Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"I want to merge my four theaters, Roxy, Lisheng, Kai Sheng, and Kim Hung Kei, plus a theater under construction, into the Baiyang Cinema Line!"

Lei Juekun said straight to the point.

Yang Ye thought to himself that the old guy finally couldn't sit still.

In the original time and space, Lei Juekun saw the popularity of the Hong Kong film market and decisively chose to enter this year.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Why would Boss Lei choose to cooperate with me?"

In fact, before Lei Juekun came to Yang Ye, he first approached Zou Wenhuai and wanted to join Jiahe Cinema Line.

Because he felt that joining the weaker side would be a timely help.

However, Zou Wenhuai decisively refused. Jiahe's theater arrangement was already very good and there was no need for the charcoal sent by Lei Juekun.

So Lei Juekun found Yang Ye instead, preparing to add icing on the cake.

Lei Juekun smiled and said: "We Li Sheng and Bai Yang have always cooperated well. In the past few years, every time you have a blockbuster movie released, you will rent our theater. I also recently invested in a film company, and I will release the movie in the future." , we may have to rent your theater to show it. In that case, why not cooperate instead of renting it to each other, what do you think?"

Lei Juekun first approached Jiahe and expressed his desire to join Jiahe Cinema with Li Sheng.

Zou Wenhuai said heartily, do you want to eat shit? I'm doing a good job, why do I need to find someone to share the money with me?

Decisively refuse!

Lei Kuk-kun owns shares in Kowloon Bus and Kowloon Construction Enterprises and has a net worth of more than one billion. In this era, he is one of the few richest people in Hong Kong and is not short of money at all.

In the original time and space, he was rejected by Zou Wenhuai, so he bought some scattered theaters and established a Golden Princess theater chain, starting a ten-year dynasty in Xinyi City.

Just as Run Run Shaw's rejection made Jiahe bigger, Zou Wenhuai's rejection later made Xinyi City bigger...

It turns out that trying to eat alone doesn’t work!

So, now, Lei Juekun is looking for Yang Ye to cooperate, and of course Yang Ye... accepts it.

Accepting Lisheng to join is equivalent to indirectly owning Xinyi City!

In this world, only Yang Ye knows how powerful New Art City will be in the next ten years!

After listening to Lei Juekun's words, Yang Ye thought for a moment and said cautiously: "This matter is of great concern. I want to go back and discuss it with the shareholders!"

Lei Juekun smiled and said: "It should be!"

There are two shareholders of Baiyang Cinema Line. One is Xia Meng's husband Lin Baocheng, who holds 15% of the shares, and the other is the current theater manager Jiang Zhiqiang, who holds 5% of the shares.

Yang Ye owns 80% of the shares, and he has the final say. However, the opinions of the other two shareholders must be sought on this matter.

The meeting with Lei Juekun was just a preliminary intention. Specific cooperation matters, such as how to distribute the shares after the merger, and how to arrange the schedules of both film companies, will be discussed later.

Yang Ye said goodbye to Lei Juekun, and after reading the message on the pager, he hurried to the hospital.

Hand, foot and mouth disease can be severe or minor, and a mild fever or rash can be cured. Serious cases may be life-threatening and should not be taken carelessly.

Yang Ye found Zhao Yazhi's mother and son in the hospital, only to find that Zhao Yazhen was also there.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Yazhen shouted.

Yang Ye nodded: "Zhenzhen, you are here too!"

Then he asked Zhao Yazhi: "Honey, how is Hao Zai?"

Yang Hao was lying on the hospital bed receiving an intravenous drip, and had been coaxed to sleep by Zhao Yazhi.

"The doctor said that once the fever goes down, everything will be fine."

Yang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, held Zhao Yazhi's hand and said, "That's good. This is a common disease in children. Every child will get it. It's not a big problem, don't worry!"

Zhao Yazhi hummed and said, "I just feel sad to see him in severe pain."

Yang Ye said softly: "Just carry it over, it'll be fine. By the way, are you going to be hospitalized tonight?"

"need!"

"Then let me stay in bed with you. You go back and rest early!"

Zhao Yazhi shook his head: "You are a grown man, how can you take care of Hao Zai as well as I do? I'll stay!"

"Then we both stay!"

Anyway, they live in a luxurious ward with all facilities.

"Zhenzhen, go back and help your sister and I get some changes of clothes!"

"okay!"

"Did your sister not eat? Bring her some food when you come over!"

"Know it!"

Zhao Yazhen agreed and went!

……

Since Zhao Yazhi had to take care of Yang Ritian, Yang Ye called Lin Qingxia the next morning and told her that the filming was suspended.

When Lin Qingxia heard this, she was even more convinced that Yang Ye and Zhao Yazhi had a son.

She wanted to ask, but didn't. He hummed listlessly and hung up the phone. Yang Ye did not notice anything unusual about Lin Qingxia. After hanging up the phone, he asked Hu Yinmeng to notify Lin Baocheng, Xia Meng, Jiang Zhiqiang and Chen Ziqiang to come over for a meeting.

After everyone arrived, Yang Ye said straight to the point: "Lisheng Cinema wants to join our Baiyang Cinema. What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned and glanced at each other. Jiang Zhiqiang said: "Isn't it necessary? We can just rent Lisheng when we need it. If Lisheng joins, a lot of maintenance costs will increase during the off-season, which is not cost-effective!"

Lin Baocheng said: "We now have twelve theaters. The new theater opened in Wing On Department Store in Causeway Bay will be put into use by the end of the year. The current layout is still OK. If you need a new theater, you can just build it yourself. Why let Lei Juekun Come and intervene?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Lei Juekun is a rich man. He has taken a fancy to the booming film industry and has invested in the establishment of a New Art City Film Company. Once the company is established, the films produced will be released in theaters. It's okay if we agree to let him join. If he doesn't agree, he won't be short of money and will build a new theater chain. By then, there will be four large theater chains in Hong Kong, a small land like Hong Kong, and the competition will become even more intense. .”

Chen Ziqiang said: "Now that we have strong troops and horses, we are not afraid of competition, right?"

"We need to take a longer-term view. If there is one more theater chain in Hong Kong, many new forces will inevitably emerge. Let's talk about Xinyi City Company, which was just invested and established by Lei Juekkun, Maijia, Shi Tiandu He is a talented person, and Huang Baiming is not bad either."

Chen Ziqiang said: "Since Mr. Yang is optimistic about them, why not recruit them? Our Baiyang is more attractive than Lei Juekun's leather bag company, right?"

Yang Ye shook his head again: "I'm not Li Shimin. I'm going to do something like 'all the heroes in the world are under my control'. If there are too many talents joining, we will face the problem of resource allocation. In the end, some people are dissatisfied, and some people think it's unfair, and resentment will arise. , I will leave in the end! Sanmao, Aaron, and Qingxia are all at their peak now. Hong Kong is so big, and we don’t have many resources to provide!"

Xia Mengdao: "Why don't we let Li Sheng join us? If there are movies, they will be released together and we will share the profits and losses."

Xia Meng was a compromise, but Yang Ye still shook his head: "That would be too unattractive to Lei Juekun, so he would still build his own theater chain."

Everyone was a little confused, why did Yang Ye believe that Lei Juekun could become big?

Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, Yang Ye could not tell the truth, so he had to say: "Westerners have a way of doing business. When they are optimistic about a company and are worried that it will rise in the future and affect themselves, they will sell the company in advance. Make acquisitions to maintain its leading position in the industry.

My willingness to join Lisheng is also based on this business logic. It’s just that Lei Juekun is very wealthy. If I directly acquire his theaters and companies, he won’t do it. In this case, it’s better to let him join in and make money together! I hope everyone believes in my vision. I have a hunch that this will be a good business. "

Yang Ye has talked about this, and everyone has nothing to say. Support it!

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Then the next negotiations will be left to Manager Lin and Manager Jiang. They must strive for more benefits for us."

Yang Ye didn't have time to argue. Let others do these details. He just wanted the final result.

Lin Baocheng smiled and said, "Of course!"

Jiang Zhiqiang asked: "Since the other party has a film company, we have to make a decision about schedule allocation. Mr. Yang, do you have anything to say?"

Yang Ye waved his hand: "We treat everyone equally. They can choose any schedule they want. The films will be arranged according to the pre-sale box office and the popularity of the midnight slot. If the attendance rate is good, the show will be added, and if the attendance rate is good, the show will be reduced."

"I understand!"

Yang Ye came to cooperate with a very open attitude.

……

After the meeting in the morning, Yang Ye went to the brokerage company in the afternoon.

Walking into a classroom, Yamaguchi Momoe was taking a vocal class. Since she didn't want to cause a disturbance, she didn't teach many students in person.

Apart from Akina Nakamori, there were only Zhou Huimin, Cui Zhenzhen, Fu Mingxian and three girls from Taiwan.

Yang Ye quietly slipped in through the back door, signaled Yamaguchi Momoe to be silent, and found a seat to listen to her talk.

Momoe Yamaguchi now lectures, mixing Japanese and Cantonese, and occasionally Mandarin. Because they have been running together for more than half a year, they can actually understand each other.

If this continues, in a few years, all of these little girls will be able to speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean and English. A group of 6!

Yamaguchi Momoe is currently teaching Japanese enka, which is a unique type of song in Japan. Its characteristic is that it is performed and sung at the same time.

Yang Ye listened for a while and found that Yamaguchi Momoe had done enough homework and spoke in detail.

Yamaguchi Momoe has been in the Japanese entertainment industry for eight years, and her singing skills are constantly improving.

She was a stance contestant in her early days, and later began to add hand movements and performances. However, singing and singing are still not her strong point.

When Yamaguchi Momoe called out that get out of class was over, Yang Ye immediately applauded enthusiastically and said loudly: "Poop!"

This transliteration is a bit ridiculous, but it means very good and wonderful.

When several little girls heard the applause, they all turned their heads in surprise.

Xiao Qiang said in surprise: "Brother Ye, when did you come?"

Yang Ye said: "Let me check if you are listening carefully in class!"

Xiao Qiang said helplessly: "I don't want to listen carefully, but if I lose my attention in Teacher Baihui's class, I won't know what she is talking about."

Yang Ye couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "It seems that if your teacher Baihui can speak Chinese well, it will be bad!"

Yamaguchi Momoe said: "How about that? I will try my best to learn Chinese!"

Yang Ye gave a thumbs up: "You speak Chinese well and your lectures are also very good!"

Yamaguchi Momoe said: "Actually, I'm not very good at singing. I can only give you a rough idea."

Yang Ye said: "Speaking of performing songs, although Deng Lijun is not Japanese, she is a representative singer of the performing arts department. I will ask her to come over and give you lessons some other time!"

Speaking of which, it’s really great to be able to come to the training class opened by Yang Ye. There are masters teaching various skills! (End of chapter)
