Huang Yinglong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hated his mouth for always saying random things without thinking. Isn't Xiao Ran worthy of making rules? Every industry has rule makers. Xiao Ran, the most powerful person in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, if he can even do this
If you can't do it, it's obviously a travesty.
There was a little smile in Xiao Ran's eyes. He likes such straightforward people. Unfortunately, Huang Yinglong will obviously not be able to appear in Hong Kong in the future. He smiled lightly: "Mr. Huang, I don't like to embarrass others. Here are
With 10 million, you can go wherever you want. I think your experience is enough to start a business. As for your 40 million loan, I will take care of it."
Huang Yinglong was immediately shocked. He thought Xiao Ran was going to humiliate him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran was so strange that after chasing him away, he wanted to give him another ten million. He stared at Xiao Ran's eyes in disbelief, with the expression in his eyes
It's goodwill.
"Take it!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly. He really didn't want to hurt others, although sometimes it was always unavoidable: "Just transfer your company to Phantom within three days. Don't appear in Hong Kong within three years. Be good.
Live as if you are living for your wife and children."
Huang Yinglong took the check handed over by Xiao Ran with trembling hands and counted the zeros on it. He believed that it was true. Now his resentment towards Xiao Ran had completely disappeared. Although on the surface it seemed that Xiao Ran had ruined his career, but
It is very clear that Xiao Ran's proposal will not harm the companies. He only blames himself for being impulsive that day. Moreover, he is not ignorant of the rules in the circle. I am really grateful to Xiao Ran for leaving such a way for him to survive.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao!" Huang Yinglong bowed deeply to Xiao Ran. He thought that only in this way could he express his gratitude: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
Staring at Huang Yinglong's leaving back with interest, he thought that this was a pretty outstanding person, and he might be able to achieve certain results in other places. This transaction would definitely not do any harm to Xiao Ran. Liwei, this is not possible
Calculated in terms of money. Although this resulted in a debt of tens of millions, it was obviously not a big deal.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile after picking up the two reports and looking at them. Both reports were about Jiahe, one of which was given to him by Guan Xin, and the other was given to him by Lin Yongqiang. Thinking of this, he
I couldn't help but think of A Biao. A Biao had been sent to the mainland to do some work by him, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Lin Yongqiang still has to force out Guan Xin when it comes to business intelligence. Unless Xiao Ran is very targeted in asking Guan Xin and others to investigate, Lin Yongqiang still has a certain advantage. Xiao Ran smiled. In this way, he will not be afraid of being manipulated by the mainland government.
I've been playing a trick on intelligence.
Guan Xin's report was very simple and powerful, probably following the previous style. This report went straight to the point and mentioned that Zou Wenhuai had negotiated financing with a Japanese company three days ago. However, he did not know the specific figures and only analyzed
Zou Wenhuai's move was mainly to deal with the Phantom.
Lin Yongqiang's report was much clearer. In addition to the above, it also listed the amount of the funds as two billion, and obtained 30% of the equity. However, the money was not paid immediately, but first.
One billion will be taken out in the first period, and the rest will be invested within three months.
Xiao Ran finally couldn't help but sigh. Zou Wenhuai finally couldn't resist the pressure and opened fire on the phantom. He just didn't know what He Guanchang was thinking. In this case, he had to accept the challenge. However, what he had to admit was that
, Xiao Ran may have been secretly looking forward to Zou Wenhuai's actions. If Zou Wenhuai had not taken the initiative to seek financing from a consortium, Xiao Ran would definitely not have touched Jiahe.
"Come on, Zou Wenhuai, I hope you won't be too weak, so as not to follow Fang Ruohai's old path!" Xiao Ran murmured to himself, such internal fighting is really not what he wants to see. However, since Zou Wenhuai is making preparations
If he launched an attack, there would be no reason for him to sit down and wait for death.
Apart from overestimating one's own capabilities, what other words can be used to describe Jiahe's actions? Xiao Ran could not have imagined it, he really could not have imagined it. Now that Phantom One has no debts and two has not raised funds from the outside world, it is difficult for anyone to interfere with Phantom. Moreover, Phantom is in trouble within one day.
The liquidity that can be mobilized is at least 5 billion, which is much higher than the market value of Jiahe.
What Xiao Ran was hesitating about now was whether he should strike first and take advantage of the situation, or whether he should allow Jiahe to strike first and then defeat Jiahe after giving him the truth. In fact, for him, there was almost no difference between the two methods.
However, another day later, he received information again. However, this time the information was not as accurate as the last time. This time the information was very simple. Jiahe once again joined forces with Japan's Toei, which also invested 3 billion
Hong Kong dollars. However, as a result, the equity of many directors has been diluted. Even Zou Wenhuai himself only controls less than 40% of the equity.
Toei and another Japanese company called Shimoda each allocated 25% of the controlling stake. He Guanchang's equity was allocated to only 5%, and Cheng Long's equity, which was not very large in the first place, was even greater.
It's minimal.
When Xiao Ran heard Toei Shimoda's request to join forces to control Golden Harvest, he couldn't help but laugh. Toei had cooperated with Phantom before, but it was only in distribution, but Phantom later obtained the theater agency rights.
After that, he indirectly became an enemy.
The Japanese film industry has been coveting the Hong Kong film industry since last year. Toei has proposed investment and financing to Phantom Films several times, but unfortunately they have all been politely rejected. He feels that the Japanese are really a little clever.
The thought of controlling Golden Harvest in this way would cause trouble in the Hong Kong film industry.
However, this is obviously not as simple as imagined. Xiao Ran feels that this game is more and more interesting. Japan and South Korea are now the only countries in Asia that have not been completely conquered. This is especially true for Japan, where the Phantom has not even been conquered.
You can buy theaters there.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is getting closer, and that Toei and Shimoda have invested advance funds in Jiahe, Xiao Ran's mood is getting better and better. ATV is also preparing new programs, such as the Spring Festival Gala that imitates the Spring Festival Gala.
.The only difference is that this show mainly consists of comedy performances and singing.
It was a night very close to the Spring Festival. After Xiao Ran's family had dinner, his mother quietly pulled Xiao Ran aside and asked: "Son, when will I be able to hold my grandson? You have to work harder!"
Moreover, Qingxia is not young now, and it will not be easy to have children when she is older."
Xiao Ran was stunned. He had never thought about this problem before. He was not very old to begin with. If he had a son, would this be possible... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Don't worry, isn't it?
As a grandson, I will definitely give you one when the time comes!"
It was late at night, and both Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia returned to the room to rest. Lin Qingxia stood close to Xiao Ran and suddenly asked: "Do you like children?"
"I don't like it, children are very annoying!" Xiao Ran was calculating some work matters, and then replied, then he realized what he said, and quickly turned to stare at Lin Qingxia and hurriedly explained: "No, I just talked nonsense
, actually I like children very much!”
"I know!" Lin Qingxia fell silent. She really wanted to have a child, but Xiao Ran's casual words just now revealed her true thoughts, which made her very depressed.
Seeing that Lin Qingxia stopped talking, Xiao Ran immediately realized that what he just said must have caused harm to his wife, and quickly kissed her earlobe affectionately and said: "It's really not, don't think about it. If you want a child, then we will work hard to have one."
Just one!"
"It's okay, I don't like children very much!" Lin Qingxia didn't know what she was afraid of, or maybe she felt that something was missing, so she tried to change the topic: "Jiahe now has two powerful companies joining the company.
Can you really handle it?"
Xiao Ran stared blankly at his wife, who had a gloomy look on her face, knowing that she deliberately concealed her wishes out of concern for her own thoughts. At this time, Xiao Ran didn't know what to say.
Many people couldn't sleep that night, including Zou Wenhuai and his two Japanese friends. In fact, Zou Wenhuai's preferred financing target is Mitsubishi. After all, the cooperative relationship between Jiahe and Mitsubishi is not a matter of a day or two. But the Mitsubishi family has a big business, so it can't help but
Zou Wenhuai began to worry about his equity being usurped.
Therefore, the last time he secretly went to Japan was to contact a good partner. Fortunately, the first person he met was Dongying, and Dongying readily agreed to Zou Wenhuai’s conditions. Of course, Mr. Zou also knew
Toei has always had ambitions for the Hong Kong film market, but now he feels that Toei is far less scary than Phantom. At least in terms of strength, Toei is not much better than Golden Harvest.
Moreover, he also took a fancy to the company behind Toei with a market value of more than 10 billion. A considerable part of the 3 billion invested this time was invested by that company. Besides, Shimoda Company, strangely, this company
The company operates in industry, but it also plans to enter the film industry.
However, this obviously does not matter. The assets of this company are only more than 6 billion, and there is an investment fund behind it, and it is from Hong Kong. It must be difficult to have any impact. The most important thing is that Mr. Zou was taken over by the 3 billion
I'm impressed. If we get another three billion, it means that Jiahe has the absolute financial resources to expand overseas markets.
What needs to be understood is that Jiahe's liabilities account for a considerable part of its assets. Although its liquidity is quite large, it has not been used to invest in other industries. It has only been engaged in making movies. It would be strange if it did not die.
As a result, Mr. Zou was even more happy, thinking to himself, didn't Xiao Ran, a bastard, like to be paid? Then let's do it, now Jiahe has plenty of money. I thought so, but this plan still needs to be smoothed out.
The one who translated very clearly translated the words of the Shimoda Company representative: "Chairman Zou, are you sure your plan will be effective? As far as I know, Phantom is the company that monopolizes the market!"
"Mr. Teng Gang, please believe me, and believe in Jiahe!" Zou Wenhuai's confident and slow look is indeed very courageous, but courage and abjection are often just the same thing: "I have sent people to discuss with some big stars, we can do it at any time
Impact the Phantom’s status!”
Fortunately, Zou Wenhuai didn't let happiness burn his head. He only said that he could impact the status of the Phantom instead of driving away the Phantom. If he really said this, I'm afraid the Japanese would immediately leave. Who doesn't know what the Phantom is in Hong Kong now?
The status, the structure of the entire No. 1 entertainment empire, and Jiahe alone are definitely not qualified to defeat Phantom.
The only thing that makes Zou Wenhuai difficult is that Phantom has no debts, no loans, and no equity leakage. It is not easy for him to do anything to Phantom. And the movie is really not about playing to death, especially when
When the other party has sufficient financial resources.
The current Phantom gives Zou Wenhuai a feeling of being stuck, and he can't find a place to start. In fact, it's not him. It's not that Toei Company has never had the idea of Phantom. If Phantom is a listed company, or has raised funds
, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. But now Phantom is completely like a steel barrel, and karaoke bars are constantly making money for Phantom. This is not easy.
The most terrible thing is that the only thing that can hurt Phantom is Motivation, but Motivation has rarely participated in investments such as stocks in recent years, instead focusing on industry. The most painful thing is that Motivation itself rarely does more than ten years.
A big deal worth 100 million won't be able to touch Phantom's foundation at all.
Therefore, Zou Wenhuai knew very well that the only thing he could do was to try to restore Jiahe's reputation in the industry. In terms of distribution, he did not even dare to expect to win the distribution agency rights controlled by Phantom. He is not stupid. Phantom has tens of billions of assets.
It is completely my own, and it monopolizes most of the film industry. Everyone knows how to choose.
What he wants to do is to win over filmmakers and try to recruit outstanding filmmakers. However, most of the real top filmmakers are controlled by Phantom, and the remaining few are in the hands of Debao and Tianluo. This makes Zou Wenhuai
He hesitated for a moment. He didn't have enough time to train new people, and it was impossible to spend money to train new people like Phantom, regardless of losses.
Even if he is willing, the two major shareholder representatives next to him will never agree. Of course, he has other ways. He wants to enter Hollywood again. He failed before because of insufficient financial resources. Now that he has enough financial resources, he can naturally
It's time to do something in Hollywood.
He even thought of a plan. As long as he took over the Hollywood production company, he could immediately get a mortgage loan and then move to Europe. However, he didn't realize why he failed before. Because he used to focus only on investment.
Hollywood's share base for outside investors is particularly low. Unless you encounter a dead rat, it's hard for anyone to make big money.
And he didn't even realize why Xiao Ran wanted to stop outside Hollywood with such huge assets. In any case, he did have more experience than Xiao Ran in attacking Hollywood. This is unquestionable, and it may not be possible to succeed.
It can be known.
In any case, we can be sure that starting from the next day, the battle between Jiahe and Phantom will begin. Although Xiao Ran is unwilling to have such an infighting situation, he seems to have no choice...
