Chapter 112: Time Doesn't Wait for Me

Zhang Shaojie also knows that Li Jie is essentially a villain who is annihilated to the extreme, if he is given the capital, Li Jie will give full play to his real surname of Annihilation, be ruthless, and let employees be sold and help him count the money.

However, Zhang Shaojie does not object to this subordinate Li Jie, who has "exploited" it in his bone marrow.

Because starting a company is not doing charity.

Although Zhang Shaojie knows that he can add more jobs to the society by running a company. also hopes to change the tragic fate of the Hong Kong film and television industry according to his prophetic ability.

Historically, since the 90s, Hong Kong TV dramas have been impacted by Korean and Taiwanese TV dramas. The film industry has also fallen under the iron hooves of Hollywood, from a world-class film and television center to a second-rate film and television production base.

Although there are so many ideals, Zhang Shaojie still has to make money.

If he doesn't do it to make money, what is he doing business? If he can't make money, how can he save Hong Kong's troubled entertainment and cultural industry in the future?

In addition to Li Jie, there is also a woman from Elune, who is 28 years old and is of mixed Chinese and Jewish descent. Her father was a university professor, but her mother was a Jewish woman. In the past, there were many Jews in Shanghai, China. Ai's father and mother met and married in Shanghai, and after the liberation, Jews, who were mainly engaged in speculative business, transferred their assets abroad for fear of raiding their homes.

Elune's parents came to Hong Kong, naturally not as happy as Shanghai before the liberation, and it was inevitable that the family would fall into the middle of the road. It is precisely because of the warmth and coldness of many people that Elune attaches more importance to immediate benefits.

For example, she judged that Longteng Entertainment Brokerage Company has Zhang Shaojie, a big financier, and there is no problem of bankruptcy in the short term. In addition, the salary is also twice as high as that of "Ming Pao", so Elune took the initiative to hold a relatively stable position as an editor of "Ming Pao" and jumped to Zhang Shaojie's company as an entertainment agent.

The stupid girl with glasses is called Su Xiaowan, she used to work part-time in "Ming Pao Weekly", I don't know why, Zhang Shaojie asked Jin Yong for someone, but among the two people who wanted to come from "Ming Pao", there was such a girl who didn't look more than 20 years old.

Su Xiaowan was not suitable to be an agent, so she became a secretary in the chairman's office in the company.

Zhang Shaojie rarely came to his company, which inevitably made Su Xiaowan a little disappointed.

When she saw someone coming, she looked up and saw that it was Zhang Shaojie, her face turned red, she lowered her head again, and buried herself in work.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "These days, I'm bothering you!" Miss Sue! ”

Su Xiaowan said in a mosquito voice: "It's good to call someone Wan'er!" ”

"Miss Wan'er!" Zhang Shaojie said.

"Yes!" Su Xiaowan's delicate face turned red again.

Zhang Shaojie shook his head, thinking in his heart, where is this secretary, she is simply a delicate lady, and she blushed after a few words with her

Elune walked into the office and knocked on the door.

Su Wan'er opened the door for her.

Elune put the information in his hand in front of Zhang Shaojie and said, "Boss, now the company is gradually on the right track. Is it to recruit troops, at least to sign more potential newcomers in the entertainment industry, right? There is only one artist under the company's name, Anita Mui, who has just acted in a movie "Modern Bodyguard", with a fixed salary of 30,000 yuan, and the company only takes 6,000 yuan. And every month, the company's expenses, rent, water, electricity, and office supplies, are at least 50,000 yuan."

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry!" However, we can dig up some seniors in the entertainment industry and let them help us train newcomers. Music, acting, directing, and all kinds of technical and artistic talents, please come over! Of course, you must be professional, you must be from a professional class, and you must have a solid foundation, I don't want to mislead people's children and waste some good seedlings! It is best to refer to TVB's artist training mechanism, Run Run Shaw from Shaw Brothers Film Company to TVB TV, the secret of dominating the film industry is not that he discovers talents with his eyes, but to create a system that can continuously cultivate stars! The future of our company is to cultivate stars and popular artists for its business purpose, and we must learn the way to success of TVB! ”

Elune nodded and said, "Okay, I remember what you said!" However, the company only has 300,000 cash on its books, and at most it can dig up some unambitious musicians and filmmakers to come to the company to teach. ”

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "Okay." I will soon increase the capital of the company by 1 million! By the way, there's a list for you! Once you've found someone on the list, be sure to sign it! ”

Ai Luen looked at the list given by Zhang Shaojie in surprise, and read: "List of potential singers - Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Huang Jiaju, Huang Jiaqiang, Huang Guanzhong, Ye Shirong, Lin Yilian, Ye Qianwen"

After that, Elune was surprised: "Where did this list of so-called potential singers come from?" ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "This is a senior talent scout in the industry, and he sold it to me at a high price. Of course, he may have sold to many people at the same time. This person has a very accurate vision, and the list he sells has at least a 6% probability of becoming a big singer! Don't ask, if you find people on the list, you must convince them, sign a contract with our company, and become our artist, if you can't convince me, tell me the address, and I will persuade them personally! ”

Elune thought thoughtfully, could it be that Anita Mui is also the mysterious scout who told Zhang Shaojie? Naturally, it is the character that Zhang Shaojie explained, and Elune will not question it anymore.

A good employee is not an employee who questions the boss's orders, but an employee who can follow the boss's instructions and get things done! Having been in the workplace for 5 years, Elune knows this very well!

―――――――― June 1980, Hong Kong's securities market was also very lively.

First of all, Hongkong Land, the largest real estate company under the Jardine Matheson family, suddenly announced an offer to acquire the tradable shares of "Wharf" when Pao Yugang went to Europe to negotiate business.

Jardine Matheson's acquisition of the outstanding shares of Wharf was not in cash, but in bonds with a face value of HK$75.6 plus two shares of Hongkong Land in exchange for one share of Wharf. According to this plan, if the interest on the bonds is included, it is equivalent to HK$100 per share to acquire the tradable shares of "Wharf" at a price of HK$96.8 in the market.

Relative to the market price of 60 Hong Kong dollars a share of "Wharf", sell to Jardine Matheson, and you can make a profit immediately!

Jardine Matheson suddenly increased its holdings of stocks, except because he was caught off guard when Bao Yugang was not in Hong Kong. At the beginning of the year, it reached a tranche payment of HK$1 billion with Jianing Group to transfer the property of "Golden Gate Building", and the transaction has now been officially completed.

Because of the new HK$1 billion in cash, Jardine Matheson's confidence has greatly increased, and it believes that it will increase its stake in "Wharf" to 49%, dispel Pao's attempt to acquire "Wharf".

Wharf is an established company in Hong Kong, and some of the characteristics of these old companies are that the land bought decades ago, or even hundreds of years ago, is extremely cheap. These lands are far undervalued in today's booming real estate industry!

Wharf's public offering of shares in the stock market is just over 90 million shares.

Hongkong Land, a subsidiary of the Jardine family, as the largest shareholder, only holds 20 million shares. In 78 years, when Wharf was about 13 yuan per share, Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang successively thought of acquiring "Wharf".

Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang actually didn't have much friendship before.

The only thing the two have in common is that with the support of HSBC, one has established the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, and the other has become the world's first ship king with 20 million tons of ships.

The two are killing each other in the financial markets, which HSBC does not want to see.

Therefore, under the personal persuasion of the chairman of HSBC, Li Ka-shing and Pao Yugang reached an understanding. Li Ka-shing sold the 20 million shares he bought to Pao Yugang at the market price, while HSBC gave Li Ka-shing half of the shares of another large company, Hutchison Whampoa, half of them and half of them away.

In this way, Bao Yugang's shares suddenly reached 30 million shares, accounting for 30% of Wharf's shares, once exceeding the Wharf shares held by Jardine Matheson.

Later, starting in '79, Hongkong Land and Pao Yugang continued to compete in the acquisition of Wharf shares. The competition between the two giants to increase their holdings has pushed the share price of Wharf to more than 50 Hong Kong dollars.

In the face of Pao's aggressiveness, Hongkong Land once proposed a settlement, willing to exchange the high-quality property assets of Jardine Matheson for the shares of Wharf in Pao's hands.

Bao Yugang proposed that the Golden Gate Building, Xingguang Xing, and some residential areas in the mid-levels should be requested. These asking prices not only exceed the market value of Bao Yugang's shares, but even more than the combined market value of the entire Wharf company.

When the Jardine Department saw Bao Yugang opening his mouth like this, he was naturally unwilling. After the two sides broke up unhappily, the acquisition war in the stock market has never stopped!

Jardine Matheson sold the Golden Gate Building for 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and borrowed funds everywhere, so naturally he was looking for an opportunity to plot against Bao Yugang

It can be said that in this year's Hong Kong stock market, there is only one building at the core of the hot spot -- the "Golden Gate Building"!

Jardine Matheson obtained HK$1 billion in cash by selling "Golden Gate Building", and suddenly launched an increase in the holdings of "Wharf"!

In the second half of the year, Jianing Group, the buyer of the "Golden Gate Building", used the concept of "Golden Gate Building" as the fuse to go public through the backdoor "Hanmei Enterprise", and speculated the shares of "Jianing Real Estate" to sky-high prices

Time does not wait for me, in the next period of time, there will be a series of major events in the Hong Kong stock market. In the short term, Zhang Shaojie must devote himself to working hard and making some money to support the development of his cultural and entertainment industry!
