?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"Macau TV is run by the Portuguese-Macao government and does not accept private investment." He Hongsen explained, but did not deny that he had shares in it.

Macau is different from Hong Kong. Portugal's rule has very weak power there. Even when the Macau dollar was issued, Macau Wang Hexian needed to send someone to Hong Kong to smuggle Hong Kong dollars to print money. Whenever the Portuguese and Macau government couldn't handle anything, it would ask Hexian to help solve it.

Macau’s Wang He Xian died the year before yesterday. Now Macau’s biggest power belongs to He Hongsen. It can be said that the Portuguese and Macau government has to act according to the expression of He Gambling King. How could it be that opening a TV station without He Hongsen’s shares?

Kang Jianfei asked again: "What programs are broadcasting on Macau TV?"

He Hongsen said: "Portuguese news and Cantonese news, sports programs, and English TV series, and new Cantonese TV series were added some time ago."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I bought old TVB movies in Cantonese TV series."

He Hongsen nodded: "Yes, the new TVB is not sold at all."

"Then there will definitely be no ratings. A few people watch English TV series, and Cantonese is an old movie that the audience has watched." Kang Jianfei said.

He Hongsen asked: "How do you think this problem should be solved?"

Kang Jianfei said: "The biggest competitors of Macau TV stations are Hong Kong's Wireless and Phoenix. It is impossible to win these two TV stations in the short term. You can only grab a little ratings and calculate it. It is best to buy Taiwanese TV series for Cantonese dubbing, or find DreamWorks to buy new movies."

He Hongsen asked: "Will takeaway be taken from the new films filmed by DreamWorks? That's a scramble to compete with your own Phoenix Channel."

Kang Jianfei said without any worries: "The ratings of Phoenix Channel in Macau are not high, and many viewers over there are watching TVB."

"You are not good at harming others." He Hongsen laughed.

Kang Jianfei shrugged: "How can DreamWorks films do more business? How can it be called unselfish?"

At a meal, He Hongsen and Kang Jianfei were basically talking. Lan Qiongying and He Chaoxiong occasionally interjected. He Chaoqiong dug out a few bites of food and said he was full. He wanted to leave the table and go back to the bedroom, but He Hongsen looked away.

After chatting around for a long time, He Hongsen suddenly asked, "Xiaokang. Are you interested in investing in Macau TV?"

Kang Jianfei asked back: "Didn't Uncle He say that Macau TV does not allow private equity investment?"

He Hongsen sighed: "This rule can be changed. I don't know how to run a TV station. The bureaucrats of the Portuguese-Macao government just want to make a living. This TV station must find a shareholder who knows what it is, otherwise it will be stopped if it doesn't last for a few years."

Kang Jianfei really couldn't make up his mind to invest in Macau TV, because Macau's place was too small and the audience, which was already small, was snatched away by Hong Kong TV stations. This was destined to be a money-losing business.

In another time and space, Macau TV station lasted for more than three years before allowing private equity investment. The advertising revenue that year increased by 4 times, but after that, it was still operating at a loss and was maintained by government subsidies.

Although Kang Jianfei didn't know these specific situations, he saw that it was difficult for Macau TV to make a profit. He asked with a smile: "Uncle He and Daheng Shao are friends, why don't you invite him to invest?"

He Hongsen shook his head amusedly. He asked Shao Yifu to invest in the shares last year, but Shao Yifu didn't do anything to give away shares for free. That thing lost tens of millions a year, which was not a joke.
