Chapter 596: Fine Arts Change Hands
Hong Kong's new film classification system tossed for two months, and finally it was difficult to give birth, on the one hand, the Hong Kong government's passive response, and on the other hand, the film company did not cooperate. Although public opinion was outrageous, it was still over.
In the past two months, a lot of major events have happened, the first is that "Full of Gold" has finally been completed after a year of filming. The second is that "Love in a Fallen City" has finally been completed after three and a half months of filming. The third is that Sir Shao sold Jiayi TV at a price of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the acquirer is Jianing Group, a god stock in the Hong Kong stock market this year.
Jianing Group invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars in Jiayi TV Station, and acquired all the shares in Sir Shao's hands for 40 million Hong Kong dollars behind the scenes, becoming a well-deserved major shareholder of Jiayi TV.
After Jianing Group became the owner of Jiayi TV, it immediately announced that it would invest one billion Hong Kong dollars to build Jiayi TV into the No. 1 TV station in Hong Kong.
After the announcement of this plan, the shares of Jianing Group soared again, and it seems that people are full of confidence in Jianing Group, just as people were confident in Xu Guanwu before.
The reason why Jianing Group is so popular is mainly due to the company's soaring stock price this year. From the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, the stock has been rising wildly, from only three yuan eight at the beginning, and now it has risen to eight yuan nine, which is a very rare image in the stock market. At the beginning, only a small number of companies with good performance would be so popular, such as Xu Guanwu's Xu's supermarket.
Mr. Tan Chung Ching, chairman of Jianing Group, was also famous in Hong Kong for two of the largest single real estate transactions in the world at the time, and legend has it that he also had an official Malaysian background and was the business spokesperson of a large family. All kinds of auras shrouded Chen Songqing's body. It makes this person more and more mysterious. It's not to be underestimated. And this person, like Xu Guanwu's personality, will never accept media interviews, which makes people feel more and more confused, and there is a feeling that the dragon has no end in sight.
Regarding Chen Songqing's bold statement that he would buy Jiayi TV and plan to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars to build it into the No. 1 ratings in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu did not feel too threatened.
To be honest, if Jiayi TV can't lift the screening restrictions, then its ratings won't turn over at all. Even in other periods, the ratings were good. But without the golden four hours of time, it is difficult to earn back the advertising costs. The more you invest now, the more you will lose in the future.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Chen Songqing is very confident, and it seems that the majority of Hong Kong citizens also have great confidence in him. Even the media called Chen Songqing "Xu Guanwu's second", believing that he and Xu Guanwu had many similarities.
For example, they are also geniuses in management, Xu Guanwu has accumulated a lot of wealth in just a few years since he started from scratch; Chen Songqing also came to Hong Kong for a short time, but he bought and sold the Golden Gate Building twice, and made a net profit of nearly 700 million Hong Kong dollars within half a year. It's also amazing how fast you can make money.
The other two can be called mystic, and Xu Guanwu rarely accepts interviews with foreign media. The only few interviews were also through his own media, so the outside world has always been in a fog about his wealth; Chen Songqing was also reluctant to be interviewed. This coincides with Xu Guanwu.
There are also two who are now involved in the real estate industry and the entertainment industry. The difference is that Xu Guanwu transferred from the entertainment industry to the real estate industry, while Chen Songqing moved from the real estate industry to the entertainment industry. The same thing is that now both of them are quite successful in the real estate and media fields, and there may be a dragon fight in the future.
Since Chen Songqing joined Jiayi TV and announced an investment of one billion to cheer up Jiayi, the media has been comparing him with Xu Guanwu. The media is not too big to see the excitement, and there is no contradiction to deliberately provoke it, not to mention that Xu Guanwu and Chen Songqing are now opposite.
After all, Xu Guanwu's TVB is the No. 1 TV station in Hong Kong, and now Chen Songqing said that he wants to make Jiayi TV the No. 1 TV station in ratings, so that TVB and Jiayi will have a title defense battle sooner or later, and TVB's owner Xu Guanwu and Jiayi's owner Chen Songqing will also have a dragon fight sooner or later.
Now the media is trying their best to play up this topic, as if Xu Guanwu and Chen Songqing are about to fight to the death in the ring.
It's just that no matter how fierce the media is, there is no response from the parties. Chen Songqing, for his part, has not been interviewed by the media and continues to maintain his mysticism. Xu Guanwu, on the other hand, stays at home every day as an otaku and practices calligraphy with a brush every day.
After he retired, Chen Songqing, who was "Xu Guanwu's second", suddenly appeared in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu was slightly dissatisfied. That Chen Songqing is not the same way as himself at all, but he insists on comparing himself with himself, which is really annoying.
And Xu Guanwu also has a trace of doubts about the myth of Jianing advocated by the media, he always feels that if Chen Songqing is really a good manager, then he will definitely choose Li's TV station, and will not choose Jiayi TV station, which is congenitally deficient. Although the ratings of Li's TV station have been miserable since the Australian consortium became a shareholder, it is only a temporary anemia, and as long as the blood transfusion is made in time, Li's TV station can still be recovered. But Jiayi TV Station was replaced with blood cancer, which is a problem in the bones, even if the investment is large, it is useless, unless the bone marrow can be replaced.
……
"Ah Wu, this issue of the newspaper compares Chen Songqing with you again, and even words like 'replacing Xu Guanwu' have popped up." Lin Qingxia looked at the newspaper while sipping coffee, and said with a smile at Xu Guanwu.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Want to replace me?" Unless in the next life. By the way, Qingxia, come and see, how is my big lettering, I feel that I write very emotionally. ”
Lin Qingxia heard Xu Guanwu say so confidently, she couldn't help but put down her coffee cup and walked over to take a look, and saw that the large white paper read, "One world, one dream." ”
"How's that, isn't it? How about waiting for me to find someone to frame it another day and hang it in the living room? Xu Guanwu said with a smile at Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia flattened her mouth, "You, don't waste paper." When I was in elementary school, I wrote calligraphy better than you. ”
Xu Guanwu's face darkened. "No taste. I won't let you appreciate it next time. I'm going to go to Ah Zhi for a review. ”
"Alright, don't be angry. You've only been practicing calligraphy for a long time, it's only two months in total, so it's good to have basic skills. Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "Well-known calligraphers often have to practice for more than ten or twenty years before they can achieve something, even if you are a genius, at least you have to practice for a few years first." ”
"Well, you have a point." Xu Guanwu smiled. "Then give me the newspaper you just read, and I'll see how he drags it."
Lin Qingxia smiled and handed the newspaper to Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanwu took it and looked at it, but saw that the title was "Jianing intends to buy Shaw Brothers, and Chen Songqing enters the big screen." The content said that Chen Songqing intends to buy the veteran film company Shaw Brothers at a price of 26 yuan, but has not yet received a response from Uncle Shao Liu. If the deal can be successful, Chen Songqing will become the owner of the time-honored Shaw Brothers, and use this to enter the film industry, and sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle with Xu Guanwu.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but shake his head after reading the report, "Chen Songqing, this guy is crazy." Twenty-six dollars per share to acquire Shaw Brothers?! At its peak, Shaw's stock price was only $13 per share. ”
"Now the media is boasting about him all day long, and they are about to blow him to the sky." Lin Qingxia also frowned and said. "'Xu Guanwu second', is this head called casually?"
"Well, my good wife, don't be angry. Isn't Miss Hu Huizhong also called 'Kobayashi Qingxia'? In my opinion, she is still not as good as you. Xu Guanwu said to her with a smile.
"Hmph, I hate these people who promote other people's names the most. Is it okay to write Hu Huizhong as Hu Huizhong, do you have to say that it is Kobayashi Qingxia, what is the resemblance between her and me? Lin Qingxia said angrily.
"Hehe, don't say it, it looks really similar at first glance." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Guanwu singing against herself, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but step on his foot angrily, which made Xu Guanwu suddenly scream in pain.
"By the way, Ah Wu, you've been retired for more than two months, and you're always sitting at home reading and writing, don't you feel bored?" Lin Qingxia suddenly asked Xu Guanwudao, "Can't you find something serious to do?" ”
"What serious things are you looking for, is it to make money or make money or make money?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile, "The ancients said that stealing half a day of leisure, it can be seen that the word 'leisure' is the rarest." Now that I have money, a wife, and children, I naturally want to enjoy it. ”
"But I always feel that it's not a problem for you to stay at home all the time, and it just so happens that the weather is good today, why don't we go out and go shopping? Do you also go out for a walk and get some fresh air? Lin Qingxia asked with a smile.
"The streets are full of car exhaust fumes, so how can I breathe any fresh air?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Besides, I was bombed last time I went out with you, what will I encounter when I go out with you this time?" ”
"Alright, let's go. Just be a companion. Seeing this, Lin Qingxia had no choice but to come over and hold Xu Guanwu's arm and say coquettishly.
"Okay." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Bring a parasol, the sun is enough outside." ”
"Yes." Lin Qingxia nodded, and took a car with Xu Guanwu to Central, a shopping paradise.
As soon as the car got off Victoria Hill and passed by Carlston Road, I saw a lot of people in front of me.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he saw this, "Look, I can't tell." Something might be wrong. ”
"Really?! Let's go down and have a look. When Lin Qingxia heard this, she said with some interest.
"Hello Ba Po, what's so nice about this kind of excitement, it's either a crash or a fight, and you're not afraid of splashing you?" Xu Guanwu pouted and said, before he finished speaking, Lin Qingxia had already opened the car door and walked out.
Xu Guanwu stayed in the car and didn't want to go outside to get sunbathed, but after a while, Lin Qingxia ran back in a little panic, "Ah Wu, come out and take a look, I heard that a director is going to jump off the building." You see if it's our company. ”
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly got out of the car and came to the scene. On the roof of a sixth-floor building on the side of the street, a person was sitting on the edge drinking beer and crying, looking very sad. His legs were now on the outside, and if he held his hands at this point, he would probably fall off.
There were also police officers present to help persuade him, but the man just cried, and after crying, he scolded again, saying that the movie did not sell money, and he was being collected by a loan shark, and it was better to jump off the building and die than to be hacked to death. After scolding, he started drinking again, and after drinking, he started crying again, and after crying, he started scolding again, and he looked very excited.
Lin Qingxia watched from the sidelines, "Ah Wu, he is not an employee of our company, right?" ”
"It's not like it, I know all the directors of the company, but I've never seen this one." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "But since it's a peer, you can't ignore it when you see it." ”
After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he stepped forward and came to the policeman who was holding a loud voice to persuade him, and proposed to let him shout a few words. The police began to see that he was familiar, and then when they heard that it was Xu Guanwu, they hurriedly gave him the loud voice directly.
Xu Guanwu took it and said loudly, "Listen upstairs, friends, I'm Xu Guanwu from the Xu Group, tell me if you have any difficulties, I can help you." (To be continued......)
