Gui Lao's thoughts are known to everyone on the street.

Lin Chaoyang didn't say much while everyone was chatting, but Xiao Zhicheng from the Xiao family came to his side.

"Lin Sheng, what have you been busy with lately?"

"What can I do to keep myself busy? Write a novel. What has Xiao Sheng been busy with recently?"

"What can I do to help? Collect the bodies and organize the funeral."

Last year, Lin Chaoyang went to the Xiao family's funeral home to collect information and became quite familiar with Xiao Zhicheng.

After the joke was over, Xiao Zhicheng said: "Alian over here is getting married."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

"I would also like to thank you. After the publication of your novel, the society's understanding of our funeral industry has changed a lot."

Lin Chaoyang said modestly: "It's just a novel, how can it have such a big influence?"

"Lin Sheng underestimates himself too much. Let me tell you one thing. In the past, waiters at funeral parlors were the least popular. No matter how high the salary was, there were only a few applicants.

But this year we recruited one person, and more than 30 people signed up."

Lin Chaoyang joked: "It may also be that the economic environment is not good and everyone needs to work."

Xiao Zhicheng burst out laughing, "Lin Sheng is so funny. Hong Kong's economy is so developed and the stock market has reached a new high. How can the economy be bad?"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Huo Zhenting found Lin Chaoyang and said that he wanted to introduce an elder to him.

Xiao Zhicheng stepped aside knowingly, and Lin Chaoyang followed Huo Zhenting to meet his elder, the famous Malaysian Sugar King Robert Kuok.

Robert Kuok made his fortune in Malaysia. In the 1960s, the sugar industry he controlled accounted for 10% of the world's sugar market.

He moved to Xiangjiang in the 1970s and has made continuous investments in Xiangjiang over the years.

First, Kerry Trading Company was established to expand its industry to the Asia-Pacific region, and then it made multiple investments in Hong Kong in the mid-to-late 1970s.

Shangri-La Hotel, Kelley Steamship Company, Wing On Plaza, Nanyang Center, Happiness Center and other industries are all under the name of Kuok. Although he is low-key, Kuok's business layout has been spread all over Hong Kong for many years.

Especially in 1988, he first spent HK$1.37 billion to purchase Benda International's mid-level Lanxin Pavilion, Century Building, Meiyuan and other properties.

Then at the end of the year, Boss Shao brokered the deal and acquired 31.1% of the equity of Xiangjiang TV from Benda International for HK$2.2 billion.

Later generations of Chinese people all know about TVB, but they don’t know about Xiangjiang Television. The main asset of this most influential communication organization in Xiangjiang is TVB.

So in fact, Robert Kuok is now the big boss of TVB, and Shaw Brothers, controlled by Run Run Shaw, is only the second largest shareholder of TVB.

Lin Chaoyang met Robert Kuok under the introduction of the Huo family and his son, but they only exchanged a few words.

But Lin Chaoyang knew that a wealthy businessman like Robert Kuok would never want to get acquainted with him for no reason. If Robert Kuok really had something to do, he would definitely contact him again later.

After attending the Huo family dinner, Lin Chaoyang had a few more days of leisure and continued writing his novel.

The creation of the new novel went very smoothly. Last year, an article titled "The Evolution of Xu Lingjun's Creative Style in the Mid-to-late 1980s" was published in the journal of Lin Chaoyang Japanese Literature Research Association.

The three novels he wrote while living in Hong Kong were summarized as the "Hong Kong Trilogy", which gave Lin Chaoyang some inspiration.

The theme of "Entering the Teacher" is about "death", and this time he plans to write about "aging".

Tao Yushu has been away from home recently. He has gradually realized the state of "having no woman in his heart and drawing his sword as a god of nature", and his coding speed has returned to its peak.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to consider using a computer to write novels?" Tao Yumo said that night.

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, "Writing on a computer is almost meaningless.'

"Old antique!" Tao Yumo muttered.

"What did you say?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"I say true writers have to write by hand. Maybe the manuscripts they leave behind in the future will be worth something."

While Tao Yumo was busy talking, the phone at home rang.
