Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 352 If it is this company, I will make an exception

Before the investment meeting started, Charlie Schweizer came leisurely and sat next to Li Jiankun and the others, and also brought a beautiful girl with him.

"Ah! Huishan, you are here too."

"I came here with my dad."

This girl's name is Ouyang Huishan, and she has some personal connections with Huang Yinzhu, friends in the same circle.

The two girls hadn't seen each other for a while, so they held hands and chatted. Charlie glanced at Li Jiankun and asked lightly: "Brother, what's your surname?"

"plum."

"plum?"

Charlie was slightly startled, and had to look at him again, confirming the information in his mind one by one, but it was not the same.

Besides, so what?
The most rebellious company in Hong Kong named Li, but the one in Deep Water Bay, took 25% of Jardine Matheson's shares and wanted to swallow up Wharf, but got cold feet and had to resell the knitted wedding dress to the chartered ship king. Only with the strength of the king did he win.

The Li family's business philosophy is: family members are not allowed to participate in the company's operations.

"How did you and Yin Zhu meet?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Charlie narrowed his eyes.Huang Yinzhu, who was standing next to him, noticed that the atmosphere was getting colder and turned his head and said, "Charlie, are you going to start work?"

"I can't do it, my little brother is here."

Swire is one of the four major foreign banks, so it is naturally inseparable from the banking industry. There is Swire Bank. According to Huang Yinzhu, Charlie's father is one of the main persons in charge, and he himself also serves in it.

In short, he is here to lend money today.

The richer a person is, the better they are at using bank money to make money.

The bank earns risk-free interest and everyone gets what they need.

Needless to say, the banks in Hong Kong City were so active in providing loans, which gave Li Jiankun an idea.

At this moment, my mind keeps diverging along this line of thought...

Sahar visited China in 1982.

The Hong Kong dollar crisis in 1983 reached the largest decline in history.

The Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984.

In 1985, panic selling of Hong Kong dollar assets triggered an economic crisis.

If you think about it reversely, these are all opportunities.

So how to seize these opportunities?

How to achieve the reverse operation?
First, he needs a lot of Hong Kong dollars, the more the better.

Although he doesn't have many Hong Kong dollars, the bank has plenty...

The investment meeting officially began. After a big boss from the Film and Television Association gave an opening speech, the heads of various film and television projects took the stage one after another to promote their own film and television works.

Spit and fly.

After the recommendation of each film and television project is completed, the interested investors on the spot will hold up their placards, and both parties will reach an agreement and sign an investment agreement on the spot.

high efficiency.

Huang Yinzhu bumped into Li Jiankun with her elbow from time to time, impatient. Seeing five or six projects passing by, you should do something!
It's not impossible to use bank money to invest in movies, but Li Jiankun still lacks interest.

In the same way, the return rate on investment in movies is too low. Wouldn’t it be better to use the money to do other things?
Another film and television project leader took the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am the representative of Centaline Pictures. The film we are recruiting for this time is called "Shaolin Temple", and the investment amount is HK$40..."

Hey!
There was an uproar underneath.

This is the first time!

Investors didn't expect this company to recruit investors.

Their background is not small, or rather special.

They are mainland state-owned enterprises.

The background of Zhongyuan Pictures comes from the left-wing films in Mainland China, also known as the emerging film movement. In the 30s and [-]s, they made many theme films in the mainland and were very successful. Later, they set their sights on the important ideological battlefield between China and the West - —Port City.

Three major film and television companies, "Great Wall", "Phoenix" and "Xinlian", were established.

In the 60s, the Hong Kong film and television industry had the "Four Big Companies" for Mandarin films and the "Four Big Companies" for Cantonese films.

Great Wall and Phoenix occupy two of the four major Chinese film companies, the other two being Shaw Brothers and MP&M.

Xinlian is one of the four major Cantonese film companies along with the local companies Kwangyi, China United and Overseas Chinese.

It was huge and brilliant for a while.

These three left-wing film and television companies have released many excellent works, such as "The Prodigal Son", "72 Tenants", "Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai", "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The True Story of Ah Q", "The Beauty", "Sea of ​​Clouds" "Jade Gong Yuan" and so on.

The ability to attract money is quite strong.

Only later, with the uproar on the mainland, the development of left-wing films in Hong Kong hit a bottleneck, and all directors and practitioners were recalled.

Who would have thought that they, who originally had a surplus of tens of millions of dollars, would be in such a miserable state now, with a mere HK$40 and having to openly solicit investment.

Great Wall and Xinlian also merged to form Centaline Pictures.Hug together for warmth.

"Our film will be shot in mainland China and will also be released in mainland China..."

Good guy!
After hearing this, the scene was filled with excitement.

All the investors’ eyes lit up, and they were all gearing up and couldn’t wait.

Some people have even raised their number plates above their heads.

If you don't vote, you'd be a fool!
Will be released in mainland China!

Mainland China has a population of one billion, and the market is astonishingly large!

To put it bluntly, there is no possibility of losing money if the film is turned into a pile of shit.

As long as it can catch your eye, you will definitely make a lot of money!
Li Jiankun sat on a chair with a dull expression. "Shaolin Temple" is looking for investment?

Isn't this a good comparison - the cake is smashed on the forehead!
You know, this movie, released in 1982, has a box office of 1.6 million yuan in the mainland with a ticket price of [-] cents.

What is this concept?
The box office in Hong Kong City seems to be close to 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

There are billions in Bangzi Country, and billions in Nibo Country—their money is worthless.

Seeing that he finally had some reaction, Huang Yinzhu hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is this film acceptable?"

This is nonsense, just look at the reaction from the front row.

"Yin Zhu, please take your time with this movie." At this time, a very discordant voice came from the side.

Huang Yinzhu had question marks on her forehead and looked at Charlie who was speaking.

Charlie explained: "This is a film that was scrapped once. The mainland guys tightened their belts and finally raised 200 million. The filming started last year. The filming was so poor that I couldn't even watch it. No, it was a temporary change. The director, looking for someone to reshoot, spent 40 in vain. He is so poor that he can't get the money, so he came here to recruit investors."

Li Jiankun looked sideways.

Huang Yinzhu looked at him cautiously.

Charlie's words were full of contempt for the poverty of the mainland.

"But, they have a broad market." Huang Yinzhu tried to warm up the atmosphere.

"Is it your turn? Who are we? Do you still want to earn money from their people?"

Charlie's words were quickly verified.

On the stage, the person in charge of Zhongyuan Pictures, after promoting the film's selling points, gritted his teeth and changed the subject.

"Thank you all investors for your support, but we have a condition for investing in this movie - mainland profits will not be included in the share..."

Appeal!
The crowd booed.

The investors who had been so excited just now were so excited that they were suddenly disappointed.

The leftist films in Hong Kong have been dormant for many years and are completely out of touch with the times. Looking at the few works they have produced in the past few years, such as "One Pound of Flesh", "Mud Children", "Happy Family"...

The box office is at the bottom every year, and it cannot make ends meet every year.

Unfortunately, I don't even have any underpants left.

The mainland box office is not included in the share, so why don't I play with you?
"Go on, go on, waste our feelings!"

"What are you doing? Why didn't you say this to begin with?"

"No sincerity at all!"

The investors below are talking all over the place and directly criticizing people.

A bunch of ghost guys are the loudest and arrogant.

"Get out! This is not a place for you to beg for food."

"You have a shitty brain and are you trying to play strategy with us?"

"Despicable and shameless yellow-skinned monkey!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Chinese people in the audience looked unhappy.

But most people are only fleeting, and a small number of people subconsciously clenched their fists, but they still don't have the courage to face the edge.

The representative of Zhongyuan Pictures sighed secretly, knowing that he could not continue. He picked up the speech and prepared to leave the stage with a slump.

"Wait a moment, I'll vote."

At this moment, a young man stood up from behind the crowd.

Ok?
The attention of the whole audience was instantly attracted, and everyone turned their heads. Those ghost guys obviously did not expect that anyone would dare to openly oppose them. Their expressions were not beautiful, and their eyes showed a warning.

The young man didn't care at all. He stood as straight as a pine tree and his waist was straight.

But there was a smile on his face, and he looked at the representative of Zhongyuan Pictures on the stage with a sense of respect.

What is the Central Plains?

Living in a colony, my heart is in the Central Plains!
