Chapter 298 Welcome to Yangcheng
With Lou Xingyao's active efforts and the use of the land and the cinema itself as collateral, the loan from HSBC was quickly approved. The amount was more than the 30 yuan assessed by Lou Xingyao, reaching 50 yuan!
Lou Xingyao didn't dare to brag before.

With this money, not only are all previous investments covered, there is even a surplus!

Wang Yuanchao can then acquire other theaters or suitable properties.

王援朝的目标很简单，在69年到来之际，手头至少有4-5家戏院。69年，再收购、新建15-20家戏院。这样有20-25家戏院，洗钱的效率那就杠杠的了。

He also took a fancy to some land owned by Kowloon Motor Bus, which were former parking lots.

As the scale of Kowloon Motor Bus continues to grow, these parking lots in the city seem small, and it is too wasteful to use such a good location only for parking. If it is to be developed into residential and commercial areas, according to Hong Kong regulations, a large amount of money must be paid, so not many people are interested in these resources, even Kowloon Motor Bus itself does not think much of them, and the price difference is too much.

There is no shortage of land in Hong Kong now.

But Wang Yuanchao could take this kind of good location and develop and build a cinema. Later, the Lei family's Golden Princess Cinema Chain was supported by these few cinemas.

They are all good land.

It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, the land is there, so you will definitely not lose money.

Even after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong gangs still used movies to launder money, which shows how safe this industry chain is!
Wang Yuanchao needs to become the uncrowned king of Hong Kong's film and media industry. Making this little money is secondary.

The loan for this cinema chain alone would not be more than 30 or 50 million, so Wang Yuanchao wanted to become a big customer of HSBC through the cinema chain loan, and then see if he could use his acquaintances to introduce him to HSBC and establish a better relationship with it. Finally, he could use the buildings and land as collateral to get a large loan and then buy the buildings and land.

It would be a waste if we don't take advantage of the situation now that banks don't prohibit chain loans.

He even used the funds raised by his employees, oh no, the foundation, he was really very frugal and didn't waste a single cent.
-
Guangzhou, Autumn Fair.

Wang Sheng told the group that they were going to the Autumn Fair because they heard that the medicinal materials trade here was pretty good. They wanted to see if they could find some precious medicinal materials from these companies. The raw materials needed for deer blood wine were running low.

Director Jin naturally made the door very convenient. He originally wanted Wang Sheng to come over, as he was the one in charge of this matter and there was no room for delay.

Wang Lizhe said that he wanted to complete the unfinished business of his third brother Wang Yuanchao and wanted to go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. How could Director Jin refuse?

Of course, privately, Director Jin suspected that the brother and sister might want to go to the place where Wang Yuanchao died to pay tribute.

In view of the fact that Wang Yuanchao had made such a great contribution to the group and that he had not added any burden to the group in the end, Director Jin waved his hand and said:
"You two brothers should go out together so that you can take care of each other on the way."

After all, the Canton Fair is held twice a year and the art troupe always has opening performances, so everyone has long been accustomed to the trip to Guangzhou.

But the brother and sister did not follow the main group. They arrived a week later to avoid the initial peak period.

The main problem is that it’s inconvenient for everyone to go there together.

Wang Heping also applied for a business trip to the steel mill, with the same reason as Wang Sheng:
The medicinal wine was out of raw materials, so his elder brother went out to look for medicine and he accompanied him.

Director Li Huaide had no doubts about it, he really needed this medicinal wine.

On November 11, the three siblings excitedly boarded a train heading south.

How did Wang Sheng know that there would be a large-scale transaction of medicinal materials at the Autumn Fair?
Wang Li told him.

Wang Li received a call from Zheng Juan, and Zheng Juan confessed everything.

Bao'an Hall went to Yangcheng for business, so Wang Yuanchao came naturally. Although they were limited to staying in a few foreign-related hotels, Yangcheng also monitored outsiders, but more of them were some confidential places that were not allowed to enter, not to mention the point of man-to-man surveillance.

If you keep a close eye on them, foreign investors will be reluctant to come. How can you generate foreign exchange?

So when Wang Yuanchao left the hotel, he was wearing his everyday grass-green cloth outfit and a red-star hat, which made him look particularly ordinary in Guangzhou.

He had a railway work permit in his possession, but unfortunately no one came to check it.

But now he no longer dared to go to the railway guesthouse to find Zheng Juan openly. He would call Zheng Juan from outside and make arrangements to meet her after get off work or on weekends according to the schedule provided by Zheng Juan.

After falling into the water, the two have met three times, almost once every two months.

Zheng Juan's dependence on Wang Yuanchao became increasingly serious, and Wang Yuanchao could only encourage her to study hard. Zheng Juan thought that Wang Yuanchao also asked the same of Wang Li, so she had to suppress her feelings and actively participate in the unit's study group.

Zheng Juan is not very talented, but she is obedient and willing to work hard, so her academic progress is very good.

After a few years, I no longer have any problem reading books and newspapers, and writing daily letters. After all, there are only two or three thousand commonly used characters.

However, the three siblings Wang Sheng, Wang Heping and Wang Li knew that this was Wang Yuanchao's arrangement, so they informed their families and went out.

To be honest, Wang Sheng is already a father of two children, but he has never traveled so far, let alone Wang Heping and Wang Li.

It was already mid-to-late November, and when they went out, the three of them were wrapped up like bears, tightly and shivering.

It gets warmer the further south you go.

When getting off the train, all you need to do is put on a thin jacket. Wang Heping even wore only one piece of clothing!
You can’t experience the vastness of our motherland unless you go out!
The three siblings now thought, no wonder Wang Yuanchao liked to run around outside. At least if he didn’t run around outside, he wouldn’t be able to come up with the lyrics at home!
As the ancients said, reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles is the best way to achieve success.

Look at the endless mountains, the endless water, the boundless plains, the cities, the villages, the shepherds, the bridges, the tunnels, from the bare gray and the white, to the deep and light green, and even the colorful flowers, not to mention the blue sky and white clouds, the morning glow and the sunrise, and the evening glow and the sunset, even the black gray drifting by the locomotive has a taste of journey.

"Look, isn't that Third Brother?"

Wang Li had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the tall man with a green military cap at the exit. Next to him was the pretty Zheng Juan. Who else could it be but Wang Yuanchao?
Wang Sheng and Wang Heping also saw it. Just as Wang Heping was about to wave and say hello, Wang Sheng pulled his hand down and said:
"Keep it down you two!"

Wang Heping and Wang Li then remembered that Wang Yuanchao had "fallen into the water and disappeared".

Wang Li muttered:
"Third brother has dared to come out." Wang Heping immediately taught him:
"It's his business if he dares to do that. We need to keep a low profile!"

Wang Li couldn't help but roll his eyes at his second brother.

The three of them, carrying cotton jackets and luggage, quickly squeezed next to Wang Yuanchao and Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan happily wanted to help Wang Li carry his luggage, but Wang Yuanchao put his hands in his trouser pockets and did not lend a hand. Wang Heping had to retract the luggage he held out and said:

"You're still so damn lazy!"

Wang Yuanchao rubbed the little sister's head with a smile and said:

"Don't talk about our second brother, third brother. Look, the eldest brother didn't even reach out!"

Wang Sheng looked around nervously and whispered:
"There are so many people here. Is it appropriate for us to just stand here and chat?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Let’s go to the guesthouse and settle down first.

When I came here a few years ago, I had to stay in Chancheng with the rest of the group because there were too many people here.”

Several people followed, and Wang Sheng said:

"I heard from everyone in the group that they are still staying over there this time."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"This is the benefit of me asking Zheng Juan to come here early. You guys will have a place to stay when you come! Wang Li, you live in Zheng Juan's dormitory and share a bed with her. Big Brother and Second Brother, you two will have two empty beds!"

Wang Shengdao:
"How embarrassing! How about I squeeze in with the second brother?"

Wang Heping also knew the situation here to some extent, and said:
"Yes, I'll squeeze in with big brother!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Okay, okay, there's a bed, why are you being so polite?

If there is no bed, I will have to take you two to sleep under the bridge!
Hurry up and take out your letters of introduction, we need to register.

Zheng Juan, take them to check in, ask them to pack up, and bring them out for dinner.

I'll go to the hotel and wait in line for you!"

……

There’s a private room at the Friendship Hotel, with a table full of dishes, and no tickets are required.

Because the people at Baoan Hall helped to book the tickets, how could foreign guests get tickets? Foreign guests only have foreign currency!
It's very lively here with people coming and going, and a lot of business is even done here.

Zheng Juan brought the three Wang siblings and came over here with familiarity of the place.

After entering the box and closing the door, Wang Li couldn't help but squeeze into Wang Yuanchao's arms and sobbed:
"Third brother, we finally see you again. Our whole family has missed you so much!"

Wang Yuanchao patted his little sister's back helplessly and said to his elder and second brothers:
"Look, you're just clinging to me. You're an adult, but you're still crying. Come on, sit down. Hurry up and sit down."

When Wang Li heard this, he deliberately rubbed his nose on Wang Yuanchao's shoulder, then jumped up to Zheng Juan and said:
"Hmph, I'll sit next to my sister Juan!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and pulled out a chair, saying:
"Your sister Juan has to sit next to me!

Big brother, you sit over here, second brother, you sit next to big brother."

Wang Sheng was not polite and sat down next to the third brother.

Wang Heping sat down angrily and said:
"Third brother, you are so partial. You hug Wang Li and stay close to Wang Sheng, but what about me? I get nothing!"

Wang Yuanchao quickly stood up, walked towards Wang Heping, opened his arms, and said:

"We've slept in the same bed for so many years, and you still want to hug me? Come on, don't accuse me of being partial!"

Wang Heping shook off his third brother's arms and said:
"Why does what you said sound so weird to me? Hurry up, hurry up and sit back down!"

Zheng Juan watched the siblings playing with a smile and poured them some soda. It was not appropriate to drink alcohol in the middle of the day, so this was very good.

After pouring the drinks, he finally sat down obediently next to Wang Yuanchao, his tense little face now full of joy.

Wang Yuanchao raised his glass and said:

“Let’s have some drinks at noon.

This is the first drink. Zheng Juan and I welcome the eldest brother, the second brother, and the youngest sister to Guangzhou. Come on, cheers! "

The smile on Zheng Juan's face became even wider.
