Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

After the food was over, Lin Shen thought of asking Tang Junlian something serious, about the film company.

“Mr. Tang, I have something to ask. If I want to open a film company in Hong Kong, is there any way? Lin Shen asked.

Tang Junlian was a little surprised and said,”Oh?” Why is Brother Lin interested in making movies?”

“No special reason, I just want to have fun. Lin Shen said lightly.

“There is no threshold. There are already many film companies in Xiangjiang, and there are also film companies that specialize in making salty and wet films, so in general, there is no need to find a way to make movies. But there are also many film companies that go bankrupt every year. Even Debao Films, run by Cheng Long’s elder brother Hong Dabao, closed its doors the year before last. Look at my Tomson Film Company, it’s not still open right now!”Tang Jun said

“”Farewell My Concubine” produced by Director Xu has been winning awards internationally. Lin Shen said

“What’s the use of winning awards? It doesn’t make money! Nowadays, a good movie is a movie that can attract everyone into the theater. Especially now that there are VCD players, everyone is willing to watch movies comfortably at home. Ordinary movies cannot attract everyone to the cinema.”Tang Jun said.

Lin Shen was confused. He didn’t expect that his VCD would cause Xiangjiang’s movies to go downhill?

“So, Brother Lin, if you really want to get involved in the film industry, you might as well directly acquire an existing film company or invest in others. Okay, just wait, I’ll call you now and ask.”Tang Junlian hooked his hand at Secretary Yang who was standing aside. Secretary Yang immediately handed the big brother to Tang Junlian.

Tang Junlian dialed a number, asked a few questions, and then hung up.

“Brother Lin, Huang Baiming’s Oriental movie that made”Happy Ghost” has been financially difficult recently, so you can participate. In addition, Du Qifeng, Wei Gahui and You Laihai who made”A Lang’s Story” The three of them are seeking investment and preparing to start a film company. In addition, there is another big shot who recently had the idea of forming a film company.”Tang Jun said

“Who?”Lin Shen asked, someone worthy of Tang Junlian’s betrayal must not be simple.

“Zhou Xingxing.”Tang Jun said

“oh?”Lin Shen thought about it. Indeed, in the past two years, Zhou Xingxing would establish two film companies in succession, including the one that would later produce”The King of Comedy”.》、《Shaolin Football” and”Kung Fu” and other Xinghui Film Company.

Lin Shen was thoughtful, thought for a while, and said,”Mr. Tang, I am very interested in Du Qifeng and Zhou Xingxing.””

“If Brother Lin is really interested, I can have someone contact them.”Tang Jun said

“OK. Trouble Mr. Tang. Lin Shen said

“It’s not in the way, it’s just a little effort.”Tang Junlian said very casually.

The two of them stopped eating and concentrated on talking about things.

Through the conversation with Tang Junlian, Lin Shen heard that Tang Junlian acquired another listed company in Xiangjiang this year.. Now Tang Junlian has four listed companies, including Tomson Group.

The market value of these four listed companies is naturally very large.

However, in order to acquire this company this year, Tang Junlian also After paying a high price, Tang Junlian’s cash flow was basically exhausted. This is normal. It will definitely cost money to acquire a listed company.

“Brother Lin, let me tell you, all the companies under your name can actually be listed in Xiangjiang. As for your HD hotpot chain company, it opened two more branches in Xiangjiang this year, right? Have you ever visited it yourself? There is a queue every day. Frankly speaking, the business is much hotter than that of this seafood restaurant. If your company is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, the stock price will definitely rise.”Tang Jun said.

HD Lao has indeed opened two more stores in Xiangjiang, one on Nathan Road and one in Causeway Bay, but Lin Shen has never visited it.

Now, HD Lao has opened a full store in Longguo. There are nearly thirty stores.

The expansion rate is not fast, but it is not too slow. However, Lin Shen knows that it is still early to go public! At least Lin Shen has no plans to go public now, unless he is not short of money.

Shen just wanted to make money.

The meal lasted until 9:30 in the evening, and there was not much food left on the table. Lin Shen originally wanted to pack it back, thinking that he was staying in a hotel and couldn’t heat it up. Forget it.

But Lin Shen packed up two butter crabs and planned to take them back to A Le and Guan Zhaohu to try.

…………

A few days later.

Secretary Yang called Lin Shen and said that they had contacted Du Qifeng and the three people. The other party was very happy to hear that someone was willing to invest in the three of them.

Lin Shen met Du Qifeng and the three of them.

These three people are all Hong Kong filmmakers. They are directors and screenwriters. They are all three extremely talented people. Especially Johnnie To, who has an extremely strong personal directing style and is a talented person. The three of them later produced many movies with good taste and good box office, so Lin Shen was naturally willing to invest in them.

Of course, Lin Shen did not embarrass the three of them and asked them how much money they needed. The three of them said that they needed 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Shen agreed without any hesitation. Lin Shen then obtained 35% of the shares of Galaxy Impression Film Company.

The three of them were quite happy. After all, Lin Shen paid so much money and the shares he asked for were not outrageous. However, this changed their impression of mainlanders. It turns out that mainlanders can be so rich.

Du Qifeng and the other three happily took the money and went back to prepare for the film company. Secretary Yang called Lin Shen again and said that Zhou Xingxing had also contacted him. The other party was promoting a new movie and it would only be available tomorrow night. Time to meet.

Lin Shen naturally had no objections, since he had plenty of time anyway.

On the night of the first day, Lin Shen invited Zhou Xingxing to his hotel.

Lin Shen was thinking about whether he should buy a villa in Xiangjiang. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to talk to people about work in a hotel room every day.
