1426 [for the dead ghost]
Chen Yixin then followed Xia Tian's instructions and went to find Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia.
Both of them also knew about Zeng Zhiwei's failure this time and were about to watch the show. After listening to Xia Tian's plan, their eyes lit up. They knew that this was the time to beat the dog in the water, and they all became energetic.
"However, buying a theater requires money. Where can we buy it now?" Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia both cried and said poorly.
"How could you have no money? Brother Tian lent you a family of 700 million Hong Kong dollars (Jiahe) and 200 million Hong Kong dollars (Xinyi City). And you are all filming funds now, so you don't have to pay a penny by yourself. Then where did your money go?" Chen Yixin curled his lips when he saw them crying poorly.
"Oh, the company is big, everything costs money." Zou Wenhuai smiled awkwardly, "We spent a lot of money on buying theaters and digging for celebrities before. And we are still renovating the set of Axe Mountain Road, which also requires a lot of money."
"The same is true for our New Art City. Thousands of people stutter and eat, and they need money to sit and lie down. We are also preparing to introduce the most advanced shooting equipment in the United States recently, which also requires a lot of money." Mai Jia also quickly explained.
"Then what you mean is that you can't do this?" Chen Yixin asked coldly after hearing this.
"It's not that I can't do it, it's mainly because I don't have money." Zou Wenhuai said hurriedly.
"If Mr. Xia is willing to lend us some more money, then we will ensure that we can do things beautifully." Mai Jia also said hurriedly.
"You still have to borrow money?! You really treat Brother Tian as your money treasury. You can borrow money if you want to borrow money." Chen Yixin cursed unhappily when he heard this.
These two guys have borrowed money from summer to no interest, and have borrowed 900 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. Not to mention investing so much money, even if they throw it into the bank for interest, they will still cost 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars a year.
"Hey, don't say that, we have a mortgage." Zou Wenhuai said quickly, "Didn't we mortgage all the film library and actor contracts to you."
"Hmph, your mortgage is not worth so much money. It's not that good as Brother Tian, so it's cheaper for you." Chen Yixin sneered.
"Hey, don't say that, who made us allies the three of us allies? Allies should support each other and help each other. Are you right?" Zou Wenhuai smiled, but he was very annoyed.
Thinking back to the beginning, Chen Yixin was just a small lighting master apprentice. Not to mention challenging him, even if he kneels in front of him, he will not look at him directly.
Now that he and that little boy Xia Tian have good luck, he has suddenly become prosperous and has become more and more excited. He doesn’t even talk about his seniority. It’s so rude to himself, a senior in the film industry!
But although he hated him so much, he didn't dare to show it on his face. The reason is very simple. Times change, and Xia Tian, behind Chen Yixin, is really too strong now.
Xia Tian has now become the richest man in Hong Kong, and his conservative wealth is estimated to be 60 to 70 billion Hong Kong dollars. Jiahe's total assets are only about 11 to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. If he offended Xia Tian, he would be crushed to death in minutes. Not to mention anything else, as long as Xia Tian waved his hand, it would take less than a day for these stars under Jiahe to go to Xia Tian, and he couldn't stop him.
So even if he wanted to slap the table and turn against Chen Yixin, he still had to force himself to sit down, otherwise the company would be gone.
"Hmph!" Chen Yixin snorted unhappily. In fact, he didn't understand why Xia Tian had to accept the two of them as allies. With the current strength of Tianxia Pictures, he could dominate the Hong Kong film industry and make all film companies such as Jiahe, Xinyi City, Debao, and good friends unable to survive.
However, he didn't understand, but Xia Tian's instructions were strictly followed without any discount. Because he believed that Xia Tian would not be wrong.
"Okay, just like what you said, you have to mortgage the money. Then you have mortgaged the film library and actor contracts to Brother Tian. So what else do you have to mortgage now?" Chen Yixin asked then.
"I'll put my company's shares to Mr. Xia, is that okay?" Zou Wenhuai said alone.
"Company shares?!" Chen Yixin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
If Jiahe cannot pay back the money by then, wouldn’t it be swallowed up by Tianxia Pictures?! Oh, this is pretty good.
"Yes, our Jiahe is worth at least one billion Hong Kong dollars now. I bet 30% of the shares and borrow 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Is it okay?" Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "If I can't pay back the money within three years, then these 30% of the shares will belong to you Tianxia Pictures. What do you think?"
"Okay, then I'll go back and say to Brother Tian." Chen Yixin nodded when he heard this.
...
"Brother Tian, what do you think?" Chen Yixin then boarded the yacht and told Xia Tian about the matter.
After hearing this, Xia Tian smiled and shook his head, "Yi Xin, we won't accept this mortgage."
"Hey, why is this?!" Chen Yixin asked in confusion when he heard this, "Brother Tian, if Jiahe cannot pay back the debt, then its shares will become ours and will be swallowed up by us sooner or later."
"Hey, you overlooked one thing. Although Jiahe has assets of one billion Hong Kong dollars now, don't forget that it still owes us 700 million Hong Kong dollars. In other words, its liabilities are at least 700 million Hong Kong dollars, so its pure assets are at most 300 million Hong Kong dollars. 30% of the shares are worth 90 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is almost the same to borrow 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars, so how much is worth 200 million Hong Kong dollars?" Xia Tian smiled.
After hearing this, Chen Yixin suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, why did I forget this? Damn it, I almost fell for him. Fortunately, I came back to ask you."
"Okay, remember to be more careful when dealing with them in the future." Xia Tian instructed, "Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia are all figures who have worked hard in the Hong Kong film industry for many years. They can start from scratch and grow into the current film tycoon. How could they be ordinary people?"
"Well, I'm careless. These two tycoons want to cheat me, it's really damn!" Chen Yixin gritted his teeth, "Brother Tian, in my opinion, don't cooperate with them. Isn't it better for us to do it alone? With our strength, who are you afraid of in Hong Kong? Even the Governor of Hong Kong wants to give us face."
"If you don't say that, it's not good for your family to dominate." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Shut down the road to wealth is like killing parents. If we do things too dominate and throw all our opponents out of the way, then we will become the target of public criticism by thousands of people.
At that time, no matter how rich we are, we will be enemies all over the world. We will be struggling and we must be careful of cold guns and hidden arrows every minute. How can we make money?
If Jiahe and Xinyi City companies help us as targets, we can make a fortune in silence. Even if those companies have resentment, they will not be able to vent their anger. Do you understand?"
"Ah, I understand." After hearing this, Chen Yixin nodded with a smile, "Brother Tian, you spent some money to hire two scapegoats for yourself."
"That's it. Isn't it just right now? Jiahe and Xinyi City are going to fight for us and being scolded for us. We just want to make money by filming. How great is it!" Xia Tian smiled.
Chen Yixin blinked, thinking that this is really the case.
"Brother Tian, you are still smart. What should I do this time? Will we lend them money?" He asked for instructions again.
"Borrow it, why not? But if you borrow it, don't use the company's shares to mortgage it. Their actor contracts and movie libraries are now in our hands, and these are the most valuable ones. Without these two things, what is left of Jiahe? Is it useless to have a broken brand?" Xia Tian curled his lips, "Go and tell them that if you want to borrow money, mortgage your theaters to us. If you can't pay back the money in the future, then their theaters will belong to us."
"Brother Tian, our theater chain is pretty good. Is it useless to ask their theater chain?" Chen Yixin asked in confusion.
"Hey, even if we don't build theaters, we can do something else." Xia Tian smiled. "Those theaters are all on the street and are all in prime locations. In the future, they will be rented out in shopping malls. Just renting a shop is enough for us to earn."
In his previous life, Hong Kong's shop rents ranked among the top in the world.
"Ah, I understand."
