Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Of course Xu Xiaoming had to be polite. After all, the gentleman opposite him was a billionaire. It was said that he had just immigrated from the mainland and made a fortune in the stock market.

In Hong Kong, as long as one is rich, one's status is very high. Although I have achieved some results, there is still a big gap in status compared to this person.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. I also like to drink tea. Tieguanyin is a famous tea in the mainland. I would like to take this opportunity to taste it."

Xu Xiaoming was not wrong. Zhang Jialiang had to ask someone to get this Tieguanyin in Beijing at a high price, and he brought it to Hong Kong specifically for entertaining guests.

After the tea is brewed, the unique orchid fragrance of Tieguanyin hits your nose, the soup is clear and has a long aftertaste.

After two drinks, Zhang Jialiang started chatting:

"Mr. Xu, I watched the movie "Kapok Robe" you shot last year several times. It was really well shot!

In addition, your previous films Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen were also very popular in the mainland. Mr. Xu is a talented person! "

Xu Xiaoming:

"Zhang Sheng, you are praising me too much.

Hong Kong's film and television industry is very prosperous, with many good works emerging. My works are not worth mentioning."

Zhang Jialiang:

"Mr. Xu is so modest, I really admire you.

I'm sure Manager Wang has also told you the reason why I invited you. To be honest, I am very interested in the entertainment industry. I happened to have some funds in my hand, so I planned to enter the showbiz circle and start an entertainment company.

But I am a complete outsider to the entertainment industry. I am an outsider. Mr. Xu is an experienced and capable person. I hope Mr. Xu can join my company and help me build it up."

Xu Xiaoming:

“I wonder what the current status of your company is?”

Zhang Jialiang spread his hands and told the truth. There was nothing to lie about.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. The company has just been established and is still a blank slate. I am still alone. Now the company is in urgent need of talents to join, and Mr. Xu is the first person I invited."

Xu Xiaoming admired Zhang Jialiang's honesty very much, but he was still very worried because this new company had nothing.

"I wonder how much Mr. Zhang's investment budget is?"

For an entertainment company, it doesn’t matter whether the boss has experience or not, and it doesn’t matter whether the company is blank and has nothing. The most important thing is money.

As long as you have money, you can have everything. Directors, actors, screenwriters and all kinds of professional talents can be hired as long as you have money.

Zhang Jialiang held up two fingers.

"Two hundred million!"

Xu Xiaoming was shocked. He had heard from Wang Fayi that this Mr. Zhang was very rich, but he didn't expect that he was so rich and willing to invest.

Two hundred million is a huge sum of money, more than enough for an entertainment company, and a little too much.

The reason why Zhang Jialiang talked about so much money was intentional. If he wanted to build up the company quickly and attract a large number of talents, he had to demonstrate the financial strength of his company.

Planting good paulownia trees will attract the phoenix. With sufficient funds and hardware, he can impress the person he has his eyes on.

Xu Xiaoming:

"I wonder what specific plans Mr. Zhang has?"

Zhang Jialiang:

"I plan to develop the entertainment company in an all-round way. The film company includes production, distribution, theaters, etc. All these aspects must be gradually enriched and improved. In this way, the company will not be restricted by other companies."

Xu Xiaoming:

"If I join the company, I wonder what position Mr. Zhang will assign me?"

Zhang Jialiang:

"I would like to hire you as the general manager of the company. You will be fully responsible for all aspects of the company's business and will only be responsible to me."

Xu Xiaoming:

"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Zhang. This matter is too sudden. I need to think about it."

Zhang Jialiang:

"Of course, I'll give you three days. Just give me an answer within three days.

If Mr. Xu becomes the general manager of this company, how do you plan to operate this 2 million yuan fund? "

At the beginning, Zhang Jialiang was eager to recruit talents and wanted to ask Xu Xiaoming for help. After he mentioned the investment of 2 million yuan, Xu Xiaoming was tempted, and Zhang Jialiang of course saw it.

At this time, the initiative returned to Zhang Jialiang, and now his problem was a test for Xu Xiaoming.

Xu Xiaoming pondered for a while before speaking:

“I think Mr. Zhang’s 2 million yuan should be mainly spent on the construction of cinema chains. Without cinema chains, we will definitely be restricted by other companies. As for the construction of cinema chains, my suggestion is to acquire an existing cinema chain.

If the rebuilding process takes too long, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive and will affect the company’s development, so I suggest an acquisition.”

Zhang Jialiang:

“If you were asked to do it, what would you do?

Which cinema chain do you want to acquire?"

Xu Xiaoming:

“Shaw Cinemas!

Shaw Brothers' film development has not been smooth in recent years, and the number of films shot has been decreasing year by year. They have been overwhelmed by Golden Harvest and Cinema City.

In the past few years, Mr. Run Run Shaw sought to break through and join the Hollywood group, but suffered heavy losses from "Blade Runner" and "Earthbound", which led to his failure. It is said that Mr. Run Run Shaw decided to focus on developing TVB business, and the film company was no longer his main business.

This is a great opportunity to acquire Shaw Cinemas.”

As expected, no one is a fool. Shaw Brothers Films suffered heavy losses, and Run Run Shaw turned to TVB. Naturally, the film company was on the decline. Many people have observed these things.

Zhang Jialiang clapped his hands and agreed with Xu Xiaoming's suggestion. This was exactly what he thought.

"That's exactly what I wanted. Mr. Xu really has a unique vision and thinks the same as I do.

I am very satisfied with Mr. Xu and hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Time waits for no one and the company urgently needs you to join and take charge of the overall work. "

Zhang Jialiang didn't have to wait long. The next day, Wang Fayi and Xu Xiaoming gave him responses one after another, and both agreed to join.

Xu Xiaoming was appointed by Zhang Jialiang as the general manager of Brilliant Entertainment Company, while Wang Fayi became the general manager of Iceberg Investment Company.

Wang Fayi's Iceberg Investment Company was established relatively quickly. He brought two subordinates from Standard Chartered Bank and recruited three employees from outside, and the company was quickly established.

Zhang Jialiang planned to send him to Japan. Japan's economy was developing rapidly at this stage, and the Japanese stock market was extremely prosperous throughout the 80s. If one wanted to make money, Japan was definitely a good place to go.

He planned to separate the 4 million funds, 2 million of which would be invested in the Japanese stock market. More importantly, the Plaza Accord was about to come, and by then there would be a big exchange rate trend in Japan, from which a huge amount of wealth could be made, which could not be missed.

However, before Wang Fayi went to Japan, he had to go to the United States first. I remembered that Cisco seemed to have been established not long ago, so he went to see if there were any investment opportunities.

As for the film company, Xu Xiaoming began to recruit employees and rented a 500-square-meter office building near Broadcast Avenue as the company's office space.

Soon the entertainment company's structure took shape, with the finance department, production department, distribution department, administration department, audit department, human resources department, and legal department established one by one.

Among them, the production department is of course the largest, including: production team, photography team, director team, art team, recording team, technical team, editing team, and special effects team.

However, the department division has only been completed and a framework has been established. There is still a large lack of personnel. This is Xu Xiaoming's job. Just let him fill it up slowly.
