    The difficulty of setting rules in Hong Kong is much better than in Hollywood.  First of all, the people in this industry who can speak now are the few people sitting here. As long as they discuss it, the matter will basically be settled. If you win over a few people, Hong Kong will be as stable as Mount Tai.  So as long as all the people sitting here agree, there is no difficulty.  Now that Li Mingbao wants to set rules, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun will definitely not care about these issues.  After all, their strength cannot prevent this kind of thing. Instead of letting others disrupt the market, it is better to take the initiative themselves. The most troublesome thing is Uncle Liu. If Uncle Liu doesn't think what Li Mingbao said is correct, it will be a trouble.  So when Li Mingbao finished speaking, he looked at Uncle Six, hoping that Uncle Six could give an explanation.  Uncle Liu was also full of hesitation at this time. He knew very well what Li Mingbao meant. Uncle Liu himself didn't believe it if this industry had no connection with Taoism.  Since the establishment of movies in Hong Kong, this industry has been somewhat gray in nature.  Although people collecting protection money on the Shaw Brothers studio were not as rampant as they would be a few years later, that doesn't mean there weren't any. But Uncle Six didn't take these problems too seriously, so he just turned a blind eye.  After all, it was troublesome for Uncle Six to worry about those people.  But now Li Mingbao takes the initiative to ask some of those people to come in, which makes Uncle Liu not sure how to deal with it.  Although what Li Mingbao said makes sense, how can we ensure that the Xiang brothers will abide by the rules?  If you don't follow the rules, won't you invite a wolf into the house?  So after Liu Shu thought about it for a moment, he said to Li Mingbao: "I don't object to you bringing people in, but how can you guarantee that these people will follow the rules? In the past, they were just petty in this circle.  "But if you do this and bring them in, who will you call if there is a problem?" "I plan to bring in people from the Tao, but that doesn't mean they won't have problems."  This question is normal. Although the Xiang brothers were very disciplined when they entered the industry, it does not mean that they will be disciplined in the future. Regarding this point, I think the system is the most important. As long as we master it, it will be fine.  For example, the Xiang brothers were the first to be introduced, but this does not mean that the quota has always been controlled by the Xiang brothers. As long as there is such a rule, I think as long as they want to make money in this industry, even if they want to not abide by the rules,  We have to see if it is worth doing," Li Mingbao said calmly.  "What do you mean?" Uncle Liu asked.  "Uncle Liu, don't forget, we are always the ones who control the power of speech when it comes to theaters. Small shareholders do have a say, but their right to say is not strong. If they cause anger and resentment, we will take action at any time.  It is possible to kick them out and give this spot to others. They have worked hard to enter this industry to make money. If they are kicked out for not following the rules, their way of making money will be cut off.  Come on, they will definitely be able to control their own petty problems." Li Mingbao expressed his thoughts.  Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Uncle Six understood immediately: "You mean, we can give them a quota, but if they don't abide by the rules, then we can take back the quota at any time? It seems that we can do this.  . It means that this quota is not fixed, it is just a threshold for entry. If they violate the rules, they may lose this quota and bring in others to check and balance? " "Yes, this is what I plan to do in the film industry.  , there are always people in this circle. Instead of letting them wreak havoc on the outside, it is better to keep them within a certain range. Although we don't like them entering, we can't resist them, so we might as well let them go.  A quota, set rules, and then use the rules to control them. Whether they can keep the quota depends on them. If they make a mistake or something goes wrong, they will suffer heavy losses.  Who dares to break the rules? Even the Xiang brothers will definitely not have trouble with money. " "If that's the case, that's fine. But enforcing the rules is also a problem for us. After all, the Xiang brothers.  We are not vegetarians either. If we really break the rules, we will be in big trouble when the time comes to enforce them. Of course you are not afraid, Uncle Liu, but we have to think more about it. Even you, Li Mingbao, although your Li family also has some problems in this regard.  Our own manpower, but compared to them, your Li family is nothing," Lei Juekun said worriedly.  "Boss Lei, your worries are a bit unnecessary. If they really get to the point of being expelled, it proves that they have committed public outrage and are going against an industry. They are not just targeting us. Besides, Hong Kong  Apart from the Xiang brothers, it's not like there are no other people here. Anyway, this quota is open to people on the road.?We welcome anyone who has money and obeys the rules.  If the Xiang brothers withdraw, others will be happier. Under the premise of the interests of the film, others will definitely not mind settling this trouble.  Therefore, Boss Lei¡¯s worries are not valid at all.  "Li Mingbao explained with a smile. "But if the Xiang brothers make a lot of money in this, and provoke other people to enter the industry, but they don't have a quota, will they try to take advantage of us?  "Boss Lei also attaches great importance to problems on the road, so he has been thinking about the loopholes in Li Mingbao's words. It's not that he just wants to find fault with Li Mingbao, but he has figured out the problems now. If something goes wrong in the future  , there is a way to deal with it. After all, among these people, he is the weakest in terms of strength, especially now that Hong Kong movies have not yet fully recovered, and the theaters and film companies in his hands are far from enough.  Such a big price in the glory days. Money is a man's courage. If he had Liu Shu's net worth, he would be more generous than Liu Shu. Unfortunately, he doesn't have that kind of net worth, so he has more issues to consider. "No, our hospital.  If the line is established, only one activity seat will be set up, and this seat is prepared for people on the road.  Except for this seat, the other seats are fixed seats, that is, my seat, Uncle Liu's seat, Boss Zou's seat, and Boss Lei's seat.  These seats are all fixed.  Without special circumstances, these seats cannot be moved.  Unless you don't want to do it yourself, no one will be able to take advantage of us.  Even if you don't want to do it anymore and want to sell what you have, those of us sitting here will have the right of first refusal.  Only those of us who don¡¯t want to buy will consider people outside.  There is only one seat on the road, and no more such seats will be added in the future.  As long as we say this, no one will try to attack us.  They will only compete for that seat and control things within a certain range. This is the reason why we set up this seat. If it will really bring trouble to ourselves, then why should we set up such a seat?  .  To put it bluntly, this seat is a target. Throwing it out is to make people on the street look at this seat and reduce our own troubles, not to increase our own troubles.  " "According to what you mean, the only people who can enter the industry in the future are those who hold this seat. What about the other people?  "Zou Wenhuai also asked. "I didn't say that. Theater chains are theater chains, and film companies are film companies.  Just because someone is coming in to make money doesn¡¯t mean they necessarily need a theater chain.  People with theater connections are more confident, while people without theater connections are not so confident.  It's not that they can't make movies. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Boss Zou means this, then wouldn¡¯t you be the only ones in the Hong Kong film industry in the future?  This is definitely impossible. The theater chain is in our hands and we can set the rules.  But the issuance of film company licenses is not in our hands.  Who are we to set the rules?  They can let in as many people as they want. As long as they abide by the rules, we won't care.  It's just that the Xiang brothers have an advantage because they have seats in theaters, so when it comes to movie arrangements, they have a much better time than those without theaters.  It¡¯s not that having a theater chain means everything. Those rules don¡¯t belong to us.  Even this rule can be extended.  If overseas film producers want to establish themselves in Hong Kong, we can give them a seat.  Just set it up according to the seat on the road, there is only one seat, but this seat is fixed, and the fixed group of people is not a certain overseas company, but belongs to their common property. As for how they distribute it internally, we don't care.  In this way, their own people will fight, and our troubles will turn into their own internal conflicts.  "Li Mingbao said. "After Li Mingbao explained, he has solved most of the troubles from the outside world. If we really plan according to Li Mingbao's plan, whether it is troubles from overseas film producers or troubles on the road, in Li Mingbao's plan,  It will not become a trouble, but may become the driving force for the rise of Hong Kong movies. Of course, there is a premise, that is, Hong Kong's theaters must be integrated. Only in this way can Li Mingbao's vision be realized. But Li Mingbao cannot be integrated.  Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were still dissatisfied with Li Mingbao's plan before, but now they feel that things have become much simpler with Li Mingbao's plan. Without this plan, maybe they will  They would be caught off guard by these two external forces. But now, they are as stable as a mountain. So Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, who were reluctant to join forces before,At this time, he uncharacteristically agreed with Li Mingbao's decision.  According to the plan, Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and Golden Harvest Cinemas joined forces to establish a United Cinemas chain in Hong Kong, named United Cinemas.  After the establishment of this theater chain, Uncle Liu will occupy 10% of the shares of this theater chain, Jiahe and Princess Jin will occupy 40% of the shares of this theater chain, and each company will share 20% equally.  As the founder, Li Mingbao owns not only Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but also five independent cinemas, occupying 40% of the shares, becoming the major shareholder of the new cinema chain, and the remaining 10% of the shares.  , and distribute it to local and overseas film producers. Of course, this is only given after they pay.
