Text Chapter 402, the idea of unifying Hong Kong cinemas
"Lei Shao, you have shares in these companies!" Hearing Lei Weidong's words, Liang Shuyi and Zhang Aijia were obviously taken aback.
I had to admit it after looking at each other! Lei Weidong's vision is amazing!
No wonder he became the richest man in Hong Kong at such a young age.
Sun Hung Kai, Great Wall Industrial, and New Century are all leaders among Chinese real estate companies! Now Hong Kong real estate is booming, even fools know that the stock prices of these companies will get higher and higher.
It seems that Lei Weidong's worth is by no means as free as the newspaper said, 9 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this large amount of wealth is not known.
But following such a boss will not suffer, Lei Shao eats meat in the front, and it is always okay to drink soup in the back.
"Lei Shao, how many theaters are you going to build, just like I said earlier, there are some local theaters that overlap a little now, and if there are more, there will be a situation of competition between yourself and yourself." Liang Shuyi put aside all the thoughts in her mind, and let's get the things in front of her first.
"I plan to unify the Hong Kong cinema chain, so at least 80-90 multiplex theaters will be built, and there will be more than 600 screens." Lei Weidong felt that it was best to express his ambitions, and if he could get Liang Shuyi's support, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"Dominate Hong Kong cinemas!" Lei Weidong's words made Liang Shuyi and Zhang Aijia blind.
Since the sixties and seventies, many people have been trying to unify the Hong Kong film market, but they have not succeeded.
And the closest to this goal is the Shaw Empire established by Shao Tycoon in the sixties and seventies.
Why Shao Yifu hates Zou Wenhuai so much is because he was stabbed by Zou Wenhuai when the Shaw Empire was about to dominate Hong Kong film and television.
In 1970, due to the influence of the mainland movement, leftist films that once dominated the Hong Kong film scene in the 60s declined.
In addition, Shaw Brothers' old rival "Cathay" finally stopped producing business, and the "Guolian" Pictures established by director Li Da, a Shaw Brothers rebel who went to Taiwan, had a difficult operation, and it was only a matter of a year or two for it to close down.
This means that director Li Da, who took away half of the company's elites in the past and caused heavy losses to Shaw Brothers, is about to go bankrupt.
Seeing that the prospect of Shaw Brothers is well established, and he will soon dominate the Hong Kong film industry, Shao Tycoon is very happy and is ready to open champagne to celebrate!
But when Shao Tycoon was at his most energetic, Shao Tycoon's right-hand man, Zou Wenhuai, who served as the CEO of Shaw Brothers.
Because of his dissatisfaction with the company's stingy salary system, he actually followed in the footsteps of Li Hanxiang, and with the support of Cathay Pacific, he announced his separation from Shaw Brothers and established Jiahe Cinema Line on his own!
This can make Zou Daheng angry enough, so he tried every means to kill Jiahe.
It's a pity that when he was about to succeed, Jiahe dug up the big gold mine of Li Xiaolong, and made tens of millions of dollars through several blockbuster films.
After Li Xiaolong died in an accident and Jiahe lost the big gold mine, Shao Daheng thought that Jiahe was about to end.
But I didn't expect that the number one star of the Shaw Brothers, Xu Guanwen, was not agreed to by Shao Yifu because of his request for account sharing, and in a fit of anger, he took his younger brother to join Jiahe, which also opened the climax of the ghost horse comedy.
made Jiahe really have the ability to call for the Shaw Brothers, and let Shao Tycoon dream of breaking the Xiangjiang.
"Lei Shao, it's not so simple to unify Hong Kong cinemas, you're thinking about it!" Liang Shuyi wanted to persuade Lei Weidong not to be too ambitious, and the gains outweighed the losses, but she didn't know where to start.
"No, Sister Liang, I'll give you an analysis of the specific situation, and you'll know if I'm talking big."
Lei Weidong stood up, took three apples side by side on the table, and said:
"Hong Kong's cinema chain may now be divided into three parts, namely Jia Wo, Shaw Brothers, and some independent theaters, small cinema chains and leftist cinema chains. Among them, Shaw Brothers Cinemas is the easiest to deal with. ”
Lei Weidong picked up an apple and took a bite.
"Shaw Brothers Cinemas is the easiest to deal with!" Hearing this, Liang Shuyi was surprised.
Although Shaw Brothers is starting to decline, Shaw Brothers is still the largest film company in Hong Kong so far, even though it has been losing to Jia Wo at the box office recently, but it has a huge production volume and a dominant position in the Nanyang region.
In terms of making money, Shaw Brothers still surpasses Jiahe.
Looking at Liang Shuyi's expression, Lei Weidong knew that the other party didn't trust his judgment. Looks like I've explained it myself.
Of course, Lei Weidong will not say that he knows about it from the Internet, and Shaw Brothers will be liquidated in a few years.
"Shaw Brothers looks huge, but the internal system is too rigid, and Shaw Brothers Pictures is too harsh on signed artists, so they can't keep people at all, there was nothing before, because the Shaw Brothers family is dominant, and everyone has nowhere to go, so they can only stay in Shaw Brothers to be exploited!
But once we cancel the theater package fee, alone. The film company will definitely grow in a big way, and it will need a lot of filmmakers and actors.
At that time, in addition to those old stubborn directors, who will stay in Shaw Brothers if they have the ability, and those old stubborn directors make movies to make a movie that hits the street, and Shao Yifu, who hits the street in the end, will definitely not be able to stand it.
Coupled with the fact that Shao Daheng has now focused on TVB and cannot use it for two purposes, the liquidation of Shaw Brothers is certain.
"That's right!" Liang Shuyi also belongs to the entertainment industry and is also very familiar with these phenomena.
"However, Lei Shao, even if the Shaw Brothers closes, the possibility of Shao Tycoon selling the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is very low, and the possibility of leasing it is very high, after all, Hong Kong real estate is so good, how good it is for the theater to stay in his hands and appreciate!"
"Don't worry, Sister Liang, I now hold Shao Tycoon's life in my hands, and he must sell the theater to me when the time comes!"
"Hold on to Shao Tycoon's life!"
Lei Weidong's statement surprised Liang Shuyi, you must know that Shao Daheng is the highest-status existence in the entertainment industry, and what fate can be controlled by others.
"It's very simple, I now control more than 40% of the shares of wireless, and Shao Tycoon only has 21% of the shares, I only need to acquire a part of the shares of wireless can control 100% of wireless, and then Shao Tycoon must cooperate with me in order not to lose the throne of chairman of the board of directors!"
Lei Weidong was not hypocritical, and directly explained the reason.
"You have more than 40% of the wireless shares!" Liang Shuyi was a little speechless.
"Lei Shao, you are really not yet 16 years old, you can control so many enterprises, and those enterprises in your hands are unknown to us small citizens!"
"Average, third in the world!" The compliments to Liang Shuyi made Lei Weidong very useful.
"So you don't have to think about Shaw Brothers Cinemas, I'll get it in three or four years at most. Li Theater and Jiahe Cinema are connected.
As for the leftist cinema line, there is no need to consider it at all because of Wanwan. ”
Lei Weidong said and picked up another apple and took a bite.
