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

Movie special effects are divided into traditional special effects and digital special effects. In terms of traditional technology, Hong Kong's technology is pretty good and not far behind Hollywood. What it cannot keep up with is the development of digital special effects.

Therefore, Zhang Jialiang made great efforts and invested a lot of money in digital film special effects. He not only organized a digital film special effects department, but also specially selected personnel to go to Hollywood to learn advanced technology and experience.

In less than two years, Brilliant Entertainment's film special effects have become the best in Hong Kong, providing great support for filming.

In particular, great progress has been made in the field of martial arts and stunts. Thanks to Hong Kong's expertise in martial arts and stunts, the technology in this area is better than that of Hollywood.

As for the development of new technologies, Zhang Jialiang knows how powerful they are. Since their birth, computers have been gradually changing society and human life, and the progress will become faster and faster.

Therefore, Zhang Jialiang attached great importance to computers. With his insistence, computers were used in all office operations of the company, which greatly enhanced the company's work efficiency and allowed the company's employees to gradually come into contact with and use computers, which was considered to keep pace with the times.

In addition to the film company, Zhang Jialiang also decided to develop horizontally. The film company needs the cooperation of the media. The current media are mainly newspapers, radio stations, and television stations, and newspapers are the easiest media to start.

Zhang Jialiang spent HK$800 million to acquire a well-established medium-sized newspaper with a daily circulation of more than 2 copies, and was equipped with a printing plant and a small office building.

Zhang Jialiang acquired this newspaper mainly because he saw that although the newspaper was small, it had everything it needed, including printing, editing, and distribution, and the editor-in-chief, Cai Sixiang, was also quite capable.

It's just that the original boss didn't pay much attention to it and didn't invest much in the newspaper, which led to the development of this newspaper being restricted.

After the acquisition, Zhang Jialiang changed the name of the newspaper to "Brilliant Daily" and continued to appoint Cai Sixiang as the editor-in-chief, and then injected another 500 million yuan in funds.

In addition to the existing "Brilliant Daily" which mainly covers news information, current affairs and financial analysis, a second newspaper "Brilliant Evening News" was published.

"Brilliant Evening News" is a lifestyle newspaper focusing on entertainment gossip, horse racing, and daily life.

With financial support, Cai Sixiang vigorously increased the editorial staff and purchased new equipment to ensure the timeliness of news. At the same time, he hired outstanding employees from other newspapers to improve the overall strength of the staff.

Soon, in just three months, the circulation of "Chuican Daily" reached 3 copies, and "Chuican Evening News" reached more than 1 copies.

Since the Brilliant Daily has added a large number of staff and equipment at this stage, coupled with the creation and distribution of the Brilliant Evening News, the newspaper is still mainly invested and has not generated any economic benefits.

However, the company owns a newspaper company and two newspapers, which means it has a voice in Hong Kong, and the coordination and cooperation with Brilliant Entertainment has provided great support to Brilliant Entertainment.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was September 1987. There was a big battle to fight during this period, so Zhang Jialiang put other things aside and concentrated on gathering funds from the Japanese stock market.

Wang Fayi:

"Mr. Zhang, the funds have been collected, and the original funds are 50 billion Hong Kong dollars.

After the Plaza Accord in 85, the funds have been in the Japanese stock market. After two years, the funds have now skyrocketed to around HK$98 billion.

Zhang Jialiang:

"All funds had to be transferred to the U.S. stock market, and the company's employees were divided into five groups, each of which was assigned to one of the five largest investment banks in the U.S.: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns.

The target of the action is the US stock index, short selling with 20x leverage, and the position will be completed before October 10!

There is still a month left, so it should be okay, right? "

After hearing this, Wang Fayi was overjoyed and eager to take action. He knew that another big operation was about to begin, this time targeting the US stock market index.

"No problem. I will immediately organize the staff, assign the teams, and fly to the United States tomorrow."

Zhang Jialiang:

"Okay, I'll go there too. The amount of money involved this time is huge, and I really feel uneasy if you don't see me on the spot."

There were 5 groups, each with 5 people, plus Wang Fayi and Zhang Jialiang. A group of 27 people quickly arrived in New York, USA by plane. Then the 5 groups dispersed and checked into different hotels.

Wang Fayi led a team to Goldman Sachs, Zhang Jialiang led a team to Morgan Stanley, and the other three teams were led by their team leaders and moved into the other three major investment banks.

Each group was allocated more than 2 million US dollars, with a total of 12 billion US dollars.

The person who received Zhang Jialiang was an investment vice president of Morgan Stanley Investment Bank named John. In fact, he was just an investment manager. There are countless people in the financial industry who are just vice presidents in name only and they are not worth mentioning.

Zhang Jialiang was not familiar with English, but communicated with John through the leader of the group he led.

After negotiations, they successfully obtained 20 times leveraged financing, and then this group of people immediately started shorting the US stock index.

After doubling the leverage, each team directly holds nearly US$50 billion in funds. In order to complete the position building within a month, they would have to spend at least US$1.5 million every day.

This is a heavy, tiring and stressful job, but fortunately, professional things are done by professionals, and Zhang Jialiang does not need to participate too much in specific actions. He just needs to grasp the general direction.

The work is progressing continuously and steadily day by day. Five teams are acting at the same time, building up large positions every day. The daily work progress will be summarized and handed over to Zhang Jialiang. Zhang Jialiang is very clear about the details of the entire operation.

The work of building a position is boring. After a month, on October 10, the heavy work of building a position was finally completed and all the funds had been consumed.

Zhang Jialiang suddenly received a call from Hong Kong. It turned out that there was a charity show to be held in Hong Kong, and their company was one of the organizers.

This charity event was quite grand and the Hong Kong management agency also got involved, so Xu Xiaoming called and hoped that he could return to Hong Kong to attend the charity gala.

It just so happened that the work in the United States had just ended. Zhang Jialiang had been in the United States for so many days, but in order to keep his actions secret, he had not gone out and had been traveling between the hotel and the investment bank.

He was tired of being cooped up for a month, so he agreed to go back to Hong Kong to relax.

I informed Zhou Huimin before I came back. We hadn't seen each other for a long time and I missed her very much.

Zhou Huimin was naturally overjoyed when she found out. She went to the airport to pick him up in person, and after bringing Zhang Jialiang home, she started serving the meal she had prepared long ago.

Zhou Huimin was still the same, sitting next to Zhang Jialiang, but she didn't eat and just kept helping him pick up dishes and serve rice.

With the gentle service of the beauty, Zhang Jialiang was well fed and satisfied, and felt very relaxed.
