"It's okay, they're good to ventilate with each other." Tang Huan nodded disappreciatively, and then entered the tea room with Shao Yifu while walking.

"Tang Sheng is good Yaxing." Smelling the faint fragrance of tea, Shao Yifu praised heartily.

"The Xiangjiang Club used to be full of foreign gadgets, and it is estimated that everyone has long been tired of it, so I have added some new tricks." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "However, the time is still short, and the quality of hardware such as tea room layout is still passing, but the quality of software such as professional quality needs to be further improved." ”

"In recent years, the treasure island has basically formed a set of tea ceremonies with its own characteristics. However, Tang Sheng here seems to be very different. Shao Yifu looked at the interior of the tea room and commented seriously.

"It varies from person to person, but this mainly reflects some of my personal preferences." Tang Huan laughed.

After gossiping for a while, Tang Huan turned to the topic, "Does Uncle Sixth intend to extend TVB's tentacles into Canada?" After all, the audience for Chinese-speaking content over there has begun to scale. ”

"What about media policy risks in Canada?" Shao Yifu looked hesitant, "More than ten years ago, probably in 1967, Jin Yong and Malaysian businessman Liang Runzhi co-founded the "New Ming Daily" in Singapore. Due to the booming sales, three months later they launched Malaysia's Shin Ming Daily in Kuala Lumpur. However, in the past few years, the governments of Singapore and Malaysia have amended the law to prohibit non-nationals from holding more than 3% of the shares of local newspapers, which has forced Jin Yong to reluctantly part with his love and quit the "Xin Ming Daily" in Singapore and Malaysia. ”

"There are more and more Chinese people in Canada, and they are looking for a like-minded collaborator and spokesperson. It's not hard. Tang Huan's face was confident. It depends on whether the sixth uncle is willing to make a move. Because it is necessary to take into account that the previous years belonged to the investment stage. ”

"Many people don't want to see the wave of immigration in Hong Kong, which leads to the loss of talent and capital in Hong Kong. But Tang Sheng's attitude seems to be a little subtle? Shao Yifu looked curious.

"Not in his position, not in his politics. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is impossible to force them. Tang Huan yawned lazily, "In my opinion, the Chinese have spread all over the world. There is nothing bad about it. In the colonial era, white people relied on advanced maritime consciousness to occupy the vast majority of the world's resources, energy, and strategic locations; Now more people go to Canada, it's quite lively. ”

Shao Yifu was obviously shocked by Tang Huan's whimsical bizarre theories, and he was stunned for a while before he asked: "I don't know who Tang Sheng is looking for in Canada?" ”

"Feng Jingxi's eldest son, Feng Yongfa. In the mid-1960s, there was also a wave of immigration, and the children of the Feng family have all Canadian citizenship since then, and their status is just in line. Feng Yongfa himself is not keen on inheriting his father's financial business, but has a strong interest in the media industry. Coupled with being more accustomed to the Canadian way of life, we got to a talk. You know that, too. In the past few months, I have injected capital into Sun Hung Kai Bank several times, and the relationship between the two parties is very strong, both in terms of interest and trust. Tang Huan explained in detail.

"Tang Sheng's ability to connect vertically and horizontally without moving is really admirable." Shao Yifu sincerely complimented a few words, and then asked, "Since Tang Sheng has already laid out in Canada, what is the current situation?" ”

"The radio service covers Vancouver and Toronto, and the operation is already on track. Television stations, which now have a regional pay-TV licence in British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, are also operating. In addition, the Canadian Radio-Television and Communications Commission plans to issue a nationwide Chinese pay TV licence next year. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "If Uncle Sixth thinks about it casually, he should be able to guess that the level of Chinese program content production over there is not advanced at all, and we will crush them a few streets." ”

……

"Zou Sheng, I don't have Golden Princess Entertainment, and Kowloon Jianye; But if you lose Golden Harvest, most of your life's hard work will be gone. Lei Juekun said carefully.

These words made the arrogant Zou Wenhuai feel very harsh, everyone is a prince, why do you Lei Juekun condescendingly imply that I have no cards to play in my hand?

"Kowloon Development may not be as stable as Mount Tai, isn't the Kowloon Bus created by the Lei family still giving up the controlling stake to Sun Hung Kai Properties?" Zou Wenhuai unceremoniously pointed out that everyone is in the same situation, if you have something to say, don't play the trick of raising your worth.

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Lei Juekun's face, and then he snorted, "Since the interests of the movie are important to everyone, why don't you unite with each other and fight against the ambitions of DreamWorks?" ”

"Fighting for money, are we rivals?" Zou Wenhuai snorted, "The theater has to be renovated, the promotional methods have to be varied, and the level of film production cannot be left behind, which one has less funds?" And even if you invest, you may not get a return. ”

"Zou Sheng is a heroic hero in the Xiangjiang film industry, how can he be discouraged before he fights?" Lei Juekun quietly came to a radical method.

Zou Wenhuai glared at Lei Juekun angrily, "There is no common language with you speculators who have entered the film industry halfway to make quick money, so let's do a good job of researching DreamWorks' Olympic aid in Hollywood." ”

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai was so rational and difficult to fool, Lei Juekun had no choice but to show his killer move, lowered his voice and said: "In Xiangjiang, there are many forces that Tang Huan is not happy with, and I am sure that I will also pull in Austrian aid." ”

……

"Boss, Mr. Zou and Mr. Lei have arrived."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Tang Huan stopped talking with Shao Yifu and got up to greet him.

Appreciating the dignified and elegant display of the tea master, Lei Juekun said with a smile: "Tang Sheng will really enjoy it." ”

"It's good if Lei Sheng likes it." Tang Huan glanced at the three important names in the Xiangjiang film industry in front of him, Shao Yifu was already in his prime, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were less than sixty years old, and they could be said to be in the age of fighting. This age difference is not a hint that their business styles will be very different, or even diametrically opposed.

"Of course Tang Sheng is leisurely and elegant. The recent business of DreamWorks Cinemas. Not generally thriving. Zou Wen said with resentment.

He thought that when he had met Tang Huan a few times before. Although no actual cooperation results were achieved, the atmosphere was good, but why did DreamWorks suddenly make trouble.

Since he got to the point so quickly, there was no need for Tang Huan to do the foreshadowing, he replied calmly, "I do have an idea, which is to integrate the large-scale cinema chain on the Xiangjiang River into an alliance." ”

"Sure enough." Zou Wenhuai glanced at Lei Juekun, whose face changed, and Shao Yifu, who had a leisurely expression. I'm not depressed.

"Mr. Tang has always been so bold in doing things, admire, admire." There was a sarcasm in Lei Juekun's tone, and he almost clearly counted Tang Huan as too domineering.

Tang Huan, who didn't care, said to himself: "I don't know if a few people have heard of it, in recent years, the home TV game console market in the United States has been booming, but in the past ten years of development, the scale of the industry has surpassed Hollywood, which has a history of more than half a century. ”

"Of course I did." Shao Yifu, who had never spoken, laughed. "Tang Sheng should be the biggest gold digger."

Zou Wenhuai also nodded, "I've heard of it." After all, Xiangjiang is also very lively, but it seems that I heard that the market in the United States is not good this year. ”

"Zou Sheng got to the point." Tang Huan sighed regretfully, "Not only is the market not working, to be precise, the entire industry has collapsed, and the market of tens of billions of dollars a year is gone." ”

After taking a full view of the reactions of the three people, Tang Huan continued leisurely: "As an industry leader and a first-hand witness, I think I am qualified to summarize the reason for this great change, that is, the investors who have poured in have played this market badly. This lesson from the past is also suitable for the current Xiangjiang Film Market. ”

"During the most prosperous period of the home TV game console market, even food companies rushed to join in order to give Wall Street a good financial report, and all kinds of game consoles emerged in an endless stream."

"This hardware platform is the equivalent of a theater, and the game software running on it is similar to a movie."

"Everyone's business sense is very sensitive, and after the ups and downs of the previous decades, a new round of recovery is coming. As a result, it is bound to attract all kinds of hot money to pour in. ”

This conclusion is not a speculation on my part. You must know that the economies of Treasure Island and Singapore have also developed, and the scale of travel capital is not comparable to that of the era when Shaw Brothers and Denmao were dominant, and Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers competed. Everyone is in the same Chinese-speaking cultural circle, and it is natural to follow the trend of investment. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan's eyes turned to Shao Yifu, "Uncle Sixth should have some experience, in recent years, Singapore's funds have been very keen on TV dramas on the side of Xiangjiang." ”

Shao Yifu nodded thoughtfully, "Tang Sheng is worried that a large amount of funds will pour into the film industry in Xiangjiang, and eventually the market will lose its ability to self-regulate, resulting in the destruction of our jobs, so he plans to use the cinema alliance to build a barrier where the right to speak is in our hands?" ”

"Jiang is still old and spicy, but I didn't expect Uncle Sixth to see my plan at a glance." Tang Huan gave a thumbs up.

"You two just play the double reed, who doesn't know that you have already discussed this set of rhetoric before." Lei Juekun, who was watching coldly, kept slandering.

I have to say that Lei Juekun really guessed wrong, when Tang Huan and Shao Yifu were alone just now, the topics they talked about were all about the TV field.

Zou Wenhuai listened to Tang Huan's words in his heart, but just like the refusal of all forces to voluntarily bow their heads during the change of dynasties in history, he was suspicious of this so-called cinema alliance, after all, the co-opted King Xiaoyao was as happy as the Emperor of the Soil who divided one side.

"In the face of the influx of hot money, the Hong Kong film industry has little ability to self-regulate. Come to think of it, until now, there has not been a purely unified industry association in the Hong Kong film industry. There may be political reasons for this, or it may be something that you yourself like to see. ”

Tang Huan chuckled, "But don't forget, if you want the horses to run, can you still keep the horses from grazing?" If you want to continue to make money on Xiangjiang Films, you must find ways to integrate resources together and clench them into a fist. ”

"As you may have noticed, by now, the popularity of video recorders in Hong Kong families has been very impressive. The home theater system will become a popular form of entertainment consumption, and the market prospect is very broad. ”

"At this stage, the two videotape formats, VHS and Betamax, are still competing, and the technology is in the hands of Japanese companies, but it is up to content providers such as Hollywood to decide who wins."

"If the Xiangjiang film industry can pool its superior resources and get the world-class right to speak, it may not be able to become one of these decision-makers."

"Videotape is not the ultimate technical solution for home theater systems, it will be replaced by the next generation of digital formats. If we have the right to decide which set of technical solutions to choose, it is tantamount to mastering the industry standard, and the profit in this is great. ”

After listening to Tang Huan, Lei Juekun showed a disapproving look on his face, "I must admit that the prospects depicted by Tang Sheng are very beautiful, and even give me a sense of unfathomable profundity." Although there are some points of view that I don't understand, everything remains the same, and it is nothing more than the word monopoly. I think Sir Shao and Zou Sheng's companies have been infinitely close to this achievement, and Tang Sheng also intends to be the one after them, right? There doesn't seem to be anything new to say. ”

"That can only mean that you have only been in the industry for a short time and don't know much about the film industry." Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to Lei Juekun, and turned his eyes to Zou Wenhuai, "I have put MGM in Hollywood on the right track, and I plan to open up the resources on this platform to my colleagues in Xiangjiang to share." Is Zou Sheng interested? ”

"Really?" Zou Wenhuai, who was shining in front of him, asked rhetorically.

"Of course, do I have to joke?" Tang Huan bowed slightly.

Lei Juekun coughed, stopped Zou Wenhuai, who wanted to speak, and at the same time gave the other party a look, which meant to say, "Don't forget, we agreed to advance and retreat together, if you are busy changing the hexagram, you will suffer a loss at that time, don't come to me." ”

"Tang Sheng, your proposal, we need to go back and discuss it before we can give an answer." After stabilizing Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun spoke as a representative of the two.

Seeing Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai get up and say goodbye, Tang Huan smiled, "That's okay, maybe the current competition in the cinema chain can better reflect the advantages of resource integration and deployment after the cinema alliance is reached in the future." But there is one thing that I want to make clear in advance. Capital and intellectual games, everyone just put out the carts and horses to be clear, and the dignified business war does not lose grace. But if anyone can't use the means on the table, although I haven't stayed in Xiangjiang all the time, I don't rub sand in my eyes. ”

Tasting the warning meaning in Tang Huan's words, Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai's faces twitched unnaturally, and they didn't know how to answer, so they simply raised their legs and left. (To be continued.) )
