Chapter 280: Heart of the Ocean

Some people say: It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, it's a good cat to catch a mouse!

To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is white money or black money, what can create value is good money!

Chen Xiaodao opened his mouth and asked for 20 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out the remake rights of all films of Shaw Brothers Film Company, a subsidiary of Shaw Brothers Group, this condition is too harsh, although Shaw Brothers is very unhappy, but negotiations are still ongoing.

Shaw Brothers films have always been known for their high production and low cost, shoddy production is more civilized, and the market is average, in 87 years, it was forced to stop production, and it is currently half-dragged, and the permanent copyright of 760 better old movies under its name was forced to be auctioned in the early 90s, just waiting to kill a wronged leader.

This piece of pork belly has been targeted by "Tianying Entertainment", a subsidiary of Malaysia's pay TV station ASTRO, for more than 10 years.

Usilis directly found a commercial research company, got the operating data of most of the film companies in Hong Kong in the last ten years, threw it to Chen Xiaodao, and after clarifying the goal, he sat back and waited for Chen Xiaodao's acquisition plan to come out.

There's no rush in this matter, as long as it can be sorted out in a year.

Now, Chen Xiaodao's first step plan is to buy the empty shell of Shaw Brothers Film Company, and then use Shaw Brothers' network resources to rebuild, and first gain a firm foothold.

In Hong Kong, there are many family businesses, a posture of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and there are serious unspoken rules of exclusion in various industries.

For example, the eldest son of Hong Kong's richest man wanted to enter the TV media industry, but he was collectively harassed by the film and television tycoons led by the Shaw Family, and he could not get a free satellite TV license, and finally had to give up.

On the morning of April 14, Ussi's family gathered and began a 10-day long vacation on the island of Fiji.

In those days, the real wealthy families were buying islands in small overseas countries.

The Frederick family was no exception.

Fiji is an archipelagic republic, mainly Indians and indigenous Fijians, accounting for about 95% of the total population, and the official languages are English, Hindi and Fijian. There are also some Europeans, Rotumans, and Chinese living here.

The country is made up of 322 islands with a standard tropical maritime climate with temperatures ranging from 22 to 32 degrees throughout the year. The 180-degree meridian runs through the territory, which is a special area in the extreme east and west of the earth, 2,735 kilometers away from Sydney in the southwest and 1,770 kilometers away from Auckland in New Zealand in the south.

The east of the 180-degree meridian is mostly coral islands with abundant rainfall; To the west, volcanic islands surrounded by corals are very dry; Only one-third of them have a permanent population, and most of the other islands are listed for sale as leaseholders or permanent residents.

The Frederick family leased Fiji's "Heart of the Sea" for 94 years, which ended in 2004.

"Heart of the Ocean", is the second largest island in Fiji, close to the main island of Fiji, covering an area of a little more than two hectares, coral island terrain, surrounded by sandy beaches, like a heart shape and named, the lower end of the heart has a long sandy beach belt extending into the Pacific Ocean, from the air, extremely beautiful.

Of course, this island looks beautiful, but there are too many reefs around the island, it is impossible to build a dock, only small boats can be docked, the access is not very convenient, the commercial value is too low, and you can't sell it if you want to, so you can only rent it out for about $2,000 a year.

Marc Frederick and his family arrive at the Heart of the Ocean in an airship, which immediately provokes the girls to scream with cheer. The terrain of this small island is so beautiful that girls are immune, and they forget everything else.

Usiris was also here for the first time, and the first thought that came to him was to buy it; After listening to Old Mark's explanation, the plan was dismissed.

At the heart of the heart of the ocean is a miniature harbor where a bungalow has been built.

There are hospitals, power plants, convenience stores, banks, post offices, signal towers, etc., all of which are small in scale but well equipped.

On the beach, you can also see sparse tourists playing.

Here, Usilis finally doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by fans, and after walking around, no tourists recognize him, which is very good.

On an April day, the sun is very leisurely and lazy, and there is a lazy feeling when walking on the island, as if there is no such blood boiling power.

Usiris suddenly wanted to exercise, so he wandered around to find out where there was a basketball court, which seemed unrealistic.

Mark Frederick seemed to have been prepared for this, and actually built an indoor basketball training court in advance, with a concrete floor, a standard NBA basketball hoop, and a steel plate frame and a timber theme structure, but the appearance is a bit simple, and it looks like a warehouse.

Usiris didn't care about this, and after an hour of shooting and dribbling, he went with his family to play.

Inside the island, there is a swamp of reeds formed by standing water, which is perfect for fishing.

Everyone took camping equipment and fishing equipment, as well as protective knives and shotguns, and walked three kilometers to reach their destination.

A small raft and fishing tackle, one for each person.

Catherine and Xiaoqian both seemed to see Ussy's attitude, and they didn't quarrel or quarrel, they got together like good friends.

The two younger sisters, Amy and Emma, were very active, chattering, bouncing, holding a camera and filming casually, looking like a curious baby, which amused everyone.

There are many catfish in the reed swamp, and they are also fat.

Catherine caught a big fish weighing more than 50 pounds, and capsized for it, but fortunately Usilis was close and rescued.

Usilis also caught a five-meter-long anaconda,

A roaring bonfire burns, and the girls sing and dance to enjoy the joyful life.

Late at night, Usilis forcibly pulled Catherine and Xiaoqian into his small tent one by one.

Catherine and Xiaoqian were a little embarrassed, and they were not in the mood to do some things they loved, so the three of them hugged each other like this and slept quietly.

The tropical jungle is beautiful during the day, but a bit noisy at night.

Crazy mosquitoes danced and buzzed outside the tent with thick mosquito coils, announcing their arrival, but no one paid attention.

In this way, I camped in the wild for two days, until a thunderstorm hit and I couldn't camp at night, so I had to return.

Old Mark and Blake-Frederick dropped anchor again and went fishing near the reef.

Amy and Emma are arguing about eating a big lobster.

As an elder brother, Usiris had a rare opportunity to spoil his sister, put on diving equipment, took a harpoon, and was busy on the shallow coral reefs, and the harvest was naturally not small.

During this period, everyone did not answer any phone calls and quietly enjoyed this wonderful vacation. (To be continued.) )
