Chapter 189: Suddenly

Seeing Huang Qiusheng and Zhang Manyu who had just run away from a distance, they came back under the shouts of the assistant director, Xiao Ran walked forward with a smile, looked at these actors who couldn't stop laughing, and said: "Ayu, Ahuang, you have drunk the soup, if you don't play this play well, I will give you a good look when the time comes!" ”

"Isn't it too unworth it to pay such a price for drinking a little soup from you?" Zhang Manyu asked as if talking to herself, while Huang Qiusheng snickered on the side. Huang Qiusheng is one of the first batch of graduates of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, who joined the Phantom last year, but Xiao Ran wanted him to hone his skills and achieve the future acting three musketeers, so he didn't deliberately praise him.

In fact, Huang Qiusheng's childhood was not very good, and he was often locked up at home and couldn't go anywhere. Therefore, in that environment, he often performs for himself to enjoy, in order to pass the time, or it is precisely for this reason that he has achieved the road of the three heroes in the future Hong Kong film industry.

In the afternoon of the next day, An Yuxuan knocked on the door of the office and entered Xiao Ran's room, handed over a document and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is the information you want!" ”

Xiao Ran, who was originally writing the script, immediately raised his head and smiled at this beauty, took this information and browsed it. The other party is Hongwei Real Estate Company, which has assets of 3.9 billion yuan, and its main business is in real estate.

Xiao Ran stared at the man with a familiar face in the photo, this was Mo Huaien, the owner of Hongwei Real Estate. Mo Huaien, who is it? is the rich man who once tried to pursue Lin Qingxia.

Only, is this Mo Huaien coming for him, or is it purely for commercial gain, or both? Xiao Ran couldn't give himself an answer for the time being. However, it doesn't matter, Xiao Ran pursed his lips and smiled, but it was just a little cruel.

Hongwei Real Estate's assets are 3.9 billion, but half of them are invested by a South Korean business consortium. The background of this consortium has been clarified, and it is just a pure commercial investment consortium. The only interesting thing is that the consortium has also invested in South Korea's largest film distribution company, Xijie.

"Interesting, really interesting...... Xiao Ran's fingers twitched lightly on his legs, it was said that this would make him think a little easier. Only now there were a few weird smiles on his face: "Xijie Film Company! ”

Xijie controls the vast majority of theatrical distribution rights in South Korea, and the only company that can barely compete with it is the film service company. It was also this company that made it quite difficult for Phantom to enter South Korea, and it was not until the release of "Spy Change" that it successfully won the agency of a theater chain under this threat, and finally reached an acquisition.

Xijie had been in contact with the Phantom and wanted to be involved in investing in the production of the Phantom's films. Unfortunately, Xiao Ran rejected it with great certainty, because there is still a huge profit situation in the industry. From this point of view, he obviously has no reason to give up profits.

instructed An Yuxuan to check the information of the Guoli Investment Group, and Xiao Ran figured out that this consortium had participated in a lot of investments. However, in Xiao Ran's eyes, what is more interesting is that this consortium originally only invested in Xijie, but it was only about three months ago that it suddenly won the controlling stake.

Korean movies are obviously not good, from such a point of view, Xiao Ran has no reason to take the initiative to increase the amount of investment and take control. But for what? Xiao Ran was very confused. Suddenly, he smiled with relief, whatever it was for.

Why did Hongwei Real Estate design to frame Mingxuan like this? Even if your peers are enemies, you don't need to do that. Unless, Hongwei is trying to get something good here in Mingxuan. What are the benefits of Mingxuan's bankruptcy?

In fact, Xiao Ran didn't suspect that this was aimed at himself, and with his current net worth, such a design obviously couldn't hurt him. Besides, Xiao Shaohao did not do business in the name of Xiao Ran. Therefore, Mo Huaien is very likely to have commercial reasons this time, and he may want to stab himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart moved, and he picked up Mingxuan's information and browsed it. Mingxuan is nominally a real estate company, but in fact there are only two pieces of land in hand, most of which are just speculation.

The two pieces of land in Ming Xuan's hands are worth more than 400 million and 200 million respectively. The former is a piece of land that is appreciating in value, while the latter is the piece of land that was framed by design, and the original value was about six or seven billion, but after the news spread, it quickly fell.

Mingxuan only has a little value for these two pieces of land, the former was only obtained under the financing of the Tianxia Fund, and the loan was done at that time. This made Xiao Ran feel a little funny, although he was not a conspirator, but this trick could still be seen.

Mo Huaien's target must be one of these two pieces of land, so he deliberately raised the price of this land so that Ming Xuan was on the verge of bankruptcy and was collected by the bank. If you can't pay back the money in a month, it will be seized, and the bank will take it to auction, and Mo Huaien may not even need to wait for the bank to auction it.

However, which piece of land is the target? Or both? Xiao Ran was a little confused. Flicking his fingers lightly, it seems to be practicing finger flicking magic skills. After thinking hard, according to the analysis report of Power, the 400 million piece of land has the potential to rise to more than 600 million, while the other piece of land is difficult to predict.

If it were you, how would you choose? Xiao Ran smiled lightly, such a choice didn't seem to be very difficult. In the absence of financial difficulties, there is obviously no problem in acquiring these two plots of land. With the financing of national interests, is Hongwei likely to have financial problems?

Wait, Guoli is not completely wholly controlled, but has a lot of directors and bank financing. And that bank is none other than South Korea's Riyou Bank, so it's interesting.

Liyou? National interests? Cj? Hongwei? Xiao Ran tried to straighten out the relationship, and he always faintly felt that these three were coming for him. To be exact, it is better to say that it is for Hong Kong movies. But what is their purpose? Don't they know that Hong Kong's registered film companies are very strict at the moment?

Back to the question of Fang Cai! Xiao Ran found that his thinking was really wild. Of course, this is a good way to put it, but if you put it another way, it is actually easy to get distracted and think about other things. The 400 million piece of land will definitely appreciate in value, but what about the 200 million piece? There must be some reason for this appreciation.

Xiao Ran thought of this, as if he had caught some inspiration. Suddenly, digging through the map and looking for it, he finally understood. The 200 million piece of land is next door to the land controlled by Hongwei, and the land controlled by Hongwei is much larger than Mingxuan's, and it can be built into a shopping mall or a luxury residential area, and it can still be sold happily.

This means that as long as Hongwei takes Mingxuan's land, it will be Mingxuan who will pay to help Hongwei buy land. Sure enough, Xiao Ran smiled faintly. It's just that Mo Huaien will not underestimate him a little.

"Of course, I don't underestimate him, at the end of the day, he has more assets than we combined. It's just a little bit of blood for him now, and there will be something that will make him even more unbearable in the future! Mo Huaien smiled, and his calm appearance surprised the guys beside him.

In particular, Jin Zhiyou, chairman of the board of directors of Guoli, was even more interesting, he felt that Mo Huaien was still very methodical, and he was able to make Xiao Ran fall into the scheme. The most important thing is that in just such a blink of an eye, Mo Huaien has earned at least 500 million, and he still looks still, which is a bit terrifying.

"Mr. Mo, in fact, I don't really understand, why did you design Xiao Ran?" Kim Ji-woo smiled, but there was confusion in his eyes. In fact, there will be more cooperation between them than once, and he thinks he needs to figure it out.

"Because ......" Mo Huaien's expression immediately froze, his heart beat violently, and now he knew why he couldn't pursue Lin Qingxia in the first place. Maybe it was better to say that he was self-righteous and thought that Xiao Ran was hindering it, and he felt that Xiao Ran was using the identity of his godbrother to get close to Lin Qingxia. Of course, the most important thing is to make money.

Mo Huaien couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of Xiao Ran, he and Xiao Ran actually had no enmity. Seriously, Mo Huaien doesn't hate Xiao Ran, it's not that he doesn't understand what it means to be a king and a loser, even if he doesn't understand it, he should understand it all the way in the mall, he is just very jealous that Xiao Ran got Lin Qingxia.

The most important thing is that Guoli's Kim Ji-woo told him how much Xiao Ran made on the movie last year. That's a huge number, and the money he makes in a year is more than his net worth, which is obviously a very good way for him to make money as a businessman.

Of course, Mo Huaien was skeptical at first, he was not Xiao Ran, and he never had a phantom. How Fang Ruohai was completely knocked down by Xiao Ran, few people knew, but the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't help but be afraid. Moreover, he also knows very well what kind of power Xiao Ran has in the entertainment industry. As the only person selected as one of the top ten powerful people in Hong Kong in the entertainment industry last year, it is definitely not a joke.

Sometimes, though, the benefits are tempting. The Phantom's profits from the movie are simply enough to make everyone's hearts move, of course, this is only for a businessman of his level. He had to admit that if he could be as big as the Phantom, the profits would be really terrible.

Just like Xiao Ran's previous judgment, he is a very cautious person, so cautious that everything needs to be accurately calculated before he can do it. This time was no exception, and the reason why he agreed was because his side already had several advantages.

The advantage comes from all sides, and if he didn't have this advantage, he wanted to be under Xiao Ran's power, and it was even likely that they wouldn't even be able to register a film company. With these advantages, of course, the situation is different, and he even thinks he has won.

Of course, there are two other reasons, the first is because Guoli has made concessions to its own interests in this real estate war. Second, Mo Huaien was very jealous that Xiao Ran got Lin Qingxia, and he always felt that it was impossible for a hairy boy like Xiao Ran to give Lin Qingxia happiness.

Xiao Ran didn't realize all this at all, at least not yet, although he already had a little premonition, but the premonition was inaccurate. He's now completely put that behind him and is working on a script, a script that's completely his own.

He wanted to write a script like "Spider-Man", with an urban martial arts theme. This is obviously not difficult, but the difficulty lies in his attempt to use this film to make Westerners accept martial arts films, just like science fiction films.

The story is actually very simple, that is, a man with martial arts is chivalrous in the city. Of course, this is also convenient for making a sequel. He has been thinking about this idea for a long time, and if he wants the West to fully accept Chinese films, he must first pass the martial arts level.

Of course, on the cultural front, he had already paid a lot of money for Shuxiang to buy a publishing house in the United Kingdom. In a sense, it's definitely a losing deal. But Xiao Ran's strategy has always been that no matter how much he loses, he must do what he needs to do, and he must let the market come out.

That's why Xiao Ran went to buy shares of Dell and Microsoft, what he wanted to do was not to make himself a rich man, but to use the money to make up for the loss of movies. Just like last year, last year's cinemas in France were losing money, and even a few films were paid to distributors.

On the surface, because the Phantom has achieved good results in Southeast Asia, it has covered up its losses in the West, and in the first two years, the Phantom has at least one film that can sell well in the West to make up for it, so it is not very obvious. But in the future, Xiao Ran is not sure.

It's as if this year is just over a month, and Phantom has already invested a full 500 million in the computer department to add various equipment, and 300 million in several companies such as Pixar. A deal like this is something that even a fool knows is a loss. These departments with strong technical surnames may not be able to make so much money for the Phantom, but fortunately, Xiao Ran holds the main shares of the company, and Fang Xiaoqiang and Wei Dongling have no opinion on Xiao Ran's decision-making, which allows this loss to continue.

Continuing to talk about the script, Xiao Ran has been thinking hard about how to make Western audiences accept something that is completely unthinkable to them. Xiao Ran knows very well that the first point is to cultivate the audience's viewing habits, and when Western audiences get used to this kind of film, they will gradually become less resistant.

This requires the Phantom to strengthen its production in this area, and try to lose as much as possible to the West. In fact, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is already in preparation, this time Xiao Ran still invited director Hu Jinquan to be the producer, and let Xu Ke to direct, which is completely opposite to history, so as to avoid Xu Ke and Master Hu falling out.

You can't let Hu Jinquan direct, and then Xu Ke jumped out and pointed out that it won't work here, not there. Don't forget, Xu Ke is a very lonely person, that is, he doesn't have many friends in the circle. Everyone who has cooperated with him has basically stopped cooperating in the end. The most typical is Li Lianjie, the second spring of Xiao Li's actor career was brought out by Xu Ke, but in the end, because he couldn't stand Xu Ke's temper, he no longer cooperated with him.
