Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 144
It took three full days for sister army to wake up. She was shot in the lungs, and she could not speak for the time being.
When sister Army saw Luo Junyan who was guarding the bed, big tears fell from the corner of her eyes, but her expression was extremely dull.
Luo Junyan was quite haggard, and he hadn’t closed his eyes much in the past three days. At this moment, he was holding sister army’s cold jade hand, watching sister army’s bloodless face, his heart twisted like a knife, inexplicable grief and anger.
Sister Zhi and Sister Xin, who were close to the family, died in front of Sister Army and sacrificed for her. This cruel reality must have a tremendous mental stimulation to Sister Army. But Luo Junyan can’t do much, so she can only stay with her two daughters, hoping that time can heal the psychological trauma of sister army.
At the request of Zhao Yongren and others, no funerals were held for Li Jiazhi and Zhou Shuxin, but after a simple cremation, Zhao Yongren took the ashes back to Xiangjiang.
Qian Shouyi stayed in South Korea to secretly investigate whether there was a black hand behind the incident, while Sun Lihui personally protected the army sister and the child. The five guards have a very indifferent view of life and death, but Luo Junyan can feel that the three of Zhao Yongren are more indifferent to everything around them. The so-called sadness is nothing more than death. Indifference means no nostalgia.
After dealing with the funeral of Sister Zhi and Sister Xin, Luo Junyan’s mood was very depressed, and his temperament became quite gloomy and unpredictable. Before he knew it, Luo Junyan didn’t notice the change in his consciousness. An extremely paranoid thought was rooted in his heart.
It is difficult for him to contemplate the world with good intentions anymore, and his subconsciousness began to gradually recognize the kingly rule of either surrender or destruction, and he began to uphold the attitude of being willing to enmity, killing and decisive in the world.
Huang Jiadong will soon become his first target, and then it may be the turn of Mr. Xu Jinheng. The enemy lives at ease, but the relatives around him suffer from time to time. Luo Junyan can’t persuade himself to live so wretchedly.
Where does the so-called evil barrier come from? It’s just born with a single thought, born with attachment.
As sister army’s situation stabilized, Luo Junyan traveled to the United States from a chartered flight from South Korea to accompany sister army and two daughters to the United States for review and continued rehabilitation.
Luo Meizi and his wife returned to Xiangjiang to look after the company, and Bian Shaojie was still young and needed Luo Meizi to take care of her. All the affairs of Snow Country Entertainment Investment (Korea) Co., Ltd. were handed over to Brother Cheng, and none of the auctioned assets were purchased. All personnel need to ask Brother Cheng to bring him back to Xiangjiang and place them under the banner of Snowman Times Media for the time being.
Both South Korea and European and American countries chose to deal with this shooting in a low-key manner and strictly control the spread of public opinion. There is no news about this vicious incident in the media.
Even in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no one knows that the army sister almost died of South Korea, otherwise they don’t know how many rumors will appear. In that case, it is estimated that many more people will be added to Luo Junyan’s blacklist. He will not show mercy to anyone on the blacklist now, even if you come out to make fun of it only for the purpose of gloating.
In the United States, it was a medical expert introduced by Bian Sicong’s father, including psychotherapy experts.
The result of the injury review is very optimistic. The army sister can fully recover, and there should be no sequelae. But in terms of psychological trauma, sister army may take a long time to return to a normal life. Now sister army is very depressed, she always sheds tears silently if she doesn’t talk, and is extremely nervous.
Luo Junyan transferred her two daughters to study in the United States. Only when Luo Junyan and her daughter are with her, the emotions of sister army will be more stable.
At the same time, Luo Junyan has decided to sort through the subsidiaries of Xiangjiang and South Korea. He needs to clean up all the business that he controls, and then stay with sister army on “Qinghuan Island” for a period of time until her mental state returns to normal.
When Luo Junyan returned to Xiangjiang, it was already early July of 1999.
At this time, the situation in the Xiangjiang film market was even worse. Except for the two films in the Spring Festival file, only one “Prince Dark Horse” produced by Yongsheng sold 15.3 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and there was no other film with a value of over 10 million. The Xiangjiang film industry completely slipped into the abyss.
The “Love Dream” starring Andy Lau and the well-known Japanese actress Hikaru Ishida by Oriental Film Company has the highest box office of the remaining films, only 8.89 million Hong Kong dollars.
Huang Baiming asked Andy Lau to star in the film for 12 million Hong Kong dollars. The cost of this film is as high as 44 million Hong Kong dollars. One film cost the Oriental Film Company blood loss, and the profits of one or two years were in vain.
Luo Junyan just listened to the report on a routine basis. As for how the Xiangjiang film market is sluggish, and what the summer file will be like, now he doesn’t care at all.
What he has to do now is to talk to the person in charge one by one, and clean up the business one by one. In the next few years, to ensure that nothing will disturb him, this is a contraction across the board.
At Snowman Century Entertainment Co., Ltd., Luo Junyan had a brief chat with her brother-in-law. Bian Sicong now has no confidence to invest in other people’s movies, so Luo Junyan decided to transfer all the company’s equipment at a low price, the office staff were dismissed, the funds in the account were emptied, and the production company completely stopped production.
The shooting equipment purchased for more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars is a bit outdated, and only 400,000 Hong Kong dollars are recovered for clearance sale. The final amount of funds in the company’s account was 71.6 million Hong Kong dollars, which belonged to the parent company XJ International Entertainment Media Group 68 million Hong Kong dollars, and Bian Sicong received 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends.
Bian Sicong is still the president of Snowman Century Entertainment, but there is no salary to get, just to maintain the company’s existence, of course, the copyright of the film is not sold.
At Snowman Times Media Co., Ltd., Luo Junyan was talking with Brother Cheng and Lu Huaxue. In order to rebuild the group of employees recalled by the theater, Luo Junyan gave a high compensation of 100,000 yuan each, and then all were dismissed.
According to the wishes of Brother Cheng and Lu Huaxue, only a fraction of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars was left in the company’s account. Snowman Times Media will only undertake some film promotion business in the future, which is regarded as giving Brother Cheng and Lu Huaxue something to do.
Snowman Times Media paid a total of 150 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. The parent company received 142.5 million Hong Kong dollars and Lu Huaxue received 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash.
The Snowman Times Media also exists in name only. At present, how many of the business of Xiangjiang Film Promotion can be received in a year? Thank God for earning more than 100,000 yuan per pen.
Lu Huaxue would rather continue to follow Brother Cheng without getting a salary. Luo Junyan didn’t want to guess other people’s thoughts. He only asked for the money to go out of business automatically. Then Lu Huaxue could decide to stay according to his own mind.
The Snow Knight Film Distribution Company, Hu Xin strongly requested to retain the distribution business, the salary is optional, and promised to never disturb Luo Junyan.
This year, because of an incident with sister army, Luo Junyan asked Hu Xin to stay in Xiangjiang on standby, so apart from “Midnight Ring”, he did not introduce a foreign film, and Xiangjiang did not distribute films as an agent. Currently, there are more than 93 million in the company’s account. Of cash.
Luo Junyan had to consider Hu Xin’s emotions, leaving her only 13 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and she had to settle the year-end taxes by herself. And he asked Hu Xin to distribute at least two films of the share-holding company every year, and the company would automatically shut down when the money ran out, and Hu Xin could go and stay as he pleased.
Hu Xin was very uncomfortable with Luo Junyan’s changes. She felt that Luo Junyan’s eyes were more cold and indifferent, but in the end she had no choice but to accept Luo Junyan’s request.
Snow White Knight issued 80 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to distribute dividends, which belonged to the parent company 76 million Hong Kong dollars, and Hu Xin received 4 million Hong Kong dollars. Not having a salary does not affect Hu Xin’s life. She herself has no idea of buying a home, and is more willing to change her residence according to her mood, so the tens of millions of deposits in her hand can take a long time.
For Yingxue Royal Family Entertainment Brokerage Company, Huo Wenxi didn’t put forward any ideas, everything was decided by Luo Junyan. This year, Emperor Group acquired Photographic Records and is preparing to establish Emperor Entertainment Company to enter the entertainment industry on a large scale. At this time, Emperor Group has a strong desire to acquire the Royal Family of Yingxue.
If Luo Junyan wants to sell Yingxue Royal Family, he can make a steady profit without having to compete directly with Emperor Entertainment. However, he will not sell any subsidiary of the Snowman family, so he only made one request to transfer all the artists who did not sign a long-term contract to Emperor Entertainment. In the future, the artists under the Royal Family of Yingxue must be the long-term contract of the full agent. That is to say, everything about the artists under the company is managed and controlled by the company.
Yingxue Royal Family’s original account had more than 82 million in cash, and through negotiations with Emperor Entertainment, another 36 million Hong Kong dollars in cash was obtained from the transfer of the artist contract. But none of its artists are left, and even a lot of employees have been poached away.
Yang Shoucheng, the boss of Emperor Group, values Huo Wenxi very much and strongly invites her to join Emperor Entertainment, but Huo Wenxi has no idea of leaving Luo Junyan. He would rather not have a salary, and would rather start everything from scratch.
Luo Junyan left Huo Wenxi with 18 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and also asked Huo Wenxi to go out of business when the money was used up, and Huo Wenxi left as he pleased.
Huo Wenxi was like a little daughter-in-law who was obedient to Luo Junyan, in short, everything was subject to his arrangements. In this way, another 100 million cash was paid out for dividends, which belonged to the parent company of 95 million Hong Kong dollars, and Huo Wenxi received 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Huo Wenxi did not own a home either, but only bought a villa for his family. Her parents couldn’t understand her daughter’s thoughts. Why did she have to follow a married man? Also openly confessed to others.
XJ International Entertainment Media Group has made a huge sum of 381.5 million Hong Kong dollars in half a month. After discussing with Brother Cheng and the old sister, Luo Junyan decided to use the money to buy an office building, and concentrate all the subsidiaries in their own properties, saving office rents for each company.
The purchase of the company’s office building was handled by Brother Cheng and Luo Meizi. Luo Junyan asked for it to be fast, and it must be completed within two months.
In early 1999, the property prices in Hong Kong once rebounded briefly, but then they fell further. The prices of real estate properties are currently lower than they were when the financial crisis just ended. If Luo Junyan is not in a hurry to buy, he can wait for the property market to continue to collapse, and I am afraid he will get a lower price, but he doesn’t care about this now.
At the same time, Luo Junyan handed the Luo Junyan Student Charity Foundation and Snow Country Entertainment Investment Company to Luo Meizi to help take care of it. Next year, the company will suspend the Ruixue Asian Partner Support Fund. There are not many things on both sides. It only needs someone to be responsible for supervision.
Luo Junyan went to South Korea when Brother Cheng and the old sister were negotiating to buy an office building.
After arriving in South Korea, he first paid attention to the current exchange rate of the South Korean won. The South Korean won has risen to the level of 1,250 won to 1 U.S. dollar, and it is still strengthening further. Luo Junyan decided to convert all 950 billion won into U.S. dollars. There is no need to keep the funds in South Korea. This time, it was 500 million U.S. dollars in exchange and 760 million U.S. dollars in exchange for out.
South Korea Yinxue Throne Entertainment Co., Ltd., Luo Junyan asked Jin Zhehe to suspend equity participation in any company, but must maintain the Asian Star Training Academy at the top level in Asia.
At the same time, the Throne Cinema and Yinxue Building are still entrusted to him to manage, but the Yinxue Throne Entertainment needs to hand over to Luo Junyan’s personal contract cost of 10 million Hong Kong dollars every year. This has left Jinzhehe with a profit of 56 million yuan. If the rent rises, the profit will be even greater.
The funds in the South Korean Silver Snow Throne Entertainment’s account are 11.2 billion won, which is about 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Luo Junyan can’t make any money, and maintaining the performance of the performing arts base needs to deal with various emergencies. Jin Zhehe’s salary can be saved, but the pressure of running the Asian Star Training Academy is even greater.
South Korea’s Gemini digital special effects company, since it became famous through the “Skyscraper”, it can also receive some high-end business in Asia. The company is currently updating hardware equipment and the latest software, and re-arranging the server architecture, these are things that old Joe tinkered with.
Luo Junyan didn’t care about this, he only looked at the account book, there were more than 82 million Hong Kong dollars in the account, but it was hard to tell after the software and hardware were fully updated. Luo Junyan informed Lao Qiao that he could transfer the shares as long as he still wanted it.
As a result, two days later, the representative lawyer rushed to South Korea to meet with Luo Junyan, and it took less than a day to sign the contract for the transfer of shares and start the subsequent change procedures.
The 6.5 million US dollars was directly transferred to the account of XJ International Entertainment Media Group, which was another 50 million Hong Kong dollars. At this point, the shareholding ratio of the South Korean Gemini Digital Special Effects Company has been changed to: XJ International Entertainment Media Group holds 65%, Jobs personally holds 25%, Will personally holds 5%, Allen personally holds 5%, Luo Jun Yan made a gift to Allen with 2% of the shares.
After staying in South Korea for more than 20 days, all 950 billion won was converted into U.S. dollars and transferred to the account of Snow Country Entertainment Investment, the head office, for a total of 750 million U.S. dollars.
Luo Junyan transferred the US$750 million into the account of Fengxue Giant Asset Management Company. In addition to the remaining US$80 million, the Wind and Snow Giants Trust Investment Fund manages US$830 million in cash and 11 million shares of Apple Computer.
There are only 5 million Hong Kong dollars in the Snow Country Entertainment Investment Company’s account, and the high compensation for the dismissed employees is also paid from the Snow Country Entertainment Investment account. However, by the end of the year, the Ruixue Asia Partner Support Foundation will return a support fund. Luo Junyan has asked Jin Zhehe to notify the companies of the suspension of the support fund. How much can be exchanged depends on his character, Luo Junyan has no time to do so. This is a waste of energy.
Luo Junyan will temporarily take over the personal accounts of their couples, and there are more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in the accounts. During the period when Luo Junyan is about to leave, only the 10 million Hong Kong dollars contracting cost of Silver Snow Throne Entertainment will come in every year, which will only cover the taxes of the three private lands in Hong Kong, South Korea and the United States.
Everything is ending quickly, no one in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle can understand Luo Junyan’s approach, and the foundation he has finally established is abandoned in this way, which is really shocking.
