"Sanmao, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would have gotten into trouble!"
At this time, after listening to Hong Jinbao's description of Wu Jianye, Deng Guangyi's domineering attitude no longer existed, and was replaced by lingering fear.
In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand. The reason why Deng Guangyi thinks he is awesome is because of his seniority in the Hong Kong film industry. He considers himself a veteran and has never been patient with newcomers, so even Wu Jianye
Having won the Golden Lion Award, in his eyes he is just a newcomer to Hong Kong with some qualifications.
Secondly, because of his position in the club, although he is not the talker of the club, the talker of the club is his Qi Ye, and he is one of the biggest water pipes in their club, so naturally he does not take ordinary people seriously.
.
But after knowing Wu Jianye's identity and status, especially after cleaning up Chen's toys and his true status in Fengge Entertainment, his little capital was not enough for Wu Jianye.
Capital has always been king in Xiangjiang.
To put it simply, if you have money, show it off. It’s such a simple and simple truth.
Besides, with Wu Jianye's relationship with the Mainland, he had to be even more frightened. Xiangjiang is very strange now. Although many people look down on the Mainland, they have a strong fear of the Mainland government...
..
The eldest brother hit the iron plate this time, and he happily admitted his defeat, so he asked Hong Jinbao to be the intermediary. He wanted to apologize to Wu Jianye in person.
A man is a man who can bend and stretch...
Hong Jinbao couldn't refute Deng Guangyi's face, so he called Wu Jianye that night and explained Deng Guangyi's attitude.
Regarding Hong Jinbao, Wu Jianye naturally wanted to give face. After all, it was Hong Jinbao and others who saved him that night, so he smiled and said: "Ignorance is not guilty. Besides, Brother Sanmao is the guarantee, so don't mention this matter again in the future!"
"
"As for Deng Guangyi, he wants to apologize to Wu Sheng in person..."
"No, just tell him directly that this time I am giving you brother Sanmao face. Forget about the apology, just let him buy you a drink!"
Wu Jianye was also happy to sell Hong Jinbao a favor.
"Haha, then I'll thank Wu Sheng for him!"
A moderate storm passed just like that, but the subsequent impact was not over. There were almost no secrets in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, and this matter was soon spread out.
This actually also brings a benefit, that is, after Wu Jianye leaves and Gong Yin officially joins the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, there will be no Xiaoxiao to bully her...
.......
"Wu, Quincy Jones hopes to speak to you!"
Wu Jianye from Xiangjiang suddenly received a call from Linda.
Wu Jianye: "Quincy Jones?"
Linda: "Yes, Quincy Jones is one of the greatest music producers in the United States. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was composed by him in 1982. He found me this time and hopes to have a call with you!"
Wu Jianye was slightly stunned, thinking that the other party wanted to make an album with him, so he refused: "Forget it, tell him that I don't have the inspiration to write songs now!"
Linda quickly said: "He is not looking for you to make an album for you, but Michael Jackson composed a song and wants to invite the world's top singers to participate in the recording of this song!"
Wu Jianye asked curiously: "What are they doing? Forget it, just let him tell me!"
Then Wu Jianye heard a slightly excited voice: "Hello kun, I am Quincy Jones, and this is what happened..."
With the introduction of Quincy Jones, Wu Jianye finally knew what happened.
It turns out that there was a famine in Ethiopia this year, and Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, two people with extremely high status in the American music scene, wanted to imitate the European music scene and record a song and sell the proceeds as a donation to Ethiopia.
Kun, as the most popular rock singer in the United States in the past two years, Quincy Jones naturally hopes to invite Wu Jianye to participate in the recording of this song.
After listening to Quincy Jones's narration, Wu Jianye thought for a moment. This should be the prelude to next year's concert. This concert is called the greatest concert in history. Almost all the famous rock bands in the world will
join.
After thinking for a while, Wu Jianye asked: "When was the recording time of this song?"
"January 28th next year!" Quincy Jones said.
"Okay, I will arrive on time then!" Wu Jianye agreed.
Wu Jianye happens to be traveling to the United States next year, so it would be nice to be able to take the time to record this song with them, and at the same time, be able to show off his skills.
Quincy Jones was also very excited when he heard that Wu Jianye agreed. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the first time that Kun appeared as a singer in the United States. You can imagine the sensation it caused.
After confirming again, Quincy Jones hung up the phone.
Then I expressed my gratitude to Linda at Phantom Entertainment and went back.
I found Michael Jackson and said excitedly: "Michael, kun agreed to come over!"
Michael Jackson was also very excited after hearing this, "That's great!"
Quincy Jones: "How's your songwriting going?"
Michael Jackson: “It’s not written yet!”
Quincy Jones: "..."
.......
Wu Jianye, who was far away in Xiangjiang, naturally didn't know that Michael Jackson had not written the lyrics yet, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The real reason why he went to the United States was to get a loan. It would be 85 years ago.
, RB’s leeks can also be harvested. Wu Jianye will naturally not give up this opportunity. As long as he seizes this opportunity, it can be said that the foundation of Wu Jianye’s business empire will be solid.
And it's still very solid.
However, before going to the United States, Wu Jianye sorted out his properties in Hong Kong.
Although most of Wu Jianye's fixed assets are in China, the headquarters of domestic factories are all located in Xiangjiang.
Splendid clothing!
Although the factory of Jinxiu Garment is in China, the headquarters of Jinxiu Garment is in Xiangjiang. Now Jinxiu Garment relies on domestic development and low-cost labor to start to seize the market in Xiangjiang and throughout Southeast Asia. Now it is Xiangjiang.
There are countless clothing companies.
The market value has exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Cold drink!
The holding of this year's Olympic Games has led to the sudden emergence of Jianlibao, a cold water beverage, and has become the most famous beverage in the country. However, due to its short time, the asset valuation is not high, only 50 million Hong Kong dollars.
Tunan Technology!
Tunan Technology claims to have invested US$20 million in Shanghai, but even now it is only in the midst of six consecutive investments. It will take some time to reach the investment amount of US$20,000, but Tunan Technology will have it next year.
They are preparing to introduce foreign production lines for color TVs, refrigerators and other household appliances. Then it will be time for them to put their efforts into use.
Phantom Entertainment!
To say that Wu Jianye's most profitable company in Hong Kong is Phantom Entertainment. Since its establishment, no Hong Kong movie produced by this company has grossed more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office.
The "Five Lucky Stars" series, the "Mr. Zombie" series, the "Fortune" series, plus the "A Better Tomorrow" series to be released next year, are all invested by Phantom Entertainment.
The revenue these series of movies have brought to Phantom Entertainment throughout Southeast Asia has exceeded HK$500 million!
Yuzhi Investment Company!
That is the investment company that Yan Wen is now in charge of. Wu Jianye originally invested 3,000,000 Hong Kong dollars, and now holds more than 5,000,000 Hong Kong dollars in stocks of major companies.
Taihua Real Estate!
The investment of this company is relatively dispersed. Although Yanwen is officially the general manager, he hires professional managers to manage it. Most of the investment is used to purchase properties in Xiangjiang, and he does not formally invest in building his own properties.
However, Wu Jianye has decided that after the end of the 1985 Plaza Agreement, Taihua Real Estate will fully enter the real estate industry in Xiangjiang.
The most important thing left is Yaoguang Group, which cooperates with Guo Henian to build the International Trade Center in China!
The establishment of Yaoguang Group directly invested US$100 million. Although there are no projects in Xiangjiang, the Guomao project alone has made many consortiums in Xiangjiang pay attention to Yaoguang Group!
In order to facilitate the loan, Wu Jianye called Zhou Tao and Zhao Lei to Xiangjiang. He planned to take this opportunity to formally reorganize Yaoguang Group!
In other words, Wu Jianye will merge all the above companies into Yaoguang Group!
However, this is only a temporary strategy. When these companies grow in the future, they will definitely need to be split up again. As for whether they should go public, that is another matter.
This is not a project that can be implemented immediately after Wu Jianye gives an order. The finance and human resources of each company involved are very complicated matters.
After more than 20 days of preparation, Yaoguang Group has finally completed its reorganization.
Yaoguang Group’s holding company remains Cayman Islands’ Shanhai Investments.
Among them, because Jinxiu Garment, Hanshui Beverage, and Yuzhi Investment were to be merged, Zhou Tao, Zhao Lei, and Yan Wen naturally became shareholders and directors of Yaoguang Group.
However, their shareholding is pitifully small.
The largest shareholding is Zhou Tao with only 1.13%, followed by Yanwen with 0.62% of the shares, and finally Zhao Lei with only 0.47% of the shares.
The remaining 97.78% of the shares are all held by Shanhai Investment.
After the group reorganization was completed, Yaoguang Group instantly became a large group with a market value of over 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. Of course, it cannot be compared with the large consortiums in Hong Kong today.
However, Wu Jianye believes that Yaoguang Group will become a giant before long.
After handling the matter in Xiangjiang, Wu Jianye rushed to Los Angeles with Yan Wen.
The first thing I did when I came to Los Angeles was to sort out my career in the United States.
In the United States it's not that complicated.
The only company owned by Shanhai Investment is Phantom Entertainment.
But after a year of development, Phantom Entertainment's development in Hollywood can be described as a sudden rise.
In the first year of its establishment, they launched the Christmas family-friendly comedy movie "Home Alone". With a small investment, they made a net profit of nearly 100 million US dollars in the United States with an investment of 18 million US dollars. In addition to this
After being released in Europe for one year, as well as the sales of video tapes, TV broadcast rights, and peripheral products, this movie alone brought nearly 200 million US dollars in revenue to Phantom Entertainment.
At the same time, although the second "Home Alone" released last Christmas attracted investment from Universal Entertainment, it also brought a net income of more than 50 million US dollars to Phantom Entertainment when it was released. With the help of Universal Entertainment
In European channels, the film’s net box office revenue reached US$100 million.
Moreover, within this year, Phantom Entertainment also invested in "The Terminator", which was ignored in Hollywood before filming started. Although the box office of this movie did not achieve the same dazzling box office as "Home Alone", it still hit more than 7,000 in North America.
With a box office of 10,000 US dollars, Phantom Entertainment earned over 20 million US dollars in revenue.
The most important thing is that this movie caused a storm in the video tape market, becoming one of the most popular video tape movies in 1984, and the revenue it brought directly exceeded 50 million US dollars!
At the same time, as the general manager of Phantom Entertainment, Linda also invested in several independent films. Although there were profits and losses, the overall situation was still gratifying, and she also created more than 10 million US dollars in revenue!
In 1984, Phantom Entertainment's annual revenue even exceeded one or two of the six major companies.
Linda was the most excited about such brilliant results. After all, Wu Jianye knew the power of "Home Alone" and "Terminator".
But Linda is different. When Phantom Entertainment was established, Wu Jianye invested US$25.5 million, Shanhai Investment held 85% of the shares, and Linda invested US$4.5 million, accounting for 15%.
If we only go by the income on paper, Linda's income last year was more than 6 million US dollars, which is more than 13 times the profit. This is enough to make Linda crazy.
At the same time, Wu Jianye himself also has the benefits of "Jurassic Park" and "Surprise", which means that Wu Jianye can now use more than 350 million US dollars in the United States without using a loan!
With this information, Wu Jianye walked into the headquarters of Morgan Bank in New York...
"Sorry, sir, our bank's personal loan project is not handled here. If you need it, I can introduce you to our bank's personal credit manager!"
After arriving at the headquarters of Morgan Bank, Wu Jianye found the manager of corporate loans, but the other party thought he was here to apply for a personal loan!
Wu Jianye didn't want to slap her in the face, but Linda was not satisfied with it. This year, she was having a smooth life in Hollywood and was no longer the young reporter she was before.
Looking at Linda who was about to get mad, Wu Jianye said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't worry about this, let them find the general manager quickly!"
Linda didn't know what to say when she saw the big boss, so she gave her name. When the other party heard that the person who came was actually the chairman and general manager of Hollywood upstart Phantom Entertainment, she didn't dare to neglect, so she immediately ran out to find the boss.
Manager.
The general manager of the loan department of Morgan Bank was not a member of the Morgan family. In fact, at this time, the Morgan family had begun to step behind the scenes, and almost everything outside was managed by professional managers.
However, when the other party found out that Wu Jianye wanted a loan of US$300 million, he couldn't help but be surprised!
