Chapter 218: Did He Cross Over?
As soon as Xu Ziming walked into a restaurant near the Shanghai Mansion Hotel, Qiu Degen's assistant stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Qiu is over there, please come with me." ”
Xu Ziming followed this person, his eyes swept around in the tea restaurant, and he actually saw a man with a pager, who was very ostentatious and talking to a beautiful woman drinking tea.
The beautiful woman was in her early twenties, with a slightly large mouth, and was being amused by the other party to chuckle quietly from time to time.
I only heard the man show off: "This pager is very expensive, and the gold is very expensive." ”
The girl said enviously, "How much?"
The man boasted: "A few thousand yuan, you may not be able to buy it after working for a few years." ”
Xu Ziming was disdainful in his heart, and finally one day he would make pagers cheaper.
Walking to Qiu Degen's table, Xu Ziming dragged away the chair and sat down, smiled at Qiu Degen, and began to order tea.
Qiu Degen waited for Xu Ziming's tea to be served before he said: "Although the idea of the municipal government proposing to invest in Pudong is not welcomed by many people, it must be a topic that will often be raised after the construction of Pudong." ”
Xu Ziming said with a smile: "Uncle Qiu's words are very pertinent. ”
"You are becoming more and more humble, and it is indeed a good quality of young people. ”
Xu Ziming couldn't figure out what Qiu Degen wanted to do, so he became more and more modest and said, "What does Uncle Qiu want to say." ”
The two of them were talking a lot, and Qiu Degen took out a document from his pocket and said, "This is what I received yesterday." Radio Asia's beauty pageant will soon be successful. ”
Xu Ziming thought that Qiu Degen was talking to him, and immediately smiled: "Then congratulations to Asia Radio for competing with radio stations." ”
Qiu Degen smiled: "You kid are hurting me?"
Xu Ziming said: "No, Uncle Qiu has a mind on the radio, and I have a mind on the movie." Does Uncle Qiu have the heart to develop in the film industry?"
Running a radio station does not make any money at all, just like the later Lin Baixing took over the queen of Asia Television, and the loss during the operation period was as much as more than 3 billion yuan.
Qiu Degen shook his head and said: "It's too troublesome to be a radio station and an entertainment company, I only have one TV station as an actor training base, and the key is that there is no theater." ”
"Huh. Shaw Brothers Film Company is now reducing production year after year, and Uncle Qiu can directly buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Xu Ziming said with a smile.
Even if Qiu Degen wants to open a film company, he doesn't have the resources as good as Xu Ziming.
Qiu Degen and Xu Ziming chatted a few more words, and Zhengse asked: "Is it really that profitable to shoot a film now?"
Qiu Degen's radio station's net profit in a year is only 10 million yuan, while Xu Ziming's film industry in Hong Kong can box office tens of millions of dollars for a single film.
Xu Ziming asked rhetorically: "It depends on how to do it, not all film companies can make money."
?”
Qiu Degen drank his tea, put down his cup and asked: "If I am an investor, and the box office of the invested movie in Hong Kong Benfu can be as high as 20 million yuan, how much profit can I make?"
"In this way, I will use my example to tell Uncle Qiu the truth. The box office of Hong Kong Benfu is as high as 20 million yuan, deducting the cost of theater maintenance, star remuneration and other expenses, 20 million yuan can have a profit of 10 million yuan. Xu Ziming saw a suspicious look in Qiu Degen's eyes, and added: The premise is that my film company has its own theater. ”
Qiu Degen's tone was sluggish, and he said: "If the box office of Southeast Asia, Ben, South Korea and other regions is included, wouldn't it be as high as more than 30 million dollars for a movie." ”
Seeing Xu Ziming nodding and admitting, Qiu Degen was very envious. Now Hong Kong makes movies, which is more profitable than the Far Eastern Bank he opened.
Qiu Degen suddenly opened his mind and said: "If I shoot a movie on ATV, can I invite its artists to Mingjia Film Company to shoot." ”
Xu Ziming didn't know that Qiu Degen actually had the idea of making a movie at this moment. After all, making movies and TV stations are both entertainment careers.
However, at this time, the Hong Kong film industry still has a strong view of the door, for example, Golden Harvest will never lend Cheng Long to others to make films. And Xu Ziming is the same, Zhou Yanfa, Zhou Xingchi, Liu Dehua, Zhang Manyu, Liang Jiahui, these are transferred to Mingjia Film Company in the brokerage contract, and it is very rare for the signed artists to receive films.
Xu Ziming refused: "This is very difficult to do. ”
Although Qiu Degen was a little disappointed, he quickly lost his previous idea of making movies, and said: "It's good to be a radio station, a career that you like, and you can do it comfortably." ”
After chatting for about 20 minutes, Qiu Degen looked at his watch and said goodbye, and Xu Ziming also stood up and smiled.
Qiu Degen returned to the car and sighed, "Let's go back to Hong Kong directly." In less than ten years, this young man will develop very well in both the entertainment industry and the real estate industry. ”
Qiu Degen's assistant is obviously more than just a smiling character. He asked suspiciously, "Is there really nothing wrong with this Mr. Xu's gaze?"
Xu Ziming relied on the battle of Wharf at the age of 20 to sell stocks to the charter boat king, making a lot of money and making a lot of money. Since then, Xu Ziming has entered the media's attention.
Later, Xu Ziming set his sights on the Hong Kong entertainment industry and invested in New Arts City, breaking the highest box office in Hong Kong over the years, thus making a name for himself in the Hong Kong film industry.
......
Around Xu Ziming, if you want to write a book, Xu Ziming's five-year career is not unclear without hundreds of thousands of words.
"Whether the vision will be wrong, at least for now, we don't know, maybe it will be wrong? Qiu Degen asked rhetorically.
Of course, Qiu Degen is not stupid, he will not blindly believe anything
A person, likewise, will not humbly adopt the ideas of others.
Xu Ziming paid attention to the guest who showed off the pager before, but he didn't expect that after he finished chatting with Qiu Degen, this person was still blowing water.
Xu Ziming practiced proficient Mandarin and asked the man, "Hello sir, may I ask if you have a pager in your hand?" ”
The man was blowing water with the other party, and when he saw Xu Ziming suddenly interjecting, he glanced at the other party and found that the other party was wearing a suit and tie, and estimated that Xu Ziming was also a businessman, and his arrogant tone was slightly restrained: "It's very expensive, a few thousand yuan." ”
A few thousand yuan was already a lot of money at that time, and if it was converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be more than 10,000 yuan. In terms of the average annual salary of the mainland at that time, it took a few years of work to buy such a machine.
Xu Ziming said: "It's really expensive, but I believe it won't be long before a pager can be bought for a thousand Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Crazy line, 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, a few hundred yuan can be bought, it's really a fool's dream. The man was dissatisfied and spoke directly in foul language.
Xu Ziming originally argued, but he felt that there was no need for this, when he came to the mainland, he was originally going to target the market for the Xu family, but now, he suddenly germinated the idea of developing Hong Kong's pager industry.
He said directly: "This friend, we can prove it with time." ”
The man looked at the back of Xu Ziming leaving, and complained: "This guy is really a fool, how can he sell such an expensive thing with a pager, how can I feel that he has crossed over, and he will predict, he is really like a dumbfounded." ”
The man said with some strange feelings, and then muttered to himself, "Why do you feel that this guy is a little familiar?"
After Xu Ziming walked away, the girl next to the man seemed to feel something, and said in surprise: "I seem to know the person just now." ”
The man looked at each other with strange eyes, "You know." ”
The girl suddenly thought about what came up in her mind, and said loudly: "He is Xu Ziming who sang "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que". ”
"You're not mistaken?" Obviously, this man also knew Xu Ziming's name.
At this time, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is not only particularly popular in Hong Kong, but also in inland and coastal areas, especially since the reform and opening up, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" has been regarded as a divine comedy by many shopping malls.
The man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he didn't expect that the person who slipped away in front of him was the owner of a famous Hong Kong film company.
He really regrets his death now, Xu Ziming is a rich guy, if he talked to the other party just now, maybe the other party is happy, and he may treat himself as a friend.
It is an interesting fact that many people may have fewer years of struggle than a few words, and some people are poor and destitute with a few words, but in short, it is a missed opportunity.
