Seeing his daughter's disapproval, Zou Renhuai sighed secretly. This daughter is good at everything, but she is too arrogant and has a tense relationship with the old brothers in Jiahe, and her two sons have no interest in the film and television industry.
, coupled with the decline of the Hong Kong film industry, so Zou Renhuai had the idea of selling Golden Harvest.
Originally, he wanted to sell Golden Harvest to a mainland film and television company. After all, Golden Harvest was his lifelong effort and he could not just disappear into the film and television industry. However, after receiving an invitation from Liu Dong to acquire Golden Harvest, Zou Renhuai changed his mind.
!
Liu Dong, who has abundant capital, promising prospects and deep connections in the mainland, is a good investment target.
Therefore, Zou Renhuai wanted to use the sale of Jiahe to establish a good cooperative relationship with Liu Dong and provide another strong support for the future development of the Zou family!
Because there was this active invitation from Zou Renhuai.
Liu Dong didn't know Zou Renhuai's plan, but he was willing to go to the appointment despite having nothing to do. After all, this matter was very helpful for both the acquisition of Jiahe and the expansion of his contacts in Hong Kong!
Therefore, after having lunch at noon and taking a short rest at home, Liu Dong drove to the Mid-Levels Villa Area. This is also the second largest gathering place for luxury homes in Hong Kong after Repulse Bay.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Liu's visit will make my little place shine!"
Seeing Liu Dong get off the car, Zou Renhuai, who was waiting in front of the door, smiled and greeted him.
"Mr. Zou is too polite!"
"Hey, I'm telling the truth, Mr. Liu is now famous in the business world!"
Facing Zou Renhuai's compliment, Liu Dong smiled lightly. After Time Magazine exposed his news, Liu Dong never thought about keeping a low profile.
"Mr. Liu, please come inside!"
"Mr. Zou, please go first!"
As soon as the two of them walked into the door together, Liu Dong heard the crisp sound of wind chimes. He raised his head and glanced at the wind chimes hanging in the entrance hall and the landscape screen opposite the door. He immediately understood that this was the Feng Shui bureau of the house.
"Mr. Liu also knows Feng Shui?" After noticing Liu Dong's eyes, Zou Renhuai asked with a smile.
“Just knowing a little bit doesn’t mean you understand!”
I have long known that Feng Shui metaphysics in Hong Kong is far more popular than in the mainland, especially among Hong Kong's richest people. Most of them believe in it. However, Liu Dong really has no talent for Feng Shui metaphysics! So he didn't want to talk too much with Zou Renhuai on this, so he just said a few words.
Afterwards, he bypassed the entrance hall and came to the living room.
After the two of them were seated, the servant next to them also brought the tea.
"I know Mr. Liu likes to drink tea, so I specially prepared this premium Biluochun!" Zou Renhuai said with a smile.
"Biluochun is a good thing!"
Smiling, Liu Dong picked up the tea cup. Before he picked up the lid, a refreshing fragrance still flowed into the tip of his nose.
Biluochun tea has a history of more than 1,000 years. The local people first called it Dongting tea, also known as frightening fragrance. According to legend, a nun went to the mountains for a spring outing and picked a few tea leaves. After brewing the tea, the fragrance hit her nose.
Therefore, the local people called this tea "Scaring People Fragrance". During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi tasted this famous tea with green soup color and curls like a snail during his inspection. He greatly appreciated it, but felt that "
Its name is not elegant, so it was named "Biluochun".
Lifting the lid of the cup, a white steam rose up, and a richer aroma hit his nostrils. Looking at the green-green tea and the tea leaves curled like snails, Liu Dong couldn't help but lower his head and take a sip.
Suddenly, a stream of sweet tea like melon and fruit melted in your mouth. When this sweet tea went down your throat, warmth melted in your stomach. For a moment, it seemed that all the pores in your body were filled with this sweet and refreshing scent.
The tea is open!
Liu Dong, who closed his eyes and thought for a long time, couldn't help but praise after taking three sips: "It is indeed a good tea, Mr. Zou is very thoughtful!"
The reason why I say this is mainly because Liu Dong has already tasted such fragrant Biluochun from this tea. Unless it is the top grade special tribute, it will not have such a taste.
"Haha, as long as Mr. Liu likes it!"
After placing the finished tea cup on the table, Liu Dong looked directly at Zou Renhuai and said with a smile: "Mr. Zou, the tea is finished, should we talk about business next?"
"certainly!"
Seeing the smiling face of the other party, Liu Dong secretly cursed a treacherous person, and then directly stated his conditions, "ATV is willing to use 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire 4% of the shares of Golden Harvest Pictures from Mr. Zou. I wonder if Mr. Zou agrees?"
"
Faced with Liu Dong's question, Zou Renhuai did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked: "Mr. Liu, I have always had a question in my mind. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
"Mr. Zou, it's okay to ask. As long as I know, I will never hide it!"
After nodding, Zou Renhuai said: "Now almost everyone understands that the Hong Kong film and television industry is in decline. Why would Mr. Liu fall in love with Golden Harvest? Even if Mr. Liu is interested in investing in the film and television industry, I think there are many film and television companies in the mainland with the development potential.
Bigger is also a better choice!”
Facing Zou Renhuai's inquiry, Liu Dong smiled.
"Actually, this question is easy to explain!"
"I would like to hear the details!" Zou Renhuai said.
"First of all, Hong Kong has always been China's Hong Kong, and Hong Kong movies are also Chinese movies. And with today's censorship system, there is no big difference between Hong Kong movies released in the mainland and mainland movies! Secondly, Golden Harvest, as the most famous old film company in Hong Kong, has
With an inventory of more than 600 movies, a very complete production and distribution system, and deep connections, these are Jiahe's most valuable assets, and more importantly, Jiahe owns theaters!"
Ever since "Lord of the Rings" had to give up more profits to Time Warner due to poor international distribution capabilities of New Line, Liu Dong understood the importance of theaters and distribution to a film and television company. Although Golden Harvest has declined,
But it owns more than ten film and television cities and more than 200 theaters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Nanyang and other places. This is an asset that any film and television company will covet! It is also a guarantee of profits.
"...Finally, because ATV is in Hong Kong, I chose Jiahe, which is also located in Hong Kong!" He glanced at Zou Renhuai, who looked thoughtful, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zou is satisfied with this explanation?"
"Haha, satisfied, of course satisfied!" nodded, Zou Renhuai changed the subject, "The last question is, if Mr. Liu buys Jiahe, how do you plan to operate it? Will you just do distribution and theaters, or do you plan to start film production again?
!”
Liu Dong answered without hesitation this time, "I think Mr. Zou also understands that the core of a film and television company is film production. Naturally, when I buy Golden Harvest, I will not just let it do theaters and distribution. And I can cooperate with Mr. Zou
I guarantee that the funds invested in Jiahe’s film production every year will not be less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars! Within five years, I will not take any profit from the company, and will invest all of it in the development of the company!”
Zou Renhuai's eyes lit up, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Liu can rest assured, Jiahe is my life-long effort, I hope Mr. Liu can treat it well!"
"Mr. Zou, please rest assured that Jiahe will develop even stronger in the future!" Liu Dongxin said.
"I believe Mr. Liu's ability is enough to make Golden Harvest the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry, and even the Chinese film industry!" After a pause, Zou Renhuai changed the topic after glancing at Liu Dong, "I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks about Hong Kong.
Is there any interest from industry?”
"Hong Kong real estate?" Liu Dong's heart moved.
"Does Mr. Zou have any good projects on his hands?"
"A 250-acre plot of land on Queen's Road in Sheung Wan will be auctioned in half a month. If Mr. Liu is interested, we can cooperate in the development!"
Looking at Zou Renhuai's sparkling eyes, Liu Dong suddenly smiled, "Of course I am interested in such a good thing, but I am very curious, why is Mr. Zou looking for me? I think in Hong Kong, whether it is Hutchison Whampoa or Zhaoji Real Estate,
A better choice, and Mr. Zou is closer to Mr. Li Ka-shing and Mr. Lee Shau-kee than me, right?"
"Haha, the most important thing in business cooperation is the sincerity and strength of both parties, not the closeness of the relationship!" As soon as he finished speaking, looking at Liu Dong's unmoved look, Zou Renhuai knew that if he didn't show some sincerity, he might be
It’s hard to convince the other party!
"As Mr. Liu just said, Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. Hong Kong's real estate industry has reached its peak, and the vast mainland market has endless opportunities, so I hope to cooperate with Mr. Liu's Huayang Group to develop real estate in the mainland.
market!"
"As expected!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
More than half of Hong Kong's richest people made their fortunes in the real estate industry, and Zou Renhuai invested in Hong Kong's real estate industry in the last century. This allowed him to take the initiative to invite himself to the door, and he wanted to cooperate with the mainland's currently booming real estate industry.
market, and this is also the most coveted piece of meat in the entire Hong Kong business community. Now Zou Renhuai also wants to take the opportunity to cooperate with him and enter the mainland to take a bite!
And the so-called real estate project on Queen's Road East is probably just a teaser put forward by the other party!
Of course, if the land can be obtained, the two parties will naturally cooperate to develop it.
"Since Mr. Zou wants to cooperate with me, I am naturally very happy!" Liu Dong thought for a while and said.
Zou Renhuai wants to enter the mainland real estate market, and Liu Dong also wants to take this opportunity to enter the Hong Kong real estate market. Whether it is Hong Kong or the mainland, Liu Dong is not something that Liu Dong can swallow alone. He has roped in a few like-minded friends to cooperate in development
, why not deepen the connection with each other!
Moreover, with Zou Renhuai’s connections in Hong Kong, Huayang Group’s entry into Hong Kong will also reduce a lot of troubles. This principle also applies to Zou Renhuai, so this is also a matter of mutual benefit. (To be continued.)
