Chapter 28 Only talk about business month(1/2)

Yin Jun did not expect that Shao Yifu was so reluctant.

By the next day, Shao Yifu was like nothing happened and asked Yin Jun to go out for coffee.

After thinking about it, Yin Jun agreed and took a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui in the afternoon.

Funny to say, the two were at the closest wireless TVB headquarters and Marconi Dao, but they wanted to talk about things but had to go through the entire Kowloon and go to the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui together.

Needless to say, the reputation of Peninsula Hotel is here. Basically, people who have been to Xiangjiang have seen this hotel. It is the only way to the Star Ferry. The hotel with a huge fountain is.

Oh, by the way, it's 78 years now, and that huge fountain has not been built yet.

Including the 30-story new hotel building behind it, it had to be built in 1994. There is still only a short "mouth" character that lacks the horizontal semi-paper building on the top. Moreover, its logo is still on the side, and the surroundings are somewhat bare, far from the close-to-side buildings like later generations.

Speaking of Tianxing Little Rover, the most important cheap transportation tool for Xiangjiang people, is actually quite interesting. The price on the upper level is 2 mm5 and the price on the lower level is 2 mm. In 1966, because the price on the Xiangjiang people wanted to increase the price by 5 cents, there was a demonstration.

In today's terms, this is not a question of whether or not money is a matter of habits and dignity.

The Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang was opened in 1928. In fact, its parent company, Xiangjiang Huhai Hotel Co., Ltd., originally opened a hotel in Shanghai, and Xiangjiang was opened later.

However, the British-funded group was in a hurry to withdraw and could not handle the assets in Shanghai, so in the end they could only retain this peninsula hotel in Xiangjiang.

It was not until the 1980s that as Xiangjiang's economy continued to improve, the hotel group continued to expand, and even returned to Shanghai to build a Peninsula Hotel and returned to the place where it first started its business.

However, Peninsula Hotel has a very good tradition, that is, to maintain tradition, and there will be no changes except for the necessary renewal and renovation of old equipment and facilities.

I went to the interior of the Peninsula Hotel in 1978 and saw what they looked like, and it was the same when I went there in 2020.

The seats, bowls, dishes, tableware, chandeliers, carpets... are all the same as they were decades ago, but they will be replaced with a new batch every once in a while.

This gives a strong nostalgic atmosphere, but it does not make people feel worn, but it is as warm as ever.

Moreover, the Peninsula Hotel has a very strong British style, and many British people like to come here to reminisce about their situation when they were in their motherland.

Also, when Shao Yifu came to Xiangjiang in the 1950s, the Xiangjiang River was very desolate and it was rare to have such a good place as the Peninsula Hotel, so he went to the Peninsula Hotel to have afternoon tea whenever he had time.

At that time, Lu Yuntao, the boss of Dianmao, the son of Singapore's richest man, also liked to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel. In this way, the owners of the two most famous film companies in Xiangjiang have come. Don't those celebrities learn from them?

Therefore, over time, the Peninsula Hotel's cafe has become the favorite place for celebrities in Hong Kong to visit.

With the help of celebrities, ordinary gold-collar workers think that the place is of high quality, so they also want to come here to sit.

So after the 1980s, when many people wanted to go to the cafe of the Xiangjiang Peninsula Hotel, they had to stand in the corridor and wait for the people in front to leave before they could get in.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, guests staying at Peninsula Hotel can enter the cafe anytime, anywhere.

It is naturally impossible for Shao Yifu to stand there and wait, so he has a long-term private room in the Peninsula Hotel and will not stay there. But with this qualification, he will never wait for a seat when he goes to a cafe at any time.

In the future, there will be many big stars and rich people, and they will do the same as Shao Yifu.

However, the houses in Peninsula Hotel are not cheap. A room is at least 200 yuan a day now, and the monthly subscription is up to 5,000 yuan, and a year is as high as about 50,000 yuan. Compared with the monthly salary of about 900 yuan in Xiangjiang people, it is really a luxury waste.

Yin Jun hates such waste, so he often goes to Xingji Tea Restaurant. You can just call Brother Xing in advance, and it’s not expensive to eat and drink a lot. Why do you want to come here to pay attention to the style?

In his past and present life, Yin Jun entered the Peninsula Hotel for the first time and entered its cafe.

In his previous life, Yin Jun lived in the Meitu Building near the Peninsula Hotel for more than 200 days. Although they were all small houses renovated by apartments, they were all well-organized.

Yin Jun felt it was unnecessary in this life.

When there is not much money, the most important thing is to use it where it should be used.

In addition to some necessary expenses, Yin Jun rarely spends money on places where he enjoys it. This is not that Yin Jun treats himself badly, but that at the age of 16, if he starts to think about enjoying it, how can he work hard to achieve a career?

Anyone who likes to enjoy when he is young will definitely not have much prospects.

Yin Jun reported Shao Yifu's name, so naturally a waiter took Yin Jun to Shao Yifu's table.

Shao Yifu was drinking British black tea and slowly looking at the newspaper. In addition to the black teapot, there was a plate of snacks in front of him, and there was nothing else.

Yin Jun didn't care. He poured a cup of tea himself, sat down and ate two snacks before asking Shao Yifu: "Mr. Shao, come here, don't you let me appreciate your heroic posture when reading the newspaper, and then go back to promote it for you, how calm you are in the face of crisis, right?"

"Where did I have a crisis?" Shao Yifu put away the newspaper and said with a smile: "My "Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony" became popular yesterday. Many record companies called overnight and said they wanted to cooperate with wireless to give us more singer resources so that we can use them. I am happy!"

"You are so happy, I thought there was an awards ceremony broadcast every day." Yin Jun said seriously.

"Speaking of this, why are you so stingy?" Shao Yifu shrugged, "I'll tell you the truth. I really want a good variety show. I can't afford the price. Is it okay to have 1 million?"

Yin Jun looked at him with contempt, "Asakhi TV gave "Millionaire" 10 million in the first year. Do you think you have a lot of 1 million?"

"1 million won't work, 2 million won't work, 3 million won't work!" Shao Yifu didn't care about Yin Jun's words at all, "Or let's just share the money?"

"Forget it, I don't want you to overwhelm my "Millionaire" on variety shows." Yin Jun said, "Mr. Shao, just talk quickly. What do you want to do when you come to me today?"

Yin Jun didn't believe that someone as smart as Shao Yifu would chatter again when he had already said it was obvious.

Today he is looking for himself, he must be asking for other demands.

Seeing Yin Jun say this, Shao Yifu sighed, "June, you are too young, why are you so impetuous? Well, my old man doesn't delay your young man's time. I'm here to find you today. First, we want to make a movie called "Chu Liuxiang", how do we calculate the price?"

Yin Jun frowned, "You have already hired Qiu Guan?"

"Not bad." Shao Yifu was not surprised that Yin Jun was so smart. "When he came back from the UK, our movie could be started. Now the shortfall is your authorization."

While speaking, Shao Yifu couldn't hide his appreciation for Yin Jun.

This young man is really too experienced in doing things. Not only did he buy the copyright of "Chu Liuxiang", but he also directly bought the copyright of "Chu Liuxiang" Xiangjiang Film and Television. In addition to being confident in his own vision, he also thought deeply and knew what a chain reaction was.

In the past, someone laughed at Yin Jun for having money and nowhere to spend it. He bought "Chu Liuxiang", "The Two Sexys", "Little Li Flying Dagger" and Lu Xiaofeng's 5-year film and television adaptation rights in the Xiangjiang area. Can Gu Long's novel adaptation rights be that expensive?

But no one can laugh now.

"Chu Liuxiang" made Yin Jun earn nearly 6 million yuan, and the rest of the copyright was useless. He made so much money. Except for Yin Jun, there is really no other person who can do it.

Now because of the popularity of "Chu Liuxiang", Shao Yifu came to the door again. If he wanted to shoot the movie "Chu Liuxiang", he could only ask Yin Jun to buy the copyright.

You said that if it were those small film companies, they wouldn't have to buy copyright for Yin Jun. Anyway, after the filming started and after it was released, they would just part. Yin Jun had no choice but to find someone to settle the score.

The theater bosses don’t care whether your movie has been authorized or not. Anyway, they have collected money to show the number.

Shaw Pictures dare not do this. If they do this, how can they gain a foothold in the industry in the future?

So even if someone as stingy as Shao Yifu would come directly to ask Yin Jun for authorization.

He was also very confident that Yin Jun would agree.

Because even though Yin Jun is very vigilant about wireless TVB, this time he is filming movies, and the movie market is different from the TV series market and is not next to each other.

Zheng Shaoqiu's side is easy to handle.

After filming "Chu Liuxiang", the sequel will not start until the second half of this year. Zheng Shaoqiu has been very busy in the past two years. He thought it was quite good for such a rare rest for half a year, so he went to the UK with Fei Fei before the Spring Festival and has not come back now.

Anyway, Zheng Shaoqiu still has a high basic salary in the past six months, and there are still a lot of advertising and endorsement businesses to do, so he won’t be too idle.

Shao Yifu asked him to make a movie, so Zheng Shaoqiu naturally had nothing to do. He could earn more than 100,000 yuan in one month. Who wouldn’t want to?

Yin Jun pondered for a while.

After the TV series "Chu Liuxiang" in his previous life became popular, Shaw Brothers Pictures did ask Zheng Shaoqiu to film a movie version of "Chu Liuxiang", but the box office was not very outstanding.

But in the Nanyang area, this movie sold very well. Countless fans of Chu Xiangshuai were looking forward to it and contributed a box office to Shao Yifu, making the movie "Chu Liuxiang" earn tens of millions.

"I sell scripts and authorizations now, both of which are used to add dividends at the bottom price." Yin Jun said, "If Mr. Shao wants to buy authorization, I hope it will be a dividend of 1 million and 10% of the profits."

"Can you be more arrogant?" Shao Yifu was completely stunned. "This is not your script! This is just to authorize me. The scripts and personnel are all provided by me, Shaw. You don't have to do anything!"

"But that's the truth. Without my authorization, you can't make money by taking advantage of this east wind." Yin Jun said innocently, "Mr. Shao, if you eat meat, you can let me drink a sip of soup!"

"you……"

Shao Yifu finally resisted the urge to curse, "I will give you 500,000 yuan, and there is nothing in the box office dividend!"

"That won't work." Yin Jun blinked and looked at him gently: "Mr. Shao, let's talk about the next one!"

"600,000!" Shao Yifu took a deep breath and quoted a second price.

"We'd better talk about it later."

"1 million!" Shao Yifu glared at Yin Jun and said, "But you have to promise me a condition. Except for me, there will be no second authorization for "Chu Liuxiang" movie within half a year."

"Trade!" Yin Jun nodded neatly, "Now talk about the second business!"

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Shao Yifu could only take a sip of tea, relieved his anger a little before he had the heart to talk about the second business.

Thinking of Yin Jun's difficulty, Shao Yifu really had a headache.

It has been a long time since he tasted the feeling of being controlled by others. The traitor Li Hanxiang was so powerful that he came back in shame in three to five years?

Although Jiahe is powerful, after Li Xiaolong passed away, they were the Xu brothers. In terms of overall strength, how could they compare to Shaw Brothers?

Over the past few years, Shao Yifu has been going well, but he has been constantly defeated by Yin Jun, and he still can't do anything to him. And now he has to find him to do business and give him money. Do you think Shao Yifu is tired of being tired?

"The second one is also about Gu Long's novel licensing." Shao Yifu said, "We are going to film a TV series "The Two Glorious Ones". What do you think is the licensing fee of 100,000?"

"good!"

"If it is not suitable..." Shao Yifu stopped abruptly and looked at Yin Jun in surprise: "Don't you raise the price?"

"I don't want me to write scripts. Why do I want that much price?" Yin Jun spread his hands and said, "Mr. Shao, I have always been kind to do business, and we are also friends. The price of 100,000 yuan is considered to be my support for wireless!"

Ghosts are friends with you!

Shao Yifu was a little bit gritted in his heart.

And you dare to say you are kind?
