New Territories, Sha Tin Racecourse, VIP Hall!

The arrival of Rong Le and Shen Bi attracted the attention of everyone in the VIP hall, one is the folk god of wealth in Xiangjiang, and the other is the richest man in Xiangjiang.

Some low-level tycoons, if they want to come to say hello, they have to weigh whether they are qualified enough, and those who can come to greet are the top richest people in Xiangjiang who have this qualification.

For example, Xu Shixun and his son, who just came over to greet the two, Xu Shixun, as the third son of Xu Xuzhou, the first generation of Xiangjiang boat kings, are naturally qualified.

The Xu family's industry has basically been separated from the shipping industry, but more involved in real estate and mining, Xu Yi's third son, the eldest son Xu Qibo has passed away, and now only the second son Xu Shifen is in charge of mining, and the third son Xu Shixun is in charge of the real estate, in fact, it is the third son Xu Shixun who is really in charge of the Xu family.

The Xu family is a well-known horse owner family in Xiangjiang, almost every member of the family has their own favorite horses, and it is normal to meet them in the Jockey Club, and standing next to Xu Shixun is his eldest son Xu Jingan and third son Xu Jinheng, Xu Shixun also has a second daughter.

Xu Shixun's eldest son Xu Jingan is low-key and rarely appears in front of the media, Xu Shixun gave birth to Xu Jingan when he was eighteen years old, but Xu Jingan is a little similar to his younger brother, and found a female artist to marry, but his wife is not famous, so the two have always been very low-key.

Xu Jinheng is 23 years older than Xu Jingan, perhaps because Xu Shixun is old enough to have a son, so he dotes on Xu Jinheng very much, so it causes the difference in the personalities of the two brothers.

Originally, Xu Jingan was supposed to be the successor of the Xu family, but in the end he walked in front of Xu Shixun

At this time, Xu Jinheng had just graduated from the United States, and he officially returned to Xiangjiang and entered Zhouxing Real Estate to serve the family business, but his ability was far worse than that of his brother

Xu Jinheng once participated in Rongle's luxurious party at the beginning, but everyone didn't have any intersection later, so it could only be regarded as a nodding friend.

"Rong Sheng, your favorite horse has come out on top today, congratulations!" Shen Bi took champagne and said to Rong Le. In a race that just ended, Rongle's horse won the first place.

"Haha, since you have participated in the competition, you naturally have to compete for the first place, otherwise there is no need to raise him!" Rong Le said with a smile, in fact, there have always been special people to manage the horse breeding, and Rong Le is not too concerned.

"Haha, Rong Sheng is getting more and more domineering!" Shen Bi said meaningfully.

"No matter how domineering you are, you can't compare with Mr. Shen's love horse, your love horse has a record of winning the first place in twelve games in a row!" Rong Le said with a smile, Shen Bi is the folk god of wealth in Xiangjiang, Rong Le didn't want to have any gap with HSBC so early, so he praised Shen Bi!

Shen Bi smiled slightly and said, "That's all in the past!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Shen Bi turned the topic to Rong Le's guarantee of Yang Shoucheng's loan at the Bank of Communications. In fact, Shen Bi didn't have much impression of Yang Shoucheng, and he didn't care about the loan of three or four hundred million, what he really cared about was Rongle's attitude!

"Haha, I have no choice, I have a loan of 400 million yuan in HSBC, if I guarantee Yang Shoucheng again, it will be a little inappropriate, and it is easy to be attacked by people HSBC for using power for personal gain!" Rong Le laughed and took the responsibility away.

Shen Bi smiled domineeringly: "Rongsheng, think too much, we HSBC naturally have our own management model, and we don't have to care about what others say!"

Rong Le smiled faintly and said, "This is natural, but as a shareholder of HSBC, I naturally have to think about HSBC's reputation!"

Shen Bi saw that Rongle regarded himself as a shareholder of HSBC, and smiled slightly, this is the attitude of Rongle he needs, no one in Xiangjiang can ignore the existence of HSBC, Shen Bi also knows how developed the banking industry in Xiangjiang is, Rongle can not only cooperate with HSBC, Rongle's large-scale investment in the mainland has been spread in the top circles of Xiangjiang.

What he is really worried about is that Rongle will cooperate with Huayin, and then leave HSBC alone, so that Rongle will be the shareholder of HSBC and the richest man in Hong Kong, and this kind of influence is the most important thing for HSBC.

"Please!" Shen Bi said with a glass of wine and Rong Le!

"Please!" Rong Le smiled slightly, knowing that this matter had passed, whether it was HSBC or Huayin, when he had not yet put his bank together, Rong Le would choose to stand in line if he was stupid, and it was the king to meet the source left and right.

Even if Rongle sets up its own bank in the future, cooperation between the three parties is indispensable, and everyone should compete for the competition, and the cooperation should be cooperated, isn't this the case in the business field?

When Rongle was dealing with many matters in Xiangjiang, there was also a new trend in the United States!

Just today, Shahai Entertainment, which was boycotted by the seven major Hollywood boycotts, once again launched its second independently produced film "Home Alone"!

After a year of development, Lei Shidong has consolidated his cinema business in the United States, although there is no way to compare with the three major cinema chains in the United States, but it is already one of the top cinema chains in the United States!

The production cost of "Home Alone" is only 18 million US dollars, but Rong Le asked Shahai Entertainment to spend 10 million US dollars on publicity costs, which made Richard Parker, the manager of Shahai Entertainment, a little unacceptable, but this project was promoted by Rong Le, what if he has an opinion?

So before the release of Home Alone, commercials for Home Alone could be seen in almost all major cities in the United States.

Even if it is not the seven boycotts of Shahai Entertainment, it is because the time of the release of "Home Alone" is also an important schedule for Hollywood, but fortunately it has avoided the early stage of the schedule, and now it is released that the top productions of the seven second-level are all released.

With the example of "Terminator", the importance given by the Seven is also much higher, especially as seen in the trailer, this is completely a family-like movie, no matter what country it is, this type of film may be called a box office hit.

The other genre is low-budget horror films!

The success of "Home Alone" is directly related to the relationship between the Seven and Shahai Entertainment, and if Shaha Entertainment can still produce a box office hit like "The Terminator", then the Seven will quickly adjust the relationship with Shahai Entertainment.

Is it just that this is more likely?

As a result, the release of "Home Alone" attracted the attention of many Hollywood professionals, even Lucas and Spielberg.

"Do you think Shahai Entertainment will be able to succeed this time?" Lucas thought Spielberg asked.

Spielberg shook his head and said, "I can't be sure about this, but I've seen the trailer of "Home Alone", and if the quality of the film can be as brilliant as his trailer, then Shahai Entertainment is likely to succeed again!"

Lucas smiled bitterly: "I also watched the trailer of "Home Alone", but it is very good, and the type is also very pleasing.

Spielberg said: "I heard that the idea for this story came from Rongle as much as 'Terminator', and I didn't expect him to be so familiar with the American market!"

Lucas said: "What's more, think about it, as long as it is a movie that he participated in investing, which one is not a big hit? The original "Raiders of the Lost Ark", your "ET", and their company's "Terminator"! Our partner has a very unique vision!"

&" has been released, the box office has reached 350 million US dollars, Rongle's achievements have taken 80 million US dollars, and Rongle has only invested less than 10 million US dollars!

Even Lucas looked at Rongle's income and was very blushing!

Spielberg smiled: "There are always some geniuses in this world, maybe Rongle is a genius in this regard!"

Lucas was skeptical: "How can there be so many geniuses in this world?"

"And how do you explain his success?" Spielberg laughed, to be precise, Spielberg also thought of businessmen, but he was different from Lucas in that between the roles of director and businessman, Spielberg was more inclined to director, while Lucas was more inclined to businessmen!

Therefore, Spielberg's sense of Rongle is more literary

"Shahai Entertainment's "Home Alone" can be developed as a series, you say that if Shahai Entertainment succeeds again, will Rongle accept our investment?" Sure enough, George Lucas's businessman face has been revealed, and he is already thinking about the rest of the matter.

Spielberg shook his head and said: "This is very difficult, if "Home Alone" can really succeed, then the boycott of the Seven will exist in name only, Rong Le will definitely introduce external investment, and at that time the Seven will be the focus of his choice, and it is very likely that there will be more than one, so at that time, the investment share of "Home Alone" will definitely be very tight, and Rong Le will not consider Lucasfilm!"

In fact, there is another sentence that Spielberg did not say, that is, when Shahai Entertainment encountered seven major boycotts, George Lucas did not help, and according to Spielberg's understanding of Rongle, he would not allow Lucasfilm to invest in "Home Alone" now.

Although some people are also very optimistic about "Home Alone", when the box office of "Home Alone" came out on the first day, it still shocked everyone!

$27.6 million!

The seven major general managers of Hollywood are almost all shouting for their company's people to re-investigate, how is this data possible? But when their subordinates brought up the rechecked data, it was still 27.6 million US dollars!

As soon as this box office came out, no one could be calm, Shahai Entertainment dug gold again, and it was a huge gold mine, a gold mine even bigger than "Terminator"!

According to this data analysis, the box office of "Home Alone" is definitely likely to hit the total box office of 300 million US dollars, and everyone knows what the production cost of "Home Alone" is, 18 million US dollars, although I don't know the specific amount of Shahai Entertainment's publicity expenses, but everyone is an insider, and they can basically know an approximate amount, about 10 million US dollars.

That is, on the first day, the box office of Shahai Entertainment recovered its cost!

"Contact Shahai Entertainment now!"

Such an order is the most important sentence today among the Seven Majors, such a big gold mine, it is impossible for Shahai Entertainment to let go of the production of the sequel, and now the Seven Majors have to do it immediately.

As for the boycott of Sand Sea Entertainment?

Don't you see that MGM is also actively contacting Shahai Entertainment?

On Saturday, Home Alone hit a new high at $28.9 million, and on Sunday it dropped slightly to $25.3 million!

In other words, the box office of "Home Alone" reached $81.8 million in its opening weekend!

The whole of Hollywood suffers from pink eye, and the red eye is called Shahai Entertainment, a film company they can't look down on!

A "Terminator" and a "Home Alone" made Hollywood begin to face up to Shahai Entertainment, and two movies with such a high investment in succession made them let go of all their reserves!

Rong Le also received a message from Richard Parker that afternoon, knowing the box office of "Home Alone" in North America, Rong Le was naturally very happy after listening to it!

"Did Leonardo behave in any way?" Rong Le asked.

In another time and space, the starring role of "Home Alone" is Macaulay Culkin, but now that he is just two years old, naturally there is no way to play it.

And the child star selected by Shahai Entertainment was Leonardo DiCaprio, who later had the beauty of the prosperous world, and this unexpected joy made Rongle very happy, so he immediately contacted Michael Owetz of CAA and asked CAA to sign Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Leon asked for an increase in salary!" Richard Parker said, this is almost a Hollywood law, after the film is a big hit, as a starring role, it is natural to increase the salary, especially the starring role in a series of movies, the salary requirement is higher than the usual salary.

Isn't it the same with Robert Downey Jr. in the Hollywood hit "The Avengers", a person's salary has almost reached the price of nearly 100 million US dollars, which is why the investment in "The Avengers" will be higher and higher, not only the need to pay high special effects fees, but also the high salary of.

So after "Avengers 4", Dake will definitely leave, as for whether it is death or great consummation, then we can only wait until the release to know.

Although the current salary is not so high, it is understandable that Leonardo asks for an increase in salary!

"The salary for him has risen to 200,000!" Rong Le thought for a while and said, although Shahai Entertainment signed three plays for Leonardo, it is also appropriate to increase the salary appropriately, after all, Leonardo's salary is only 50,000 US dollars!

As for whether Leonardo can accept this salary, Rongle doesn't have to worry about it at all, because Leonardo's brokerage contract is still in the hands of CAA.

"Chairman, now that all seven of Hollywood have called to ask about the sequel to Home Alone, and want to be able to participate in the investment in it, what should we do about it?" Richard Parker continued.

"Cool them down first, I'll take the time to go to LA during this time, and I'll make an appointment with them when the time comes!" Rong Le now has the absolute upper hand, thinking of the turtles he ate with them at the beginning, he naturally wants to let them enjoy this feeling!
