Chapter 233: Shao Tycoon's Entanglement

In September 1981982, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited China, and China and Britain opened the curtain on the future of Hong Kong. After the talks, the two sides stated in a statement that they would negotiate a solution to the future of Hong Kong through diplomatic channels.

However, due to the Sino-British negotiations, although the people of Xiangjiang are still on the sidelines, the property prices and stock prices in Xiangjiang have begun to fall, but the decline is relatively slow.

It's just that China and Britain have been negotiating for two months, but unfortunately the two sides have been deadlocked and have not made the slightest progress.

As a result, the British began to fan the flames in Xiangjiang and create public opinion that once China took back Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang would be in chaos. Housing prices and stock prices, which were still slowly falling, have plummeted and are still falling rapidly.

The Hang Seng Index fell by more than 200 in a short period of time, and real estate undoubtedly fell even worse, especially in the New Territories.

According to the lease agreement between the Qing government and the United Kingdom, the New Territories were to be returned to the Chinese side in 1997, which meant that the land in the New Territories would be returned to the state in 1997. This prompts the land in the New Territories to only be bought for a period of more than ten years.

As a result, the citizens of Xiangjiang panicked, which led to a wave of immigration. In particular, last year, the United Kingdom enacted the British Nationality Act 1981 in Hong Kong, which stipulates that anyone born in a British Dependency is eligible to become a British citizen. However, one of the parents must be a British citizen or settled in the UK.

Since the bill was introduced last year, it has triggered a wave of immigration, and now China and the UK are in a stalemate, and the British side has created panic, leading to a more turbulent wave of immigration, which has led to a sharp drop in housing prices.

When the Sino-British negotiations reached a stalemate, as soon as Zhao Chen returned to Xiangjiang, Shao Yifu personally came to Tianxia Comics Company to find him.

"Shao Tycoon, what kind of wind is blowing you here today!"

Zhao Chen still doesn't know the intention of Shao Daheng, it is nothing more than a matter of Sino-British negotiations.

"It's such a big thing, you don't know. During this time, the door of my house was about to be broken by the Hong Kong Governor's Office and the Xinhua News Agency, and Wang Kuang, the president of the Xinhua News Agency, came several times, which was to force me to decide the camp! You and I are both British knights, I wonder what you think? ”

Shao Yifu smiled bitterly and shook his head, as a film and television tycoon in Xiangjiang, Shao Yifu has a strong influence and appeal in Xiangjiang, and is naturally one of the key figures in the fight between China and Britain. Of course. Zhao Chen, Li Ren, Charter King, Guo Family, Huo Family, etc. are also their focus.

However, Shao Yifu is a little different, as a film and television tycoon, he has a cinema chain in his hands, and he also owns a wireless TV station, which has naturally become the most important target of Xinhua News Agency. The reason is simpler, as long as Shao Yifu is biased towards the Chinese side. At that time, the Chinese side will have a platform and portal to disseminate China's ideas and policies, which is undoubtedly very important to the Chinese side now.

Of course, in addition to TVB, the renamed Asia Television Station is also an important target for China.

"This is indeed a problem, but I have a choice, but I don't know if Shao Tycoon will take it then!"

As a descendant, Zhao Chen naturally knew the results of the Sino-British negotiations quite well. That is, in two years, the two sides will reach an agreement, and it will not be until 1997 that the two sides will officially return. It was because Zhao Chen didn't have to think about it to know which side he was leaning towards. As for the title of British knight, it is just a title for him, and it doesn't matter if he has it or not.

"Dust boy should hurry up, the old man should also refer to it!"

"Shao Tycoon, remember that the law is not passed on to the six ears, don't let the third person know after I finish speaking, otherwise I will be in trouble!"

Shao Yifu knows the importance of things. Nodding solemnly, even he didn't dare to let others know what he thought at will.

"Old man Jin Yong has always belonged to the right, but this time he is biased towards the Chinese side! Shao tycoon, if you think that Jin Yong is confused this time, you are very wrong, Jin Yong, this stingy ghost is cunning and tight, and he is not sure how can he favor the Chinese side so early! In addition to these, Li Jiacheng and Huo Daheng also received an interview with Deng Gong last year. Do you think they're confused too! ”

Zhao Chen did not directly state his opinion, but knocked on the side, using Jin Yong as an example.

"Could it be that Dustboy means to favor the Chinese side!"

Although Shao Yifu is old, his reaction is not slow. It's just that after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he became even more dignified. To be honest, his heart was biased towards the British side, originally he thought that Zhao Chen, as a new British knight, would also be biased towards the British side, but where did he think that it was fundamentally different from his thoughts.

From Shao Yifu's point of view, in fact, his choice is not wrong, one is that he is the first British knight in the Xiangjiang area, and this status has given him a lot of convenience; The second is the treasure island, in this era, the treasure island is the largest market for Hong Kong films, if it is biased towards Chinese TV stations and films, it will undoubtedly be blocked by the treasure island, which will bring great damage to Shao Yifu, which is the real point; Third, Shao Yifu will not predict the future, although he thinks that Xiangjiang is likely to return to China, but that is only speculation, not completely certain.

"Shao Tycoon, Ming people don't say secret words, you and I have known each other for three years, and I won't cheat you! Of course, I also know the biggest difficulty of Shao Daheng. Although the treasure island market is not small, it is still clear who is big and who is small compared with the Huaxia market, and this must be understood by Shao Tycoon! ”

"Understanding is understanding, but it's not the same thing to do! If it is biased towards the Chinese side, TVB and Shaw Brothers will definitely be greatly affected, and those star artists under it will have to leave one after another! At that time, I haven't been trampled on the soles of my feet by Asia TV! ”

Shao Yifu sighed, his heart was originally very entangled, but now after listening to Zhao Chen's words, he is undoubtedly even more entangled, and it is difficult to make a choice for a while.

"Tycoon Shao, isn't there another way! You can delay it for a year or two, and then there will definitely be a reply to the Sino-British negotiations! ”

"Alas, even so, it is not a way to drag on like this, both sides will be offended, and if it is neutral, it will not be able to obtain the maximum benefits."

For businessmen, the interests are the greatest, and as for whether they love the country or not, they are basically empty words, and there are a few who can take it seriously.

For example, Zhao Chen, in his previous life, he had no relatives, and he could only make ends meet after working hard, so where would he care about any national affairs, just running around for a living every day.

Of course, this life is different, today's Zhao Chen has a world-renowned cartoonist, a great pianist, a big entrepreneur, the youngest billionaire, a Hong Kong celebrity, a British jazz and a well-known screenwriter.

"Shao Tycoon, in the short term, the British side is indeed better, and it is not easy to be blocked by the treasure island! However, if it is based on the long-term situation, it is undoubtedly the Chinese side. It's up to you to choose, and it's hard for me to decide. However, if you want to reduce a lot of losses, you can re-sign a long-term contract with its artists after you go back, and set a high amount of liquidated damages, so that the biggest loss is only Treasure Island! However, presumably this loss, Shao Daheng is completely out. ”

As Zhao Chen said, how much money Shao Yifu's Shaw Brothers Pictures can make him every year is completely out of hobby, after all, he has been a filmmaker for so many years. However, Shao Yifu is always old, and his energy can't keep up, so that Shaw Brothers Pictures will begin to decline, even if Zhao Chen is in it, it will only be a return to the light.

As for TVB, Baodao is only the old three, and TVB can only broadcast secretly, and there is no loss at all.

Of course, if Shao Yifu loses his investment in China, he will inevitably be blocked by the treasure island, and the contracted artists of Shaw Brothers Pictures and TVB will definitely panic, which is the most worrying place. However, Zhao Chen's bad idea is not bad, as long as he signs a long-term contract and sets a high amount of liquidated damages, there are a few artists who can really break away from TVB. Of course, in the face of this kind of long-term contract, whether those artists will sign it is another matter, and maybe the wireless five tigers will resist again. However, the current Andy Lau has just debuted, and it will take another year or two in history to renew the contract.
