Chapter 525

Yang Qing didn't know; over a meal, Chen Yuanlong had again persuaded a group of talents to come over to him.

Gangdao's entertainment circle has already been thrown into chaos by him.

Before the big capitalist Yang Qing, whether it was Shaw Brothers, Zou Wenhuai, or Xiang Qiang, they could only pick at the leftovers.

This caused many who wanted to get a piece of the action to lay down their arms.

It's not that they don't want to; it's that Azure Rainbow's current siphon effect has almost sucked all of Gangdao's talent into its pocket.

Moreover, after the economic crisis, National Peace handed over its cinema chain to Azure Rainbow Media; plus, Imperial City and the Yang Family's other real estate developments, Azure Rainbow Media unknowingly became Gangdao's largest cinema chain.

Moreover, under Chen Ziqiang's operation, East Asia's cinema system is being gradually built up by Azure Rainbow.

Azure Rainbow Media is forming a monopolistic force.

The most impressive thing is that they produce many movies of high quality.

Others, seeing this, remain silent and can only strengthen cooperation with Azure Rainbow Media; otherwise, the cinema chain's profitability will drop sharply.

In the record sector, thanks to the divine talent Huang Zhen, and the two mainstays Tan Yonglin and Shan Kou Bai Hui, development is also not bad.

However, Azure Rainbow encountered a slight mishap when filming on the Mainland.

The WanDao village committee believes that Azure Rainbow Media's stance is problematic, wants to boycott Azure Rainbow Media, and also wants to thoroughly investigate Azure Rainbow Media's various enterprises on WanDao.

Headlines' influence on WanDao is already considerable, and Yang Qing also still has a TV station.

Plus the force that Yang Rong has developed on WanDao.

A surging force immediately rushed toward the village committee.

Since the principal left, the little principal hasn't yet fully taken power; this matter was stirred up by his rival.

The enemy's enemy is a friend.

Under WanDao public opinion and Yang Qing's fanning the flames, the little principal temporarily sided with Azure Rainbow.

"According to intelligence, the Yang Family Group hasn't had much interaction with the Mainland."

"This time going to the Mainland to film is also led by Yingjiang's director."

"Now Yingjiang wants to establish diplomatic relations with the rabbit."

"What do you want to do?"

"To offend a consortium with a trumped‑up charge, and offend Yingjiang?"

"Should we still develop the economy?"

"Should we still seek international support?"

"If international moviegoers find out that we blocked them from seeing good films, inconveniencing their great directors, would our international reputation still be worth it?"

The little principal's words won the support of many people.

As the two sides continually vied for power, Azure Rainbow Media fully backed the little principal.

Facing internal and external attacks, the other side soon resigned.

Consequently, the natural criticism of Azure Rainbow Media also came to an abrupt halt.

This victory let the Yang Family Group grasp an important political resource.

It also let many people see the power of media.

The Yang Family Group's influence naturally grew much larger.

Yang Rong then handed Shunfeng Express over to Long Wu.

"When the opportunity comes, you must seize it."

Having resources, you must make good use of them.

Subsequently, Yang Rong turned around and became a low‑level official, entering the political arena.

After Yang Qing found out, he even broke into a cold sweat for his father.

Your purpose is too obvious, you bastard; aren't you afraid that everyone will collectively boycott you, leaving you a low‑level official for life?

All that can be said is that this old man, though old in body, is young at heart and can still stir things up.

December 1977, many things happened.

Imperial City's Three Gods Palace was officially completed.

The Yang Family added three more properties in Zhong Huan.

The Kowloon Warehouse battle officially kicked off.

Kowloon Warehouse, as Gangdao's currently most valuable industry, can be said to have attracted a great deal of attention, but few have the ability to swallow this piece of cake.

One could even say, none.

Clearly the situation should be very clear.

But this battle turned out to be extremely fierce.

Apart from a bunch of freeloaders, Li Changjiang actually had a back‑and‑forth with Harmony and the Shipping King.

Kowloon Warehouse's stock rose from 12 dollars to 30 in less than a month.

Watching the stock price being wildly pushed up, Yang Qing couldn't help but laugh.

You-know-what, can you make it any more obvious?

Acting like a dog, you really have no lower limit.

Harmony's Niu Bi Jian, looking at his 16% stake, felt that this was earning too little.

Thereafter he began to buy Kowloon Warehouse shares at a premium of 39.

Thereafter Harmony's shares began to increase rapidly.

Li Changjiang realized the time had come for him to act.

"Put on a show, earn several times the money, it's worth it."

In just a few days, he directly moved in at a price of 55 to acquire Kowloon Warehouse.

Stocks started flowing into Li Changjiang's hands again.

His 12% stake quickly rose to 18%.

Compared to Harmony, shareholders obviously preferred money.

Harmony continued to follow up, proposing to acquire at a price of 58 yuan.

Seeing that, the shares rose again; they sold a portion and kept the rest to watch.

They fought so fiercely, it should still be able to rise…

Reluctance to sell gradually became the mainstream.

Then the three companies began to acquire with incremental price increases.

All the way until June 1978.

The price had already risen to 96.

Li Changjiang knew it was time to completely withdraw from this game.

At this point he already held 22% of the shares.

Then Li Changjiang met with Bao Chuan Wang according to the script.

On the surface, Li Changjiang sold his shares to Bao Chuan Wang at a price of 96.

In secret, Li Changjiang actually sold to Bao Chuan Wang at a price of 55.

Bao Chuan Wang thus owned 39% of Kowloon Godown's shares.

Please have Li Changjiang act, not only to let him earn money, but also to let him enter early to purchase shares.

So he also had relatively many shares.

Harmony's original intention was to sell assets, so he bought very little when the share price exceeded 60.

Niu Bijian at this time also held only 28%.

He knew it was time to use the killer move.

He directly announced to exchange shares of Zhidi Group and Harmony Group equally for shares of Kowloon Godown.

Anyone can see that Zhidi Group and Harmony Firm are now high-quality assets relative to Kowloon Godown.

But gamblers' mentality is to chase gains and cut losses.

They felt Bao Chuan Wang would still rise, so many chose to wait.

Yang Qing had arrived at Xuanwu Investment Bank at this time.

"How are the preparations?"

Lin Cong had been waiting for a long time.

"All preparations are complete."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Then let everyone take action."

Lin Cong then made a phone call.

"The plan can begin."

Then the two stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of Da Song Jin Lou, looking out at the tall buildings.

"Director Yang, can this plan succeed?"

Yang Qing did not know.

"Success depends on human effort; if successful, better; if not, we can still make a big profit."

"Doesn't it feel exciting to take a big bite out of Yinglian people?"

"With one Kowloon Godown, they pushed its market value from several billion to nearly a hundred billion; if we don't take a bite, that would be too regrettable."

At this time, Li Changjiang was paying attention to this war, Bao Chuang Wang was also paying attention to this war, and many people were paying attention.

Mai Lihao and Shen Bi were also closely monitoring Yang Qing's movements.

"Are you sure Yang Qing purchased less than 5% of the shares from the exchange?"

"Certainly, we have been watching him all along."

"Most of the shares of the major foreign firms have been transferred to the Gangdao Securities Exchange; even if Yang Qing wanted to acquire, he couldn't acquire much."

"Our preparations are very sufficient."
