Chapter 118: Build a company and put it away
"You guys are mainly doing it for money!
Don't tell me anything about brotherly righteousness, it's all false!"
Wang Xin stretched out two fingers and tapped the table with his knuckles, seemingly careless, but actually poked the key casually.
"Yes and what!
If you don't have money, the brothers will drink the northeast wind!
What do you want to say, I don't have time to go around the bend with you here, there is one to say one, there is two to say, don't learn to fight with the master at a young age!"
Tsui Hark's temper is obviously quite straight, of course, it may also be because he has been the leader of the Kowloon Gang for many years, and he has cultivated a temperament that has not been false and wrongful for many years.
At the beginning, I could still see that Wang Xin was an investor, and he said two or three sentences euphemistically, and after talking for a long time, his true character was naturally exposed.
"Okay, since you're happy, then I'll just tell you straight!
How much do you charge for protection money every month, and do you know how much money you can make when a movie is made?"
Wang Xin knew very well that it was completely useless to use other big truths to talk to him about these things, and he still had to use interests to attract him.
"I'm not afraid to scare you when I say it, we can collect two or three hundred thousand yuan per month for protection fees.
Normal around 200,000, there can be 300,000 during the New Year's holidays!"
When Tsui Hark said this, he still felt quite good about himself, and even had a little bit of pride.
After all, this is two or three hundred thousand, not twenty or thirty yuan.
In this era when the average monthly salary per capita is thirty or fifty yuan, you can receive two or three hundred thousand yuan just for collecting protection money, which is already quite a remarkable thing, which is nearly 10,000 times the per capita salary.
There are more than 600 people in their Kowloon Gang in total, and if they are evenly divided, each person can also divide three or four hundred.
Of course, in fact, the average must not be average, and they must take a little more, and the rest of the little minions will be good to have forty or fifty points.
This is still the generosity of their Kowloon Gang, some of the lowest-ranking minions and gangsters under the big gangs don't even have the money to take it.
"Dollars, pounds!"
Wang Xin raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.
Living on Hong Kong Island, the so-called two or three hundred thousand is naturally Hong Kong dollars, but if Wang Xin doesn't talk about dollars and pounds, how can he reflect his forced qualifications?
Sure enough, after listening to Wang Xin's question, Tsui Hark, who was full of pride just now, couldn't laugh, and even coughed several times with choking, almost choking on the tea in the cup.
He has only one idea now, that is, the kid on the other side dares to say it, and he dares to say two or three hundred thousand pounds and three hundred thousand dollars.
"You kid dare to say that if I can have two or three hundred thousand pounds a month, then at least I have to wait for my power to multiply tenfold.
Otherwise, if you want to receive so much on the current turf, it is not a protection fee.
What's that called?
Kill the goose that lays the golden egg!
What do you want to say to me so much? Could it be that I will follow you to make a film and build that entertainment company with you, and I can make two or three hundred thousand pounds a month?"
Tsui Hark said impatiently.
There was no concern in the tone, and he didn't care about making movies or building an entertainment company at all.
"Why not?
Do you know how much an A-list star earns over there in the United States of America?
The annual income is not less than 10 million US dollars.
That's just the income of an A-lister.
If it is an entertainment company with more than a dozen first-line stars, dozens of second- and third-tier stars, and hundreds of fourth- and fifth-tier stars.
Guess how much money this entertainment company should make?"
Wang Xin is really embarrassed to talk about the entertainment companies on Hong Kong Island, because the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island can only be regarded as just starting.
How weak is it?
At this time, the highest box office of the movie that year was only worth one million, and the total box office was only more than 10 million.
"What do you mean by talking about the United States of America, no matter how much money people make over there, what does it have to do with us!
Isn't it possible for us to sell movies or something?
Don't think I don't know what the box office is on Hong Kong Island right now.
A film will have a million box office if it dies, and if you remove the cost, and then remove the miscellaneous commissions, you can earn two or three hundred thousand thanks.
I can now earn two or three hundred thousand yuan a day by collecting protection money or something, which is no better than bothering to make a movie, and I have to worry about being afraid, worried that the box office of that movie will not come well.
What's more, there are a few movies that have good box office every year, as far as I know, there are only three movies that have grossed more than one million this year!
There are so many movies released every year, and only three or five can exceed one million at the box office.
We can't do this kind of brain-like business.
Of course, if you pay for it, and we Jiulong Gang contribute, and if you lose it and earn our participation in it, then this entertainment company can still do it!"
Tsui Hark's plate of beads couldn't be better.
Thanks to Wang Xin's responsibility and earning a tie, if Wang Xin can really agree to this kind of steady profit and no loss, then he Xu Ke will definitely participate enthusiastically.
"Boss Xu's abacus is really good, anyway, you don't lose anything, right!
Okay, I can agree with what you said.
However, you have to listen to me when you look back, what you do, what movies you make, who you sign, and you can't unspoken rules.
Moreover, since you do not bear the profit and loss, then you only have the right to dividends, not the right to participate in the proposal.
What do you think?"
To be honest, Tsui Hark's idea is indeed quite excessive, but Wang Xin doesn't care at all, because this is more in line with his heart.
It's best to be able to do things, but if you can't do things, it's a big deal to find a group of extras and give some protection money by the way.
Anyway, what Wang Xin wants most is just to use the Kowloon Gang to open this entertainment company for the time being.
As for profit and loss.
At this time, the economic development of the entire Hong Kong Island was not good, and the box office of Hong Kong Island was just that.
No matter how good the shot is, what can it be?
is to put the movies with a box office of billions in the future on the current Hong Kong Island, and the box office will only be millions if it is dead, and there can be no more, because everyone's purchasing power is there, and no matter how much it can be.
Therefore, Wang Xin didn't plan to make much money, let alone open a company specializing in making movies.
I just want to open an entertainment company over there first, go back and find more good ones with acting skills, cultivate them in the company, and go back to the path of a brokerage company.
It's the kind of company that specializes in cultivating celebrity models.
It's just going to be on for the time being, and I'll train it internally for a year or two, and then I'll talk about it after he gets his smartphone, laptop, digital video camera, and so on.
It shouldn't take much time anyway.
