Chapter 358 Buying Dianmao

"My dear, is there something going on at home? Why did you go back so suddenly?" Linda saw Li Xiaolong striding out and hurriedly caught up with him and asked.

"Don't worry Linda, there is nothing going on at home, it's just that Mommy misses Guohao.

Also, a film and television company in Hong Kong invited me to make a movie and wanted me to play the leading role." Li Xiaolong said excitedly, hugging his wife.

Although Li Xiaolong's martial arts gym has been booming in recent years, to be honest, these are just fun, and his real career is filming.

However, as a yellow-skinned Chinese native, Li Xiaolong's development in Hollywood has not been smooth in recent years.

Li Xiaolong is now 28 years old, and he is considered an old man in the entertainment industry. In a few years, when his golden period is over, it will be even harder for him to become famous again.

In the past few years, he has been half-famous in Hollywood, so Li Xiaolong himself was very anxious, otherwise he would not have returned to Hong Kong in the 1970s to develop.

Today, someone finally came to him to shoot a movie. How could Li Xiaolong let go of this good opportunity?

"Really? What's the scale of their investment?" Linda is a fan of Li Xiaolong and is also very concerned about her husband's career.

Li Xiaolong shook his head and said he was not sure yet, but his mother introduced him to a film company that was very powerful.

Linda knew it was too early to ask these questions, so she didn't continue to ask questions and just went back to pack her things silently.

Li Wen, who returned to the company, has not been idle either. Recently, Daqin Film and Television is conducting a major operation.

"Manager Zou, how is the recent discussion with Cathay Pacific? Has the Lu family agreed?" Li Wen asked after taking a sip of tea in the office.

"Mr. Li, for you to ask me to talk about such a big matter is really a bit overwhelming. However, after more than two months of communication, the Lu family has obviously relented.

Mr. Li, is our appetite too big? The electric cat is not small. If we swallow it all, the 100 million in our hands is a bit too much." Zou Wenhuai said with a sad look on his face.

Li Wenwen's Dianmao was the only film and television company that could compete with or even suppress Shaw Brothers in the 1950s and 1960s.

Lu Yuantao, the owner of Dianmao, is the richest man in Singapore and Malaysia. He grew up with a golden key in his mouth. He inherited his father's assets before he graduated and owned 20 million silver dollars.

The Lu family has industries all over the country and is extremely well-funded. Lu Yuantao grew up drinking foreign ink and studied economics and management. As soon as he entered the film and television industry, he was defeated by Shaw Brothers.

But God did not go with people's wishes. In 1965, Lu Yuantao, his newlywed wife and a group of company executives attended a film and television event on Moon Island. When they returned, their plane exploded and the entire army was wiped out.

Without the boss and all the senior executives, the company went into chaos. Finally, Lu Yuantao's brother-in-law took over the operation.

However, his brother-in-law was obviously not as capable as Lu Yuantao. After taking over Dianmao, he immediately changed the name and changed the name of the more influential Dianmao to Cathay Institution.

In the past few years, Cathay Pacific has really been worse than its predecessor during the Chinese New Year, and it is not far from going bankrupt.

As the saying goes, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. Although Dianmao has declined, it has only been around for three years, and its foundation is still very strong.

In addition to having dozens or hundreds of celebrities and artists under his command, it also has a professional studio and more than a hundred high-end cinemas throughout Southeast Asia.

What Li Wen covets the most about Dianmao Company is the talents of Dianmao and the cinemas all over Nanyang.

There are many celebrities under Dianmao who are deeply loved by the people in Nanyang region, and some of them even have a certain influence on the Chouguo region.

Although Daqin Film and Television has only been established for less than half a year, although it has money and a system, it still has too few talents.

If we can recruit these star artists, even if Li Wen doesn't make Fist of Fury, he will definitely be able to support Daqin Film and Television.

After talking about talent, Dianmao’s theater chain is also very impressive.

As a wealthy man, Lu Yuantao suffered losses in the theater layout at the beginning. But as the richest man in Singapore and Malaysia, how could he, Lu Yuantao, stay under others for a long time and immediately spend a lot of money to build and buy theaters.

As of now, Dianmao has more than 130 theaters in total, covering Xiaori, Nanyang, Moon Island, and Xiangdao.

Moreover, most of these theaters are equipped with air conditioning, which is much more upscale than the old theaters of Shaw Brothers.

If Daqin Film and Television acquires these cinemas, Daqin Film and Television's original theater chains and cinemas, as well as the six or seven theaters recently acquired, will be added.

By then, Daqin Film and Television will have nearly ten movie theaters and more than 200 cinemas, and will become the largest film and television company in Hong Kong.

"What? How much money is left?" Li Wen looked at Zou Wenhuai, who looked miserable, and asked teasingly.

"The new head of the Lu family, Lu Rongzhang, directly asked for 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a large amount." Zou Wenhuai said with a wry smile.

"Old Zou, you really underestimated our Daqin Group! The Group can still get 300 million yuan.

In this case, you make an appointment with Lu Rongzhang, and I will discuss it with him in person." Li Wen waved his hand and said grandly.

"Can the group provide money? That would be great!" Zou Wenhuai immediately beamed after hearing this.

"Old Zou, what you think is so beautiful.

This is considered a loan lent by the group to your film and television company for five years! It will be fully replaced after five years, with interest calculated." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Forehead!"

Zou Wenhuai calculated that he would have to earn at least a small target every year to repay the funds after five years.

However, Zou Wenhuai did not bargain with Li Wen. He knew that this was a test from his boss.

Daqin Film and Television invested 500 million to 600 million and still failed to earn 500 million in five years, which proves that he is incompetent as a general manager.

Even if Li Wen wanted to keep him, Zou Wenhuai would not have the face to stay any longer.

"Okay! Then these 300 million belong to Daqin Film and Television Lending Corporation." Zou Wenhuai patted his chest and assured.

Li Wen didn't say anything. The road had been paved by himself. If Zou Wenhuai didn't do well, he would have no choice but to replace him.

In the next few days, in addition to preparing for the filming of Fist of Fury, Li Wen also took the time to meet with the current head of the Lu family.

Li Wen didn't like to drag his feet in negotiations, so he directly offered 260 million yuan.

Lu Rongzhang couldn't help but admire Li Wen when he saw that he was in charge of such a big business at such a young age, just like his late uncle.

However, in business discussions, Lu Rongzhang was not polite. Although he finally agreed to the price of 260 million, he also proposed to cooperate with Daqin Medical to open a hospital in Nanyang.

Li Wen has never been a solitary person in business, and he was also very happy that Daqin Medical entered the Nanyang market. The two hit it off immediately.

That day, Li Xiaolong had just taken the ferry back to Hong Kong with his family when he heard the news of Daqin Film and Television's acquisition of Cathay Pacific being broadcast on a distant radio station. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
