The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 195

  Chapter 195 The war ends (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Qi Dezun's betrayal in the middle of the process basically determined the outcome of the "Battle of the Bulls".

   Even later, after discussions, Milk Company brought in the listed company Huamao Real Estate and reorganized its own real estate company, it was too late!

  The time came to November 28th, and Hongkong Land unilaterally announced that it had replaced 51% of the shares of the milk company. So far, Hongkong Land has won a decisive victory in this "cattle war".

  The shareholders of the milk company who were still on the sidelines finally couldn't sit still at this time, and they went to the offices of Jardine Fu, Walterly or Pedder Street in Central to exchange their shares.

  Just two days later, Hong Kong Land announced again that it had exchanged 80% of the shares of Milk Company, and announced that it would extend the share exchange proposal to December 15.

   On December 15th, Hongkong Land announced that it would replace 90% of the shares of Milk Company.

  Subsequently, according to the Xiangjiang Regulations, Hongkong Land will conduct a compulsory acquisition of the remaining milk company shareholders.

  Since then, the far-reaching "Bull War" in the history of Xiangjiang's commercial warfare has come to an end.

   At this time, Zhou Xinian also chose to leave the milk company and resign as a director.

   "Phew, it's finally over!"

  In Fengwu Securities, Cao Yunshang looked at the content in the newspaper and let out a sigh of relief.

  Chu Huan sat beside him, and said with a soft smile, "The two families beat their lives to death, how can you be so excited!"

  Cao Yunshang laughed and said: "It's enjoyable, this battle was fought with ups and downs, it's amazing!"

   Immediately afterwards, Cao Yunshang sighed: "In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the share exchange plan proposed by Hongkong Land is not suitable for the shareholders of Milk Company, but they still chose to exchange shares in the end!"

  Chu Huan also agreed: "There is no way. Compared with the milk company, those shareholders are more optimistic about the future development prospects of Landmark, so they would rather suffer a loss temporarily. This is a natural gap between the two parties."

  Cao Yunshang said with a little worry: "However, thinking that Landmark actually took down the Milk Company without spending a penny, I think that from now on, Landmark's arrogance will become even more arrogant!"

  Chu Huan said indifferently: "Even if there is no such thing, don't you think that Landmark's arrogance is not arrogant?"

  Cao Yunshang rolled her eyes at Chu Huan coquettishly: "Isn't he worried about you? Since you intend to start the real estate industry, you will definitely run into Landmark in the future. Wouldn't it be troublesome then?"

   "Haha!" Chu Huan laughed loudly: "I am a person who has not even established a real estate company. Now you are worrying for me that I will compete with Landmark in the future. If outsiders hear this, I am afraid they will laugh out loud!"

  Cao Yunshang curled her lips slightly, and said indifferently: "I don't care what others think, anyway, I just know that you will be able to match Landmark!"

  This is unreasonable trust.

  However, Chu Huan was very satisfied with this kind of trust. He took Cao Yunshang into his arms and said with a smile, "Maybe when that day comes, you will be the wife of Taipan Landmark!"

  Cao Yunshang was startled by Chu Huan's words, turned around in Chu Huan's arms, clung to Chu Huan's body, and looked at Chu Huan in surprise: "Do you want to buy land?"

   "Why don't you want to, I think as long as there is a real estate company in Xiangjiang, there is no one who doesn't want to buy land!" Chu Huan said seriously.

  Seeing Chu Huan's serious expression, Cao Yunshang didn't speak for a long time, then suddenly broke away from Chu Huan's embrace, and preached a little crazy.

   "I'm afraid it will not be so easy to acquire Landmark. First of all, you must become a shareholder of their company, so that you can really get on the table

  No, even at the poker table, there are still many troubles. By the way, as you said before, because of the acquisition of Milk Company, Hongkong Land's equity has become more fragmented. We can secretly acquire a part of Hongkong Land's shares.

   But this process must be done carefully, and people from Jardine cannot be found out, that is to say, it will definitely take a long time.

In addition, if you want to get the land, you must fight with Jardine. According to Jardine's influence in Hong Kong, I am afraid that even the Hong Kong government will be alarmed, and the Hong Kong government has a high probability. , must be on Jardine's side.

   These problems are not easy to solve.”

   Seeing Cao Yunshang walking back and forth, looking like he was frantically analyzing the possibility of buying land, Chu Huan took Cao Yunshang into his arms again, and spoke with a smile.

   "Okay, that's a few years later, it's too far to think about it now, let's solve the immediate matter first!"

Cao Yunshang circled around again and took the initiative to hug Chu Huan. Because of the excitement just now, her cheeks were a little red, "Liu Zhiyuan is already operating, 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and will buy the Hang Seng Index in batches. At the end of this month It will be done."

  In late November, Chu Huan finally decided how to maximize his extra 58 million profit, set aside 8 million cash as working capital, and bought the remaining 50 million Hong Kong Hang Seng Index again.

  After being stimulated by the "Bull War", the Hang Seng Index has broken through the 800-point mark at this time, but this is not the end.

   By March of next year, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index will break through the 1770 mark, more than doubling the increase. For Chu Huan, this is the most tangible benefit.

   "Didn't you say that Xiangjiang's stock market is not normal? Why do you want to buy the Hang Seng Index?" Cao Yunshang snuggled into Chu Huan's arms and asked softly.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "At least at this stage, it seems that it has not reached the peak yet."

  Cao Yunshang saw Chu Huan's confident eyes, so he didn't say anything.

   While the whole of Hong Kong was paying attention to the "Bull War", there was one person who set his sights on the establishment of the Fantasy Comic Club early on.

   This person is called Huang Yulang, and now he is the boss of Yulang Book Company!

  In fact, Chu Huan misunderstood one thing. At this time, Huang Yulang was not working for others, but had already become the boss, and it was not the first time he became a boss.

  Huang Yulang, formerly known as Huang Zhenlong, was born in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province in 1951.

  When I was 7 years old, I came to Xiangjiang with my father. I belonged to a small family of Shengdou, so after graduating from middle school, I started to make a living.

  At the age of 13, Huang Yulang joined the Times Comic Club as a small worker. He had a special talent for comics.

  It's a pity that he hasn't been promoted to a painter yet, the painting club is in a downturn, and Huang Yulang is fired.

Huang Yulang, who was only 15 years old, was an ambitious man. After he was fired, he did not apply for a job. Instead, he pestered his father to lend him 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Action book (comic book).

   But the good times didn't last long, only 5 issues were released, and the old "Zhi Li" (closed) was lucky.

  By 1969, Huang Yulang had already started his own business several times and held a hat several times. He didn't make any money, but he learned quite well.

  With no money at hand, I had no choice but to work as a painter in Haiyan Publishing House with a bald pen, and painted a set of "Little Silly Fairy" under the pen name of Huang Xuansheng. This set of cartoons attracted the attention of Ding Xiaoxiang, a well-known man in the comics circle, who was very optimistic about Huang Yulang's painting talent.

At this time, North American TV "Superman" was on the rise. Ding asked Huang Yulang to produce a set of "Son of Superman". — Huang Yulang.

   "Son of Superman" became a best-selling doll book after it was published. Afterwards, all the doll books drawn by Huang were signed by Huang Yulang. Few people knew his original name.

  "Son of Superman" became popular, and Huang Yulang relapsed from his old addiction as a boss, so he jumped ship and opened Diamond Publishing House.

   After a while, Huang became popular, and because of poor financial management, the publishing house changed hands.

  Huang Yulang worked with the new boss as an emperor's job. In addition to painting remuneration, he also participated in dividends.

  In 1971, Huang Yulang became the boss again and established Yulang Book Company.

  Judging from Huang Yulang's life experience during this period, we can know that this person is an ambitious person.

  At this time, he not only has his own book company, but even wants to follow Kim Yong's example and start his own newspaper.

   But now, the matter of running a newspaper can only exist in his plan.

   At this time, in Huang Yulang's hands, he was holding a copy of "Sing Tao Daily", and the focus of his attention was not the news on "Sing Tao Daily", but an advertisement!

  The content of the advertisement is actually very simple, it is a cartoon.

  In the manga, a young man is dressed in an ancient costume and makes an attacking posture. In front of the young man, eighteen majestic Chinese dragons attack the young man's opponent with violent wind and rain.

   On one side of the comic, there is a passage marked: Is this the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon" in your mind?

   On the other side is another paragraph: On January 1, 1973, fantasy comics opened a new door to martial arts for you!

  Looking at this advertisement, Huang Yulang looked gloomy. At this time, Huang Yulang was already a banner of Xiangjiang Comics. Except for Shangguan Xiaobao, Huang Yulang didn't pay attention to anyone.

   But now this new fantasy comic, he has to take it seriously!

  After the time entered December, due to the end of the "Bull War", the major newspapers in Xiangjiang resumed the previous situation and published other advertisements.

   At this time, the advertisements of fantasy comics have sprung up, and they have been published in major newspapers in Xiangjiang for half a month.

  This successfully aroused the interest of Xiangjiang comic fans.

   There are also some publishing industries that are very interested in this. Who is this new comic magazine, who is so rich, and has advertised for such a comic magazine for so long.

  If you add the previous recruitment advertisements, fantasy comics have actually appeared in the sights of Xiangjiang citizens for nearly two months.

  At the beginning, Huang Yulang didn't pay much attention to fantasy comics, but when he knew that the boss behind the fantasy comics was actually Chu Huan, he had no choice but to raise his spirits.

  Huang Yulang didn't believe that Chu Huan knew anything about comics, but Huang Yulang had to admit that Chu Huan was very capable in business.

  When Chu Huan founded Black and White Film, he didn't personally direct or star in a movie. Today, Black and White Film has become the third largest film company in Hong Kong because of his financial ability.

  Hong Jinbao broke his own box office record at the box office of the first film directed by Black and White Video, breaking through one million box office, and then the second film "San De Monk and Chong Rice Six" released this month made another success.

  Fifteen days after its release, the box office has broken through the box office record of one million, and it seems to be heading for two million. Now Hong Kong Film Magazine is praising Hong Jinbao, creating a new routine of Hong Kong kung fu movies.

   As a result, Hong Jinbao claimed in the interview that the reason why he could come up with such a martial arts style was because he accepted Chu Huan's suggestion and came up with such an idea.

  Regardless of whether this is true or not, with two consecutive films that have grossed over one million at the box office, Hong Jinbao has officially secured his position as a first-line movie star in Hong Kong at this time.

  The reputation of black and white images is naturally even louder.

   Not to mention the great director Li Hanxiang who still has a version of Dinghaishenzhen in black and white images.

   Facing such an opponent, it is impossible to say that Huang Yulang is not worried.

   After learning that the boss behind Fantasia Manga is Chu Huan, Huang Yulang immediately launched an investigation into Fantasia Manga.

   This investigation didn't matter, but Huang Yulang was shocked by the result.

  Chu Huan really used his financial ability, and recruited Yasuo Kamakura, a general under Osamu Tezuka, in Japan to preside over the daily work of fantasy comics.

   At the same time, 16 Japanese painters were recruited. Tomioka Katsuya was regarded by Huang Yulang as an ordinary painter.

  But Huang Yulang has his own pride. This opponent needs to be taken seriously, but he cannot lose his prestige.

   "Since you are making such a fuss, let me show you that Xiangjiang's comics industry is different from the movie industry!"

  Huang Yulang thought for a while, then picked up the pen and paper, and began to write an article. Huang Yulang quickly finished writing the hundreds of words, and then called his secretary.

   "Send this statement to "Daily Daily" and let them publish it tomorrow."

  The secretary took the statement and glanced at it briefly, only to find that it was Huang Yulang's statement criticizing fantasy comics.

   About fantasy comics, she is naturally clear, and it is difficult not to know about the newspapers every day.

   It's just that the first issue of this comic magazine has not yet been released, so why did it attract dissatisfaction from my boss?

  Although there were doubts in his heart, the secretary didn't dare to ask. Everyone knew that Huang Yulang was arbitrary, and no one in the company should have a different opinion from him.

"yes!"

   After agreeing to Huang Yulang's order, the secretary turned around and left.

  At this time, Chu Huan didn't know that Huang Yulang had regarded himself as an imaginary enemy, but came to the Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay set to visit!

  It is not Li Hanxiang's new movie, but directed by Chu Yuan, starring Ti Lung, and adapted from Gu Long's novel "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"!

At the beginning, Chu Huan and Shao Yifu made a bet on the box office of the two films "The Big J Valve" and "Young Man". In the month's schedule, Shaw Brothers' films will be screened at full capacity.

  If the black-and-white video of "The Big J Valve" wins the box office, then Chu Huan can choose a director and an actor from Shaw Brothers every year to shoot a film for the black-and-white video.

  The box office of the movie "Big J Valve" has already surpassed that of "Young Man", so naturally Chu Huan won the bet.

   Originally, Chu Huan was a little worried at the beginning. The people he used from the Shaw Brothers were indirectly helping the Shao Brothers to support people, so Chu Huan never made up his mind to use the people from the Shao Brothers.

  But with the establishment of fantasy comics, Chu Huan's thoughts gradually changed.

   To make fantasy comics a hit, there must be various means of publicity.

  What kind of publicity method can compare with the release of a big-selling movie!

  Don't you see, at some point in later generations, whenever there is a movie, TV series, or comic book adapted from a novel, it will drive the electronic subscription of the original works.

   This is a process of mutual support.

  So at the beginning of November when the fierce battle of "Zhi Niu" was in full swing, Chu Huan found Shao Yifu and asked him to fulfill their bet.

Although Shao Yifu regards Chu Huan as one of his most important opponents, he is not a person who does not keep his word. However, during the negotiation process with Chu Huan, he also pointed out that what Chu Huan said before would not be borrowed. Chang Cheh's.

  Chu Huan naturally wouldn't borrow Zhang Che, he borrowed Chu Yuan.

  Shao Yifu had no choice but to agree, and then Chu Huan borrowed Ti Lung, the absolute handsome boy in the film industry at this time!

  Of course, regarding the screenwriter of the movie "Chu Liuxiang", Chu Huan still found Ni Yi.

  Although the two had some unhappiness when they were preparing for the filming of Li Xiaolong's movie "Fist of Fury", Chu Huan never thought of being friends with Ni Xie.

   "Director Chu, how is the filming going?"

  After Chu Huan came to Shaw Brothers' Qingshuiwan studio, it happened to be in time for the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" to take a break.

  Chu Huan went straight to Chu Yuan's side.

Although the relationship between Black and White Image and Shaw Brothers is hostile, that is the matter between Chu Huan and Shao Yifu. Chu Yuan is only a contracted director of Shaw Brothers, and now he is helping Black and White Image to make a movie. When facing Chu Huan, he naturally We were very kind.

   "It went very well. Regarding the release on the 15th of next month that Young Master Huan said, there must be no problem!"

  Although the movie "Chu Liuxiang" is still in the shooting stage, Chu Huan has already set a release date, January 15, 1973!

  Actually, if this movie can be released on January 1st, this time is the best.

   But this is not the best time to maximize profits.

   First of all, if this movie is released at this time, then his opponent will be Li Xiaolong's "The Way of the Dragon". In this era, if you want to compete with Li Xiaolong's movie, you are basically looking for death.

   Even the movie "Chu Liuxiang" is no exception.

  At the same time, Chu Huan also promised Li Xiaolong that when his movie "Way of the Dragon" was released, Shanhai Cinemas would fully support it.

By the 15th, the popularity of the movie "Raptors crossing the river" in Xiangjiang must have been halved. At that time, Shanhai theaters can also draw "Raptors crossing the river", leaving Jiahe's own theater The movie is out online.

   "Then Director Chu will be in trouble for the next period of time. After the movie is released, I will give Director Chu another big red envelope!"

  Chu Huan smiled and preached to Chu Yuan.

  It's a pity that the contract signed between Chu Yuan and Shaw Brothers is too long, and it went straight to the 1980s. Otherwise, Chu Huan really wanted to sign Chu Yuan to the black and white film.

If there are two big directors Li Hanxiang and Chu Yuan in the black-and-white film at this time, then the black-and-white film will really not have to worry about the box office of their company's movies in the next ten years, not to mention that there is still a growing black-and-white film at this time. Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Xu Guanwen.

   "I have known for a long time that Huan Shao is quite generous to his employees. I didn't expect that we can enjoy it this time!"

  Chu Yuan and Chu Huan were joking.

   "The purpose of making a movie is to make money. If you make money, naturally everyone must be happy." Chu Huan laughed.

   "It's still Huan Shaoqi!" Chu Yuan spoke the truth this time.

Everything is good when making a movie at Shaw Brothers, except for one thing, that is, it is stuck on the budget. It is better for a famous film director like Chu Yuan. If it is a new director, it is really a desire I want to die!

  This is also the reason why Shaw Brothers never found a new box office director.

   Too stingy!

  Even for a director like Chu Yuan, when his box office performance was not satisfactory in the later period, he can almost use the word "sweeping the floor" to describe his situation when he left Shaw Brothers.

At that time, Chu Yuan hit the street with several movies one after another, and wanted to restore his reputation with "Dragon Babu". , directly took the notice to Chu Yuan's office, and tore up his notice in front of Chu Yuan.

   And reprimanded loudly: "Who told you to make Tianlong Babu, can you compensate for the loss? Chu Yuan, you don't know how to make movies at all!"

   It can be said that Chu Yuan at that time was the most embarrassing film director in the entire Shaw Brothers!

   "That's natural. As long as Director Chu needs it, you can come to me at any time. Then you will be able to truly know how generous I am!"

  Chu Huan's meaningful sermon.

  Chu Yuan also understood what Chu Huan meant, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

  At this time, Chu Yuan was treated very well at Shaw Brothers, so naturally he couldn't imagine how he would be treated in a certain year or a certain day in the future.

  Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't respond, Chu Huan didn't continue the topic either. After chatting for a few words, Chu Huan came to Di Lon's side.

   Ti Lung, wearing a black costume, is so handsome at this moment.

   To put it bluntly, compared with the current Dillon, those little fresh meats of later generations are not a block or two away.

  But it may also be because Ti Lung always shoots ancient costumes and needs to wear a headgear, which caused Ti Lung's hairline to move back so much that even Bailor is nothing compared to him.

  In Xiangjiang, apart from Ti Lung having this trouble, there is another person who also has this trouble, and that is Qiu Guan.

  Qiu Guan looks chic and suave in ancient costume, but in fact Qiu Guan is a Mediterranean and has been wearing wigs for many years.

   There was only one time to disclose my image, and that was at the funeral of my ex-wife, and Deng Guangrong scolded me like a dog

   "Huan Shao!"

  After meeting Chu Huan, Di Lung was as polite as Chu Yuan.

  He also understands that according to the current situation, the rise of black and white images is unstoppable. In the future, black and white images will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored in the Xiangjiang film industry.

  As an actor himself, there is no need to offend a powerful film company boss for Shaw Brothers.

   Another person who was later kicked out by Shaw Brothers!

  Di Lung's situation is not much better than Chu Yuan's. As one of the Shaw Brothers' most popular movie actors in the 1970s, with the decline of Shaw Brothers' influence, Di Lung no longer has the box office appeal.

   As a result, he was abandoned by Shaw Brothers!

   Fortunately, "The True Colors of a Hero" was released later, which gave Dillon a second career. Otherwise, there would be very few audiences who would remember Dillon in future generations!

   "How about it, what's the difference between shooting black and white images and shooting for Shaw Brothers?"

  Of course it's different, the treatment of black and white video is really good, not to mention the salary increase, even the usual box lunch is better than Shaw's.

  I thought so, but I definitely couldn't say that. After all, Ti Lung is still a signed actor of Shaw Brothers.

   "Everything is fine, thank you Huan Shao for taking care of me!" Dillon said politely.

   Seeing Di Long's attitude at this time, Chu Huan understood that now Di Long is the same as Chu Yuan, and it is not easy to poach him.

   I can only try slowly.

   But for the follow-up matters, Chu Huan will definitely not follow up in person, and just leave it to the black and white image to handle it by himself.

  After chatting with Chu Yuan and Di Lung on the set, Chu Huan went to Shao Yifu's office again, but this time he mainly came to see Shao Yifu.

   "A Huan, I remember that we are already an alliance, why do you still help Jiahe?"

   After Shao Yifu saw Chu Huan, he was dissatisfied and preached.

  Chu Huan at this time, even Shao Yifu couldn't say anything with too strong a tone.

  The thing that made Shao Yifu dissatisfied was actually the release of "The Way of the Dragon" at Shanhai Cinemas.

"Uncle Six, I didn't help Jiahe with this matter. Besides, when we agreed on this matter with Brother Long, we hadn't formed an alliance yet. Uncle Six, you can't let me be a little boy who doesn't keep his word. people?"

  Chu Huan didn't pay much attention to the sermon.

  He understood what Shao Yifu meant, saying that it was for Li Xiaolong's affairs, but in fact he just wanted to give himself some psychological hints, so that he should not forget that the alliance between Shaw Brothers and Black and White Image is now, and Jiahe is their enemy!

  Shao Yifu said: "This will only make Jiahe more proud, and it will not be of any benefit to our plan."

  Chu Huan said: "Uncle Liu, to be fair, even if the movie "The Way of the Dragon" hadn't been released on the Shanhai Cinemas, do you think the movie's box office in Xiangjiang would be worse?

  At this time, Li Xiaolong's status in the Hong Kong film industry is not an exaggeration. It is not the same with or without our Shanhai cinema chain! "

  Since Shao Yifu didn't really want to break up with Chu Huan because of this matter, naturally he wouldn't really fall out with Chu Huan.

   Just talked about Chu Huan breaking the agreement between the two, and the matter passed.

  Chu Huan left Shao Yifu's office indifferently.

  Next day!

  Not long after Chu Huan got up, Cao Yunshang came to Chu Huan's apartment: "Brother Huan, someone scolded you in the newspaper!"

   Also, at six o'clock in the afternoon~~
