Chapter 807: Negotiation
Wang Zichuan's eyes flashed, thinking of the figure he saw just now, and he was sure that Zou Wenhuai still had a back hand, and this back hand was related to the major institutes in Hong Kong.
"What does Uncle Huai mean?" To be on the safe side, Wang Zichuan decided to test it again.
Zou Wenhuai replied with a smile: "Isn't my meaning clear enough, the two of us will cooperate to jointly crack down on the small theater so that it cannot take shape, win back the fans, and recover the losses." ”
"What does Uncle Huai think? A few small theaters don't seem to be worth the full strength of our two of us? Wang Zichuan is very interested in Zou Wenhuai's methods, his strategy is to introduce real estate developers to exploit the master of the theater, this is his reference to the mainland phenomenon, Zou Wenhuai would never have thought of these.
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Ah Chuan, I know you have an opinion, but you have ignored the most important point. ”
"Oh? Uncle Huai, please speak. Wang Zichuan's face was respectful, and he was quite unconvinced, he was known for his strategy, and he paid attention to planning before acting, as long as the plan was calculated, it was a logical realization, otherwise Hongxing would not have become such a huge community in just three years.
Zou Wenhuai said: "You must have noticed many film companies in Hong Kong. ”
"Yes, among the many film companies, the Taiwanese film companies are the most active, and the rest are the Nanyang film companies, these businessmen are very wealthy, and Uncle Huai is worried that they will collude with the small theater?" Wang Zichuan said with a smile, he has already considered these situations, without the support of film companies, these small theaters are just fish on the board, he can eliminate the bag theater line with one sentence, there are hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong, and there are only a dozen of them, among which Tengfei Entertainment is the most powerful, he only needs to say a word that the film is not allowed to be screened in the bag theater line, at least seventy percent of the companies dare not resist, and the bag theater line will naturally disappear, and these theater companies don't care about the rules. They are all here for profit, and there are rich businessmen and dignitaries from various countries standing behind them, and Wang Zichuan can't do anything about them, and the leather bag theater line relies on these film companies to survive.
Zou Wenhuai didn't care about the deep meaning of the demonstration in Wang Zichuan's tone, with an expression that you don't know the other, and said lightly: "Do you know that Taiwanese film companies have united and are about to issue a notice!" ”
Wang Zichuan endured his horror and asked carefully, "What announcement?" ”
Zou Wenhuai said: "Taiwanese film companies have established an alliance, and they advocate unified price reduction, that is, the purchase of Hong Kong films at a low price. And cancel the unspoken rule of self-financing of profits and losses, sign a sharing agreement, they play a good wishful thinking, they buy out the films with a high box office at a low price, and they advocate a share of the films with a low box office to avoid risks. ”
Wang Zichuan couldn't help but say: "How could Taiwanese filmmakers organize for no reason, and there is nothing strange in it?" ”
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "There are a few new members of Taiwanese film companies, that is, they advocate alliances, and the entire Hong Kong film system has changed. Taiwan is the largest overseas base of the Hong Kong film industry, and the most effective way to get out of the crisis is to improve the quality of films, which is not the business of a film company. ”
Wang Zichuan pondered for a moment. The Taiwan Film Merchants Alliance is not good news for the Hong Kong film industry, some small companies may have stomped their feet in a hurry, and the overseas market share depends on the distribution capacity of the film company, and the distribution department of Tengfei Entertainment has already covered Southeast Asia. Some high-quality films can also be distributed to Europe and the United States, which is comparable to Golden Harvest's distribution capacity, and loses the Taiwan market. There will be no fatal impact, and other small companies will not have such good luck, their issuance ability itself is very poor, and some can only be issued to Taiwan, and losing the Taiwan market is equivalent to being killed.
The film can be copied in countless copies, the film is released, if the capital can be recovered in Hong Kong, then it will be earned, the film is distributed to Taiwan, and it is made in vain, and it is distributed to Singapore, Malaya, the Philippines, Thailand, and a few copies are made in vain, if the theater buys out, the funds will arrive immediately, and you can quickly invest in the next film, which is also the reason for the prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry.
Zou Wenhuai saw that Wang Zichuan was silent, and tried to persuade: "With the experience of Taiwanese film companies, it is difficult to guarantee that Nanyang film companies will not follow the price increase, which will have a fatal impact on Tengfei Entertainment and Golden Harvest Pictures, the more these film companies earn, the greater their ambitions, they are just colluding with filmmakers, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not directly acquire film companies and openly interfere in the Hong Kong film market in the future." ”
Wang Zichuan nodded slowly and said lightly.
"These people are so hateful!"
Zou Wenhuai said: "So we must unite and jointly resist the new policy of film manufacturers!" ”
Wang Zichuan smiled, glanced around a few times, and sneered: "Just with these rabble, I'm afraid that at the moment of interest, they will be the first to betray us?" Most of the filmmakers are rich, and they just throw a few dollars at will, enough for them to kneel to greet them! ”
Zou Wenhuai said embarrassedly: "With our two families suppressing, they don't dare to have two hearts." ”
"I don't believe them!" Wang Zichuan was not optimistic about the strategy of starting with the film company, and the plan proposed by Chen Baixiang and Wang Jin was vetoed by him.
Zou Wenhuai's face changed, and he seemed to let go of something and play with taste: "Do you want to let them run wild?" Ah Chuan, I won't hide it from you, Golden Harvest has decided on all regular theaters in the alliance, and a preliminary agreement has been reached, what are you going to do? ”
Wang Zichuan suddenly realized, no wonder Hong Kong's major courtyard businessmen gathered at the Peninsula Hotel, it turned out that Zou Wenhuai had already discussed with them, waiting for himself to comply, today to say a 'no' word, that is, to make enemies of all Hong Kong cinema chains, Golden Harvest has become the invisible leader of Hong Kong's major courtyard businessmen, one eliminates the other, Golden Harvest has the possibility of turning over again!
"Uncle Huai, you are not kind this time, you are clearly coming to pit me!" Wang Zichuan looked at Zou Wenhuai, and waited until the other party showed a smug smile before continuing: "But it's a coincidence, our theater manager Chen Baixiang has reached an agreement with them three days ago, doesn't Uncle Huai know?" ”
Zou Wenhuai's face changed slightly, why didn't anyone inform him of this news, these merchants secretly lost to Tengfei Entertainment?
Wang Zichuan laughed and said: "This news is no secret for a long time, basically all the courtyard businessmen know about it, no one sues you?" ”
Zou Wenhuai will not admit defeat, even if it is on his lips, and said with a forced smile: "I already know this, but you are very dishonest, just now you kept saying that you don't understand Chen Baixiang's actions, how can you be clear now." ”
Wang Zichuan said: "Actually, I thought of a plan to eliminate the small theater that has risen!" ”
"What's the strategy?" Zou Wenhuai was full of interest, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, when he was hostile to Tengfei Entertainment, was Wang Zichuan like this, and planned ...... Bad water one after another.
Wang Zichuan impatiently explained the plan in detail, Zou Wenhuai is different from Chen Baixiang and Wang Jin, the former has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life, and Zou Wenhuai has the most say in whether the plan can be implemented.
"You mean to weaken the profitability of the theater chain!"
"Yes, there are real estate developers who take a piece of the pie, and these small theaters are not making money, so they will naturally go out of business."
Zou Wenhuai groaned carefully and sighed: "This has an impact on the entire cinema chain, and many theaters in the regular cinema chain are renting land, so I am afraid that they will oppose it." ”
Wang Zichuan smiled: "We do it in private, and we don't have to ask for their opinions." ”
Zou Wenhuai analyzed the situation of Jiahe Cinema Line, the original establishment of Jiahe Company was in a hurry, the predecessor of Jiahe Cinema Line was Dianmao Cinema Line, the situation is complicated, although for more than ten years, he used the money he earned to buy back a batch of shares, completely control Jiahe, Rao is so, Wang Zichuan's plan also has a great impact on Jiahe Cinema Line.
"You don't have to ask for their opinions!" Zou Wenhuai subconsciously repeated, knowing in his heart that I am afraid that the 'they' here also include Jiahe Company, as long as Wang Zichuan Great Wall Real Estate takes the lead, other real estate companies will only follow up, after all, no one will give up the fat in their mouths.
Wang Zichuan continued: "When the leather bag theater chain is in crisis, we will find a way to clean up these filmmakers who are robbing while the fire is hot, and when the odds have been decided, the remaining theater merchants will not follow the wind and beat the water dogs. ”
Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly: "This plan is a bit risky, can you think about it again?" ”
Wang Zichuan said: "I heard that Uncle Huai acquired a real estate company a while ago, and this plan is only good for Uncle Huai. ”
Zou Wenhuai said aggrievedly: "How can the establishment of a new company be so easy to get started, it has lost more than 7 million yuan in less than half a year, and the Hong Kong government has auctioned more than a dozen pieces of land, and we have not grabbed any of them." ”
Wang Zichuan looked down on Zou Wenhuai's business vision in his heart, he said it so clearly, and he was confused, no wonder Jiahe never broke the game, there were the Wei brothers in the 70s, there was a new art city after 80, and now there is Tengfei Entertainment, and he has lost a lot of good opportunities to unify the entertainment industry.
"Uncle Huai, I won't go around the corner, there is not only one financier behind many theaters in Hong Kong, for example, there is a large theater on Queen's Street, the manager's surname is Li, only 35% of the shares of the theater, I originally wanted to buy, all of them have negotiated three, this surname Li is not sold, because it cannot be wholly owned, this transaction is finally yellow, there are many similar theaters in Hong Kong, there are always shareholders who want to sell the shares in their hands, you buy shares in the name of a real estate company, it is best to get the land, then you will not become a big winner, you want to profit and dividends, How dare they refuse? ”
Zou Wenhuai was dumbfounded, if such an insidious idea was used on his head......
"Ah Chuan, such a good business, why don't you do it?"
"I've done it a long time ago!" Wang Zichuan smiled secretly in his heart, and said perfunctorily: "I don't like this little money." ”
Zou Wenhuai was relieved, Wang Zichuan made money quickly, he was deeply envious, the last time he invested more than a billion, in just a few months, he wanted hundreds of millions of profits, and couldn't help but sigh: "There are still young people with many ideas, and we have the opportunity to talk more."
