Chapter 227 227 [Profits and Crisis of Development]
Luo Qihong can’t remember the box office of “Lucky Star”, but his impression seems to be good. Can it beat “The Best Partner 2”? A bit suspenseful.
Looking down, the movie "Summer Lucky Star" was also included, and it was marked "The best actress is Kwan Jiahui", which made Luo Qihong take a deep look at Shum Jianxun and Hong Jinbao.
These two guys still don’t know about Luo Qihong’s previous breakup with Guan Jiahui.
Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun are quite familiar with the controlling desire of the rich man Jinwu Cangjiao, and they know that Luo Qihong is reading the script of the movie "Summer Lucky Star".
Jin Bao quickly explained, "Luo Sheng, the heroine of the movie "Summer Lucky Star" was not Miss Guan originally. Miss Guan came to me a few days ago and hoped to act, so she was added."
< br>"Oh? Why haven't I heard Jiahui mention this matter?" Luo Qihong said with the corner of his mouth raised.
Before he finished speaking, a beautiful figure followed the voice into the conference room. "I heard you say something about me. Are you saying bad things?"
Cen Jianxun smiled and said, "How dare we say that? Bad words for Miss Guan! I just mentioned that Miss Guan wants to star in the movie "Summer Lucky Star". Luo Sheng may be concerned about some more exposed scenes. In fact, we can use a substitute."
Guan Jiahui. He sat down next to Luo Qihong, with a bit of coquettishness on his face, "I'm bored to death at home. The stock market and property market are not good. I don't know what to do. I can only come out and act to relieve my boredom."
Luo Qihong glanced at Guan Jiahui, and while reading the script, he said, "Didn't you say that acting is hard last time? This is work, and you can't give up halfway."
"I know, it's not like I didn't act. After the show, Hong Sheng and Cen Sheng offered me a acting fee of 250,000 yuan. According to the current real estate market, I can buy half a high-end apartment," Guan Jiahui explained confusedly.
"It's up to you, use a body double for all those revealing scenes." Luo Qihong didn't want his girlfriend to show too much flesh, otherwise his face would be lost.
"Hong Sheng, Cen Sheng, I think "Lucky Star" and "Summer Lucky Star" can be arranged during the Christmas and Spring Festival schedules, and "Lucky Star" can be used to compete with "The Best Partner 2" Let's fight in the ring." Luo Qihong immediately decided to deal with it.
"Will "Lucky Stars" use the original cast? Due to the popularity of "Five Lucky Stars", the values of the original actors have increased a lot, so additional budget is needed." Hong Jinbao asked.
"Add more. As long as it's not too much, I agree." Luo Qihong waved his hand.
In the past two years, the wages of workers in Xiangjiang have increased significantly, and the salaries of actors must also increase. Otherwise, Baoxiang Film Company would become Shao Laoliu and become a "lonely and cold species".
"If you still have some spare time, you can continue to shoot other movies without any dividends. What do you think?" Luo Qihong asked friendly.
He really doesn't intend to force this matter. He is not short of money, but it does not mean that Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun are not short of money. Jiahe Entertainment does not want to pay dividends.
Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun looked at each other. It seemed that they wanted to share the dividends.
Seeing this, Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Since you two don't agree, let's divide the dividends. What proportion of dividends do you think is good?"
When it came to money, Guan Jiahui's eyes lit up. She had heard of it. If the movies shot by Baoxiang Film Company have a box office, there will definitely be a lot of money in dividends.
Hong Jinbao thought for a long time, then made eye contact with Cen Jianxun, and said, "How about a dividend of 30% of the annual profit?"
"Okay, then we will give a dividend of 30% of the profit to the theater chain. It's the same over there," Luo Qihong said.
Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun immediately nodded in agreement. They understood that the theater chain’s dividends were so small because Luo Qihong wanted to take the opportunity to expand the theater chain’s business scope, which was very beneficial to them.
After leaving Baoxiang Film Company, Luo Qihong and Guan Jiahui came to the teahouse to have afternoon tea.
Guan Jiahui held the bun between her legs, took a small bite, and said with a pout, "The current market is so bad, I will make a lot less money."
Luo Qihong said with a smile, "It is difficult to make money now. Yes, but this is an opportunity. You can make more money in the future, so you must seize it.”
Guan Jiahui has heard Luo Qihong’s analysis in this area before. Although she doesn’t understand it very well, she knows that she can seize the opportunity. Earn several times the money.
But now she can't stop at all and hopes to keep making money.
"Movies are so profitable now, why don't you and I open a film company together." Guan Jiahui expressed her inner thoughts, and some of her father Guan Shan's contribution was involved in this.
Luo Qihong immediately became wary and felt that there was some element of instigation, so he responded with a smile, "Opening a film company may not always be profitable. Go and find out how many people have lost money by opening a film company. "
"Don't see Baoxiang Film Company making money. It's because Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun have been in this industry for many years and understand the market demand. How much money did your dad throw into the movie? "
When talking about the money Guan Shan lost on the movie, Guan Jiahui's face suddenly turned gloomy. Guan Shan, her father, had caused her a lot of misery. At that time, she was hiding in Tibet and was frightened.
Guan Jiahui curled her lips, "Are there any other projects that make money? I'm not afraid of always making movies. It's a bit tiring if I make too many movies."
After all, Guan Jiahui is still a person who loves money. Money gives her a special sense of security. No one or anything can replace the role of money.
Seeing Guan Jiahui's big watery eyes, Luo Qihong instantly gave up and began to search for better project directions in his mind.
Soon, I discovered from the stars in their previous lives that the female stars in Hong Kong seemed to want to start a garment or underwear company. This seemed to be a very profitable business. Even in the 21st century, this business has not fallen behind. "How about making ready-to-wear and underwear products?" Luo Qihong said, "You are an actor and know a lot of female celebrities. You can definitely find them as endorsements. Such a brand should be able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong as soon as possible."
< br>
"Okay, then I will make ready-made clothes and underwear." Guan Jiahui stood up and kissed Luo Qihong's left cheek.
Luo Qihong said happily, "You can't bite off more than you can chew! Just make underwear. You are a woman and you should know better what quality underwear women need."
"Don't underestimate this business. If you can attract Xiangjiang 10 With thousands of women helping you, your company’s annual profit will not be less than tens of millions. You can also develop overseas markets in the future and become a truly rich woman.”
Guan Jiahui nodded repeatedly, “Okay, then I will just do it. Underwear, you must become the queen of underwear.”
“Have you figured out how to start?” Luo Qihong asked Guan Jiahui a difficult question.
"." Guan Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then hugged Luo Qihong's arm and said coquettishly: "Didn't you say you wanted to help me? How do you want me to start?"
Luo Qihong shook his head slightly, "Then how much money do you have left now? Or how much money do you plan to invest?"
Guan Jiahui's eyes sunk, and an idea flashed, "I have invested all my money in the Japanese stock market, and there is still some left." Why don't you lend me some money for living expenses first?"
"Yes, but I want to hold half of the shares in the new company." Luo Qihong no longer wants to let Guan Jiahui leave, and wants her to be his long-term lover. Slightly control Kwan Jiahui financially.
"Okay!" Guan Jiahui recalled Li Qiqi's explanation, 'It would be a good thing if Luo Sheng wanted to invest in the new company. You can ask for large amounts of investment funds at any time. '
"Okay, then I'll have someone help you find a new company in a few days. It's too troublesome for us to set up a new company ourselves. It's better to acquire an underwear company." Luo Qihong said.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Guan Jiahui started eating happily again. Luo Qihong gave her a lot of security and confidence in her appearance and charm.
After Land lost the Wharf Company, Land had cooperated with 30 companies to develop more than 70 real estate projects, and carried out investment and acquisition activities vigorously, including forming a consortium with Sino Properties to invest and develop Hong Kong Island. In the luxury residential area of Baibishan in Tam Dao, a consortium formed with Carnegie Corporation to purchase the old Miramar Hotel wing for HK$2.8 billion, bid for the Exchange Square site in Central at a high price of HK$5.155 billion, and launched a "dawn raid" to acquire the Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company. and the Hong Kong Telephone Company, spending billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Today, Land Corporation is in unprecedented trouble. Its long-term and short-term debt exceeds HK$16.5 billion, which is higher than the market value of Land Corporation. However, with Jardine Matheson as its backer and the huge property in Central as its trump card, the bank I am not very worried that the Land Company will go bankrupt.
However, banks such as HSBC are already preparing to press for the debt of Land Company, which after all involves billions of Hong Kong dollars in debt.
As for Hong Kong and Hong Kong, HSBC is the big boss. Once HSBC calls for debts, other banks will inevitably follow. Land Corporation can solve the problem, but it has to shed its skin and become smaller.
Land Company Executive Office
Newbigan and Bao Fuda are already grasshoppers on the same rope, and they are also the main targets that Simon Keswick needs to deal with.
Since the end of September, the two have been as anxious as ants on a hot pot, worried about losing their power and worried that the Keswick family will pursue their legal responsibility.
In fact, the two of them knew very well that the predicament of Land Company was irreversible, which meant that Newbijian and Bao Fuda were destined to withdraw from the Jardine Matheson Group and return control to Keswick family.
“It is clear that Chinese companies have made predictions before the disaster. Cheung Kong Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and New World Development Company will not have much influence. They may join forces to acquire Land. Company." Bao Fuda said with an extremely solemn expression.
"How likely do you think they are to acquire Land Company?" Newbijian asked in a deep voice.
Bao Fuda replied, "If I were Li Jiacheng and Zheng Yutong, I would not acquire Land Company, because Land Company's debts are too high, and it would be difficult to solve these debts if we take over Land Company."< br>
"Okay, then we are not the sinners of Land Company." Newbijian sighed weakly.
Bao Fuda was still full of fighting spirit, "Taiwan Newbigan, are you going to give up Jardine and Land Company? This is what we took back from the Keswick family with hard work."
Newbijian shook his head, "I no longer have the ability to help Land Company resolve these debts, unless the Keswick family is willing to support me and use Jardine Matheson's overseas assets."
If we sell Xiangjiang's assets now, we will undoubtedly lose billions of Hong Kong dollars. Even if the Keswick family doesn't take action, those directors will clear them out of the board of directors.
"Niubijian Taipan, let's think of another way, there will be a way to solve these problems." Bao Fuda was unwilling to give up, but once Niubijian gave up, he would be unable to stand alone.
"Those banks are already ready to collect debts from us. Where can we get billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds in a short time?" Niubijian spread his hands helplessly.
“We can find other banks and sell some projects, which may ease the situation and support it until the crisis is over.” Bao Fuda said.
"Then go find a bank." Niubijian's answer was still weak and lacked the energy of the past.
"You are the chief executive of the Land Company. Only if you come forward will the banks consider lending." Bao Fuda wanted to boost Newbijian's fighting spirit and tried his best to fight with Simon Keswick, but both of them won at the beginning. Of the Keswick family.
"Okay, which bank do you want to negotiate with first?" Newbjian asked.
"How about Wan Guo Baotong Bank?" Bao Fuda said.
