Chapter 246: Joining TVB? (below)

Xu Guanwu saw that the three brothers were unwilling to accept his suggestion, so he had to put aside the dispute for the time being, and wait for the right time to raise it later.

"By the way, there's one more thing, I want to join TVB." Xu Guanwu suddenly proposed.

"What?!" The three brothers were all stunned.

"What are you doing, second brother, you really think of one play and one play. TVB only earns a few million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is not as much as our movie. If you want to make money, just make a few more movies. Why do you want to get involved in the TV industry, there is no future. Xu Guanjie frowned and said.

"Ah SAM is right, Hong Kong only has a few million viewers, and the market is too small." Xu Guanwen waved his hand and said, "His advertising expenses for a year are not as much as your "Daily Daily", so why do you bother to run a TV station?" Tired and unprofitable. ”

"Second brother, eldest brother and Ah SAM are right. There's really nothing to do with TV, how can there be such a beautiful big screen? Xu Guanying also persuaded, "And TVB is chaired by Li Xiao and Li Jia, if you want to fight with him, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." ”

"A-Ying is right, the Li family is a famous family in Hong Kong, you have nothing to provoke him to do." Xu Guanwen also waved his hand.

Xu Guanwu wants to slap the table, TVB is indeed a small business now, and it only makes a few million dollars a year, but in the future, TVB will have an annual net profit of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is definitely a company worth investing in.

And the communication effect of the TV station is much stronger than that of the newspaper, if there is a wireless TV station, in the future, Jiayi TV station, Li's TV station will be all under his command. Xu Guanwu has three TV stations. It is now possible to control public opinion in Hong Kong almost completely.

Wow! Until then. If anyone dares to go against it, it is really going to be pointed at by a thousand people! It's beautiful when you think about it!

"Don't discuss this anymore, I've already made a decision." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "TV is an emerging industry, and the energy contained in it has not exploded. It's like when the film was just a few years old, who would dare to say that it could become the seventh major art of shijie? ”

"We don't want you to waste your talent, after all, there are so many opportunities to make money now. But since you have to be willing to join TVB, then we can only bless you. Xu Guanwen saw that the second brother was angry. Hurriedly tried to persuade.

"That's right, second brother, why bother with TV? I think making movies is much more promising than making TV series. Xu Guanying also said.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand and didn't want to explain too much, and after the meeting with his brothers, he went to find Shen Bi, the manager of HSBC.

"Mr. Shen, why do you have time to come over today? Is there something you want to command? Shen Bi asked with a smile.

"Of course, I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall today." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Oh?! If there is anything you can say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help. Shen Bi nodded.

"I want to buy the shares of TVB held by HSBC, and I also want you to buy the shares in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa and Times Life International for me." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu. How can you be interested in playing TV, it's just a small business. Earn millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, and the interest rate you have in the bank is not as high. Shen Bi asked with a smile.

"Of course, I see the potential of the TV station, and I think it will grow into a big deal in the future." Xu Guanwu smiled, "How about it, can you sell it to me?" ”

"As long as the price is right, there's nothing you can't sell." Shen Bi said with a smile, "We have a total of 2.36 million shares in our hands, how about ten yuan per share?" ”

"Ten dollars?!" Xu Guanwu quickly calculated in his heart, "Yes, just according to the price." The other two, you also helped me buy them. ”

"Okay, so pay with the money you have in the bank, or take a loan from us?" Shen Bi said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh too, in addition to saving money in HSBC, he also deposited a sum in Hang Seng Bank. The money there was mainly dividends from subsidiaries such as the Hui Brothers, the record company, and the "Daily Daily" newspaper, and more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars were also saved.

The rent of those 20 properties alone is as high as 60 million Hong Kong dollars in a year and a half. Not to mention the dividends of "Daily Daily", Yisheng Records and Xu's Brothers.

However, he did not deposit all of them in HSBC, the first egg should not be put in the same basket, and the second one was not familiar with HSBC, but the eldest brother had some friendship with Hang Seng Bank. So when I opened an account, I opened it together in Hang Seng Bank.

However, it is a pity that the vitality of Hang Seng Bank was greatly damaged in 73 and 74, so it was very inconvenient for the bank to tighten loans at that time, so Xu Guanwu turned to HSBC for help, and thus got in touch.

Xu Guanwu knew that Shen Bi wanted to take out a loan from HSBC, because people like him who had the ability and strength to repay the money were the most willing partners of the bank. However, Shen Bi is destined to be disappointed today.

"You better invest the money in the bank for me and absorb a little Hutchison Whampoa stock." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "As for the money for the acquisition of TVB, I will transfer the deposit of Hang Seng Bank." ”

"That's a shame." Shen Bi saw that Xu Guanwu had no intention of taking out a loan, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "By the way, why do you want to buy Hutchison Whampoa stocks?" It's not doing very well right now, and the stock price has been very depressed. Are you looking to buy it? ”

"No, I'm not interested in running a foreign business." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "It's just that I think it still has a comeback, so I want to take advantage of its trough to copy the bottom." ”

"That's a pity, in fact, according to your investment vision, I really want to hand over Hutchison Whampoa to you to take care of." Shen Bi shook his head with a look of regret, "Actually, it is a good thing for you to be in charge of Hutchison Whampoa, there has never been a Chinese person who has held the position of a foreign bank, if you join Hutchison Whampoa, you will become the first Chinese in Hong Kong, which will also greatly improve your social status." ”

Shen Bi still persuaded him step by step, after all, it is rare for a talent to soar to $400 million in two years. Shen Bi privately studied Xu Guanwu's information in detail. Be amazed by his investment vision. None of them seem to have been missed. So I had the heart to hand over Hutchison Whampoa to him.

Xu Guanwu still shook his head when he heard this, he only knew that Hutchison Whampoa was making a comeback in the hands of Li Jiacheng, but he didn't know how to do it, if he took over, it would only make a mess. Besides, why do you work hard for yourself, is it just to pull a trap for others to plow the field?

Xu Guanwu is determined to come here to enjoy the blessings, so he doesn't want to make himself miserable, so he won't pick up that heavy burden. However, he bought some shares in advance, and took the opportunity to suck blood after Li Jiacheng became the owner. It's still something Xu Guanwu is very happy to do.

Seeing Xu Guanwu's blunt refusal again, Shen Bi had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, "Originally, you were one of my favorite candidates, but unfortunately you have no interest in running a foreign bank, it seems that I have to find someone else." ”

"Don't worry, there are so many business talents in Hong Kong, and most of them are self-made like me, so you don't have to worry about finding the right person to take over." Xu Guanwu smiled.

……

After leaving HSBC, Xu Guanwu immediately transferred the money deposited in Hang Seng Bank to Shen Bi, and then asked him to help buy the shares in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa and Times Life International.

After all these things have been done. Xu Guanwu rushed back to the company to participate in the seven-person group meeting.

As soon as he entered the door, Hong Jingbao looked at Xu Guanwu with joy. "Mr. Xu, I heard that we are going to adjust our salary?"

"Wow! You are so well-informed, who revealed it to you? Xu Guanwu smiled, "I didn't expect that there were still moles around me?" ”

"No, no......" Hong Jingbao hurriedly waved his hand, "How much can you mention this time?" Mr. Xu, let me know about it first. ”

"What's the hurry, when the meeting comes, I'll bring it up directly." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "When the time comes, we will discuss the details in detail." ”

"Yes." Hong Jingbao nodded and sat down with Xu Guanwu.

Moments later, all seven of them arrived, and the meeting officially began.

Xu Guanwu coughed, and was about to speak, when he saw Zeng Zhiwei, Mai Jia, and Hong Jingbao all looking at him and laughing, and couldn't help but be happy, "Everyone is laughing very ambiguously, and they all know about the salary increase." ”

"That's right, Mr. Xu, how much can it go up this time?" Zeng Zhiwei asked anxiously.

"At present, the plan is that the behind-the-scenes staff will generally increase by two percent, and the screenwriters, editors, and dubbing will share the box office dividends in Hong Kong, and the proportion is one percent for screenwriters and editors, and two percent for dubbing." Xu Guanwu introduced, "The salaries of directors, producers, and leading actors remain unchanged, and they become 3% of the box office in Hong Kong. What do you think of this plan? ”

"It's not bad, a play that sells two million will cost 60,000 points, and if it sells three million, it will cost 90,000 points." Everyone thinks it's not bad, and each drama is at least tens of thousands more. If the screenwriter, director and leading actor are shouldered, they can get more than 100,000 yuan.

"Mr. Xu, I have a question about screenwriting." Hong Jingbao said suddenly.

"Please." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"That's the case, it is difficult for the company's screenwriters to complete the script independently, most of them are together to make jokes, and sometimes the script needs to be revised temporarily to make a movie. In this way, the script has been handed over many times, and so many people have participated together, how can it be distributed fairly? Hong Jingbao asked.

"Yes, sometimes when the script is brought in, our seven-member group also gives opinions and revisions, so can we also share the money?" Zeng Zhiwei also asked.

"Mai Jia, what is the system in the United States in this regard?" Hong Jingbao asked Mai Jiadao again.

"After the Hollywood film company buys the script, it will also go through layers of revisions, some change the story structure, and some delete the lines...... After revisions over and over again, Zuihou and the previous script have been completely judged as two people. Mai Jia spread her hands and said, "But after the script must be really determined, it can't be changed, even the director has no right to modify it, and can only implement it according to the content of the script, otherwise it will be directly replaced by the producer." ”

"How can it be modified over and over again? In that case, how long does it take to make a film? It will take three or two months to change the script. Hong Jingbao waved his hand.

"That is, Hollywood films in the United States are actually relatively large investments, and when it comes to the watchability of stories, they are still not as good as our Hong Kong." Zeng Zhiwei also said, "Why are our Hong Kong movies called Oriental Hollywood, not because of anything else, but because we have flexible brains, good movies, and wonderful shooting." Unlike the Americans, whose heads are frozen, their bodies are locked up by the system, and the slightest change can NO.NO.NO. ”

"What Zhiwei said is that the American system is different from the Hong Kong system, and we can't completely copy the United States." Hong Jingbao also nodded.

"Then the screenwriter's share is calculated like this, the collective creation will be evenly distributed, and the independent completion will enjoy exclusive dividends." Xu Guanwen thought for a while and said, "If our seven-person group gives advice, don't participate in the dividends, and entering the seven-person group itself has already increased the salary." There are also screenwriters who can modify according to the opinions we give, and they can get full dividends. If the modification cannot be completed, we need to find someone else to repair it, and the dividends will be shared according to the proportion of the modification. ”

"I'm for it!" Liang Shuyi raised her hand. (To be continued......)
