Chapter 63: The Influence of Butterflies

On the evening of the end of April, Li Yisong's family had dinner at home.

During dinner, Li Huahu asked, "Third brother, the three old buildings you bought in Causeway Bay are almost demolished, right?" When will construction begin? ”

"That's for the big brother." Li Hualong said with a smile, "The demolition and building projects are all responsible for the eldest brother's company. ”

"It's been demolished, and the foundation will be dug the day after tomorrow." Li Huawen said with a smile, "Third child, do you want to hold a groundbreaking ceremony?" ”

"It's not troublesome, just invest 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the building." Li Hualong said in a flat tone.

"What a big breath!" Li Huawen teased.

"Big brother, it's normal for the third brother to have a big tone, and now many people are talking about it, saying that the third brother is now the richest man in Hong Kong." Li Huahu said with a smile.

"It's not a question of whether the richest man is the richest man or not. I will definitely invest in building a lot of buildings in the future, and if the construction starts, caps, and opens, and all the events are held, and I still participate, then I will not be busy. I have a lot of companies that I need to spend a lot of time and energy to manage, and besides, I want to spend more time at home to spend with my wife and children! Hehe, and Grandma! ”

"I don't need you to accompany me, you just need to accompany your wife and children." Li Songshi smiled.

Li Hualong ate a few bites of food, looked at Li Huahu, and said: "Fourth, let me tell you something, in another three or five years, I will build a five-star hotel in Central, and when the time comes, I will have to compete with Holiday Inn." ”

"Central is not small, accommodating a few five-star hotels." Li Huahu smiled unhesitantly, and asked with a little curiosity, "Where are you going to cover it?" ”

"Queen's Road Central and Pedder Street, the former site of the Hong Kong Hotel...... Do you know where? ”

"Yes. It's so close to the Holiday Inn, I don't know! Li Huahu paused, and said with a smile, "Third brother, when you have enough funds in your hand, invest in the acquisition of the Chinese Bank, the Holiday Inn, the Chinese Bank, and the hotel you said you want to build are all next to each other." ”

"If you have the chance, there is a Chinese line between the two hotels, which is not bad."

Li Huahu smiled and asked, "Third brother, are you going to build it immediately and open it within three or five years, or will you start construction after three or five years?" ”

"Construction will definitely not start this year. If I have enough money next year, I may start construction next year. This hotel is built according to the standard of super five-star hotel, and the investment is expected to exceed 100 million. ”

"100 million?" Li Yisong said with a slight surprise, and reminded with a calm face, "Third child, don't borrow too much money from the bank, if the world is not good and you can't repay the bank's loan, you will go bankrupt." I've seen a lot of rich people who were once in the limelight go bankrupt because of broken funds. ”

"Abba, don't worry, I know in my heart, no matter what I do, I will do what I can."

"Before you build this hotel, you tell me that I want to see your finances."

"Okay!" Li Hualong nodded with a smile and said, "With Abba checking for me, I will definitely be invincible in the mall." ”

"Don't be too optimistic." Li Yisong said, "Hualong, in the past few years, you have been too smooth, you need to precipitate, don't be too anxious, you can't make enough money." ”

"In the future, I will not invest large sums of money, and the debt ratio of my companies will gradually decrease."

"Okay, let's eat, don't talk about business at the dinner table." Li Song said, "It's not too late to talk about it after eating. ”

Everyone shut their mouths and buried their heads in their supper for dinner.

After more than half a month, Li Hualong spent a lot of time and effort writing movie scripts, and wrote three movie scripts. In the following year, these scripts were successively made into movies, bringing millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits to Huayi Brothers Pictures.

On May 29, at 7 p.m., Hong Kong's first television station, Lai Yingsheng, was launched, which was initially a cable pay television.

The TV show on the day of the premiere began at 7 p.m. and ended at 10:40 p.m., running for only 3 hours and 40 minutes.

After Li's broadcast was launched, Li Hualong's family did not catch up with the fashion, bought TV and paid to watch TV programs, however, the launch of this TV station made Li Hualong think of the future development of Hong Kong's TV industry, and he thought about participating in the creation of Hong Kong TVB in the future, which is well-known and has filmed countless classic TV series "TVB".

"In the early days of TVB's establishment, Run Run Shaw was not a big shareholder, holding very few shares, and Li Xiaohe was still a major shareholder...... I have a good relationship with Lee Hyo-wa, and in the future, I can create TVB with him and exclude Run Run Shaw......"

Perhaps influenced by the butterfly of Lee Wah Lung, Run Run Shaw left Singapore, where he had struggled for nearly 30 years, in early 1955 and came to Hong Kong to take over the film industry abandoned by the Shaw Brothers, revive the Shaw Brothers' prestige, and established the Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Although the few films made by Shaw Brothers Film Company during its initial establishment did not lose money, the box office and profits were not ideal, and Huayi Brothers Film Group was the leader of the Hong Kong film industry.

At this time, Shaw Brothers Film Company was not Huayi Brothers Film Group's biggest competitor in Hong Kong, but Lu Yuntao's Film Mao Industry Co., Ltd. was.

Two years ago, Li Zuyong's "Yonghua" company was on the verge of bankruptcy and intended to change hands. When Lu Yuntao heard the news, he found Li Zuyong, a cup of tea was not finished, and the two had signed the acquisition contract.

Lu Yuntao merged "Yonghua" with his "International Film Distribution Company" in Hong Kong to form "Film Mao Ye Co., Ltd.", and became the chairman of the board of directors.

Behind Lu Yuntao is the powerful Lu Group, sitting on countless properties, sparing no expense to hire directors, screenwriters, and stars, and poaching Huayi Brothers Film Group many times, but did not poach a director, nor did he poach a big-name actor, only poached a few actors who are not very famous, for this, paid nearly 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in liquidated damages to Huayi Brothers Film Group.

Not long after Li's broadcast began, Li Hualong encountered a good thing, he saw the word "Zou Wenhuai" in the list of newly recruited employees of the "Ming Pao" newspaper.

The later Li Hualong liked to watch Hong Kong movies since he was a child, and after he became a networm, he learned a lot of information about the Hong Kong film industry from the Internet, and he was no stranger to Zou Wenhuai, he knew that this person had made great contributions to the development of Shaw Brothers during the Shaw Brothers Company, and later, Run Run Shaw restricted Zou Wenhuai's rights in the Shaw Brothers Film Company for his confidante, which made Zou Wenhuai and other old heroes very angry.

Later, Zou Wenhuai and his friends founded Golden Harvest Film Company, a film company that created two world-renowned superstars and countless acting stars under the leadership of Zou Wenhuai and others.

Golden Harvest not only made Chinese kung fu movies famous all over the world, but also created Hong Kong comedy and action comedy films.

Golden Harvest movies have repeatedly broken box office records, such as Bruce Lee's "Tangshan Big Brother", "Raptors Across the River", "Jingwumen", Jackie Chan's "Police Story", "Red Fan Zone" and "Spy Maze". Golden Harvest was also the first Asian production company to break into Hollywood, with Jackie Chan's "Cannonball" and Hollywood stars in the 80s and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the 90s both setting the highest box office records for independent films in the United States that year.

In Li Hualong's eyes, Zou Wenhuai is a talent, even if he is still very young, but he is worthy of his heavy responsibility.
