Xiao Nianqi has recently returned from Beijing, and Hong Kong has always held a high place in Beijing's eyes. Since the reform and opening up in 78 years, more than ninety percent of the funds invested by Western society in the mainland have been completed through branches and institutions set up in Hong Kong, which has led to the fact that the scale of the Bank of China Group in the north may not be as large as the three major central banks such as agriculture, construction, and ICBC, but now its influence is only high. After the political storm in 89, the senior management of the Bank of China frequently had to go back to Beijing to report on their work, and when the New Year was approaching, they encountered Lin Xiaozhi's incident, Xiao Nianqi had to go back in person, and he just came back two days ago.

"Mr. Lin, last time you put forward a few intentions to buy shares. Our Bank of China has conveyed this time to Beijing on our behalf, and at the same time contacted our colleagues in Shenzhen, "In principle, Beijing has approved this matter, but there may be some requirements in small aspects"

Glancing at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression, Xiao Nianqi had to admit that capital is really a very magical thing. When he left Hong Kong, although Lin Xiaozhi's Media Asia released rumors of listing, it was not listed after all. But I don't want to go for less than a month, and when I come back, it will be a thing. When he returned to Hong Kong, he learned from Song Lihui, chairman of the Bank of China, that after the listing of the industry Media Asia Group, the market value of Media Asia had skyrocketed to more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in less than a month.

Since the 80s, although Hong Kong has abound with billionaires and some large enterprises with a market value of billions, most of them have been built by family generations. Like Lin Xiaozhi's miracle that has grown in just a few years, there are not many in the whole of Hong Kong.

If it is said that Lin Xiaozhi before could only 'take advantage of the danger of others, he entered the field of vision of the high-level in the mainland. So now Xiao Nianqi and they have to face up to a problem, the current Lin Xiaozhi does not have much financial resources or influence, looking at the whole of Hong Kong, and he just happens to represent the will of an industry.

Isn't a young and promising Hong Kong elite who is close to the mainland government the most eager candidate for the mainland to woo? This time when he returned to Beijing, he was personally questioned by an old man who had withdrawn from high-level recuperation, but still maintained an amazing influence on the entire mainland, and reminded him many times to have more contact with Lin Xiaozhi.

"Has Beijing agreed? That's great......"

What does it mean to be in pain and happy, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly understood the meaning of this word.

Although the toothache was still stimulating his sensory nerves, when Xiao Nianqi, the president of the Bank of China, who was sitting across from him, heard that Beijing had approved his intention to buy shares, he was so excited that he almost forgot that his toothache was in full swing.

Approval in principle means approval, and Lin Xiaozhi, who is conservative in Beijing, understands it to some extent. After all, the current situation on the mainland is really very chaotic, not that it is in terms of people's livelihood, in fact, by the end of the 90s, the mainland has basically adapted to the depression after the withdrawal of a large number of Western investments. The peculiarities of the planned economic system have caused no major pain in the whole country, and there has been basically no change except for the fact that there are fewer chickens, ducks, and fish on the table of every household during the Chinese New Year than in previous years. The common people of China are pragmatic people, and as long as they have a bite to eat, they can endure the hardships of life.

However, the political storm and impact of the previous year had a huge impact on Sijiu City and Zhongnanhai. As a result, in the past two years, voices have abounded to talk about reform, and even voices have emerged that completely reject the 10-year reform and demand that the state completely abandon the market economy and return to the era of a fully state-planned economy.

Hong Kong has played a very disgraceful image in the past 89 years, not to mention the solidarity with the people and the attacks on the mainland that the media and celebrities have never stopped. Even in the past two years, the powerful Hong Kong businessmen headed by Li Ka-shing have been constantly using their capital to exert political pressure on the mainland, forcing the mainland to make further concessions on core issues such as the political system. For this reason, among the investment funds withdrawn from the mainland, Hong Kong businessmen's funds also play an extremely disgraceful image. The slight hostility and distrust of all strata in Hong Kong has further exacerbated the murmur in Sijiu City, where a Hong Kong person suddenly released his intention to take a stake in mainland enterprises, two of which are invested by local governments, and the other two are involved in the financial sector, both of which are relatively sensitive.

Lin Xiaozhi has no doubt that if he had not asked the Bank of China to wait for him to convey to Beijing, 'some people in Hong Kong cannot represent the whole of Hong Kong, but some of the people I represent are still very confident in the return to the motherland.' If Beijing allows it, I hope that some of the people I represent will be able to go north to communicate with their counterparts on the mainland, and they will almost be shaken out of their pro-North position, and I am afraid that his intention to buy shares will not succeed before Deng Gong's southern tour.

As for the restrictions, this was originally expected by Lin Xiaozhi. Now that he has just experienced a wave of withdrawal from Western society, coupled with the distrust of his Hong Kong identity in the north, there will be some restrictions.

"Yes, but in terms of the specific intention to buy shares, Mr. Lin will have to negotiate with several companies by himself at that time. We have already informed the local government that we will not obstruct it, but I also hope that Mr. Lin, you will understand some of the differences between the mainland and Hong Kong systems......"

Previously, Lin Xiaozhi proposed that he could resell a large amount of gold spot in his hand to the Bank of China, but when he put forward two requirements, Xiao Nianqi and they felt that this person was afraid that he had other plans. Therefore, after relaying the matter to Beijing by phone, the Bank of China also asked Guangdong and Shenzhen to inquire about the origin of the four companies he proposed. After all, although the mainland implements a planned economy, in order to meet the needs of a country with a population of more than one billion, there are 80,000 state-owned enterprises of all kinds, not 100,000, but 80,000, of which only a few are under the direct leadership of the central government and various ministries and commissions, and more are supervised by various provinces and local governments. Among the four companies proposed by Lin Xiaozhi, except for the Bank of China of Shenzhen丨Development Bank, they have heard of it, and the other three do not know about it.

As a result, after a few days of investigation in Guangdong and Shenzhen, a few people from the Bank of China settled down and found that the four companies that Lin Xiaozhi proposed to invest in not only had no relevance, but also none of them involved the mainland's red line. Although the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is still only in trial operation, the Bank of China knows that in order to attract capital from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to invest in the mainland, the Bank of China has planned to allow listed companies to issue H shares and raise funds, that is to say, it does not oppose Hong Kong capital to invest in the mainland. As for Ping An Insurance, it is only a small insurance company that has been established for a few years on the edge of Shenzhen, and although Beijing has some hesitation on the issue of Hong Kong capital taking shares, it has finally approved it.

As for Zhongshan Xiaobawang and Sanshui Jianlibao, although they are two of the few brands in the mainland, one produces toys and the other sells drinks, Beijing is still happy to introduce foreign capital to expand local enterprises, but it does not mind giving up part of the shares, and directly approved it.

As a result, after researching, both the Bank of China and Beijing felt that Lin Xiaozhi's intention was not just to invest in these four companies, especially after he asked the Bank of China to convey that sentence to Beijing on his behalf, it had been affirmed that he was a drunkard and did not want to drink, and the four companies he threw out were probably just to test the mainland's attitude.

As soon as Xiao Nianqi finished speaking, Lin Xiaozhi did not forget to justify himself, "Of course, we are investing in business, so we will naturally abide by some rules of the mainland." ”

After lightly answering a question about the shareholding of several enterprises, he immediately changed the topic, saying: "Hong Kong's return to the motherland is a matter of time, although in the past few years, some changes have taken place in the mainland, causing many Hong Kong people to have some doubts about Beijing's policies, but there are still many people who still maintain confidence in the return to Beijing and Beijing." I myself have always been very optimistic about Deng Gong's reform and opening up, and I heard that Deng Gong is now retired, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit him in the future."

He deliberately downplayed the four companies he wanted to invest in, deliberately showed a non-urgent look, and made Xiao Nianqi believe Beijing's analysis, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Deng Gong's reform and opening up has indeed brought amazing changes to the mainland, although he is retired, but now his body is still strong, if Mr. Lin has time to go to Beijing to play, I can help introduce it"

Even if the central leaders are retired, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can easily visit. Lin Xiaozhi grew up in the mainland in his previous life and knew this. Hearing Xiao Nianqi pat his chest and promise to introduce him on his behalf, he was a little surprised by the other party's energy.

However, it also made him realize the opportunity. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked coldly: "I don't know what the answer is to the sentence I asked Mr. Xiao to convey to Beijing on your behalf?" ”

Xiao Nianqi was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Xiaozhi fixedly, and replied after a while: "Beijing asked me to tell Mr. Lin that you are welcome friends at any time in Beijing."

As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Xiaozhi immediately smiled and bent his eyebrows.

Time has entered January, and Hong Kong's 9l annual New Year stalls have kicked off. Different from last year's cold winter, this year's Chinese New Year stalls in Hong Kong can be described as prosperous and lively. Yongsheng's "Gambler", which was released at the end of December last year, was released from 90 to 9l, and the Xiang brothers are becoming more and more adaptable to the rules of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Although the box office was retained in the 1990 data according to the Hong Kong cinema screening rules, it undoubtedly made a good start for the enthusiastic Yongsheng. Later, another film "Tricky Expert" filmed by Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua for Yongsheng was a hit at the box office as soon as it was released, creating a box office of more than 8 million in just one week, although the film critics criticized Liu Dehua's acting skills in the movie, and the famous film critic Li Taiyao was even more disappointed: "The limelight of Birch Tsai was completely suppressed by Xingzai, which I actually found out in "The Gambler". He is not suitable for acting in comedies, and I suggest that Hua Tsai should not take on comedies in the future, which will ruin the acting skills he honed in "Red Alert" "But no one can deny that the Hong Kong Chinese New Year file in January is the most dazzling in "Tricky Expert".

Media Asia has prepared three movies for this summer, two of which are from Debao and one from New Asia. The two films launched by Debao are "Central Heroes" and "Fortune and Fortune", both of which are small-budget grassroots dramas. Xian Qiran is a fast knife player, it is said that he once set a record of completing a movie in 17 days and launching the release, and the "Fortune and Auspiciousness" filmed by him was scheduled to be released in late January, although the scenery was all pressed down by "Tricky Expert", but it still won 400,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office in the first week of release, which made Media Asia more satisfied, after all, this is just a small-budget comedy with an investment of several million.

"Heroes of Central" is also a low-budget movie, and its release time was eight days later than "Fortune and Fortune", but the box office data handed over in the first week was bleaker than that of "Fortune and Fortune", and only the first week box office of U million Hong Kong dollars even affected the stock price of Media Asia, which made it go lower after the opening of the next day, and the stock price fell slightly.

However, January is just an appetizing schedule, whether it is New Asia's "Color is Empty" or Golden Harvest's "Flying Eagle Strategy" has been scheduled to be released in February, and Mu is ready to fight to the death in February. Considering that the third-level rating of "Color is Empty" is limited, "Color is Empty" is congenitally weaker than "Flying Eagle Strategy", Liu Zhenwei's "Truant Dragon" has begun to speed up filming, and it is not surprising that it will relay "Color is Empty" at the end of March to snipe Golden Harvest's recent increasingly aggressive momentum.

In the 199L New Year file, Huanya, Jiahe, and Yongsheng came and went, and the swords and swords played so chicly. However, the new art city, which was supposed to make a move, was unexpectedly silent this year.

This is not surprising, although Lei Qizheng has suddenly taken the lead recently, taking the opportunity of Shi Tian's position, he resold the shares in his hand to Huang Baiming at a low price, and the conflict between Mecca and Huang Baiming in the three giants of the new art city was temporarily mediated at the cost of his own loss of several million, and then the news was released, Princess Jin once again injected 40 million Hong Kong dollars into the new art city for filming, and injected another 20 million Hong Kong dollars three months later, so that the new art city that was on the verge of suspension was rejuvenated.

It's just that the sinking of the new art city has been too long. After the conflict was mediated, when Mecca and Huang Baiming finally sat down to seriously tidy up the new art city, they realized what kind of mess they were in front of now.

Affected by the continuous infighting among the three giants of New Art City, the seven-member group that New Art City relied on to suppress Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in the early years was disbanded. Zeng Zhiwei left to build his own film company, Teddy Robin occasionally took on a few bad movies, most of the time he was engaged in bands and concert tours, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng left to establish Xu Ke Studio Company, and Shi Tian sold his shares to Xu Ke last year After selling his shares to Xu Ke, he has completely cut off the relationship between Xu Ke Studio Company and their new art city.

Wu Yusen is gone, Zhou Runfa is gone, Zheng Zeshi is gone, Ye Weixin is gone, Gao Zhisen has built another company, Xu Ke Studio Company has been sold, and Xinyibao Records has been sold......

After the contradiction was resolved, Mecca and Huang Baiming, who calmed down, found that in the past few years, they had greatly damaged the vitality of Xinyicheng because of their anger, fighting for power and profit with each other, and even hurting the interests of the company. At this time, in the eyes of the outside world, they are still expected to compete for the leading position in the Hong Kong film industry, but in fact, they are only left with the surface of the glamour, and if they want to restore their strength at their peak, it is difficult to develop without two or three years of full development.

Therefore, in this year's Chinese New Year file, they can only give up and watch the trio of Media Asia, Golden Harvest and Yongsheng compete for hegemony, silently contact the old department, silently invite scripts from the intersecting screenwriters and directors, and wait for another blockbuster in this year's summer file, announcing to the Hong Kong film industry that the new art city is back.

"Brother Fa, how is the filming of "Across the Seas"?"

"It's almost over, how can Lin Sheng have time to call me, do you want to invite me to drink two drinks?"

"Hehe, as long as you have time, I will accompany you at any time"

"That's decided, after the movie is finished, I'm going to eat a big family"

"Okay, by the way, Brother Fa, is there time in early March, I'm going to go north to the mainland, and I want to invite more people in the circle to ...... together."

"Go north to the mainland...... Okay, you can call me when the time is confirmed."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Fa"

Hanging up the phone call with Zhou Yan, Lin Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was already very thick.

Since he received a message from Xiao Nianqi, the president of the Bank of China, a week ago, that Beijing welcomed his move to form a group to go north, he has been busy, and he has been continuously sending invitations to people in the circle for the past week.

How to say it in a crooked sentence, going north is a skill, and it is really easy to take on this job without some ability. After finding someone to investigate the situation of the Hong Kong delegation to Beijing in the past ten years, Lin Xiaozhi has realized that what he thought was full of preparation was far from enough.

In his previous opinion, this time the northward trip is not so much a representation of the Hong Kong film industry and the entertainment industry, but rather a walk of his Lin Xiaozhi's Huan Asia. The presidents of the companies under the name of the Media Asia Department are going to go, and dozens of artists and directors from New Asia and Debao will also pick out some who have a certain reputation to go together. However, after comparing the lineup of the team that went north in Hong Kong over the years, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly felt that except for the two teams in the Hong Kong education sector that were not as good as him, the rest of the teams in terms of social influence and scale far exceeded his original plan to lead the team to the north.

Having personally experienced the political turmoil of the past few years, he is well aware of the external environment in which the mainland is now located. Most of the revolutionaries of the older generation have retired, and the position of the newly appointed No. 1 chief has not yet stabilized, and if it were not for Deng Gong's efforts to push the political situation on the mainland, it is likely that the political situation on the mainland would have been chaotic for a period of time, which is also one of the reasons why the red-top tycoon Huo Yingdong has been lobbying in Hong Kong, hoping to invite Li Jiacheng and other Chinese businessmen to go north. To put it bluntly, I also want to wave the flag and shout for the No. 1 leader, who has just come to the stage and is still unstable, to support the scene.

Politics is too complicated, and it's really not something that Lin Xiaozhi can play. But he has recently discovered that he has done business to the point where he is, and he is still located in Hong Kong, which is about to return to the motherland, and it is really not good to understand politics.
