931 [Salesman's Story]
Two days later, Huang Rihua won the recognition of director Wu Yusen with his superb acting skills. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Subsequently, the movie "Bloody Heroes" officially started filming.
At the same time, Liao Yiyuan also called Xia, and after deliberation by the leadership, it was decided to allow Xia Xia to contribute 20 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares of China Merchants Bank.
Hearing that he could only take one percent of the shares, he was naturally very dissatisfied in the summer. If he remembers correctly, China Merchants Bank will be the sixth largest commercial bank in the mainland, with a market value of more than 400 billion yuan.
If you invest 10 million yuan now, you will be able to earn 40 billion yuan in the next 30 years, which is equivalent to more than 100 times the annual asset appreciation.
To tell the truth, even smuggling arms, selling poison crystals, and lending usury are not so profitable.
"Mr. Liao, can you only account for one percent?" can you take a little more?" asked Xia unwillingly.
"Mr. Xia, China Merchants Bank is the first joint-stock commercial bank in China that is fully held by a corporate legal person, which is a test of the waters, and it is necessary to continue to observe how it will develop in the future. Liao Yiyuan explained, "The leader is also worried that if the development is not good in the future, it will cause you huge property losses." ”
"In addition, banks belong to the financial industry and are the lifeblood of the country's economy, so there are always concerns about investment from abroad. Allowing you to own 10% of the shares is a risky decision. Liao Yiyuan added.
When I heard him say this, I had no choice but to give up.
However, it is already very good to be able to get a 10% share.
……
"In addition, Mr. Xia, the leader attaches great importance to your views on the Hong Kong property market, and I would like to express my gratitude to you. Liao Yiyuan said again.
"You're welcome, I'm also Chinese, and of course I don't want to see the motherland take the blame for the British. Xia smiled, "I am also a Hong Kong person, and I don't want Hong Kong people to be crazy about a house." ”
"Mr. Xia is really a good example of loving the country and Hong Kong. Liao Yiyuan said movingly.
"Then have you decided how to help cool down the Hong Kong property market?" asked Xia Xia with concern.
"Oh, how the leader decides, it should be a state secret, and I'm afraid I can't touch it at my level. Liao Yiyuan said with a smile.
Although he is the general manager of Yindu Institution and has a certain administrative level, he cannot be regarded as a high-level executive. Besides, his main task is to produce and distribute films and win over Hong Kong filmmakers. As for other things, he shouldn't have asked.
"I see, it's me Meng Lang. Summer smiled.
Indeed, how the mainland deals with Hong Kong's property market involves a national strategic level, and it has to wrestle with the British government and the British government in Hong Kong.
The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, of course, must be cautious and cautious, not sloppy.
……
"It doesn't matter. Liao Yiyuan smiled, "By the way, Mr. Xia, the leaders are very supportive of the import of ATV dramas into the mainland that you mentioned last time." However, for the content of the series, I still hope to be healthy, positive, and uplifting, and echo the values of the mainland. ”
"No problem, no problem. When I heard it, I said happily.
As long as ATV's TV dramas can be allowed to be imported into the mainland, everything else is negotiable.
The mainland market is so big, with a population of 1 billion people alone, and it will grow to 1.3 billion people in the future.
With such a large population and such a large market, what a huge business opportunity it contains.
Now ATV's dramas are imported into the mainland to seize the opportunity, and in the future, they can enjoy the dividends of the mainland's economic development.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your understanding. Liao Yiyuan also smiled.
In fact, since ATV's episodes can be broadcast, there will not be too many omissions in the content, and there is no need to go through too much review. However, the mainland is used to being closed, and it still maintains a cautious attitude towards the introduction of foreign TV dramas.
If you change to someone else, you will inevitably feel resentful when you learn that the mainland will be subject to strict censorship, thinking that you are deliberately finding fault and finding faults.
was able to agree so happily in the summer, which really made Liao Yiyuan very grateful.
"You're welcome, everyone cooperates, of course, we have to be considerate of each other, and I can understand your difficulties. However, I believe that with the deepening of opening up in the future, our cooperation will become smoother and smoother. Summer laughed.
"That's right. Liao Yiyuan saw that Xia said this, and he also agreed.
The mainland has just opened its doors to reform and opening up, and everything is still being explored, so it is natural to move forward cautiously.
In the future, when we broaden our horizons, accumulate experience, and temper the masses, we will naturally have more confidence and more means.
"By the way, how is the matter of Director Zhang that I asked you to do last time, when can they come over?" Xia asked with concern.
"I was about to tell you about it. I learned about the situation with the comrades in the mainland, and they did not embarrass the heroine on the passport issue, and they did not even receive her application for a passport. Liao Yiyuan explained.
"Ah?!" Xia was stunned, "What's going on?" Zhang Yimou said that the heroine's passport can't be handled, but Liao Yiyuan said that there is no such thing at all, which side should he listen to?"
"Mr. Xia, if you communicate with Chang'an Studios again, is there any misunderstanding in it? You have made such a great contribution to the motherland, it is impossible for us to make an obstacle in it. Liao Yiyuan said with an oath.
Summer is an old friend of the mainland, and the investment of one billion Hong Kong dollars has greatly promoted the economic construction of the mainland. Especially in the magic capital, last year's GDP rose by five points, of which 0.5 was driven by the investment in the summer.
Therefore, he has indeed made great contributions to the economy of the mainland, and has won the gratitude and friendship of the mainland government, and is known as a model of patriotism and love for Hong Kong, a red capitalist, and a good friend of the mainland. With an identity like his, he naturally enjoys more preferential treatment when cooperating with the mainland.
Since the drama "Red Sorghum" was invested by him, the mainland also treats it as an important matter, and everything is convenient, so it will not jam the heroine's passport and prevent her from coming to Hong Kong.
"Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Hearing him say this, Summer nodded.
……
After returning to the company, Summer asked his secretary Sandy to send another telegram to Zhang Yimou, asking him what was going on.
In addition, he called Zhou Liang Shuyi again and asked her to prepare a delegation from CCTV in the mainland. They came to buy TV series from ATV.
In fact, ATV's dramas have also been sold to the mainland before, such as "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", "Huo Dongge", "The Kindness of the Earth", "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again", etc., have also been sold to the mainland.
It's just that there was no money in the mainland at that time, so the price was quite low, and a 20-episode TV series could only sell for 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Moreover, the concept of copyright in the mainland is also relatively weak, and the TV series bought by one TV station were transferred to other TV stations for broadcast without ATV's permission, which seriously damaged ATV's interests, so in the end, ATV cut off contact with the mainland.
However, this is extremely short-sighted in the eyes of the summer.
Yes, piracy is an abomination, but it can't be eaten by choking.
In later generations, online piracy became more rampant, but the major film and television companies have not found the same way to make money.
If you can't make money from movies, you can make money from TV series, if you can't make money from records, you can make money from commercial performances, and if you can't make money from salaries, you can make money from online stores...... As long as you are willing to use your brains, there are plenty of opportunities to make money.
It's a pity that ATV's marketing department is full of waste, and I can't figure out such a simple truth, and I actually gave up the huge market at my fingertips, which is really damned!
"Mr. Xia, the TV stations in the mainland can't afford to pay a high price, and we don't have much oil and water to cooperate with them. Zhou Liang Shuyi was also skeptical about cooperation.
"Don't say that, being able to seize a market of one billion people is already a big bargain, how much oil and water do you want to make?" said Xia smiled.
In order to open up the Chinese market, David Stein, the chairman of the NBA, provided the NBA game video to CCTV for free, which cultivated hundreds of millions of fans in the mainland and brought hundreds of millions of wealth to the NBA in the future.
"But ......" Zhou Liang Shuyi was still a little hesitant.
The mainland market is big enough, but it is also poor enough. The average monthly salary of a university professor is only a few dozen yuan, compared to the monthly salary of the cleaning workers in Hong Kong who wash dishes, which is two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars. That's dozens of times worse.
"Don't be, haven't you heard a story? "Two salesmen were ordered to go to an island to sell shoes, and when one salesman arrived, he saw that the locals were not wearing shoes, so he sent a telegram back to the company in frustration, saying that no one here wore shoes, there was no market, and asked to go back." ”
Another salesman, seeing that they were not wearing shoes, happily called the telegraph company and asked the company to hurry up and deliver the goods. Because no one here has shoes to wear, the market potential is huge. ”
"Now that the mainland is the market without shoes, do you want to be the first salesman, or do you want to be the second salesman?" Xia asked.
"I see, Mr. Xia. Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded when she heard him say this.
"Well, it's true that the mainland economy is not too developed now, and its per capita income is much less than that of Hong Kong, but don't forget that its GDP ranks among the top 10 in the world. So you say it doesn't have money, but that's not right. Summer said again.
"Well, I see. Zhou Liang Shuyi responded, "By the way, Mr. Xia, I heard that Taiwan's three major TV stations don't want to cooperate with us, so do we want to continue to cooperate with Miss Zhang?"
"Of course it continued. Xia said, "You don't have to worry about Taiwan's affairs, just shoot with your heart." As for the rest, just leave it to me. ”
"Oh well. Zhou Liang Shuyi saw that he was so confident, so she had no choice but to agree, "By the way, Mr. Xia, our ATV training class is about to start this year, do you have time to come over and speak to the students?"
ATV, like wireless, also has training classes, but because it is relatively famous, everyone doesn't know much about it.
"Well, it is my responsibility to cultivate talents. Summer happily agreed. (To be continued.) )
