According to Lin Qi's understanding of Shaw Brothers Film Company, the theater resources of the historical Shaw Brothers Film Company were contracted to Debao Film Company at the end of the 80s.

Debao Film Company should have taken over the Shaw Brothers Cinemas in 85 years, and once became one of the three major film and television giants in Hong Kong. However, this company, like Golden Princess Entertainment (New Art City), announced its closure in the early 90s.

The closure of the Golden Princess Entertainment Company is very simple, because the boss behind the company, Lei Juekun, died, and the people of the Lei family are not interested in movies, and they can't suppress the intrigues of the founders of Xinyi City. Therefore, Xinyicheng was the best period of performance, announcing the dissolution of the company and the liquidation of all assets.

Debao Film Company, a small company originally established by Sammo Hung and Cen Jianxun, contracted the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and it was mainly the business tycoon Pan Disheng who entered the film industry and became the major shareholder of Debao Films. And Pan Disheng made a movie, which is also worry-free, in order to praise Michelle Yeoh. In addition, investing in movies can have an advertising effect on the watch, jewelry, and luxury goods businesses represented by Pan Dickson. However, Pan Dickson is not just making movies after all, after the lease of the Shaw Brothers cinema line expired, plus, the film market began to cool, and he quickly announced his withdrawal from the film industry.

At present, history has changed, and Pan Disheng has not entered the film industry. The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is also operated by Shaw Brothers itself. Due to the growth of the number of cinemas in Hong Kong, the business of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is also far worse than it has historically been.

It is precisely for this reason that many local capitals in Hong Kong are reluctant to invest after learning about the attendance rate of the Shaw Brothers cinema line. It is precisely for this reason that Run Run Shaw chose foreign capital such as Japan and the United States to negotiate.

Of course, the acquisition of Hong Kong cinemas by the American film industry will be met with resistance from the industry. After all, Hong Kong movies are still very wary of Hollywood invasions.

Japan, which is not too strong in the movie, is a more suitable buyer.

"Mr. Lin, I found it out, that person's name is Yuri Aoyama, and he is an executive in charge of Sony's audio-visual entertainment project, Sony wants to enter the entertainment industry, so he is very coveted for Hong Kong's entertainment companies. After all, Hong Kong's film and television production level is higher than that of Japan, and it is much cheaper than Hollywood companies. "The secretary called Lin Qi soon after, and it was still very easy to check the information about Aoyama Yuri.

Sony's desire to enter the entertainment industry is not a secret, but a new strategic direction that has been revealed in the media many times.

Moreover, if Sony's representatives are not publicly identified, they cannot be trusted by Shaw.

"Okay, in this way, you go and tell the shareholders of Xinye Film and Television Group Company and General Manager Huang Xizhao to hold a board meeting to study the plan for the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Film Company, if you have insufficient liquidity, tell me, I will come out!" Lin Qi gave orders to the person on the phone with a serious expression.

The appearance of a Japanese consortium that bought and bought all over the world in the 80s made Lin Qi feel a little pressure.

Because, Lin Qi knows that the Japanese really have capital and really want to buy it. Throughout the late '80s and mid-'90s, Japan was investing heavily around the world.

It wasn't until the mid-90s that Japan realized that the economic crisis was not short-term, when Japanese companies realized that money was not so easy to make and began to tighten their wallets and stall their frenzied asset purchase plans.

After Lin Qi finished speaking, Xiao Xiao immediately notified the board of directors, and the directors came to the conference room, and after listening to what Xiao Xiao said, they all showed puzzled expressions.

"Why did we buy Shaw Brothers? Our film business is more than 10 times stronger than Shaw Brothers!"

"That is, even if we have money now, we might as well expand the global sales network of VCD discs, which is much more promising than the movie box office market. ”

"The Humen Film and Television Base in the mainland is developing well. In the future, we can also open up tourism, hotels, restaurants and other service industries, and invest in the Humen Film and Television Base, wouldn't it be better than the Shaw Brothers movie theater?"

"We are in the global market, Shaw Brothers only has dozens of movie theaters, and in front of the global market, it is only a drop in the bucket, with less than one thousandth of the market share. If you have money, it's better to invest in a 200 million production, and after one becomes popular, you can continue to make sequels!"

"Less, didn't Mr. Lin say that the future development of technology will be dominated by the Internet. In the future, when the network develops, the cinema assets are worthless, so let's invest in film and television bases and movie content! Cultivate more big directors, tap some big stars, and do a good job in special effects technology, which is a more worthwhile investment than that cinema chain!"

"You persuade Mr. Lin, although the acquisition of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is a drop in the bucket for the boss, it is not such a waste of money if there is too much money. Just buy a building and collect rent, which is more reliable than the Shaw Brothers cinema line!"

Xiao Xiao made a mistake this time, he called Lin Qi again, but the worst thing was that Lin Qi didn't answer the phone at all at this time, which made Xiao Xiao in a dilemma.

"What should I do, Mr. Huang?" looked at Huang Xizhao, the general manager of the New Venture Film and Television Group, who was sitting at the head of the company.

Huang Xizhao said: "I don't know much about the situation, if it is really the boss who says to vote, I will definitely work out a plan immediately." The problem is, the boss didn't tell us at all!"

"That is, the boss has asked film and television companies to invest in brokerage business, TV stations, film and television cities, and computer special effects technology for so many years, these are all long-term layouts, and we all think it makes sense. However, we haven't laid out a theater for so many years, and suddenly bought a dilapidated theater, Shaw Brothers is losing money in its own operation, we haven't done a theater, can we make money?"

"Less, don't rely on the identity of the secretary to fake the holy decree, if something goes wrong, you can't hold it!"

I felt very aggrieved, and I wanted to cry when I was aggrieved.

But......

The quality of mobile phone communications in Hong Kong can only be said to be extremely poor.

So he made several calls, and the landline changed to mobile, and mobile to fixed. The landline phone can get through, but the other side told Mr. Lin to go out.

When I call a mobile phone, I am not in the service area, and the signal service is too poor to get through.

What can he do as a secretary who helps his boss deliver news?

If he was replaced by Zhang Ru, the secretary of Mr. Lin at the beginning, he could make the people present immediately obey the order vigorously. However, now that Zhang Ru has long been President Zhang, such an errand matter will not be Zhang Ru's turn at all.

You must know that Zhang Ru's time is also very valuable, and the business he talks about every day is rarely less than hundreds of millions. Casually talking about it in a year is a business of tens of billions, and such small things are naturally not the turn of people of Zhang Ru's level to talk about.

After all, the core asset of the new entrepreneurship department is still the new venture electronic technology group.

Like the new entrepreneurial film and television group, although it can be called Asia's super entertainment giant, it is not ranked in the new entrepreneurship department.
