Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

The Peninsula Hotel, inside the ballroom on the eighth floor.

The celebration banquet continued in full swing.

Men and women linger at the long buffet table with goblets in their goblets, and from time to time they find a happy conversation with their best friends.

With the generous bonus system announced earlier, the overall atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, but when many people whispered, their curious eyes were still placed on the most central circle of the banquet.

Song Pictures has been established for less than a year, and Song Tianyao has basically never appeared in the company, let alone a new employee, and even the old employees have not met a few times.

Seeing that the fifth diamond king is in front of him, many newly hired actresses are in good condition and want to move, but every time they want to go up and talk, they will be kindly reminded by the crew and staff.

They were impressed, clearly remembered what happened to the crew, and didn’t want to go out.

If Song Tianyao knew that the employees were afraid of this, how many red lines he had cut, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

“Chairman, at your request, after a month of negotiations by the negotiating team, including the release of song copyright, the signing of artist contracts, and distribution channels…”

“The final condition given by PolyGram Records is 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and it must be paid in one lump sum, and the other party does not agree to settle the bill in installments.”

After Yan Xuehai’s report, Chao Song Tianyao handed over a document: “This is a complete meeting process from beginning to end, and there is a full asset appraisal of PolyGram. ”

Song Tianyao then did not say anything about the document, and looked at it seriously.

Looking at the chairman’s focused expression, Yan Xuehai had a feeling of not spitting unpleasantly, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed.

Song Tianyao saw Yan Xuehai, who was about to talk and stop talking, with a constipated expression, and said with a kind smile: “Don’t hide anything to say, you are the general manager who coordinates large and small affairs, not a small staff who only obeys orders.” ”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s right to talk wrong, but don’t twist and pinch, you can talk about any suggestions, and I will judge the specific decision.”

“Now, tell me what you think.”

“Got it!”

Yan Xuehai nodded in relief and carefully reminded: “Chairman, all the assets of PolyGram Records have been strictly evaluated by the accounting firm, and the net value is only more than 41 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

“Even if PolyGram is developing well now, taking into account all the expected potential in the future, it will not reach a market value of 50 million in three years.”

“The other party bid 80 million, the premium is too high, and it does not accept installments, which is a bit of a lion’s mouth.”

“My advice is that maybe you can start a record label from scratch, but you may not be able to catch up.”

“Good idea.”

After listening to Song Tianyao smiled and nodded, not waiting for Yan Xuehai to be happy, he continued: “But have you ever thought that time is more precious than money.” ”

“Let me ask you, how many years has PolyGram Records taken to develop now?”

“Eight years!”

Yan Xuehai blurted out.

“And how many years has Starry Sky Culture been established? In less than a year, I have no interest in developing step by step, and what can be solved with money is not called a problem. ”

Song Tianyao said succinctly.

“Ming, got it!”

Yan Xuehai nodded quickly. The glorious era of records has only just begun.

Song Tianyao was not interested in setting up a record company from scratch, and it was too laborious. Record labels, like film production, rely heavily on distribution channels. Whoever masters the distribution channel will pinch the throat of the record company. And the construction of distribution channels can not be completed overnight.

If you want not to be pinched by the neck, then acquiring a channel company that can independently distribute Hong Kong Island, overseas ports, Southeast Asia, and even overseas is the top priority.

And PolyGram is the most suitable company, with a complete channel.

It is important to know that PolyGram was formed by the merger of overseas Polydor and Philips.

With the sufficient support of the parent company, it took eight years of development before the channel was close to perfection.

Well, it’s perfectly fine for him to pay twice the premium for these hours.

And if you don’t give enough money, how can those treacherous ghosts agree to sell a company with good momentum?

What Song Tianyao wants is to exchange money for time.

Moreover, two years later, the appearance of superstar Tam Wing Lin ushered in a new era of Cantonese songs, when PolyGram’s purchase price was more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was impossible to sell.

Wouldn’t it be laborious to fight in the ring at that time.

I don’t know if it’s okay, since it has been expected, why not strangle the opponent directly in the cradle from the source?

What chess opponents? Sympathetic?

Shit!!!

Song Tianyao doesn’t have this fetish, what he wants is to push the past and the family is the only one. If nothing else, the label “PolyGram” alone is more than 80 million.

Eighty million, no loss at all.

At this thought, Song Tianyao suddenly remembered an interesting thing.

Sir Shao’s TVB also has a record company called Huaxing, but it has been tepid for seven years since its establishment, and there is no popular singer under it.

And after the acquisition of PolyGram, the contract of singer Xu Guanjie also went to Star Culture.

And Xu Guanjie’s eldest brother Xu Guanmin is the director of “Ghost Horse Double Star” and belongs to. Under Jiahe.

The younger brother Xu Guanjie has joined the company, and it is not impossible for the elder brother to pull over.

Song Tianyao has long wanted the four Xu brothers to join, mainly the eldest brother and the fourth brother.

Can make movies, can be a singer, and can be an actor. Such talents are rare, not many.

In this way, it is clear that he did not deliberately target Jiahe and Shaw, but it seems that he has been digging their corners.

It’s a bit unbelievable to say this.

A little strange smile, Song Tianyao closed the document and clapped: “Reply to the other party, 80 million Hong Kong dollars, one-time settlement, I agree, sign the agreement as soon as possible!” ”

“Understood!”

Yan Xuehai hurriedly wrote it down in his notebook, raised his head and reminded: “Chairman, if you transfer 80 million funds at one time, there will be problems in the operation of the theater line!” And the studios will also come to a standstill. ”

“I know.”

Song Tianyao knew this in his heart, and was not surprised by this, and ordered: “Tomorrow, Starry Sky Culture will inject 30 million Hong Kong dollars into the Song Cinema Line. ”

Left hand to the right hand, poured and washed.

“After PolyGram became a subsidiary of Star Culture, it also acquired some newspapers and magazines, preferably such as Sing Tao Evening News, Ming Pao, Nanguo Film, Economic Daily, which have a large number of readers and huge influence as the main target.”

“Go hand in hand in many directions!”

“Don’t be afraid of high prices, just afraid that they won’t sell.”

“Just let it go!”

Yan Xuehai’s hand quickly swiped on the notebook, he faintly felt a giant ship begin to set sail, nodded excitedly and said: “Understood!” ”

The ultimate goal of Starry Sky Culture is to become a media collection that has the absolute right to speak.

and other PolyGram acquisitions.

Starry Sky Culture already has the distribution capabilities of production, theaters, records, and print media, and completely forms a close to perfect closed loop.

But that’s not enough.

It is just the prototype of the group.

The most important link is the radio and television station, but it is not yet time, and the funds are not allowed.

Money doesn’t fall from the sky.

With the rapid acquisition strategy, Song Tianyao’s funds on hand were also rapidly reduced, and there were more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars left in the available funds.

However, it not only owns a number of media companies, but also a number of real estate, finance, security and security companies.

However, these companies are not yet in the climate. Although Galaxy Real Estate owns the land of Qidezun Village.

However, together with the shares of Shieldfox as collateral, a three-year, HK$100 million loan was made with HSBC.

Cannot be developed, negligible.

General Manager Ye Bo has obtained a few small plots of land on Hong Kong Island and is developing buildings, but he is making small troubles, and he is not idle in practice, and he cannot make much money.

It is completely incomparable with other real estate companies on Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, the real estate company alone is already a situation of high debt, and it is impossible to talk about refinancing.

Polaris Financial is now managed by Anne.

However, the financial license cannot be obtained for the time being, and it is impossible to raise funds from shareholders, and the specific development has to be ranked in the back row.

Shieldfox Safety & Security business is thriving and bringing a steady stream of profits.

The company is staffed by well-trained veterans and growing.

As an armed force, development always comes first.

“The money is still not spent, so quickly scattered almost.”

After carefully reviewing the industry in his hand, Song Tianyao shook his head and complained in his heart, and couldn’t help but wonder where the funds for follow-up development came from? Stock market? Futures? Can’t remember too much, sitting on the village and cutting leeks? It’s not a long-term solution, so it’s okay to come once in a while.

Continue to borrow with the company in your hands? Can be considered. Messing around? Not bad too!

It seems that the fastest way is to use other people’s money to make money. The one who has never heard of owing money is the uncle.

Borrow chickens to lay eggs, and by the way, slaughter chickens again.

Taking a sip of red wine and ruling out some unreliable ideas, he already had a specific implementation plan in his mind.

Yan Xuehai on the side did not dare to omission, carefully remembered all of Song Tianyao’s orders, and then suggested with a smile: “Chairman, I think you should find a secretary, or set up a secretary’s office to assist you in handling affairs.” ”

“After all, when PolyGram becomes a subsidiary, there will be more and more big and small matters that you need to decide.”

“And multiple company office locations are not together, management is also a different task, human resources are actually a bit hidden.”

“Therefore, I recommend finding a secretary’s office to be responsible for summarizing affairs so that you can better grasp the development of the company, so that the operation will be smoother!”

It has been less than a year since the establishment of the first company.

Song Tianyao handled affairs handily, and he didn’t feel powerless, and he really didn’t think about finding a secretary or assistant.

After all, all developments are in accordance with his instructions, and the use of the secretary cannot be reflected, so he subconsciously ignores this.

However, Yan Xuehai’s words reminded him that the company is getting bigger and bigger, he is not a superman, he can’t do everything, and there is a secretariat to take care of small things, but it is a lot of worry.

In the back, you can also buy a piece of land and build your own media building, and many companies are all crammed together.

Thinking of this, Song Tianyao agreed with a smile: “Yes, you can arrange it!” ”

“Okay.”

Yan Xuehai was full of smiles, nodded very happily, and drew a heavy stroke in the notebook.

This is the first time that his proposal has not been rejected by the chairman, although it is only a trivial matter.

However, the chairman’s agreement proved that his idea was okay, or he began to doubt whether he was qualified for the position.
