At this time, the contract was no longer important. He waved the secretary out. He Junlong stepped forward and gently took the phone out of Zhou Huaiwen's hand and put it back on the cradle.
"I'm fine!"
Zhou Huaiwen's voice was hoarse, like a traveler who had been dry for several days in the desert.
He Junlong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old man, it's okay. Even if things come to the worst, it's not a big deal. We have experienced so many storms and waves. This small case cannot be difficult for us. At best, it only scratches the surface. , It’s not even considered to be a broken muscle or bone.”
This comfort had some effect. Zhou Huaiwen picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. The tea moistened his heart and lungs, and he felt much better.
Then he said: "I didn't expect that I was blinded by geese after hunting geese all day long. This Li Xiucheng is really difficult to deal with."
He looked at He Junlong and said: "You know, Lei Jin and Pan Xiaosheng did not cheat me because of the interests of the movie, but because Li Xiucheng worked hard on their core industry. Although I don't know what it is, it is true. It’s true that they are superior in skills, this is considered a dimensionality reduction attack, we don’t even have the ability to fight back, so we didn’t lose unfairly this time.”
Seeing Zhou Huaiwen say this, He Junlong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhou Huaiwen would admit death and get into trouble.
Then he followed his words and said: "There is no doubt about this. Although I have not been in contact with him, I can tell the clues just by looking at a series of things he did.
Whether it was his initial demonstration to establish Jinyi, and then his confrontation with Motorola, now it has tricked Motorola into not only losing the market, but even the sales director was involved.
Looking back at the past, Weiyun directly suppressed the Hexing Gang, and then used the remaining power to subdue several film companies with corporate backgrounds such as Dadi Film and Television.
Each of these incidents all shows the terror of this young man. This is not just about simple courage and boldness. It requires sufficient strength, an extraordinary strategy, and a delicate mind that can strategize.
Not to mention you and me, throughout Xiangjiang, I have not found anyone who can compare with him in these aspects. "
Zhou Huaiwen still didn't want to admit that he was inferior to that young man from the mainland, so he couldn't help but muttered.
"There are so many business tycoons in Hong Kong, but none of them can compare to him? This is a bit exaggerated!
Where is Li Chao? What about the four families? Which one is inferior to Li Xiucheng? "
Seeing that he was still stubborn, He Junlong shook his head and said: "I came from the mainland to work alone, but these people grew up in Xiangjiang, and even their families have been in Xiangjiang for several generations, and even if they succeed, they will be as talented as us. , there is no comparison at all!
Old age is a capital and an advantage, but in this case, if you can't compare with others, then you are not as good as others. There is no second possibility! "
He Junlong's conclusion was obviously not friendly to the elderly, and it was the last fig leaf that Zhou Huaiwen had left behind.
Zhou Huaiwen breathed heavily and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are always sensible, so don't say too much if you undermine my morale like this."
Although Zhou Huaiwen was complaining about himself, He Junlong breathed a sigh of relief, because this showed that Zhou Huaiwen would not get into trouble anymore.
He smiled and said: "I'm just telling the truth. Whoever follows the other between us doesn't need to pretend to support the other!"
They have been partners for decades. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as brothers. The two of them couldn't help laughing at the same time.
This smile made my depressed mood feel much better.
Zhou Huaiwen picked up the movie ticket in front of him and was about to crush it, but suddenly stopped when he got it in his hand, then folded the movie ticket and put it in his pocket.
He Junlong asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
“I feel we should pay more attention to our new opponent, so I have to watch the movie this time.
You can save dozens of dollars by keeping this ticket! "
He Junlong also laughed: "Heh, then I'll get a few more, four tickets for two movies! It seems that we are going to contribute a lot of money to Jinyi."
"That's right! I guess that guy Li Xiucheng will wake up laughing in his dreams if he finds out."
After laughing, Zhou Huaiwen's expression became serious: "Let's get down to business. I still need to contact Pan Xiaosheng later. In any case, what happened this time was due to the two of them being unethical. If we just keep it quiet, forget it. I'm afraid the world will look down on me, Jiahe, and look down on me, Zhou Huaiwen."
"Yes, I support you on this." He Junlong nodded. Although it is a bit unpleasant for Zhou Huaiwen to find someone to deal with the rising star, but that is to outsiders. Pan Xiaosheng agreed to be an insider, but regretted it after being born as an insider. This is betrayal, no matter what. Say hello to him.
And there is another important issue that must be resolved.
"Lao Zhou, how do you think we can control this speed? You have to know that we are at a disadvantage in the current situation, and the combined share of Jinyi's theaters has exceeded 60% of the total."
Zhou Huaiwen also had a headache when he heard this question. In the past, Jiahe Movies were all released in full theaters, otherwise the box office would not have been so high.
Now that this is done, only about 30% of the cinema share is left, which means that the box office of a movie has become about one-third of the original amount. Unless a huge amount of money is made, ordinary movies may not even be able to recover the cost. .
This is a devastating blow to a movie, and it is also huge bad news to a movie company.
This time it was really a case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Zhou Huaiwen held his head with a headache and thought again and again, and then said for a long time: "I will call Pan Xiaosheng first, and then propose negotiations.
I don't believe they are willing to let our high-quality movies not be released. You must know that this is money, and it is money that trickles down.
Even if I have to pay a certain price for it, I will get rid of them, so don't worry.
Go about your business first. "
"Oh." He Junlong nodded, "I'll go and seal the prepared master copies first."
"Well, there's still more than a day left, I hope something can change!"
Zhou Huaiwen murmured, but to be honest, he wasn't quite sure because Lei Jin's words just now were too firm.
He felt that there was no room for negotiation, so he picked up the phone again and called Pan Xiaosheng.
But this time, Pan Xiaosheng answered the phone immediately, and when he mentioned the film's release, the other party did not quibble, but admitted it generously.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. It is true that we have reached an agreement with Jinyi Entertainment. There is no way to release your company's movies this time."
Since Pan Xiaosheng was direct, Zhou Huaiwen didn't hide it anymore.
"Pan Sheng, what you did is treacherous. If word spreads, your reputation will not be good."
