"The North American box office broke 100 million?" Wang Jing was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and didn't speak, his eyes were like walnuts, and after a long time, he licked his dry mouth and said, "Are you talking about Hong Kong dollars?" ”

Lin Youlun glared at him angrily: "Nonsense, I'm talking about dollars!" ”

Wang Jing's eyes almost didn't pop out of his sockets, the box office of "Legend of the Night" in Hong Kong has just exceeded the 7000 million mark, and there is news that the North American box office has exceeded 100 million, and the Hong Kong film industry does not know how much turmoil it will set off

He began to fold his fingers and calculate over there, 120 million US dollars Lin Youlun can get 10%, which is 100 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Although Golden Harvest has not officially announced the box office data, Wang Jing has learned from Lin Youlun in advance that the film's sales revenue in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia and other countries can add up to almost 600 million Hong Kong dollars, especially in Japan, the film's excellent special effects have been greatly praised by Japanese fans. Under all kinds of word-of-mouth and praise, "Legend of the Night" directly topped the annual box office and became the highest-grossing Hong Kong film in Japanese history, and even the heroine Zhong Chuhong became the most popular foreign actress in the hearts of Japanese fans.

invested 30 million in exchange for 180 million Hong Kong dollars, and the movies made by many film companies together are not as much as Lin Youlun's films.

Because the gap was too big, Wang Jing didn't even have jealousy in his heart, and immediately thought of another thing.

"With this money, you will have more confidence to compete with Pan Disheng for the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line!"

Lin Youlun didn't answer, but asked about another thing.

"How was the filming of "The Saint of Gambling"?"

"It was filmed two weeks earlier, but the box office of "Tales of the Night" is so strong, Shaw Brothers is worried that the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" will be affected. Therefore, "The Saint of Gambling" will not be released until "Legend of the Night" is drawn. Wang Jing sighed softly, "Actually, the comedy is pretty good." You haven't seen zombie movies now, they were very popular before, and how many film companies followed the trend to shoot them, but now it's okay, as soon as "Legend of the Night" is released, no one will watch the old-fashioned zombie movies in the past. I know that none of the zombie films in Ludao can make money, and the film companies that provide investment have lost miserably. ”

Following the trend and snapping is a cancer that grows in Hong Kong films, Lin Youlun has no sympathy for the film company that lost money this time, on the contrary, he feels that this is a good thing, only the threshold for film production has been raised. Low-level inferior movies will not be flooded.

was talking about the acquisition of Shaw Cinemas. Lin Youlun suddenly asked, "I asked you to prepare 10 million last time, have you made it up?" ”

Wang Jing's face was at a loss, and when Lin Youlun saw him like this, he knew that he had forgotten about it. He reminded: "When I moved last year, I ...... on my balcony."

"I remembered, you said you were going to do something big!" Wang Jing patted his head, thinking about how he had forgotten about this, listening to Lin Youlun's meaning, but the time was ripe to do that big thing.

"The money in my hand will be invested, you can take as much as you can, the opportunity to make money is in these few months, and I don't know when I will have such an opportunity again."

The eyes on Wang Jingyuan's face were very distinct. The bones turned like oil, shining brightly, and from a distance they looked like two small light bulbs. He leaned forward, half of his body almost lying on the table, and only supported himself on the edge of the table with his hands, "What a good thing to make money." Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”

"Speculation on foreign exchange!"

As soon as he heard these three words, Wang Jing hesitated in his heart, speculating in foreign exchange is very risky, and he doesn't know where Lin Youlun has such a big grasp.

——

The clock in the living room was already pointing to the wee hours of the morning, and the light in the study was still on. …,

Luo Youmei walked into the study with hot milk, and saw that her husband Lin Xingzhi did not sit at the desk as usual, but sat there motionless like a sculpture, and there was a newspaper on the desk in front of him, but the masthead was printed with the two big characters "Ming Pao".

In Hong Kong, the two most respected newspapers in the cultural and intellectual circles are Ming Pao and Hong Kong Economic Journal. Many people know that the founder of "Ming Pao" is Jin Yong, and Lin Xingzhi, the founder of "Hong Kong Economic Daily", is not as famous as Jin Daxia, and he is low-key, so the outside world knows little about him.

Lin Xingzhi had a copy of "Ming Pao" on his desk, and Luo Youmei did not find it strange, because Lin Xingzhi had worked for "Ming Pao" for a period of time before founding "Hong Kong Economic Daily", and he was very trusted by Jin Yong. Lin Xingzhi returned from studying in the UK, Jin Yong asked him to preside over the "Ming Pao Evening News", which coincided with the first stock market frenzy in Hong Kong after the war.

After working in the "Ming Pao Evening News" for three years, Lin Xingzhi left the "Ming Pao" and co-founded the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" with his wife Luo Youmei, Lin Xingzhi is a typical workaholic, sleeping only four hours a day, often working from 9 o'clock in the morning to the early morning of the next day, with this perseverance and tenacity, "Hong Kong Economic Journal" has only come out of the predicament of the entrepreneurial period, and has developed into an influential newspaper in Hong Kong today.

Luo Youmei put the milk aside, picked up her coat from the sofa next to her, and put it on her husband with her own hands.

"Wear so little and be careful of catching a cold!"

Lin Xingzhi raised his head and patted his wife's hand on his shoulder, "Amei, come and take a look at this financial commentary written by Lin Youlun." ”

Luo Youmei took the newspaper and joked: "Isn't this Lin Dacai busy making movies recently?" Why do you think of writing reviews again? ”

"In my opinion, he is not only a genius, but also a rich man!" Lin Xingzhi said with emotion.

Since Lin Youlun began to publish a series of comments in the newspaper, Lin Xingzhi began to pay attention to this newly rising young man in Hong Kong, and also learned about Lin Youlun's life experience. Lin Youlun dropped out of school at the age of fourteen, without any background in higher education, and after reading various current reviews written by Lin Youlun, Lin Xingzhi finally believed that there are really self-taught people in this world.

Luo Youmei quickly read Lin Youlun's latest comment published in "Ming Pao", and said suspiciously: "There have been some changes in the foreign exchange market recently, but will the United States really join other countries to introduce foreign exchange intervention policies?" ”

Lin Xingzhi gave an example: "In '77, the Treasury Secretary of the Carter administration of the United States, Blumessa, used the trade surplus between Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany as an excuse to verbally intervene in the foreign exchange market, hoping to stimulate American exports and reduce the trade deficit of the United States through the depreciation of the dollar. His speech led to a frenzied sell-off of the dollar, which depreciated sharply against the currencies of major industrial countries, and then President Carter launched a 'dollar rescue package' to temporarily stabilize the dollar's price. ”

"Since 1980, the U.S. domestic economy has run a double deficit in foreign trade and a government budget. The U.S. government can only raise the domestic base interest rate and bring in international capital to develop the economy, but the large inflow of foreign capital has caused the dollar to continue to appreciate, resulting in a decline in the competitiveness of U.S. exports. In this case, the United States certainly hopes to increase the export competitiveness of its products through the depreciation of the dollar, so as to improve the imbalance of the United States' balance of payments. It's just that whether the intervention will be as big as Lin Youlun said, it's hard to draw conclusions now. ”

"So you've been thinking about this all night?" Luo Youmei is not very concerned about this issue, what she really cares about is the competitive pressure that Lin Youlun may have on Hong Kong Economic Journal after joining Ming Pao. …,

"What if he gets it?" Lin Xingzhi put forward such a hypothesis.

Luo Youmei's expression became solemn, "Hong Kong Economic Journal" is based on financial analysis, and it can develop and grow, but it is inseparable from the social and historical conditions of this period. After the 60s and 70s, Hong Kong's social and economic transformation began to modernize, and with it, a new generation of intellectuals was born, who were incompatible with the increasingly conservative Ming Pao in terms of academic training, temperament and values, and Hong Kong Economic Journal naturally became their new choice.

Now there are rumors that Jin Yong will sell "Ming Pao" to Lin Youlun after his retirement, and Lin Youlun's entry into "Ming Pao" is also regarded by the outside world as a signal for Jin Yong to cultivate a successor.

Compared with an old-school literati like Jin Yong, Lin Youlun obviously has a more modern temperament, and "Ming Pao" will not necessarily lose the past traditions in his hands, but there will definitely be new changes. Looking at Lin Youlun's various methods in the film industry, who can be sure that after he became the owner of "Ming Pao", "Ming Pao" will not rise strongly?

Ming Pao's main competitor in Hong Kong is Sing Tao Daily, but will Lam Yo-lun change his competitive strategy after hosting Ming Pao? Will it become a direct competitor to the Hong Kong Economic Journal in terms of financial reporting? These problems gave Luo Youmei a headache.

Lin Youlun didn't know that one of his comments would lead to so many thoughts of Lin Xingzhi and his wife. Using the upcoming "Plaza Accord" to speculate on the yen is something he has long planned to draw.

After the signing of the "Plaza Accord", there was a frenzy of selling the dollar in the international foreign exchange market, resulting in a continuous sharp depreciation of the dollar, with the maximum decline of the dollar against the yen reaching 50%, and the yen doubling against the dollar.

Lin Youlun has nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars of operable capital in his hands at this time, plus Wang Jing and Zhong Chuhong have also invested 15 million, if they operate properly, they can double the profit.

With 400 million capital in hand and Pan Disheng competing for the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, plus some other conditions, Lin Youlun is completely sure that he can convince Shao Yifu.
