"Yes, Mr. Xia, if you can't distinguish and refuse them all, won't you overturn a boatload of people with one stroke, and even turn away legitimate investment?" Mai Jia also asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Summer nodded, knowing that distinguishing between hot money is indeed a difficult problem.

Because hot money or dirty money are wolves in sheep's clothing, and it is difficult to distinguish them from legitimate investment.

Therefore, when cracking down on hot money and dirty money, it is naturally easy to throw a rat trap and tie your hands and feet.

In fact, Hong Kong films also need investment, and the strength of the three of them alone will not work.

The so-called sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great. The reason why Hollywood can have today's prosperity is also because it absorbs funds from the world and continues to grow itself.

For example, Australian media tycoon Murdoch, Sony Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Wanda Group, ...... have successively invested heavily in the acquisition of Hollywood film companies. As for the examples of collaborative filmmaking, there are even more numerous.

Therefore, it is not possible to keep all foreign funds out, but it is also not possible if it is fully liberalized.

Even Hollywood, which has the most developed business and the most freedom, is not indifferent to foreign funds.

Sony's acquisition of Columbia caused an uproar. The Americans exclaimed, "Japan is going to buy the whole of the United States!"

When Wanda Group acquired Legendary Pictures and the AMC cinema line, it also caused panic among Americans, demanding that the government strictly review its acquisition.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a mechanism that allows legitimate investment to flow in, but does not lead to wolves.

……

After thinking about it, Summer's eyes suddenly lit up, "Two, I have an idea." “

"Mr. Xia, please speak. When Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia saw it, they all listened attentively.

"You two should remember how I made my fortune in the first place. Xia explained, "The three of us can set up a film fund to attract outside investment. “

Hearing Xia say this, Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai's eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why Xia Xia was able to develop rapidly at the beginning was because he used a unique fundraising method to invite film companies from all over Hong Kong to invest in his films, which easily solved his financial problems.

"Our fund can be managed by professionals, for example, we can cooperate with banks to raise funds from the public. Agree on the rate of return, the time of return, the time of redemption, etc. Summer further explained, detailing the film fund in her previous life.

Film funds originally emerged in Hollywood, and with the rapid development of the mainland film market, it has also attracted the attention of capital.

Later, various film funds were established one after another, absorbing public funds and investing in film and television dramas. even dominated the crowd, playing a capital game in the name of investing in film and television dramas.

For example, the box office fraud incident of "Ip Man 3" that broke out in 16 years originated from the fact that investors widely absorbed investment from the society in the name of investing in movies, with a scale of up to 10 billion yuan.

In his previous life, he worked hard in the mainland entertainment industry and knew a lot about the operation of the film fund. But Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia heard these for the first time, and they felt really fresh and eye-opening.

"Mr. Xia, you are really good. Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, feeling that the summer is still a bit of a spectrum.

"Mr. Xia, you are simply a genius! This is really a genius idea, you can apply for the Nobel Prize in Economics. Mai Jia was much more excited than him, and exclaimed loudly.

Summer just said this set of things, it is estimated that even those financial experts on Wall Street may not be able to think of it. At least when he was working hard in Hollywood, he had never heard of anything like it.

Summer smiled. Film funds only emerged in Hollywood in the 90s, and it's normal that Mai Jia hasn't heard of it.

"The establishment of a film fund can not only solve our financial problems, but also prevent the influx of hot money. Summer smiled and said, "If you agree, then it's decided." “

The purpose of hot money investment is to make high profits in a short period of time, and they ask for a high rate of return.

The profit margin of film funds is generally around 10%, which is not enough to attract hot money, but for ordinary investors, this is indeed a relatively high-return investment, so there is absolutely no problem in absorbing public funds.

"Good. Mai Jia immediately responded.

Zou Wenhuai was a little hesitant, not knowing if this method would work. However, seeing that Xia Xia and Mai Jia agreed, he couldn't veto it anymore, so he nodded as well.

"Okay, that's it. Summer laughed.

……

"Alright, that's all I can think of, do you two have anything else to add?" Summer added.

"I'll mention one. Zou Wenhuai said, "I think that in addition to not being able to poach people from each other's companies, we should also pay attention to poaching outside companies." “

Summer was stunned for a moment, then smiled. This one is clearly aimed at himself. Didn't he just buy Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Pictures, as for being so unrelenting.

"Then what is the method of attention?" he then asked with a smile.

"Yes, how do you pay attention?" Mai Jia also asked curiously.

"One rule of thumb is that you can't rob someone else who has used it. Just like soaking horses, you can't rob other people's horses, and you can't do the front horses. Zou Wenhuai said confidently.

Wu Siyuan is his "former horse", but unfortunately he was poached by the summer. Seeing their "concubine" appearance, he was jealous in his heart.

"This one is not very operable. For example, Zeng Zhiwei started to work in your Golden Harvest, and later went to Xinyi City, but he filmed "Hardcover Chasing Girls" with me. Then whose horse do you say he is, and who is qualified to rob him?" Xia waved his hand and smiled.

When Mai Jia heard this, her face turned dark.

Zeng Zhiwei used to be one of the Seven Monsters of the New Art City, and he was highly valued, but he was also the first person to quit the New Art City, and he was a traitor. If there is a chance, Mai Jia really wants him to return to Xinyi City, and then hide him for a hundred years.

"Mr. Xia is right, like this kind of 'three-surnamed house slave', who do you think should belong to?" Mai Jia also spoke.

Hearing what Xia and Mai Jia said, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but be stunned, unable to find a reasonable solution.

"Since Mr. Zou, you don't have a solution, then don't join this regulation that is full of mistakes and omissions. Summer then said.

Zou Wenhuai shuddered his lips a few times, wanting to fight again. But he really couldn't make sense, and finally gave up.

"Mr. Mai, do you have anything else to add?" Xia asked Mai Jia again.

Mai Jia thought about it, and finally shook her head.

"Let's set these three articles for the time being, which happen to be the 'Three Chapters of the Law'. Xia smiled, "If we have any other opinions in the future, we will add more." ”

Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai both nodded.

"Okay, since both of you agree, then we'll settle it. Summer said, "I hope we all abide by these three regulations and don't disobey the law." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Hearing him say this, Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia couldn't help but shiver.

If Summer really wants to deal with them, with his strength, they won't be able to hold out even a round.

"Good. Both nodded.

……

In the summer, the news of renting four leading cinemas of Shaw Brothers for 30 million Hong Kong dollars and subleasing them to Golden Harvest and New Arts City quickly spread, and the glasses were shattered.

In the past year, how ferocious the fight between Summer and Shao Yifu has been, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they do not share the hatred of the sky.

But now, the Shaw Brothers' theater is rented to the summer again, and the rent is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really unpredictable.

After renting the theater in the summer, it was not kept for his own use, but subleased to Golden Harvest and New Art City, which is even more confusing.

"Did Sir Shao take the wrong medicine, and even rented the theater to the summer again? And it was even lower than the rent he received before, did he forget how miserable they fought before?"

"In my opinion, Xia has a lot of ability, and he must have caught Sir Shao's handle, so he had to rent the theater to him again. ”

"It's weirder to do things in the summer. Renting the theater to not use it for its own use, but renting it to Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng, what the hell is this?"

"Could it be that Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Tianxia Pictures are going to unite? If that's the case, then the other film companies will be miserable, either closing down or being swallowed up!"

Many filmmakers in Hong Kong have talked about it, and they all smell a strong smell of conspiracy.

And Debao, good friends and other companies that intend to lease these four theaters are all stunned when they receive this news.

"What's going on, haven't we already discussed it with Sir Shao?Why is he signing a contract with Xia now?" Zeng Zhiwei couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news.

He made an appointment with Sir Shao to lease four cinemas for 60 million Hong Kong dollars on the surface, and secretly sold them for 45 million Hong Kong dollars.

But now, the news that Shao Yifu has signed a contract with Xia, and the lease is still ten years long, which completely shatters his hope of getting the theater.

And without the support of the theater chain, then his good friend can only be an independent production company, and he can never become a film giant. He will never be able to become a movie tycoon like Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, and Summer.

What's even more unfortunate is that in order to hook up with Sir Shao, he specially spent 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the celebrity Peng Jicai next to Sir Shao.

Now, the money has been spent, the time has been delayed, and in the end the transaction has failed, which really makes him hate it so much that the roots of his teeth itch.

"I don't know. Chen Baixiang said, "I asked Mr. Peng, and he didn't know the inside story. ”

"It's not clear, it's not clear, it's not clear. Made, when you ask for money, how can you be clear?" Zeng Zhiwei said angrily.
