Chapter 61: People Are Forced Out
Hong Jinbao was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I said that my blood is boiling!"
After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Ah Cheng, since you have talked about this, I naturally will not admit it." However, I can't always take advantage of you, I also know that your ability to make money is better than mine, I don't know how many times, in terms of cinemas, how much money I have in shares, you can give me as many shares, and it doesn't matter if other funds come in in the future, you can just tell me about diluting shares. At the end, he smiled again: "Actually, if it is really like what you said, then as long as I have one percent of the shares, it is enough for me to live for several lifetimes, why do I need so much money!"
Wu Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, I will tell you the bottom, and our investment in cinemas and distribution will definitely not be less." It's okay to say in Asia, but it's hard to talk about it in the West, because they have anti-monopoly laws waiting for us! But these are all flexible, and there is no rush now. ”
……
Hung Jinbao left, with a surging heart that could not be calmed down.
Zhao Yazhi came back from the confusion, her face was a little hot, but she looked at Wu Cheng worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Cheng, your ambition has become bigger, I'm a little worried!"
Wu Cheng glanced at Zhao Yazhi, smiled slightly, and gave her a reassuring look.
He knew that the woman in front of him was a traditional woman, a good wife and mother, and she didn't have much ambition, she just hoped that the people she cared about could be safe and sound, and there was no need to do anything earth-shattering, and it was enough for the family to be happy.
Wu Cheng stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, the two were of the same height, but there was no sense of disobedience. Zhao Yazhi struggled a little shyly, but felt that Wu Cheng didn't have the idea of letting go, so he gave up continuing to struggle and leaned together with peace of mind.
After hugging quietly for a while, Wu Cheng's mood gradually became calmer, and then he said: "Originally, I just wanted to open a film company, so that you can make movies if you like, and rest if you don't like them." But who would want to make you busier and busier......"
"I do!" Zhao Yazhi's pretty face rubbed against Wu Cheng's cheek, and then stared into his eyes, and said, "It's not that I'm willing to be so busy for you......"
"Sister Zhi, I'll be sad if I'm in such a hurry to justify!"
Zhao Yazhi pinched the soft flesh under his ribs, glanced at him, and said softly: "Don't look at me, I used to be quite confident, in fact, before I did these things, I didn't have any confidence in myself, except for doing some inconsequential behind-the-scenes work...... But now I understand that if I haven't tried it, I don't know if I can do it. It was you who made me reacquaint myself and made my life more fulfilling, even if I was a little tired, I was very happy!"
Wu Cheng looked at her pretty face, and finally kissed her lightly on her forehead, and said, "You can rest assured, I know what I'm doing." As I said before, it's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to lose your ...... even if you win the whole world."
Before Wu Cheng's words were finished, he felt a sharp pain in the soft flesh of his waist again.
He knew that he had been negligent and had said the wrong thing, so how could he say the word 'you' at this time!
"Ahem...... Well, I mean, it's not a big deal to lose, as long as I'm around you, I still have the whole world. Wu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Actually, people are forced out, if it weren't for Jiahe's side always thinking about taking advantage of me, how could I think of buying a cinema chain! But I just bought a cinema chain, and he wanted to teach me a lesson, in the face of such a domineering person, what else could I do except resist? If I surrender to them, why should I open my own film company? Since I can't do it, I can only break out of my own way!"
After a pause, he smiled again: "As for what I said to Brother Sanmao, it's just an ideal of mine, an ideal that I can fight for all my life." ”
Wu Cheng said, staring at her starry eyes, and said softly, "Sister Zhi, will you help me!?"
Zhao Yazhi listened to his uncertain words, and nodded without hesitation.
Seeing her firmness, Wu Cheng no longer hesitated and kissed her directly.
Feeling that he was being slighted by Wu Cheng, Zhao Yazhi struggled, but in the end he fell.
Just as the two of them were gradually chasing each other's tongues, the door of the conference room suddenly rang, and the two separated as if they were electrocuted.
Wang Xin, the general manager's secretary, appeared at the door, looked unaware, looked at Wu Cheng, and said, "Boss, the boss of the Eight Great Theaters has asked to see you!"
Wu Cheng nodded and went out with Wang Xin.
When he saw these eight middle-aged people again, Wu Cheng found that they all seemed to have made a decision, so he smiled and said, "You seem to have made a choice, since everyone stays here, it means that we can continue to cooperate, right!
"Mr. Wu, I have thought about it carefully. Although Donglong International is still young, the films you have made are different and very selling points, and I agree to continue to cooperate!"
Wu Cheng gestured to Cen Jianxun, who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang's decision is very wise, I wish us a happy cooperation, as for the details of cooperation, just talk to Manager Cen." ”
"Mr. Wu, I have also decided to continue to cooperate, you are right, Xiangjiang has to produce so many films a year, no matter how powerful Golden Harvest is, it is impossible to release them all......"
"Mr. Wu, are you really willing to buy my theater at a price higher than the market price?"
……
What Wu Cheng didn't expect was that three of the eight theaters were willing to sell.
Fortunately, these three theaters are not big theaters, the largest one only has 600 seats, and the smallest one only has about 300 seats.
Wu Cheng nodded in agreement almost without any hesitation, and said, "You don't need to doubt what I said, even if I sign the contract now, I can get the money!"
The three of them think about it, and this is indeed the reason, Donglong International can come up with 38 million in cash to acquire Lisheng Cinemas, so the acquisition of their three small cinemas is naturally not a problem.
Seeing that the matter was basically decided, Wu Cheng got up and said, "No matter how you choose, I respect you!" Manager Cen, the next matter will be handed over to you." ”
"Please rest assured, boss, I will take care of it!"
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Not only do you have to deal with it on the side of the theater chain, but you also have to take a hand on the side of the Propaganda Department, although Susan has a high degree and learns things quickly, she is not as experienced as you!"
Cen Jianxun said: "Please rest assured, boss, I will take care of it! I know very well how crucial this battle is for me and for our Donglong!"
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
……
After the matter of the theater was dealt with, Wu Cheng returned to the office and called Shao Daheng.
When Shao Tycoon received Wu Cheng's call, he smiled and said, "You little monkey, you won't want to fool your sixth uncle again!
"It seems that the sixth uncle is preparing to raise a tiger for trouble! Compared to Donglong, would Jiahe be more merciful to the Shaw Clan?" Wu Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"You just say it's useless to talk about it, this time we have a lot of Shaw Brothers films waiting to be released, where can we still spare time for you Donglong. ”
Wu Cheng couldn't help but joke: "Sixth Uncle said that he laughed, time is like water in a sponge, squeeze it hard, there will definitely be a little, it depends on whether the strength is big enough." As he spoke, he quickly sorted out the words in his head, and said: "Sixth Uncle must have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! Today's Jiahe is the most powerful Cao Wei, and we are the weak Shu Wu, if we don't join forces and let Cao Wei sit big, the day when the Three Kingdoms will return to Cao will definitely not be far away!"
"You kid is alarmist!" said Shao laughed.
"Isn't it alarmist, I think with the wisdom of the sixth uncle, you are comparable to Zhuge Kongming, you won't be unable to see it!" Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I hope the sixth uncle can think about it, sending charcoal in the snow is always more moving than icing on the cake, isn't it?"
"You little monkey, why does the tone of begging make people sound so uncomfortable?" Shao Tycoon played with taste: "Isn't it that I don't want to help you, and you are ready to cooperate with Li?" I forgot to tell you, Zou Wenhuai has been in contact with Li's boss, do you think Li's will give up cooperation with Jiahe because of you? You kid is now embattled!"
When Wu Cheng heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, if this is the case, then the situation is a little not good, although it is not as strict as Shao Tycoon said, but it is not much worse.
The quality of the two films is comparable, so you need to see the publicity, and now the publicity of Golden Harvest has also kept up, so if you fall behind, the result can be imagined.
Moreover, the number of theaters in Golden Harvest Cinemas is much more than that of Feilong Cinemas, and if the box office of the two parties is compared, the result will be even worse. You must know that ordinary citizens don't care how many theaters you have, they only look at the box office, once the box office is too different, it will be a big trouble.
Now the publicity can't keep up, and the theater chain can't compare, and the results don't need to be compared.
Wu Cheng pondered for a while and said, "I wonder if the sixth uncle is interested in cooperating with me?"
"Hehe, it's all here, what the hell do you kid want to fight?" Shao Daheng chuckled: "One force will drop ten, in the face of this situation, what can you do if you are full of wisdom?"
Wu Cheng didn't show weakness, and still kept a smile and said: "Sixth uncle, I'll tell you the truth! In fact, I didn't plan to win this battle......
"You can't win, are you!
Wu Cheng didn't expect Shao Daheng to complain, he was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "No matter what you say Sixth Uncle, I also understand how big the gap between our Donglong and Jiahe is now, if it weren't for your help Sixth Uncle, we would definitely lose this battle." But I'm not worried, because I'm still so young and have the capital to lose. But Uncle Six, what about you?"
