It is said that everyone was surprised when they heard that Chen Xiaotang planned to join everyone to acquire Fox Company. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiang Huasheng, who represents Eternal Life Entertainment, has always looked at Chen Xiaotang unpleasantly, and his brother Xiang Huaqiang also taught him a lesson for this, and now is a good opportunity to ridicule him.

"Two billion US dollars, Chen Xiaotang, do you think we are opening a bank, who dares to guarantee such a big investment?! You are whimsical, if you fail, can you, the so-called superstar Justice of the Peace, afford this responsibility?! ”

Chen Xiaotang just glanced at Xiang Huasheng's cold words contemptuously, which made Xiang Huasheng even more unhappy, as if his self-esteem had been hit by a great blow, what do you mean, don't you even bother to turn your face? !

"Guys, what do you think?" Chen Xiaotang ignored Xiang Huasheng's eyes and looked at Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. As for Pan Disheng, Chen Xiaotang knows that as long as everyone votes, he will follow suit, and if the resolution fails, he will not take such a big risk for the so-called "friendship". After all, friendship is friendship, and business is business.

Zou Wenhuai took a puff of a big cigar, and then said to Chen Xiaotang: "The stakes are big, especially for such a big investment, I think it is better for all of us to discuss it carefully." ”

"yes, it's too risky, it's not worth the risk." Big Boss Lei, who has always been silent, even raised objections.

Chen Xiaotang might as well be so hesitant that everyone looked at Shao Tycoon again, among all of them, Shao Tycoon is the oldest and has the most experience, as long as he speaks a word, the weight is definitely heavy enough.

Shao Daheng pondered for a while, and then asked Chen Xiaotang bitterly: "Ah Tang, now that the studio is being built and the business is start-up, I really don't understand why you want to buy this Fox again?" ”

The meaning is very simple, it is already very troublesome to create a studio, what are you still playing?! More is better than less, you know?!

Chen Xiaotang said firmly: "I just think the opportunity is rare. In particular, Fox, as a veteran Hollywood film company, has always had a good reputation, and this brand alone is worth hundreds of millions; If we want Hong Kong films to quickly open up the situation in Hollywood, we must establish our own Hollywood company, and after the company is established, we must do many things, including theater integration, resource management, and early publicity work...... Roughly speaking, it will not be possible to achieve a climate without three or four years. On the contrary, if we buy Fox, we can use the brand effect of this company to directly push our Hong Kong films directly into the mainstream market in Hollywood, so that they will gradually accept us. ”

"Therefore, the acquisition of Fox is an important opportunity for our Hong Kong film industry to truly rise and gain respect in the world film industry! It's an essential key to open the doors of Hollywood! One big gamble, one and the same! ”

Chen Xiaotang's words were loud and clear, and the reason was also very thorough, all the people present were the bigwigs who have struggled and worked hard in the Hong Kong film industry for decades, and after listening to these words, they couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

yes, it's a good opportunity.

Hong Kong films really need a good entry point to enter Hollywood.

Fox has a long history and a strong brand, and if it can be acquired, it will definitely be done once and for all.

But the question is, what if such a huge amount of money is smashed into it and lost?

In case Fox can't turn over and drags everyone into the abyss together, wouldn't it be a miserable death?!

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel; Don't push yourself into the cruel abyss for the sake of your dreams.

This person, when he is older, he will inevitably think too much about doing things, which is called "thoughtful" to put it nicely, and "afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back" in the ugly way.

When you were young, who didn't have to be ambitious and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger? wants to become a movie tycoon, look down on the Hong Kong River, smile proudly in Hollywood, and rely on the red and green in the world film industry; But now, whining and mourning, the eggs that slam the door hurt, and I don't dare to take risks, I'm afraid that the meat buns will hit the dog and there will be no return......

In particular, the meat filling of this meat bun is a real 2 billion...... Return him ~ dollars!

Everyone was silent for three minutes.

It's a tough three minutes.

Chen Xiaotang knew that he had to work harder, otherwise, this matter would be yellow.

"Actually, when I said that I would invest two billion, I would only put it into one billion if I calculated it carefully." Sure enough, Chen Xiaotang's sudden change caused those "contemplative" bigwigs to raise their heads and look at him, with their eyes revealed: What do you mean? !

Chen Xiaotang continued, "Everyone is used to doing big business, how many have you seen those who have invested out of their old ways? Most of them use bank money to make their own money......"

Chen Xiaotang pointed out a little bit of the theme, that is, "borrowing money from the bank" to play, which is the most common game in the business circle.

But how to play?

Chen Xiaotang: "Let's get the contract for the acquisition of Fox with a time difference, and then mortgage this contract to a bank in the United States, that is, to mortgage the Fox company that we have in hand, I initially estimate that we can borrow at least one billion US dollars, so that we only need to pay half of the money to get the right to operate Fox, although this company is mortgaged to the bank, but it will not affect our management of it at all, let alone our Hong Kong film development strategy with the help of Fox." When the time comes, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Arts City, etc., can take their own good movies to Hollywood for screening, low cost, in exchange for high US dollars, isn't this a very cost-effective deal? ”

Chen Xiaotang's words are highly agitating and tempting, just ask, if a film filmed with three or four million Hong Kong dollars is exchanged for three or four million dollars in Hollywood, wouldn't it make a lot of money? !

However, just when several bigwigs were "thinking deeply" again, Xiang Huasheng, who likes to argue with Chen Xiaotang, sneered: "What about dreaming, if it is really so easy to do, why don't those Hollywood companies do it?" Why are we cheaper? What's more, even if the acquisition is really successful, what will happen in the future? If this company continues to lose money, will it also pull us into the water? Therefore, we must think twice about being a man and doing things, do what we can, and don't slap a swollen face everywhere to be fat, so as not to leave a stench for 10,000 years! ”

"Shut up!" Chen Xiaotang suddenly scolded.

Xiang Huasheng was reprimanded, first stunned, and then angry: "What did you say? ”

"I'll shut you up!" Chen Xiaotang's eyes were extremely sharp, staring at him. "If you don't want to participate, you can get out of here, don't be disgusting like a shit-stirring stick!"

Xiang Huasheng, who was originally clenching his fists and had a huge fire, was forced by Chen Xiaotang's eyes, and he involuntarily softened.

"You...... Sixth uncle, Boss Zou, look, what kind of attitude does he have? ”

"Ah Sheng, if you really don't want to, just leave first, and we'll discuss it later." Shao Tycoon said coldly.

Xiang Huasheng was speechless for a moment, it turned out that he was so annoying.

"Okay, I'll go, you discuss, I'll see what you can discuss!" Xiang Huasheng left a little unwillingly, and everyone ignored him.

After Xiang Huasheng left, Shao Daheng closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Ah Tang, although Xiang Huasheng is a little bastard~, it is not completely wrong, even if we really have to take down Fox, how will we operate it in the future?" How do I repay the loan? Have you considered any of these? ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Six, I have a plan." Chen Xiaotang said very calmly, "If we really buy Fox, first of all, I will package the company's stock of film sources into a new videotape model - DVD discs, and sell them, and its sales restriction strategy is 'new packaging, new nostalgia'......"

"VD, what is this?"

You must know that the replacement of video tapes by DVDs did not appear in the mainland until the early nineties, and then spread all over the world, and of course Shao Daheng and others have not seen it.

Chen Xiaotang had already prepared, magically took out a very thin CD, and said: "It is this kind of product, I have sent someone to invest in this area before, and now the research results are beginning to bear fruit, I believe that in the next three years, this kind of CD will replace the videotape as a new film projection model; And I have already applied for a patent for this kind of equipment, such as DVD projectors, compact discs, etc., and it will definitely shock the entire scientific and technological world when the time comes! ”

Indeed, the invention of VD is definitely an innovation, and the bad or sad thing is that we Chinese do not know how to apply for a patent, this is originally something we invented, the big guys are busy producing to make money, and in the end the patent rights are snatched away by foreigners, so that in the end, we produce machines, and we have to pay foreigners patent fees, which is really painful!

Now that Chen Xiaotang has learned the ability, he wants to firmly grasp the patent of this invention in his hands, and in the future, those Japanese ghosts want to produce this kind of DVD, so they will give it to their grandfather and pay the patent fee!

In the face of this "ultra-thin" "videotape" thrown by Chen Xiaotang, Shao Daheng and Zou Wenhuai and others only felt that it was amazing, if it was really as Chen Xiaotang said, then the thousands of resources in the Fox library could be turned into green dollars.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his killer move, Chen Xiaotang made persistent efforts and said: "In addition, I will readjust the proportion of movies shot by Fox Company, focusing on low-budget horror films and suspense films, assisting one or two big dramas, stewing beef brisket on small fire, and slowly fighting a tough battle, I believe that in less than two years, Fox will be able to slow down, and then the bank's loan will be solved!" ”

All of you here are from movie backgrounds, and of course you have some understanding of the tastes of people in Hollywood. Young people in Hollywood are a huge subject, and these people like new and exciting things, low-budget horror films or suspense films, which are the most suitable for their tastes, such as the young Hollywood director Sam. The "Evil Dead" series directed by Remy has been very popular in North America and Hong Kong, and the investment of this drama is only a few hundred thousand dollars, which is definitely a representative of small and broad.

Now the strategy proposed by Chen Xiaotang is also in the hearts of Shao Daheng and others, knowing that the acquisition proposed by Chen Xiaotang is not built indiscriminately, let alone an occasional whim, but a big investment with a plan, preparation and strategy.

"It looks like you're really ready...... Shao Daheng seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Chen Xiaotang, "But it's still that sentence, it's a big matter, and we still have to discuss it carefully." ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "Of course, I don't dare to expect everyone to agree to such a big thing, but I hope you can think about it clearly, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, if we Hong Kong movies want to go out, we must be ruthless!" ”

Shao Daheng and the others nodded, and they were all silent.

Chen Xiaotang knew that he had done his best, and as for whether things could succeed, he could only resign himself to fate. (To be continued)
