The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 552 Retirement Planning

At the end of March, Xu Guanwu took his wife Zhao Yazhi and son Xu Simo to the United States to attend the Golden Globe Awards and Oscar Awards Ceremony.

Lin Qingxia is staying in Hong Kong to film "Love in a Fallen City", so she can't leave for the time being. As for her daughter Xu Sichen, she still stays in Hong Kong, and the second elder of Xu's family and confinement wife are in charge of taking care of her.

Xu Guanwu felt very guilty for not being able to go to the United States with Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter this time, and decided to make up for them next time.

The reason why Lin Qingxia did not want to go to the United States this time was not only because she wanted to film "Love in a Fallen City", but also because of jealousy.Zhao Yazhi was able to accompany Xu Guanwu on the red carpet and enjoy the cheers and applause of the crowd, but she could only stay in the hotel and watch the two show their affection in front of the camera through TV.It was too much for her to bear.So Lin Qingxia would rather not see it than see it, and she refused the opportunity to go to the United States together this time.

On the plane, Zhao Yazhi and the nanny were teasing Xiao Simo, which made him laugh non-stop.Xu Guanwu sat quietly by the side, neither reading nor eating, just sitting there quietly in a daze.

"Awu, what's wrong with you, you look sullen?" Zhao Yazhi teased her son for a long time, and when she looked up and saw Xu Guanwu sitting there, she couldn't help asking with a sigh.

"Nothing." Xu Guanwu was awakened by her question, waved his hand at Zhao Yazhi and said, "I was just thinking about something."

"I'm thinking about Qingxia's mother and daughter." Zhao Yazhi asked quietly.

At this moment, the nanny had no choice but to take Simo aside.

Xu Guanwu didn't speak, he didn't want to lie to Zhao Yazhi.

Seeing Xu Guanwu's silence, Zhao Yazhi knew that he had already acquiesced in his heart, and she couldn't help sighing again, "This time she couldn't come because of filming, and there is still a chance next time, so you don't have to take it too seriously .”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "She doesn't have time to come over this time, I'll try to make it up to them next time."

"Well, let's take our son to have a good time in the United States this time, and we should also take him to see the world more." Zhao Yazhi asked Xu Guanwu with a smile.

"Alright." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Son should see more of the world, but if you want to travel, you have to wait until I finish my business."

"Naturally, are you going to invest in any movie this time?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "American movie fans would be better off earning their money, and they would be fools if they don't. In addition to investing in filming, there is also good news from Silicon Valley that Apple Computer has completed the BETA of its graphical operating system. version tested."

"What is a graphical operating system? What's the use of it? You seem very excited?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "With a graphical operating system, a series of complicated computer instructions are saved, so that those who don't understand computer language and have never touched a computer can also operate a computer independently."

"It's so powerful." Zhao Yazhi opened her mouth wide in surprise, "In this way, the user base of the computer will expand too much."

"Yeah, computers were just playthings for geeks before, and they had to go through professional training to operate them. Once the graphical operating system is released, even people who don't understand computers can operate it. This will naturally make computers It’s time for us to make a fortune.” Xu Guanwu laughed and said, “Apple is preparing to go public this year, and I think I may become a billionaire.”

"Ten billion dollars?!" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help being taken aback, "Is it possible to make so much money?"

"Maybe, but after Apple Computer goes public, I will consider reducing some of my holdings." Xu Guanwu thought for a while, "I don't think the US government wants a computer company as big as Apple to be controlled by a foreigner. ? Such words are also detrimental to Apple’s future development.”

"Well, I don't understand business matters, and I can't help you." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and said, "But if you really have tens of billions of dollars, my son and I can consider spending some for you."

"I know, you're going to go shopping again." Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay, I will make a lot of money in preparation for Apple's listing this time, so I'll just let you squander it."

"Thank you husband, I knew you were the best for me." Zhao Yazhi said, hugged Xu Guanwu fiercely and kissed her.

Xu Guanwu smiled but felt uninterested. He felt invincible and lonely at the same time.Although Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in Hong Kong caused him some troubles from time to time, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Xu Group is now the leader of the Hong Kong film industry, and it has far exceeded the sum of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

If Xu Guanwu is willing, he can recruit all the artists from the two companies in minutes, and now they are still keeping them for a while, just to find opponents for himself and remind himself to remain competitive at all times.

Not to mention the TV stations, the combined ratings of Jiayi and Li’s two TV stations are not as high as TVB’s. TVB is already the only one in Hong Kong, and any program broadcast has a rating of more than [-] points , much stronger than Li's and Jiayi's.

And with Xu Guanwu's current net worth, he can buy both Lidi and Jiayi TV stations.It's just that they are afraid of the laws of the Hong Kong government, so they can't buy these two TV stations.

As for newspapers, the free "Daily Daily" still dominates the number one circulation, and it is also the most influential print media in Hong Kong.The circulation of each issue exceeds 50 copies, which is more than the combined circulation of "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao", "Huaqiao Daily" and other newspapers. As for the advertising revenue, it far exceeds them.With Xu Guanwu's wealth, he also bought "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and other newspapers without any effort.

In terms of magazines, "Oriental Phantom" is now the only professional film magazine in Hong Kong, with sales of about [-] copies per issue. Although it is not as good as some popular comic magazines, compared to other literary magazines, financial magazines In terms of sales, this sales volume is already very good.At the same time, its influence is also very strong. Many movie fans use "Phantom of the East" as a movie viewing guide when watching movies.

In terms of celebrities, there are hundreds of celebrities under the superstar manager company, including movie stars like the Xu Brothers, directors like Mai Jia, Hong Jingbao, Gui Zhihong, Huang Baiming, Huang Bingyao, Wang Excellent screenwriters, there are also singers such as Wenner Band, Zhang Guorong, Xu Xiaofeng... It can be called a gathering of stars.

In addition, Xinghui Art School also teaches many new people every year, and they also inject new blood into the superstar manager company, so that the company can always maintain its vitality.In addition, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant also provides many young, beautiful and dignified Miss Hong Kong for the superstar manager company.Although the Superstar Manager Company was established less than five years ago, its talent reserve has far exceeded that of Golden Harvest, even more than that of Shaw Brothers Films, which has a history of 30 years.

In terms of record companies, the sales volume of Yesheng Records is far ahead of Polygram Records, the former overlord of the Hong Kong record industry. Its star singers such as Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Guanjie, Deng Lijun, Xu Guanying, Winner Band, Zhang Guorong, etc. Famous singers in Southeast Asia sell more than 500 million records every year, with an average of more than 1 records sold every day, and singers hold concerts almost every week.As for the shows, the performances are endless.

Generally speaking, Xu's group has basically reached the top in Hong Kong now, and there is a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat, so Xu Guanwu is not interested.

Once upon a time, making money was his top priority. For this reason, he invested in Apple Computer, Microsoft, and Cheung Kong shares.But now holding the wealth of the sky in his hands, Xu Guanwu was a little at a loss.He can't spend all this money in his life, and the property he left for his children is enough for them to enjoy a lifetime comfortably.

So now money has really become less important to Xu Guanwu.If a few years ago, he would have cheered for so much money, now he just smiles.

"Azhi, after returning to Hong Kong this time, I plan to retreat to the second line." Xu Guanwu suddenly said to Zhao Yazhi.

"En?! Why?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise.

Xu Guanwu is now in the prime of his life, when he is about to show his ambitions and lead the Xu Group on a new journey, Zhao Yazhi can't accept that he actually said at this time that he would retreat to the second line.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little bored." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Now everything in the company is on the right track, even if I don't directly participate in the management, basically there will be no mistakes, so I plan to retire to the second line as a consultant. I occasionally give opinions on the company's operations, but I no longer participate in actual management. In addition, I also want to use the remaining time to do more things I want to do."

"Then what do you want to do?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously after hearing this.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I might go on a trip, publish a book, sing, or act." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, making money is really no challenge for him now, and he returns to the company every day Just signing papers, it's boring, it's not the life he wants at all.

"You want to come out to sing and film?!" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help asking in surprise, "Didn't you stop me from continuing to film before, saying that our family has enough money, so I don't need to come out to make money by acting. What? Now you are going to come out to film again?"

"I'm just saying it casually. If you really want to ask me to act, it depends on whether he can afford the salary." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "My worth is not lower than that of Cheng Long and Sanmao."

"Yes, yes, you are such a big boss filming, which director dares to direct? You should stop fantasizing." Zhao Yazhi said helplessly, "In my opinion, you may be too busy with work and too many things recently. So it makes you feel tired, this time I will accompany you in the United States to have fun and relax, and there will be nothing to do in a few days."

"No, I've really made up my mind to retire." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "We've already earned enough money, and it doesn't matter how much we earn, so why bother with money?" It’s time to compete, it’s time to do something you really want to do.”

"Then what do you really want to do?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "Wouldn't it be like those stupid kings in ancient times, wanting wine pools and meat forests or immortality?"

"Eternal life is impossible, and the life in Jiuchi Roulin is not suitable for me. In fact, I haven't thought about my life after retirement, but there are still some things I wanted to do." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Maybe Now the time has come.”

"Well, since you've made up your mind, I can't persuade you anymore." Zhao Yazhi nodded after hearing Xu Guanwu's words, "But I still want to persuade you to think again, young Retire if you are young, what do you plan to do in decades? Are you just staying at home every day and getting bored?"
