readx;
It can be said that after this time, although Li Mingbao does not have a substantive film company in his hands, there are quite a lot of talents in film, whether it is Hong Kong or overseas, in addition to no film company, his strength in the film is not less than the previous three major film companies, and even surpasses a lot.

Because in the agent company, it is not only these outsiders who sign a contract with Li Mingbao, even if it is a person from the three major companies, it is actually not a small number, the top brand of the three major companies, Li Mingbao has signed it, and the sixth uncle They used to cooperate with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun to make movies, and they also went through the cooperation of the agent company to continue, even if the sixth uncle and Zou Wenhuai are good enough to wear a pair of pants, because of the previous reasons, it is still the brokerage company that threads the needle. So when it comes to film resources, Li Mingbao can now be said to be the most powerful person in Hong Kong, although he does not have any film companies under him.
With an agent company, invisibly, Li Mingbao bypassed some problems, although he can't make movies like an assembly line like a film company, but if he makes a movie, he can directly use an agent company to do it, even if he uses the best resources, there is no trouble, it will not be like other companies, even if he uses someone else's company, even if he gives money, there will be some restrictions.
Up to now, with the joining of these newcomers, the influence of Li Mingbao's agent company is not only in Hong Kong, but also in the whole of East Asia, even if there are occasionally some foreign film companies, asking Hong Kong or other local film talents to make movies for them, they will also think of Li Mingbao's agent company, and this is not just an expectation, but has realized something, in recent times, the film industry talents sold by Li Mingbao are no longer an exception.
Because Li Mingbao has a very deep professional talent background, even the companies that make movies in Japan are also cooperating with agent companies. Even recently, the brokerage company in Japan has been discussing cooperation with Li Mingbao. For example, if their signing agent gives a certain amount of remuneration, then Li Mingbao will give corresponding recommendations, so that they can appear on the movie screens of other countries as local filmmakers. To put it simply, the brokerage company now has a certain intermediary ability, and it is believed that with the formal success and continuous improvement of the circulation port, Li Mingbao's brokerage company will rise and expand, and the service area will expand to the entire East Asian region. In that way, the strength of this brokerage company may be able to leap into a company with a pivotal position in East Asia, and it will not be much inferior to the established brokerage companies in Hollywood.
Of course, these things need to be done step by step, at least for now, the expansion of Li Mingbao's agent company is not so rapid, and the sixth uncle and they don't care too much about Li Mingbao's agent company now, what the future will be, only after Li Mingbao has walked through it, will know.
And after Li Mingbao handed over the matter of the circulation port and the United Cinema Line to his subordinates, his mind was not put on this. Because he has more important things now, the day of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's action is getting closer and closer, and the day when Li Mingbao wants to make a small amount of money by relying on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate is getting closer and closer. At such a time, where can Li Mingbao still take care of the affairs of the circulation port? Anyway, now that he has established his dominance over there, and he is now in Hong Kong, there will not be too much of a problem over there, but it is the matter of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, and Li Mingbao's preparation is not sufficient.
Originally, Li Mingbao was ready to use the money to do this business after getting the income of "Home Alone", almost a year ago, it stands to reason that Li Mingbao's preparation time was very sufficient, but he didn't know the financial danger at all, so he directly got the money to Hong Kong, and also deposited it in Standard Chartered Bank, it seems that this is a pretty good thing, as long as two months before the HKMA starts, convert the US dollar into Hong Kong dollars, and then wait until the value of the Hong Kong dollar stabilizes. Immediately exchange Hong Kong dollars for US dollars, and you can make a lot of money between one in and one out.
The theory is plump, and the reality is skinny. At the beginning, Li Mingbao didn't have any financial common sense at all, but after being nurtured in the United States, he immediately understood that he had done a stupid thing, and such a stupid thing was completely a low-level mistake in the financial industry.
The most idiotic thing is that Li Mingbao put the money in Standard Chartered Bank. What kind of bank Standard Chartered Bank is, there is no one in Hong Kong who does not know. The Hong Kong dollar thing was printed by them, Li Mingbao put the money in the Standard Chartered Bank, and was also ready to use the money to make a vote on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, which is completely the old birthday star eating arsenic, and it is greasy.
For Standard Chartered Bank, which has the right to mint Hong Kong dollars, any capital that has ambitions for the Hong Kong dollar is clearly against them. For such capital, if they don't suppress it, it will be really chaotic. It is impossible for Standard Chartered Bank to be unaware of the actions of the HKMA, so as long as Li Mingbao puts the money in Standard Chartered Bank, it is equivalent to taking profits from Standard Chartered Bank in front of Standard Chartered Bank. If you change to a certain group of countries, maybe they will look at it and watch it when they look at it, and they will be slapped in the face, and they will lose a little money to let others pass, and everyone will be fine.
But the problem is that this money is Li Mingbao's private money, and for Li Mingbao, Standard Chartered Bank is a behemoth, and the consequences of such a face-to-face provocation are definitely quite serious. To put it mildly, this money has been lost, and Standard Chartered Bank has cooperated with the HKMA to make some moves casually, and it is not uncommon for Li Mingbao to make money, let alone making money, and his own capital has been swallowed. If it is heavier, the Hong Kong government will directly come to get a crime that affects finance, so that Li Mingbao will not be able to eat and walk around, not to mention the money in the Standard Chartered Bank, even if it is money outside, Li Mingbao will have to pay a lot, unless Li Mingbao does not stay in Hong Kong, otherwise he will not be able to escape. Even if you don't stay in Hong Kong, you may not be able to get all right, after all, there is a British government standing behind Standard Chartered Bank, and none of the five hooligans is easy to get along with.
After realizing that he had made an idiotic decision, Li Mingbao immediately made a new decision, that is, to get the money out first. But at this time, Hong Kong's financial situation was already chaotic, if Li Mingbao did not have a clear purpose for such a large sum of money, Standard Chartered Bank could wait for the chaos to end before releasing Li Mingbao's money, and then how could Li Mingbao take advantage of the fire to rob? So when he was in the United States, Li Mingbao turned the money into a private loan to Murdoch, and finally got the money out of Standard Chartered Bank.
And after it comes out, the money has to be slowly returned to Hong Kong, otherwise how would Li Mingbao change the money? So after the money came out of Standard Chartered Bank, it first went through Morgan's account, and then transferred it from Morgan's account to the account of a local bank in the western United States, and then from the account of this western bank, to the Swiss bank. In the end, I slowly entered the Hong Kong market in batches from Swiss banks, transferred countless accounts, and finally got the money back.
No wonder Li Mingbao is too careful about the flow of this money, it is really that the time for him to leave this money is too sudden, a few months before the Hong Kong British government rectified the exchange rate, the money was taken away, and it is not a small amount, in the eyes of whom, this is a dangerous signal, after all, this money in Hong Kong is not a short time, it stands to reason that such a sum of money should have been settled a long time ago, but it has not done much financial business for more than a year, and now it is withdrawn, do not doubt who you suspect? If Li Mingbao is not careful, with the ability of Standard Chartered Bank, it will definitely be quite easy to figure out where the money is going.
In fact, even if Li Mingbao does so many means, for Standard Chartered Bank, it may not be any insurance measure, needless to say, Morgan Bank, and the connection with Standard Chartered Bank is not small, and the degree of secrecy of banks in the western region is also not strong, as long as they have the heart, they can also find out. Even Swiss banks, which boast to be the most secretive, may not be as safe as they are. The discipline of Swiss banks is not as good as the outside world says, and the banks of Jews and Nazis suffered a lot in those days.
But there is no way, Li Mingbao only has so much time, and he also wants to get more means, but it takes time for these means to be developed, and he can go through the funds so many times in such a short time, thanks to Murdoch's help, if Li Mingbao gets it himself, even if he takes so many insurances, it is impossible.
Fortunately, Li Mingbao only wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the money, and the adjustment of Hong Kong's exchange rate did not lack people who eat meat. After all, the government is losing money when it comes to stabilizing the exchange rate, and other businessmen will not lose money on this. If the British government loses, it does not mean that they also lose, and if they want to eat meat, they naturally have to eat the meat of the government. So many people are looking at the interests in this regard, and even if the British government wants to pursue it in the future, it will be a mess, so Li Mingbao, an outsider, is not so easy for the British to find out.
Of course, it is not easy to find, and it does not mean that the British will not suspect it. After all, Li Mingbao's more than 300 million US dollars is not a small amount, and the British can't see such a large sum of money, so they will become waste. But the suspicion doesn't matter to Li Mingbao, anyway, the attitude of the British government in Hong Kong does not have much impact on Li Mingbao. In addition, the strength of the Hong Kong film industry is not so simple, and under the trap, at most, it will be over, and it is really not so easy to really attack Li Mingbao. As for not having a good face or anything in the future, Li Mingbao doesn't care at all, and the British can't stare at him every day, for the sake of that little loss, Li Mingbao will be completely put on the opposite side, isn't the British afraid of settling the account?
