In the early morning of February 1st, Hong Kong time, the sun had already set in North America. Stanley Durwood walked out of the ward holding back his anger. When he arrived outside the hospital building, he was already standing on the ground and yelling curses.

He opened his mouth with a series of greetings starting with F, and cursed me for several minutes before he subsided.

After cursing, Stanley waved to the trembling secretary Ben Stone, "Pass the word, the 210 million U.S. dollars in the North American box office will be distributed to Zhao's Pictures in Hong Kong as soon as possible, and 40% will be given to

They transfer the money quickly."

Ben Stone nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, the boss finally gave in. Since The Ghost Story was released on October 31 last year, it has been more than 12 weeks now, and the long screening period has accumulated a huge box office.

This is another masterpiece that broke $200 million.

Along with the box office sales, all kinds of physical and business wars are taking turns. For example, today, the 19-year-old grandson of the big boss skipped classes in college and was walking on the road happily holding his girl in his arms to check out a house.

A dump truck once again passed by a few meters in front of him and flattened a car parked on the roadside, although the car was empty and no one was there.

But the big boss's grandson was also scratched and injured by some debris, and was even more severely frightened. He was hospitalized, and naturally gave up on the girl...

Ben wanted to complain in his heart, but if he had known this, why did he do it in the first place? After all, during various business wars, two of Ben's cars were blown up.

After thinking about it, Ben still persuaded, "Boss, think about the giants like Disney and Universal. Once the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, they often ask for 60% of the box office revenue... Zhao only asked for 40%, which is actually similar to Hollywood.

A weapon for great competition.”

Hollywood's account sharing model is mostly based on the signing of tiered agreements between several major groups and theater distributors such as AMC. For example, if a blockbuster movie breaks through 100 million U.S. dollars, the Hollywood majors will take 60% of the box office profit. If the box office exceeds 50 million U.S. dollars, the Hollywood majors will

Probably more than 50%.

If the box office is less than 20 million US dollars, the Hollywood majors will share 40%.

In this ladder model, if a blockbuster movie, such as The Last Day, which broke over 200 million in North America, would make an after-tax profit of 178 million U.S. dollars, most major Hollywood movies would take away more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

AMC is left with little heads.

Don't think it's an exaggeration. It's like copyright-crazy Disney. It's not uncommon for a blockbuster movie series to ask you for more than 60% in the Overlord contract.

Warner Group also distributed more than 50% of blockbusters such as John Wick and John Wick on its behalf.

When Zhao Donghuai first negotiated the contract, Zhao and AMC theaters cooperated. Before Monica became a shareholder, the box office profit was 60% for AMC and 40% for Zhao. After Monica invested and invested, the box office profit was split 50-50.

Now that the tax is paid and the North American box office is about US$210 million, he only needs to give Zhao Donghuai more than US$70 million!

After saying this, Stanley's face looked somewhat better, but he still complained, "Wang Defake, I also invited many people from the mafia to go to Hong Kong Island. I heard that it didn't bother anyone named Zhao, the local mafia.

It’s too unattractive!”

Ben Stone rolled his eyes wildly and explained again, "There are also peripherals. Zhao didn't make pottery machines or pottery souvenirs, but we made a lot of money..."

This is also true.

Stanley Derwood's expression improved a bit again, and then he said coldly, "Ben, are you saying too much to say good things to him?"

Ben instantly cried and said, "Boss, please do it. I came to work at AMC and was favored and respected by you. I am very touched. However, being imprisoned and being directly physically destroyed and evaporated are two different situations!

"

Stanley Durwood evaded taxes, stole box offices, laundered money, etc. He, the big secretary, knew a lot, but even if he was an accomplice, he would be jailed if he was investigated.

The private prison system in North America clearly explains that as long as you have money, jail can be treated as a vacation.

But all kinds of big explosions, dump trucks, sniper bullets and stray bullets flying in the dark, can this be the same as the pressure of being in jail?

Stanley, "..."

Ben said again, "There are also video tape profits, which will not be lower than the box office. Zhao has Marvel sinking into comic stores at retail terminals. Boss, if you cooperate with Zhao, comic stores and theaters will sell and rent together. In the long run, it will be huge profits!"

Stanley Durwood, "..."

……………………

In Zhao's Financial Building on Hong Kong Island, Azhen and Amin were still massaging Zhao Donghuai. The phone rang. After the third time, Director Zhao got up and answered it.

"If I share 40%, North America has more than 70 million US dollars? The money will be received within a week. Okay, Ben, help me tell Stanley not to be so stingy. If you become my partner, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."

"By the way, I will also use the funds as agreed to acquire 20% of AMC's shares. As long as he cooperates honestly and doesn't play tricks, I will definitely not wish his family prosperity. He is still the chairman of AMC. Ben,

I am also very optimistic about your future."

"Good job!"

As a lesson from heaven and earth, it has been more than three months since October 31st, and the business negotiations that lasted for twelve or three weeks have finally come to an end??

In the first wave of profits from speculating on the Japanese yen, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire 20% of AMC's shares, which can be regarded as opening up Zhao's film's release and distribution channels in Europe and the United States.

A great thing!

After making the call, he saw Azhen, who was dressed like a great artist, looking at him eagerly. Zhao Donghuai decided to give Azhen a little sweetness to try before the Spring Festival.

Who makes him so kind?

………………

February 2nd.

In Nanxiaonian, Zhao Donghuai received a report from Azhen as soon as he woke up. From the 52 Wanjia supermarkets in Hong Kong, 26 were selected to be on the fourth or fifth floor and built a half-floor new cinema. One of them has been renovated.

It's the AMC model, the six-screen theater model in later city and county-level supermarket buildings. It also introduced computerized vote counting. It's been so long since Wanjia launched it, and all Zhao's Octopus cards are connected to the Internet.

Any Hong Kong citizen who opens and tops up a card at Wanjia or Baijia can enjoy all Wanjia and Baijia purchases in Hong Kong.

This version of Octopus can also introduce a movie ticket sales system.

Zhao Donghuai happily entered the newly renovated cinema, intending to try out two movies.

After watching a movie, he smiled and said, "Amin, go contact Shao Daheng and see if his four leading theaters will sell. If they do, talk to your sister Min's Chinese Real Estate to negotiate a deal."

On December 5, we started to promote the renovation and renovation of new movie theaters. 26 of them will be working together. The first one will be completed on February 2, and then all of them will be completed one after another.

After the spring break of 1986, or after the Lantern Festival, all the movies in Zhao’s Cinema could be played in the sixth hall.

It’s time for the leading theaters of Shao Taiheng to withdraw from the stage. However, it is very important. The theaters in Yau Tsim Mong and even the core areas of Central are three-storey buildings. Buying the land and building a 30-storey building is a business of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The office center is here!

Zhao Donghuai does not have a real estate group under his name.

But the Chinese Real Estate Group that Zhou Huimin bought was a time-honored real estate group for decades. The Chinese Real Estate Group that Amin bought was a group that originally had a real market value of one billion. On the surface, the stock price was only 6 to 7 billion. She was not short of money and spent 500 million.

Multi-Cashflow took 53% and became the controlling shareholder.

After buying that, Amin still has more than 2 billion in cash flow.

Used to expand Huazhi, it could become a very turbulent new real estate force in 1986! What do you think of the future?

Regardless of whether it was Zhou Huimin, Guan Jiahui or He Qing, Monica, including Zhao Donghuai himself, still invested hundreds of millions or billions of Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market for long-term speculation on the appreciation of the Japanese currency.

This amount of money was a huge sum in 1987.

He has made a fortune with a large number of people in Hong Kong, and he simulates it once or twice a day on average. There is no reason why he should not play it.

………………

TVB TV City.

Sitting in the big office and hanging up the phone, Shao Yifu couldn't calm down for a long time. It wasn't until Fang Yihua knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that his expression was a little strange, he asked curiously, "Brother Six? What happened?"

Shao Yifu smiled and shook his head and sighed, "New theater chains named Zhao were built one after another. In 1986, they stopped renewing the lease with me. He also planned to buy the property rights of my four leading theaters."

Having said this, he took off his glasses and wiped them, "I agreed! The property rights are 20% cheaper than the current market price, and they promised me that they would allow me to invest another 200 million Hong Kong dollars and speculate in foreign exchange with him."

Fang Yihua was overjoyed, "This is a good thing!"

"It's a great thing. When he brought the employees of his group to speculate in Japanese yen, Brother Liu, although you invested 100 million with ten times the leverage, you made 30 million in just one month! Now he is chasing another 200 million, then in the future

I’m making more money.”

Shao Yifu gritted his teeth and cursed, "Pujie, I wanted to use 20 times leverage this time, but I was rejected! I was told by the other side that 10 times leverage, 20 times leverage, or even 50 times... these are not within the same company."

"The higher the leverage, the greater the energy required, the tighter the focus, and the risk of liquidation... Hey, if I had just gritted my teeth and started with 20 times leverage, I would have made 60 million in the previous month.

Got it!"

"What a big loss!"

Fang Yihua was speechless, but she also felt distressed inexplicably. Yes, everyone knows that high leverage is risky, but when it comes to dividing money, it still feels like losing tens of millions with 10 times leverage.

After taking a few deep breaths, Fang Yihua changed the subject and said, "By the way, Amei asked me for help. She said she hoped that Brother Six would help her. Her mother is a bad gambler. She usually likes to live a luxurious life and spend a lot of money.

, she accepts it as her daughter."

"The money she earns is given to her mother and brother to eat, drink or spend on luxury goods. It doesn't matter. It would be too unfair to throw it all to the casino..."

Shao Yifu glared, "Are you asking me for help? What can I do? I'm not a god either."

Fang Yihua sighed, "Didn't I hear that Zhao Sheng's new Asian opera also has a little girl whose mother is a bad gambler? As soon as that person said something, no one in the underground casinos in Hong Kong would take her in to gamble anymore."

"I guess Amei heard about this..."

Shao Daheng has a toothache. Damn it, he is not Zhao Donghuai's crazy guy. He has hundreds of Pan-Asian backbones and four-digit temporary workers under his banner!

It’s even worse now. Many people in the police force, either with family members, relatives, or with friends, hand over money to Zhao Financial Group to make money by speculating in foreign exchange. Shao Yifu earned 30 million from 100 million in just a month.

.

This is still only ten times leverage.
