Chapter 53:
"Because the safety facilities of the crew have passed the inspection, they are specially allowed to start filming!"
Deputy Director Liu decisively recognized his mistakes, and actively corrected them. He accepted the red envelope of 50,000 yuan from Shi Nansheng for re-education.
Yi Ran has become Su Shaoze's dog guard, and Su's films will be given the green light in the future.
In less than a week, the filming of the Terminator was over, and all that was left was the post-production soundtrack and other issues.
It will be out soon!
And Su Shaoze also met Shao Daheng, who was thinking about it day and night!
It was Shao Yifu who contacted Su Shaoze through Wang Jing and wanted to invite Su Shaoze to dinner and have a good talk.
Su Shaoze readily agreed, and the two met at the Peninsula Restaurant.
When Shao Yifu saw Su Shaoze for the first time, the most intuitive feeling was that he was too young.
It's ridiculously young, about the same age as his grandson, but he has created a huge net worth, and he is so ruthless that he can even make a car bomb.
"Hello, Mr. Shao, I'm Su Shaoze!"
Su Shaoze shook hands with Shao Yifu and said with a light smile, with a sincere expression as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Su's name has long been heard by the old man! After having had a deal this time, I finally understood what a real hero is!" Shao Yifu looked at Su Shaoze up and down, and said indifferently.
The tone was a little cold, and even more sullen 08. After all, just a few days ago, a bomb was placed in his car, which almost didn't kill him.
Anyone who encounters this is not in a good mood, and when he knows that the person opposite is the mastermind behind the scenes, but he can't do anything about it.
"Mr. Shao likes it!" Su Shaoze smiled lightly, very magnanimous, and didn't care about the irony in the old man's words.
Anyway, a few taels of meat are indispensable, and Quan should respect the elderly!
Shao Yifu: Am I complimenting you? Can't understand good words, do you?
After a few words, the two started to get to the point.
"Mr. Su, I, Shao Yifu, have lived for most of my life, and I'm in my seventies this year. What storms have I never seen? I've long since looked down on life and death!"
"But I know that the enemy should be resolved. Since the matter has already happened, it must be resolved in the end. What does Mr. Su think?"
Shao Yifu took a sip of tea and said softly, but his eyes were always on Su Shaoze.
First, he showed that he was not afraid of things, and then he showed his attitude that he wanted to solve the problem, just because he didn't want to be too sullen in front of this junior like Su Shaoze.
"Mr. Shao said yes, that's it! I, Su Shaoze, are a rude person. If I can do something, I don't keep my mouth shut. What happens is up to Mr. Shao!" Su Shaoze said with a laugh.
Hearing this, the corner of Shao Yifu's mouth twitched for a while, but I saw your Su Shaoze's ability to do it.
I put my posture so low, and I didn't let go.
What do you want to do for me again?
I'm in my seventies this year, what kind of people have I never seen before!
Can you scare you stinky boy?
Well, it was really scary!
"Mr. Su, don't talk about the past, let's make friends today, what business can we do together in the future!" Bu Yifu said with a laugh.
I put down my posture and see if I can erase this matter.
And Su Shaoze smiled and said with a look of approval: "Mr. Shao is right, we are friends, we make money together, and we do business together!" "Just today, I have a business I want to talk to Mr. Bu about!"
Hearing this, Shao Yifu's face twitched, and he came, this compulsive thing really refused to give up, he knew that he was still going to bleed today. "What business does Mr. Su want to discuss?" "We can talk about the business of the theater chain!"
"You want to buy my Shaw Brothers theater chain? Impossible!" Shao Yifu's expression changed and he refused decisively.
"Mr. Shao don't need to be angry. I have some understanding of Shaw's cinema chain. It's a big problem! There are too many staff and too much expenses. Mr. Bu will lose money if he keeps it in his hands. It's better to transfer it to me." Shao Yifu's face was serious. He knew that Su Shaoze was right. In recent years, Shaw Brothers films have been sluggish, and Shaw Brothers theaters have fewer and fewer guests, so they can't make any money at all.
Fang Yihua persuaded himself many times to sell Shaw Brothers and instead focus on running TVB.
Bu Yifu was also struggling, but he couldn't make a final decision. He couldn't bear it!
And Su Shaoze continued: "The cinema chain is the biggest drag on Shaw Brothers Pictures. If you don't show it, you will lose money. In order to meet the broadcasting needs of the cinema chain, Shaw Brothers Pictures has to start filming, but the filming must be good. Movies, such a vicious cycle is Shaw Brothers' biggest problem."
"So, why don't you just sell the theaters to me. Without this burden, Shaw Brothers' remaining film library and studios are excellent assets." "Mr. Bu also has the money to buy more wireless shares, I know Shaw's focus has been shifting to the TV station." "Mr. Bu, you have long wanted to surpass Li Xiaohe's family and become the largest shareholder of TVB, completely controlling the TV station!"
Listening to Su Shaoze's words, Bu Yifu's face was condensed, and finally he said, "There are 16 theaters in the Bu's theater chain, five theaters are franchisees, and there are 11 that really belong to the Bu's." "Four of them are leading theaters. , how much are you going to pay for the four medium-sized and three small theaters, together with the land?" Shao Laoliu asked after pondering.
He admitted that Su Shaoze was right, that the Shaw Brothers cinema chain was indeed dragging him down, and he even had to spend a lot of money every year to support the staff of the cinema.
And getting rid of the theater chain, Shao Yifu can also have more money to compete for wireless shares. "How much is Mr. Shao going to sell?"
"One hundred million, and I will sell you the land together!" Shao Yifu said through gritted teeth.
Su Shaoze smiled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shao is joking? I can build two theaters by myself for one hundred million yuan!"
"But you can't build a Shaw Brothers theater chain!" Shao Yifu said with a snort, his eyes full of misunderstandings.
Su Shaoze knew that he was right. Although the scales of Shaw Brothers and Lisheng Cinemas were similar, because Shaw Brothers has been established for a long time, the theaters are basically concentrated in the prosperous areas of the island and Kowloon. There is a lot of traffic.
Moreover, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line also has land, and the value of the land in the most prosperous part of the city center is self-evident.
Even if you put it there and do nothing, it will appreciate a lot every year.
Su Shaoze remembered that in 1986, the Shaw Brothers Cinemas sold 420 million yuan, but at that time the real estate economy on Hong Kong Island was booming.
Today, a billion is still worth a lot.
Li Chaoren's worth is only 2 billion!
And at this time, there have been rumors that the north is going to recover Hong Kong Island, and then all the land on Hong Kong Island will be confiscated.
Although many people know that this news is a rumor, they cannot completely dispel their doubts, so the real estate economy of Hong Kong 797 Island has begun to decline.
In 1982, after the Iron Maiden fell, the real estate on Hong Kong Island began to plummet.
At that time, it was time for Su Shaoze to prepare for bargain hunting!
The reason why Shao Yifu also sold the most valuable land in the theater chain was because he was worried about the settlement with him in the future.
Those who belonged to the British camp opposed the return, and even made a lot of wrong remarks. Later, they deeply realized their mistakes, and then they donated the building crazily...
Yifu Building!
"Let's do it! Sir Shao, there is no need for us to argue over some petty profits. I will pay 80 million, all in cash, and pay in one lump sum, how about that?"
"This is already my bottom line. If Sir Shao is not satisfied, then I can only regret to say that our business cannot be done!"
"There is ample time!"
Lying Kai!
Still coming to Japan, you started threatening me again, didn't you?
Shao Yifu was so angry that his beard twitched, but he began to care about it in his heart.
Eighty million is a lot, and the most important thing is cash checkout!
Don't look at Hong Kong Island's top billionaires with billions of net worth, but it does not mean that they can really come up with several hundred million in cash, basically they are just fixed assets.
Their business is basically mergers and acquisitions, with share swaps and other methods!
Having money and having cash are two completely different concepts.
What's more, what Su Shaoze said was a one-off, which made Shao Yifu even more excited!
"Okay! Eighty million, paid in cash in one lump sum!"
"The Shaw Brothers Cinema is yours!"
Chapter 84 Galaxy Fund
Soon, Su Shaoze and Shao Yifu signed an agreement under the witness of their lawyers.
Su Shaoze paid 80 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to Shao Yifu at one time, and obtained the ownership of the eleven theaters in the Shaw Cinemas chain, including the land, and the remaining three-year franchise contracts of the other five franchise theaters.
After doing all this, Su Shaoze found that his money was about to run out!
From the 240 million Hong Kong dollars earned from Wharf Ship King, only 40 million are left!
Short of money!
At this time, the Bu's Cinema has been renamed the Su's Cinema as a whole, but the name of each cinema has not changed, and the employees are also performing their duties.
Su Shaoze came to inspect his territory today, and he was accompanied by his economic advisor, Ye Tianci! "Boss, since we have acquired the Bu's Cinemas, should we continue the acquisition plan of the Lisheng Cinemas?" "Of course, we must continue, and buy the Lisheng Cinemas as well, and join my Su's Cinemas!" Su Shaoze said immediately.
What is the most profitable business in history?
monopoly!
As long as the Lisheng cinema chain is won, 60% of the cinemas on Hong Kong Island will go to Su Shaoze.
At that time, there will be only one Golden Harvest Cinema Line left, but in the face of the huge size of the Su Family Cinema Line, the Golden Harvest Cinema Line and other small independent theaters can only struggle to support it.
At that time, Su Shaoze would monopolize the superstructure of Hong Kong Island movies and grasp the lifeblood of Hong Kong Island movies.
Moreover, the acquisition of Lisheng Cinemas is to eliminate the golden princess in the bud, thus cutting off the new city.
Let Xinyicheng, the overlord of Hong Kong Island movies in the 1980s, become the satellite company of Su Films! "But boss, we don't have enough funds!"
The acquisition of Lisheng Cinemas will cost at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars. If there are other competitors, the price will be even higher.
Su Shaoze only has 40 million clean money left!
After thinking for a while, Su Shaoze shook his head full of distress and said, "Only the last resort is left, let's mortgage Butterfly Bay again",! "If you don't have any money, you can get a loan, anyway, Butterfly Bay is still in Su Shaoze's hands.
The last time I mortgaged 60 million from HSBC, and now the land price in Butterfly Bay has been rising, it should be able to lend 80 million!
"Lao Ye, the money is always not enough! Is there any way to make money quickly?" Su Shaoze complained.
Of course he knew that the ways to make quick money were written in the law!
It's not like Su Shaoze hasn't done things like kidnapping and extorting money, but it's very troublesome to wash the money, and it takes a long time!
Hearing Su Shaoze's complaint, Ye Tianci smiled: "It's normal for a businessman to not have enough money to spend. No investor lives with a pile of cash, and they all move forward with debt."
"If you want to make quick money, get stocks!" Ye said.
"Like Wharf?" Su Shaoze said. He had already experienced the power of Wharf stocks, which directly doubled his investment.
But such an opportunity is rare!
"Boss, you did a wonderful job in the Wharf battle, but that was the most basic operation of stocks." Ye Tianci shook his head and said.
"If you want to make money with stocks, you have to be a bookmaker. One way is to identify a stock to operate, raise its stock price, then sell it at a high level and cash out."
"Or buy some junk companies, repackage them, and send good news to drive up the stock price.
"The first method has certain risks and is likely to lead to an investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The latter method is more secure, reasonable and legal, but it will take longer."
The 1980s was the time when stocks on Hong Kong Island were the most popular. Many people took out their hard-earned money to invest in stocks under the tricks of others.
Today's stock market is very strong, and it's not a problem to pack those junk stocks.
First make money when stocks are hot, and wait until the stock market crash in 1981 before shorting.
Ye's first method was on the edge of the law, but the second Su Shaoze felt as if he had seen this method before.
"Lao Ye, pay attention to the shares of the Carrian Group. If you have the opportunity, buy as much as you can." Su Shaoze said suddenly.
It seems that there is a scam called Carrian, which seems to be using this method to swindle a lot of money.
First released false information to raise the group's share price, and then cashed out at a high price. This scam was the most sensational thing on Hong Kong Island that year.
In fact, it is similar to a Ponzi scheme, but the method is different.
Everyone else has already set up the stage for you, how can Su Shaoze not come on stage and sing a play?
Just get out of the game before the scam is exposed!
In fact, after the stock price of Carrian reached an all-time high of 18 yuan around November 1980, it could no longer be hidden due to the impact of the Sino-British negotiation, and began to slowly avalanche.
How much is Carrian's stock right now?
Three for four!
"]Okay, boss!" Ye Tianci nodded and said, the acquisition of stocks was a trivial matter for him.
"But for the sake of convenience and safety, we'd better recruit a group of operators and set up a financial company, so that the inflow and outflow of funds will be easier to operate." Ye Tianci suggested.
After thinking about it, Su Shaoze nodded: "You are right, it is indeed more convenient and safer to have a financial company of our own."
Su Shaoze had always been in charge of stock operations in the securities department of HSBC.
