Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 55 Unexpected

"Pretty Girl" has been in theaters for one week, with a total box office of 3.28 million Hong Kong dollars.

Also on this day, the two dramas "Happy Ghost 2" and "The Best Son-in-Law" were completed.

Since Chen Jiashang had worked with Johnnie To as an assistant director before, the overall story direction of "Happy Ghost 2" did not deviate. However, Su Cheng, who saw the rough film, could clearly sense that he was not good at directing at this stage.

It's still very serious, but as long as the filming isn't too bad and the editing is good, this kind of fast-food comedy can work.

On the contrary, it was "The Best Son-in-Law" directed by Wu Yaohan that made Su Cheng's eyes brighten. This man has been immersed in the film industry for many years, and his skills are sophisticated and unique.

After walking out of the movie viewing party, Liang Shuyi said: "Boss, will the promotion of these two films be slowed down, or will we still cooperate with TVB?"

"Of course we will continue to cooperate with Wireless!" Su Cheng said in confusion.

Although they are already making plans to acquire Li's TV station, it won't happen so early, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the process. Furthermore, letting Shu Qi put on a "show" for the Hong Kong Film Awards is paralyzing Shaw

and Fang Yihua.

How can you reveal something strange at the critical moment?

Seemingly thinking of something, Su Cheng said: "Two days ago, I heard that Mr. Li Xiaohe was seriously ill and hospitalized again. You should also ask someone to inquire. If it is true, I am afraid that Wireless will mess up its own situation. After all, I can't stand Fang Yihua.

There are too many people.”

Hearing this, Liang Shuyi said with some surprise: "Boss, do you mean that something might happen to Mr. Li?"

Nodding, Su Chengyan said: "In just a few months this year, I have been sent to the emergency room three times. I'm afraid we are running out of time."

Liang Shuyi said: "I know, boss!"

…

Reality often does not change according to human will.

This is the so-called sudden arrival and sudden drop.

Originally, Su Cheng thought it would be difficult to acquire Li's TV Station, but God played a joke on him. After Huang Xizhao's "cheating", he actually found out the internal information of Li's Voice Company. Didn't they contact him next year?

The Australian consortium has already negotiated, but unfortunately the other party's capital contribution is too low. For 61% of the shares, they are only willing to pay HKD 60 million.

At this moment, we received the good news that Su Cheng wanted to acquire the company. It was only 90 million Hong Kong dollars. This was much cheaper than Qiu Degen's 100 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for 50% of the shares.

Immediately, Su Cheng replied: "Manager Huang, please tell me, this price is meaningless to me. However, I hope they can help me get the other shares. To show sincerity, our company can give them extra

A handling fee of HKD 5 million.”

"Okay, Mr. Su, I'll contact you right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Lili immediately informed Liang Shuyi and Wu Zheng. Since both parties were interested, the 61% of the shares could not be let go. The sooner the contract was signed, the more at ease one would feel.

After finishing this matter, Su Chengcai began to think about it carefully. In the past, his idea was to use the money earned from making movies to buy theater chains. In this way, by releasing movies, he would gradually expand the influence of Tengyue Entertainment Company. But

Only when I was in the game did I realize that many of the difficulties of not having money are constraints.

No wonder Shaw Brothers only distributes its films in Southeast Asia, while Golden Harvest is focusing on the North American market on a large scale. This is all caused by insufficient funds. If you have strong financial reserves, produce, distribute and promote by yourself, what are you afraid of?

How to make a lot of money quickly?

Others can't, but Su Cheng, who has many past life memories, can do it.

At least, he knew about the Battle of Wharf and the "big feat" that Li Ka-shing was about to complete, commonly known as the "signing of the century". The acquisition of "Hutchison Whampoa".

Starting from the second half of last year, Li Ka-shing first acquired Qingzhou Yingni, and then obtained 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares through Shen Bi of HSBC Bank, but he did not pay a dime. It was all bank loans.

If nothing unexpected happens, before the year before, he will have completely taken over Hutchison Whampoa and become the majority shareholder.

Once this happens, the nominal payment of more than HK$600 million can be worth nearly HK$5 billion.

Just like the Battle of Wharf, after two years, a share of 30 Hong Kong dollars suddenly reached 100 yuan. What kind of method is this?

Since Li's TV station is about to be taken over, Su Cheng's idea is that once the contract is signed, he will use the cash in hand to purchase a large share of Hutchison Whampoa. He will wait until the second half of the year to make another profit.

As for becoming a major shareholder, it doesn’t matter whether you have the financial resources or not. Even if you do, it’s not realistic at the moment. At least, Hutchison Whampoa’s potential will have to wait until after 1984 when real estate values ​​appreciate.

Su Cheng didn't have the time to wait quietly.

Of course, before this, the main focus was on acquiring Wharf shares.

Why did he do this in secret? One was because he didn't want Wu Guangzheng to think that he was robbing money. The other was that the shipping king currently had a very close relationship with Li Ka-shing. After all, the two collaborated during the Wharf War. And he? In their eyes, he is just a small character.

There are many times when money can be made, such as the real estate crisis in 1983 and the Carinone Group bubble. The Hong Kong dollar crisis in the same year set the exchange rate at 1:7.8.

In fact, in Su Cheng's memory, there is also an incident where Lee Shau Kee showed off his power and made a lot of money in the stock market next year. However, he didn't know what it was or when. He could only do things that impressed him deeply.

Just as he was thinking about this, Chen Shufen suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Boss, Manager Liang asked me to start selecting artists from Wireless and Shaw Brothers. Who do we need?"

Um?

Hearing this, Su Cheng was stunned.

It took me a while to realize it! They were about to take over Li's TV station. Wasn't Wireless taking action against them? In that case, why not fight back?

After frowning and thinking for a while, Su Cheng said, "You don't have to worry about this for now. I'll think about it here. Once we have the list, you can just execute it when the time comes."

"Okay, boss!"

Although Su Cheng knew that Liang Shuyi's intention was to think that Chen Shufen knew the situation at TVB and could facilitate the selection of people. But in Su Cheng's eyes, not everyone is needed. In his eyes, the "big stars" may not be the same. .After all, what he needs are artists who can be popular in the next ten or even twenty years, not just "artists who were once popular."

Thinking of this, Su Cheng directly called Wang Jing. Fatty was much more familiar with wireless than Chen Shufen. What's more, he knew more "talented" people who were not reused.
