"That's basically it!" Wu Siyuan said all the words very quickly, then wiped his sweat and immediately forced a smile and said: "Today all the bosses of the five major companies are here. If you need anything, just ask
Let’s talk here and I won’t disturb you anymore!”
Seeing Wu Siyuan leaving the conference room and closing the door, the room immediately fell into silence. Wei Dongling was about to say something when Xiao Ran pressed his hand under the table. Wei Dongling immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant and sat down immediately
They were competing to see who had the best patience. At the same time, people from the other four major companies also did not move.
Half an hour later, the room was still the same as before, as if no one had moved their buttocks. Xiao Ran closed his eyes slightly, counting the passage of time, and guessing the plans and movements of the heads of the other four major companies.
I have to admire the people in this room, in such a stiff atmosphere, they can all sit like logs without moving. After about ten minutes, the first person who couldn't help it was Fang Ruohai.
Assistant. After a while, Yang Qi’s assistant also began to feel a little unable to sit still.
Fang Ruohai and Yang Qi both glared at their assistants. In such a situation, the one who takes the lead is the first to lose. He Guanchang's assistant is a middle-aged man who is very patient. Pan Disheng's assistant also couldn't sit still.
He stopped. Moreover, after Wei Dongling began to become unable to sit still at Xiao Ran's signal, the middle-aged man showed signs of exhaustion, which shows his good endurance.
Wei Dongling gradually understood what Xiao Ran meant. He wanted to test everyone's background in this secret competition. This may have a great impact on any future life-and-death battle.
If Wei Dongling is concerned about the assistants of the four major companies, then Xiao Ran is concerned about the performance of Pan Disheng and the others. However, he has no intention of winning in this competition. It is very difficult to preserve his strength and let the other four people think that he only has so much patience.
Wise decision.
After an hour, Yang Qi finally couldn't help but take out a cigarette and lit it. He was the first to lose. The second to lose was Xiao Ran, who had a rough understanding of the strength of each party.
Pan Disheng must be the next to move, followed by Fang Ruohai, and finally He Guanchang, the old gun.
As expected, as Xiao Ran expected, the sequence of the actions of the other three people was completely correct. Xiao Ran gradually smiled, thinking that he could probably guess what kind of aircraft the four major companies were working on. Jiahe was the most cunning, and recently
He was very afraid of Phantom, and this time he just wanted to take the opportunity to provoke a war between the Fang family and Xiao Ran, and then reap the benefits.
Jiahe has never thought about expanding its business outside of Asia. I am afraid that it does not even dare to think too much about Southeast Asia. It only wants to monopolize the Hong Kong market. Xiao Ran dare not say that he does not take Jiahe seriously, but he definitely does not regard Jiahe as a
It is a long-term rival, and a company with no enterprising spirit like this is simply not enough to withstand the Phantom's chariot.
Pan DiSheng made Xiao Ran pay attention to it, but this company has always lacked strong courage. Although its vitality can be very long, it is difficult to pose a threat. In Xiao Ran's judgment, if Pan DiSheng is willing to change its strategy, Debao still has great hope.
And Fang Ruohai is definitely a strong enemy. This person is very adventurous, and he is also cautious and calm. He is an enemy that Xiao Ran never dares to ignore. The only weakness is that Fang Ruohai is not very good at running industries. If it is investment, etc.,
Quite good at it.
As for Yang Qi, this is the only person Xiao Ran can't see through. Judging from Yang Qi's performance today, he must be the worst among them, and it is in line with Yang Qi's courage. However, Xiao Ran always feels that Yang Qi should not be
In this way, when they first met, Yang Qi was chased. However, Yang Qi never went to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but quietly collected evidence. A few months later, with the help of business success,
, and then pushed the business rival into prison.
Based on this, Xiao Ran could almost tell that Yang Qi was faking. However, he didn't understand why Yang Qi came back? Why he wanted to make a movie? Xiao Ran didn't believe that Yang Qi came back for revenge because of Yang Wei. Just kidding.
, if enemies can be made in this way, then Xiao Ran will have enemies all over the world.
Xiao Ran saw that everyone was moving, which confirmed his suspicion. He nodded to Wei Dongling and went out. This abnormal behavior surprised everyone present. He Guanchang and Pan Disheng thought Xiao Ran was going to ask them to accuse them.
You know, they had just signed an offensive and defensive alliance a month ago, and now they were sold like this. Xiao Ran didn't complain or be annoyed at all. That was weird.
After leaving the conference room and entering the elevator, Xiao Ran's face immediately darkened. The first thing he said to Wei Dongling was: "Immediately go all out to acquire all independent cinemas and art theaters in Hong Kong at all costs!"
"And..." Xiao Ran almost gritted his teeth and spat out each word: "Let the distribution department win the distribution agency rights for Japan and South Korea as soon as possible, and ask the marketing department to investigate the most powerful production company in Hong Kong in the shortest time.
company, and then let the investment department acquire it. The last thing is that the company’s liquidity must be at least 200 million!"
An Yuxuan hurriedly wrote down all this. Xiao Ran's expression clearly frightened the tall girl. Even Yang Guang and Monkey were surprised. They didn't know why Xiao Ran, who had always been cheerful and calm, suddenly became so cold.
However, things are not that easy. Fang Ruohai and Yang Qi seemed to have guessed what Xiao Ran was going to do. Most of the scattered movie theaters in Hong Kong were acquired. The Phantom Company spent a sky-high price of 40 million to acquire four movie theaters.
, barely managed to increase the number of cinemas under its chain to forty-one.
However, Princess Jin's number has increased to forty-nine, and there are six scattered movie theaters controlled by Yang Qi, which he has organized into a small art theater chain. Fang Ruohai and Yang Qi both seem to be imitating Xiao Ran's approach.
, the latter has a small art theater chain, and the former has also set up eight cinemas as a venue for the screening of literary and artistic films.
In terms of distribution agency, Xiao Ran still failed to win the two big markets of Japan and South Korea. The most terrible thing is that there are currently few powerful production companies in Hong Kong. However, Mak Dangxiong's studio was hired by Fang Ruohai.
It was acquired at a price of 50 million. The only good news is that the income from stocks and real estate has brought the company's liquidity to about 600 million. Plus the 200 million Xiao Ran has on hand, I believe it is enough to cope with any situation.
As soon as they returned to the company, Wei Dongling's secretary told them that Lei Kaitai and Xu could come to visit. Xiao Ran was immediately overjoyed. Now he thought he would soon know what happened. After seeing Lei Kaitai, Xiao Ran asked straight to the point.
: "Lao Lei, what on earth is going on?"
"I started talking about this a few days ago!" Lei Kaitai looked very tired. He took the wine from Wei Dongling and slowly told the story of the whole incident.
Lei Kaitai is the chairman of a listed company, and New Art City and the film studio are his private investments. Just the previous month, not long after Xiao Ran went to Macau to film, Lei Kaitai discovered that his company's stock was being used by funds of unknown origin.
acquisition, but it was too late for him to conduct a counter-acquisition at this time.
But after waiting for a long time, the person who had acquired at least more than 25% of the shares of Lei Kaitai Company did not show up until a few days ago. This person is Fang Ruohai, and Fang Ruohai's conditions are very simple.
He just wants Lei Kaitai to sell New Art City and the studio to him.
Just kidding, this is Lei Kaitai's way of making money. I don't know how much money I have made for Lei Kaitai in these years. However, the offer offered by Fang Ruohai was something he could not refuse. Lei Kaitai's funds were lost some time ago
The stock market crash had reduced a considerable amount, and the price offered by Fang Ruohai was something he couldn't refuse. Together with New Yibao Records and Golden Princess Cinema, the price was a full 800 million.
Lei Kaitai's entire net worth after the stock market crash was only the company's stocks worth more than one billion. How could he refuse? The most important thing is that Fang Ruohai clearly told him that the other major shareholders had already sided with the betrayal.
he.
After Lei Kaitai confirmed it, he knew that he had no choice. So, he chose to sell Xinyi City, Princess Jin and Xinyibao. After listening to Lei Kaitai's quiet words, everyone present felt the
The details in this must be very thrilling and thrilling.
Xiao Ran didn't blame Lei Kaitai. If he were in that position, he would probably have no choice but to surrender. He took a deep breath, and this time Fang Ruohai was determined to win: "Old Lei, what are your plans now?"
"What else can we do? With this fund, of course we must first eliminate the traitors inside!" Lei Kaitai cursed fiercely. Anyone facing the betrayal of a traitor would probably be the same.
"Actually, I have always wanted to cooperate with you. You are a talent!" Lei Kaitai seemed to feel that it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words: "No, you are a genius. Unfortunately, there are no opportunities for cooperation now, but I think morally
, I should still give you some explanation!"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and now he finally calmed down. He was not afraid of frontal attacks, nor was he afraid of conspiracy. He was just afraid that he didn't know what the enemy was doing. With Lei Kaitai's explanation, he thought he didn't need to worry at all: "Thank you.
You, now I know how to do it, we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"
Lei Kaitai glanced at Xu Ke, with a hint of conspiracy in his expression: "Aran, I know you have always admired Xu Ke and the others. Currently they are restricted by the contract and cannot expire. As long as you can persist for half a year,
They can almost come to your place!"
Xu Ke nodded to Xiao Ran and said: "Just be patient for a while. I can't direct that film anymore. Why don't you stop for a while and wait until I come. However, I think the best way is
If you go direct, I think you can even do better than me!"
"New Dragon Gate Inn"! Xiao Ran almost wanted to cry. He finally found a suitable drama for Lin Qingxia, but why did this mess happen? But Fang Ruohai would never let Xu Ke come over. Now it seems that the only way
It was him who directed it himself.
After talking about the specific matter, Xiao Ran sent them all away and was alone in the office. This matter was really a bastard to the extreme. Fang Ruohai was against him, but why did Yang Qi also seem to have such a deep hatred?
What about going against him? He was very confused.
There is no doubt that the current situation is the tragic situation of House of Flying Daggers. Xiao Ran cursed bitterly. It turned out that the word "House of Flying Daggers" reminded him of that damn movie. A movie ruined an eternity like this.
The idiom that exists everywhere is really devastating.
When Xiao Ran returned to the villa, Lin Qingxia had been waiting for him. Seeing Xiao Ran's unhappy expression, she suddenly said worriedly: "Fang Ruohai has taken over Xinyi City, what should we do now?"
This is also a question that Xiao Ran is considering. However, he doesn't want to take this matter home, so he smiles and comforts: "Don't worry, I can handle it. By the way, aren't you going back today?"
Lin Qingxia shrugged like Xiao Ran: "I heard the news today and was worried about you, so I came here to take a look!"
"Then don't you miss me?" Xiao Ran laughed strangely, rushed forward to hug her, and gave her a long and sweet kiss. After that, Lin Qingxia's face was full of happiness, she leaned against Xiao Ran and asked, "What about Fang Ruohai?"
Come on, aren’t your ideals and plans impossible to implement step by step?”
"Who said that?" Xiao Ran laughed loudly, and it was indeed a sincere smile: "There are advantages and disadvantages to him and Yang Qi coming. The disadvantage is that they join forces to suppress the Phantom. The advantage is that with the competition of people with financial resources and ability like them,
We can quickly eliminate local unqualified film companies and indirectly open up the Hong Kong film market. Isn't this what I have always wanted to do!"
"But aren't you worried at all? Fa Ge and Hong Gu both told me that this time, the four major companies will join forces to deal with you!" Fa Ge's friends in the industry are indeed too busy to stay away, so they came here
After the phone call, Lin Qingxia's expression was very worried. She didn't want to see the decadence like the last time Xiao Ran almost went bankrupt.
Xiao Ran smiled confidently. He was not worried about this at all. Don't forget that his purpose was not for money and career, but for Hong Kong films. The prototype of a competition model has been formed. As long as he continues to guide for a few years, Hong Kong films will
When the development reaches a limit, even if he doesn't take action, other companies will attack Hollywood.
This is the change that Xiao Ran has been trying to bring about. Even if he develops Phantom into the world's largest film empire, he may not be able to save Hong Kong films for long. The key issue is that Hong Kong film companies must have such a good operating structure and system.
, and now Xiao Ran is silently guiding the growth of the film company.
Didn't you see that both Jiahe and Debao gradually paid attention to screenwriters and scripts, and began to train screenwriters? Even Debao has begun to set up an artist training department like Phantom. In fact, the artist training department is basically a money-losing business, because the artists
Once they become popular, they must not limit their development. Sooner or later they will have to go solo.
The key supplementary income lies in the agent, and there is another income. Take Zhou Xingchi as an example. Before "The Gambler", Zhou's net worth was not much, but now it has risen to nearly 20.
Wan. And because Phantom Company has signed a contract with Zhou Xingchi, according to the contract, it can only pay the price before "The Gambler", not the price after.
*****
As the old saying goes, please vote for "The Legend of God of Gamblers", it needs everyone's votes even more!
