Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

No newspaper will publish anything like this without checking it out.

Soon, after several consecutive phone calls were broadcast, Boss Ma finally heard the answer he wanted and got the exact information provided by the other party. Boss Ma hung up the phone contentedly.

Picking up the photo on the table, Boss Ma shook his head with a wry smile, and then connected to the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily.

This news must be used properly. While everyone's attention is on the Asian TV station, I will release the news on my side, and the sales this week will definitely climb to a new height.

Chapter 204 Boss Lei

The Peninsula Hotel

This is the first time Yang Chen took the initiative to wait for someone, and the most terrible thing is that the object is still a man.

Of course, the boss he was waiting for next was definitely worth waiting for him here.

As for the reason, it is naturally that the other party has something he wants very much now.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are closely related to people in any era, and they will never be separated.

Now that Yang Chen has Carrefour, and has invested in Xue's manufacturing industry, he already has a foothold in terms of food and clothing.

Next, in terms of housing and transportation, he is also an industry that he really wants to enter. In terms of housing, there is no rush now. The real estate in Xiangjiang is booming now, and it is not the time for him to make a big purchase.

Therefore, the word 'xing' naturally entered his field of vision.

Next, Carrefour will establish first- and second-tier supermarkets in various regions. Everyone knows that large markets generally require a huge number of people.

If you want people to visit, you need a good transportation, and the transportation is convenient, so that people will enter the supermarket.

Therefore, after Carrefour stabilized, Yang Chen started to think about buses. If you want to say Xiangjiang's buses, the most famous one is the Kowloon Bus.

The predecessor of Kowloon Bus, Kowloon Motor, was established in 1921.

At the beginning, Kowloon Bus only operated two bus routes, from Tsim Sha Tsui to Sham Shui Po and from Yau Ma Tei to Kowloon City.

Until the end of the 20s, the Kowloon Bus Company took over a long-distance bus line from Mong Kok to Yuen Long by Sino-American Transportation Company.

In May 1932, the Xiangjiang government restructured Hong Kong public transport services and granted two bus service patents, Xiangjiang Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

From Kowloon to the New Territories, Kowloon Bus obtained the patent rights granted by the government at that time.

On April 1933, 4, the Kowloon Bus Company was formally established by Deng Zhaojian, Lei Ruide, Lei Liang, Tan Huantang and Lin Mingxun.

In 1972, due to the official opening of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the Kowloon Bus, which had always only provided bus services in Kowloon and the New Territories, entered Hong Kong Island for the first time.

So far, Kowloon Bus has officially covered all bus routes in Xiangjiang, becoming the largest bus in Hong Kong.

In the 80s, with the increasing popularity of the underground railway and the Kowloon-Canton Railway, Kowloon Bus was affected and its benefits gradually declined.

At this time, Kowloon Bus has not yet started to reorganize its routes and provide bus-rail connection services.

In the case of a generally rising general environment, the stock of Kowloon Bus has shown a downward trend instead, which has caused many stockholders to be pessimistic about it, and then began to sell the shares related to Kowloon Bus in their hands.

Since Yang Chen put his mind on the Kowloon Bus, everyone must already know the person he will be waiting for next.

Speaking of this tycoon, one has to mention his relationship with the entertainment industry. There are countless rich people in Xiangjiang.

But what can be remembered by the public, apart from the top ten richest people, there are very few others.

And this rich second-generation Boss Lei, who was born in the Lei family and was born with a golden key in his mouth, is definitely a figure who can stand alongside Shao Daheng and Boss Zou in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle in the 80s and [-]s.

There has never been a shortage of rich and wealthy businessmen investing in Xiangjiang entertainment industry. No matter what their respective goals are, their influence on Xiangjiang Film and Television is still very large.

With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, people's lives are gradually getting richer, and Hong Kong's film and television industry has also become another major emerging industry after the pillar industries of real estate, finance, and shipping.

With the increasingly fierce competition in traditional industries, many people began to develop into other industries.

Boss Lei Jue Kun Lei, a representative of the Lei family, is one of the most typical ones.

Since the 70s, when Kowloon Bus was listed, Lei Juekun has continued to increase investment in the film industry.

By the early 80s, the princess theater chain in the hands of the other party had already divided the world with the two major theater chains of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Boss Lei, who is now devoting all his attention to the film business, is naturally getting less and less attention in the face of the declining Kowloon Bus.

In the 80s, the box office of Xiangjiang movies showed explosive growth. The box office of movies was higher than the next day. It was already surprising that the box office exceeded 500 million. Now it is not difficult to earn tens of millions.

As a businessman, it is very important whether the industry in hand makes money. Although Kowloon Bus is the largest bus company in Hong Kong, its annual profit is not worth the box office of a few movies. No one cares about it. .

As a public service company, Kowloon Bus inevitably needs to undertake some social responsibilities.

For example, the price increase of train tickets is different from the fact that real estate developers can increase housing prices as high as they want. Even if you only increase the price by a dime, if the public does not accept it, the government will not approve it.

Compared with the need for government approval to increase the price of bus tickets, it is much easier to increase the price of movie tickets.

From the early movie ticket price of a few cents, with the development of the economy, prices have risen, and various inflations have fallen.

The ticket price of Xiangjiang movies has risen to seven or eight yuan. It is not new for some movie theaters with better environment to soar to more than ten yuan.

In this way, one side is light and the other side is heavy, and everyone can see clearly.

He no longer cares about Boss Lei on the Kowloon Bus, and has already regarded the film business as his main business.

After all, with only 20.00% of Kowloon Bus shares in hand, Boss Lei has no way to decide all the affairs of Kowloon Bus.

Decisions on many things require the convening of major shareholders for discussion before one thing can be passed.

As a rich second generation who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, I believe that no one wants to be restrained by others. In this way, the Golden Princess Cinema Line, which holds a majority of the shares in his hands, naturally became Boss Lei's own son.

As for the Kowloon Bus, which was founded by his father, it became secondary instead.

As the saying goes, it doesn't feel bad for the cub to sell his grandfather.

Without having experienced the hard work of his father's generation, Boss Lei would naturally not put his heart into managing a declining company.

At the Peninsula Hotel, after waiting for almost half an hour, Yang Chen finally met the person who made him wait for such a long time for the first time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late, nephew Yang Xian, don't take offense."

Hearing Boss Lei open his mouth to say Nephew Yang, the corner of Yang Chen's mouth twitched, but in the end he still held back.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Lei, take a seat, I also just arrived not long ago."

Boss Lei was not too polite. After sitting down, he took the menu handed over by the waiter and ordered several dishes in succession. "Hurry up, I've been busy all morning, and I haven't had time to eat yet."

"Okay, Mr. Lei." The waiter obviously knew Lei Juekun. After taking the menu, he nodded and turned to leave.

After the waiter left, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle Lei, what have you been up to lately, you don't even have time to eat?"
