Chapter 161 Acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas

In 1980, Run Run Shaw became the largest shareholder of TVB and served as chairman of the board of directors. During the same period, Shaw Brothers' film business continued to shrink, with fewer films, and all theaters were sold in 1985. By May 1987, Shaw Brothers announced that it would stop producing films.

At this time, Fatty Wang has arrived at the place of Mr. Run Run Shaw, a legendary film legend.

His mission this time was to talk to Uncle Six about the theater chain under his name.

Knowing that Uncle Liu was planning to sell out Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Lin Chengcheng immediately called Fatty Wang and told him to contact his father immediately and express his intention to acquire it.

So this time Fatty Wang is here.

Lin Cheng admires Uncle Liu very much. Although he is not a good father, he must be a good patriotic entrepreneur.

No matter when, he never forgot to repay his motherland.

In Lin Cheng's time, no matter where you are, you have basically seen the Shaw School funded by Mr. Run Run Shaw.

This is why Lin Cheng respects him. He uses his actions to repay the motherland. Unlike some people who only have money in their eyes, have no idea where their roots are, and use their own way to squeeze their own people.

Everyone must know this man. Although he is also a legend, he can only be a legend in business. In terms of life, there is no comparison with these true patriots.

Fatty Wang has arrived here, and now he is alone here.

Uncle Shao Liu hasn't come yet.

He said in his heart:

"If this acquisition is successful, we won't have to worry about the scheduling of Oriental Media's movies in the future. Then we won't have to look at other people's opinions, and we will be able to produce movies better."

His purpose this time is not just to acquire theaters, he is also planning to poach some people from Radio and bring them back. After all, whenever a company wants to develop, it needs talents, and if you want to find such film and television talents on Hong Kong Island, the best place to find them is of course Radio.

So Fatty Wang came up with his idea here.

He thought that Radio was not involved in the film business anyway, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to poach some film talents, right?

In this way, I solved some troubles for Uncle Six, and he should thank me.

While Fatty Wang was still thinking, Uncle Six and Aunt Six arrived slowly.

After looking at Uncle Liu and the others, Fatty Wang stood up consciously.

"Six uncles and six aunts."

Because of Fatty Wang's father's stay, Fatty Wang has known Run Run Shaw and the others for a long time, so they are relatively familiar with them.

"Okay, sit down. I didn't expect that after you left our radio, you established your own film company so quickly, and now your Oriental Media is very famous. I don't know if you have any ideas about returning to radio. I can give you the best treatment.”

Radio movies can no longer be produced, and Uncle Six has not forgotten to recruit people at this time.

Fatty Wang said: "Uncle Six, if it were in the past, I would have agreed to you without hesitation, but now that your movie production is about to stop, I can't do anything when I come back."

Uncle Liu said:

"You see, even Oriental Media can be brought up by you. I believe that you can revive Shaw Brothers Movies when you come back, so I am more optimistic about you. You who come back should also know that our radio station's status in Hong Kong Island is not You can compare with a small Oriental Media. The platform here is larger and more suitable for your development."

Fatty Wang said:

"Thank you Uncle Six for your kindness, but I am very good at Oriental Media and have not considered changing places. Uncle Six, my purpose of coming today must have been reported to you by our father, right?"

Run Run Shaw nodded.

He knew that Fatty Wang would refuse, but as a talent lover, he also wanted to try to see if he could poach Fatty Wang back.

"Then Uncle Six, let's get back to business. This time, I represent Oriental Media to acquire Shaw Brothers Film Company and all theaters. I wonder what Uncle Six thinks?"

Run Run Shaw said:

"We are indeed selling film companies and theater chains, and there are many people contacting us now, and the prices are very good. The reason why I met you this time is because of your father's place. But it's not that I don't like Oriental Media. You want to acquire it. My film company and theater chain, I don’t know if you have the money, after all, what I want is cash.”

Fatty Wang said:

"Thank you Uncle Six for being able to meet me. Just like what Uncle Six said, we at Oriental Media may not be able to spend that much money for acquisitions, but Uncle Six should also know that there are people behind us at Oriental Media. If we can't take it out, it doesn't mean the people behind us. Can’t take it out.”

Run Run Shaw said:

"Are you talking about those people in Kowloon?"

Fatty Wang nodded.

It is no secret on Hong Kong Island that Kowloon is behind Oriental Media.

"Then I don't know how much money Oriental Media is willing to pay to acquire it?"

Fatty Wang said:

"We at Oriental Media are willing to pay 1.3 million for the acquisition. I wonder what Uncle Liu thinks?"

Run Run Shaw:

"No, it's too little. Someone has already sold it to 1.6. If you pay this price, I can only sell it to others."

Fatty Wang said:

"What does Uncle Six think is appropriate? You name a price and I'll see if we can afford it."

Run Run Shaw said:

"1.5."

Fatty Wang:

"The price mentioned by Uncle Six seems to be 0.1 lower than the price offered by others. Does Uncle Six have any requirements?"

Run Run Shaw said:

"Yes, you are very smart. My request is very simple, that is, let the person from Kowloon come and talk to me in person. If he comes, everything will be easy to say. If he doesn't come, I will have to sell it to someone else. "

After Fatty Wang knew Shao Yifu's purpose.

Also replied:

"Uncle Six, give me some time. I will report back when I go back and then I will reply to you. What do you think?"

Run Run Shaw said:

"Okay, but I don't want it to take too long, otherwise I will sell it to someone else."

Fatty Wang:

"Don't worry Uncle Six, it won't take long."
