Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If there is no interest relationship, you will be cheating if you cheat people. Let alone novices like Li Mingbao, even veterans and merchants with hundreds of years of history can still cheat people when they should, but when they are outside,  They are still moral exemplars.  So when it comes to cheating people, there is no pressure at all for businessmen.  When it comes to cheating people, it doesn't matter about morality or immorality, but about profit or not. When the profit is enough, there is no problem in selling the country. Just like the group of American cowboys back then, they just wanted to sell the country because they didn't want to pay taxes to the UK.  After the establishment of the United States, as for slogans such as freedom, they were all for outsiders to see. Most of the things in reality were just naked interests.  Uncle Liu and the others want to cheat people, and Li Mingbao also wants to cheat people. After all, the profit from cheating is much higher than the normal profit.  There is more money to be made, why shouldn't they?  But the problem is that Uncle Liu's method is not suitable.  You must know that whether it is Liu Shu, Zou Wenhuai, or now Li Mingbao, the biggest source of profits in the Hong Kong film industry is Hong Kong and United Cinemas.  "This is the fundamental benefit. Everything else is trivial and irrelevant. Even the profits that seem to be huge now are still not a big business for the entire plan.  But what Uncle Liu and the others did was actually picking up small money and losing big money.  Of course, the reason why Uncle Liu and the others did this is not because their vision is not long-term. Although there are certain reasons for this, the most important thing is that this big money needs to be divided among everyone, while the small money is left behind.  In their own pockets, in this way, in terms of actual benefits, Uncle Liu and the others will earn more, so naturally they like small money.  And Uncle Liu and the others also believe that if there is a credit problem, the first one to solve it will not be them, but Li Mingbao. Who calls Li Mingbao the major shareholder?  So even if they have to pay a price, they may also pay a price for this matter, but it will always be Li Mingbao who pays more, not them. Small investment, big profit, no matter how you calculate the money, Liu Shu and the others are definitely clear.  "Uncle Six, I think no matter what, it is impossible to prevent those foreign businessmen from establishing or acquiring film companies in Hong Kong. I know what you are planning, but this is not feasible. If the whole of East Asia  Only we in Hong Kong can build a circulation port, so no matter what we do, those people can only watch because they have no choice. But Uncle Liu, you must understand that the gap between Hong Kong and other places is not too big.  It is not that simple to catch up. Hong Kong has not yet reached the level of dominance by one company. The current gap is actually just that Hong Kong films have a certain advantage in the early stage. But such an advantage will not matter to other countries and regions.  It¡¯s not impossible to catch up. This was before the emergence of distribution ports. Now that distribution ports have appeared, Uncle Liu, do you know what this means? It means that the development of the entire East Asian film market will be faster than before.  Many times, the advantages of Hong Kong films now may be equaled by films from other countries in less than two years. Under such circumstances, do you think those companies in other countries would have any idea if we were in Hong Kong now?  They made some wrong choices before the circulation port was completely entrenched. Do you think they would not start anew? This is simply a joke. Everyone knows the benefits of the circulation port. We in Hong Kong are actually walking on thin ice now.  Above, if we can maintain a fair situation and have a big advantage in the early stage, and then spend more than ten years to let everyone understand that Hong Kong is the most suitable port of circulation, then we in Hong Kong can be considered half-sleep-free.  , this situation can only be achieved if the mainland does not compete with Hong Kong for the lead. To be honest, the current circulation port is no longer of great significance to the growth of my net worth. I can definitely create one in the United States.  In the new situation, as long as I change my nationality, with my current capital, I will be the darling of the upper class in the United States. Coupled with some of my allies there, my foundation there will be exactly the same.  In Hong Kong, even the color of my skin cannot stop me. The ones who make the most money from the Hong Kong Distribution Project and United Cinemas are still Uncle Liu, but now you want to use some tricks to do this.  Who will do the greatest harm? Uncle Six, please think more about it. Anyway, even if the distribution port plan is completely finished, I still have another foundation, but I'm afraid Uncle Six and you will not be so smooth in the film industry.  In fact, I have never figured out one thing. Is there anything wrong with the smooth operation of Hong Kong? Is it appropriate to cause some minor accidents? " At this point, Li Mingbao didn't want to talk anymore.  Do you really think that you are made of mud?  Listening?When Li Mingbao said the first few words, Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai's faces were a little ugly. Li Mingbao said this, making it clear that he didn't want them to make money, and he didn't even want any benefits. Li Mingbao refused to give them.  In order to save their face, if Li Mingbao hadn't established his prestige in front of them before, then Uncle Six might have had to interrupt Li Mingbao and do his own thing.  But as Li Mingbao talked more and more, Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai¡¯s expressions began to change.  To be honest, Hong Kong's local movies are in quite a lot of troubles. Although they seem to be thriving now, as Li Mingbao said, the gap between Hong Kong movies and movies from other places is not so big that it is impossible to catch up.  degree.  As long as film companies from all over the world can make money, they will be able to quickly catch up with the progress of Hong Kong movies. And by that time, Hong Kong's only advantage of Hong Kong's distribution port will be quickly wiped out. By that time, everyone's movies  It¡¯s all about quality. To be honest, the film industry is similar to the technology industry. The winner takes all. As long as you fall behind, you will not only make less money, but also have fewer resources.  The most typical example is Shaw Brothers. In just a few years, such a large Shaw Brothers went from being profitable to continuing to bleed. If it hadn't been for the emergence of Li Mingbao, Shaw Brothers might not have been able to survive now, let alone sell it.  It¡¯s a big money, but it¡¯s not easy to sell it for a small profit.  Although we have temporarily got rid of this trouble, it does not mean that the problem has been completely solved. After all, the most important thing of a film company is movies. If the movies continue to not improve, then Shaw Brothers will have to die sooner or later.  It is because of this situation that Uncle Liu decided to sell Shaw Brothers, or sell part of it.  But when Uncle Six made this plan, he only thought about Shaw's own problems and did not consider other things.  Now that Li Mingbao had clarified the problem, Uncle Liu immediately understood that even if Shaw Brothers wanted to sell, it might not be that easy.  The reason why Shaw Brothers is so prosperous now is entirely because of the distribution port. If there is a problem with the distribution port, his Shaw Brothers will also have various problems.  Especially the issue of credibility, as long as it arises and others delay it for another year or two, then it will not be easy for Shaw Brothers to sell it out at a loss.  This is definitely not a fantasy, because the current market value of Shaw Brothers is too high. Even if someone wants to buy it, it cannot be done in three to five months. However, if there is an accident to the credibility of the circulation port, it will not take two or three years.  The collapse will cause a series of reactions. If the circulation port fails, the water of Shaw Brothers will be squeezed out quickly. And the Shaw Brothers that have squeezed out the water will not matter to the merchants outside.  It is a loss-making enterprise. Even if others want to get it, they will not give a high price. Therefore, although Uncle Liu's plan seems very fascinating, in fact, it will not work at all. Those things are completely in the water.  Flowers can be seen but not touched.  And Lei Juekun, who was originally in a more urgent mood than his sixth uncle, was breaking out in a cold sweat at this time.  Although his plan is similar to that of Uncle Liu, his plan relies more on the circulation port and the United Cinema Line. Only if these two things do not fail can his wish be realized. If these two things fail,  If he fell, then he would definitely be worse off than Uncle Liu when he fell. Originally he thought Li Mingbao was meddling in his own business, but now he felt that Li Mingbao could see more clearly than he did. Things that looked beautiful were actually  But it is not so easy to achieve.  As for Chow Wenhuai, he was also chilled by Li Mingbao¡¯s inference. Compared to Uncle Liu and Lei Juekun, his main business is movies, so the changes in the Hong Kong film market have the greatest impact on him.  If Hong Kong films lose their head start because of this proposal, not only will Hong Kong's distribution port be shut down, but Golden Harvest will also be greatly damaged. Especially Li Mingbao said that for foreign investors in the film industry, Hong Kong's advantages can be maintained at most.  In two years' time, this was really bad news for Zou Wenhuai.  Jiahe has to fight alone with other film companies, and the pressure is huge. Without a distribution port to support it, their way out will be quite difficult.  Uncle Liu and the others, who had their dreams shattered, all had wonderful expressions. After a while, Lei Juekun finally spoke: "Li Sheng still stands tall and sees far. If it weren't for Li Sheng's words, we would have  These people may still be immersed in glory. Li Sheng's words have completely woke us up. Hong Kong movies in the past may have been a one-man environment, but today's Hong Kong movies are more about relying on others.  As for Hong Kong and United Cinemas, if the Hong Kong plan is affected by our selfish interests, then our Hong Kong films will also have a very difficult time in East Asia. Coupled with the efforts of others, Hong Kong¡¯s future  The future of the film is not that wonderful. No matter what the interests are, I think the banner of Hong Kong must not fall. Not only is it not protecting, but it isThe behavior of bastards must be absolutely eliminated. Only if we maintain absolute fairness in the circulation port, will our Hong Kong movies have a way to survive. Otherwise, no one will watch Hong Kong movies in the future.  After all, our local film market is so big, and it is simply unrealistic to maintain such a huge film industry relying solely on Hong Kong¡¯s audiences.  "
