Chapter 407: The Departed

……

"Did you read yesterday's news?"

After putting down the teacup in his hand, Guo Shouyun said, "No, what's wrong?"

"You have changed almost the entire management of Golden Harvest, and the whole city is shaken, and now countless people are waiting to see your joke!" Li Zeju laughed.

"Jokes?" Guo Shouyun chuckled and shook his head, "What if a company with a volume of only $300 million fails? Besides, I never thought that Golden Harvest would become a joke in my hands." ”

Li Zeju nodded, "Those economic commentators and journalists are not you, in their eyes, the company worth 300 million US dollars is already very large." … However, compared to these, I am more surprised that you actually let Chongyan be the CEO of Golden Harvest?

"During this time, I investigated the operation information of Jiahe in the past five years, although Zou Chongyan is not a genius-level business manager, but he is also qualified, and I am still relieved to hand over Jiahe to her. Moreover, Jiahe's personnel changes are so big, and having her, the Zou family, can also play a certain role in appeasing. Besides, isn't there still me!"

After glancing at him, Li Zeju smiled, "Recently, your Hanhua Holdings has been increasing its stake in Standard Chartered, and their board of directors is very nervous. … You're not really going to buy it, are you?"

"What's the matter? Xian Bode is already planning to find your Li family to be a 'white knight'?"

"Not really, but a lot of people are planning to take a ride on the stock market. Especially after Liu Ruanxiong made money on Golden Harvest, there are more people who think this way. ”

"Anyone is willing to do business without capital, and so am I! GCA's acquisition of Standard Chartered's equity is only an investment, not an acquisition. Moreover, we have stopped after the Chinese New Year. ”

Li Zeju was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, "What about Liu Ruanxiong, what are you going to do?"

"You want to stand up for him?"

Guo Shouyun glanced at him lightly.

"That's not true, it's just that my father may be more optimistic about this fellow countryman, let me ask you, and try to resolve this contradiction if possible. ”

"Contradiction?" Guo Shouyun shook his head, "Actually, I don't have any contradiction with Liu Ruoxiong. He can make money from me through the capital market with his ability, I don't have much to say. As for retaliation and the like, I'm not that narrow-minded. ”

"We've known each other for so many years, and I know your personality. Retaliation is indeed unlikely, but not in capital markets. ”

He smiled at Li Zeju's inquiring gaze, "The capital market is like a casino, you win money in this game, you can't let me win it back in the next game, right?"

"I guessed you would say that! It seems that Liu Ruoxiong is going to be unlucky!"

"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe I'm unlucky!"

"For more than three years, I have never seen you fail in the capital market. ”

After Guo Shouyun glanced at him, he smiled faintly and changed the topic!

"When are you going to go to the mainland?"

"Next week, when Zhao Jianming and the Guizhou Provincial Power Plant Investment Agreement are reached, I will sign the contract. What about you, come with me, or wait?"

"Wait a minute, I still have to go to Pengcheng and go to Yangcheng by the same route, just in time to sign the contract that Jonathan negotiated. ”

Since reaching a power plant cooperation agreement with HK Electric Group, the two groups of people have gone to two places to start taking the project. However, compared with the wide net of Anping Group (which has not yet been split at this time), HK Electric Group, which has invested US$500 million, only plans to cooperate with Anping Group in three large-scale power plants with an installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts. This will ensure that they have no less than 20% of the shares in it, and will be able to have a certain say in the board of directors of the power plant in the future.

"So we can't get together?"

"Definitely. But it's not fun to get together at work, but it's better to chat like this. … Rest assured, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Guo Shouyun said.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's mid-February. At this time, the smell of the New Year is already very light. However, on the evening of 16 February, the Shangri-La Hotel's ballroom was unprecedented. Well-dressed men, gorgeous and noble ladies, walked in in twos and threes with invitations. The red carpet, as well as the countless flashing lights around it, make this place not inferior to the awards ceremony of the Golden Horse and the Academy Awards.

"I just saw Chow Yun-fat walk in!"

"What's this, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and even the red aunt who is in the shadow are here. Except for the annual Academy Awards, I have never seen a banquet with so many celebrities after 97!"

Many videographers nodded in agreement.

"I heard that tonight's banquet was hosted by the new boss of Golden Harvest, and this energy is amazing!"

"What's this, people have money, and they are also the bosses of the world's third largest media company, Hollywood will tremble if they stomp their feet. Now that Golden Harvest has been acquired again, that director and star dare not give face?"

"That's right. But didn't the newspaper say that Golden Harvest was going to go out of business some time ago?"

"What's the end, now the new boss has invested 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the shooting plans for the four new movies have been announced on the official website. This is obviously a big job, how can it go out of business. ”

"Look, Maggie Cheung is here!"

The sudden reminder made the photographers subconsciously stop chatting, grab the camera and 'click' to shoot.

Compared to the bustle outside, the interior of the ballroom is relatively calm. In such formal occasions, everyone will try to show their own etiquette. However, in addition to talking to each other and exchanging feelings, everyone's eyes did not leave the left side of the banquet hall, a tall and handsome young man.

"Brother Fa, although I am in the United States, I did grow up watching your movies. Especially the three movies "The True Color of Heroes", "God of Gamblers" and "The Story of Ah Lang", the memory is particularly deep!"

"It's my pleasure!" Chow Yun-fat smiled. Although the past movies were all ruthless, Fa Ge in reality is still gentle as jade and has a gentle attitude towards people.

"If I could, I would like to collaborate with Fa Ge on a movie on behalf of the matrix. ”

Chow Yun-fat was stunned for a moment, "Matrix? Hollywood?"

"Isn't Fa Ge developing in Hollywood now? If you cooperate, of course, you are also in Hollywood. ”

"If I can, I would be very willing to cooperate with Mr. Guo and Matrix!" Chow Yun-fat, who was happy in his heart, quickly replied.

Having been in Hollywood for five or six years, he knows very well how difficult it is to mix in the world's largest film market. If you can cooperate with the matrix, it will be of great benefit to your future development.

Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, "We will prepare the script immediately, and I believe we will call Fa Ge's agent soon." ”

"Thank you!"

After Guo Shouyun nodded, "Lose your company!"

"Mr. Guo, please!"

After leaving Chow Yun-fat, Guo Shouyun came to the two men with a wine glass, "Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Mai, welcome to my dinner." ”

Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that as soon as they came in, they met the big money owner that everyone had seen. The two who didn't dare to slack off hurriedly touched their wine glasses with Guo Shouyun, "Mr. Guo is polite, it is our honor to receive your invitation." ”

"The two are polite, in fact, I admire their screenwriting talents very much. Especially "Infernal Affairs", it is very exciting!"

"Thank you! However, in terms of screenwriting, Mr. Guo is better. Your "Pirates of the Caribbean", "National Treasure", etc., are bestsellers all over the world, and I am also a fan of yours!" Zhuang Wenqiang complimented.

"Good people always appreciate each other. After a pause, "Two, I wonder if you're interested in cooperating with our matrix?"

"Cooperation?matrix?" the two of them were surprised.

"Yes. I am very optimistic about "Infernal Affairs", hoping to adapt it into an American story and remake a Hollywood movie, and the production cost will be between 50 million US dollars ~ 100 million US dollars. I hope that the two of them can work with the writers of Matrix Pictures to complete the adaptation of the script. ”

The Hollywood version of "Infernal Affairs" is called "The Departed", and the adaptation was very successful and created a good result of 300 million US dollars at the global box office. Therefore, when Guo Shouyun came to Hong Kong, he put the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" in his own plan. It's just that everything was complicated before, and it has not been implemented until now.

"In addition, we will also pay the two of them $500,000, and if the movie is well received after its release, the matrix will also add a dividend of $300,000 each... I wonder what you two think?"

Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui glanced at each other, and the two agreed almost without hesitation. "Infernal Affairs" was handed over to Media Asia for filming, and their combined script fees were less than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now, Guo Shouyun is $500,000 per person as soon as he makes a move, and there are dividends in the later stage, so the fool doesn't agree.

"We are very willing to cooperate with Mr. Guo!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, "Wang Jue, take the two gentlemen down to sign the contract." ”

"Yes, come with me!"

"Lost!"

After watching them leave, Guo Shouyun glanced around the entire banquet hall with his wine glass, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Is Leslie Cheung here?"

Wu Xiaojing, another assistant who had already come to work, flipped through the guest list in her hand and shook her head.

"No, but his agent, Mrs. Chen, is here. ”

Mrs. Chen, Chen Shufen, she is not only Leslie Cheung's agent, but also the agent of Anita Mui, Luo Wen, Chen Baiqiang, Li Zhi and others, and she can be compared with today's Huo Wenxi in the Hong Kong agent circle.

Looking at Guo Shouyun who was walking straight towards him, Chen Shufen became slightly nervous. Although she has seen it, there are many rich tycoons she has worked with. But people who can shake the global entertainment industry like the man opposite have never communicated. The huge gap in status will naturally cause tension in the mood.
