Chapter 264: An Unexpected Visitor
"Lao Zheng, you don't know about your fancy intestines? Isn't that just to make me a lobbyist for you? I did this, I'll call Xiao Wu now, and then ask him to come to my side, and you can just tell him directly when the time comes. I'll give you a squeeze on the side. Li Guangxin said with a smile.
"I'm relieved to have your words, mainly because your Xiaowu's business is too big now, and I have to take it seriously, if it comes to relationships, he still has to call me uncle. But my uncle has never dealt with him, if he doesn't give my uncle face, won't the old face be lost?
There's nothing wrong with me being embarrassed, but if I can't complete the above tasks, it's going to be a big problem. You don't know how highly the people above rate your Li family, even your eldest brother has been questioned by the people above, just because your Li family's status in Hong Kong is not ordinary, so they also attach great importance to it. Zheng Wenyun said with emotion.
"What's the use of having a high rating? If the old man is still here, then I'm still happy, but the old man is gone, what's the point of having an evaluation now? With the current level of our family, where can we not live well? Hearing Zheng Wenyun's words, Li Guangxin said not too much.
"It's not right for you to say that, the country is sorry for you sometimes, but the things of that year and month are not clear, and now you should be looking forward. How can you do it if you keep thinking about the past? After Zheng Wenyun heard Li Guangxin's words, he pretended to be angry and said.
Seeing Zheng Wenyun's appearance, Li Guangxin smiled and said: "It's useless for you to tell me, you have to tell my little five, my little five can be seen now, quite realistic." If you look at those bosses in Hong Kong, he still has to squeeze some oil out if he is useful to him, and if he is useless to him, you will know how hateful he is. It's okay to say to me, I can understand it, but if my little five can understand it, then I don't know, so when you talk to him, you must be strategic, otherwise, even I can't guarantee that he will do something. ”
As soon as Li Guangxin said this, Zheng Wenyun came back to his senses, and today it seems that it is not Li Guangxin in front of him, but Li Guangxin's son Li Mingbao, so he immediately changed his face: "You still have to carry it with Xiao Li, I understand." If there's something you haven't said later, remember to cover me. ”
So, after the two of them discussed, Li Guangxin called Li Mingbao and asked him to come to the villa immediately and tell him about something. Originally, Li Mingbao still wanted to drag it out, at least to finish the things at hand, right? But Dad's tone was quite resolute, and Li Mingbao had no choice but to drive home obediently.
After entering the house, Li Mingbao began to complain: "Dad, what's so urgent?" Don't you know how much I have on my hands right now? Originally, there were a bunch of things on the agency side, but now I've let the people below to get it, and recently I got a magazine with Pan Disheng, and I was still taking pictures of him yesterday. Originally, I was a little free today, and I was going to review the last two parts of "The Flood", but fortunately, it was sent out in Ming Pao, but you made a phone call, so that I have to work overtime again tonight.
Have mercy on me! It looks like the New Year is coming, and there are still a bunch of things in hand, and if you don't finish it, you won't have a good New Year. If there is anything to do today, you will make a long story short, I will arrange for these two days to do urgent matters, if you can slow down, then wait until after the Chinese New Year, I will deal with your affairs, and then go to the United States. ”
Li Mingbao babbled a lot, only to see that there was not only his father in the living room of the house, but also a middle-aged man dressed more rusticly.
Li Guangxin really didn't know that Li Mingbao still had so much work in his hands, in the past two years, Li Guangxin has been completely idle, and the work in the family is basically done by the boss, as for Xiao Wu, that is, Li Mingbao's work, Li Guangxin didn't take much care of it. After all, although he is also a family scholar, when it comes to his old business, his old man was also born in movies back then, but the problem is that he will not do this thing at home after that, and Li Guangxin has not received any education in this area, and this industry is also changing with each passing day, and Li Guangxin can't understand a lot of things that Li Mingbao has done.
So after learning some things before, Li Guangxin no longer paid attention to it, and it happened that Zheng Wenyun came over today to say that things on the mainland were somewhat settled, and that he still needed investment, so Li Guangxin remembered Li Mingbao, so he called him. But he really didn't know that Li Mingbao was so busy, so he asked with some curiosity.
"Why do you have so much on your hands? Isn't it just a movie? As for doing so many side hustles? And what kind of agency do you have, and you have to go to the United States, what kind of mess are you doing now? Isn't it good to make a good movie? If you have to do so many things for yourself, you're just asking for it. ”
Seeing that his father didn't have much fluctuation in front of this person, Li Mingbao no longer paid attention, so he explained: "I also want to make some money by making movies, how easy it must be." But the problem is that this can't last long. I got an agent company in order to control the actor resources so that I wouldn't be stuck in this regard. As for writing novels, they are not written in vain, and if I need film material in the future, I can still find them in my novels.
As for the magazine with Pan Disheng, this is looking for business for the brokerage company, increasing the influence of the industry by the way, and forming a diversified development direction. I went to the United States, first, to transfer the money over there, Dad, don't you know, the money that the company over there is making now, but there are tens of millions of dollars, so much money is left to hang over there, what a waste of it? It just so happens that I have been short of money in Hong Kong recently, and the money in Standard Chartered Bank has almost been drained of the money in the loan, so I will make some supplements from there. The other thing is that I want to copy the agency in Hollywood and work with Twentieth Century Fox to make us work a little bit closer.
So Dad, don't look at me now as if I am doing things with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, but in fact, everything has the necessity for me to do, if it is unnecessary, I will let others do it, just like me and Pan Disheng The guy is also going to open a garment factory, and the profits in it are also very large, but I only pay dividends and do nothing, because this company is not too necessarily related to the industry I am doing now. ”
"What? You've made tens of millions of dollars more in Hollywood? When? Could it be that the movie "True Colors of Heroes" broke 100 million at the box office in Hollywood? How did I not know? Hearing that Li Mingbao had another tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood, Li Guangxin was taken aback.
Not only was Li Guangxin taken aback, but even Zheng Wenyun, who was listening to the conversation between Li Mingbao and Li Guangxin, was taken aback. Think about it, even if the mainland can settle down with $10 million in investment, it will be able to be received by the central leadership. But Li Mingbao earned at least tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood, and the gap is unimaginable.
His father's surprise, in Li Mingbao's expectations, that is, he was able to make so much money over there. changed to another person, even Zou Wenhuai definitely didn't have that ability. The money Li Mingbao made was the profit of the niche market over there.
Since there are not many people who pay attention to this market now, Li Mingbao has taken a big advantage, but Li Mingbao believes that such a lucrative day will not last long, at most half a year or a year, more people will enter this market, and only God knows whether DreamWorks can still make so much money at that time.
Of course, it's not that you won't be able to make money like this in the future, but it's more difficult, such as developing the video tape market a lot, and then cooperating with Europe and the like, so that you won't be able to make money in North America as easily as you do now.
"Where is it so easy, a movie with all Asian faces, even if it is filmed well, the box office on the Hollywood side will not be too high. That movie is now in the works, grossing more than $35 million. What I can get is about more than 10 million US dollars, which does not account for the majority of the box office, but the movie "The True Color of Heroes" has made a lot of money.
The real big deal over there is actually the money I make from the movies made by a film company I own over there. The income of the big screen is about 30 million US dollars, but the real money for that kind of movie is still on the videotape, and the total income of the current movies on the videotape may be able to exceed 100 million, but now it has only earned more than 20 million US dollars, and the income after that may be recovered within half a year. After Li Mingbao sat down by himself, he slowly explained to his father.
Although there was an outsider present, Li Mingbao didn't mind giving his father a little bit of a foundation. After all, these things are all things on the surface, as long as others have the heart to check it, they can find out, so Li Mingbao is also very generous.
It's just that Li Mingbao said it generously, but he scared Zheng Wenyun on the side so much that he almost had a heart attack. In those days, the mainland's foreign intelligence work was not very good, especially commercial intelligence, which was completely incomparable with that of the Japanese, whose commercial intelligence was basically shared between big conglomerates and the government, so as long as they wanted to check something that was not too secret, they could immediately get accurate things.
But the mainland is different, even if the mainland has energy now, it is also aimed at military and political intelligence, as for commercial intelligence, it is not that no one checks, but the people who check are all veterans, Li Mingbao's current net worth is not worth the relationship between the above, after all, their manpower is not much, it is already troublesome enough to check the top group of people, and then check people like Li Mingbao, there is not enough manpower at all.
Therefore, the information that Zheng Wenyun got was only the information on Li Mingbao's face, such as the money in Standard Chartered Bank, as for Li Mingbao's new income, maybe he would get such news in the future, but at least for now, he doesn't know yet. Suddenly heard that Li Mingbao had made tens of millions of dollars in the past six months, how could Zheng Wenyun withstand it? That's not a small amount of money.
I thought that Li Mingbao was making money in Hollywood, and he was just getting a vote and leaving, but no one thought that Li Mingbao would have a fixed income there, and this discrepancy was enough to make many previously prepared plans useless. Even the current Zheng Wenyun doesn't know what kind of attitude to take towards Li Mingbao.
