Chapter 180: The Doorman
"Yu'er, you will suffer for your father. ↑ After Ding Qiu Degen heard about his father's intention, he almost didn't break off his friendship with his father! He took ATV very seriously and insisted on not selling it at first. His father went from 100 million to 350 million, and he relented, but he said that he didn't let go because he had a lot of money, but because he felt your determination. ”
After Yan Qingyu listened to Jin Yong's words, he sneered: "I have the courage to hold on to 350 million before I let go, he feels my determination?" ”
Jin Yong sighed: "Qiu Degen is not a mediocre person, but after all, he is old. His sons are all good, but they are far from you. Qiu Degen said to me, it is terrible to be your enemy. He doesn't want to be your enemy for the sake of an ATV, and he will leave a legacy for his descendants. He had a request, though. ”
Yan Qingyu heard this: "As long as he is willing to call out ATV, everything else can be discussed." ”
For Yan Qingyu, the most important thing is to get ATV in his hands, the meaning of money is that it can be converted into an industry, buy what you want to get, and that's it.
Jin Yong said: "He wants to keep ATV's film company, it seems to be called Xinya." Yu'er, since you already have Tianxia Pictures, just give him Xinya, there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
Qiu Degen is a good person with a lot of reputation, and he wants to keep New Asia Film Company to commemorate his deceased wife.
Mr. Qiu started his career by showing slides in rural New Territories with his wife. The two worked hard for several years, saving 5,000 Hong Kong dollars to build the first small cinema in the New Territories, and then gradually developed into today's Far Eastern business empire. So he has a special affection for movies. ”
Yan Qingyu nodded when he heard this: "There is no problem, Xinya Film Company can give it to him." 350 million Hong Kong dollars, hehe, he really dares to handle it. If there is no problem, I will bring the lawyer and finance to him tomorrow to sign. However, I still hope that he can keep it secret and publicize it to the outside world for only 200 million Hong Kong dollars. I'm also going to get some of the shares scattered out there. ”
Jin Yong said: "There is no problem with this, I think he will agree." That's right, Mr. Shao. has agreed to sell the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line to you, including his four leading cinemas, adding up to a total of seventeen cinemas, all of which contain land. Coincidentally, Mr. Shao also bid 350 million, Yu'er, do you think there is a problem? ”
Yan Qingyu was overjoyed when she heard this: "There is no problem at all. If you count the land, the price of Uncle Six is not too high, and his theaters, especially the four leading theaters. All are located in the best places on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The land transfer fee alone is estimated to be 200 million. Father-in-law, thanks to your face! Hey! ”
Jin Yong shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "I told Mr. Shao your ideals all over again, and he felt very gratified, compared to Qiu Degen's slide background, Mr. Shao was born in a real film family." As early as the twenties, the Shao family father and son had already begun to do film careers in Dash. In the thirties and forties, Shaw Brothers theaters even opened in the South Seas and spread all over Southeast Asia. It's just that all of them were burned down by the Japanese army later. Mr. Shao's heart has a very deep affection for movies, and he hopes that you can do a good job. Make more good movies. ”
Yan Qingyu's face was stern when he heard this: "Father-in-law, don't worry, tomorrow after I get the ATV, I will go to meet Mr. Shao, he is an elder I respect." I won't live up to his expectations. ”
Jin Yong said again: "Yu'er, that's all your father can do for you, how you will go in the future, you must think twice!" Now Shaw Brothers' seventeen theaters have been won. But Golden Harvest has 33 theaters, and Golden Princess has 41 theaters, if these two theaters can't be won. I'm afraid that Shaw Brothers' cinema chain alone may not have much impact. ”
Yan Qingyu smiled: "Old Dou, you can rest assured." I promise to take these two theaters. I'll give them a reason they can't refuse, and let them willingly sell the theater to me. ”
Jin Yong scolded with a smile when he heard this: "Are you a rotten boy with no knowledge as a father?" I also really liked Marlon Brando and Al Pacino's performances. But if you do this, then I will teach you a lesson, and if you don't learn from the good, you will learn from the bad. ”
Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "Father-in-law, I won't be the godfather of the club, the child wants to be the godfather of the entertainment industry." It's not for power and ambition, it's just that I really can't get used to the current atmosphere of the Hong Kong film industry. In order to make a profit, he will follow the trend and shoot whatever he makes money. Of course, it's nothing to just follow the trend, if they can figure out the script with their hearts and shoot it carefully, it's nothing, but a large number of shoddy films will not only destroy their personal reputation, but also ruin the reputation of the entire Hong Kong film, which I can't allow. ”
Jin Yong nodded when he heard this: "Well, it's good that you can have this heart." Remember, the role of power is not to do whatever you want. It's about being able to better achieve the purpose of doing things.
When I was in charge of the government for my father, I didn't know how many notes I approved every day. I'm not doing this to take power, but to get everybody to do what they have to do. Of course, there are disadvantages to this, and it restricts their initiative too much. However, I would like to remind you that you must not lose your authority, otherwise, it will be difficult to provoke the girder after all. Running a business is not a child's house, it must be rigorous! ”
Yan Qingyu listened carefully in her heart, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, I remember." In the future, if there is a problem in Ming Pao, I will also ask my father-in-law for advice. ”
Jin Yong stood up, handed the signed share transfer document to Yan Qingyu, and said in a deep voice: "I have already gone to do a notarization, from now on, Yu'er will officially become the chairman of Ming Pao, and I hope you can do it well for my father." ”
Yan Qingyu solemnly took the bag of Wen Jiàn, nodded and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, I will definitely make Ming Pao the largest newspaper in China." Strive to achieve that where there are Chinese, there will be Ming Pao. ”
When Jin Yong heard this, his eyes were a little moist, he nodded, waved his hand again, and said, "You go and get busy, I'm going to sit here for a while!" ”
Yan Qingyu stepped forward and hugged Jin Yong, then turned his head and left......
The next day, in the ATV building, Qiu Degen quietly looked at Yan Qingyu, who was sitting calmly across the desk.
"Yan Sheng, I talked to Cha Sheng, I am willing to resell ATV to you, just to keep Xinya Film Company. In the future, I hope that Yan Sheng can take more care of movies. ”
Qiu Degen said.
This year is the year of the sixtieth year, Qiu Degen did not expect that one day he would be forced by a junior to go to Si. Just for the sake of his descendants, he had to bow his head. If it was just Qiu Degen himself, he would naturally not be afraid of Yan Qingyu, who was powerful in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the final analysis, Hong Kong is the territory of the United Kingdom, and capital is the foundation. Qiu Degen can go from white hands to the present. Are you still afraid of a child? It's just that he will die sooner or later, but his eight children are not Yan Qingyu's opponents......
Yan Qingyu said lightly: "ATV has been established since Li's TV for more than 30 years, and only under the leadership of Qiu Sheng has it achieved initial profitability. The younger generation knows that what they are doing is a little unkind, so they are willing to offer a sky-high price of 350 million. Xinya Film Company can give it to you, and you can give priority to the schedule when it is released in my theater in the future, of course, the theater has the rules of the theater, if the quality of the film is not good, no matter whose movie it is, it will be drawn in advance. ”
Qiu Degen looked at Yan Qingyu with some surprise and said, "Yan Sheng." As far as I know, Yan Sheng, there doesn't seem to be a movie theater chain under your name, right? ”
Yan Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "Soon, soon." The seventeen theaters of the Shaw Brothers can receive them after I finish signing with Qiu Sheng. ”
Qiu Degen's face changed when he heard this, and then he exhaled a long breath and said, "It's really terrifying!" Although Shaw Brothers is no longer making money, it is the lifeblood of Mr. Shao. He's ...... It's okay, then I'll thank Yan Sheng in advance for your care. ”
After that, Qiu Degen signed the share transfer agreement.
Yan Qingyu laughed when she saw this, and said, "Thank you Qiu Shengquan!" It's just that I still have to visit Qiu Sheng to be able to keep it secret for a while. I'm also going to get back the 50 percent of ATV's shares that are scattered out there. If someone asks Qiu Sheng about the price of ATV's transfer, please also claim that it is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. I'm sorry for you, Qiu Sheng! ”
Ninety-nine heads are kowtowed, so naturally they don't care about the last one. Qiu Degen happily agreed.
Yan Qingyu held Qiu Degen's hand and said, "Qiu Sheng, although we are only a business transaction, I have a lot of respect for you and thank you for your support. In addition to these 350 million. I can also give Qiu Sheng a personal friendship. If Qiu Sheng encounters any trouble in the future that I can help, you can sue me, as long as I can. I won't let you down. ”
Qiu Degen was overjoyed when he heard this, as Jin Yong said, he is a wise person, there are so many people in Hong Kong, few can start from scratch like Qiu Degen and create a business empire.
Qiu Degen was able to agree to the transfer when ATV finally started to make a profit, and he was able to say such a thing to Jin Yong, which shows this person's foresight.
Then, Qiu Degen, who is definitely no stranger to Yan Qingyu, naturally knows how precious Yan Qingyu's friendship is.
There is no one in Hong Kong today who does not want such a friendship.
……
Coming out of ATV, I didn't walk a few steps to wireless.
ATV's headquarters building is located at 81 Broadcasting Road, Kowloon Tong, while TVB's headquarters building is located at 77 Broadcasting Road, Kowloon Tong.
Next to each other!
When Yan Qingyu came to the wireless gate again, she still felt quite emotional, and glanced at the position of the doorman at random, and suddenly felt a little happy.
The fat man who bullied him at the beginning is still standing guard here.
It is said that this fat man has also become a wireless celebrity in the past two years, who doesn't know that it was this fat man who made things difficult for Yan Qingyu in every possible way, which made him meet Zhao Yazhi, the favorite in his life.
Yan Qingyu originally thought that this fat man would either leave wireless a long time ago and find another job, or transfer to other positions.
Who knows, it's been two years, and he's still standing here.
Seeing Yan Qingyu's gaze, the fat man flashed left and right, but he still didn't flash.
It's just that he didn't dare to break the jar and break the resistance. If he really had the courage, he couldn't say that Yan Qingyu would still look up to him.
Just seeing that his fat and oily face was full of flattering smiles, Yan Qingyu suddenly had no interest in taking care of him, shook his head and walked straight into the building, no longer looking at him.
The fat doorman looked at Yan Qingyu's back in a daze, he didn't know what was going on, his self-esteem that had not been saved for many years suddenly appeared and exploded, he ripped off the security hat on his head, and after stepping on it a few times, he turned around and strode away!
After walking a few steps, the raised chest gradually collapsed, and changed back to the appearance of bowing his head and hunching his shoulders, looking back at the hat on the ground in embarrassment, and finally thinking twice, he still walked back step by step, picked up the hat, patted off the ashes on the hat, and put it back on, a familiar smile appeared on his face again...... (To be continued......)
