People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 400 Shaw Brothers’ request for cooperation

It didn't take long for more detailed information about Sioux City's plan to acquire China Electric Power Company to appear in front of Lawrence Kadoorie and Michael Kadoorie and his son.

Looking at the news that Tianyuan Investment Company had acquired 20.7% of the shares of China Electric Power Company, the faces of both father and son turned dark.

It has been announced that it is 20.7%, but no one knows how much it actually is.

China Power was passed through the hands of the Kadoorie family through grandfather Eli Kadoorie, father Lawrence Kadoorie and son Michael Kadoorie.

In the past few decades, the Kadoorie family has experienced too much with China Electric Power. For the Kadoorie family, everything can be lost, except China Power.

Therefore, even in the face of a strong enemy like Sioux City, neither his father, Lawrence Kadoorie, nor his son, Michael Kadoorie, refused to give up.

What's more, the advantage is now in their hands. They hold 40% of the shares. No matter how much money Su Cheng spends, it is impossible to increase the shareholding to more than 40% of the shares in a short time.

"With the current situation, it is very difficult for us to hold 50% of the stock. If Su City is really keeping an eye on it, when will we have an economic crisis? Su City, as the second largest shareholder, will definitely Will take the opportunity to annex China Electric Power, and if he is left here, we may be annexed at any time. After all, what we are facing now is a person with much more assets than us. A business war is not that simple. Since Sioux City is targeting He killed us and made this matter public, which shows that he has a comprehensive way!" Rowlands Kadoorie sighed.

Since Sioux City has announced this matter, it means that he is really sure of winning China Electric Power. In the opinion of Laurence Kadoorie, if they use the strength of their Kadoorie family to deal with Sioux City, even if they win in a short time , after a long time, it is easy to lose.

Moreover, as Sioux City makes its intention to acquire China Electric Power public, the stocks on the stock market will definitely rise sharply. If they want to buy stocks from the stock market, the price will be very high.

Purchasing from other shareholders is even more difficult than acquiring on the stock market. After all, no one is a fool.

Which of the listed companies that Sioux City had participated in before did not rise sharply?

What's more, even if Sioux City does not surpass the Kadoorie family in the end, it will still be the second largest shareholder. After entering the market, Kadoorie's control of China Power will not be able to continue so smoothly. By then, they will be as secretive as before. The practice of continuously accumulating assets may also be discontinued.

"Father, you have rich experience. It's up to you to decide what to do!" Michael Kadoorie looked at his father and said seriously.

If it were not for Rowlands Kadoorie, China Electric Power would have ceased to exist after World War II.

It was Rowlands Kadoorie who rebuilt the bombed power plant after World War II and gave rise to today's glorious China Electric Power Company.

“First, immediately reply to Mr. Su Cheng that there is no possibility of selling CLP Power;
Second, find ways to continue to expand our shareholding ratio. Every additional point will make it more difficult for the other party to annex China Power;

Third, I will immediately go to Mr. Mailihao and ask him to come forward to stop Mr. Su Cheng's actions!

During the time when I was looking for Mr. Mailihao, you continued to take charge of the overall situation in the company! "

Laurence Kadoorie arranged the task very decisively.

"Okay father!" Michael Kadoorie responded.

Afterwards, Rowlands Kadoorie hurried to the Governor's House in Central.

Michael Kadoorie began to arrange work in the company to deal with possible risks.

...At this time, Su Cheng, who was far away in the villa area of ​​Barker Road, was calmly waiting for news from China Electric Power at home.

On the TV, the movie advertisement for "Junior Brother Takes the Fight" is playing.

As Jiayi's first official movie, Jiayi TV station naturally worked hard to promote it.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of this month, the promotional video for "Junior Brother Goes Out" has appeared every day during the advertising time of Jiayi TV.

For Su Cheng, the initiative is now in his hands, and it depends on how the Kadoorie family responds.

Therefore, he does not need to care much about China Electric Power now.

Today is already the 12th of December.

As for the movie "Junior Brother", since its release, its reputation has become better and better. From the day it was released, it has become the box office champion every day, and the gap with the second place has become wider and wider.

From its release on December 12th to yesterday, the 7th, in only 17 days, the box office of "Junior" in Hong Kong has reached 11 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is no statistics on the Southeast Asian market.

According to the normal trend of history, if "Junior Brother" had not appeared in advance, "The Affair" directed and starred by Xu Guanwen would have become the 1978 Hong Kong movie box office champion, with the Hong Kong box office reaching 782 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now "Junior" has appeared in advance. Although it was released in the last month of 1978 and was not released on the 1st, in just 11 days, the box office has exceeded half of "The Contract", and this year , there are still 12 days left.

In other words, if "The Young Master" maintains this trend, there is a high probability that it will surpass "The Pledge of Allegiance" at the box office before December 12.

Regardless of whether it is Golden Harvest Cinema or Shaw Brothers Cinema, business has been much slower because of the movie "Junior".

However, because of this, Jiayi Film Company reported good news to Su City: Shaw Brothers Cinemas hopes to obtain the broadcast authorization of "Junior Brother" and release this movie shot by Jiayi Film Company in Shaw Theaters movie of.

Originally, the movie "The Pledge of Allegiance" has basically been determined to be this year's box office champion, and Golden Harvest Film Company has been promoting it early.

As an opponent, Shaw Brothers Film Company naturally couldn't stand their behavior.

Now, at the end of the year, there is a movie that has a great chance of surpassing "The Pledge of Allegiance". Shaw Brothers Film Company is naturally happy to watch the movie from the sidelines, and also plans to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Jiahe Film Company and help Jiayi Film Company With the help of the company, "Junior Brother" successfully surpassed "The Pledge of Allegiance".

Therefore, Shaw Brothers Cinemas hopes to cooperate with "Junior Brother".

In this regard, Su Cheng naturally very much agrees with this cooperation. After all, it can expand the broadcast channels of "Junior Brother". Maybe the box office this time will be higher than the box office of "Junior Brother" in Su Cheng's previous life.

Sioux City itself has 22 cinemas, and 13 small and medium-sized cinemas have also applied to Jiayi Film Company for film screenings.

Now, coupled with the 16 theaters of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, that is to say, in Hong Kong alone, the number of theaters showing the movie "Junior Brother" will reach 51!
In this case, it is basically impossible that the movie box office of "The Contract" cannot be surpassed in the remaining 12 days of this year!
