Two days later, the Asian sister audition officially began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the first round of the audition, 15,000 beauties will be selected, which means that there are 135,000 participating beauties who will be eliminated in the first round of the audition.

The cruelty of Sister Asia's beauty pageant can be seen.

In order to cope with the audition of 150,000 people, ATV has set up a total of 15 audition points, covering almost all 18 districts of Hong Kong.

On the day of the audition, the area around the audition site was really crowded. In addition to the participating beauties, there are also beauties' families, media reporters, and people who are happy to eat melons.

With so many people gathered together, it was really quite lively, and even the police had to dispatch police officers to maintain order at the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am now doing a live report for you at the Asian Sister Audition Point in Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui. Through our lens, you can see that the audition site is really crowded and lively.

According to police estimates, the number of people gathered here now has reached 50,000, which shows that the third Asian sister beauty pageant is really a lot of attention.

This young lady, are you the beauty of the election?"

"Yes. ”

"May I ask why you want to participate in this year's Asian sister beauty pageant?"

"Because after winning the award, I hope to enter the entertainment industry. I like Zhong Chuhong so much, I want to be a big star like her. ”

"I see. How are you feeling right now?"

"I was nervous, I was excited. ”

"Do you think you'll be able to pass the first round of auditions?"

"I don't know. There are too many beauties participating in the competition, and even the audition has to be selected one out of ten. However, even if I can't pass it, it doesn't matter, I'll just train myself. ”

"Miss, you have such a good attitude. Thank you for accepting our visit and I wish you the lucky finalists!"

……

"Brother Tian, this time Sister Ya's beauty pageant is really vigorous!" Chen Yixin said to Xia with a smile.

Downstairs of Wenhe Group, an audition point has just been set up.

Now standing upstairs and looking down, it is dense and black, and it is full of human heads.

People who suffer from dense phobia are scared to death when they see this scene.

"The more lively it is, the better. Summer laughed.

The more lively it is, the more well-known and influential it is, and the more you can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. And I can also select talents and use them for my use. Wouldn't it be nice to get more than one stone!

"That's right. Chen Yixin smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Tian, I heard that you want to engage in funds, and many banks and securities companies have come to contact us and want to help us sell them." ”

"Okay, welcome!" Summer said with a smile when she heard this.

Although the fund cannot be seen or touched, in fact, like general commodities, the wider the channel, the more it will be sold. Moreover, cooperating with large banks and large securities companies means that the credit of the fund is guaranteed, and the more attractive investors will be.

"Mr. Xia, how big is the first phase of the fund and how high is the return?" Liang Botao asked him again.

The operation mode of Kaitai Fund is as follows: the fund company launches fund products, and the bank and securities company act as agents to raise funds, and then use the raised funds to invest in the three film and television companies of Tianxia, Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng to produce films, and then obtain a certain amount of income from the box office and give back to investors.

"It's not interesting if it's too little, and if it's too much, it can't be consumed, so I think the first phase of the fund will raise one billion Hong Kong dollars." Summer thought for a moment and said, "And the rate of return is set at 20 percent, and the term is two years." ”

The three major film companies and three theater chains need at least 50 movies a year. Based on the cost of a film of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, a total investment of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is required in two years.

If all the billion-Hong Kong dollars of funds are sold, it will be able to meet the funds of the three major film companies for two years.

That is to say, the world, Golden Harvest, and Xinyicheng will truly realize the borrowing of chickens and eggs, and the white wolf with empty gloves, which is simply a good business with great profits.

Of course, this is not a business that ordinary film companies can do. Tianxia, Golden Harvest, and New Art City are all giant crocodiles in the Hong Kong film industry, with well-known golden signboards, and the box office results over the years are also there, which is naturally attractive to investors. Other film companies are not as good as them, and even if they want to follow suit, no one will be willing to buy it.

"Brother Tian, the annual interest rate is ten percent, isn't it too cheap for them?" Chen Yixin asked in surprise when he heard this.

At present, the annual interest rate on bank deposits is only 5 percent, but in the summer, it is willing to give 10 percent to investors. 10,000 yuan will become 12,000 after two years, which is very cost-effective.

"If you don't set the rate of return a little higher, how can you attract people to buy? Besides, with a 20 percent return in two years, I don't think it's difficult. As long as you film well, which drama can't make three or four percent of the profit?" said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia is right, he can't bear the child, and he can't trap the wolf. Hong Kong's stock market and property market are now hot, and people have many ways to make money by investing, and the rate of return is not low. If you don't invest a little money, it is indeed not good to attract investment. Liang Botao echoed.

"Hmm. Chen Yixin heard him say this and nodded.

"Bo Tao, how is the registration now, and when will it be officially established?" Xia asked again.

"It's going to be right away. We have prepared well in advance, and now we are just going through the process. Liang Botao nodded and said, "It is estimated that in another four or five days, it will be officially finished." ”

"That's good. Summer smiled and nodded.

……

Sister Ya's first round of auditions lasted for three days.

Within three days, 135,000 beauties were eliminated. The 15,000 beauties successfully passed the first round of auditions and entered the second round of auditions.

Because she had said hello in advance in the summer, Zhong Chuhong's sister Zhong Chuyan was brushed off in the first round of auditions. Xiao Nizi was very unconvinced and called Xia to complain.

"Brother-in-law, with such a beautiful appearance, how can I be eliminated in the first round?

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll go back and check to see who is blind and dares to eliminate my sister-in-law, and see if I don't fire them all." Summer nodded happily.

"Well, brother-in-law, you have to talk about it!" Zhong Chuyan saw Xia say this, and immediately burst into tears and laughed.

"Of course, when did I lie to you!" Summer laughed.

Zhong Chuyan was coaxed by him like this, and immediately stopped being wronged. After a few days, time passed, and she didn't even mention it, and forgot all about it.

Li Jiaxin unsurprisingly successfully passed the first round of auditions and entered the second round.

I didn't pay special attention to her in the summer, but the maid at home, Sister Wu, was simply a big speaker. As soon as Li Jiaxin was shortlisted, she broadcast it, and it was so troublesome that she couldn't even think about it in the summer.

The second round of auditions, held again after a two-day hiatus.

This time, 1,500 beauties will be selected from 15,000 beauties.

Although the acceptance rate is still 1/10, this time it is the best of the best, and the competitive pressure is undoubtedly greater.

……

Just when Sister Ya held the second round of auditions, in the United States, the summer acquisition team had written a letter of intent for the acquisition, and then sent it to Columbia-Samsung Pictures to officially launch the acquisition.

The offer is $3.2 billion, including $1.9 billion paid to Coca-Cola and $1.3 billion in debt. The offer also leaves $200 million for negotiation.

For the offer of $3.2 billion, Columbia-Samsung Pictures did not officially respond. However, according to the grapevine, the company's shareholders are still relatively satisfied with this offer.

Because Columbia-Samsung Pictures is now worth only $3 billion, and after excluding the $1.3 billion foreign debt, there is only $1.7 billion. Now the summer is willing to pay $3.2 billion for the acquisition, which is actually a very high price.

But Coca-Cola remained unmoved, did not respond, and did not know what their idea was. Whether to accept or reject makes Summer a little confused.

"Could it be that Coca-Cola is really waiting for 'Cheng Biting Gold'?" he thought with a frown.

$3.2 billion is already a very good price, and if Coca-Cola is not satisfied, it will be in trouble. Although I am willing to spend money in the summer, I don't want to be wronged.

Back then, Morita Schov spent a lot of money to buy Colombia, and lost $3 billion in the next five years, but he was joked about for several years and was forced to resign as chairman of Sony.

Summer doesn't want to be like him, spending money and being treated as a Kaizi.

"Michelle, with the agency, directly absorbs the outstanding shares of Columbia-Samsung Pictures on the stock market. Summer instructed, "Talk to the other shareholders and buy their shares." ”

Since Coca-Cola is shameless, don't blame him for being hard. $3.2 billion is enough for him to win a lot of stocks.

"Yes, boss. Michelle nodded.

"By the way, if I take another stake in Coca-Cola, I will join the board of directors of Coca-Cola. Summer commanded again.

Coca-Cola is now worth about $14 billion, and it only needs to buy five percent of the shares to have a chance to join the board of directors, which means that it will cost $700 million. Summer wants to get into the board of Coca-Cola and put pressure on them.

"Okay, boss. Michelle nodded again, "That is ...... in terms of funds."

"I'll help you figure it out. "But when the acquisition starts, do what I command." ”

As far as he knows, the '87 stock market crash was not only affected by Hong Kong, but also by the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and France...... Almost the world's stock markets have been robbed. Therefore, during a stock market crash, the US stock market will also plummet. At that time, not only will there be a lot of shares to buy, but the price will be very cheap, so why not!

"Yes, boss. Michelle responded.

……

Just when Michelle represented the summer and launched the acquisition of Columbia-Samsung Pictures.

Hong Kong Kaitai Fund Co., Ltd. officially announced its establishment, and at the same time launched the first phase of the product - Kaitai Fund I.

The fund is a closed-end fund with a total amount of HK$1 billion and a maturity of two years with a projected return of 20%. Ten investment banks and brokerages including HSBC, Citibank, Bank of East Asia, Hang Seng Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Sun Hung Kai Securities, South China Securities, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs Securities are responsible for sales.

Kaitai Fund Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Wenhe Building, on the opening day, Li Jiacheng, Guo Bingxiang, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yutong, He Hongshen and many other bigwigs personally attended the opening ceremony.

The media reporters who came to interview saw so many business tycoons cheering for this fund company, and they couldn't help but be surprised that their glasses fell off.

You must know that rich people like Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, and Zheng Yutong will not easily support others. Now they are all here to carry a sedan chair for the summer, and even Shen Bi is rushing to send a flower basket to celebrate, which shows how thick the connections in Hong Kong are in the summer.

"Mr. Xia, why did you think of setting up a fund company?" the reporter interviewed.

"I started a fund company for two main reasons. First, the development of Hong Kong films requires a lot of funds. However, the funding sources of film companies are relatively limited. For example, Xinyicheng relies on the support of Mr. Lei Juekun, and Debao Pictures relies on the support of Mr. Pan Disheng......

Once their business goes wrong, the film company's funds will be cut off, which will affect the company's operations. It is therefore necessary to expand the sources of funding and maintain its stability.

The second is that the Hong Kong film market is now very prosperous, and a lot of funds are interested in investing here, but there is no way to invest. Many investors lost money and fell for the deceived, which not only dampened their enthusiasm, but also brought shame to the Hong Kong film industry.

Therefore, in order to solve these two problems, I co-founded this fund company with Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng to raise funds through funds. It not only solves the problem of shortage of funds for film companies, but also provides channels for investors, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Summer explained.

"Will the funds raised be used to make films, and will there be misappropriation and fraud?" the reporter asked again.

"Rest assured, I assure you that all the money raised will go to the production of the film. Xia said with a smile, "The fund company will send people to keep an eye on each project to ensure that the rights and interests of investors will not be damaged." ”

"Mr. Xia, how are these funds distributed, and can any film company apply for investment?" the reporter asked curiously.

"Because the fund company has just been established, everything is still being explored. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of funds and the rights and interests of investors are not harmed, we will initially limit several film companies with good achievements and good reputation in the industry, such as Siyuan Pictures, Yongjia Pictures, Film Studios, etc. Summer explained.

The companies he mentioned are actually subsidiaries of their three giants, which actually limits the use of funds only by the companies of the three alliances. However, only insiders can understand this, and outsiders don't understand the ownership of these companies, and they think that this fund company is very fair.
