"I'm not interested!" Xu Zhi shook his head and refused.

Zou Wenhuai asked, "Why?"

"Zou Sheng, what is the real purpose of wanting to break into Hollywood? Don't tell me that it is to promote our Xiangjiang culture. Xu Zhi asked with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai spit out a word: "Interests!"

"Yes, it's profit. Xu Zhi said: "Golden Harvest strongly promoted Chen Long to Hollywood for the sake of profit, so is my rejection of your proposal, because the interests are not enough, I am not interested!"

"A Hollywood movie can earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and Xu Sheng has also participated in the filming of one himself, can't Xu Sheng look down on hundreds of millions of dollars?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Zou Sheng, you have secretly changed a concept, of course I am also red at hundreds of millions of dollars, but the movie I shot back then, although the investor was I, a Chinese, but the culture in the whole movie belongs to the West, strictly speaking, it is still an American movie, although it is rare for an American film to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, it may still be successful, but Chinese films, I don't believe that there can be such a return."

And your plan is to be an actor who wants to be popular in Hollywood, this plan Golden Harvest can try, because the profit margin is very high if it succeeds, but the same profit return is not interesting to me, and the total profit is too low. ”

"Profit margin, total profit!" Zou Wenhuai also understood, different values have completely different views on the same investment, for an ordinary person to invest 10,000 can earn 10,000, this kind of return is already very high, but for billionaires, even if there is a profit of 100,000, I am afraid that they may not be willing to spend their efforts to invest.

After thinking about all this, Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Thank you Xu Sheng for your advice." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said to Shao Yifu: "Shao Sheng, can this dish be closed?"

"Haha, the food in this big hotel is naturally not bad, but what Xu Sheng said is so wonderful that I am a little fascinated!" Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"Just talk about it!" Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Shao Yifu said: "In fact, if Golden Harvest is fully prepared to develop the American market, wouldn't it be more convenient for Xu Sheng's plan?"

"What plan?" Zou Wenhuai asked, he didn't believe that Xu Zhi invited him over just for this kind of small talk.

Xu Zhidao: "Shaw and I have reached an agreement that Hutchison Whampoa will buy all of Shaw's cinema chains in Heung Kong. ”

"Hutchison wants to enter the theater field?" Zou Wenhuai frowned, he had long known that Shao Yifu intended to transform his career, give up the film field and enter the TV industry, and he was also more concerned about the wireless board of directors some time ago, so he naturally knew what was going on, and now it seems that the reason why Xu Zhi helped Shao Yifu was because he sold the theater to him.

Xu Zhidao: "So I invite Zou Sheng here today, I hope Zou Sheng can think about it carefully, open a price, and Hutchison is willing to buy all the theaters in Zou Sheng's hands!"

"Xu Sheng's request is too much!" Zou Wenhuai said: "I don't know the deal between you and Shao Sheng, but I won't sell my theater." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: " I understand that in Xiangjiang, the cinema chain is the core asset of Golden Harvest, but because of this, it is the biggest threat to the entire film market in Xiangjiang, the film companies of all parties are separated, your movie will not be released in my theater, and my movie will not be released in another theater, which has actually caused a lot of unnecessary internal friction, for well-known companies, you can also count on Waifu to recover costs, but for some small film companies, it is in vain to add countless costs, this movie is naturally for the sake of profit, less interests, and less capital flowing into this industry。 ”

Zou Wenhuai asked, "Can Xu Sheng guarantee absolute fairness?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course I can, because I can't look at the interests of the movie, so for the highest interests of the theater, it is inevitable to screen movies fairly, whether it is a veteran director or a film of an unknown company in the future, I will set the number of screens on the first day according to the investment, type, actors, and directors, and then it is to look at the market, and everything will come according to the rules." ”

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Since Xu Sheng can't watch the interests of the movie, can he see the interests of the theater chain?"

"Yes, I don't really like it. Xu Zhi shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I don't value the profits of the film industry, but I fancy the development of movies, I am also a human being, and there are times when I am bored, I just hope that there are a lot of high-quality movies to choose from when I am bored!"

"It's that simple?" this answer obviously made Zou Wenhuai a little difficult to answer.

Xu Zhi smiled: "It's that simple, it's not entirely commercial interests. ”

"Regardless, Golden Harvest doesn't plan to sell the theater chain. Zou Wenhuai still refused.

Xu Zhi handed over a few documents and said, "Zou Sheng, let's take a look at these things first, right?"

Zou Wenhuai took it, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Xu Sheng, what does this mean?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's nothing, Hutchison has recently made business adjustments and bought a lot of properties in Xiangjiang, many of which happen to be the location of Golden Harvest's cinema line." ”

"So, is Xu Sheng planning to take back the cinema in breach of contract?" Zou Wenhuai's face turned pale, after all, Jiahe has not been established for a long time, and the background is not as good as Shao Yifu, its cinema chain is basically rented, and now the property has been acquired, although there is still a lease in hand, but if the other party fights to pay liquidated damages, it can also forcibly take back the cinema.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Zou Sheng, don't worry, it's not right to buy and sell, I won't do this kind of thing."

But Zou Sheng should also know that some of your cinema contracts are basically not long, and when the contract expires, I can also take back the cinema chain. ”

Zou Wenhuai was silent and did not speak, at this time, Xiangjiang was dominated by real estate economy, and the theaters he rented were not long-term contracts.

Xu Zhi continued: "In addition, in addition to these, in the next few years, Hutchison will also build new cinemas in shopping malls in many prime locations in Xiangjiang.

Zou Wenhuai said with a pale face: "Xu Sheng really wants to be so desperate?"

"It's like this in the mall, Zou Sheng thinks I'm doing a great job, so think about it, have you ever done the same thing to other people?" Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled.

Xu Zhi handed over a check and said, "This is the price of the transaction, does Zou Sheng feel satisfied?"

"Can I take a stake in a new cinema company?" Zou Wenhuai looked at the check and said suddenly.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, the cinema line is one of the important layouts of Hutchison, and it will soon invest a huge amount of money to open channels in Southeast Asia, Japan and other countries or build its own cinema line, which requires hundreds of millions of funds, can Golden Harvest come up with it?"
