Chapter 112: Refusal
"Ye Zhiming......"
Lei Juekun pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Does Mr. Li know him?" โ
"Well, there was a one-sided relationship." Li Xuan slid the coffee spoon in his hand and slowly replied.
"Hehe, that guy is also a masterpiece of a generation, but it's a pity that he lost all the games if he took a wrong step." Lei Juekun shook his head and said with a slight mockery: "His colorful fashion company has all been sold, and now there is only one film company left." This guy invested in a few Hong Kong movies before he went bankrupt, and now he is about to sell them to see if he can recover a little capital. If he could, he probably wanted to specialize in this business. โ
Lei Juekun took a sip of tea and continued: "If it weren't for Princess Jin not accepting the bottom gold this time, several of his company's film films would have been thrown away long ago. โ
"Listen to Boss Lei." Li Xuan asked thoughtfully: "Ye Zhiming wants to make a comeback in the film industry?" โ
Lei Juekun shook his head and replied: "Can't get up, Ye Zhiming's management company is okay, specializing in movies?" His eyesight is not enough, and the films that were sold well in the past few years were just blind cats and dead rats. Coupled with the fact that the Taiwanese market has been lost, it is difficult for this guy to get back on his feet. Now he is scraping together the last bit of money in his hand to invest in movies indiscriminately, and when all the money is lost, people should be down-to-earth. โ
"Forehead ......"
Li Xuan was quite speechless at Lei Juekun's explanation, but he had to agree that what he said was reasonable.
"I'm courting Binbin now, and I'm just looking at the source of the seven or eight movies in his hand. The golden princess is crauched, and she lacks everything. Lei Juekun looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "But for Mr. Li, Lei Mou agrees. โ
"Lack of anything?" Li Xuan changed the topic with a smile: "I remember that Ye Zhiming bought a lot of copyrights for Taiwanese films last year?" โ
"Uh......, haha." Lei Juekun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Mr. Li, you really know how to laugh." In addition to the Shaw Brothers cinema chain in Hong Kong, which cinema will release more than 20 movies from one company within a year? That's sending the neck of his own theater chain to someone else's company. โ
This is not false at all.
Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas are one family, so there is naturally nothing wrong with doing so. But for other theaters, this is impossible, which theater can tie its life to an unreliable film company?
"It's Li's negligence, I'm sorry." Li Xuan arched his hand and continued: "But what good can I do if I go to Boss Lei's theater?" You know, Boss Lei's three-plate axe doesn't appeal to me. โ
"Unattractive? What if I said I could level the playing field. Lei Juekun said with a playful smile: "You must know that Mr. Li's company's "Mr. Zombie", if it can be placed in the New Year's file, the results will definitely be doubled, and it is not impossible to win "Senior Brother Out of the Horse". It's a pity ......"
Lei Juekun shook his head and didn't continue, but picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
Li Xuan, who was sitting opposite Lei Juekun, did not hesitate in his heart now, shook the coffee in his hand, and said with a slow smile: "Mr. Lei said this, does it mean that he will not invest in the establishment of a satellite company in the future?" โ
"Forehead ......"
Lei Juekun's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, and he laughed to himself: "How is this possible?" I'm more of a businessman than a theater chain. โ
"Then how does Boss Lei guarantee fairness?" Li Xuan rubbed the coffee cup and asked suspiciously, "Or is Boss Lei planning to take all of our promising small companies into his pocket?" โ
"Haha, Mr. Li is high-minded, and the contemptible person has this intention." Lei Juekun said smugly.
Li Xuan felt that this conversation was becoming more and more interesting, and asked pretendedly: "What does Boss Lei mean, how many shares do you plan to invest?" โ
"Well, Mr. Li, it's too early to say this." Lei Juekun said hesitantly.
"It's a bit early, but, Mr. Lei, your kindness Li can only be understood." Li Xuan shook his head and refused.
โโฆโฆโ
Lei Juekun didn't expect to get such an answer, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" โ
"No, I'm just not used to working for other people." Li Xuan looked at the coffee in front of him and said quietly and truthfully.
Li Xuan doesn't know much about Lei Juekun, but he does know that he is the investor behind the scenes of Xinyicheng and Tsui Hark Studio, and the shares are the majority. This person is a pure businessman, who entered the market when Hong Kong films were booming, made a lot of money, and then disappeared without a trace before the decline of Hong Kong films.
"Mr. Li, I haven't said how many shares I have, how can you think that you are working for others in the future?" Lei Juekun asked with an unkind face.
"As Boss Lei said earlier, you are a businessman." Li Xuan smiled slightly: "I think, this should be enough......"
"Forehead...... Lei Juekun's face was slightly relieved, he raised his teacup and said, "As I said, I am a businessman. Mr. Li, I hope that next time, we can have a chance to cooperate. โ
"Thank you, Boss Lei, I also hope that we can have a time to cooperate." Li Xuan also raised his cup and replied.
Looking at Lei Juekun who drove away in the No. 36 gray Rolls-Royce, Li Xuan shook his head slightly, Lei Juekun's desire to control was too strong, how could Li Xuan be willing to suddenly put a boss on his head. If there are no additional conditions, and then the Golden Princess's foreign distribution ability can be fully developed, it would be good to go to the Golden Princess to grab the prime file, Golden Harvest is too crowded.
However, when he was talking to Lei Juekun just now, Li Xuan had a little idea. casually hailed a taxi, Li Xuan sat on it and said to the driver, "Go to He Dongdao." โ
"Jingle bellโ"
The doorbell rang crisply, and within a few seconds, the door opened, and a little loli poked her head out of the crack.
"Hey, it's you!"
Little Lori exclaimed, and then jumped out from behind the door with her eyes shining, and opened the courtyard door in a hurry.
"Haha, it's me, Xiao Yuqing, do you like the teddy bear I gave you last time?" Li Xuan bent down and smiled at the little Lori, and pinched the little Lori's fleshy little face.
"I like it, but Ah Ren Lao grabbed Xiaoxue with me." Little Lori angrily sued her nephew.
"Xiaoxue?"
"Well, the name I gave the teddy bear doll."
"Uh......" Li Xuan was suddenly a little speechless, touched the little girl's head and said, "Then brother will bring one over to Ah Ren next time, so that you can both have it." โ
"Thank you, brother!"
"No thanks, Xiao Yuqing, is your brother at home?"
"I'm not at home, my brother is making movies now, and he runs out every day, but you can wait, he should be back soon." Little Lori tilted her head and pushed open the door and explained to Li Xuan.
"Okay, then today, you, the little master, will greet me as a guest." Li Xuan walked into the house behind Xiao Lori and teased with a smile.
Ye Zhiming, who was sitting on the public bus rushing home, rested his head quietly on the back of the chair and looked out the window. Now he is very tired.
Although he doesn't know much about movies, in order to make a comeback, he still got up early and ran to the set greedily, and even sold his car in order to invest in movies, but reality still gave him a blow to the head.
The fashion company with a market value of 1 billion is gone, but it is the result of Ye Zhiming's hard work for ten years, and now he only has an empty shell bag film company. And with the few movies he invested in before bankruptcy, Ye Zhiming still wants to make a last stand.
However, Ye Zhiming's good luck seems to have been used up in the past few years!
In January, the movie "Dad" was released for 8 days before it received a box office of 1.43 million, at that time, the Golden Princess had not yet been established, and the theater package fee still had to be paid. In March, Princess Jin was finally established and the bottom fee was waived, but a "Fighting" only got 390,000 box office after 7 days of release, even if Princess Jin was willing to share a little box office, Ye Zhiming had no face to ask for it.
I don't have much money in my hand, do you want to mortgage this house? Ye Zhiming stood outside his house and thought quietly.
Ye Zhiming has not given up, he raised another sum of money and secretly invested in a new film of the Peace Film Company, "Buddha Palm Arhat Fist". And the Peace Film Company is a company founded by Yuan Heping, who holds the red dragon in one hand, and Yuan Heping is still the director of this drama himself.
"This drama doesn't need to make too much money, as long as it can reach the box office of more than 2 million in "Serpentine Trickster", it can also solve my urgent need." Ye Zhiming opened the door of his house in broken thoughts.
"Brother, why did you come back? Brother Xuan has been waiting for you for a long time. โ
Suddenly, the little sister's crisp voice came into Ye Zhiming's ears.
Brother Xuan?
Ye Zhiming looked curiously at his living room, where a young man was sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
