If you open a cinema company on Hong Kong Island, if you don't have a cinema chain in your hand, you will be stuck in the neck.
It's okay to say that it's a little fight, after all, the theater chain itself also has a demand for broadcasting.
But once you want to come out, or even challenge the industry giants, people can use the cinema chain to crush you to death.
This is also the reason why Chu Xiangqian set his sights on the cinema from the beginning.
In the real world, in the first year or two of opening a film company, life was actually very difficult.
If you don't go to the United States in person to invite Xiaolong back, let alone become the three major film companies on Hong Kong Island, it's hard to say whether it can be maintained.
And Chu Xiangqian now invited Guo Zhenhua, who is exactly the same as Uncle Long, and has the same skills, to pat the serpentine trick.
In fact, it is equivalent to breaking the wrinkle Huai and He Yichang, the way out in the future.
Without Xiaolongda's movies that hit the box office and even broke box office records, even if Golden Harvest was established, it would not be able to make a lot of money, let alone make such a big name and momentum.
Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also mastered the Oriental Daily, which depends on the situation, and it will not take a few years, for example, it will become the mouthpiece of public opinion of the head newspaper on Hong Kong Island.
It's really not too easy to hack someone.
Chu Xiangqian looked at the wrinkled Huai and He Yichang with a look of disbelief with a smile, "Gentlemen, Uncle Bai and I are rich and powerful, but we can only be regarded as laymen in the film industry.
The so-called professional things, let professional people do them. And you're the general manager and production director I've chosen. ”
Wrinkled Huai, He Yichang swallowed his saliva after hearing this, listening to Chu Xiangqian's meaning, this is to delegate power?
Not to mention that there are high salaries and shares waiting for you.
The two thought about it for a long time, and then compared the treatment and future in Shaw Brothers, they really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
Then I thought that the son-in-law of Bai Fanyu was Lei Luo. And Chu Xiangqian heard that he had an excellent relationship with Blue Steel and Fat Wave.
Now he has begun to deal with the aristocracy again, and even the Jockey Club has taken the initiative to invite him to join the club, which is equivalent to eating both black and white.
If the two of them refuse, whether they will be cut by others, I don't know.
But Chu Xiangqian said to the outside world to block the two of them, and the Shaw Brothers would immediately give up the two of them.
Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other, and soon saw the determination in each other's eyes.
took the initiative to stretch out his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "Boss, please take care of me." ”
After Chu Xiangqian gave high salary, high benefits, and even equity, he forgot to set limits and the performance that needed to be completed.
As soon as I heard Chu Xiangqian say that if the two of them leave in the future, the company will repurchase shares at the market price.
The two thought about it and knew that this request was normal.
And since he is leaving, everyone will be embarrassed to keep the shares, and maybe even Chu Xiangqian will be worried about it all the time.
It's better to take the money and leave.
As for performance, to be honest, it is the thing that Wrinkle Huai and He Xichang are most worried about.
One is that the two are senior practitioners, one can be a publicity manager, and in the future, he will become a production manager, and finally sit as the deputy general manager of Shaw Brothers.
If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Sixth only trusted his own people, and had to let his woman be the general manager, there was a high probability that Wrinkle Huai would not have left Shaw Brothers.
When He Yichang was at Shaw Brothers, although he did not have wrinkles and protrusions, his ability to be a producer was absolutely sufficient.
And the two are only knowing each other now, at most, and they will definitely not reach the point where they have the same concept and an excellent relationship 10 years later.
Chu Xiangqian asked one of them to be the general manager and the other to be the deputy general manager, and if you think about it, you know that the two are actually already in a competitive relationship from this moment on.
In the future, perhaps the first few movies will be cooperated seamlessly because they are out of the company.
But when the company slowly develops, you see if they will secretly compete with each other, or even fight back and forth.
It's human nature, it's about power, it's about money.
There is no possibility of reconciliation at all.
Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also paid them the same salary and promised the same share options, but one was the general manager and the other was the deputy general manager.
100% will be born in my heart, I am obviously more capable, and my contribution to the company is also greater, why should I have the same interest as another person?
In the future, Xinyicheng will be disbanded because when the company was established, the difference in shares between the three founders was too large.
Huang Baiming has created a number of high-grossing movies in a row, but he only has a 6% stake.
Although the bald guy was also powerful at the beginning, he went to enjoy life in the later stage, and focused on real estate and finance, basically ignoring the company's affairs.
It's too normal for Huang Baiming to be unbalanced in his heart.
There is also the second shareholder Shi Tian, who is good at acting, but he can't compare with Huang Baiming when he makes movies.
But that's it, his shares are much more than Huang Baiming's, so it's normal for Huang Baiming to ask for a share increase.
But other shareholders will blame him, and Huang Baiming can only leave in the end.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian distributes benefits like this, and there will be hidden dangers in the future, after all, people's hearts will never be satisfied.
When the time comes, it is a big deal to support Wrinkle Huai and He Yichang to open a company, and they will become shareholders.
And they demanded that their company's films could only be shown in their own cinemas.
In disguise, it is equivalent to pulling people into the gang, since it reduces competitors and strengthens itself.
As for holding on to the shares, if the time for Chu Xiangqian's rebirth is 00 years, he will definitely have this idea in his mind.
But after 22 years of rebirth, he knew very well in his heart that it was really better for everyone to eat alone and make the plate bigger.
However, Chu Xiangqian, the theater chain, will definitely not give up his shares.
In the future, the movie theater will be demolished and office buildings and shopping malls will be built, which will make more money than the entire film company and theater chain.
To put it bluntly, the cinema company is actually an asset-light or even an empty shell, except for the old movies in the library.
Otherwise, Golden Harvest would not have sold only 250 million yuan in the future and would have been acquired by mainland companies.
What is really valuable is actually the real estate such as cinemas and real estate.
After getting rid of the two generals, Chu Xiangqian set his sights on the rice fish.
The old man is actually a little afraid of meeting Chu Xiangqian these days.
Chu Qianqian rose too fast, let alone him now, even Lei Luo didn't dare to touch him.
Lei Luo was just worried that Chu Xiangqian would enter the police force, but he didn't expect that he really didn't plan to join the police, but when he turned around, he pushed Lan Gang and Fei Bo to the position of the chief inspector of the two major regions of Kowloon.
Lan Gang also sat at the head of the Kowloon Anti-Black Group, plus the other four people who sat in the position of regional detective, actually owed Chu Xiangqian a big favor.
If Lei Luo makes trouble for him without reason, at least half of the 6 regional detectives will oppose it at the first time.
Even Yan Tong, although he was transferred from Tsim Sha Tsui, he also became the inspector of the Kowloon City Region.
Don't talk about holding grudges against Chu Qianqian, it's too late to thank him.
Therefore, Lei Luo's current situation seems to be more powerful because the three regions of Bengang are held by him.
But in fact, Kowloon's side has basically escaped his control.
It is equivalent to Yan Tong, an old enemy, whose strength has risen sharply. There are blue steel and fat waves, and the two of them are catching up.
It can be described as a belly and back enemy.
That's why Lei Luo will listen to Bai Rice Fish's words, and immediately decide to lend money to Blue Steel and Fat Wave.
And Chu Xiangqian has been staying in Kowloon, and his business is basically in Kowloon, and even basically in Yau Tsim Wang, and he has no chance to trouble him.
Therefore, Bai Rice Fish really doesn't plan to move forward with Chu now, and continue to get too close.
At least in the short term, stay away from him, lest his son-in-law and daughter think that he, the old man and father, are outsiders.
But Chu called forward and shouted that he came to the horse farm to watch the horses, and Bai Fanyu couldn't refuse.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be obvious to tell Chu Xiangqian that he had opinions about him, and even held a grudge against him?
If you really do that, isn't that a pure fool?
"Achu, call me, it won't really be to see the new horse you bought, right?"
Chu Xiangqian did not shy away from wrinkling Huai and He Yichang, and said with a smile, "Uncle, my serpentine trickster has finished filming, and the post-production should not be long."
And with the help of Fu Sheng and He Sheng, the two of them must have done better than me in terms of theaters and film releases.
So, the question now is, when will we join forces, 7 for me and 4 for you, a total of 11 cinemas, will open. ”
When Wrinkle Huai and He Yichang heard that Chu Xiangqian actually had 7 movie theaters about to open, they couldn't help but glance at each other again.
Once this cinema line opened, it immediately became the largest cinema chain on Hong Kong Island.
Seeing that Sanjiangshui, who picked up the two of them to the racecourse, was behind them, the two couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Sanjiangshui naturally won't keep them secret now, and when they heard that this theater line was all in a prosperous area, the two secretly said in their hearts, they really made the right bet this time.
Rice fish is not stupid, such a trivial matter as the opening of the theater can be explained with a casual phone call, and there is no need to talk in person.
Pulling Chu forward to the side, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Chu, don't be sloppy with Uncle A, you can say something if you have something." ”
Chu Xiangqian only then told the fire cow and Dakouying what they had found out.
After hearing this, Bai Rice Fish's face changed greatly, and even his angry face darkened.
Now is the most critical time for his son-in-law, if Chu Xiangqian falls out with Lei Luo because of this, it will be really a disaster.
"Don't worry, Uncle will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
Lei Luo has only been in the position of Inspector Zonghua for less than two years, and his authority and authority are indeed not as great as a few years later.
Even wealth is nowhere near one-tenth of its peak.
It's too normal that the rice fish will admit it.
And even during Lei Luo's peak, he didn't have to manage Hong Kong with Blue Gang and Kowloon.
In the end, the two also intertwined. It's not as wordy as in the movies.
Chu Xiangqian grabbed the rice fish who was about to check, "Uncle, this matter is investigated slowly, it's really unnecessary to be angry with yourself." Besides, since I'm here, I don't care about waiting a little longer, let's see how fast my racehorse can run before it's too late. ”
Bai Fanyu knew that Chu Xiangqian was pretending to pick up the horses, so he vaguely told himself that the previous relationship between them had to be changed.
Bai Fanyu couldn't help but sigh secretly, secretly saying that he was really not mistaken.
Achu is much stronger than Aluo back then, whether it is ability, vision or means.
"Okay, let's go after reading it, if you can win a championship tomorrow, Achu, you will be a celebrity on Hong Kong Island from now on. When the time comes, don't recognize Uncle as an old friend? ”
"Don't worry", Chu Xiangqian is willing to deal with people like big and small horses, so naturally he will not alienate the white rice fish.
Besides, in terms of core interests, he actually has no conflict with Lei Luo, and using rice fish can be regarded as easing the relationship.
After all, this time his side took a big advantage, and Lei Luo was the one who suffered.
Easing relations with Lei Luo at this time is the best policy in itself.
After all, in the final analysis, Lei Laohu is the biggest financier of the ghost police.
No one will have trouble with money, that is to say, if you want to move Lei Luo, it seems that there is no chance at all for the time being.
Even if you force your hand, the consequences will be too great, and at the same time, there is no need at all.
After all, Lan Gang and Fat Bo are not their own sons, and it is actually the most beneficial for themselves not to let one side dominate.
It is also the result that the ghosts are most willing to see, so Blair and Ge Bai decided to establish a large region so quickly.
"I'm not in politics, so I don't have so many taboos about who I interact with. Besides, uncle, you already know about donating 100,000 Hong Kong dollars of food.
Now you are the person we see as someone who can cooperate and is worth dealing with. ”
The rice fish grinned when he heard it.
Chu Xiangqian's words were more effective than any guarantee he made.
Pulling Chu forward, he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to get some more food to send over?" ”
Chu Xiangqian naturally had no problem, and said with a smile, "We will pay 100,000 yuan each, you are responsible for buying the grain, and I am responsible for finding someone to transport it away?" ”
"Okay, that's going to be fine."
The rice fish was overjoyed, and buying food was equivalent to no risk for him.
Moreover, 200,000 is only 242.5 tons of the mainland's unit of measurement.
This is not a lot of food, and the population of Hong Kong Island is two or three million, which is not enough for everyone to eat.
Chu Xiangqian thought about it, let Bai Fanyu do this, not only did he want to, but it was impossible to quit.
But if it's okay to talk about it in three or five months, he will have an opinion in his heart in a year or two.
This is the same as being willing to help the mainland, but not wanting to spend your own money for a year or two to help in vain.
"So I will sell you some tigers, blind bears, and other game, as well as fox skins, every month, as you did last time you helped me sell game.
lest you keep making you pay for nothing, and this thing will not last long. ”
Bai Fanyu wants to say that he is willing, but if you think about it carefully, why don't you agree?
Besides, I was thinking that in the future, when the weather in the mainland became normal, I would import grain from the mainland and sell agricultural products on Hong Kong Island.
If you don't agree to this, you won't have anything to do with yourself in the future, and you will just be a bad person.
"Okay, Uncle doesn't make much, just earn enough 100,000 yuan and the guys' hard work."
Chu Xiangqian smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
The white rice fish also greeted him with a smile, "Happy cooperation." ”
When the people around saw the two of them muttering for a long time, and finally shook hands, they knew that there must be a business negotiation.
Chu Xiangqian is not worried about being known, and Hong Kong Island is definitely eager to import more wild meat.
After all, the consumption of 8,000 pigs a day and tens of thousands of chickens and ducks has long made Hong Kong Island want to buy meat from the mainland with cheaper transportation costs.
As for the food, Chu Xiangqian has space, and it is not difficult to transport it away without knowing it.
On the contrary, I am worried that the mainland will not be able to keep this secret.
However, in the second half of next year, the drought will ease, and the grain problem will be basically solved.
At that time, it will not be that the mainland needs to import grain, but that it will try by all means to export more agricultural products to earn foreign exchange.
Their goals can be changed from food to scarce products such as natural rubber.
Then he did the business of importing agricultural products from the mainland with white rice fish.
"Here, the test is about to begin."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he hurriedly put his eyes on the starting line.
I saw that Lindsay had already ridden the guardian rider and entered the starting fence that was temporarily pulled into the track.
The countdown began, and after a few seconds, the fence opened suddenly, and the guardian knight, who had fully warmed up, rushed out of the starting line.
The explosive power is a little unusual at first glance, and sure enough, it is only a dozen meters, and the horse has completely sprinted.
It didn't take long to rush over the straights and into the corners.
Chu Xiangqian only glanced at it a few times, and found that the coordination between the horse racing and Lindsay was not coordinated.
But this is also normal, after all, it is the first time to run wild on the track together, and it is impossible to cooperate tacitly.
And because there are no other horses in the way, the speed will be much faster.
This subtraction, one plus, Chu Xiangqian thinks that the results of running may be the real results of the guardian knight after he goes on the track in the future.
"Fack, this horse's corner speed looks better than the other horses in tomorrow's race."
Chu Xiangqian heard what the few Jockey Club ghosts in front of him said, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
The better the physique and strength, the stronger the physical fitness of the racehorse, and the more silky the corners will run.
After reaching the straight, the horse raced again, and everyone watching was full of blood.
