After afternoon tea, Shen Fang took Shen Kun to a banquet. Man Shen and the other two didn't join in the fun, knowing that Shen Fang had important matters to discuss, so they didn't bother him anymore.
Cheng Long's Diving Bay Villa.
Shen Fang met Zhou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and another elderly gentleman who looked quite old.
Yesterday, Ho Kwun-cheung was full of energy, but today he looks like he has aged ten years.
"Brother Shen, this is Uncle Liang, who is also a major shareholder of Jiahe."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Liang."
Mr. Liang looked up and smiled at Chen Fang.
"Young man, heroes emerge from among the young."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "Compared to the three of you, what kind of hero am I? You created the golden age of Hong Kong films, and I am just a junior."
“The Yangtze River’s back waves push the front waves, young man, times have changed.” He Guanchang looked at Shen Fang.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Mr. He, you seem to be in poor spirits after just one day. You can't let your vital energy dissipate, or you'll become a walking corpse."
He Guanchang stared at Shen Fang upon hearing this.
"You're right, it's a pity, it's a pity my body is getting old and I should retire. Young man, we've discussed it and we can sell Golden Harvest, but you have to agree to one request."
"I respectfully listen to Mr. He's teachings."
"The name Golden Harvest must be preserved. I hope you can preserve the history of Golden Harvest, so that Golden Harvest can always exist in the film industry and let people see the rise of Chinese cinema."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fang glanced at Raymond Chow.
"Mr. Zou, is this your additional condition?"
Raymond Chow glanced at his old friend.
"That's right!!!"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. My company is called Longteng, so how about we name the new company Longteng Jiahe?"
"You agreed?" He Guanchang glanced at Chen Fang in surprise.
Chen Fang lit a cigarette.
"He Sheng is just a name. What he is called is not important. What is important is his spirit. I will inherit your will. You brought Hong Kong films to a golden age, so I will bring Chinese films to a golden age."
"Okay, okay, okay."
He Guanchang said "Good" three times, got up and walked to Shen Fang, patting Shen Fang on the shoulder.
"Young man, you have ambition!!! I hope I can see Chinese cinema reach its peak in my lifetime!!!"
PS: In the real world, Mr. He passed away in 1997. Why did the author write about him? Because this gentleman truly dedicated his entire life to the film industry.
"Shen Sheng, are you preparing for more transactions?"
Shen Fang looked at Zou Wenhuai with a smile.
“Mr. Zou, there’s no rush. Our General Manager of Longteng Media will arrive in Hong Kong at 7 p.m. and she will take over everything. The acquisition of 200 million can’t be done just like that. I may have to lay off some departments and employees. I hope you can support me.”
Raymond Chow nodded: "Of course, but I still hope you can give more opportunities to the older generation, after all, they have followed Jiahe their whole lives."
Shen Fang smiled but remained silent.
He didn't accept Golden Harvest as a charity. Acquiring a company inevitably involves a major overhaul; otherwise, what kind of boss can't control people's hearts? It's like conquering an empire. Once you've conquered it, some former officials will naturally be promoted, while the incompetent will be dismissed. He's not doing charity work; he'll ruthlessly eliminate them.
The group chatted about the glorious history of Hong Kong cinema.
......
The time has come to 19:10.
Hong Kong Kowloon Airport
Dressed in a professional suit, Chung Lai-fong returned to Hong Kong once again. But instead of being an employee, she was now a general manager. More importantly, the new boss was incredibly wealthy and wanted to acquire Golden Harvest. When she learned this, she was stunned—Golden Harvest! The symbol of Hong Kong cinema!
Zhong Lifang was in a daze the whole way.
"Sister Lifang, over here!!!"
Shen Kun swayed his fat and thin frame, holding a banana boat in his hand.
When Zhong Lifang saw Shen Kun, she quickly took two steps while pulling her suitcase.
Shen Kun took Zhong Lifang's suitcase, and the two got into Cheng Long's Mitsubishi sports car, which Cheng Long had lent to Shen Kun.
"Xiao Kun, whose car is this? Mitsubishi cars are rarely seen in Hong Kong. What are all these random buttons?" Zhong Lifang said, fastening her seatbelt.
Shen Kun said proudly, "This is Brother Cheng Long's car. It's the Mitsubishi supercar used for filming 'Asian Eagle.' I'm borrowing it for a bit."
Zhong Lifang looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Brother Cheng Long's car??? Why would he lend it to you?"
Shen Kun started the car and gave a detailed account of what he and Shen Fang had been doing in Hong Kong over the past few days, as well as explaining the acquisition of Golden Harvest.
Zhong Lifang was speechless: "You mean the boss told Mr. Zou about acquiring Jiahe during our first meeting? And then he sent me here the next day just to negotiate the acquisition?"
Shen Kun nodded: "Yes."
Zhong Lifang was speechless... She had never seen such a hasty acquisition. A typical acquisition would take at least three months, and some even take several years. How could Chen Fang acquire someone so easily, preparing for negotiations and the deal in just two days? It was outrageous.
“Sister Lifang, this is normal. You can never guess what your third great-uncle is thinking. He’s always like this. He’s the kind of person who does whatever comes to mind. Or rather, how should I put it? He’s just wildly imaginative. When we came here, because of what happened between me and Cola, my third great-uncle was planning to set up a milk tea processing plant and create his own milk tea brand. Anyway, most people can’t keep up with his thought process.”
Zhong Lifang stared blankly at Shen Kun.
"A milk tea processing plant?"
Shen Kun nodded.
"Yes, I think starting my own milk tea brand has a lot of potential. I'll take care of it."
Zhong Lifang... she really does everything, even though she's a small business owner...
"Sister Lifang's acquisition of Jiahe must be a worthwhile deal, right?"
"Although the 200 million acquisition is a bit of a loss now, it is very important for Longteng. Moreover, the small boss's big entertainment layout requires cinemas. With cinemas, the company can get more support from shareholders when it goes public. No matter how you look at it, this deal is a win-win."
Shen Kun nodded.
The two leisurely arrived at the Repulse Bay villa. After getting out of the car, Zhong Lifang straightened her skirt and turned to face Shen Kun.
"How does it look on Xiao Kun? Should I wear this?"
Shen Kun smiled and said, "What's wrong, Sister Fang? Aren't you nervous?"
Zhong Lifang rolled her eyes at Shen Kun.
“I used to only see these big shots on TV in Hong Kong. Of course I’m nervous to meet them in person today. They are all legends in the industry.”
Shen Kun smiled and said, "Let's go. We're the client, we're paying for the acquisition. What are you so nervous about?"
Zhong Lifang smiled upon hearing this: "That makes sense."
