Volume 1 Chapter 359 The Coming of the Bank of China (II)
"Lei Sheng, it's not that I don't give face to Mecca. It's just that just because I give face doesn't mean that some people give me face too...
Mecca squinted at Huang Baiming, whose complexion had returned to normal, and said sarcastically.
The battle between the three giants of the new art city, strictly speaking, should be the contradiction between him and Huang Baiming, because since the RR year, he can't fight hard, and Shi Tian, who is not as good as Huang Baiming in terms of connections and influence, has withdrawn from the center of the storm in a low-key manner, and has invested most of his energy in the real estate market to speculate in real estate, especially after he made a lot of money in Macau property speculation at the end of 89, since the middle of last year, Yu Jian has even had less time to go to the company.
In the past, it was better when Shi Tian was there, at least most of the time he watched Huang Baiming fight with Mecca, and occasionally reconciled. But since he didn't do anything, the fight between the two in Xinyicheng has become more and more intense, and by the end of last year, the two each pulled a group of people to film outside, and Mecca promoted the cutting-edge director Lin Lingdong to shoot the cloud series, earning a lot of private money for his own pocket. And Huang Baiming's family New Year comedy has strengthened the influence of him and his confidant Gao Zhisen, and it is the strongest money-grabbing machine during the Chinese New Year.
The two have been in trouble until now, and the new art city has reached the verge of discontinuation. With the slightest push from someone, it has the potential to fall apart. And the reason for this, strictly speaking, the new art city today is still the bane planted by Lei Juekun back then.
The years 7880 can be said to be an important turning point in the Hong Kong film industry. It is in the past few years that Hong Kong films, which have overrelied on traditional kung fu films, have come out of the painful period after the loss of Bruce Lee, and have successfully explored a new set of film routines that are different from hard horses, that is, the introduction of witty elements that have endured for more than ten years. The predecessor of Xinyicheng Film Company, 'Struggle Film Company', was jointly established by Mecca in 19RU by inviting two friends, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming.
After the establishment of Struggle Pictures, the three of them relied on their respective relationships to bring in Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Teddy Robin and Zeng Zhiwei to form a team of seven. Relying on the collective efforts, Endeavor Pictures quickly became an instant hit, filming a number of popular movies one after another, successfully attracting the attention of Kowloon tycoon - Lei Juekun, and spending 100 million Hong Kong dollars in shares for three years, and Endeavor Pictures was reorganized into a new art city.
The composition of the shares of Xinyicheng is not complicated but it is very complicated, Lei Juekun wanted to spend a huge amount of money to buy it at the beginning of his ownership, but he was boycotted by the three giants, especially Mecca, who resisted the most resolutely. He used the method of breaking down one by one, focusing on winning over Shi Tian, who did not oppose or support Lei Juekun's capital injection, and gave his 19 company shares. At the same time, after some negotiations, they finally agreed to the strongest Mecca demand, and the two set up a joint venture company called 'Hong Kong Film City', and jointly held the shares of New Arts City (the shares of the cinema are Golden Princess 5, Mecca 49.
After some negotiations, the most ironic scene was that Huang Baiming, who agreed to introduce Lei Juekun capital to strengthen himself, but hoped that the management of the company was still in the hands of the three people. I'm afraid Lei Juekun himself didn't expect that his 'superb, capital play' has buried irreconcilable contradictions for Xinyicheng.
Mecca was so faceless, Lei Qizheng's eyelids twitched, and the anger in his heart rose, and he couldn't help but feel even more bad for him. He has been sorting out the assets under Princess Jin's name in the past few days, and even the contradictions with the three giants of Xinyi City have been straightened out by him. In his opinion, the most valuable asset of the Golden Princess may be the Golden Princess Cinemas, but the one with the most potential to boost the company's stock price after listing is none other than New Art City. In other words, if the troubles of Xinyicheng are not settled, his share of the Golden Princess's listing circle money plan is not very feasible, or it is not an exaggeration at all. Because Huang Baiming is allowed to fight with Mecca again, it will be a matter of time before Xinyicheng is suspended. Although there is a lot of money in the Hong Kong stock market, it does not mean that shareholders are stupid.
His eyes swept over several people in turn, Wu Zhaocan still looked at the teacup in front of him intently, and Shi Tian looked up at the ceiling, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him. Huang Baiming's face was as usual, as if he hadn't heard Mecca's sarcasm just now, but if he looked carefully, he would find that the green tendons on his hand holding the teacup had flare-up, and he was obviously holding a breath of anger in his heart.
"A few ......" Lei Qizheng frowned, his fingers clicked on the conference table, and he could see that the master's mood began to deteriorate: "There are contradictions that can be adjusted, today I invite you to discuss how to make the company develop better. Although I have only only come into contact with the Hong Kong film industry, I also know that several major companies under the company, whether it is Debao or New Asia, are all new companies that have only been established in recent years, and they are far less than the brand influence of our Golden Princess and New Art City...... So I'm curious, what can Media Asia do, what can't we do for it? ”
Is the fox's tail finally revealed?
Hearing that he finally mentioned Huanya impatiently, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian, who had a good relationship, glanced at each other, made eye contact with each other, and then glanced vaguely at Mecca, who was sneering at the corners of his mouth, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly returned to dead silence.
It's better not to speak than to go-for-tat, Lei Qizheng was obviously very satisfied with this effect, and was about to continue, but he unexpectedly heard Wu Zhaocan's surprise: "What does Lei Sheng mean, is he preparing to let Princess Jin go public?" ”
Xinyicheng is a subsidiary of the Golden Princess, and the issuance relies heavily on the Golden Princess, so if the company wants to go public, it can only be the Golden Princess.
Several lines of sight fell on him, Lei Qizheng hooked an arc at the corner of his mouth, and his mood looked better, "Yes, there was no concept of entertainment stocks in the Hong Kong stock market earlier, but after the listing of Media Asia, the financial community began to focus on the Hong Kong film industry......
Halfway through the words, not only did Mecca raise her eyebrows, but even Huang Baiming and Shi Tian's faces changed invisibly. Hong Kong's film industry is too small to be taken seriously in Hong Kong. In recent years, there has been a lot of inflow of Japanese and South Korean funds and local black money, but Hong Kong's local capital rarely favors the film industry. This situation has changed slightly with the listing of Media Asia. The profit-seeking nature of capital makes them flock to it when they see that it is profitable, so Lei Qizheng, who has never looked at people correctly, began to sort out Princess Jin, and someone from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange asked him if Princess Jin had a listing plan.
"Lei Sheng wants to go public, it's hard to ......" After getting his fixed answer, Wu Zhaocan shook his head and stopped talking.
It's really difficult, and it's a trouble that New Art City is not a fully controlled subsidiary of Golden Princess. Even if this is settled, the contradiction between the three giants of the new art city cannot be properly resolved, and once this time bomb is detonated, it will be the day when the new art city will be discontinued.
However, Lei Qizheng has obviously made a decision, the same as his father's decision. He also took the lead in looking at Shi Tian, who had already half-withdrawn from the storm circle, and asked: "I heard that Shi Sheng has rarely come to the company in the past six months, and even sold the shares of Xu Ke Studio Company in his hand, and is ready to completely leave the film industry to invest in the real estate market, right?" ”
Shi Tian was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and nodded in admittion: "Not bad"
In the past few years, the three giants of Xinyicheng have continued to fight and work hard, plus Mecca has supported Lin Lingdong to shoot many movies and make a lot of money, Huang Baiming has Gao Zhisen to help him make films, and he has also produced classics one after another, but he has invested in many movies in the past few years, either losing money or barely recovering his roots, which has long made his enthusiasm for movies scattered, plus he has made a lot of money in the real estate market in recent years, and it is already a semi-finalized fact to leave the film industry.
Lei Qizheng smiled when he heard this, stared at him with his eyes and asked, "Then Shi Sheng, if I am willing to pay money to buy the shares of Xinyicheng in your hand in private, I guess you will not refuse......
As soon as his words fell, the eyes of the four Shi Tian fell on him, as rebellious as Mecca, as smart as Huang Baiming, and for a while he couldn't figure out what he was thinking
"This ......" Feeling a few lines of sight falling on him, Shi Tian hesitated a little. I bowed my head and thought for a while before making a decision: "As long as the price is right, sell it."
I heard that Lei Qizheng revealed his plan to let Princess Jin go public, and to be honest, he Shi Tian was indeed a little moved. It's just that after his eyes stayed on Huang Baiming and Mecca, who were sitting on the left and right sides of him, for a while, he dispelled a little greed. He knows very well how deep the contradictions between these two lords have accumulated, and after the three giants have been fighting in the past few years, the two of them have even done all the martial arts, but it is not Lei Qizheng's sentence. If I save face, I can mediate.
Mecca twitched, looked at the old friend next to her who had made the decision to leave the film industry, and the right fist on the table was clenched and loosened, and the bones crackled for a while, but she didn't speak. However, Huang Baiming's face darkened directly, and he patted him on the shoulder with a long sigh, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Mecca on the other side of Shi Tian. Coincidentally, he didn't expect his eyes to move over at this time, and the two looked at each other for a while, and they both saw the nostalgia and sentimentality that flashed in each other's eyes, although they both turned around quickly, and the smell of gunpowder was a little lighter
Lei Qizheng didn't care about the three of them being sentimental, as soon as he heard that Shi Tian promised to sell it. Suddenly, the smile became a little thicker, "That's good, after the meeting is over, I will talk to Shi Sheng about this matter." ”
His act of wishing that Shi Tian would get out of here quickly made Mecca on the side a little dissatisfied, and snorted: "What, Lei Sheng is still worried about the shares of our new art city?" Do you want me to sell you my own bit too? ”
His soft words and hard sarcasm made Lei Qizheng's displeasure with him a little heavier, and his smile narrowed after glancing at him, and said lightly: "I heard that there are some disputes between several high-level executives in Xinyi City, I said at the beginning of today's meeting, I am here to reconcile." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Huang Baiming, and his eyes were a little softened, obviously he appreciated Huang Baiming's gentleness more than the unruly and aggressive Mecca. At the moment, he asked: "Shi Sheng has 19 Yicheng shares in his hands, no matter what price he sells to me, I promise to sell this part of the shares of Xinyicheng to Director Huang at a lower price, but I don't know if Director Huang is interested?"
"What?"
For a moment, not only Huang Baiming was stunned, but even Wu Zhaocan, Shi Tian, and Mecca on the side were speechless.
Wu Zhaocan is okay, although he is the president of Princess Jin and Lei Juekun's confidant, he is just a professional manager with an annual salary of one million. It's just that the other two are different, as soon as they heard Lei Qizheng open his mouth, he suddenly promised to buy the shares in his hand and then sell them to Huang Baiming at a lower price, and his attitude of not hesitating to lose money instantly made Shi Tian have the idea of staying. And Mecca's reaction was even more violent, and he stood up excitedly, almost subconsciously wanting to object. But when the words came to his lips, his head suddenly cleared up, and he realized that this might be a good thing.
The disagreement between the three giants of Xinyi City is the bane left by Lei Juekun earlier, and the reason for this is the uneven distribution of interests between the three of them. After the introduction of the major shareholder of Princess Jin, he alone held more shares than Shi Tian and Huang Baiming combined, but the two of them paid no less to the new art city than him, especially Huang Baiming is the most tired one in the new art city, it is inevitable that his heart is unbalanced, which has caused continuous conflicts. This time, if Lei Qizheng is willing to suffer, after Shi Tian is out, he will take the lead in selling the shares in his hand to Huang Baiming. This does not require him to spend a penny, and it can calm Huang Baiming's dissatisfaction, and at the same time, Huang Baiming's shares have only increased from 9 to P%, which cannot threaten his position in the company. Why not do it
In an instant, a myriad of thoughts crossed her mind, and Mecca's face was gloomy for a while, and she sat back down without saying a word.
Lei Qizheng was always staring at him, seeing his silence, he had already guessed Mecca's decision, the smile on his face was even thicker, and he urged Huang Baiming to ask, "Director Huang, what do you mean?" ”
"This ......" Huang Baiming was so overjoyed for a moment that he didn't even notice that his glasses were crooked. Sensing that everyone's eyes fell on him, he suppressed his excitement, stared at his old friend Shi Tian next to him and said, "If Ah Tian really decides to sell the shares of Xinyicheng and leaves, then I am willing to take over."
He looked at Shi Tian, and Shi Tian was also looking at him. Wen Yan smiled slightly, nodded and agreed. The years that had just come out of place were quickly dispelled by him. Shi Tian had already understood Lei Qizheng's intentions, and his so-called plan to mediate the infighting among the high-level of Xinyi City was completely based on his own departure. In other words, if he doesn't leave, the contradictions in Xinyicheng cannot really be mediated.
I have to go
He smiled freely, although he had guessed that such a day would come when he was tired of the internal strife in Xinyicheng and sold the shares of Xu Ke's studio, but even he didn't expect that his departure might solve the problem of infighting in Xinyicheng.
"Very good, then let's talk about the plan to reorganize Princess Jin and Xinyicheng......
The changes in the situation, stimulated by the myth of Media Asia's listing, have also begun to be surging and lively in the Hong Kong film industry.
However, Lin Xiaozhi obviously did not know that his butterfly flapped its wings and brought a sensation to the Hong Kong film industry. While the outside world was still making a fuss about the listing of Media Asia Group, he was in his office in the Bank of Kowloon Building, receiving some friends.
