The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 691 Energy Industry
After agreeing to help Cheng Long and the others write a few songs to sing, after Xu Guanwu sent Hong Jingbao and others out, he shut himself in the study and reminded the servant not to come and disturb him.

The two inspirational songs "True Hero" and "Ambition in My Chest" had already been written during the Tangshan Earthquake Charity Performance, and "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" was also sung by Xu Guanjie. Boxing", "Clearly Clear My Heart", "Every Day in My Life", and "A Clear Conscience".

Xu Guanwu remembers that Cheng Long seems to have produced many songs, some are movie theme songs, some are love songs for big men, and some are duets with other singers.Although the singing voice may not be very pleasant, but because of his great reputation, it seems that the sales volume is very good.

Although Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao have not released special albums, they have also held concerts in Japan.To be honest, with their high popularity in Japan at that time, just showing up on the stage and humming a few words was enough to make the fans extremely happy, so they didn't care about what they were singing.

Xu Guanwu quickly finished writing a few songs, and then put together the few songs he had written before, and made up ten songs, enough for an album.Moreover, among these few songs, they have sung them before, such as "True Hero", "Ambition in My Chest", "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", etc., so it shouldn't be difficult to record them.

After writing the song, Xu Guanwu faxed it to Yesung Records, asking Zheng Donghan to arrange for them to record the album as soon as possible.Try to record the album well before the filming of "Food Truck", as for when it will be released, it depends on the timing.After all, no matter how good the record is, if the publicity cannot keep up, the sales will also fail.

……

In addition to helping the three brothers Hong Jingbao write songs, Xu Guanwu also gave his own guidance for the company's future development, mainly making waves in the blue chip stock market.

His previous huge fund of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, after continuous speculation, has now increased to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.Such a huge flow of funds in the stock market can really be said to be powerful and powerful.

Xu Guanwu predicts that the Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue will be officially launched next year. At that time, Hong Kong's stock market will plummet, and real estate prices will also plummet. Therefore, he is not investing in real estate like other wealthy businessmen, but is still in the stock market. The market is booming.

In addition, Xu Guanwu also allocated a sum of funds to acquire shares in oil, natural gas, copper, iron ore and other resource companies abroad.Because he knows that the development of future society is inseparable from resources, human resources, land resources, mineral resources, forest resources, water resources and so on.

Among them, mineral resources are the only non-renewable energy, and the price in the future can only be higher and higher.Xu Guanwu remembers that when the state-owned assets were restructured in the Mainland, many private coal mine owners made a fortune through this.However, there are many shady scenes in private coal mines, and Xu Guanwu does not want to get involved in such a dark business.Oil etc. are more to his taste.

Xu Guanwen and others were very puzzled by Xu Guanwu's sudden investment in resources.Although energy prices are rising now, the rate of price increase is far less than that of real estate, not to mention Xu's current entertainment business.Moreover, energy investment has slow results, high cost, and high risk. It is really not an industry that Xu should get involved in.

However, Xu Guanwu knew that Hong Kong films would collapse, because with the rise of the mainland, the expansion of the mainland market, and the development of mainland entertainment, Hong Kong's status will inevitably be replaced by the mainland.Even if it does not decline like the previous life, but as the so-called sailing against the current does not advance, when the mainland market rises rapidly, the slower-growing Hong Kong entertainment industry is bound to be gradually abandoned by the mainland. This is an inevitable historical development.

Although American movies will continue to flourish, it is too far away for Xu.Xu's has always been a film and television company rooted in the Chinese-speaking circle. Even if it acquires 20th Century Fox, it is impossible to completely transform into an American film company.Hong Kong and Hollywood are absolutely two worlds, with very different cultures and histories, as well as fundamentally different company cultures. If Xu moved to the United States, he would definitely not be acclimatized.And if you stick to Hong Kong, you will face the reality of the gradual decline of Hong Kong's economy and culture.As for entering the mainland, although it is a road, it is not easy to go smoothly.

In Hong Kong, politics is politics, entertainment is entertainment, and the two are very different.Even Sir Shao was once awarded a medal by the Queen of England and conferred the title of knight.But he remains aloof from politics.But politics and entertainment in the Mainland are often inseparable, and the combination is still very close.

For example, if the Xu family wants to enter the mainland, they must first learn and change their culture. The way of doing things that was popular in Hong Kong before may not be suitable for the mainland.Therefore, it is not a simple matter for Xu's to successfully integrate into the mainland.Xu Guanwu thought that by the new century, his older generation would retire and be replaced by a young general.Whether they can inherit the contacts they have laid in the mainland, whether they can actively expand their contacts, and open up the mainland market is still unknown.

Therefore, in order to ensure the survival of the Xu Group, it is absolutely necessary to invest in the energy industry now.In the next hundred years, resources such as oil, natural gas, and ore cannot be completely replaced, which makes their value only increase steadily.Maybe there will be a landslide after climbing to a high level, but the price is definitely higher than the current price.

Moreover, if they succeed in becoming a tycoon in the energy industry, Xu's Group will truly have its own foundation, and it will be ranked number one among the aristocratic families from now on.In the past, the Xu family mainly seized human resources and attracted a large number of people by relying on newspapers, magazines, TV stations, theaters, etc. Although the Xu family made a lot of money, the foundation was not solid.Because popularity is actually fluid, it may be more popular and popular now, and the wind direction may change in the next era.

In the 60s and 70s, Shaw Brothers was also the leader, but in the 80s and 20s, the popularity began to decline sharply?Therefore, it is difficult to simply engage in entertainment business for a long time. Even giants such as 30th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures are hard to be popular. If Xu's business is limited to the entertainment business, Xu Guanwu can guarantee the company's long-term prosperity in the next [-] years. But once he gets old, he can no longer give advice to his younger generation. I'm afraid the Xu family will be destroyed within ten years.

And if it enters the energy industry and owns scarce resources such as oil, natural gas, ore, Xu's will not have to worry about declining.As long as human beings do not solve the problem of energy shortage, the Xu family will not be able to survive for a day.This is a road that Xu Guanwu paved the way for future generations. Although few people can understand it now, he still does it.

……

Just when Xu Guanwu was arranging funds to acquire foreign oil and gas fields, ore companies, etc., Chen Qili from Taiwan called him and informed him of the investigation into Zhenhongkun's case.Now it has been found out that Zhen Hongkun brought drugs into Japan with himself, and his drugs were actually brought over from Taiwan. At the same time, the hair examination also found that he had a history of drug use for more than two years.And the person who instigated it behind the scenes probably controlled Zhen Hongkun with the help of a poisonous X.

As for Zhen Hongkun's death by injecting poison, whether it was caused by his own overdose or because someone injected him with poison has not yet been ascertained.It's just that there are no footprints or fingerprints of the second person in the room, and there are no traces of fighting or struggling.

Currently, Chen Qili is investigating the source of Zhenhongkun's poisonous X. Since it was brought to Japan in Taiwan, it means that someone in Taiwan supplied the poisonous X to him, and it is very likely that he has been supplied with it for two years.In Hong Kong, the Bamboo Union Gang knows all those who have been exposed to drugs.Whether it's the demolition of the house above or the horse boy below, the Bamboo Union Gang can basically understand a thing or two, because they themselves also have poison.It's just that they don't sell their drugs to the main island of Taiwan, but use Taiwan as a transit station, and sell them back to South Korea, the United States, Canada and other places.

After Xu Guanwu listened to the report, although he knew that the instigator behind Zhenhongkun had not been found out, he should be able to quickly find Zhenhongkun's supplier of drug X from the drug X, and thus find out the source of Zhenhongkun's drug funds. Where did it come from.After all, the cost of smoking X for two years is quite a lot, without hundreds of thousands or even millions, it seems that it is impossible to supply.

"Continue to investigate, we must find out the truth." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Is there any difficulty in funding, do you want me to provide you with a sum of money?"

"No, it's just a little thing. When you're done, just treat me to a meal." Chen Qili laughed, and then told Xu Guanwu that Zhulian Real Estate Company, which he invested in, had already started to enter Taipei, Kaohsiung, Keelung and other places, because The name of Bamboo Union is already well-known in Taiwan, and it can smell thirty miles away against the wind.Therefore, the new company did not dare to choose a name related to Zhulian, and finally Zhang Anle proposed to name it Taolue Real Estate Company.

Xu Guanwu didn't really care what his name was, he didn't have any opinion whether it was Taolue or Zhulian.The most important thing is that the company can make money the best.Taiwan's economy has also been growing in the past two years. It is estimated that the tide of real estate development will soon come. By then, the designated housing prices in key cities such as Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Keelung will soar rapidly.Xu Guanwu really wanted to make a lot of money through this, and also let Taiwan compatriots know that money in the mainland is not so easy to earn.

In the previous life, many Taiwanese-funded enterprises entered the mainland to develop. After earning money, they returned to Taiwan to engage in Taiwan independence. It sounds really exciting. Now Xu Guanwu wants to cut their wool in advance to see if they dare to be blind.

……

After chatting with Chen Qili, Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, looked at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and arranged for a servant to prepare dinner.Because he was eating by himself, Xu Guanwu didn't ask for so much, he just wanted to fill his stomach.

Sitting at the dining table alone to eat, thinking that there was always someone with him before, he couldn't help but feel sore in his heart.After barely finishing his meal, Xu Guanwu sat back in front of the sofa and turned on the TV, just in time to broadcast entertainment news.

One of them immediately caught his attention. Directed by Xu Ke, produced by Siyuan Film Company and distributed by Golden Harvest Films, "The First Type of Danger" was banned by the Hong Kong government because the subject matter was too dark and aroused great resentment from the society. In the future, it is not allowed to be released in theaters, nor can it be dubbed into video tapes for sale.

Seeing this news, Xu Guanwu's first reaction was that Xu Ke was playing big again.Last time "No Doors to Hell" drew criticism because the subject matter was too dark. Unexpectedly, "The First Type of Danger" did not learn its lesson this time, and even combined bombing incidents with juvenile crimes, and the story was so bloody. Violence, no wonder it arouses disgust among Hong Kong citizens.

But to be honest, "The First Danger" is indeed a good movie, no matter the performance of the actors, the layout of the story, or the rhythm of the movie, they are all first-class.It's just because the subject matter is too dark, it's like peeling open the scars for people to see, and people will naturally be disgusted.

Regardless of whether the society is really as dark and ruthless as the movie says, people will still choose to escape from reality instead of facing reality squarely.Xu Ke only sees the dark side of society, but not the dark side of people's hearts. No wonder his films have not been selling well.

In fact, his later "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Swordsman", "Huang Feihong" and so on also used the past to satirize the present, but because Xu Ke learned to use kung fu and beauties to package, he cut his own ideas into pieces In order to mix in the movie, everyone accepted it as expected.
