539 [Summer File]
The pre-sale of Jinxiu Huayuan in Ye Jin was very popular, which made the company earn 50 million Hong Kong dollars and a bumper harvest.
Over there, Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Real Estate and Steel Company also began to carry out layered pre-sales of the Global Building located at Central Station.
Because Global Building is located at the entrance of Central Station subway station, almost no one can match the convenience of transportation. What's more, it is located in a prime location in Central, and the commercial office buildings here have always been rented but not sold.
Nowadays, there is such a brand new building with convenient transportation and superior location, and it is necessary to be sold in layers, so buyers from all walks of life naturally rush to buy it.
Within eight hours after the opening, all the twenty-seventh floor buildings were sold out. Ye Jin took the opportunity to buy two floors for future rentals.
The total transaction amount this time is as high as HK$592 million, which is ten times more expensive than a 50-story high-rise building in Jinxiu Huayuan. It can be seen that the Central Ring Road is indeed worth every inch of land and much higher than the housing prices in Tuen Mun.
The pre-sale of Global Building was successful, and Cheung Kong's stock price naturally rose, which made Ye Jin, the major shareholder, make a small fortune.
Zhao Yazhi was also very happy. She heard Ye Jin's words and bought Cheung Kong stock a few days ago. Now, when Cheung Kong stock price rises, she earns a small amount of HK$200,000, which is equivalent to the money of a house.
"Brother Jin, your suggestions are really effective." She smiled at Ye Jin happily.
"That's natural, I won't harm you." Ye Jin smiled, "Don't sell Cheung Kong stocks for now, there is still room for growth in the future."
Changshi is about to unveil the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa. Once the acquisition is successful, Cheung Kong can swallow up all of its assets, including land, docks, warehouses, ferries, trams, properties, hotels, etc.
Its assets will increase by four times, and its stock price will inevitably roll upward, and it will not be surprising to rise by three or four times. At that time, Zhao Yazhi's more than two million Hong Kong dollars will become tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
For her, it was a lot of money.

After staying in Xiangjiang for nearly a month, Ye Jin then took Lin Qingxia back to Hollywood.
"Grease" will be officially released in July and is now in promotion and marketing. This drama is the first drama he invested in and produced after taking over Fox Pictures.
Success or not is directly related to his status and prestige in the company. If he fails to succeed, he will succeed. It is so important that Ye Jin naturally cannot neglect him.
What he was most worried about was the collision between "Grease" and "Superman".
Major film companies have movies released in the summer this year.
Columbia Pictures is about to release "The God of War in Atlantis", which is a fantasy, adventure and action movie. For young people who love action movies and love adventures, this movie is still attractive.
However, Doug McCros, the starring actor of this drama, is just a TV star. It is hard for anyone to make the box office appeal.
Paramount Pictures is about to release "The Wrong Heaven and Reborn", which is a remake of the well-known comedy "Mr. Jordan" starring the well-known movie star Warren Beatty.
Warren Beatty debuted in 1959, and in 1962 he was nominated for Best Actor for "Where Are the Floral Grasses in the World". In 1968, he participated in the production and starred in "The Male and Female Robber", which won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Actor. In 1976, he won the Oscar for Best Original Nomination for Best Original with "Shash"...
"The Wrong Heaven and Reincarnate" is his first self-directed and acted by himself. This movie has been previewed a few days ago, and the reviews of the critics who have watched it are still good.
However, Warren Beatty's box office appeal actually declined a few years ago. Although the movie "Shash" has a good reputation, its box office in North America is only more than 20 million US dollars, which is not a big seller.
In comparison, "Saturday Night Fever" starring John Travolta had a box office of over 100 million yuan, and "Ghost Street" starring Michelle Pfeiffer had a global box office of 80 million US dollars, which are all big-selling works.
...
Universal Pictures releases "New Wizard of Oz", which tells the story of a twenty-four-year-old school teacher who accidentally enters Oz and goes to Emerald City to find his way home with the help of Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion.
"The Wizard of Oz" is a well-known fairy tale book in America. Its first edition was launched in 1900. In the following decades, this book became popular all over the world and was warmly welcomed. It was selected as the "Ten Greatest Children's Works in America" by the America Children's Literature Association and is also one of the [Best Children's Books] that is grandly recommended by the America National Education Society.
Hollywood also noticed the charm of this book early in the morning and brought it to the screen early. The earliest version of "The Wizard of Oz" was already on the screen in 1910.
The most famous version is "The Wizard of Oz" starring Judy Garland in 39 years. The movie did not achieve much good results when it was released at that time. The production cost of 2.7 million yuan was finally exchanged for a box office of 3 million yuan, which was not a big deal.
But after that, the movie was repeatedly screened on TV, and finally cultivated a large number of fans and made it a classic in film history. In 2008, the America Film Academy held a selection of the top ten best movies in the category, which defeated "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "King Kong" and so on, becoming the best fantasy movie.
"New Wizard of Oz" is a classic remake of new wine in old bottles. The most attractive thing about it is that almost all the big and small characters in the film are black people.
The heroine Doroth is starring the famous singer Diana Ross, while the Scarecrow is starring the famous singer Michael Jackson.
...
Disney Pictures' science fiction comedy "Alien Cat". The cast of this movie is very weak, and the protagonist is the cat. Although it is a science fiction film, the production cost is only five million US dollars, and there are no gorgeous special effects at all.
The audience's vision has been greatly raised by blockbusters like "Star Wars", so the box office appeal of this "Alien Cat" is probably the weakest among the six summer movies.
...
As for other film companies, naturally, there are movies released.
However, it can be seen that few can make a move. Looking at the summer movies, Ye Jin thinks that the only thing that is worth worrying about is Warner Pictures’ "Superman".
In a word, "Superman" IP has been around forty years, and this is the first time it has been moved to the big screen, so for fans, this movie is really commemorative.
Just like the movie "Warcraft" means tens of millions of Warcraft players, being able to see it on the big screen and seeing those familiar characters is enough to make people feel excited.
Second, "Superman" has the highest production funding and is a typical big-produced movie. Its two consecutive films have a total investment of about 55 million US dollars, which is much higher than the production cost of "Star Wars".
In comparison, the cost of "Grease" is only six million US dollars, the cost of "New Wizard of Oz" is only seven million US dollars, the cost of "The Wrong Heaven" is $7.5 million US dollars, and the total investment of "Atlantis' God of War" is $9 million... Each movie is not as good as "Superman".
The so-called "You get what you pay for". "Superman" dares to burn so much money, and the quality is definitely extraordinary, so Ye Jin is very worried about it. Especially in July, it has not yet been scheduled, which is really a big deal.
