The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

The next afternoon, Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Shao Yifu of Shaw Brothers Film Company summoned He Jiahao, but did not say what the specific matter was, but He Jiahao had to give this face, after all, Shao Yifu was an old man.

It’s not easy to support him, and it won’t sound good if it gets spread out.

When He Jiahao received this appointment, he guessed that Fang Yihua would be by his side, and it was as expected.

"Hello, Uncle Six!" As soon as he saw the two people appearing at the door, He Jiahao quickly stood up and walked over quickly.

"Haha, you are He Jiahao, I should be older than your father, so my name is Bai Haozai." Shao Yifu said with a smile on his face, but a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

This is a way of showing off one's power!

He Jiahao naturally knew what Shao Yifu was thinking, but he had to say that his age at this time was indeed a bit of a disadvantage, "Okay, then Uncle Six, just call me Hao Zai..."

"Hao Zi, you are so awesome. In less than two years, you have made 6 movies with a box office of over 15 million. I wonder if you would like to take Uncle Six to make money?" Shao Yifu directly explained his intention.

Fang Yihua next to him was secretly laughing. As expected of his sixth uncle, he started to pick on this kid as soon as he came up.

"Actually, I really wanted to cooperate with Uncle Six, but I just believed the rumors that Uncle Six was 'stingy' (stingy) and never dared to come to the door." He Jiahao smiled lightly, his eyes always on Shao Yifu's face.

The meaning is obvious. If you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity first. There is no point in being pretentious at all.

"They are all just rumors. If Hao Zai has any conditions for cooperation, please tell us first and we will discuss them."

"Jiahe approached me to talk about cooperation last time, but was scared away by my conditions, so that I don't dare to tell my conditions now." He Jiahao took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile.

"In that case, let me first talk about the conditions I am offering, which is 1 million for a script."

1000000? ! Uncle Liu's loneliness is really deep-rooted.

He Jiahao almost laughed like a pig, "Uncle Six, to be honest, Jiahe offered a script worth 2 million before, but I didn't even agree."

"Then what were the conditions you offered last time?" Shao Yifu's expression suddenly changed.

"3 million, 50/50 box office profit." Ho Ka-Hao offered a sky-high price and waited for Uncle Six to counter-offer.

Uncle Shao would definitely not ask Jiahe to confirm the truth of the matter. What would happen even if he knew the truth? The initiative is in the hands of He Jiahao, and the worst is to finish the game together.

Hearing this, both of them frowned. The price was far beyond their expectations.

"Hao Zai, no film company can agree to this condition in Hong Kong. Well, I can give you 3 million for the script, but it's impossible to get a share of the box office."

"Forget it, I'll leave it to Yun Zhimeng to take my time filming." Ho Ka-Hao is now only slightly inferior in terms of actor and director, not at all, but the shooting speed will be much slower.

At this time in the previous life, Shaw Brothers had already planned to give up on the film business, and even contracted the theater chain to Debao Film Company in the 1980s. Now, from Ho Ka-Hao, we have just seen a glimpse of the dawn of defeating Golden Harvest and regaining control of the film industry. I don’t want to pay any price, but I also want to take advantage.

How can there be such a good thing in this world? Even if He Jiahao shut down Yun Zhimeng's film department, he would not be as beautiful as Uncle Liu.

"Hahaha, Haozi, business is negotiated slowly, how can the road be blocked all at once." Shao Yifu was not angry, and still hoped to return to the top, "The 3 million script fee remains unchanged. How about you get 10% of the box office share?"

What's the difference from before?

He Jiahao still shook his head, "Uncle Six, I like to talk in business, and I can be quite irritable with my words. If there is any offense, I hope Uncle Six will not blame me. I know some of the situation of Shaw Brothers Film Company, and I also know that Uncle Six made an appointment with me. There is a need to meet, but if you continue to test it out a little bit, it won’t be necessary.”

Shao Yifu was silent. He didn't expect this kid to actually pierce the thin paper. It would really be useless to talk in the previous way.

"Haozi, Uncle Six is ​​a veteran in the film industry, can't you give me some face? In any case, Shaw Brothers is still much better than Golden Harvest, and can help you a lot." Fang Yihua began to overpower others with his eyes. is full of threats, and seems to want to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress it.

He Jiahao looked at Shao Yifu with a sneer, "Does Uncle Six mean this too?"

Seeing that Shao Yifu still didn't speak, he knew what the two of them meant, "If that's the case, then so be it."

He Jiahao stood up and left. With more than a dozen theaters in his hands, he was still worried that there would be no place to show movies.

After He Jiahao disappeared, Shao Yifu turned to look at Fang Yihua, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Since you asked me to talk, you shouldn't interfere. It won't happen again."

"I understand, I won't do it next time." Fang Yihua said respectfully.

At this time, Shao Yifu was only 71 years old and still held the power of Shaw Brothers Film Company. Fang Yihua was just his spokesperson.

Fang Yihua had admitted his mistake, and Shao Yifu could no longer pursue it, but he sighed, "He Jiahao has become a person. Movies are just his side business. The most powerful thing is real estate. We can't threaten him. The worst is to make fewer movies." But we have one more enemy.”

Hearing this, Fang Yihua's face turned very ugly. She only knew about Yunzhimeng Company and believed that the movie box office accounted for half of Yunzhimeng's profits, so she thought she could pinch He Jiahao's sore spot. Now it seems that she is the clown.

"However, our losses are not big. The film company is in trouble. Today we are just here to rescue. If we can, we will save them. If we can't, forget it. He Jiahao can't threaten us for the time being."

Fang Yihua has always been Shao Yifu's right-hand assistant. After the beating, he naturally has to comfort him, and then he must manage the company with all his heart.

After calming down, He Jiahao still felt angry. Shao Yifu and Shao Yifu had been talking about face, but they had not left any face to themselves. After reaching this position, didn't he care about face?

"Isn't it just a wireless TV station? I won't have much face left by then." He Jiahao looked back at the third floor of the hotel and said harshly.

He has many classic program themes from his previous life in his head. It is not a big problem to build a TV station. But now he does not want to waste money and energy. The real estate company is still his main direction. He has won everything that should be won. The TV station Maybe a good choice.

In fact, Shaw Brothers made their first pot of gold by relying on the movie city. What really made Shaw Brothers rich was the theater land under it. Now any theater is worth millions, and Shaw Brothers Film Company has dozens of them. The theater, plus the movie studio at Diamond Head, were the bulk of Shaw's assets.

This is also Shao Yifu's capital and confidence to sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

Therefore, it is difficult to defeat Shao Yifu.

He Jiahao found a deserted place to vent before returning to work in the company to prevent his emotions from affecting the employees' work.
