Volume 1 Chapter 3 The Children of the Banker Family

But where to get the money?

This question made Sun Cheng worried!

If he had money on him, Sun Cheng would absolutely, immediately, and immediately, take out the money to make a movie for Ye Yuqing. With such a bewitching figure and an open personality, as long as the script is not too bad to make a tertiary film, I believe that even if it can't be a big hit, at least the money is still guaranteed, and maybe he can make his first pot of gold from it.

I don't know if it's because of the influence of the crossing, Sun Cheng found that his memory was surprisingly good. Just now he was a little curious about the identity of this gentleman, but as a result, his identity kept popping up in his head, and even a lot of things he had experienced in the past twenty years or so came out.

This gentleman named Lin Xiaozhi is not as beautiful as the outside world sees. His grandfather Lin Jili is indeed a well-known banker in Hong Kong, and he really has only one son who is Lin Jiannian, the father of this gentleman. But Lin Jiannian has three children, and he takes the name of three of 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality'. They are the eldest Lin Xiaoyi (29 years old), the second Lin Xiaozhi (27 years old), and the third Lin Xiaogong (15 years old).

The eldest son, Lin Xiaoyi, has a gentle temperament, and has studied in the United Kingdom for many years, and returned to Hong Kong as a master's degree in finance from Oxford University, and now follows his father as an assistant to the president. The third child is Lin Jiannian, who was born to a new wife who married ten years after the death of his ex-wife, he is smart and clever, and his stepmother after the famous family is Zhang Luo from the side, and he has been loved by Lin Jiannian since he was born. Compared with the two of them, after Lin Xiaozhi barely graduated from secondary school, he relied on his family's wealthy family background to wander and mix around all day long, and never worked seriously for a day, whether it was his grandfather or his father, he had a lot of opinions about him.

He is the second eldest in the family, not as favored as the third, and he is not as trusted by his grandfather as the eldest child, if it weren't for the fact that before his mother died in childbirth, he repeatedly asked his father to love him, I am afraid that life will be more difficult.

Sun Cheng had just received some information about the current owner of this body, and after he slowly straightened it out, he already had some understanding of the family background of this gentleman.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is Chaozhou, Guangdong, and the ancestor Lin Xianzhi was born as a silver number, and the Lin family was one of the most famous families in Chaozhou in the twenties and thirties. Lin Xianzhi has a total of thirteen sons, and Lin Jili, the grandfather of this gentleman, ranks seventh. In the Chaoshan culture that attaches great importance to the "eldest son of the long house", Lin Jili, who is a concubine, received very little family property, so he came out to help his family at a very young age, and relied on diligence and simplicity to work hard to create his own side of the world.

Before the battle of crossing the river in 1949, Lin Jili and his brothers saw that the civil war in China might escalate, so they reluctantly fled to Hong Kong with their thin softness, and finally settled in Hong Kong.

In 1951, Lin Jili found that the refugees who fled south from the mainland to Hong Kong brought a lot of precious antique calligraphy and paintings, but in order to make a living and sold them at a low price, he felt that there was a business opportunity to take advantage of, so he took out all his savings to set up a pawnshop, and since then it has been out of control, and by the time of 65 years, he has owned millions of furniture, and in the mid-sixties, he recruited a few friends to establish the 'Kowloon Bank'.

The development of the Kowloon Bank was not smooth sailing, but under the painstaking management of his grandfather Lin Jili and his father Lin Jiannian for two generations, it had become a small licensed bank with an annual profit of 20 million or 30 million yuan and a market value of more than 800 million yuan in early 87 years.

On Friday, October 16, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York suddenly fell sharply. Asian stock markets panic-sold on the following Monday (19 October), with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index falling more than 400 points on the day and peaking at 3,949 by the end of the year. 73 points, down to 1876. 18, a drop of 52. 5%, which hit the Hong Kong economy hard. As a result, a number of companies that had borrowed from the Kowloon Bank went bankrupt, resulting in a large number of bad debts for the banks.

At the beginning of this year, the news that many of the Kowloon Bank's loans could not be recovered spread out of the road. A large number of Hong Kong residents who have deposited money at the Bank of Kowloon are worried that they will not be able to withdraw their savings, so they are rushing to rush to withdraw them. Although the turmoil was most difficult to survive under the flexible hands of the Lin family, this gentleman knew that the Bank of Kowloon today has still become an empty shelf with a large number of foreign debts that cannot be recovered, and even if the bankrupt companies are auctioned off by the judiciary, the Bank of Kowloon will be greatly damaged.

This is also the reason why he hesitated, although this gentleman is not heartless to pick up girls everywhere with the identity of a bank Xiaokai, but others don't know what to do, but he knows his own affairs best.

In fact, he doesn't have much pocket money in his pocket, let alone squeeze out money to invest in a movie.

What to do?

The charm of Ye Yuqing, the future queen of tertiary films, naturally has nothing to say, "I am crazy for Qing", "Qingben Beauty", "Can't Help It", because she dares to show and dare to wave, her three tertiary films are all big hits. Then he successfully transformed with several films of "Black Rose and Black Rose", and in 93, he was nominated for the Golden Statue and Golden Horse with "Moonlight on the Rooftop". If she hadn't married into a wealthy family early, and would have fought for the Golden Statue and Golden Horse a few years later, maybe there would be another actress in the Chinese film industry.

Sun Cheng is very optimistic about Ye Yuqing, and if she carries the flag, it is almost no different from robbing money. You must know that Ludao movies have always been the three major profiteering industries along with arms and finance, not to mention that this investment opportunity is almost no different from what was picked up for nothing.

What is the way to get a sum of money?

Soon put on his clothes, Sun Cheng thought for a long time, and finally decided to deal with the past first, and talk about other things later.

At the moment, I said to Ye Yuqing, who was currying favor with him and sorting out his clothes for him: "I can consider investing, but this is the first time I have touched this thing, and I don't know much about it." So, how much investment does a movie need? ”

He remembered reading a report that the investment in the 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investment in Li Lizhen's version of "When the Peach is Ripe" filmed and released in 93 was only more than 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 1 million was paid to Li Lizhen. It can be seen that if you invest in a movie of martial arts, action or mythology, spirits and ghosts, the investment required is bound to be not low. But if you invest in a horror thriller or urban romance movie that doesn't cost too much, the cost should be well controlled between 100 and 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

His head began to start, but this gentleman is also from a wealthy family, so it is impossible to not even get one or two million investments, right?

Let's hope for it!

As soon as he thought of this gentleman's bad interpersonal relationships and family, the corners of his mouth twitched, should, maybe, probably, almost get it, right?

"Really?"

Seeing that he was finally relieved, Ye Yuqing's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, Lin Shao." That little investment in a movie is not an easy thing for you. Lin Shao...... Mona gave you everything, so you agreed! ”

Obviously, Ye Yuqing doesn't know how much investment is needed!

Sun Cheng frowned, but his heart moved, which also provided him with an excuse. At that moment, he said: "Since you can't say clearly, let's do it, give me a month to prepare, I'll ask my friends first, if there are any people in the circle I know, to see if I can contact the right director and script, you have my contact information, let's call at any time." If I've got it right, I'll contact you right away. Of course, if you know a screenwriter around you, you can ask if there is a good script! ”

With a one-month buffer period, I believe a lot of things can be accomplished...... Right? ——
