Chapter 224 Industrial Consolidation
After signing Wu Zhenyu, Wu Qihua, Lan Jieying and Zeng Huaqian, Gu Weiqi gave Zhao Yuzhi a list and asked her to take the time to sign the list, including Zhou Xingxing, Xu Manhua, Guan Lijie and others, which are also potential stocks. In particular, the "King of Comedy" is a potential within the potential, and naturally it cannot be missed. However, the "King of Comedy" also needs time to precipitate, and now it is just to let it develop naturally, and there is no idea of pulling out the seedlings to help it grow.
Zhao Yuzhi took the list and read it and responded to his request, and then Gu Weiqi went to the Tang Dynasty Cinema to inquire about the situation, Xu Yanbing told him that the "Jingwu Hero" had just been painted, and the film was released for a month and got a box office of more than 33 million.
At this time, "Shao's" released the martial arts film "Full of Gods and Buddhas" starring Dillon, Er Dongsheng and Dai Chunliang, but it is a pity that the filming techniques are old, and the story has no highlights at all. However, with the box office appeal of Dillon and Dai Chunliang, it will not lose money. But how much money you want to make, that's also unlikely, all in all, not much box office competitiveness.
Jiahe released the "Retired Detective" produced by the satellite film company "Siyuan", starring Chen Xinjian and Huang Jinrong, although it has a certain box office competitiveness. But compared with the upcoming "food truck" of the Tang Dynasty Cinema, it is a little worse. After all, "Food Truck" has commercial elements such as fierce fights and beautiful women, and it went to Spain to shoot, which is a gimmick.
As for the Golden Princess Cinema, which is currently being released is a literary film "Unintentional Sleep" from Taiwan, Gu Weiqi has never even heard of it. In fact, Princess Jin has no choice now, because her "Xin Yicheng" has no films that she can handle, so she has to get films from other companies to be released. However, after the Spring Festival passed, it is not a good schedule now, that is, excessive films that make up the schedule, so as not to make the cinema idle and lose money, but there is not much hope for making money literary films, and it can barely keep the capital.
However, the "Burning of the Old Summer Palace" released by Yindu Cinema has a lot of box office competitiveness, this film is produced by "New Kunlun" in the original time and space, and the film starring Liang Weihui got a box office of more than 15 million, ranking fourth in the annual box office list in 1983. However, now Liang Yonghui is an actor of "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency", but he did not take over the film, and as a result, the protagonist became Zhang Fengyi, a newly rising student in the mainland in recent years, who was well received as soon as it was released, and now the attendance rate is better than that of the "Golden Princess", "Jiahe" and "Shao's" theaters.
It should be said that in the past two years, with the change of innovative ideas, leftist cinemas have gradually developed from main theme films and literary films to commercial films. After all, the main theme films and literary films can't make much money, and film companies need to develop, and they can't always rely on state funding.
Among them, Gu Weiqi's cooperation with the mainland has played a great role in promoting commercialization, and then there is the release of "Shaolin Temple", which has made the mainland earn a lot of foreign exchange. In particular, the "No. 1 leader" put forward the guiding ideology of reform and opening up, and in order for the country to be rich, the first thing is to change the inherent old thinking. Of course, film as an entertainment industry is no exception, and it is no longer possible to hold on to that set of old ideas, and it is necessary to slowly keep up with economic benefits, so major film companies have begun to change their thinking and develop towards the process of commercialization.
Not to mention the mainland, even if it is the Hollywood film industry, development is the last word. But if you don't make money, the company will go out of business, what development is there to talk about? The shift to commercialization is an inevitable consequence. And this phenomenon is also what Gu Weiqi is happy to see. Especially for him, since the film company, the vast majority of the films he has led are commercial films, even if it is a tragic film "taking the wrong car", it also has a lot of commercial elements.
After watching the film plan, Gu Weiqi left Tang Dynasty Cinema and went to Jardine Group and Hongkong Group to understand the situation.
Jardine Matheson Group's chief executive officer, Niu Bijian, reported to him, and according to his instructions, Jardine Matheson Group had spent billions of Hong Kong dollars to buy back all the shares circulating in the market and delist. And the "Jardine Matheson Group" was renamed "Weiqi International Business Group", and the integration and reorganization of industrial institutions were carried out.
In addition to the transfer of the banking and finance industry to Loganan, the integrated "Weiqi International Business Group" includes "Weiqi International Real Estate Group", "Weiqi International Hotel Chain", "Weiqi International Catering Group", "Weiqi International Supermarket Chain", "Weiqi International Infrastructure Group", "Weiqi International Shipping Group", "Weiqi International Aviation Services Group", as well as offices and Weiqi International Machinery Development Company.
As for the original "Jardine Technology" and "Jardine Schindler", these companies were spun off and merged into Blueprint Industrial Company and Tang Dynasty Communication Company respectively.
Hongkong Land also spent tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to reclaim its shares and carry out delisting and industrial consolidation. First of all, according to Gu Weiqi's instructions, "Hongkong Land" was renamed "Gu's International Business Group" by CEO Huo Jianning, which has seven major sectors, including "Gu's International Dairy Company", real estate group, hotel group, shopping mall, food and home furnishing, and residential.
In addition, there are some companies whose business performance is not very good, and they plan to wait for the stock market to heat up and hold auctions to return funds for the development of the group and the repayment of bank loans. In addition, the "Mythical Empire Film and Television Base" that Gu Weiqi asked Huo Jianning to build has already begun to plan and design drawings. However, in view of the huge project, there are more preparations that need to be made in the early stage, and the industry has been integrated during this time, so it has not yet been put on the agenda.
Gu Weiqi knew that this was a big deal, and he didn't urge him, just let him take care of the company and don't make any more trouble. After coming out of the "Gu's International Business Group", he suddenly remembered that he had promised Anita Mui to create a fund company for his son, so he went to the Tang Dynasty Fund instead. After finding Yan Qiudi, I first learned about the company's development from him.
Yan Qiudi reported to him that Tang Dynasty Fund has now developed into a large fund company, with branches in Yuanben, London and New York, in addition to investing in stable blue chips in the stock market on a daily basis, it also occasionally makes some short-term investments that are fast in and out. In addition, we will also acquire some potential industries on a daily basis, and sell them at a premium after integration, so as to earn the difference.
Since the establishment of the fund company, it has earned more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in profits for him, and now there are nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars of liquidity in the company's account. In particular, since the collapse of the Hong Kong stock market and real estate last year, two large-scale acquisitions have been made, and when the stock market heats up, some companies can be sold to make huge profits.
After Gu Weiqi understood the situation, he asked her to help him find an investment talent and plan to set up another fund company.
Yan Qiudi soon brought him a young man in his thirties, tall and tall, at least 1.9 meters or more, which is tall and burly in the areas where the average per capita figure in Xiangjiang is not very high, most of the people stand in front of him, like a child, his appearance is also very powerful, nose and wide mouth, a pair of ringed eyes, looking forward to self-pride, such an iron-cast dignified man, it is difficult to see that he is a shrewd investor.
But Yan Qiudi told him that this person is called Tie Zhengfeng, who originally fled from the mainland to Hong Kong, and has been vigorously trained in the company in the past two years, and is now the company's gold medal trader, and has good investment performance. Several stocks and futures invested in the New York stock market in the United States have made a lot of money for the company, and the investment vision is very good.
Gu Weiqi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Tie Zhengfeng, right?" Hello, my name is Gu Weiqi. ”
Tie Zhengfeng hurriedly held Gu Weiqi's hand, and said without humility or arrogance: "Boss, I know you, I don't know what the boss is looking for me?" ”
"Sit down, let's talk." Gu Weiqi gestured, sat down and said slowly: "I plan to set up another fund company, I heard Mr. Yan say that your investment vision is very good, so I plan to make you the CEO of this fund company, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Oh." Tie Zhengfeng's expression moved, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal and asked, "I don't know how much money the boss plans to invest?" ”
"For the time being, I will give you 100 million Hong Kong dollars of operating capital, and after a year, if the income is good, I will continue to increase it to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars."
Gu Weiqi observed the other party's expression and said slowly: "The follow-up depends on your performance, if you perform well, I will continue to invest in you." Of course, if the earnings are not satisfactory to me, I will consider removing you from the position of president. The basic salary will temporarily give you an annual salary of one million, and there are generous bonuses and commissions, and the specific amount of bonuses and commissions you can get depends on your operating income. I don't know what you think? ”
"No problem, boss, I am very interested in being the CEO of this new company, and I am very satisfied with the treatment given by the boss. And I'm sure I'll not let my boss down either. Don't know what the name of the new company is? ”
"It's called ......"
Gu Weiqi thought about it, his son's name was Gu Yanlong, and he said: "Let's call it Yanlong Fund, here is a start-up capital of 1 million Hong Kong dollars." When you register the company and give me the company account, I will have someone transfer the rest of the funds to you. As he spoke, he signed a cash check for one million Hong Kong dollars and threw it to Tie Zhengfeng.
Tie Zhengfeng is also a neat person, and after getting the check, he said hello and left, and began to register the company.
Gu Weiqi then went to the "Yanlong Bank Group" to find Luo Jianan to inquire about the situation, the bank spent tens of billions of dollars after two large-scale acquisitions last year, although at the end of the year, various companies transferred a lot of liquidity. However, some time ago, in order to withdraw the shares circulating in the market of "Hongkong Land Group" and "Jardine Group", it cost a lot of money.
Today, 13 banks have less than HK$10 billion and US$200 million in reserves. Fortunately, there are a lot of gold reserves, and it will soon be the end of the first month, and at the end of the month, various companies can remit a large amount of liquidity. The development of the bank is not worrying, and now Locanan has been sorting out the business of various banks, carrying out the integration of bank groups, all in all, everything is in an orderly and stable development.
However, the banking group is also responsible for 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which will not expire until the end of the year. When the time comes, the funds will be returned, and there will be no problem in paying them back. The two tens of billions are Hong Kong dollars borrowed from other banks, and they will also be Hong Kong dollars when the time comes. However, with the Hong Kong government's fixed exchange rate of 7.8:1 between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar in October this year, the money lent out alone can make a lot of profits.
