Xu Guanwu accompanied Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi to the airport to send Deng Lijun to the United States.

After sending Deng Lijun on the plane, Lin Qingxia wiped away her tears, "Alas, I finally looked forward to a Taiwanese fellow, but I didn't expect to send her away so soon." ”

"Don't be sad, there are a lot of Taiwanese artists who are developing in Hong Kong now, if you like it, I'll have a party another day and invite them to come to your house to accompany you." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"I still don't want it, I don't know it well, how can I talk." Lin Qingxia waved her hand. She debuted very early in Taiwan, and she quickly became famous, and she rarely had any dealings with these Taiwanese rising stars who are now developing in Hong Kong, so naturally she couldn't talk about any feelings, and bringing them to chat was just adding to the trouble.

"Okay, don't be sad for now. Ah Long, Sanmao, and Yuan Biao's planes are about to arrive. The colleagues of the Hong Kong Film Club are still waiting for us. Zhao Yazhi urged.

Today, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao returned with honors, because this time "Full of Gold and Jade" sold a good fortune, which greatly boosted the morale of Xiangjiang filmmakers. Therefore, President Ye Zhiming and the presidents of the subordinate branches proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to be lively and lively to show the strength of Hong Kong filmmakers.

The proposal was quickly passed by a majority of votes, and was set for their return to China to be celebrated with a dragon and lion parade from Kai Tak Airport to Causeway Bay.

Seeing that their peers were so appreciative, Xu's Group also donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars to fund the event, so that everyone could take the opportunity to have fun. Later, I calculated the cost of going out to march. There is still 300,000 Hong Kong dollars left. simply ordered 20 tables of flowing water at a wealthy restaurant in Hong Kong. Celebration banquet, big banquet, hello, hello, everyone.

Xiangjiang Film Club doesn't have to pay a penny, but it has earned both face and lining. Hui's Group is also infinitely beautiful, and its popularity in Hong Kong has skyrocketed again. The parade was a win-win, the only thing that didn't hurt was the other studios, but it was useless to be jealous.

A box office of $40 million, a profit of more than $20 million, is not something that can be earned by that company. Golden Harvest Company has been cooperating with the new line for almost a year. Up to now, all the movies added up to the present are not as profitable as the movie "Full of Gold and Jade", which is the gap between Hongguoguo.

"Then let's go, people will give us face and invite our peers to celebrate us, and we, as the host, naturally can't be late." Xu Guanwu smiled, left the airport in a car, and drove to the place where the parade was held.

Shortly after getting into the car, the mobile phone in the car suddenly rang.

Xu Guanwu was surprised for a while, there were not too many people who knew the mobile phone number in his car, especially after he took a back seat. It's even more rare that someone will call him. I didn't expect it to be deposited for such a long time, but it suddenly sounded.

Xu Guanwu took the phone suspiciously. I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard it, it turned out that the phone number was Darryl. Zaniuk called.

"Stanley, something is wrong." Darryl said anxiously.

"Something's wrong, don't worry, you speak slowly." Xu Guanwu said suspiciously.

"Our stock agents have found that our shares have been trading unusually frequently in the last two months." Darryl said.

"Does anyone buy our shares? That's a good thing! Xu Guanwu was shocked, but he joked with a smile.

"It's not a good thing, they're seeing that somebody is buying up a lot of our shares, and they've bought more than two percent of them so far." Darryl. Seeing that Xu Guanwu didn't understand the joints, Zaniuk hurriedly said loudly to him.

Xu Guanwu looked overjoyed, and his heart was secretly refreshed, "More than two have been acquired?!" Gosh, isn't that more than my stock, who is that guy and why is he doing it? ”

"At the moment, his identity is not clear, only that the shares were acquired by an offshore company." "Stanley, we have to act quickly, or the company will soon become someone else's." ”

"Okay, so what are you going to do, how do you want me to cooperate with you?" Xu Guanwu asked.

"First of all, you don't want to sell the 20% of the shares," Darryl said, "and secondly, I want to issue new shares, but the shareholders are very opposed, so I want you to be on my side." ”

"Don't worry, I have confidence in 20th Century Fox, and I won't sell those 20% of the shares to others." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "But are you sure that the issuance of new shares is useful, if the new shares issued are also fully accepted by that company, then what should you do?" ”

"If he can receive all the additional new shares at the price, then his amount of cash is really extraordinary, and I am afraid that we will not be able to cope with it. Perhaps having such a rich man invest in Fox may still be a good thing for Fox. Darryl thought for a moment and said, "He invested so much money to buy Fox stock, he probably wanted to run it well, not to destroy it." ”

"That makes sense, but who's guessing is the one who is most likely to initiate this acquisition? Can we meet with him to discuss, maybe he can stop the acquisition and then join the company and become a shareholder with peace of mind. Xu Guanwu said, "Because so far, I haven't seen any head who can do so well as you?" ”

"Stanley, your mouth is so sweet." "We suspect it may be media mogul Murdoch, who is now optimistic about the future of Hollywood films and plans to buy film companies and enter the film industry." Fox is currently the most popular company among many Hollywood film companies, and its performance has been very good in recent years. So it makes sense that he wanted to buy us. ”

"It turned out to be him......" Xu Guanwu was stunned, but he knew that in his previous life, it was indeed Murdoch who bought the 20th Century Fox Company, and also poached Paramount's Barry. It took only one year for Diller to build the Fox television network, which has 188 television stations, making it the fourth largest public television network in the United States. At its peak, it was worth $60 billion, and when Murdoch bought 20th Century Fox, it only cost $250 million.

"Stanley. You have to get to the U.S. side as soon as possible. You must be present at the shareholders' meeting for the issuance of new shares. Firmly express your support for me. "Those shareholders who only think about their own interests, only think about making money, only think about selling their shares at a high price, they will definitely strongly oppose the issuance of new shares." Stanley, you're going to have to help me. ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Don't worry, I'll rush over as soon as possible." You don't have to worry. Let's work out a plan for issuing new shares with the agent, and wait for me to study it in the past. ”

After receiving Xu Guanwu's affirmative answer, Daryl couldn't help but feel a stone in his heart fall to the ground, and hung up the phone with peace of mind. The reason why he did not suspect that Xu Guanwu was the person behind the acquisition of 20th Century Fox was mainly because Xu Guanwu had behaved too well over the years, had always been kind to others, was his staunch supporter, and his closest ally. He almost forgot that no matter how friendly the tiger is, it always wants to eat meat.

Of course, he didn't think that he would be cheated by his son, wouldn't it be good to make a good movie to make money. I have to fix so many moths, and now I have to lose the throne of the chairman of the listed company. It's really a super cheat.

……

After Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Daryl in his heart. Darryl joined Fox a long time ago, and then rose to the head of Fox, and has been running the company carefully, putting all his efforts into the company, and simply treating it as a treasure.

Richard. Even though Zaniuk was his son, when he made a mistake and brought irreparable losses to the company, he still resolutely waved the butcher knife and drove his son out of the company. Because in his mind, the importance of the company has far exceeded that of his son.

He didn't expect that he would lose control of the company because of his son. The stock in Darryl's hand is only 20% at most, and if Xu Guanwu has not supported him, he doesn't know how many times he has been impeached. But this time, even Xu Guanwu began to turn back, Darryl. Zaniuk estimates that he will not be able to hold out for a long time.

"Ah Wu, whose phone is it?" Zhao Yazhi saw that Xu Guanwu was smiling very mysteriously, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's Darryl's call, and he's asking me for help." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Oh?! What's wrong with him, what's wrong? Lin Qingxia asked, she had met Darryl a few times, and in her impression, it was a very strong person, but she was still very friendly to them.

"There's a big deal going on to buy liquid shares in Fox, and they've already bought more than two." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "He wants to issue new shares to delay the speed of the acquisition, but he is opposed by the shareholders, so he wants me to go to the United States as soon as possible and express my support for him at the shareholders' meeting." ”

"Then this is really a big deal, when do you plan to go to the United States?" Zhao Yazhi said in surprise. Although she doesn't know much about these business practices, she also knows that the takeover of a listed company is a big deal, especially for those shareholders. If everyone has communicated well before the acquisition, it will naturally be a win-win outcome for hello, me, and everyone. If it's forcibly acquired, it really feels like being by a strong woman.

"Don't rush, take your time." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Why, aren't you afraid of the 20th Century Fox being acquired?" Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Of course I'm not afraid, because I did this acquisition." ”

"You?! Why, husband? Aren't you friends with Darryl and Richard? Zhao Yazhi said more and more confused.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "How can there be eternal friends in this world?" Darryl is a good guy and has always worked well with us. But Richard's tail has been a little high over the years, not to mention the embezzlement and misappropriation of funds for filming, the most hateful suppression of the people I sent is obviously not giving me face. If such a person uses it for another two years, I'm afraid that even I won't be taken seriously. So I'm going to teach him a lesson. ”

"Then he's not good, it's good if you teach him a lesson, why did you even clean up with Darryl? I think the old gentleman is still good. Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

"Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. How do I know if Lao Tzu will jump out after teaching my son a lesson? We've worked so much with 20th Century Fox, wouldn't we lose a lot if he got in the way? So it has to be a two-pronged approach. Xu Guanwu explained.

"Oh, that sounds cruel." Lin Qingxia shuddered and said, "It seems that I'm really not suitable for business, I can't do something like this." ”

"I also have no choice, if it wasn't for Richard going too far, I don't want to hurt him." Xu Guanwu sighed and said.

"Then you let him shoot "The Lord of the Rings", and said that you would invest a lot of money in him, but in fact, you are also doing a trick to harm him?" Zhao Yazhi suddenly exclaimed.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "That's right, the drama "The Lord of the Rings" is originally a conspiracy, if they film well, I may consider letting them go, but if they are really not greedy enough, don't blame me for being polite when the time comes." (To be continued......)
