The fact that Chen Xia was able to acquire "Zhou Jewelry" and "Jiahe Film" was actually the result of the tacit approval of the nine major conglomerates.
The wealthy people behind these conglomerates are really scared.
The downfall of the Wang family can be said to be a coincidence.
But the Zhou family’s demise is definitely not just a coincidence.
What? If you go against the Chen family, your family will be destroyed? Your entire family will be wiped out? Why is this so cruel?
Yes, there is no evidence that the arson and bombings committed by the Zhou family were committed by the Chen family. There is no evidence at all. Even though the British Hong Kong government secretly investigated all the people, companies, and employees of the Chen family, they still found nothing.
On the contrary, the Chen family has a lot of evidence showing that they did not do it and they are innocent.
For example, Ye Xincheng testified in the telecommunications arson case, and several leaders of the Chen family were present at the scene in Mingde Village.
In the Zhou family bombing case, the police can testify that several leaders of the Chen family have never left the house, and all telephone surveillance did not indicate that they were behind the scenes directing the attack.
But does this require evidence?
Regardless of the attitude of the foreigners and the police, the remaining nine rich people, oh no, it should be eight rich people, all believe that the incident was done by the Chen family.
The exception is Ye Xincheng, who insisted that it was done by other terrorists.
A dead Zhou family has no value anymore. No one will stand up for the Zhou family, and there isn't even a mourning hall.
The Zhou family's inheritance was divided up quickly, and the largest portion was of course taken by the British Hong Kong government, such as the bank deposits of the Zhou Group.
The fattest meat was divided up among the nine richest people.
Chen Xia also got the industries he wanted, especially "Jiahe Film".
As the largest film and television company in Hong Kong, Jiahe Films owns very rich tangible and intangible assets.
Due to Zhou Yuwen’s accidental death, a small number of senior executives left the company, but the remaining artists and directors, and the entire team of the company are still complete and can start work at any time.
Besides, Jiahe controls the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, with a total of 35 cinemas of various sizes, all located in city centers such as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
This is incomparable to the small cinemas in the rural areas of the New Territories.
Kerry Cinemas’ annual box office revenue accounts for 40% of Hong Kong’s total box office, which can be said to be of great importance.
Whether your movie can be released depends on whether the theater chain gives you face, the ranking, the time schedule, and the intensity of publicity and promotion, which are all directly related to the box office revenue.
Even the final settlement, whether it is given to you promptly or delayed for a year or two, is very important.
Therefore, as long as Kerry Cinemas is in Chen Xia's hands, even if he does nothing, all major film and television companies will need to flatter him in the hope of getting priority in scheduling screenings.
In this way, everyone has to give him some face. If anyone offends him, his movie will not get screening support, which will make you depressed.
In the 1990s, Hong Kong films radiated throughout Asia and were the second largest film and television production center in the world after Hollywood.
With the help of Jiahe Film, Chen Xia easily squeezed into the Hong Kong film and television circle and made a fortune by taking advantage of the last glory of Hong Kong films.
After a few years when the Hong Kong film and television industry has declined, they can put on the skin of Hong Kong capital, cooperate with Four Seasons Film and Television, and enjoy the most preferential treatment in the mainland.
By then, Hong Kong will have Kerry Cinemas, the mainland will have Four Seasons Pictures, both places will have cinema chains, and Yuezhou will also have a film and television city. What is this?
From artist management, film and television production, distribution theaters, to future video websites, games and animation, this is the development of the entire industry chain.
If this business is done well, the profits will be no less than those in the pharmaceutical industry.
This is definitely a giant in the film and television industry, a Tyrannosaurus Rex-level existence in the entertainment industry. By then, Chen Xia will be the godfather of entertainment. Won't those female stars cry and call him daddy?
Well, it seems that there is no need to wait until later, it can be done now...
The Chen family's takeover of Zhou Jewelry went very smoothly because Chen Shuqin was an old employee of Zhou Jewelry and was very familiar with the company's operations.
So the two companies merged smoothly, and Zhou Jewelry has a total of more than 80 stores across Asia, all uniformly labeled "South of the Colorful Clouds".
As it happened, all the members of the Zhou family died out, and in Chen Xia's space, the original inventory of Zhou's jewelry could be sold openly, and the supply problem was solved at once.
And the original promise that "additional charges can be made at any time within 20 years based on the original invoice price" is still valid.
For a time, Caiyunzhinan had squeezed out other jewelry companies in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia and other regions, leaving them with no room for survival.
However, we encountered some problems when receiving "Kerry Films".
All the old employees who had followed Zhou Yuwen to build the business had left, and before leaving they sold their shares to the Chen family.
Chen Xia did not make things difficult for them, nor did he lower the price. He simply redeemed the shares at the stock market closing price.
The turmoil in the company inevitably affected the company's atmosphere. The employees were in panic, and those famous directors and actors didn't know what to do.
But Chen Xia knew that it was impossible to expect every movie made by the company to be a big hit.
So his goal is very clear, just to capture a few key figures.
The first director was Tsui Hark.
Tsui Hark can be said to be the representative of the new martial arts. His works, such as "Once Upon a Time in China", "New Dragon Inn", "Once Upon a Time in China II", "The Lion King", etc., are all big sellers.
It can be called a money printing machine.
Of course, the later "The Legend of Zu" also suffered heavy losses and became a money-losing product, but that's a story for later.
The second director is Wang Jing
Later generations called him the "King of Bad Movies", but this is actually a bit unfair to him. He made many movies, many of which were bad, but also many of which were classics.
