   "Shocking news: An earthquake-level transaction, Black and White Image acquired Golden Harvest Films!"--"True News"!

  "An acquisition that changed the industry structure, Black and White Image acquired Golden Harvest Film Industry!"--"Oriental Daily"

   "Chu Huan, the number one person in the Xiangjiang film industry!"--"Sing Tao Daily"!

  When the news of Black & White Image's acquisition of Golden Harvest Films came out, it immediately became the headlines of the major media newspapers in Hong Kong.

   "I can't accept it, Chu Huan has been silent for more than half a year, but he made another move and bought Golden Harvest Films?"

   "Tell me, how much did Chu Huan spend to acquire Golden Harvest Films this time? The newspaper didn't say the exact amount. I'm so anxious!"

   "At least say more than one hundred million, right? That's Golden Harvest!"

   "Where did Chu Huan get so much money? Didn't it mean that it will soon be time for Hang Lung Properties to pay Hongkong Land the final payment for the Golden Gate Building?"

   "Didn't you read the newspaper saying that youth toys are going crazy, and Chu Huan must be making crazy money this time!"

   "Then do you know how much youth toys are sold for?"

   "Then who knows, youth toys are not on the market, who knows how much they can sell for!"

Regarding this kind of discussion, people are discussing it in various crowded places in Xiangjiang, and the topic of their discussion has gradually changed from the acquisition of Golden Harvest Films by Black and White Video to how much money Chu Huan has. Something is up.

   There are also some people related to Chu Huan who are also discussing this matter.

  Feng Building, Chairman's Office!

  Feng Hanzhu, Feng Muying, Feng Guojing, and Feng Guolun sat around together, also discussing this matter.

   "Did you find out how much money Chu Huan spent to acquire Golden Harvest Films?" Feng Hanzhu asked with a neither sad nor happy expression.

  Feng Guojing shook his head, and said: "The only ones who know the insider price are the lawyers, except for their few clients, who have not found out.

  But according to estimates, it should be more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars! "

"100 million Hong Kong dollars!" Feng Hanzhu couldn't help but wryly smiled. When they were still happy and doubtful about the 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Chu Huan had already spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Golden Harvest Films !

   "How about Hongkong Land and Hang Lung, have the final payment transactions between the two parties been settled?"

  Feng Hanzhu couldn't help asking.

Feng Guojing said: "I talked to Michael Keswick about this. They have sent a notice to Hang Lung Properties before, and Hang Lung Properties has also responded, saying that they will settle the final payment on the 15th, which is tomorrow. !"

  Feng Muying said in shock: "This is 230 million Hong Kong dollars. If you add more than 100 million from Golden Harvest, it will be almost 400 million. Where did Chu Huan get so much money?"

Although Lifeng Toys and Chu Huan's Youth Toys have been fighting openly and secretly, what Lifeng Toys knows is only the sales of Youth Toys in Hong Kong, and they have only heard about the sales of Youth Toys in other cities, and have no specific information. data.

   Not to mention the 1970s, it was the time when Chu Huan was reborn. As long as such companies were not listed, no one knew their specific sales situation.

  Feng Guolun said: "However, this incident also proves another thing, that is, Chu Huan is really like what all of us thought, and he still held a huge sum of money that we didn't know before!"

  Feng Guojing said: "No matter how huge the amount is, it should be countable. I don't think Chu Huan will have much cash in his hand if he spends more than 300 million in cash at one time!"

What Feng Guojing said made the other three people at the scene agree and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. Before that, they had been worried that Chu Huan would attack them through the story of Li & Fung Group, but looking at the situation now, Chu Huan has no such possibility .

   "If Chu Huan still has the ability to attack our Li & Fung Group after spending more than 300 million yuan in cash, then I will simply give Li & Fung Group to him!"

  Feng Hanzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Then he looked at Feng Guolun and asked, "How about the investigation about that European company?"

Feng Guolun said: "Our people have already arrived in England, and they learned that it is a newly established company. There were no orders before. The order with our company is the first big business. As for their background, we still have to know Did not investigate clearly!"

  Feng Hanzhu fell into silence. How about Chu Huan, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Feng Hanzhu is most concerned about the batch of ready-made clothing orders.

  "New company?" After pondering for a moment, Feng Hanzhu said worriedly: "How much advance payment is the other party going to pay?"

  Feng Guolun said: "50 million, more than the 30% advance payment of the industry rules, very sincere."

   "The more sincere I am, the more worried I am. This amount of money is not a small amount. If there is a problem, even our company will not be able to handle it!"

  Commercial frauds are emerging one after another, Feng Hanzhu has to think more, especially if the other party is a European company, even if it is a lawsuit in the end, it will be very troublesome.

  Feng Guolun said: "Daddy, I still think this business can be done. If we always look forward and backward every time we do business, then we really don't need to do any business."

Feng Hanzhu said: "It must be done, but we can't do it unprepared. We must not only consider the company in Europe, but also consider the garment company in Xiangjiang. They can take over this business." An order?"

   You must know that if this order cannot be completed, they will have to pay three times the liquidated damages. If this is the case, Li & Fung Group will be finished!

   At this time, the market value of the entire Li & Fung Group is only 350 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Feng Guolun said: "I have already contacted some garment factories in Xiangjiang. According to the volume of garment production in Xiangjiang, an order of 100 million is not a problem!"

Feng Hanzhu still can't fully believe in this order. An order of 100 million cannot be completed by a garment factory in Xiangjiang, but needs to be completed by many garment factories in Xiangjiang. Accept the other party's contract of three times the liquidated damages, but these garment factories in Xiangjiang are definitely not acceptable.

  So if something goes wrong with this order, Li & Fung will still be the one who suffers.

Seeing that Feng Hanzhu still couldn't make a decision, Feng Guolun couldn't help but said: "Daddy, it is impossible for Chu Huan to have any more cash in his hands now. This is the best time for our development. If we miss it, we will only have money." Let our other opponents benefit, and the situation of our Li & Fung Group will be even more dangerous at that time."

  Feng Hanzhu pondered for a while, and said: "Let's formally start contract negotiations with the other party's representative!"

  Hearing what Feng Hanzhu said, Feng Guolun finally smiled and said, "Understood!"

  Shaw Brothers, Clear Water Bay Studio, inside Yifu Shao's office!

   "You persisted for a day?"

  Shao Yifu had already thought that Golden Harvest would lose, but he never thought that Golden Harvest would lose so quickly.

Fang Yihua analyzed: "This is Zou Wenhuai and the others looking for death. A bad movie made them blow up the sky. At the midnight show, some movie fans beat Longgang, but it turned out that Golden Harvest spent so much money yesterday. Bragging about the movie "Double Dragon Going to Sea" is not courting death!"

Shao Yifu looked at Fang Yihua with a chuckle, and asked aloud: "Do you think that Zou Wenhuai and the others ordered the content in the newspaper yesterday noon? Then you underestimate Zou Wenhuai. The content of the newspaper in the morning can be It is said to be a normal movie promotion, but the content at noon is obviously promoting the movie "Double Dragon Going to Sea", and Zou Wenhuai will not be ignorant of the consequences."

  Fang Yihua was stunned, "Is it Jiahe or who?"

  Shao Yifu smiled: "Whoever benefits the most from this matter will naturally be who?"

   "Sixth brother, do you mean Chu Huan?" Fang Yihua couldn't believe it, and finally couldn't help saying: "If that's the case, isn't Chu Huan too bad?"

"Business has always been a battleground of life and death!" Shao Yifu said nonchalantly: "If it were me, if I had such a chance to win Jiahe, I would do it too, and now I suspect that not only those in the newspapers The content is that those who caused trouble at the Golden Harvest Cinema were all arranged by Chu Huan!"

  Fang Yihua didn't know what to say, and in the end she could only sigh: "I should have told Zou Wenhuai about this earlier. In that case, Zou Wenhuai would never have sold Jiahe to Chu Huan!"

  Shao Yifu glanced at Fang Yihua with some disappointment, and said calmly: "Do you think Zou Wenhuai doesn't know about this?"

  Fang Yihua didn't notice Shao Yifu's disappointment, but continued to ask in puzzlement: "If he knew, why did he sell Jiahe to Chu Huan?"

  Because it is not sold to Chu Huan, no one will be able to take over Golden Harvest, and no matter what time it is, there will be a rich man in Xiangjiang who is free to spend more than 100 million in cash to buy Golden Harvest?

  If the exchange of shares is not what Zou Wenhuai wants, he only wants to use the cash to develop in Hollywood.

As for the spin-off sale, there is no need to think about it. There are indeed some film companies in Xiangjiang that can buy part of Golden Harvest's assets, but this is bound to be a long process, and it is not acceptable to Golden Harvest. Everyone in the film industry knew that Chu Huan was bound to win Golden Harvest. Who would dare to offend Chu Huan and buy Golden Harvest at this time?

   After the split, Golden Harvest no longer has the capital to fight against Chu Huan's black and white images.

   "By the way, Sixth Brother!" Fang Yihua suddenly said to Chu Shaoyifu at this time: "Just now Black and White Video called, saying that they want to jointly block the director of Longgang!"

After listening to this, Shao Yifu immediately said: "It's good to block, even if the black and white images don't want to be blocked, I want to block it. I really thought I made a few blockbuster movies, but I don't know where I want to show them. Compassionate heart? I just don't know what to say!"

  Shao Yifu also talked about the filming of "Hiroshima 28" by Longgang.

You must know that Shao Yifu was caught by Japanese soldiers when he was in Nanyang. If it was not lucky, there were Japanese among his employees before, who helped him escape that disaster. It is not certain whether there is Xiangjiang Shao Yifu now. up.

  So Yifu Shao doesn't have a good impression of Japan, except when he is earning Japanese money!

  Fang Yihua naturally knew Shao Yifu's mood, and said: "Then let's make an announcement now!"

  Shao Yifu nodded.

  People sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven!

  At least Longgang thinks so.

Longgang also saw the content in the newspaper this morning. At that time, Longgang planned to go to Golden Harvest to ask about the box office of his movie after breakfast, but he saw it published in the newspaper before the porridge was in his mouth. For the content, Golden Harvest was acquired by Black and White Video.

   Longgang, who hadn't recovered from the news, received a call from Golden Harvest, saying that his movie "Double Dragons Going to Sea" has been fully withdrawn from Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Xu Guanwen's "Ghost Horse Double Star" will be screened instead.

Long Gang, who received this notice, couldn't accept it, "Why? Why? What is Xu Guanwen's "Ghost and Horse Double Star"? It's just a gag comedy. How can it compare with my movie? There are still some, I believe everyone will understand the benefits of my movie!"

  Why?

  The Golden Harvest staff on the phone said calmly: "First of all, Golden Harvest has been fully acquired by Black and White Video, and it is no longer up to Golden Harvest to decide what kind of movie Golden Harvest Cinemas wants to show.

  In addition, according to the performance of the two films on the premiere day yesterday, the box office of "Ghost and Horse" was 1.82 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and the box office of "Double Dragon Going to Sea" was 30,000 Hong Kong dollars! "

  Why is the box office of "Double Dragon Going to Sea" so low?

Naturally, it was because of the smashing of the movie theater that happened yesterday. All the audience who wanted to watch this movie knew about it. Naturally, no one would be in the mood to watch such a smashing movie that would make all the audience angry. Movie theaters are out.

   Golden Harvest Cinemas has been processing ticket refunds throughout the afternoon!

  Long Gang was stunned, and finally roared: "The audience doesn't understand me!"

   Regarding Longgang's reaction, Golden Harvest's staff didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.

   Just when Long Gang was still complaining about the Hong Kong audience not understanding him, Long Gang received a call from Xie Xian.

   "Longgang, what did you do, how did you offend the black and white image?"

   Long Gang, who was in a bad mood, directly said angrily: "When did I offend the black and white image, it is obviously the black and white image that is targeting me!"

Even with the box office on the first day, Longgang still doesn't think it's his own movie's problem, but the black and white images are aimed at him. His movie needs to be calmed down and slowly appreciated, that is to say, his movie is It has stamina, but now that Black and White Image has acquired Golden Harvest, it has directly drawn its own movie.

   This is beating yourself up!

  Xie Xian thought that Long Gang already knew what he said: "Long Gang, you should quickly think of a way to remedy this matter, otherwise your film career will be completely over in the future!"

  Long Gang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xie Xian was talking about the failure of a movie and sentenced himself to death, and immediately said: "Hmph, don't worry, I will definitely make the black and white images regret it in the next movie!"

   "The next movie?" Xie Xian felt that Long Gang might have misunderstood himself, and said directly: "Do you still not know what I'm talking about?"

  Long Gang froze for a moment, and said, "Aren't you talking about our movie being drawn in black and white?"

  Xie Xian said directly: "Is this matter still a matter compared with your matter?"

   "What about me?" Long Gang asked suspiciously.

Xie Xian said directly: "Just now Black and White Image and Shaw Brothers jointly announced that all film companies in Xiangjiang are prohibited from using you to shoot any movies. If any company uses you, this company will not be allowed to use you. The Tseung Kwan O studio that uses black and white images, Golden Harvest’s Cathay Pacific studio, and Shaw’s Clear Water Bay studio. At the same time, the films of this film company will also be screened in Shanhai Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Shaw Cinemas. In addition, the cooperation with other channels will also be terminated!

   To put it simply, you have been blocked by Black and White Video and Shaw Brothers, and my film company has been notified! "

  Before this, although Longgang had always been a freelance director, he mostly cooperated with Xie Xian's Xie Brothers Films, so Xie Xian was the first to receive the notice.

   Then Xie Xian told Long Gang about this.

   This also corresponds to the sentence just now, people sit at home, and disaster comes from the sky!

  Longgang sat there blankly holding the phone, was he blocked?

   Was blocked like Luo Wei!

  Then what should I do in the future?

  Xie Xian held the phone, didn't hear Long Gang's voice, sighed, and hung up the phone directly.

  Deng Guangrong sat on the sofa at Xie Xian's house and asked Xie Xian, "What did Director Long say?"

   Xie Xian sighed and said: "What else can I say, let him figure out a way for himself, we can't get in the way of this matter!"

  Deng Guangrong said indifferently: "This Chu Huan is too domineering. He will block whoever he says is banned? Even veteran directors like Longgang are like this?"

  Xie Xian's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said to Deng Guangrong: "Lao Liu, don't talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth!"

  Deng Guangrong chuckled, and said, "Second brother, I know, don't worry, I'm talking about it here, I'm sure I wouldn't say that outside!"

   Xie Xian is still called the fourth brother after playing Dragon Four.

Xie Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I bought the black and white images of Golden Harvest, from now on I'm afraid there will be no rivals in the Xiangjiang film industry. If you and I still want to hang out in the Xiangjiang film industry, we'd better Don't offend Chu Huan!"

  Deng Guangrong nodded. Although he also has his own influence in Xiangjiang, he is not enough compared to billionaires like Chu Huan, and Deng Guangrong wants to come to Xiangjiang to develop.

  Since I am in the film industry, it is naturally impossible to leave black and white images.

   Now it's just a complaint in front of my own people.

   Externally, we still need to have a good relationship with black and white images.

   "Longgang is finished this time, and we have to find other directors to cooperate in the future!" Xie Xian said helplessly.

  Deng Guangrong said with a smile: "There are so many directors in Xiangjiang, isn't it easy to find a director to cooperate with?"

  Xie Xian said helplessly: "You can still say that before, but now? The film "Double Dragon Going to Sea" is released. Not only is Longgang banned, but even the two of us will be implicated!"

  Although Chu Huan only blocked Longgang, "Double Dragon Going to Sea", a movie with a box office of only 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, is also a shame for Xie Xian and Deng Guangrong.

   If the two want to cooperate with a big director in the future, the other party will definitely consider it, even investors will consider it!

  Different positions focus on different points. The positions of Xie Xian and Deng Guangrong can only make them pay attention to the situation they will face after Chu Huan acquires Golden Harvest.

   Can't think of what the Feng family is concerned about.

   But some people are concerned about the same point as the Feng family.

  Cheung Kong Industrial, Li Jiacheng's office!

  At this time, Huo Jianning, Gan Qinglin, and Yuan Tianfan, the three major migrant emperors under Li Jiacheng, have not yet gathered under Li Jiacheng's command.

   Huo Jianning has just graduated from St. John's University in Minnesota, North America, and he has not returned from North America yet.

  Gan Qinglin is not only Li Jiacheng's general, but will actually become Li Jiacheng's brother-in-law in the future. However, compared with Huo Jianning and Yuan Tianfan, this person is more like the direct line of the banker of Changshi Group!

In the later generations, the brilliance of Li Jiacheng was so dazzling that people always thought that in Changshi, Li Jiacheng was a person who said nothing, but in fact, in Changshi, the rights of his wife's people in Changshi are also very important. The real legal affairs, brother-in-law is a long-term high-level.

   This is also the reason why everyone knows that Li Jiacheng has a confidante, but has never married her. The influence of the Zhuang family in Changshi cannot be underestimated.

  As for Yuan Tianfan, he still doesn't know where he is

  So things about Changshi at this time are generally decided by Li Jiacheng himself.

  At this time, Li Jiacheng was sitting in his office, next to him was the freshly released "True News", and the spread section was about the acquisition of Golden Harvest by black and white images.

  The question he was thinking about was the same as that of the Feng family.

   "Golden Harvest 120 million Hong Kong dollars, Golden Gate Building 230 million Hong Kong dollars, this is 350 million Hong Kong dollars, where did Chu Huan get so much money? Do you want to compete with us for the Chinese business?"

  Li Jiacheng and Zou Wenhuai knew each other, and occasionally Li Jiacheng would also invest in some Golden Harvest movies, so Li Jiacheng knew more than the Feng family, such as the specific funds for the acquisition of Golden Harvest by Black and White Video!

  But knowing that you know it doesn't explain anything. What Li Jiacheng wants to know is how much money Chu Huan still has in his hands.

  Now the competition between Cheung Kong and Hang Lung Properties for the Chinese branch has risen to 140 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 10 million higher than the 130 million Hong Kong dollars proposed by myself before!

  Although it is only 10 million, it is not a small sum for Changshi today. For a person like Li Jiacheng, he has calculated every sum of money.

   Spend 10 million more on this project, and spend 10 million less on other projects!

   Now, I don’t know about Chu Huan’s capital reserves, and continue to compete with Chu Huan

  In the end, Li Jiacheng put this bad idea behind him. As I have said before, Li Jiacheng is very optimistic about the value of the Chinese business. As long as he can get the Chinese business, the future benefits will definitely be immeasurable.

  Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng directly called Feng Tianfen.

   "We decided to raise it to 145 million Hong Kong dollars!"

  Compared to the one million one million increase after Hang Lung Properties raised the price before, this time Li Jiacheng directly raised the purchase price to 145 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Feng Tifen smiled happily on the phone, and said: "Li Sheng has received HSBC's help, which is really enviable!"

   Without the support of HSBC, how could Li Jiacheng have the confidence to compete with Chu Huan now.

  Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Feng Sheng, although we Changshi and HSBC are very optimistic about the Chinese business, the value of the Chinese business is here. If the price is too high, be careful that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end!"

Feng Tianfen heard the two meanings in Li Jiacheng's words. If you trade the Chinese bank to Changshi, you can get the friendship of HSBC. If you don't trade the Chinese bank to Changshi, although the two sides can't talk about enmity, the friendship will definitely be gone. .

"Feng Sheng, 145 million is already a lot. I think even if Chu Huan raises the price, it will not exceed too much. I know that your company needs funds for its recent development. If this drags on, your company should not It's easy, right?"

  Changshi, HSBC, and Chu Huan can all see the value of Huarenhang, so naturally Feng Tianfen and others can also see it.

But they are different from the above three companies. First of all, they understand that compared with the current high-rise buildings in Central, the facilities of Chinatown are too backward. Coupled with the current real estate market in Xiangjiang, if they want to realize the true value of Chinatown, they must To overthrow and rebuild, if this is the case, at least 200 million yuan will be invested, which is not acceptable to Huaren Property.

  Secondly, both Feng Tifen and Li Fushu actually have their own companies. They also suffered losses in the stock market crash and needed a large amount of funds to cover their positions or fill their own holes.

  That's why they decided to sell the Chinese business.

   Li Jiacheng's words touched Feng Tianfen's heart.

  After being silent for a while, Feng Tifen said: "I need cash!"

  Li Jiacheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is natural, Feng Sheng should believe in our strength!"

  Feng Tifen nodded. If it was just Li Jiacheng, he would not believe it, but if he added HSBC behind Li Jiacheng, he would believe it 100%!

   "I need to think about this matter for two days, and I will give you an answer in two days!"

Li Jiacheng was a little helpless, and it would take two days, but he thought that Chu Huan would have to pay 230 million Hong Kong dollars to Landmark tomorrow, so he must not have much cash, so Li Jiacheng thought about it and said: "Okay, I hope that in two days Would be good news!"

   After finishing speaking, Li Jiacheng said meaningfully again: "Feng Sheng, our business shouldn't just be based on the Chinese business!"

  Feng Tifen was slightly taken aback, "What does Li Sheng mean?"

   "After all, Huaren Real Estate is jointly owned by Feng Sheng and Brother Li. No matter how much it sells, it will be distributed according to the shares. If"

   Li Jiacheng didn't say what happened next, Feng Tianfen didn't ask, everything was kept silent.

   Then the two hung up the phone.

   After hanging up the phone in Li Jiacheng, Feng Tianfen didn't discuss this matter with Li Fushu, but called the children of Feng's family to his office.

   Discuss this matter.

  When the rest of the Feng family knew that after Li Jiacheng's bid of 145 million Hong Kong dollars, there were some additional conditions that should not be exposed, the people of the Feng family were tempted!

  Finally, it was unanimously decided to sell Huarenhang to Changshi!

   After all, I didn’t get up, and the two chapters were updated~~
