Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

Another week has passed.

Unlike every time he came to Hong Kong Island before, when he always received a large number of invitations from upper-class people, this time Fang Xiang did not receive any invitations.

In the eyes of Hong Kong's upper class, today's Great Wall Industries and Fang Xiang are in a state of self-degradation.

After being separated from its main real estate business, it actually went into the entertainment industry.

You know, in the eyes of many upper-class people and wealthy people, the entertainment industry is equivalent to a low-class business.

Even if you look glamorous in front of others, you can't be presentable.

However, this allowed Fang to spend a leisurely week.

Central, Great Wall Industrial Headquarters.

“According to your instructions, Professor, PolyGram has now agreed to our acquisition proposal.

It was sold to us at a 50% premium, and the price came to nearly HK$600 million.”

Yang Zhongwei held a document in his hand and looked at Fang Xiang with some trepidation.

“Well, I bought it.

Any more? "

Fang wanted to know what Yang Zhongwei was worried about. The price of 600 million Hong Kong dollars was far beyond the value of PolyGram.

On the contrary, buying it at such a high premium made Yang Zhongwei very worried that he would lose points in Fang Xiang's eyes.

After all, the results he achieved were not impressive at all, and were even quite unacceptable.

But Fang Xiang knew that the entire Hong Kong Island knew that Great Wall Industrial had tens of billions of cash.

Or convert it into foreign currency and deposit it into the state account.

Or, just acquire other companies in Hong Kong Island.

If we don’t slaughter such a good fat sheep now, when will we slaughter it?

Therefore, although such a high premium was somewhat beyond Fang Xiang's expectations, it was actually reasonable.

However, if all companies in Hong Kong Island respond to Great Wall Industrial's acquisition with such a high premium, then the original idea of ​​only spending 20 to 30 billion will be difficult to achieve.

“We also signed the artist you mentioned last time, Fat Gor. We paid him a signing fee of HK$2 million, and the length of his contract is 20% longer than other artists.

At the same time, he will receive a share of the profits from any future films he takes on at New Great Wall Pictures, and the details will be determined based on the film.”

Yang Zhongwei kept his head down while speaking this time.

In his opinion, this result is really not impressive.

"Any more?"

Fang Xiang nodded, without any change in his tone.

It's a premium, so be it. Chow Yun-fat's actual power and worth have not been shown yet. After A Better Tomorrow becomes a big hit next year, his salary will no less than 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now that he has signed the contract, although he won't save much on the film remuneration and will have to pay out an extra share, Fang Xiang doesn't mind that.

“There are other artists, including Guan Zhilin, Lin Qingxia, Wan Ziliang, Zhao Yazhi, and Lu Liangwei.

Oh, and there is also a TVB director, Du Qifeng."

When Yang Zhongwei heard Fang Xiang's question, he immediately picked up another document.

"Where are Qiu Guan and Deng Lijun?"

When Fang Xiang heard Yang Zhongwei mention Zhao Yazhi, he immediately thought of Qiu Guan. If he remembered correctly, they were also very popular in Southeast Asia in the 80s.

“Qiu Guan went to Wan Island to develop, and Deng Lijun is now in Xiao Ri Zi.

I heard that he won a newcomer award last year."

Hearing Fang Xiang's question, Yang Zhongwei immediately replied.

"Oh, didn't Chow Yun Fat, Zhao Yazhi and Ray Lui star in a TV series called Shanghai Bund? It was very popular, right?

You can talk to the film company and ask them to plan and make a movie.

Just let Chow Yun Fat and Zhao Yazhi perform with their original cast, and then pick out a few newly signed actors.

Screenwriters should be attentive, the plots should be exciting, and they should not be afraid to spend money.”

Fang Xiang pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the classic Shanghai, which was introduced to the mainland this year and is now being broadcast in full swing in the country.

It is no exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted.

Since these people have been received into his own film company, wouldn't it be perfect to release a movie version with the original crew, plus a few newly signed artists?

"No problem, I'll do it right away!

As the first film of the film company, I think this movie will be a big hit in Hong Kong Island!"

Yang Zhongwei immediately raised his head, his eyes shining.

“By the way, didn’t you also buy PolyGram and Huaxing?

Let them write a few theme songs and interludes and hand them over to their artists.”

Fang Xiang immediately remembered the classic song and gave another order.

"Okay, I've got that in mind. Is there anything else you want to tell me, Professor?"

Yang Zhongwei picked up the paper and pen in his hand and quickly wrote it down.

"No, how is the acquisition work going at the TV station?"

Fang Xiang pondered for a moment and felt that the entertainment industry was just a dessert, and more attention should be paid to the TV station.

Once the TV station acquisition business enters the substantive stage and we have initially mastered the ability to block news, we can then start acquisitions in the communications industry.

“Retail investors have already bought it out.

The TV station also had two rounds of contacts this week.

On the TVB side, the Shaw family still refuses to sell their shares, but on the Hong Kong government side, if we can offer a considerable purchase price, they will not hesitate to sell their shares.

Then there was ATV, whose bid was a bit high. . . ”

When Yang Zhongwei saw Fang Xiang mentioned the TV station, the excitement on his face disappeared again.

"How much?"

Fang Xiang pinched his chin.

As I said just now, this is the best time for Lion to ask for a high price if Great Wall Industrial wants to get shares from them.

It's impossible not to bleed.

If I had known earlier, I should have bought the TV station first. I miscalculated. . .

After all, no one expected Xinyi City to surrender so quickly, right?

“Basically the price has doubled.

If TVB and ATV want to acquire shares other than those of the Shaw family, it will probably cost 1 billion.”

Yang Zhongwei's voice was a little low.

According to previous estimates, the full value of TVB and ATV should not exceed 7 million yuan.

Now, the Shaw family basically owns half of TVB's shares. Not only can they not get all of it, but the price has also doubled.

"But there is another good news. Jiahe is also interested in selling."

Just when Fang was considering whether to take it down directly.

Yang Zhongwei mentioned it again.

"Jiahe? Are they planning to sell it too?"

Fang Xiang asked curiously.

"Yes, they asked someone to inquire a few days ago. If we are willing to pay twice the price, they are willing to sell it."

Yang Zhongwei also realized at this time that the current Great Wall Industrial was almost like a money-grubbing boy with huge amounts of funds.

"That means Cheng Long can also come along?"

Fang Xiang's eyes lit up.

"I think so, right? I never asked..."

Yang Zhongwei was stunned for a moment.

"Talk to them. If the Cheng and Hong classes come together, double the amount is double. Give it to them!"

Fang Xiang no longer hesitated.

Jackie Chan is the only Chinese who is recognized worldwide after Bruce Lee.

Now, let alone double the price, even if it’s five times the price, it would be a good deal!

"Twice... OK, I'll arrange for someone to contact them right away."

Yang Zhongwei had no idea what Fang Xiang was thinking at the moment. He was about to ask a question when he immediately remembered his identity.

He simply nodded in agreement.

“Over at the TV station, they should still have quite a few small shareholders, see if you can resolve the issue by dividing them up.

It is not necessary to pursue full acquisition, as long as absolute controlling rights are obtained.

The remaining shares will be dealt with slowly in the future. The mid-term goal is mainly to delist the company, and the full ownership will be regarded as a long-term goal. "

Fang Xiang paused for a moment, although he didn't mind spending a lot of money to acquire the TV station.

But the feeling of being ripped off is really not pleasant.

Although he knew that he would still make a profit even if he was ripped off, he still didn't want to let those people get away with it so easily.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

He gave Yang Zhongwei another instruction.

"Ok."

Yang Zhongwei quickly recorded it in the notebook in his hand.

“You don’t have to do these things yourself.

Just hand it over to the people below, and communicate more with CITIC and China Merchants Group and proceed simultaneously.

What you need to do is the next step.

We must be very careful about this matter and not let any news leak out!"

Now that things have been explained, we can proceed to the next stage of preparation.

Fang Xiang lowered his voice.
