Chapter 191: The Dust Has Settled

A few days later, Tang Dynasty Petroleum Co., Ltd. was established in Hong Kong, the company was registered in the Cayman Islands, the chairman is Gu Chen, the shareholders are Gu Chen and George Walker Bush, the company's registered capital is 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which Gu Chen contributed 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 70% of the shares, and George Walker Bush invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 30% of the shares. Literally, such an equity distribution is undoubtedly a loss for Gu Chen, but is this really the case? As long as Bush Jr. can be brought in, even if Gu Chen is willing to let Bush Jr. account for 30 percent of the shares without a penny of funds, no one can imagine what kind of glory the Bush family will create in the future, and the small losses it suffers now will be earned back more than ten times or even dozens of times in the future. Moreover, building a good relationship with George W. Bush is not just a matter of making money.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company, an agreement was quickly reached with the Eastern Petroleum Company, and the two companies would jointly contribute 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in half of their respective proportions, of which 1.66 billion yuan would be used to acquire 78% of the shares of the Singapore Petroleum Company, and Fok Yingdong originally planned to acquire the 22% shares in the hands of the Singapore government.

However, Gu Chen feels that the Singapore government's control of the 22% stake will be more conducive to the company's development, because as a vested interest, Singapore will definitely tilt and relax its policies. After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Huo Yingdong also felt reasonable, so he accepted Gu Chen's proposal.

Another HK$640 million is an injection of capital into the company to complete the company's broken capital chain.

It took only two days for Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company and Oriental Petroleum Company to reach a final agreement with Singapore Petroleum Company - Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company and Eastern Petroleum Company acquired a total of 78% of the shares held by the four private shareholders of Singapore Petroleum Company at a premium of 16% (1.66 billion Hong Kong dollars), and the debtor with a debt of US$140 million is still Singapore Petroleum Company. That is, the new PetroSingapore accepted all the debts.

After the signing of the agreement, due to the joint injection of 640 million Hong Kong dollars into the company by Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company and Oriental Petroleum Company, the shares held by the Singapore government were diluted, and the final shareholding distribution was: Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company held 50.3% of the shares, Oriental Petroleum Company held 41.2% of the shares, and the Singapore government held 8.5% of the shares.

The reason why the shares of Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company and Eastern Petroleum Company are unevenly distributed is because this acquisition can be achieved entirely because of George Bush, so it is understandable that Tang Dynasty Petroleum Company has more shares, and Huo Yingdong also finds it acceptable.

After the completion of the acquisition, the company's board of directors and senior management immediately adjusted, and according to the proportion of shares, Gu Chen naturally served as the chairman of the board of directors; Fok Yingdong serves as the executive vice chairman of the board of directors and presides over the daily work of the board of directors, which is also a condition for Fok Yingdong to reduce the equity requirements.

In addition, the Singapore government has appointed an independent director to the company.

The original president of the company also walked away, and the new president Li Zhengshi was nominated by Huo Yingdong and passed smoothly without objection from Gu Chen.

In order to acquire matters and the reorganization of the company after the acquisition, Gu Chen and Huo Yingdong flew to Singapore in person, stayed for more than half a month, and even spent the Spring Festival in Singapore.

Then "50 First Loves" starring Liang Jiahui and Wang Guxian officially landed in Hong Kong theaters during the Lantern Festival, and the media's expectations for this movie were not high, although the film has powerful stars such as the third Academy Award actor Leung Jiahui and the popular first-line actress Wang Guxian as the two heroines, and in the publicity, "50 First Loves" is a love comedy, but the media does not think that Leung Jiahui's comedy can have anything to see. Sure enough, the box office after the release of the movie was basically in line with the media's expectations, and the box office of "50 First Loves" on the first day was only 2.47 million, according to the previous box office of Tang Dynasty Film Company, this result can only be regarded as average.

However, from the second day, the box office began to rise rapidly, and on the fourth day, it even created the highest single-day box office record of 3.48 million Hong Kong films, with a total of 22.17 million box office in the first week, another record number, which can be described as falling below the glasses of bad people.

Although somewhat unexpected, it is undeniable that "50 First Loves" is an excellent movie, and most media outlets have praised it in subsequent reports.

Very old-fashioned amnesia stories, but compared to the pretentious ones in the past, I don't know how many times the so-called love story is good, the story is told wonderfully, the patterns are renovated, fresh and pleasing but there are tears in laughter, which makes people unconsciously moved. I believe that all women are very envious of Qianqian, not because she has a considerate and loving boyfriend, but because she will always forget - "Movie Fortnightly"

It's very relaxed and romantic, I like this kind of Liang Jiahui, I think he is really suitable for this role, if I let myself face such a person every day, I think life will be very beautiful - "Cheng Pao"

I thought it was funny at first glance, but after savoring it, I realized the bitterness of Li Nande's brains racking in order to win Qianqian's heart, especially after seeing the most sour, I felt a little sour, always like falling in love with you for the first time, maybe the first love is really the most beautiful - "Sing Tao Daily"

Sitting in the theater and watching the movie, laughing and laughing, I unconsciously left tears, a little sour, but it seems to have a little sweet taste, which is a very peculiar feeling. There is no doubt that Gu Chen has conquered everyone again - "Oriental Daily"

Skillful acting, unpretentious expressions, and slightly exaggerated body movements...... never thought that Leung Jiahui's comedy could be so good-looking, maybe with this movie, Leung Jiahui can win the Academy Award again. Of course, this will have to wait until next year - Ming Pao
