Chapter 160 Equity Replacement

2-in-1 chapter

######################

"How likely do you think it is that Lei Juekun will buy the Golden Princess Cinemas?" He Chaoqiong stood behind Gu Chen and asked while helping Gu Chen pinch his shoulder.

"It shouldn't be very likely, it's not necessarily how interested Lei Juekun himself is in movies, but he is optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong films, and it may not be so easy for him to sell the Golden Princess Cinemas. Maybe I have some ideas, but seriously, sometimes I really want Lei Juekun to burp like this, as long as there is no Lei Juekun, it will definitely be much easier to buy the Golden Princess Cinema than it is now. ”

"Hehehe, even if there is no Lei Juekun, then there is Pan Disheng to compete with you, didn't you read the newspaper that Pan Disheng and Lei Juekun's eldest son Lei Wenqing had a secret meeting in a nightclub, and then Lei Wenqing publicly expressed his support for Pan Disheng, the two of them should have reached an agreement."

"Hmph, Lei Wenqing is well-known in Hong Kong's rich circle, and if Pan Disheng gets too close to him, he may catch fire one day."

"In my opinion, Pan Disheng is at most to take advantage of Lei Wenqing, and he will not really have a deep friendship with him, but Lei Wenqing is really a puddle of mud that can't support the wall, they all say that the tiger father has no dogs, Lei Juekun is also a hero, why did he give birth to such a son, but Lei Wenjun is not bad, he is decent and obedient, although he may not be enterprising enough, but it should still be possible to keep the foundation of the Lei family."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "I also think that Lei Wenjun is a good person, and he is angry. Forget it, let's not talk about these worries. How is Lin Yilian's album prepared, it should be officially released soon, I seem to have heard that MTV is being filmed a few days ago? ”

"Well, it's almost, to be honest, Ah Lian's singing voice is indeed very good, and there are two songs you personally wrote for her on this album, which will definitely sell well." He Chaoqiong let go of the hand that was helping Gu Chen pinch his shoulder, walked to the sofa opposite Gu Chen and sat down, with a smile on his face, and said, "If you may not like to hear it, Ah Lian's singing voice is better than Hui Min's. ”

Gu Chen wisely didn't pick up this topic, but said, "What about the others, they should also be starting to prepare a new album, right?" ”

Andy, Ah Cheng and Ming Tsai's albums are all in production, and the initial promotion will start in a few days, and Andy's album will be released first in half a month. As for Rong Shao, his album will be released at about the same time as Ah Lian, and he has really put a lot of energy into this album. ”

This album is Zhang Guorong's first album after jumping to Tang Dynasty Records, Gu Chen tailor-made four songs for it, because of this, Zhang Guorong has great expectations for this album, and has participated in the production of the album since the beginning of the recording of music, sometimes so busy that he even forgets to eat, Gu Chen met him in the company the day before yesterday and found that he had lost a lot of weight, but he looked very energetic.

"I'm sure he'll feel like it's worth it when the album comes out." After saying this, Gu Chen smiled slightly and said lightly: "Everyone's new album is in progress, it seems that 1986 will be a bumper year for Tang Dynasty records." ”

He Chaoqiong said angrily: "How do I feel that you are praising yourself." ”

This year, all the albums released by all the contracted singers of Tang Dynasty Records include at least one song "created" by Gu Chen, and there is no doubt that these songs created by Gu Chen have all become the most powerful guarantee for the album's hot sales, such as the first album "Glorious Years" released by the Beyond band, with the three songs "Glorious Years", "Sea and Sky" and "Earth" created by Gu Chen, it has achieved 7 platinum monthly sales in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, and has become a palace-level band in Hong Kong from a newcomer band that has just debuted. Now Gu Chen said that 1986 would be a bumper year for Tang Dynasty records, wouldn't he be deliberately showing his achievements.

Gu Chen rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Am I as unbearable as you think, I just think that the company has developed well this year." ”

may have felt that he had misunderstood Gu Chen, He Chaoqiong's attitude immediately softened, got up and walked to Gu Chen's side and sat down, and said softly: "Okay, let's count me as misunderstanding you, let me tell you something, there have been rumors in the company recently that Ah Lian and Li Zongsheng are dating." ”

Gu Chen said indifferently: "Our company's principle has always been not to interfere in the private affairs of artists, and they will let them do it well." ”

"That's right, but I heard that Li Zongsheng had a girlfriend who had been dating for many years when he was in Taiwan, and the two had reached the point of talking about marriage. If this matter is exposed by the media, it will be a heavy blow to Ah Lian's image and reputation, and it will also indirectly cause losses to the company, do you say I can not interfere. ”

After He Chaoqiong said this, Gu Chen remembered that Li Zongsheng did get married in the mid-to-late 80s in his previous life, and later divorced because of Lin Yilian's intervention, but Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian's marriage did not last a few years before it ended in divorce again, "Then what do you say, you can't beat the mandarin ducks." Gu Chen stretched out his hand to hold He Chaoqiong's palm and kneaded it gently: "In my opinion, it's better to go with the flow, there is no one right or wrong in emotional matters, they may be in love now, and they may feel that they are not suitable for each other after a while." Besides, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and Ah Lian is not a third party when she is involved now. ”

He Chaoqiong thought about it for a while, and nodded helplessly, after all, she had nothing to do about it, so she could only go with the flow as Gu Chen said.

At this time, Gu Chen's eldest brother on the table rang loudly, Gu Chen picked it up and found that it was Lei Juekun calling, and hung up the phone after a few simple words, He Chaoqiong next to him heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "Lei Juekun called you to go to the hospital?" ”

Gu Chen frowned slightly and nodded: "Well, I'll go to the hospital first, and I'll look for you in the evening." Saying that, he leaned over and kissed He Chaoqiong on the lips, and then spread his palm in front of He Chaoqiong, who asked inexplicably, "What are you doing?" ”

"The key to your villa, you're not going to let me in the door of your villa forever."

Hearing this, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but show a smile on her face, glanced at Gu Chen fiercely, and then got up and took a key from her handbag and stuffed it into Gu Chen's hand, and at the same time didn't forget to warn: "If you make me angry again next time, it's not as simple as changing the door lock." ”

Gu Chen put the key in his pocket, stretched out his hand to grab He Chaoqiong, kissed the other party's lips again, and said with a wicked smile: "Baby is the most well-behaved, my husband must love you well at night." ”

He Chaoqiong's face turned crimson, and she gently pushed Gu Chen's chest: "Go, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and Lei Juekun should wait for a long time if he doesn't go." ”

……

Coming to the hospital, Lei Juekun was lying on the hospital bed, his expression was tired, Lei Wenjun was sitting on the edge of the bed and peeling apples, Gu Chen first nodded to Lei Wenjun, then looked at Lei Juekun, and asked in a concerned tone: "Does Mr. Lei feel better?" ”

Lei Juekun smiled reluctantly and said, "It's much better, thank you Gu Sheng for your concern, I came to Gu Sheng today mainly to talk about the Golden Princess Cinema." ”

Gu Chen's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Mr. Lei intends to sell the Golden Princess Cinema?" ”

Lei Juekun smiled and said, "Gu Sheng might as well take a look at my plan book first." ”

Gu Chen took the document handed over by Lei Wenjun with doubts, opened it and looked at it, and slowly his eyebrows gradually frowned, Lei Juekun did intend to sell the Golden Princess Cinema, but this sale was not a 'sale' in the traditional sense, and it was more appropriate to call it equity replacement.

There are two main contents in this plan, first: Lei Juekun estimated the 11 theaters under the Golden Princess Cinema Line, including Music Voice, Lisheng, Kaisheng, and Jin Hongji, at 155 million Hong Kong dollars, which is lower than Pan Disheng's acquisition offer, which is a very fair price;

Second: Merging the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, Kowloon Construction Industry accounted for 42.12% of the equity of the newly established cinema company, but Kowloon Construction actually only obtained 25% of the equity of the newly established cinema company, and the remaining 17.12% of the equity was exchanged for 17.12% of the equity of Tang Dynasty Film.

Third: All of Gu Chen's film investments in Hong Kong must be realized through Tang Dynasty Film Company. This is to prevent Gu Chen from starting a new stove, after all, the film company is not a real estate like a theater company, if Gu Chen really starts a new stove after the equity exchange takes effect, then the equity exchange will be completely meaningless, and the 17.12% equity worth more than 60 million is equivalent to a water ticket.

After reading this plan, Gu Chen already understood Lei Juekun's thoughts: although Lei Juekun intends to sell the Golden Princess Cinema for some reason, he is still unwilling to quit the film industry, at least from the perspective of equity exchange, he is very confident in Gu Chen's Tang Dynasty films.

In fact, it's no wonder Lei Juekun is so confident, Tang Dynasty Films has only released 4 films so far this year, which is not much, but the total box office of these four films in Hong Kong alone has reached more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars, bringing at least more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in net income.

And that's not including "Double Dragon Club," "Jiupin Sesame Official," which will be released before the Lunar New Year, and "Eight Star Annunciation," which will be released before the Lunar New Year, and if you count these three films, Tang Dynasty Films' net revenue this year will reach nearly HK$200 million, which is an incredible number for other film companies in Hong Kong.

In a flash of thought, Gu Chen quickly made a decision in his heart: "I agree in principle with Mr. Lei's idea of merging the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, and there is no problem with 25% of the equity, but I think it is still up to the discussion to exchange the remaining 17.12% of the equity for the same equity of the Tang Dynasty Film." ”

"Maybe in your opinion, Mr. Lei, the valuation of Tang Dynasty films at more than 360 million (this data is calculated, as for how it was obtained, you can calculate it yourself) is already very high, but in my opinion, the future value of Tang Dynasty films is far more than that."

Lei Juekun frowned and said, "Then Gu Sheng thinks it's appropriate to change how much equity?" ”

Gu Chen didn't answer directly, but groaned and said: "In this way, I will provide two plans for Mr. Lei to choose, first, I will use 80 million cash to buy this 17.12% equity; Second, in exchange for 8% of the Tang Dynasty film equity, this is my bottom line. ”

exchanged more than 60 million shares for 8% of the equity of Tang Dynasty Films, so that now Tang Dynasty Films are worth nearly 800 million Hong Kong dollars in Gu Chen's heart. Although Lei Juekun felt that this estimate was a bit high, he didn't feel that Gu Chen was asking for a price. Because what he has always looked at is not a Tang Dynasty movie, but Gu Chen. What's more, even if calculated based on the current performance of Tang Dynasty films, he exchanged more than 60 million shares for 8% of Tang Dynasty films, and he will be able to earn back with interest in just 5 years.

As for the first plan proposed by Gu Chen: he didn't even think about acquiring 17.12% of the equity with 80 million cash, if he only valued the immediate interests, he would just sell the Golden Princess Cinema directly, and the price was definitely higher than the 155 million he estimated, so why bother.
