Chapter 208: Investing in the Emperor

"Seeing you holding the ball and making a layup, I couldn't even open my eyes when the needle was threaded..."

As night fell completely, it took ten minutes longer than expected to play the song of Twins above the Coliseum.

In the Harbor Plaza Hotel next to the Hong Kong Coliseum, Kaos also met Yang Shouchen. Although this old guy did not have a very good reputation, romantic affairs were not a thing for rich and powerful men.

Very common thing.

The same tidbits are sometimes a reflection of a man's ability.

And to be honest, Yang Shouchen's ability is very good. After going bankrupt at the age of forty, he can still rely on taking risks to recover all the lost property. This is not an easy task.

Therefore, Kaos was very kind to Yang Shouchen, but his attitude was mostly to talk to him about investing in the Emperor.

With the decline of the Hong Kong film industry after 2000, film companies closed down or stopped new projects one after another. Only a small number of film companies are still active in the market, including Emperor.

If what happened in 2008 hadn't ruined the image of artists in Emperor's blockbusters, Emperor would actually have a better future.

But in fact, even with Chen Guandong's incident, Emperor's subsequent development is still good, and he has participated in the investment and production of many movies.

This is also the reason why Kaos is willing to invest in Emperor. Compared with a completely American company as a background, investment in the mainland will be subject to some restrictions.

Emperor Entertainment, a Hong Kong company, will be much more flexible, especially since Kaos wants to invest in its parent company, Emperor Group, which will allow this company to better serve as a shell and get more for Kaos.

The right to speak within the circle.

Today's mainland market is not very well-funded, and future giants like Huayi Brothers only had a registered capital of two million before Kaos invested.

While Kaos was able to invest 500,000 yuan to acquire 10% of the shares, it was Wang and Xiaowang who invested another 4 million yuan in capital expansion to complete the deal. Otherwise, Huayi Brothers would have too much foreign capital.

It can be seen that it is not that Kaos does not want to enter boldly now, but due to restrictions, looking around the mainland entertainment industry that has just begun to develop, there is no partner with whom he can play.

On the other hand, the Xiangjiang area is much better. Although it is still not as good as Hollywood, at least it is large enough for children and can accommodate Kaos to invest in it.

The film and television industry is always a vanity fair wrapped in money. Whoever has enough capital can have more say in this market.

It is also because of this that in the first dozen years of the 21st century, relying on the abundant funds at hand, most of the mainland film market was joint venture films between Hong Kong and the mainland, and even TV dramas also occupied a large share.

People in the entire mainland entertainment industry are trying to find ways to get into the Hong Kong industry, because this is where there are the most job opportunities and the most generous salaries.

It was not until the economy took off completely, people became more interested in entertainment, and a large amount of mainland capital began to shift to the film and television industry that the situation fundamentally changed.

However, Kaos wants to take advantage of the current opportunity to get the right to speak in advance and stabilize the right to speak for the next ten years.

"I don't know what entity Mr. Kaos is planning to use to invest in Emperor."

Yang Shouchen was a little surprised that Kaos wanted to invest in the Emperor Group, but he had no intention of rejecting it. Naturally, Yang Shouchen also had considerations in this.

Today's Emperor is not a big company in Hong Kong. Although it has assets of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, it is still far behind the real plutocrats in Hong Kong. Even some gangs and gangs do not take him seriously.

If Kaos is willing to invest in the company, it will not only bring cash flow to the company and accelerate the company's investment and development, but more importantly, it will get support from the background.

To connect the Emperor with ordinary Hong Kong companies and truly enter the upper class society.

"main body?"

After hearing Yang Shouchen's inquiry, Kaos was silent for a moment, then raised his head and continued: "What do you think of Disney? How about a private placement of 10% of the stock for US$15 million."

Yang Shouchen is actually a bit conservative in the company. After the company went public, he firmly held 70% of the shares.

Even the shares of later generations have always remained above 50%. This is because he heard that Kaos wanted to buy shares, but he did not panic at all.

Similarly, because Kaos knew this situation, he did not have the idea of ​​acquiring shares from the stock market, but directly talked to Yang Shouchen in person.

After all, if you buy the circulating stocks at the top of the market yourself, it will only drive up the stock price, and it will be uneconomical for Yang Shouchen to think too much.

"Disney?"

Hearing Kaos's words, Yang Shouchen was a little surprised and confirmed again.

When he asked this question just now, he had this consideration in mind. After all, for listed companies, in addition to the growth in performance and profits, attracting an excellent strategic partner would also be huge good news.

In particular, Emperor has already developed in the entertainment industry and has business relationships with Hollywood giant Disney. With the advent of the new century, mainland artists continue to pour into the Hong Kong market, but actors in Hong Kong want to go to Hollywood to develop.

There is no sentiment of admiration for foreigners, it is purely driven by interests. Many Hong Kong superstars have skyrocketed in salary, but the market cannot bear their size. The Hong Kong film market itself is in the cold winter, and second- and third-tier Hong Kong artists

, you can also enter the mainland market and work hard.

But those first-tier or top superstars have no choice.

Just like Chen Long and Jet Li, the salary for a movie is at least tens of millions. Under such circumstances, not many crews in the mainland or Hong Kong can afford it. At this time, only Hollywood is the direction of their future development.

Otherwise, you can only choose to lower your own salary in order to have the opportunity to have a job.

But this is obviously unrealistic. Success after success can only increase the salary. There is no reason to lower the salary.

In addition to Chen Long and Jet Li, there are also many front-line artists. Although they also encounter the situation of not having a good job, they can only reduce their work as their only way when life is not worrying.

Now that the Emperor has announced that it has introduced Disney as a strategic partner, it is announcing to the entire market that we have established connections with Hollywood and may even be able to send some people to Hollywood in the future.

Under such temptation, Emperor will probably get a lot of benefits. If he can really send one or two people there, they don't have to play any big roles. As long as there are some scenes in the movie, it will be enough to attract many artists to sign contracts with Emperor.

.

Kaos looked at Yang Shouchen's expression and knew that he was very satisfied with the subject he gave. As for Yang Shouchen's considerations, they were also his considerations. After all, he wanted to rely on the Emperor to get the words in the circle.

In terms of power, naturally in addition to financial support, influence must also be considered.
