Volume 1 Chapter 374 We'll Come Back Next Year

When the bus crossed the strictly censored Shenzhen丨River checkpoint in the night and entered the Hong Kong border border station, Lin Xiaozhi glanced at the clear lights on both sides of the Shenzhen丨River, and the corners of his mouth curved an arc.

The trip to the north, which lasted for nine days, finally came to an end.

He spent a few more days in the north than he had expected, including five days in Beijing alone, but the benefits were far more than expected. Not to mention Beijing's unexpected attitude on the issue of Hong Kong films, his first trip to the north made some unexpected progress. The fact that he met Deng Gong twice during his stay in Beijing and had an exchange with the chief architect of the reform for more than seven hours was an astonishing achievement. In addition, he also shared two meals with many big names in the mainland film industry, and established some relationships and friendships at the banquet.

At the banquet, Lin Xiaozhi inadvertently revealed that he would fund the establishment of a mainland film exchange and support fund, and then, under the questioning of the group, he promised to allocate at least 20 million yuan every year to support mainland filmmakers to go to Hong Kong for practice and exchanges.

The ten-year turmoil has undoubtedly hit mainland films hard, too many outstanding talents have left, and movies have been used as a political propaganda tool by the mainland and have not felt the urging effect of reform, so even in 9l, the mainland's film talents are still not as good as the golden age of the fifties and sixties, which is obviously very withered and miserable. However, these artists of the older generation and some young and newly rising 'young Zhuang faction's obviously also breathed a sigh of relief for their failure to catch up with the wind of reform and promote development, and Lin Xiaozhi wanted this effect. He believes that as long as he perseveres, the will of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and Beijing will change sooner or later.

After the trip to Beijing, the entire delegation went to the north almost into free time. Except for a small number of people such as Xu Ke who accepted the invitation of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television to visit studios such as West Film, North Film, and Bayi, most of them came according to the arrangement of Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia Group. On the sixth day, Zhang Guorong and others held a concert in Shanghai and played in Shanghai for a whole day, interacting with some movie fans and fans cultivated by peeking pirated video tapes on a small scale. On the eighth day, they went to Guangzhou and sang again, and in the evening of the same day, the group rushed to Shenzhen again, and sang another song in Shenzhen.

Lin Xiaozhi didn't follow the team the whole time, because as early as when Xiao Nianqi came to tell him again that Deng Gong wanted to talk to him again, he asked him about several shares he had raised before. Obviously, the top management of the Bank of China Group has not forgotten his kindness in selling two tons of gold spot to the mainland in renminbi. Therefore, after the end of the trip to Beijing, Lin Xiaozhi temporarily handed over the identity of the person in charge to Li Guoxing, and he took his girlfriend Li Jiaxin, his bodyguard Gao Sen, and some personnel from the legal department of the Media Asia Group who he urgently transferred from Hong Kong to Guangdong Province.

Everyone actually guessed Lin Xiaozhi wrong, and guessed his true intention to go north this time. Why is his attitude in Beijing so soft? The most fundamental reason is that although he went north in the name of the Hong Kong entertainment industry this time, his real purpose was not in the movie from the beginning, and whether he could safely invest in the four companies that are still not well-known in the mainland is his truest intention. As Lin Xiaozhi once told Song Nianhui before, he wants to invest in these four companies to buy a future for himself.

The four companies that Lin Xiaozhi once proposed to buy shares in are now not well-known in the mainland, except for Sanshui Jianlibao, which has become internationally famous, but they are not enterprises that Hong Kong businessmen and foreign capital can meddle in casually, just because these companies are too sensitive. Although the Shenzhen Development Bank currently has only nine business outlets, as the first banking enterprise designated by the mainland to land on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on a pilot basis, even if it does not mention the memory of the mainland's previous financial losses in the past, it is not long ago that the European and American Western powers joined hands to snipe at the credibility of the RMB foreign exchange market, which also made the mainland's Hong Kong policy in finance more conservative. Shenzhen Ping An Insurance Company is the same, although its shares are small, but the initiators are all local enterprise companies in Shenzhen, not local private star enterprises, or local state-owned enterprises, and the complex share composition and its share with Shenzhen Development Bank belong to the same field that the mainland has not yet opened to the open.

However, during a short trip to Guangdong, Lin Xiaozhi unexpectedly found that what he was most worried about did not happen, and the mainland made some restrictions on his shareholding in Shenzhen Development Bank as he expected, allowing him to increase his shareholding funds several times, and he could see that Shenzhen Development Bank was indeed very excited, but in the end, Shenzhen Development Bank only agreed to him to obtain 35 shares with 100 million yuan, and Lin Xiaozhi, who understood that this was probably the upper limit that the mainland could tolerate, did not ask again. After hastily reaching a verbal agreement with the senior management of Shenzhen Development Bank, the remaining signing and fund delivery were all handled by the professionals of the legal department of Media Asia.

Ping An Insurance Company should be the biggest achievement of his trip to the north, perhaps it is the reform policy that has wavered in the mainland in the past two years. Six Ping An Insurance sponsors, including Jingao Industrial Development Co., Ltd. and Wuxin Yufu Industrial Co., Ltd., jointly sold up to 37 shares to Lin Xiaozhi, and Shenzhen Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. also sold his shares to him, making him successfully control China's first private insurance company to an astonishing 44 percent, for which he only paid 000,000 Hong Kong dollars (several private companies require Hong Kong dollars to settle) and 3.3 billion yuan. Feng Bank first invested in Ping An from the year, at the peak of the Ping An owned more than half of the shares, now the foreign shareholders of this insurance group together have long exceeded half, interested friends can Baidu...... )

Even if the future refinancing will dilute the shares in his hands, but now it only cost more than 400 million yuan to win two giant companies with immeasurable market value in the future, when he learned from his legal team that the final signing agreement will be delivered to him within four days at most, the confidence that has been insufficient for the future decline of Media Asia Group and Hong Kong films has finally made up for it.

The two acquisitions, which were originally thought to encounter some twists and turns, were unexpectedly smooth under Beijing's personal intervention. However, Lin Xiaozhi did not expect that the state-owned enterprises, which he thought were only two local enterprises, failed to achieve the results he expected.

Zhongshan Xiaobawang Technology Co., Ltd. was reorganized at the beginning of last year by a small electronics factory under Zhongshan Yihua Group for the production and maintenance of tape recorders, and its general manager Duan Yongping was the soul who single-handedly catalyzed the birth of this technology company. Since 89 years was transferred to this small state-owned factory with a loss of more than 2 million yuan as the factory director, Duan Yongping, who has enough sensitivity to electronic products, soon got inspiration from a gift from a seafarer friend - an LPR10 computer, and after less than three months in office, he personally approached the senior management of Yihua Group and Zhongshan Municipal Government, asking for additional funds for the research of his so-called learning machine, after a year-long anti-cracking and modification, by the end of the 90s, the Bawang learning machine, It has been successfully finalized and tested in-house. Both Yihua Group and the Zhongshan Municipal Government, after seeing the finished product of Xiaobawang learning machine, were very satisfied with it, so they not only agreed to him to set up Zhongshan Xiaobawang Technology Company, but even the Zhongshan Municipal Government also squeezed out 4 million yuan from the tight financial system for the expansion and sales promotion of the factory.

Although at this time, Xiaobawang learning machine was only well-known in a limited area in Guangdong Province, but the good sales prospects and market acceptance made the patriotic Duan Yongping very dissatisfied with the government's request to introduce Hong Kong capital into the shares. After learning of this news from the government, he approached the municipal government several times to oppose foreign investment in state-owned assets. When he learned that it was the central government who personally intervened, his attitude softened slightly, and he was still very dissatisfied with Lin Xiaozhi's shareholding. He, the top leader of the company, was unhappy, so he naturally didn't give Lin Xiaozhi a good face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shouted out the sky-high price of 30UU million yuan to get 10 shares of the company, and God knew that all the assets of Zhongshan Xiaobawang Technology Company at this time were actually only slightly higher than 30UU million yuan.

After Lin Xiaozhi negotiated with him, and finally only got a concession of 50UU million yuan from him to obtain the company's shares, he realized that it might be difficult to complete the negotiation in a short period of time, so he decisively authorized it to the legal staff and left sullenly.

If you want to say that Zhongshan Xiaobawang Technology Company has eaten a soft nail, in Sanshui Jianlibao it is a complete hard nail. Sanshui Jianlibao became famous too early, with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics after the instant hit, known as the "Chinese magic water", Jianlibao in 199l has already become the leading boss of the mainland beverage industry, even has entered China's Coca-Cola and Pepsi, can only look at Jianlibao's super high market share and 90 years of sales of up to 100 million yuan and red.

The shares of Sanshui Jianlibao Group are composed of Li Jingwei's management team and hundreds of old employees of the original Sanshui Brewery and Jianlibao Factory, which are held by 10 Sanshui Municipal Government and 90 Although Jianlibao is bigger and stronger, the Sanshui Municipal Government has given a lot of policy tilt and support, but it does not interfere in the operation and development of Jianlibao, and it is the efforts of Li Jingwei's team to develop the market is also the foundation of Jianlibao's growth. Because of this, Li Jingwei, who has a rigid personality, has always wanted to buy his shares from the Sanshui municipal government, but first, he has no money, and second, the local government is worried about the loss of state-owned assets, so he refuses his request.

Because of this, Li Jingwei, chairman of Jianlibao Group, is very dissatisfied with the government's use of administrative power to require it to 'introduce, and foreign capital. This bull man, who has always been famous for his bullish temper in the mainland business circles, did something that Duan Yongping did not dare to do, not only personally blocked the special car of the secretary of the Sanshui Municipal Party Committee, but also found the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to sue the Sanshui Municipal Government for 'betraying the country,'. After a big fuss, although it was finally calmed down by the leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and promised by the Sanshui Municipal Government that the shares of Hong Kong businessmen would be opened from the shares held by the municipal government, when Lin Xiaozhi came to negotiate the acquisition contract, he only got a relatively tangled agreement from the Sanshui Municipal Government, 5.6 billion yuan, which was obtained. The shares of Jianlibao held by the Sanshui Municipal Government.

In my heart, Jianlibao's sales in China are very beautiful, but it is a turnover piled up by low-price marketing, just look at the profits and taxes it contributed to Sanshui City last year only more than 10,000 yuan to know the Tao, this price is actually not low. And compared to the future of the potential to grow into a giant of the deep development and Ping An Insurance, Jianlibao has to face the full opening of the mainland beverage market and face the competition of overseas giants, even if he did not waste the years under his intervention, it is difficult to reach that height, but the price is still above the two companies, so that he was entangled for a long time before finally suppressing the urge to leave, euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction and left the legal team to continue to talk with the Sanshui Municipal Government.

No way, Lin Xiaozhi has too much RMB in his hands. From 89 to 90, he took the opportunity to eat nearly one billion yuan in the Hong Kong black market. When the two tons of gold were sold to the mainland, the Bank of China Group was also well aware of the current situation of the mainland's renminbi in the international foreign exchange market, and did not choose to settle the settlement at the mainland's official renminbi exchange rate against the US dollar, but according to the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar. After a complicated conversion, the two tons of gold spot he sold to the Bank of China Group ended up in exchange for almost RMB. Holding a large amount of RMB cash in his hand, most countries in the world did not recognize it after he brought it out of the mainland, except for investing in the mainland, Lin Xiaozhi really couldn't think of any other use.

He will be very content to win deep development and peace, as for Xiaobawang and Jianlibao, if the conditions are negotiable, they will continue to talk, and if they can't be negotiated, even if they can't be negotiated. Lin Xiaozhi has not yet reached the point where he has to have the two of them, especially Jianlibao, a giant in the mainland beverage industry, which is difficult to catch up with his current main film industry. As for the little overlord...... But don't forget that Hong Kong was once one of the largest manufacturing bases in Asia, although now Hong Kong manufacturing is also declining, but the foundation is still a little bit after all, and then there is a developed electronics industry in Taiwan, and it is not difficult to hire professional technicians from Taiwan at a high price to get an electronics company. What's more, what he wants is D, no matter how bad it is, it is also a VCD, and from the beginning, it was not the learning machine that took a fancy to Xiaobawang and has now begun to sell in Guangdong.

"What are you looking at, Darling?"

Li Jiaxin was originally leaning on his shoulder to sleep, but was woken up by his sideways movement, opened his somewhat hazy eyes, and asked in a daze.

"It's nothing, I'm tired of you these days, let's sleep for a while, we'll be home soon......"

The trip to the north, which lasted tens of thousands of miles in nine days, undoubtedly made most of the delegation very sleepy. Therefore, Lin Xiaozhi kissed her on the cheek, and then replied softly, not wanting to affect the rest of everyone in the car. After saying that, he also closed his eyes and sat down to rest, because he knew very well that after returning to Hong Kong, he still had a big battle to fight.

Some people want to know what is going on in the mainland, which has been cut off from Hong Kong for more than a year, and some people are waiting to see the jokes.

Just as Li Guoxing was worried about before, when all the members of the delegation from the north returned to Hong Kong one after another, and the exchanges between Lin Xiaozhi and others and the mainland were reported one after another, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan were boiling again.

Oriental Daily: "The trip to the mainland has not achieved an inch of success, Beijing's attitude is tough, Hong Kong's representative has an opinion that is difficult to match, and someone shows his loyalty......"

......As the throat newspaper of the Taiwan authorities in Hong Kong, this newspaper, which had bombarded Lin Hsiao-chi himself before going north, obviously would not miss this opportunity and did not hide the irony in the article: "...... First, the socialist countries of Eastern Europe embraced democracy, and now even the Soviet Union has sensed the evil nature of socialism and may abandon socialism altogether. The turmoil of the previous year proved that the Communist Party of the mainland was also dying, and that Hong Kong would either remain under the British, or it would be plundered by the locust-like transit of the mainland once it returned."

"Hong Kong Times" jumped out: "...... The mainland re-injects 'drugs,Hong Kong's entertainment industry may lose its true voice"

"The Five Consensus on Film Cooperation has triggered a big discussion in the Hong Kong film industry, and the industry is generally dissatisfied with the results achieved in the north"--Sing Tao Daily

"Ming Pao" is relatively cautious: "Hong Kong and the mainland cooperation and exchanges have resumed, Lin Xiaozhi promised to invest 20 million yuan a year to support mainland filmmakers to return to Hong Kong for further study......"

In the face of overwhelming accusations and bombardment, Lin Xiaozhi, who had just returned to Hong Kong from his trip to the north, answered only two. In the latest issue of Cheng Pao and Hong Kong Economic Journal, there are two huge headlines hanging up.

"Lin Xiaozhi: The first trip to the north was a phased success, and we will come again next year"

"ATV's senior management broke the news that the TV station may face another change of ownership, and Lin Xiaozhi has issued an acquisition intention to ATV, or it may involve more than one billion Hong Kong dollars"
