Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Hundreds of millions?" Zou Wenhuai's heart sank. Although Golden Harvest has shot several popular movies in succession, it is still far behind Hong Kong's top companies like Hutchison Whampoa, not to mention that Hutchison is only one of its subsidiaries. .

Zou Wenhuai did not refuse directly. In the face of absolute capital, some resistance is meaningless.

Xu Zhi continued: "Zou Sheng, you will definitely not lose money on this price, and future theater chains will do things according to the rules. The quality of Jiahe's movies has always been good, and there will never be any problems here in Xiangjiang. In this way, Zou Sheng can also devote his energy to Leave it to Hollywood to give us Chinese a voice!"

Zou Wenhuai said with a deep expression: "In addition to Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, Lei Juekun of Kowloon Jianye recently founded a Golden Princess cinema chain. Does Xu Sheng also want to acquire this company?"

"It's not necessary. The core theaters are under control, so let them deal with the leftovers." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Golden Princess Cinema Line was established in the early 1980s. Founder Lei Juekun actually owned only 4 theater lines. He relied on contracts to link more than a dozen independent theaters to form Golden Princess Cinema Line.

In the original history, Princess Jin was popular for ten years from 1980 to 1990. During its heyday, it forced the two enemies of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe to work together to fight against each other.

But these people have not yet formed a large scale, and their film sources are unstable. How could Xu Zhi be willing to spend money to buy out such a company.

In addition to acquiring existing theater chains, as long as we wait a few years and the real estate crisis breaks out, many independent theaters will be forced to sell for various reasons. That will be the golden period for growth.

"I still need to think about this matter for a few days." Zou Wenhuai said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I hope to hear the good news about Zou Sheng soon!" Xu Zhi smiled, and at the same time called the waiter, "I like the food and wine here the best, you two can also taste it slowly."

…

On the way back to Jiahe, in the Rolls-Royce, Zou Wenhuai clenched his fist and hit the back of the front seat hard. The driver was startled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and could only drive the car cautiously.

He Guanchang said: "This matter is very troublesome!"

Zou Wenhuai said angrily: "I never expected that our cooperation would bring such a big disaster to Jiahe!"

He Guanchang said: "You don't have to think too much. Even if we don't give him a chance at the beginning, people like Xu Zhi can still find other ways, so let's think about what's going on now!"

"I am not willing to accept it. The current method of Jiahe controlling all satellite companies, directors and actors is because we have a monopoly on theaters. Once sold to Xu Zhi, the entire Jiahe system will collapse!" Zou Wenhuai said cautiously.

"I understand this!" He Guanchang said: "But what can we do now? Even if we refuse, will we be able to survive if the other party invests hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the theater chain industry? Once his theater chain is really like this He said that it is open to all movies, and who wouldn’t be interested in several of our satellite companies?”

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and said, "How about we join forces with Lei Juekun? Maybe there is still hope?"

He Guanchang shook his head and said: "It's useless. Li Jiacheng and HSBC teamed up and lost to Xu Zhi in the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa. Compared with capital, who in the whole of Hong Kong can beat him now?"

"Then you mean we accept his conditions?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

"When the interruption continues, it will be disrupted. Xu Zhi also said that he will not participate in the filming of the movie. In this case, we might as well think about how to ensure the greater interests of our Jiahe in the future!" He Guanchang replied.

Zou Wenhuai sneered: "If he said he wouldn't participate, he wouldn't participate? If he really monopolized all the theaters, wouldn't he have the final say in the entire Hong Kong film market?"

He Guanchang sighed: "Then it's just a gamble. And considering his position, he really doesn't like the profits of Hong Kong's local movies."

"Then we can only take one step at a time!"

…

The merger of theater chains is related to the future development of the entire Xiangjiang film industry. Perhaps some classic films will disappear due to the butterfly effect, but as long as the factor of "profit" is injected, future films will surely flourish. More importantly, with With this name, it could officially enter the mainland market in the late 1980s.

In the past, the Southeast Asian market was closed and Hollywood movies were impacted. In the late 1980s, the Central Cultural Bureau considered supporting the return of Hong Kong and allowed some film companies to build theater chains in designated cities in the mainland. At the same time, it would also liberalize some markets. At that time, Golden Harvest was in full swing. Naturally, he was the first choice. However, Zou Wenhuai made a very idiotic wrong decision and lost this cooperation opportunity. The mainland also closed the door to Hong Kong movies.

In this life, Xu Zhi will naturally not allow this to happen again. Even if the movies and TV in Hong Kong will eventually decline, as long as the mainland culture rises, it will be better than the invasion of some kimchi culture.

While Zou Wenhuai was thinking hard about this problem, Xu Zhi caught a flight to Wanwan, where Midea Semiconductor Company was about to lay the foundation stone for its first semiconductor factory.

After Zhang Zhongmou resigned from Texas Instruments, with the cooperation of Xu Zhi's funds and his own network, he hired more than 40 engineers and managers from Texas Instruments and other electronic companies in the United States. After the team was established, Zhang Zhongmou immediately As a new company, he went to Intel Corporation to negotiate the acquisition of two 3-inch wafer production lines.

In recent years, due to the rise of Japanese semiconductors, Intel's share of the memory market has begun to shrink, and it is intending to reduce its production capacity. After the two parties contacted, Zhang Zhongmou finally successfully bought it for US$6.3 million.

The chip factory was naturally located in the Bay Area. After half a month of negotiation with the Bay Area government, Zhang Zhongmou successfully acquired a 500-acre piece of land in the Hsinchu Industrial Park at a very low price.

The foundation of the factory had just been laid, and Wanwan officials used this as an excuse to invite Xu Zhi, and also sent Li Changlong, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, to pick him up at the airport. As soon as Xu Zhi walked out of the exit channel, Li Changlong stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Welcome Xu Zhi." Come to Wanwan, sir!”

Before Xu Zhi's visit, his team had already rushed to Wanwan. Huo Jianning had been here for a while. He naturally knew the people he was hosting and introduced them to Xu Zhi one by one.

The Taiwanese government obviously valued Xu Zhi's visit. However, due to Xu Zhi's request, the only reporters who came to interview were reporters from Taiwan United Newspapers and Taiwan Television. They answered some press release-like questions at the airport. Afterwards, Xu Zhi and the rest of the group got on a vehicle arranged by the Bayan government and headed to the hotel that had been arranged.
