Chapter 383

Jin Yong is not very interested in science fiction, but he is very interested in Wei Ming's science fiction.

In the 60s and 70s, "Ming Pao" also serialized the Wesley series, but they haven't cooperated for a long time.

In addition to Ni Kuang's price being too high, the main reason is that he feels that the Wesley series is not high-end enough and is not worthy of "Ming Pao", which enjoys a high reputation among the elite class at this time.

And although Wei Ming's "Jurassic Park" series is not as imaginative as Wesley, the core idea "life will always find a way" makes the depth of this adventure thriller story suddenly rise, and it also increased a lot of sales for "Ming Pao". I heard that many foreigners like to read it. No wonder it can be marketed overseas. It's a pity that "Ming Pao" picked up second-hand goods.

Now that I hear that Wei Ming is looking for a first-release platform for his new science fiction work, Jin Yong is naturally looking forward to it.

"I don't know how it compares to 'Jurassic Park'?"

"The entertainment value is not as good, but the depth is definitely far beyond."

That's it, it's a work that "Ming Pao" needs!

Then Wei Ming turned back to talk about comic adaptations: "Cha-Sang, you said if the response to 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' is good, but the sequel 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is bought by someone else, wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others?"

Jin Yong smiled slightly. The young man is playing tricks with me. He waved his hand: "In order to solve your worries, the Condor Heroes and Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre will also be handed over to Madman Comics."

He felt that Wei Ming was a bit excessive if he said more.

Wei Ming stopped at the point: "That's good, the first release of the Chinese version of my new work will be placed in 'Ming Pao'."

"Chinese version?"

"Yes, this is an English novel, but I will translate the Chinese version myself."

"English novel? You?"

Jin Yong was very incredible, and his curiosity about such a novel was even stronger, but Wei Ming said it was still in creation and would notify him as soon as it was completed.

Wei Ming looked at his watch: "Then I'll leave first. There are friends waiting for me downstairs. I'll let Ah Long come over to sign the contract later."

When he arrived downstairs by the car, it was exactly 28 minutes, and Mao Mao Amin was looking out the car window eagerly.

She started to get bored after sitting in the car for a few minutes, and then kept waiting for Mao Mao Amin to appear.

After Wei Ming got in the car, she asked with a smile: "How was the talk?"

"Very successful, Jin Daxia is very reasonable."

The car started and headed straight for Ocean Park.

Hong Kong Ocean Park is located in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island, covering a wide area, divided into two parts: mountain and mountain bottom, which can be traveled back and forth by mountain cable car.

At this time, Japan's Disneyland hasn't been built yet, and Hong Kong Disneyland doesn't even have a shadow, so Ocean Park is the most hardcore amusement place in Hong Kong. Not only are there killer whales, but it is also about to have a pair of giant pandas.

When Wei Ming and Vivian Chow went in, they could already see the huge promotional poster. The panda was still a cartoon version because they didn't know what the panda coming to Hong Kong would look like, and there was no exact time for welcoming guests.

However, just this promotional poster increased the number of tourists in Ocean Park by 10% year-on-year.

The ticket price here is not expensive, 20 Hong Kong dollars for adults. You can play in most places for 20 Hong Kong dollars. Only some amusement facilities on the mountain need extra money, so Ocean Park is now operating at a loss, but it is continuously subsidized by the Hong Kong Jockey Club behind it.

The Jockey Club is too rich, and almost all the rich people in Hong Kong are members of the Jockey Club.

Wei Ming and Mao Mao Amin are not in a hurry to go to the Xiong Mao Pavilion. They play slowly like ordinary couple tourists. First, they go to visit the aquarium famous in Asia. In terms of scale and fish species, they are all in the forefront of Asia.

There is no such modern aquarium in the mainland, but Wei Ming is a person who has been to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, so it's just okay to look at it here.

And this is Mao Mao Amin's second time here. When her mother just made money in business, she brought her here once, but she still felt fresh. Many fish species were seen for the first time, and she asked Mao Mao Amin to take photos for her from time to time.

"Wow, this little fish is so cute, the color is so bright, it looks silly."

"Nemo." Wei Ming blurted out.

"What?" Mao Mao Amin turned to look at him.

"Nothing, just gave this clownfish a name casually." Wei Ming smiled.

Hearing this explanation, Mao Mao Amin pointed to a larger clownfish next to it: "Then what about this one?"

"Marlin."

"Then this one?" At this time, another blue tang fish came over.

Isn't this a coincidence? Wei Ming laughed: "Dory, let's say."

At this time, the aquarium staff began to introduce some fish species and characteristics to tourists. Wei Ming hurriedly pulled Mao Mao Amin over to listen. These underwater creatures are not native to Hong Kong, and are even rare in Asia.

These deep-sea creatures are really wonderful. One of Wei Ming's big regrets in his previous life was not learning to dive, because he was old when he wanted to learn and didn't dare to take risks. In this life, he must try if he has the opportunity.

"Hello uncle, can you take a photo for us?" Mao Mao Amin immediately chose a passerby.

Wei Ming and Mao Mao Amin took many photos separately. When preparing to leave the aquarium, Mao Mao Amin stopped a lonely old man and asked her to help take a group photo.

The old man was still wearing a mask and looked very introverted, but he agreed when he saw Wei Ming.

I heard that there are dolphin and sea lion performances at this time, and you can also see the killer whale "Hoi Wai".

Wei Ming and Mao Mao Amin bought a bottle of drink and ran over, and Mao Mao Amin insisted on buying only one cup, and the straws were one, so there was no way but to share it.

After watching the performance, the morning passed. The two ate a seafood meal in the park restaurant. I don't know if they ate the employees of Ocean Park or the employee meal. I feel that the fish on the plate is the same kind as the one the dolphin just ate.

The place where they ate was very high. They saw a place that was fenced off for construction. Wei Ming asked the restaurant staff and was told that it was the Asian Animal World being built with the Xiong Mao Pavilion as the core.

And this pavilion was started because of two giant pandas. In order to make the two distinguished guests from Sichuan not feel too lonely, they prepared to purchase some more Asian animals.

Wei Ming and Mao Mao Amin looked at each other and went over to see after eating.

Then they were stopped: "Sorry, this is under construction and is not open yet."

Wei Ming took off his sunglasses: "I am a mainland representative, here to accept the construction progress of the Xiong Mao Pavilion."

Although he didn't have a work permit, the employee who happened to be guarding the door knew Wei Ming and was his music fan. He could indeed represent the mainland. After all, the two giant pandas originated from him.

Just when this person was about to let the two in, someone behind suddenly shouted: "Little Wei, Mr. Wei!"

Wei Ming looked back and it was the old man who helped them take photos in the aquarium. He pulled his mask down a little, and Wei Ming immediately recognized him.

"Boss Chiu?"

He hurriedly made a "shh" sound and pulled the mask up again.

Standing in front of Wei Ming was the 57-year-old owner of Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park, Chiu Te-ken. Before Ocean Park, his Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park was the first choice for Hong Kong citizens to play. However, with the continuous updating of Ocean Park's facilities and projects, the number of people going to Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park to play has obviously decreased.

I heard that Ocean Park's giant pandas are coming soon, so Chiu Te-ken wanted to come and see, but he did it more covertly to prevent the media from making trouble.

Wei Ming and Boss Chiu became acquainted because of the charity concert. He even donated more than 3 million that day.

Wei Ming whispered to him: "Are you here to scout the enemy's situation? Why do you, the boss, do this kind of thing yourself?"

"I also want to see for myself to what extent Ocean Park has developed." Speaking of this, Boss Chiu sighed somewhat, feeling that Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park has no competitiveness compared to Ocean Park, which is just more convenient and closer for tourists in the northern part of Hong Kong.

Wei Ming asked: "Do you want to go in and see the Xiong Mao Pavilion?"

"Can you take me in too?"

"Yes." With one word from Wei Ming, the two became three.

It feels like this has been basically completed. Because pandas are afraid of heat, this is a closed building. Through air conditioning to adjust the temperature, the style of the Sichuan mountainous area is completely restored inside, full of wild interest.

Wei Ming said to Vivian Chow: "If you have the opportunity, I will take you to Sichuan to see real wild giant pandas."

"Hmm." Mao Mao Amin held Wei Ming's arm and nodded vigorously.

This dog food couldn't hurt Chiu Te-ken at all. He had been observing the place where pandas live, and it was really, really high-end!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Wei Ming heard a familiar Sichuan accent. After walking closer, the other party immediately recognized him.

"Oh my, Teacher Wei, you are here!"

This Brother Niu was sent by Chengdu Zoo to assist Ocean Park in building the Xiong Mao Pavilion. Because the other party was rich and powerful, it was obvious that the Xiong Mao Pavilion built here was more luxurious than those in Sichuan and Beijing, and the money spent was much more.

Wei Ming asked: "Then when can the pandas move in?"

"I heard that Hong Kong people like Christmas. Everyone is willing to come out to play that day. I think it is completely possible to exhibit and appear on Christmas Day." Brother Niu said.

Wei Ming: "That's less than half a month. Are you sure it's okay?"

"No problem," Brother Niu said, "I am planning to discuss with their director here, and I can let Beijing prepare."

Vivian Chow on the side was overjoyed. That's great. With Mao Mao Amin leading, she can have close contact with giant pandas!

Chiu Te-ken sighed softly. Once the giant panda comes, I don't know how long Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park and Song City can last.

In fact, he had long entered the real estate and banking industries, and recently even had the intention to enter the television industry. Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park is considered a somewhat marginal industry in his industry, but his feelings are relatively deep.

After coming out of the Xiong Mao Pavilion, Chiu Te-ken took off his mask: "I believe that if Ocean Park is self-financing, Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park still has the power to fight back. It's a pity that it is supported by the Jockey Club behind it, and it doesn't care about profit or loss at all."

The key is that he is also a member of the Jockey Club.

Wei Ming said meaningfully: "When the era rolls over, it won't say hello to you at all. People always like new things more, just like movies, which used to be a very important form of entertainment, but later television was invented."

Wei Ming said this deliberately to cater to his preferences. Sure enough, hearing this insight, Chiu Te-ken was very surprised and happy.

"You are also optimistic about the television industry?"
