Chapter 101: Imperative
"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Wei Dongling glared at Xiao Ran angrily and yelled, making the employees outside think that the general manager had a conflict with the boss. However, in fact, there is indeed a conflict: "You must not use the company as a mortgage for loans!" ”
Xiao Ran rubbed his nose helplessly, he didn't expect Wei Dongling's reaction to be so big. However, Wei Dongling's tough tone fell into his expectations, otherwise Wei Dongling would not have been forced to resign because of the famous merger.
"Adong, I have a hard time, please believe me!" Xiao Ran took out all his sincerity and looked at the angry Wei Dongling, and decided to tell him everything: "You might as well calm down and listen to my reasons first!" ”
Wei Dongling sat down indignantly, but his hand still slapped on the table to express his dissatisfaction. Xiao Ran didn't know what to say, Wei Dongling's tone and actions made him think that he was working with Wei Dongling, no wonder it was difficult for this very capable person to do a long job.
"Do you know who Guan Xin is?" Xiao Ran didn't get into the topic immediately, but planned to tell everything, at least such a shrewd subordinate would definitely be able to give good advice: "He's from the mainland, you know, but I don't think you must know that he has some connections and can get some information that we can't get." ”
Wei Dongling was dumbfounded for a moment, is it Master Guan Xinguan or is it a powerful person? He had never thought about that. Xiao Ran smiled helplessly, in fact, he knew very well that the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency was the intelligence center of the National Security Bureau in Hong Kong, and two years later, there was a major incident in which the person in charge defected.
In this way, Guan Xin's identity is about to come out. Xiao Ran had been unsure before because he felt that such things should only happen in movies, not in reality, after all, this is somewhat absurd.
In fact, he could vaguely speculate about Guan Xin's purpose for staying by his side, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing Wei Dongling's surprise, Xiao Ran spoke again and gave him a surprise: "A few months ago, I took some money from the company, that is, I made an investment fund for two friends. I hope that this fund will be a backup force for the Phantom. ”
"But recently, I have noticed that there are unusual traces in the securities market!" Xiao Ran was a little worried that his words would be exposed, after all, he didn't know anything about securities: "So, I decided to take the opportunity to get a vote here and use this money to grow the company!" ”
At this time, Wei Dongling had already gotten rid of Fang Cai's surprise, and said calmly: "If you decide to make a vote on stocks, then I advise you not to, the risk is too great, it is far better to make a movie!" And there's no need to throw all the money into it. ”
"In fact, I would never have made such a choice if there had been no accident!" Xiao Ran sighed, how could he be willing to go against the Fang family, but from the moment he began to pursue Fang Ruoxin, the feud between them was destined to be concluded: "However, you may not know one thing, this matter was told to me by the master - Fang Ruohai has returned to Hong Kong!" ”
"He's back!" Wei Dongling's expression changed greatly, he didn't have much contact with Fang Ruohai, but after only a few interactions, he knew that this was by no means an easy person to deal with: "When did it happen, why didn't I know?" ”
"I just found out, won't I tell you now?" Xiao Ran took a deep breath and pursed his lips and said, "You and I both know what Fang Ruohai is doing when he comes back, and this time he also found Wang Yu and Wang Minggui." ”
"Wait...... I'm messed up! Of course, Wei Dongling could guess what Fang Ruohai was doing when he came back, but the cruel words that Fang Ruoxin said with a hideous expression were published in the newspaper. He sorted out his thoughts for a moment before he suddenly realized: "You want to defeat Fang Ruohai in one fell swoop in securities, but they have strong financial resources, just Wang Yu alone may not be able to defeat us, besides, the three of them join forces!" ”
"You don't need to worry about this, in the securities market, I have full preparation and certainty!" After saying this, Xiao Ran realized that he had exposed his stuffing, and hurriedly made up for the loophole: "Since I noticed the unusual atmosphere in the stock market, I am preparing to enter the market!" ”
told Wei Dongling about his plan, Wei Dongling digested it and looked at Xiao Ran with strange eyes, and looked at Xiao Ran and asked in horror: "You are not in love with the same surname, right?" Whether you're or not, I'm not anyway! ”
Wei Dongling laughed and slapped Xiao Ran in the chest: "you, but, don't you think this plan is too risky?" Moreover, I found that you are a very ruthless person, and you can make such a determination! What if that dealer is not strong enough? ”
Joke! Don't have enough strength to dare to come to this troubled water? Xiao Ran knew that during the stock market crash in 82, Jardine Matheson, a British-funded company, was full of despair about Hong Kong's return to China and decided to register the company in Baizhaoda. On the day of the announcement, Li Ka-shing seemed to have a premonition that the news would definitely make the stock market plummet, and announced that Cheung Kong would give a dividend of four yuan per share before the market opened.
This time the bonus is the most generous act in Hong Kong's history, just like this, Li Ka-shing gave away a full 2 billion. However, even these two billion still could not withstand the decline of the stock market. If you don't have enough strength and want to be a banker, that is undoubtedly looking for death.
The most important thing is that Xiao Ran is not a dealer, so he doesn't need to have a hard time with Fang Ruoxin. Moreover, Xiao Ran didn't plan to make a hard bet on stocks, he wanted an index. If you are lucky, you can at least double the profit this time by taking advantage of the stock market crash.
In order to make this scene more realistic, Wei Dongling even went to many banks in order to borrow a little more money. However, Xiao Ran remembered that many banks were affected by the stock market crash, so they finally chose Standard Chartered Bank.
A total of only 40 million was borrowed, and this was only obtained because the Phantom Company had three films being filmed. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't even be 20 million. However, the matter was not finalized quickly, and it was decided until almost October.
Wei Dongling did a good job of covering up the fact that there was less than one million left financially, and indirectly let the internal annihilation know about it at the right time. And Xiao Ran's side has already entered the market, and he will start a small range of purchases before the market maker puts the stock price up, and try to accumulate capital as much as possible.
The team to Venice has returned, and as Xiao Ran expected, there is nothing to gain. The only gain was a contract with a French distribution company that sold the first round of screening rights in France. However, this price is so low that Xiao Ran is very depressed, only 200,000 US dollars.
Xiao Ran was a little envious, it would be wonderful if it was the stock market crash in 1973, when Hong Kong stocks fell by as much as ninety percent, which was definitely the world's largest decline record. If you are in that era and have hundreds of millions of funds in hand, I am afraid that you can make billions of dollars in the blink of an eye.
Envy is envy, but Xiao Ran is still very rational to do all the preparations, and the futures index is often decided within one day, and he doesn't want to fall down because the preparations are not done.
Does Fang Ruohai plan to enter the market? This is a very critical question. After Guan Xin came back, he gave Xiao Ran an understated answer: "They are mobilizing funds, and they will definitely be able to prepare within three days!" ”
Fang Ruohai was indeed planning to enter the market, and this time, in order to achieve an unexpected effect, he even came back quietly. Except for his family and a few assistants, no one knew that he was back.
These days, he has been thinking about it, in his eyes, Xiao Ran is a fairly stable guy. However, the surname Gerry also has an adventurous element, the most typical being the gangster incident. Fang Ruohai had analyzed the whole thing after the incident, and in the end, it was an aura that made him think of Xiao Ran, the initiator.
Obviously, that incident must have been caused by Xiao Ran, from that point of view, Fang Ruohai admired Xiao Ran's courage very much, he could collect and release, and dared to shout with the big brother of the underworld. The most important thing is that he always thought that Xiao Ran planned the whole thing, although the truth is that Xiao Ran was very surprised by that incident.
In a sense, Fang Ruohai felt that Xiao Ran was the same kind of person as himself, but he was better at shopping malls, and Xiao Ran was better at conspiracy. Thinking of this, he felt that Xiao Ran had no reason to do such a stupid thing.
Making movies can have ten times the profits, Xiao Ran has no reason to mortgage all the film companies, and use the money to enter the stock market to gamble the risk. The more he knew about Xiao Ran, the more unfathomable Fang Ruohai felt that this person was becoming more and more unfathomable, he always thought that Xiao Ran was a film talent, but he didn't expect to be a clever decision-maker.
And now that Xiao Ran has actually entered the stock market, this makes him extremely confused, and he can't help but ask the two opposite: "What does Xiao Ran want to do?" Is that how the stock market attracts him? Or was it something that attracted him? ”
Wang Minggui didn't know how to answer, he felt that Xiao Ran was really very mysterious, and he was able to escape under such a situation last time. Wang Yu obviously didn't realize Xiao Ran's power, and shouted very unconvinced: "Ah Hai, I'm afraid of what he is doing, but he is just a hairy boy." If it weren't for your disagreement, I'd find someone to do him at any time! ”
The underworld is the underworld! Fang Ruohai sighed secretly, in his opinion, the underworld is definitely not on the table. If he didn't have the same enemies as these two people, he would never have any cooperation with Wang Yu.
If you want to kill Xiao Ran, you first asked the mysterious bodyguard next to him, I don't even know this truth, and I still come out to mix? Wang Yu saw Wang Minggui's helpless look and Fang Ruohai's faint mockery, so he remembered the mysterious bodyguard beside Xiao Ran, but he didn't blush.
Thinking of the humiliation of his sister, Fang Ruohai's irrepressible anger swelled up. Finally suppressing his emotions, he looked up at the famous American who was drinking on the side and asked, "Tony, what do you think will happen in Hong Kong stocks recently?" ”
"Obviously, now that the dealer has entered the market, the Xiao Ran you said definitely doesn't have such strength." Tony is also very thin, I don't know if all the players are like this, and said proudly: "However, if only the dealer is working, I believe it will only take half a month to achieve the goal!" I think the other party may be a little worse than me! ”
Fang Ruohai has always had the modest habits of the Chinese, so he doesn't like this boastful American very much. However, he believed in this American, because in the United States, this handicap player is definitely the first-class, and has always had the nickname "Golden Finger".
Fang Ruohai quickly came to a judgment, if Xiao Ran just wanted to take advantage of the east wind to get a vote, then apart from this opportunity, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to play Xiao Ran in the short term. Therefore, he said slowly with a serious expression: "This battle is inevitable!" ”
"How much money do the three of Fang Ruohai have?"
This is Xiao Ran's latest question, Wei Dongling was prepared in advance, and he opened his mouth and came: "Wang Yu has a net worth of about 40 million, if you look at his always discord with the underworld, it is difficult to have underworld funds to join!" Wang Minggui is engaged in manufacturing and has a net worth of about 350 million. As for Fang Ruohai, we don't know anything! ”
Tomorrow is the first day of October, and from tomorrow, Xiao Ran will personally sit and watch this war, which may take half a month. Until then, any preparation is valid. After pondering for a moment, he quickly came up with an answer: "Wang Yu is not the kind of person who dares to take risks, I believe that Fang Ruohai is mainly relying on his power, and his financial resources can be ignored." ”
"As for Wang Minggui, he has an undying enmity with me, and this time according to his businessman's surname, he may not be able to invest all of them. However, I believe that he will mobilize as much liquidity as possible at his disposal! According to you, his company has about fifty or sixty million liquidity, which means that he will most likely invest thirty million! ”
Rong Xiaoyi frowned and made a summary for Xiao Ran: "In this way, it seems that Fang Ruohai is the main one who enters the market this time, but how much money does he have?" If we don't figure this out, we're likely to fail miserably. ”
After browsing the Fang family report sent by Guan Xin, Xiao Ran touched his nose. The Fang family has a net worth of one billion US dollars, which is a very large number, and the Fang family's assets in the industry are not particularly large, accounting for more than seventy percent. This means that the Fang family has quite a lot of liquidity, the question is, how much does Fang Ruohai have in his hands?
"Personally, I don't think it's a big problem, you may not know how much money the dealer has invested in!" Fang Xiaoqiang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "The dealer is now making seven stocks, but I believe that the other party will definitely choose the most suitable three as the target of the final blow." Therefore, according to this, the dealer has at least one billion, and it is difficult for Fang Ruohai to come up with so much money with his personal strength! ”
But Xiao Ran still faintly felt that something was wrong, as for what was wrong, he didn't know. Turned around and glanced at Fang Xiaoqiang, held back a smile and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoqiang, you introduce the situation to us!" ”
"I really don't understand, I'm not a famous trader, why did you ask me to make such a big sum of money!" Fang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed with an interesting look, looking at Xiao Ran's eyes, as if Xiao Ran was Bole: "The time chosen by the dealer is very clever, and the current securities market is a little unstable, and it has been rising before entering the market." ”
"If the dealer indulges it again, I guess it will start moving the day after tomorrow!" Fang Xiaoqiang's current expression is simply treating the securities as his wife, which is creepy: "I think, for the sake of insurance, I can try to sell the stocks in my hand tomorrow." If the other side wins them all, it means that they are nervous about the overall situation and don't care about us hitchhiking, so that they can rest assured in the next battle. ”
Sending Wei Dongling and Guan Xin to the downstairs of Xiaoyaowo, Wei Dongling finally couldn't help but ask: "Ah Ran, do you really plan to fight Fang Ruohai hand-to-hand?" Is it worth it? In fact, we can develop the company slowly, with the current results, coupled with your vision, I think it won't take long to get enough funds for development! ”
"There's no time!" Xiao Ran could only answer this sentence lightly. Hollywood's seven major studios officially started in the 80s, and earlier this year Samsung merged with Columbia, and was subsequently acquired by Coca-Cola.
In 1989, Hollywood's big brother Warner merged with Time Inc. to form Time Warner. And it was in the same year that Sony spent 3.4 billion to buy Coca-Cola in the hands of Coca-Cola, which made Coca-Cola more than triple its profits in two years.
In the early 80s, MGM, one of the seven major companies, went bankrupt for its subsidiary Lianyi to produce the super-luxurious production "Gate of Heaven", which led to the collapse of MGM until it was acquired by Sony in 2004.
The other major film companies also underwent restructuring and merger to reintegrate in the 90s. Without these mergers and acquisitions to inject new blood into the seven major film companies, I am afraid that they may not be able to dominate global films.
If Phantom wants to become a global film company, it will have to do everything before Warner-Times merges and Sony makes acquisitions. When the scale reaches a certain level, it is crucial to spin off other departments and make the Phantom the parent company mainly responsible for issuance and financing.
Consider the price of Sony's acquisition of Colombia two years later, $3.4 billion. This is really a terrifying number, at least for Xiao Ran, it is definitely a number that cannot be looked at for a few years.
In order to make the first leap, there must be enough funds to transform the Phantom Company into a publishing company, and this stock market crash is a great opportunity. Xiao Ran will never let go of this opportunity, unless he plans to spend a few more years slowly falling behind Hollywood.
Guan Xin glanced at Xiao Ran with a slight smile, he admired Xiao Ran's courage very much, and said slowly: "We only have 110 million funds now, I'm afraid it's not enough." Why don't you find someone else to work with? ”
"No, you know we're hitchhiking!" Xiao Ran didn't want to have more funds to control everything, but he shook his head and said: "However, if we have too much money, it will definitely make the dealer panic, and I am afraid that we will become our opponents at that time!" ”
"That's it, the company is yours, you decide!" Don't look at Wei Dongling's tone as if he was helpless, but he was still very excited, after all, such a big battle was not something that ordinary people could encounter, and he also had a wonderful confidence in Xiao Ran.
"Don't worry, we're still young, and if we lose, we still have a chance to make a comeback!" Xiao Ran didn't know that what he said was a little ominous, but he was like that. Before doing anything, you have to think about not only what will happen if you win, but also what will happen if you lose, which is prudence.
Seeing the two of them return to the free nest, Xiao Ran's heart thumped. This kind of thing, he can't help but not be nervous, he used to be just an ordinary person, but now he can make waves in the stock market with hundreds of millions of yuan. Such a huge contrast experience, even Xiao Ran, who has more experience, can't help but feel a little agitated.
What if it becomes? If you do, you will be able to shorten the distance with Hollywood, and you will have some capital to compete with Hollywood. What if you lose? Defeated, he still has enough capital to make a comeback, but it will be out of reach to compete with Hollywood, and at most he will only help Hong Kong films not to die in 20 years.
He drove straight to Lin Qingxia's house, and he found that he liked to come here more and more, as if he felt uncomfortable every day if he didn't come. Seeing Lin Qingxia happily greeted her, Xiao Ran showed a peaceful smile, gently grabbed her hand and gently attached it to her ear and said, "I miss you very much!" ”
"I miss you so much!" Lin Qingxia replied gently, looking at Xiao Ran's eyes full of love, which made Xiao Ran can't help but hug her for a while.
"I'm not going back today, I'm resting with you, okay?" Xiao Ran was very tired, during this time, he had prepared a lot for this vicious battle, but he was also very tired. Only here can he get a real break: "I'm tired. ”
Lin Qingxia looked at Xiao Ran gently, trying to put her hand on Xiao Ran's head and stroke her hair, this kind of action that was very suitable for her couldn't be used, every time. She naturally didn't know that Xiao Ran's actual age was a little bit older than her, and Xiao Ran's performance in Pingyu was gradually becoming old, and this kind of action like treating her little brother was naturally impossible to make.
She stood up, went to pour a glass of water for Xiao Ran, and said with concern: "Take a break, don't be so tired, you see that your beard hasn't been shaved much!" With no one to take care of you these days, you're so miserable. ”
Xiao Ran took a sip of water, and the cold water finally calmed his mood. I saw him staring at Lin Qingxia with a smile and saying, "That's right, so, I want to find someone to take care of me, I don't know if Sister Lin is willing!" ”
Lin Qingxia was suddenly a little embarrassed by Xiao Ran's teasing words, and after thinking about it, she said worriedly: "Are you going to go to the securities market in person?" No matter where you go, you will definitely have no one to take care of you for a while in the future, so it is better for me to accompany you! ”
"No!" Xiao Ran shook his head, touched his nose again and refused: "I think, this kind of scene is not suitable for you, if you watch too much, I am afraid that it will increase your aging!" ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help touching his beard, in fact, he was not a beard or anything like that, just two strands on his lips. Xiao Ran has always wanted to keep a mustache, which is the kind of mustache of Liu Hua who played Ding Li in "New Shanghai Beach", and he felt that kind of beard was very suitable for him.
Of course, the most important reason is that he thinks that with these two mustaches, he can make his now twenty-four-year-old look a little more mature. It seems that she is going to match Lin Qingxia a little bit, and even if it is exposed in the future, there will be less negative public opinion.
Lin Qingxia didn't expect Xiao Ran to be so deliberate in creating a reasonable surname for the future of the two, if she knew, she would definitely be so excited. I think when Liang Qin thought about her like this, I'm afraid that only Xiao Ran can treat her wholeheartedly like this.
The next day, Xiao Ran took care of everything, and before leaving, he found that Lin Qingxia handed him a bag. When I opened it, it was full of daily necessities, Xiao Ran was moved, and gently hugged her and said, "Qingxia, just for you, I must win this battle!" ”
The behind-the-scenes headquarters is not far from the stock market, and a number of telephones have been set up here in the early days. Wei Dongling thought it through, for fear that the other party would destroy the phone line like in the film "Ghost Horse Double Star", and even bought two mobile phones.
Xiao Ran glanced at the brick-like mobile phone on the table, he never bought this because he couldn't get used to the feeling of returning to the primitive society. However, now he still can't help but be ready to take advantage of it.
There are only Xiao Ran and Fang Xiaoqiang in the headquarters, and there are still newcomers. Rong Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang went to the exchange in person with a few experts, which definitely needed someone on the spot to carry it out.
Xiao Ran's advantage is that he clearly knows the specific falling and rising numbers of the three days, and on the surface, it seems that he is basically undefeated. However, what advantages did Fang Ruohai have, in addition to rejecting Xiao Ran's thoughts, what other advantages drove him to decide to enter the field and fight Xiao Ran?
A war without gunpowder is about to begin, and this is a war that only those who have the last laugh can win, and every victory or defeat in the middle cannot determine the final winner or loser......
*****
What is the first round of releases? It is the first round of screenings after the filming of the film is completed. And many times, a film is not exactly released after such a round, and some films are re-released for various reasons, or after a few years, it is not the first round of releases, such as "ET" was re-screened a few years ago. The box office figures and film figures released by the Hong Kong Film Society every year are calculated based on the first round of films. Therefore, the first round of release rights and all release rights are very different.
Note: Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the evening, we will meet at Sanjiang Pavilion. Hehe!
In addition, I recommend the new work "Rebellion" by the famous author A San Slender Horse,
;
