Investment Life

Although the Shaw Brothers have been out of the shadows for many years, their status in the world is there, so how can others ignore it.At this time, it was the sensitive pre-[-] period, and the turmoil of the split turned into a storm in the blink of an eye. The major newspapers in Hong Kong were scrambling to interpret, speculate on what unknown insider information was hidden behind this alliance, and analyze whether the Shaw Brothers To return to the film industry, open up your own front in another way.

At the same time, many right-wingers swear that this is Sir Shao’s another show of favor to the mainland. Even Chen Yuanming, who just bought a luxury house in Repulse Bay, is portrayed as a pawn of the red regime, an outpost ready to wedge into the interior of Hong Kong Island. .However, the more publicity it is, the more popular Feiyan's reputation is. After all, the return is imminent, and no one can figure out what the legendary "one country, two systems" is. Except for those who are determined to leave Hong Kong for immigration, no one wants to show loyalty , to explore the truth.

Before Sir Shao's billions of dollars in donations, and later Golden Harvest's Shanghai investment, even the Shaw Brothers were taken out to burn the waste heat. As long as they are not crazy or stupid, they can't help but lean forward and show their faces. These two days, Fei Anheng was almost insanely busy, with endless receptions and banquets, an intensive offensive of golden bullets, silver bullets, and beautiful women. Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Fei was firm in his stance, so he was not eaten alive by the "enthusiastic" Hong Kong compatriots.

Compared with Fei Anheng's miserable days, Chen Yuanming was obviously a bit more chic, except for going in and out of Shaw's mansion to drink tea and chat, he hardly participated in the turbulent farce outside.After tossing and tossing for half a month, the overall situation was finally settled.Except for the biggest Golden Harvest and those film companies that have close contacts with Taiwan, large and small film companies have established VCD distribution plans, and the title of partner falls on Huanyu Laser, which has the most obvious sincerity and the most active mind. Video Co., Ltd., as the general agent of Feiyan, is fully responsible for the VCD distribution in Hong Kong.For this reason, Chen Yuanming specially injected another 100 million US dollars into Huanyu as the cost of purchasing a VCD filling line, and obtained 30% of the equity as usual.

With the foundation of Shaw's support and the propaganda campaign fueled by the paparazzi, Feiyan's strategic goal in Hong Kong was perfectly achieved, and Chen Yuanming returned to Anhui alone before the finishing work was over.Now the construction of Feiyan factory has been completely completed, and it has started to enter the first-line production. When stepping into the brand-new warehouse and seeing piles of VCD players piled up like hills, even a mature and prudent guy like Chen Yuanming couldn't help it. The heartbeat quickened a bit.

"How is it?" Standing beside Chen Yuanming, Yu Yongan's chubby face was full of pride, "The daily production capacity has exceeded [-] units, and the four production lines are operating well. The workers are all specially trained and have excellent technical skills. , after further running-in and perfecting the system, it is estimated that the daily output of [-] won’t be a problem.”

"En." Chen Yuanming nodded lightly, "The quality control cannot be relaxed, this is the foundation of the enterprise, and product inspection cannot be neglected just to catch up with the quantity."

"That's natural." How could Yu Yong'an not understand this truth after serving as the executive president of a large company with an annual output value of more than 10 billion.However, the most important thing now is not the product quality. He cleared his throat and began to complain to the owner who paid the money, "However, Mr. Chen, there is a problem with the company's turnover at present. The financial pressure is still quite heavy if you can only make money. When will our promotion plan start?"

Chen Yuanming smiled when he heard the words. His expenses in the past six months are indeed too high. He threw out almost all of the nearly 2 million on the book at the time. The working capital has fallen to the bottom, but if you pay, you will definitely get something, especially for him. In terms of this "pay".

"Don't worry, the funds will not be cut off. Mr. Yu, you just need to focus on production. The advertising plan has already been made, and it's really not the time to start distribution, but it won't be too long..."

It really won't take long.Less than a week later, Lin Xuewen finally rushed back to the company, and the first thing he said was, "Damn it, you've even taken care of Shaw Brothers?"

Now this news is no longer a secret, Chen Yuanming poured a cup of tea for the other party in a good temper, and asked back with a smile, "It's just a trick, how is Brother Lin?"

"Hey, let's see who's going to do it." After getting acquainted, Lin Xuewen's arrogance and complacency under his gentle appearance completely evaporated, adding a bit of an itchy temperament.Spreading it on the sofa, he unceremoniously picked up the teacup and took a few sips, "Several major studios have already negotiated, and the recently popular directors Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Tian Zhuangzhuang have not left behind any of them. , the first batch of VCD expects 20 movies, all of which are of high artistic value and box office success, and the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Longing" were selected."

"Not bad." Chen Yuanming nodded in satisfaction. It is indeed much better than he imagined. Although the number of products is not many, it is just right for this almost blank market. Clear layers and consistent quality are the most critical issues nowadays. The root of whether the VCD player can be an instant hit.

"What about you?" Lin Xuewen asked back, "What else is there besides Shaw Brothers?"

"Movies include the "Best Partner" series, "Dao Ma Dan", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Happy Family". TV series include "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Fearless."

"No Golden Harvest?" After listening for a long time, Lin Xuewen couldn't help but frowned when he found that there was no expected target. "They really don't have a single one?"

"Maybe it will come out in the future, but it's obviously not through us." Chen Yuanming raised the corner of his mouth, "This kind of thing can't be forced, and we must first establish our own flag firmly."

"Tsk." With a light tut, Lin Xuewen changed the subject, "Now that the domestic situation is basically settled, should it be time to develop an overseas route? I didn't say that, there seems to be something going on in Japan, and you are making trouble in Hong Kong. It's too big, and Sony isn't going to stand around and watch us get rich."

That's right, if it's a VCD, you really can't avoid Sony and Philips. After all, VCD comes from CD, and its standard will be based on the CD standard. This prerequisite means that Sony and Philips can smoothly follow There is a piece of soup in the big pot of VCD.

Chen Yuanming snorted softly, "Let's talk about it, there is nothing to stop, the sooner the negotiation is completed, the sooner you can feel at ease. But when the next generation of products comes out, it will not be their business to look for us. Recently the domestic affairs are settled, you Just fly directly to the United States, you can’t take one step at a time, you have to get ahead of everything.”

"It's up to you to say." Lin Xuewen stretched his waist, "It's a pity that I can't see the publicity effect of my advertising plan..."

Chen Yuanming smiled, "Make sure your scissor hand is strong enough first."

"Hmph~ That's an old expert from Beijing Film Studio, Mr. Bao is satisfied."

The busy here is in full swing, and the harvest season is here ahead of schedule. At the end of October, news came from the United States that the new sniper campaign against the European foreign exchange market had come to a successful conclusion. Tiger Fund had won a complete victory, with a profit exceeding 10%. Achieved a profit of up to 100%, and the funds successfully exceeded 86 million US dollars.

Of course, Mr. Robertson kindly persuaded Chen Yuanming to stay at Tiger Fund, but next year the hedge funds' targets will basically fall on European bonds. The price received 1.4 million US dollars of Cisco stock, ready to do a wave of short-term.

Good news has also come from Silicon Valley recently. Several major computer manufacturers have begun to agree on the issue of USB universal serial ports. The small company he works for happened to be in the way, and the patent right was almost applied for.Since the company has not yet been listed, even a hostile takeover is somewhat difficult. In the end, Microsoft decided to spend 500 million US dollars to acquire the company. As the largest shareholder, Chen Yuanming had no objection, and more than 200 million US dollars was recorded, which was ten times the profit.

In China, after the 1800th, PHS was quietly listed in Shenyang, priced at 5 yuan each, which was a section cheaper than the Motorola pagers at that time, not to mention the price of Big Brother.Such "high quality and low price" products naturally attracted hot sales. According to Xiao Yun, the sales volume in January exceeded [-]. This figure is mainly because the base station is only available in Shenyang City, otherwise it would be even more unimaginable. .

A few days later, following the news, a special gift arrived in Chen Yuanming's hands. It was a brand new PHS, but it was different from the existing ones on the market. This phone was painted in a very elegant sea blue The colors may not be general-purpose inkjet paints, and even made a little gradient effect, which looks trendy and charming, highlighting the full design talent.

There is a note attached to the package: Exclusive customization, gift to friends.Xiao Junyi

Chen Yuanming was delighted when he saw it. PHS is basically a piece of bricks when it leaves Shenyang. Such a gift is really unique.After thinking about it, he smiled slightly, and asked someone to send back the VCD samples sent by Hong Kong.It was a wooden box version of the complete works of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was well-made, and there were additional gifts such as introduction brochures and posters. It would not drop in price as a gift for any enthusiast.The problem is that VCD players are not yet on the market, so taking such a set of discs back is just a decoration.

After the little joke was over, Chen Yuanming's attention slowly turned back to the promotion and planning of the VCD.With the arrival of November, the planned advertising campaign is finally about to kick off. This is different from any previous propaganda in the history of New China. Whether it wins or loses depends on this campaign!

On November 11, an advertisement quietly appeared in front of the public on the evening show of CCTV.
