Chapter 227 Convincing Sha Ya
The Office of the Chairman of HSBC Bank
It’s rare to have free time, so Boss Chen came to Sha Ya’s place to drink tea.
Of course, people like Chen Yi belong to the Three Treasures Hall if they have nothing to do. It is impossible to come to find someone to drink tea if they have nothing to do. Even if he really wants to drink tea, he will definitely not choose to come to Shaya to drink it.
With this time, he would rather discuss with that secretary Yu Min in his office about the duties of the secretary.
He came here for one purpose, to ask Sha Ya, the chairman of HSBC Bank, for help. In the blink of an eye, for more than a month, good news finally came from Boss Li. About the film and television base, Boss Li and Boss Qiu Most of the Xiangjiang film and television professionals have been convinced.
Now these people have submitted applications to the Governor's Office to build an Oriental Hollywood film and television city, which has become the focus of the Hong Kong film and television industry. Whether the film and television base plan can get the support of the Governor's Office is directly related to the future development of Hong Kong Film and Television.
Therefore, the attitude of many Xiangjiang film and television professionals on this matter can be said to be very positive, which has led to discussions on whether to build a Xiangjiang film and television base.
Regarding the wishes of Boss Li and others, the Governor’s Office did not immediately voice support. After all, it involves the development of such a large piece of land. make a final decision.
In this matter, Chen Yi has not interfered too much.
As for the reason, it’s actually very simple. He doesn’t have much influence in the film and television industry, let alone the extensive personal connections and prestige of Boss Li and Boss Qiu.
Chen Yi's idea at the beginning was to sneak into the village without shooting guns. He personally only contributed funds to build a film and television base, and left all other matters to Boss Li and others.
Now that he is too popular, once other filmmakers know that he is behind the scenes, they will definitely be wary.
After all, the cake in the film and television circle is so big, if one more person comes in, an extra piece of cake will be given out.
In this matter, Boss Li and Boss Qiu also deliberately helped him hide it. The two old people are obviously very optimistic about him. Naturally, Chen Yi will not be in front of such a thing that is too much in the limelight.
However, now that the critical moment has come, Chen Yi naturally can't just watch and do nothing.
No, he made an agreement with Boss Li before that he would come forward to persuade Sha Ya from HSBC Bank, so Chen Yi used the excuse of finding someone to drink tea, and came here to ask Sha Ya to come forward for help.
Sha Ya seems to be very happy to see Chen Yi's troublesome personality. After hearing about Chen Yi's development of Xiangjiang's entertainment industry in the future, Sha Ya also became interested in the film and television base he mentioned.
As we all know, the capital behind Hollywood comes from Wall Street.
The relationship between Hollywood and Wall Street financial capital can be traced back to the 1920s. As early as 1924, more than a dozen film and television companies in Hollywood were controlled by Wall Street bankers.
For example, the well-known Warner Bros., one of the Hollywood film and television giants, is backed by the famous Goldman Sachs Bank.
Although Wall Street capital will not participate in the specific internal operations of Hollywood film and television companies, in order to ensure the safety of investment as much as possible, Wall Street consortiums will send representatives to the board of directors of those film and television companies. Financial matters.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that it is not the film and television companies that really control Hollywood, but the Wall Street capital behind them.
Regarding the future development direction of Xiangjiang, HSBC Bank naturally has certain plans. Compared with others, Sha Ya can also see the future development prospects of the entertainment industry.
He had also received some news about Boss Li's and others' activities before, which made him never expect that Chen Yi would be involved.
Moreover, it seems that the person who is in charge of this matter is most likely the little guy in front of him whom he has been optimistic about.
Thinking of this, Sha Ya finally made a statement.
"Chen Sheng, please rest assured that HSBC Bank will fully support the film and television city. I will personally express HSBC Bank's attitude to the Governor. If Chen Sheng needs it, HSBC Bank will also give some support in terms of funds. .”
Chen Yi wasn't too surprised by Sha Ya's attitude, but it was the other party's last sentence that made him hear other meanings.
"Does HSBC have no plans to take a stake in the film and television city?"
"Although I believe Chen Sheng has your vision, Boss Li and Mr. Qiu seem to be in charge of this matter. HSBC can support Chen Sheng in terms of funds. Chen Sheng can rest assured."
"Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Sha Ya with this matter. Please convince the Governor. After all, it is related to the future development of Xiangjiang Film and Television. The support of the Governor's Office is very important to us."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will try my best to convince the governor."
Currently, the relationship between Chen Yi and HSBC Bank can be said to be extraordinary. The other party is not only a director of the board of directors of HSBC Bank, but also has frequent business contacts with HSBC Bank.
Now Chen Yi asks him to come forward to persuade Governor MacLehose. This is not too difficult for him, so naturally he will not refuse.
The future development direction of Xiangjiang has basically been determined now, mainly focusing on finance, supplemented by real estate and import and export trade, and diversified development of other service industries.
Xiangjiang has a population of several million. It is impossible to absorb these millions of people by relying only on the three major industries of finance, real estate, and import and export trade.
Therefore, it will be a trend to vigorously develop the service industry in the future. Nowadays, Xiangjiang film and television industry is developing strongly. According to the vision given by Li Chenyi, Xiangjiang may become the second Hollywood in the future.
The extent of Hollywood’s influence can be seen from the world of popular American culture. Once Xiangjiang is lucky enough to become the second Hollywood, it will bring huge benefits to Xiangjiang.
The economic development of a city is not only dependent on its basic environment, but also its reputation is very important. Now Xiangjiang is not the later Asian financial center, and its international status is far from being as influential as later generations.
So, HSBC will support anything that can promote the economic development of Xiangjiang. As for why it supports it, the reason is very simple, because the economic development of Xiangjiang directly affects the development of HSBC.
As one of the Hong Kong dollar note-issuing banks, the interests of HSBC are firmly bound up with Hong Kong’s economy. In the future, only the better the overall economic development of Hong Kong, HSBC can benefit from it.
