Chapter 8 upstart

I was already a multi-millionaire in my 20s. What kind of concept is it that an uneducated old man suddenly has 10 million in one night?I can't wait to buy everything I want to buy in my life within a week. One day I took 500,000 in cash, asked the family-making class to put it in a pocket, walked behind me, swaggered to Yang Shoucheng's watch shop, more than 20 people from the family-making class stood outside, and I went into the watch shop and asked, " What are the top ten watches? Is this the most expensive? Is it the most diamonds? Okay, here are 7, no need to pack, give me money!" Then he turned and left.For a week, I changed one to wear every day, and invited friends who used to do martial arts together to have dinner, and rolled up the sleeves deliberately for everyone to see when they met.

Drinking and driving all day long, hitting a Porsche in the morning, and a Mercedes-Benz at night, people are in a state of dizziness every day. At that time, a media reporter rushed over with a camera. I told the family members to take off their clothes and cover the license plate.Since I was a child, I like to be surrounded by a group of people, and I like to be lively. When I have money, I start to pay attention to ostentation.At that time, there were many action crews in the Hong Kong film industry, such as Liu Jiaban, Hong Jiaban, and Yuan Jiaban. Of course, I wanted my family team to be the richest and most respectable.For example, a car is 70,000 yuan, I will pay 50,000 yuan, and you will pay 20,000 yuan, one car per person.They asked me, we want the 50,000 yuan, but can we not buy a car?no!In this case, 50,000 yuan will not be given.Later, when I went out every day, there were a total of 16 cars in the family-making class, and I added a total of 17 cars. They drove out exactly the same, how majestic!At that time, as soon as I went out, everyone knew that it was Jackie Chan's family class, and what I wanted was that prestige.Wunderkind, that's what it looks like.

There are a lot of famous brand stores in Hong Kong. When I was a kid, I went shopping with director Luo Weida. He went in and looked slowly, and I sat on the side and waited slowly. Everything was very expensive there. People are afraid to stand up and stride.I sat and waited for a long time and was really bored, so I stood up and looked at the clothes, and one of them looked pretty good.I walked over and pointed to it and said to the sales lady: "Can I have a look at this?" The girl said indifferently: "It's very expensive, you can't afford it." A look of contempt .I said "oh", stepped back and sat back in my seat, feeling very frustrated.It's very expensive, I know it's very expensive, I just want to have a look, okay?

Director Luo Wei still didn't come out, and I didn't dare to leave in a fit of anger, so I could only sit there.Looking at that sales lady, the more she looked at her, the more annoying she became, and the more she looked at her, the uglier she became.She was cleaning things over there, tidying up, and after a while, she glanced at me again. Maybe she didn't mean anything malicious when she glanced at me, but I felt that she looked down on me like that. As soon as Director Luo Wei came out, she immediately went up to meet her, and said in a very sweet voice, Director Luo, what's the matter, I thought to myself why this person is so bad, it's disgusting.

Unexpectedly, I became famous in just one month.At that time, I was only 22 years old, and the salary was sky-high, 4.8 million.One day, I suddenly remembered about the sales lady, so I took the family-making team to that store again. They stood on both sides of me like bodyguards and followed me, so I walked in very reluctantly. There are no pins in the shirts sold in stores now. In the past, the shirts were packaged with many pins and wrapped in plastic paper bags.I found the sales lady before, and said to her: "This one, this one, this one, I have to try each one on." She opened each one, and I unbuttoned it and tried it on casually. Then it was thrown aside like garbage, and she took dozens of them down one after another.Then I had to try on shoes and pants. Anyway, after trying a lot, I casually said to the girl, "Do you want this one, or do you want this one? Pack it up and send it to the hotel for me." Then I turned around and left, that one The girls looked like they were about to break down.The manager of the store quickly came over to me and said, "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, but she didn't remember what you said clearly." I said, "I said it very clearly, why didn't she hear clearly? I want it here, don't want it there, I want everything to be wrapped as if it were new, and not a single pin is missing, and they are all sealed for me." After finishing speaking, he went out.

These shirts are still in a corner of my house today, bought and never worn.At that time, it was just to get revenge on this girl, who made her look down on me, hum.Do you know how long that woman has to stack that pile of clothes?I feel very happy just thinking about it.You see how bad and naive I was back then.Thinking about that time now, you thought it was revenge and vented your anger, but in fact it was just ignorance.What are you mad at with a girl?If it were now, I would definitely forgive others.At that time, I still had no confidence and was always afraid of being looked down upon by others.

After I have money, I still look like a big old man every day. This is all intentional. I am confronted with those snobs, which makes me feel the pleasure of revenge.At that time, the big boss Run Run Shaw asked me to meet at the Peninsula Hotel.When I was doing martial arts in the past, I often passed by the Peninsula Hotel. I didn’t dare to go in and have a look. I finally got the chance to go in, and I didn’t even dare to step on the carpet.After becoming popular, I was invited by the big boss of Shaw Brothers to have afternoon tea there. I felt very happy. I brought 8 people from the family-making class and deliberately walked in wearing jeans and vests. Everyone saw that it was Jackie Chan.The waiter hurried over and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Cheng, we can't wear vests here." I said, "Oh? You can't wear vests? Then find me a shirt." They gave me a shirt , I put it on casually without buttoning it, and just chatted and drank tea with Run Run Shaw.The next day, I went there to meet someone again. I was wearing a shirt and a pair of shorts, and walked in again. The waiter had no choice but to come over and say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, we can't wear shorts here." I said again: "Okay, then help me find a pair of trousers." They gave me the trousers, and I put them on in the coffee place in the hotel, and after I put them on, I deliberately zipped them and didn't unzip them.These two times, there were a lot of people watching and pointing, and I felt very happy in my heart. Those rich people are well-dressed every day, but I am not like this. Even if I want to break your rules, you dare not because I This look despises me.

Later, when I came to the United States, I found that no one knew who Jackie Chan was, even though I was already popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.At that time, I didn't speak English very well, and I was completely confused, so I couldn't be arrogant.The film world there hit me deeply. I thought I was already a big star with a salary of 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars. I didn’t know what a real big star is until I got to Hollywood. People got 5 million US dollars!At that time, I was thinking, wow, can I get paid $5 million one day?Now it seems that as long as you dare to think, fight and work hard, dreams are still possible.Later, let alone 5 million, I even got a salary of 20 million US dollars, plus about 26 million in dividends.

Ever since I was rich, until today, I have always had 50,000 to 60,000 cash on me.One is because after people get used to being poor, they feel safe when they have cash.When I was in Hong Kong, I always kept 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in my wallet. In the United States, it was 30,000 to 40,000 U.S. dollars. In Beijing, I kept 10,000 yuan. The main reason is that my wallet is full of 10,000 yuan. Put 100,000 RMB.The face value of the Hong Kong dollar is large, and only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars are very thin.The second is that I am not used to using credit cards. In the past, because I haven’t read any books, I don’t know how to sign, and I don’t know how to use cards.In the past, using a credit card was not as easy as it is now. After you finished swiping, you would just sign for it. At that time, you had to fill out a complete form, such as name, address, and various English content. I was afraid when I saw it. Sometimes after I sign my name, people compare it and say that my signature doesn't match.In fact, it’s because I’m not very good at writing, and my writing is different every time, which makes it very troublesome. Later, I used cash to buy things, and I started counting the money whenever I wanted to buy something.Americans usually carry at most 50 dollars with them, and the rest are credit cards. Looking at my situation, I will be intimidated and think to myself: "Oh, my god! Who is this person?" But who made me unable to fill out the form? ?You can only count the money on the spot, and when you need to spend more money, ask the family team to catch a bunch of them.In the future, my reputation will become bigger and bigger, and many people will know who I am, and it will not be so troublesome to swipe my card.Now my credit card has no name, I don't sign the back of the card, it's all empty, anyway, everyone will believe me.There is a black credit card in my wallet that has unlimited limits. Anyone who finds it can use it to buy a plane, but it depends on whether people believe you or not, haha.

I love the buzz, and anytime a meal is a big crowd.Jaycee Jaycee seems to have told his friends that since he was a child, he never had the impression that a family of three eats a meal, and that they all eat with a group of people.More than ten years ago, I spent about 16 million on inviting people to dinner every year.At that time, friends from all over the world often came to Hong Kong. I would definitely take everyone to eat. After eating, I would go to karaoke to sing, go to nightclubs to drink, and have fun with my friends. On average, 50,000 to 60,000 a day is not enough to run away. dropped.My family always says that I'm too wasteful, we don't save money in other places, can't we save money on food?

For a year, I made up my mind to save money.I tell my friends every day that I won’t have dinner with you today.Everyone said yes, and each withdrew.As soon as everyone left, I didn't know what to do, so I went back to the company to edit the film by myself, looking for something to do, thinking that it had been a long time, and looking at the watch, it was still so early.I had a hard time that year, and at the end of the calculation, I saved more than 8 million yuan in food expenses.I just said to myself, why bother?Why are you wronging yourself so much?After that, I can't save it anymore. For a while in Beijing, I got tired of eating at several restaurants I often go to. My colleagues took me to a small Vietnamese restaurant. Seven of us ordered a bunch, and the final bill was more than 700 yuan. I said, "It's so cheap!" Everyone said , Brother, such a small restaurant is not cheap at more than 700 yuan.I just thought that I usually invite everyone to dinner, and each meal costs tens of thousands, and I don’t even look at the bill, so I just sign.Usually, as long as I go to the clubhouse to hold meetings with people at night, I will invite the staff there to have supper every day.These are all on my account, no wonder Sister Jiao once joked with my friends and hoped that I would work more and join the crew to film every day, not only saving the money for dinner, but also making money. I like to give gifts, and I remember exactly what I promise to give.More than ten years ago, I wanted to make a batch of leather clothes of my own brand.Since 2000, I have designed it for more than a year. I used the best lambskin. I couldn’t find a suitable place to make it in Hong Kong, so I took it to Japan to make it. At that time, it cost about 6,000 Hong Kong dollars a piece, which was very expensive.That batch of clothes was well made, and each piece was numbered and signed. I was reluctant to give it away casually, and it would offend people if I gave this or not, so I decided to give it to someone special. I happened to be in London at that time, and I saw Li Yongbo, the head coach of the badminton team. At that time, everyone was betting on what would happen if they won five consecutive championships. leather jacket.In the end, they won five consecutive championships.I keep my word, when they were attending an event in Shenzhen, I gave them all the leather clothes, put them on myself, and sang "True Heroes" on stage with them, and bowed to them.Especially when I saw the players who were in charge of training with me, I felt very moved, and I felt an indescribable feeling.It is already difficult to win a championship, but five consecutive championships are really amazing! From having no money to having money, from wasting money to doing charity, I also grew up all the way.I don't mind people saying that I am uneducated and upstart. I have indeed gone through that stage myself, but now I know how to spend my money where it should be spent.
