On a delicate white clay dish from Japan, a silver knife is unhurriedly cutting a piece of venison full of sauce on the plate and slowly serving it into the owner's mouth.

Pan Disheng picked up the napkin and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly and glanced at the young man sitting across from him, and at this moment he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart.

"Falling behind"

As soon as this strange thought came out, Pan Disheng's handsome face and brows were visibly furrowed.

Think he Pan Di rose from a wealthy family, and received the best elite education in Britain and the United States, since 78 years after graduating from college and returning to Hong Kong to start a business, in addition to the first two years with the family to ask for money, in the future, all rely on their own hands, only to lay down the current market value of billions of Disheng Group, more than ten years of ups and downs in the business sea, has always been he took the initiative in his hands, now in front of this young man named Lin Xiaozhi took the initiative to ask to buy his hands of Debao Company, but from half an hour between the two of the first meeting to the present, However, he has been falling behind and has lost the initiative in negotiations.

It's a really bad feeling, at least he doesn't like it.

You have to take the initiative in your own hands, as soon as this thought came out in his heart, Pan Disheng put down the napkin in his hand and took the initiative to say: "I vaguely remember that a year ago, it was also Mr. Cen who conveyed Lin Sheng's intention on his behalf, and it was also in this Western restaurant that I sold Disheng records to Lin Sheng. At that time, Xinya was not half as good as Debao, but I didn't expect that after only a year, Lin Sheng and your Xinya came to this point."

Although the tone of his words was emotional, it made Lin Xiaozhi, who was sitting opposite him, frown. He understood the hidden meaning of Pan Disheng's words, and the implication was nothing more than 'A year ago, you were just a small character worth mentioning, and I half-sold and half-gave you Disheng's records.' Now that you are up and out of breath, there is a sense of condescension in the words of the elders pointing out the juniors.

Lin Xiaozhi also put down the knife and fork in his hand when he heard this, and stared at the famous brand king sitting opposite him, today's Pan Disheng has not changed much from a year ago, he is still wearing a famous brand, and he can often see news about him in the newspaper, it is said that this famous brand king has a soft spot for the so-called aristocratic culture in Europe, and especially admires the British aristocratic culture on weekdays, not only eating, wearing, living and acting like the British aristocracy, but also the brands endorsed by the Disheng Group and the acquired companies are all well-known in the UK.

However, obviously, Lin Xiaozhi, who was born at the grassroots, is not interested in this kind of aristocratic plot.

I met with Pan Disheng today, and both of them came for Debao. One wants to sell his useless Debao for a good price, but the other doesn't want to buy it at a very high price. Naturally, there was talking. Compared with spending tens of millions of dollars to acquire Universal Pictures, Lin Xiaozhi did not mean to spend too much money on Debao, a veteran Hong Kong film giant, so as soon as the two met today, he chose a completely different attitude from when facing Li Xiuxian, with a bit of indifference in his toughness, as if he had forgotten that Tozen Jianxun had helped him convey to Pan Disheng that it was not him who intended to acquire him, or that this was just a pit he had buried early.

"Hong Kong is a place full of miracles, and no one can say what will happen in a year's time. What's more, movies are a profiteering industry, and it is not impossible for a movie to sell well and make more than 100 million. It is not difficult to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year when it works well. Although it is not as good as traditional manufacturing and real estate, it has its own merits."

This-for-tat remark made Pan Disheng's brows furrow, just as Lin Xiaozhi heard the hidden meaning in his words, and the deep meaning in Lin Xiaozhi's words, how could he not hear the faint irony.

The Disheng Group now claims to be worth 4 billion yuan, and Pan Disheng, who controls most of the shares, is worth a lot of money, and he ranked 71st in the list of Hong Kong's richest people released in April this year with a value of about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, of which the vast majority of his assets come from the Disheng Group. But few people have noticed that although the brand king is very loud in Hong Kong, it is only in the garment industry that it is crushed by Lin Baixin's Lai Sun Group, and can only rely on the endorsement of the brand to barely stand in a place, it is said that in 89 years, the turnover of the Risen Group was as high as 16. 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately the net profit is only 7.9 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Xiaozhi's sentence, one is to clearly tell him that his company's profitability is still above the Disheng Group, and the other is to sarcastically ridicule that he has Debao in his hand, but he has played a good hand of cards badly, resulting in Debao now having the signboard of the Big Three, and it is difficult to sell it.

What he said is true, in the commercial arena, he Pan Disheng may be a talent, but in the film industry, this famous brand king is an out-and-out mediocre talent. Debao had a good hand of cards in the early years, Hong Jinbao, Hong Jiaban, Cen Jianxun, Zhou Yanfa, Xu Guanwen, Lin Zixiang, Chen Baiqiang, etc., almost all of them were senior or signed artists of Debao.

However, this famous brand king engaged in a film company just for him to promote his endorsement brand, but after a few years, Hong Jinbao took his Hong family class back to mix with Jiahe and tossed his Baohe; Cen Jianxun was also driven to Debao Cinema by him, Zhou Yunfa was invited by his friend Wu Yusen to stand on the platform for Xu Ke's studio for a few years, creating the glory of the "True Colors of Heroes" series, and the cold-faced smiling craftsman Xu Guanwen returned to Xu's Pictures to continue tossing occasional guest hosts, Lin Zishen has not made movies for many years and concentrates on his singing.

The worst thing to be cheated is the king of the music world, Chen Baiqiang, who was signed by Pan Disheng at an astonishingly high price, but not only did he not carefully package Chen Baiqiang in the past few years, but he didn't even give him Zhang Luo's concerts many times. It was the decline of the past few years that made Chen Baiqiang's influence in the music world worse and worse than that of Principal Tan and Zhang Guorong in the same period, and he was finally accepted into his command.

Pan Disheng heard the sarcasm in his words, and there was a fire in his heart that rushed to his head, his face sank on the spot, he pretended to glance at the time on his watch, and said coldly: "I have something to do in the afternoon, let's talk about it if we have something." Lin Sheng: If you want to buy Debao, I can't sell it to you for 500 million Hong Kong dollars. In the past few years, I have invested more than 300 million yuan in Debao, and I think you won't do it even if it is Lin Sheng, if it is not profitable......"

He has always been very self-assured, but it is an indisputable fact that he failed to invest in Debao. Since the RR year, he has been interested in selling Debao, but unfortunately there have been rumors of selling from time to time in the past two years, but occasionally one or two people who want to buy Debao with him, as soon as they hear the price he offers, there is no follow-up.

In the past few years of investing in Debao Film Company, Pan Disheng has invested nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars before and after, not counting the money he spent on the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. If you really want to calculate, if you can't sell Debao to more than 300 million, he can't recover the investment cost, and only when he sells it to more than 400 million can this investment be regarded as making money.

Lin Xiaozhi saw that he refused crisply, and he was not angry at all, and he didn't even frown, obviously expecting everything.

Looking at Pan Disheng, he smiled faintly, "Pan Sheng said that he laughed, before you invested in Debao Film Company, it wasn't just for the brand promotion of your Disheng Group. In the past few years, relying on dozens of Debao movies and hundreds of celebrities' cheap endorsements and omni-channel publicity, the money you invested in Debao has already been earned, we don't say dark words, I have inquired, looking at the whole of Hong Kong except for me and Xinya, no one can eat Debao, 500 million I opened a lot. What else does Turvo Pictures have besides that library worth more than 50 million? Of the 500 million Hong Kong dollars, I only offered a price of 100 million to Debao, and the remaining 150 million Hong Kong dollars is the value of Debao Cinemas. ”

Pan Disheng was annoyed when he heard this, Rao is tempered by his temper, and he couldn't help but have a little anger in his words at this time: "I don't dare to agree with Lin Sheng when he said this, although Mr. Cen told me that the scale of your new Asia is more than that of Debao Film Company, but it is not necessarily a good thing to rise too fast, and it is still worse than Debao in terms of heritage." For example, we have our own team of professional screenwriters, who can create a steady stream of scripts. There are nearly 100 of their own contracted directors, artists and photographers, and hundreds of professional drama ......"

"What if I use 100 million to poach the corner...... Lin Xiaozhi interrupted him unceremoniously, "Just like ATV poaching H, I really want to know whether the two million annual salary plus the identity of the president of New Asia can poach Mr. Cen, 100 million Hong Kong dollars to create benefits twice as high as Debao, can Debao Film Company be hollowed out ......"

Crash

Pan Disheng's face changed greatly, and he stood up with a bang, looking at Lin Xiaozhi with a condescending face, and his handsome face was full of frost: "Is this a threat?" ”

"No, it's just an ordinary business method." Lin Xiaozhi was unmoved, and let the two sharp eyes sweep over him, and his expression remained indifferent: "Pan Sheng, Debao Film Company is over, in addition to Chen Zixiang's return to his parents' home to help shoot "Three People in the World" and "Three People in the New World", what else does Debao have?" "Royal Sister" is not as good at the box office, and the same is true for the "Rich" series. Since Pan Sheng has no intention of running Debao, he might as well sell it to me. As Pan Sheng said, Debao is the most valuable is those talents, and what we lack most in Xinya is also talents, but with the current situation of Xinya and Debao, I want to poach people, can Pan Sheng really keep people? ”

He smiled confidently, and looked at Pan Disheng's face with an indifferent expression, but sat back, knowing that the matter was already halfway through. He continued: "Debao Cinemas has created a box office of more than 270 million so far this year, ranking first among the four major cinema chains in Hong Kong. However, more than 200 million of them were created by our New Asia films. It is no longer that New Asia is inseparable from Debao, but that Debao Cinema is inseparable from our New Asia. The three giants of Xinyi City are infighting, Lei Qizheng is the owner of the Golden Princess, as long as I say a word, Xinya's movies will all be scheduled in the Golden Princess in the future, I really want to know that Debao can last a few days......"

"500 million Hong Kong dollars, this price does not carry any moisture, Debao Movies and Debao Cinemas are only worth this price. Of course, since Pan Sheng said that he couldn't make money at this price, I wouldn't mind increasing the purchase price by 100 million...

directly raised the purchase price from 500 million Hong Kong dollars to 500 million, Pan Disheng was not happy when he heard it, "What are the additional conditions for adding 100 million......

He had just learned Lin Xiaozhi's methods, and although he was angry, he also admitted in his heart that if Lin Xiaozhi really wanted to attack Debao, Debao's life would be very sad.

Pan Disheng has already made up his mind to sell Debao, so it is naturally impossible to allocate money to fight with him to retain people. And he has long cut off the funding for Debao Film Company, and now the film company can still maintain to this day, completely relying on the dividend income of Debao Cinema Line to make up for it, so that he can have money to make films and pay salaries. And once Debao Cinema Line dividends Xinya withdraws and no longer schedules films, it will indeed be a disaster for Debao.

The prey is already in the urn

Seeing that his voice softened again, Lin Xiaozhi smiled when he heard this, "Of course, my money didn't fall from the sky out of thin air, so naturally there must be some additional conditions." I have two requirements: first, Debao will hand over all the theaters and distribution channels in Taiwan and Southeast Asia to me; Second, I want Pan Sheng to give birth to all the arts shares in your hands......"

Zhang Guozhong's entertainment company, he has coveted it for more than a day or two. This gold medal agent in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is really a miracle, his entertainment company not only signed Liu Dehua, but also Tan Yonglin, Zeng Zhiwei, Li Keqin and other more than a dozen first- and second-tier stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry contracts, and not only Hong Kong's largest professional brokerage company second only to wireless, but also one of the few film companies in Hong Kong with assets of more than 100 million. Even the scale of first- and second-tier signed artists is no longer below the two, and it is firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's largest film company.

Spend 500 million for Debao and Arts, worth
