Hong Kong Compilation begins with a serious case of anger

Chapter 153 149, remember, don't kill anyone
"Cinema?"

Huang Scholar was surprised. Is his boss really engaged in theaters?
Liu Jizu immediately called and asked the taipan at HSBC, asking him how many theaters he had bought for himself, because in this day and age, many theaters are connected to the land, and the owners of these theaters basically They are all waiting for the land to appreciate so that they can build commercial office buildings.

And some movie theaters are purchased rather than rented. Therefore, if you want to buy these scattered theaters, it is most appropriate for the local tycoon HSBC to come forward. Those bosses who are unwilling to sell must sell HSBC to save face. .

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Some bosses wanted to shop around to see if they could sell for more money, so they contacted Shaw Brothers and Jiahe to see if they would pay a higher price to buy their home. movie theater.

Therefore, although HSBC agreed to Liu Jizu's secret operation, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe still knew about it, so there was the opening scene, where the DreamWorks movie was not allowed to be released, and I just locked in your company, how about it?
When the Happy Ghost trend is over, no matter how good Liu Jizu's films are, the audience at that time will be fatigued and bombarded by countless copycat Happy Ghosts for several months, and not many people will pay for it.

"Boss, are you really buying a theater chain? No wonder, no wonder the two of them ignored our movies as if they had made an appointment."

"Well, don't be afraid, we will do some renovations in the past few days, and we will show it in our own theaters. HSBC has already told me that it has successfully acquired more than a dozen companies, and we will rent a few more to make up enough. Thirty or forty companies can be directly operated."

"Then boss, do we want to hold a press conference?" Huang Shusheng said excitedly. Although he doesn't have a stake in the theater chain, DreamWorks has it. It is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade. With the theater chain, I am afraid that the film company will not be able to develop. Well.

"No, what are you doing with those nonsense? Well, by the way, to publish a news in the newspaper is to invite the owners of retail movie theaters to join us. We can make concessions and not make a profit, but we must manage them in a unified way." Liu Jizu thought about it. Think, and released another big move.

After franchising, apart from unified management and payment of management fees, Times Cinemas won't earn a penny from you franchisees, aren't you excited?Are you happy?Are you happy?

There are a lot of theaters on Hong Kong Island. Apart from the two giants, there are also some leftist ones, which specialize in showing leftist movies, and some foreign ones, which specialize in showing foreign movies.

In addition, there are some Xianshi faction, because they are making money, their movies can't be said to be full, but the audience is more loyal than the big theaters. As long as there is a new movie, there will definitely be an audience.

In the end, there are some literary and artistic ones, showing some artistic films. In the past, these theaters did not want to join the two giants, but the two giants looked down on them.

You can rent and buy by yourself, so why do you need others to join?So if you want to join, you have to follow their share, and they take away most of the profits, so the small theaters simply don't join, denying the maintenance of their own venues, labor, water and electricity, and so on, they will all lose money.

Liu Jizu told Huang Shusheng his idea, and asked him to mobilize the bosses of these small theaters to join, but when Liu Jizu said that those small bosses would not be paid for a penny, Huang Shusheng was stunned.

"Boss, if you don't make a penny from them, how can Times Theater make a profit?"

"Of course it depends on the movie. The better the movie, the more we will earn. Moreover, the first time we joined was three years. After three years, everything has stabilized. If they want to continue to renew the contract, they have to pay more—"

Liu Jizu chuckled, the reason why he did this was nothing more than four words, he was rich and powerful, and he made a fortune recently, so it doesn't matter if the theater chain franchise is not profitable in this era, let's talk about it first.

"Okay, I'll do it right now. By the way, are you going to manage the Times Cinemas yourself?" Huang Shusheng suddenly thought of an important question, and said a little embarrassed.

"I want to make movies and manage DreamWorks, so I may not be able to separate my mind to take care of the second company."

Compared with management, he prefers making movies.

"I'll ask Fang Ting to go over there to help, and I also invited a four-eyed boy, his name is Martln, I'm already looking for an office address, and it will open in a few days, as long as the company has a movie released, it will be fine." Find him—"

Martln is the four-eyed boy referee before. Liu Jizu never asked his name, and he didn't know his name until after the celebration banquet.

Then I heard Siyanzi said that he was unemployed, so Liu Jizu thought about whether to ask him to come to his newly opened Times Cinemas for help——

Although Four-Eyed Boy is greedy for money, there is no need to question his ability, and he dares to walk among many killers and sell information.

Hearing that Liu Jizu invited him to be the manager, and he could also be a shareholder, Four-Eyed Boy Martln immediately said that there was no problem, and he immediately handed in a letter of resignation to the foundation. Anyway, the foundation was about to be dissolved——

Huang Shusheng nodded, but before he left, he suddenly thought of something, "That's it, then I can rest assured, then I will go to work first, by the way, the boss, the theater should be fast, there are more than a dozen who will start to let you go. As long as the movie is released, there are more than a dozen of them out there, and it’s going to be a month in the evening, I’m afraid our original version of Happy Ghost will be cold~”

Liu Jizu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I have an appointment with someone, you go to work, I will go to work~"

After Huang Shusheng left, Liu Jizu picked up the phone and called his foreign lawyer Peter Zhu.

"Hey, Lawyer Pete, help me secretly buy a first prize of Liuhecai. I'll pay [-]% more. Why? Of course it's a gift."

"By the way, I also want betting tickets. Help me buy a few at a high price. I want to give them away."

----

In Jiahe's office building——

An old man with unique charm and wearing reading glasses is sitting in the office, drinking tea and chatting with his old partner He Guanchang.

This old man is the boss of Golden Harvest, Zhou Wenhuai, who also lived a long life, living in his 90s before passing away.

"Young boy is young. He entered the film industry after earning some money. You can say that he makes movies, but he still wants to engage in theaters. I really don't know how powerful he is~"

Zhou Wenhuai was drinking tea. What he was talking about was Times Cinemas. One after another, the owners of cinemas came to ask him if he wanted to buy their cinemas at a high price, because someone wanted to buy them, and the truth was revealed all at once.

No matter how much HSBC kept it secret, it couldn't stop those greedy bosses from wanting to shop around. Those people took the initiative to contact Jiahe and wanted to sell it at a higher price, and Zhou Wenhuai immediately found out.

It’s fine to make a movie. After all, if the movie is not good, the audience will not pay for it, so there is healthy competition, but the theater is the lifeline of Golden Harvest. The two are already crowded enough, and now there is a third one that wants to enter this fish pond. What about the meal?
That's why Zhou Wenhuai asked his old partner to contact Shaw Brothers and directly blocked DreamWorks' films, and the two sides also reached a series of cooperation. As long as it is two films, the latter will not let Go to Times theaters.

On the one hand, Liu Jizu's film company was banned, and on the other hand, Liu Jizu's theater chain was banned. We will use both methods to see how long he can last——

"I don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, but young people are like this. They are young and vigorous. Didn't it be because you and I were young that we had the courage to leave Shaw Brothers and go out on our own, haha." He Guanchang said with a smile.

"Yeah, we are all old in a blink of an eye, and we are no longer young~" Zhou Wenhuai sighed, remembering the difficulties of starting a business.

In order to ban Zhou Wenhuai, the second-five boy who came out of his house to fly solo, the old club Shao Brothers used all kinds of overt and covert methods. At that time, he was really conscientious in starting his own business. On the one hand, he sprinkled money to make friends with white Taoists, and finally stood up.

Zhou Wenhuai asked, "I heard that more than a dozen companies have been acquired, and are you planning to open a certain day?"

He Guanchang nodded, "Although there are not many, it is already ready for operation. We blocked his happy ghost. It seems that he plans to show it in his own theater."

Zhou Wenhuai closed his eyes, leaned on the sofa and thought for a while, "Blocking his movies and theaters will give him time to breathe, he must be killed in the cradle, and help me go to Shao Liu to drink tea tomorrow. Young man, we must let him retreat in the face of difficulties—”

How do you get out of trouble?Of course it's a means, it's either black or white, if it's white, it may be useless, because white means only work on associations, and have little effect on rich people.

So it can only be black.
Shaw Brothers, the old owner of TV stations and movies, made a lot of money, but who would dislike their own money?It is certain that the third giant cinema will not appear.

Zhou Wenhuai is sure that his old club, Shaw Brothers, will definitely agree to join forces to strangle this ignorant young man in the cradle
He Guanchang nodded, "Okay, but is it a bit of a big deal? In the entire film industry on Hong Kong Island, which production company would dare to offend Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and dare to show it in theaters of his era?"

Zhou Wenhuai smiled, "Don't forget, the old club blocked us in the same way at the beginning, forcing us to open theaters ourselves, and then our theaters opened, and they made people in Hong Kong Island dare not come to our theater with movies. Now that there is someone who wants to repeat our old ways, we will definitely not let him get his wish.”

In a word, movies are fine, and this bowl of rice can let you eat, but theaters can’t, because this is a rice bowl for drought and flood protection. If you occupy one, others will lose one.

"Okay, I'll do it now~" He Guanchang nodded, opened the door and went out to make arrangements, but at this time, Zhou Wenhuai's words came softly from behind.

"Remember, don't kill anyone"
