Chapter 787: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Kim Ru-jin graduated from Ewha Womans University and joined SBS (Seoul Broadcasting Corporation Television) as an artist after graduation. South Korea's film and television industry is already fiercely competitive because of the narrow market, and since the establishment of Hanjiang Satellite TV, it has become a standout, and it can be called fiercely competitive.
In order to get ahead, coupled with the difficulty of living in Seoul and the instigation of agents and friends, Kim Ruzhen inevitably learned from her predecessors, and joined the ranks of female artists who fished for external blocks half-pushed and half-on-the-spot. It's just that Yang Guozhong's guy, unlike the rich Korean people she has come into contact with, respects her more and acts generously, plus the two have a relatively high cultural level, and in addition to the physical relationship, they have also developed a friendship.
In order to win Sun Ziming's trust, Jin Ruzhen explained her relationship with Yang Guozhong clearly, and then said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun, I heard Minister Shen of the Ministry of Culture of Samsung Group say that the government will introduce policies to support the cultural industry and encourage the construction of cinemas and the production of film and television dramas. Samsung Group will enter the theater chain and compete directly with the Hangang Group and CJ Corporation's Star Convergence Cinema Line. He also said that they are in talks with Hong Kong ATVs to buy a stake in ATVs and distribute Korean dramas to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets. β
Sun Ziming's eyes narrowed, staring at Jin Ruzhen, and he didn't notice anything unusual about her, this news should be true. ATV has overwhelmed TVB and Hong Kong Satellite TV in recent years, and even Li Zekai's Starlight Media has begun to sit on an equal footing with it, and their Lin family is not as rich as the Li family to support it. Now that Samsung Group has thrown an olive branch, it is not to snatch the control of the TV station, will their Lin family disagree?
Picking up the cigarette case next to him, Sun Ziming refilled his cigarette and said quietly: "Is there anything else?" I've heard of Shin Yongjun, who won the Blue Dragon Award in '69 and '73, and became the president of SBS drama production company in '92. Now let Samsung Group solicit the past, it should be more than this means, right? β
Sun Ziming's kindness to Shen Yongjun scared Jin Ruzhen, a little artist, and he hurriedly tried his best to recall, and said uncertainly for a while: "I was also a little drunk that day, and I only heard someone next to me say that since you can buy shares in ATV, you can go overseas to buy shares in other TV stations and theaters." β
This is the real bottom of the kettle, Sun Ziming was shocked! Although Taiwan and Southeast Asia prohibit non-local consortia from owning television stations, they do not prohibit foreign consortia from taking shares. If Koreans follow this path and become shareholders of various TV stations and theaters, their film and television drama distribution channels will naturally be opened.
Don't think Koreans can't do it, 'Memory' CJ Co., Ltd.'s CGV Star Gathering Star Cinema Line is one of the major cinema operators in Chinese mainland, with more than 100 movie theaters under its umbrella. Samsung Group is much stronger than CJ, and if they enter the film and television industry at the behest of the Korean government, they will easily have access to independent overseas distribution channels. At present, South Korea's film and television industry has not developed, in addition to its own level still needs to be improved, the more important reason is that it has not received full attention and support from the government.
After a little hesitation, Sun Ziming quietly piled up a polite smile, took his handbag and signed a check for $500,000 and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Miss Jin, thank you for your help, I hope to smile at a little meaning." β
Jin Ruzhen stared at the check in his hand for a long time, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, handed it back to Sun Ziming, and begged: "Mr. Sun, I have wanted to be an excellent actor since I was a child, can you help me?" β
Well, this girl is not bad, can resist the temptation of half a million dollars, and still wants to pursue her ideals. As for her little, it's too commonplace in this circle.
Sun Ziming stretched out his hand to support her chin, looked at it carefully, and then said sincerely: "Miss Jin, you look good, but you are not photogenic, it is estimated that it is difficult to become a big star, and you can only develop into a powerful actor." β
These Jin Ruzhen had already been self-aware, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Sun, I want to be an excellent actor, not a big star." β
"Oh, I misunderstood", Sun Ziming admired her persistence, handed the check back, and said gently: "You still accept the reward, this is what you deserve." SBS is our competitor and we are not in a position to come forward, if you can terminate the contract with them, you are welcome to join usSM. β
"Thank you thank you, you are a good person!"
Jin Ruzhen was overjoyed, clutched the check in his hand, and hurriedly bowed to Sun Ziming to thank him.
When she bowed halfway, Sun Ziming reached out to support her shoulder and encouraged: "Miss Jin, acting skills can be practiced, but the ideal depends on personal persistence, I am optimistic about you." Come on! β
"Thank you, I'll do my best!"
β¦β¦
After sending Jin Ruzhen away, Sun Ziming called Park Hanze in again and told him what had just happened, "Hanze, do you have anything you can do?" β
After being silent for a while, Park Han's chubby face was full of wry smiles, and he said helplessly: "Boss, it seems that we can only transplant the system of the Light and Shadow Company to South Korea." They went to establish independent distribution channels, and we had no choice but to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and control their directors and actors. β
Sun Ziming laughed, although he disdains to make Korean movies, but it is clear which people have the potential to become great directors. Since these Korean sticks are not convinced, let's convince them.
Isn't Samsung going to build a theater? Then build it, I happen to have so much money that I have nowhere to spend it, and South Korea happens to have a bad real estate depreciation, so it should be regarded as an investment. Anyway, South Korea's economy will recover quickly, and it will be back in a few years!
Yes? Park Han's eyes widened with a single eyelid, and he hesitated for a long time: "Boss, we have invested two billion dollars to build a theater chain, and now we will build another thousand big screens, do you know how much money is needed?" β
"Stupid! Now that the won has depreciated by 107%, we have more dollars, and we buy real estate that has fallen by half at half price, and you won't count this account? β
Sun Ziming's scolding did not make Park Hanze flinch, but argued: "Boss, the cheap real estate you mentioned has been almost acquired, and this thousand big screens will cost more than three billion US dollars!" If you put those funds in Southeast Asia and buy those junk commercial properties, you will make more money in the future! β
It's hard to explain the truth to this guy, and you can't tell him that the financial crisis in Southeast Asia is far from over, right? Sun Ziming had no choice but to put on the posture of a boss and reprimanded: "Stupid, when did you see farther than me?" The crisis in South Korea has passed, and if you don't buy it now, you won't have a chance to take advantage of it in the future! Southeast Asia's economy is only a small amount, how can their tropical monkeys engage in economy, and their real estate is worth half of that of Seoul and Busan? β
'Long-term vision' is the main reason why Sun Ziming was deified by his subordinates, and when he began to train people with a straight face, Park Han immediately became honest and supplemented him in his head. Southeast Asian real estate is only to make money, but South Korean real estate can promote the integration of the Far East, how can short-term benefits be compared with long-term benefits? Besides, Boss's supermarkets and cinemas must have gone over there to stake their ground, where are there commercial properties in Southeast Asia that are suitable for opening supermarkets and cinemas, why do you have to worry about it yourself?
"Calculate how much money it will cost us to buy a venue as before, and build another 1,000 big screens?"
βYes/sirβ
Park Han has always been in charge of cooperating with CJ Co., Ltd. to build a cinema chain, and I don't know how many theaters can be built in a city, and I don't know how familiar with the commercial real estate prices, equipment, and workers' salaries. If South Korea's economy recovers to the level of '96, these commercial properties alone will be worth $4 billion! However, those properties that are suitable for building cinema chains are not something we can acquire, and most of them are in the hands of large groups such as Samsung and SK. β
Sun Ziming stared at the map and sticky notes on the coffee table, and secretly exclaimed, the commercial real estate in Qingtan Cave in Jiangnan fell to 3,600 US dollars / square meter? It seems that the house I gave to Yingai last year was 3,700 US dollars per square meter, which is still based on her face as a superstar, and the real estate company gave a 75% discount for publicity.
"Boss, house prices have fallen by more than 30 percent, and the exchange rate has depreciated by another 107 percent, and there is nothing wrong with that. But the most difficult thing to do now is, how to make Samsung, SK, LG and other large groups willing to sell? β
Park Han is worried about the risks, but Sun Ziming is not worried that even if the price of a commercial real estate in a location like Cheongdam-dong is 50,000 US dollars per square meter in ten years, there will be people rushing to ask for it. , the financial crisis is really the best chance to make a fortune!
"Ok, when the Hong Kong deal is over, I'll raise billions more. , after a few years the economy recovers, this cinema line will be for nothing! β
Pu Han was jokingly called the most loyal subordinate and lackey by Sun Ziming, it definitely made sense, listening to his boss actually taking such a risk, he hurriedly said: "Boss",
"Shut up!"
Sun Tzu reprimanded him arbitrarily: "The national character of the Koreans determines that they will soon recover their economy, just look at their export surplus in the past two months." Why don't you pick up the bargain now and wait for the price to rise before you buy it? β
Park Han was stunned for a moment, but he also laughed excitedly, and echoed: "Yes! boss, you are too wise!" We don't want to come forward ourselves, we have to borrow the name of the Eastern Group or Dalin Group, register a few other companies to acquire, and then join our cinema after the construction is completed. In this way, we can not only legally avoid a part of the tax, but also avoid the government from rectifying us in the name of monopoly in the future! β
Hmph, isn't the South Korean government going to introduce policies to support the cultural industry? It happens to be cheap Hanjiang Group, and if you want to talk about abundant funds, Samsung Group can't do it, who blames them for spreading too big?
β¦β¦
The next day, Park Han arranged for people to register a new company, began to secretly acquire real estate suitable for the construction of theaters across the country, and also announced in a high-profile manner that he would follow the model of the Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group and subsidize high-level directors to set up their own studios.
"Yes, we have always believed that in order to make a good film, the director is the most important thing. Only by giving the director full creative freedom can he shoot excellent works. β
"Yes, we are a commercial film company, and box office results are the most important criterion. For example, "Ginkgo Tree Bed" directed by our company Jiang Digui has achieved 1.5 million moviegoers, and he is eligible for a $2 million grant from the company to set up a personal film studio. β
"Yes, the $2 million accounts for 40% of the studio's shares, and director Kang Digui's shares will be deducted from the proceeds of the films he directs in the future. Gentlemen, the studio system of Hangang Film Company will greatly protect the interests of the directors, actors and behind-the-scenes personnel......".
As soon as Hanjiang Satellite TV broadcast the news that Jiang Digui, a rookie director, would set up a personal film studio, the entire film and television industry was a sensation, and the bosses of the film and television companies were in mourning. They don't care if Jiang Gyudi goes to Hanjiang or not, there are many directors of his level, the key is that Hanjiang Group wants to promote the personal film studio system! They have studied the studio system of Hong Kong light and shadow, and although the probability of making excellent films has greatly increased, the interests of the shareholders of the film company will also be greatly damaged, and they will lose control of the company.
When the reporter caught Kang Dikyu, the lucky man, in a studio, more exciting news came out again, which not only completely disrupted the Korean film and television industry, but also embarrassed the Samsung Group, which wanted to compete with the Hanjiang Group according to the government's wishes.
