In the large private room of the Good Luck flagship store, Gai Li held up a wine glass and said with a smile, "Zhao, our Windows is getting more and more popular. Microsoft's market value has hit 40 billion U.S. dollars, and you still want me to make such a strange movie."

"Your bad taste is so cute, haha. To celebrate the global sales of the new movie, cheers!"

Even if Gai currently only has 20% of Microsoft's equity, when it hits 40 billion U.S. dollars, it is not a small amount of money. His personal worth is hitting more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars just by showing his shares.

With such a cover, you asked him to play a hawker who sets up a street stall selling fake and dirty goods and is chased by the police? His performance itself is a kind of spoof.

But the cover still performs well.

Julia, who plays Guy's girlfriend in the movie, also raised a toast and said with a sweet smile, "Boss, do I want to go to press for a big movie? Depp and his band beyond are going on tour, and I can also try to appear as a guest.

It can also be considered as a contribution to the movie.”

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "As long as you are not afraid of hard work, you can give it a try."

In the large private room at this moment, there are a gathering of tycoons and big stars from the film and television industry. Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua and others are also here, preparing for the announcement.

Winona Ryder pulled Jennifer Aniston to her feet and said, "Boss, we can also be guest guests at the concert. At this stage, both Aniston and I are very popular."

"Even if we can't sing well, we can still use technology to lip-sync, right?"

Although she is not very tall, Winona still spoke very boldly at this moment, which made Zhao Donghuai happy, "Okay, you are all ready. Since the lid is here, let me give you a word. If you want to make some money quickly, you can

Take your money and buy some Microsoft stock.”

"Gai, how long will it take for the Windows 4.0 version to be developed?"

Only then did a group of celebrities look at Gai Gai in surprise. Although everyone knew that Gai Gai was not ordinary rich. He was worth more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the current combined market value of 100 Years Pictures and Debao.

They are all tall together.

Microsoft's total market capitalization has exceeded the HK$300 billion mark.

Is it already so high? Isn’t it too late to buy it now? Windows 4.0? Is this version very important?

Gai Li laughed, "It's coming soon. It should be available next year. It's definitely good news."

Affected by Zhao Donghuai's butterfly effect, Motorola was able to withdraw manpower and financial resources from the Iridium Project in advance to support the Motorola 8900 for the sake of the huge Asian market, and updated the version two years in advance.

So does Microsoft.

A few months after Windows 3.1 was released in 1992, Windows 3.2 appeared, targeting the Chinese version. Not only did it provide a full range of Chinese culture, it could also play videos and listen to music on the computer, plus the BBS website, the computer

Game promotion.

That’s why the Qinling Internet Cafe chain in Haowan, Hong Kong is so popular.

But the most important thing is version 4.0. This version gave Microsoft a decisive victory in the global operating system. The original track was released in 1995. At the time of release, Microsoft had a market value of 50 billion US dollars, and then to windows98...

In just four or five years, in 1999, Microsoft's market value was US$661.6 billion!

In four to five years, the market value has increased by more than 13 times. And then it’s not that much. It wasn’t until 2021 that Microsoft’s market value exceeded US$2 trillion. Although this increase is not bad, it is worse compared to the rolling profit in the mid-to-late 1990s.

too much.

It was last year's Windows 3.1 that laid the foundation for the future Windows 95, and then the 95 and 98 series dominated the world. The fourth generation version pushed the lid to the throne of the richest man, and once he sat down, he couldn't get down.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "You've heard it too. If you want to get rich, just buy more. It's considered extra money."

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes, the sooner those who want to get on the bus, the better. I also welcome everyone to get on the bus. After all, I am also a member of the entertainment industry and I am friends with everyone. Having you as a shareholder gives me a sense of peace of mind."

It’s much better than leaving your back to Wall Street.”

Li Jiaxin said happily, "Okay, I'll buy 1% first to test the waters. It's not as good as Sister Zhen and Sister Min, but I can also have a little fun. Sister Min and their 1% shares are now sold for US$400 million."

She also knew that Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen bought 1% of Microsoft in 1986. At that time, the market value of Microsoft was only 700 million U.S. dollars. Azhen and Amin bought it with loans, and each bought 1% for 7 million U.S. dollars. Now they have made a profit... close to 60 times.

Wealth appreciation.

The difference between $7 million and $400 million!

Even though Oracle, the company they invested in, is not as tyrannical as Microsoft, the overall profit has also increased by forty or fifty times.

Now Ah Xin is entering the market to buy 1%? That would cost around US$400 million, or even higher. Only if you buy it at a premium will investors transfer it.

Winona's eyes lit up, "Then I'll buy 20 million dollars for fun. I don't have much money and I don't know how to invest, but the boss recommends it. It's definitely worth it."

Aniston, Courteney and others also agreed.

Especially when Ah Xin explained in detail the story, origin, and development of the 1% of Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, a group of big stars and film industry tycoons took a deep breath and couldn't stop at all.

Is it okay to spend 7 million US dollars for 400 million in 7 years? The current market value of Microsoft is very high. Gaofeng... Gaofeng also wants to buy it. I haven’t seen that Zhao Donghuai has been a major shareholder of Microsoft for many years? The other major shareholders are all Wall Street tycoons.

crocodile!

So many financial gods are so optimistic about Microsoft that they are rushing to buy it.

After one night.

Starting from late October, the campaign for (two antiques/big smoking guns) has been launched. In the early stage, the main focus was on one cover. A large number of media were boasting about Microsoft's change from a market value of US$700 million to US$40 billion in just seven years.

history.

With a net worth of more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, Brother Gai gave a heart-warming performance on the screen, playing the role of a small gangster selling fake stolen goods on the street...

In addition to being the president of Microsoft, Gai is also a white kung fu superstar. At least one time-travel version of Ip Man 1 established his status as a white superstar, and this status is still very recognized by the white world.

A gimmick of starring in a cover movie made this movie full of attention from the whole people!

ATV, including the old Fox TV network in North America, have begun to broadcast (Kung Fu Football) and (Time Travel Version Ip Man 1) on movie channels.

And the tour of Asia's four kings has also started. During the tour, the guests who can sneak in as guests are all top-notch. After the concerts are held, (two antique/big smoking guns) are really popular, everyone knows

.

When the time entered November, the film production was completed, and two trailers were edited and broadcast on TV stations in turn.

One is a commercial about Gai and Julia Roberts working as street vendors, being chased by the police, and running away in embarrassment. It has to be said that the main theme of this film is a flip. Outside the movie, the news that Gai is worth more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars was speculated.

Massive attention.

Then coupled with this kind of plot, when the hawker is chased all over the place by the uniformed patrol police of Hong Kong Island, the sense of fragmentation and contrast is really too cracking.

Another set of commercials shows Hong Qinbao wearing a suit, with a big beard and a slicked back hair, smoking a big cigar in one hand, showing top-notch luxury watches and belts, and the high-end boss look almost overflows the screen.

But he grabbed a rich woman toy and beat his younger brother Zou Zhaolong so hard that Alon looked like he wanted to die... This big boss was so angry that he really pissed off countless viewers.

Many citizens even complained to ATV. After all, the picture was too disharmonious and could easily teach children bad things. ATV followed the good example and changed it to a version in which Hong Xinbao grabbed a golf club and beat Zou Zhaolong violently.

It lasted until November 18, and after nearly a month of publicity and promotion, (Two Antiques/Smoking Barrels) was grandly released around the world.

In the four-day opening weekend, North America exceeded US$36 million, Europa exceeded US$31 million, Hong Kong, Haowan, Matai, Island and South Korea exceeded HK$310 million, and mainland China exceeded RMB 300 million.

The global total exceeded HK$1 billion in the first weekend!

In addition to the strong performance at the box office, in terms of film reviews... it cannot be said that he has received rave reviews, but that every media in Hong Kong has praised the film to the sky, not only Zhao Donghuai's return to the film industry, but also his multi-line narrative style.

I was very surprised to see the black humor on the big screen.

Director Zhao's acting skills are even more praised to the heavens.

Even Zhao Donghuai, who praised it, didn't even notice it... It wasn't just Hong Kong's Haowan, Hollywood media, and various European news media that also praised this movie to the heavens.

Don’t forget that Zhao Donghuai managed the Oscar awards, the Cannes International Film Festival, etc., but he made a lot of money by leading the academy, the jury, etc.

He is the biggest living god of wealth in the academic circle of film critics.

Who would offend their living God of Wealth??

In late November, the movie was still in theaters, and the Golden Globe Awards, which would only be held in January 1994, had already extended an olive branch to Zhao Donghuai, with a lot of nominations for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

The best actress given there is Julia Roberts. Isn't it normal for Julia to win the best actress award?

In the Asia-Pacific region, all the nominations for various awards and best actresses are for Li Jiaxin...

Li Jiaxin was able to get nominations after being nominated for a movie, and she was so weak!

Not to mention, Ah Xin's acting skills have grown rapidly in the past few years, mainly when she gets together with a group of sisters, which puts her acting skills to the test.

Four people in a dormitory can have six chat groups, and there are more than ten people in Zhao Donghuai's family.

Ah Xin was able to grab this role from a bunch of people. Although it was related to the compromise between Jia Hui and Zhou Huimin, even if the two of them compromised with each other, wouldn't there still be a bunch of people behind? Why could she get it?

What kind of acting can you do under that kind of environment? Judging from a professional perspective, Zhao Donghuai can only say that Ah Xin’s acting is very good and his acting skills are online.

She will soon be 24 years old. At this point in the original trajectory, she has appeared in many movies and has certain acting skills, at least she will not make people look uncomfortable.

And in the movie Two Antique Guns? Her character is just like that...just a girlfriend who loves the hero and goes with the flow.

Even if Hong Qinbao, the villain, targets Zhao Donghuai, he goes to Ah Xin's mother's Tsim Sha Tsui East bar, and the two are not married yet. The character played by Ah Xin does not hesitate to support the male protagonist, playing a love-minded man who will do anything.

………………

November 25th, Thanksgiving!

Wu Jing, Jack Ma, Fan Wei and others finished shooting on the set and were walking out together. Jack poked Fan Wei in the arm and said, "Brother Fan, let's go see another scene (two antique guns)? I have to say

, Zhao Sheng’s acting skills are really amazing.”

"He is obviously so rich. He is the richest Chinese man in the world, but he can still play a small gangster who idles around all day long and dreams of getting rich through gambling and card skills. His acting skills are so strong."

Wu Jingdu said with emotion, "Yeah, just watching it twice is not enough. I have to watch it again. If nothing else, look at Zhao Sheng's acting skills and that cover. That guy's acting skills are also outstanding."

"Two super rich people can play such low-level people, it's really..."
