Chapter 167: The Xiang Brothers
A reporter with a big brain is not something that ordinary people's brains can figure out. Maybe the reporter wasn't there at all. Even if it is at the scene, with their newspaper status, where can they see clearly what the sixth uncle's eyes are?
So such a newspaper has no other effect than sensationalism, and even if that newspaper publishes such an article, it does not think that how many people will read such an article? But in fact, the content of this newspaper is the closest to the truth.
Although it is impossible for Li Mingbao to acquire all the three major cinema chains into his own hands, but the establishment of the United Cinema Line, in a certain way, it is a fact that this cinema chain is following Li Mingbao's words. This tabloid didn't expect that a nonsense article would hit the nail on the head, and as soon as the sixth uncle's press conference opened three days later, the tabloid immediately became popular.
The news that was predicted three days ago proves that this tabloid does have strength. For a time, many newspaper tycoons wanted to buy this tabloid under their command, so that they could use this signboard to prove that their newspaper's forecasting ability was obvious to all. Especially those newspapers that do Mark Six, the most hope to receive this newspaper under their command, so that in the future, they can do Mark Six reports, they can openly say what news their newspaper has predicted.
Unbelief? Even the news of the Hong Kong film industry can be predicted three days in advance, not to mention the old Mark Six. If you don't buy our newspaper, what can you buy? If you want to make a fortune, you will definitely not suffer a loss by buying our newspaper. In this way, the owner of the tabloid really became a god in front of many buyers, and finally after the newspaper was auctioned by everyone, the owner of the tabloid sold his newspaper to the famous Mark Six newspaper in Hong Kong with a good payment.
As for how much he made by selling newspapers this time, he and the Mark Six newspaper never mentioned, but the newspaper owner in the next few years, in Hong Kong is quite high-profile, what is expensive to play, and his previous economic strength can not withstand such a cost, and now he is not distressed at all by spending money like this, it can be seen how much the Mark Six newspaper has a big price. At least not less than a few million.
After this incident, Hong Kong's newspaper industry understands that if you want to make your newspaper have a higher status in the industry, you must report the most accurate inside information, because the cause of this incident is about the film industry, so the profession of paparazzi was released in Hong Kong in advance, and the scale is very large.
The reporter with a big brain is not something that Li Mingbao can parry, so about this incident, Li Mingbao should be a happy person. Anyway, the answer will be revealed in two days, and Li Mingbao is not in a hurry to clarify. Entertainment newspapers are considered successful if they can attract people's attention. And these newspapers are also equivalent to free publicity for what will happen in two days, and Li Mingbao is also happy to let them make trouble.
On the contrary, it was the task that Li Mingbao received, and it was not easy for Li Mingbao to complete. It's only eighty-two years now, and the Xiang brothers haven't opened Yongsheng yet, so it's not an easy thing to get on the line with them.
If the Xiang brothers now have their own film company, it would be easy for them to say that they want to meet them with their fame in the circle. No one will push the God of Wealth outward, especially the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" this time, it really gives Li Mingbao a long face, if the Xiang brothers are insiders now, when they hear Li Mingbao coming to see them, they will definitely give Li Mingbao a good treatment.
But it's a little early now, although Li Mingbao knows that the Xiang brothers have great ambitions for the film industry, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to be the same thing for him as an outsider. In addition to this possible relationship, if Li Mingbao wants to contact the Xiang brothers, he can only trouble his third brother and fourth brother.
But it's not a good idea to find your brother to match. Although everyone is a person on the road, the problem is that his brother is mixed and combined, while the Xiang family brother is the speaker of New Ngee An.
As long as you have been in Hong Kong for two years, you know that the new Ngee An and Harmony picture book is not a harmony, and it cannot be said that there is a small fight in three days or a big fight in five days, but the conflict in it on weekdays is definitely not small. Although his brother is a nominal name, it is not for nothing when he deals with New Ngee An, and some of the people on New Ngee An's side are missing arms and legs, which is the masterpiece of his brother.
This is not a harmonious relationship, although it is okay to pull the strings, but whether you can talk well when you get to the ground is a question. Originally, Li Mingbao should have waited for the news of the merger of the theater chain to come out, and then talked about this matter with Xiang Huaqiang and them. But the problem is that when I discussed this issue with Uncle Six, Uncle Six decided that they would say the news at the press conference.
In other words, at the press conference two days later, United Cinemas will determine a seat on the road and a seat for an overseas film company. If Li Mingbao discussed this matter with the Xiang brothers at that time, he would not be able to convince Hetu's side first.
His brother is also a Hehetu person, and there are not a few people who want to make movies with Hehetu. Now he has let the people of New Ngee An pick up the cheap, if he doesn't make it clear, it will be difficult for Li Mingbao to explain to the people on Hehetu's side. Although Li Mingbao didn't need to explain anything, it was a festival after all. It's a business that makes money with harmony, and it's not a good thing to offend Hehetu for this matter.
At the beginning, Li Mingbao didn't think that this share would be given directly to Hehetu, but the problem was whether the people on Hehetu's side were unruly in making movies, and Li Mingbao didn't know. And about these insider information, not only does the big guy have no inventory in his head, but even the almighty whiteness does not show any useful information.
After all, the rise of the Internet era has been at least ten or twenty years away from now, and the span is so large, and it is not important news, who would put such news on it?
Compared with the Xiang brothers' knowledge of the roots, Li Mingbao is not very clear about what the situation is on Hehetu's side. But historically, Hehetu is not too famous in the film industry, so it can be seen that they have not developed much in this industry.
When it comes to strength, even if Hehetu can't be compared with Xinyi'an, it's not much worse, and the background is deeper, but even so, when the Hong Kong film world was booming, there wasn't much to do with them.
In addition, I don't know much about the situation, so it is better to be an evergreen tree like Yongsheng, and let Hehetu take such a position, Li Mingbao doesn't think it will be the right choice. Therefore, when this issue was first mentioned, Li Mingbao's first choice was the Xiang brothers, and they also wanted to take the initiative, coupled with the principle of introducing it for my use, it is not too strange that the Xiang brothers are internally determined.
Although analyzed in the interests of Li Mingbao, it is best to use the Xiang brothers. But what Hehetu thinks is not something that Li Mingbao can figure out, plus Li Mingbao intends to let his brother whitewash, and the relationship with Hetu can be diluted, if there are more entanglements of interests, maybe it will cause trouble at any time.
In order to make up his mind as soon as possible, Li Mingbao didn't care that the relationship between his brother and that side was not very good, and took the initiative to make an appointment with Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng. Although as Li Minghuang and Li Minghu, there is a great asymmetry in meeting these two bigwigs, even if the two of them are the double-flower red sticks of Hehetu, but the status of these two bigwigs is completely unequal. But the two brothers Xiang Huaqiang made it very clear that they would go to the appointment in the evening, because Li Minghuang and they said at the beginning that inviting them this time was not the point, the focus was on Li Mingbao.
Although the new Ngee An is from the Xiang family, the people of the Xiang family are not all working in the new Ngee An, they also have their own jobs. is like Xiang Huaqiang, he had the idea of working hard in the film industry in the seventies, and also made several movies, but due to the situation at the time, Xiang Huaqiang did not make any money in it.
But with the events of those years, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng are no strangers to the film industry, and the Hong Kong film industry has been very good in the past two years, so the two brothers are also very concerned about this aspect of things. And in the Hong Kong film industry in the past two years, there is one character that cannot be avoided no matter what, and that is Li Mingbao.
Now Li Mingbao has taken the initiative to make an appointment, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Xiang brothers who are interested in developing in the film industry. So the Xiang brothers accepted it very happily this time.
At six o'clock in the evening, at the Anji Teahouse, the three brothers Li Mingbao, Li Minghuang, and Li Minghu, facing Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, sat down at the same table and began to drink tea.
As the boss of Xinyi'an, Xiang Huaqiang's aura is very sufficient, and after drinking a cup of tea, Xiang Huaqiang spoke: "Li Sheng, our Xiang family, and your Li family, don't seem to have much to do with it?" It can even be said that there are some grudges, and a large part of the names of your two elder brothers is contributed by our new Ngee An. You didn't invite us over this time to settle a grudge, did you? ”
"These are all small things, and since they belong to different forces, it is normal for some friction to have them. I don't need help with these things, my brothers will take care of them themselves. The reason why I came to you today is because I have something to discuss with you. Before I do that, I would like to ask a question, you two brothers, not New Ngee An. How much liquidity do you two brothers have now? "Li Mingbao is not a gangster now, with so much money in his hands, his aura can naturally be cultivated, so even in the face of the Xiang brothers, Li Mingbao has no stage fright.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Xiang Huaqiang frowned: "Li Sheng, are you showing off that you are rich?" Although our two brothers don't have as much money as yours, as long as we want to, we can have money, if we are not afraid that the movement will be too big, your Li Sheng's money is also ours. There are not many others in New Ngee An, and there are still more than 100,000 brothers.
Don't think that if you get a few Vietnamese boys, you can call the wind and rain in this business, Vietnamese boys are just a fart compared to us. Could it be that Li Sheng, you came here today just to ask if our brother has money? ”
