618 [Fight for Favor]
The studio of "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" was rented from Xinyicheng, although Xu Ke withdrew from Xinyicheng and formed his own Xu Ke studio, but because the big owners are Wang Zijun, the two sides are very closely connected.
For example, Xu Ke's equipment for filmmaking, as well as a small number of personnel, were all seconded from Xinyicheng.
Mai Jia and others are super talents in Chinese films, and with the support of Wang Zijun, the rapid development of the new art city is even more extreme than that in the parallel space.
In the first two years, in order to boycott the new art city, Golden Harvest also joined hands with its old rival Shaw Brothers. But now that Shaw Brothers Film Company has collapsed and gradually stopped making films, Shaw has turned all his energy to TVB and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and Golden Harvest can only support it alone.
However, two years ago, Li's TV station was acquired and reorganized into ATV, and Zou Wenhuai also took the opportunity to recruit the next batch of talents. At that time, Huang Xizhao, the general manager of Li's TV station, took the lead in leaving, and Mai Dangxiong, Xiao Ruoyuan, and Huang Tailai followed and left. Among them, Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan have both entered Golden Harvest's satellite company, and although the currently released "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" is affected by the aftermath of "Titanic", the box office is still very good compared with other movies of the same period.
However, the new art city is not without gains, Huang Tailai and others joined the new art city after quitting Lishi. And the other two of the "Lishi Three Heroes" - Tu Yongxiong and Li Zhaoxiong entered Wang Zijun's good view.
It can be said that when Lishi became ATV, it was much cheaper for outsiders.
Wang Zijun thought that he had the biggest advantage, because he recruited Huang Xizhao.
Huang Xizhao is the first and last Chinese general manager of Lishi. It can be said that Lishi is completely growing in his hands, and when he was in charge of Lishi's TV station, he had several times caused the ratings of wireless stations and Jiashi to plummet. And the "Lishi Sanxiong", Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming, Huang Tailai and other strongmen were all promoted by his insight.
Such a person, after leaving Lishi, will naturally not lower his price to Jiashi and wireless stations to be subservient. When Wang Zijun went to ask him to go out of the mountain, Huang Xizhao's identity was the owner of a small trading company, and after a while, he finally got through to him and became the general person in charge of the "Miss Asia" beauty pageant.
It can be said that from the beginning of the beauty pageant, Wang Zijun has not done much by himself, Huang Xizhao is arranging, and everything has been done properly.
Huang Xizhao naturally can't be overly responsible for a beauty pageant, and after the beauty pageant is on the right track, Wang Zijun will start his "new star guide" plan. The specific idea is to open a company called "DreamWorks Cultural Venture Capital" and appoint Huang Xizhao as the general manager of DreamWorks.
In addition to venture capital, DreamWorks also has a brokerage firm to network with a variety of talents. With Huang Xizhao's management ability and people-aware methods, I believe that in the future, Hong Kong will only have DreamWorks, and there will be no so-called Emperor Entertainment.
Uh, it's far away.
The boss of Emperor Entertainment is now waiting outside the studio in Xinyi City in a luxury car.
Since the suspension of the real estate company, Yang Shoucheng's luxury car and mansion have long been auctioned by the bank, and this luxury car was naturally borrowed by him to support the faΓ§ade. Although Yang Shoucheng has become a poor egg, he still knows a lot of people on the road, and he has many friends who are angry, so it is not a problem to borrow a car.
Nested in the cab, Yang Shoucheng only looked at his watch twice, and waited until eight o'clock in the evening to finally see Guan Zhilin coming out of the set. Yang Shoucheng immediately drove forward, opened the window, and stretched out his head to greet Guan Zhilin with a smile: "Hello, Miss Guan." β
Guan Zhilin glanced at Yang Shoucheng, reacted for a few seconds, and finally remembered Yang Shoucheng and knew that he was a poor bastard who had broken his life. She greeted with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Yang." β
"Can you enjoy a meal?" Yang Shoucheng asked.
Guan Zhilin thought that the other party wanted to soak her, so she was quite disdainful and refused: "I'm sorry, I'm very tired from filming today, I want to go home early to rest." β
"Or I'll give it to you." Yang Shou became enlightened.
"No, I have my own car." Guan Zhilin said.
Seeing that Guan Zhilin was leaving, Yang Shoucheng hurriedly said, "Miss Guan, please wait a minute, I really just want to invite you to a meal, and I don't mean anything else." β
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that I'm tired today." Guan Zhilin said with a smile.
Slut! Yang Shoucheng cursed in his heart and said: "I admire Mr. Wang Zijun very much, I heard that Miss Guan and you and Mr. Wang are good friends, so I want to invite you to a meal to convey my respect for Mr. Wang." β
At the mention of Wang Zijun, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but look at Yang Shoucheng twice, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I just want to eat some supper." β
The two drove one after the other to a nearby high-end restaurant, and after a while, Yang Shoucheng finally got to the point: "I have a business in my hand now, I hope Mr. Wang can invest, I don't know if Miss Guan can help contact me." β
Guan Zhilin knew that Yang Shoucheng was down now, and he was afraid that he would be a liar, so he didn't dare to agree, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, why don't you go to Taiwan to talk to Zijun in person if you have business, Zijun and I are just ordinary friends, and what he says has no influence on him." β
"Where, everyone knows that you and Mr. Wang are good friends, and Mr. Wang will definitely pay attention to you when you speak." Yang Shoucheng said. He also wanted to go to Taiwan to meet Wang Zijun in person, but Lu Guozhan only gave him one day, and he didn't have time to apply for a visa. What's more, he is now in a state of debt, basically in a state of grounding, as long as he dares to leave Hong Kong, it is estimated that in a few days, his watch business will have to be broken up by the creditor and move home.
Yang Shoucheng's compliments made Guan Zhilin very useful, and then Yang Shoucheng took out the "ciluo" naked interest temptation, saying that as long as this thing is done, the business will grow bigger in the future, and he will be able to redeem the real estate company that was taken over by the bank. When the time comes, Kwan Chi-lam will be paid for two holiday villas on Lantau Island - anyway, after the resort is repaired there, the villas will not be sold at all due to Sino-British negotiations.
After Yang Shoucheng explained that he was doing serious business, and took out the attachment of today's bid to Guan Zhilin, Guan Zhilin finally told Yang Shoucheng the phone number of Wang Zijun's private house, and asked Yang Shoucheng not to tell Wang Zijun that he had revealed it himself.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ When Yang Shoucheng said goodbye to Guan Zhilin and hurried home, Wang Zijun was at home to celebrate his youngest son's 4-year-old birthday.
"I wish you a happy life! I wish you a happy life......"
A large family clapped their hands around a cake and sang a song, Xiao Wang Xi was wearing suspenders, combing a beautiful parted hair, and holding his breath with his cheeks.
"Whew!" The four candles were extinguished at once.
Zhao Yazhi stroked his son's shoulder and asked, "What wish did Ah Xi make just now?" β
Wang Xi raised his little head and said in a childish voice: "My wish is to grow up quickly and go to school with my brothers and sisters." β
"That's good!" Wang Zijun hugged his son and kissed him, stuffed the plastic knife into Wang Xi's hand, and said, "Today, Ah Xi is a year older, you come to cut the cake for everyone." Count how many people are here? There are as many people as there are portions. β
Wang Xi stretched out his little hand solemnly, nodded his head and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4...... 8οΌ9γ 9, Dad, there are 9 people. β
"Then divide it into nine parts!" Wang Zijun held his son's little hand and helped him cut the cake.
After cutting it, under everyone's smiling gaze, Wang Xi pushed the first plate of cake to Lin Yi and said, "This piece with words is for the eldest brother." β
Then it was to Wang Shiya: "This piece has cherries for the second sister." β
Finally, Wang Feiyu: "This piece of love is for the third sister." β
"What about mom and dad and aunts?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile.
Wang Xi immediately said: "This is the biggest one for Dad, and this one is for Mom." This piece is for Aunt Qingxia, and this piece is for Aunt Hepburn......"
From the ranking of children, you can see who he is closest to. The final result made Lin Fengjiao cry and laugh, she was actually ranked last, probably related to her management of the back house, sometimes she would reprimand the servants who did wrong things with a straight face, so that she left a terrible impression on the children.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The children were happily sharing the cake when the maid suddenly came over and said, "Sir, there is a Mr. Yang Shoucheng from Hong Kong looking for you." β
"Yang Shoucheng?" Wang Zijun's expression was stunned, the famous emperor boss has not yet entered the entertainment industry, what is he looking for himself?
Wang Zijun picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Wang Zijun." β
"Mr. Wang, it's really presumptuous to disturb your rest......" Yang Shoucheng first praised and admired before finally getting to the point.
Wang Zijun gradually understood that before Yang Shoucheng did real estate, he mainly made a fortune by selling clocks and watches. When selling clocks and watches, he relied on going to the dock to pull tourists back to the store one by one, and gradually had a good cooperative relationship with travel agencies in some countries and regions.
Now that Yang Shoucheng is bankrupt, he has set his sights on the jewelry market and persuaded HSBC to lend him money to open a gem city. The main customers of Gem City are tourists who visit Hong Kong. The relationship between travel agencies in various places still exists, which is one of the reasons why he is full of confidence.
It's a pity that since Yang Shoucheng went bankrupt, the attitude of those travel agencies outside the island towards him has changed and they have begun to distrust.
Do you think, a poor man with hundreds of millions of debts suddenly opened a gem city, and how many genuine jewels are sold in it, I'm afraid everyone has no bottom in their hearts. These travel agencies did not dare to bring their own tourists to his gem city, and as a result, Yang Shoucheng did not sell much goods for more than a week after opening, and the jewelers who settled in asked to withdraw the cabinets.
Yang Shoucheng's idea is to use the name of the Miss Asia beauty pageant (it can also be said to be Wang Zijun's name) to give those travel agencies a reassurance, and the advertising effect is secondary.
"So what are you going to do? If you don't pay if you win the bid, it's impossible for you to make money and pay it. Wang Zijun asked.
"Mr. Wang, if possible, I want to disassemble 10 million Hong Kong dollars from you." Yang Shoucheng paused and said, and then he talked about his plan in detail, such as where and where the gem city he opened, how much tourist traffic there was, and what the results of the market survey were.
"In business, don't be angry if you say something unpleasant." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "Even if you can really earn money back, why should I lend you money, I am not a benevolent person." β
Yang Shoucheng's tone was sluggish, and he said a little unwillingly: "Mr. Wang, we can make a friend, one more friend and one more way." The grace of dripping water, I, Yang Shoucheng, have always been reciprocated by springs. β
Wang Zijun rubbed his forehead and said, "There's no need to repay the favor, I think Mr. Yang is also a wonderful person, how about we cooperate?" β
"Cooperation?" Yang Shoucheng asked suspiciously. It's not that he's worried about Wang Zijun stealing his business, but his current situation, let alone looking for Wang Zijun, he doesn't even have the opportunity to cooperate with ordinary rich people.
"Yes, now Hong Kong's property market is sluggish, but it will eventually pick up, I see that your real estate company has performed well before, or I will pay 30 million to redeem it from the bank?" Wang Zijun asked with a smile.
When Yang Shoucheng heard this, he was both happy and disappointed. Where was his company worth 30 million before, but now Wang Zijun has taken a big advantage. But if Wang Zijun doesn't make a move, and waits for him to make money to redeem himself, then I don't know if he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, and he should thank Wang Zijun for it.
Wang Zijun said: "I will pay 50 million, 30 million to help you redeem the company, and 20 million to help you pay the sponsorship fee after winning the bid." But I want 60% of your real estate company and 55% of your gem city. What do you think? β
Yang Shoucheng trembled when he heard this, and his mood was indescribably complicated. Although he is a bold person, he is very unique in business, and he has always been the majority. Now that Wang Zijun has bought all his business and become a major shareholder, he will have to look at Wang Zijun's face in everything in the future, which is not in line with his temper.
But think about it calmly, Wang Zijun's move is simply sending him money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a charcoal in the snow.
After thinking about it for less than a second, Yang Shoucheng almost subconsciously said: "Okay!" β
"That's it, I'll go to Hong Kong in a few days, and I'll call Lu Guozhan over there." Wang Zijun hung up the phone after speaking.
Yang Shoucheng held the telephone microphone, his face flickered with sadness and joy, and finally let out a long sigh.
Wang Zijun smiled very brightly, although Yang Shoucheng's Gem City did a very difficult job in the first two or three months, but in the following years, it was said that he was making money, and in two or three years, he relied on the money earned by Gem City to repay the debt of 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Daddy, eat cake!" Wang Xi didn't know when, he had already come to Wang Zijun's feet with the cake.
As soon as Wang Zijun squatted down, Wang Shiya ran over and said, "Dad, I specially left you a cherry on the cake." β
Seeing this, Lin Yi and Wang Feiyu also came over with food.
Wang Zijun couldn't accept all kinds of food stuffed by the children with crying and laughing, there is no sign of the women in this family competing for favor, but the children's competition for favor is so direct.
