148, Chu Tianxiao: Chu Huan is going to be unlucky (7K chapter
"This Chu Huan is really capable of doing things!"
In Chu Tianxiao's office in Jiahu Building, Chu Tianxiao was sitting on his office chair, closing his eyes slightly. Sitting opposite him was Chen Xiao, who was wearing a suit and was elegant.
It was Chu Ran who was speaking. At the same time, Chu Ran was holding a newspaper in his hand. The content in the newspaper was divided into two parts. The first part talked about Li Hanxiang's new movie.
Can Li Hanxiang's latest masterpiece, "Warlord", achieve greater success?
The media in Hong Kong are actually not very optimistic about Li Hanxiang's new movie.
Although Li Hanxiang is a great director and has made two movies with good box office since returning to Hong Kong, the audience in Hong Kong still has some doubts about Li Hanxiang.
However, this suspicion is only within the scope of understanding.
The real reason why the Hong Kong media is not optimistic about this movie is because Li Hanxiang cast newcomer Tian Ni, who is not a newcomer, and pure newcomer Xu Guanwen.
Tian Ni Haolai is somewhat famous because she is an insider after all, but Xu Guanwen is different. In the past, everyone knew him because he was a host.
now?
The host changed his career to become an actor, and he is still a newcomer who is about to turn 30. Can such a person act in a movie?
It is for this reason that the movie "Warlords" encountered suspicion from the audience after filming started.
The other part is about Chu Huan and Tian Ni.
Although the photo of Chu Huan and Tian Ni taken by Gu Chengxi was not published in "Cheng Bao", Gu Chengxi sold it to "Oriental Daily".
Mainly because Oriental Daily likes this kind of news.
The headline of this section of the news is: A young talent marries a new love, but the status of the son-in-law of the shipping king is not guaranteed!
According to the report, Tian Ni became Chu Huan's latest rumored girlfriend. Because Chu Huan made gossip news one after another, the Cao family was very dissatisfied with Chu Huan's behavior. Cao Wenjin even wanted to break up the relationship between Chu Huan and Cao Yunchang.
To the mandarin ducks!
Of course, these news are all made by the reporter himself based on a photo.
Chen Xiao's expression was calm, and there was even a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Master Ran, wouldn't this be great? Since Chu Huan is so swollen, let's just let him fight in the movie industry. This way we can consume the cash in his hand. For us, it is also a good thing!
"
After saying that, Chen Xiao took the newspaper from Chu Ran's hand, pointed to the above part and said: "I also saw this news. Look here, Chu Huan invested 600,000 Hong Kong dollars for this movie.
Adding in the 400,000 investment in the previous black and white film, this is already 1 million Hong Kong dollars."
Chu Ran said indifferently: "It's only 1 million Hong Kong dollars, can Chu Huan still have it in his hands?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "One million Hong Kong dollars, of course, is there, but Chu Huan must have invested millions in renting Lisheng Cinema before. In addition, he spent 4 million to buy Jiamei Cinema, which is already 6 million
Tens of thousands of dollars were spent.”
"We have calculated before that the cash in Chu Huan's hands will never exceed 10 million. Now that he has devoted most of his energy to the film industry, there is naturally no way to obstruct our plan."
"Yeah, how could I forget about this!" Chu Ran sat down next to Chen Xiao excitedly, and said excitedly: "Then we can issue new shares now?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Chu Tianxiao, who was sitting opposite, and said, "It depends on what the boss thinks about this matter."
Chu Tianxiao also opened his eyes at this time and said in a deep voice: "You have made one mistake!"
Chen Xiao and Chu Ran looked at Chu Tianxiao in confusion, and Chu Ran took the initiative to ask: "Daddy, is there anything else?"
Chu Tianxiao said: "Chu Huan holds the shares of Jiahu Textile. I received news that after Chu Huan became a shareholder of Jiahu Textile, he attended a cocktail party with some business celebrities and met Jian Yueqiang of the Bank of East Asia. If Chu Huan
If you need it, you can get a loan from the Bank of East Asia."
At this point, Chu Tianxiao paused and continued: "In fact, it doesn't have to be the Bank of East Asia. Jiahu Textile is now a high-quality stock. I believe that as long as Chu Huan needs it, any bank will be willing to lend him a loan!"
Chu Ran showed such an expression, while Chen Xiao was a little annoyed that he didn't think of this.
As if he had read Chen Xiao's thoughts, Chu Tianxiao comforted him: "Axiao, you don't have to blame yourself. You didn't think of this. The main reason is because you have just entered the business world and are not familiar with these things."
learn."
"Thank you, Chairman, I will pay attention to it in the future!" Chen Xiao said humbly.
Chu Tianxiao raised his forehead slightly.
Chu Ran said helplessly: "What should we do now? If this is the case, should we issue new shares?"
Chu Tianxiao did not answer his son's question immediately. Instead, he looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Xiao considered the words before speaking: "Actually, there is no way we can deal with Chu Huan. The simplest thing is that the chairman can announce now that due to the development needs of the real estate company, the chairman has decided to increase capital. In this case,
Chu Huan needs to come up with equivalent funds, otherwise his shares in Jiahu Textile will be diluted.
The second way is to issue new shares, but if we do this, we are not sure whether Chu Huan will secretly acquire the company's shares at this time, and it will be easy to lose more than the gain."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xiao looked at Chu Tianxiao expectantly.
Chu Tianxiao gave him a satisfied smile, and then said aloud: "Increasing capital is indeed a way, but it is not suitable. As for the issuance of new shares, it is better to wait. The company just went public last month and will issue new shares this month.
, a little too rushed.”
Increasing capital means using his own money to deal with Chu Huan. Chu Tianxiao is a little reluctant to do so. At least at this stage, there is no need.
Chu Ran asked: "What about Chu Huan?"
Chu Tianxiao asked Chen Xiao: "During this period, you and A Ran have been responsible for watching over the company's senior management. Has Chu Huan had any contact with these people?"
Jiahu Textile is the root of Chu Tianxiao. Before the development of the real estate company, Chu Tianxiao could not give up Jiahu Textile.
If you want to control Jiahu Textile, the most important thing is to control the middle and high-level cadres of Jiahu Textile. Only by controlling these people, Chu Tianxiao will know that Chu Huan cannot make any trouble.
Chen Xiao immediately said: "Chu Huan seems to have really put all his energy into the film company. He has not contacted any of the company's middle and high-level personnel, and although he has asked for two board seats, Cao Yunshang and him
After that day, I never came to the company again.
just like......."
Chen Xiao was a little silent at the end.
Chu Tianxiao smiled nonchalantly: "It's like he said that he is purely optimistic about the future development of Jiahu Textile and wants to be a shareholder and enjoy the company's dividends!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, that's it!"
Chu Tianxiao waved his hands and said: "I could believe this kind of nonsense before, but now, I don't even believe a single punctuation mark!"
Chu Ran began to praise him again: "Daddy, what do you think Chu Huan wants to do?"
Chu Tianxiao's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "I never realized that my nephew could be so calm before!?"
"Although he is the second largest shareholder of Jiahu Textile now, the whole company is mine, and the company's stocks on the market are also being watched by people. If there is a large and unusual transaction, I will definitely find it.
So Chu Huan is waiting at this time.
Waiting for an opportunity for us to have a vulnerability.
But he is a young man after all!”
When he said this, Chu Tianxiao showed a conceited smile and continued: "Since Chu Huan has no way to make any effective attack on us at this stage, his best way is to wait until we have a flaw, and then
He could just take advantage of it.
But since leaving the Chu family, Chu Huan's journey has been so smooth that he forgot about it, so he chose a more radical approach, which was to find a new industry, then make money make money, and continue to expand his business.
capital.
Only in this way will he have more funds to fight against us when we reveal our flaws!
But he forgot one important thing.
It is not easy to do new things in a new industry. Every industry has its own rules. If you break the rules of this industry, it is not that easy to develop.
Even success can only be accumulated slowly through countless failures."
After Chu Ran listened, he finally understood what Chu Tianxiao was thinking, but then came new questions.
"But since Chu Huan made his fortune in the Xiangjiang stock market, why didn't he stay in the stock market and choose to go to the film industry? After all, the stock market in Xiangjiang is very good now."
Chen Xiao helped Chu Tianxiao explain: "This is actually easy to understand. The chairman of the board told me before that the business community in Xiangjiang is a place that is very humane and sophisticated. The reason why Chu Huan chose to start in the stock market was firstly because of the Xiangjiang stock market.
It's prosperous enough, and the second thing is that Chu Huan chose to use real and fake acquisitions to attack listed companies in Xiangjiang."
"Yes, he could do this before, why can't he do it now?" Chu Ran still couldn't understand.
well.......
Chu Tianxiao sighed deeply in his heart.
Chen Xiao could only continue: "Didn't I just say that the business world in Xiangjiang is a very sophisticated place, and Chu Huan's real and fake acquisitions can be said to run counter to the market situation in Xiangjiang.
In the past, he had no scruples, so he naturally didn't care about his own methods.
But it doesn't work now. Now that Chu Huan obviously wants to go ashore, he can't have too many enemies in Xiangjiang. It will also be detrimental to his future development.
Moreover, it is not only Chu Huan, but also the Cao family. Now Chu Huan and the Cao family can be said to be two in one. Even if the Cao family does not support Chu Huan's behavior, if Chu Huan still plays the trick of real and fake acquisitions, the Cao family will
He will also be shamed by his colleagues in Xiangjiang.
But don’t forget, Mr. Cao, the Wanbang Shipping Company of the Cao family will soon be listed on the market."
After listening to Chen Xiao's explanation, Chu Ran finally understood the key.
Then Chu Ran said excitedly: "Daddy, because of Cao Yunshang's incident, Chu Huan and the Shao family were a little unhappy. Why don't we unite with the Shao family to deal with Chu Huan now? Anyway, the Shao family is now
Is it the largest film company in Hong Kong?"
Chu Tianxiao chuckled lightly and said: "We don't need to do anything, that old fox Shao Yifu will not let Chu Huan go. Didn't I just say that Chu Huan is still a little young and too impulsive.
In the Hong Kong film industry, the current situation is basically that Shaw Brothers dominates, Golden Harvest is struggling to catch up, and other film companies can only survive in the cracks between the two.
Lisheng Cinema was originally Zou Wenhuai's possession, and it was also the sharp sword he used to fight against Shaw Brothers, but in the end, Chu Huan cut him off halfway.
Li Hanxiang is an old general of the Shaw Brothers. Shao Yifu deliberately used him to establish his image of being broad-minded and regardless of past grudges, but Chu Huan also cut him off.
Now he has offended Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers at the same time, and these two film companies will not let him go without us taking action."
"But the newspaper clearly stated that Chu Huan's black-and-white film was shot at Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio, and Shaw Brothers' films were also screened at Lydia Cinema. If Shao Yifu really wanted to deal with Chu Huan, he could
Leave him with no place to shoot the film?" Chu Ran had a new question.
The dissatisfaction in Chu Tianxiao's heart was directly expressed at this time, but thinking that this was his son and his future successor, he still had to teach him little by little.
"As I have just said many times, the business world in Xiangjiang is a place where people are very sophisticated. Behind Chu Huan stands Cao Wenjin, who also has good relations with Feng Jingxi, Tang Jiqian and others.
With such a relationship, Shao Yifu naturally has to give some face, but face is not infinite, and what should be dealt with must still be dealt with."
"I understand!" Chu Ran finally solved his doubts and smiled.
"Then let's just do nothing now and watch Chu Huan get into trouble!"
Chu Tianxiao nodded with satisfaction.
...
Chu Huan didn't know what Chu Tianxiao and others planned against him, but if Chu Huan found out, he would definitely shout that they were all talented people.
If he were an ordinary person, Chu Tianxiao's analysis would really be on point. But is Chu Huan an ordinary person?
He is a person who was reborn with a golden finger in his hand, and Chu Huan's golden finger is his memory of this era.
"Dragon and Tiger Fight" was an accident. Although Chu Huan didn't know much about the movies of this era in Hong Kong, he also knew that Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were brothers, and they definitely didn't start in this movie.
Chu Huan was unsure about the box office of this movie. He didn't know whether it would make money or be a hit in the end. However, the investment in the movie was only 400,000 yuan, so Chu Huan still didn't care.
Spending 400,000 yuan to cultivate Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, two future box office superstars, couldn't be cheaper.
But the movie "The Great Warlord" will definitely make a lot of money, but maybe because the theater company in my hand does not have as many theaters as Shaw Brothers, it will suffer some losses at the box office.
But thinking about it, it's acceptable.
And Chu Huan is not without action, he continues to acquire movie theaters.
But this time it was not Feng Yongfa who helped introduce him, but Fang Jianhui himself.
After Fang Jianhui became the general manager of Black and White Video, Chu Huan made a rule with Fang Jianhui that he could go to the studio to learn film knowledge.
But you can't give random advice to Li Hanxiang and Hong Jinbao outside of your own expertise. This is not because Chu Huan is doting on Hong Jinbao and Li Hanxiang, but because Chu Huan understands very well what the consequences will be if an outsider leads an expert.
The Chinese men’s football team is a bloody lesson.
Of course, there is also a disadvantage to doing this, that is, if Hung Jin-bao and Li Hanxiang fail to make a movie, resulting in a serious overrun of the movie budget, it will also be a loss for the company.
So now Chu Huan’s black and white images are seriously lacking in competent producers!
Although I can't be as stingy as Shao Yifu, I can't let the director do whatever he wants.
Fortunately, there are only two movies in black and white currently being shot. Chu Huan can still cope with it, but looking for an excellent production director is already on the agenda.
While formulating the rules, Chu Huan also assigned two tasks to Fang Jianhui. The first was to find a theater to be sold and a suitable place to build a theater in Xiangjiang.
The second step is to contact the small film company in Hong Kong and ask them to take the film to a black-and-white cinema chain to release it.
There is no other way. The size of the black and white video is still too small to support a theater chain.
What Shaw Brothers brought were films that had already been released, purely for the second round of box office harvesting.
Now Fang Jianhui found such a cinema for Chu Huan.
"This cinema is in Saigon. It was just built not long ago. If we can take over it, we won't need to renovate it at all and it can be put into use directly."
After meeting Chu Huan in the company, Fang Jianhui said happily.
Chu Huan asked: "Since it is newly built, the other party must want to do a good job. How could it be sold suddenly?"
Fang Jianhui chuckled and said, "This matter is interesting to talk about."
"Then tell me quickly, I like to hear interesting things the most!" Chu Huan also showed an interested expression.
Fang Jianhui sat opposite Chu Huan and said with excitement: "Sounds like this boss is quite unlucky. The reason why he wanted to open a movie theater was because of his wife's opinion. However, this person's more business is in
Nanyang, most of the year is also in Nanyang.
After the theater was completed this year, the other party rushed back from Nanyang. Originally, he wanted to give his wife a surprise, so he did not tell the other party about his return that day.
As a result, when he returned to his home with flowers in hand, he saw his wife having sex with a handsome guy..."
Facts have proven that not only long-distance relationships are unreliable, but even long-distance marriages are unreliable.
Chu Huan saw a large piece of grassland above the man's head.
"After something like this happened, this person naturally didn't have a good impression of the cinema. He probably thought of his wife when he saw the cinema, so he decided to sell the cinema. I just got the news and came over to inform you.
, if it’s too late, others will worry about it.”
Fang Jianhui preached proudly.
Chu Huan looked at Fang Jianhui suspiciously, "You know such private things. Could that young man be you?"
Fang Jianhui's face turned red and he said: "Of course it's not me anymore. Am I that kind of person?"
Chu Huan thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "Whether you are that kind of person remains to be verified, but with your appearance, the boss's wife should look down on you."
"Brother Huan, if you keep doing this, I'm leaving!"
Fang Jianhui preached in a very shocked tone.
Chu Huan quickly pushed Fang Jianhui down on the chair: "You're kidding, why are you so ungrateful!"
Fang Jianhui then said: "The reason why I was able to find out so quickly is because my home happens to be in Saigon, and that wife's mistress... is my neighbor's son."
Chu Huan couldn't help but ask: "Is that strong man okay now?"
"It's not very good. We are still in the hospital now. Whether we can save our descendants or not is one thing!" Fang Jianhui said while clamping his legs.
Chu Huan unconsciously tightened her legs.
"Have you contacted the prairie warrior?"
"We have already contacted you. They heard that we are from a film company and are very willing to talk to you."
"Then go comfort this prairie warrior!"
Since there is a new cinema, Chu Huan naturally cannot give up.
Moreover, the land price in Saigon is very cheap now, and the price will definitely be cheaper, which cannot be compared with the Jiamei Cinema.
Qin Peng drove and several people arrived in Saigon and met the grassland fighter.
After meeting the other party, Chu Huan knew why his wife wanted to steal someone. With his Mediterranean hairstyle and the body shape of Fatty Wang’s father, it would be strange if his wife didn’t steal someone with such an image!
"Mr. Li, this is Mr. Chu Huanchu, the chairman of our Black and White Image!"
"Chairman, this is Mr. Li I told you about, the owner of the theater!"
After the two parties met, Fang Jianhui introduced them to each other.
"Young Master Huan's name was well known to me when I was in Nanyang, but I didn't expect that Young Master Huan would be so young."
Mr. Li shook hands with Chu Huan enthusiastically, without any trace of the fact that he was already a man from the grassland above his head.
"Mr. Li is too polite. It just happened to be a meeting. There is nothing worth saying."
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, there was an endless tug-of-war.
It can be seen that Li always wants to sell the theater as soon as possible, but does not want to suffer any losses, so it is not very difficult to do so.
After an hour of pushing and pulling, the two parties finally settled on a price that everyone could accept.
With 3 million Hong Kong dollars, Chu Huan took over this brand new cinema that has not yet started operations!
Jiamei Cinema cost Chu Huan 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and Chu Huan still needed to add money to renovate it. Now for this brand-new cinema, Chu Huan only paid 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
One reason for this is that the geographical locations of Sai Kung and Tsim Sha Tsui are quite different, and the other reason is that the boss really doesn’t want to see this sad place anymore!
The two parties agreed to go to the lawyer's office to sign the contract tomorrow afternoon.
As for why it was in the afternoon, it was because Chu Huan wanted to raise funds!
Initially, Chu Huan took out a loan of 33 million from the Bank of East Asia, leaving 8 million in working capital. However, in less than a month, Chu Huan had already spent almost all of it.
Now Chu Huan can only continue to think of ways to raise funds.
“Should we sell some stocks?”
When Cao Yunshang and Chu Huan were having dinner in the evening, Cao Yunshang learned about this and asked Chu Huan.
Cao Yunshang knew Chu Huan's financial situation, so he asked this question.
Chu Huan waved his hand, "No, now there is a Jiamei Cinema for black and white video. I am going to find a bank to use the Jiamei Cinema as a mortgage loan. It should be enough to pay for the acquisition of the new cinema!"
"Another loan?" Cao Yunshang didn't expect that Chu Huan actually wanted to save a loan, and asked with some worry: "Isn't this a little too forward-thinking? If something goes wrong in the future, it will be troublesome."
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It's okay, everything is still under control now, there won't be any trouble."
Although Chu Huan said this, Cao Yunshang was still a little worried, and then suggested: "How about I go home and talk to my dad and ask him to support you!"
Everyone believed that Chu Huan's success was due to the support of Cao Wenjin. At the beginning, Chu Huan did not deny this matter just to pull off the tiger's skin.
But only Chu Huan and the Cao family knew that Chu Huan's success was achieved without ever borrowing a penny from the Cao family.
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No need, Wanbang Shipping is also working on the listing now, so there is no need to go to Uncle Cao!"
Cao Yunshang had a different idea: "It doesn't matter. Wanbang Shipping is listed because my dad wants to minimize risks, not how much money he really needs to raise. A few million is no problem!"
Even so, Chu Huan still refused and said: "No, I have my own sense of control over these matters. There will be no problems. That's how it's settled."
Finally, Chu Huan made the final decision.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Cao Yunshang stopped saying anything.
After the two had dinner, they drove for a while. Qin Peng and others drove behind. At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Huan sent Cao Yunshang back to Cao's house again.
In fact, Chu Huan didn't want to. Who knew that Cao Yunshang took out today's newspaper, pointed at the photo of Chu Huan and Tian Ni and said: "You should go find your rumored girlfriend!"
"Didn't I tell you what happened before?" Chu Huan said helplessly.
Cao Yunshang said proudly: "You know, but you still have to be angry when you are angry. Don't you know that you can't trust a woman's words too much?"
Helplessly, Chu Huan still failed to overcome the difficulty of Cao Yunshang's last line of defense.
The next day!
Chu Huan did not go to the Bank of East Asia this time, but to Hang Seng Bank.
Currently, there are no computers in Hong Kong for office work, and there is no linkage between banks, so Hang Seng Bank does not know that Chu Huan has mortgaged Jiahu Textile's shares in the Bank of East Asia.
Of course, the documents of Jiahu Textile shares have been mortgaged in the Bank of East Asia. Even if Chu Huan wants to use the shares of Jiahu Textile to support his family, it is impossible.
Chu Huan is now considered a celebrity in Hong Kong. After arriving at Hang Seng Bank, he was naturally given a grand reception.
When the other party learned that Chu Huan was here for a loan, they didn't have any objections and expressed their welcome.
Therefore, the two parties did not quarrel for too long and quickly finalized all the loan matters. Although we are not working on computers now, some things can be done very quickly.
In a whole morning, Chu Huan used Jiamei Cinema as a mortgage and borrowed 3 million from Hang Seng Bank, which was used to pay for the price of the new cinema.
So Chu Huan rushed to the law firm and signed the theater transfer procedures with Mr. Li. The number of theaters in Chu Huan's hands increased to six!
