239 [200 million big move]
"That is to say, the three of you can get 4.528,000 yuan today. As for the future release of movies to Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and even the United States, and even the distribution of videotapes, I will share them with you again." Xia Tian said again.
Hearing him say this, the three companies, Xinyi City, Darong and Debao, were very happy.
Their bid for 10% was only 3.5 million, but now they have a return of 4.5 million. If they add box offices in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and other places, as well as videotape revenue, they are afraid they will not have doubled their profits, which really makes them very excited.
When several other film companies saw that Xia Tian really fulfilled his promise and distributed 30% of the profits. Moreover, these 30% of the profits were so high, they couldn't help but feel a little upset. If they had known this, they would have been a little higher at the beginning. Then wouldn't this money be my own?!
"Everyone, do you still have any questions about my allocation?" Xia Tian asked again.
"No, no..." Everyone present shook their heads together.
Just kidding! In less than three months, I returned 4.52 million yuan, with a monthly interest rate of nearly 10%, which is more cost-effective than loan sharks. Idiots have questions!
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll send the money." Xia Tian said, and then handed over three cash checks to the three companies, "Thank you for your original support!"
"Mr. Xia, your company is now booming and has a strong capital, so it should be fine to lead yourself. Will you still do 'crowdfunding' in the future to help us make a fortune?" Deng Guangrong said to Xia Tian with a smile after taking the check.
After hearing what he said, everyone present looked at Xiatian curiously, wondering how he would answer. Indeed, with the terrifying profit speed of Tianxia Pictures, he can be self-sufficient and no longer need to absorb external funds. Doesn’t that mean giving money to others to spend?
"Mr. Deng asked this question well. To be honest, our Tianxia Pictures no longer needs to rely on external funds. We can meet the needs of filming with our own strength." Xia Tian nodded and said.
Seeing that he admitted this, everyone here looked at each other in a panic and was afraid of losing this opportunity to make money.
"But I don't plan to end this 'crowdfunding' model." Xia Tian said again, which suddenly made everyone's eyes lit up.
"Because I earn money, there are many other uses that I can't be used to make movies. In fact, what I want to do, even if it's 200 million more, isn't enough," Xia Tian explained.
"Hey, Ah Tian, what are you doing with that much money?" Xiang Huasheng asked curiously.
"That's the trade secret, I can't tell you." Xia Tian waved his hand. He wanted to raise funds to make a fortune with the square agreement. This matter is of great importance, and of course it cannot be known to outsiders.
Everyone was surprised to see that he was going to use 200 million yuan. They didn't know what he was going to do?!
Everyone speculated, but they didn't know the key points. However, seeing that Xia Tian was so active, they couldn't help but worry, worried that Xia Tian would be unfavorable to them.
"Okay, everyone, if there are no other questions, let's go out to have a drink, so don't let everyone wait in a hurry." Xia Tian said again.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Everyone agreed and walked out one after another.
...
"A Tian, what do you want 200 million yuan to do? Do you have any big plans to make a fortune? Let me reveal it!" Xiang Huasheng inquired excitedly.
"Brother Sheng, don't ask so much. It's a commercial secret." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "But if you are willing to invest, I can calculate 20% of the annual interest. Within one year, all the principal and interest will be returned."
"A 20% annual interest rate?! What kind of business is so profitable? Smuggling, poisoning, arms?!" Xiang Huasheng was shocked when he heard this.
"Don't ask so much. If you can trust me, invest in me. If you don't trust me, then stop talking." Xia Tian said.
"Then you want 200 million that much, I have to ask first, otherwise why would you explain to my elder brother?" Xiang Huasheng said, "I can trust you, but it doesn't mean that my elder brother and others can trust you."
"That's it." Xia Tian shook his head. The fact that he wanted to use the square agreement to speculate foreign exchange was definitely a commercial secret. Once it was leaked and others followed suit and eventually formed an avalanche effect, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, maybe he would not make a penny, but he would lose all his money.
"Oh, you..." Xiang Huasheng felt even more curious when he saw Xia Tian rather than lend money than reveal what the money was for.
...
"You said, what can you do if you need to use 200 million yuan in summer?" Wu Siyuan asked curiously.
"Two million yuan of funds, but it's really a lot. Such a large amount of money can do a lot of things." Deng Guangrong said.
"Two million funds can do a lot of things, but some things can be done without 200 million funds." He Guanchang waved his hand and said, "What we want to think about now is that there is something that requires 200 million funds to do.
"Acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas in a comprehensive manner." Huang Baiming thought for a while and said, "The 200 million yuan of funds should be almost the same, right?"
"It's almost done, but Debao may not be sold, right?" Everyone looked at Cen Jianxun and said.
Although Debao has theaters, it is much slower than Tianxia Pictures, which keeps filming. There is no movie being filmed yet, which makes everyone very unfavorable to this company.
"Of course I won't sell it anymore, what a joke!" Cen Jianxun said with a straight face.
Shaw Brothers Cinemas is now the biggest capital for Debao to rise. As long as the theater is in hand, Debao will have a time of success. How could he choose to sell it now?
"What else can you do if you didn't buy a theater?" Everyone asked in confusion again.
"Two million Hong Kong dollars can build a film and television city." Huang Baiming thought for a while.
"Will he make such a big investment? You Xinyi City also has no film and television city, isn't it doing a good job?" Wu Siyuan asked back.
Although Jiahe and Shaw both have their own sets, other film companies in Hong Kong did not have this facility and rented other sets for filming. This is mainly because building a cinema is too expensive, and it is impossible to handle it without 200 million to 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
Many Hong Kong film companies are actually bag companies, and most of them have to rely on external funds to make movies. It is difficult for them to spend 20 to 30 million in one go, let alone 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Besides, most of the previous Hong Kong movies were films from ancient costumes or the Republic of China period, and the scenery was necessary. But now most of the Hong Kong movies are modern urban films, so there is no need to build a film and television city, and you can film anytime in the city.
"Can you plan to poach?" Deng Guangrong suddenly asked, "I heard that he has dug a lot of people over the past few months and has passed."
"I have heard of it too. Wu Yusen from Xinyi City, Yuan Kui from Jiahe, Wang Jing from Shaw Brothers, Liu Dehua from TVB, Mei Yanfang and so on." Wu Siyuan nodded, "It seems that he is going to do something big."
"Oh, I've been looking for second-tier characters, what's so surprising?" He Guanchang said disdainfully.
Whether it is Yuan Kui, Wu Yusen, or Wang Jing, they can only be regarded as second-tier directors, and there is nothing to make a fuss. He doesn't believe that Xia Tian can make a fortune with these people.
"Oh, don't say that. The 200 million yuan of funds is enough to dig up your Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao." Cen Jianxun said.
"It's right! I heard that they had a happy cooperation with each other and often used scripts written by Xia Tian." Huang Baiming smiled, "Summer is rich and talented, so they may not be unwilling to be with him."
"You..." He Guanchang almost spurted out an old blood.
These bastards are just jealous of Jiahe having three pillars, wanting to provoke discord and destroy their relationship, and their intentions are so vicious!
"Okay, don't be busy making fun of us first. You guys are not without great actors and directors." He Guanchang sneered, "There is Xu Guanjie and Lin Zixiang in New Art City. I also heard that he has poached Aijia Zhang, and may not be able to poach your happy girl group in the future..."
"Uh..." After hearing what he said, everyone here couldn't help but worry.
If Xia Tian really wants to poach, based on his current status, fame and financial resources, it is estimated that few people will not be moved.
"If this is the case, what should I do?" someone asked worriedly.
In addition to the Xinyi City and large companies like Jiahe have sufficient talent reserves, many other film companies do not have any talent reserves, only two or three big cats. If they are poached in summer, it is really equivalent to uprooting, and for them, it is undoubtedly a catastrophe.
"What else can you do? If you haven't signed the contract, you should sign the contract quickly. If you have signed the contract, you will increase the compensation for the contract. In this way, he will not be able to poach people. Even if he finally finds it, you can get a huge compensation. With money, just give it another one?" Deng Guangrong thought for a while and said.
"It makes sense!" Everyone nodded frequently after hearing what he said.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" At this time, Xia Tian walked over with a glass of wine and smiled.
"Nothing, nothing." Everyone waved their hands tacitly.
"Oh." Xia Tian smiled, "Come on, I'll give you a drink."
"Cheers!" everyone responded.
"By the way, Ah Tian, have you paid attention to the "Movie Censorship Ordinance" that the Hong Kong government has recently made?" He Guanchang asked.
"I've followed it, but there's no news recently. I wonder what's going on?" Xia Tian asked.
"It is said that the Hong Kong government is unwilling to delegate power. After all, movies have a great influence. They are afraid that once they delegate power, movies like Tang Shuxuan's "Goodbye China" may appear." He Guanchang explained.
