The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 281
In Xu Guanwu's view, losing the Taiwan market is nothing. Now the annual income of Xu's films in Taiwan is only 3000 to 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only [-] million US dollars.

If you lose this little money, you will lose it. Xu Guanwu thinks it doesn't matter, and he can still afford it.The companies under the Xu Brothers did not panic because they might lose the Taiwan market. After all, the biggest box office base for the films of the Xu Brothers Company is not Taiwan, but the United States, which is far away across the ocean.

In Taiwan, a good film sells for several million Hong Kong dollars at most, but in the United States it is several million dollars, a difference of at least five times.In comparison, Taiwan is no longer so important.

But although the Xu Brothers Company was not in a panic, the companies it cooperated with were all panicked.If Xu Guanwu really declares that he is a leftist and has a background in the mainland, then his company will naturally be regarded as a leftist, and the employees in the company will naturally be regarded as leftists.

In that case, my company cooperates with Xu's company, and the film produced is full of "leftist" actors, and the staff in the crew are also "leftist", so such a film should not be released in Taiwan.They are not as capable as Xu's Films, which can sell films to the United States. Taiwan is their biggest box office base.If the film cannot be released in Taiwan, then they really want to cry without tears.

In addition to the fact that these film companies that cooperated with Xu's were facing a big enemy, they called Xu Guanwu to inquire, and the Taiwan Bamboo Federation also called to inquire.

If Xu Guanwu is really a leftist, then Xu's films cannot be shown in Taiwan, and artists under Xu's banner cannot show up. Then the Bamboo Federation will really lose a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

In the past few years, with the help of the Xu Brothers' films, Zhulian has gradually recovered its vitality, and opened hotels and restaurants, and also set foot in entertainment and other serious businesses. Although it has some other income, Xu's films are still Indian. The banknote machine is the fixed banknote source of Zhulian.If Xu's films cannot be shown in Taiwan, then all the development of the Bamboo Union will be like water without roots, and I am afraid that it will be reduced to a sad situation immediately.

"I said boss, don't make this joke with me." Zhang Anle shouted loudly, "Our Bamboo Union has just recruited more than 1000 younger brothers, and we are just waiting for the movie to start. If it really can't be released , then we will have a hard time. Big brother, you are really my big brother, you must not do stupid things!"

In addition to the mourning of Zhulian, Taiwan Fumao Records is also facing disaster.As one of Xu's records, if Xu Guanwu expresses his political stance, then as a leftist record company, it will definitely be liquidated by the department. Even if it is just a record company, who can guarantee that there is no Communist Party in it? Aberdeen's telegraph? !
In addition to these partners in the entertainment industry, Xu Guanwu's other business partners, such as Hopewell Real Estate, Li Zhaoji of Henderson Land, and Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Enterprises, also called or came here in person to persuade Xu Guanwu not to be a fool thing.

In the 70s, Hong Kong was still a British colony after all, and conservative forces were quite strong.In contrast, the pro-inland leftist forces have lost popular support because of the previous campaign, and now their momentum is not as good as before.Even Tycoon Huo Yingdong has to keep a low profile, let alone other people.

If Xu Guanwu declares that his political stance is really pro-inland, then it will be really miserable. Any company with his shareholding will be suppressed by other forces after all, just like the Starlight Building built by the tycoon Fok Yingdong back then. The United States does not allow it. The tenants in the building buy American products, and even the money counters are not allowed to be made in the United States.But the British Telegraph Company refused to install the telephone, forcing Huo Daheng to sell Starlight House to British Land Company at a low price.

However, Hongkong Land Company sold the Star House and made a net profit of 70 million Hong Kong dollars. 3000 million Hong Kong dollars in the [-]s was quite an astronomical sum.The tycoon Huo Yingdong was frustrated by this, so he died down, otherwise there would be no such thing as Li Jiacheng and other Chinese real estate five tigers.

"Mr. Xu, you really have to think it over before you talk. Our company is currently applying for land from the government, so please don't get into trouble at this time." Li Zhaoji looked at Xu Guanwu with longing eyes.

"Mr. Xu, if you insist on declaring your political stance, can you let me buy back your Cheung Kong stock?" Li Jiacheng also asked worriedly.

……

Xu Guanwu didn't expect that just going to the mainland to participate in the Canton Fair would cause such a big commotion, and he could not resist the counterattack of the conservative forces.

"Ah Wu, I don't think you should go to the mainland. You see, because of this incident, the city is full of wind and rain, and everyone is a little panicked." Xu Guanwen also persuaded.

"Second brother, I think it's better if you don't go. You are not in the import and export business. What are you doing in the Mainland to participate in the Canton Fair? Where are the goods you bought?" Xu Guanjie also persuaded, "If you really want to do business for the Mainland Make some contributions, how about we secretly donate a little money? Don’t make it so loud, lest people don’t know that you are going to the mainland.”

Outsiders persuaded him not to go, and his family members also stopped him from going. Xu Guanwu is really suffering from internal and external troubles now.

"Fuck, those people from the Chinese Entrepreneur Association go there twice a year, and Mr. Huo even goes there more than a dozen times a year. Everyone doesn't take it seriously. Why do I make such a fuss when I go there?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing, "Who on earth leaked the news, and the damn Ma brothers, I won't provoke you, you will provoke me, do you think I'm easy to bully now?"

Xu Guanwu couldn't figure it out, and he was hesitant about whether to go to the mainland or not.Ordinarily, if the film alone cannot be released in Taiwan, it is nothing to Xu Guanwu.That box office is really not in his eyes, and Xu Guanwu also believes that the sooner Hong Kong films can get rid of their dependence on Taiwan's box office, the better it will be for its future development.

However, when it comes to big real estate companies such as Cheung Kong Enterprises and Henderson Land Development, Xu Guanwu can't help hesitating.

These two companies are large companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the future, and they are also the foundation for Xu Guanwu to settle down in Hong Kong. If he is forced to withdraw from these companies, Xu Guanwu will really suffer heavy losses.

"It seems that I'm really not a pure revolutionary, so I hesitated for such a small benefit." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, let God help me decide. If it's a human head, I won't go. If it's a character, I will definitely go." Xu Guanwu hesitated for a long time in the study but couldn't make up his mind, so he had to find a coin from his wallet. Come on, decide by tossing a coin.

"God Amitabha bless you, Amen, Amen!" Xu Guanwu muttered silently for a moment, and then threw out the coin in his hand.

"Word... word... word..." Xu Guanwu reached out to pick it up while muttering, but the coin rubbed against his wrist, and fell to the ground with a snap, and then rolled to the bottom of the sofa.

"I wipe, do you want to play me like this?" Xu Guanwu lay on the ground and looked in, but the bottom of the sofa was too close to the ground, so he couldn't see where the coins were.

Xu Guanwu had no choice but to forcefully move the sofa to the side, and then walked over to take a closer look, but couldn't help but froze there, "Pat, do you want to play me like this?" It turned out that the coin was stuck vertically in the crack of the floor, neither The queen's head, not the lion's head.

"What does this mean? Do you want me to go or not?" Xu Guanwu pinched his chin and wondered.

At this moment, the phone in the study suddenly rang, which startled Xu Guanwu who was in deep thought. He answered the phone angrily, but it was Daheng Huo who called.

"Little fellow, we already know your current situation. After discussing with President Liang, I still think that you should not go to the mainland for the time being." Daheng Huo said earnestly, "It will cause such a big disturbance, and it will affect your life and This is something that neither of us thought of beforehand. I also want to say sorry to you. President Liang and I both think that as long as you have patriotism, patriotism should not be rushed for a moment, as long as you think about the country all the time. , is a qualified patriot.”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being moved, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.My side is still hesitating, but the other side has already put themselves in their own shoes and thought so much, it is so considerate.

"Mr. Huo, I thank you and President Liang for your concern. Don't worry, although I can't pass people, I still have to bring money. Just help me bring some more goods back." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said.

"That's fine, the little fellow wants to buy something when he comes back, but let me remind you in advance that the purchasing power of one to twenty five million US dollars can buy a lot of goods." Mr. Huo Yingdong reminded.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but ponder for a moment. It seems that there are not many that can be stored for a long time without depreciation. Except for the wine that gets older as it brews, the only thing left is Pu'er tea.

"Mr. Huo, help me buy white wine and Pu'er tea." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "These things are good for storage, and they won't go bad and depreciate immediately."

"Baijiu and Pu'er tea can be stored. However, the sales volume of mainland baijiu is not high overseas, and it may not be sold out for a long time after you buy it. You'd better be mentally prepared for this." Mr. Huo Yingdong reminded road.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing, and said to himself that I didn't buy baijiu thinking that it could be exchanged for cash immediately. In fact, if it can be saved until the new century, the price of the 500 million US dollars of baijiu may increase by a hundred times.

Sunflower Moutai, which was exported in the 70s, was auctioned in the New Century with a sky-high price of 70 yuan.Compared with the price of 40s, at least it has doubled by more than a thousand times.Even if you remove 25 years, there is a [-]-fold increase every year.

With an annual interest rate of more than 25 times, even drug trafficking and arms smuggling do not make such a big profit. It is simply more profitable than robbing a bank.

"The annual production of liquor and Pu'er tea in the Mainland has a fixed amount, and you may have to earn the 500 million US dollars for several years." Huo Yingdong said with a smile, "Why don't I help you buy some handicrafts? Inland silk, porcelain, jade, ivory carvings, mahogany furniture, etc., are still considered best-sellers.”

"Then you help me bring some jade, ivory carvings, mahogany furniture, etc. I won't touch silk and porcelain, I really don't understand that." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Help me choose some good jade, expensive It doesn't matter at all."

"Then it's settled, everything is covered by me, and I promise to help you purchase it properly." Huo Yingdong also said with a smile, "But I still want to remind you, get the warehouse ready first, Don’t be unable to unload the goods at that time.”

……

After talking with Tycoon Huo Yingdong, Xu Guanwu let out a big sigh of relief, feeling much lighter all over his body.

President Liang and Huo Daheng together helped him resolve the current dilemma and freed Xu Guanwu from the mud.

Xu Guanwu's worries were all gone as soon as Huo Daheng made a phone call, he couldn't help but feel relieved and his mind became clear, "How much warehouse do we need to prepare for a cargo worth 500 million US dollars? If we rent it for 40 years, wouldn't that be the rent?" Is the price sky-high? Or should I buy land and build some warehouses myself? Just treat it as hoarding land.”

"Ah Wu, the meal is ready, do you want to eat first?" Zhao Yazhi cautiously opened the door and asked in a low voice.

Recently, Xu Guanwu was in a very bad mood because of being oppressed by conservative forces. Although he didn't get angry with her, his face was always clouded, which made her feel a little dizzy.
