Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 87 It really is a two-way journey!

These large-scale projects would require at least several hundred million yuan to transfer.

Not to mention that a lot of money will need to be invested in its construction.

Each one is a massive project worth billions or even tens of billions of yuan.

Tang Jinshan's 500 million yuan was just an empty promise, let alone anything else.

All we can do is look and drool.

Keep making money is the only way forward!

Besides, Lee Chi is good at developing real estate, so let's take a look at these projects first!

but.

Commercial plazas and shopping centers are all abandoned, not to mention the residential buildings.

In many places, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them "ghost towns".

Moreover, these projects that fail to complete often have many inherent problems.

Funding shortages, shoddy workmanship, property disputes, demolition issues, corruption —

Just looking at it gives me a headache.

Each one of them is a hot potato.

Tang Jinshan was even considering backing out.

However, finding land for development on one's own is also difficult.

Especially some demolition and relocation issues.

Even if Li Zhi is very familiar with real estate, he can't make it work.

Let's look at some projects with fewer pitfalls!

He doesn't understand it himself; he's only just getting acquainted with it so far.

Let Lizhi take over in the future!

Besides his official duties, Tang Jinshan was also busy in Guangzhou.

Gong Li is currently filming "Pretty Mom" here.

They've worked so hard, so as their boss, of course I should go and show my appreciation.

However, it would be bad to cause trouble for others.

So he didn't go to the Pearl River Film Studio openly.

Instead, he waited until she finished work before going to find her.

"Sister Gong Li, is filming hard?"

Tang Jinshan expressed his deepest condolences.

She had just finished filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and, without even taking a break during the Lunar New Year, she started filming "Pretty Mom" while also preparing for the filming of "In the Mood for Love".

They're working non-stop, constantly busy.

Unfortunately, the filming locations are scattered all over the country, making it impossible to film multiple projects simultaneously.

However, this is quite normal for a top superstar like her.

If she wanted, she could take on endless jobs and make countless movies.

What brings you to Guangzhou?

Gong Li experienced a long-lost sense of familiarity.

However, she didn't think Tang Jinshan had come to see her specifically.

This guy has quite a few scandals in Beijing.

"Start a small business, and if the opportunity arises, try real estate. You know Zhujiang New Town, right?"

After comparing the two, Tang Jinshan concluded that Lizhi Capital was far more powerful.

After all, she's a "businesswoman" who can lose 200 million yuan.

However, Gong Li is also exceptionally talented and has substantial financial resources.

Now they've all run into him.

This year has really started off great, with a bountiful harvest everywhere!

"You're planning to invest in real estate? Be careful, especially in the Zhujiang New Town area."

Gong Li immediately became worried about Tang Jinshan.

Having lived in Guangzhou for so long, she had naturally heard many stories from there.

After the financial crisis, unfinished buildings appeared one after another.

Tang Jinshan's involvement now is probably not a good thing.

In particular, he has too many past examples of how every film he invested in lost money.

The film "Goodbye, Ah Lang," which was released during the Spring Festival, has only grossed over 3 million yuan so far, which is a significant loss compared to its 8 million yuan investment.

She even paid special attention to it.

Tang Jinshan's fourth film, "Truth or Dare," was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Singapore a few days ago.

The box office performance in Hong Kong was dismal, with only over 70 HKD grossed on the first day.

With a Singaporean actress and a mainland Chinese actor, it's no wonder the film industry is struggling to make a box office success in Hong Kong!

The response was better in Singapore, but the market was too small.

It won't cause any trouble.

Compared to the 2000 million investment, it's basically a complete loss!

There's also "Pretty Mom," which I'm currently filming.

The filming cost soared from the original 800 million to 1500 million.

As an art film, the chances of recouping its costs are almost zero.

Tang Jinshan invested solely because of her.

This includes additional funding.

It would be better if this movie won an award.

Otherwise, Tang Jinshan would have lost a lot of money!

By that calculation, he has lost money on about five consecutive films.

Real estate requires far more capital than making a movie!

Even if he were rich, he wouldn't lose money like this.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

He was very pleased with the Emperor's concern.

I couldn't resist acting impulsively again.

Gong Li let him do whatever he wanted and tolerated his impulses.

He knew he would lose money, yet he still invested so much money in making his own movie.

Even if it's a transaction, he's the one who loses.

I have no way to repay him, so I can only try my best to make amends in other ways!

Seeing that he was investing so much in himself, she cheered him on.

Tang Jinshan was even more moved!

With the Empress Dowager showing him such care and encouragement, how could he slack off? How could he be dejected?

To recharge, he wanted to take Gong Li to climb Baiyun Mountain and experience the fun of the mountain trails.

Unfortunately, the originally unrestrained Empress Gong refused no matter what.

Tang Jinshan had no choice but to give up.

Besides, she's busy filming during the day, and hiking at night isn't a good exercise.

Tang Jinshan spent several days in Guangzhou, traveling back and forth between the two cities.

Finally, amidst the reluctant gazes of Emperor Gong and a group of leaders, they returned to Hong Kong once again.

at the same time.

The system has settled the accounts again.

"Goodbye Ah Lang" was taken off the screens two days ago, with a total box office of 357 million.

This was originally an art film, and releasing it during the Spring Festival was just asking for trouble.

Moreover, it was sandwiched between "King of Comedy" and "Gorgeous".

Tang Jinshan suffered another huge loss.

Another wave of unrestrained ridicule erupted in the media.

His judgment is as accurate as ever! He loses money on everything he invests in!

In a great mood, Tang Jinshan completely ignored it.

He instructed Du Qifeng to sell the distribution rights outside the region and the DVD copyrights all for a package price of 100 million.

[Goodbye, Ah Lang, has finished its theatrical run and revenue is being calculated.]

[Accounting completed, the total investment for "Goodbye Ah Lang" was 800 million, the total revenue was 343 million, and the net loss was 457 million.]

】

[Currently verifying the accuracy of the cost estimates —]

[The cost accuracy assessment is rated as Grade A, and a tenfold refund will be given.]

As expected of Du Qifeng!

Two Grade A ratings!

Tang Jinshan likes him more and more!

In fact, Du Qifeng also secured several hundred thousand yuan in sponsorship from GG, but it was all invested in promotion, which offset the cost.

With 4570 million yuan returned and money in his pocket, Tang Jinshan suddenly became more assertive!

The emptiness I felt before has finally subsided considerably.

Moreover, there are good things even if the box office is a loss.

A group of people, including Vivian Chow, Chingmy Yau, Wan Qiwen, and Yammie Lam, expressed their concern and condolences.

As the female lead, Li Jiaxin is especially caring and considerate.

Tang Jinshan invested in her specifically to get her a role.

I was too willful back then, and I made him lose so much money!

With that money, you might as well save it.

Actually, I don't necessarily need to play a role.

It's too late to say anything now; all I can do is try my best to make it up to him.

So, Tang Jinshan, back in Hong Kong, was never idle.

Soon it felt empty again.

I feel even weaker than before!

Meanwhile, good news also came from Lizhi.

She contacted Zhang Min again and secured her investment.

Furthermore, Zhang Min expressed her desire to meet him.

Tang Jinshan immediately flew to the mainland again.

However, of course, we'll fly to Yancheng first.

"Mr. Tang, how's it going in Guangzhou?"

Lizhi was already impatient.

She's already continuing to invest money, hiring construction teams and material suppliers.

If they ultimately cannot mortgage the property to the bank, they will lose everything.

All hopes are just empty talk.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken with the leaders there, and they're very willing to bring in new funds and take over many projects."

However, you'll have to handle the specific details yourself. I'll introduce you to someone when the time is right.

Tang Jinshan was even more anxious than Li Zhi.

"Really? Then we can really continue with real estate?"

Li Zhi was overjoyed.

This was the best news she had ever heard.

Since retiring from the entertainment industry, I have been stuck in a quagmire.

Now there is finally hope for a turnaround!

This big boy gave her so many surprises!

"Of course, in addition to developing real estate, we can also build commercial plazas and shopping centers later!"

There are many unfinished projects over there, in very good locations. We can take them over and start them when we have the money!

So you need to keep working hard; everything will depend on you in the future. I know absolutely nothing about real estate.

Tang Jinshan was ambitious and full of lofty aspirations.

"Take it easy. The housing project isn't even settled yet, and you're already thinking about those things."

Lizhi was somewhat afraid of his arrogant demeanor.

"How about we start with a small project and research a nursery?"

"Pah!"

Lizhi's face turned bright red.

Now that she's in charge, how could Tang Jinshan allow her to back down?

Seeing that he was tired, Lizhi took a handful of ingredients and made breakfast to replenish his energy.

A huge portion of fried egg and sausage was quickly placed in front of me.

Two eggs, packed with nutrition.

Tang Jinshan was instantly deeply moved!

Li Meiren is so good to him, so generous!

but----

"Sister Zhi————"

Seeing Li Zhi's luscious red lips, Tang Jinshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He breathed into her ear.

"Pah! Ugh!"

Caught off guard, Lizhi was ambushed.

That bastard!

Li Zhi glared at Tang Jinshan resentfully, but could only roll her eyes.

Tang Jinshan felt an overwhelming sense of conquest.

However, as a consequence, he almost got bitten hard by Lizhi.

Fortunately, she couldn't bear to part with it.

Li Zhi was very angry, and Tang Jinshan couldn't coax her all night.

She had long lost her desire to have fun and went out to do serious business the next day.

The two traveled together to Shanghai to see Zhang Min.

In Shanghai, Tang Jinshan finally met this Hong Kong beauty who was as famous as Chingmy Yau.

"Ms. Zhang, you are even more beautiful in person than in the movies! It's such a pity you've retired from the entertainment industry!"

Tang Jinshan sighed.

"I also think it's a pity, otherwise we could have filmed a movie that Mr. Tang invested in."

Zhang Min also sized up Tang Jinshan.

He was indeed as young, handsome, and wealthy as the legends said.

Even more handsome than Andy Lau!

However, she never imagined that Lizhi had gotten involved with him.

They also invested in real estate together.

However, he is indeed exceptionally wealthy, as he was able to revive even Lizhi's real estate project!

They even plan to invest 500 million!

perhaps----

Zhang Min's heart suddenly burned with passion.

Don't be fooled by her glamorous appearance today; she's actually riddled with holes.

Since retiring from the entertainment industry in 95, he has lost nearly ten million yuan investing in movies.

Afterwards, he returned to his hometown of Shanghai and invested in several fashion stores, beauty salons, and the "Dancing with Dragon" karaoke bar.

However, it is basically operating at a loss.

She even invested in a real estate project in Guangzhou.

The development of luxury villas in the suburbs of Guangzhou also ended in failure due to the financial crisis.

Nearly ten million yuan of investment has been lost.

Currently, she only has a little over ten million left.

Many people are still contacting her, and she plans to invest in more projects to see if she can earn it back from other sources.

If she loses money again, she won't be able to keep the house she bought in Shanghai.

Just then, Li Zhi came to her again, trying to get her to cooperate.

Compared to others, Tang Jinshan, a wealthy young man who returned from overseas, is certainly a better investment target!

He even chose to locate his real estate project in Guangzhou.

Perhaps we could get him to provide some funds to revive the project?

Unfortunately, he chose Zhujiang New Town.

That place was in even worse shape than her villa; it had long since become a ghost town.

"Mr. Tang, I heard you're planning to invest in real estate in Guangzhou? A total investment of 500 million?"

Zhang Min asked.

"That's right, I've already made contact with the leaders of the investment bureau there, and I've even conducted an on-site inspection."

However, the specifics of the project will need to be overseen by Sister Zhi; I don't understand real estate.

Tang Jinshan looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile.

Zhang Min's gaze immediately shifted to Li Zhi.

Unlike her, who only invested and did not participate in management, Li Zhi personally built more than fifty villas!

She had also visited the villa complex on Haiyun Peninsula.

She was actually the only one here who understood real estate.

Perhaps this is why Tang Jinshan sought her out?

"I haven't seen the specifics yet, but perhaps we can go and check it out in person together."

Li Zhi knew that Tang Jinshan was deliberately trying to save face for her.

However, she ignored him and instead pulled Zhang Min aside to talk.

"Okay, okay!"

Zhang Min immediately said happily.

She would certainly be happy to see it for herself, or even meet those leaders.

She then looked at Tang Jinshan: "Mr. Tang, does your real estate investment have to be in the New City area? Actually, I have a villa project in Guangzhou, but it was abandoned due to a funding shortfall. Why don't you invest in my real estate project?"

Zhang Min's eyes were filled with anticipation.

This is one of the reasons why she was so eager to see Tang Jinshan.

If he had the funds, perhaps he could save his project?

"I chose Guangzhou because of Zhujiang New Town; I'm not considering other projects for now. However, if I have more funds, I can try to help."

Tang Jinshan said.

He was eyeing Zhang Min's money, but he didn't expect that she was also eyeing his funds.

They really are going to each other's places!

However, Zhang Min still has funds on hand, but she hasn't invested any more.

This proves that her project was a huge scam.

There's nothing we can do to save her now.

I'll help her out when I have more money in the future!

"It's settled then, thank you Mr. Tang!"
