Chapter 280 Sir Bao: What major shareholder? He is the one who gets bullied.
"Two hundred million? Only buying half of the shares?"
"I haven't sold the Golden Princess Cinemas for this price."
"Sixth Uncle, I'm just young, I'm not stupid!"
After hearing Uncle Shao's offer, Master Lei suddenly came to his senses.
You know, Chen Wen only spent 300 million yuan to acquire the entire Golden Princess Cinema Chain, and it was a complete acquisition.
Uncle Shao offered 200 million yuan, and he only bought half of the shares.
This is simply too outrageous!
Even Mr. Lei, who had never understood the so-called business philosophy, suddenly came to his senses.
"Mr. Lei, there is no comparison between Shaw Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas."
"Shaw Cinemas has been around in Hong Kong for so long that 90% of the people working in the film industry in Hong Kong came from Shaw Cinemas."
"Even if it's down and out, this Shaw Brothers is still a moving sign. Don't you think it's not worth the price?"
Uncle Shao Liu spoke directly to Mr. Lei in front of him.
That’s right! At that time, Shaw Cinemas was not as active as other cinema chains in Hong Kong Island.
But Shaw Brothers is definitely a moving signboard of Hong Kong Island.
There was no exaggeration in what Uncle Shao said. In fact, 90% of what he said was just modesty.
But even so, apart from Shaw's actual industries, the remaining premiums are something that no one can estimate.
Especially this Mr. Lei who doesn’t understand business.
"Also, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are co-screening the film."
"We control nearly 60 to 70 percent of the cinemas. Isn't this an advantage?"
Uncle Shao gave Master Lei some more guidance.
"Advantages? So what about all those movie theaters?"
"After all, isn't it all about making 'Best Partner' earn over 2000 million at the box office?"
"No matter how many cinemas there are, without box office revenue, it's all useless."
Mr. Lei is not only young, but also a straightforward person.
After hearing these words from Uncle Shao Liu, he instinctively retorted angrily.
Facing Mr. Lei's bold remarks, a smug smile actually flashed across Uncle Shao's face.
That's right! Young Master Lei had already been fooled by Uncle Shao Liu without even realizing it, and he himself didn't realize it.
"Yes, the real truth is that the work is excellent."
"'Best Partner' is indeed a good work. The Golden Princess cinema chain alone has earned more than 2000 million yuan in box office revenue."
"But if 'Best Partner 2' is jointly produced by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, how much box office revenue can it earn?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Lei instantly became interested.
That’s right! Lei Gongzi was originally an unknown young man in the film market.
It was because he saw that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest cinema chains made a lot of money that he invested in a small film company.
"Best Partner" is the first work of this small film company.
In other words, it was this movie that made Lei Gongzi more convinced that the Hong Kong film market was profitable.
In this case, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse.
"Two hundred million for 50% of the shares is still too much!"
Although Mr. Lei was eager to continue operating "Best Partner 2" the next second, he was still in the negotiation stage with the other party.
Young Master Lei suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm while talking to Uncle Shao.
But these little tricks could not be hidden from the cunning Uncle Shao Liu.
"Two hundred million, 50% of the shares, not much!"
"Shaw Cinemas is far more eye-catching than the Golden Princess brand. It's worth the price."
"It doesn't matter. I admire Mr. Lei's talent, which is why I talked to him first. I don't know what the effect would be if the person I negotiated with was Mr. Chen from New Hongxing Films."
It has to be said that the cunning Uncle Shao Liu knows how to manipulate people.
Golden Princess was acquired by the New Hongxing Cinema Chain, and the person in charge of the New Hongxing Cinema Chain is Chen Wen.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, Mr. Lei had already regarded Chen Wen as his enemy and rival in the business world.
In this situation, Uncle Shao's use of Chen Wen to negotiate was nothing more than a crazy test.
"Ok, deal!"
When Mr. Lei saw the two words "Chen Wen", it was as if he had triggered some mechanism.
When the movie "Best Partner" was first mentioned, Mr. Lei was still able to remain calm.
But on the contrary, Chen Wen and Mr. Lei didn't even think about this outrageous price and whether there was any room for bargaining.
Instead, he agreed directly and readily.
For a moment, Uncle Shao Liu felt relieved.
The private room next door.
Chen Wen and Sir Bao are having dinner.
That's right! The two had met before, but those were all done in private.
And today, the two of them have brought all these things to the table.
There is no doubt that the shares of Hutchison Whampoa currently held by Sir Bao have been noticed by Jardine Matheson.
In other words, the previous conspiracy became an open conspiracy.
Yihe, Chen Wen, and Sir Bao are now fighting openly!
"Now I understand why I should be the largest shareholder."
"You didn't see what the board meeting looked like today. How could it be called a shareholders' meeting?"
"As soon as we walked in, everyone started arguing from beginning to end. You haven't seen the old fox that is Niubijian. He is so eager to rob for a few shares."
When he saw Chen Wen, Sir Bao seemed as if he had suffered some injustice.
Sir Bao, who always spoke very gentlemanly, started to complain to Chen Wen.
He even wanted to restore the faces of the British government's financial group on the board of directors of Wharf Holdings to express the grievances he had suffered.
After this board meeting, Sir Bao even felt that this largest shareholder was just there to be bullied!
"I've told you before that business on land is not easy."
"The directors of Wharf Holdings have always been a tough bunch. They cling to the British Empire. It would be strange if they didn't get angry if two Chinese people got involved."
"Otherwise, how could I possibly sleep at home?"
Chen Wen said directly with a smile on his face.
That’s right! According to Wharf Holdings’ current shareholdings, Sir Paul is the largest shareholder, with Chen Wen in second place, and Jardine Matheson just behind Chen Wen.
In this case, all members should have attended the shareholders' meeting, but Chen Wen took leave and ran away.
Obviously, they had already realized that this day would come.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Have they thought of a solution by setting up such a board of directors?"
Sir Bao asked directly to Chen Wen in front of him.
Obviously, both of them had anticipated that Jardine Matheson would not give up.
