Chapter 266: How much money does Xu Cun have now?

How much money does Xu Cun have now?

At the end of April '81, Xu Cun raised 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars (of which 400 million Hong Kong dollars was the money from Xu Cun's loan to HSBC for the sale of the two federal and international buildings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info) and Hongkong Land.

At that time, Xu Cun's various companies were left with only a minimum of liquidity, as well as 73.3 percent of Lishi's shares.

Subsequently-

"Sword and Horse" earned Xu Cun $2.7 million.

"Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" earned Xu Cun 28 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Dragon Ninja" earned Xu Cun 11 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Chasing the Girl" earned Xu Cun 17 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Murder List" earned Xu Cun 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Zombie Family" earned Xu Cun $29.7 million.

"Interstellar Blunt Tire" earned Xu Cun $19.25 million.

"Home Alone" made Xu Cun $148 million.

"The Love of People and Ghosts" earned Xu Cun $94 million.

In addition, the box office results of "God of Gamblers" also came out.

Xiangjiang main port.

"God of Gamblers" earned 32.4 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first film in Hong Kong to exceed 30 million at the box office. At the same time, "God of Gamblers" also killed "Home Alone" and became the box office champion in Xiangjiang.

"God of Gamblers" achieved a box office result of NT$47 million.

"God of Gamblers" achieved a box office of $8.2 million.

Japan region.

"God of Gamblers" achieved a box office result of 2.75 billion yen.

South Korea.

"God of Gamblers" has achieved 480,000 viewers.

Americas and Europe.

In dozens of countries on two continents, "God of Gamblers" only achieved a total of $33,000 at the box office.

In general, in addition to the box office results achieved in Xiangjiang City, the box office results achieved by "God of Gamblers" in other regions can be regarded as a hit compared to Xu Cun's previous box office results.

There are two reasons for this:

1. "God of Gamblers" has an obvious Xiangjiang River, which can also be said to have an obvious local color.

Therefore, "God of Gamblers" has no market in other regions, especially in the Americas and Europe - if it were not for Xu Cun's title as the world's No. 1 director, "God of Gamblers" would not even have a chance to be released in the Americas and Europe.

2. "God of Gamblers" was published by Yongsheng.

Although the money earned by "God of Gamblers" is all Xu Cun, the release of "God of Gamblers" is mainly based on Yongsheng and supplemented by DreamWorks - this is the purpose of Yongsheng to buy "God of Gamblers" for 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

After all, Yongsheng is only a new film company, and compared with the booming DreamWorks, Yongsheng's distribution ability is still too poor. Therefore, although DreamWorks assists in distribution, the distribution led by Yongsheng will inevitably cause "God of Gamblers" to lose part of its overseas market.

Total: God of Gamblers grossed $61 million.

The box office distributed to Xu Cun was: 19.5 million US dollars.

Since the production cost and publicity cost of "God of Gamblers" are all from Yongsheng, all the 19.5 million US dollars belong to Xu Cun (this money has not yet reached Xu Cun's hands.) However, in the next two months, the money will be collected in Xu Cun's hands. )。

In addition, Yongsheng bought the copyright of "God of Gamblers" for 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

"God of Gamblers" earned Xu Cun a total of about $26 million.

By the way, Xu Cun, who had long known that the Hong Kong dollar was going to depreciate, had long ago converted all the money he earned into US dollars and deposited it in Swiss banks.

From the end of April '81 to now, Xu Cun has earned a total of more than $333 million.

In just one and a half years, not counting the income from the gambling with Hongkong Land, Xu Cun earned more than 300 million US dollars. It can be seen that Xu Cun's ability to make money is not ordinarily strong!

But-

Xu Cun earns a lot and spends a lot.

When Xu Cun invested in Cameron's "Terminator", he took out $4.3 million, and the $4.3 million was not enough for Cameron to make "The Terminator". Therefore, it won't be long before Cameron will definitely ask Xu Cun for money.

Xu Cun spent 53 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the shares of Lishi from a group of British-owned groups - Xu Cun probably spent about 10 million US dollars in the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at the time.

Xu Cun spent more than 140 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the buildings that Wen Bibian and Guan Zhilin had hoarded by speculating in real estate -- according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 23 million US dollars.

In the Xu Ma Shi incident, Xu Cun spent 120 million Hong Kong dollars - according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 19.3 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xu Cun injected 200 million Hong Kong dollars into Lishi - according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 30 million US dollars.

He spent $43 million to buy a villa in Repulse Bay for his pregnant daughters, and spent more than $17 million on the most advanced medical equipment and medicines in the world at the time—both of which cost more than $24 million in the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to dollars at the time.

Xu Cun spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to 'save' Mei Qiming and Mei Deming - according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 1.6 million US dollars.

To buy back the federal and international buildings, Xu Cun paid the Japanese consortium about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which cost about 13 million Hong Kong dollars according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars at that time.

Xu Cun spent 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the Taiping Theater - according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to the US dollar at that time, Xu Cun spent about 3.7 million US dollars.

To repay HSBC's loan of 400 million Hong Kong dollars, Xu Cun spent about 50 million US dollars.

In addition, Xu Cun raised a large number of women, and this year and a half just for adding up the household and pocket money of the women would cost more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which would be converted into more than 30 million US dollars.

Total: From the end of April '81 to the present, Xu Cun has spent a total of about 200.9 million US dollars.

After deducting expenses, Xu Cun should have less than $130 million in hand.

But this is not the case.

After buying back the federal and international buildings, Xu Cun used the two buildings and his reputation as collateral to borrow another $100 million from HSBC.

Prior to this, Xu Cun also borrowed $70 million from Universal Pictures at the cost of signing a title with Universal Pictures -- Originally, Xu Cun planned to borrow this money from the Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, but the 20th Century Fox Film Company, which had successively eaten all the copyrights of "ET" and "Home Alone" in the past two or three years, was not short of good movies, and Xu Cun wanted to borrow $100 million, so the 20th Century Fox Film Company decided to refuse Xu Cun after discussing it with the board of directors. Xu Cun expressed regret and declined the kindness of Alain Ryder Jr. to lend him $20 million. After that, Xu Cun invited the heads of seven other Hollywood film companies to DreamWorks (US G branch) to hold a small bidding meeting, and finally Universal Pictures won the bid with 70 million US dollars willing to lend Xu Cun.

In other words, Xu Cun currently has about $300 million in pure cash on hand.

(Note: This year's movies such as "Beware of Little Hands" have also made a lot of money for Xu Cun, but Xu Cun also needs to spend a lot of money to buy cars for the women, raise the daughters' families, and raise hundreds of employees, etc., so the money is almost worth it.) )
