Chapter 52: Gratitude (Part 2)
Just when Li was worried, "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" was released, and it became popular all over the beach. Li Wei didn't have any leisure to watch movies. If the bank collects debts and does not pay the money in a few days, it will be the end of a life.
However, once when passing by the cinema, Li Wei found that outside the cinema, there were people queuing up to buy tickets, waiting to watch "The Great Wall Will Never Fall". The queue for tickets stretched out two blocks away. I'm afraid there will be hundreds of people.
Out of the instinct of a businessman, Li Wei roughly calculated the gross income of the movie theater, and this calculation came up with an astonishing figure. Although Li Wei doesn't know much about the film industry, he thinks about it, even if the cost is deducted, Xinhua Company and the rest of his life will make a lot of money!
And Li Wei is short of money, so he has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. After thinking about it, it's better to ask the rest of your life to try. If you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, even if you don't succeed, you won't lose much.
After listening to Li Wei for the rest of his life, he intuitively felt that what Li Wei said was generally true. Then he asked Li Weidao: "Mr. Li, how much does Huayang Yarn Factory owe to the bank now?" ”
"Thirty thousand silver oceans! Including interest and late payment, it is about 35,000 silver oceans. In fact, even if the market is blocked by other cities, Huayang Yarn Factory will not be able to fall. There are so many people in the Shanghai Concession today, but there are not many yarn factories. It's enough to feed Huayang. It's just that the return of funds is slow, so the bank's loan is very bad! ”
Yu Sheng smiled, he didn't want to do too much of your back and forth with Li, so he bid directly: "Mr. Li, I have this money." However, I have two conditions. ”
"Mr. Yu, please speak!"
"The first condition is that I need all the information of Huayang Yarn Mill. It includes the files of workers, the types of machines, the details of financial income and expenditure and profits since the establishment of the factory, as well as the source of raw materials and the sales channels of products, etc. Anyway, I need all the information related to Huayang Yarn Factory! After all, I didn't invest this money for charity. I want to make sure that this field is really making money as you say. ”
"The second condition, on the basis of satisfying the first article, I will invest 50,000 silver in Huayang Yarn Factory, accounting for 40% of the shares. I know that according to the market price, 50,000 Yinyang probably will not be able to buy this 40% of the shares. However, this is life-saving money, and without this 50,000 Yinyang Li boss, he will go bankrupt. So, it's not too much, right? ”
For the rest of his life, he opened this price, and he had already calculated that Li Wei would bargain with him. After all, the price is sky-high, and the money is repaid on the spot. In fact, he had heard of the name of Huayang Yarn Factory before he met Li Wei. It is said that the few pieces of fabric bought for Qing Xiaoyi are produced by Huayang, and the quality is indeed okay. I have also vaguely heard that it is a large factory with more than a dozen machines. Fifty thousand silver oceans, forty percent, is already a big leak!
Unexpectedly, Li Wei listened to the offer for the rest of his life, and without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow. also lost the rest of his life to be fast, and stopped this uncle from knocking down.
Later, after Huayang Yarn Factory was on the right track, the rest of his life did not know that the capitalists in Shanghai were much more black-hearted than him. It's not that Li Wei hasn't looked for other rich people. However, these people are all old rivers and lakes, and what they do is to take advantage of people's danger. Before the rest of his life, the highest price offered was 30,000 Yinyang to buy 90% of the shares!
Because of this, Li Wei is grateful. In the philosophy of their generation, the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, and the grace of saving lives is reciprocated by life! For the rest of his life, he didn't understand the market, and he accepted a middle-aged uncle as a younger brother in a daze.
*******************
When he and Zhang Shankun were amazed by millions of silver oceans for the rest of their lives, they felt that they had made a fortune. There is one thing that pushes "The Great Wall Never Falls" to another peak!
On July 20, 1938, more than 500 Chinese students and classmates from Boston University marched with the citizens to show solidarity with China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and threw Japanese goods into the sea.
Originally, this was not a big deal, and Liu Zhanen did not do this kind of thing back then. At least, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the entertainment industry. At Boston University, however, it already had its own movie screens, and many student groups had record projectors and speakers.
An international student who had just arrived at Boston University from Shanghai sang "Loyal to the Country" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" for the rest of his life at a gathering of Chinese students. These two songs are completely different from the glamorous sounds that prevail in Shanghai. For a time, it caused a sensation. Not only are Chinese willing to listen, but this genre that is decades ahead of the times has also attracted many American students!
In addition to the publicly-funded students who are admitted abroad, many of these international students are second-generation children with rich families and outstanding backgrounds. Although these people are far away in the United States, because the Chinese Exclusion Act has not been canceled at this time. There are still some exclusions in the United States. After listening to these two songs at this time, I felt that my blood was surging! After a little discussion, I pooled money to buy movie copies of "Loyal to the Country" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" from Shanghai! It is shown in the school's small movie hall.
This broadcast is a sensation! Not only Chinese students like to watch it, but even Chinese workers who have been in the United States for many years, and even Americans like to watch it very much! After all, although the culture is different, the rest of his life has a film concept that transcends his time and decades. can better substitute people into the dreams created by movies.
Therefore, Yu Sheng and Zhang Shankun unknowingly became the first people to promote Chinese films to the United States and make a lot of profits. "Loyal to the Country" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" have since spread among Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese in the United States.
Therefore, when the Chinese students at Boston University organized the march, the slogan they chose was not a single sentence, but these two songs with the same name as the movie!
After singing here, "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north!" The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost! The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, twenty years, between vertical and horizontal, who can resist! ”
Over there, he picked it up again - "After a hundred years of sleep, the people of the country have gradually woken up!" Open your eyes! Watch out! Which one would confess to himself? "Because of cowering and forbearance, people are becoming more and more arrogant. Speak up! Shout out! This is a national soldier! ”
While singing, he threw Japanese goods into the sea. The scene was a spectacular mess.
And the Americans are very familiar with such things as marches, and they are not interested in it originally. I just think the singing voice is weird, and I can't help but take a closer look. The more and more people gathered, they couldn't help but alarm the top of Boston University and the upper echelons of the United States, so that when the news came back to Shanghai, it was another sensation!
