Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao quickly arrived at the Jiahe headquarters by car.

"Uncle Huai, godfather~" As soon as he entered the door and saw Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, Cheng Long immediately greeted him sweetly.

He recognized Luo Wei as his godfather before, and now after entering Golden Harvest, he worshiped He Guanchang, the second-in-command of Golden Harvest, as his godfather.

"Aaron, you sit down first." He Guanchang said.

Cheng Long saw that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had gloomy faces, and knew that Han Jin's sky-high price poaching made them very worried. He sat down on the couch in silence, not as lively as usual.

After doing it for a while, Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao also rushed over, and then sat down with Cheng Long.

"Ah Chang~" Zou Wenhuai nodded at He Guanchang.

"Yes." He Guanchang nodded, his face sank like water, and he looked preoccupied, "Sanmao, Ah Long, Ah Biao, you have all received the news, right?" He asked.

All three nodded.

"What you think in your hearts, tell me the truth, and don't have any worries." He Guanchang asked again.

"Godfather, don't worry, I won't leave." As soon as He Guanchang's words came out, Cheng Long immediately took the lead in expressing his allegiance.

He Guanchang smiled, but he didn't believe Cheng Long's promise in his heart. When Jiahe poached him back then, Cheng Long also swore to Luo Wei three times and twice, saying that he would never agree to be poached. But when the equivalent was raised to five million Hong Kong dollars, he forgot all his oaths.

This time, Han Jin paid 30 million US dollars, such a large amount of money, he didn't believe that Cheng Long would not be moved. And he answered so quickly now, it was clearly perfunctory. It is inevitable that there will be secret contact with Yongsheng behind the scenes, when the time comes. While Jiahe didn't pay attention, he might have run away.

Hong Jingbao glanced at Cheng Long in surprise, and also smiled, "Uncle Chang, the company is very kind to us, everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and they will not be so unrighteous." ”

"Yes. Senior brother is right. Yuan Biao also said.

He Guanchang also smiled slightly when he heard Hong Jingbao say this. Hong Jingbao's words sounded bold and dry, but he did not say whether he would stay. And what "sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes", "to stress righteousness", seems to be talking about themselves, but in fact, they are not reminding Jiahe.

Of course, the so-called righteousness is two-sided, you talk about righteousness, and I only talk about righteousness. You don't pay attention to righteousness, why am I still polite to you?!

Now if you promise to stay in Golden Harvest. It is equivalent to giving up 30 million US dollars, we are so righteous, the company must at least have something to say, otherwise the company is not righteous, then when we leave, it will not be considered unjust.

"Good, everyone agreed to stay, and Raymond and I were both relieved." He Guanchang said with a smile. "As long as the fence is tightly guarded, there is no fear of wild dogs coming to make trouble."

"Yes. En, en~" The three of them nodded together.

"Well, it's really touching that you can refuse the temptation and choose to stay in the company and accompany us through the difficult times." He Guanchang said.

"Sanmao. The number of movies your Baohe releases every year accounts for half of Golden Harvest's productions. The company can have today's glory, you are great. ”

"Aaron, you are now the hottest movie star in Asia, and you have made a name for yourself in Hollywood. It has also made great contributions to the company, and the company is grateful for your achievements. ”

"Ah Biao, you are diligent and have always done your best for the company. Raymond and I are very grateful for your hard work! He Guanchang looked at them and said emotionally one by one.

Cheng Long listened quite impatiently, what to do with all these vain heads, and directly sent us 10 million Hong Kong dollars each, which is called real righteousness. In order to stay in the company, our senior brother doesn't even want 30 million US dollars, you have to show something, right?!

"In order to commend your achievements, the company is ready to give out 20 million Hong Kong dollars in red envelopes per person." He Guanchang said that hearing him say this, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others immediately became interested.

"But I checked the company's account today, and now the company's balance is only more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars." He Guanchang said, "This is all the company's accounts this year, you can take a look at it, I am not lying." As he spoke, he piled up a large stack of ledgers in front of Hong Jingbao and the others.

Hong Jingbao and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.

Originally, I heard that each person would pay 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and they still felt that the company was really righteous. Now it seems that it's just a blank check, the company has no money, you say that the reward is a fart?!

"Uncle Chang, the company has been making money every year all these years, how can there be so much left in the account?" Hong Jingbao asked suspiciously.

Not to mention anything else, how much money does he make for the company every year, and now he says that the company has 20 million left, how can he believe it?!

"The company has indeed made some films very profitable over the years, such as Ah Long's "Plan A", Sanmao's "Five Lucky Stars", and A Biao's "Bo Niu". But there are also a lot of loss-making movies, such as Xu Ke's "Shushan", Ah Long's "Weilong Detective" and so on. He Guanchang said.

"This, coupled with the rising production costs, has taken up a lot of the company's working capital." He Guanchang said, "Two years ago, when I made a big-budget movie, 10 million Hong Kong dollars was already very high. Now it costs 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars to make movies, and Aaron's "Police Story" has now cost 50 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Hearing him talk like this, Cheng Long and the three of them were a little depressed. He Guanchang calculated and calculated, as if he was counting all the faults on them. I didn't talk about it when I made money before, but now I say what these things are doing?!

"There are also companies that have paid off a lot of debts in recent years, invested in the studio, and updated equipment, which also used a lot of money." He Guanchang explained.

Golden Harvest started with the help of Nanyang film merchants' funds, and now after making money, with Zou Wenhuai's character of being accustomed to controlling everything, he naturally wants to redeem the shares, so this costs Golden Harvest a lot of money. In addition, the maintenance of the Axe Hill Road studio, the acquisition of its theaters, and the renewal of various equipment also require a large amount of money, so that Golden Harvest's liquidity is very scarce.

There is another point that He Guanchang did not mention, that is, Zou Wenhuai took a large amount of money to invest in real estate. Now that the property market in Hong Kong is booming, all real estate developers have made a fortune.

Businessmen seek profit. Zou Wenhuai naturally didn't want to miss this great opportunity. Therefore, he invested a large amount of money in the property market, hoping to become not only a film tycoon, but also a real estate tycoon like Lei Juekun.

Because of this, Golden Harvest's liquidity is so small, only more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars remained.

Cheng Long and others listened to He Guanchang for a long time. It boils down to two words – no money!

I don't have money and want the three of them to stay in the company, which is really too tiresome and panicked.

Therefore, after He Guanchang finished speaking, Hong Jingbao and the three of them did not express their position.

"Although the company has no money now, it doesn't want to chill everyone's hearts." As soon as Zou Wenhuai saw that they were silent, he knew that the three of them had ideas in their hearts, so he had to put forward a backup plan.

"In this way, Raymond and I decided to take out 10% of the shares and give them to the three of you." He said again.

Golden Harvest now has a market value of one billion Hong Kong dollars, and one percent of the shares are equivalent to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. That's a lot of money. greatly surprised the three of them, making Hong Jingbao and the three of them start to get excited again.

"The company is worthy of you if this happens." He Guanchang said, "In the future, you will be equivalent to the boss of the company, and everyone will spend the money together when you make money in the future, and work together to build Jiahe well." ”

"Yes." Hearing him say this, Hong Jingbao and the others were also a little excited.

One percent of the shares, which is equivalent to a lot of money. They really made money this time.

"Come, to show your sincerity. Let's sign this contract. He Guanchang said again, saying that each person issued a contract.

Hearing that the contract was going to be signed, Hong Jingbao and the three of them were not too surprised, knowing that this was the proper meaning of the question.

After having a contract, it is difficult for Yongsheng to poach people. When the time comes, the sky-high liquidated damages will be able to scare it away.

And in case Hong Jingbao and the three of them sneak over. Golden Harvest can also talk with the contract, and when the time comes, I will not talk to you about friendship, and I will directly talk to you.

The three of them took the contract, read it again, and couldn't help but look at each other.

The contract period is twenty years. In the event of a breach of contract, the damages alone will be as high as HK$1 billion.

Hong Jingbao and the others couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded at first glance, where is this contract, this is simply a deed of sale.

There are several twenty years in this life, and after twenty years, all three of them will be in their fifties. At that time, even if the contract expires, they will already be unable to move, so who will invite them again?!

And the contract also makes it clear that although the three of them have a percentage of the shares, they can only receive dividends and cannot participate in trading, and as long as they leave the company, the shares will be automatically withdrawn.

From this point of view, Golden Harvest is clearly using this stake as bait to catch them in the bait, so that they can't leave the company at all.

"Uncle Chang, I don't know much literacy, I can't read this contract, can you let me take it back and let my wife help me take a look?" Hong Jingbao said.

He had to think about this matter clearly, otherwise it would be twenty years since he signed his name. At that time, I will not be able to go anywhere, so I can only serve Jiahe for the rest of my life.

"Godfather, I can't understand it either, I have to find someone to help me take a look." Cheng Long also said.

He is now in the limelight, and he plans to enter Hollywood, so he is reluctant to sign such a long contract. Who can guarantee that in two or three years, he will not become a world superstar?! When the time comes, entering Hollywood is the biggest way out, so what's the point of staying in Hong Kong.

Yuan Biao saw that the two senior brothers said this, so he also nodded together.

Seeing that the three of them refused to sign the contract, He Guanchang's face couldn't help but become gloomy.

"Sanmao, Along, Abiao, the company has always been very good to you, you can't drop the chain at this critical moment." He Guanchang said.

"Godfather, I know." Cheng Long agreed very happily, but he still didn't sign.

If the contract is shorter, say two or three years, it is okay for him to sign it. It's a big deal to do my best for Jiahe for three years, and after I come out, I am as young and strong as I am, I can move, and there are still people to rob him.

But after twenty years, after coming out again, who knows what this world has become. Just look at the current Wang Yu, Jiang Dawei, and Di Long, ten years ago, they were still heroic heroes, but now they are all outdated.

Their today may not be their own future, and after 20 years, they will become old, weak, sick and disabled, and then they will be kicked out of the door by Jiahe, how will they live? !

Cheng Long doesn't read much, but he is not a fool, and he jumps into it knowing that it is a trap.

Therefore, even if He Guanchang plays the emotional card again, or pours ** soup again, Cheng Long just doesn't sign it, and only copes with He Guanchang one by one.

Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao also did the same, Cheng Long refused to sign, and they didn't sign either, which made He Guanchang struggle and still couldn't convince them.

"Ah Long, don't forget, when you were filming in Taiwan, you got involved with the woman of the owner of the Jinghai Hall of the Four Seas, if it wasn't for the company to help you settle this matter, you would have been cut into eight pieces by now."

"Sanmao, when you were filming "Fast Food Truck" in Spain, you took people to the red light district to find fun and caused a fight, but you were detained by the local police, it wasn't the company that helped you pay, you are still squatting in the class room now?"

"And Nathan Road 32 Building B, don't think I don't know. More than half of the female artists in the company have been played by you over there, how many people have abortions alone? ”

He Guanchang saw that after all the good words, they just refused to sign the contract, and they couldn't help but be a little ruthless.
