"Mr. Xing, sometimes doing business is just a matter of hitting it off immediately. You provide the money, I do the work, it's that simple," Fan Liu said with a smile.
Xing Baohua shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe you're ugly, and I can't appreciate you. I feel a bit repulsed by you. Cooperation also depends on whether we find each other pleasing to the eye!"
This was the first time Xing Baohua had mocked someone like this since arriving in Hong Kong.
Liu, the fan, was indeed a little embarrassed by what he said.
Besides, Xing Baohua doesn't look like a handsome young man; isn't he ugly too?
But Fan Liu still didn't dare to show any anger in front of Xing Baohua.
"Mr. Xing, since you don't want to cooperate with me, there's no need to make excuses. I'll take my leave now. I apologize for the inconvenience." With that, he turned and left.
"How can I refuse without finding some reason?" Xing Baohua thought to himself, watching Fan Liu's retreating figure.
Then I inquired about which areas in Hong Kong were up for auction recently. And they were large enough that Liu himself would personally go out and find partners.
Many plots of land in Hong Kong are auctioned for hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. But there is one place that definitely requires cooperation from multiple parties.
Xing Baohua learned that the Kowloon Walled City was to be demolished soon, and that the negotiations between the mainland and Hong Kong had been completed.
What happens to the land cleared after demolition?
I've heard that a park is going to be built, but most people feel that the possibility of real estate development is much higher.
Therefore, many people are inquiring about planning issues.
There must have been a plan before the demolition. Some areas were to be developed into parks, while others were to be developed into residential areas. After all, the land is quite large, and whoever acquires a plot can make a lot of money building and selling properties there.
Fan Liu's net worth is only a few hundred million or a few billion, and given his spending habits, his cash flow is probably very small.
If you want a piece of that cake, you need to find someone to cooperate with. Xing Baohua is undoubtedly the most powerful and also very rich.
Just as he said, he was responsible for doing the work, and Xing Baohua was responsible for providing the money.
He originally thought he was confident he could persuade Xing Baohua to invest, but to his surprise, Xing Baohua refused because of his appearance.
Damn it, just you wait. Things change every ten years, and sooner or later I'll trample you underfoot, you mainland boy.
Xing Baohua ignored what Fan Liu thought and went to see Xu Laoguai in his office.
Upon meeting Xing Baohua, this man went straight to the point, saying, "Mr. Xing, I need ten to twenty million US dollars to make a movie."
Xing Baohua gave a thumbs up. His courage and confidence were unmatched in all of Hong Kong.
The cost of filming in Hong Kong has gradually increased, often requiring investments of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Tsui Hark went even further, aiming for a budget of nearly twenty million US dollars. This was in line with the budget of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Even Hollywood has to think twice before making a blockbuster with a budget of tens of millions.
"Are you confident?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Yes! I've approached several companies, but none of them dare to invest. They're too afraid to take the risk. Cinema City is even pushing it down to just over five million US dollars. Wouldn't that be worse than not making it at all? If I can't get funding from you, I'll give up."
Old Xu spoke frankly.
"Where is the biggest expense?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Special effects! I've already checked the quotes from Industrial Light Source (ILM), which are around $1,000-$3,000 per second. So this part is very expensive," Xu Laoguai said.
"What made you decide to make a blockbuster?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Wasn't it because you asked me for help before the New Year, for some special effects your team did? So I've had this idea for a while now?" Xu Laoguai said with a chuckle.
"Uh!" Xing Baohua chuckled as well.
It's indeed a bit of a sin to have aroused the lustful desires of this top special effects expert in Hong Kong.
"Alright, it's my fault! Here's ten million. Make a good film, and figure out how to burn it all," Xing Baohua said.
"That's US dollars, not H coins. If it's less H coins, I can still recruit people. Fifteen million. I'll just use it sparingly," Old Xu said, shrugging.
"Okay! But some roles will use my people."
“I already use Juanjuan’s! Oh, I see, add one more.” Old Xu nodded and said.
Xing Baohua told Xu Laoguai to prepare the contract and come to him anytime to collect the check.
After Tsui Hark left, I realized what he was going to film.
Never mind, whatever they film, I'll support them.
It's a pity his graphics card hasn't come out yet, otherwise he could save a lot of money. This is what pains Xing Baohua. His graphics card design has been completed, but the tape-out process hasn't started yet because the equipment is still in short supply.
It's important to understand that the key steps in chip manufacturing are design, production, packaging, and cost testing.
Before that, there's another step: tape-out. A few or dozens of wafers are produced first for testing. Once the tests are passed, mass production is carried out according to this design.
The more complex something is, the slower it is.
There's no use in being anxious. Besides, money just keeps flowing away like water.
Over the next two days, Xing Baohua signed an investment contract with Xu Laoguai, and Xing Baohua became the producer.
As soon as the news broke, people in the Hong Kong entertainment circle thought that Xing Baohua was foolish and rich! She makes money like crazy, and spends it like crazy too?
Most importantly, they can afford to lose money and act like they don't care at all.
Having just earned over four billion, they certainly have the confidence to back it up.
Didn't they say he was short of money for building cars? How come he still has over ten million yuan to spare for fun?
I don't know when, but entertainment news has come out again. The headline is that a wealthy tycoon has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to promote his two daughters? The first wife and the second wife appeared together in the same scene.
The topic certainly attracted attention, and the writing style was much more restrained, as if afraid of going too far and attracting the attention of Xing Baohua's legal team.
Xing Baohua didn't care about the sideline report, nor did he have time to read it.
At this moment, Xing Baohua and several shareholders were playing golf in Repulse Bay.
