    In Hollywood, anyone with some knowledge knows that pure film production companies will no longer work after the development of television. By the 1970s, only six of the eight veteran Hollywood film companies were left.  Forced by this severe situation, major film companies are looking to develop financial resources, such as forming partnerships with TV stations to provide long-term TV movies and TV series, or cooperating with toy manufacturers to develop movie-themed toys and themed games.  wait.  Of course, theme clothing has also become one of the most important peripheral products, and various activities and industries based on blockbuster movies have become an important source of income for film companies.  Film companies with some insight know that the future will definitely be dominated by conglomerates. They are also working hard to expand and transform. However, except for Disney, which has been successful because of its diversified development, the rest have failed.  Has been acquired successively.  If the inertia of history does not cause a huge derailment, next year, in 1984, media tycoon Murdoch's News Corporation will stretch out its fangs and swallow up 20th Century Fox; in 1989, Columbia Pictures, which is affiliated with the Coca-Cola Company, will  It will be acquired by Sony Corporation of Japan; in 1990, Warner Corporation will be taken over by the behemoth Time Group and renamed Time Warner; in 1993, Paramount, which has been struggling to support itself, will also be acquired by digital giants  After a fierce competition, it finally fell into the hands of the multimedia group Viacom; Universal Pictures was not much better. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was tossed around by American Music Company and Japan's Matsushita Electric, and then  New Century Vivendi changed hands and was sold to General Electric and Comcast (NBC); the most unlucky child was MGM, which was acquired by Las Vegas gambling tycoon Kerkorian in the 1970s.  , and then opened a casino and hotel. Like a toy, Kerkorian sold it twice and bought it twice. In the end, it couldn't bear the tossing - it went bankrupt.  Beginning in the 1980s and ending in the mid-to-late 1990s, several large-scale conglomerate film companies appeared in Hollywood, forming a strong monopoly on a global scale. Since then, no new force has been able to rise.  New Line made a lot of money with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and was immediately acquired by Time Warner. Even though it earned more than 6 billion US dollars globally with "Lord of the Rings", it still did not escape the fate of being ravaged by Time Warner.  Miramax, which had great success with independent productions such as "Sex Lies Tape" and "Pulp Fiction," was quickly swallowed up by Disney.  DreamWorks was preceded by Spielberg, followed by Paul Allen and the South Korean Samsung consortium, which burned billions of dollars. Ten years later, it collapsed and fell into the pocket of Paramount.  This is the fate of Hollywood¡¯s arrogant film companies, which are just like toys of capitalists.  As for the film companies in Hong Kong, none of them were successful. When the box office revenue was not good, they all withered, went bankrupt, and evaporated, leaving only a few cats and dogs that were lingering.  Yuan Tianfan is not Zhuge Liang who knows everything, and he can only make limited predictions about the general trend of development. Although Zhang Shaoping is a time-travelling party, he does not have the ability to remember the direction of history in detail, but his analysis of Yuan Tianfan is  Good or bad, he still has basic common sense to judge.  He chose to support Yuan Tianfan's idea, just like Li Jiacheng agreed with MacLeis' proposal, which is absolutely of extraordinary significance.  Zhang Shaoping has never considered himself to be a great person, and he would never do something stupid like directing a movie on his own.  If you plagiarize the film and television masterpieces of later generations, put aside your memory - it is impossible to be so good, you can write it down accurately - not to mention, once the time and space environment is changed, the classics of later generations may be scum at this time.  ,Nobody cares.  Zhang Shaoping has a clear mind. The most successful thing for crossing the party is not to make movies, write, become a scholar, or even enter politics, but after making the first money, use the huge information that is temporarily ahead to plagiarize some ideas of later generations.  Such as sales methods, fashion, or investing in potential companies such as Microsoft and Lenovo.  Of course, the safest way is to hire professional managers and professional directors to manage the company for you.  Precisely because Zhang Shaoping realized his own shortcomings, he completely followed Yuan Tianfan's suggestions to integrate the company's structure.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "Mr. Zhang, thank you so much!" Zhang Shaoping held Zhang Jianhua's hand and said gratefully.  Zhang Jianhua squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, well, calling you Mr. Zhang is too difficult to pronounce. I will just rely on the same surname as everyone and call you Xiao Zhang. Do you mind?" Zhang Shaoping said respectfully: "Where are you talking?  The old man calls me Xiao Zhang, because he thinks highly of me, and I am not happy enough. " Zhang Jianhua looks smiling, kind-hearted, and speaks calmly, but Zhang Shaoping really doesn't dare to be disrespectful to this person, and he acts respectfully like a junior.  Accompanied by good words.   If you ask Hong Kong people, well, or even mainlanders, who Zhang Jianhua is, probably few people can tell you, but he is the general manager of the famous China Resources Company.  When talking about Hong Kong, everyone always thinks of the four major foreign banks, the four major families, the red capitalist Huo Yingdong, and the entertainment tycoon Yifu Shao. But when it comes to true influence, there are two most important companies in Hong Kong, namely HSBC Bank and  China Resources Corporation - one controls Hong Kong's economy and finance, and the other controls Hong Kong's daily life.  Therefore, when China Resources holds its annual meeting, no matter how tense the relationship between China and Britain is, the Hong Kong Governor will attend to congratulate the company.  China Resources is a company in name, but in fact it is a foreign trade window established by the Chinese government in Hong Kong. It is a gray shadow company registered in Hong Kong in a private name, and then passes an internal agreement to stipulate that private individuals hold shares on behalf of the state.  The mainland uses "three express trains" to supply fresh and frozen products to Hong Kong and Macao. Live livestock and live poultry account for more than 90% of the Hong Kong market, and these products are exclusively sold by Ng Fung Hong, a subsidiary of China Resources.  Not only that, China Resources Corporation transported oil and rice from the mainland to Hong Kong, stabilizing oil and rice prices, thereby controlling the daily lives of Hong Kong people.  By the 1980s, China Resources had been involved in gas stations, warehouses, cargo holds, terminals, tankers, fleets, shopping malls, supermarkets, subway construction and many other industries, becoming a veritable giant.  If foreign investors want to invest and do business in the mainland, China Resources is an unavoidable hurdle. For example, Zhang Shaoping's clothing and food ingredients required for fast food restaurants are all shipped and purchased by China Resources.  Because China Resources has its own transportation trains, and because so far, China Resources is the government agency where the second generation red generation is most willing to work.  That¡¯s right!  China Resources is not a store, but a government agency, the second Ministry of Foreign Trade.  This characteristic cannot be changed no matter how it is changed.  Zhang Jianhua was satisfied to see that Zhang Shaoping didn't have the impetuous and arrogant mentality of a successful young man. He nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, I have heard about your fortune-making deeds. It's very good! What's even more rare is that you have a  With a pure heart, not only supporting the construction of the country, but also firmly standing on the side of the motherland on major issues of right and wrong! Remember the well diggers when drinking water, it is rare for us old and immortal people like you to take advantage of it!  I¡¯m a little bit tired, so I¡¯ll help you if you can.¡± Zhang Shaoping felt embarrassed and said, ¡°You¡¯re too proud of me. I¡¯m not as enlightened as you said! I just made some money.¡±  We should repay the motherland, repay the society, and do some charity work. In this way, if the company's reputation is improved, it will naturally be recognized by more people and make more money." Zhang Jianhua laughed and scolded: "Little slicker."  Zhang Shaoping said this, but Zhang Jianhua felt that he was a more sincere person. If Zhang Shaoping really followed the lead and said some empty words such as throwing his head and blood, Zhang Jianhua would think twice.  In Zhang Jianhua's life, he has never seen any big storms or enjoyed any glory and wealth. He wants power and money. It can even be said that he is inextricably linked to many high-level officials in the central government, reaching all the way to the sky.  Listening is easier than eating and drinking.  Next, like an elder, Zhang Jianhua asked Zhang Shaoping long and short questions. The things he talked about and the issues he mentioned were all kinds of, involving politics, economy, culture, life, etc., and asked about everything.  To be honest, this is very much like checking a family background. Even if I beat Zhang Shaoping to death, I wouldn¡¯t believe it. Zhang Jianhua¡¯s purpose is just to make things happen!  "What does this old man mean? He just asked China Resources to pull the strings. Does he need to go there himself?" Zhang Shaoping thought while dealing with Zhang Jianhua cautiously.  The business stall was too big. Zhang Shaoping was in urgent need of money, so he thought of bank loans. However, the valuation of his assets by HSBC, Jardine Matheson, and Citigroup was too low, and they were only willing to give him HK$700 million.  Of course Zhang Shaoping was dissatisfied with such a price, but people also put it euphemistically. Although his industry in the mainland was developing well, it was very risky because there was no telling when mainland policies would change and everything would be wiped out.  It's pretty, so it's not worth much.  At this time, Zhang Shaoping immediately thought of Standard Chartered Bank.  In the past, Zhang Shaoping, like many others, had a misunderstanding that there were only state-owned banks in the mainland. But in fact, there is one bank that has never left China since its establishment, and that is Standard Chartered Bank.  Since Standard Chartered Bank established its first branch in Shanghai in 1858, it has become the oldest foreign bank in China.  After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Standard Chartered Bank was allowed to continue operating in Shanghai, and at the request of the new government, it assisted in opening up the financial situation of the People's Republic of China.  In the 1950s, Standard Chartered Bank's lending business to China focused on the chemical and steel industries.  During the reform and opening up in the 1980s, Standard Chartered Bank took the lead in rebuilding its service network in China.  In addition to the existing Shanghai branch, Standard Chartered has spread across 15 cities in China, becoming the most extensive foreign bank network in China.  So Zhang Shaoping thought ofChina Resources, which has business dealings with it, wanted to ask China Resources to join hands and meet with the senior executives of Standard Chartered Bank in Asia.  Who knew that China Resources not only agreed, but its boss Zhang Jianhua personally came forward.  Of course, Standard Chartered Bank is different from other banks outside. It quickly gave a reasonable valuation of HK$1 billion.  Based on a discount of 80% of the value, Zhang Shaoping can obtain a loan of HK$800 million.  </a><a>Mobile phone users please read it here.  </a>
