Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Is Xu Sheng really capable? He was able to borrow such a large amount of money from Zou Sheng." Luo Wei was surprised when he heard that. In the past two years, the movies he invested in had suffered losses and financial crises often occurred. Several times, he tried to borrow money from Zou Wenhuai. I tried to make some changes, but never succeeded. Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai would be willing to lend money to the young man in front of him.

Xu Zhidao: "It's nothing special, it's just a transaction."

Seeing that Xu Zhi refused to say more, Luo Wei asked, "I wonder if what Xu Sheng said last time counts?"

Of course Xu Zhi understood what it was and nodded: "Okay, you can help me meet Zou Wenhuai. According to our agreement, I can give you the film copyright of Jagged Talent, but only for 3 years. If you don't make the film within 3 years, , or if the filming is completed within 3 years, the authorization will end.”

Luo Wei frowned when he heard this and said, "Is three years too short?"

Xu Zhi laughed and said, "Three years is not enough to make a movie?"

Luo Wei said: "Of course you can make a movie in three years, but many times the filming is delayed due to various reasons, so I have to think more about it."

Xu Zhi smiled and did not expose him. In fact, it was just one word: no money.

After taking a sip of coffee, Xu Zhidao said: "What about borrowing Chen Long?"

Luo Wei said: "Aaron is our ace, Xu Sheng, look at it, how about 50,000 Hong Kong dollars?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Does Luo Sheng think I'm a fool? Although Chen Long has acted in many movies, they are all supporting roles. The recent movies with leading roles have also been hit by the public. I am willing to let him play the leading role. For him, It is also an opportunity. Luo Sheng must cherish it. If the movie is really a hit, it will benefit you even more! Let’s do this, 10,000, which is the highest price, and the subsidy should not be less. If you don’t like it, Then I will change the protagonist. I heard that there is a guy named Yuan Biao who can be considered a promising actor."

Luo Wei said unwillingly: "10,000 is a bit too little! Basically the audience in Xiangjiang knows Aaron's face."

"That's the price. If you don't agree, forget it." Xu Zhi shook his head and refused to give in at all. In fact, Chen Long has been called box office poison by the media this year. The current situation is that even if it is free, many directors are afraid to accept it. He is willing to pay all this money just for time, and there is really no income. Chen Long may not be willing to use his full strength when filming.

After a moment of silence, Luo Wei said: "Okay, but your movie must not have too dangerous actions."

"Okay, it's just a normal martial arts fight." Xu Zhi recalled that although there were many fighting parts in Drunken Fist, there didn't seem to be any too dangerous operations. These days, the most fearful thing is fighting at high places, and ordinary flat ground is A serious fight can break a bone, but falling from a height can be a big deal. In many fighting scenes, safety measures cannot be taken.

Luo Wei said: "Okay, I will go back and draw up a contract. When the agreement between you and Jiahe is finalized, I will sign it for you."

Xu Zhi stood up, shook hands and said, "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

After reaching a cooperation agreement, Luo Wei was also very happy. After paying for the coffee, he also gave a small tip. Then he sent Xu Zhi to the downstairs of his home.

When the car stopped, Luo Wei looked around and said, "Xu Sheng is really a very enterprising person. If it were me, the first thing I would do when I get the money is to change my place of residence."

Xu Zhidao: "This is also a good choice. House prices have begun to rise in the past two years. Taikoo Shing opened a few days ago. It is said that one account has been sold for tens of thousands of yuan. If Luo Sheng has some spare money, he can also buy one."

Luo Wei smiled and said, "As long as you have a house to live in, there is no point in buying too many."

In this era, many people still love to engage in industry. In Hong Kong, there are shipping tycoons represented by Pao Yugang, trade tycoons, film and television tycoons, textile electronics and other large factories. Business is flourishing, but not everyone is keen on it. In real estate speculation.

It's just that those who didn't speculate in real estate didn't do well in the end!

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, thank you Luo Sheng for sending me off."

The temperature in Xiangjiang in June is already quite high. Coupled with the hot and humid air formed by being close to the ocean, Xu Zhi, who had just climbed the stairs home, was already sweating profusely.

Xu Yaxin, who was still doing homework in the room, heard the door opening, turned around and saw Xu Zhi who was sweating profusely, and asked: "Brother, have you eaten?"

Xu Zhi opened his collar to blow the wind and turned on the air conditioner, saying, "I've already eaten. I just had some downstairs."

My parents are not at home, and since there is no one to cook, my sister usually eats something in the school cafeteria before coming back. Many middle schools in Xiangjiang have evening self-study sessions, and they can also eat in the cafeteria in the evening.

"Oh." Xu Yaxin responded and said, "I just received a call from Mingpao. They want to invite you to their newspaper office!"

Xu Zhi just took a change of clothes and a basin and was about to go in to take a bath. After hearing what his sister said, he stopped and said, "Did you say something?"

Xu Yaxin shook her head: "He didn't say anything, he just asked you to go there?"

Xu Zhi frowned, said nothing, walked into the kitchen, then into the bathroom, closed the curtain...

ten minutes later

Xu Zhiqing walked out refreshed. The day was not too hot. The air conditioner chilled the entire room in just a few minutes. After throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, he sat in front of the small sofa.

Xu Yaxin saw Xu Zhi coming over and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to Mingpao?"

Xu Zhidao: "Why should you go? If they ask me to go, I will go. Isn't that very shameful?"

Xu Yaxin said: "That's Ming Bao. Maybe Jim Yong wants to see you?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not interesting. Now I don't need to cooperate with Mingpao anymore, so why go to Pao?"

……………………….

Jiahe Headquarters

After Xu Zhi left, Zou Wenhuai thought for a long time. In fact, with his status and status, it is not difficult to open a newspaper. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong can do it. With a few million investment, a newspaper can be established.

But building a newspaper is one thing. If you want to do it well, you definitely can't succeed by having money. The famous Ta Kung Pao, Industrial and Commercial Daily, and Sing Tao Daily in Hong Kong took ten or even decades to develop. The special ones are Ming Pao and Oriental Daily. Everyone knows that Ming Pao relied on several novels by Jim Yong to grow, and Oriental Daily is even more special. Before the 1970s, the main service targets of major newspapers in Hong Kong were various office buildings and middle-income groups in Hong Kong. However, Oriental Daily took a different approach and served the poor with lower status. Moreover, the newspaper The content is exaggerated and has the purpose of sensationalizing. After nearly ten years of development, it has become one of the largest newspapers.

Unless they have new plans, latecomers will have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. Many well-established businessmen don't like Oriental Daily's tactics very much, and there is no room for discussion. The other party has already occupied the road, and it will be difficult for you to overtake.

Regarding establishing a newspaper, Zou Wenhuai had never thought about it before, but the conditions that came to his door now made him quite excited. His position in the film industry was already stable. If he could control a newspaper with excellent sales, not only would the financial returns be considerable, but the impact would also be huge. The strength is even more different. After all, although movies can spread awareness, they cannot directly criticize a policy or expose an incident like a TV newspaper.

He Guanchang took a document compiled by the lawyer, walked to Zou Wenhuai, sat down, and said, "Are you really planning to open this newspaper?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "I have no reason to disagree. Although I don't own all the shares, as long as the sales volume is good, the income from the newspaper alone can make back the money in one year. What's more, if you really want to get rid of this kid, there are many ways. , but he is also considered a talent, so he doesn’t need to do anything at first.”

He Guanchang smiled and said: "I have read the novel that guy brought over. It is indeed good. If the quality can be maintained in the future, the sales volume can still be guaranteed. Add in the advertising revenue, and the cost will be paid back in almost a year. It's just cheaper. This guy, one novel can earn such a high profit."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Actually, I prefer him to join our Jiahe. He is very knowledgeable, has strange ideas, and can write wonderful stories. As long as we train him for a few more years, maybe he can become the second Xu Guanwen."

Hearing Xu Guanwen, He Guanchang frowned and said: "Now Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao and others come to me every day to ask for money. They are really annoying!"

When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he also sighed and said, "Let's push it further. Cooperation between the company and Hollywood requires a lot of funds, which cannot be given to them for the time being."

He Guanchang nodded and said: "That's all. By the way, Xu Zhi also wants to make a movie. Do you know what the content is?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "I asked once, but he didn't say anything, and I couldn't ask further. But from the look on his face, it seems that this movie is more important than the newspaper office. I can't understand what this kid is thinking?"

He Guanchang smiled and said: "I estimate that the annual dividends from this newspaper stock are hundreds of thousands, which is more profitable than writing novels. I am afraid that more than half of the film companies in Hong Kong dare to say that they can achieve this income."

Zou Wenhuai looked at the darkening sky and said, "Ignore him or let him suffer some setbacks. Young people will never become stronger without experiencing failure. But we don't want to be evil people. The theater can make arrangements for him when the time comes. If the effect is good, add theaters, if not, remove it. No matter what the results are, when the time comes, you can represent Jiahe and invite him to join."

He Guanchang nodded and smiled: "Okay, if you put it that way, I'm still worried that if his movie is too good, we will have to pay a higher price."

Zou Wenhuai said: "If his movies are no matter how good they are, then we will keep him even more."

He Guanchang nodded and said: "Since this kid dares to borrow money to make a movie, his ambition must be quite big. I'm afraid that if he really succeeds, he will want to go solo!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Whoever has the ability doesn't want to be a boss. What can a boss do if he doesn't have any ambition? In fact, I hope that the people under me have this ambition. Since we were able to leave Shaw Brothers back then, they can also leave me." Jiahe.”

He Guanchang said: "Are you really so generous?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "Of course it's impossible, everyone in the world is like this. There is a story that goes well. A group of people are preparing to swim across a dangerous river to enjoy rich food on the other side. However, the food is always limited. My first thought when I went to the beach was that I wished everyone behind me would drown.

I am also an ordinary person, and naturally I am the same, but now it is no better than in the past. We Golden Harvest spent such a high price to control almost 40% of the theaters in Hong Kong. Shaw Brothers’ theaters do not accept other movies at all. How ambitious are these people? Da, even if it becomes independent, it will only continue to serve Jiahe. There is no longer any possibility of completely breaking away from control. "

He Guanchang sighed: "It's a pity that Li Xiaolong left early, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about Shaw Brothers today."

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and said: "Don't think too much about the past. In the past few days, find a lawyer to prepare all kinds of information. Then if you have time, go to see Xu Zhi in person and get to know him first.

Xu Zhi also suggested that we directly acquire a complete newspaper. I thought about it and it was possible. Before you leave in the morning, arrange for someone to check the newspaper and its owner's information to see if it can be acquired. "

He Guanchang said: "Okay, no problem, I'll leave first!"
