5th Floor, Nathan Road Tung Ying Building, Golden Harvest Chow Man Wai Office.

The three shareholders of Golden Harvest are all there, and Zhang Heng is the only one on his side, Tang Jihua.

"Listen to Ji Hua, do you have the idea of investing in a film company?" Zou Wenhuai said straight to the point, with an indelible tiredness on his old face.

"Yes, you may have a rough idea of why. Zhang Heng laughed at himself.

Zou Wenhuai smiled and nodded: "Young Aimu, human nature, I can only envy that it is good to be young, and I can do many things if I want to." How's it going?"

"At this stage, I accompanied Mr. Tang and Mr. Pang to look for iron ore in Australia, where did I get the time and energy to start this matter. Zhang Heng shook his head with a headache.

"Then, I'll just say it!" Zou Wenhuai stared at him, saw him nod, and then said, "I don't know what Zhang Dong thinks of Jiahe?"

Zhang Heng said: "Jiahe, one of the top film companies in Xiangjiang, there is no need to question this. ”

Zou Wenhuai's eyes were blazing, and he asked, "Then what do you think of Jiahe after losing Bruce?"

Zhang Heng glanced at the three shareholders and found that the three of them were tired and depressed on their faces, they understood something in their hearts, and their expressions became serious: "If there is a lack of a banner in the short term, the main business will be hit hard, unless a new leader is cultivated in the near future." ”

As far as he knows, Ho Guanchang has already started to look for martial arts stars comparable to Bruce Lee in Xiangjiang and Wanwan after Bruce Lee jumped out of the production company, but the results were not satisfactory.

At present, Sammo Hung, who has the highest reputation in the martial arts classes in the two places, has a really poor appearance, and several of his juniors and disciples have not yet become a weapon, so they can't see the appearance of the king at all.

"Dong Zhang said accurately!" Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly, "Today, Sixth Brother Shao sent a female executive over, it seems to be a grudge and hatred, my old subordinate understands what he really means, this is the next battle book, Jiahe's future days, it's not easy." ”

When it comes to the long-term grievances and entanglements between the two brothers, Zhang Heng wisely didn't speak, just smiled.

Next, Zou Wenhuai Balabala told a lot of truths, all around Jiahe, Zhang Heng also understood Jiahe's current predicament, the problem is very serious.

The previous Golden Harvest's main movies were based on the Bruce Lee series, which is Golden Harvest's most profitable project in recent years, and only Bruce Lee's series of movies can allow Golden Harvest to launch a blockbuster offensive in Shaw Brothers without confrontation.

Now that this Optimus Pillar has fallen, Golden Harvest lacks works that can carry the crown, and the next cinema schedule will definitely be greatly affected, and ordinary films that can be used to take advantage of the situation will not look so attractive.

Because of Bruce Lee's sudden death, Golden Harvest has a more fatal problem that needs to be solved immediately.

At the beginning of '73, when making the annual budget, the three shareholders optimistically considered the economic benefits and influence of Bruce Lee's new films that have not yet been shot this year, and vigorously promoted the expansion plan of the theater chain.

"Zhang Dong, this is the case, Golden Harvest is currently in difficulty. Zou Wenhuai blushed a little, "I asked with a shy face, are you interested in Jiahe?"

"What?" Zhang Heng almost doubted his ears.

Zou Wenhuai is not a stubborn and conservative person, on the contrary, he has always adhered to an open mind and style, whether it is co-production or co-distribution, these new ways of Xiangjiang Films are all tentatively explored by Golden Harvest.

However, other fields can cooperate, and back to Golden Harvest itself, he still guards this last territory like a lion king, and does not allow others to put his beak on it.

Now, he is willing to accept foreign investment?!

Zhang Heng does not know the history of Golden Harvest very well, at this point in time and space, because of the sudden departure of Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest is also in trouble, as a major shareholder Zou Wenhuai had to sell all the property rights of his six theaters in Xingma in the next three years, and put all the money into Golden Harvest, which solved the financial dilemma that Golden Harvest urgently needs to solve in the development of Xiangjiang, so that Golden Harvest can stick to the Xu brothers a year later, and Jackie Chan superstar rose five years later.

Many people in later generations doubted Golden Harvest's position in the Bruce Lee incident, in fact, there is no reason, a good cash cow, even if it wants to drink some of it itself, Zou Wenhuai will never be willing to slaughter a one-time meat when his career enters the development period.

Zhang Heng didn't have the heart to start a film company by himself, he originally wanted to contact Huang Baiming and others through Xu Guanjie to talk to him, but now that the opportunity came, he pushed the boat down the river: "Please also ask Zou Dong to talk about the plan?"

Zou Wenhuai's plan is very simple, Zhang Heng injected capital into the shares, not to acquire equity, the original registered capital of 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Golden Harvest Company, Zhang Heng needs to invest 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars in as a liquidity supplement, so as to obtain 25% of the equity of the new Golden Harvest.

This means that the new valuation of New Golden Harvest is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the equity shares of the original three shareholders will be reduced proportionally, Zou Wenhuai is still the largest shareholder, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Zhang Heng will become the second largest shareholder.

More than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, obtaining a quarter of the equity of Golden Harvest, this price is not outrageous in the long run.

Zhang Heng remembers that in 2007, Zou Wenhuai, who was old and retired, sold all the remaining 12.00% of Golden Harvest shares to Orange Sky Entertainment in exchange for 238 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, Golden Harvest at that time was definitely much more valuable than it is now, at least one more Jackie Chan series movie copyright and dozens of its own theaters.

Although he had decided to accept this plan in his heart, he was still not satisfied on the surface, so he specially called accountants and lawyers from Daheng Group, and asked Zou Wenhuai to take out the financial statements of Golden Harvest in recent years, carefully check and calculate, and sure enough, he found that Golden Harvest had falsely reported a lot of things, such as box office data, which obviously raised the valuation evaluation of Golden Harvest.

A bunch of professionals were scheming in the conference room, Zhang Heng returned to the office with the three shareholders, and said with a wry smile: "Zou Dong, it seems that you still regard me as a wronged leader!"

Zou Wenhuai's old face flushed, and he soon stirred up his lips and tongue with high morale.

After he said it for a long time, Zhang Heng spread out his hand: "Maybe there was Bruce's Jiahe worth the price you said, but now, I entered the scene as a firefighter, is it necessary to risk burning yourself in the fire where there is no value?"

"Zhang Dong, Mr. Zou invited you to join Golden Harvest, is optimistic about the future development of Daheng Group, as a big man in the electronics industry, you must not really care too much about our industry, there is Golden Harvest for you to deal with some small things that you have no time to deal with, you can also put more energy on the industry, this is a good thing for both sides. He Guanchang played a round, "Since everyone has the intention to promote this matter, then please also say what you think, we will not be too harsh if we can seek common ground while reserving differences, after all, it is Jiahe who needs you more." ”

"He Dong is reasonable. Zhang Heng smiled, "I don't care what they are discussing now, just the preliminary conclusion just now, I think it is appropriate for me to invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars to obtain 25% of the equity of New Golden Harvest, after all, the valuation of New Golden Harvest is 50 million, but the paid-in capital is only 30 million, and I still lose 2.5 million." ”

"The capital is the business of the Commercial Administration, and the valuation is not up to them, and Zhang Dong still made a lot of money. Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "I agree with this plan in principle." ”

The other two looked at each other and nodded their heads together.

Zou Wenhuai was about to call the conference room, but Zhang Heng stopped him: "Zou Dong is slow, there is another condition for me to join Golden Harvest." ”

He wants to buy out the electronic and computer game rights to Bruce Lee's movie image for HK$1 million permanently.

This unheard of copyright authorization made Zou Wenhuai and the others think about it for a long time and hesitate for a long time, they really couldn't figure out what this game copyright meant.

Zou Wenhuai confirmed and asked: "Dong Zhang, you mean that in the future, you can use Bruce's screen image on your arcade machine, but Golden Harvest can't be awarded to other similar manufacturers?"

Zhang Heng nodded: "Not only the arcade machine, but also the TV and movie screens, on the screens of all electronic products that will be launched in the future, only Daheng can use Bruce's screen image." ”

Who knows if there will be new products to replace TV and movies in the future, and it will not be monopolized by the Daheng family at that time. Zou Wenhuai shook his head again and again.

"Lao Zou, instead of thinking about this kind of thing that is impossible for decades, it is better to think about how to recover an unexpected income as soon as possible. Zhang Heng said sincerely, "To be honest, if it weren't for the memory of Bruce, I wouldn't be ready to invest heavily in creating a new game with him as the protagonist, which has huge R&D risks and market risks, and the probability of success is very low." ”

"Actually, we just own the rights to Bruce's film, and the rights to his image are still in the hands of Ms. Linda. He Guanchang interjected.

"For the sake of Bruce, I am willing to pay 12 points of sincerity, and after negotiating with you about the image authorization of the film, I will personally rush to the United States to talk to Linda about Bruce's image rights. ”

Zou Wenhuai had a flash of inspiration in his head and said: "Dong Zhang, you will soon be the new director of Golden Harvest, if you need Daheng to use a new game with the image of blues to cooperate with Golden Harvest in the future, I don't know if there is a problem?"

Zhang Heng pointed at him and said with a smile: "Lao Zou is worthy of being a shrewd businessman, you want to take advantage of the situation to re-release, I agreed, this can be indicated in the contract, isn't it me who makes money when Jiahe makes money." ”

A few treacherous and cunning businessmen laughed, unscrupulously planning to benefit from the deceased again, Zhang Heng joined the heat, maintaining a clear heart in his heart, telling himself that this is the greatest respect and nostalgia for Bruce.
