Chapter 380 A big game of chess

"Since Mr. Huo said so, I will send Mr. Huo a great fortune!"

Seeing Huo Zhenting's risk-taking look, Fang Xiang didn't want to be polite either.

Now it can be said that everything is ready, except for the east wind.

If only CITIC, China Merchants Group and the Huo family could stand firm and support themselves.

Then this trip to Hong Kong Island might be even more rewarding than he had imagined!

"Mr. Fang, can you reveal some information?"

Huo Zhenting was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately stood up and looked around to confirm that there was no one in the office and the door was closed.

He immediately walked to the desk, pulled over a chair, and sat opposite Fang Xiang.

"Does Mr. Huo know anything about the film and television industry?"

Fang Xiang pondered for a moment, his eyes turned, and he immediately came up with an idea in his mind.

Of course, compared to the big head in Fang Xiang’s plan, it is definitely not something that can be talked about, but the film and television industry can be brought up for discussion.

As we all know, the 8s and 90s were the golden age of Hong Kong films. Basically, as long as you invested money to make a movie, you could just wait to make money.

But what about Hong Kong's film industry? It's still quite exclusive. The details of Fang Xiang and Great Wall Industrial are not known to the middle and lower classes of Hong Kong Island. In the eyes of the middle and upper classes and the top people, they are no different from the open cards.

Therefore, if Fang plans to get involved in the Hong Kong film industry, let alone how much money he can make, there is a high probability that he won't even be able to get in the door.

Therefore, it would definitely be much easier if the Huo family and the Bao family were leading the charge.

Moreover, it might even attract attention and cover up what Fang Xiang really wants to do.

After all, Hong Kong's film industry was brilliant, and it was indeed brilliant, influencing a whole generation of people in East and Southeast Asia.

But how much profit do you want to make?

Haha, Fang Xiang really didn’t take it seriously.

What?You do not believe?

Come on, let me show you the box office numbers from 86.

First place: A Better Tomorrow, with a box office of 3465 million yuan.

Second place, The Millionaire's Train, with a box office of 2812 million.

Third place, "The Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Policewoman", with a box office of 2701w.

Fourth place, The Lucky Stars, with a box office of 2311w.

Fifth place, Detective Chocolate, with a box office of 2248 million.

I won’t list the rest, the top five combined box office revenue is just over 1.3e, which means the entire plate has an output value of around 3e.

This is just the box office, can we really calculate the profit?

It would be better for Fang to sell tens of thousands more cars. You know, now, not counting BMW, the average profit of GAC models alone is almost close to one thousand dollars per car.

If 10,000 cars are produced and shipped to North America, that would be a profit of nearly 10 million US dollars. Isn't that more than what you make from making a movie?

So, why does Fang want to start from this aspect?

Isn’t it because of its great influence and easy to attract attention?

If we spend a few hundred million to acquire Sun Yat-sen or Shaw Group, the entire Hong Kong Island will focus its attention here.

The probability of that party launching a surprise attack from behind being successful is infinitely high.

As for whether Cinema City can be acquired, Fang Xiang doesn’t care. Even if it can’t be acquired, it can divert attention and make Fang Xiang’s plan succeed, which is a great achievement.

If I really acquire it, I'll just treat it as a hobby.

By the way, sign some well-known actors and pick up a few movie scripts that later became hits, just for nostalgia.

Then he sought to acquire TVB, ATV and Cable TV to obtain the media rights in Hong Kong Island.

Wouldn’t it be the case that from now on, public opinion in Hong Kong will be decided by the mainland?

As we all know, the power of dominating public opinion is...

Tsk tsk tsk...

You know, these companies seem to be in great shape now, but in fact, their valuations are pitifully low. If you acquire all of them, the estimated value would be around 1 billion yuan.

Even if they don't sell, Fang Xiang can still pay double the price and kill them with his money.

Spending one or two billion to buy it now is just a drop in the bucket for Great Wall Industrial, which has tens of billions of cash in hand.

But the value that the media industry can generate in the future is beyond the reach of tens of billions. This is just the apparent profit, and the influence that cannot be measured in money is even greater!

After all, John Bull didn't say that Great Wall Industrial would be restricted from getting involved in the film and television and media industries, right?

But Fang Xiang’s real purpose is actually the communications industry.

Yes, Fang Xiang had noticed before that Huo Zhenting had a mobile phone, the first generation one.

At that time, Fang thought it was nothing but contempt, no interest, and too lazy to do it.

But things are different now. Although the communications industry has almost no profit in the short term and the scale is not large, a large amount of funds are needed to invest in infrastructure in the early stages.

Just like when the country invested a lot of money in 5G, it is a project with large investment, slow results and long returns.

But isn’t this also a new monopoly track?

Compared to the Hong Kong film and television industry, which was a short-lived industry that only flourished for a dozen or twenty years.

The communications industry can produce countless billionaires.

Now that we have just entered the 85th year, no one knows the future direction of the communications industry and how big its market will be, but Fang really wants to know!

Moreover, Alcatel and Nokia are just children compared with Great Wall Industrial.

Especially Nokia, which will soon become BMW's current partner, developed the in-car 82G phone in 1.

Fang Xiang has already decided that the next generation of BMW he is designing will be equipped with an in-car phone in the 7 Series, and the negotiation team has already set off to Finland for negotiations.

Once the cooperation is successful, Fang Xiang plans to purchase Nokia's shares in the name of Great Wall Industrial.

There is also Alcatel, the future European communications giant with a very wide range of business covering no less than Nokia. Now is also a good opportunity to invest in it.

If Fang is interested, Cisco and Vodafone have only been established not long ago.

With a huge amount of cash in hand, Great Wall Industrial would not ask for much to be an angel investor, just 30% of the shares. Even if it does not increase investment in all future financing, just holding the shares will be enough for it to live on for decades to come.

Moreover, in the future, Hong Kong Island can be used as a springboard to enter the mainland and contribute to the domestic communications industry.

Apart from anything else, at least it will help us avoid taking twenty years of detours, which is not a problem.

But Fang Xiang didn't tell anyone about this matter, not even CITIC and China Merchants Group knew about it.

So naturally, he would not tell Huo Zhenting.

Fang Xiang still understood the principle of repairing the plank road in public and secretly crossing Chencang.

"Film and television industry? Making movies? Mr. Fang is interested in this?"

Sure enough, Huo Zhenting's thoughts were immediately led astray by Fang Xiang.

“It’s like this, I’ve been obsessed with Hong Kong movies lately, I really enjoy watching them.

Mr. Huo is also aware that Great Wall Industrial has been sanctioned, but such a large sum of money has to go somewhere.

So I plan to invest in the film and television industry for fun, what do you think, Mr. Huo?"

Fang Xiang looked at Huo Zhenting with a smile.

“This… the film and television industry looks good, but the actual profit is not that big.

If Mr. Fang just likes it, there is naturally no problem in buying a few companies for fun.

But if you want to make a lot of money... "

Huo Zhenting hesitated for a moment.

Others may not be aware of Hong Kong's film and television industry, but as a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong, how could the Fok family not be aware of it?

As I just said, Hong Kong's film and television industry seems to be very prosperous, and celebrities are very popular, with crowds following them wherever they go.

But in the eyes of the real wealthy people in Hong Kong, they are no different from low-class actors!

What?You do not believe?

Just ask Liu how he stuffed golf balls into Aunt Thirteen, and you’ll know.

Therefore, Huo Zhenting's current expression was not at all unexpected to Fang Xiang.

“Yes, I am optimistic about the film and television industry and it has a bright future.

How about it, would you like to consider it?"

Fang Xiang still said with a smile.

If a minister is not discreet, he will lose his body; if a king is not discreet, he will lose his country. How could Fang possibly tell Huo Zhenting about his big plan?

What neither CITIC nor China Merchants Group knows, Huo Zhenting has no right to know.

The only people who understood Fang's overall situation were a few people in the National Council.

"Then there's no need for that. The Huo family's focus is still on cars.

However, if Mr. Fang wants to have some fun, the Huo family can still provide a lot of help.

If you need anything, please feel free to ask, Mr. Fang."

Look, just now he was talking about going through fire and water, sacrificing his life, and doing whatever it takes.

Now that they see there is no profit, they immediately become turtles.

After all, businessmen are businessmen, right?
