Chapter 203. There is money to fish together
Inside the Hong Kong Wireless Office.
Chen Xuanting and Run Run Shaw face to face.
"Chen Xuanting, let me ask you a question, why do you want to make TV?" Run Run Shaw asked.
Chen Xuanting: "At first, it was for revenge!" Because I only got into the TV industry that I could learn about movies and stuff like that, but then I started to love the industry! ”
Chen Xuanting's unabastic words made Run Run Shaw a little stunned, and said, "I didn't expect you to say that." ”
Chen Xuanting: "In your old eyes, I think it's best to tell the truth!" ”
"Hahaha!" Run Run Shaw smiled, "Okay, I have to admit that I am old, and in the future, whether it is movies or television, it will be the world of you young people!" But I don't know, are you interested in wireless? ”
"Sixth Uncle - what are you...... What do you mean? Chen Xuanting suddenly felt a little wonderful.
"I mean, I want to sell it to you!"
"What?" Chen Xuanting's mouth opened wide.
"Don't be surprised, in fact, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, but unfortunately there are not many people in Hong Kong who can afford this price, and even fewer people who can afford the banner of wireless!"
What Run Run Shaw said is also the truth, in his previous life, in order to find a talent to take over the wireless, Run Run Shaw was even willing to press the price of wireless again, perhaps for him, at that time, wireless was not only his career, but his children and children, he did not want to see his children in his own hundred years later, so he would rather lose money to sell, but also to sell to an expert.
"But Sixth Uncle, you can give it to someone else, such as Sixth Aunt......" Chen Xuanting asked his own question.
"Hahaha," Run Run Shaw shook his head and smiled, "Ah Ting, tell you the truth, do you think your sixth aunt is a talent in this area?" ”
"This--I don't dare to comment on the juniors."
"She's not! A woman, no matter how capable she is. Or congenital insufficiency! She used to be a singer, and it is inevitable that she can't see some things thoroughly, but you, I've been observing for a long time, you are the material for big things, especially good at planning-"
Chen Xuanting: "......"
"Don't deny it, Ting, this time on Wall Street, you made a lot of money, right?"
"This ......" Chen Xuanting knew that he couldn't hide it from Run Run Shaw, so he didn't shy away from it anymore and told it out.
After listening to Chen Xuanting's narration, even though Run Run Shaw had experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but sigh, "1.3 billion US dollars, Ah Ting, only a young man like you dares to play so big!" If it were me, I would have had to think about the consequences of failure! ”
Chen Xuanting was embarrassed, if he hadn't been a prophet, of course he wouldn't have dared to make such a big bet.
After sighing, Run Run Shaw said: "Ah Ting, let's get down to business - wireless, are you willing to carry it?!" ”
"Sixth uncle, I-" Chen Xuanting was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I am willing!" ”
"Good!" Run Run Shaw slapped the table, "It's good to have your words!" In the future, I can also play tai chi, drink tea, chat, and truly retreat! Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the ...... of Nanshan"
"But Aunt Six, she ......," Chen Xuanting wanted to speak and stopped.
"She? If she wants, she can continue to stay in wireless, if she doesn't want to, she can go back to the garden with me, she still wants to be Wu Zetian at a great age, hehe, it's really blessed that I don't know how to enjoy it! ”
Seeing that the sixth uncle Run Run Shaw had already spoken to such a point, Chen Xuanting breathed a sigh of relief. Asked, "So when are we going to sign up?" ”
Shaw smiled and said, "The sooner the better!" ”
After Chen Xuanting left, let's talk about Run Run Shaw's side, he also held a large-scale wireless meeting for the sale to Chen Xuanting, and no one raised objections to the whole meeting, after all, as long as it is a smart person, it is understood that as long as it is something decided by the sixth uncle, it is impossible to change it.
It's just that there is always one person in the meeting whose face is not very good-looking, it is none other than the sixth sister-in-law Fang Yihua.
After the meeting, everyone else left, but the sixth sister-in-law stayed.
Shaw said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Fang Yihua glanced at him: "I just want to know why, why are you doing this?" ”
Run Run Shaw sighed and said, "You can't let go of the power in your hands, do you?" ”
Fang Yihua said: "It's not that I can't let go, it's that you don't save face for me, can I really not be worthy of being in charge of wireless power?" ”
Run Run Shaw: "You still don't understand my heart?" ”
Fang Yihua: "What? ”
Run Run Shaw: "You and I are both in our 150s, so why fight?" What are you fighting for? ”
Fang Yihua: "I didn't fight, but you didn't understand me!" ”
Run Run Shaw: "After living together for more than 30 years, can I not understand you?" Do you really think that's the case? ”
Fang Yihua was stunned, "Isn't it?" ”
Run Run Shaw sighed and said: "You don't have to fight, I can only tell you that more than half of the six billion sold is yours!" I would never give it to anyone else! ”
Fang Yihua: "......"
Before she knew it, tears flowed from her eyes.
............ "Hong Kong wireless big sell, Chen Xuanting invested 6 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy Shaw Brothers shares! ”
"Wireless change of owner, new tycoon Chen Xuanting big acquisition!"
"Genius, tycoon, the new king of TV?! Chen Xuanting, tell you a legend! ”
……… I don't know if it was the news that Run Shaw deliberately released it, the entire Hong Kong public opinion circle began to seize the fact that wireless was about to sell and shout, and everyone in Hong Kong was dumbfounded and watched Chen Xuanting, a young man who used to work as a small worker in wireless, but now he has become a tycoon, and the mythical rise of the young man!
In the past few days, Chen Xuanting has become more popular than all the stars in Hong Kong, and his posture even exceeds that of Hollywood superstars who come to Hong Kong. As soon as he goes out, a large number of gossip reporters are guaranteed to come like a wave. As soon as he showed his face, those shots greeted him like a long gun and a short cannon.
Chen Xuanting is depressed, this is no freedom.
But he is still busy preparing for the filming of the wireless drama "Looking for Qin", what should he do? I had to hire a bodyguard, buy a nanny car again, and make it even more mysterious than the future Ben-La~Deng, avoiding the eyes and ears of those media. That's a sigh of relief.
Three days later, Chan and Run Run Shaw formally signed a contract on the matter of TVB's equity, and the contract reads as follows: From now on, the shares of Shaw Brothers will be transferred to Mr. Chen Xuanting, for which Mr. Chen Xuanting will pay Mr. Run Run Shaw HK$6 billion. Specific internal cloud cloud .......
Large, bright and spacious conference room.
Two rows of lawyers exchange documents.
Run Run Shaw and Chen Xuanting signed separately, and after everyone finished signing, Chen Xuanting took the initiative to shake hands with Run Run Shaw.
Bang Bang Bang!
Several people who were allowed to take pictures did not forget to press the shutter at the right time. Record this historical moment.
It was also from that moment that it heralded the rise of a new powerful movie tycoon in Hong Kong!
……………………… In the morning, the golden sun shines at Shaw Studios in Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong.
This ancient studio has been glorious for more than 30 years, from the Shaw Brothers in the 60s, to the overlooking world in the 70s, to the rapid retreat in the 80s, and the sunset in the 90s, it has experienced enough ups and downs to make anyone jaw-dropping.
Now this old studio is about to exude a new youth, as it has changed its owner.
At this moment, on the high ground near the cinema, Chen Xuanting looked up at the cinema shining in the morning light with a rainbow, and behind him there were many high-level wireless executives, Wei Jiahui, Zeng Lizhen, Liang Jiashu, Xiao Fengming, and Le Yiling and Chen Zhiyun, who were newly named and hired by Chen Xuanting with high salaries.
Of course, in addition to the senior management of wireless, there are also a group of Chen Xuanting's good friends and career partners, such as Lei Yaoyang, Da Sixi, and the Xiang brothers who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
At this moment, Chen Xuanting turned around and rushed to Xiang Huaqiang among the brothers and smiled: "Brother Qiang, do you remember that you and Brother Sheng said together that I was dreaming if I wanted to get a wireless cinema, but now, my dream has really come true - at this moment, I can fully feel the passion of the earth under my feet, and the future Shaw Brothers Cinema is in my hands, I hope you can tell me in person, this is not a dream!" ”
Xiang Huaqiang's cool Chinese character squeezed out a smile of surrender: "Ah Ting, no, I should call you Boss Chen, you did it, I have to say that I was wrong, who would have thought that you, who was originally just an up-and-comer, could become the richest man in Hong Kong in less than two years, and the first brother among the world's richest Chinese?!" ”
"Even the girl of the Dong family who has been against you will probably admit this mistake, after all, we all underestimate you, what others can't do with all their efforts, but in your hands it becomes magical, which can only show one problem, that is, you are absolutely different, and your wrists are all over the sky!"
Chen Xuanting smiled slightly: "What a 'wrist to the sky'!" It looks like you're really convinced, otherwise you wouldn't have used the word 'wrist' to describe me! "Raise your wrist," people's wrists are to be used to control everything, including their own destiny, only a strong and wise wrist can create an extraordinary cause, to be a man to know how to plan the future, plan the present, with their own hands to write their own wishes and ideals! ”
At this moment, Chen Xuanting was facing the sun and raised his head slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of dreamy whispering. The people behind him saw a blinding halo refracted from him, and the extremely strong light made people dare not look at it, coupled with his incendiary exposition. and his tall figure, which actually gives people a sense of awe-inspiring overlooking all beings!
After Chen Xuanting finished expounding his concept, he pointed to a vacant lot in front of him and said to everyone: "That terrain is very good. Mirroring Shaw Studios, I'm going to buy it, dig the ground, make room for it, and invest a lot of money to build a new studio base that will not only be used for filming, but also include a large playground, a shopping mall, and the latest movie theater - I've already thought of a name, it's Thunder Studios! ”
Thunder Studios? The people behind them began to discuss. Cinemas are generally filmed or shown, which is good, shopping and entertainment are gathered together, which is quite fresh! It's just such a fresh thing, I don't know if I can make money in the future? No wonder he brought so many engineers here, it turned out that he had been prepared for a long time!
Just when everyone was gossiping, Chen Xuanting continued: "The construction area of the project will reach about 300,000 square meters, and I will transplant the world's famous entertainment model to build an indoor super-large-scale commercial entertainment city integrating leisure, entertainment, bars, catering, fitness, fashion and shopping." The specific project will be divided into six theme sections, including bar area, performing arts area, catering area, sauna area, game area, and shopping area. It can provide customers with one-stop consumption, and has an 800-square-meter Portman-style atrium, a large indoor waterfall and a 2,000-square-meter sky garden..."
The crowd listened attentively, and the engineers were engrossed in taking notes.
“… In short, I have only one goal, that is, to make it the most luxurious, advanced and satisfying entertainment mecca in East Asia and even the world, and the trump card in the studio! Every night you can enjoy a different type of amazing show, with all the stars on stage, showing off our Thunder Studios on a gorgeous stage – Hollywood in the US, Bollywood in India, and Thunder Studios in Hong Kong! Chen Xuanting's tone revealed an indescribable excitement and fighting spirit, which made the people who listened to him can't help but be high-spirited, as if a super cinema in the shape of a Babylon garden has appeared in front of him, resplendent and singing and dancing. Money rolling... Everyone was immersed in the dream realm compiled by Chen Xuanting, and finally some people broke free and coughed. Xiang Huaqiang said: "Ting, I want to ask." How much is it estimated to invest in such a large project? ”
Chen Xuanting shrugged his shoulders and wrote lightly: "It's not much, it's only 500 million!" ”
Xiang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief, 500 million is not much, and there are more projects of more than 500 million in Hong Kong.
But Chen Xuanting's next sentence made the people behind faint!
"Of course, 500 million is dollars!"
cough cough cough !! A violent cough.
Half a billion dollars? Isn't that nearly 4 billion Hong Kong dollars?!
Xiang Huaqiang didn't even have the strength to cough anymore, and now he has only one thought, Chen Xuanting must not find me for financing, our new Ngee An has not had much savings to invest in recent years, besides, I am also in my forties, and I need to leave some coffins for self-defense, who knows what kind of virtue Hong Kong will be after 97? !
As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of ghosts, the more ghosts haunt you. Just when Xiang Huaqiang was wiping a cold sweat, Chen Xuanting looked at him very enthusiastically: "Brother Qiang, you are well-informed here, do you think my project has a future for development?" ”
What can Xiang Huaqiang say, not to mention that Chen Xuanting's tens of billions of dollars in assets are so big that they can smash him to death, even Lei Yaoyang's Dongxing has been developing rapidly recently, and they are about to catch up with Xin Yi'an.
Coughing and clearing his throat, Xiang Huaqiang had no choice but to say, "This is an idea that Ah Ting came up with, can it be bad?" Hehe! ”
Chen Xuanting: "Can you give it a go?" ”
Xiang Huaqiang was vigilant: "Ah Ting, you are strong, of course you dare!" I can't do it, I drag my family with my mouth, and there are thousands of brothers behind me to eat, so I must be cautious! ”
Chen Xuanting: "That means you can make money?" ”
Xiang Huaqiang was a little confused and said: "According to what you said, it should be possible, all of them will be smashed into 500 million US dollars, and there will be two golden eggs!" ”
Chen Xuanting pointed to the tip of his nose again: "Brother Qiang, you look down on me too much-do you think I, Chen Xuanting, am like the kind of person who only cares about making money for himself and doesn't care about the life and death of his friends, and doesn't pay attention to righteousness?" ”
Xiang Huaqiang cried with a sad face, and said in his heart, you just leave me alone, let me fend for myself.
"Ah Ting, don't beat around the bush, I know you have a little bit of a problem with us with Dong Lingwei and Ni Qiuyi in the past, but now we have drawn a clear line with those two women - so you don't want to force us anymore!"
Chen Xuanting smiled, "Brother Qiang, you really misunderstood me this time." ”
"Misunderstanding?" Xiang Huaqiang's eyes widened.
Chen Xuanting pointed to the open space in front of him and said: "As long as I develop this place into a cinema, the land price around here will rise in a straight line, if I swallow it alone, is it not enough for friends?" So I'm going to take out some of it and give it to you for investment, don't you want to?! ”
"This-?!" Xiang Huaqiang was really dumbfounded, he thought that people would let him invest in the studio, but he never thought that he would invest in the land near the studio. Yes, if Chen Xuanting's plan is really successful and makes this one of the best film and television bases in Hong Kong and even Asia, a paradise for leisure and entertainment, then the land prices around this place will definitely rise, and even if you don't want to make money, you can't do it!
Swallowing hard, "Ting, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true! Why don't you want to? Chen Xuanting said with a smile.
Without waiting for Hua Qiang to speak, the other bigwigs couldn't sit still, "Brother Qiang, if you feel embarrassed, we will help you, let us invest in these places!" ”
"Yes, Brother Qiang! Investment is risky, buy land needs to be cautious! Let's take such a risk! ”
"We are still young and can withstand the wind and waves!"
"Let me do the loss!"
"You're resting!"
…… Xiang Huaqiang was dumbfounded, fortunately, his brother Xiang Huasheng next to him was alert enough, touched his arm, and Xiang Huaqiang immediately said: "I'm not old yet!" Don't worry about it! ”
Then he looked at Chen Xuanting and said: "Our brothers have made up their minds, and we will follow you in the future, and we will never regret it!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled, in fact, he gave such a big benefit to the Xiang brothers for only one purpose, to tie them to his own boat. After all, Hong Kong is black and white, and if you have wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, you should make good use of it and control everything you can control!
"Yes, Brother Qiang is really as arrogant as he was back then, - let's say, how much do you want to invest?"
Xiang Huaqiang raised a finger: "100 million, how about it?!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled and remained silent.
At this time, the senior Xi, who had been succumbing to Xiang Huaqiang, suddenly spoke: "Ah Ting, I am willing to invest 130 million!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled even brighter.
Xiang Huaqiang's brother Xiang Huasheng belongs to the kind of person who wants to save face for fear that others will look down on him, and at this time, when he saw that he looked down on Da Sixi, he promised more than 100 million without even blinking an eye. But his own brother still held on to the small treasury, which seemed too stingy and too stingy, so he said with a smile: "You misunderstood, my boss means that we each invest 100 million, a total of 200 million!" ”
"Ah Sheng, what do you say!" Xiang Huaqiang wanted to stop it.
Xiang Huasheng said: "Big man, we are the people of New Ngee An, the men of New Ngee An are not afraid of anything, now Boss Chen has given us the opportunity to make a fortune, if we are still hiding, how can we raise our heads on the rivers and lakes in the future?" Besides, isn't it just a little money, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to start from scratch and then make money! ”
Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang couldn't help but be a little stunned, he didn't expect that his little guy who had always been a sven and yin owl would say such arrogant words, could it be that he really slipped away and went downhill as he lived? Lost in the ambitions you had before? Even 200 million is afraid to take it out!
As soon as I gritted my teeth, my heart said okay, just fight!
So he perked up and said: "Ah Ting, since your words have come here, it will be a shame if I still pretend to be reserved to Hua Qiang, okay, I will give out 200 million!" ”
Chen Xuanting applauded: "Okay, you are worthy of being Brother Qiang, you are arrogant enough!" -- The principle of my land is actually that everyone has money to fish together, and no one can be left behind, and it is not interesting to say that I am not interesting in the future! Then he said to the engineers, "And a few of you, do you remember all my words?" ”
The leading engineer said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we have written it down without missing a word!" ”
Chen Xuanting nodded: "You all work hard for me, I am absolutely willing to give money, as long as Thunder Cinema can be successfully built, you will be a great achievement!" ”
The leading engineer said: "Mr. Chen said this too politely, that's what we should do!" ”
Chen Xuanting's eyes lit up: "I'm not polite to you, you remember clearly, if you give me something to do in the construction and do something 'tofu scum project', even if I don't pursue it, Brother Qiang will settle accounts with you!" ”
The Xiang brothers' reputation in the underworld in Hong Kong is super loud, not to mention that New Ngee An is the first society, if you really offend them, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will be caught skinning and peeling bones, so when those engineers heard this, they only felt numb, and they were unspeakably afraid, and they even promised: "Please rest assured, we will definitely do a good job, and there will never be any mistakes!" ”
Chen Xuanting saw that they were shocked, so he softened his tone a little and said, "How long do you estimate it will take to complete such a big project?" ”
"It will take at least a year and a half, plus the previous demolition work, it will take two years!"
"What? Two years? Do you think I'm just putting out $500 million to wait two years? You can also make a lot of money by putting it in the bank to earn interest..."Chen Xuanting swept his eyebrows with his tail finger and said solemnly: "Just half a year, I will give you what you want." It's a big deal that everyone's wages will be doubled, so you will work overtime and work overnight for me, and everything will be done in half a year! ok?! ”
The engineers looked at each other, hesitating. Xiang Huaqiang knew that he should say something, so he made a big gesture, pointed his finger at the chest of the engineer in charge and said, "Didn't you hear Boss Chen's words clearly?" In half a year, everything will be done, if you can't figure it out, I'll get you! Then ignoring the stunned engineer, he strode away with Chen Xuanting in his arms.
