The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 318 Big Business

"What a rare visitor!"

In the general manager's office of TVB, Fang Yihua received Wu Feng, who had come to visit. After they were seated, he began to tease Wu Feng without any politeness.

"Haha, I don't visit unless I need something!"

Wu Feng didn't mince words and stated his purpose directly: "I want to buy the audio-visual rights to Shaw Brothers' old movies!"

"Of course, if TVB is willing to sell the audio-visual rights to their dramas, I'm also willing to acquire them!"

"Oh, martial arts performers are so extravagant, they must have spent a lot of money!"

Fang Yihua's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously inquired, "What is Wu Sheng planning to do with so many audio-visual copyrights?"

"Manager Fang should have heard of VCD players!"

Wu Feng didn't hide anything and said directly, "That thing was made by my factory. We need a lot of audio-visual copyrights to seize the market!"

"VCD player?"

Fang Yihua was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what she meant and said in a deep voice, "It's the machine that recently appeared on the market that plays audio and video programs through CDs?"

"Exactly!"

Wu Feng nodded and said leisurely, "So, can Manager Fang make the decision?"

"What a magnificent spirit this martial arts performer possesses!"

Fang Yihua took a deep breath and, instead of answering, asked, "They've actually come up with something as good as a VCD player, trying to steal the business from video recorders!"

Just thinking about the market size of the video recorder business made her breath quicken, and she was deeply shocked.

The market for video recorders spans the entire world!
It's unrealistic to expect it to completely replace video recorders!
However, even capturing just 10% of the market share would amount to a tremendous sum, representing astonishing profits of billions or even tens of billions of dollars.

Wu Feng smiled but remained silent, letting Fang Yihua's expression change.

"Wu Sheng, is it possible for Sixth Uncle to get involved in the DVD player business?"

After pondering for a long time, Fang Yihua finally voiced her thoughts: "How about adding it through the copyright libraries of Shaw Brothers and TVB?"

"In addition, Uncle Liu has extensive connections and relationships in Southeast Asia, which can help you quickly promote the DVD player there!"

"If Uncle Liu wants to get into the DVD player business, he can just pick up the goods from my factory in Pengcheng!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said leisurely, "VCD players are still a novelty. If Uncle Liu has the ability to promote them in Southeast Asia, I would naturally welcome it with open arms!"

"Oh, so martial arts students are so agreeable?"

Now it was Fang Yihua's turn to be suspicious. She asked uncertainly, "Doesn't Wu Sheng have any other conditions?"

She had seen a VCD player before, but she hadn't thought much about it at the time.

But now I realize this is a huge business opportunity!

As I said before, as long as we can seize a portion of the video recorder market share, we can easily make a fortune.

Clearly, given the nature of Hong Kong businessmen, such a promising business would either be completely monopolized or monopolized together with close allies.

As for sharing the profits, don't even think about such a good thing!

Similarly, her first reaction to Wu Feng's 'generosity' was not joy, but worry that there might be a big trap involved.

"The more DVD players Uncle Liu sells, the more I earn. Why make so many demands?"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "Right now is the time to expand the influence and market share of our new products, so naturally the more we sell, the better!"

"Of course, there are still some conditions!"

Since Fang Yihua understood it this way, Wu Feng naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by: "I've got the audio-visual rights to so many old Shaw Brothers movies, and the audio-visual rights to all TVB programs, including the next ten years!" "This..."

Fang Yihua hesitated again. What Wu Feng proposed wasn't a condition at all; it was simply giving TVB money.
This was hard for her to understand, and she naturally suspected that there was something wrong with it.

"Manager Fang, let me put it this way!"

Seeing that this man was always suspicious, Wu Feng became quite impatient and simply said, "Whether VCD players can be quickly popularized depends on how good the content is!"

"DVD players are a big business, and so are the optical discs that can be burned with audio and video images. They are also related to the DVD player market!"

"Oh I got it!"

Fang Yihua realized what was happening, a shrewd glint in her eyes, and chuckled, "What if I don't agree to cooperate?"

"It's nothing!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "TVB will lose a long-term, stable source of revenue. As for Shaw Brothers' film library, it's quite valuable!"

"You could say it's worthless, it's just so-so!"

"Let's put it that way!"

Wu Feng put it very clearly: "Once the DVD business takes off, there will definitely be people who directly pirate and sell Shaw Brothers' old movies. It's a business with no cost anyway, so it's impossible to stop it!"

"Martial arts student, is this considered a threat?"

Fang Yihua retorted with dissatisfaction, "When it comes to pirated CDs, which pirate currently has the technology and capability to produce such content?"

"Manager Fang, you're wronging me!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "It's at most a copyright transaction of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Do you think I would care about that little bit of money?"

"In fact, the technology for burning CDs is not complicated!"

"Manager Fang might not believe it, but you can send someone to inquire how many pirated arcade motherboard manufacturers are currently operating outside?"

"The technology of graduated optical discs is nothing compared to that of arcade motherboards!"

"Is that so?"

Fang Yihua was skeptical, but after a moment's thought, she said, "In that case, I will talk to Uncle Liu about the copyright sale. There's no need to be in such a hurry!"

"also!"

Wu Feng stood up to take his leave: "Then I won't bother Manager Fang any longer. Let's meet again and discuss it in detail once Uncle Liu has some definite news!"

After saying that, he opened the door and left without any hesitation.

In the reception room outside, several bodyguards in suits hurriedly stood up and protected Wu Feng closely, one in front and one behind, before walking together towards the elevator.

When Fang Yihua rushed out, all she could see was the elevator doors closing as Wu Feng and his group were being carried.

"This guy……"

She rarely deals with people who act so decisively. Isn't doing business supposed to involve testing the waters multiple times? Why did she just turn around and leave after a disagreement?
I felt somewhat dissatisfied!

She felt that Wu Feng was a bit too arrogant, but she still immediately called Uncle Shao to report the matter.

"Don't rush!"

Uncle Shao remained calm and composed, saying slowly, "Let's talk about other things after things are cleared up. There's no point in saying anything more now!"

With Uncle Shao's instructions, Fang Yihua finally calmed down.

After all, even with her composure, it would be difficult to remain calm if she suddenly got involved in a huge business deal involving astonishing profits.
