Chapter 225: A Shadow in the Distance from the Balcony!
Li Jiacheng's fortune began in 1965, when the financial crisis broke out in Hong Kong in 1965, and then the "Cultural Revolution" spread, the economy worsened, and many real estate companies closed down and went bankrupt. He saw the opportunity to buy a large number of land and old buildings, and after two or three years, the economy recovered, the real estate market recovered, and his personal wealth multiplied rapidly, and he became famous.
This is the first time he has tried the sweetness in real estate!
In 1973, when the war in the Middle East and the oil crisis dragged down the global economy, he did the same, bought a lot of assets, and later became rich again, successfully becoming a billionaire. The more it costs, the faster it doubles, and this is the second time you've tasted the benefits in a property!
From 1986 to 1987, international oil prices plummeted below $15 per barrel and approached $10. Li Jiacheng turned his eyes overseas, entered the market again, and by 1991 had acquired a 95% stake in Canadian oil giant Husky Energy.
In other words, at this time in 1992, Lao Li was quietly developing and growing overseas. The name is there, but it is not obvious in Hong Kong!
If you think about it carefully, the history of this life's fortune is almost a history of copying. He Zilong wondered if he was also a reborn, otherwise how could he grasp the rhythm so well?
It's wrong to lose the date of birth recklessly, and it seems that there is still a chance for 97 to return to the bottom. Of course, there are also domestic policy housing market opportunities before 2015, and the previous ones can only be regarded as the incubation period.

"You say, in the face of Shaw Brothers' suppression, how should we deal with ......?" He Zilong was thinking about how to turn the topic to the movie, and Boss Lei himself spoke first.
It seems to be a way to ask, but from his expression and demeanor, He Zilong feels that this product should have an idea, so he just took the opportunity to ask.
"In my opinion, Shaw Brothers is the last madness, in fact, whether it can be done or not, they themselves are also strong. In addition, the matter of Jiahe and Shaw Brothers joining forces to block it, in my opinion, is like the cooperation between Jiangdong and Mengde in the Three Kingdoms era. I've inquired, haven't the actors in Jiahe been out to pick up jobs recently, and some of the films staged have been screened on Xinli Line......?" He Zilong is still not used to eating Western food with a knife, so he simply uses chopsticks.
"If it was in the eighties, it might be a huge threat for the Shaw Brothers to do this, but now, I'm afraid that some of their own film sources will have to rely on imports, so this blocking order, from the beginning, I don't believe in the death ...... that can be completely blocked" After listening to He Zilong's answer, Boss Lei seemed to have thought about it and nodded.
Shaw Brothers movies are the fond memories of countless people's childhood, and their excellent production and rich plot have made many people appreciate them. Among the many genres of the Shaw Brothers, especially martial arts films, drama films and literary films, among which there are four heavenly kings, Luo Zhen, Yue Feng, Li Hanxiang and Tao Qin.
Helplessly, after the 80s, Shaw Brothers went into decline, and in 1985, Shaw Brothers Film Company gradually reduced production and stopped production, and a generation of beauty finally came to an end. So only an empty shell was left there, barely supported, but the fallen camel was bigger than the horse, and of course, only less than the Xinli line.
There are many reasons for the decline of Shaw Brothers, first of all, the Shaw Brothers' on-set system has strict restrictions on actors, and at the same time, the overall style and routine are too similar to produce works outside the system.
And, the love general Zou Wenhuai started his own business and established Golden Harvest Company, which had a strong impact on the Shaw Brothers film kingdom. It's like a man who came out of England and went to a new place, and the United States of America was founded.
Don't look at the fact that the two sides are cooperating now, dealing with the Xinli Line together, I don't know when, as soon as the muzzle of the gun turns, they will fight internally again.
It's been around the 90s, and Shaw Brothers is still resting on its laurels, and in the 80s it began to show signs of collapse, which is both unexpected and reasonable. He Zilong is not the only smart person, and there must be many people who will have the same opinion as Boss Lei and He Zilong. Therefore, this incident, for Shaw Brothers, may also be the last weed that crushed him!
And in order to open up the relationship, He Zilong is now bringing the Guan family sisters, and they have not lived in the original place for a long time. Instead, they lived in a safer, more exclusive apartment. And all around, the newly recruited juniors live together in other rooms.
As long as there is an order, it may be a bit of a blow to meet thousands of troops and horses, but they will definitely not be afraid of anyone knocking on the door.
The meal was not long after eating, when Boss Lei put down the tableware and said with a smile: "Oh, if the Shaw Brothers film source is not enough, then what do you think the film source of Xinlisheng Cinema is even more insufficient? Even if you sign a contract with your film company, it is not enough for your family to produce films!"
He Zilong also smiled: "Then form an alliance with a few more companies like Xinyi City, or film companies to cooperate." Then I also supported myself to set up a film company, and I didn't have enough talent to take my time. In addition, if you want to open up the situation quickly, I have a good idea, but it is the same as you speculate in futures, there may be a certain risk?"
"Oh, tell me...... I have experienced the fact that I almost liquidated my position, and now as long as I don't rush to the sky, I can accept it!" Boss Lei said calmly.
"That's okay, my proposal is to cancel the theater guarantee system......" He Zilong said with the corners of his mouth curled.
Boss Lei's expression changed obviously, first startled, then frowned, and finally stretched, thinking about what he was thinking. In the end, his expression became cheerful and smiling.
His fingers lightly tapped the table, and he said very slowly, word by word: "Show people with sincerity, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, the risk will be transferred, and the money will buy horse bones......
What is the Cinema Guarantee System in Hong Kong?
Looking at the word guarantee, it is not difficult to understand that in the past, this was called directly pressing the risk on the producers of the film company, after all, it was a buyer's market. That is, if someone shoots a movie and wants to show it in major cinema chains.
You have to sign a contract with the cinemas, regardless of the attendance and income. There is a guaranteed fee for the cinema party.
Even if the movie is so bad that you can't even get back the cost, you have to pay a large sum of money and then give it to the movie theater to give you a double blow.
Such contracts and unspoken rules are naturally beneficial to the cinema party, and this regulation has not changed for so many years. At first, I didn't feel anything bad, but over time, I will find out.
The movies shown in the cinema are all made by familiar people, that is, every day there are some repetitions of the products of the already famous stars and the familiar old big movie companies, which appear in the major movie theaters.
Some small film companies and newcomer actors with ideas, innovations, and fresh blood are pressed to the bottom and can't get out. Because I was worried that the movie I made would not be able to get back to my roots, it had not yet been released, and the cinema had exploited several layers of skin.
Such rules will make there be fewer newcomers, fixed old people, and rigid classes. And it is difficult for old stars to change their thinking, and it is difficult to break through their acting skills, and there is no progress if there is no threat. And those original actors always wash their eyes in front of them, and over time, the audience may also be aesthetically fatigued and have some thoughts that they don't want to go to the cinema to watch movies anymore.
The process may be slow, but one day, it will turn the Hong Kong film and television industry into a pool of backwater.
