On August 4, a piece of news shocked the world. In the early hours of the same day, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein suddenly ordered tens of thousands of Iraqi troops armed to the teeth to suddenly invade Kuwait under the pretext of "punishing Kuwait for stealing Iraqi oil."

With only over 20,000 troops in Kuwait, it was unable to resist the attacks of tens of thousands of Iraqi troops, hundreds of tanks and fighter planes, and in less than a day, all of Kuwait's territory fell under Iraq's iron heels, and only a few members of the Kuwaiti royal family fled by plane to neighboring Saudi Arabia. Upon learning of the great victory of the troops at the front, Saddam Hussein was complacent and immediately announced the abolition of the Kuwaiti royal family, the establishment of the "Free Kuwait Interim Government," and the formation of the "Kuwait People's Army." At the same time, it ordered the army to empty Kuwait's gold and foreign exchange, and immediately announced the purchase of more than $1 billion in Kuwait's foreign assets at a price, and ordered Iraqi officials to take over the oil fields throughout Kuwait and suspend oil exports.

He was complacent, and he had no idea that his move would give the United States and its NATO bloc allies, who had long wanted to meddle in Middle East oil, the best excuse to intervene.

Kuwait, the world's largest oil producer, announced the suspension of oil exports, and global oil futures prices soared. Later in the day, when the New York futures market opened, crude oil futures drew a glaring green line and opened from 13. The price of $4 jumped higher and was close to $16 a barrel at one point, although it fell back to $15 at the close. The U.S. dollar still caused other commodity futures, including gold, to jump higher and soar.

On the same day, despite the overwhelming coverage of the news by many media outlets in Hong Kong. However, many people have noticed that in the corner of the entertainment section of a newspaper in Hong Kong, there is such a news, "Golden Harvest and New Line Film Company have officially negotiated a cooperation agreement, and New Line will replace 'Twentieth Century Fox' and distribute the North American release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on behalf of them. The film has been delayed for a long time and will be officially released in half a month"

Those who will notice this news are basically people in the film industry, either directors who have been famous for a long time, or promising backwards, Lin Xiaozhi is one of them.

Putting the newspaper on the table, his eyes swept over the smiling face of Zou Wenhuai on the newspaper, Lin Xiaozhi frowned slightly. As Golden Harvest's first truly successful overseas film, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" left a very important mark in the history of Hong Kong films. Because I like Hong Kong films, I also bought a Hong Kong movie published in UU, and I know a little about the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

In 89, Golden Harvest obtained a five-year filming authorization for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and filmed three films by himself before and after, of which the first part was the most tribulation, and the second part made the most money. Naturally, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be released this year, although this film is not as good as the second film that swept more than 200 million US dollars worldwide, but it also won about 500 million US dollars (about l800 million Hong Kong dollars) at the global box office. This is Golden Harvest's first film to make a lot of money overseas by sharing it, and the global box office dividend alone Golden Harvest has eaten more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it may be more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars if you count the videotape publication.

As soon as Shaw Brothers stopped production, Golden Harvest is now undoubtedly the oldest film company in Hong Kong, not only with its own set and crew, but also with the largest number of dragon and tiger martial artists and drama and film artists in Hong Kong. It is impossible to say that Golden Harvest has already taken advantage of the intensification of the contradictions between the three giants of the New Arts City to surpass this opponent and regain the throne of the first brother in the Hong Kong film industry.

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and Lin Xiaozhi's mind drifted farther and farther away with his thoughts, until he suddenly felt some stinging pain in his fingertips, and then frowned and came back to his senses, and accidentally found that his nails had not been repaired for a few days and were broken when he knocked on the tabletop, and the corner of the broken nail stabbed the tips of his fingers.

Looking at the wound on his fingertips, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly smiled dumbly. Since the rise of New Asia Film Company, he has made more and more money, and his ambitions have also been rising, and now New Asia has just reached Debao, and he wants to become the largest film company in Hong Kong. Among the many film companies in Hong Kong, the only one that he fears the most is only one and a half film companies, Yongsheng can only be regarded as half of them, and Golden Harvest is the only one.

Most of the film companies in Hong Kong are in the nature of some leather bag companies, that is, the Hui brothers, Tianmu, Yingzhijie, HPO and others who have left a heavy mark in the history of Hong Kong films, but several generations of grassroots filmmakers do not think about how to expand the film company after making money, but most of them use it to squander, buy famous cars and luxury houses, and congenitally limit future achievements. Among the Big Three, the boss of Debao is too rich and makes movies just for fun. The three giants of Xinyi City are infighting, and the real boss Lei Juekun is too old and died too early.

is Yongsheng, which has been feared by many filmmakers in Hong Kong, if it has not learned Lin Xiaozhi well, it is still afraid that it will be hard. But in the past two years, Yongsheng has been boycotted by all walks of life in the film, bumps and bumps have suffered a lot of losses, the Xiang brothers have now learned to hire corporals and invite big stars, although they still can't get rid of the rivers and lakes and are too stingy with stars, but there is no doubt that it has also begun to abide by the rules in the film industry, so most of the competitive means can only come openly, and they dare not frequently make secret moves.

What really makes Lin Xiaozhi jealous is only Golden Harvest, the right time and place are all occupied, the boss is ambitious and professional, and has been actively exploring overseas markets and profit channels, and there are a group of good players who know how to make movies and many subsidiaries. As long as the boss Zou Wenhuai does not make his own money to engage in real estate, Golden Harvest continues to follow the path it has been taking in the past few decades, and it is difficult for other film companies to catch up with him in a short period of time unless they pay several times his cost, and it is not impossible for him to be left far behind, or dragged down or squeezed out of the market.

"The three "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" brought nearly 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in dividends to Golden Harvest, which is almost the same as the total annual box office of Hong Kong at its peak. has such a large amount of money, and instead of making movies, he will be a pick-up man for the British and engage in real estate ......"

Lin Xiaozhi laughed secretly in his heart, and even he was frightened by Jiahe, who was about to receive hundreds of millions of huge amounts of blood replenishment, and completely forgot that it was not only Jiahe that was about to receive blood replenishment, but it was not only Jiahe Film Company. At this time, he borrowed Song Nianhui's hand to gamble on oil futures, and with the help of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, he also made a lot of money, and he couldn't say that he would make more money than Jiahe filming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

He smiled slightly, put away the newspaper on the table and stopped reading it, but took out a nail clipper from the drawer and trimmed his nails slightly.

A rush of footsteps came from outside his office, and the owner walked quickly from far and near. Lin Xiaozhi suddenly felt something, put the nail clippers into the drawer, and dusted the table a little. He had just finished doing this, and sure enough, he heard footsteps stop at the door of his office, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Lin Sheng......"

Listening to the voice, it was Song Nianhui who was still read by him.

"Come in ......"

Lin Xiaozhi replied flatly, but his voice trembled slightly, and the grievances in the master's heart still could not be completely contained.

Song Nianhui pushed the door in when he heard the sound, his eyes were attentive, and the smile on his face was very bright.

"Lin Sheng, do you guess I brought you something good?" With his hand raised, he saw that he was still holding a piece of paper on the palm of his hand that had been behind him, which he usually used to jot down some things.

Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while, and then asked uncertainly: "I heard that the Kowloon Bank is going to hold a shareholders' meeting in a few days, and this time should almost be over." Song Sheng didn't bring me any good news? ”

Song Nianhui put the notebook on the table in front of him, took a paper cup from the cabinet next to him, took a glass of water for himself and poured most of it in one gulp, then looked at him and said, "The last time I came, Lin Sheng, you said that the time had not come." I would have guessed how long you would have to wait for this day. I didn't expect it to be a few days...... You flip it back, and the place I fold up is exactly what I heard when I was giving a presentation at the shareholders' meeting just now...... Hey, Lin Sheng...... No, no, no, I'll have to call the boss in the future......"

Lin Xiaozhi was still flipping unhurriedly, and when he heard him suddenly say, excitement flashed on his face, and he couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, and quickly turned to the page folded by Song Nianhui in three or five clicks, and looked down at the boss with his eyes glaring suddenly, and excitement and excitement continued to appear on his face, and it took a while to see calm down.

"At the shareholders' meeting, Lin Dong (Lin Jili is also a director of the bank) proposed to let Lin Shengyou take over the bank, and for this reason, he also agreed to divide the shares under his name from the monk and Lin Shengyou, and at the same time take out 14 shares from the chairman to your name, help you become the largest shareholder of the bank, and block the mouths of some shareholders who oppose it...... Congratulations Lin Sheng, if there is no accident, Lin Dong will announce this matter to the public within two or three days......"

Hearing this, he clenched his fists suddenly.
