Dreams of the Fragrant River

The plane draws a trajectory in the sky, and in the cabin of the plane flying from Beijing to Hong Kong, Shao Yifu and Kang Jianfei are sitting together. The picture is harmonious like two old friends chatting. [;Starting]

Shao Yifu said: "The four leading cinemas of Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong have a minimum rent of 60 million for five years. No matter how low the price is, there is no need to negotiate."

Kang Jianfei pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, at this price, 120 million in 10 years."

There is a big difference between 60 million rent in 5 years and 120 million rent in 10 years. After all, the economy needs inflation to develop.

Regarding Kang Jianfei's little trick, Shao Yifu just shook his head and smiled and said: "10 years is too long, no one can tell what will happen in the future, both you and me are at risk, and the longest lease term is 5 years. "

Kang Jianfei said: "If I only rent for 5 years, the rent of 60 million is too expensive. I can buy the land and open a new theater myself."

Shao Yifu argued: "You may be able to open four large-scale theaters for 60 million yuan, but good locations are not easy to get. And my four theaters have accumulated Shaw's reputation for decades, and many movie fans have gone there. The habit of watching movies there is far inferior to the newly opened theaters.”

"Audiences always watch the movie, and don't really care which theater the movie is shown in," Kang Jianfei took Shao Yifu's scar without hesitation. The factory has never been short of good movies. Besides, Boss Shao, you paid such a high price, it seems that few people except me are willing to take over."

With such a good theater under Shaw Brothers, there are naturally countless people who want to take over, but those who want to take over have no money at all. Although Princess Jin and Jiahe are rich, the scale of these two theaters is large enough, and adding more theaters is not much use.

Now that Shao Yifu wants to rent out and transfer Shaw's theaters, the biggest difficulty is also here, that is, the price is too expensive: those who can afford the money are not interested, and those who are interested can't pay.

There are many rich and rich people in Hong Kong, but there are absolutely no rich people like Pan Disheng in the parallel space who can spend one or two hundred million to develop a cinema chain. Even Pan Disheng at this time. His Debao Film Company has been established for several months, and now he has not made a single movie. What is the use of the theater chain?

Shao Yifu is now facing such an embarrassing situation. He is unwilling to rent and transfer the theater at a low price, and the price is too high and no one is willing to take over.

What's more, before the Sino-British negotiation is over, the Hong Kong stock market will not be able to really rise up. The rich are all in dire need of cash to fill their holes. Who has spare money to buy theaters?

On the flight from Beijing to Hong Kong. Two foxes, one old and one small, had wishful thinking. Start your haggling.

Why does this scene occur?

The cultural group visiting Beijing stayed in the capital for 3 days. Mr. Zhao Shaoang still had business in the capital, so Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu were the only ones to return on the plane.

As the owners of the only two TV stations in Hong Kong, the leaders of the central government met with the two of them alone, and the meeting lasted for three hours. Except for Shao Yifu and Kang Jianfei. No one knew what they talked about that time, and few people even knew that Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu had been to the capital during that time.

After a secret meeting with leaders, Shao Yifu decided to stop Shaw's production business and lease or transfer its theaters.

And Shao Yifu intends to take action in the theater, and Kang Jianfei intends to take over, so the two of them naturally "released their previous suspicions" and sat down together to discuss business together.

When the plane landed at Hong Kong Airport, the two have initially reached a cooperation intention:

Kang Jianfei will spend 70 million Hong Kong dollars to lease the four leading theaters of Shaw Brothers for 8 years; at the same time, it will invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Together with the land, he bought 3 medium-sized theaters in Shaw Brothers; finally, he bid 13 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the other 3 small theaters and land in Shao Yifu's hands.

That is to say, Kang Jianfei invested a total of 113 million yuan to buy 6 Shaw Brothers cinemas and lease 4 Shaw Brothers leading theaters for eight years.

On the lease term and rent of Dragon Head Cinemas. Shao Yifu made concessions, but Kang Jianfei had to pack other theaters to take over.

After that, what Shao Yifu had left was a theater in a certain building. He planned to use it to convert it into a shopping supermarket, or rent it out as an office. Anyway, he didn't plan to show any more movies.

Judging from the current housing prices and land prices in Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei is at a disadvantage in this transaction, but if it is put into next year, Shao Yifu will probably not be so "low selling and low rent".

Kang Jianfei bought 6 theaters at one time, and then rented 4 leading theaters, which means that the Oriental Cinema Line instantly increased by 10 theaters.

But in terms of the current market potential and scale of Hong Kong, a theater chain with 25 theaters is basically the limit. No matter how many theaters there are, there will be internal frictions - oneself and oneself grab audiences.

Therefore, the three cinemas with the worst quality bought from Shaw Brothers, Kang Jianfei intends to resell or only use them as investment properties. As a result, the number of theaters in the Oriental Cinema Line is exactly 24, including 12 wholly owned by Kang Jianfei, 8 franchise theaters, and finally 4 leading theaters rented from Shao Yifu.

As a result, the Oriental Cinema Line has become a well-deserved giant in the Hong Kong film industry. There are 8 big theaters that can be used as leading theaters alone, and their ability to attract money far exceeds that of Princess Jin and Golden Harvest.

Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu walked out of the airport talking and laughing, and then got into their cars. Due to their good confidentiality, they did not attract many people's ideas.

Fang Yihua, who came to pick him up in person, looked at Kang Jian's flying car behind him and asked Shao Yifu, "Sixth brother, what did you guys talk about so happily?"

Shao Yifu said lightly: "I sold Shaw Cinemas to him."

"What!" Fang Yihua was shocked and said, "You can't sell it to Kang Jianfei, you can't sell it to anyone. This poor boy is against us all day long, and selling the theater to him will not encourage his arrogance?"

"Apart from him, who will take over the entire Shaw Brothers cinema chain?" Shao Yifu asked rhetorically.

Fang Yihua stopped talking immediately. If it were only the four leading theaters of Shaw Brothers, then either Princess Jin or Jiahe would be happy to buy it. But Shao Yifu wanted to sell the entire theater line in a package, and the four most important leading theaters were only rented but not sold. Except for Kang Jianfei, who took a lot of money, no one would do such a stupid thing.

After a while, Shao Yifu said again: "In the future, the TV station will still have to compete with the Phoenix TV for ratings, but don't play with small tricks, lest everyone get angry. Kang Jianfei has promised just now, the Phoenix TV Bian will not deliberately shoot TV series similar to TVB because of robbing ratings."

"I see." Fang Yihua said a little depressedly.

In parallel time and space, the relationship between ATV and TVB at this time is very strange. The two TV stations compete fiercely to grab the ratings, but the major shareholders of both sides are good friends in private, and sometimes even have some small cooperation. When ATV caught fire, the wireless TVB side even lent the office to ATV employees to use, which ensured that ATV did not stop broadcasting.

Of course, Phoenix TV and Wireless TVB will not get along so well, but after the private communication between Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, at least everyone will not compete maliciously in order to defeat each other in the future.

Just when Fang Yihua felt depressed, Zhao Yazhi, who came to pick up the plane, also asked Kang Jianfei very curiously: "I saw that you had a good chat with Mr. Shao just now. Am I seeing flowers?"

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I just negotiated a business deal with him, and everyone felt that they made a profit, so it seemed that the chat was quite pleasant."

"What business?" Zhao Yazhi asked.

Kang Jianfei looked at the traffic outside the window and said with a sigh: "After the summer vacation this year, there will be no Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong."

"Shaw Brothers is going to stop production?" Zhao Yazhi exclaimed. For Hong Kong people who grew up watching Shaw Brothers movies, the news of Shaw Brothers' shutdown is indeed surprising enough.

"Not only will Shaw Brothers stop production, but even the Shaw Brothers Cinema will be merged into the Oriental Cinema." Kang Jianfei's mood was also very complicated. When a Shaw Brother was dying, he finally shoveled a handful of soil on his grave. How much? Some rabbits are dead and foxes are sad.

"You bought the Shaw Brothers Cinema?" Zhao Yazhi was surprised by the news that Kang Jianfei said.

Kang Jianfei nodded and admitted, and continued: "This time I went to Beijing, I went to the Beijing Film Studio for a walk, and also contacted the China Film Co., Ltd. The first film will be shot in the mainland next month, although you are not a woman. The protagonist, but the role is also very important, I am afraid that you will be arrested by the Taiwan authorities."

"I don't go to Taiwan much anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile. She has been very leisurely in the past year, and she also made a TV series and a movie~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At other times, she can do whatever she wants.

Kang Jianfei didn't say more. The most optimistic estimate of the filming time of the first part would take at least seven or eight months. For example, Jiuzhaigou is a little better. After all, it has been gradually developed there. Not to mention the difficulty of transportation to Zhangjiajie, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Sometimes it may take half a month to wait for a good shot, and many shots have to be contacted. Military helicopters were not allowed to assist in the filming.

Coupled with post-production, when the first film is finished, it will be at least a year later.

Zhao Yazhi leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder quietly, enjoying a rare warm moment.

Zeng Bolin suddenly asked in an unpleasant manner: "Boss, there is still an hour and a half before the premiere, should we go directly or first..."

"I'll go to Azhi's side first," Kang Jianfei scratched Zhao Yazhi's palm quietly, and said to Zeng Bolin, "Just get off the bus in front and make arrangements at the premiere."

Zhao Yazhi bit his lower lip, a faint shyness appeared on his face, and he naturally knew what bad things Kang Jianfei was going to do.
