Just when Xia Yu acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Store and established Eternal Jewelry, the movie "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" was also being released.

Universal Cinemas started with 20 theaters, and later after the lightning acquisition of Lisheng Cinemas, it rose to 24, and also screened the movie "Laughing Fist Tricks".

There are too many screens and seats in Universal Cinemas, and even if "Laughing Fist" is fully promoted, it still can't occupy all the release resources, so there are also other movies released during the period.

Different from the previous life, in this life, Galaxy Film Company conducts film production according to standardization, so the scripts are written first, and with the advantage of Universal Agency, the quality of "Laughing Fist Tricks" has been greatly improved.

In the previous life, "Laughing Fist Tricks" was able to win the first place in Hong Kong films in 1979, and the total box office of Hong Kong reached 5.44 million Hong Kong dollars.

In this world, under the favorable time, place and people, "Laughing Boxing Strange Moves" exploded, and the movie released by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest urgently wanted to snipe "Laughing Boxing Strange Moves", but I didn't expect to sink directly to the bottom.

In the first week of its release, "Laughing Fist Tricks" achieved a box office of 2.62 million Hong Kong dollars, with Universal Cinemas sharing 55%, totaling 1.44 million Hong Kong dollars, and Universal Cinemas' self-operated peripheral stores making a profit of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, totaling 1.56 million.

In addition to "Laughing Fist Tricks", four other films were also screened, all of which were strictly approved and determined to have a certain screening value, and a week after the screening, the four films still earned a total of 947,000 Hong Kong dollars under the halo of "Laughing Fist Strange Moves", and the Universal Cinema Chain shared 520,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In such a week, the total revenue of Universal Cinemas was 2.08 million Hong Kong dollars, and Universal Cinemas got off to a good start!

In the second week, "Laughing Fist Tricks" continued to go strong, with a total box office of 5.34 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the four films being released, the total revenue of Universal Cinemas increased slightly, reaching 2.21 million Hong Kong dollars.

A month later, the total box office of "Laughing Fist Monster" reached 8.76 million Hong Kong dollars, although it could only rank third in 1977, but it had already surpassed the highest box office record in 1978 last year.

Universal Cinemas received a share of HK$4.82 million, and Galaxy Films received a 24% share of the total box office based on investment and distribution, benefiting a total of HK$2.1 million in the Hong Kong market.

As for the distribution work outside of Hong Kong, Galaxy Film Company is naturally in charge, and now "Laughing Fist Tricks" has been screened in full swing in Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province, but these have nothing to do with Universal Cinemas for the time being.

In a month, Universal Cinemas achieved a gross profit of 6.93 million Hong Kong dollars, and after deducting labor expenses and copy costs, the net profit reached 4.85 million Hong Kong dollars.

When this number came out, Jiang Zhiqiang was very excited and immediately reported the good news to Chairman Xia Yu.

This number that surprised Jiang Zhiqiang only made Xia Yu smile faintly, but the market share occupied by this seemingly small number now represents a broad future, so he also attaches great importance to it and encourages Jiang Zhiqiang to continue to work hard and reach new heights.

After this achievement was exposed, the industry shook, and Shao Yifu and Wrinkles were depressed.

But that's all for another time.

Back in time, on April 4, MacLehose finally returned to Hong Kong after a 12-day trip north.

The media from all walks of life greeted MacLehose and rushed to interview him after seeing him, MacLehose knew that all walks of life in Xiangjiang were waiting for his news, and his answer would affect the stability of Xiangjiang.

Fortunately, he brought back the mainland's message that "please reassure the investors in Hong Kong", which caused a good response in Hong Kong. Major newspapers quickly reported the results of MacLehose's visit to the mainland with front-page headlines, and the confidence of Chinese and foreign investors was greatly increased, and the stock market, which had been volatile, was completely green.

However, some people are confident in the mainland, but others are still worried, such as British businessmen in Xiangjiang.

At the press conference on MacLehose's return from his visit to the mainland, they heard the underlying message that MacLehose did not say, that is, MacLehose's visit to the north failed and he returned, and the mainland directly drew a line and would not make concessions on the issue of the return of Hong Kong.

For a long time, the mainland has been blackened and propagated by the Western media, and in addition, Xiangjiang is separated by a sea from the mainland, so the concept of knowing more about the mainland has been deeply rooted.

Therefore, no matter what the mainland says, it is still difficult for them to feel at ease, for fear that the foundation they have worked hard for will be lost.

And for those British merchants, Xiangjiang is a colony after all, their roots are in the United Kingdom, and the market of Xiangjiang is not as good as that of Britain and Europe.

I was reluctant to leave before, just because I already had a foundation in Xiangjiang and didn't want to take the risk of going back to the UK to re-establish my foundation.

But now they can't afford not to think about it, and now that the situation in the UK domestic election situation is becoming clearer, and the Labour Party is losing ground under the onslaught of the Conservative Party, it means that the UK will be subject to economic reforms, and opportunities will be everywhere.

With this in mind, some wealthy British businessmen who were relatively cautious began to seize the opportunity to sell their property, hoping to sell it for a high price at the beginning, and then return to England.

Although this has caused a certain amount of turmoil, many Chinese bigwigs have taken over assets at low prices.

At this time, in order to implement Xia Yu's talent absorption and training strategy, after communicating with Xiangjiang Chinese University, Jiuding Consortium will hold a job fair within Xiangjiang Chinese University to attract fresh blood for various companies under Jiuding Consortium.

Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company. Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., etc., almost all the companies of the Jiuding Consortium in Xiangjiang have been dispatched.

It's April, the graduation season is approaching, and the seniors have basically no courses left, and they are starting to find a way out for their jobs.

At this time, the well-known Jiuding enterprises in Xiangjiang and excellent welfare are willing to hold a job fair in advance at Xiangjiang Chinese University, and a group of senior executives of Xiangjiang Chinese University were pleasantly surprised, and Ma Lin, the newly appointed president of Xiangjiang last year, actively approached, so on April 6, a huge job fair was grandly held.

The students who graduated from Heung Kong Chinese University this year have been notified by the school, and even if they are not the corresponding majors, the school teachers also recommend that the students go and see.

However, with the prestige of Jiuding enterprises in Xiangjiang, and the legendary stock god Xia Yu will also be present at the scene, so the entire Xiangjiang Chinese University students are excited.

Journalists from major media outlets also came, and the university considered that this was an opportunity to make a name for themselves and would be of great help to the enrollment in the next few months, so this time they made an exception to admit media reporters.

Early that morning, Xia Yu came to Xiangjiang Chinese University in a low-key manner and met Ma Lin and other senior executives of Chinese University.

"Hello, Principal Ma!"

"Hello professors!"

"Hello Xia Sheng, welcome to your arrival, let CUHK shine!"

PD: By the way, I asked for a recommended ticket monthly pass on Monday, and the data is not ugly, thank you!
