Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After being polite, Li Mingbao finally sat in Uncle Six's office.  As usual, Uncle Six made the tea and then asked for tea, which was a good start.  In fact, Li Mingbao is very tired of dealing with old foxes like Uncle Liu, because their speech is too indirect. If you say a good word, people like Uncle Liu will go around with you without mentioning the key points for half an hour.  Even if he gets to the point, he still has to be euphemistic. If he doesn't understand the culture that well, he might misinterpret what Uncle Liu meant.  "Compared to the straightforwardness of the Yankees, people like Uncle Six are really uncomfortable.  And you can't ignore every word Uncle Liu says, because although every word they say is nonsense, the nonsense has meaning.  If you don't think carefully, you may miss something, or you may suffer a hidden loss without realizing it.  When Li Mingbao talked with Uncle Liu before, he often took advantage of him. Although it was just a verbal advantage, it was still somewhat unpleasant.  I learned better later on, but there is still a gap between me and the sophisticated Sixth Uncle.  Later, Li Mingbao didn't bother to start a verbal argument with Uncle Liu. He listened to Uncle Liu and kept his bottom line, and finally he was able to fool him.  And now, Li Mingbao was curious about what Uncle Six was going to say next.  This time meeting with Uncle Six, for Li Mingbao, it was the first time he had the upper hand.  With money as the backing, coupled with Aunt Six's previous attitude, it was clear to Li Mingbao that no matter how strong his strength was, it was not just for show. Even an old man like Uncle Six would still compromise.  "Ah Bao, you really gave us Hong Kong people some face this time. We Hong Kong people have never taken advantage of such a big deal in Hollywood. Three hundred million US dollars is not a small amount. None of the big families in Hong Kong now  Those who can afford such a large amount of money will never have so much living money on hand. "Uncle Six, please don't flatter me. Those big guys in Hong Kong all have property."  Unlike me, I am still alone and only have money. If we really want to calculate the value, what does my little money mean? At this level, it is really useless to have money, Standard Chartered Bank.  Don¡¯t have money? I still have to put my money with them. In this world, the most important thing is industry. With industry, money will continue to flow. Without industry, no matter how much money you have, it will be wasted. ¡± ¡°You.  It's time to have an industry in Hong Kong. With so much money, if you don't develop well in Hong Kong, you will be sorry for your talent. The world in Hong Kong needs young people like you to develop.  It's lifeless and won't be of much benefit to Hong Kong. If you have any plans, you might as well tell me. Uncle Liu may not have as much money as you, but when it comes to his familiarity with Hong Kong, I definitely want it.  More than you. I should know better than you which industries can be entered into and which industries are more troublesome." Uncle Liu said slowly.  Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Li Mingbao's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be sincere and said: "I also know how much I weigh, and I don't know how to do other industries in Hong Kong. The only one I am most familiar with now is movies.  I also started in this industry, and I have a deep affection for this industry. So after I got money, I thought about whether I could develop in this industry. But Hong Kong is such a place.  Big, it¡¯s not easy to get into the industry. After all, we are all acquaintances. It¡¯s not good to be too tough. I was wondering if Uncle Liu could help a little bit. I didn¡¯t expect that Uncle Liu would take the initiative to bring it up today, so I won¡¯t.  You're welcome, I hope Uncle Six can help me with my advice." What Uncle Six said was equivalent to giving a pillow to Li Mingbao.  Why does Li Mingbao want to get the money back?  Isn¡¯t it just to get involved in the Hong Kong film industry?  Otherwise, if you get so much money back and just put it in Standard Chartered Bank to earn interest, wouldn't it be wasted in vain?  He doesn't really want to contribute to Standard Chartered Bank. The relationship between them is not that good yet.  Even if Standard Chartered Bank wanted to let Li Mingbao invest in Standard Chartered after seeing Li Mingbao's money, Li Mingbao had no interest.  Although Standard Chartered Bank is one of the issuing banks of Hong Kong dollars, as long as you invest in it, it seems to be very profitable, and in fact the profits are indeed considerable.  But the problem is that although Li Mingbao has 300 million U.S. dollars, he looks very rich, but compared to an old bank like Standard Chartered, although 300 million U.S. dollars is a lot, if it is exchanged for their shares, he will only be a small shareholder.  .  If Li Mingbao has no other ideas, becoming a small shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and eating dividends while lying in bed is definitely a good idea.  But Li Mingbao has various ideas. Turning his living money into shares of Standard Chartered is a loss-making transaction for Li Mingbao.  As long as Li Mingbao is given time, he can use his current money.If he gets more money and develops seriously, he may be able to buy Standard Chartered in less than ten years.  In this case, why should he use the only working capital he has on Standard Chartered?  It¡¯s just picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.  It is very difficult for others to get shares of Standard Chartered, but for Li Mingbao, this thing is a trap.  Standard Chartered Bank is not Li Mingbao¡¯s target, but Uncle Liu is not sure.  To be honest, Li Mingbao was so jealous of the resources that Uncle Six controlled that he was drooling with envy.  To be honest, even though Hong Kong people praise Uncle Liu very highly, it seems that Uncle Liu is really great in business.  In fact, in Li Mingbao's view, Uncle Six was a prodigal who squandered resources without making good use of them.  The resources that Uncle Liu has at his disposal are something that no one else in Hong Kong can envy.  But the problem is that Uncle Liu himself has never realized this problem.  His view of the world has great limitations.  To put it more seriously, Uncle Liu's overall view is very problematic. In other words, his eyes only saw Hong Kong and turned a blind eye to other places.  If Uncle Six had a slightly higher vision, the history of the Hong Kong film industry would have changed a lot. Speaking of the decline of the Hong Kong film industry, Uncle Six himself would be more or less responsible.  This is not that Li Mingbao is talking nonsense, but that Li Mingbao uses his ideas to think from the position of Uncle Six, and he can do many things very well.  Take Uncle Liu's resources as an example. He didn't consider the industrial chain at all.  The wireless in my hand is just a wireless, and Shaw is just a Shaw. I have never thought about what kind of landscape will appear when the two are combined.  " If Li Mingbao were to do it, the most obvious thing would be to connect TVB and Shaw Brothers more closely. It would not be unusual to use the film resources in Uncle Liu's hands to expand into television.  It is not impossible for a good TV series to be turned into a movie script.  With the combination of the two alone, Shaw Brothers movies would not be in such a state of decline.  And this is just the most superficial cooperation, and the most important resource in Uncle Liu's hands, Uncle Liu even pretends not to see it at all.  Only Uncle Liu has the most resources for entertainers in Hong Kong, and everyone is jealous of him.  "But Uncle Liu just couldn't see this resource. Instead of taking good care of it, he treated those actors as slaves, squeezed them to death, and blocked them at every turn.  Under such circumstances, how many people can be grateful to Uncle Liu?  Uncle Liu¡¯s cost-saving can also be said to be the result of stinginess, that is, no matter what industry he has in his hands, there is not much development, and the market value shrinks.  If Uncle Six had a slightly broader vision, he might not be able to become a media giant like Murdoch.  But unfortunately, Uncle Six's own character made him go further and further away from the path of a media tycoon.  Rather than saying that Uncle Six created the Hong Kong film industry, it is better to say that Uncle Six created the Hong Kong film industry thanks to the times.  If Uncle Six hadn't seized the absolute advantage and asked Chow Wenhuai to take Uncle Six's seat, Hong Kong's entertainment industry would definitely have achieved greater development.  If Uncle Six didn't have that head start, with Uncle Six's stingy character, he might have become a passerby.  If Uncle Six knew about Li Mingbao's comments, he would definitely fall out immediately. However, these thoughts of Li Mingbao were only in his mind. Apart from him, not even his eldest brother knew that Li Mingbao evaluated Uncle Six like this.  So Li Mingbao can still sit here peacefully and brag and fart with Uncle Six.  The more money, the greater the ability, so at this time, Li Mingbao is also thinking about how to take over the resources in Uncle Liu's hands.  Since Uncle Six can't do it well, let him do it. Hong Kong movies shouldn't just decline like this, leaving future generations to sigh.  Li Mingbao's thoughts were just spinning around in his mind. In fact, not much time had passed. Even Uncle Liu didn't notice Li Mingbao's momentary absence.  After hearing what Li Mingbao said, Uncle Six thought about it for a moment before speaking.  "Uncle Liu is a veteran of the film industry. The development of the film market in Hong Kong is partly due to my uncle Liu. Uncle Liu, I still support your entry into this industry, Abao. You are a person with ideas.  , and you are very capable. Although the Hong Kong film industry is not very prosperous now, it has actually recovered. Judging from the box office of Hong Kong movies, the future development of movies will be very good.  The people in this circle are no strangers to it, so I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯m too much of a burden. I don¡¯t know much about this industry in other places. But in Hong Kong, the most deadly thing about this industry is actually just that.  One is theater chains. Without theater chains, even if you have a good movie, it will be difficult to show it. Although you rarely worry about this problem, for ordinary people, theater chains are definitely the key point.The key points in ??.  Since you want to enter this industry now and want to make your own voice, I won't talk nonsense. You must get the theater chain.  Only with a theater chain can you have a say in this industry.  Otherwise, just like you are floating now, you can make a lot of money, but as long as there is a problem in any link, especially the theater chain, then you want to make more money, it is delusional.  "
