The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Although the cooperation between Black and White Video and Golden Harvest was carried out quietly, but two days after they signed the contract, Shao Yifu of Shaw Brothers had already got the news.

It can be seen that not only Golden Harvest has its own inside line in Shaw Brothers, but also Golden Harvest has Shaw Brothers inside line.

On the Qingshuiwan studio, in Shao Yifu's office, Shao Yifu sat there with a calm expression, as if he hadn't heard the news at all.

At this moment, Fang Yihua couldn't sit still anymore.

"Sixth brother, you have to make up your mind. Chu Huan obviously has the idea of ​​taking both sides. If Chu Huan continues to develop like this, it will take less than five years for black and white images to create their own black and white images. With the distribution network in other cities, and seeing Chu Huan's attention to black and white images, he will definitely build his own studio in the future, and by then, no one in Xiangjiang can stop Chu Huan!"

Shao Yifu sat there, and said slowly: "Is there anything you can think of that Zou Wenhuai can't think of?"

Fang Yihua said anxiously: "I don't care if Zou Wenhuai can think of it or not, but now I only know that Chu Huan's black and white images have already threatened the status of our Shaw Brothers!"

This is a very strange mentality. Before this, both Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua hoped that after uniting with Chu Huan, Jiahe would be brought down first.

But when Chu Huan's black and white images were about to reach this step, Fang Yihua found that she could no longer accept such a result.

Maybe they didn't expect that Chu Huan's black and white image would be so smooth in the process of bringing down Jiahe!

In their imagination, even if the black-and-white images brought down Jiahe, they would be self-destructive, but now!

The black-and-white image didn't suffer any loss during this process, and instead, it further expanded the scale of its own company.

This makes them a little difficult to accept.

"The current Chu Huan is no longer the former Chu Huan!" Shao Yifu said without beginning and end, then looked up at Fang Yihua, and asked: "Since you want to target Chu Huan, let me ask you, what do you want?" How to target Chu Huan?"

Fang Yihua said directly: "It's simple, stop their contract for the lease of the Clear Water Bay studio, as well as the distribution of their company's films in other cities!"

Shao Yifu tapped the desktop, and said calmly: "Now the black and white image has signed a lease agreement with Golden Harvest Film Studio, if we stop the lease agreement of the black and white image, will it affect the black and white image? Or are you going to compensate the black and white image? Image loss?"

Fang Yihua didn't know how to answer.

Shao Yifu continued: "You also said that you are going to terminate the company's contract to distribute black and white video films in other places. Do you know how much money the company has made by distributing black and white video films this year?"

"If it stops, who will bear the loss?"

Fang Yihua's face became even more gloomy, and she had no answer to such a question.

Now she is like a furious and incompetent person, full of 120% anger towards Chu Huan, but there is nothing she can do!

In the end, he could only look at Shao Yifu helplessly, and asked, "Is there nothing we can do?"

Shao Yifu chuckled, "Now the initiative is still in our hands, should we find a way, it's not impossible."

Fang Yihua immediately asked excitedly: "What way?"

Shao Yifu's eyes were a little deep, like an abyss that could not see the bottom: "Black and white images can continue to use the Clear Water Bay studio according to the contract, but our Shaw Brothers films also need to use the Clear Water Bay studio. It's what we say!"

Fang Yihua's eyes immediately glowed, and with Shao Yifu's simple reminder, she had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"I understand. We can put the black-and-white movie in first, and when they are halfway through the filming, we will suddenly tell them that our company also needs to use this venue, so the black-and-white movie will naturally be postponed."

"In this case, their movie is already halfway through shooting. If they switch to Golden Harvest's studio at this time, then the scene will not match."

Shao Yifu didn't comment on Fang Yihua's method, but continued to talk: "As for the issue of distribution outside the city, although the black and white video has its own staff responsible for statistics of box office overseas, it is only a rough calculation after all. The real box office revenue is still what we said. Calculated."

Fang Yihua couldn't help but sigh. She really is a treacherous and cunning man!

Why didn't I think of this way to make black and white images suffer dumb?

"Sixth brother, I understand!" Fang Yihua immediately said with a smile.

Shao Yifu nodded slightly, and continued to remind: "At the beginning, don't go too far, at least don't make the black and white images too offensive."

"Understood!" Fang Yihua was silent for a while, and asked tentatively: "Sixth brother, I actually have another way!"

Shao Yifu looked at Fang Yihua, showed an interested expression, and asked, "What way?"

Fang Yihua carefully said: "Zou Wenhuai must hate Chu Huan to death now. If we throw an olive branch to Jiahe to deal with the black and white images at this time, I think Zou Wenhuai will be very willing!"

Shao Yifu's face changed suddenly, and he said loudly: "I would rather let Chu Huan's black and white image replace Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe, and not cooperate with Jiahe!"

Fang Yihua's neck shrank, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Only Shaw Brothers and people in the film industry paid attention to the cooperation between black and white video and Golden Harvest. For ordinary Xiangjiang citizens, they didn't care about it.

Two months have passed. Although the stock market crash is still going on, ordinary Xiangjiang citizens have begun to accept all this in their hearts.

Since he didn't jump off the building, he must continue to live after all.

But some changes still exist. At this time, in the vegetable market, the teachers who buy vegetables are no longer so extravagant. They start to haggle over every detail with the vendors, and they have to count for a long time.

Ordinary migrant workers have become more diligent than before. The employment environment in Hong Kong is very bad now. If one of them doesn't work hard, he may lose his job, and the whole family will have no food to eat.

In the past, everyone would immediately check how Xiangjiang's stock market is doing today, but not anymore. They just occasionally read news about the stock market in the newspaper, and then sighed and continued with their work.

It was under such circumstances that the citizens of Xiangjiang suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some subtle changes in their lives.

Where they live and work, suddenly there is a convenience store decorated with clouds.

Yunhai Convenience Store!

In fact, in the past, Yunhai Convenience Store had already gained some fame in Xiangjiang, but at that time it was more concentrated among white-collar workers and some young people in Central.

In fact, convenience stores are small supermarkets, and the supermarket industry, even in Xiangjiang, only had the first self-selected supermarket in Xiangjiang in the 1970s - Wellcome Supermarket!

Wellcome Supermarket was originally a subsidiary of Milk Company, but with Hongkong Land's successful acquisition of Milk Company, Wellcome Supermarket now naturally belongs to Jardine!

By the early 1990s, the Wellcome supermarket chain had 167 stores in Xiangjiang.

In addition, Baijia Supermarket, another supermarket chain in Xiangjiang, was established this year, and the company behind them is Baijia, a subsidiary of Watsons under Hutchison!

Also in the 1990s, there were already 155 ParknShop supermarket chains in Xiangjiang, almost equal to Wellcome!

But the current Yunhai Convenience Store is fundamentally different from these two large supermarkets. Their space is much smaller. Each Yunhai Convenience Store is only about 700 square feet, and the goods are naturally not as large as the large supermarkets.

Therefore, Yunhai Convenience Store's competitors are not large supermarkets such as Wellcome and ParknShop, but the traditional stores in Xiangjiang.

In comparison with Shiduo Store, Yunhai Convenience Store is much taller, and at this time Yunhai Chain also put forward its own business slogan: convenient, fast, and clean!

For the messy store, Yunhai Convenience Store is very clean and hygienic, and the goods are placed very neatly. Customers can clearly know where the products they need are without having to search for them.

This model is highly respected by young people and white-collar workers.

Not only that, Yunhai Convenience Store also has advantages that Shiduodian does not have.

Most of the taxi shops in Xiangjiang are open until 90 o'clock in the evening, and then they will close for a rest.

But Xiangjiang is a city that never sleeps. Even in the middle of the night, there will be people living their own lives. Another advantage of Yunhai Convenience Store is that it is a 24-hour convenience store. People rest, the store does not rest!

At the same time, there are a variety of convenience foods for customers to choose from in the convenience store, such as quick-frozen steamed dumplings, steamed buns, siu mai, soup dumplings; pastries, bread, biscuits and other instant foods; milk, coffee, juice and other beverages.

There is a microwave oven in the store for customers to warm up food.

Such considerate service is very useful to those night shift drivers and white-collar workers in Central.

In addition to these fixed groups of people, there are other groups of people.

For example, people like Xiao Yun just finished work this evening, and when they got home, they immediately turned on the TV to watch Miss Xiangjiang's beauty pageant on TVB.

His favorite is Deborah in it, and every time he sees Deborah through the TV screen, he will feel impulsive.

After he watched Miss Xiangjiang's show, the little flame in his heart couldn't be restrained, and he immediately called his girlfriend.

Invite your partner over to your home, watch his cat do backflips, and get some exercise routine along the way!

The girlfriend also agreed to the other party's request very thoughtfully, and soon a couple of men and women were going to start playing poker.

"Bitch, bastard!"

"It's been used up long ago, let's be infantry today!" Xiao Yun said impatiently.

But the girlfriend quit, and made it clear that without a tummy, she was determined not to do it. After all, she was going to get married in a while, so she didn't want to lose her gun at this time!

Xiao Yun said helplessly: "It's about time, where do you want me to buy T-shirts? All stores are closed."

The girlfriend said: "When I just came here, I saw that the Yunhai Convenience Store downstairs was still open. There are some things to buy there. Go there!"

Xiao Yun showed a suspicious expression, but in the end he had no choice but to go downstairs to the Yunhai Convenience Store to try it out.

He remembered that some time ago, there was no Yunhai convenience store near his home, why is there now?

When he found the signboard of Yunhai Convenience Store, he remembered that he saw it was being renovated some time ago.

Before he had time to think about it, Xiao Yun rushed into the Yunhai Convenience Store immediately, and was attracted by the clean environment here, but Xiao Yun didn't think about it too much, the best way is to finish buying T-shirts early and go back to play poker.

Then he saw that Yunhai Convenience Store thoughtfully had a small shelf for T-shirts near the counter, on which there were various styles of T-shirts.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun directly took five boxes, and then saw various brands of cigarettes on the cigarette cabinet behind the salesperson.

Afterwards, a cigarette, quick piston fairy!

Then I bought another pack of cigarettes, and when I was about to leave, I realized that I didn't seem to have had dinner, and then I saw the quick-frozen dumplings on the shelf of the Yunhai convenience store, and I couldn't help but take two bags.

Everything is so natural.

After finishing the work, I returned to my residence, but my girlfriend complained together, "Why have you been here for so long!"

"It will take longer in a while!" Xiao Yun couldn't wait to prepare for the two of them to play poker!

In this way, Yunhai Convenience Store has entered the life of Xiangjiang people in a silent way.

At this time, at the headquarters of Yunhai Chain Store, Zhu Xiaozhao was reporting to Chu Huan the current situation of Yunhai Convenience Store.

"I got the 10 million cash that you put into the company's account, Brother Huan, and the company's remaining 1 million cash, a total of 11 million cash. The company used this fund to establish a total of 55 cloud seas in the past two months. Convenience stores, plus the previous ten, now the company has a total of 65 convenience stores.

When Chu Huan opened his first convenience store in Causeway Bay, he spent HK$700,000 just to buy properties. But today is different. Under the stock market crash, everyone is selling properties crazily, hoping to get cash to support themselves. After passing this level, land prices will naturally fall crazily.

In addition, the crazy expansion of Yunhai Chain this time is no longer limited to the bustling areas such as Causeway Bay and Central. There are also Yunhai Convenience Stores in other areas. On average, each store only costs 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. That's all, as for the rest, it is naturally a bank loan!

The monthly sales of each convenience store is about 90,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the profit after excluding all costs is about 10%, which means that the monthly profit of each convenience store is about 9,000 Hong Kong dollars. We now have The monthly profit of 65 convenience stores is about 585,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the annual profit is 7.02 million Hong Kong dollars! "

In the profit that Zhu Xiaozhao said, it actually offset the rent. All the properties of Yunhai Convenience Store were bought by Yunhai Chain Store.

Chu Huan is quite satisfied with the current profit. After all, it is only Xiangjiang in 1973, and the price of Xiangjiang is not that high. When the price of Xiangjiang rises in the future, the profit of convenience stores will be even greater.

"How's the staff?" Chu Huan asked out loud.

Zhu Xiaozhao said with a smile: "Fortunately, we spent nearly a year training talents, so the staff of the new convenience store did not have any problems."

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, but this opportunity is rare now, Xiangjiang's housing prices are still falling, and those large consortiums have not noticed this, so the company's future development route is to use the profits to continue to expand our business. The number of convenience stores and the most important thing is not to forget the training of personnel, every employee of Yunhai Convenience Store must be trained!"

Zhu Xiaozhao showed a look of surprise. In her opinion, 65 convenience stores are already a lot, but Chu Huan wants to expand.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaozhao asked in a low voice: "Brother Huan, how many companies are we going to expand to?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "In Xiangjiang, there must be at least 400!"

Zhu Xiaozhao was really shocked by Chu Huan this time. Based on the current profit calculation, if Yunhai Chain really expands to 400 stores, then the annual profit will be astonishing 432 million Hong Kong dollars!

"Will this be too exaggerated!" Zhu Xiaozhao couldn't help but said, and then he said with some worry: "And I'm worried that the purchasing power of the current population of Xiangjiang is simply not so much?"

At this time, the population of Xiangjiang as a whole was only about 4 million.

Chu Huan is not worried about this, the population of Xiangjiang will only increase, especially in this era, the population will increase by 1 million almost every ten years.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to expand so many convenience stores overnight. I'll give you three years. Within three years, I won't use a penny of the company's money. You can Use it all for expansion!"

Yunhai Chain is one of Chu Huan's trump cards. Its role is not only in retail, but also in the future. In fact, let alone the past three years, Chu Huan will not use the funds of Yunhai Chain. After two years, Chu Huan will not use the funds of Yunhai Chain, because at that time, the target of Yunhai Chain will no longer be limited to Xiangjiang, but the entire Southeast Asia, Taiwan Island, Japan, South Korea and other regions!

When Yunhai Convenience Store has seized the market in these places, Yunhai Convenience Store will face the challenge of 7-11, the overlord of the retail industry!

In Chu Huan's plan, Yunhai Convenience Store will become a large global chain of convenience stores in the future!

But this plan is still too far away, so now Chu Huan only told Zhu Xiaozhao about the Xiangjiang market.

Hearing that Chu Huan would not use the company's funds, Zhu Xiaozhao was relieved when the time came, so he also put forward his own opinions later.

"Brother Huan, three years is not enough. In the process of expansion, the company must not only train employees, but also establish its own warehousing, transportation and other related supporting facilities, so I hope that Huan Brother, you can give me five years.

Five years later, I will definitely hand over the 400 Cloud Sea chains to you completely and completely! "

Hearing Zhu Xiaozhao's words, Chu Huan fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaozhao lost his self-confidence just now, and once again regained his weak temperament in front of Chu Huan, "Brother Huan, is there something I said wrong?"

Chu Huan laughed, and said, "No, what you said is very good. I am very happy. To think of these things shows that you have grown up. This is very good!"

"So, brother Huan, do you agree with my idea?" Zhu Xiaozhao said with a little excitement. This was the first time she put forward her idea in front of Chu Huan, and she was very happy to get Chu Huan's approval.

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course I agree!"

"Thank you Brother Huan!" Zhu Xiaozhao said happily.

Chu Huan rubbed Zhu Xiaozhao's head habitually. Although Zhu Xiaozhao was a little shy about Chu Huan's intimate gesture, he enjoyed it very much.

"Why are you being so polite with me!"

"Understood!" Zhu Xiaozhao nodded.

Chu Huan withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "Brother Huan, tell me!"

"It's your personal business."

Before Chu Huan finished speaking, Zhu Xiaozhao hastened to preach: "Brother Huan, I already have a lot of labor, and I don't have anything to spend!"

Although Chu Huan enjoyed being an exploitative capitalist, and Zhu Xiaozhao didn't take the initiative to ask for a raise in his salary, Chu Huan couldn't really treat these things as invisible.

Zhu Xiaozhao is one of the people he trusts the most, and he doesn't want Zhu Xiaozhao to feel dissatisfied because of this kind of thing in the future.

Of course, Chu Huan would not do the kind of thing that the Holy Mother gave away shares for free.

"This matter is settled like this. The labor is increased by 50% on your original basis. If you can complete the number of convenience stores on time in the future, not only will the labor increase, but the company's profit dividend will also be distributed. Refuse, you also know that this is the treatment that the president of every company will have!"

Under the current operating environment of the company, Chu Huan will definitely give Zhu Xiaozhao the best remuneration, but it will definitely not exceed the highest level.

Many things have proved that no matter how much you trust a person, if there is no reward to give, it is very likely to bring a series of vicious reactions.

Seeing that Chu Huan had already made up his mind, Zhu Xiaozhao couldn't say anything more.

Now that the business is over, the next thing is some personal things.

Of course, it wasn't about love, Chu Huan just chatted with Zhu Xiaozhao about the past, and then got up and left Yunhai chain!

Chu Huan, who left the Yunhai chain, came to the brother audiovisual that Chen Haichao was in charge of!

Like Zhu Xiaozhao, after Chen Haichao received Chu Huan's funds, he also started his own expansion path. However, Brother Audiovisual, which has more liquidity, only chose to expand the same number of branches as Yunhai Chain. stopped.

He didn't spend all his money on the company's expansion.

After meeting Chu Huan, Chen Haichao expressed his thoughts without delay.

"Brother Huan, I want to set up a record company!"

Sitting there, Chu Huan didn't comment on Chen Haichao's idea, but just asked, "Tell me what you think."

"With more and more chain stores, we have become the audio-visual store chain with the most chains in Xiangjiang, which has actually mastered the distribution channels of record companies. With such convenient conditions, if we don't open a store that belongs to us own record company, I think it's a waste of resources!"

Chen Haichao preached calmly.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "But the record company is not very profitable? And if you start a record company, the record company in Xiangjiang will be hostile to you now, so even if Brothers Audio is the largest chain video store in Xiangjiang now, think To deal with the censure of those record companies, I am afraid it is not an easy thing to deal with, right?"

Seeing that Chu Huan didn't refuse immediately, Chen Haichao understood that Chu Huan actually had no objection to his idea, but he also needed to come up with a suitable reason.

"I've already thought about it. When the record company was established, it could completely put aside the relationship with Brother Audiovisual. Although this situation can't be hidden for a long time, what we need most now is time. As long as there is this time difference, Brother Audiovisual will be able to do so. Then we can continue to expand, and when we have an absolute monopoly in Xiangjiang's record sales field, those record companies will have nothing to fear!"

Having said that, Chen Haichao was silent for a while, and then continued to preach.

"I guess, according to Brother Huan's personality, you will definitely not only satisfy the Xiangjiang market, so in the future, Brother Audio will definitely develop towards Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other regions. Naturally, you will not make money simply by looking at the Xiangjiang record market. How much is it, but if it includes Taiwan Island, Southeast Asia and other places, it will be different.

Moreover, in this way, we can also interact with black and white images, after all, the stars in Xiangjiang are popular for multi-dwelling development! "

Chu Huan agreed with Chen Haichao's thoughts very much. In fact, what he said was what he thought before.

"Okay, since you already have an idea, I won't say anything, but most of the singers in Xiangjiang have signed contracts with major record companies. Store relationship, then you will lose the biggest trump card in attracting singers, and in this way, it is not an easy task for record companies to develop."

Chu Huan raised his concerns, and at the same time wanted to see how Chen Haichao was going to deal with it.

Chen Haichao was different from Zhu Xiaozhao. When he told Chu Huan about this matter, he must have had his own overall consideration, so when Chu Huan raised a question, Chen Haichao immediately had his own thoughts.

"Although there are no large-scale singing competitions in Xiangjiang, various types of small competitions are emerging in an endless stream. My idea is that when the record company was founded, it first focused on signing new singers. Although we don't want other records The company knows the relationship between our own record company and Brother Audiovisual, but in some respects we can still take care of the company's singers.

In addition, I also got some inspiration from the black and white video Hong Kong Emerging Directors Contest before. I want to cooperate with Hong Kong's Li's TV to hold a Hong Kong Rookie Singing Competition. In this way, we can find More singers are coming! "

Clever!

Chu Huan couldn't help praising Chen Haichao's idea in his heart.

Shaw Brothers also has its own record company, so cooperating with TVB may have greater influence, but the competition will be more intense. On the contrary, it is better to cooperate with Li's TV, which does not have its own record company.

And just like what Chen Haichao said, there is no real scale singing competition in Xiangjiang. The rookie singing competition that Chen Haichao is thinking of, once launched, will definitely cause a sensation in Xiangjiang.

Just like the election of Miss Xiangjiang launched by TVB.

"Okay, I don't have any opinions here, just do it according to your ideas!"

Since Chen Haichao already had a complete plan, Chu Huan naturally didn't say anything.

After confirming this matter, Chu Huan also told him about raising Chen Haichao's salary, and Chen Haichao readily accepted it!

After finishing all the arrangements, Chu Huan made another trip to New York in late May and signed contracts with the five major oil companies to order oil.

The two parties agreed to deliver the goods in mid-August. If the transaction cannot be completed in the middle, they will pay 5 times the liquidated damages. At the same time, Chu Huan also paid a 30% deposit in advance!

After doing all this, Chu Huan was ready to take a good rest for a while, but at this time, another unexpected news came to Chu Huan.

Also, at six o'clock in the afternoon~
