"Did Liu Qingyun win the award?" Lin Xiaozhi was sitting in his seat in the cultural center. When he saw Faye Wong on the stage announcing the name 'Liu Qingyun' in a very incredible tone, she was as calm as him. For a moment, it felt like someone had hit my head with a hammer, and I felt a little dizzy. "How could it be him?" On Lin Xiaozhi's left and right sides sat his wife Zhou Huimin and Lin Jianming respectively. Lin Jianming smiled and asked curiously: "What you said is strange. You have made a movie and won a gold cup." , why was I so shocked? " The seat where Lin Jianming was sitting should have been Li Jiaxin. Shortly after noon, his uncle Lin Baixin called him and asked for a seat. Lin Xiaozhi originally thought that it was him or his second son Lin Jianle who wanted to come. Joining in the fun, who would have known that the visitor turned out to be Lin Jianming, and he looked like he was looking for something to do with him. Because there was no time to change, Li Jiaxin took the initiative to give up her seat and sit on Zhou Huimin's left hand side. It¡¯s not surprising, but it¡¯s strange. Although this year¡¯s Academy Awards have undergone major reforms due to his intervention, they have gradually regained the thriving momentum of the Academy Awards in the early years. However, the concessions made by "Film Fortnightly" are not unlimited. For example, they tried to introduce a more reasonable and widely registered public judging system like the American Oscars to replace the Hong Kong Film Awards. When the circle held a group to organize a group review, it was flatly rejected by "Film Fortnight" and could only try again in the future. The inclusive attitude that existed when the Hong Kong Film Awards were first established ten years ago is not something that can be changed immediately. In recent years, the Hong Kong Film Awards judging panel has been deeply influenced by the American film academy, so even before they I am not optimistic that Liu Qingyun will win the Best Actor Gold Cup at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. Lin Jianming naturally didn't know this, so Lin Xiaozhi had to briefly talk to him. He even noticed that a group of ATV cameras responsible for the live broadcast were pointed in his direction, exposing the scene where he and Lin Jianming's uncle and nephew were talking quietly. On the big screen in the Grand Cultural Center venue and on the small screens in many homes in Hong Kong. For Lin Jianming, Lin Xiaozhi has not known how to face him in the past year. The two are uncles and nephews, but this kind of relationship can be so close in wealthy families or so indifferent to the point of litigation. What's more, Lin Xiaozhi still used some tricks in the past two years to acquire most of ATV's shares from Lin Jianming, and instigated him to continue competing with his brother Lin Jianle for Lixin. In the end, his end could not be said to be bleak, but definitely not good. After Lin Baixin intervened, he was angry that he had given up ATV so easily. In addition, there were Lin Jianle and his son beside him to fan the flames. In the end, he arranged a sinecure as a group director and left him alone. It's been almost a year, and as expected, he has completely lost the qualification to compete with his younger brother for the Lin family's property a hundred years from now. Lin Xiaozhi has tricked people, and he knows this well, and what he does is definitely not authentic. Lin Jianming probably figured it out in the past year. He hadn't contacted him much for a year. Today, he suddenly appeared in front of him without showing any care. On the contrary, he became more sure. It was probably Lin Baixin who wanted something. He helps. This is not surprising. When he was at ATV, he was at odds with Lin Jianle, the typical wealthy second generation who was as arrogant as a penguin and had to raise his head when walking. In the past few years, although he has relaxed somewhat and started to greet each other proactively, it was only Limited to this. I'm afraid it was because of this that Lin Baixin asked her eldest son, who had been neglected for a long time, to come forward, betting that he would feel guilty, and this was basically done. As he expected, Lin Jianming would not care about the Academy Awards. However, after chatting with him casually for a few words, he simply went straight to the topic, "Azhi, I heard that your Kowloon Bank has been raising money everywhere recently, right? Want to make a big move?" Lin Xiaozhi frowned and cursed Song Nianhui in his heart for being so careless, but pondered whether he should answer him. In the past six months, Kowloon Bank has been raising money, and Song Nianhui has been operating in secret. Although the current deposit scale of Kowloon Bank has exceeded HK$70 billion, which can barely be regarded as a large local bank, most of the deposits it accepts are short-term liquid funds. Every day, its customers can withdraw and transfer funds. More than 100 million. Once Hong Kong's economy has the slightest turmoil, these short-term deposits are funds that are vulnerable to runs and cannot easily be used as investment funds for banks. Fortunately, thanks to the outstanding performance of the Lin family and Kowloon Bank in the past few years, they have many medium and large financial management customers in Hong Kong. Especially after the establishment of Kowloon Securities last year, they have relied on the good reputation they have built in the past few years in a very short period of time. , attracted nearly 700 VIP customers, and managed nearly 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets for his company and family. With these relationships and connections, plus some other Chinese-owned banks that have good relations with Kowloon Bank, the Lin familyWhen needed, you can raise large amounts of funds through these personal connections. And they do need a large sum of money for certain things, so Song Nianhui has been secretly raising funds since August last year. After quickly turning his head a few times, Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while before answering vaguely: "There is some investment need!" Who knew that Lin Jianming's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked: "Is there still some funding gap now?" "This" This question really stumped him. What he was about to do was extremely difficult compared to his acquisition of UCT Cinemas with PolyGram. There is indeed a funding gap, and it is not small. Even he and Song Nianhui were worried about this two days ago. But even if Lin Xiaozhi now understands that Lin Baixin sent his eldest son Lin Jianming here this time to force him to return the favor, and wants to get a share of the pie, he still has to carefully consider whether he can agree. Because of the two big moves he and Song Nianhui are planning, if one of them comes to fruition, it will help the Lin family achieve its status as the number one Chinese banking family in Hong Kong and even the world in the future. It goes without saying how important it is. The other one is also of extraordinary significance to Lin Xiaozhi. If it can be completed, his Media Asia can be said to be in an invincible position in the world film industry. The prospects are so beautiful, and if the Lin Baixin family intervenes, they will naturally have to share some of the profits. For example, last year he and Lin Baixin proposed that the two families jointly invest and then join the Beijing Film Group on the mainland to jointly acquire land to build a new cinema chain in the mainland. This Although the matter is still at an advanced stage of negotiation, it is now basically confirmed that the Lin Baixin family will invest HK$520 million in it and own 27% of the future theater chain. If it weren't for the consideration of winning over the Lin Baixin family, he actually didn't want to give up this good opportunity that would continue to lay golden eggs ten years later. "That's all. Favors always need to be repaid. What's more, with Lin Baixin, one of the top ten richest people, the shortfall in funds should be made up!" After a gloomy look on his face for a while, Lin Xiaozhi finally made up his mind. He turned to his uncle Lin Jianming, who had the same uncertain expression as him, and seemed very worried that he would refuse: "Uncle Ming, I already understand what you and Uncle Jiu think, so I will make it clear. In the second half of this year , we do have some relatively big deals to do. Although it is a bit reluctant for us to finish it on our own, if we really grit our teeth and complete it, the future will be extremely expensive. Therefore, I will not let others in easily this time. Get the meat out of your mouth!" Upon hearing this, Lin Jianming's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly. He was about to speak when Lin Xiaozhi stretched out his hand in front of him, suppressing the anger that had reached his throat. Just listen to him continue to say: "But I owe Uncle Ming a huge favor on the ATV matter. Jiu Shujie is Jiu Shujie after all. Since he asked you to come forward, I have to give him face even if he is unwilling to do so. . Let¡¯s talk clearly. We have solved most of the funds, but there is still a little bit left. I don¡¯t know where Uncle Jiu heard the news, but if he wants to get involved, he must make up this amount for me. Funds!" The hand that had stopped him from speaking moved slightly. He made a fist with three fingers, raised his thumb and little finger, and drew a number. Lin Jianming suddenly took a breath of air when he saw it. He felt his eyelids twitching. He still held a little hope and asked in a trembling voice: "Six hundred million?" He didn't ask whether it was Hong Kong dollars or US dollars. He was hoping for Lin Xiaozhi's. The answer would be Hong Kong dollars, but I vaguely guessed that the answer might be the second one. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaozhi shook his head simply and spit out a number that made him almost faint: "Six billion Hong Kong dollars!" He had to hold back and scream out in surprise. But even though he held it back, his face turned red and white again and again, which proved that he was not calm at this time. After taking a deep breath and finally suppressing the fear in his heart, Lin Jianming still looked a little frightened and uncertain at the nephew in front of him who suddenly felt so strange. He asked in a trembling voice: "Six billion, What do you want with so much money? " Six billion Hong Kong dollars, this is not a small amount. You must know that the price he quoted when he sold ATV to Lin Xiaozhi just over a year ago was only a fraction of this amount. Now he asked for 6 billion in funds as soon as he opened his mouth, and he also vaguely mentioned that this was just a small gap left in the huge funds he had raised now, and judging from his attitude, Lin Baixin would not even cooperate with him if he did not agree. Tickets are not available. Although Lin Jianming was from a wealthy family, he was so frightened that Lin Jianming lost his mind. After a while, seeing that Lin Xiaozhi still had no intention of answering, he lowered his voice and said: "The amount of funds reported is too large and I can't make the decision. I must explain it to my dad later. Azhi, even if the business you plan to do is huge, you still need help. We are very sincere. You and I are not outsiders. Why don't you let me know a little bit? At least, after I go back, I won't be unable to say anything in front of my dad! "It really makes sense!" Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment. When he looked up, he saw Liu Qingyun standing on the podium with his eyes red. He nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Jiu is a sensible person. You go back and follow me." He just said that we were going to attack a publishing company in East Asia and the United States. He should have been able to guess! "
