As soon as the plan to acquire Hong Kong's retail cinema chain was confirmed, Wang Xiaohu immediately put it into action, because there was too little time left for him. [No pop-up novel network]

The acquisition of cinemas is not an easy thing, Hong Kong films have tended to flourish as a whole since entering the Bruce Lee era, so that many filmmakers see the benefits and have set up joint ventures to form film and television companies, but they seem so small in front of the two mountains of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. Retail cinemas are also trying to survive in the gap between the two giants, and big productions will not patronize their business, so they have to release some small-budget movies to survive. Even so, they will not give up the cinema chain in their hands until they see greater benefits.

Wang Xiaohu is very aware of such rules, so when the plan to acquire theaters is implemented, he starts with those mini theaters. Most of the mini theaters only have dozens of seats, compared with the leading cinema line of Golden Harvest, which often has 600 seats, it is a drop in the ocean, five or six such mini theaters are nested in the same theater, the space seems a little depressing, and there is also a friction between the interests of many mini theaters.

In order to win the battle for the lightning acquisition of theaters, Wang Xiaohu dispatched all the members of Seven Little Fortunes, using Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Heping and others in the film industry over the years, giving them certain checks and rights, so that they can deal with those mini theaters, while he and Bruce Lee will conquer those slightly larger theaters.

The dragon and tiger are tired all day, and those who can be acquired will spend money to buy, and those who cannot be acquired will take a win-win situation of cooperation, and when everyone meets in the evening, 80% of the theaters actually agreed to be acquired, and signed the contract on the spot.

Wang Xiaohu instructed Qi Xiaofu to immediately decorate and integrate these mini theaters, and roughly calculated, the most convenient decoration would cost more than five million, if it weren't for the popularity and time problems accumulated by these theaters, I am afraid that these money would be able to build two luxury theaters, but there is no way at present.

Although the 40 million Hong Kong dollars in his pocket have shrunk by more than 12 million in one day, Wang Xiaohu did not express much distress, and he was reluctant to let the child be a wolf, not to mention that these theaters that are cumbersome in the eyes of others may not be very bad in his own hands.

It takes about a week to renovate the simple decoration, and when the decoration of the theater is completed, it just collides with the time when the cold face tiger is ready to be released, and Wang Xiaohu is still quite satisfied with this result. However, he did not sit idle, and continued to negotiate with Bruce Lee and the remaining 20% of the theaters, since the acquisition and cooperation work has been fully rolled out, it must be done in one go, Hong Kong is actually not big, he believes that such a big move will definitely reach Zou Wenhuai's ears, but what about the past, can you still strangle the master to death?

Two days later, it has entered July 1, 1972, and the two of them were going to Shaw Brothers today to talk to Uncle Shao Liu about leasing theaters, and it takes a certain amount of time to acquire and integrate, if "Ip Man" achieves the most ideal box office income, it is necessary to cooperate with a large company like Shaw Brothers, and leasing theaters is the most practical and feasible means.

"Brother Xiaolong, we are going to negotiate today, not to quarrel, we will do everything possible to facilitate things, maybe at the beginning the Shaw Brothers will have a relatively low score, but we need to endure it, after enduring this time, our spring will come." When he went out, Wang Xiaohu told Bruce Lee again.

Bruce Lee smiled and said, "Brother, I am now very clear about the results I need, so I will fully cooperate with your work." ”

"Hu!"

As soon as the two of them were about to get into the car, they heard a call from the front, but it was Zhao Yazhi who had just come out of the taxi and hurriedly shouted when he saw the two getting into the car.

"Ah Zhi, why are you here?" Wang Xiaohu asked with his arm against the car door.

Zhao Yazhi chuckled and walked over and said, "Ah Hu, do you have time now, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Wang Xiaohu glanced at Bruce Lee when he heard this, and Bruce Lee said with a smile: "It's okay, you go and talk, leave the matter over there to me, you can rest assured!" ”

"Remember what I said: start with the big picture!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and closed the car door.

After Bruce Lee's car left the field of vision, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi came to the house, and after giving Zhao Yazhi a cup of hot tea, he smiled and said, "Ah Zhi, what are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Yazhi obviously didn't think about how to speak, her fingers kept playing with the teacup, biting her lip and hesitating, and her eyebrows were furrowed. Zhao Yazhi's abnormal expression naturally fell in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, he got up and sat down beside the beauty, hugged her in his arms and asked softly, "Ah Zhi, what happened?" ”

Zhao Yazhi leaned her head on Wang Xiaohu's shoulder, feeling a little confused in her mind, and after smelling the faint manly breath on the other party's body at the tip of her nose, she suddenly laughed a little bitterly, and after a long time, she said quietly: "Ah Hu, has your career encountered a big problem?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu lowered his head and smiled: "I have encountered some problems, but it is not a big deal, it will be fine after a while, you don't have to worry about these things." ”

Zhao Yazhi shook up from his arms, seeing that he did not show the slightest expression of discouragement on his face, he was a lot more relieved at the moment, and after looking at each other for a while, Zhao Yazhi bit his lower lip and said: "Aunt Yuan came to me last night, saying that you have been in a stalemate with Jiahe recently, let me come over and persuade you." ”

"Hehe, Yuan Xihua is really scheming." Wang Xiaohu patted Zhao Yazhi's fair face when he heard this, and said: "Ah Zhi, don't get involved in these things, Brother Xiaolong and I have already taken countermeasures, so you can rest at home and wait for the release of "Ip Man". ”

Zhao Yazhi sighed and said: "Ah Hu, you and I are already a couple, how can I not ask when I see you encounter problems." It's just that I don't want to see the relationship between you and Uncle Zou too deadlocked. ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said solemnly: "Ah Zhi, I also understand these things, but Zou Wenhuai implemented a comprehensive snow hiding plan for me this time, so that our hard-working "Ip Man" could not be released, and I made such a decision with Brother Xiaolong in a hurry." ”

Wang Xiaohu said this to get up from the sofa, he smiled and said: "If I guessed correctly, Yuan Xihua saw that my relationship with Zou Wenhuai had deteriorated, so he thought of asking you to come forward to persuade me not to rashly do some risky stupid things, right?" ”

Zhao Yazhi nodded and said, "That's what Aunt Yuan meant. ”

"And what do you think?" Wang Xiaohu looked at her and asked with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi didn't think about it and immediately said: "Although I don't want you to have a fight with Jiahe, I don't want to see you bullied by them, so I support you." ”

"Haha, this is my Wang Xiaohu's woman!" Wang Xiaohu was overjoyed, stepped forward to hold Zhao Yazhi in his arms, and pecked twice on the cherry mouth, very proud!

"Nasty!" Zhao Yazhi angrily picked up his pink fist and pounded Wang Xiaohu's shoulder, but there was no anger in his heart. "By the way, when do you have time to go to my house and sit?"

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned, "Wait a while, I've been busy with the acquisition of theaters recently, and it may be in the middle of the month." ”

"Well, I'll wait for you." Zhao Yazhi smiled sweetly: "Ah Hu, you don't know, my sister and brother want to see you." ”

"Uh, doesn't my father-in-law want to see me?" Wang Xiaohu smiled evilly.

"You've all met once, and they don't want to see you!" Zhao Yazhi wrinkled his nose and grimaced, and said with a smile.

This little couple rarely has time to sit together, so they naturally want to enjoy the world of the two, the two frolicked all morning, at noon, Wang Xiaohu personally cooked and cooked, and Zhao Yazhi helped cook, and the atmosphere was particularly romantic.

In the evening, Bruce Lee drove back, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Hey, Xiaohu, I'm back victorious!" Ha ha! ”

Bruce Lee's voice was very loud, Wang Xiaohu heard it clearly in the living room, he ran out and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Did the negotiations with Shaw go well? ”

"It's going to be smooth, it's just going so well!" Bruce Lee strode over and put his arm around Wang Xiaohu's shoulders and said, "At first, Run Run Shaw didn't seem to have much interest, but after I finished saying what you said, Run Run Shaw's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled, what he explained to Bruce Lee was not unusual, he just explained the stakes in front of him, Shaw Brothers followed in front of Golden Harvest one after another, if you want to regain the position of the boss of Hong Kong films, the only way to do this is to launch better movies, and at present, it seems that the word boutique is only possessed by Concord!

Choosing cooperation is a win-win situation, Run Run Shaw is not a fool, he knows very well how much benefit he has gained after cooperation, he only needs to provide cinemas to get a lot of shares, plus now Concord has Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu These two cash cows, after this cooperation, I believe that the two sides will have a broader space for cooperation.

"In the first week, we will get 60% of the box office revenue, and in the second week, it will be 50%, although there are some snacks loss, but the Shaw Brothers theater chain is a lot more than Golden Harvest, and if you calculate it all together, we will still make a profit!" Bruce Lee patted the sofa and said.

"Hehe, if Uncle Shao knew that we were just using his Shao Clan as a springboard to seek more benefits, he would probably be very depressed!" Wang Xiaohu also said with a smile, yes, cooperating with Shaw Brothers is only his first step plan, and it is also the most appropriate route at present, he must completely grasp those scattered theater chains in his hands
