I'm a manager at Heliansheng, I only look for legitimate businesses

Well, I will say it directly, I want to buy the copyright of Shaw's movies and TBV's TV series, forever!" Zhang Wen smiled and said solemnly.

Uncle Six's smiling face suddenly froze before he could say anything.

Aunt Six said bluntly, "Mr. Zhang, do you mean a permanent authorization or a permanent buyout? We can't let it go ourselves?"

Zhang Wen knew the other party had misunderstood when he heard this, and quickly explained: "It is a permanent license, and I will pay a licensing fee.

Of course, a buyout is not impossible, but Shaw's and TBV can still broadcast it, but if someone else wants to buy it, it can no longer be sold."

When Aunt Six wanted to say something else, Uncle Six raised his hand to stop her.

"Awen, are you planning to make a videotape?" Uncle Six figured out the connection.

Zhang Wen nodded and then shook his head. "It's a bit like a videotape, but not really. It's lighter than a videotape. I call it a VCD player. It's just a small disc like this. You only need two of these to play a movie."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he handed over two discs of God of Gamblers.

"Well, yes, it is indeed a lot lighter and very convenient, but it doesn't require you to put in so much effort, right?" Uncle Six asked curiously.

"Haha, Uncle Six, I won't hide it from you. I have invested in an electronics factory in Shenzhen that specializes in producing this kind of playback machines and recording this kind of discs. Although I can also pirate them, that's not good, and I don't want to do it.

Think about it, I have a market of one billion people in the mainland. As long as one percent or one thousandth of those people buy my machines and discs, would I still be afraid that I can't pay your licensing fees?

Besides, the films I sold had both the Shaw Brothers logo and the TBV logo on them, so it was also a good publicity." Zhang Wen said confidently.

The more Uncle Six and Aunt Six listened, the brighter their eyes became. After they exchanged glances, Uncle Six said, "The permanent licensing fee is 2000 million, and the permanent buyout is 1 million. What do you choose? Which one do you choose?"

Uncle Six spoke and looked at Zhang Wen with a smile.

"Uncle Six, are you selling your Shaw Cinemas? If so, I'll pay 2 million Hong Kong dollars for a permanent buyout including the cinema chain." Zhang Wen replied with the same smile.

This caught Uncle and Aunt Six off guard. They had been talking about copyright, but how did it bring up theaters now?

“No, the cinema chain won’t sell it.” Although she was very tempted by the 1 million yuan, the cinema chain was her golden baby, so how could she sell it? Aunt Liu refused on the spot.

But Uncle Six's expression is somewhat intriguing.

So, Zhang Wen continued, "I admit that Shaw Brothers was very powerful before and was the leader in the Hong Kong film industry. Unfortunately, in recent years, how many films produced by Shaw Brothers have been on the box office charts?

If I remember correctly, there were two films among the ten made in the 80s, one with a box office of 400 million and the other over 300 million.

This year, I guess there will only be one movie, which we co-produced, King of Thousands, which only made over 500 million at the box office. Although we didn’t lose money, we didn’t make much either.”

"Enough, stop talking. Awen, I do have plans to sell the cinema chain. In the future, we will focus our main energy on TBV's TV drama production. If you really want to buy it, the total price is 2.5 million." Uncle Six stopped Zhang Wen from continuing, and then made a firm offer.

"Okay, I won't bargain anymore. When will the formalities be completed?" Uncle Six was quick to explain, and Zhang Wen was even quicker. 2.5 million, the oil channel has been opened, and if the demand for goods continues, the money can be earned back in half a month.

"That's great! Come to my company tomorrow to sign the contract." Uncle Six said decisively.

"Okay, Uncle Six, see you tomorrow."

Chapter 50: Actually I am a Cook (Part 8)

Brothers Film and Television Company is not only a channel for Zhang Wen to make quick money, but also a channel for him to launder money.

The private oil business he does in China is shady.

It’s easy in China, you get U.S. dollars in cash and no one cares how you spend it.

But this is not the case for Zhang Wen. The money in his account must have a legal source.

Otherwise, Lian Ji would definitely invite him for coffee.

Therefore, with his support, several major directors took out the scripts they wrote to shoot.

Zhang Wen didn't care and just regarded it as training.

With an actual expenditure of 200 million, he can achieve an expenditure of 1000 million.

With a box office of 300 million, he can make 3000 million. Of course, a large part of it is overseas box office, and the settlement is all in US dollars.

Lian Ji has no way to deal with such operations. Is he going to check overseas? The overseas cinemas are very corrupt now and they don't keep any records of the box office.

By doing this, the money in Brothers Film and Television’s account soon began to increase.

But no matter how much it increases, it can't catch up with the profits from private oil.

Moreover, Jia Qianwu's dividends also came slowly. After giving out a batch of trial products, he actually negotiated the sales ratio to 7%. After that, 1 yuan was laundered through overseas money laundering channels, and there was still 6 yuan left.

According to Jia Qianwu, the main customers come from major casinos.

Counterfeit $20 bills are circulated freely in major casinos in Europe and the United States, and there is a lot of demand for them.

Now 5000 million can be ordered every month, which is really not a lot for the entire European and American markets. It has now become a stable source of income for Zhang Wen.

After sharing the dividends with Jia Qianwu, excluding various costs, the monthly income is 1500 million US dollars, which is 1.4 million a year.

80 million US dollars in the 1.4s was still very valuable.

Jia Qianwu intended to expand but was stopped by Zhang Wen. After explaining to him for a long time that too much is as bad as too little, he finally gave up the idea.

It would be bad to be too greedy. If Interpol finds out, tens of millions of dollars of income every month will be gone in an instant.

Moreover, Zhang Wen repeatedly reminded him to be cautious when spending money, especially with his subordinates.

Fortunately, under Zhang Wen's suggestion, Jia Qianwu opened a meat import and export company, and pig's feet, pig's tails, pig's heads, and pig's offal, which were originally only allowed to enter the country illegally, became legal.

It has also passed the inspection of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department.

After obtaining the supply, Zhang Wen immediately used the secret recipe, and Wen Kee’s braised food quickly became popular throughout Hong Kong.

It would be a waste if we don't use such good meat to do something with it.

We have to mention here Zhang Wen’s original occupation.

Yes, he is a cook.

The chef produced by Lanxiang Technical School.

A chef cooking on an ocean liner.

That's why he opened a wine stall as soon as he had money.

Now all the chefs in Wen Ji Restaurant are his apprentices.

With its novel dishes and top-quality ingredients, Wen Ji Restaurant has been featured in many Hong Kong food magazines.

Now if you want to eat Wen Kee’s dishes, you have to make reservations in advance.

So, the third floor of Wen Ji is a means for him to win over so many loyal brothers.

Every time they heard about a meeting, every younger brother became extremely excited. Not only did they not come late, they often arrived early.

Who doesn’t love delicious food, especially top-notch meals?

Every time, the brothers eat until their faces are greasy and the food is very delicious.

When I finally left, I felt very proud.

Because not everyone can enter Wen Ji Restaurant.

On a whim, he showed off his skills to the three women.

From then on, the three girls began to find various ways to please him, hoping that he would do it again.

Especially Lizhi, who had a hobby in this area and after tasting Zhang Wen's cooking skills, she began to want to become his apprentice and learn the skills.

In desperation, and also at Azhi's instigation, Zhang Wen taught some.

As a result, after learning it, Lizhi started cooking with various ingredients in the refrigerator on the tenth floor as soon as she got off work.

Out of curiosity, Zhen and Wei attended a dinner party with three girls.

As a result, the foodie team became five women.

Later it expanded to Sanzai.

For convenience, several people with families moved into the dormitory, and Zhang Wen’s residence on the tenth floor was turned into a gathering hall for several people.

Sanzai was initially a little afraid of Zhang Wen, the gang leader, but after getting to know him better, he found that he was easy to get along with, so he slowly let down his guard.

This is also what Zhang Wen is happy to see. He is very optimistic about these three people.

A future superstar.

"Boss, after investigation, we found that all the shares of Rediffusion Television are in the hands of an Australian consortium. However, Rediffusion's business has not improved at all, and the Australian consortium is looking for someone else to take over." Huo Jianning said as he looked at the information in his hand.

"Haha, that's a fool. Is anyone interested now?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Yes, the Qiu family of the Far East Group is in contact, but the talks haven't started yet," Huo Jianning said.

"Do you think if we make a move, will the price be raised?" Zhang Wen hesitated. Originally, it was not to be sold to the Qiu family until the middle of next year. Why did it start now?

"Boss, I suggest that we have a company with British background to help us acquire the property. At the same price, the Australian consortium will definitely choose to sell it to a British company." Huo Jianning suggested.

"A British company? How about HSBC?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Of course, we can definitely get it. Boss, are you familiar with HSBC?" Huo Jianning asked excitedly.

"It's not me and HSBC, it's them who are familiar with the deposits in my hands." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

Chapter 51: Young Master Rong

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

In the cafe of the Peninsula Hotel, Zhang Wen met with Zheng Quan, a senior manager of HSBC.

The bank where Zhang Wen’s Brothers Film and Television opened its bank account is HSBC.

With hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars and hundreds of millions of US dollars in balance, Zhang Wen has long been a VIP customer of HSBC.

After receiving a call from Zhang Wen asking for a meeting, Zheng Quan arrived before him.

"Mr. Zheng, to make it short, I want to entrust HSBC to do something for me." After sitting down, Zhang Wen spoke directly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhang?" Zheng Quan was a little surprised at Zhang Wen's request.

"I want to entrust HSBC to help me acquire Rediffusion. Currently, 61% of the shares are in the hands of an Australian consortium. This is the other party's information.

You also know that I am good at film and television, and now I want to expand my TV business." Zhang Wen explained while handing over a document.

Zheng Quan said nothing. After flipping through the documents in his hand, he nodded and said, "No problem. What is Mr. Zhang's minimum purchase price?"

"1 million Hong Kong dollars can be paid directly from my account. I heard that Mr. Qiu from the Far East also has this idea, so I can only entrust you to help me." Zhang Wen said the number.

"If it's 1 million, that's a bit difficult. How much can it go up?" Zheng Quan quickly judged the value, worthy of being an elite in the financial industry.

"Maybe 1.2 million at most. No matter how much we negotiate, 10% of it will be your commission. What do you think?" Zhang Wen made a big bet.

"Okay, then Zhang Sheng, just wait for my good news." With a large sum of money, Zheng Quan gladly accepted the task.

Watching Zheng Quan leave, Zhang Wen drank the coffee in his hand, put a red snapper under the coffee cup, and prepared to leave.

However, when he saw another person sitting by the window drinking tea, he took the initiative to walk over.

"Hello, Mr. Rong." Zhang Wen took the initiative to greet him.

"Haha, hello, what's the matter?" Young Master Rong asked with a gentle smile.

"It's okay. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Wen from Brothers Film and Television. You can call me Awen." Zhang Wen sat down and started introducing himself.

"Ah? Are you Long Wu?" Suddenly, Rong Shao remembered and asked in surprise.

"Haha, just a guest appearance." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet you here. I really like the role you played, very cool!" Young Master Rong smiled and pretended to be Long Wu taking money.

"Thank you for the compliment. I wonder if Mr. Rong is interested in starring in our company's movie now?" Zhang Wen asked. In fact, he had wanted to invite Mr. Rong for a long time, but the people around him had no connection with him.

"Me? I can only sing." Rong Shao was a little surprised, but worried that he wouldn't be able to perform well.

"No problem. You're so pretty. Here's my business card with the company address on it. Come and talk to me when you have time. What do you think?" Zhang Wen handed over the business card.

"Okay, ahem~~~actually I'm free right now. You know, the market for my record company ATV is not good." Rong Shao said with a blushing face.

"Hahaha, Li, right? I have news for you. We will be colleagues soon." Zhang Wen was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his acquisition of Li was a good decision. He was about to gain another great general.

"What do you mean?" Rong Shao was a little confused. He didn't understand.

"Haha, it's better that you don't know for now. It will be done soon. How about coming back to the company with me now?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Okay!" Rong Shao said and prepared to pay.

"I'll treat you. Let's go." Zhang Wen had already taken out a piece of Hong Kong paper and threw it on the table, then immediately took Rong Shao away.

This little detail made Rong Shao feel very comfortable. To be honest, he was very tight on money recently, but coming to The Peninsula to drink coffee has always been his afternoon habit and he couldn't change it for the time being.

Soon, a convoy of three Alphards took Zhang Wen and Rong Shao to Brothers Film and Television.
