Chapter 868 From now on, there are only Chinese movies!

On January 11, 2016, at the Exchange Square in Central, Hantang Literature Group was grandly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today.

As the most high-profile listed company at the beginning of 2016, Hantang Literature has been the focus of the capital market since the last month.

The total share capital is 9.06 shares, the issue price is 35 Hong Kong dollars, and the valuation is about 31.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, that is, 25 billion yuan.

This is still based on the valuation of the issue price, and it is definitely enough weight on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

I've been in Xiangjiang for a week, and this time in addition to reaching an agreement with Shaw Brothers to set up a Southeast Asian distribution company, I also came to set up Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Now the rent of shops in Xiangjiang is ridiculously expensive, and there are only 41 cinemas left in Xiangjiang, and there is not a single cinema in some districts or even in the whole district.

In such a small place, Tang An is not ready to come step by step, and the first batch of 20 theaters will be built directly.

The two giants of Huayan and China Merchants will be involved, and with the participation of these two giants, it is enough to ensure that there will be no trouble in the process.

However, the Hong Kong government has not been able to incorporate cinemas into cultural and entertainment facilities, and rental costs remain high.

This Tang An is not surprised, there is no simple one behind these large commercial centers in Xiangjiang, and the Xiangjiang government has no way to move their interests.

In this place, real estate developers are the most powerful, otherwise there would be no such sentence on the Internet: more than 80% of the land in Xiangjiang has not been developed.

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's the reality.

If you want to say that there are many mountains in Xiangjiang, then Shenzhen and Chongqing have something to say, and the population density of Xiangjiang is not as large as that of Shenzhen.

Holding on to the slow development is nothing more than the interests of those real estate developers.

Even in the future, when the housing contradiction became more and more serious, Xiangjiang did not increase its development efforts, and Xiangjiang even proposed to lease 30 square kilometers of land in the Greater Bay Area to build a new area for Xiangjiang residents to live in, and implement Xiangjiang laws, which will be under the jurisdiction of Xiangjiang.

This is the **!

The interests of real estate developers are as difficult as the sky, and they are not domestic, and the above sentence is a matter.

However, the Hong Kong government will give certain subsidies to cinema facilities in the future, and give tax breaks for three years.

Relative to the high rent, it is better than nothing.

The average rent in Causeway Bay has reached US$30,000 per square meter per year, and for a 2,000-square-meter cinema, if you open a movie theater in Causeway Bay, the annual rent is US$60 million.

A golden section of Causeway Bay, where is the intersection with the largest foot traffic, a 30-square-meter shop costs 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars a month, and the annual rent per square meter even reaches 60,000 US dollars.

These places really can't open movie theaters, let alone movie theaters, luxury goods can't be opened, Chow Tai Fook closed six stores last year, Prada and other luxury goods are negotiating with shopping malls to reduce rent.

However, China Merchants and Hua Yan's participation in the investment and construction of a cinema still has a great impact, and Wu Zhongquan, who owns many properties such as Times Square and Harbour City, can be called a model figure of charter company, and has vacated 3-4,000 square meters of area in each of its properties and leased it to Tang'an's new company at a price of 50%.

It seems that the 50% reduction is a lot, but now the big brands are negotiating with the malls to demand price reductions of between 20% and 30%.

For him, this amount of money is nothing at all, and he can collect more than 10 billion yuan in rent a year.

The main thing is to sell the face of Huayan and China Merchants, and people with brains are not stupid, and the participation of these two giants shows the direction of the wind.

In fact, many people in Xiangjiang don't want to be as stupid as before, and there are still a few radical ones.

There were even a few parades that went to Shenzhen to find people to fill the venue, three or five hundred a day, which was more expensive than group performances.

In the past few days, under the leadership of Hua Yan and China Merchants, Tang An has visited the owners of some large properties in Xiangjiang and also talked about a few stores.

These chartered tenants are inconspicuous one by one, but their worth is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, a thousand houses are embarrassed to brag, and the most awesome one actually holds more than 10,000 houses.

There are more than 10,000 houses alone, and other properties can be imagined.

I don't do anything, I collect tens of billions of rents a year, and the money comes so easily, people are more popular than people.

At the scene of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a lot of wealthy people from Xiangjiang also came, Li Chaoren's son Li Zhekai, Rong Minjie of the Rong family, and Huo Qigang of the Huo family also came.

Aside from any other factors, as far as the Forbes Xiangjiang Rich List is concerned, only Er Li can surpass Tang An.

What's more, Han and Tang literature is indeed the sweetheart of the capital market now, although it is not like the original blessing of Tengxun, the amount of frozen capital subscribed before listing reached more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The issuance of 151 million shares is expected to raise 5.285 billion Hong Kong dollars, but as of now, the subscription amount has reached 280 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is impossible to grab it.

It is inevitable that the listing will be two years earlier, and there will be two more years of blowouts in the industry in the future.

There are too many rich people in Xiangjiang, and Tang An can't cope with them, and more than half of them have never even seen them.

As the leader of the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, Lin Jianyue, Xiang Huaqiang, Yang Jiacheng and others also came, but they were a little out of place with the atmosphere of the scene.

It is no secret that Tang An, Hua Yan and China Merchants want to build a cinema line in Xiangjiang, and even cooperate with Shaw Brothers and Southeast Asian countries to develop Southeast Asian distribution business.

Once Tang An holds half of the market share of the Xiangjiang cinema market and monopolizes the distribution business of Chinese films in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang Films is bound to usher in a huge impact again.

Xiangjiang movies have been relying on foreign ports for decades, and now Xiangjiang movies are not easy to sell in the mainland, and Baodao can't sell them, and the same is true in the mainland, so they can only rely on the Southeast Asian market.

Although it is not much, it is not a problem to make some money by selling it for hundreds of thousands of dollars per country and selling it for millions of dollars in Southeast Asia.

If Han and Tang Dynasty successfully opened up the Southeast Asian market, a large number of Chinese-language films will definitely enter the Southeast Asian market in an all-round way, which will inevitably squeeze the living space of Xiangjiang films.

Several people's faces were not very good-looking, and Yang Jiacheng also instigated Xiang Huaqiang to make trouble, not only for the cinema that was about to be built in Xiangjiang, but also for the distribution business personnel who would go to Southeast Asia to open up the market in the future.

But Xiang Huaqiang is not stupid, let's not talk about what it means for Tang An to make Hua Yan and China Merchants stand on the platform, just talking about Tang An, he can't use those means.

Hundreds of billions of net worth is not just a number, everyone has to weigh it.

The means of not entering the stream can only deal with people who are not as strong as themselves now, Xiang Huaqiang has no way at all, they and Tang An are no longer at the same level.

Now Xiang Huaqiang can only hope that the "Legend of the Gods" released this year will be successful, so that he can gain a firm foothold in the mainland film industry and join the level of several giants along the way.

There were still a few people in the crowd who were not much better than them, and Shao Jianqiu, the general manager of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and several directors were at the scene.

A few days ago, they signed a contract with Cheng Hai with full of grievances.

In the future, the new company will be completely dominated by Hantang and absolutely controlled, and Shaw Brothers will only be responsible for assisting in the development of distribution networks in Southeast Asian countries, and most of the hundreds of new distribution specialists will also be transferred from Hantang.

Shao Jianqiu and the others originally wanted to get control of the distribution business, which was equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of the new company, but they were rejected by Cheng Hai.

It can be said that the future is that these hundreds of distribution specialists will take over their original distribution network from Shaw Brothers and expand it.

The distribution resources are in the hands of Han and Tang, which means that Tang An will have the absolute initiative, and Tang An will dominate the fate of Xiangjiang Films in the Southeast Asian market.

Lacking the Southeast Asian market, Tang An has built a movie theater in Xiangjiang on a large scale, and major companies in the mainland release a large number of movies every year.

"Hong Kong movies are really going to become history. ”

Shao Jianqiu, the only remaining first-class producer of the Shaw Brothers, a middle-aged man who was pushed to the high position of general manager by Li Rui because of his surname Shao, couldn't help but sigh.

The saying that Hong Kong films are dead has been shouted for more than ten years, and every few years, there are excellent Hong Kong films such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Cold War" to renew the life of Xiangjiang films.

But Xiangjiang Films can't be saved by one or two movies, and now Xiangjiang Films can still sell some money in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang, and the mainland, barely allowing the industry to continue to survive.

Once the Southeast Asian market is lost, 80% of the small and medium-cost Xiangjiang films will lose their money, and Xiangjiang films will be completely dead.

As for whether Tang An will vigorously promote Xiangjiang movies in Southeast Asia, this Shao Jianqiu can think about it without thinking.

Tang An's own company has a large number of films every year, and hundreds of movies in the mainland every year, so it is impossible not to push some small and medium-cost Xiangjiang movies.

"From now on, there are really no Xiangjiang movies, only Chinese movies......
