277 door-to-door collaborators
Chu Xiangqian hugged his fists at Hong Zhennan and the others again, and then smiled and went to find Lei Luo and the others. As for those rich people, since they don't know each other much, they naturally greet them with rice fish.
"Brother Luo, Brother Gang, Brother Bo, Inspector Yan, there are many slackness, rudeness, there will be backbone, and the little brother will make three cups of atonement in a row."
Lei Luo and the others laughed, "Ah Chu, let you punish you for drinking, it's like drinking water." If you want to be punished, you have to drink three bowls. ”
Chu hurriedly waved his hand forward, "Don't, don't, lest the good wine make me drink it and waste it." ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
With Chu Xiangqian's ability, he said that it was good wine, which was definitely not ordinary.
Chu Xiangqian said that he finally got a few jars from the mainland and had been cellaring tiger bone Yangrong wine for several years.
Lei Luo and the others immediately became interested.
The so-called tiger bone Yangrong wine is just a tiger bone Peiyuan Dan refined by Chu Xiangqian with his master Gong Changqing, plus 100 bottles of bamboo leaf green medicinal wine, plus a whole pair of tiger bones, and brewed together.
In this year's foreign trade, bamboo leaf green itself is a medicinal wine with many kinds of medicinal materials.
In addition, if you soak the tiger bone casually, it is the tiger bone medicinal wine.
As for the Tiger Bone Pei Yuan Dan, Chu Xiangqian had already gotten the prescription from his master.
As long as you put all the medicinal herbs into the pharmacy in the novice village, you can create a game version of the Tiger Bone Pei Yuan Dan.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of the things produced by the game is that all of them have the same medicinal effect, and they are not afraid that there will be problems with the Tiger Bone Pei Yuan Dan that has been refined.
Just by looking at the quality, you can know the good and the bad.
Lei Luo and the others immediately opened their mouths to buy it, Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and directly said that he would give everyone two bottles, as for buying, then forget it.
But the more he is like this, the more the big guy thinks it's a good thing, and he is willing to let him go.
But Chu Xiangqian bit down and said that things were not easy to get, and everyone thought about it, so they just drank it at night, tried to see if it was good, and then privately asked Chu Xiangqian to buy it.
Chu Xiangqian is naturally not really reluctant to sell, let alone unable to get it.
To put it bluntly, I want to sell at a high price.
But this tiger bone Yangrong wine is indeed a good thing, and the traditional Chinese medicine in the tiger bone and bamboo leaf green will not be talked about first.
Just a pair of tiger bones, Chu Xiangqian is now asking for five thousand, one hundred bottles of bamboo leaf green, and it will cost 500 yuan to sell it outside.
10 Tiger Bone Pei Yuan Dan, one asks for a small yellow croaker, and some of them are kept by martial artists with old injuries who are willing to buy it.
10 is 10 small yellow croaker, which is equal to 2080 Hong Kong dollars.
For these alone, Chen Ben cost 7,580 yuan.
So Chu Xiangqian directly rose 10 times. The price of 100 catties is 80,000, or even 100,000 yuan, and he is willing to sell it.
That's 1,000 yuan a catty.
This is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but if you think about it carefully, the average salary on Hong Kong Island at this time is 100.
A pound of tiger bone Yangrong wine is only 10 months' salary, which is almost equal to the future price of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan of red wine.
For Lei Luo, it's really not a problem.
After all, when they entertain themselves, sometimes a bottle of red wine or foreign wine costs one or two thousand.
When I went to a nightclub to play, I heard that this kid Langang had the experience of spending tens of thousands.
It is equivalent to spending a house in one night. This is the same as those who are super rich in the future, spending millions in a night in a bar.
and the guy from the lard boy last time, in order to eat a bite of Jingbai pears, but he spent 10,000 yuan to buy a box of 10 catties of pears.
Thinking about it like this, Chu Xiangqian felt that his offer was cheap.
I immediately decided in my heart, 2,000 pounds, do you like to buy it or not.
Even he thought about setting his sights on the ghosts.
2,000 Hong Kong dollars is equal to 125 pounds, which is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people, but for nobles, when water is not enough, it is still not difficult to drink two or three bottles a month.
Therefore, Chu Xiangqian decided again to sell it to the ghost guy for 150 pounds a bottle.
It's just that in this way, the bottle of wine has to be made distinctive, and it must also make people feel high-end when they look at it.
I immediately decided to find the mainland to do it.
Moreover, the more things you find to make in the mainland, the more you can offset the money you send to the mainland for food and other items.
It's good for everyone.
Even Chu Xiangqian was still thinking that he had planned to sell deer glue to the upper circle of London, and the box containing deer glue was also customized in the mainland?
Just thinking about it, Bai Fanyu suddenly came over with a middle-aged man in his 30s, "Achu, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Lu Guohua from Nanyang Cathay Cinema." ”
Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up when he heard about Cathay Cinemas, it can be said that Hong Kong films in the 70s and 80s were popular throughout Southeast Asia, and Cathay Cinemas has a lot of credit.
In addition, the Shaw Brothers Father and Son Cinema Line is equivalent to two Nanyang Cinema lines, both of which are promoting Hong Kong films.
Of course, the main reason why the two companies will be so active is that Hong Kong films make money.
But it is undeniable that without these two theaters, Hong Kong films would not be so brilliant.
It's just that Chu Xiangqian quickly thought that at this time, in addition to operating theaters and film distribution, the son of the helmsman, like Uncle Shao, ran from Nanyang to Hong Kong Island to start a film company.
And in the first years of the sixties, the competition between the two companies was fierce.
Speaking of which, Uncle Shao Liu's opening of Shaw Brothers Film Company has only been more than 3 years, and as for TVB, there is still no film.
"Lu Sheng is the Lu clan of the Lion City?"
Lu Guohua was stunned, and Bai Fanyu also looked at Chu Xiangqian in surprise.
It took a while for Lu Guohua to come back to his senses and said with a smile, "Chu Sheng is worthy of being a newly rising business tycoon, and this intelligence work is really good." ”
Chu Xiangqian heard the dissatisfaction in this guy's words, and said with a smile, "I think Lu Sheng came uninvited, in addition to looking at the film market on Hong Kong Island, but also because I heard that I am about to open a movie theater line with the Nanyang Fu family in the Lion City and Kuala Lumpur."
Even, Cathay Pacific has not been on Hong Kong Island for a long time, and it has not had time to build a theater on Hong Kong Island, so you are aiming at the theater that Mr. Bai and I just opened, right? ”
As soon as Bai Fanyu heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
Just a "Futon" released in six cinemas, the box office has more than 300,000, and after deducting the money for the theater chain, Hong Kong Island has earned no less than 200,000 yuan.
plus the money from selling to other cities, a movie made him earn four or five hundred thousand.
This money is the same as picking it up, so the movie theater line is in the eyes of the rice fish, and it is the baby who lays the golden egg.
Where are you willing to let outsiders interfere.
Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian also said in advance that in the future, because of the increase in US dollars in the market, the issuance of Hong Kong dollars will also increase, which will make real estate rise.
At this time, Bai Rice Fish has already regarded the theater chain more seriously than its other legitimate businesses.
Lu Guohua was stunned by Chu Xiangqian's words.
The plans of himself and his family were tantamount to being seen through by the young man in front of him at a glance, which made Lu Guohua feel that he had no secrets in front of Chu Xiangqian and was frustrated.
"Chu Sheng is amazing", Lu Guohua sighed, "I always thought that my cousin was powerful enough, but I didn't expect Chu Sheng to be better than him." ”
After speaking, he shook his head, "It seems that Chu Sheng doesn't plan to cooperate with the Lu family, so let's bother." ”
"Wait", Chu Xiangqian really didn't plan to cooperate with Cathay Cinemas, after all, this company's ambitions are not small now.
But in the final analysis, there are tens of millions of Chinese in Nanyang, and only two or three million on Hong Kong Island.
There is no comparison between the potential customer base between the two.
Therefore, the box office of Hong Kong Island may not even be half of that compared with Nanyang.
And the Nanyang Fu family is too grinding, and the theaters on his side have opened, and there is no news from his side.
Even the rice fish sent them invitations, not only did none of the Fu family's father and son come over, but there was not even a person who gave gifts and congratulations.
The second point is that no matter how they reject the Nanyang Lu family, they not only entered the Hong Kong Island film market two or three years earlier, but will not give up this market in the future.
In this case, it is better to pull them together and fight against the Shaw Brothers together.
After all, the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, but it can also cooperate.
Moreover, if the Lu family's movies are released in their own theaters, then there is no need for them to build a movie theater on Hong Kong Island.
It can also be regarded as reducing competitors.
Of course, if the Lu family wants to take a stake in the 'Chu Cinema Line', then they will definitely not agree.
Lu Guohua, who had turned around and left, turned around in surprise, and heard Chu Xiangqian say, "Lu Sheng, Bai Sheng's movie and I want to be sent to Nanyang for distribution, I don't know if Cathay Cinema wants to cooperate?" ”
Lu Guohua almost cursed, Chu Xiangqian just refused Lu's cooperation, and didn't even let himself say anything.
But when he turned his head, this guy was eyeing his own theatrical distribution rights in Nanyang.
Bai Fanyu also looked at Chu Xiangqian in surprise, and secretly said that this kid is really a natural businessman, and this thick-skinned person is so thick that he is ashamed of himself as an old-timer.
Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Lu Sheng, we are likely to be competitors in the film industry on Hong Kong Island, but if the movies made by your company are released in the 'Chu Cinema Line'."
I'm in charge, and I'll give you a 95% discount on the charter fee.
And in Nanyang, we will most likely be partners. ”
After speaking, Chu Xiangqian pointed to the equipment of this movie theater and said, "Indoor air conditioning, armrest seats, these are actually all learning from your Lu family."
I believe that from the perspective of Lu Sheng, it will not fail to see that the competitiveness of this cinema chain is not comparable to those on Hong Kong Island and the theaters built ten years ago. ”
Lu Guohua was impressed by Chu Xiangqian again, and agreed with Chu Xiangqian's words in his heart, and at the same time felt nervous that he knew Guotai Cinema so well.
This guy is 100%, from the beginning of his intention to enter the theater line, he has been constantly learning about Cathay Cinema.
Lu Guohua was silent for a moment, and secretly cooperated with people like Chu Xiangqian, and the benefits should far outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, Bai Fanyu himself is a big man, and his son-in-law is Inspector Zonghua, if this kind of local snake is eyeing Lu's movie, or even simply dealing with himself with Shaw Brothers, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Lu Guohua had to nod and say, "It's okay to cooperate, but you have to give up the idea of developing a cinema in Nanyang." ”
Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "Lu Sheng, to put it mildly, Nanyang is so big, and your Lu family is also a big company in Xinjiapo, Kuala Lumpur and other places.
And there are so many rich and powerful people in Nanyang, you can stop me from opening a cinema in Nanyang, but you can't stop them from making movies and theaters.
On the contrary, it is a good thing for you Cathay Pacific that people like me, who have no roots in Nanyang, to join this game.
After all, I only want the box office, not local influence.
Moreover, you can't actually stop me from cooperating with the Fu family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the door. ”
Lu Guohua couldn't help but be silent by Chu Xiangqian's words, while Bai Fanyu looked at Chu Xiangqian with bright eyes.
Nima's own territory does not allow people to come in, but he goes to other people's territory to steal business in the name of helping them.
Rice fish has lived for nearly 60 years, and it is the first time that I have seen that negotiations can be discussed like this.
Lu Guohua thought for a long time, and finally could only sigh, "It's okay to distribute, after all, good movies are lacking anywhere."
But Chu Sheng wanted to open a movie theater in Nanyang, so he had to cooperate with my Lu family. ”
Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, although the Fu family grinds and chirps, but if he kicks the Fu family away directly, his reputation will be ugly.
The benefits of the tripartite cooperation far outweigh the disadvantages for pure investors who have no intention of doing business in Nanyang.
And I thought about it before, there is no need to occupy half of the shares of the Nanyang Cinema Line.
As long as you ensure that your film company and the movies you shoot can be successfully released in Nanyang and get a box office share, you have already achieved your original goal.
The most important thing is that at the peak of the Cathay cinema line, there were 80 cinemas opened in Nanyang.
It can be said that in every big city, there is a Cathay cinema.
The Lu family's influence and network in Nanyang in the future can be seen.
If you don't win them over now, you will definitely be a big enemy in the future.
In the future, Golden Harvest can share the world equally with Shaw Brothers, in addition to Hong Kong movies, but also because Cathay Pacific specialized in distributing Golden Harvest movies at that time to fight with Shaw Brothers and Sons Cinemas.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "I think the biggest competitor of Cathay Cinemas in Nanyang is not only the cinemas opened by some wealthy local businessmen, but also the Shaw Brothers Father and Son Cinemas, right?" ”
Lu Guohua was completely convinced at this time, and nodded helplessly, "What Chu Sheng wants to say, please say it directly." ”
Chu Xiangqian was not verbose, "One I promised the Fu family, but now I regret it, not only lost my integrity, but also made enemies for no reason."
Second, the 8 movie theaters that I cooperated with the Fu family could completely allocate 25% of my 50% shares to Cathay Cinemas.
Moreover, I persuaded the Fu family to give you about 15% of the shares.
At that time, you, who own 4% of the shares, are not only the largest shareholders of these 8 films, but also the management rights can also be negotiated with the Fu family.
This is equivalent to the strategic introduction of two shareholders by Cathay Cinemas, and you will take the initiative.
It has gained allies, but also reduced investment to open more movie theaters, expanding the scale and influence of the theater chain.
This kind of good thing, the Lu family has no reason to refuse. ”
Lu Guohua was silent again, and if he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.
"I have to discuss with my cousin or aunt before I can reply to Lu Sheng."
As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that this guy was actually moved.
To put it mildly, Lu Guohua expressed his status and interests in the family, and it was wise to strongly agree with this cooperation.
Moreover, the Lu family's film company has only been developing on Hong Kong Island for two or three years, and its own interests on Hong Kong Island are not much.
On the contrary, it is the intrinsic interests of the South Seas that the first priority is to stabilize them.
Chu Xiangqian glanced at Bai Fanyu, the old man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rolled and said, "Ah Chu, otherwise, in the future, we will release Cathay Pacific's 5 movies, and Cathay Pacific will also release our 5 movies in Nanyang?" ”
Chu Xiangqian almost wanted to give a thumbs up to the rice fish.
Once Cathay agrees, it means that they will not build a cinema on Hong Kong Island in a short period of time.
Moreover, Nanyang movies have never been suitable for the taste of Hong Kong Island audiences, but Hong Kong Island movies are very marketable in Nanyang.
In other words, Cathay Pacific will only make more and more films on Hong Kong Island in the future.
Then the more he needs the support of Hong Kong's cinema chains.
And the trouble is, no one can guarantee that every movie will make money.
If you shoot more, you are likely to lose more.
Then Chu Xiangqian's film distribution rights are even more needed to send the film to Nanyang for broadcasting.
After all, the daily maintenance of the cinema, the cost of labor and electricity is not small.
If a good movie is released, customers will be lost, and you will have to lose money.
In this way, it is equivalent to a certain degree on his side, which in turn has taken control of Cathay Cinemas.
And Lu Guohua has no God perspective, I heard that in the past two or three years, there have been many movies that have made money, but there are also movies that lose money.
One profit and one loss, the money they make in the end is actually not much, otherwise with their financial resources, they will not have made up their minds to build a movie theater on Hong Kong Island in two or three years.
Chu Xiangqian even thought that this Mr. Lu Guohua Lu was the core disciple of the Lu family who was assigned to Hong Kong Island.
If this is the case, then the cooperation with the Lu family will be 100% successful.
Moreover, the cooperation of the theater chain on the Nanyang side is most likely Lu Guohua who started and then was robbed of the credit by the young owner.
In the end, he didn't have anything to do.
Therefore, Bai Fanyu said that letting Lu's movies be released in his own theaters is tantamount to helping his film company on Hong Kong Island get a stable release channel.
And what he paid was nothing more than the interests of Nanyang Cinema Line, which had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, after Lu Guohua listened, his demeanor was completely different.
