Reborn Capital Madman

Chapter 0978 Don't get dizzy in the craze

After the movie "Togo" was released in North American theaters, the response was very satisfactory. Talking about box office performance is a cliché and has fallen into the cliché. The social effect is what Sir Gao values ​​​​today.

Although the real Togo in history completed the longest and most dangerous part of the relay transportation of serum, the media at the time gave the greatest honor to Balto, the leading dog who completed the last part of the relay transportation.

These heroic sled dogs had different fates depending on the sled teams they belonged to, but they all participated in a series of public business activities, which helped debate who was the biggest contributor.

Balto and several other sled dogs in his sled team were later auctioned off by the tourism company that sponsored the commercial event on a bid-to-bid basis, and were imprisoned in a performance venue in Los Angeles that focused on exotic business, with a little treatment.

It was miserable, but fortunately it was discovered by caring people. After some operations, it was sent to the Cleveland Zoo for retirement until it died. The body was made into a specimen and placed in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

Togo and other sled dogs in his team have also participated in a series of public business activities, but unlike Balto, they have always followed their owner Seppala. Needless to say, they are treated sincerely, and their treatment after retirement is also the same.

Unlike Balto, who had been neutered long ago, he reached the peak of his life as a dog, lived a luxurious life, and contributed to the reproduction of huskies. Until the age of 16, he suffered from joint pain and blindness.

He was tortured and euthanized by Seppala. His body was taxidermied, divided into skin and bone parts, and placed in the Wasilla Sled Dog Headquarters Museum in Alaska and the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University.

As a kind of commemoration, Balto has a statue in the Cleveland Zoo, but Togo does not have such treatment. Until now, there is still no statue of it, which is very similar to certain phenomena in human society.

In fact, in this process, it is not dogs fighting, but people fighting, and in the end it is for profit.

For example, after the movie "Togo" revived the popularity of the feat more than 60 years ago, the Alaska State Assembly passed a resolution to "bring back Balto", but the Cleveland Museum of Natural History refused to return Balto's specimens.

Seeing the ideal profit, the producer of the movie "Togo" decided to allocate a sum of funds to make up for the regrets of Togo and build a statue in a selected location. The result was an enthusiastic response, with the media reporting on it and the public discussing it enthusiastically.

There were also disagreements.

Originally, Togo's first statue was planned to be placed in New York's Madison Square Garden, because it was the Gao Consortium's own territory, eliminating all the hassle of bargaining, and future works such as cartoons, comics, etc.

It is more convenient to use the prototype of Togo.

As a result, the Alaska State Assembly, which failed to get the Balto specimen back, sent representatives to explore whether Togo's first statue could be returned to Togo's home state of Alaska.

Of course Paramount is not willing to do so. There are only so many viewers in Alaska. Should the statue of Togo be placed there to blow the wind?

Sir Gao naturally has a pattern. Don't use bean bags as food. Even if there are fewer seats in the House of Representatives, there are still two seats in the Senate. There must be civil voices behind the Alaska State Assembly's move, and it will be a big blow to the minority forces.

Speaking of which, the local simple aboriginal people are just suitable for making friends and exchanging resources for resources, so let's build two statues for Togo without any delay on either side.

To put it bluntly, compared to Pang Yalun and his ilk who play rough and high-profile ways to gain social attention, Sir Gao prefers to be gentle and quiet.

North America is so lively, and Xiangjiang, which also presented high-profile photos, naturally continues to be popular.

For this purpose, btv specially sent reporters to Toronto, Canada to photograph Sir Gao's huskies. When they arrived there, they further learned that these huskies are not just pets. They participate in sled competitions in Canada and the United States every year. For example, the most popular huskies in Alaska, the United States

Show off your skills in the popular Iditarod Sled Dog Race.

Miss Yi also appeared in person to introduce the ice and snow sports culture in North America, and mentioned that her children participated in sports such as ice hockey and skating, which really satisfied the curiosity of the people of Hong Kong about Sir Gao's family.

.

You must know that Gao Xian is currently the chairman of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Management Bureau, which has an increasingly profound influence on Hong Kong's finance. There is no doubt that he has a high position and his wife is a member of the House of Lords of the Canadian Parliament. Such a family is really embarrassing.

The outside world is interested.

However, according to Gao Xian's intention, Jiacheng, Jiaming, and Jiayuan did not appear frontally in the camera. They participated in public activities and achieved the purpose of experience. Although it is important, they must also pay attention to safety. This awareness, at least in Xiangjiang, Gao

Jazz is ahead of other rich people.

At this stage, Canada is unprecedentedly concerned about the economic benefits brought by wealthy immigrants from Hong Kong and the rise of Chinese capital. According to the blunt statement of an immigration official in the province of Alberta, Canada, every immigrant from the wealthy Hong Kong

, worth one million Canadian dollars, and similar investment results from Xiangjiang Huazi in Vancouver, which hosted the World Expo, are everywhere. As a result, each state under the federation has specially dispatched various immigration officers, investment officers, and trade officers.

, commercial officer, came to Xiangjiang to visit the Chinese capital tycoons in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the exchanges between Hong Kong and Canada are very close. Under such circumstances, Yi Huirong's appearance on the TV screen in Hong Kong is not only unobtrusive, but also invisibly promotes the cohesion of Chinese immigrants.

Of course, those who covet BTV interpreted the partnership between Gao Xian, Chairman of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Management Bureau, and Yi Huirong, a member of the Canadian House of Lords, as once again protecting BTV, and it even had more profound meanings.

Btv no longer needs to split assets in the group structure, which means that diversified operations ensure financial abundance and further increase the market value. Sir Shao officially informed Gao Xian of his final decision and wanted to take advantage of the high position to cash out and sell all the assets.

Holds half of btv shares.

In terms of business, Gao Xian can still understand Sir Shao's decision. After all, he is old, and according to the current stock market conditions, 12.3% of BTV's shares are worth about one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount.

.

What's more, Sir Shao respects the Gao family and the Yi family very much, and is willing to listen to opinions on the transaction, such as who is the right person to sell to, etc.

Sir Shao even said without any grudges that Sir Gao could arrange for a buyer. The implication was that he didn't mind the one-sided structure within BTV.

But Gao Xian is very clear-headed. At least in the next few years, Xiangjiang media will still be quite sensitive. It is not suitable for him to increase BTV's shares. How to determine a new BTV shareholder that is satisfactory to both parties is really a bit troublesome.

What surprised Gao Xian a little was that Shaw Brothers Film Company, which had sold its theaters and almost completely disbanded its team, seemed not to be planning to shut down completely yet. Fang Yihua asked if he could participate in a joint investment in Shanghua Culture's film business. No.

I don’t know if it’s a resource exchange with btv, or if it’s because of factors within the Shaw family that are not open to outsiders.

In fact, the Shaw Brothers Film Company, which has been in decline since the 1980s, has made many moves towards international development. For example, it participated in the investment of "Blade Runner", which is well-known in niche film circles, but the returns have been limited.

It was far from satisfactory, especially the movie "Taipan" in which it participated in the investment. Both word-of-mouth and box office failed. Not only did it fail to please the American market, it also received a lot of criticism from Chinese public opinion.

This shows Gao Xian's sobriety and wisdom. He promotes cultural products such as movies in Hong Kong and the mainland and pays great attention to them. In his opinion, the failure of Shaw Brothers Film Company is not unjust. Subjects like "Big Class" are very difficult to achieve.

To a large extent, it is similar to "Madame Butterfly" and "Miss Saigon", which puts Asian elements in a rather uncomfortable position.

During this period, the operation of international films was quite active. The most famous one was that the movie "The Last Emperor" was shot in the Forbidden City. Sir Gao also personally received Spielberg, who was filming the movie "Empire of the Sun" for Warner Bros., and offered him

Communication assistance was provided for filming in the Mainland, but that was all. These productions, which were higher-profile than "Tai Pan", also did not arouse Gao Xian's interest in investing and participating.

Now that Shaw Brothers Film Company wants to change its investment strategy and become a follower, Gao Xian is not unacceptable. As long as it is willing to position itself correctly and provide assistance to the implementation of the Hong Kong Development Investment Fund's strategy of supporting the development of Hong Kong's cultural industry, then

What's the harm in being more open-minded!
