Chapter 274: Withdrawing from the Japanese Stock Market
The cinema managers don’t want to give up their rights, but the cinema owners want the investment share of Tomorrow’s Film Company. These owners are basically the owners of major film companies.
So soon, the theater alliance was formed.
Tomorrow Film Company kept its word and directly took out the scripts of "Moon" and "Source Code 2" to start the project.
"Moon" has few words and simple content, so only one movie could be made. Moreover, it is almost a one-man show, so the protagonist was decided to be He Jiajin, the producer was Xu Xiaoming, and the director was decided to be Xu Xiaoming's apprentice. Because the scenes were all built, the cost soared directly to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Source Code 2 was written by Liu Hongmin, and the story was set on a cruise ship. This arrangement was made to save filming costs. You should know that the cost of Source Code was as high as million Hong Kong dollars, and if the cutout machine is included, it would be more than million Hong Kong dollars. If it cannot get more than million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, it can only rely on foreign copyrights to make a profit.
Foreign copyrights have always been the profit point of Tomorrow Film Company. Once the foreign copyrights need to be recovered, it will affect the company's profits. Once the company's profits decrease, it will not be able to distribute dividends for several years.
Liu Hongmin doesn't need this little bit of dividend money, but the three giants don't. The three of them will make some investments, and there will be gains and losses in investments.
Wang Yaowei has the bonus from the toy factory to back him up, and Zou Shifang can make money by writing novels, but Xu Xiaoming has no other income and no vision for investment, so he loses some money every year. In addition, his children are all grown up, and they need money for school, dating, buying a house, and getting married, so he has almost used up all the dividends from the past few years.
Therefore, if there is no dividend next year, Xu Xiaoming may have to go to the bank to borrow money to live.
Even if the scene is set on the cruise ship, the filming cost of Source Code 2 is million Hong Kong dollars. With such a high investment, Tomorrow Films dare not eat alone before the cost of Source Code is recovered.
Once the film company loses money, it will have problems tomorrow. Therefore, it is imperative to find other film companies to cooperate with.
The matters of the theater chain alliance and raising investment were handed over to Wang Yaowei.
Liu Hongmin was writing the script at home. Even though he had received the money, the script was still not finished.
The script of "Source Code 2" is very easy to write. Basically, a routine can be written down, and you just need to make some changes.
Li Lizhen brought her parents and younger brothers over, and they loved little Liu Guoqiang very much, competing to coax him. In this way, Li Lizhen had some free time. She was a person who could not sit still, so she asked Gong Li to invite a group of female stars every day, either to have a pool party or a bonfire party at the beach.
She was so noisy with him every day that her younger brothers became distracted.
Liu Hongmin was also invited, but after watching the female stars flirting, he couldn't stay for long and retreated. At night, Liu Hongmin, who was furious, vented all his anger on Li Lizhen.
Li Lizhen didn't expect such an effect, so she went even further. In addition to the female stars, she also found a group of female models. These female models were not as reserved as the female stars, and they devoured Liu Hongmin alive. They had no chance to contact such a top rich man before. Even if they couldn't get promoted, they could still get benefits by just having sex with him.
Liu Hongmin felt very uncomfortable every day and could only relieve himself on Li Lizhen. Soon, the consequences came out. Li Lizhen was pregnant again.
This gave Liu Hongmin a headache. Giving birth to the baby would violate the policy, but he was reluctant not to give birth to the baby.
Li Lizhen naturally disagreed with the abortion. She was determined to keep the child. "I am a Hong Kong resident anyway, so the child can be directly registered in my household registration! Moreover, we got married in Hong Kong, so as long as the child is born in Hong Kong, it will be legal." Liu Hongmin had no choice but to make this decision. However, he was no longer suitable to be the representative of the name, so he asked Ma Weidu to help him resign from the position.
He planned to stay in Hong Kong for the next year. The appreciation of the Japanese yen had reached a critical period, and he had to keep an eye on it to avoid losses.
According to Zou Shifang's statistics, he has hundreds of billions of Japanese yen in the Japanese, which is nearly 1 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars. Liu Hongmin has received more than 100 million US dollars in royalties from the Japanese in recent years, which has increased seven or eight times after the appreciation of the stock market and the yen.
If Liu Hongmin didn't know how to do this and was afraid of being tricked by the capital, he would have invested all his money in the Japanese market. It was simply too profitable. It had only been four years, and the value had doubled every year. Was there any business in the world that was more profitable than this?
Unfortunately, Liu Hongmin was too timid and was ready to withdraw.
He vaguely remembered that the Japanese stock market would crash in 90, but he couldn't remember the exact time. So, to be on the safe side, Liu Hongmin decided to take the money out of the Japanese stock market before New Year's Day.
Zou Shifang was in charge of the trading company, doing just that. In order to avoid the attention of the big capital players, the trading company sold the shares in batches, and the operation was very slow.
Finally, on Christmas Eve, all the stocks were sold out.
Zou Shifang asked: "Hongmin, when will the Japanese yen be converted into US dollars? Putting it in the bank to earn interest is an investment with the lowest return rate."
Liu Hongmin shook his head. "Don't worry. I have already contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked them to give me a list. When the list arrives, you will go to the Japanese and buy factories according to the list. Then, you can invest in building factories in Dalian as a foreign investor and transfer the technology to China."
When Zou Shifang heard this, he immediately knew that Liu Hongmin was playing a big game. He had laid out the plan many years ago, and now it was finally time to finish it.
"Okay, I know what to do."
Liu Hongmin was worried that something might happen to Zou Shifang. "I will send someone to go with you. You just need to take charge of the situation and let them come forward to negotiate."
"Okay!" Zou Shifang nodded, knowing that Liu Hongmin was considering his safety.
After designing the little devil, the two opened a bottle of Maotai to celebrate. When they were happy, they sang and chatted until they were drunk, and then returned to the villa.
Liu Hongmin was lying on the bed when he felt someone trying to get into his arms. He thought it was Li Lizhen, so he hugged her gently and said, "Don't hurt the child."
He didn't think much about it, just hugged her and closed his eyes.
In the dream, he seemed to have relieved his anger by using it on Li Lizhen. When he woke up the next day, he found that Li Lizhen had woken up early.
