The script written by An Yang made slow progress, so he had to ask Lin Xiaoguang, a great writer, for help.
For the sake of the child in his belly, he relented and pondered for a while, deciding whether to leave out the story, characters, and plot that she had written earlier, and just start over and write a new story.
The script is adapted from "Slumdog Millionaire" and is called "Estate Millionaire".
The general storyline is not much different from the former one, both are taken from a TV program called "Who Will Be a Millionaire", but in the specific details, it needs to be localized and become more Hong Kong-specific.
For example, when eating noodles, the heroine can ask the hero: "Are you hungry? I'll feed you some?"
For another example, when the female protagonist returns to the boss of the club, the male protagonist can ask: "Can you not go?" The female protagonist then asks back: "If you don't go, will you support me?" The male protagonist is silent and waits for the female protagonist to reach the end of the path. , and then shouted: "I will support you!"
There are many more, etc...
Anyway, when eating, you can’t have curry rice, only barbecued pork, roast goose, and chicken. You must have food stalls. Afternoon tea can also be put in. In addition to these, you can also put some advertising in it, MSK fast food restaurant , COCO drinks, Master Kong instant noodles, etc...
Adapting a script is easier than writing a script completely, but it is not that easy to localize it without flaws.
He worked hard for several days before writing an outline and beginning.
Then Anyang took the time to read it and was immediately attracted by the storyline inside.
"Xiaoguang, you are so awesome. I found that you are more suitable to be a screenwriter than me. How about I talk to the general manager and transfer you to work with me as a colleague." She gave a thumbs up and admired her heartily.
During this period, Anyang became too clingy after becoming pregnant. It was too late for him to hide. As for going to Phoenix Pictures, it was even more impossible.
"Okay, as long as you're happy." He smiled.
Anyway, it’s impossible for Minister Fei to let him go, so it doesn’t hurt to give him a promise now. Isn’t it just a blank check? Who is afraid of whom?
Anyang seemed to only care about his attitude. As for whether he was telling the general manager, she didn't really care. Anyway, forget it when he was happy. If he made her unhappy one day, he could do this at that time.
Leisure days are always short. After a few days of leisure, Lin Xiaoguang received a reply from the old man in his hometown.
Perhaps because he was worried that the content inside involved the national army and was relatively sensitive, the old man wrote a letter and mailed it to Shenzhen Town. After Lei Meng received it, he took the opportunity of going south to the headquarters to report on his work and ran to Xiangjiang to report the letter to him. Put the letter in his hands.
"As far as I know over the past twenty years, your grandpa's family is very small, and he has a few wives, but there are only two children, your mother and your brother-in-law, so there is no possibility of any aunt or posthumous child. You should think too much, there are many people with imaginary looks in the world, so don’t ask for trouble."
The old man was illiterate at first, but later he followed the team and learned half a basket of Chinese characters. His handwriting is extremely ugly and ordinary people cannot imitate it. Moreover, he also has this tone of voice, so there is no doubt about it.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoguang finally felt relieved.
Of course, this kind of thing didn't happen in his previous life, let alone distant relatives from Taiwan. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he had relatives overseas, and he didn't know how envious others would be. He had also fantasized about it back then, after all, his grandfather had done it. An officer of the national army might have a concubine, a mistress, or the like, but there were none from the beginning to the end.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. You are handsome, elegant, and suave. It seems that I have thought too much. I would like to apologize to you here. Next time I go back to my hometown, I will burn paper for you."
After all the mumbling, this matter is finally over.
The next day, Jiang Shanshan came to his door and reported to him about the recent listing of Qinhuai Industrial.
Currently, there are four stock exchanges in Hong Kong.
The Heung Kong Stock Brokers Association was established in 1891. It was renamed the Heung Kong Stock Exchange in 1914. In 1921, a second stock exchange, the Heung Kong Securities Brokers Association, was established. In 1947, the two exchanges merged into the Heung Kong Securities Exchange.
Ltd.
However, please note that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at that time was mainly managed by British people, and most of the listed companies were British-owned enterprises.
In the late 1960s, Hong Kong's economy took off, and Chinese-owned companies had an increasing demand for listings to raise funds, which led to the opening of more exchanges owned and managed by Chinese investors. The Far East Exchange, the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange and the Kowloon Stock Exchange successively
With its establishment, the Xiangjiang Securities Market entered the so-called "Four Meetings Era" in which four exchanges coexisted.
The stock market crash in 1973-1974 fully exposed various shortcomings caused by the coexistence of the four securities markets in Hong Kong.
Last year, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited was incorporated.
The Stock Exchange is currently seeking to merge and reorganize with the other four exchanges, but progress is slow and full of difficulties.
It won't be officially merged until 1986.
Therefore, now, the three companies under Qinhuai Industrial are fairly large and it is entirely possible to list them in batches on major stock exchanges, although each company has a market value of at most 200 million.
"How about it?"
"The stock exchange feels that the size is a bit small. If the parent company is listed, it may be considered. HSBC can serve as an underwriter in this regard, but the coaching fees, sponsorship fees, and underwriting fees add up to a high price." Jiang Shanshan reported one by one.
"Where is the Far East Institute?" Lin Xiaoguang lowered his voice, fearing to wake Anyang who was still napping, otherwise he would be jealous again when he saw Jiang Shanshan.
"The Far East Institute welcomes Qinhuai Food. The valuation is tentatively set at 50 million, and a team will be sent to conduct an audit specifically."
This is good news. Almost half of Qinhuai Industrial's monthly revenue of RMB 5 million is generated by MSK Fast Food. According to this calculation, Qinhuai Catering's valuation is no problem at 100 million, and the total should be 200 million, which is okay.
"Where is the Kowloon Club?"
"Kowloon Club's valuation of Qinhuai Beverages is relatively low. After all, Very Coke is obviously a copycat of Coca-Cola, and our Snow Beer is not famous, and Dukang Liquor is not famous either. Only Youlemei Milk Tea and Manka are famous locally. Considering
At this point, the valuation is only 30 million, and the details need to be audited."
Well, it is true that a popular brand cannot be established in a short time. The rise of Very Coca-Cola has a long way to go, so does Snow Beer, and even more so Dukang Liquor.
take it easy.
"What about the Stock Exchange and Qinhuai Catering? It shouldn't be low, right?"
"After all, the Stock Exchange was newly established, and they value us very much. They guarantee a minimum of 120 million. However, they have a condition. They hope to list all three companies on the Stock Exchange. Qinhuai Food can give 60 million, Qinhuai Beverage 40 million, and
Standard Chartered Bank can act as an underwriter with relatively low fees."
The emergence of Standard Chartered Bank is not surprising to Lin Xiaoguang. The merger of the four exchanges was promoted by the British Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has a British capital background, and the newly established Stock Exchange has a British capital background.
He doesn't care much about British capital and Chinese capital. After all, they will be merged in the future.
However, the main trap for this wave of listings is the money of British people, so if it can be placed on a British-owned exchange, it must be placed here.
So it seems that the only option is the Stock Exchange?
He immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's get in-depth contact with the Stock Exchange."
