The plane drew a trajectory in the sky, and in the cabin of the plane flying from Beijing to Hong Kong, Shao Yifu was sitting in a joint seat with Kang Jianfei. The picture was as harmonious as two old friends were chatting.

Shaw Yifu said: "Shaw's four leading theaters in Hong Kong have a rent of at least 60 million yuan for five years. No matter how low the price is, there is no need to negotiate."

Kang Jianfei smiled pursed his lips and said, "Okay, this price is 120 million in 10 years."

The difference between 60 million yuan in 5 years and 120 million yuan in 10 years is very big. After all, the economy needs inflation to develop currency.

Regarding Kang Jianfei's trick, Shao Yifu just shook his head and smiled, saying: "10 years are too long, and no one can tell what will happen in the future. There are risks for you and me, and the maximum rental period is only 5 years."

Kang Jianfei said: "If I only rent it for 5 years, the 60 million yuan rent is too expensive. I can buy the land myself and open a new theater."

Shaw Yifu argued: "You may be able to open four large theaters with 60 million, but it is not easy to get a good location. Moreover, these four theaters have accumulated Shaw's reputation for decades, and many movie fans have the habit of watching movies there, and the newly opened theaters are far from comparable."

"The audience always watches movies, and they don't really care which theater the movie is shown in," Kang Jianfei took over Shao Yifu's scar without hesitation. "The attendance rate of Shaw Brothers Theater has not been high in the past two years, but DreamWorks has never lacked good movies. Moreover, Boss Shao, you pay such a high price, it seems that few people are willing to take over except me."

Of course, countless people want to take over such a good theater under Shaw Brothers, but those who want to take over have no money at all. Although Princess Jin and Jiahe are rich, the scale of these two theaters is already large enough, and it is not very useful to add theaters.

Now that Shaw Yifu wants to rent and transfer Shaw's theater, the biggest difficulty is here. That is, the price is too expensive: those who can afford money are not interested, and those who are interested cannot afford money.

There are many rich people in Hong Kong, but there are no rich people who can spend 100 million to develop theaters like Pan Disheng in parallel space. Even Pan Disheng at this time, his Debao Film Company was founded for several months, and he has not even filmed a movie yet. Is it useless to have theaters?

Shao Yifu is now facing such an embarrassing situation. He is unwilling to rent or transfer the theater at a low price. The price is too high and no one is willing to take over. If he keeps it, he will lose money every day if he doesn't sell it or rent it.

What's more, before the Sino-British negotiations end, the Hong Kong stock market cannot really get up. The rich all need cash to fill the holes. Who has the spare money to buy a theater to play?

On the plane from Beijing to Hong Kong, two foxes, one old and one young, were doing their best and started to bargain with each other.

Why did this scene happen?

The cultural circle visited Beijing group and stayed in Beijing for 3 days. Mr. Zhao Shaoang stayed in Beijing and had affairs. Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu returned on this plane.

As the owners of the only two TV stations in Hong Kong, the central leaders met with them alone, and this meeting lasted for 3 hours. Except for Shao Yifu and Kang Jianfei, no one knew what they had talked about that time, and few people even knew that Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu had been to the capital during that time.

After a secret meeting with the leaders, Shaw Yifu decided to stop Shaw's production business and rent or transfer its theaters.

Shao Yifu intends to go out to the theater. Kang Jianfei intends to take over again, so the two of them naturally "resolve their past grudges" and sit together to discuss business in a harmonious manner.

When the plane landed at the Hong Kong Airport, the two have reached a preliminary cooperation intention:

Kang Jianfei spent 70 million Hong Kong dollars. He rented the four leading theaters of Shaw for 8 years; at the same time, he invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy three medium-sized theaters of Shaw and the land together; finally bid 13 million Hong Kong dollars to buy three other small theaters and land in Shaw Yifu's hands.

That is to say, Kang Jianfei invested a total of 113 million yuan to buy 6 theaters in Shaw Brothers and rented 4 Shaw Brothers leading theaters for eight years.

Shao Yifu made concessions in terms of the lease period and rent of Longtou Theater, but Kang Jianfei had to pack up and take over the other theaters.

After that, the rest of Shao Yifu's hand was only a theater in a building. He planned to convert it into a shopping supermarket or rent it out to work as a writing room. He was not going to show movies anyway.

Judging from the current housing prices and land prices in Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei suffered a relatively disadvantage in this transaction, but if it were put into next year, Shao Yifu would probably not be so "selling low rents at a low price".

Kang Jianfei bought 6 theaters at one time and then rented 4 leading theaters, which means that Oriental Cinemas instantly added 10 theaters.

But with the current market potential and scale of Hong Kong, a theater chain has 25 theaters, which is basically the limit. If there are many theaters, internal friction will occur - competing for the audience with yourself.

Therefore, Kang Jianfei was planning to sell the three cinemas with the worst quality purchased from Shaw Brothers or just invest in real estate. In this way, the number of cinemas in Oriental Cinemas is exactly 24, of which Kang Jianfei owned 12, and 8 cinemas franchise. Finally, there were 4 leading theaters rented from Shaw Yifu.

In this way, Oriental Cinemas has become a well-deserved giant in the Hong Kong film industry. There are 8 large cinemas that can be used as leading theaters alone, and their money-making ability is far greater than that of Princess Jin and Jiahe.

Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu walked out of the airport with a smile and laughter, and then got on the bus. Because they did a good job of confidentiality, they did not attract too many people's ideas.

Fang Yihua, who came to pick up the plane in person, looked at Kang Jianfei's car behind and asked Shao Yifu: "Brother Six, why are you so happy about talking about just now?"

Shao Yifu said lightly: "I sold Shaw Cinema to him."

"What!" Fang Yihua was shocked and said, "No one can sell it to Kang Jianfei. This Scared boy is against us all day long. Isn't selling it to him to encourage his arrogance?"

"Who will take over the entire Shaw Brothers Cinema except him?" Shao Yifu asked slowly.

Fang Yihua stopped talking at once. If it were only the four leading theaters of Shaw Brothers, then both Princess Jin and Jiahe would be happy to buy them. But Shaw Yifu wanted to package the entire theater and sell them, and the most important four leading theaters were only rented but not sold. Apart from the sucker Kang Jianfei, no one would do such a stupid thing.

After a while, Shao Yifu said again: "In the future, the ratings of the TVB will still have to compete with Phoenix TV, but don't play tricks to avoid everyone getting angry. Kang Jianfei had promised just now that Phoenix TV would not deliberately shoot TV series similar to TVB because of catching ratings."

"I understand." Fang Yihua said with some depression.

In parallel time and space, the relationship between ATV and TVB is very strange at this time. The two TV stations competed very well to grab ratings, but the major shareholders of both sides were good friends in private and sometimes even had some small cooperation. When ATV was in a big fire, the TVB even borrowed an office for ATV employees to use, which ensured that ATV did not stop broadcasting.

Of course, Phoenix TVB and TVB will not get along so well, but after private communication between Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, at least everyone will not compete maliciously in order to defeat the other party in the future. Doing that is actually not good for anyone.

Just when Fang Yihua felt depressed, Zhao Yazhi, who came to pick him up, also asked Kang Jianfei curiously: "I saw you having a happy chat with Mr. Shao just now. Did I see my eyes blurry?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Just just started a business with him, everyone felt that they had made money, so they seemed to have a good chat."

"What business?" Zhao Yazhi asked.

Kang Jianfei looked at the traffic outside the window and said with a sigh: "After this summer, there will be no Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong."

"Shaw Brothers will stop production?" Zhao Yazhi exclaimed. For Hong Kong people who grew up watching Shaw Brothers movies, the news that Shaw Brothers' suspension is indeed shocking enough.

"Not only Shaw Brothers has stopped production, but even Shaw Brothers Cinema will be incorporated into Oriental Cinema." Kang Jianfei's mood was also very complicated. A huge Shaw Brothers entered his death, and he finally shoveled a handful of soil on his tomb, which was somewhat sad.

"You bought Shaw Brothers Cinema?" Zhao Yazhi was surprised by the news Kang Jianfei said.

Kang Jianfei nodded and admitted, continuing: "This time I went to Beijing, I went around the Beijing Film Studio and contacted the Chinese film cooperative company. The first part of "Shushan" will be filmed in the mainland next month. Although you are not the heroine, you have a strong role, so I am afraid that you will be banned by the Taiwan authorities for this."

"Anyway, I don't go to Taiwan much, so it doesn't matter whether I ban it or not." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile. She has been very idle in the past year, so she only made a TV series and a movie. At other times, she can do whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.

Kang Jianfei didn't say much. The most optimistic time of the first part of "Shushan" is probably going to take at least seven or eight months. For example, the scene of Jiuzhaigou is a little better, after all, there has been gradually being developed there, and not to mention the traffic difficulties in going to Zhangjiajie, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Sometimes it may take half a month to wait for a good shot, and many shots need to contact military helicopters to assist in shooting.

In addition to post-production, it will happen at least a year later when the first movie of "Shushan" is completed.

Zhao Yazhi quietly leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder and enjoyed a rare warm moment.

Zeng Bolin suddenly asked in a disgrace: "Boss, it's still one and a half hours before the premiere of "Love Saint". Should I go directly or first..."

"I'll go to Azhi's side first," Kang Jianfei quietly scratched Zhao Yazhi's palm and said to Zeng Bolin, "You get off the car in front and arrange it at the premiere."
