Wow, this house is so big, with a garden and a swimming pool!

Guan Zhilin ran wildly in the half-mountain single-family villa that Kang Jianfei had just bought. After running around, she hooked Kang Jianfei's neck and gave him a kiss. The two stood there to make out.

cough!Guan Shan coughed beside him and said, "Should you two be more reserved?"

Guan Zhilin lay in Kang Jianfei's arms, smiling and sticking out her tongue at her father, with a happy expression on her face.

Kang Jianfei stuffed a bunch of keys into Guan Zhilin and said: This villa was originally a barrister and the boss of a law firm, but now the whole family has immigrated to the UK.There were originally three cars in the garage. The slightly older BMW was thrown into the company as a bus, and there were still two new Peji and Ferrari left.

Guan Zhilin couldn't wait to take the key to the garage, and Guan Shan couldn't help but say: A Fei, don't spoil her like this. Jiahui has been spoiled by me since she was a child.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It didn’t cost much. Now all walks of life in Hong Kong are in a downturn, so the auction house has the best business, and many things can be bought at a bargain price.

In fact, those three cars were really cheap. Kang Jianfei only spent 300,000 yuan and bought all three cars from the original owner of the villa.

Guan Shan sighed: I don’t know what the outcome of this negotiation will be.

Probably it's still early.

Although Kang Jianfei didn't know how many years the Sino-British negotiations were held, he remembered that at the worst time, citizens in Hong Kong were rushing to buy daily necessities because there were rumors that the mainland would cut off Hong Kong's drinking water supply and send warships to cut off the city supply on Hong Kong Island.

By that time, the Hong Kong dollar was also said to be waste paper, and Hong Kong citizens frantically exchanged US dollars and pounds, and the so-called Hong Kong dollar crisis broke out.

Although rumors are flying in Hong Kong at present, no one has regarded the Hong Kong dollar as waste paper, and it is estimated that there will be trouble in the future.

The two lamented the current situation in Hong Kong, and Guan Shan said: I went to find Yuan Bifu a few days ago. She said that Taiping Theater was the hard work of three generations of the Yuan family and she would not sell it.

The three theaters under Kang Jianfei's hands, the Yau Ma Tei Theater and the newly built Oriental Cinema, are located in Kowloon, and only the Queen's Theater is in Queen's Avenue.

Taiping Cinema is located west of Queen's Avenue. If you can buy it, it will be a very good theater layout.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: I have made an appointment with Ms. Yuan many times, but I haven’t seen her herself. Uncle, can you help me ask her out for a conversation?

I'll give it a try.Guan Shan said.

Yuan Bifu is 35 years old this year. Guan Shan is a good friend of her second uncle and has a little friendship with her deceased father, but Guan Shan and Yuan Bifu have a very average relationship.

Fortunately, Yuan Bifu was able to give Guan Shan some face and readily agreed to the invitation. The two sides made an appointment to have dinner at the Fulinmen Restaurant.

The Hyoji in the villa in Mid-Levels is black, solemn and restrained, which makes Lin Guan very dislike. She can't put it down with another Ferrari sports car.

Even when Kang Jianfei invited Yuan Bifu to dinner, Rosamund Kwan had to drive a Ferrari out.

Kang Jianfei, Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin, father and daughter came to Fulinmen Restaurant. As soon as he stepped into the gate, he saw Lei Juekun and another man walking out of it.

Lei Juekun also saw Kang Jianfei, but he was in a state of great difficulty recently. Today he also made an appointment with someone to sell Kowloon Bus shares, and he was not in the mood to fight Kang Jianfei.

Oh, isn’t this Mr. Lei?Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand, saying, "It's such a coincidence that you can meet you anywhere."

It's Ah, Hong Kong is really small.Lei Juekun was generous and shook hands with Kang Jianfei very generously, but cursed Kang Jianfei a hundred times in his heart.

Lei Juekun also wanted to buy it at Yau Ma Tei Theater, but the main price of the theater was too high and he didn't get it done. He has always joined Princess Jin by leasing.

But in order to buy Yau Ma Tei Theater, Kang Jianfei actually spent 6 million yuan when housing prices in Hong Kong fell sharply, which was simply a waste of money.

For large leading cinemas such as Huasheng and Lisheng under Princess Jin, you can’t even think about buying them if you give them a price of 10 million.

But Yau Ma Tei Theater is just a 500-seater theater with outdated equipment, which is not worth that much money at all.

In Lei Juekun's eyes, Kang Jianfei spent 6 million to buy the Yau Ma Tei Theater to deliberately spend money to poach him.

After the two shook hands, they quickly retracted their hands, as if they were touching a piece of feces. They passed by without saying anything polite.

Lei Juekun suddenly felt that he was old. A year ago, he was ambitious to enter the film industry. As a result, now, whether it is a theater company, Kowloon Bus and Kowloon Jianye, there are a lot of troubles that cannot be clarified.

Kang Jianfei does make enemies everywhere, but Lei Juekun also has many enemies. Now he just wants to sell the remaining Kowba shares in his hand at a good price, just don’t lose too much.

Kang Jianfei pulled Guan Zhilin's hand upstairs, and Guan Shan, who was walking behind, looked at his back and sighed secretly.

The young man in front has already looked like a film and television tycoon. I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing for his daughter to follow him.

Among the rich people in Hong Kong, it is very common to marry a few wives, but it is rare to end up together.

This kind of thing Guan Shan naturally knew that even he had several women, so how could he stop Kang Jianfei from having fun?

Kang Jianfei and others came to the private room, but found that Yuan Bifu had arrived. He was sitting there flipping through magazines and drinking tea. He quickly apologized: I'm so embarrassed that I've been waiting for a long time.

It's nothing, I'm used to coming early. Yuan Bifu shook hands with Kang Jianfei, and smiled at Guan Zhilin, "This is Jiahui, when you were a child, you often chased me and called my sister."

Lin Guan was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile: Is there any?I don't remember at all.

Guan Shan said: You were still young at that time, and Taiping Theater often screened Shaw Brothers dramas, and your mother and I took you to the theater.Miss Yuan was helping in the theater at that time and even gave you Xiong Zai to her.

Lin Guan asked: Then why don’t I have any impression of it?

Yuan Bifu said: Later I went to study in the UK and didn’t come back to take over the theater until a few years ago.Unfortunately, I lacked my ability, and Taiping Theater suffered losses for years and had to close down.

Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to say: Ms. Yuan, I am bluntly, instead of letting Taiping Theater block the dust, it is better to sell the goods and make the best use of them.

Yuan Bifu shook his head and said: Taiping Theater has been going through three generations, so I cannot be spared by me, otherwise I will be the unfilial daughter of the Yuan family.

Kang Jianfei also carefully inquired about the past of Taiping Theater and advised: Ms. Yuan, I think it was not for grandfather to create the theater back then to keep it closed.Ling Zun later rebuilt Taiping Cinema, giving the theater the function of film screening. He also hoped that this theater could keep pace with the times.This is a luxury theater located in a prime location with more than 2,000 seats and is as famous as Li Stage!It should open business and use its stage to perform operas, hold concerts, and screen movies. I think this is the greatest respect for the two predecessors of Taiping Theater and the Yuan family.

Yuan Bifu said: If someone wants to sing an opera or hold a concert, I will also open the door to do business.

Kang Jianfei was speechless. I wonder if the woman in front of me was so funny. Taiping Theater, one of the two best theaters in Hong Kong, was actually closed down by her, and she was beaten to death and refused to sell it.

Ms. Yuan, what conditions do you need to sell it?Kang Jianfei asked.

Yuan Bifu said firmly: Don’t sell it.

Kang Jianfei retreated and sought the second best, and asked: What about rent?

Yuan Bifu also shook his head: No rent.

Kang Jianfei was speechless without renting, selling, and not opening his business. He thought that Taiping Theater was in the hands of this woman, which was also a tragedy.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said: I will pay 30 million yuan, and I will ask for it together with the land belt theater.

Guan Shan was shocked and advised: A Fei, you are crazy. You can build several new large theaters in the West Ring Road for 30 million.

Yuan Bifu was slightly moved by Kang Jianfei's persistence, but he still shook his head and refused.

Kang Jianfei then said: 35 million, I will open a special exhibition room in the theater to display and display various cultural relics and materials from the Taiping Theater over the past century.These cultural relics are still owned by Ms. Yuan, and you can visit them at any time.

Kang Jianfei's second words made Yuan Bifu think, but this time she did not refuse immediately.

Kang Jianfei hit the railway while it was hot: I can promise Ms. Yuan here that I will build a Hong Kong drama and film history exhibition hall within the next fifteen years, and all historical relics about Taiping Theater will be transferred to the museum.

Yuan Bifu did not speak, but sat there thinking silently.

This woman donated the Taiping Theater to the museum in the future. It can be seen that her mind is not about money, and what Kang Jianfei said later had already touched her.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Bifu asked: How can Mr. Kang ensure that you keep your word?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: You can add this one to the contract. If I don’t keep my word at that time, then the original items of Taiping Cinema will be returned, and I won’t ask you for a dollar.

Yuan Bifu also smiled and said: OK, Mr. Kang, you can build the exhibition hall as soon as possible.Taiping Theater even gives you the land. I only have 30 million yuan, and the remaining 5 million yuan is considered the sponsorship fee I have to give to the exhibition hall.

Thank you so much!Kang Jianfei shook hands with Yuan Bifu happily, sighing in his heart: This woman is really not short of money!

However, in Hong Kong, where land prices and housing prices have plummeted, Kang Jianfei still lost money by buying Taiping Theater for 30 million yuan. Putting aside its historical and cultural value, it still lost money.

Kang Jianfei doesn’t regret it. This theater is not an ordinary theater. It is enough to hold a concert with 2,000 seats.Not to mention anything else, the land of Taiping Theater will only be worth at least 200 million to 300 million in ten years.

The same is true for the Luhaitong Building. Although this building only has 13 floors and belongs to the first generation building in Hong Kong, the elevators and other equipment inside are a bit outdated.

But this building is located in Ah, Central. If the real estate market had not fallen sharply, Kang Jianfei would have to buy at most 10 floors for more than 50 million yuan, and he would not even think about the land or something.

In the long run, Kang Jianfei's behavior of buying land and housing is several times more profitable than direct stock trading.

Think about the industrial land priced at Kowloon Bay with a price of 150 million yuan, and after the land price plummeted, it was sold for only 15 million yuan. You will know how terrifying the profits inside are.
