Chapter 332 Meeting with Qiu Degen (4000+ chapters~)
China Entertainment started from 198o. Main volume Chapter 332: Meeting with Qiu Degen, "Even without the support of Yaoguang Group, this Wu Jianye is not easy to deal with. Don't forget his other identity. In the past two years, he has been
Although he has never released an album, the influence of the album "Turn Out" is still there, as well as "Jurassic Park" which has been selling well for many years, which has brought him a lot of wealth. According to my
The income from the investigation of these two items alone is at least 30 million US dollars!"
Since Xie Wanqing hates Wu Jianye the most, he naturally also understands Wu Jianye the best. Of course, this kind of understanding is only what Wu Jianye showed in Xiangjiang and other places.
With the situation in China, she doesn't think a director can have any status in China.
Sitting next to Pan Disheng, Yang Ziqiong looked a little surprised. She also came from a well-known family in Malaysia, but US$30 million was an astronomical sum for her family. But she didn't expect that Wu Jianye, a director from China, was worth so much.
Already over 30 million US dollars!
Pan Desheng put his right hand on the table and tapped rhythmically. After pondering for a while, he said: "I have investigated clearly. The reason why Wu Jianye had problems with Fengge Entertainment this time was because Wu Jianye wanted to
I want my girlfriend to collaborate with Zhou Run in a movie. I have already asked someone to inquire about his girlfriend. She is also from China. Her sister is also a contracted actress of Fengge Entertainment. Since there is no better way to deal with it now
He, we can make the people around him lose their jobs."
Xie Wanqing first showed a happy expression, and then asked with some doubt: "Will Fengge Entertainment agree?"
Pan Desheng smiled confidently: "The Pan family, the Chen family, and the Xie family are jointly putting pressure on Fengge Entertainment. Even Zhou Tao himself has to weigh it, let alone Liu Feng!"
Xie Wanqing and Chen Wenlun thought about it for a moment and showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, you can really try this thing!"
Then the three of them sat together and began to discuss the specific implementation process of the matter...
.......
Naturally, Wu Jianye didn't know that he was being plotted, and the people plotting against him were Pan Disheng, a well-known second-generation rich man in Hong Kong, and others.
At this time, Wu Jianye and Gong Ying arrived at the Lai Yuen Playground in Kowloon. This is a playground under the name of ATV Qiu Degen. It is a playground that combines the architecture and customs of the Song Dynasty.
To be honest, in Wu Jianye's eyes, this kind of playground can only be said to be average, but in Gong Yin's eyes, it is different. At this time, there are no decent playgrounds in the country, they are just parks at most.
"I heard that some of ATV's costume dramas were filmed here!" Gong Yin walked in the playground, wearing a simple T-shirt and a pair of casual pants, and holding the jeans he took off because of the hot weather.
Jacket.
"Sister Yin, what do you think about building a large-scale studio in China?"
Gong Ying looked at Wu Jianye strangely: "Like the Shaw Brothers studio in Clear Water Bay?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, but it's bigger than Shaw Brothers' studio in Clear Water Bay and has more themes."
Gong Yin: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Actually, this was an idea I had when we were filming "The Last Emperor". To film "The Last Emperor", we went to Yanjing, Jinmen, Liaodong, Chuncheng and other places. Do you think, if
If there is a dedicated filming studio with all the scenes, can it save a lot of time and unnecessary costs?"
Gong Yin thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Let's not talk about how much money it will cost to build such a studio. Whether the country can agree to it is also a problem!"
"If it's just Tangting Culture, the country may not agree. What if it's a tripartite cooperation between Tangting Culture, Fengge Entertainment, and Xiangjiang ATV?" Looking at Gong Yin with a smile, Wu Jianye continued: "The first cultural company in China.
It is impossible not to seriously consider the domestic studio jointly established with Fengge Entertainment, one of the largest entertainment companies in Hong Kong, and Xiangjiang Satellite TV, one of the two major TV stations in Hong Kong. This is just a gimmick."
If it were just a court culture, there would definitely be a lot of criticism in the country. Even if this is a very good proposal in the eyes of future generations, in terms of current domestic policies, there will be many people who will put forward different opinions on this matter.
.
With the rising status of Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang, as well as Fengge Entertainment’s many years of cooperation with China, and Tangting Culture being the first cultural company in China, China has regarded Tangting Culture as a benchmark and will also give it a certain level.
support on.
There is definitely great potential for this matter.
Gong Yin was not someone who only cared about acting and ignored what was going on outside the window. He thought about Wu Jianye's proposal, then nodded and said: "If it can really happen, that would be great!
"
"It's just that you said Fengge Entertainment can cooperate. I have no objection. As for ATV, why should they cooperate with you?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "This is why we came to Liyuan Amusement Park today!"
Gong Ying showed a puzzled expression.
The owner of Liyuan Amusement Park is the property of Qiu Degen, the current owner of ATV.
Qiu Degen is also a legendary figure in Hong Kong.
Born in Shanghai, his father was just a small businessman. When he entered junior high school, his family fell into decline. Qiu Degen had to drop out of school to work. At the age of 15, he entered the Da Guangming Cinema in Shanghai as a waiter and was later promoted to manager.
, when he was 21 years old, he rented a Metropolitan Cinema to screen domestic films and became an operator with no assets.
But then Qiu Degen married a beautiful lady and reached the peak of his life. However, when he came to Xiangjiang, he became a poor boy again, with a total net worth of only a few hundred yuan.
Later, Qiu Degen worked in a company run by a friend as a slideshow advertisement and bought and sold videos. He had been operating a movie theater in Shanghai for many years, so he wanted to resume his old business in Xiangjiang. Cinemas in Xiangjiang were called theaters. There was no television at that time, so going to the theater to watch movies was
The main form of entertainment for people in Xiangjiang.
Naturally, it would be better to run a theater in a downtown area, but the rent in a downtown area was so expensive that it was out of reach for Qiu Degen, and he had no way to borrow money. Later, he recalled: "Back then, because I was from another province and was not good at Cantonese, I couldn't get the local reputation.
People are trustworthy, so when buying something, you always pay for it first and then the goods, so it’s very difficult to mobilize funds.”
This road was blocked, so Qiu Degen could only set his sights on the countryside. He traveled to many places in the New Territories, and finally rented a warehouse in Tsuen Wan as a theater. Qiu Degen's principle is to save what he can, as rents in the countryside are low.
Rural people rarely watch movies, so they can rent old movies to play. The rent for old movies is only HK$1 a day, which saves money.
At that time, Tsuen Wan had a population of only 100,000. In addition to local residents, there were also copycat factory workers, but they were all farmers from Guangdong Province. As soon as Qiu Degen's theater opened, it was indeed very popular and was always full.
Trouble also ensued. People here used to have the habit of watching movies for free. Some wealthy people did good deeds and paid people to show outdoor movies, or open-door screenings in the ancestral warehouse. When the theater opened, some farmers did not buy it.
If they didn't want to get in, they would smash the lamps and glass with stones. Qiu Degen had to stay at the theater every night to maintain order. Gradually, these villagers got used to buying tickets to watch movies.
Qiu Degen set a precedent for rural theaters to hold matinee shows. His consideration was that renting movies was calculated on a daily basis, and it was not economical to just hold night shows. Villagers did not have a work system, so they could adjust their own time. Besides, the villagers lived in scattered places, and it was difficult to walk at night.
For inconvenience.
At the beginning, the matinee was crowded, but as its influence expanded, the attendance at the matinee increased day by day, earning Qiu Degen considerable box office revenue.
As soon as Qiu Degen had money, he went to a township to set up a theater. By 1958, he independently owned 14 rural theaters and became the theater king in the New Territories.
After getting rich, Qiu Degen set his sights on the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. However, the little money he had to open a theater was obviously not enough to make a difference in the real estate industry, so he set his sights on the banking industry.
However, at that time, people in the New Territories of Hong Kong did not believe in banks, and would rather keep their money at home than deposit it in a bank. Qiu Degen's first establishment was not a bank, but a bank, which made it even more difficult.
Fortunately, a fire in Tsuen Wan burned many people's money at home, so everyone decided to deposit the money in the Far East Bank of Qiu Degen.
Far East Bank's business gradually took off, and Qiu Degen suddenly became a rich man. Deposits are made by lending money, which is a truth that everyone in the banking industry knows very well. Qiu Degen opened some small loans, and he and some people who didn't believe it
Like his depositors, he doesn't trust his lenders either.
Although he didn't trust others, Qiu Degen believed in himself, so he loaned the money stored in Far East Bank to himself.
This was a method commonly used by Chinese bankers to make money at that time. It was not just for safety. The profits were large and fast. Qiu Degen seized opportunities everywhere and finally purchased Liyuan Amusement Park in 1961 at a relatively low price of HK$1.5 million.
The original owner of the amusement park was Zhang Jun. It was built in 1950 but has suffered losses year after year. Qiu Degen thought: Even if I take over the amusement park and lose money, I can "pickle" the land and sell it when it rises, and I will definitely be able to sell it at a good price.
.
Qiu Degen bought animals for exhibition and added a number of entertainment equipment. At that time, there were a huge number of visitors and a lot of money was made.
Qiu Degen took a two-pronged approach and reorganized Far East Bank into Far East Bank as early as March 196o. He opened a number of banking businesses, and his credibility increased day by day. The amount of deposits ranked first among his peers in the New Territories.
At the same time, Qiu Degen also announced that he would build the tallest building in the New Territories.
At this time, Qiu Degen reached another peak in his life.
This was the first half of Qiu Degen's life. Although it was not smooth sailing, at least it didn't have too many ups and downs. But then Qiu Degen fell into all kinds of troubles.
First, the bank run wave in Hong Kong in the 1960s affected the Far East Bank, which directly caused Qiu Degen to sell 76% of the shares of the Far East Bank to the American-owned Bank of China.
Far East Bank was founded by Qiu Degen. Even though Wanguo Baotong Bank became the majority shareholder of Far East Bank, Qiu Degen still went his own way. Later, the two sides broke into a four-year lawsuit.
In the end, Wan Guo Baotong was unable to fight and decided to withdraw from the Far East Bank. The shares were bought back by Qiu Degen, who announced in September 1981 that the Qiu family once again had control of the Far East Bank. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
The mediation ended, and the winner was naturally Qiu Degen.
However, this was only a temporary victory for Qiu Degen. In the past two years, a banking trust crisis broke out again in Hong Kong. It originated from the false accounting incident of Zhang Mingtian's Overseas Trust Bank, which later spread to the entire small and medium-sized banking industry in Hong Kong.
Now Far Eastern Bank is once again in quagmire.
This is just a setback for Qiu Degen in business. In terms of his personal life, he has also suffered repeated blows in recent years.
His fair and beautiful wife accompanied Cathay Film Company boss Lu Yuntao and his wife on an inspection trip to Taiwan, and unfortunately died in a plane crash. Qiu Degen was very sad. Later, his sister-in-law Qiu Jinlan married his brother-in-law Qiu Degen, shouldering the burden of
After taking up the responsibility of raising her sister's son, Qiu felt a little calmer.
In 1983, his beloved son Qiu Dacheng, who was a director of Asia Television, drove drunk and killed the duty sir Zheng Menghui, which became a sensation. Qiu Dacheng was sentenced to four years in prison.
All this gave Qiu Degen a headache.
So when Qiu Degen received the invitation from Yaoguang Group, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
Yaoguang Group is a large-scale consortium that has emerged in Hong Kong in the past two years. Its business covers entertainment, real estate, finance, clothing, beverages and other industries.
It has been the hottest topic in the Xiangjiang business community in the past two years. The rise of Yaoguang Group is full of legends. Just like Jianing in the previous two years, its rapid rise and the huge amount of funds it can mobilize have attracted people's attention.
.
However, Yaoguang Group and Jianing Group are also very different. Although Jianing rose up so fast back then, it was astonishing. But after Jianing ended, everyone discovered that Jianing's rise was mostly financed by banks.
Obtained from loans and making money in the stock market.
But Yaoguang Group is different. As of now, Yaoguang Group does not have a listed company, which means that their funds are not obtained from making money in the stock market. This makes the business community in Xiangjiang even more curious.
I’m curious where the Yaoguang Group’s money comes from.
After the Yaoguang hurricane, some people now call it the Yaoguang miracle.
Although Qiu Degen has been operating in Xiangjiang for many years, in terms of the size of the group, there is still no way to compare with Yaoguang Group.
So after receiving the invitation from Yaoguang Group, Qiu Degen quickly agreed to the invitation.
In the afternoon of that day, Qiu Degen came to the headquarters of Yaoguang Group in Hong Kong Central.
Seeing that a large consortium with a valuation of over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars was only leasing its headquarters in Exchange Square, Qiu Degen felt a little doubt in his heart.
Nowadays, among the well-known consortiums in Hong Kong, all of them own their own office buildings. Yaoguang Group is great, but now it only rents its own office space. This inevitably makes people confused about what Yaoguang Group does.
Intend.
When Qiu Degen walked into the reception room of Yaoguang Group, he was even more surprised.
Because when he stood in the reception room, he was greeted by Kun...
