Chapter 433 Celebrity Effect
With the tone set, all that's left is to wait for Long Nier to successfully refine the Gu, and for Luo Yufu to take action.
The next morning, we received news from Fourth Wife that Mr. Tong had run away.
He was being pressured too much by Fourth Aunt and Luo Yufu, so he fled to Canada to avoid the limelight.
"He can run away, but he can't hide. He'll be back sooner or later!"
Long Nier didn't care much about this and continued to refine the Gu.
"That's the only way!" Fatty Lin nodded.
The next few days passed uneventfully, and life returned to normal.
In the midst of this calm, Jin Gu called, saying that Mr. Shui had arrived in Hong Kong Island and would send a car to pick us up soon to discuss matters related to Pengcheng Real Estate.
"Madman, it seems the matter in Pengcheng has been resolved. We're about to clash with the Japanese. I wonder who the Nine Chrysanthemums lineage will send to fight us this time!"
After putting down his phone, Fatty Lin rubbed his hands together excitedly.
In recent years, many landmark buildings in Pengcheng have been designed by Japanese people.
Nobody knows how much they did during this process. My brother and I will have to clean it up one by one; it's a huge undertaking.
"You get all excited when it comes to dealing with Japanese people!" I said with a smile.
"Aren't you excited?" Fatty Lin retorted.
"It'll definitely be exciting!" I exclaimed.
"Why didn't President Yu call?" Long Nier asked curiously.
"Don't worry, back in Pengcheng, it's Boss Yu who's taking the lion's share, she'll definitely fight too!" Fatty Lin said.
"Hmm!" Long Nier nodded and said, "I've been idle lately, so I've refined quite a few Gu gu. If the Nine Chrysanthemums lineage sends people over, it'll be a good opportunity to test my skills against them!"
Long Nier's words reminded me of the Jiuju faction member who attacked us at the Li Changfeng Building last time. She was utterly humiliated in front of everyone.
Given Long Nier's methods, if the Nine Chrysanthemums lineage were to intervene this time, there would be quite a show to watch.
Twenty minutes later, Jingu's car arrived.
After getting on the bus, we headed straight for Repulse Bay.
Upon arrival, we were led into the villa. As soon as we entered, we saw Mr. Shui embracing a woman and talking animatedly.
Upon seeing us, Boss Shui put down the woman in his arms and waved to us, saying, "Thirteen, Xiao Lin, Ni'er, come here quickly, come here quickly, we've been waiting for you!"
"Fatty, Master Feng, Sister Nini!"
As we walked over, the woman in Mr. Shui's arms greeted us.
This is someone we know, Yang Sitian.
Yang Sitian helped us deal with Luo Yufu before, acting as a middleman and helping us arrange a meeting with our ex-boyfriend Chen Weishan. Without her help, some things would have been really difficult to handle.
"Oh, it's Sweetie!"
Fatty Lin raised his hand in greeting, then turned to Zhao Xiangxiang, Jin Gu's assistant, who was sitting next to him and serving him food, and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, you've become even more beautiful in the month since I last saw you!"
"You fat Lin, all you've been doing since you came in is staring at the women, haven't you seen us old brothers?"
Da Li smiled and nodded at Fatty Lin.
"Brother Li, we're all like-minded people, even if we don't call each other 'Second Brother'!"
Fatty Lin said with a chuckle.
During his last trip to Guangzhou, thanks to the hospitality of Boss Shui, Fatty Lin's relationship with these people has become even closer.
There are three unbreakable bonds in society: fighting together, studying together, and visiting prostitutes together.
Shui Zong's hospitality was no different from that of a prostitute.
After spending time together, the sense of alienation disappeared, and they began to see Fatty Lin as one of their own.
I'm different. I've never played with them, and there's still a sense of distance between us when we're together.
After sitting down and eating and drinking for a while, Mr. Shui started talking about his business.
Although the land they acquired in Shenzhen wasn't much, it was still a lucrative opportunity.
The feng shui of these plots of land needs to be assessed by my brother and me.
No problem. We are the official feng shui masters of the Big D Association. It is only natural for us to take feng shui advice on the land they acquired.
"The influence of celebrities is becoming increasingly strong. If you want to sell houses well, hiring celebrities for endorsements or creating hype is a very good way!"
After discussing the feng shui, Mr. Shui said this.
"right!"
Jin Gu and Da Li nodded in agreement.
"Huayi Brothers is currently the largest film and television company in mainland China. Whether it's the quality of their stars or the financial backers, they are top-notch. Partnering with them is a great choice!"
"That's what Mr. Shui said."
Jin Gu and Da Li smiled but didn't reply. Instead, they looked at the two of us.
"No, Mr. Jin, Brother Li, Mr. Shui, if you want to talk about cooperation, just talk about it. Why are you looking at us?" Fatty Lin said, putting down his chopsticks.
"You two have a good relationship with the Wang brothers from Huayi, right? How about you introduce them?" Boss Shui said.
"My dear Hao-ge, you know what happened between us and Huayi. We're not just on good terms; we slapped them in the face back then!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"You slapped Qian Xiaogang in the face, not their brothers. Besides, didn't you later become a judge on their talent show?" Shui Zong said.
"Brother Hao, you've investigated us two brothers thoroughly!" Fatty Lin said with a wry smile.
"Xiao Lin, we're just asking you to help with the introductions, not asking you to do anything else. Besides, with President Yu's connections, they won't refuse you two!"
At this point, Mr. Shui paused, then added, "Besides, you're bringing them business and investment. If their brothers knew, they'd be incredibly grateful!"
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Seeing this, Fatty Lin did not refuse and nodded.
This is just the beginning of the trend of celebrities endorsing real estate companies.
Celebrities, though considered low-class, can indeed generate a significant herd mentality.
If a real estate project has a celebrity endorsement, or if news spreads that a celebrity bought a house in a project, the effect is very positive.
Not only that, but those wealthy businessmen who pursue female stars are not just doing it for fun. It's a way to show off their power and to let the outside world know that they're doing well.
As long as the situation is deemed normal, banks will not withdraw loans, and suppliers will not come to collect payments.
In the years that followed, some men, in order to prove that they were alright and had plenty of money, would often choose to spend lavishly to pursue female stars or hold a wedding that would cause a national sensation.
For example, more than half a year later, Li Laohu's nephew, Li Li's cousin, the eldest son of Li from Hedong, spent tens of millions to hold a wedding with a female star to prove that he was alright and that he had plenty of money.
"I heard that young Mr. Wang is quite the player. Let's have Tian Tian accompany him and let him experience the skills of Hong Kong's number one young model!" Da Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Sitian's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity, saying, "President Shui, President Jin, President Li, don't worry, if there's a chance, I'll definitely keep Little Wang company!"
