Chapter 187: Profiteering Industry

Let it go! Xiao Ran smiled bitterly in his heart, there are many problems that the phantom still needs to face, and piracy is really a damn problem. Chen Jiale of Tian Lai took a deep breath, Tian Lai was still far from Tian Lai the year before last, but since he got a few singers of the new art treasure, he began to raise his eyebrows.

"At present, there are 32 signed singers under Ethereal, of which six are non-Chinese singers!" Of course, Chan Ka Lok knows very well that the so-called 32 singers are just an illusion, perhaps more than a reserve force: "Judging from the overseas sales of record sales, Hong Kong currently has 15% of the market in Southeast Asia, while Tian Lai has about 30%!" ”

Of course, no one thinks that Chan Ka-lok refers to the fact that Tian Lai has 30% of the market in the overseas record market, but refers to the market share of Hong Kong records in other countries. This is understandable, Hong Kong pop music began to become popular and reached the peak, and then the four kings took over the baton, which pushed to the ** of idol charm.

Because of the Phantom's starlight project, Liu Hua and Zhang Guorong, opera singers, have gradually become popular idols in Southeast Asia, and Tian Lai still can't beat the British Polygram locally, as well as the local Huaxing and Warner. However, in the Southeast Asian market, it is slightly better.

The current nature is remarkable, in addition to Guo Fucheng and Li Ming, two of the four heavenly kings who are currently being praised are all in nature. Of course, Zhang Guorong also had the idea of retiring, which made Chen Jiale very depressed for a while. Xiao Ran felt that this was a good thing, work less, make Zhang Guorong happier, and avoid future tragedies.

"Last year, Ethereal's profit mainly came from record sales, but it has a certain amount of income in concerts and other aspects." Chen Jiale happily announced his achievements: "Last year, excluding all expenses, a total profit of 110 million yuan, I believe that under this year's Starlight Plan, there will be a greater breakthrough!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, this result was simply beyond his expectations, originally in his impression, more than ten years later, most record companies in Hong Kong are losing money and making money. He founded Tian Lai just to find a suitable distribution channel for film music and songs, but he didn't expect to have such a result, which is really unexpected.

"After ATV got a few ideas from Mr. Xiao in the second half of last year, the ratings rose a lot, beating TVB's programs many times." Li Guangli's expression was not very good, because he found that the performance of ATV was far worse than that of other subsidiaries: "Excluding all aspects of expenses, a total profit of 90 million!" ”

The main source of revenue for TV stations is advertising, as ATVs have successively opened up the door to satellite carriers in parts of Southeast Asia, and have added several channels in corresponding languages, which is a good start.

Bai Pengfei of Shuxiang Media is very depressed, because Shuxiang's results are not very good: "At present, Shuxiang controls a newspaper, three magazines, and a publishing house. Because "Influence" is extremely popular in the outside world, we have distributed it and "Power" on a large scale, and decided to start a new weekly next year, with a profit of 60 million last year! ”

Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling both knew very well that ATV and Shuxiang's results were not bad, after all, Shuxiang spent a lot last year to discover those talents designated by Xiao Ran. ATV also started to exert its strength in the second half of the year, perhaps because it was afraid of Xiao Ran, so it did not immediately make a move to ATV.

Liao Jingping threw the information in his hand on the table, stood up and glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "The annual box office of the film is 970 million!" Remove all aspects of expenses and make a profit of 200 million! ”

Don't think that the film company only has more than 60 local theaters, and don't forget that Taiwan, South Korea and France all have movie theaters, so that the number is already a lot.

Because the star company and the miracle company were only spun off in the second half of the year, there must be no deals, not to mention. Next is motivation, Tang Yan is not a very serious person, on such an occasion, he said with a smile: "Last year, the power investment fund made a total profit of 1.1 billion US dollars on karaoke, that is, 8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is expected to make a profit of $2 billion this year, and the current profit in other areas is only $250 million! ”

Hiss! The audience could only hear the sound of gasp in this area, and the Phantom has a total of fourteen subsidiaries (including four such as Dolby and Light and Magic). However, the combined profitability of these 14 subsidiaries is definitely not as high as the profitability, which is no wonder everyone is extremely surprised.

Although everyone knows that karaoke is selling very well now, and has even started to land in Hong Kong. However, no one has calculated it specifically, and of course it is not clear the exact number. Now that Tang Yan is smiling and grinning, isn't it like he's seen a ghost.

It's really a terrifying number, because Xiao Ran's correct investment in karaoke led to a total profit of 13.2 billion for the whole year. Xiao Ran was almost dizzy, wouldn't this be too fast.

The parties involved are surprised to this point, how can they not be shocked if they are other people. Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, who was also shocked, glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile. At the beginning, he proposed to let Yang Qi and Pan Disheng become shareholders, but the two of them didn't do it, and now I am afraid that my intestines are green.

However, although the profit is HK$13.2 billion, we must not forget the expenses in various aspects. The administrative expenses of the headquarters are not much, and the key lies in the computer department, which spent 2 billion yuan last year. And, don't forget, Light & Magic and Skywalker, as well as Pixar, were all acquired for a profit, and they also spent billions of Hong Kong dollars.

In any case, the Phantom did get the most critical development and expansion in 1989, not in Southeast Asia or Europe, but on the four companies of Light and Magic. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Ran is even willing to pay the profits of last year, as long as he can get these four companies.

However, with the current strength of the Phantom, it may not be difficult to acquire a certain Hollywood company. Not long after, when all the magazines in Hong Kong were busy calculating the net worth of the rich, Forbes rushed to the front.

It's a pity that Forbes is still slower than Power, and Xiao Ran accepted the magazine's wealth calculations for the first time. Phantom Group has a total of 5 billion liquidity, and the power is also 1 billion, plus the liquidity of other subsidiaries, the total is more than 7 billion, which alone has exceeded last year's market value.

This time, the valuation of power exceeded that of the head office, and the market value of karaoke alone was as high as 3 billion US dollars, that is, 24 billion Hong Kong dollars. The Phantom and all of its subsidiaries together do not reach such a market capitalization, but because the Phantom controls the Dell stock, which is already worth six billion, and there are other stocks, it adds up to about nine billion. Combined with the value of other subsidiaries, it is at least more than 5 billion.

I have to admit that it is really a very correct and fortunate thing to get karaoke this time, and in just this year, the market value of the Phantom Company has risen from 7 billion last year to 45 billion Hong Kong dollars this year. Fang Xiaoqiang and Wei Dongling, who each took 5% of the shares, in just three years, their own families soared to more than 2 billion, and they immediately climbed into the ranks of the top five diamond kings.

What's more interesting is that Wei Dongling, with the highest salary this year, coupled with the increase in equity, has become the world's working emperor with an annual income of as much as 1.8 billion. This figure is simply shocking to the whole of Hong Kong and the world, you must know that this is the first time that the income of a part-time job has exceeded 100 million US dollars. And Wei Dongling's income simply surpassed that of the American working emperor by 1.1 billion, which caused him a lot of trouble at this time.

Only Xiao Ran smiled sinisterly, so that Adong would have no way to blackmail him. However, when Wei Dongling reminded him of his net worth, Xiao Ran was stunned, because if it was calculated according to his net worth, it seemed that he was blackmailed as the most natural thing.

The industry under Xiao Ran's personal name does not account for much of the total net worth, after all, Microsoft has not taken off yet. But even so, his net worth is still as high as 42 billion, and he is among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong in one fell swoop. Not only that, but he is also ranked 86th in the world's richest people in the latest Forbes list.

This gave Xiao Ran a headache, first of all, Wei Dongling's blackmail was very depressed, and secondly, he was afraid of being kidnapped. Fortunately, there is sunshine and monkeys here, and he is not afraid. Besides, he doesn't believe that anyone in Hong Kong dares to touch him, unless that guy is not a local.

In the power ranking of "Power" in the entertainment industry, although Xiao Ran did not release half of the film last year, it was still ranked first. However, it fell to second place in terms of annual influence, and the first place was Chen Kexin, who directed "People and Ghosts". Of course, this magazine is not a net worth, but a judge of the influence and power of the people in front of and behind the scenes of the year. So Xiao Ran didn't have a film last year, and it was already very good that he could still be listed in second place.

However, in the ranking of Hong Kong's personality power, Xiao Ran ranked tenth. This is naturally because his every move is related to the changes in the film market in Southeast Asia, and this is the real ranking of the big guys.

In short, Xiao Ran hates this so-called ranking now. Now Wei Dongling is richer and more stingy, every time Xiao Ran is on any ranking, he has to accept the fate of being blackmailed, which is really unfortunate.

However, Xiao Ran didn't care about this matter now, as soon as he returned home, he was entangled to death by his little sister. Xiao Han kept holding Xiao Ran, and he couldn't wait to be comfortable hanging on Xiao Ran like a koala: "Brother, I want to be a star!" ”

"You're still young, not suitable, it's better to study hard and help me take care of the company in the future!" Xiao Ran felt that he was speaking completely with a clear conscience, strictly speaking, first, he didn't think that Xiao Han could do this job. Don't talk about such a big group, just hand over a small company to Xiao Han to take care of, I'm afraid it will be a mess.

Second, Xiao Han's girl actually looks good, of course, this is in the eyes of Xiao Ran, a fool who has Lin Qingxia. If it is someone else, even a fool can see that Xiao Ran is already good-looking, and his sister Xiao Han is even more unique, and has a very lively taste.

"I'm ten years old, and I'm still ...... young" Xiao Han is more depressed than Xiao Ran, who is not pursuing her in school now, but her brother still treats her as a little girl: "If you don't agree, I'll tell my sister-in-law!" ”

"It's useless!" Xiao Ran smiled, Lin Qingxia usually doesn't interfere in the company's affairs, and of course she doesn't pay attention to Xiao Han: "Besides, you're so young now." It's better to wait until you're done with college! ”

"Ah Ran, you're back!" Liang Wenhui smiled when she saw her son, her eyes narrowed, and she beckoned to her son: "Come here, try the soup I made for you!" ”

Xiao Ran helplessly dragged Xiao Han, who had been dragging his clothes, to his mother, raised his head according to the spoon and took a sip, and immediately wanted his mother to give him a thumbs up. In fact, he knew, since his parents knew that the phantom was getting bigger and bigger, they were worried that Xiao Ran was overworked, so they often boiled soup for him to drink, wanting him to make up for his body.

"Mom, look at Xiao Han......" Xiao Ran really has no tricks for this sister, he is wondering if Li Chaoren is like this to his son at home, it's really interesting: "Whether you agree or disagree, I'm about to entangle her to death!" ”

"Still don't want it!" Mom thought about it for a while, she was not very opposed to Xiao Han entering the entertainment industry. I used to oppose it because there were several quite sensational "Silver Rooster Cases" in the entertainment industry in the early eighties, so I can't believe it. Now that Xiao Ran has her current status, she is not worried that Xiao Han will end up like that, but she doesn't know what her husband thinks.

"Now that your company is doing so big, your dad's company is getting bigger and bigger with your investment. We don't have any relatives in our family, if Xiao Han enters the entertainment industry in the future, who will take over! "It's still my mother who thinks about it so quickly, and she thinks of the family business so quickly!

If technically allowed, Xiao Ran would definitely shed a few drops of sweat to make sense. It's just that he doesn't seem to have the special functions in the comics, so he only raised his eyebrows and found a place to sit down: "Mom, I'm only in my twenties, as for thinking about this so quickly?" ”

"It's just ......" Xiao Han saw that his brother finally let go of his mouth to help him speak, so he pounced on Xiao Ran with a smile and said, "I know that my brother is the best for me!" ”

Xiao Ran was very depressed, Xiao Han is not small now, and there is a place where it should be. Although he is not as exaggerated as before, he still doesn't care about his age, which makes him not depressed. But when my mother saw Xiao Ran's expression, she scolded: "Xiaohan, don't be like this, you are such a big person!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiao Ran saw Xiao Han leave him with a holding face, and hurriedly laughed: "That's it, if Dad agrees, then Xiaohan will let her enter the entertainment industry!" ”

It's really said that Cao Ying Cao Ying arrived, and my father pushed open the door and came in to see the whole family...... No, there is still one Lin Qingxia left, all looking at him, slightly stunned, then saw Xiao Han running in front of him, and said with an almost pleading look: "Dad, I want to act and sing, let me go, okay!" ”

"Go ask your brother, and, Ah Ran, wait a moment for dinner, let's talk!" Dad is always so cool, Xiao Ran is so impressed. He was even thinking that maybe he could get his dad to play the ghost in "Gunfire", and maybe he might be able to win an award.

"Great!" Xiao Han shouted happily, since his father said this, it was equivalent to agreeing. As soon as her eyes stayed on Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran waved her hand again and again, for fear that she would pounce again, and said: "If you want to sing and act, you have to follow my rules, and if you don't follow the rules, you will only be out, do you understand?" ”

"I don't understand, but I know you're asking me to listen to you, don't worry, I've always listened to you!" Xiao Han stood in place with a smile and shouted a few words at Xiao Ran, this is a fact, when Xiao Han had no contradiction with Xiao Ran, he did listen to Xiao Ran's words more, so that Xiao Ran didn't know what he had done before to make his sister worship him so much.

"Very good, then you have to figure it out, in the entertainment industry, you are absolutely not allowed to say that it is my sister, let alone bullying." It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want to help Xiao Han, he plans to let Xiao Han enter the list of next year's Starlight Project, but if he uses Xiao Han's surname, he will definitely hype about it.

It doesn't matter, Xiao Ran's sister is in the circle, if Xiao Ran doesn't help, it will be strange. The problem is that with this publicity, I am afraid that Xiao Han will not be able to distinguish who is the real friend, and he will definitely suffer in the circle: "In short, if you want to be popular, I will make you popular." But the same should be read in the book! If you can't graduate from college, then you can do whatever you want! ”

Xiao Han naturally nodded, how could he care so much. This is a benefit that she got after fighting with her family for several years, and if she didn't take the opportunity to agree, would she have to wait for her family to regret it?

After eating, Xiao Ran and Xiao Shaohao sat in the living room, Xiao Ran was very awkward, secretly wondering if such a scene would be a little serious. Xiao Shaohao sighed heavily, which surprised Xiao Ran, he had never seen his father like this, no matter how bitter he was.

"Mingxuan Real Estate almost went bankrupt today!" Xiao Shaohao closed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of pain in his expression: "This is what happened today!" ”
