Chapter 364 Kowloon Film and Television City

Whether in the mainland or in Hong Kong in the previous life, what kind of business is most likely to produce the richest man? And the richest man?
Of course it’s TMD Real Estate!
Didn’t a famous expert from Peking University and Tsinghua University say that when our descendants look back on these 30 years, they will definitely say that we have made money that will end our family lineage?
Come to think of it, Hong Kong is a damn colony, but what about the mainland?

Seeing Wang Deming's excited look, Li Hanxiang and others were a little stunned and looked at each other.

There was a common meaning in the looks of several people.

Before, this man didn't care about either the film companies or the theaters. He just casually gave a few million dollars to his three wives to play with, without caring about whether he made money or lost money.

It seems like you think the business is too small?

Even if several million US dollars are converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would still be more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not even worth the price.

Yes, I heard that they did business with the Americans and directly got 7000 million US dollars, and directly spent tens of millions of US dollars to buy nearly acres of land and factories in Guantang in one go. I heard that the pharmaceutical factory they opened can make at least tens of millions of US dollars a year.

The pharmaceutical factory is not the owner's only business.

Cuiying and Hongwei don't even go to Shao's now. They go to Wang's manor every day to help take care of his three wives and take care of their confinement. From what we see and hear on weekdays, this owner has shares in the shipping tycoons Bao and Dong's families; the cotton yarn tycoons Chen's family; the wool spinning tycoons Cao's family; the diamond tycoons Zhou's family, etc.
Yes, the Huo family, who is like a family, is also indispensable.

However, if it is really like what the host just said, the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it would cost at least 1000 million US dollars, right? Almost million Hong Kong dollars, right?

Is this really not a dream?
"Well, Mr. Wang, how about we start with the ancient buildings of the Han Dynasty?" Li Hanxiang hesitated, fearing that he would suddenly wake up from this dream. "Look, when Jin Quan and I discussed the setting of Xi Shi, we considered using materials from the Han Dynasty as a supplement to the Spring and Autumn Period, and we could reuse them when filming Wang Zhaojun."

"Without magnificence, one cannot enhance prestige, and prevent future generations from adding to it."

"what?"

Wang Deming touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked seriously, "Director Li, according to historical records, the Weiyang Palace is six times larger than the Forbidden City, about 6 acres. Not to mention the entire palace, even if you add the Front Hall, Xuanshi Hall, Chengming Hall, and Shufang Hall, they will take more than ten acres each. Do we also need to build the East and West Markets? The investment for this dynasty alone is not small. What do you think?"

Li Hanxiang's eyes were dull. What the hell am I going to think about it?

I just came to sign a photo contract with the director, and then see if I can get more shares, whether it's a studio or building an ancient street of about a hundred meters. On the one hand, it will be convenient for subsequent filming without having to rent someone else's; on the other hand, I'm a little worried that Boss Wang might look like he's just playing around.

Even if I proposed to build a Han Dynasty building, I didn't mention the Weiyang Palace? Or the East and West Markets? Are we going to build another Chang'an in the Han Dynasty?
He looked numbly at the serious Wang Deming opposite him, then turned his head left and right to look at Er Guang and Hu Jinquan beside him. His mouth opened and closed twice, but there was no sound.

"Director Li?"

"Ah!" Li Hanxiang made up his mind and said in a grand manner: "Mr. Wang, if it were you, we should just build a smaller version of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty!"

"Look, if we shoot a few more movies about the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, we can promote this Han Palace Qin Tiles. In addition to shooting movies, we can also sell tickets. It's a little difficult to recover the cost, but it will definitely be no problem to keep it going."

After saying that, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he tell the truth again?
"Makes sense."

"Ah!" This was beyond Li Hanxiang's expectation. What did the boss Wang say? Makes sense? Do rich people really not take money as money? He was stunned again.

"Director Li, Director Li?" Wang Deming waved in front of Li Hanxiang's eyes to make him come back to his senses. "Ah, Mr. Wang, go ahead."

"Well, let's make building a film and television city a long-term plan. I will contact the classical architecture experts in the mainland and make a design according to our requirements. On your side, please write down your requirements for filming the movie. When the time comes, I will invite them to Hong Kong and we can have a discussion together."

Wang Deming returned the notebook to Li Hanxiang. Looking at his still slightly dull expression, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Where is this going?

There's no need for a belt. In the past life, if any real estate tycoon wanted a film and television city or an amusement park, he would just allocate thousands of acres of land with a simple move.
What? You said the future will be a mess? What does that have to do with me? How can you tell a story without a good plan? How can you cheat money from both sides?

As long as you get the land, the banks will rush to give you money, right? The stock market will definitely go up!

How can I sell off my holdings to those bulls and horses at the bottom if the stock price doesn’t rise?

Are people of this era too lacking in imagination? Or are the wealthy elites of the previous continent already two different races from ordinary people?
It's just a dozen acres of land, why are you emo?
"Director Li, do you have any other requests? Like shares or something? As the saying goes, we brothers should settle accounts clearly."

"Oh," Li Hanxiang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask for anything. He said dryly, "For the rest, we'll pay according to Shaw Brothers' standards, 1 or 5 Hong Kong dollars per movie, and we'll be paid a few movies a year."

Li Hanxiang felt bitter. He had planned to get a 10% stake, but the other party was so generous in building a film and television city. How much money would it cost? Not to mention a 10% stake, even a 1% stake would be an astronomical figure, right?

How can I open my mouth?

He turned his head to look at Er Guang and King Hu beside him, and they were both in the same daze.
"This is not good. Please wait for a moment."

Wang Deming stood up and went back to his desk, pressing the call button: "Call lawyer Jerry and ask him to prepare a few standard contracts. I'm discussing cooperation with Li Hanxiang and several directors about the film company, and I need him to handle the contract issues."

"I have always believed that it is difficult for a company to do well if it only has a relationship between the boss and the employees!" Wang Deming took the Zhonghua cigarettes from the desk and gave them to Li Hanxiang and the other two. After lighting one himself, he threw the lighter to Li Hanxiang.

He crossed his legs and puffed out a cigarette. "We all work to earn a living, why bother? What does the boss's money have to do with me?"

"You think so?"

"So, you still have to have shares. Of course, not just the three of you, but everyone who joins in later will have shares."

Seeing Li Hanxiang's expression slightly changed and about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to pay money right from the start. In the beginning, there will only be dividends, and the real shares will be deducted from your salary later, or you can buy them with your own money, it's up to you."

"Erguang Productions, if the film and television city is built, it will most likely be placed under the name of an advertising company, so you and Sister Hongwei will own very little of the shares, so you should be mentally prepared."

"Director Li, Director Hu, how much of the film company's shares do you think you can take? I guess it'll only be a small portion, but you can always apply to us for purchase based on the company's market value in the future."

"Any more questions?"

　I am very grateful for the support of my fellow readers. I can't continue writing about the period in Beijing because it's a bit too deep. I changed to the Hong Kong scene. I originally planned to write about the activities of the workers in 67, but I just started to lay the groundwork. After consulting, I can't write anymore. After going around in circles, I can only write a pretentious article. Obviously, there are all kinds of books like Thirty Years of Hard Work, Red Wall Blueprints, and Memories of the Storm that are selling well. I prepared in vain.
