Island Tycoon

Chapter 554
Shao Yifu's original plan was that Shaw Brothers Films was about to suspend production, and instead of dealing with it again, the related theaters might as well use it as a bargaining chip this time.

First, to save this trouble, and second, to show my sincerity.Who ever thought that it would be fine if Ye Jingcheng didn't show face, and cut him off before he finished speaking.

"Chengzi, why don't you think about it again? You should know the truth that you can't do it without money. Now that you have so many properties under your name, why bother to fight with me for the right to speak in wireless."

Shao Yifu tried his best to persuade Ye Jingcheng, saying: "If you really want to be a TV media company, wouldn't it be the same to buy Asia TV next door? You can also monopolize all the shares."

"The resources and channels that TVB has, TVB also has. However, TVB doesn't necessarily have the resources and channels that TVB has."

"How about this, as long as Sir Shao gives me 5% of TVB's shares, how about I help you acquire ATV?" Ye Jingcheng said against the general.

5% of wireless equity in exchange for the entire Asian TV, this account is definitely earned by Shao Yifu.

Since Qiu Degen accepted Yuan Li's TV and changed its name to Asia TV, Asia TV has spent a lot of money and resources to cultivate artists and behind-the-scenes.

ATV's performance has been catching up, and it has become a big rival of TVB.In the past, when Li's was dying, TVB accounted for up to 80% of the ratings.

Now that ATV has undergone a round of transformation, TVB's ratings are still higher than that of TVB, but there is a limit to how high it is. When there are strong programs, it can still account for 60% of the ratings, otherwise it will account for [-]% at most.

In addition to Qiu Degen, he was originally one of Wireless's shareholders, and he is very clear about Shao Yifu's tricks. It can be said that he is a targeted contest with Wireless.

Therefore, the value of ATV also increased greatly. Ye Jingcheng exchanged 50% of ATV's equity with Qiu Degen for 10% of TVB's equity.Now 10% of TVB's equity is at most in exchange for 30% of ATV's equity.

And Ye Jingcheng promised to use 5% of the equity to help Shao Yifu complete the acquisition of ATV.This value has increased by at least six times. Hasn't Shao Yifu made a lot of money?
However, this is only a superficial benefit. In fact, once Shao Yifu gave up the 5% equity, Ye Jingcheng's power in wireless has already fallen into Ye Jingcheng's hands.

Ye Jingcheng now holds 47% of wireless shares, while Shao Yifu has 1% more than him, reaching 48% of the shares.The decisive point for the two of them now lies with George Madden, who holds the remaining 5% of the shares.

Whoever gives up the shares to the other party, or gets the other party's first step or George Madden's shareholding, the power of wireless will fall into the hands of the other party.

At that time, whether the other party holds 47% or 48% of the shares, it is actually no different from holding 1% of the shares.

It is all up to the winning side to operate as it wants, and there is no need to ask the other side for opinions.

"I'm old, and it's not suitable for me to start over. You should go for it when you're young."

Seeing Ye Jingcheng's reluctance, Shao Yifu also knew that there would be no results if the talks continued like this, or he would voluntarily back down, but this was obviously impossible. Shao was brought back by his hard work. It is not an exaggeration to compare it to his son.

What's more, because of Fang Yihua's affairs, several of his sons and daughters stopped interacting with his biological father. Wireless just made up for his lack of spirituality.

It was just like this that he became the passive party in this matter, and the only prerequisite for Ye Jingcheng to back down was to offer enough benefits to make the other party tempted.

"It's impossible for me to sell the four leading theaters to you, but for the dozen or so medium and small theaters, I can sell them to you at the market price plus [-]%." Shao Yifu offered the biggest condition.

A dozen or so small and medium-sized theaters can be said to have been his painstaking efforts in the first half of his life. If he hadn't planned to stop Shaw Brothers' production and the needs of wireless, he would never have considered selling them to Ye Jingcheng.

Especially in today's sluggish housing prices, even if the basic price increases by [-]%, it is far from the price before the outbreak of the financial crisis.

"Oh!" Ye Jingcheng never thought that Shao Yifu would make such a big choice, and a dozen or so small and medium-sized theaters were definitely his lifeblood.

If Shao Yifu was ten or twenty years younger and had enough fighting spirit and action, his choice would definitely not be renting out the theater or even selling it, but most likely to turn the tide and get Shaw Brothers back on track.

Ye Jingcheng was undeniably interested in those dozen or so small and medium theaters.The value of the theater and the land, even if he doesn't do any operations in the middle, put it on hold for ten or eight years and then change hands, it is still a lucrative investment.

Ye Jingcheng's right to speak for wireless has not yet reached the point where he must win.Because of the influence of many media such as "New Paper", "Financial Daily" and "Film Biweekly", he can completely grasp the public opinion in Hong Kong Island.

And his next plan is mainly to open up overseas markets.After all, the small pastry on Hong Kong Island, the three most profitable industries of real estate, stocks, and film and television, are slowly growing under his control.

In addition, even if he gets the right to talk about wireless, he still needs a trustworthy person to take over the management.At present, this position is still vacant, which means that he needs to personally handle the affairs for a period of time until this position is implemented.

In terms of time, whether it is long or short, whether it is short or one or two months, or as long as three or five months, the selection of candidates can be implemented.

Ye Jingcheng was considering whether he had enough time. On the one hand, the project of "Shatian First City" transferred to him by Li Jiacheng required him to deal with it from time to time. On the other hand, Qingdeng Entertainment also had a plan to dominate Hong Kong in a short period of time. Island market.

If you add another wireless...

It is also necessary to prevent Shao Yifu from not getting the right to speak in wireless, and secretly tripping him up.

After thinking about it, Ye Jingcheng knew why and asked, "Sir Shao, you say so, Shaw Films is planning to stop production?"

You kid just want to see my jokes!
Finally, Shao Yifu, who was very angry with Ye Jingcheng, let out a little "hum" and said, "I just want to concentrate on running Wireless."

"Oh! So you want to throw a pot at me?" Ye Jingcheng suddenly realized.

"What pot! Do you mean I'm going to kill you?" Shao Yifu was so angry that he almost didn't yell at him, and said, "Do you know that my dozen or so theaters, not to mention transferring them, are just renting them out? Compete for people."

"Then did you find it?"

……

……

……

With Ye Jingcheng's arrival today, Shao Yifu thought about many situations, but he never thought that Ye Jingcheng would pretend to be stupid and play rogue with him, because Ye Jingcheng's behavior has always been selfish and direct.

Unexpectedly, his status has been improved now, but instead he plays these tricks that can't be put on the table.

"Do you know that renting out these dozen theaters is enough to start a new theater circuit?" Shao Yifu lost his patience, and his original smile disappeared.

He wanted to tell Ye Jingcheng indirectly that the formation of a new theater chain would definitely affect other theater chains.Just like Ye Jingcheng had a foot in at the beginning, the four theater chains quickly lost their balance.

He believes that Ye Jingcheng knows this truth. Now he, Shao Yifu, is not asking you, but as a mutually beneficial business, and everyone conducts the transaction equally.

Ye Jingcheng naturally analyzed this point, he knew better what Shao Yifu was thinking.Dozens of medium and small theaters can indeed pull up a theater chain, but the scale of this theater chain is destined to be small.

Leading theaters are the key to a theater chain. Among the five major theater chains including Nanguo Cinemas, which one does not have more than three leading theaters?It is even more difficult to do it with just a dozen small and medium-sized theaters than Ye Jingcheng, a traveler.

On the contrary, the four leading theaters owned by Shao Yifu will be rented from him in the future, and a few theaters can be gathered at will to pull up a theater line without worrying about the appearance. Even if the scale is small, there is a signboard, right? ?
"Sir Shao, you are not sincere enough." Ye Jingcheng laughed.

"Why am I not sincere enough!" Shao Yifu almost scolded his mother.

He also saw the current situation clearly. It's not that this business has nothing to do with it, but that Ye Jingcheng is doing his best to get as much benefit as possible from him.

Shao Yifu was out of breath for a moment, so he simply closed his eyes.After staying for a little bit of joy, he said, "Forget it! You can make a price."

Shao Yifu is not a person who regards money as his life, but people with money and status are generally not generous.It's not that they are stingy, but that they calculate the accounts too clearly.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng said, "Except for Sir Shao, you transferred these dozen theaters to me, how about renting the other four leading theaters to me?"

"It's that simple?" Ye Jingcheng just added one more harmless condition after wasting most of his saliva?If I had known that he had said that from the beginning, I wouldn't have been so angry.

"In addition, I also need TVB's artist resources." He acquired TVB for two purposes, one of which is to better grasp the public opinion of the society, and the other is to cultivate enough performing arts talents through training courses.

"No!" As if thinking of something, Shao Yifu, who was about to let go, took back his words and said, "If you buy ATV in the future, wouldn't two families become one family?"

Ye Jingcheng shook his head and laughed, it seemed that the old man was so angry that his ability to think was affected.He can give up TVB in the coming year, and ATV will not be too fancy.

Furthermore, the two did not make a verbal agreement. At that time, they can clearly list in the contract, under what circumstances, one party will be deemed to have breached the contract, and thus the contract between the two parties will be terminated.

"Don't worry, Sir Shao. The artists I signed will only appear in movies." Ye Jingcheng pointed this out a little bit,
Immediately, Shao Yifu felt a little lost because of his lack of thinking.Are you really old?

After completing the preliminary agreement, the two talked for nearly an hour.These include acquisition fees for small and medium-sized theaters, rental fees for leading theaters, resource utilization for artists, and other aspects.

The two roughly negotiated a written agreement, and the rest is waiting for both parties to ask lawyers to prepare relevant documents, investigate some possible loopholes, and formulate a complete contract.
