Chapter 469: Galaxy Film Company (Asking for Monthly Pass Recommendation Tickets)
"Xia Sheng, I'll go back and discuss it with my master, at most tomorrow, I will definitely give you a clear answer. ”
Wu Siyuan squeezed out a smile and reassured.
"Looking forward to your reply!"
Xia Yu was not annoyed that he didn't get the desired result, but shook hands with Wu Siyuan gently.
"Then Xia Sheng, I'll leave first, don't bother you!"
"Walk slowly!"
......
Seeing Wu Siyuan leave with a heavy heart, Xia Yu smiled and didn't worry too much.
"Boss, I don't think Wu Siyuan has much resistance, he does respect his master Yuan Heping, as long as he talks to Yuan Heping, Yuan Heping should agree. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang seemed to be worried that Xia Yu would be unhappy, so he thought about it and said.
"I just admire him as a person, it doesn't matter if I agree or not, with the theater, everything else is a small problem, and there are other people who can be replaced. ”
Xia Yu said nonchalantly.
After talking for only ten minutes just now, although Wu Siyuan indicated that he agreed to Xia Yu's acquisition, he also said that the company had another shareholder, his master Yuan Heping, so he was not the only one in charge.
Therefore, after going back to discuss with Yuan Heping, I will give Xia Yu an answer.
According to Xia Yu's investigation, Yuan Heping is indeed a shareholder of Siyuan Pictures, and Wu Siyuan should not just make excuses.
Anyway, Wu Siyuan promised that he would give a reply tomorrow, so it's a big deal to wait another day!
......
After Wu Siyuan left Jiuding Building, he immediately contacted his master Yuan Heping.
Until Yuan Heping came to Siyuan Pictures' office, Wu Siyuan's heart had not calmed down.
Without him, just because Xia Yu's strong entry into the film industry brought him too much shock! It can be said that it is one of the most important events in the film industry in Xiangjiang!
"Ah Yuan, what are you looking for me, why do you look uneasy? Our "Drunken Fist" is showing off well!"
Yuan Heping is 33 years old this year, although he is not very old, but he entered the industry in his teens, and he is experienced enough to be Wu Siyuan's teacher.
Wu Siyuan smiled wryly and said: "Teacher, it's not about "Drunken Fist", it's about something big in the Xiangjiang film industry, and it happens to have something to do with us." ”
Yuan Heping raised his eyebrows and asked with some curiosity: "What is the specific situation?"
"That's the case, three days ago, I was in the Taiping Theater to find out the movie, I happened to meet the stock god Xia Yu, and then I had the honor to exchange business cards with him, who knew that yesterday I received an invitation from the stock god Xia Yu, and then I went to him in the morning, but I didn't expect to meet Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Cinema Line, and learned that Anle Cinema Line was actually acquired by the stock god, and the stock god wanted to enter the film industry in a big way, and then he also wanted to buy our company. ”
Wu Siyuan said with a wry smile, not knowing whether to rejoice or cry.
Originally, I met Xia Yu and could catch Xia Yu's line, but I didn't expect that my heart would come true.
It's just that this line is a little too tight, and he wants to tie him up directly, which catches Wu Siyuan off guard.
Yuan Heping frowned and was silent, obviously shocked by the news of his apprentice Wu Siyuan.
"Ah Yuan, can you be sure that Xia Yu's determination to come in is strong?"
After a long time, Yuan Heping asked a question of concern.
Wu Siyuan nodded heavily and said in a low voice: "Very resolute!"
He also revealed to me that the newly established Global Cinema Line will receive the full support of Jiuding Bank, and that it is not like he is telling lies and there is no need to lie to me to build the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong. ”
Yuan Heping bowed slightly, thought for less than ten seconds, and said: "Then sell it, the situation is not up to others, and taking refuge in Xia Yu is also the best choice." ”
Seeing that the teacher agreed, Wu Siyuan nodded, sighed, and agreed with Yuan Heping's statement.
No matter how good the film they make, if there is no theater screening in the end, the money will be wasted after all.
According to Xia Yu's attitude today, Universal Cinemas has acquired Anle Cinemas, with the goal of building the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, and will undoubtedly target those independent cinemas.
There are only 25 independent movie theaters of all sizes, and to meet the goals of Universal Cinemas, they will definitely be swallowed up.
At that time, there will be few independent cinemas left in Hong Kong, leaving Universal Cinemas, Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas.
Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas are basically for their own use, and there are only a few Lisheng, mainly to screen Golden Harvest movies, as for Shuangnan Cinemas, for the sake of the Taiwan provincial market, they dare not take their own films to be released.
So it can only be released in Universal Theaters.
But if he refuses Xia Yu, don't say that he is embarrassed to come to the door again, even if he comes to beg, he may not be able to release the movie.
Since this is the case, it is better to bow to the situation and throw themselves below Xia Yu, and they will have a big backer.
What's more, Xia Yu also expressed his attitude to him, only buying 90% of the equity of his company, leaving 10% to them, and this time "Drunken Fist" will be stripped away, and will not take advantage of them.
In this way, they are also small shareholders, and if they take Xia Yu's line, they will make no less money than now, and the future will be brighter!
"Then Master, I promised him. ”
Wu Siyuan exhaled lightly and said.
"Promise him!"
Yuan Heping nodded and said.
......
The next day, Wu Siyuan gave Xia Yu a reply, and Xia Yu immediately arranged to sign the contract, and soon Wu Siyuan, Yuan Heping, Xia Yu and others signed the agreement in the office.
Because it is a film company, there are no actual assets except for some equipment, old movie copyrights, employees, contacts, etc., and the previous revenue is also very low.
Therefore, after eliminating "Drunken Fist", Siyuan Pictures made a price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu spent 19 million to win 95% of the equity of Siyuan Pictures.
Among them, 9 million is the cost of purchasing the equity in the hands of Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, and the money is divided equally between Wu Siyuan and Yuan He.
The extra 10 million belonged to Xia Yu's injection of capital into the company, and Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping did not follow up, so the 10% equity in their hands was diluted to 5%, and only 5% remained.
In addition, the company has two shareholders, namely Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, each accounting for 2.5% of the equity.
As for how the equity will change in the future, it depends on whether Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping will follow up with the capital injection in the future.
After signing the contract, Xia Yu briefly chatted with Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping about some things of interest, and after a while, the topic turned to the future development of the company.
"Siyuan, the company changed its name to Galaxy Film Company, and you are responsible for the work of changing the name, no need to make a big fuss, and keep it as confidential as possible before the theater is completed, so as not to cause trouble. ”
"After the name change, recruit people as soon as possible, especially the behind-the-scenes personnel, the long-term scale should be expanded to ten times, to ensure that the company's independent annual output of films reaches ten, and the screenwriter system is implemented in film production, how to operate, if you don't understand, go to Global TV to ask Huang Xizhao. ”
"There is also the matter of the employee brokerage contract, I will ask Chen Shufen of Global Brokerage Company to contact you and do this well. ”
"Okay! I'll go back and do it right away!"
Wu Siyuan immediately nodded in reassurance.
After that, they talked about some details again, and Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping got up and left.
When they left, Xia Yu showed a relaxed smile.
The layout of the film industry is complete, and it only takes time to wait.
In fact, for the film company, Xia Yu also wants to name Universal Pictures, but the name already exists, and it is still a Hollywood giant.
There is no choice but to take the name of Galaxy Pictures, as for wanting the name of Universal, see if there is a chance to acquire Universal Pictures in the future.
In fact, it is not without benefits to take Galaxy Films.
One is that the relationship with Xia Yu will not be exposed at present, so as not to arouse the vigilance of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe.
Another benefit is long-term.
In the United States, film companies are not allowed to own theaters, otherwise they will be defined as monopolies, and the names of film companies and theater companies are different, and it is reasonable to say on face.
