Chapter 551: Negotiation (Part II)
Zhao Zhenqiang and Ren Dawei were sent away here, but Lei Juekun was ushered in over there, and he was accompanied by the successor of the Liao family, Liao Renbao.
Xu Guanwu's impression of Liao Renbao is not bad, and he feels that he is a little less lofty than the sons and daughters of other great families.
"Hello, Mr. Xu." When Liao Renbao saw Xu Guanwu, he first took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Xu's business talent is incomparable, and my father often teaches me to learn more from Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "Don't dare, don't dare, please take a seat." ”
"Little brother, the feng shui in your hall is good." Lei Juekun said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen a feng shui array in the company, and I actually raise sharks." ”
"Really?" Xu Guanwu smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, whether it's a shark or a goldfish, as long as it works." ”
"It works, it must work, seeing that your office is so magnificent, you will know that your feng shui here has accumulated wealth." Lei Juekun smiled.
"Yes, the feng shui of the Xu headquarters is ingenious, and it is also unique in Hong Kong, no wonder the Xu family has developed so fast over the years, Mr. Xu, which feng shui master did you ask to see the feng shui, can you introduce it to me later?" Liao Renbao also asked with a smile.
"The Liao family is also doing a lot of banking business now, so there is no need to put up any feng shui bureaus." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "It's our companies, it's absolutely impossible not to set up a feng shui bureau." ”
"Mr. Xu is too modest." Liao Renbao waved his hand and said, "The performance of Xu's Group in recent years is obvious to all, which really makes us very admired. This time, our Liao family wants to get involved in the film and television industry. Please also ask Mr. Xu to give me advice. ”
Xu Guanwu smiled when he heard this. Let's be honest. If he wasn't the one who came through time, then the Liao family wanted to invest in making a movie for him, and he must be very happy in his heart. Because in this way, you can share a lot of your own risks, and borrowing other people's money to make money is what a successful businessman does.
However, since he is a traverser, he has long known the development of the trend of Lu Dao, and he knows which star will be popular and which film will be a big hit. That movie will fail, which director is talented...... Everything is already under his control, how can he be willing to give a dividend to others?!
Therefore, he has no interest in the Liao family's proposal to invest in Hui's films, but if the Liao family really wants to invest in Hong Kong films, it is not without other opportunities. Xu Guanwu can give them preferential treatment in theaters, and if the quality of the movie is good, he can give them some good schedules. But if the quality of the movie is really average, and it's just a bad movie that follows the trend and hype, then I have to say sorry.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think?" Liao Renbao saw Xu Guanwu's laughter full of disdain. I couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Xu Guanwu smiled and glanced at Liao Renbao. "I don't know how the Liao family plans to learn from me?"
"If you can invest in movies with Mr. Xu, it will be the best." Liao Renbao said with a smile, he was blunt, and he got to the point at once.
Among the films produced by the Hui Group, except for a few films produced by the Asian rising star director in the early days, which lost money, the other films were all very profitable. The profitability rate is several times, especially now with the huge film market in the United States, Xu's film return on investment has not fallen five times.
Such a rate of return is naturally very attractive, ordinary business has a 20% rate of return is already considered profitable, 50% of the rate of return is enough to make people laugh and wake up, double the rate of return is even willing to commit crimes, and a five-fold rate of return is really more profitable than poison and arms smuggling.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this, and sure enough, Liao Renbao's answer did not exceed his expectations. If you want to invest in movies with Xu's, let's go to the next life!
"What does Mr. Xu mean......" Liao Renbao couldn't help frowning when he saw that Xu Guanwu was just laughing, but he didn't express his opinion.
Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "To be honest, our Xu family is not short of funds at all for filming now, and to put it mildly, the liquidity in my hands is even more than the reserves of your bank." Besides, everyone knows that I have a high investment vision, and I rarely make mistakes in business, so I don't need you to take risks for me at all. So I can only say sorry for your proposal. ”
Liao Renbao heard Xu Guanwu say this, his face couldn't help but change, and he also knew that what Xu Guanwu said was the truth. Don't say anything else, but the money he made in the stock market has really topped the reserves of Liao's Bank. In terms of the huge cash flow, it really can't be compared.
As for Xu Guanwu's investment vision, he is not even boastful, and when he almost never makes a mistake, even the United States is favored. Hong Kong worships him as the God of Wealth, so naturally he has the confidence to speak.
"In that case, what is the cooperation that Mr. Xu mentioned?" Liao Renbao couldn't help but ask a little angrily.
He also wanted to negotiate this business with Xu Guanwu this time, but from the moment he met Xu Guanwu, the initiative was always in the hands of others, which made Liao Renbao feel very uncomfortable.
You must know that those who come to the company to apply for loans, but Young Master Liao and Young Master Liao surrounded him for a short time, and moved over with a basket of polite words, which is like now that he is smiling and welcoming others, but he ignores them.
"Why didn't Mr. Lei mention it to you before?" When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but glance at Lei Juekun suspiciously.
Lei Juekun smiled, "I only know that the Liao family is the most sincere, so I invited him." As for how you will cooperate, you will need to meet in person. ”
Xu Guanwu smiled, but scolded the old fox in his heart, knowing that no one on both sides of the road could not afford to offend, but fortunately, the person who only did the matchmaking refused to do anything in the middle.
"My idea is that your Liao family can invest in filming movies by themselves, and if you want to screen it in my brilliant theater, I can arrange a schedule for you at your discretion." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.
"But our Liao family has never done the film business before, and we don't know anything about the production process of movies." Liao Renbao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, one guest is not bothering the two masters. Could you please take us for a while? ”
"Huh. It's okay if you don't understand. You can learn it slowly. I didn't know anything about movies at the beginning, and now I'm a media mogul. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "There are so many independent production companies in Hong Kong now, if your Liao family has the money to buy one casually, and then give them money to make a movie, it won't be over." ”
Liao Renbao was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Guanwu to refuse so quickly, and there was no room for bargaining at all.
"Mr. Liao, I see that your character is not bad. So I'll be honest with you. There are so many independent studios in Hong Kong, and some of them want to release their films in our brilliant theaters, but I haven't made any promises to them until now. I can agree to consider arranging a schedule for you as appropriate, which is already very generous to you. Xu Guanwu smiled.
Liao Renbao knew that what Xu Guanwu said was indeed the truth, and now Brilliant Cinemas is indeed biased towards Xu's own films, and the films produced by independent production companies are basically arranged in the corners of the schedule. Now that he can agree to consider arranging the schedule as appropriate, it is indeed an exceptional preferential treatment.
However, this kind of preferential treatment is enough for other film companies, but it is far from enough for the Liao family to only enjoy this kind of preferential treatment. Early on, they conceived of investing in the Hui Group and owning a part of the shares of the Hui Group. However, this condition has not yet been proposed. was vetoed by the current parents of the Liao family.
Xu Guanwu is no longer a soft persimmon that everyone can handle, and the Liao family is not able to cover the sky with one hand in Hong Kong. Forcibly buying into other people's companies is actually similar to strong women. If you mention it, you will never die as a sworn enemy. So they took a step back and proposed to invest in Hui's films, and then the profits were divided according to the proportion of investment.
originally thought that this kind of cooperation conditions were generous enough, after all, the Liao family only paid for the film, and Xu Guanwu didn't have to worry about the fall of power at all. But it was this proposal that was supposed to be foolproof, but it was directly rejected by Xu Guanwu ruthlessly, which made Liao Renbao feel hot on his face.
"Mr. Xu, although your conditions are already very generous, there are still some shortcomings for our Liao family." Liao Renbao smiled and said, "Do you think this is good, I won't rob you of the Art and Art Cinema Line, but in terms of the Brilliant Cinema Line, please allow us to take a stake in Liao's family?" ”
"Stake?!" Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, why are the children of the current family brainless? With Xu's current scale and current performance, do you still need to rely on foreign capital? Even if you want to buy shares, it won't be the turn of the Liao family.
"Yes, our Liao family has a stake in the Brilliant Cinema Line, so we will also have a cinema chain, but you are still responsible for taking care of the daily affairs, Mr. Xu, and we will only send someone to supervise it." Liao Renbao said with a smile.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he really wanted to say to Liao Renbao, "Your shameless appearance has the charm of my time." "That's what he said when he invested in CAA, Microsoft, Apple, National Entertainment, Hopewell Real Estate, Henderson Land, and Cheung Kong. Unexpectedly, someone would use the same words against him now, which really made Xu Guanwu feel ridiculous and funny.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think of my proposal?" Liao Renbao asked with a smile.
Xu Guanwu laughed so much that tears almost flowed out, "Your idea is very good, but I have a better idea." ”
"Mr. Xu, you say." Liao Renbao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm also very interested in your Liao's Bank, so it's okay, it just so happens that I still have some spare money, why don't you let me take a stake in your family business?" Don't worry, I won't be involved in the company's operations, I'll only send someone to supervise it. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Liao Renbao couldn't help blushing after hearing this, "Mr. Xu, what are you kidding?" Liao's Bank is our family business and has never been allowed to be interfered with by outsiders. If you don't agree with my shareholding, you will say it clearly, why are you humiliating me like this? ”
"Hmph, you also know that the family business of the Lu Dao family is not allowed to be interfered with by others. Brilliant Cinemas is our Xu family's business, why do I want your Liao family to take a stake? It's a big fallacy. Xu Guanwu sneered, "You don't have to talk to me here, in my opinion, you have no sincerity at all." If you really want to invest in Hong Kong films, I definitely welcome you with both hands. But if you're just looking for a quick buck, I'm sorry for that. Okay, that's all for today, don't send it slowly. ”
Liao Renbao was robbed by Xu Guanwu in front of him, and suddenly got up and walked out of the house in shame and annoyance.
Lei Juekun saw that the two of them were not speculative, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he knew that the two of them were so difficult to speak, so he wouldn't be the one who connected him. Now that the negotiations between the two have broken down, the future will be unfavorable to him, and Lei Juekun can't help but feel sad when he thinks of this.
"Little brother, why do you have to say so much, is there really no room for turnaround?" Lei Juekun looked at Xu Guanwu and asked.
Xu Guanwu smiled, "You have also seen how ridiculous these families are, at the beginning I thought he was polite, and his impression of him was quite good." I didn't expect him to be the same as the sons and daughters of the Lin family, the Wang family, and the Liu family. On the surface, he looks gentle and elegant, but in fact, he is very arrogant in his bones. It seems that investing in us Hsu is such a gift, yes. Bah! (To be continued......)
