Chapter 160: Jiahe's Life and Death Crisis
He Guanchang walked out of the banquet hall, his pace was steady, his expression was solemn, he couldn't see the abnormality, a cold sweat precipitated behind his back, and he couldn't hide the shock in his heart, Ye Tian turned out to be Qiu Degen's grandson, how could this be possible!
"Do you want to repeat the Golden Princess incident?"
He Guanchang's mind was confused, the Lei family had four large theaters, namely Lisheng Theater, Lesheng Theater, Kaisheng Theater, and Huasheng Theater, before Lei Juekun established the Golden Princess, these four were all managed by Golden Harvest, and the price was that Golden Harvest paid the Lei family a high rent.
With the increasing interests of the film, Lei Juekun deliberately got involved, suddenly interrupted the cooperation, took back the four theaters, and then acquired some small theaters, attracted some medium-sized theaters, and formed the Golden Princess Cinema Line. killed Princess Jin because Lei Juekun broke the contract.
Outside the hall, Lei Juekun happened to meet He Guanchang, a little surprised, and more embarrassed.
"Mr. Ho!"
"Mr. Lei?"
Mr. He showed surprise and said with a smile: "Isn't Mr. Lei used to the lively atmosphere inside?" ”
Lei Juekun said reservedly: "Something happened to the company......"
He Guanchang said with concern: "It's not a big deal, right?" ”
Lei Juekun shook his head and said tentatively: "Mr. He, this is?" ”
He Guanchang said with a smile: "Hehe, people are old, and they are not suitable for young people's gatherings, and they are noisy, a little dizzy, and come out to breathe." ”
Lei Juekun was silent, He Guanchang is indeed older than him, today is the celebration banquet of "Get Father-in-law", and the people of Jiahe should not come!
"Mr. Lei, please!"
"Hmm!"
Looking at Lei Juekun's back, He Guanchang breathed a sigh of relief, the celebration banquet of "Get My Father-in-law" held in the banquet hall, if the film is released on Golden Harvest, then he is the protagonist today. Instead of Ye Tian, but after changing the Golden Princess Theater, Lei Juekun had such a reaction, thinking that there was not harmony between Princess Jin and Ye Tian.
He Guanchang pondered for a while, and analyzed the relationship between Lei Juekun and Ye Tian, if it was an hour ago. Maybe he will be happy, and feel that winning over Ye Tian has increased by a few percent, but now he only has worries in his heart, seeing that there is no one left and right, and slowly walking in the direction where Lei Juekun left, he needs to return to Jiahe immediately to discuss countermeasures.
Golden Harvest
Zou Wenhuai was reviewing the planning plan of "The Legend of Xinshu Mountain", and when he heard a sound of footsteps, he saw He Guanchang walking back sweating profusely. Slightly surprised in his heart, he stood up and quipped: "The celebration banquet is so lively? ”
He Guanchang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is a celebration banquet, it is simply a life-urging banquet!" ”
Zou Wenhuai saw He Guanchang, who had always been calm, say this, and was a little surprised, and said seriously: "Did something happen?" ”
"I see Mr. Qiu Degen!"
"Mr. Qiu, does he want to increase the rent of the theater?"
Zou Wenhuai guessed with a smile, feeling that He Guanchang was making a fuss. Now that Hong Kong's real estate is in recession, the rents of various land sites have dropped significantly. Even if Qiu Degen raises the rent of the theater, how high can it be, it is a big deal to pay hundreds of thousands more every year, which is a drop in the bucket for Golden Harvest.
He Guanchang shook his head and sighed, "Ye Tian turned out to be Qiu Degen's grandson. After all the calculations, I didn't expect this! ”
"Grandson? When did Qiu Degen have grandchildren? Zou Wenhuai's head couldn't turn.
He Guanchang explained: "The grandchildren of this family, looking at the conversation between the two today, the relationship is almost the same as that of close relatives! ”
"What!"
Zou Wenhuai took a step back and lost his mind. Sitting on the office chair, it was not that he was making a fuss, but the news was too shocking, the relationship between Golden Harvest Cinema Line and Qiu Degen had to be traced back to the Dianmao period, when Lu Yuntao admired Qiu Degen very much, and planned to make movies together, there are so many talented people in Hong Kong, why Lu Yuntao is in Qiu Degen's single phase, it is because of more than a dozen theaters under Qiu Degen's command.
Qiu Degen helped Lu Yuntao, the strength of the electric machine was greatly enhanced, the pressure of Shaw doubled, but unfortunately the luck was not good, Lu Yuntao led the senior management of the electric motor to participate in the Taiwan film awards ceremony, on the way back, the plane crashed, almost all the senior management of the electric motor was killed, the company was scattered, Qiu Degen was discouraged, and since then he has dispelled the idea of entering the film industry.
Lu Yuntao's family has no intention of operating Dianmao, Golden Harvest is taking advantage of this opportunity to rise, receiving most of the resources of Dianmao, including more than a dozen theaters under Qiu Degen, with the passage of time, Qiu Degen will transfer all his energy to the Far Eastern Group, the theater has been rented to Golden Harvest, during which the Far Eastern Group has encountered several crises, Zou Wenhuai came to negotiate a heavy acquisition, Qiu Degen did not agree, he still remembers the last wish of his deceased wife, hoping to enter the entertainment industry one day.
Now that Ye Tian has quickly gained a firm foothold in the film industry, Qiu Degen's acquisition of Li's TV is an obvious signal!
He Guanchang saw that Zou Wenhuai also had no master, and his heart was deserted, and he asked: "What should I do now?" ”
Zou Wenhuai reminded: "Let the theater manager Ah Chang come over." ”
"Good!"
He Guanchang hurriedly agreed, just turned around and turned back, laughing at himself: "I almost forgot the phone." ”
Five minutes later, Cai Yongchang came in leisurely, the phone was made by He Guanchang, and he also knew that He Guanchang participated in the celebration banquet of "Get My Father-in-law" today, and called him over at this time, it must be to discuss things related to Oriental Entertainment, and he didn't think so, Ye Tian was just a small person, such a trivial matter, it was worth his personal trip.
"You're looking for me?"
Zou Wenhuai asked, "When will our contract with Mr. Qiu expire?" ”
Cai Yongchang asked rhetorically: "What contract?" ”
He Guanchang explained: "Cinema contract, didn't we Golden Harvest rent a few cinemas from Mr. Qiu, and the contract was signed for a few years? ”
"Why do you ask about this?" Cai Yongchang was a little weak-hearted, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to meet the eyes of the two of them.
Zou Wenhuai frowned and said: "If my guess is correct, Qiu Degen also intends to get involved in the interests of the movie, we must plan early!" ”
"No...... No way? ”
He Guanchang wondered: "How much time is there in the contract?" ”
Cai Yongchang was flustered in his heart, and said: "There is no contract at all!" ”
He Guanchang lost his voice: "How is this possible!" ”
"Smack......
Zou Wenhuai slapped the table heavily, his face changed several times, he couldn't have imagined that the shrewd Cai Yongchang would do such a foolish thing and wanted to scold, but Cai Yongchang had followed him since the beginning of the Wei clan, and when He Guanchang's authority became heavier and heavier, he had always supported him, if he didn't punish him, he couldn't convince the public, especially He Guanchang, what would he think?
He Guanchang couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, since Cai Yongchang took charge of the Jiahe Cinema Line, it has been going well, but he didn't expect that there would be a mistake for the first time, so he would kill someone, and if he didn't do it, Jiahe would be destroyed in his hands.
Cai Yongchang explained incoherently: "Because ...... Because every time I sign a contract, the rent will be raised, and I think Mr. Qiu is old and could retire at any time, and his sons have no intention of entering the entertainment industry, and I talked to them...... They are willing to sell the theater to Golden Harvest, so I don't think there is any need to sign a contract. ”
He Guanchang was so angry that he stomped his feet and said: "This small profit is the reason why you give up the contract!" ”
Cai Yongchang blamed himself: "I didn't expect Qiu Degen to ...... him"
"Forget it, now is not the time to pursue responsibility!" Zou Wenhuai shook his hand and said to He Guanchang: "In the future, you will be in charge of the cinema line, and Ah Chang will be responsible for the distribution business in other cities!" ”
Cai Yongchang hung his head, it was really a disaster from heaven, a little negligence caused such a big trouble, and he also lost the position of theater manager, this Ye Tian is really a disaster.
He Guanchang proposed: "Do you want to negotiate with Mr. Qiu now?" ”
How can you talk without a contract? Zou Wenhuai was silent, since Qiu Degen withdrew from Ye Tian, there must be a follow-up plan, if he knew Ye Tian's background, no matter what the price was, he would not let "Get My Father-in-law" be released.
Cai Yongchang had the intention to remedy it and proposed: "I'll go talk to Mr. Qiu!" ”
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "If Mr. Qiu intends to enter the film industry, it is useless for us to talk about it!" ”
He Guanchang thought about the problem from beginning to end, and reminded: "Now the key is Ye Tian's attitude, the children of the Qiu family really have no intention of developing the entertainment industry, it seems that Mr. Qiu can only count on this Ye Tian!" ”
Cai Yongchang said weakly: "I don't think it's necessarily Mr. Qiu's wishes!" ”
Zou Wenhuai was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”
Cai Yongchang was silent for a moment, and analyzed: "If Mr. Qiu intends to engage in movies, how can he buy Li, a person's energy is limited, take 10,000 steps back, even if Mr. Qiu intends to engage in movies, his sons do not support it, does he want to hand over the film company he worked so hard to to Ye Tian?" Mr. Qiu has many sons and the family property is not enough, will he allow Ye Tian to come and join in the fun? ”
Zou Wenhuai raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
He Guanchang frowned and said: "Although there is some truth in it, when we should not have expectations for Mr. Qiu, it is best to solve the problem once and for all, if Mr. Qiu takes back the theater, it will be difficult for our Golden Harvest Cinema to recover for a period of time, will Sir Yi still agree to the continuous screening?" When the time comes, our Golden Harvest won't even be able to release the film, won't it become a big joke! ”
Cai Yongchang argued: "We can acquire, Princess Jin can merge and reorganize, we can too!" ”
He Guanchang nodded and reminded: "This requires a lot of money, Lei Juekun has the support of the Lei family, we can only rely on ourselves!" ”
"Haha, that's a good point, with you here, why worry about it!" Zou Wenhuai took the opportunity to boost morale and said with a smile: "I am personally responsible for the reorganization of the theater chain, Ah Chang!" In the past, you were in charge of the cinema chain, you are familiar with Hong Kong cinemas, check which cinema in Hong Kong is willing to sell, and which cinema is willing to join, statistics come out, I will visit them one by one! ”
"I'll send someone to tidy it up right away!" Cai Yongchang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at He Guanchang, his face was gloomy, and he still didn't return the position of theater manager to him!
Zou Wenhuai said to He Guanchang again: "You go and persuade Ah Long to invest in several Hollywood films to be temporarily delayed, and when we get through this difficulty, we will compensate him!" ”
"This ...... All right! He Guanchang sighed in his heart, only wronged Cheng Long. (To be continued......)
