Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 252 Partnering with Norton to Start a Company
Feifei was taken aback for a moment, then smirked, and muttered again, "Husband, I love you so much."

As for having only three thousand pocket money a year after buying a house, Feifei not only didn't think it was a big deal, she even felt that one hundred or two hundred pocket money a month was enough.

If Chu Xiangqian, the benefactor's father, is taken care of and takes him to go shopping, then he won't have to worry about buying clothes and cosmetics every month.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian took Feifei out of the newspaper office refreshed.

As soon as she got in the car, Feifei covered her mouth and coughed lightly, then turned white and looked forward several times angrily.

Chu Xiangqian smiled awkwardly, "Your throat is uncomfortable, I'll take you back to the Peninsula Hotel first, and then go to the studio to see how the crew is shooting."

As soon as she heard that Chu Xiangqian was going to the set, a little girl like Feifei immediately revived with blood.

Holding Chu Qianqian's arm, "I'm going too, okay, husband?"

Chu Xiangqian looked at it because the little girl played, played and sang just now, and she really worked hard, so she agreed.

When they arrived at the set, seeing Chu Xiangqian was accompanied by a beautiful little girl, the crew immediately knew that Feifei was Chu Xiangqian's woman.

As for whether she is a girlfriend or just for fun, it has nothing to do with them.

Chu Qianqian saw Norton and Lardboy at a glance, following behind the director and watching the filming.

Norton will stay on the set, naturally out of curiosity.

And Lardboy will appear on the set again. It seems that this fat guy really plans to become a director and film a movie.

After calling Uncle Hai over and asking about the crew and the progress of the filming, Chu Xiangqian was relieved.

Chu Xiangqian didn't disturb the normal filming. Seeing Yang Luming sitting in the rest area, he brought Feifei over and asked, "Sister-in-law, how is the practice of the song for you?"

Yang Luming was the mainstay of Li Chi's stage before. He nodded to Chu Qianqian and said, "Boss, how about I sing it for you now?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, secretly thinking that he is indeed a professional, and he has the confidence to sing in just a few days.

When Yang Luming saw Chu nodding forward, he took a few deep breaths and sang "Times flies".

After listening to the first few sentences, Chu Xiangqian immediately felt that it was Mei Gu singing in a low voice, at least it was 9% similar, secretly thinking that Yang Luming's singing skills were really excellent.

On the side, Feifei and the crew who were fine were also staring at Yang Luming with surprise.

A few minutes later, after a song was sung, Feifei grabbed Chu Qianqian's arm and kept shaking it, "Honey, did you really write this song?"

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Feifei angrily, and looked at Yang Luming, who had a somewhat embarrassed and expectant face, "Sister-in-law, I think this song is ready for recording."

Only then did Yang Luming smile, "Boss, I know a special recording studio where accompaniment, arrangement and recording can all be done.

It’s just that one song is too few, so I wanted to take out a few of the songs I sang before and record them together. "

Chu Xiangqian nodded, and called Uncle Hai over, "You are responsible for this matter. After the recording is finished, first record 1 copies of vinyl. If the sales are good, the second batch will be recorded."

Uncle Hai suddenly became embarrassed.

As a white paper fan, he has always been a dog-headed strategist who comes up with ideas. In order to show off in front of the new boss, he is already too busy to take care of the chores and expenses of the crew.

If Yang Luming was in charge of recording, compiling and releasing songs, there might be problems on both sides.

But Chu Xiangqian couldn't buy a record company just for Yang Luming.

In the end, you can only spend money to hire a professional record producer.

At the same time, Chu Xiangqian also realized that a professional professional manager should be hired to take care of the film company, theater chain and the record company that will inevitably be established in the future.

After thinking about it, I actually thought of Wrinkle Huai and He Guochang, the two big guys who left Shaw Brothers 10 years later and founded the prestigious Jiahe Film and Television.

No, if these two people really existed in this world and worked in Shaw Brothers Films, they would still be in the middle class at this time.

He Yuchang might even be a minor figure.

It’s hard to believe that you can’t recruit people with high salary and shares.

After all, my company was established together with a theater chain and a film company, so my future and ambitions were much higher than those of the bosses who simply made movies.

In fact, Shaw Brothers Films has only been established for less than 3 years.

There is no trace of the TV station.

On the other hand, the Shaw Brothers Cinemas chain run by Brother Shao Liushu has not only developed well in Nanyang, but has also opened two cinemas on Hong Kong Island.

Invite Wrinkle Huai and He Guochang to come over. It doesn't matter if the salary is high. The shares will definitely not be given as soon as they come.

Sign a phased equity agreement to give them hope of becoming shareholders.

The two companies are growing together, and if they want to retain talents, giving them shares is normal for Chu Xiangqian, a future-thinking person.

Finally, sign one, in case they still want to leave, or return the shares to themselves.

Or, get yourself a stake in their new company.

At the same time, there is an agreement that the new company's movies can only be released in its own theaters.

Retaining theatrical distribution rights is actually tantamount to indirectly monopolizing a portion of Hong Kong Island movies.

And Chu Xiangqian still has a trump card in his hand.

Hong Kong Island films are popular in Southeast Asia. Apart from the fact that the films are really good, the main reason why the film industry produces a large number of talented people is that the films are sold to Southeast Asian theaters and distributors for high remuneration.

To put it bluntly, make money, and it’s very profitable.

Otherwise, relying solely on the local box office on Hong Kong Island, it is impossible to support so many crews and film companies.

It was not until the 90s that Southeast Asian countries successively introduced film protection systems that Hong Kong films completely declined.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian does not have to build dozens or dozens of cinemas in Southeast Asia.

It is entirely possible to use the competitive relationship between Cathay Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas to reach a cooperation agreement with Cathay Cinemas.

Even the eight cinemas built in cooperation with the Nanyang Fu family can join Cathay Cinemas to deal with Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Moreover, Golden Harvest has been popular in Southeast Asia for more than ten to 20 years, but when it comes to entering the largest market of Hollywood, it has failed several times and suffered huge losses.

But if it were him, the probability of success would be at least much higher than theirs.

With the temptation of Hollywood, I believe that Wrinkle Huai and He Yuchang will be less interested in going out for a living.

You can even leave the company's first step into the Hollywood market to them, and then take over after they fail.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian called Sanjiangshui and asked him to go to the Qingshuiwan studio to inquire.

If Wrinkle-Huai is still the publicity manager of Shaw Brothers and He Guochang is just the team leader of the production department, then they can post a post and invite people to have a meal and chat.

San Jiangshui nodded hurriedly, this kind of thing was handy for him, so he left with his two younger brothers.

Chu Xiangqian then asked Feifei to follow Yang Luming, while he walked to the camera and chatted with the director and Lardboy who asked the crew to take a break, and then Lan Norton walked aside.

He took out a swing stick produced by the game from his pocket and handed it to him.

After Norton took it, he was still a little surprised. After following Chu Qianqian's instructions, he held the stick and swung it. After throwing out the two sections, it suddenly became a steel rod.

Norton immediately retracted the stick for a while, then threw it out again, like a young man who got a novelty toy.Ward, who had been watching this side not far away, his eyes lit up.

After just a few glances, he realized that this retractable weapon was not only a good defensive portable weapon for bodyguards like him who often followed his employer and appeared in public.

Don't worry about bringing a knife and being banned from certain places.

Hurrying over, he asked Chu Xiangqian, "Sir, can you give me this telescopic stick?"

Chu Xiangqian originally planned to recruit Norton into the group, and was eyeing the police and security market in England.

Using the pocket as a cover, he took out one from the storage compartment and threw it to Ward.

After Ward and Norton played for a while, Chu Xiangqian said to Norton, "I have registered a patent for this telescopic stick. Are you interested in investing some money and a sales network in England to establish a security equipment company with me?" ?”

When Norton heard this, he just nodded after thinking about it.

For him, since he thinks swinging the stick is fun, the young people in England will definitely also like this kind of portable weapon.

Moreover, when staying with other aristocratic children, he can also take the initiative to show the short stick skills taught by his master. At that time, he will definitely be envied and praised by a group of people.

Norton will not let go of this kind of limelight and money-making.

As for how to make money, it is naturally taken care of by professionals in the family.

With the power of the Mountbatten family, approving a purchase contract of [-] to [-] pieces is as easy as drinking water.

With just a few words, the two decided that Chu Xiangqian would hold 7% of the shares, and Norton would invest 1 pounds to hold 3% of the shares.

The sale of England is also fully entrusted to him.

As for the price, I learned from Ward that the London Police purchased a rubber baton for 8 pounds each.

However, the output of rubber these days is not high, and plastic is a luxury.

But when you think about the price, you know that at least half of the 8 pounds must have been divided.

Chu Xiangqian only thought about it for a few seconds, and then decided to leave Hong Kong Island for 5 pounds a piece, and he didn't care how much it sold in England.

Norton didn't understand business matters, but Ward knew that the FOB price of 5 pounds was definitely higher than the normal price.

But on second thought, Norton holds 3% of the company's shares on Hong Kong Island, and he can use Mountbatten's identity to sell the stick to the gendarmerie and police force in England.

You only need to sell one for 8 pounds, and you can make more money than Chu Xiangqian.

8 sticks are only [-] pounds, and Mountbatten does not need to pay attention to this amount. Norton can rely on his relationship to handle the purchase.

And Chu Xiangqian's delivery price is 5 pounds, which is equal to 80 Hong Kong dollars. If the cost is well controlled, it may only cost 10 Hong Kong dollars for a stick.

70% of a net profit of 70 Hong Kong dollars is equal to 49 yuan.

This business is definitely profitable.Moreover, the business can be sold for a few years and set up for more than ten years.

And if Norton is brought in, and the first batch of goods are all exported to England, Chu Qiangqian is not worried at all about the cudgel of throwing sticks and handing them over to the mainland for production, which will cause dissatisfaction in England.

After all, the stick is nominally the goods of the Hong Kong Island Company.This company also has English shares, so it doesn't matter if it's an English company.

After making an appointment with Norton to go to Huang Weixin Law Firm tomorrow to discuss and sign an agreement with the security equipment company, Chu Xiangqian went to watch the films taken in the past few days.

After watching it, I asked the director to make up a few more shots. Basically, there is only the last decisive battle left in this movie.

I wanted to take Feifei back, but unexpectedly Uncle Hai came over in a hurry and said, "Boss, is someone making trouble?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with an incredulous expression on his face, "Are you sure someone is looking for trouble for my crew?"

Uncle Hai also cursed in his heart.

My boss is the one who killed the lame tycoon and uprooted the righteousness.

Not to mention the club, even the messengers don't want to mess with him.

Not to mention that my boss has a very good relationship with many detectives and ghosts.

Uncle Hai hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Someone is really here to cause trouble."

Chu Xiangqian suddenly laughed, and shouted at Lardboy who was still following the director, "Fatty man, come and do something."

Lard Boy turned his head blankly, wanting to scold someone, to see who dared to call him 'fatty'.

But facing Chu Qianqian's gaze, his attitude immediately became timid.

He ran over quickly with a smile on his face, "Master Chu, just give me orders if you have something to do."

Chu Qianqian pointed at Uncle Hai, "Follow Uncle Hai and see who is causing trouble for the crew."

When Lardboy heard this, his expression suddenly became fierce.

Not to mention Chu Xiangqian's friendship with Baifanyu and Lei Luo, just his relationship with the ghosts is enough to curry favor with him.

Now that he was asked to learn how to make movies, and seeing that it was a promising business, Lardboy naturally wanted to curry favor with Chu Xiangqian more and more.

Shouting to the surroundings, "Snake Ziming, where did he die?"

Snake Ming, who was bragging with Hong Zhennan's apprentice Aji and other apprentices, heard this and hurriedly left Aji and others behind and hurried over with five or six younger disciples.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Lard Boy scolded a few words, took the people and went outside with Uncle Hai.

Hong Sanbao, Guo Zhenhua, Aji and others also rushed over, "Boss, is someone making trouble?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a second, and then realized that the production crew did not always go smoothly.

Someone should have come here to find something.

Of course, there must be no big problem, otherwise Uncle Hai and San Jiangshui would have reported it to him long ago.

Don't look at the owner of the diamond mountain studio, Cao Dahua, who is rich and a big star.

But he is the kind of rich man who only has money but no power.

The Diamond Hill studio was not only regarded by the people of East Star as their own territory, Cao Dahua also had to pay East Star monthly fees.

No wonder he is like a fat sheep in the eyes of others.Dare to play a game to lure him into gambling addiction.

Chu Xiangqian explained casually, and Hong Sanbao immediately turned blue with anger. He said hello, and the cast member, Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, immediately picked up a stick.

The one with the bench took the bench, and ran out with Hong Sanbao, Aji and the rest.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, and pulled Norton and Feifei to sit aside.

By the way, someone called Guo Zhenhua to stop, and asked him, the protagonist, to stay with his girlfriend, Yang Luming, honestly.

When Norton heard that someone was fighting, not only did he not show any fear on his face, but he was eager to try.
