Chapter 157 Money-Making Opportunities

In fact, to be honest, in this era, "Phoenix TV" can make a net profit of 320 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already very good.

It's like Qiu Degeng's "Asia Television", which has invested heavily in preparing for a big job since it took over. However, although he spent a lot of money and high salaries, he hired two talents, Mai Zhuxiong and Zhang Zhengfu, to manage the operation. However, under the squeeze of the two TV stations "Wireless" and "Phoenix", the living space is getting smaller and smaller, and instead of making money, it has also lost a lot of money, and the company's deficit remains high.

Fortunately, Mai Baoxiong personally created several high-rated TV series last year and stole some audiences, otherwise, Qiu Degeng may have lost even more. However, in this way, the days of "wireless" are not very easy. Although wireless is full of talents, with Qiu Degeng's entry into "ATV" and the strong rise of Phoenix TV, the two have almost stolen 70% of the market share.

Especially as Fang Yihua truly controls wireless, he continues to reduce the production budget of TV dramas, making the TV series produced less and less competitive. In particular, the artists saw that "ATV" and "Phoenix" were treated well, so many of them jumped ship and left when their contracts expired, and they were transferred to these two TV stations, which made the continuous loss of talents.

Fortunately, wireless is backed by the "Shao's Film Company", which has a deep heritage and a lot of talents, although the brain drain is serious. However, it still attracts 30% of the public to watch wireless programs. Moreover, Shao Tycoon has been operating in Xiangjiang for many years and has a wide range of contacts, especially in the advertising business, there are still many old friends who support him, but he has not lost as much money as "ATV".

However, compared with previous years, last year's wireless profit was very small, according to a financial newspaper a few days ago, it seems that last year's net profit was less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. This has caused people to be less optimistic about the development prospects of "wireless", and some shareholders have thrown away the wireless stocks they originally held in their hands, which has caused the stock to fall sharply, falling by 13 percentage points, and the market value has shrunk a lot, and hundreds of millions have evaporated.

In other words, wireless seemed to make a lot of money last year. But in fact, it was a loss. Fortunately, Shao Tycoon has been operating in the entertainment industry for many years, and he has made a lot of money, although he has lost hundreds of millions of dollars, he can still withstand it. But if he continues to lose like this, it is estimated that he will not be able to stabilize it.

In fact, he now puts most of his mind back on the film industry, after all, this is his old job to make a fortune. And if movies are run well, they are far faster and much more profitable than television. Although nominally he is still the chairman of the board of directors of wireless, in fact, he is completely controlled by Fang Yihua, but it is a pity that this woman is too picky. Otherwise, backed by the deep heritage of Shao's Film Company and so many talents of wireless, it will definitely be able to suppress the development momentum of "ATV" and "Phoenix".

Of course, no matter how wireless is, Gu Weiqi won't care so much. In his opinion, it would be better if wireless collapsed, so that there would be no need to worry about the rest of "Asia Television", so that he could devote all his energy to the film industry. Now it seems that wireless still has tenacious vitality, and it is not an overnight thing to defeat it, only to take it slowly step by step.

Anyway, now"Phoenix TV"Although last year's net profit income was not high, it was also unsatisfactory. The most important thing is that the momentum is good, and it has also created several stars. Liang Xiaolong, Liang Weihui, Rong Huiwen, Li Saifeng, Shirley, etc., who are not big in the original, are very famous after acting in many TV series.

Another point is that last year, the TV station did enough advertising for the companies under its name, which made the business volume of each company grow rapidly. Companies such as "Tang Dynasty Daily Chemical", "Tang Dynasty TV", "Tang Dynasty Air Conditioner", "Tang Dynasty Bicycle", "Yanlong Development Bank", "Charm Baby International Clothing and Footwear Company" and other companies have basically become the preferred brands in the industry in the hearts of Xiangjiang citizens under the subtle influence of long-term advertising. That's where advertising comes in.

The company invested a total of HK$150 million in record production expenses, artist sharing expenses, channel expansion and advertising, but earned 520 million yuan. The net profit is 370 million Hong Kong dollars, which is comparable to the profit of "Phoenix TV".

It stands to reason that a TV station should be much more profitable than a music company. In fact, in addition to the singles and two records released by Gu Weiqi last year and the album of the same name of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu" sold a lot of money, there are also Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, Ye Qianwen and Su Rui's records have sold one after another, and the sales of many movies of the same name album are also good.

More importantly, the main market of "Phoenix TV" is in Xiangjiang. However, music has no borders, and it is distributed in a wide range of regions, so as long as it is good, even foreigners will buy a few copies and collect them. This has also caused the "Legend of Heaven Company" to be much more profitable than the former.

In addition, "Novelty International Comics Society", "Fashion Charm Magazine", "China Entertainment Times" and "Myth International Publishing House" made profits of 890 million, 650 million, 320 million and 560 million respectively. As for the "Giant Daily", "Movie Weekly", "TV Weekly" and "Vanity Fair", which were newly invested and founded by Tang Dynasty Fund, they have not yet made a profit for the time being. However, with the help of "China Entertainment Times" and comic clubs and publishing houses, they have opened up the sales situation, and I believe that they will soon be profitable.

In addition, Charm Baby International Clothing & Footwear Co., Ltd. has successfully entered the European and American international markets, and the "Tang Dynasty Daily Chemical" company led by Tang Ning has also entered the entire Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea markets, and is currently actively expanding production plants and developing business in the European and American markets. The Tang Dynasty international logistics and foreign trade companies have done business in Siberia, Russia, and the development momentum is also very good.

Last year, these four companies made profits of HK$780 million, HK$560 million, HK$9.5 and HK$980 million respectively. It can be said that these four companies are very profitable, of course, the real money has to be said "Tang Dynasty Fund", this company last year in addition to making hundreds of millions of dollars in the stock market, but also invested in some companies with good development prospects, a total profit of 380 million US dollars.

As for Tang Dynasty International Supermarket and Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant, the two companies have also made amazing profits with the expansion of their businesses, reaching 5.6 billion and 480 million Hong Kong dollars respectively. This is still to discard the investment in business expansion, otherwise the profits are even more amazing. In fact, the profits of the retail and catering industries are not small. Otherwise, "Wal-Mart" and "Chicken Gnaw" would not have become the world's top 500 companies.

There are also companies such as "Strange Toy Factory", "Blueprint Digital High-tech Research and Development Institution", "Blueprint Industrial Company", air conditioning, television, bicycle, etc., as well as Germany's "Tang Dynasty Automobile", "Tang Dynasty Animation" and "Novelty International Publishing House" and "Great Wisdom International Toy Factory" in the United States, with a total profit of 9.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, there are also "Guoshu Theme Restaurant", "Tang Dynasty Telecom Company", "Oriental Hollywood International Film Distribution Company" and video distribution company, as well as the "Oriental Mythology International Entertainment Film Company" in the United States, and various companies invested in the mainland by "Songqi International Pictures" and "Yamada Comics Co., Ltd.", with a total profit of 3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, "Yanlong Development Bank" is also good, with a total profit of 360 million Hong Kong dollars so far. Overall, the companies are gaining momentum. In particular, Loganan has also invested in a "Yanlong International Mining Development Company" in Australia and a "Yanlong International Petroleum Development Company" in Canada, which are not obvious now, but will be very profitable industries in the future.

After Gu Weiqi read these statements, he calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but be shocked, because it doesn't matter if he doesn't calculate, he found that his worth has skyrocketed, if there is no problem with the data on these statements, his net worth has exceeded 28 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Especially now, the profit of the film company last year has not been counted, but it is conservatively estimated that it should be no less than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. If you calculate it this way, it means that you already have a worth of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. And that's not counting the various investments in Thailand and Myanmar, and if you do, it's even more terrifying.

No one doesn't like money, and Gu Weiqi is certainly no exception, but he is not a miser. On the contrary, his consistent style of acting is to let money make money, so that he will make more money, so after learning that he has so much wealth, the first thing he thinks of is to invest this money.

Making up his mind, Gu Weiqi filtered the useful money-making information before his rebirth in his mind, and remembered that Argentina seemed to have a Chinese song war with the British Commonwealth this year in history. Originally, many people didn't know much about this matter, but as a paramilitary fan before he was reborn, he knew it very well.

Thinking of this, Gu Weiqi asked Di Ying to call Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi immediately, and asked them to come over and hold a meeting to see how they could get the most benefit from this big war. After all, there are not many state-to-state wars like this in this era of peace, and this opportunity to make money will never be missed.

What's more, the British Commonwealth burned, killed and looted when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered China, committing many crimes, and occupying Xiangjiang for more than 100 years, so it should also charge some interest.

Fang Lingwei immediately called Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi, and the two didn't let Gu Weiqi wait long before coming over.

"The two beauties, during my absence, have worked hard."

The two of them glanced at each other and smiled noncommittally, Luo Jianan said strangely: "Say, big boss, what are your orders for calling us?" ”

Gu Weiqi gestured for them to sit down, then lowered his voice and said solemnly: "That's the case, let you come today, I plan to mobilize 2 billion US dollars and quietly enter the British Commonwealth London stock market." ”

"$2 billion?" Luo Jianan and Yan Qiu Diju were both taken aback.

In fact, they have been working in the company under Gu Weiqi's name for so long, and there are not a few funds they handle. But I was still shocked to hear that $2 billion was sudden. Especially in the financial investment industry for a long time, they know that the British Commonwealth London stock market is calm, and they suddenly invest 2 billion US dollars, which is not much money at all, so it is better to invest in New York and Tokyo.

After all, the stock markets in these two places have some individual stocks that have risen and fallen more sharply, and they are relatively much more active than the calm London stock market, and as long as they are properly grasped, they can still make a lot of money.

The two of them thought about it and expressed their opinions. persuade him to think about it again, after all, 2 billion US dollars is almost equivalent to one-third of Gu Weiqi's net worth, and the withdrawal of so much funds, even if it does not affect the normal operation of the various companies under his name, will definitely slow down the pace of expansion, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Nope."

Gu Weiqi waved his hand and said with a mysterious smile: "According to the intelligence and information I have learned, in the next three months, there will be a country that will go to war against the British Commonwealth, and the British stock market will definitely fluctuate violently at that time...... And this is a great opportunity for us to make money! ”

The faces of the two changed, and they said movingly: "Boss, are you sure?" ”

"There is no doubt about it." Gu Weiqi nodded firmly, and then discussed with them secretly.
