Chapter 320: Wu Tian's foreshadowing
"Old Shi, what's the matter?"
On Hong Kong Island, in Yang Xiaoya's villa, Wu Tian grabbed the phone and said.
It's already September, Wu Tian skipped class for half a year, although the school didn't say anything, but he couldn't bear the nagging of his mother, and at the same time, there were a lot of things to deal with in the next step on Hong Kong Island, so he ran back to Hong Kong Island and continued to "study".
"It's a little troublesome...... Shi Jing said, "Manager Song's propaganda method is a bit too good, and now even the experts in the capital are alarmed, and many people come to identify the manuscript all day long......"
"That's a good thing." Wu Tian said, "Besides, haven't we already published it in the newspaper, isn't the manuscript genuine?" Afraid of what? β
At Wu Jianguo's strong request, Wu Tian had to let Song Zhuyi publish a statement earlier than originally planned, and after expert research and identification, the manuscript was not the authentic work of the Song Dynasty, but the manuscript of the late Qing Dynasty. However, the truth is never more eye-catching than a lie, and the statement of the "Yunan Evening News" is not reprinted by many families, but the original lie is still being reprinted by more and more local newspapers, and the influence is still not weakened.
"It's a good thing, we don't have to worry about experts coming to appraise, there are newspaper statements to testify, and no one can say our fault. It's just that this situation has made some people feel uneasy...... "Yesterday, Mayor Shi gathered those experts and some reporters together for a meeting, on the one hand, to publicize the situation in Huacheng to these experts, and on the other hand, he also said that he would rebuild the academy in Huacheng, which was the academy where the great literati wrote the article. β
"Huh?" Wu Tian couldn't help frowning.
Although Huacheng Academy is not a big academy, it can be regarded as leaving a little name in history, especially when the great writer was demoted to this. I wrote some articles and poems there. However, this academy has been converted into a school decades ago. Decades down. It has long been unrecognizable, most of the buildings have been converted into buildings, and now there is probably only one large hall left in its original state.
Shi Hongsen jumped out at this time and said that he wanted to rebuild Huacheng Academy, obviously wanting to jump out and get a piece of the pie from the matter of the old county government!
But his methods are too inferior, right?
Not to mention anything else, it is only said that the preservation process of the academy and the county government is not the same at all, and the old county government is basically completely preserved, and the premises have not been greatly renovated. At least the large frame has not changed, at most it is to change the windows and door panels, so the cost of repairing is not too high, and it can also show the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
But Huacheng Academy has long been unrecognizable, and the renovation is almost equivalent to rebuilding. If the school is to be rebuilt on its original site, the school will have to be demolished, how much impact will it have on the school? Besides, how significant is the reconstructed "ancient building"? You must know that this is not a film and television city, and it has the advantage of scale. It's just a small academy and dozens of ordinary tiled houses. And how many people can it attract to visit?
"I inquired about the situation, Mayor Shi seems to have found some kind of investor this time, and wants to develop tourism projects in Huacheng, and Huacheng Academy is just their first step." Manager Shi said, "It is said that they are going to build a water playground next to the film and television city......
"Uh......" Wu Tian couldn't help but be a little annoyed, isn't this obviously coming at us?
Okay, we invested hundreds of millions of dollars to start the film and television city project, and we had to vigorously publicize it, so it was easy to attract tourists, but they easily diverted some of them to the playground and let them make money?
If we want to build a playground, we won't build it ourselves? Originally, there was a playground project in the planning of the film and television city project, but it was arranged for the second phase of the project, and it would take two years for the film and television city to become popular.
It's good now, we just started a county government project here in Huacheng, and just hyped up some fame, people immediately followed up with a college project, and they couldn't snatch the film and television city project, but they hurriedly snatched the playground that the film and television city should have, and put on a bloodsucking posture!
Nima, this is deliberately blocking Lao Tzu!

"Yes, this version is much better."
After the movie was played, Wu Tian clapped his hands and shouted.
"Hehe, it's all a little bit of guidance...... "Wang Fatzi said.
The last time Wu Tian came to Hong Kong Island, he watched the first sample of "God of Gamblers", and Wu Tian was quite dissatisfied, because this time Wu Tian asked for an investment of 30 million yuan to shoot, although all the live shooting was completed, it only cost more than 15 million, but the final effect is not much better than the investment of less than 10 million in the previous life.
In addition, the most important point is to ask Wang Fatzi to go to the United States to invite a few special effects experts to reprocess the special effects scene when he fights cards, and sure enough, after smashing into millions more, the effect is very different, and even Wu Tian feels quite dazzling when he looks at it.
In fact, the most important thing in gambling movies is the word "cool", the success of "God of Gamblers" at the beginning, the plot is not the focus, the focus is on the "cool" or "pretending to be 13" feeling in those scenes. is the most attractive part.
The scenes after the special effects processing. Naturally, the effect is extraordinary. suddenly raised the level of the entire film a lot.
After Wu Tian made a little comment on a few small details of the film, he asked, "Lao Wang, is the schedule set?" β
"It's set, it will be released in mid-December on Hong Kong Island." Wang Fat said.
Wu Tian nodded, this schedule is basically the same as the date of the previous life, if nothing else, the box office should be the same as the previous life, right? The box office of the previous life should have been more than 30 million, which set a new box office record on Hong Kong Island. According to the current economic state, the possibility of wanting to be higher is not very high, which actually means that this film may lose money.
You must know that the box office of more than 30 million yuan is not all given to Zhongzheng Film and Television, the distribution right of this film is given to He Erye, plus some other operating expenses, Zhongzheng can recover more than 20 million from it. At present, the production cost of the entire film has reached 24 million, and it is estimated that several million more will be invested in the future, as a whole. Hong Kong Island's revenue is only afraid that it really can't take care of the cost.
This means that you want to make money. You can only access markets outside of GuΓ² Island.
There is no need to consider the big market of the mainland, the current domestic film broadcasting market is still an era of state-run domination, and any films shown are strictly controlled, although according to the cultural exchange agreement, a few strictly limited number of Chinese films will be introduced into China every year, but Hong Kong films basically do not appear in regular movie theaters, and the Hong Kong films that Chinese people are currently exposed to are still in the video hall -- of course, videotapes are also a type of income, but after all, it is not high.
In addition to the mainland market, the traditional sphere of influence of Hong Kong films is Japan Island, Taiwan Island and Southeast Asia, but in these places, Zhongzheng Film and Television has to give a larger proportion to local distributors than Hong Kong Island, and on the whole, all the income is at most barely the same as Hong Kong Island, which is quite good.
All in all, the final income of this film is only one or two million, and it may not even be much higher than that of the previous life.
However, Wu Tian doesn't care about how much money he can make, the key is how much influence this film can get. Although this film is from Hong Kong Island, it can also be regarded as Chinese culture, and it can also be used as a blade of war to sweep through the surrounding areas......

"Xiaotian, what's going on with that playground?"
According to the old rules, after dinner, Yang Xiaoya walked on the beach accompanied by Wu Tian and asked.
"Well, that's a bit of an eyebrow." Wu Tian said.
"Is it the Ni family who is playing ghost again?" Yang Xiaoya said.
"You guessed wrong this time, hehe." Wu Tian said with a smile.
After the news of Huacheng Academy and the playground came, in fact, Wu Tian's first reaction was that the Ni family was playing ghosts - so far, the biggest enemy is the Ni family, well, Lin Junting doesn't count, that girl is just a dog of the Ni family. And some other people who have had an enmity with themselves or their fathers have basically been knocked down, and those who have not been completely defeated and killed have also left Shannan, not to mention that those who can focus on this project must have money in their hands and business vision, so it seems that only the Ni family meets these conditions.
"What? Not the Ni family? Do you have any other enemies? Yang Xiaoya couldn't help frowning and worried.
"Why does it have to be the enemy?" Wu Tian said with a smile, "This project is indeed effortless and profitable, and people who are more shrewd can naturally see it, and it is not surprising to exploit a loophole." β
"You're still laughing?" Yang Xiaoya glanced at Wu Tian and said, "The problem now is that others are clearly bullying you, what are you going to do?" β
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh even more happily, and Yang Xiaoya said this. Apparently he has grown into a qualified leader. Do finance. There has to be a bit of killing. Yang Xiaoya herself is soft on the surface, but she is a little stubborn in her heart, and now after training, she has obviously begun to show the hard side of her heart, and she is not willing to tolerate this kind of behavior of trying to snatch money from her pocket.
"What to do? Cold salad. Wu Tian said with a smile.
"What do you mean? Regardless of them? Yang Xiaoya frowned.
"Yes, at least for the time being." Wu Tian said with a smile, "According to Sister Xiaoqing and Lao Shi's investigation. This company is still relatively reliable, and the reconstruction plan they came up with for Huacheng Academy is generally good, and according to their plan, Huacheng Academy is barely unacceptable. The development plan of the amusement park is basically reasonable, and it has little impact on the overall design of our film and television city, and the facilities of the amusement park are not bad. As long as they really follow the current plan, then let them build the project first. β
"Huh?" Yang Xiaoya blinked and said with distrust. "So what do you mean...... Wait until they finish the project construction, and then attack them? β
"What do you mean to start?" Wu Tian rolled his eyes dissatisfied. said, "Is that called business competition?" Or just call it a business war......"
Yang Xiaoya pursed her lips, no matter what it was called, she could only ask for more blessings for the company that went to Huacheng and was ready to snatch food from Wu Tian's mouth......
"By the way, speaking of business wars, what's going on with the new Asia in our mall?" Yang Xiaoya talked about new topics, but it was a big shopping mall that has been in a bit of a storm recently.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
In terms of business, one of the most famous things in the previous mall is probably the New Asia Mall.
The New Asia Mall, which opened in May this year, changed the original business model of state-run shopping malls and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising expenses -- equivalent to the total annual advertising expenses of all shopping malls in the city at that time. In order to avoid accidents, the security personnel of the shopping mall can only release people in batches. At 6 p.m., when the business hall was forced to close early, more than 90 percent of the goods had already been sold.
And this is just the beginning, next, New Asia continues to introduce new tricks, others are quietly open for business, while New Asia wants to set up a stage in front of the door to attract customers, others are old salesmen of state-run stores standing behind the counter with a straight face to sell things, New Asia is open shelf sales, and the shopping guides are all girls and guys in their twenties, full of enthusiasm......
During that time, as the earliest joint-stock commercial enterprise in China, New Asia Mall created one "first" after another among Chinese commercial enterprises with a flexible mechanism, a service concept of "customer first" and a surprisingly successful public relations and marketing skills: the first to set up a welcome lady and an elevator lady; the first to set up a piano platform; the first to create their own guard of honor; the first to raise the national flag; The first to advertise on CCTV, "Where to go to the Central Plains - Mall New Asia", this advertising slogan allows many people to say it casually......
Although it has only been open for two or three years now, Yang Xiaoya, a mall owner on Hong Kong Island, has already heard the name of New Asia!
Of course, the more important reason is that Wu Tian also invested some funds in this.
As early as the beginning of the year, when New Asia had not yet opened, Wu Tian asked Bai Jie to invest 5 million funds in it, although it was not much, but the overall capital of New Asia was only more than 40 million, and most of them were bank loans, so 5 million allowed Fengyun Company to occupy 30% of the shares.
Of course, this ratio is not too much compared to Fengyun's habit of occupying absolute controlling stakes in other projects. It's purely a ticket nature.
But after all, New Asia is also Wu Tian's industry. Of course, Yang Xiaoya should be a little more concerned.
"What's wrong with New Asia?" Wu Tian asked strangely.
Because on the surface. The current situation in New Asia can only be said to be a great deal, and the huge sales performance caused by the high posture does not know how many people are jealous, but Yang Xiaoya is obviously a little worried when she asks now.
"Is the current situation in New Asia guided by you behind the scenes?" Yang Xiaoya asked.
"Hehe, that's not it, I didn't intervene at all on the New Asia side. They did it all themselves. Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Don't you see that their situation is dangerous?" Yang Xiaoya frowned.
"What's dangerous?" Wu Tiandao.
"By doing so, they will surely offend people. Now the mall is not just one of them, right? What if other families unite and fight a business war with New Asia? Yang Xiaoya said worriedly.
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh again, Yang Xiaoya really deserved to be a person who had been baptized on the world battlefield, this vision was really powerful, and he saw the problem at once.
According to the normal trajectory of history, New Asia has indeed triggered the joint resistance of several other large shopping malls in the mall, but the final result is that New Asia is the enemy of the five, proud of the others!
In the commercial history of the nineties, the Central Plains commercial war occupied a very heavy weight. At the beginning, New Asia achieved quite good results by using advertising, high-profile, and new ideas, but after all, other state-run shopping malls also reacted. Again, the new Asia had no choice but to use the killer weapon of commercial competition -- the method of price war.
In the price war, although New Asia did not lose to those heavy state-owned shopping malls, it also suffered a big injury, coupled with the subsequent decision-making mistakes, it finally declined and collapsed unanimously.
Therefore, the high-profile of New Asia that Yang Xiaoya realized at the moment was the bane of being jointly suppressed.
"Doing business, where can you not fight? If you really want to be peaceful, how can you have a bright future? Of course, Wu Tian would not tell Yang Xiaoya about the future he knew, but he also explained, "Even if those few join forces, they may not be able to fight against New Asia, it really can't work, in the future, find a way to win them together and divide them, and they can be broken individually, what's the big deal?" β
Yang Xiaoya was not persuaded by Wu Tian's explanation, shook her head, and said, "I don't know what the hell you have in mind, anyway, I'm not optimistic about this matter." Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, the money is yours anyway. Besides, there is no need to feel sorry for losing that money. β
Wu Tian laughed and said: "This makes sense, in the eyes of Mr. Yang, that money will be earned back in minutes, and there is really no need to feel distressed at all......"
"It doesn't take a minute!" Yang Xiaoya corrected, "Alas, Xiaotian, do you know what the stock market in Ridao is crazy about now? β
Wu Tian smiled and nodded.
Now the key battlefield of Zhongtian Company is on Ridao.
In the past two years, the economic bubble of the island is blowing bigger and bigger, since the eighty-seven years, the real estate has risen by 100 percent, the stock market is growing at a rapid rate of 200 percent, coupled with the variety of operation modes of Zhongtian, options trading accounts for the majority, compared to the original completion of the Black Monday war, Zhongtian's capital has now doubled or tripled, has already broken through the 10 billion dollar mark!
In addition, this is not to mention the part of the Zhongtian Fund - the huge amount of funds controlled by the Zhongtian Fund, and most of the profits are owned by Zhongtian Company, which is purely borrowing chickens to lay eggs and laying golden eggs!
Therefore, Yang Xiaoya said that five million yuan is not painful at all, it is really no exaggeration, the stock market of Ridao rises and falls a little bit, that is how many five million!
However, this kind of madness will not last long, Wu Tian vaguely remembers that the stock market of Ridao will collapse next year, and now it may be time to make some preparations, and when the time comes, turn over and short sell, and kill the little devil again......
