Chapter 317 Lonely Jiahe (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
Xiangjiang is a strange city.
Because of his particularity, there are actually many TWs in this city, and JD can be said to be the intelligence center of Southeast Asia.
Even the later Hualian. Forget it, I can’t say that.
Chu Huan didn't know if his phone was tapped, but when facing an existence of HSBC's level, it was definitely not a big mistake to be careful.
So Chu Huan called Ma Jizu to his residence.
Brother Huan, is there something wrong?
After Ma Jizu came to the villa in Repulse Bay, he went directly to Chu Huan's study and asked.
Obviously, Ma Jizu's phone call to Chu Huan just now, plus the fact that he called himself directly at home now, shows that there must be some things that cannot be said to the outside world.
Chu Huan said with a smile: Find a few trustworthy people, preferably from their hometown, and investigate the senior management of HSBC. You don't need to have a deep understanding, you just need to know their background and some personal preferences!
Chu Huan was still a little jealous of HSBC, and just asked Ma Jizu to investigate the peripheral affairs. Chu Huan didn't intend to get involved in the inside story, but this was enough for Chu Huan.
If Chu Huan’s order was given to someone else, that person would probably be very surprised, but Ma Jizu would not. He didn’t grow up listening to the legend of HSBC, he just knew that HSBC is very powerful, but for HSBC’s power, it is There is no concept.
Even now that he has become the head of the investigation department of Jiaku Consulting Company, he also knows something about HSBC, but so what?
Can Brother Huan be as good as Huan?
Ma Jizu doesn't think so!
Understood, Brother Huan, when do you want news?
Chu Huan said: The sooner the better!
Ma Jizu didn't hesitate, and said directly: Then I will arrange people now!
Of course, Chu Huan didn't want to keep him anymore. He really needed to know about this matter soon.
Hang Lung Properties has increased the price!
In the office of the chairman of China Real Estate, sat Feng Tifen who just came over from Feng Tifen Group, and Li Fushu, the general manager of China Real Estate!
According to the rules of the two, when one is the chairman, the other is the general manager of the company.
But it was Li Fushu who said the price increase of Hang Lung Real Estate, not Feng Tianfen.
Compared with Li Fuzhao, the younger brother who is the chairman of the Far East Association, Li Fushu is much less famous.
But as the third son of Li Guanchun, what Li Fushu does is not easy. In a few years, he will succeed Jian Yueqiang as the chairman of the Bank of East Asia. In fact, at this time, he has already arranged for his son to work in the Bank of East Asia. He will succeed Li Fushu and turn the Bank of East Asia, a bank founded by Feng, Jian, and Li, into their Li family's family business.
In Xiangjiang in the future, when mentioning the Li family, the first thing people think of is the Li Jiacheng family.
But in this era, when it comes to the Li family, it must be the Li Guanchun family.
In fact, Li Guanchun is the second generation of the Li family, and his father Li Shipeng has already brought the Li family into a rich family. However, it is Li Guanchun, the second generation of the Li family, who really made the Li family famous in Xiangjiang, so when Xiangjiang talks about the Li family, it is more I would like to say it is Li Guanchun's family.
There are many reports in later generations that Li Guanchun has only three sons, but that is actually false.
The real situation is that Li Guanchun has a total of 12 children, and the most famous Li Fuzhao is the youngest!
Li Fushu, who is now in charge of Chinese real estate, is the third son, and the other son, Li Fushan, is the first Chinese judge in Hong Kong, not a judge!
One son, Li Fuhe, is the first Chinese vice president of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and the other son, Li Fuyu, is the director of the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department.
In later generations, there are still people who say that TVB artist Li Guolin is the fourth generation of the Li family, but that is actually a false rumor. TVB artist Li Guolin and the fourth generation of the Li family Li Guolin just have the same name and surname, and they are not the same person at all.
Although Li Fushu let his son go to the Bank of East Asia, but he himself stayed at Huaren Real Estate.
As for Feng Tianfen, although he is the chairman of the board of directors of Huaren Land, he has put more thoughts on his own Feng Tifen Group, which has also led to Huaren Land's reputation in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. It has not fluctuated for nearly ten years!
It's just that Li Fushu defeated the Feng family and the Jian family in East Asian silver merchants, but lost to Feng Tifen in the field of Chinese real estate.
In the mid-1980s, he would be the first to be kicked out of Chinese real estate by the Feng family.
But this Li Fushu is also a ruthless person. Since you won’t let me have a good time, then you don’t have to have a good time. With the mentality of dying and breaking the net, when Liu Luanxiong found Li Fushu, Li Fushu directly sold all the shares of their Li family in Huaren Real Estate at a “reasonable” price. The price was sold to Liu Luanxiong.
This also allowed Liu Luanxiong to complete the business plan of snake swallowing an elephant and get the Chinese real estate!
However, at this time, there were only some minor conflicts between the two sides, and it did not reach the time when it was in the 1980s.
Feng Tianfen asked aloud, How much did you add?
Li Fushu said: 5 million!
Feng Tianfen pondered for a while, and couldn't help but said: It seems that this Chu Huan really wants to travel to China. He knows that Lijiacheng is backed by HSBC, and he wants to buy it at a higher price?
Li Fushu said indifferently: Whether he has HSBC's support or not, what we should care about now is whether to sell it to Chu Huan or not?
As one of the oldest wealthy families in Xiangjiang, Li Fushu has his own pride. Although HSBC is powerful, it is a normal business transaction, and the highest price gets it!
Before, Hang Lung's bid was the same as Li Jiacheng's bid, and they could sell Huarenhang to Li Jiacheng for the sake of HSBC, but now that Chu Huan has increased the price, the situation is different!
No matter how overbearing HSBC is, it can't delay our earning money, right?
In fact, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Li Fushu has already set his sights on the Bank of East Asia at this time. The finances of Fantasy Comics were handed over to the Bank of East Asia.
Therefore, Li Fushu hopes that when he takes over the Bank of East Asia, he can still become a close business partner with Chu Huan!
Feng Tianfen had a different opinion, and said: If it's just an increase of 5 million, I'm more inclined to sell it to Li Jiacheng. After all, Li Jiacheng is behind HSBC, and it's not worth the loss for us to offend HSBC just for 5 million. !
Li Fushu had his own ideas, and Feng Tianfen naturally had his own too. Although the Feng family was a shareholder of the Bank of East Asia, they didn't have to worry about the loan, but the resources that HSBC had were what his Feng Tifen Group needed.
Li Fushu scoffed at Feng Tianfen's statement, and said: It's easy to say, does your company have a profit of five million this month? What is the company's stock price now? Let alone the stock price, it is the rent this year. It’s all reduced by 50%, with this five million, we can do a lot of things!”
Feng Tianfen smiled, and didn't take Li Fushu's attitude to heart, and said with a smile: Five million can indeed do a lot of things, but I talked to Li Jiacheng before, and he is also very concerned about the Chinese business, Since he cared about it, and HSBC backed him up, I think if he knew about Chu Huan's price increase, he would probably increase the price too.
We didn't have a choice before, but now that there are more Chu Huan's bids with Li Jiacheng, why don't we wait, watching the two of them fight each other, we can reap the benefits, right?
Feng Tianfen knew that if he said that he also needed HSBC's resources, Li Fushu would definitely not care, but it would be better to use Li Jiacheng to speak out.
Sure enough, upon hearing what Feng Tianfen said, Li Fushu immediately showed a smile and said: This is a good idea. Since both of them want it, then let the two with the highest price get it. HSBC must not be short of money. Yes, at first I thought that Chu Huan, who didn't do anything this year, should be recuperating, but I didn't expect that it was about to pay the final payment of the Golden Gate Building, and Chu Huan wanted to buy our Chinese business again.
If this is the case, then he shouldn't be short of money, right?
Feng Tiffen pointedly said: Chu Huan is not short of money, after you take the position of president of the Bank of East Asia, don't you know?
The Feng family was the first to withdraw from the Bank of East Asia, but that doesn't mean he didn't know about the Bank of East Asia.
Naturally, he also understood what Li Fushu meant by putting his son in the Bank of East Asia!
Li Fushu chuckled, and said indifferently: Chu Huan is the best partner of Bank of East Asia. Although your Feng family has withdrawn from the management of Bank of East Asia, you have not sold the shares of Bank of East Asia. Enough!
That's right, but no matter how good the Bank of East Asia is, it is not as good as a group that it completely controls.
But Feng Tianfen didn't tell Li Fushu this, but just said with a smile: Since we have already made a decision, let's see how the two of them compete!
Hearing what Feng Tianfen said, Li Fushu didn't have any objection, but said: Then I will go and tell Li Jiacheng the news now.
The news of Hang Lung Real Estate's price increase naturally reached Li Jiacheng's ears very quickly.
After getting the news, Li Jiacheng told Li Fushu that Changshi was also willing to increase the price without any hesitation, without even bringing out HSBC.
And higher than Chu Huan's, 136 million Hong Kong dollars!
One million Hong Kong dollars more!
Li Fushu smiled. Although he was not as generous as Chu Huan, one million is still money!
Li Sheng, I will inform Hang Lung Properties about your offer!
Li Jiacheng said helplessly: Brother Li, you Huaren Real Estate want to see us and Chu Huan bidding against each other!
Li Fushu said indifferently: Li Sheng, we don't want to. We can't offend HSBC. We don't want to offend Chu Huan, a rising star. You know his relationship with the Bank of East Asia!
Li Jiacheng just sighed, hung up the phone without saying anything.
What Li Fushu said just now hurt Li Jiacheng a little. Li Fushu only mentioned HSBC and Chu Huan, but did not mention himself. Obviously, this was because he was not qualified.
But so what?
The current Changshi is indeed a thousand miles away from Chu Huan!
Sooner or later, I will climb to the top of Xiangjiang!
Li Jiacheng encouraged himself.
Regarding this matter, he did not tell Shen Bi that Li Jiacheng also had his own pride. If he asked Shen Bi for help even with such a price increase, it would not do any good except to make Shen Bi look down on him.
So Huaren Real Estate sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, Changshi and Hang Lung told each other their quotations to each other, just wanting to watch them fight a price war, and then reap the benefits for themselves.
The competition between Hang Lung Properties and Cheung Kong over the Chinese business is still going on, and on the other hand, the competition between Black and White Video and Golden Harvest has also begun!
October 12th!
The black-and-white film Ghost Horse Double Star and Golden Harvest's Double Dragon Going to Sea held a midnight show at the same time.
The entire Xiangjiang film industry is paying attention to this matter, because many people understand that the competition between black and white film and Golden Harvest this time is no longer just a box office competition between two films.
This is also related to whether Golden Harvest can prolong its battle of luck in Xiangjiang.
I don't know!
Fang Yihua sat beside Shao Yifu, with an incomprehensible expression on his face. For today's midnight show, Fang Yihua didn't go back to his residence, but stayed in Shao Yifu's villa.
Although Shao Yifu was over 60 years old at this time, he was still in good spirits. Even though it was approaching midnight, Shao Yifu still looked energetic.
Obviously, at this time, Shao Yifu was also paying attention to this matter.
At this time, when I heard my confidante ask this question, I smiled and asked, What don't you understand?
Fang Yihua said: Since Golden Harvest regards this film as important, why do they have to compete with the black and white video? Back then, it was enough to just change the schedule?
Shao Yifu knew Zou Wenhuai very well, and he was in a very good mood at this time, so he was willing to talk more with Fang Yihua, so she preached.
It's actually very simple. The movie Double Dragon Going to Sea was set by Golden Harvest first. If the black and white video has set the same schedule as theirs, and Golden Harvest has to modify the schedule for this, then Golden Harvest's reputation in Xiangjiang will be regarded as a big one. It's completely over, even their only remaining distribution channels will be taken away by Chu Huan's black and white images. As for all the films of the Republic of China period in Xiangjiang, besides our Shaw Brothers films, there are also films in Golden Harvest's Cathay Pacific film studio. Shooting?
Black-and-white images now suppress Golden Harvest in all directions. The distribution fee outside the city is less than that of Golden Harvest. Although the rental price of the studio is the same, the set of the Tseung Kwan O studio of black-and-white images is more majestic. Chu Huan's black and white image cooperation, not Jiahe.
In addition, the combination of Longgang, Xie Xian and Deng Guangrong is still very capable. Although Xu Guanwen's reputation is not small, he can at most draw with Xie Xian. Even if he adds his brother Xu Guanjie, he is only one. Only Deng Guangrong, on paper alone, the movie Double Dragon Goes to Sea has more box office appeal than Ghost Horse Twin Stars.
Therefore, Golden Harvest has to win, and if it wins, it is possible to win, but if it does not win, it is a direct surrender, and Golden Harvest's market in Xiangjiang is completely over!
When he said this, Shao Yifu had a smug smile on his face.
There is nothing that makes Shao Yifu happier than watching his deadly enemy collapse with his own eyes.
Fang Yihua said worriedly: If Golden Harvest collapses, then the biggest beneficiary will definitely be Chu Huan, and he will be able to take over everything in Golden Harvest. At that time, there will only be our two families left in Xiangjiang.
In Xiangjiang’s film industry, only Chu Huan’s black-and-white images and Shao Yifu’s Shaw Brothers are the only ones with this size to eat up Jiahe. I believe that even if Jiahe is defeated by Chu Huan, Zou Wenhuai will definitely be more willing to sell Jiahe to Chu Huan, not Shao Yifu!
With a smug smile, Shao Yifu's smile faded a bit at this time, and then he sighed and said: There is no way to do this, in fact, this matter has already been doomed, even if there is no such thing as this time This matter, Golden Harvest's decline is already doomed, and it will still be Chu Huan who will take over.
In Shao Yifu's view, Jiahe's failure was already doomed when he and Chu Huan decided to join forces.
Fang Yihua couldn't help but said: Then we should have made some plans earlier. What if Chu Huan has integrated Jiahe's resources and freed up his hands to deal with our Shaw Brothers?
In Xiangjiang at this time, no one dared to underestimate the existence of Chu Huan, even in the film industry!
In Shao Yifu's cloudy eyes, a flash of light suddenly flashed, and then he said: If he wants to fight, then he should live a few tricks, I'm not old yet, I don't think anyone knows the film industry better than me!
Hu Laowei is still there, not to mention that Shao Yifu only looks older, but in fact Shao Yifu is very energetic at this time.
A powerful opponent will not only not make Shao Yifu feel worried, but it will easily arouse Shao Yifu's desire for supremacy.
No matter how many things Shao Yifu went through back then, he was not defeated, let alone the current situation!
Seeing this, Fang Yihua had no choice but to say: Then let's see who will win this battle first!
If he wins, Golden Harvest will get a chance to continue his life, but if he loses, Golden Harvest's business in Xiangjiang will be completely over.
Live or die!
Life or death is this time!
Obviously, at Golden Harvest at this time, Zou Wenhuai also understood the impact of this contest on Golden Harvest.
He Guanchang looked at the decisive Zou Wenhuan, but at this moment he didn't know how to persuade him.
Thinking about how high-spirited they were when they left Shaw Brothers, a few of them sat together, chatting that they must bring Golden Harvest to glory, defeat Shaw Brothers, and prove their ability.
In The One-Armed Sword Fighting the Blind Man, how happy they were when they were drunk in the office.
Li Xiaolong's Tangshan Big Brother broke Xiangjiang's box office record, how high-spirited they are!
But this situation soon disappeared, and it all started after Chu Huan created black and white images.
If, if we hadn't chosen to target Chu Huan in black and white, would the result be different now?
He Guanchang said this suddenly.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at He Guanchang, but didn't answer his question, because Zou Wenhuai didn't know what the answer was.
But what is certain is that he did not blame He Guanchang for his seemingly weak statement.
Zou Wenhuai understands that He Guanchang is definitely not looking down on Jiahe, but just sighing about Jiahe's current situation.
Leonard, don't think too much. We may not lose this battle. Although Xu Guanwen has already gained some fame, this is his first time as a director. Xu Guanjie has never proved himself in a movie.
Just as Shao Yifu analyzed, facing Xu Guanwen's Ghost and Horse Twin Stars, Zou Wenhuai did not think that he would definitely lose.
He Guanchang could only nod his head at this time, and then said: I have already asked the people from the company's publicity department to prepare, and I have already contacted the people from the newspaper office. No matter what happens to the midnight show tonight, tomorrow will be The voice of praise for the movie Double Dragon Going to Sea!
Although they believe that the combination of Longgang + Xie Xian + Deng Guangrong can beat the Xu Brothers, they still need to make preparations.
Zou Wenhuai nodded.
He Guanchang glanced at Zou Wenhuai, and finally said helplessly: There are also those businessmen in Japan who have also said that if this movie can't make money, they will only invest in Li Xiaolong's movies in the future, and other movies .”
He Guanchang didn't talk about the other films, but Zou Wenhuai understood that if this film still hit the market, the capital behind Golden Harvest would definitely not invest in other Golden Harvest films!
As I said before, when Zou Wenhuai founded Golden Harvest, he didn't have that much capital. Instead, he relied on Japanese funds and the investment of wealthy businessmen from his hometown to establish Golden Harvest and take over Cathay Pacific.
But those funds are not invested in Golden Harvest, but simply invested in Golden Harvest's films. This is like a Hollywood film studio. They are responsible for raising a project, but most of the funds are not from their studio. , but with bank loans or financing from Wall Street.
Only those very few films that have a high possibility of making money before filming start, they will invest with their own company's funds.
But this is very rare!
The same is true for Jiahe!
This is why it is said that if this movie fails, Golden Harvest will lose its market in Xiangjiang.
Li Xiaolong's films did make money, but Golden Harvest did not hold all of the box office proceeds. Instead, they partnered with Warner to invest, and part of their Golden Harvest investment was external funds.
There are actually very few who are actually allocated to Jiahe.
If Golden Harvest Films' films in Xiangjiang can also make money, those capitals will naturally be willing to put money in Golden Harvest for them to continue investing, and then continue to make money from money.
But now, apart from Li Xiaolong's movies, Golden Harvest's movies are made and paid for, and those capitals are naturally unwilling to put the money in Golden Harvest.
Now that Li Xiaolong has gone to Hollywood, the speed of filming has obviously slowed down, and the capital is unwilling to wait.
That's the end of the matter, everything is watching this movie!
Zou Wenhuai once again placed his bet on the movie Huanglong Going to Sea.
Compared with Jiahe's gloom and gloom, the black-and-white image looks much more relaxed.
The company didn't even keep anyone in the company because of this incident.
Fang Jianhui accompanied Brother Xu Guanwen to the cinema to attend the midnight show, but Chu Huan neither went to the black and white video nor the cinema to watch the midnight show.
There are two reasons. The first is that Chu Huan is very confident in the movie Ghost Horse Twin Stars.
Li Xiaolong did not die in this universe because of his own existence, but he also went to Hollywood to develop. From now on, Xiangjiang's market can only be taken care of, rather than fully invested.
This gave Xu Guanwen a chance. Since Ghost and Horse Twin Stars is still the same Ghost and Horse Twin Stars, and it has black and white images that are more powerful than the other time and space Golden Harvest, there must be no problem at the box office.
Although Chu Huan didn't know if Longgang's Shuanglong Going to Sea existed in another time and space, but Chu Huan was sure of one thing, the one that could defeat Xu Guanwen would definitely not be this movie.
To say that Chu Huan is even more willing to believe this movie, maybe Cheng Long's Junior and Brother released in December this year is more likely!
That's right, the title of Cheng Long's new movie has been decided, which is the first movie Junior and Brother written and directed by him in another time and space.
However, due to the lack of precipitation from the previous films, it is not known whether Cheng Long's Junior and Brother can achieve the same results as the film of the same name in another time and space.
As for the second reason, it is judged based on the first reason, that is, since Golden Harvest is definitely about to lose, why do I still care about this matter so much?
So after Chu Huan finished his work in Jiahu Mansion today, he went straight back to Miao Kexiu's villa in Repulse Bay.
Originally Chu Huan thought that Miao Kexiu and Cao Yunshang should have gotten used to living together, but Chu Huan still underestimated the thinness of their two skins after all. Two villas for living.
Brother Huan, are you really planning to buy Jiahe?
At this time, Miao Kexiu and Chu Huan were lying on the bed, and there was some ambiguous smell in the room. It was obvious that there had been a big battle here before.
Chu Huan did not hide anything in front of Miao Kexiu, and said with a smile: If there is this opportunity, I don't mind buying Jiahe!
When Miao Kexiu heard what Chu Huan said, she couldn't help but sigh. Chu Huan has only been involved in the film industry for a few years. At the beginning, everyone thought that Chu Huan founded a film company just for himself.
As a result, this film company became the second largest film company in Xiangjiang in less than two years, and now it wants to acquire Jiahe, the third largest and once second largest film company in Xiangjiang!
Is there such a way to play tickets?
Miao Kexiu really wanted to ask those who had said these words.
Does Brother Long know?
Those people have no way to ask, now they can only ask others.
Chu Huan said with a smile: Even if Golden Harvest wants to give up, it will only give up Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, and the Japanese market. It will never give up on Li Xiaolong!
No matter who buys Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest can get a large amount of cash, and this cash can just allow Golden Harvest to continue to develop in Hollywood!
But at that time, Jiahe really only had Li Xiaolong left!
While Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu were chatting, the phone in the room rang. Chu Huan checked the time, and it happened to be the end of the midnight show of Ghost Horse Double Star.
Today is gone, thank you everyone, the next chapter will be tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the morning~
