The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 354 The Seventh Person
And in this way, the candidates for the seventh person will not be limited to Xu's film company.Xu Guanwu wants people from other companies under his company to participate, so that they can be integrated more easily and ensure that all decisions can be implemented.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu's current candidate is Zheng Donghan, the manager of Yisheng Records, Lian Mosheng, the president of Tiantian Newspaper, Liu Tianci, the principal of Xinghui Art School, Ruan Muhua, the chief manager of Superstar Manager Company, and the manager of Stanley Market Research Company. Fang Jin and so on.

These are all key members of Xu's Group. Most of Xu Guanwu's business in Hong Kong is handled by these people. Xu Guanwu also appreciates their abilities very much, and they are all available talents.

However, there is only one vacancy for the seven-member team, so Xu Guanwu is a little embarrassed to choose who to choose.Hearing the question from the fourth brother Xu Guanjie now, he thought about it and decided to speak out his thoughts.

……

When Xu Guanwu said that he planned to merge Xu's film company into Xu's group, the three brothers present were not surprised at all.From their point of view, Xu's film industry and Xu Guanwu's Xu's group are already integrated, just lacking such a procedure.

The three brothers did not object at the moment, and they also believed that Xu Guanwu would give them a good price.Then Xu Guanwu put forward his candidate for the seventh person.

After hearing the candidates proposed by Xu Guanwu, the three brothers couldn't help being taken aback.It is true that these people are all qualified to enter the seven-member team, but unfortunately there is only one place, so more people are bound to be disappointed.

"Brother, which one do you think is better?" Xu Guanwu asked Xu Guanwen.

"I didn't know you had other plans at first, so I was interested in Cheng Long." Xu Guanwen smiled and said.

"I originally chose the screenwriter Huang Baiming. I think the group of seven is either a director, an actor, or a manager. There is a lack of a screenwriter. So I thought of him." Xu Guanying scratched her head and said.

"My idea is similar to that of the third brother. I chose Huang Bingyao." Xu Guanjie smiled embarrassedly.

"Then everyone first discard the person you chose before, and then re-elect now." Xu Guanwu couldn't help admiring the brothers' vision after hearing this. In fact, he planned to choose Huang Baiming at the first time.Because the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City in the previous life were so famous that even Xu Guanwu's group of seven was modeled after it.

And the Seven Monsters of New Art City worked together to make a lot of good movies, which Xu Guanwu admired very much.So I couldn't help but want to organize the Seven Monsters of New Art City again.It was mainly because of this reason that Zeng Zhiwei was able to enter the seven-member team.In fact, with his qualifications at the time, he was actually not qualified.

……

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, the four brothers began to think hard again, but these few people have their own strengths, so it is not so easy to choose them.

Xu Guanwu also thought about it for several days but couldn't come up with an answer. He always felt that the palm of his hand was also flesh, and the back of his hand was also flesh.If you choose this, you are afraid of the jealousy of the other; if you choose the other, you are afraid of the opposition.

Now he finally understands Sir Shao's difficulties, no wonder Shao's talk of reform has never been successful.Those old courtiers under his banner have been working hard for not a year or two, and they have deep feelings for each other there.How can it be so easy to attack them?

When large foreign companies encounter this kind of problem, the general practice is to replace people.A newcomer who has nothing to do with him will come on stage, and then he will be cut down drastically.Anyway, it is a newcomer, there is not much interest involved, and there is no favor to talk about, just cut off these old people, and then the people who support him will immediately take over.

Relying on this method, many companies get rid of their burdens, can go into battle lightly, and regain their vitality.However, the companies run by the Chinese are basically family businesses, and they will not invite outsiders to manage their own companies.So when the older generation is about to retire, most of the successors are their own children.For example, Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Chinese, is succeeded by his son; Sun Hung Kai Properties is also succeeded by his son; Macau gambling king Ho Hongshen's family is also succeeded by his sons and daughters...

And if the children are incapable, or don't want to take over at all, they generally don't choose outsiders to run the business, but choose to sell the company directly to others.For example, Sir Shao’s TVB, because he has no children to take over, so he would rather sell TVB; Golden Harvest’s boss Zou Wenhuai, when he is about to retire, his children are unable to manage Golden Harvest, so they are all sold to Tiantian Entertainment in the end.

However, this kind of emotional complex is relatively rare in the West. Many companies will hire professional managers to take care of it, and will not pass it on to their children.It is rare for a son to inherit his father's business.

……

"Second brother, how about choosing Mr. Liu Tianci to join the group of seven?" Xu Guanying thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "He is not only a screenwriter, but also the principal of Xinghui Art School, and he is also a TVB producer. One person represents three stores. Besides, he is the eldest brother's disciple, so there is no need to worry about him leaving."

"Liu Tianci?! He is indeed a good candidate, brother, what do you think?" Xu Guanwu nodded and asked.

"Tianci is indeed a talent, and he is absolutely qualified to be selected into the group of seven. But if in the group of seven, it is either you or my brothers or disciples, will it make other people feel alienated?! It will give people the impression of cronyism , is not a good thing." Xu Guanwen hesitated and said.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Speaking of which, Mr. Liu Tianci will be eliminated."

Everyone nodded together and continued to think about it.

"Second brother, how about inviting Zheng Donghan to join the group of seven?" Xu Guanjie suddenly suggested, "He is the manager of Yisheng Records, and Yisheng Records is also a big company now. The Polygram is poor. He definitely deserves to be part of the Seven."

"He's making music, we're making movies, will there be a mismatch?" Xu Guanying said with a frown.

"No, there is no music in the movie, isn't the music MV like a micro-movie?" Xu Guanjie waved his hand and said, "Now it's like the Wenna band's film and television song Sanqi. I don't know how popular it is. It can be seen that the singer In fact, it is possible to take care of film and television stars. Moreover, there are many famous singers under Yesung Records, and they are all very popular, which is suitable for introducing them into the film industry. With their high popularity, the movie will definitely get a good box office."

"What SAM said is very reasonable. I also think that Zheng Donghan is a good candidate. I believe that introducing him to the seven-member team will allow our movie stars and singers to develop more extensively." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

"What about the other candidates? Daily News, TVB, and the superstar manager company are also very important. TVB is not only the best publicity channel, but also a training base for talents; Daily News is the most important mouthpiece of public opinion, and it is also An important place for publicity; the superstar manager company controls all the artists under its banner, although the position is not obvious, it is the core of the center, and it cannot be ignored." After hearing this, Xu Guanying couldn't help asking.

"That's good, let's add a spectator seat, and the above-mentioned people who were not selected will all belong to the spectator seat. They have the right to listen and speak, but they do not have the right to vote." Xu Guanwen suggested.

"In this case, isn't the number of participants a bit too much? It's hard to gather all of them at once." Xu Guanwu frowned and said, "Besides, the number of participants is too large, and the difficulty of keeping secrets will increase greatly. Perhaps one of them will not Be firm, leak the content of the meeting, then we will be really out of luck."

"What the second brother thinks is that it is better to reduce the number of people as much as possible for such a high-level meeting. One more person will have one more mouth. If we leak the content of our meeting like Zeng Zhiwei and let people know our development plan, For our company, it is undoubtedly a very big loss." Xu Guanjie also nodded and said, "Just like this time, we have to stop all the current shooting plans, and the direct loss is at least more than 500 million. The indirect loss is even greater , at least more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars. If it comes a few more times, our company will not want to make a profit this year.”

"In this case, let Zheng Donghan enter the group of seven first, and let the others wait until they observe one after another." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

The three brothers agreed unanimously and approved the promotion of Zheng Donghan to the seven-member decision-making group.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu announced that he would acquire the Xu Brothers Film Company with [-] million Hong Kong dollars in cash, plus [-]% of the shares of the Xu Group.

As soon as the report came out, it caused an uproar in Hong Kong public opinion.One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is simply a sky-high price.Back then, when the Xu Brothers Company was first established, the registered capital was the 100 million Hong Kong dollars invested by Golden Harvest.

Now three years later, the market value is [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and the market value has doubled by a hundred times.Not to mention that the [-]% shares of the Xu Group are worth more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

Xu's Group owns companies such as Brilliant Cinemas, Daily News, TVB, Superstar Manager Company, and Yesung Records, with a market value of at least 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars.[-]% of the shares is [-] million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention how great the development prospects are.

The Xu brothers definitely took advantage of this deal, but Xu Guanwu didn't care about it.The Xu Group is only a small part of all his current businesses. Those that really make money, such as Cheung Kong Enterprises, Henderson Land Development, Hopewell Properties, Hollywood National Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, and Stanley Angel Investment Fund, etc. Not included in the Xu Group.And those investments are the real big ones, and they will be worth at least [-] billion U.S. dollars in the future, which is definitely an astonishing wealth.

The citizens of Hong Kong have become a little numb to the Xu family's sky-high prices time and time again.For them, a few million Hong Kong dollars may be possible to YY, but hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars is too far away.Even if you win every race when you buy a horse race, or if you win the Mark Six lottery, it will take a lot of time to earn [-] million Hong Kong dollars.So they don't even think about it, what do they think about something they can't even dream about? !
On the contrary, Xu's rivals such as Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers were a little terrified when they heard the news, because the Xu Brothers Film Company was formally merged into the Xu Group, and the cost was so huge, it showed that Xu Guanwu was about to make a big move.

And this big action involving hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars has been so extraordinary from the beginning, and it is conceivable how earth-shattering it will be after it is done. 】

Xu Guanwu's usual practice is to keep his words unsurprising. At the beginning, the free distribution of "Daily Daily" overturned the entire newspaper market in Hong Kong; increasing the benefits of screenwriters and allowing employees to participate in dividends immediately attracted many talents and broke Shaw Brothers. Talent monopoly; the cooperation system launched by the superstar manager company has attracted many film companies. Since then, Xu Brothers Film Company is no longer isolated...

The implementation of these various systems has changed the practices that have been practiced for many years and subverted the existing rules.But now Xu Guanwu obviously has new ideas, no one can guess what he plans to do next, so everyone is careful.

But then, Xu Guanwu did not make any major moves other than promoting Zheng Donghan to a new member of the seven-member team.

Xu's still made movies, released records, promoted newcomers, broadcast TV series as usual, and did not make any other major moves, which made other rival companies puzzled.
