232 【Intrigue】

Respect the guests' opinions, and brought Kakugawa Haruki and others to Yung Kee Restaurant in summer.

Yung Kee Restaurant is the most famous Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong, especially the signature dish Yung Kee Roast Goose, which is one of the top ten gifts in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Kakugawa, please." Xia Tian ordered a table of signature dishes, and then smiled at Haruki Kakugawa.

"Yeah, the taste is great." After tasting the roast goose, Haruki Kakugawa praised with satisfaction.

When Xia Tian saw it, she laughed happily.

He had eaten Japanese cuisine several times before. The first time he ate it was quite fresh, he thought it tasted good and the service was thoughtful. But after eating it a few times, the shortcomings of Japanese cuisine were exposed.

Although Japanese cuisine is widely used in ingredients, a variety of seafood and vegetables are also ever-changing and dazzling.

But to be honest, although the ingredients are very rich, the cooking methods of Japanese cuisine are too monotonous. They are either raw or steamed or fried or roasted. How can they be compared to the Chinese cuisine's fried, fried, roasted, stir-fried, stir-fried, boiled, blanched, shabu, steamed, stewed, stewed, stewed, stewed, stewed, braised, fried, fried, fried, fried, braised, sauce, stir-fried, stir-fried, marinated, frozen, stewed, drunk, roasted, smoked, and cooked with 28 cooking methods. They are so diverse that they are not greasy.

So I was not surprised at all when I saw Haruki Kakugawa eating roast goose.

"Xia Sang, let's talk about cooperation." After three rounds of wine, Haruki Kakugawa said to Xia Tian.

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded, "We hope Mr. Kakugawa can release our movie to Japan."

"I know, but Natsumi must also know that our Japanese market is not easy to enter. We need to spend a lot of energy and a lot of money to open up the situation." Kadokawa Haruki said.

"What are Mr. Kakugawa's conditions?" Xia Tian asked immediately.

"I heard from Liu Sang that Xia Sang can help us pay the issuance fee." Kadokawa Haruki said, "If this is the case, then the box office share will be divided equally by three shares."

"Mr. Kakugawa means, do we want to pay all the issuance fees for you?" Xia Tian asked quickly as soon as he heard this.

"Yes, that's it." Kakugawa Haruki smiled, "Why, Natsu Sang, isn't this what you promised? What's the problem?"

"Your sister!!! As a distribution company, you don't plan to pay a penny of the issuance fee, but you still have to pay one-third of the box office? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Do you think God is your father, and others will spoil you so much!!" Xia Tian cursed in his heart, wishing that he could give Haruki Kakukawa a dragon-subduing Eighteen Palms, which made him so hard that he didn't even dare to recognize him.

"Mr. Kakugawa may have misunderstood. I am saying that I am paying part of the issuance fee, not all." Xia Tian waved his hand.

The cost of film distribution is very high, especially in a country as big as Japan, the cost of film distribution may be as high as 100 million to 200 million yen. He is not a fool for such a large amount of money, so why would he be willing to pay it alone?

Hearing him say this, Haruki Kakugawa whispered to his men again, and then said to Xia Tian with a heavy face, "If that's the case, then the foundation for our cooperation will be gone. This is too bad, Xia Sang."

Xia Tian smiled slightly in his heart, "Then you don't cooperate to threaten me? OK! Anyway, if I take all the issuance fees, I won't make much money. Since that's the case, what else can I do?"

"It's okay, Mr. Kakugawa. There is a Chinese saying, 'Buying and dealings cannot be done,'. Although cooperation cannot be reached, you and I are still friends." Xia Tian smiled and then raised his glass, "Please!"

Seeing that he proposed to "stop, but Xia Tian was not at all panic, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he had to raise his glass and say, "Please!"

After dinner, Xia Tian asked Liu Weihong to take them to Lan Kwai Fong for entertainment as planned.

"Boss, they don't plan to cooperate with us anymore, why are they so kind to them?" Liu Weihong said indignantly.

Greedy ghosts like them who eat meat and don’t spit out bones, and they are considered cheap if they don’t beat them up.

"If you want to go, just go. Remember to have fun." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Mr. Kakugawa, I still have something to do, so I won't go with you."

"Okay, Natsu Sang, we will take care of ourselves." Haruki Kakugawa also smiled.

After Liu Weihong took them away, Xia Tian sneered, "You want to test me, and think I will be afraid of you if you threaten 'not cooperate with me'? Joke! I have been in the world for many years and will be frightened by you, a little Japanese! Tip!!"

...

The next day, when Xia Tian returned to the company, the phone came.

As soon as he was Liu Weihong, Xia Tian smiled and said, "How is it? Did you have fun yesterday?"

"It's okay. Those Japanese people don't drink much at all, and they'll pour all three bottles of whiskey." Liu Weihong curled his lips, "I saw them drinking, drinking one sip at a time, and drinking so generously, I thought they had a great alcohol tolerance. It turned out that they were all silver-shaped gun tips."

"The Japanese sake level is low, which is similar to that of red wine. Of course, it's okay to stuff it with a mouthful. How can you compare with whiskey for 40 degrees?" Xia Tian smiled, "Then what are they doing now?"

"I said I wanted to play in Hong Kong, so I asked me to recommend a few fun places." Liu Weihong said unhappily, "Boss, do you think they are human beings? You don't cooperate with us anymore, and you have to use people again. You're really a bastard."

"Don't complain so much. Since they want to play, let's take them around." Xia Tian smiled, "I finally came to Hong Kong, so we always have to do the best of the landlords."

"Okay, I get it, boss." Liu Weihong nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yixin also walked in.

"How is it, Brother Tian, ​​how is the cooperation with the Japanese going? Is it going well?" he asked curiously.

Xia Tian shook his head and told him about his experience yesterday.

"Don't lose his mother! These Japanese guys are so good at making a plan. They don't even plan to pay a penny of the issuance fee, but they still want to get one-third of the box office?! It's just a daydream!" Chen Yixin stomped his feet and scolded the streets.

"Brother Tian, ​​tell me where they are now. I went over and slapped them with big mouths. See how thick their faces are, and they dared to put forward such shameless conditions." Chen Yixin said angrily again.

"Fuck! If you are so uncontrollable, be careful I will slap you two first." Xia Tian cursed, "Now the Japanese are just fighting with us for patience. Let's see who can't hold on and step back first. Don't mess with me!"

"Brother Tian, ​​how do you know?" Chen Yixin asked in confusion when he heard this.

"This is not simple. If they don't plan to cooperate this time, why should the president bring people in person?! After the cooperation breaks down, they still have fun in Hong Kong? What's so fun in Hong Kong?" Xia Tian curled his lips.

"Brother Tian, ​​you are smart and have seen through the Japanese devils' tricks." Chen Yixin felt it made sense when he heard this, and praised with a smile.

"Okay, stop flattering." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "How is the theater chain?"

"It's pretty good. The total box office of "Zombie Family" has reached 18 million now, and the attendance rate is still 60%. I think it can exceed 20 million today. It will not be a problem to exceed 25 million in the future." Chen Yixin hurriedly reported.

"And Brother Tian, ​​you made the project that sells peach wood sword and gossip mirror, which is really popular now. You can sell thousands of pieces in a day." Chen Yixin smiled again, "My dad is busy now, which makes me a little worried about his body."

When Xia Tian came up with this idea before, he thought it was a nonsense. After all, no one in Hong Kong had done this before. But he didn't expect that it would become very popular when it was sold. Many viewers who watched this movie would buy one and take it home before leaving.

Chen Yixin’s father is a prop teacher. He has worked hard and happy these days. He earns ten yuan for a peach wood sword and eight yuan for a gossip mirror. Now he can earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a day, which makes his father very energetic.

"Okay, don't let your dad work too hard. As for money, is it endless to make money, or is it more important to your health." Xia Tian smiled, "There are still more opportunities to make money like this in the future."

"Yes, I will tell him." Chen Yixin nodded.

...

In the evening, Liu Weihong called again to report the progress to Xiatian.

"Boss, they really played for a day today! Let's take them to Victoria Harbor, to Shatin Race Farm, and to Jiahe Set... It doesn't look like they are going to talk about business." Liu Weihong said.

"Have you ever seen ducks paddling? On the surface, the clouds are calm, but in fact, the water is rushing tightly." Xia Tian smiled, "You have been following them all the time today, so why do they negotiate business in front of you?"

"You don't have to worry about what they do, you just need to take good care of their diet and daily life." Xia Tian instructed again.

"Yes, boss." Liu Weihong nodded.

In the next two days, Haruki Kakugawa asked Liu Weihong to take them around in Hong Kong, and even asked to visit Xinyi City and Debao, which scared Liu Weihong into a cold sweat.

"Boss, what should I do? They want to visit Xinyi City and Debao!" He quickly reported.

"Let them go." Xia Tian smiled.

Xinyi City has always been inadequate in its overseas enterprising spirit and is only satisfied with the local, Taiwan and Nanyang markets. If Haruki Kakugawa wants to cooperate with them under such harsh conditions, Xinyi City will never do it.

The output of works by Tobo Film Company is too low, and the quality is just average. Haruki Kakugawa works with them, and the benefits are far less than that of working with himself.

So Xia Tiandao is determined that Kadokawa Haruki just made a fake move, and the purpose is to force himself to make concessions and accept his conditions in full.

...

As expected, after Liu Weihong agreed to take them to Xinyi City, Haruki Kakugawa refused again. Because they had already contacted the senior management of Xinyi City before and had no cooperation plan at all.
