In the 80s, Zhongnanhai once opened some scenic spots to the public, and later closed to the public, but for some special Hong Kong, Macao and foreign VIPs, special hospitality will still be given, allowing them to enter through the Xiyuan Gate and visit Fengze Garden and Yingtai.

Xu Teng was also touched by the light of the fourth aunt, visited several scenic spots in Zhongnanhai, and a comrade from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office received the fourth aunt and He Jiali, and conveyed some suggestions of the gambling king on Macao affairs.

After all, the gambling king is a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a well-known patriot, and has made many contributions in the open and in the dark.

The fourth aunt came over this time and submitted a handwritten letter to the gambling king, because of her old age, a lot of work in China was handed over to her daughter He Jiali to attend the meeting of the CPPCC.

After returning to China after graduating from the University of Chicago, He Jiali was very good in the family, with the secret guidance of Xu's mother, the help of the fourth aunt, and her own efforts.

On the way back to Ruilin's house, the fourth aunt, He Jiali and Xu Teng were all sitting in the silver angel of the Rolls-Royce, and Gu Youxiang was driving.

The fourth aunt quietly arrived in Beijing this time, in fact, she wanted to discuss the family property with He Jiali and Xu Teng, there are many wealthy families, and dividing the family property is simply the first big thing, the gambling king has four wives, the big house has five children, the second room has six, and the third room has four, the fourth aunt has a son and two daughters under her knees, He Jiali is the eldest daughter, staying in the family business to do things, and the other two children have been living in the United Kingdom, and there is almost no contact with other rooms.

In fact, these two children were born to the younger sister of the fourth aunt, ten years ago, the sisters fell out and moved to London, and they are not particularly familiar with He Jiali.

There are many wealthy families.

The He family is the oldest famous family in Hong Kong and Macao, among the houses, there are countless such things, and it is not the case in one room, there are six children in the second room, several of them are born to the second aunt, only she knows best.

The fourth aunt said to Xu Teng last night that she should "clean herself and love herself", not only for her daughter, but also for Xu Teng, there are too many rights and wrongs, it is not a good thing, a moment of merry and happiness, decades of troubles.

In any case, when fighting for family property, each house still has to unite and unite with the outside world.

Although the gambling king's body is still quite tough, there are occasional minor illnesses, but compared with previous years, it is obviously worse, according to the original meaning of the gambling king, the invisible money is deposited in the He Charity Foundation and the He Education Foundation, and the visible property is divided into half of the four rooms, and half is shared equally among all children.

This is the fairest method of distribution, and there is no objection to each room, but which room, which child occupies an extra sum in which company, and which company's shares are still a mess.

The property of the gambling king is also very complex, the most important core companies are Fuheng and Fuxin two group companies, the former is mainly engaged in the gaming industry, hotels, real estate, concentrated in Macau, and the latter is mainly engaged in banking, insurance, securities, real estate, and aviation leasing.

The two groups of Fuheng and Fuxin have five listed companies, namely SJM, Fuheng Land, Fuheng Hotel, Intertrust Financial and Fuxin Land, which cross-hold each other to form two consortia.

The total market value of the two group companies is close to 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, and 1/3 of the shares belong to the gambling king, of which the core asset is the Macau gaming and entertainment company under Fuheng, which is nominally a listed company, and nearly 95% of the share capital is actually in the hands of the gambling king.

In the Ho Charitable Foundation, the gambling king also holds a large number of shares in enterprises in the mainland and Hong Kong, and the total market value of the enterprises actually controlled is close to 500 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although this complex asset layout allows the He family to use 1/3 of the actual share capital to control the huge Fuheng and Fuxin families, it also makes the division of the estate extremely difficult, and no house is willing to suffer.

The competition between the four rooms is fierce, especially the Macau gaming of the money printing machine, which is simply a competition for every cent of share capital.

Although He Jiali's Hong Kong Fuxin International Investment Company has the name of Fuxin, it is not directly related to Fuxin Group, but Xu and He have a special relationship, and Xu Teng's trust fund is hidden in the name of the He family.

On the way back to Ruilin's house, the fourth aunt kept talking about it.

Xu Teng just listened quietly, and sighed in his heart that the asset layout model of the gambling king is too complex and difficult to cut, this time the merger and acquisition of Richemont Group, mainly the two consortiums of Fuheng Holdings and Fuxin Holdings, plus Zheng Yutong's New World, and He Jiali's Fuxin International, the shares are extremely complicated.

This Rolls-Royce Silver Angel slowly stopped in the alley, Xu Teng thought about it, and still gave a Jianyì, "You might as well fight for more controlling stake in Richemont Group, and the others will have a share." ”

"You, like your mommy, aren't very optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, right?" The fourth aunt thought about it too much, in fact, she always had her own ideas.

"Yes. Xu Teng did not deny it.

Although Fuxin Group is a comprehensive financial group with banks, securities and insurance, it is actually only limited to medium-sized banks and insurance companies in Hong Kong and Macao, and the proportion of real estate in Hong Kong is far less than that of Changjiang and Sun Hung Kai, and in the long run, it is not worth holding for a long time.

Fuheng's assets are centered on Macau gaming, and hotels and real estate are concentrated in Macau, which is relatively more valuable for long-term holding, but the problem is that the competition is too fierce, and there are many women in large and second houses, which are absolutely dominant.

Therefore, Xu Teng really feels that for the fourth aunt and He Jiali, it is the best choice to choose the newly merged Richemont Group, after all, among the four major controlling parties of Richemont Group, Fuxin International is in the hands of Xu Teng and He Jiali.

They have every chance to take half of the shares of Richemont, and the fourth aunt will fight for a little more, retain 5% of the shares in Macau Gaming, hold 15% of the shares in Fuxin Financial, and He Jiali will retain the position of executive vice chairman of the Ho Education Foundation, which is basically enough.

The fourth aunt was too contemplative for a long time.

"So be it, maybe there's no better option. She finally sighed and instructed He Jiali, "Help Mommy arrange the flight back to Macau tomorrow, you are very happy to live in Ruilin's house, and Mommy will not disturb your honeymoon." ”

"Mommy, stay a few more days and stay with me. He Jiali was coquettish, but she had already taken out her mobile phone and was ready to arrange the itinerary immediately.

The fourth aunt was too silent with a smile, thinking that when she was young, she had to marry the gambling king to be the fourth aunt despite the persuasion of her parents, but she could only say that her daughter would not be able to keep her after all.

In fact, she prefers her daughter to marry a more ordinary, young and handsome man, and can accompany her daughter for a lifetime, but this is just unrealistic wishful thinking. Because their mother and daughter are so rich, any young person who walks into their lives will eventually change.

It's just that she still thinks that her daughter's choice of a man who is too good is a good thing or a bad thing, probably only her daughter herself can understand.

This evening.

Young couple having a romantic night in the room.

Xu Teng hugged He Jiali in his arms, quietly enjoying the warmth of the passion, the two talked and chatted, always talking about the He family's inheritance, he didn't like these topics, but this was indeed too important to He Jiali and the fourth aunt.

"Actually, it doesn't matter which part of the asset you want. Xu Teng thought about it and decided to say it more clearly, "It's nothing more than an asset, pledged in the bank, and seconded capital to run your own project, because you can open up your own world." ”

"That's right. He Jiali finally understood that she and Xu Teng could run new projects, and they didn't need to fight desperately for family property.

Anyway, it is evenly divided in terms of market capitalization, and the difference is only profitability.

At the moment, Richemont is definitely the most cost-effective asset, the whole group is still in the loss stage, the price-to-earnings ratio in the London stock market is extremely low, the valuation is very low, and Fuheng is a real money printing machine, and the profitability of Fuxin is also good.

"Macau will open the gaming industry this year, there are currently four licenses, my dad took two, and the other two, in fact, are related to your daddy, how many have shares, on the surface it is competition, in fact, the two of us are working together behind the scenes to control the market, and they are not vicious competition with each other. He Jiali didn't seem very sure of this information, she couldn't be sure.

Xu Teng almost choked on breathing, "Dizzy." ”

He has nothing to say, Mr. Xu is playing from Sanzhu to the casino, by the way, he can't describe how black-eyed this is.

Never mind.

He has been scared by Mr. Xu's mother countless times, this time it's nothing, it's just a little frightened.

"Xiao Teng, aren't you particularly interested today, do you want to find another girl?" He Jiali's words are nonsense, the responsibility is on Xu Teng, and she is not as high as usual.

"No, I don't. ”

"It's okay, I don't mind, as long as you're happy. ”

"I really don't. Xu Teng was not calm, he now fully doubted that the two young chicks He Jiali selected in the Ruilin Pavilion were also prepared for her, "Wife, let's sleep well, you still have to talk about business with Zhang Weiping tomorrow, I'll go to watch the final cut of "Hero", and wait for me to send you a text message to confirm your final offer." ”

In business, the big fish eat the small fish.

The advantage of Ruilin Pavilion is the connections, they found a middleman today, and they had a very rational and friendly talk with Zhang Weiping again, and in general, the business can still be continued.

Fuxin International has invested in several real estate projects in Beijing, one of which can be given to Zhang Weiping, with an estimated value of about 200 million, and the location is very good.

Zhang Weiping made a lot of calls to Zhang Yimou, but none of them got through, he gritted his teeth and hated, and he couldn't get along with the money, and the only advantage in his hand was the copyright of "Hero" and several other movies.

He is ready to use these extortions to make a good piece of land and 200 million cash, but a simple offer of 400 million can no longer satisfy him.

It's troublesome, but the trouble that can be solved with money is not really a trouble.

The next morning, Xu Teng and He Jiali sent their fourth aunt on the plane back to Macau, and then separated, Xu Teng went to the editing room of Beijing Film Studio, where they watched the final cut version of "Hero", which was also the version that had just been reviewed by Tong Guò.

What is the level of this version, which determines his offer.

Zhang Yimou came over to watch the film with him, and specially asked Zhang Ziyi to come over, and the three of them watched silently in the editing room, facing this somewhat old CRT Sony TV screen, with headphones.

The visual effects of the movie are definitely fine, but the effect is not as strong on the TV screen.

Therefore, Xu Teng just watched the plot and watched the performance, the whole plot was completely retaken, and the changes were very powerful, and the "nameless" played by Liang Chaowei was changed to the guard next to King Qin, fighting against the three killers by himself, and it was more than enough.

Director Zhang played a big move, although he invited international action superstar Jet Li and spent more than 20 million yuan in salary, in the end, he took Liang Yingdi, who won the award and got a soft hand, as the real protagonist.

That's the only way to do it after the plot overhaul.

Xu Teng as an audience and as a film critic, this remade "Hero" basically has no loopholes in the plot, and it also continues the metaphor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or even deeper.

There is a strong conflict between the killer and the guard in the movie, the killer is to counter violence with violence, to kill to stop killing, in order to stop the war, the guard "nameless" believes that the best historical ending, a country without war, must be unified.

"Any war is a tragedy" and "reunification is peace" are a pair of conflicts in the movie.

Director Zhang gave two characteristics to the final ending, one is that the little people represented by "Nameless" and several killers died in the end, and the other is that "King Qin" did not die.

The director himself is neutral, just said such a thing, what kind of conclusion the audience will draw after watching it, it is the audience's own business.

The movie itself is called "Heroes", and in fact, there are no heroes at the end.

Cheng Daoming's King of Qin made up a lot of scenes in the end, and he is not a good person, he is not only a hero, he has a heart for talent, but he is also self-respecting, and those who oppose me die, which is much more complicated than the original King of Qin, and Cheng Daoming also acted extremely accurately and perfectly.

The idea, theme, plot, as well as the characters, performances, pictures, music, costumes, and action design of the whole movie are basically free of defects, if Xu Teng wants to score this movie on Douban, he can roughly give 8 points, a high evaluation.

There are some special effects shots, generally speaking, they are still a little rough, which is also related to the scale of investment, it is estimated that in the end, there is really no money to continue to do it, and if you continue to invest, you will definitely lose money.

"If we buy the copyright and distribution rights by the way, a few big special effects shots in the palace must be sent to the United States to remake them, and find the special effects companies of Light Magic and Zhan Shen to make them, it doesn't matter if they lose or not, because once the movie is officially released, it's too late for you to revise it. "As an investor, Xu Teng really doesn't think much about profitability.

He only thinks about two things, first, whether the movie is good or not, and second, how much he is paid.

Xu Teng can't compare this "Hero" with "Red Sorghum" now, in terms of artistry, there is a little gap after all, but as a commercial blockbuster, to be precise, as a feature film and a martial arts film, this movie has no flaws.

"As long as you're willing to invest, that's fine, and we'll keep changing. Zhang Yimou has no opinion, because he is not particularly satisfied with these shots, his cooperation with Zhang Weiping is not bad, and now he resolutely changes his camp and cooperates with Xu Teng, just because Xu Teng has money and attitude.

Xu Teng has extremely high requirements for the film, even higher than Lao Mouzi, and he doesn't care about the return on investment, as long as it is a good movie and does not lose money, he is very satisfied.

If he starred and gave him a high salary, it would be even happier.

"Okay, then it's decided, let's see what my wife talks about. Xu Teng sent a text message to He Jiali, and he was generally satisfied with the newly edited "Hero", and he still had to continue to revise the special effects later.

With such a toss, the schedule has to be postponed to the Chinese New Year, or it is no problem to put it on Valentine's Day, because in this movie, the emotional scene played by Zhang Yanyu and Liang Chaowei is still very heavy, and they love and kill each other, which is a little tear-jerking.

Xu Teng's personal judgment is that it is generally cost-effective to spend 400 million yuan to buy the copyright of this movie and several other films of Zhang Yimou.

A few minutes later.

"The original piece of land, plus 170 million in cash, was sold. He Jiali gave Xu Teng an accurate reply, "He is still very good at communicating." She gave another snicker.

Yes, of course, it is easy to talk about the 7,000 gold of the gambling king.

The status in the business world is different, and the gap between status and connections in Beijing is even greater.

The key is that Zhang Weiping boasts that the future of the Chinese film industry is bright, but his body is very loyal to make cash, but he doesn't believe how much the movie "Hero" can sell.

Xu Teng told Zhang Yimou the news, and was about to discuss the follow-up re-production, Zhang Yimou also received a text message from Zhang Weiping, talking about friendship, and wanted to join forces with Zhang Yimou to establish a new joint venture, 73 open, he invested 100 million to shoot "Ambush on All Sides".

Zhang Yimou thought about it, didn't show the text message to Xu Teng, and deleted it directly.

The big director doesn't have high requirements for producers, so although there have been some bumps and bumps in the past few years, which has made him dissatisfied, he has always maintained cooperation. Now that I meet Xu Teng, with such a good big plan, such good shooting conditions and support, this great director does not plan to continue to toss as before.

He continued to talk to Xu Teng about "Hero", and decided to invest another 20 million to make the special effects more solid and delicate.

At night.

Director Zhang went home in advance, Xu Teng still had some uncertainties, after all, he spent 400 million to buy it, and he had to invest another 20 million to watch it again in the editing room.

This time, he looked at it in more detail.

It's strange that Zhang Ziyi never left, eating a boxed lunch with him in the editing room, watching this movie silently, occasionally telling him about the difficult process of shooting a few scenes, and occasionally telling a few interesting stories.

Xu Teng didn't notice that she was sitting very close, but just rewatched it repeatedly, and by the way, he also watched all the shots that Director Zhang gave up, and carefully pondered what else made him feel inappropriate.

Until more than 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Teng basically made it clear in his heart that he would lower the score from 8 points to about 7.5 points, and then re-edit and adjust it, the special effects were better, and it was possible to score 8 points.

He got up to leave, and Zhang Ziyi, who was holding the key to the editing room, suddenly said, "I'm tired of a day, let's go find a place nearby to have two drinks, just right, I really want to ask about Van Cleef & Arpels' endorsement." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm going back to spend time with my wife. Xu Teng looked at his watch, "Let's talk about it next time, the matter of the Richemont Group, we have made moves recently, and the endorsement is not in a hurry for the time being." ”

"Okay, but you have to hurry, maybe I'll sign up for another jewelry company." Zhang Ziyi smiled and accompanied Xu Teng out of the editing room, and then remembered, "I don't have a car, you can give me a ride!"

"Good. Xu Teng turned the car key in his hand, Shanghai Volkswagen recently gave him a Passat V6 with a Beijing license plate, drove it for a few days, and it felt pretty good, not as good as driving a BMW 740 before, but after all, it was a request from the sponsor, and he was embarrassed to change to a BMW 7 to play.

Xu Teng has been playing in Beijing for so long, and she is not familiar with the road, so she dared to drive on the road recently and sent Zhang Ziyi to her apartment, which was about to leave, she was not in a hurry to get out of the car, and asked Xu Teng, "Do you want to go to my house for two drinks?"

Xu Teng has been pondering the issue of remaking the editing of "Hero" today, and his attention is too concentrated, and at this moment he realized that this girl was thinking too much. (To be continued.) )
