Reborn Tycoon Rise

"I'm not interested!" Xu Zhi shook his head and refused.

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Why?"

"Zou Sheng, what is your real purpose in wanting to break into Hollywood? Don't tell me it's to promote our Hong Kong culture." Xu Zhi asked with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai spat out one word: "Benefits!"

"Yes, it's just profit." Xu Zhi said: "Jiahe pushed Chen Long to enter Hollywood for profit, so I reject your proposal for the same reason, because the profit is not enough and I am not interested!"

"A Hollywood movie can earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and Xu Sheng himself has participated in the filming of one. Doesn't it mean that Xu Sheng doesn't like a movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Zou Sheng, you have secretly changed a concept. Of course I am jealous of hundreds of millions of dollars, but the movie I shot back then, although the investor was a Chinese, the culture in the whole movie belonged to In the West, strictly speaking, it is still an American film. Although it is rare for an American film to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, it is still possible to succeed, but I do not believe that a Chinese film can achieve such a return.

And your plan is to make actors famous in Hollywood. Golden Harvest can try this plan, because if it succeeds, the profit rate will be very high, but the same profit return is not interesting to me, and the total profit is too low. "

"Profit rate, total profit!" Zou Wenhuai also understood. Different people have completely different views on the same investment. For an ordinary person, investing 10,000 yuan can earn 10,000 yuan. This return is already very high, but for a billionaire For millionaires, even if they have a profit of RMB 100,000, they may not be willing to invest their energy.

After thinking about all this, Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Thank you Xu Sheng for your guidance."

Xu Zhi nodded and said to Shao Yifu: "Shao Sheng, is this dish acceptable?"

"Haha, the food in this big hotel is not bad, it's just that what Xu Sheng said was so exciting that I was a little fascinated!" Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"Just talking casually!" Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Shao Yifu said: "In fact, if Jiahe is fully prepared to develop the American market, wouldn't it be more convenient for Xu Sheng's plan?"

"What's the plan?" Zou Wenhuai asked. He didn't believe that Xu Zhi invited him over just for this kind of chat.

Xu Zhidao: "Shaw Brothers and I have reached an agreement. Hutchison Whampoa will acquire all Shaw Brothers theaters in Hong Kong."

"Hutchison Whampoa is going to enter the theater field?" Zou Wenhuai frowned. He had long known that Shao Yifu intended to transform his career and give up the film field and enter the television industry. He was also paying close attention to the wireless board of directors some time ago, so he naturally knew what happened. Now it seems that the reason why Xu Zhi helped Shao Yifu was because he sold the theater chain to him.

Xu Zhidao: "So I invited Zou Sheng here today because I hope Zou Sheng can think about it carefully and set a price. Hutchison Whampoa is willing to acquire all the theater chains owned by Zou Sheng!"

"Xu Sheng's request is too much!" Zou Wenhuai said: "I don't know the deal between you and Shao Sheng, but I will not sell my theater chain."

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "I understand that in Xiangjiang, theaters are the core assets of Golden Harvest, but it is because of this that it is the biggest threat to the entire film market in Xiangjiang. All film companies operate separately, and your movies are mine. It will not be released, and my movie will not be released in another theater. This actually causes a lot of unnecessary internal friction. For well-known companies, they can still count on Waifu to recover the costs, but some small film companies But it has added countless costs in vain. This movie is naturally made for profit. If the profit is less, the funds flowing into this industry will naturally be less."

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Can Xu Sheng guarantee absolute fairness?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, because I don't care about the profit of movies, so for the best interests of theaters, it is inevitable to screen movies fairly. In the future, whether it is a movie by an established director or an unknown company, I A first-day screen number will be determined based on investment, genre, actors, and directors, and then it will be up to the market, and everything will follow the rules."

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Since Xu Sheng doesn't see the benefits of movies, can he see the benefits of theaters?"

"Indeed, I actually don't like it either." Xu Zhi shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't value the profits of the film industry, but I do value the development of the film industry. I am also a human being, and there are times when I am bored. I just hope that when I am bored, It’s just that you can have a lot of high-quality movies to choose from!”

"Is it that simple?" This answer obviously made Zou Wenhuai a little difficult to answer.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It's that simple, and it's not entirely about commercial interests."

"No matter what, Golden Harvest does not intend to sell the theater chain." Zou Wenhuai still refused.

Xu Zhi handed over several documents and said, "Zou Sheng, would you like to take a look at these things first?"

Zou Wenhuai took it, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Xu Sheng, what does this mean?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's nothing. Hutchison Whampoa is currently undergoing business adjustments and has purchased many properties in Xiangjiang, many of which happen to be where Golden Harvest's theater chain is located."

"So, Xu Sheng is planning to break the contract and take back the theater chain?" Zou Wenhuai's face turned pale. After all, Jiahe was not established for a long time, and his background was not as good as Shao Yifu's. Most of his theater chains were rented, and now the properties have been acquired. Although there is still a lease in hand, if the other party struggles to pay the liquidated damages, they can also forcibly take back the theater chain.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Zou Sheng, don't worry, buying and selling by force is wrong, I won't do such a thing.

But Zou Sheng should also know that the contracts for some of your theater chains basically don’t last long. When the contracts expire, I can still take back the theater chains. "

Zou Wenhuai remained silent and did not speak. At this time, Xiangjiang's economy was dominated by real estate, and the theaters he rented were not long-term contracts.

Xu Zhi continued: "In addition, in addition to these, Hutchison Whampoa will also build new cinemas in many prime shopping malls in Hong Kong in the next few years. Even if Golden Harvest can re-lease cinemas in other locations, if it really fights for funds, What does Zou Sheng think he has a chance of winning?"

Zou Wenhuai said with a livid face: "Is Xu Sheng really going to do this?"

"This is how it is in shopping malls. Zou Sheng thinks that what I did is excellent, so you can think about it, have you ever done the same thing to others?" Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled.

Xu Zhi handed over a check and said, "This is the transaction price. Is Zou Sheng satisfied with it?"

"Can I buy shares in a new theater chain company?" Zou Wenhuai looked at the check and said suddenly.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, cinema chains are one of Hutchison Whampoa's important layouts. They will soon invest huge amounts of money to open channels in Southeast Asia, Japan and other countries or build cinema chains themselves. This will require hundreds of millions of funds. Jiahe Can you take it out?"
