One hundred and ninetieth eight chapters each come up with a strange plan
The next day, as soon as Wei Dongling entered Xiao Ran's office, he saw Xiao Ran's sad face and couldn't help being shocked. Did another accident happen? When he came to Xiao Ran and asked, he realized that Xiao Ran was discussing whether to have a child or not.
concern.
Wei Dongling was startled and burst into laughter. Sometimes he really admired Xiao Ran. Facing such a war, he could still worry about such a thing. He clapped his hands happily: "Fortunately, I'm not married yet, otherwise
It’s going to be troublesome!”
"Don't do this, who doesn't know that you are pursuing Li Jiaxin!" Xiao Ran didn't even bother to raise his head. He even suspected that Wei Dongling clapped his hands to take pleasure in his misfortune. However, Wei Dongling's interesting things about Li Jiaxin were not just something he said casually.
Even the media revealed it: "When you get married, you will know how painful it is!"
"I'm different from you. I don't want children!" Wei Dongling looked very proud. He didn't know if he was proud of Li Jiaxin or something else: "Besides, what's so embarrassing about this? I really don't know how you can do it."
I think. Having children makes you feel like a family. Haven’t you seen Shaw Brothers’ “The Kid”?”
The content of that movie immediately came to Xiao Ran's mind. It was a movie starring Wan Ziliang and Xia Wenxi. The content was about a husband who suffered from the disease of oligospermia and ended up going to the United States to have artificial surgery in order to have a child.
After fertilization, the husband went crazy and doubted this and that all day long. The content was quite interesting.
"Damn, I knew you didn't mean what you said!" Xiao Ran sprayed Wei Dongling angrily. He didn't want to make a joke now. This trouble had been bothering him all night.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you some good news!" Wei Dongling's smile was really hateful. He found a sofa and sat down before telling Xiao Ran: "Dynamics has won Qingtian at a price of 8 billion.
The company’s absolute controlling stake, and at the same time, Fang Xiaoqiang has already taken 18% of Toei’s controlling stake, is the next step to launch an attack on Golden Harvest immediately?”
"Really? That's great!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but forget all his worries, wiped away the depressed look just now, and jumped up from the chair. What on earth does Qingtian Company do that can make Xiao Ran so happy?
It's very simple. Qingtian is the second largest shareholder of Toei, with a total of thirty-five controlling shareholders. In this way, if Phantom controls Qingtian and indirectly controls Toei, Toei will indirectly control Jiahe's
Equity. Although it took a lot of setbacks, it was finally successful.
Toei is one of the four largest distribution companies in Japan, and controls the agency rights of two or three theater lines. Xiao Ran selected this company as a bridgehead to enter Japan a long time ago, so he began to acquire its equity as early as last year.
, but the progress has always been slow. I didn’t expect that Dongying would take the initiative to throw himself into the trap this time. No wonder Xiao Ran smiled so weirdly.
Seeing Xiao Ran so excited, Wei Dongling couldn't help pouring cold water: "Don't forget, the company has spent tens of billions of funds for this acquisition. If Dynamic Karaoke hadn't been providing funds, I'm afraid the company would have immediately
You’ll get into trouble!”
Xiao Ran chuckled and comforted lightly: "Don't worry, there are still three billion in liquidity! And soon the power will probably be able to add more than one billion, and then there will be no worries about capital turnover problems!"
"But..." Wei Dongling was very depressed. Although Xiao Ran still didn't know much about business now, he was no longer in trouble in this regard. He originally wanted to intimidate Xiao Ran and give him a dangerous signal, but he didn't expect to be easily
It was resolved. He thought quickly and continued: "And, don't forget, Qingtian is definitely a burden and burden to us, it will only drag us down!"
"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, we only need to keep the core company, and all other subsidiaries and departments will be sold off!" Xiao Ran gave Wei Dongling a strange look. He didn't quite understand why Wei Dongling was so nervous: "Pick a few people and go there.
Check their assets and accounts, and split them up and sell them one month later. According to Dynamics’ calculations in advance, the acquisition of Qingtian can earn us about 600-700 million yuan!”
Wei Dongling was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. How could Xiao Ran be so proud and confident? Soon he thought of another flaw, a fatal flaw: "OK, your ultimate goal is still Jiahe, right?"
"Yes, but it's wrong!" Xiao Ran chuckled and explained: "This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I didn't expect Dongying to take the initiative to invest in Jiahe. I just planned to secretly let someone acquire its equity."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Toei would fall into the trap..." After saying this, Xiao Ran was in a very happy mood. Toei had long wanted to get involved in the Hong Kong film market. If it hadn't taken into account the industry rules, I'm afraid it would have done it long ago. Now there are
This retribution is really pleasant: "In this way, I not only indirectly control Toei, but also control Jiahe. This is killing two birds with one stone!"
"You are wrong!" Wei Dongling looked at Xiao Ran with a stern expression: "Dongying only controls twenty-five shares, which is ineffective in gaining absolute control of Jiahe!"
"Believe me, I am 100% sure about Jiahe!" Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words into Wei Dongling's ear.
Wei Dongling opened his eyes wide, as if he wished they could pop out of his head. After a long while, he exhaled: "I didn't expect you to have such a back-up plan. I believe we will win this time. However, this process must be very interesting!"
Whether it's interesting or not, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling can't predict it for the time being. However, something very unpleasant did happen to them the next day. Not long after Xiao Ran came to the office the next day, Liu Hua and Zhong Chuhong called him and clicked
One thing is clear - Jiahe made a bid to poach them yesterday.
It was a hopeless move to poach people again! Xiao Ran was annoyed for a while. Fortunately, under the temptation of Jiahe's high price, there were really not many people who were willing to fall for it, which made Xiao Ran feel very relieved.
Xiao Ran was originally interested in playing with Jiahe, but now he didn't like this feeling. He didn't want Jiahe to hinder any of Phantom's business, so he thought it was time to deal with Jiahe.
However, sometimes he still misses Fang Ruohai as his opponent. He has to admit that Fang Ruohai is a smart man, but he is not very lucky, and the time he chooses to go against Xiao Ran is also not good. This decisive battle with Jiahe is not good for him.
There is no suspense, because everything is already under control, and he likes to have a stronger opponent.
"The Gambler" has been in theaters for about 20 days, and the box office has accumulated to 28 million, and it will definitely exceed 30 million. And two days ago, "Die Hard" was also released, and this movie Xiao Ran
Originally he wanted to choose Li Lianjie, but later he finally let Liu Qingyun play the leading role. He wanted to use this example to tell people in the industry that you don't have to be handsome to have box office value.
The opening box office of "Die Hard" was not bad, because the audience for this film was not limited to the local area, but also included Europe, so the local flavor was not very strong. This also resulted in the film's opening box office not being as good as "The Gambler".
It only had a box office of 3 million at the premiere, and finally only took 30 million at the local box office. Fortunately, "The Gambler" was attacking the local market, and it barely won the Spring Festival box office championship.
However, the experiences of the two films in overseas markets are completely different. Although "The Gambler" has undergone as many adjustments as possible, it still only has a box office of more than 100 million in overseas markets. But "Die Hard" is different.
It has a box office of nearly 200 million in Europe, and if you include Asia, it will be a box office of 500 million. It can be seen that the effects are very different for different audiences.
However, that is what happened later, forget it for now, let us go back to the present and take a look. There is only one week left before the Spring Festival, how will Xiao Ran plan to kill Jiahe? This is a question, but it is obvious to Xiao Ran
no.
He quietly invited He Guanchang, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao to his home. Xiao Ran greeted them with a smile and invited them to drink refreshing drinks under the umbrella. He Guanchang and the others knew what Xiao Ran wanted.
He didn't mince words when he spoke: "Mr. Xiao, if you have anything to do, just say it!"
Xiao Ran glanced at the casually dressed people and fixed his gaze on He Guanchang. He also knew that if a few people were willing to come here, it meant that he still had a certain chance to capture them. Moreover, he knew that they were led by He Guanchang.
After all, He Guanchang made many correct decisions for them and maintained their current status.
Taking a sip of cold and clear water, Xiao Ran raised his head and looked up at the blue sky: "Uncle He, what I want is very simple. You know very well that Jiahe is deliberately messing with me now, and I don't like this!"
No one spoke. He Guanchang knew that Xiao Ran had not finished speaking. Otherwise, if he wanted to impress him with this, it would be a dream. Sure enough, Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his gaze from the clouds to He Guanchang's face: "You know what I want is not Hong Kong.
, but the whole world. If Jiahe always holds me back like this, it will indirectly disrupt my plans. And I will never allow anyone to break the rules of the game I have set!"
"Uncle He, have you ever thought about promoting Chinese films to the whole world and gaining a more respected status than Western films?" Xiao Ran's eyes were fixed on He Guanchang, and he wanted to convey his sincerity to the other party.
He Guanchang was slightly shocked. Now the whole industry knew about Xiao Ran's ambitions, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ran just wanted to promote Chinese movies. However, it seemed right when he thought about it. If Xiao Ran only wanted to make money, there was really no reason to increase the salary.
Actions like this will only reduce Phantom's interests.
"Brother Long, Brother Hong! Have you ever thought that one day you would be able to rely on the rise of Chinese-language movies and become one of the most famous movie stars in the world?" Xiao Ran's eyes moved to the faces of the other two people, revealing a faint smile.
The smile looks natural and harmonious.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao's hearts suddenly jumped. This is indeed what they have always longed for. The original films such as "The Killer" and "Cannonball Run" were made for the international market. Unfortunately, they almost completely failed.
However, they understand better that now they are very popular locally, but they are not as popular as Fat Brother in Southeast Asia, and they are not even as popular as any of the first-line actors under Phantom in Europe. This is not because they have no ability, but because
Golden Harvest is inferior to Phantom in every aspect.
"From the beginning, Golden Harvest's strategy was wrong. This is not how the international market can be obtained. It is not something that can be obtained by just one film company. It is a task that belongs to Hong Kong films and Chinese films as a whole. If Golden Harvest cannot do it, it does not mean that Phantom
It can't be done. But..." At this point, Xiao Ran strengthened his tone and said coldly: "I absolutely don't like anyone to do things behind my back. This is not just an attempt to destroy Phantom, but also an attempt to destroy the international status of Hong Kong films.
!”
Xiao Ran shut his mouth and stared at He Guanchang closely. As long as he nodded, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao would have no problem. He Guanchang hesitated for a moment. He was indeed no longer optimistic about Jiahe. Now, in order to win, Zou Wenhuai actually led the wolf into the house, even
It also gave 50% of the controlling interest, which was simply handing over Jiahe.
From Xiao Ran's words just now, he also heard that Xiao Ran's purpose was not to monopolize, but to have a safe rear to attack Hollywood. However, he was still hesitant. What if Xiao Ran went back on his word and monopolized the market? The most important thing is
What's more, he is reluctant to part with Jiahe, which he founded with his own hands. If it were to be ruined in his own hands, I'm afraid he would not feel at ease.
But, what other choices could he face now? Just looking at Xiao Ran's steady expression, He Guanchang was sure that Xiao Ran had a way to deal with Jiahe, and it was very possible that he could even bring the Jiahe Empire to the brink of collapse overnight.
For Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, they were reluctant to betray Jiahe like this. They both achieved career success because of Jiahe. If they left Jiahe like this, they would be afraid of being stabbed in the back in the future.
However, do they still have a choice in the current situation? Xiao Ran's kind face hides murderous intent. Not only He Guanchang, but also Cheng Long can see that Xiao Ran really wants to get rid of Jiahe this time.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry!" He Guanchang gritted his teeth and finally made a decision: "I still can't betray Jiahe, I would rather live or die with Jiahe!"
"But don't forget that Golden Harvest could have continued to exist as one of the four major film companies in Hong Kong." Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh. People in this era are all about loyalty. Thinking of this, he still looked at the three of them sternly:
"It was Zou Wenhuai who brought Jiahe to where he is today!"
"No matter what, I am from Jiahe. If I really want to lose to you, let's lose together!" He Guanchang looked gloomy, as if he had chosen to fail by himself.
Looking at the three people walking away, Xiao Ran sighed slightly, picked up the phone on the table and dialed the phone. While watching the three people disappear, he said in an extremely determined tone: "Let's do it tomorrow!"
