Chapter 185: Shaw Brothers Cinemas Change Hands

"People are iron, rice is steel, you told me. Hurry up and eat something! After eating, there are other things! Wang Li said with a slight choked voice.

"Lily......"

"You don't eat or sleep, you forget what you've learned." Wang Li didn't give Li Le a chance to finish a sentence. She herself picked up chopsticks and began to eat. Although Li Le ordered all of Wang Li's favorite food, when she was eating, Wang Li's tears appeared in her eyes again. But this time Wang Li didn't let the tears fall, she wiped them off with her own hands.

Looking at Wang Li's appearance, Li Le said, "I'll eat." Saying that, Li Le did not leave Wang Li's side and moved his chopsticks.

Compared with Li Le and Wang Liduo, the office of Run Run Shaw also looks a little bad.

In Run Run Shaw's office, there are only two people, Run Shaw himself, and the other is Fang Yihua.

"Huang Sheng of Siping Investment is here again?" Run Run Shaw asked in a calm voice.

After Huang Sheng got Li Le's funds, he immediately prepared to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas. The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is a task set by Li Le himself, and there are no good investment projects for the time being, so Huang Sheng also began to set up a Hong Kong cinema chain for Li Le.

Run Run Shaw's first request for Huang Sheng's purchase of Shaw Brothers Cinemas was immediately rejected. However, Huang Sheng also knew that it was impossible for Lu Dao to be able to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas for the first time, and he was not disappointed.

After being rejected by Run Run Shaw, Huang Sheng also started in some small theaters and acquired some small theaters. I waited a few days. Once again, he visited Run Run Shaw on TVB.

"Yes, Uncle Six." Fang Yihua said with a smile. After a pause, Fang Yihua smiled and said, "Sixth Uncle, if Huang Sheng can give a suitable price, it is not a bad thing for us to transfer the Shaw Brothers to him." It is better to transfer it to an investment company that is not in the film and television industry than to hand it over to the opponent of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. ”

For Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Fang Yihua is very supportive of the sale. However, in her heart, she also doesn't want to talk about Shaw Brothers Cinemas to other people in the film industry. Because those who have the ability to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas used to be the opponents of Shaw Brothers Films. Although the Shaw Brothers movie is gone, Fang Yihua is still reluctant to hand over the Shaw Brothers Cinema to his former opponent.

After Huang Sheng's first visit to buy, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua did not investigate Huang Sheng's origin. Now in the hands of the two, there is a detailed information about Huang Sheng. For Siping Investment. They also have a lot of information. It's just that Li Le has never come forward. It is difficult to find out that he is the boss behind Siping Investment.

Although it is not impossible to find out Li Le behind Siping Investment, it will not be so easy. After all, he was hidden behind the scenes, and Li Le also made a lot of preparations. It will take a lot of effort to find out about him. At the very least. Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua didn't know that it was Li Le standing behind Siping Investment.

"Let someone bring him!" Shaw was silent for a moment. Finally said.

Run Run Shaw is reluctant to Shaw Brothers Cinemas. But now he has long lost his original ambition for films. In his heart, he also prefers to sell the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line outside.

"Good sixth uncle." Fang Yihua replied with a smile.

Under the guidance of Secretary Fang Yihua, Huang Sheng once again appeared in Shaw's office. It's still the same as the first time. Huang Sheng is still single.

"Mr. Shao, Miss Fang, we meet again." As soon as Huang Sheng saw the two people in the office, he said hello very familiarly.

"President Huang, please take a seat." Fang Yihua also greeted.

Huang Sheng was also not polite, and sat directly opposite Run Run Shaw.

"Mr. Shao, I think you are also aware of the purpose of my visit this time. We won't beat around the bush, about the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, I don't know if Mr. Shao has made a decision in his heart, but our Siping investment is very sincere. As long as Mr. Shao agrees, I still say the same thing, and we Siping will wholly acquire the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. ”

"Mr. Huang, I'm curious, you are very new to movies, why do you invest in industries that you are not familiar with! As far as I know, you've invested in the stock market before. Run Run Shaw looked at Huang Sheng and said very seriously.

"I'm an investor, and Mr. Shao should have investigated. Invest? People like us are there to invest if they can make money. I am not very familiar with the operation of the film industry, but I also know the popularity of Hong Kong films. Investing in theaters is just hoping to make money on Hong Kong movies. As for the management of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, we can find other professional talents, and besides, the original staff of Shaw Brothers Cinemas cannot be left because of our acquisition! To know the way, this also gives us a part of the management talents. ”

"Shaw Brothers Cinemas has a scale, and after the acquisition, it can make money from the fastest restructuring. After talking to the rest of the company, we decided to ask Shaw Cinemas to buy it. ”

"Siping Investment is a new type of investment company, or a start-up investment company. Can you take the liberty of asking, which tycoon is behind Siping Investment? I don't think Mr. Huang is the real owner of Siping Investment! ”

Huang Sheng listened to Run Run Shaw's words, and the smile on his face did not change at all. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shao, this is a trade secret." I can't say who my boss is, or if my boss has communication with Mr. Shao in the future. What I can say here is that my boss is not from Hong Kong, but he is definitely Chinese. ”

Huang Sheng said casually, but he didn't say Li Lelai.

In the hearts of Run Shaw and Fang Yihua, both of them pondered, guessing who the boss behind Huang Sheng was. However, what did the two of them think, they didn't think of Li Le. "Which of Southeast Asia's richest people is it?"

"Mr. Huang, you are sure that you are a wholly-owned acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. In addition to being one of the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line also has a certain number of cinemas in Taiwan, Malaysia and other places. According to the market's valuation, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has a lot of value. Fang Yihua said with a smile. Huang Sheng brought a wholly-owned acquisition. Fang Yihua also had some distrust in his heart.

"Before we came, we made an estimate of the total value of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Shaw Brothers Cinemas adds up to a market estimate of HK$340 million. We also made a rough estimate of the value of theaters outside Hong Kong, and the result was around 80 million Hong Kong dollars. The two of you should know this better than me, and what I said should be not much worse! ”

Listening to Huang Sheng's words, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua both nodded, neither of them denied Huang Sheng's estimate. The price Huang Sheng said was almost the same as the actual one.

"Although Siping Investment is only a newly established company, there are still funds. HK$420 million in funding. We are more than capable of giving it out. Looking at Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua, they agreed with the price they said. Huang Sheng continued.

Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua glanced at each other, and Fang Yihua said: "Mr. Huang, when Shaw Cinemas is invested and acquired, can we guarantee that the original staff can continue to work on the cinema line?" Fong Yat-wah knew that Run Run Shaw was a man who missed the old days. Shaw Brothers is really sold. Run Run Shaw would have been concerned about the situation of his old subordinates.

"Of course. However, after the acquisition of Shaw Brothers, we will conduct a full-range assessment. As long as they meet the requirements, we will continue to retain the original staff. After all, we all know it. A familiar person's work is always much more familiar than a new person's. ”

Huang Sheng was also secretly happy in his heart, and he also knew that he was already very close to success. For the old employees of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, some of them will indeed be eliminated when they are reorganized, but a large number of them will remain, which Huang Sheng himself can guarantee.

"Uncle Six, what do you think?" Fang Yihua looked at Run Run Shaw and asked with a smile.

Huang Sheng also said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, you can talk about your thoughts, our Siping investment is really sincere." I hope you will seriously consider transferring the Shaw Brothers Cinemas to us. ”

Run Run Shaw sighed, and he knew that it was completely pointless to continue to keep Shaw Brothers Cinemas in his hands. He opened his mouth and said: "If Siping Investment really has a heart, I can agree to transfer." As long as Siping Investment can come up with enough purchase price and settle the old employees of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, I will agree to transfer Shaw Cinemas Line. ”

Run Run Shaw's verbal promise, Huang Sheng was also overjoyed. However, before the contract was signed, Huang Sheng did not show it outside. "Our Siping Investment acquired Shaw Cinemas at a market valuation of 420 million yuan, and guaranteed to retain 60% of the old employees of Shaw Cinemas, I think, this is already a very sincere price."

Huang Sheng did not raise the price, and directly had to acquire it according to the valuation, which is not to say that Huang Sheng has no experience in acquisition. Huang Sheng wanted to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas as soon as possible, so he did not lower the purchase price of Shaw Cinemas. In fact, Huang Sheng also understood very well in his heart, if he was willing to lower the price, he might lower it even less. However, for Li Le's consideration, coupled with the fear of unexpected competitors, Huang Sheng did not dwell too much on the price.

"420 million, as long as Mr. Shao signs the contract, the purchase money of 420 million will be remitted to the account designated by Mr. Shao as soon as possible." Huang Sheng said with a smile.

420 million to acquire the ownership of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Huang Sheng did not feel a loss. Not to mention the cinema itself, in Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has a lot of real estate proof, not just theaters on the land. Huang Sheng had analyzed it himself earlier, and he knew that investing in real estate in Hong Kong was a matter of value preservation. Huang Sheng believes that even if the value of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line cannot be guaranteed after the acquisition, the price of the land it owns will not be low.

Looking at the contract that Huang Sheng took out, Run Run Shaw said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Huang has been prepared!" ”

"Don't fight a war that doesn't matter, Mr. Shao, look at the contract we have set." Huang Sheng said with a smile.

Run Run Shaw nodded and picked up the contract that Huang Sheng had brought. At the top of the contract, it was all Huang Sheng's complaint, and it was clearly written on the top.

has already decided to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and when he sees that there are no loopholes in the contract, he is also satisfied with it. Run Run Shaw did not hesitate and signed his name directly on the contract. After that, he said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, I hope you can treat the old employees of Shaw Cinemas well in the future." ”

With Run Run Shaw's signature, most of the brilliant and lonely Shaw Cinemas in Shaw's hands finally changed hands. With Huang Sheng's efforts, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line also fell under Li Le's control. (To be continued......)
