Chapter 570 581 [Absolute Power] ([-]rd update today)

Hong Kong, Shaw Film Company ---
As one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers was once brilliant, especially in the 70s and [-]s when Uncle Shao was in charge of Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Brothers was one of the most famous film companies in Asia.

Today, Sixth Uncle Shao is getting old and basically relegated to the second line, and Shaw's company has also reduced production year by year. As the person in charge of Shaw's company, Ms. Fang Yihua has gradually invested financial and material resources in TVB.

At this moment, the office of the president of Shaw Brothers Film Company was crowded with people, but Uncle Shao Liu, who hadn't visited the company for a long time, came to hold a meeting today.

With Ms. Fang's support, Uncle Six came.

Wearing a spacious purple-black silk Tang suit embroidered with Songhe Yannian, he is thin, with a hunchback, and many brown age spots appear on his face.

From the moment Uncle Shao came in, everyone in the office immediately stood up.

These people include the director department, the photography department, the production and distribution department, and other departments.

Seeing everyone standing up, Sixth Uncle Shao pressed down on everyone with his hand, signaling that they don't need to stand up.

Sixth Uncle Shao sat down, and then the others slowly sat down.

Shao Sixth Uncle didn't speak, but just gestured to Sixth Aunt beside him.

Ms. Fang stood up, took out a briefcase, unwrapped it, glanced at everyone, and read out: "After discussion and decision of the board of directors, Xiangjiang Shaw Brothers Film Company decided to negotiate with Wanda Group to discuss Wanda's formal acquisition of Shaw Brothers Film Company." .”

Everyone: "..."

After figuring out what it meant, it suddenly became chaotic.

"How can it be? How can Shaw Brothers be acquired?"

"Our Shaw Brothers is strong, why should we be acquired?"

"Did the board get it wrong? Sell the company, what about us people?"

"Yeah, a big and established company like ours, is it still afraid of that young man named Song Zhichao?"

Everyone was chattering, one sentence from you, one sentence from me, filled with righteous indignation, feeling that the acquisition of Shaw Brothers would mean the end of the world.

Shao Sixth Uncle looked at everyone coldly, but still didn't say a word.

Ms. Fang: "Quiet! Everyone please be quiet!"

But it was useless, no one listened to her.

These people are basically the veterans of Shaw's company. After Shaw's production reduction, the reason why these people still stay in the company is to enjoy benefits on the one hand, and to have feelings for the company on the other hand.Now, Shao's is about to be sold, how could they not object.

Facing these elders, Ms. Fang couldn't hold back—many of them had stayed in Shaw for longer than her, what do you say about them?
Just then, boom boom boom!

Sixth Uncle Shao tapped lightly on the table.

The sound is very soft, if you don't pay attention, you can't hear it at all.

But it was this light knocking sound, which seemed to have some magical power, and directly quieted the outraged veterans.

In an instant, the whole room could hear a needle falling silently.

Everyone looked at Sixth Uncle Shao, waiting for him to speak.

Shao Liushu didn't say anything, but got up directly, turned and left.

Ms. Fang: "Uncle Six's meaning has already been explained—this matter is settled like this!" After finishing speaking, he followed.

No one dared to make noise for the people behind him.

……

Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Film Company ---
As a major film company in Hong Kong, Golden Harvest, the only one that could compete with Shaw Brothers, has always been controlled by two people, to be precise, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.

Inside the palm of Zou Wenhuai and outside the palm of He Guanchang, the two of them complement each other perfectly.

At this time, as the company's first and second leaders, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang also invited most of the company's executives, including the superstar Cheng Long, to have a meeting in the conference room.

Compared to Shaw Brothers who currently concentrate their main business on TVB TV program production, Shaw Brothers films have become "cumbersome". The main business is to make movies, sell copyrights, and earn box office.

Therefore, in the face of Wanda's strong acquisition, Golden Harvest reacted the most.

With a cigar in his hand, Zou Wenhuai took a puff and spit it out. The smoke was lingering, making the meeting scene "overcast".

"The situation is probably like this. At present, 20.00% of our Golden Harvest Circulation's shares in the market have been acquired by Wanda. In other words, Song Zhichao, Wanda's CEO, is now the largest shareholder besides Lao He and me."

There was a sigh in the arena.

Including the big star Cheng Long, everyone knows that Wanda, controlled by Song Zhichao, has been frantically absorbing Golden Harvest stocks in the market during this period, but they did not expect it to have swelled to this extent.

In fact, the name "Song Zhichao" has been heard too much during this time.

It's not even an exaggeration to use it like a thunderbolt.

It was such a young man who stirred up the Xiangjiang situation and made countless bigwigs in the Hong Kong entertainment industry bow their heads and bow down to his thunder.

In terms of strategy, this young man can strategize, defeat Sony, and acquire Hollywood Columbia.

In terms of ambition, this young man wants to swallow the Xiangjiang film industry and build his own industrial empire.

In terms of means, this young man dared to attack hundreds of associations in Hong Kong. With the help of the police, he swept through the holes and killed them decisively.

In terms of age, he is only 23 years old, but he is all-powerful, and he seems to be No.1 in Xiangjiang.

Such a handsome character, even Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had to secretly admire, saying: Heroes are born in youth!
"What should I do?" Zou Wenhuai flicked the cigar towards the ashtray, asking for advice.

Sharp eyes scanned the week.

No one said a word.

To be precise, everyone is undecided at this time - because Wanda is too strong, and its strength is beyond everyone's expectations.

According to statistics, in order to acquire these film companies in Hong Kong, Wanda has now spent 76 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 400 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This number is horrific.

At least in Hong Kong, no one dares to be so embarrassing.

Originally, many people took Song Zhichao's previous words as a joke, as bragging. Even Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others thought that Song Zhichao was scaremongering, flirting, and flirting. But now... everyone is full of bitterness.

"If we complain about Wanda's hostile takeover, maybe the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the stock management department will intervene..." At this time, a manager mustered up his courage and said.

"Then why didn't the previous film company complain?"

"This one……"

"The reason is very simple." This sentence was said by He Guanchang without saying a word. "Before Wanda acquired those companies, it actually bought off the senior management of those companies."

This glance seemed to be electrified, and the four or five high-level people present involuntarily lowered their heads.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Zou Wenhuai sighed.

"Now I announce that Golden Harvest has joined Wanda and agreed to the merger!"

Everyone in the room was commotion, with different expressions.

Some people were surprised, some were ashamed, and some people kept shaking their heads.

In the face of absolute power, all resistance is futile.

And in this day and age, in the entertainment industry --- money means everything.
