Chapter 399 Official Debut and Clothing Brand

On August 13, Liu Zhou went to Hong Kong, where the third stop of the roadshow for the listing of Golden Harvest Group will be held.

Although Hong Kong and Shenzhen are just across the sea from each other, the capital markets of the two cities are completely different.

Pengcheng attracts more domestic industrial capital, which pays more attention to the real economy.

So when Liu Zhou went to Pengcheng for a roadshow in early August, even though Xiao Ma Ge brought people to show his support, Golden Harvest's stock was not as popular as it was in Beijing.

In their view, the film and television industry run by Golden Harvest Group is rather virtual, and its value is visible but intangible.

Although Golden Harvest also has fixed assets such as cinemas, a bunch of houses are not particularly valuable in their eyes, so they have major concerns about Golden Harvest's stocks and are a little indifferent.

To be honest, Liu Zhou was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning. Before, Jiahe’s stocks had always been enthusiastically sought after by people inside and outside the circle, but now they are suddenly somewhat cold, which also made Liu Zhou sober up a little.

But this is understandable, as some old-school businessmen are generally more conservative.

Some people still think that Internet companies are rather fake, and some even think they are scams.

Hasn't the American stock god Buffett always been pessimistic about Internet companies? He has also publicly stated that Berkshire Hathaway will not purchase stocks of Internet companies.

But this has little impact, and the Golden Harvest Group is still quite popular overall.

Just like now, Liu Zhou’s roadshow in Hong Kong has caused quite a stir in Hong Kong.

Compared with Pengcheng which mainly has industrial capital, Hong Kong has more financial capital.

Financial capital has no prejudice and they are enthusiastic about any business that can make money.

Not to mention, the Hong Kong film and television industry was well developed before, with Golden Harvest and Yongsheng both listed on the stock market one after another, and Golden Harvest’s market value exceeding 10 billion at its peak.

The value of the mainland's film and television industry is now much greater than that of Hong Kong in the past, and Golden Harvest has regained its vitality after being acquired by Liu Zhou and has become the number one in the industry.

Therefore, most investors and investment institutions in Hong Kong are very optimistic about Golden Harvest.

Not only these capitals, but even ordinary investors are very fond of Jiahe's stocks.

After Shaw Brothers closed down, Golden Harvest can be said to be the oldest film company in Hong Kong.

During the thirty years of Golden Harvest’s peak period, it brought many classic movies to Hong Kong audiences, which can be said to be the memories of a generation in Hong Kong.

When Jiahe was declining in the past, they still felt a little regretful.

But in recent years, Golden Harvest has set sail again and reached higher peaks. Although it has made more mainland films, Golden Harvest's performance is so good that they are also well-known in Hong Kong.

Now that Golden Harvest is back on the market, of course they want to buy some Golden Harvest shares, not only for sentimental reasons, but also to make money.

What makes them feel a little troublesome is that Golden Harvest is no longer listed on the Hong Kong stock market, which makes it a little more troublesome for them to buy its stocks.

When Liu Zhou came to Hong Kong, he also felt the enthusiasm here.

Not only did many partners call one after another, but many financial and entertainment media in Hong Kong also flocked to interview Liu Zhou.

However, Liu Zhou rejected all of these. He came here not for show but for serious business.

That evening, CITIC Group organized a business reception at the Peninsula Hotel.

CITIC Group has much deeper roots in Hong Kong than Liu Zhou, and its network of contacts is also wider than Liu Zhou.

But Liu Zhou is no small figure now. He is the second richest man in the mainland, and his foundation in the mainland is becoming increasingly solid.

For a billionaire, no place will be neglected.

Therefore, under the joint efforts of Liu Zhou and CITIC Group, the standards of this business reception were relatively high.

Six of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong came, and Liu Zhou also met Liu Luanxiong, who was suspected to be a reborn person, for the first time, but he now looked a little old.

On the contrary, the older Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji look energetic.

That’s right, the two Lees who are ranked top two in Hong Kong also attended the cocktail party in person this time.

Li Chaoren has a lot of investments in the mainland, and because he has been the richest man in Asia for many years, he has a huge influence in the mainland business community and is known as the godfather of business.

Even Liu Chuan from the Taishan Society had to behave as a junior in front of Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren's investment focus in recent years has been on the mainland, so he often comes to the mainland, and Liu Zhou has also met him once.

Although Li Chaoren's reputation collapsed in the mainland later, his influence at that time was unparalleled.

In Hong Kong, Li Chaoren's influence is even greater.

He is known as Li Bancheng, which not only refers to his large real estate business, but also to his powerful influence.

He himself is the richest man in Hong Kong, and he was able to support his youngest son to become one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong. His power is evident.

If it weren't for Little Superman's high expectations and poor skills, the Li Chaoren family would have become too powerful to be eliminated in Hong Kong.

As for Li Zhaoji, this was the first time Liu Zhou had seen him.

In addition to real estate business, he is also good at financial investment. He is called the "God of Stocks" by Hong Kong stock investors, and people in the industry also respectfully call him "Uncle Four".

Among the wealthy people in Hong Kong, he is the only one who can compete with Li Chaoren in wealth.

In the early and mid-1990s, the richest man in Hong Kong was Li Zhaoji. In addition to these two, the other two of the four major families in Hong Kong, Zheng and Guo, are the second generation of the family. Strictly speaking, the Guo family is the third generation, after all, the first generation founder of the Guo family died in the 1970s.

To be honest, Liu Zhou really wants to meet Shark Dantong. The Big D Club headed by him and Liu Luanxiong is also very famous in the circle.

The story inspiration of "Overheard 2" comes from them.

At this time, Xu Hengda from the mainland should have been on the list of Shark Dantong. In the following years, Xu Hengda has been following Shark Dantong and Liu Luanxiong to fight against Big D, and Evergrande Group will also begin to expand rapidly.

In addition to these people, the head of the Huo family, who has always had a good relationship with Liu Zhou, also came, that is, the diving queen's father-in-law.

In the past few years, the Huo family was in a state of turmoil due to inheritance disputes, but because of the strong legacy left by Mr. Huo, the Huo family is still the top family in Hong Kong.

In addition, there are many leaders of large investment institutions and some well-known investors.

A cocktail party of this scale is already considered the top-notch one in Hong Kong's business community.

Someone like Mr. Yang from Emperor Entertainment Group barely meets the requirements to participate.

Boss Yang may be able to call the shots in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but in the entire Hong Kong business community, he is a little bit lacking.

Hong Kong's business has been developing for more than a hundred years, and there is too much old money.

It is quite impressive that Boss Yang has been able to make his fortune in the 1980s and now has a net worth of tens of billions.

After all, at that time, all industries in Hong Kong had almost been divided up.

This cocktail party is not a roadshow, but an official appearance of Liu Zhou in the Hong Kong business community.

Liu Zhou had been to Hong Kong many times before. Apart from a few people like Boss Yang, he rarely dealt with wealthy people in other fields in Hong Kong.

Liu Zhou is quite well-known in Hong Kong, not only among ordinary people, but also among Hong Kong's wealthy class.

Liu Zhou started from scratch and achieved such success in just over ten years. He is still so young, only in his early thirties. He will be impressive wherever he goes.

If Liu Zhou were to be placed in Hong Kong, with his current wealth of hundreds of billions, he would be able to rank among the top five in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a city with highly developed commerce, and wealth represents status. Although this place is somewhat xenophobic, it is not xenophobic towards wealthy people like Liu Zhou.

What's more, as the exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland become increasingly close, many wealthy Hong Kong people have begun to go to the mainland to make a living.

But to be honest, Hong Kong's wealthy group has made considerable contributions to the development of the mainland since the reform and opening up of the mainland to the present, with Hong Kong capital.

Therefore, the influence of Hong Kong’s wealthy people is still quite large.

The reason why Liu Zhou made a high-profile appearance at this time was to make himself familiar and build some connections. He also had many investment plans in Hong Kong later.

Golden Harvest was just a small Karamei at the beginning, so Liu Zhou acquired it. Moreover, the Hong Kong film and television industry was in a recession at that time, and people didn't care much about film and television companies.

But if you suddenly get involved in other industries, it’s not that simple.

Therefore, in order to avoid being excluded in the future, Liu Zhou also needs to show his face in Hong Kong and pay his respects to the pier first.

Of course, you can also rush forward with your strength, but not only will you have to pay a greater price to do so, but your future development will also be more hindered.

This is totally unnecessary. Building good relations with the local bosses in Hong Kong does not mean being servile. It is just a way of doing things.

What's more, Liu Zhou does not have the strength to rush all the way to Hong Kong at the moment.

This time, CITIC Group helped Liu Zhou a lot. Without them, Liu Zhou alone might not be able to organize such a high-end cocktail party in Hong Kong.

After the cocktail party, Golden Harvest held its roadshow in Hong Kong the next evening.

CITIC Group can be said to have half of its home court in Hong Kong, and Golden Harvest is already quite popular, so many investment institutions and investors came.

Not only that, popular Hong Kong superstars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow and Andy Lau also came to show their support.

After the roadshow dinner ended successfully, Liu Zhou specially kept Boss Yang to stay.

The two came to the lounge, and Liu Zhou said with a smile:

"Boss Yang, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't sat down and had tea together for a long time. I don't have many friends in Hong Kong, and you are one of them. I have been wanting to catch up with you for a long time."

Boss Yang looked at Liu Zhou, who was full of vigor and vitality, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He still remembered that when he first met him, he was just a young director who had just started out.

I didn’t expect that in just a few years, I would achieve more than what I had achieved in my entire life.

At yesterday's business reception, he could only sit at the back of the table, while Liu Zhou was able to chat and laugh with the top bosses in Hong Kong.

To be honest, he was really jealous at that time.

But it was no use feeling jealous, as it was a fact that Liu Zhou far surpassed him in wealth and status.

"You are in a critical period of listing your company, so it is not appropriate to disturb your work rashly."

"Boss Yang, why are you suddenly so distant after just a few months of not seeing each other?"

"Mr. Liu, tell me, don't beat around the bush, what can I help you with?"

"Haha, Mr. Yang still understands me." Liu Zhou then stopped smiling and said seriously, "Mr. Yang, you have been in Hong Kong for so many years. Do you know any clothing brands in Hong Kong?"
