"Xia Sheng, I will go back to discuss with my master, at most tomorrow, I will definitely give you a clear answer."
Wu Siyuan squeezed out a smile and promised.
"I look forward to your reply!"
Xia Yu was not annoyed because he didn't get the result he wanted, but shook hands with Wu Siyuan gently.
"Then Xia Sheng, I will leave first, I won't disturb you!"
"Go slow!"
...
Seeing Wu Siyuan leaving with great heart, Xia Yu smiled, not too worried.
"Boss, I don't think Wu Siyuan has much resistance. He really respects his master Yuan Heping. As long as he talks to Yuan Heping, Yuan Heping should agree."
Jiang Zhiqiang seemed to be worried about Xia Yu's unhappiness, so he thought about it and said.
"I just admire him, and it doesn't matter if I don't agree. With the theater, everything else is minor problems, and there are other alternatives."
Xia Yuman said nonchalantly.
After talking for more than ten minutes, although Wu Siyuan stated that he agreed to Xia Yu's acquisition, he also said that the company has another shareholder, his master Yuan Heping, so he is not alone in making the decision.
So after going back to discuss with Yuan Heping, give Xia Yu another answer.
According to Xia Yu's investigation, Yuan Heping is indeed a shareholder of Siyuan Pictures, and Wu Siyuan should not just make excuses.
Anyway, Wu Siyuan promised to give a reply tomorrow, so it's a big deal to wait another day!
...
After Wu Siyuan left Jiuding Building, he kept contacting his master Yuan Heping non-stop.
Until Yuan Heping came to Siyuan Pictures' office, Wu Siyuan's guilty conscience had not calmed down.
Without him, just because Xia Yu's strong entry into the film industry gave him too much shock! It can be said to be the most important event in the Hong Kong film industry!
"Ayuan, what's the matter with you, why are you looking upset? Our "Drunken Fist" is going well in theaters!"
Yuan Heping is 33 years old this year. Although he is not very old, he has been in the industry since he was a teenager. He is experienced enough to be Wu Siyuan’s teacher. He knows the roots of Wu Siyuan. When he saw him at this time, he immediately noticed something was wrong, and sat down with concern. Asked.
Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, it's not the "Drunken Master" issue, it's the big event in the Hong Kong film industry, which happens to have something to do with us.
Yuan Heping raised an eagle eyebrow and asked curiously: "What is the specific situation?"
"That's it. Three days ago, I was in the Taiping Theater to find out about the movie. I happened to meet the stock **** Xia Yu. Then I was fortunate enough to exchange business cards with him. Who knew that I received the invitation of the stock **** Xia Yu yesterday, and then in the morning I I went to him, but I didn’t expect to meet Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Cinemas, and learned that Anle Cinemas was actually acquired by Gushen, and that Gushen wanted to enter the film industry. Then he wanted to buy our company."
Wu Siyuan said with a wry smile, not knowing whether to be lucky or to cry.
In order to meet Xia Yu, I could catch Xia Yu's line, but I didn't expect it to happen.
It's just that this line is a bit too tight, and he wanted to tie him up directly, which caught Wu Siyuan off guard.
Yuan Heping furrowed his brows in silence, apparently also startled by the news of his apprentice Wu Siyuan.
"Ayuan, can you be sure whether Xia Yu's determination to come in is strong or not?"
For a long time, Yuan Heping asked a question of concern.
Wu Siyuan nodded heavily and said in a low voice: "Very determined!"
"He also revealed to me that the newly established global cinema chain will receive the full support of Jiuding Bank. To build the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, he does not seem to be telling lies, and there is no need to lie to me."
Yuan Heping nodded slightly, thinking for less than ten seconds, and said: "Then sell it. The situation is uncontrollable. It is the best choice to take refuge in Xia Yu."
Seeing that the teacher agreed, Wu Siyuan nodded, sighed, and approved Yuan Heping's statement.
No matter how good they make a movie, if there is no cinema screen in the end, the money will be lost in the end.
According to Xia Yu's attitude today, Global Cinemas has acquired Anle Cinemas. The goal is to build the largest cinemas in Hong Kong. There is no doubt that it will focus on independent cinemas.
There are only 25 independent movie theaters large and small. To meet the goals of the global cinema chain, they will definitely be swallowed up.
At that time, there will be very few independent cinemas in Xiangjiang, leaving behind the Global Cinemas, Shaw Cinemas, Jiahe Cinemas, Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas.
Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Cinemas are basically their own homes, and Lisheng also has a few, mainly showing Jiahe movies. As for the Shuangnan Cinemas, they dare not take their films for the Taiwanese market.
So I can only get it to the Universal Theater.
But if you refuse Xia Yu, don't say he is embarrassed to come back, even if you ask for it, you may not get the movie to be released.
In that case, it is better to bow to the situation and throw under Xia Yu, and they will have a big backing.
What's more, Xia Yu also expressed his opinion to him, only purchasing 90% of his company's shares, leaving 10% for them, and this time "Drunken Master" will not take advantage of them.
In this way, they are also considered as minority shareholders. If they catch Xia Yu's line, they will not make less money than they are now, and the future will be brighter!
"Then Master, I promised him."
Wu Siyuan let out a sigh of relief and said.
"Yeah! Promise him!"
Yuan Heping nodded and said.
...
The next day, Wu Siyuan gave Xia Yu a reply. Xia Yu immediately arranged a contract. Soon Wu Siyuan, Yuan Heping and Xia Yu signed the agreement in the office.
Because it is a film company, the actual assets are nothing except some equipment, old film copyrights, employees, and contacts. In addition, the previous revenue was also very low.
So after excluding "Drunken Fist", Siyuan Films made a price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu spent 19 million to take a 95% stake in Siyuan Films.
Among them, 9 million is the cost of purchasing the equity in the hands of Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, and the money is divided equally between Wu Siyuan and Yuan He.
The additional 10 million yuan belonged to Xia Yu’s capital injection into the company. Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping did not follow up, so their 10% equity was diluted and only 5% remained. Although the equity was less, But the equity value remains unchanged.
In addition, the company has two shareholders, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, each holding 2.5% of the equity.
As for how the equity will change in the future, it depends on whether Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping will follow up the capital injection in the future.
After signing the contract, Xia Yu, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping briefly talked about some things of interest, and soon the topic turned to the company's future development.
"Siyuan, the company has changed its name to Galaxy Film Company. You are responsible for the name change. You don't need to make a big fuss. Before the theater is completed, keep it as confidential as possible to avoid trouble."
"After the name is changed, recruit people as soon as possible, especially those behind the scenes. The long-term scale should be expanded to ten times. The company must ensure that the company's independent annual output of films reaches ten, and the film production has a screenwriting system. How to do it? If you don't understand, go to Universal The TV station asked Huang Xizhao."
"There is also an employee brokerage contract. I will ask Shufen Chen from Global Brokerage to contact you to do this."
"Okay! I'll do it right away when I go back!"
Wu Siyuan immediately nodded to ensure.
After talked about some details again, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping got up and left.
When they left, Xia Yu showed a relaxed smile.
The layout of the film industry is complete, and it only takes time to wait.
In fact, for the film company, Xia Yu also wanted to name Universal Studios, but this name already exists, and he is still a Hollywood giant.
There is no way but to take the name of Galaxy Film Company. As for the name of Universal, I will see if there is a chance to acquire Universal Pictures in the future.
In fact, it is not without benefits to take Galaxy Films.
One is that the current relationship with Xia Yu will not be exposed, and it will not arouse the vigilance of Shao and Jiahe.
Another benefit is long-term.
In the United States, movie companies are not allowed to own theater chains, or they will be considered a monopoly. Movie companies and theater companies have different names, and they are justified in face.
