Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 153 Financial Freedom!!
Lin Xingzhuo and his sister-in-law Shen Mojun chatted about the recent developments at Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry, Huying Xinghui, and the newly established Hutong Vision Group.

In addition, Sister-in-law Shen Mojun also mentioned that Zhang Jiayi and Wen Zhang made Sister Zheng from Tunzhou very happy at the birthday party.

Sister Zheng was willing to step in and coordinate with other major shareholders and leaders of China Broadcasting Corporation Asset Management Company to help Tiger Eye Vision Group fully acquire this film and television base.

Shen Mojun, the eldest sister-in-law, has already asked Xu Zhixia to draft a comprehensive acquisition plan.

…………

By 2009, CCTV's Tunzhou Cinema had lost the prosperity it enjoyed during the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "Emperor Taizong of Tang," and "Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Especially after the millennium, a nationwide boom in the construction of film and television bases emerged, with more than fifty similar "Tang City", "Han City", and "Three Kingdoms City" at their peak.

Bases like Hengdian and Wuxi have gained a market advantage by virtue of their complete industrial chain and differentiated positioning.

In contrast, Zhuozhou Film and Television City mainly features historical drama sets, has a monotonous architectural style, lacks distinctive experiential projects, and also faces problems such as aging facilities and low utilization rates.

Even though mixed-ownership reforms were implemented in the year 2000, introducing private capital, the deep-seated problems remained difficult to resolve.

In particular, the local fiscal crisis in 2008 led to the cessation of local subsidies, which accounted for one-third of the film studio's revenue.

Zhuozhou Film and Television City was already in a state of loss back then.

However, under such severe headwinds...

Zhuozhou Film and Television City stubbornly held on until 2016 when it was technically closed. It revived several times, opening and closing repeatedly, struggling until it finally closed completely in 2023, finally meeting its end!
…………

The reason why Zhuozhou Film and Television City can do sit-ups like this.

This film and television city holds special political significance within CCTV's asset system.

This is CCTV's first self-built filming base.

It was a landmark project personally approved by the former station director Yang Weiguang, responding to the call to promote the market-oriented reform of CCTV.

In 1990, an investment of 300 million yuan was made to build a 2200-mu (approximately 140 hectares) film and television base, which was then the largest in the country.

This gives Zhuozhou Film and Television City a unique advantage over other film and television bases and cities in mainland China, possessing CCTV resources that are unparalleled!

…………

In this situation, the initial plan for a full takeover was clearly a foolish move!

Shen Mojun followed Lin Xingzhuo's advice.

The equity acquisition plan was redesigned by Xu Zhixia's team.

Tiger Eye Vision Group abandoned the idea of ​​a full acquisition, instead opting for a relative controlling stake and reaching a consensus with shareholders such as Ms. Zheng to secure half of the board seats and lock in decision-making power.

At the same time, China Broadcasting Asset Management Co., Ltd. will retain its status as the major shareholder and its board seat in Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

In addition, Tiger Vision Group has also invested in allocating ten acres of land in the film and television city to establish a museum showcasing the transformation process of China Media Group.

Let Shen Mojun ask that shrewd and influential figure to use his political resources to invite several retired, powerful former station directors to cut the ribbon...

In this way, CCTV saved face, while Tiger Eye Vision Group gained substance.

…………

The two chatted for a while about the development plan of Tiger Eye Vision Group, and the topic turned to the financial information that Lin Xingzhuo sent to his sister-in-law Shen Mojun on QQ during the recording of Zhejiang TV's "Delicious Food Wins the World".

When the eldest sister-in-law Shen Mojun brought up the matter, she took the initiative to say, "By the way, regarding the Shunfa Hengye Co., Ltd. matter, I have made some improvements based on your suggestions."

Lin Xingzhu lit a Clock Tower brand cigarette and asked curiously, "Did you optimize it?"

Sister-in-law Shen Mojun said, "Fifty-five times leverage is too boring, so I increased it to one hundred times leverage."

Lin Xingzhu thought his phone was malfunctioning and he had misheard. He asked for confirmation, "One hundred times???"

Shen Mojun's languid voice came through the phone again: "Yes! Shao Meiyun helped assemble a financial team."

"The leverage was generated in Hong Kong through an off-exchange agreement, using cross-border leverage tools, and then entered the A-share market through the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) channel." Lin Xingzhuo originally thought that the 55-fold leverage he proposed was already quite bold, even crazy.

Now, even his sister-in-law, Shen Mojun, thinks he's too conservative.

This creates a dreamlike feeling where conservatives think extremists are too conservative...

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Sister-in-law, won't this attract the attention of the China Securities Regulatory Commission's Listed Company Supervision Department? Since the stock market crash last year, they've started implementing a 'penetration-based' supervision..."

Lin Xingzhuo had reviewed "Turbulent Times: 1978-2008" and had also watched the animated film "How the Economic Machine Works," which was highly recommended by Bill Gates, so he knew some basic knowledge.

On the phone, Shen Mojun, the eldest sister-in-law, said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, Director Qi of the Supervision Department is my best friend."

Lin Xingzhuo still reminded them: "Wanxiang Group is not to be trifled with either; they definitely have people in the China Securities Regulatory Commission!"

Shen Mojun continued, "Don't worry, I specially brought all the top girls from the White Horse Club to my old villa in Yan Family Garden in Shanghai for a girls' party."

"We invited Director Qi from the Listed Company Supervision Department of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Director Yu Xin from the Risk Control Department of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Ms. Sun, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Stock Exchange, Xu Yao, Secretary-General of the Asset Management Institution Supervision Department, and Ms. Zhang, Director of the Compliance Management Department of the Stock Exchange..."

Lin Xingzhuo was completely dumbfounded...

He silently stubbed out his cigarette.

They bribed the referee for that particular match, but you bribed the entire refereeing team for the league.

OK OK! !

If you play like this, I have nothing more to say.

…………

Shortly after, Lanbao Technology changed its name to Shunfa Hengye Co., Ltd., and its stock price surged by a staggering 1255.26%, becoming the top-performing stock in the A-share market in 2009!

Wanxiang Group emerged as the biggest winner of this capital feast.

Secondly, there's the coal tiger-like capital that has always followed the giant whale that is Wanxiang Group.

The coal-related Tiger Group capital is like a tiger shark, not only following the frenzied slaughter, but also taking a bite out of the backside of the giant whale, Wanxiang Group, when it was arbitrageuring and leaving.

The enraged Wanxiang Group tried several underhanded tactics, but they were all ineffective, like throwing a stone into the sea.

They are also in a critical period of transformation, and faced with this situation, they simply don't have the time or resources to deal with it, so they can only grit their teeth and accept it...

…………

Soon, Lin Xingzhuo, who provided the information, received his commission from his sister-in-law.

I saw a long string of zeros in the bank text message on my phone…

No, you just achieved financial freedom so uneventfully and without any real understanding of it?
Looking back on my past life, I was like a beast of burden, working myself to the bone, struggling to survive, only to earn a meager living.

Lin Xingzhuo felt a little sad and lost.

........................

While enjoying great success in terms of wealth, Lin Xingzhuo is facing some troubles in her acting career...

The crew of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" had a very short time filming in Tangdu. The set of the Tongtian Pagoda in Hengdian has been completed and they will soon return to Hengdian to continue filming.

In addition, the Fangyan Scenic Area in Yongkang City, which served as the filming location for the Ghost Market, has also completed the reservation and registration for the filming location.

This resulted in a very tight filming schedule for the "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" production team, with a very tight filming pace.

Lin Xingzhuo's constant retakes severely impacted the filming schedule.

Rumors even began circulating within the production crew that director Tsui Hark wanted to cut Lin Xingzhuo's scenes...
