The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

In the blink of an eye, the day came for the release of "Five Lucky Stars".

Due to the good reputation of Yun Zhimeng's first five films, "The Five Lucky Stars" started to be full on the day it was released, and the box office directly exceeded 2 million on the first day, becoming the first movie in the history of Hong Kong to break the 2 million box office on the first day.

Xiangjiang newspapers rushed to report on this grand event, which gave "Five Lucky Stars" better publicity. The box office on the third day reached 7 million.

Ho Ka-Hao doesn't care much about this, because the possibility of this movie's box office exceeding 50 million yuan is very low. As for 20 million, "God of Gamblers" years ago already reached 26 million at the box office.

Qin Haiming's whole body was floating, his legs were crossed on the desk, and he was cracking melon seeds in his mouth, looking like he was in need of a beating.

Huo Jianning looked at this guy and couldn't help laughing, "Boss, aren't you going to do something?"

He Jiahao shook his head and said, "For the sake of helping me manage Taoda Food, let's put up with him for a while. Let's talk about it later."

"The Feng family that controls Kwong Sang Bank has told the outside world that we are not welcome to join the board of directors. They also said that we are a hostile takeover. The current remarks are very unfavorable to us." After Huo Jianning finished laughing at Qin Haiming, he started to get down to business.

He Jiahao sneered and said disdainfully, "A group of pigs know they can't beat the wolf, so they just want to be reasonable. If this works, wouldn't it be chaos in Xiangjiang? Ignore him, according to the company law, we can send at least 3 directors to the board of directors. If we don't give If so, go to court and sue them.”

"Has the boss decided who to send over?" Huo Jianning knew that anyone who went over would be targeted by Feng.

He Jiahao smiled sinisterly and said, "Of course I will send three assassins to mess up the board of directors of Guang Sang Bank. I won't have a good time, and they won't have a good time either."

Seeing the boss's appearance, Qin Haiming quickly corrected his attitude and sat down on the chair.

"Thornhead? We have a few candidates on hand, but we lack a leader." Huo Jianning glanced at Qin Haiming. It was obvious that he wanted Qin Haiming to be the leader.

"Then let A Ming be the leader and participate in the board of directors. Whatever Feng agrees with, we will oppose whatever is ugly." He Jiahao said angrily.

Qin Haiming took a sip of water and said hesitantly, "Boss, can I not go? I am also quite famous in the film industry."

He Jiahao put down the documents and said earnestly to Qin Haiming, "A Ming, Mr. Feng from Guangsheng Bank has slapped me in the face. Do you think you, my younger brother, should remain indifferent?"

"Boss, I have a more suitable candidate than me." Qin Haiming quickly stated his reasons.

"How are you? Are you reliable?" He Jiahao asked in a deep voice. He couldn't be careless in this matter, otherwise he would be making a fool of himself.

Qin Haiming also understood that this was a matter of everyone's face, "Reliable, he is my former brother, I know him very well."

"I need someone who is heavy and can hold down the scene. If Feng takes over and doesn't allow me to replace him, it will be a joke." He Jiahao said very seriously.

"Okay, let me go, it's safer." Qin Haiming finally gave in.

Then, He Jiahao and Huo Jianning looked at each other and laughed together.

When he lowered his head, he discovered the headline on the newspaper, 'Far East Bank sues Wan Guo Baotong Bank for breach of contract! ’

In 1965, a bank run wave occurred in Hong Kong, and Far East Bank's branch offices in the New Territories were also frequently in crisis. Although Far East Bank Chairman Qiu Degen personally persuaded customers, it was to no avail. Far East Bank was also severely damaged as a result, and it survived until 1969. Qiu Degen They had no choice but to transfer 76% of Far East Bank's shares to Wanguo Baotong Bank. Even though the mortgaged property returned to the Qiu family, it could not hide the fact that 'Far East Bank does not belong to the Qiu family'.

Although Qiu Degen only holds 24% of the shares of Far East Bank, he still believes that Far East Bank is a family business, so the conflicts between the two parties are getting deeper and deeper. In the mid-1970s, Wanguo Baotong Bank proposed a series of plans to reform Far East Bank. What annoyed Qiu Degen the most was the restructuring of Far East Bank's senior personnel, so he took Wanguo Baotong Bank to court this year.

And He Jiahao knew that this lawsuit would last for four years. In the end, it was Qiu Degen who brought down IWC Bank and successfully regained control of Far East Bank.

In He Jiahao's view, neither party is a good bird. Wan Guo Baotong Bank wanted to swallow up Far East Bank, but ignored the contract. Qiu Degen received assistance from Wan Guo Baotong Bank in times of crisis, but he was not grateful. When you gain strength, you want to take it back, but no one is happy about it. They think that others are like urinals and will be thrown away after use.

In the 1980s, the banking industry was in turmoil again. After escaping the catastrophe of the 1960s, they were capsized again. Qiu Degen once again found two major foreign banks - China National Bank Asia and Huamei International, but he did not want China National Bank Asia to take advantage of Qiu's financial crisis. , directly grabbed 65% of the shares and controlled Far East Bank. Qiu Degen became the second shareholder and lost Far East Bank.

However, the Qiu family has businesses in hotels, real estate, entertainment, and communication industries. They just lost the Far East Bank, which they had worked hard for many years.

The reason why Ho Jiahao paid attention to Qiu Degen was that in 1983, Qiu Degen would take over Lai's TV station and rename it Asia Television, and Zhou Liangshuyi worked under his banner.

He Jiahao didn't feel much about Li's TV station. Before the 21st century, the TV station could make a lot of money, and its influence was even more terrifying. However, the initial investment was not small. Zhou Liang Shuyi in her previous life lost 33% in a few years. Hundreds of millions is an example.

When Huo Jianning saw He Jiahao's eyes on that report, he had some bad premonitions, fearing that the boss would just plunge into the banking industry, which was an industry that eats people without spitting out their bones.

"Boss, the banking industry is not very good recently."

Hearing this, He Jiahao just smiled and said, "Compared to the banking industry, Qiu Degen is more interesting."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jianning understood that the boss was not very interested in the banking industry, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

etc!

Universal Bank. It seems that after September, there will be this opportunity to make a lot of money.

He Jiahao suddenly remembered that from September to November, the yen appreciated significantly due to the impact of US inflation, and it seemed that it would appreciate to the point where 170 yen was exchanged for one dollar.

The box office of "Five Lucky Stars" kept the theaters full for the next few days. On the 8th day, the box office had exceeded 10 million, causing the stock of its Huamei Real Estate Company to rise by nearly 0.5 yuan.

Ho Jiahao feels that the box office of this comedy movie can reach a record of 40 million, becoming the box office champion of Hong Kong. You must know that in the previous life of the 21st century, there were only a few movies with a box office of over 50 million. The box office of over 40 million in 1978 is a miracle. .

The script for the next movie has been given to Qin Haiming, which is "A Better Tomorrow" and is directed by Yusen Wu. It is the pinnacle of violent aesthetics and the box office will definitely not be less than 25 million.

Ho Ka-ho has great hopes for this movie and hopes that this movie will open up a new path for the Hong Kong film industry.
