I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 100 Treatment of the Prince

"It is not in vain to get the support of Mr. Zhang on behalf of Yihai Company, and the preferential policies given by Shencheng." Liu Wenyan was very satisfied with Zhang Guobin's answer, nodded and raised his coffee: "I wish Mr. Zhang's Yihai China and Hong Kong business prosperity. "

"Thank you, Mr. Liu. I don't know if Mr. Liu has a residence in Hong Kong Island." Zhang Guobin smiled and took another sip of coffee, then lowered the coffee cup, turned his head and looked away.

Dongguan Miao, who was standing beside her, took a step forward, took out a key from her arms, ticked it, and put it on the table.

"Mr. Liu, this is an apartment owned by Yihai Company in Wanchai. It's not big, but it has convenient transportation and is more comfortable to live in."

"Walking outside, there must always be a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Zhang Guobin said comfortably.

Liu Wenyan's eyes fell on the apartment key on the table, and he quickly moved it away, put down the glass heavily, and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang!"

"The cooperation between you and me is carried out under strict regulations, so please don't step on the boundary."

He is too clear about what Yihai Company's strength and background represent. One represents a huge share of foreign exchange investment, and the other represents all possible means.

But Zhang Guobin stood up, pushed the chair back under the table with a smile, and said deftly, "Mr. Liu is too sensitive."

"This apartment is under the name of Yihai Company. My company still needs to go back to deal with some matters. I'm sorry, let's go first."

Zhang Guobin turned around and flirted with Dongguan Miao, and the two left the coffee shop without looking back. Liu Wenyan fell into deep thought when he saw the key in front of him...

"Aaron, Jin Bao is waiting for me at the company?" Zhang Guobin walked out of the coffee shop and asked towards the car door.

Dongguan Miao opened the car door and quickly said, "I'm already drinking tea at the company."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin nodded.

Ever since "Pretty Girl" was shown in Shuangnan Cinemas, Universal DreamWorks Films has been included in the key list of the "Information Bureau" of the Taiwan authorities. The "News Bureau" finally officially issued a ban.

In the form of industry documents, Taiwan theaters are not allowed to import all films produced/invested by Universal DreamWorks, not only films produced under the name, but even indirect investment and co-produced films are not allowed to be introduced into the Taiwan market. .

The functional departments of Taiwan's "News Bureau" are not stupid. If they can be introduced into the market with a different skin, the deterrent effect of film imports will be indifferent. The key to a thorough investigation of the background of a company lies in the flow and source of resources.

It is no exaggeration to say that Universal DreamWorks is facing a crisis of closure.

……

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Hong." Zhang Guobin returned to DreamWorks, walked steadily, and just entered the reception room.

Cheng Long was wearing a jacket and a white shirt inside, with beads of sweat on his forehead, he got up immediately and said, "Mr. Zhang."

"Dian Jie and Brother Bao are so free, come to the company to drink tea?" Zhang Guobin smiled and sat at the head of the sofa, and greeted: "Ximiao, bring two Cuban cigars to Long Ge, Bao Ge, Dian Jie can make both of you happy." A superstar with empty fingers, why are you sitting and drinking tea?"

Cheng Long explained anxiously: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't come to the company to drink tea or smoke cigars. I came to..."

"A-Long!" Hong Jingbao stopped Cheng Long's words suddenly, stood up and took the words, and said, "I'm sorry, Zhang Sheng, my younger brother is a little irritable and speaks a lot abruptly. I hope Zhang Sheng will not be offended."

Hong Jingbao was nicknamed "Big Brother" in the 80s, and he could be said to be the master of martial arts. Jianghu affairs and Jianghu rules are better than "Little Big Brother" Aaron.

He also serves as a director, actor, producer and other professions. He is nicknamed "The Miscellaneous Boy" in the film industry.

Zhang Guobin lit a cigar, nodded and said: "It's okay, I don't mind, I think the two of you are coming to see me, and they must be talking about the Taiwan Island market?"

He was dressed in a black suit, raised his legs, and spit out white mist leisurely.

Hong Jingbao nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, the Taiwan and Island market is the biggest market for Xiangjiang Films beyond the local box office."

"The movie "Project A" that you invested and produced together with Baohe is likely to encounter a ban by the Taiwan and Island authorities. It will not make money just relying on the Xiangjiang market, Japan, South Korea, and Canada's box office."

Hong Jingbao shook his head and sighed.

Cheng Long was fidgeting beside him with an irritable expression.

He worked very hard for this movie, in order to get rid of the shame. The hit of "Project A" will have a huge impact on his film career in recent years, and the road to international superstar will be bumpy again.

He has works such as "Drunken Master" and "Junior Brother Out of the Horse". He is already a well-known kung fu superstar in Xiangjiang and East Asia. Unfortunately, "Killer's Trench" failed to go to sea. It's an action drama that reshape word-of-mouth. In addition, he has a lot of appeal at the box office in Taiwan. It hurts to lose the market in Taiwan.

Zhang Guobin nodded: "I understand your worries. To be honest, I created the ban on DreamWorks entirely by myself. According to the rules, I should bear the loss personally."

"However, joint venture filming and doing business together have their own risks."

"You have to accept this risk!"

Zhang Guobin's words were not heavy.

Cheng Long and Jing Bao both turned pale.

"Zhang Sheng." Cheng Long couldn't help but shouted.

But Zhang Guobin settled down with one word: "Don't worry, I won't let you bear all the losses. We are not doing business in the Jianghu. How can there be black and white? After filming "Project A", there will be a sequel..."

"Let me give you a guarantee, if I can't get the film released in Taiwan before the release of "Plan A", I will personally pay you three million Hong Kong dollars, how about it?"

Zhang Guobin glanced sharply.

He already has a way to get Taiwan Island.

Cheng Long suddenly could sit still again.

Sammo Hung thought about it for a while, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"it is good."

"Go and sign the contract with the secretary."

Zhang Guobin spoke quickly.

He has no friendship with Cheng Long and Jin Bao, both of them are cooperating for the benefit, since the other party can't sit still and come to the door, so why not give the other party an explanation?

"Project A" can't stop working halfway through the filming,
The film has not been banned in Xiangjiang.

He gave a guaranteed price of [-] million yuan,
Very loyal!
Of course, when Cheng Long and Sammo Hung talk about benefits, they must be thinking about the Wuhan team under his hand, but he doesn't show loyalty to Zhang Guobin, and Zhang Guobin doesn't need to talk to him about his feelings, just settle the bill.

Cheng Long and Sammo Hung looked at each other, turned and left the office.

"Zhang Sheng, goodbye."

"Hmm." Zhang Sheng made a sound through his nostrils.

Immediately, the two went to sign the contract with the secretary, and signed a guaranteed contract of [-] million yuan on the spot. Zhang Guobin returned to the office and saw the contract on the table. Without thinking about it, he threw it into the trash can.

Aaron, Brother Bao walked out of the DreamWorks building.

With the contract in his mouth, Aaron felt concerned: "Brother Bao, Mr. Zhang usually speaks in a friendly manner, but he is so domineering when he sits in the office."

Brother Bao turned to look at him, and said coldly: "At that time, others asked you for money, but now you come to ask him for money, the attitude can be the same as hell."

"However, Mr. Zhang was very arrogant and gave three million in one breath. In fact, it is hard to say whether the box office profit of Taiwan Island is enough for three million." If Taiwan Island's box office profit is enough for three million, at least 16 million must be set. They couldn’t have imagined that “Plan A” had a box office of more than 5 million Taiwan dollars in just 81 days after its release in Taipei, and sold more than 3.35 tickets. The exchange rate of Taiwan dollars to Hong Kong dollars in 1 was about 1900 to 29.5 (exchange rate floating in real time), "Plan A" even set a box office of more than [-] million in Xiangjiang and [-] billion yen in Hishima,
"Be careful when talking to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang can't be the same as Brother Tong Wuxing. He talks about loyalty, but it's not the same kind of loyalty." Sammo Hung got into the car and said in a gloomy tone: "I was eating supper in Tsim Sha Tsui last time. , I saw Mr. Zhang driving past..."

"That's right, that's...that time on the news?" Cheng Long was dumbfounded and stuttered.

"That's enough, let's get in the car and go back to the scene to continue filming." Sammo Hung felt that he couldn't talk any more, and immediately drove the car away from Yau Ma Tei, and returned to the set to work with Aaron.

In short, he took back a guaranteed contract of [-] million yuan, which was an explanation to Brother Wu Xing.

Kowloon.

Mongkok, in an old-fashioned courtyard, a loquat tree grows along the right corner of the wall, surrounded by several bluestones, several plum blossoms, a pot of orchids hanging beside the door, a pool of clear water in the corner of the courtyard, and several carps.

There is also rural scenery in the downtown area.

Zhang Guobin sat on a stone bench, looking at the orchids, holding a fan in his hand, and joked with a smile: "A gentleman is like an orchid, and the fragrance in the empty valley is gentle, and a gentleman is as quiet as an orchid. In a busy city, you really have the style of a hermit, a great hermit hides in the city."

Su Qiming stooped like a farmer, holding scissors, and was cultivating flowers and plants.

"Brother Chai told you to find me, right?"

Mr. Su turned his head and put down the scissors with a smile: "Otherwise, do you know that I have a good relationship with Chen Qili? The film company's film is banned, and I want to use the relationship of the Sanlian Gang to open up joints. The plan is really shrewd, and all the money will be given to you." If you make money, you will use all the club favors."

"Chen Qili is a leading figure on the ground on Taiwan Island. He must have some friendship with the bosses, and he can raise his hand to give DreamWorks a run."

"I talked to Chen Qili on the phone. He said very directly. It is impossible to let Dreamworks go. The Taiwan authorities want face. If you slap their face, they will slap you to death!" Mr. Su raised his eyes, Looking directly at him: "However, he tried his best to say hello for you. The Taiwan Bureau can give DreamWorks five imported dramas a year. You can find other companies to affiliate with and don't check your account until the Taiwan Bureau cancels the supervision of DreamWorks." ban."

"This is already the result of the best effort, and it's not letting Dreamworks go, it's letting your prince Bin go." Su Qiming took a breath, his face was full of troublesome bugs, Zhang Guobin quickly thanked Master Su, Su Qiming But scolded: "Thank you! Who told you that you are the prince of Yihai!"

　I owed 1k yesterday and made up 3k, now you owe me 2k, boss, pay the amount.
