634, Hometowns investment planThe dynamics of Xiangjiang
North America, New York!
After finishing their trip to Japan, Chu Huan and his party left Tokyo and took a plane directly to New York.
Currently, Chu Huan has two major bases in North America, one is New York and the other is Los Angeles.
North America Library in New York, Vertex Pictures in Los Angeles!
In fact, for Chu Huan, this trip to North America is much more important and difficult than the trip to Japan. After all, the economies of Japan and North America are not the same size at all. At the same time, Chu Huan faces
The opponents are also different.
Although Japan's Mitsui family and Sumitomo family have absolute power in Japan, there is still a big gap between them and Jewish businessmen in North America.
If Chu Huan's situation in North America is not handled well this time, it will easily lead to the targeting of Jewish businessmen throughout North America.
Therefore, although the main battlefield in North America is Disneyland in Los Angeles, Chu Huan also needs to understand his business situation in North America first. Only in this way can he better deal with what is going to happen next.
People from North American Jiaku picked up Chu Huan and his party at the airport, and Chu Huan asked them to drive directly to his estate near Manhattan, New York.
The decoration here can be said to be completely different from Chu Huan's manor in Japan. It is a very typical European manor, but it is somewhat similar to the style of Chu Huan's manor in Los Angeles.
"Boss, do you really not have to worry about things in Japan?"
Wu Shuhan sat on the sofa and looked at the documents in his hands, and asked Chu Huan worriedly.
Although the acquisition of Nomura Securities, investments in Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Bank, and Kurushima Shipyard have all been completed, there is still a lot of finishing work to be done.
That's why Wu Shuhan asked such a question.
Facing Wu Shuhan's inquiry, Chu Huan said calmly: "Don't worry, don't underestimate Wu Xiaoshi and the others. If they couldn't solve these things, Wu Xiaoshi wouldn't be where he is now.
!”
Wu Shuhan thought for a moment and smiled: "I have had a lot of contact with Manager Wu in Japan during this period. Manager Wu is indeed a very capable manager."
"There is no need to praise her too highly. There is still a big gap between Wu Xiaoshi and those old youtiaos. But fortunately, she is not alone, but has the entire Jiaku team to help her. If they are that
If there are so many people around here who can't do these things well, then Wu Xiaoshi should really buy a piece of Japanese tofu and be killed!"
Seeing what Chu Huan said, Wu Shuhan said nothing.
However, Chu Huan began to tell Wu Shuhan, "You still have to keep in touch with Wu Xiaoshi and David Maxwell this year. I think after this year, the situation in my hometown will change.
Japan and North America will definitely be the first countries to enter the home market. When the time comes, you will not only be responsible for our investment in the home market, but you will also have to deal with these people who enter the home market!"
At the end of this year, the conference that is said to change the development direction of my hometown will be held. It can be said that after that conference, my hometown has taken a firm first step on the road of reform and opening up.
There have been some back and forth, but it can no longer change the overall situation.
Naturally, Wu Shuhan did not expect that Chu Huan was talking about the conference. He thought that Chu Huan was making assumptions based on the development of the situation.
So Wu Shuhan just nodded and said: "I understand, but boss, what is our most important investment in our hometown now?"
Wu Shuhan already knew Chu Huan's emphasis on his hometown from Chu Huan's repeated emphasis, but he was still very curious about how Chu Huan planned to invest in his hometown.
Although it has been confirmed that he will build his own factory in the Pearl River Delta region, such investment obviously cannot match Chu Huan's current net worth and the importance Chu Huan places on his hometown.
Chu Huan fell into deep thought when faced with Wu Shuhan's inquiry. Chu Huan actually had a lot of ideas about investing in his hometown, but now that Wu Shuhan asked him, he didn't know where to start.
"I think in the early stage, we should put more energy into the infrastructure construction in our hometown!"
After Chu Huan thought about it carefully, he had a definite answer in his heart.
"Nowadays, there is a lot of waste waiting for development in my hometown, and new changes will occur in the development of all walks of life, but this is not the most important. In the early stage, we have to focus on large-scale projects such as power plants, highways, and seaport projects."
Wu Shuhan was a little shocked by Chu Huan's thoughts and couldn't help but said: "Boss, these projects are long-term projects with long construction periods, slow results, high risks, and high costs. They are not in line with the current development of our Jiaku!
"
Most of the industries under Chu Huan's name are projects with extremely fast return on money and extremely high profits. Now Chu Huan is targeting these long-term projects in his hometown, which makes Wu Shuhan have to be curious.
Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile: "My hometown is my hometown, and other places are other places. They are not the same. If we can make achievements in these industries, then our relationship with our hometown will be further improved.
Consolidation, and at the same time, better development of other industries we are about to invest in.
You followed me back to your hometown before, and you saw the situation there. There is not even a highway, which will greatly hinder the future development of our industry."
Wu Shuhan just put forward his own idea, but now that he sees Chu Huan believing in this matter so much, he will say nothing more and just develop well within the scope that Chu Huan has set.
"However, these projects can be said to be key projects in our hometown. Even if we have this idea, we still need approval from our hometown. I think this will be a very difficult process, right?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Since you have chosen this investment direction, you don't have to worry about this. At the same time, I will also seek opportunities to set up a bank office in my hometown in the next two years. By then, you can make some investments selectively. As for other
Yes, just wait until the situation in my hometown stabilizes in the past two years before we start thinking seriously!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Setting up an office in your hometown must be in the name of a bank, but as mentioned before, there are definitely many restrictions on Alder Commercial Bank, but this does not prevent
Chu Huan’s decision to establish an Alder Commercial Bank office in his hometown.
In fact, in the early days of reform, many foreign banks had already set up offices in their hometowns to make some commercial investments. These include Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Bank of the Mitsui Consortium, and Morgan Bank of North America, all of which have successively established their own offices in the capital.
, make some business investments.
As long as they do not involve core projects in the financial industry, these banks' offices in their hometowns have reaped a lot of dividends in those years.
According to Chu Huan's relationship with his hometown, it is very easy for Alde Commercial Bank to set up an office in Beijing.
Of course, Alder Commercial Bank is definitely not Chu Huan’s ultimate goal of entering the financial industry in his hometown. He still has to find a way to acquire or establish his own bank in Xiangjiang. That bank will then be the basis for Chu Huan to truly enter the financial industry in his hometown.
!
"Understood!" Wu Shuhan nodded.
"How is the negotiation with Wanguo Baotong Bank over in Xiangjiang?" Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan.
Before Xiangjiang came out, Chu Huan was thinking about acquiring IWC Bank's shares in Far East Bank, but at that time Sandy Aldama, the head of IWC Bank, did not agree very much with this matter.
After Chu Huan left Xiangjiang, Xu Yi was responsible for this matter.
"Sandy Aldama is still not ready to give up the shares of Far East Bank. However, according to the news from Xiangjiang, the relationship between IWC Bank and Qiu Degen has dropped to the freezing point. There are even rumors that Sandy
Aldama will file a lawsuit against Qiu Degen!"
Wu Shuhan immediately answered Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This is already the case. Isn't Wan Guo Baotong planning to sell its shares in Far East Bank?"
Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "Maybe they thought they could win this lawsuit!"
Chu Huan said: "Let Xu Yi pay close attention to this matter and notify us immediately if there is any new progress!"
"OK!"
.
In Xiangjiang, in the black and white video conference room, Liu Pingkui is leading the "Happy Ghost" crew to have a meeting. It is already March. Compared with previous years, the filming of the "Happy Ghost" series has obviously started earlier. For no other reason than this year's
Liu Pingkui will be very busy, and now he has to shoot this year's series of "Happy Ghost" in advance, but since this is a summer movie specially provided for students on summer vacation.
Therefore, the current temperature in Hong Kong is obviously not suitable for shooting this series, so Liu Pingkui directly decided to move this series to Hawaii after discussing with Huang Baiming.
Of course, there is another important reason for this, and that is because the series "Happy Ghost" has been filmed for several episodes in a row, one episode per year, and the audience has become a little tired of it.
As an important IP of Black and White Image, neither Liu Pingkui nor Fang Jianhui, the general manager of Black and White Image, is willing to give up on this series, so new exciting points are needed to stimulate the audience.
Nowadays, it is rare for Xiangjiang's movies to be shot overseas. Except for Li Xiaolong in the early days, basically other people's movies do not have this treatment.
"Have you finished applying for everyone's passports?" Liu Pingkui sat at the head of the table and talked to everyone with a smile.
Many people think that directors only need to sit in front of the camera and watch actors perform. This is because many directors in later generations did just that. Most of them became monks halfway. In fact, they have no idea what a director should do, but they just want to
Just relying on your reputation in another field to make money!
Anyone who writes books, sings, or even speaks cross talk or performs duets can become a director.
In the entertainment industry of later generations, there is a saying that if you find a suitable executive director, you can lead a dog and he can be the director!
But that was for later generations. In today's entertainment industry in Hong Kong, a director is actually an all-round talent, no matter whether he graduated from a major or became a monk halfway.
It can be said that every type of work in the entire crew is handled with ease.
To a large extent, the director also serves as a producer.
Liu Pingkui's words made everyone in the conference room laugh. Regarding the fact that the latest episode of "Happy Ghost" will be filmed in Hawaii, it was mentioned before when signing contracts with the actors present, and everyone has naturally made arrangements in advance.
Ready.
"The filming this time will mainly take place in Honolulu, Hawaii. The company has already found a hotel and filming location there. All you have to do now is familiarize yourself with the content in the script..."
Liu Pingkui then talked to everyone about things to pay attention to after arriving in Hawaii, and things like filming in advance.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already three hours later.
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong, the two girls who are the absolute stars of "Happy Ghost", walked out of the conference room holding hands. Zhong Chuhong said to Chen Yulian with some regret.
"What a pity. I originally thought I could celebrate your 18th birthday with you in Xiangjiang, but I didn't expect that we would have to go to Hawaii for filming. Then I would have to celebrate your birthday there!"
Chen Yulian's birthday is March 25. Zhong Chuhong is more than a month older than her. On her birthday in February, Chen Yulian held a birthday party for Zhong Chuhong. Originally, Zhong Chuhong wanted to reciprocate the favor, but she didn't expect that they would go now.
Filmed in Hawaii.
Although Chen Yulian and others have never been to Hawaii and would like to see the scenery there, they still feel a little regretful when they think of not being able to spend their eighteenth birthday with their families.
However, Chen Yulian still said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I heard that Hawaii is very beautiful over there. We can also take a nice stroll then!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhong Chuhong nodded and suddenly smiled and said: "I heard from Director Liu that Brother Huan is in North America now. You said that on your birthday, Huan
Will brother go to celebrate your birthday?"
Chen Yulian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How is that possible? Brother Huan must be very busy in North America. How can he have time to celebrate my birthday!"
Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said: "That's hard to say, isn't Brother Huan usually very nice to you? Maybe he will really give you a surprise that day!"
Chen Yulian showed a look of expectation.
.
After everyone else in the conference room left, only Liu Pingkui and Huang Baiming were left.
"If you go to Hawaii with me this time, will it delay your writing the script of "The Best Partner" with Mika?" Liu Pingkui asked Huang Baiming.
As mentioned before, Liu Pingkui will be very busy this year. In addition to being responsible for the shooting of the newly opened "Happy Ghost", he will also be shooting for the first movie of the Hong Kong Film Universe, "The Best Partner".
After Chu Huan told Huang Baiming and Maga the story of "The Best Partner", the two of them have been writing the script of this movie.
Huang Baiming naturally knew the importance of this movie, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with Chu Dong's story, the script can be easily formed. Now we just need to revise some details."
!”
Liu Pingkui slumped in his chair and said with a smile: "That's good. Brother Huan attaches great importance to this movie. We can't let him down!"
Huang Baiming nodded seriously. Chu Huan told the story himself. He said that he would never be careless.
Then Huang Baiming asked Liu Pingkui tentatively.
"Director Liu, you said that when we go to Hawaii for filming this time, will Director Chu come to visit the team?"
Liu Pingkui shook his head and said: "Probably not. Brother Huan seems to have something big to do in North America, so he probably doesn't have time!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Pingkui looked at Huang Baiming and asked: "Why do you ask this?"
Huang Baiming said with some disappointment: "Director Chu gave me the script of the movie "The Best Partner", and I also wanted to write it to the satisfaction of Director Chu. If I could let Director Chu read it before filming started,
I also have a good idea of the script!"
After hearing this, Liu Pingkui laughed and said, "Are you afraid that if the effect is not good, Brother Huan will blame you?"
How dare Huang Baiming admit this? He hurriedly said: "Of course not, I just want Director Chu to check it!"
Liu Pingkui comforted Huang Baiming and said: "Brother Huan can hand this story to you, which means that Brother Huan trusts you. You just need to use your abilities steadily!"
What could Huang Baiming say? He could only nod seriously.
Liu Pingkui stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Okay, you should go back and clean up. I also want to say hello to Mr. Fang!"
Huang Baiming nodded.
Liu Pingkui left the conference room and went straight to Fang Jianhui's office. Even though the entire black and white video knew about the relationship between Chu Huan and Liu Pingkui, Liu Pingkui still abided by the company's rules in the company. Liu Pingkui did not leave until Fang Jianhui's secretary informed him.
Entered Fang Jianhui's office.
But when Liu Pingkui came to Fang Jianhui's office, he found that there were other guests here, two men and one woman!
There are two men, one looks... a bit wretched, but very funny, and the other can be simply described as handsome and noble. Even though he has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years, he has seen countless
A handsome man, Liu Pingkui still has to say, there are very few who can surpass this man.
A woman, very beautiful.
Liu Pingkui knew a man with a sense of joy, his name was Chen Boxiang!
Liu Pingkui knew that he was currently hosting a variety show on TVB that had very high ratings and was already approaching "Happy Tonight". He was now a very popular host on TVB.
The most important thing is that Liu Pingkui heard about this person from Chu Huan and knew that Chu Huan admired Chen Baixiang very much!
At this time, it was Chen Baixiang who was talking to Fang Jianhui.
"Mr. Fang, I'm really troubling you this time. Before Ah Xiu took over the filming of Siyuan Pictures' film, Wu Siyuan didn't tell them that it was a salty and wet film. Now Wu Siyuan is using the contract to make matters worse.
"It's too much. I also hope that Mr. Fang can help tell Wu Siyuan this time, can you not let A Xiu and Rong Zai film this movie?"
Liu Pingkui knew Chen Baixiang, and Fang Jianhui also knew Chen Baixiang. Otherwise, how could Chen Baixiang bring a man and a woman beside him to Fang Jianhui's office today.
As the most powerful person in the Hong Kong film industry today, Fang Jianhui is not something everyone can see.
"Alek, although black and white images have some status in the Hong Kong film industry, the two people around you now, Leslie Cheung and Huang Xingxiu, have contracts with Siyuan Pictures, and both of them have contracts with TVB.
Yes, you should go to Liang Risi for this matter!"
It turned out that the two people brought by Chen Baixiang were Zhang Guoyuan and Huang Xingxiu.
Zhang Guoyi originally worked for Lai TV, but after Chu Huan saw him in Central, he asked Liang Yasi to sign him to TVB.
In another time and space, it is unclear when Chen Baixiang and Huang Xingxiu fell in love, but this time and space is different. Huang Xingxiu has joined TVB and previously participated in a variety show hosted by Chen Baixiang, and the two got to know each other through this.
And Chen Baixiang also fell in love with this aura girl at first sight and launched a vigorous pursuit. The two had just confirmed their relationship not long ago.
Just after the two confirmed their relationship, Huang Xingxiu received an invitation from Wu Siyuan. Without knowing much about the content of the movie, Huang Xingxiu signed a contract with Siyuan Pictures to prepare for the next movie, which is invested and shot by Siyuan Pictures.
"Spring in the Red Mansions", it turned out that it was not until the set that I found out that this movie actually had salty and wet scenes, which made Huang Xingxiu very unacceptable.
But with the contract in hand, she had no choice, and the same was true for Zhang Guoyi, who signed the contract with her. At the beginning, the two of them could only prepare to bite the bullet and shoot.
However, Chen Baixiang, who has become Huang Xingxiu's boyfriend, must not be able to accept it after learning about it, so this scene happened now!
"Mr. Fang, TVB and Black and White Video are from the same family, and in the film industry, your words, Mr. Fang, are definitely more effective than Mr. Liang's words. I really have no choice this time, and I hope Mr. Fang can help!
"
Fang Jianhui thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter. Since we already have a contract, we must proceed according to the contract. If Wu Siyuan defaults on the remuneration of the two of them, I will definitely
You can help, but if you ask me to help you talk about this matter, I can’t do it. Black and white images cannot take the lead in breaking the rules of the Hong Kong film and television industry!”
Black and White Video is now the rule setter in the Hong Kong film industry. We have contracts and act according to the contract. This itself is the rule set by Black and White Video.
Although Fang Jianhui knew that as long as he called Wu Siyuan, Wu Siyuan would not say anything, but this was breaking the rules set by the black and white video, which was equivalent to a slap in the face.
What's more, although Fang Jianhui knows that Chu Huan knows Chen Baixiang, Fang Jianhui doesn't know what the relationship is. In Fang Jianhui's view, except for Chen Baixiang, the other three people in front of him are newcomers and have no commercial value. Naturally, they are not.
Maybe I slapped myself in the face because of the two of them!
Seeing that Fang Jianhui was so sure, Chen Baixiang, Zhang Guoyuan, and Huang Xingxiu were helpless. Although Zhang Guoyuan could go to his godmother Tan Ailian to pay the liquidated damages, Zhang Guoyuan had never thought of it this way. He was a sensible person.
, this is your own business, there is no need to trouble your godmother.
The main reason why I came with Chen Baixiang today is because Huang Xingxiu and he are close friends. In addition, Chen Baixiang is very loyal, so he met Zhang Guoyi through Huang Xingxiu, and the two became friends. Now Huang Xingxiu is one
One person wanted to ask for help, but the two of them also wanted to ask for help, so they dragged Zhang Guoyi over.
The three of them left Fang Jianhui's office helplessly. They looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If Fang Jianhui didn't help, they really had no choice.
"It's a pity that Director Chu is not in Xiangjiang now. If Director Chu was in Xiangjiang, he would definitely help!" Chen Baixiang said helplessly.
Zhang Guoyi said: "Forget it, there is nothing we can do about it. Who told me and Axiu that we were deceived because of our lack of experience? Fortunately, in this movie, Axiu didn't have those scenes, and I was just a backer."
That’s all!”
Chen Baixiang said to Leslie Cheung: "Rongzi, please take care of our Axiu in the future on the set. If that bastard Wu Siyuan dares to expose Axiu, I will kill his whole family!"
Huang Xingxiu looked at Chen Baixiang's ferocious expression and grabbed Chen Baixiang's hand tightly.
"I know, Ah Le, don't worry!" Zhang Guoyi said seriously.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, the door to Fang Jianhui's office suddenly opened and Liu Pingkui walked out.
Liu Pingkui didn't know Zhang Guoyi and Huang Xingxiu before, but they all knew Liu Pingkui. After all, Liu Pingkui is also a first-class director in Hong Kong!
Naturally, Chen Baixiang also knew him.
The three of them greeted Liu Pingkui and were about to leave, but Liu Pingkui stopped them.
"Ale, wait a moment!"
The three of them stopped suspiciously and turned to look at Liu Pingkui.
Liu Pingkui said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, because he is in a different location, there are more things to consider. Don't blame him!"
Chen Baixiang hurriedly said: "No, we also know Mr. Fang's difficulties!"
Liu Pingkui nodded and continued: "But I heard Brother Huan talk about you before, Brother Huan also admires you very much. Today you finally came here because of your girlfriend's affairs. Mr. Fang
It's hard to tell over there, so I don't have such scruples. If the three of you have nothing to do, why not come to my office with me? I think Wu Siyuan will give me this face!"
When Chen Baixiang and the other three heard this, they were immediately surprised. They thought that the end of the road was over, but they didn't expect that there would be a bright future.
"Okay, okay!"
The three of them immediately followed Liu Pingkui to his office. In front of the three of them, Liu Pingkui called Wu Siyuan. Sure enough, as Liu Pingkui said, after receiving Liu Pingkui's call, Wu Siyuan could only say
I reluctantly agreed to terminate the contract with Zhang Guoyi and Huang Xingxiu.
"Thank you very much, Director Wu. I'm going to Hawaii for filming in the next two days. I'll treat Director Wu to a drink when I come back from Hawaii!"
Liu Pingkui said with a smile.
Wu Siyuan quickly said: "No problem, no problem!"
.
At the same time, a girl walked out of Hong Kong Marie Hospital. If Chu Huan saw her, she would definitely recognize her as the angle she had seen at the MOD club before.
At this time, angle held a test sheet in her hand, which showed that she was pregnant!
"It seems that breaking up with that loser was the right thing to do, but he did make some contribution and successfully got me pregnant, but he will never know that he has such a child!"
Angle had a look of joy on her face, thinking about the man she had broken up with before!
