Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 407 A Pan of Xiangjiang's Family Property
No matter how and when Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai make a decision, Tang Huan can handle it with ease, because he has enough cards.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the car drove towards Xie Ning's residence.

I have to say that it is too easy for Tang Huan, who is now a big landlord in Xiangjiang, to send a house abroad.

But Xie Ning, who is only 20 years old this year, is only willing to live in this high-end apartment, but he is not willing to accept the property.

Regarding this kind of reserve, Tang Huan just smiled slightly, and did not force it. Anyway, he is not a ruthless person.

As soon as the door was opened, a scent of zongzi wafted out.

Tang Huan, who was in a good mood, sniffed it a few times, and praised: "A Ning is really ingenious, and he even knows how to make rice dumplings by himself."

"Maybe I have a bit of talent for cooking." Xie Ning let Tang Huan in with a shy smile, "Want to taste it?"

"Of course. Didn't you see that I didn't go anywhere after socializing with people from the company. Did I come here specially to taste your craftsmanship?"

Xie Ning happily offered Tang Huansheng steaming rice dumplings, "This is ham, don't say it's not delicious."

"I want to say it's not delicious, but I have no chance." Tang Huan said vaguely.

Xie Ning, who was praised so much that his eyes turned into crescents, continued to offer treasures and brought a plate of dim sum, "Then try this again."

"Butterfly Crisp." Tang Huan, whose eyes lit up, quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, "Crispy and crispy, delicious, delicious."

After putting away some side dishes, Xie Ning sat across from him, resting his chin on one hand, and said with a smile, "Then eat slowly, it's all yours."

After a hearty meal, Tang Huan, who was drinking water, was thoughtful, "It's a pity that you don't open a shop and become a master chef with your craftsmanship."

"I'm just a hobby, I can't reach the level of opening a shop." Xie Ning shook his head embarrassingly.

"If you don't try it, how do you know that your ability is not enough?" Tang Huan looked into Xie Ning's eyes and encouraged him: "My foundation in Xiangjiang has a special project to help young people start their own businesses. You can apply for it and start a business." A cookie shop, take a special route, maybe it will be a big success. I have helped you choose the name, it is called Cookie Duo."

"Cookie Duo!" Xie Ning was eager to try, "Then what about my job at DreamWorks, I am reluctant to part with the makeup I just learned a little bit."

"Little idiot, the cookie duet is just your side job. According to the recipe, you just need to direct others to do it. Besides, you can ask your family to help." Tang Huan pointed patiently and carefully.

While listening carefully, Xie Ning chanted the name of the store "Cookie Duo" from time to time, and the eyes he looked at Tang Huan couldn't help becoming more gentle.

……

The next day, after breakfast, Tang Huan told Xie Ning, "I'm going to Europe and America soon, take care of yourself, don't get tired of starting a business, and don't make me regret the idea of ​​a cookie duet."

"Got it." Xie Ning agreed crisply while helping Tang Huan put on his leather shoes.

It is really rare for such a young girl to live at home like this.After Tang Huan offered a farewell ceremony affectionately, he went out to get in the car.

Picking up today's newspaper, Tang Huan habitually glanced at the financial news first, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It turns out that the Hong Kong government has let out rumors that it will amend the company acquisition and merger regulations.

One of the contents is to reduce the definition of "controlling rights" of listed companies from the previous 50.00% one shareholding ratio to 30.00% five shareholding ratios.

Major shareholders who own 30.00% of the shares can increase their holdings to 40.00% within one year. If this number is exceeded, a full acquisition will be proposed.

Once a non-major shareholder absorbs 30.00% of a company's shares, it will publicly propose an acquisition.

Obviously, after the definition of controlling right is revised accordingly, the difficulty for external forces to covet control of a company will increase virtually.

"After throwing away Jardine and Landmark by surprise, the British are also quick to make up for it." Tang Huan sneered, thinking that this move was not to prevent himself from continuing to annex British-funded enterprises, but it was just that he was so impatient that he really didn't care. identity.

Tang Huan dismissed this, but there was one thing he was very concerned about. It was intriguing that he hadn't received any news about such a plan in advance.

You know, Jardine Taipan has been an unofficial member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Government for a long time.Could it be said that Newbikin had signs of being excluded from the circle by the British?

There is quite a lot of news today, and Tang Huan has seen some developments in the "left-wing" camp in the Xiangjiang film industry.

After 1949, many film workers from Shanghai immigrated to Xiangjiang, and successively established the Great Wall Production Company, which featured social realistic Mandarin films, and Phoenix Film Company, which featured comedic Mandarin films and opera films. , Xinlian Film Company, which specializes in shooting Cantonese films.

In 1981, in order to shoot "Shaolin Temple", Zhongyuan Film Production Company was established.

Due to the success of "Shaolin Temple" and the changes in the Hong Kong film industry, these companies will join forces to form Yindu Organization Limited.In terms of theaters, changes will also follow.

At this stage, Xiangjiang has four major Chinese cinema lines: Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Golden Princess Cinemas, which were previously Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas.

Among them, the Shuangnan Cinema Line mainly screens films from The Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian, and Zhongyuan, and also acts as an agent for films from mainland China and the Soviet Union.

Now, this Shuangnan Cinemas will be renamed as Yindu Cinemas.

Tang Huan clicked his lips, thinking that even the "left-wing" film camp, which is not very sensitive to commercial interests, has begun to concentrate resources. It is more reasonable for him, a businessman, to plan to monopolize Xiangjiang Cinemas. This is the general trend of industry development. ah.

Looking at the word "Yindu", Tang Huan couldn't help but smiled knowingly. This company is not simple. The films it produces can be directly released in the Chinese mainland market, and the filming can be started directly without the approval of the script by the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. In the film, the title of a "state-owned enterprise" has exhausted the mystery.

Du Qifeng and Zhong Chuhong's first entry into the film field - "Blue Water, Cold Mountains and the Gold", as well as the popular "The Grandmaster" in the original time and space, were both produced in Yindu.

Overall, its output is not high.Perhaps, this point can be written about.

While Tang Huan was thinking, he flipped through the newspaper and found that the entertainment news of "Ming Pao" had a relatively complete report on Deng Lijun's concert yesterday. talent.

Seeing the place, Tang Huan, who felt very interesting, smiled lightly, put down the newspaper, opened the car door, and walked into the office. The documents to be reviewed had already been placed on the desk.

Tang Huan didn't rush to deal with it, but came to the drawing board and carefully looked at the schematic diagram of the structure of the Xiangjiang industry under his name drawn on it.

These companies are roughly divided into two fields - industry and entertainment.

The industrial field mainly includes Zheru Xiangjiang Company, which was first established, and the even larger Qinhe Group, which was just acquired from the British.

Qinhe Strategy in the Qinhe Department, in addition to cross-holding with Qinhe Holdings to form a new chain ship structure to ensure the control of the entire group, is also responsible for strategic investment related matters.

It can be said that as an investment company, Qinhe's strategy is on the bright side, while Tang Huan's previous actions such as sniping Wharf, speculating on Carrian stock, acquiring Jardine and Landmark, etc., deliberately Keep a low profile without being overt.

The real estate company, a big landlord, actually gave up its original listing status to Qinhe Holdings when it was privatized.

The four companies separated from the real estate company - Xiangjiang Telephone belongs to the communication industry, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting belongs to the energy industry, Mandarin Hotel belongs to the hotel investment and management industry, and Milk Company belongs to the retail industry.

As for Jardine, the fields involved are even more complicated, and even the business area includes South Africa and other places in addition to the Asia-Pacific region.

However, Qinhe Technology and Qinhe Infrastructure, which were spun off from Jardine, did not have a substantial impact on Jardine, and their purpose was only to meet Tang Huan's investment needs in mainland China.

In the field of entertainment, there are now two main parts, namely Media Asia Television and DreamWorks.

Media Asia TV is actively developing into a professional international media organization according to the positioning given by Tang Huan after transferring its artist resources to DreamWorks and jumping out of the circle of blindly competing with TVB for ratings.

It has to be said that Media Asia TV is a money-burning guy. Tang Huan, a technology madman, invested tens of millions of dollars just to update various equipment, and he simply gave away the items that were eliminated. The Nanyue Provincial TV Station has won a big favor.

If it weren't for the limitations of viewing groups and regions, Tang Huan would have planned to let Media Asia TV star.

However, with the inevitable immigrant wave coming from Xiangjiang and Tang Huan's upcoming industrial layout, it won't be too far to be a star on Media Asia TV.

It is precisely because of these large sums of investment that Media Asia TV has been losing money on the books, but the money comes from Tang Huan, the absolute major shareholder, so he doesn't care, and others will naturally not speak out.

Of course, if so much money is spent, there will definitely be repercussions. For example, Media Asia TV frequently attends meetings of international industry organizations such as the Asian Broadcasting and Television Federation, and has become the media organization that best represents Hong Kong.

Auxiliary benefits like these are not something a TVB operator like Run Run Shaw who only cares about commercial interests can see through and be willing to play.

Compared with Media Asia TV's specialized media goals, Dreamworks, as a comprehensive provider of Chinese-language entertainment content, is expanding rapidly. Its business scope includes movies, records, TV dramas, variety shows, comics, literature, electronic games and other fields.

In addition to DreamWorks Cinemas, its subsidiaries also include DreamWorks Publishing Company, DreamWorks Art Special Effects Company, etc.

Among the film satellite companies of DreamWorks, Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Co., Ltd. is the most successful. This year, there is already a work with a box office of over [-] million - "Beware of Little Hands".

Although the satellite company of Wang Jing, Xu Ke, and Shi Nansheng did not achieve such brilliant results, the commercial benefits of "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes" and "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" are also considerable.

After finishing the second part of "Fang Shiyu", Wang Jing's "Hua_Xin Da Shao" and Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" will also be put on the agenda. DreamWorks and Yongjia Films also intend to invite The popular Alan Tam filmed a new film "Xiao Sheng Afraid".

In addition, Huamei Entertainment, a distribution company aiming to deal with mainland China, Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Hollywood, although not very well-known, has done a very solid job.

After the establishment of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, it will be like the "Film Biweekly" and the Hong Kong Film Awards. Although there is no obvious transfer of commercial interests, it will play a subtle auxiliary role.

Tang Huan's fingers slowly slid across the company names on the drawing board one by one, corresponding to the names of the people in his heart and the industrial layout one by one.

At this time, Zhou Mi walked over, looked at the Jardine department above, and said slowly: "We snatched such a big fat piece of meat and ate it in our mouths. Maybe the British Far East commercial interest group is thinking about it. I hate it. When you go to England this time, you have to be prepared for something bad."

"In my opinion, although the British Far East commercial interest group can dominate Xiangjiang, but in the UK, it is no different from ordinary interest groups, or even worse." Tang Huan snorted disdainfully.

"Have you thought about which companies in the Qinhe Department are listed?" Seeing that Tang Huan didn't care about the trip to the UK, Zhou Mi asked casually.

"In addition to Qinhe Strategy, companies such as Milk Company and Mandarin Hotel can all go public." Tang Huan replied slowly: "However, the Hong Kong stock market is so bad now, it seems that we will have to wait until the future of Xiangjiang is completely settled. Only then can it be carried out.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan pondered for a while, "If funds are really tight, it might be possible to go to Singapore, Australia, or even the United Kingdom for listing and financing."

"What about Media Asia TV and DreamWorks?" Zhou Mi's eyes fell on the entertainment industry, which was obviously smaller in scale.

"Don't think about them for the time being. The commercial value of Media Asia TV and DreamWorks is not attractive enough now." Tang Huan shook his head, and said solemnly to Zhou Mi: "The Qinhe department will be handed over to you. Something is tied to freedom."

"No problem." Zhou Mi laughed, "I'm getting used to being a local rich man in Xiangjiang."

"Let's go, before we leave for the UK, we have another meeting to remind everyone and sound the alarm." Tang Huan picked up the document and walked to the conference room. Niubijian, Bao Fuda, Ma Shimin, Huo Jianning and other close relatives, It's all here.
