"Mr. Xiao, what did you gain from this trip to Hollywood?" That's a question from a reporter from Impact magazine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the airport, and as soon as Xiao Ran got off the plane, at least dozens of reporters rushed in, and cameras and microphones reached out to him. Xiao Ran smiled happily: "Let's not talk about the harvest, but I have made some friends!" ”

"But isn't Murdoch an obstacle in the Phantom Group's path?" The same Influence magazine is asking, and it doesn't seem to give this Mr. Xiao face at all: "And the Phantom Group is also the strongest competitor of Murdoch News Corp. in Europe, how can it be a friend!" ”

"It's a competitor in business, but you can still be friends in private!" Xiao Ran didn't feel annoyed at all, this is freedom of the press, what he needs is such a reporter who is not afraid of power: "Don't you know about the dispute between Lei Shidong and Barry a few days ago? They're friends just as well. ”

"Mr. Xiao, you must already know about the largest anti-crime operation in history launched by the Hong Kong police the day before yesterday, and what do you think about it!" Another reporter asked loudly, and the audience was silent almost instantly, all staring at the reporter.

Xiao Ran knows very well that this question is really clever enough, and what does the godfather of the underworld think about the police's anti-crime operation? It's better to ask Lord Yama how the dead word is written. But Xiao Ran's composure is no longer ordinary, and he still maintains a hearty smile: "What media is this from?" ”

"I'm a reporter for East Weekly!" The guy replied loudly and arrogantly, and the scene was full of shocks, and East Week was notorious in the entertainment industry.

"East Weekly? Is it the magazine that wrote Wei Dongling as a love with the same surname? Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing out loud, this magazine once suspected that Wei Dongling was in love with the same surname, implying that Xiao Ran was in love with the same surname, which has become a laughing stock in the world and has become a shameful thing for all Hong Kong reporters. When Xiao Ran mentioned this, the reporter was immediately ashamed.

"I'm willing to answer your question, but I hope you don't make up for the fact that I'm an alien in my answer!" Xiao Ran smiled, and said a few words of extremely spicy sarcasm: "For your views on the anti-gang operation, you should ask the Commissioner of Police or the Secretary for Security, or maybe the Hong Kong Governor." From my point of view, anti-gang crime is naturally a good thing, the public needs a stable environment, and we businessmen also need a stable environment! ”

The reporter was obviously so sarcastic by Xiao Ran's words that he didn't have the courage to ask again, and the reporter of Power Magazine took the opportunity to remind Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, you just got off the plane, maybe you don't know that the political axe is concocting an anti-monopoly law, and you refuse to issue ATV's business license!" What do you think of these. ”

This news made Xiao Ran's fingers flick a few times, his eyebrows were raised even higher, and his heart fluctuated greatly, but he still smiled quietly on the surface and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, I think it will be difficult for me to give a definite answer before I discuss with Mr. Wei!" ”

After leaving the airport and getting into the car, the monkey couldn't help but scolded angrily: "This hellish Hong Kong British political axe, actually wants to play yin again!" Brother Ran, don't give them face again this time! ”

Xiao Ran nodded to them, and he fell into deep thought. The reporter asked Wei Dongling to arrange this matter, so as to spread the news of his return throughout Hong Kong within the last period of time. He wants to announce to the Hong Kong British political axe and the underworld that he is Xiao Ran and is back!

Before he got on the plane, he didn't know about those two things, so it can be seen that the news came out within twelve hours. What the content of the anti-monopoly law is, Xiao Ran is still unclear. However, if it does not have a license, then ATV will lose its qualification to operate the television industry, which is obviously a major decision of the British government in Hong Kong.

It's an eventful time, but it's funny how quickly so many things happened in less than 20 days after leaving Hong Kong. At least that's what Xiao Ran thinks, treating challenges as fun, which seems to be the only thing he can do.

He thought it was funny, but Wei Dongling was having a headache, a very headache, and now all this came too suddenly. However, it seems that it is not without warning, and the opening of Hongguo is a lesson from the past. To blame, one can only blame them for not making a detailed and surname-specific plan in this regard.

Coming to the headquarters building, Xiao Ran smiled lightly and signaled to the others to stop, and quietly pushed the door open. But seeing Wei Dongling shrinking in the sofa in distress, quietly stepped forward, and suddenly shouted, Wei Dongling suddenly jumped up in fright, and when he saw that it was Xiao Ran, he gave him a punch: "Good boy, you went to Hollywood to have a good time, but you left me here to suffer, it's really yours!" ”

"I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and your fists seem to be a lot weaker!" Xiao Ran laughed and sat down on the sofa, looked at Wei Dongling opposite and said: "It's not easy in Hollywood, if it weren't for our full preparation, I'm afraid that we would have to accept the fact of losing money now!" ”

Wei Dongling sighed, leaned back on the sofa and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know who is provoking whom, things are actually endless." Now the licenses of the three TV stations under the ATV Group in Hong Kong have been suspended, which is really troublesome. If you don't have any other way, then we will have to fight the lawsuit with the Hong Kong political axe to the end! ”

Xiao Ran's face gradually became solemn, at first he thought that it was just ATV's license plate that was stopped, but now he knows that the entire ATV has been stopped. At present, in addition to the original ATV, the ATV Group has also created a cable TV and a satellite TV purchased by Li Chaoren. Sanma does not dare to say that it is a monopoly, but it is certainly an absolute hegemon.

"What is the reason?" Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "You can't refuse to send it because there is no reason!" ”

Wei Dongling was even more depressed, what bullshit reason, he asked the lawyer, he can definitely sue the Hong Kong political axe. The problem was the anti-monopoly law, which was unprecedentedly efficient in Hong Kong's Department of Justice, and a draft was quickly drafted. Through the relationship, Wei Dongling quickly learned that this so-called draft was aimed at the phantom at all.

There is no way to monopolize the market of movies, this is very artistic, and no one can be sure what can make money ironclad. Therefore, the anti-monopoly law of the film industry is to separate the theater chain and the distribution company like the United States, and in this sense, it is absolutely reasonable.

Just like the previous Golden Harvest, it is precisely because of the control of the theater chain. Therefore, only your own films will be released on the prime time, and the worst schedule will be scheduled for other companies' films. And the Phantom is obviously much more free and open, as long as the film is good enough, no matter what company's film, it will be rehearsed.

Xiao Ran had also worried about antitrust laws before, but at present, except for the United States, most other countries and regions do not have antitrust laws for the film industry. Just kidding, the film industry in those countries can't get up, what's the opposite.

In Hong Kong, Xiao Ran has the impression that there should be no anti-monopoly law for the film industry. If there really is such a law, then the cinema chain will definitely not be able to create a film company, at least not have a large proportion of equity in the film company. In Xiao Ran's impression, Yonggao Cinema Line once produced movies, and the film company was called Yonggao. In this way, it can be established that there is no such law.

And now this thing suddenly popped up, it's a little too ridiculous. It's just that Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling are very clear that there should indeed be an anti-monopoly law, and the existence of the four giants is definitely a monopoly. Not even mentioning the other three companies, the Phantom alone has already achieved a monopoly.

However, this is only a monopoly in the pattern. And in fact? Tianluo has entered Yonggao Cinema Line and has a controlling stake, which is mainly about making money, and does not care which company's drama it is. The fact that there is a monopoly but no monopolistic behavior is also strong evidence of a counterattack in a sense.

After pondering for a moment, and quickly turning countless thoughts in his mind, Xiao Ran quickly sorted out his chaotic thoughts, looked up at Wei Dongling, who was taking wine, and said: "I think, they can only embarrass us for a while, and it is impossible to cancel it, I believe it is a method they use to hold us back." ”

"What about antitrust laws? I think you also think about why the British government in Hong Kong is preparing for the anti-monopoly law at this time! Wei Dongling handed Xiao Ran a glass of water and continued: "A few days ago, its film company just announced that it would invest in 500 theaters in the mainland, and now they are immediately tossing this method, and the intention should be obvious. ”

Xiao Ran nodded, Hong Kong Ying's choice of time was simply wonderful, he even admired Patten a little, he believed that only a politician like Patten could come up with such a vicious move.

If the anti-monopoly law is passed, it means that the Phantom's investment in the theater has completely failed, and it will be forcibly reduced at that time. And this may not be difficult to stop them, just need to spin off the film company, and separate the control of the local cinema chain, and then you can also control the cinema chain in other countries and regions.

It's just that in this way, the Phantom loses control of the local theater chain, which is definitely not a big trouble. Xiao Ran hopes to be able to drag this thing until it gets the mainland market, and if it can be delayed until it returns, it will be great. At that time, as long as it is properly controlled, it will be difficult for this hellish anti-monopoly law to emerge within 20 years.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything in the anti-monopoly law!" Xiao Ran's heart moved, and he quickly came up with a solution: "If they dare to ask for anti-monopoly in the film industry, then Hong Kong Telecom, the absolute monopolist, will have to accept the same fate, and I'll see what Patten will do to explain to the British Great Eastern Company!" ”

Wei Dongling smiled bitterly: "Didn't you think of it?" However, movies are different from telecommunications, and Patten hired a few American lawyers as a reference, if the British government in Hong Kong insists on doing it, then we have to ......"

Xiao Ran smiled indifferently and shook his fingers slightly: "Before I came, I had already asked Master to start moving in the UK." Under the guidance of the British media and opposition parties under our control, it is believed that it will not be long before the eyes of Britain and the world will be drawn here. ”

"It's decided!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly and patted Wei Dongling's shoulder: "Let's do all the preparatory work first, I will also prepare my work, and then we will make trouble together, I will see how long Patten can stay in this position!" ”

Wei Dongling obviously understood what Xiao Ran wanted to do, stood up and shrugged his shoulders to express great helplessness: "Go, go, go, I feel like your slave, solve this matter, if you don't give me a raise, then you ...... Hey! ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, this kid, Xiao Ran didn't know how many times he planned to distribute the equity to him again, but this kid still refused, and said that he was already a billionaire and didn't covet that money. But now, he is still arguing over tens of millions of salaries, and he can't disagree.

After leaving the company, Xiao Ran motioned for the monkey to go to the Film Association, and then Huang Ling took the phone and called Lin Qingxia to ask her to pay attention to safety. Only then did he call the new chairman of the Film Association and ask him to summon the bosses of all the film companies in Hong Kong to the Regent Hotel for a meeting within half an hour.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran dialed a number, and Xiang Qiang's voice came out of it. He just said softly: "Ah Qiang, I'm back!" ”

Syllable! Xiang Qiang lost his mind, trembling slightly, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground. Seeing him lose his temper like this, the younger brother Xiang Sheng began to feel bad, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiang Qiang's face gradually turned pale, and he licked his tongue a few times, and then he tried to restrain his emotions and said slowly, but his voice was dry as if he had been thirsty for a long time: "Brother Ran, he's back!" ”

"Brother Ran, he ...... Is he really back? Jiaolong asked in a trembling voice, hoping that this was his hallucination. However, the results disappointed him.

Brother Ran is back! In less than half an hour, the news spread quickly through the road with convenient communication tools. Because Xiao Ran hasn't been in contact with the underworld for a long time, it turns out that many newcomers don't know who Brother Ran is.

And the old man sternly warned the new man like this: "Brother Ran is Brother Ran, he is not on the road." However, if he wants you to die, it is Shangyanjing to protect you. As long as he says a word, the heads of the three major societies will be replaced at any time! ”

"Wow, isn't that exaggerated!" This is the new saying of the new human beings: "If it is not in the Tao, how can there be such power." Ah, I remembered, is he the legendary godfather of the underworld, but isn't that godfather surnamed Guan and surnamed Liang? ”

"You know a piece of, I'm too lazy to tell you!" The old man always scolded such a newcomer who didn't know the rules. But now, they don't have the spirit to scold, because Brother Ran is back, and I'm afraid that there will be another storm on the road.

And what is Liang Kun doing? He was babbling and singing, and he also knew the news of Xiao Ran's return, and even made an extremely bold decision. However, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms, his heart beat so violently that his whole body was as wet as if he had just run twenty kilometers.

And on Xiao Ran's way to the Regent Hotel, by the window of one of the hotels, there was a calm guy. His eyes were glued to the sight, waiting for a car to appear......
