Chapter 332: Meet Qiu Degen (4000+ chapters, ask for subscription~)

"Even without the support of Yaoguang Group, this Wu Jianye is not easy to deal with, don't forget his other identity, although he has not released an album in the past two years, but the influence of the album "Born Out of the Sky" is still there, as well as "Jurassic Park", which has been selling for many years, which has brought him a lot of wealth, according to my investigation, the income of these two items alone is at least more than 30 million US dollars!"

Since Xie Wanqing hates Wu Jianye the most, she naturally knows Wu Jianye the best, and of course this understanding is only something that Wu Jianye showed in Xiangjiang and other places.

In the domestic situation, she doesn't think that a director can have any status in China.

Yang Ziqiong, who was sitting next to Pan Disheng, looked a little surprised, she was also born in a famous family in Malaysia, but 30 million US dollars is also an astronomical amount for their family, but I didn't expect Wu Jianye, a director from China, to have a net worth of more than 30 million US dollars!

Pan Disheng put his right hand on the table, knocked rhythmically, and said after a while: "I have investigated clearly, the reason why Wu Jianye has problems with Fengge Entertainment this time is because Wu Jianye wants his girlfriend to cooperate with Zhou Yunfa in a movie, his girlfriend, I have already asked people to inquire, she is also from China, and her sister is also a contracted actor of Fengge Entertainment, since there is no better way to deal with him now, we can let the people around him have no jobs." ”

Xie Wanqing first showed a hint of relief, and then asked with some suspicion, "Feng Ge Entertainment will agree?"

Pan Disheng smiled confidently: "The Pan family, the Chen family, and the Xie family jointly put pressure on Fengge Entertainment, even Zhou Tao himself has to weigh it, let alone a mere Liu Feng!"

Xie Wanqing and Chen Wenlun thought for a while, and showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, this matter can indeed be tried!"

Then the three of them sat around and began to discuss the specific process of exercising the matter.......

.......

Wu Jianye naturally didn't know that he had begun to be calculated, and the people who calculated him were still the famous rich second-generation Pan Disheng and others in Xiangjiang.

At this time, Wu Jianye and Gong Bin came, located in Kowloon's Liyuan Playground, which is a playground under the name of ATV Qiu Degen, which is a playground integrating Song Dynasty architecture and customs.

To be honest in Wu Jianye's eyes, such a playground can only be said to be average, but in Gong Bin's eyes, it is different, at this time there is no decent playground in China, at most it is just a park.

"I heard that some of ATV's costume dramas were filmed here!" Gong Bin walked in the playground, wearing a simple T-shirt with a pair of slacks, and holding a denim top that had been taken off because of the heat.

"Sister Mao, how about building a large studio in China?"

Gong Bin looked at Wu Jianye strangely: "It's like the Shaw Brothers on the set in Clear Water Bay?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Not bad, but it's bigger than Shaw's set in Clear Water Bay, and there are more themes." ”

Gong Zhen: "How did you come up with this idea?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Actually, this is the idea I had when I was filming "The Last Emperor", in order to shoot "The Last Emperor", we went to Yanjing, Jinmen, Liaodong, Chuncheng and other places, you think, if there is a special shooting set, there are all the scenes here, then can it save a lot of time and unnecessary costs?"

Gong Zhen thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, not to mention how much money it costs to build such a studio, even whether the country can agree to it is also a question!"

"If it's just Tangting Culture, China may not agree, what if it's a tripartite cooperation between Tangting Culture, Fengge Entertainment and Xiangjiang ATV?" glanced at Gong Bin with a smile, Wu Jianye continued: "The first cultural company in China and Fengge Entertainment, one of the largest entertainment companies in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang Satellite TV, one of the two major TV stations in Xiangjiang, jointly founded the studio in China, just this gimmick, it is impossible not to seriously consider it in China. ”

If it is just a court culture, there will definitely be a lot of micro-criticism in China, even if this is a very good proposal in the eyes of later generations, but in terms of current domestic policy, there will be many people who have different opinions on this matter.

With the rising status of Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang, as well as the long-term cooperation between Fengge Entertainment and China, coupled with the fact that Tangting Culture is the first cultural company in China, Tangting Culture has been regarded as a benchmark in China, and will also give a certain degree of support.

This is definitely a promising thing.

Gong Bin is not a person who only knows acting and doesn't hear anything outside the window, so he thought about Wu Jianye's proposal for a while, then nodded and said, "If it can really be done, then it's great!"

"It's just that you said that Fengge Entertainment can cooperate, I have no opinion, as for ATV, why should they cooperate with you?"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "That's why we came to Liyuan Playground today!"

Gong Yan showed a puzzled expression.

The owner of Liyuan Playground is the property of Qiu Degen, the owner of ATV.

Qiu Degen is also a legendary figure in Hong Kong.

Born in Huhai, his father is just a small businessman, he just entered junior high school, the family fell down, Qiu Degen had to drop out of school to work, at the age of 15 into the Shanghai Daguang Cinema as a small servant, and later promoted to manager, at the age of 21 rented the Metropolitan Cinema, screening domestic films, is an assetless operator.

But then Qiu Degen married a Bai Fumei and reached the pinnacle of his life, but when he came to Xiangjiang, he became a poor boy again, and his net worth was only a few hundred yuan.

Later, Qiu Degen worked as a slideshow advertisement for a friend's company and bought and sold films. He had been running a cinema in Shanghai for many years, so he wanted to return to his old business in Hong Kong. Xiangjiang called the cinema a cinema, and at that time there was no TV, and going to the cinema to watch movies was the main entertainment method of Xiangjiang people.

Running a theater is naturally good in the downtown area, but the rent in the downtown is expensive, Qiu Degen is out of reach, and there is no way to borrow money. Later, he recalled: "In those days, because I was from another province and my Cantonese was not very good, I was not trusted by the locals, so I always bought things first with money before goods, and it was very difficult to mobilize funds. ”

This road is impassable, and Qiu Degen can only focus on the countryside. He traveled to the New Territories for a long time, and finally rented a warehouse in Tsuen Wan to use as a cinema. Qiu Degen's principle is to save as much as possible, the rent in the countryside is low, and the villagers rarely watch movies, so they can rent old films to show them, and the rent of old films is only 1 Hong Kong dollar a day, and you can save a sum of money.

At that time, Tsuen Wan had a population of only 100,000, and in addition to local residents, there were also copycat factory workers, but they were also farmers from Guangdong Province. As soon as Qiu Degen's theater opened, it was really popular and bursting all the time.

Trouble ensues. Originally, people here had the habit of watching movies for free, and some wealthy people did good deeds and paid for people to show open-air movies, or open the doors to show them in the ancestral hall warehouse. When the theater opened, some peasants did not buy tickets, and if they were not allowed to enter, they smashed the lamp and smashed the glass with stones. Qiu Degen had to stay at the theater every night to maintain order, and these villagers gradually got used to buying tickets to watch movies.

Qiu Degen pioneered the precedent of showing matinee in a country theater. His consideration is that renting films is calculated on a daily basis, and it is not cost-effective to show them at night. Villagers do not have a work system, and their time can be adjusted by themselves. In addition, the villagers live scattered, and it is quite inconvenient to walk at night.

At first, the matinee doors were crowded, but as the influence grew, the matinee attendance increased day by day, earning Qiu a considerable box office receipt.

As soon as he had money, he set up a cinema in a township, and by 1958, he had owned 14 rural cinemas on his own, becoming the king of cinemas in the New Territories.

After becoming rich, Qiu Degen set his sights on the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, but the little money he used to open a theater was obviously not enough to make a difference in the real estate industry, so he set his sights on the banking industry.

However, at that time, people in the New Territories did not believe in banks, and would rather put their money in their own homes than deposit it in the bank, and Qiu Degen's earliest establishment was not a bank, but a money bank, which was even more difficult.

Fortunately, a fire in Tsuen Wan burned many people's money at home, and everyone decided to deposit the money in Khoo Tak-kan's Far East Bank.

The business of the Far Eastern Group gradually improved, and Qiu De suddenly became a wealthy man. Deposits are made by lending, and this is a truth that any banker knows very well. Mr. Khoo started a number of micro-loans, and he, like some depositors who didn't believe him, was not at ease with those lenders.

Although he didn't believe in others, Qiu Degen believed in himself, so he turned his left hand to his right hand and lent himself the money stored in the Far East Bank.

This was a method used by Chinese bankers at that time to make money, and it was not just for safety? In 1961, he seized the opportunity and finally bought the Lai Yuen Playground at a low price of HK$1.5 million. The original owner was Zhang Jun, which was built in 1950, but it lost money year after year. Qiu Degen thought: Even if I take over the amusement park at a loss, I will "pickle" this piece of land and throw it out when it rises, and I will definitely be able to sell it for a good price.

Qiu Degen bought animals for exhibition and added a number of entertainment equipment, which was crowded with tourists for a while, and the wealth was abundant.

As early as March 1960, Qiu Degen reorganized the Far Eastern Bank into the Far Eastern Bank. He has started a number of banking businesses and has grown his credibility and has the largest deposits among his peers in the New Territories.

At the same time, Khoo also announced that the tallest building in the New Territories will be built.

At this time, Qiu Degen embarked on another peak of his life.

This is the first half of Qiu Degen's life, although it is not said to be smooth, but at least there are not too many ups and downs, but then Qiu Degen fell into all kinds of troubles.

First of all, the run on the banking industry in the 60s affected the Far Eastern Bank, which directly led to the sale of 76% of the shares of the Far Eastern Bank to the American National Treasure Chase Bank.

Far Eastern Bank was founded by Qiu Degen, and even though GIC Bank became the majority shareholder of Far Eastern Bank, Qiu Degen still went his own way, and later a four-year lawsuit broke out between the two sides.

In the end, the strong dragon was difficult to fight the head snake, and Wanguo Baotong was unable to fight and decided to withdraw from the Far Eastern Bank. The shares were bought back by Mr. Khoo, who announced in September 1981 that the family had regained control of Far Eastern Bank. The lawsuit ended in out-of-court mediation, and the winner was naturally Qiu Degen.

However, this was only a temporary victory for Qiu Degen, and in the past two years, a crisis of confidence in banks broke out again in Hong Kong, which originated from the false account incident of Zhang Mingtian's overseas trust bank, and then again affected the entire small and medium-sized banking industry in Hong Kong.

Now the Far Eastern Bank is once again in a quagmire.

This is just Qiu Degen's setback in business, and his personal life says that he has also suffered repeated blows over the years.

His Bai Fumei wife, in 1964, accompanied Lu Yuntao, the owner of Cathay Pacific Film Company, and his wife to Taiwan for inspection, unfortunately fell into a crash. Qiu Degen was very sad, and then his aunt Qiu Jinlan married her brother-in-law Qiu Degen and shouldered the obligation to raise her sister's widowed son, and Qiu was a little calmer.

In 1983, his beloved son Qiu Dada, who was the director of Asia Television, drove drunk and killed Sir Cheng Menghui on duty, which became sensational news. Qiu Dada was sentenced to four years in prison.

These gave Qiu Degen a headache.

So when Qiu Degen received the invitation from Yaoguang Group, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Yaoguang Group is a large consortium that has emerged in Xiangjiang in the past two years, and its businesses cover many industries such as entertainment, real estate, finance, garment, and beverage.

It is the most lively topic in the business community of Xiangjiang in the past two years, and the rise of Yaoguang Group is full of legends, just like Jianing in the previous two years, the speed of the rise and the huge amount of funds that can be mobilized in the hands are eye-catching.

However, Yaoguang Group and Jianing Group are also very different, although Jianing rose fast, which is staggering, but after Jianing ended, everyone found that the funds for the rise of Jianing were mostly obtained by bank loans and money in the stock market.

However, Yaoguang Group is different, as of now, Yaoguang Group does not have a listed company, which means that their funds are not obtained from the stock market at all, which makes the business community in Xiangjiang even more curious.

I wonder where the money of Yaoguang Group comes from.

After Hurricane Yaoguang, it is now known as the Yaoguang Miracle.

Although Qiu Degen has been operating in Xiangjiang for many years, in terms of the size of the group, there is still no way to compare with Yaoguang Group.

So after receiving the invitation of Yaoguang Group, Qiu Degen quickly agreed to the other party's invitation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qiu Degen came to the headquarters of Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang Central.

Looking at a large consortium with a valuation of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was only leased to the headquarters of Exchange Square at this time, a trace of doubt rose in Qiu Degen's heart.

Now there is a consortium in Xiangjiang, which one does not have its own office building, Yaoguang Group is good, and now it is only leasing its own office space, which inevitably makes people wonder what Yaoguang Group is doing.

When Qiu Degen walked into the reception room of Yaoguang Group, he was even more surprised.

Because standing in the reception room, it was Kun who greeted him........
