Chapter 349 Mergers and Acquisitions(1/2)
What else could He Gui say when he heard this? Liu Kun took the phone and said: "He Gui, you are a person with status now. Although you are not in Kyoto, I know that your upper-level influence is still very great.
."
"Everyone knows what happened to your ex-wives. Besides, you haven't let your wives officially meet with me yet, right?"
"You don't have parents for a long time. As a teacher, I am your elder. There are some things that you should go out of your way to do. Find an opportunity to gather all your ex-wives and let's have a meal together."
When He Gui heard this, he said, "Teacher, I am a little shy here."
"How come you can't figure it out? Even if you make a big show of it, the media won't get any news. You're also giving your women a place. You hide your head and show your tail. Don't you think your women are aggrieved?
Liu Kun continued.
He Gui somewhat understood what the teacher meant. He could keep a low profile, but his woman should be known to others.
"But it's hard to do it now."
"Then wait for the full moon wine, wait for Liu Ru's child to be full moon, you invite me, invite Liu Ru's teacher, and then bring out several of your ex-wife's children to show off, then everything that should come will come." Liu Kun
suggested.
He Gui thought about it for a while and felt that Liu Kun's move seemed to have a very deep meaning...but he had not figured out the specific meaning yet.
"Okay, I will listen to the teacher." He Gui could only say that he was not at a good level and could not understand this kind of microsecond relationship.
The matter has been put aside, and now I am focusing on sprinting to manufacture parts...actually, I still do what I need to do.
——————————————————————1998————————
In mid-January 1998, He Gui came to the Hong Kong Island headquarters to handle matters. New Year's Eve was still about ten days away, and all the work that should have been completed last year was completed.
Looking back at 1997, it can be said that the whole of Southeast Asia was in a terrible situation. Bangzi ran out of foreign exchange in November last year and had to open up its own finance to obtain loans from the West. So far, Bangzi has become a financial leek of the West.
The book is even more miserable. Since the Plaza Accord, it has been harvested... and has become America's cash machine.
The same goes for Wanwan, and Xiaofei is even more miserable. There was a family separation in China, and now it's even worse.
Boss Zhang and others looked very miserable after the separation. After all, the separation had not taken place long ago and they did not have much foreign exchange.
But... this is waiting for the opportunity.
In He Gui's view, it's not a big deal. His income last year was still good.
Although semiconductor companies have been hit by the financial crisis, computer sales in Europe and the United States have surged.
Because of the carnival, there are now so many gaming teams in the United States. Internet cafe owners, young rich second generations, or simply a few friends form teams.
There are not only games such as CS and StarCraft, but also Texas Hold'em, chess, Go and other events.
Although the mobile phone business has shrunk abroad, domestic sales have soared... Although the profit is not much, Tietong users have expanded.
The shipping business has not shrunk, because African mines, various resources, coffee, etc., the ships bring textiles, machinery, etc. when they return.
The game business has also skyrocketed in Japan. Due to the financial crisis, many people have lost their jobs. They live in Internet cafes and play games. They can earn some living expenses, such as earning gold coins in the magical world, completing tasks, etc.
Because the magic world controls the explosion rate, the price of gold coins has always been relatively strong...
Hong Kong Island's economy has also declined severely. As I said before, Hong Kong Island is engaged in transit trade. The economic crisis will definitely be affected. It is an indisputable fact that countless companies have gone bankrupt.
Only the employees of He's Enterprise are relatively stable, but the profits of Victoria Group and Changsheng Supermarket will definitely decline this year.
In the afternoon, He Gui met Liang Rixing in the office. When He Gui saw Liang Rixing coming, he said, "Sit down, Lao Liang, you are under a lot of pressure recently, right?"
"The financial crisis has also affected the film and television industry." Liang Rixing nodded and replied.
"In this way, increase support and start more construction. We can't control other industries, but I can still support the film and television industry. You can go down and make a special support plan. The tentative support fund will be 500 million in 1998. At worst, it will be free
TV and movie channels are available for everyone." This is why He Gui came to Liang Rixing.
The foundation of Victoria Group is still in Asia, or Southeast Asia. Now that the entire Southeast Asia economy is in recession, it will definitely be severely affected. Although it is also influential in Europe and the United States, its weight is still in Asia.
"Thank you, boss." Liang Rixing didn't expect He Gui to be willing to use the money to start work for everyone.
"We should also give more support to the good artists in Southeast Asia, Benzi and Bangzi. We can dig out those who need to be dug. In addition, we can also acquire local TV stations, movie theaters, etc. If there are too many, we can't take them out. It's okay to give you more than ten to two billion US dollars."
." He Gui continued.
"Understood, boss." Liang Rixing suddenly understood that the boss wanted to win people's hearts. At this time, Southeast Asian film and television stars were acquired together with their brokerage companies, or TV stations were acquired. This would be very beneficial to Victoria's expansion.
Liang Rixing hurriedly made plans. With billions of dollars, how many TV stations could he acquire and how many film and television stars could he poach?
On the other hand, Zhou Huihui's record company is already poaching her, but there's nothing she can do about it. People are easy to talk to. There are still many songwriters in this book, and the same goes for Wanwan.
He Gui's recruitment has always been simple and rude. First, I'll negotiate the artist's price with you. Second, if it doesn't work, the artist will come to work with me first. For all lawsuits and the like, we will file the lawsuit slowly. Anyway, the group's legal department already has people.
.
In the end, the court refused to accept the first and second trial, and they will drag you to death. This is a shameless big company. Yes, when He Gui founded Victoria, it was like this. The person in charge of wireless was so popular that he is still working today.
The contract was signed in Victoria the next day.
Litigation?
OK, increase the exposure of my artist.
Of course, some artists will never have this opportunity in their lives, such as Akina's arch-enemy...
Artists in Hong Kong have had a lot better life in recent years. At least they can buy properties. However, new artists have little savings and can only film movies.
Victoria Studio is located in Xintian. There are many group performers here, as well as many emerging artists. Fortunately, as long as you register at the studio here, you will be subsidized for food and accommodation, which means you have to pay for accommodation, but
Very few, depending on the dormitory, the price is as low as ten yuan.
Eating in the canteen is only one-third or one-fourth of the price outside. In addition, water and electricity are free if they do not exceed a certain limit. Of course, the water and electricity limit is set, which will allow the residents to save a little bit, so they do not have to pay for water and electricity.
, if you don’t save, you will have to pay.
The main reason for doing this is to avoid waste... If you get it for free, believe it or not, everything will be done for you.
In fact, it's not bad. The film and television industry only starts in September, because filming is planned before September.
The reason why He Gui did not implement seamless subsidies immediately was because he wanted to let others know how good he was.
From September to January, there was a serious shortage of work. It has been four months. Many people can no longer hold on, but it is also difficult to find jobs outside.
Liang Rixing also knew that everyone was having a difficult time. When they returned to the company, the Three Musketeers discussed it and then asked the people below to summon the people from the directing department.
There are many directors, some with scripts, some from Wanwan, those from Hong Kong Island, the Mainland, and some from Southeast Asia.
"Well, the reason why I called you here this time is because the boss has proposed a 500 million subsidy project. This year, 500 million will be allocated to everyone to make movies. Each person will have a quota. You can make whatever you want, but you must follow the requirements. No.
Don't shoot what you should shoot." Liang Rixing saw the director numbered dozens below.
This decision was made by three people, because every director has a movie in his heart that he really wants to be afraid of, but usually the company will not invest in it. Now the boss wants everyone to start more work, and the film will most likely be released for free.
, so the three of them discussed it and simply let everyone go.
As for bad movies? Haha, it’s your own face that’s going to be disgraced. If you make a bad movie and still want to get investment in the future, then the difficulty level is 5.
When the dozens of directors below heard this, they all said, "Wow, boss, what does this mean?"
"Yeah, what do you want to take pictures of?"
"Jing Jing, the boss means to subsidize the people working in the film industry so that everyone can start working and make money."
"Note, you choose the subject matter yourself, but you will know the result if it turns out to be a bad movie." Lin Xiaoming added.
When the director heard this, he was very excited. Someone asked: "500 million, there are so many of us, only one or two million each person, how can this be enough?"
"If it's not enough, don't take pictures."
"That's right. If you're not satisfied, you don't have to take the photo. This way we can all have more budget."
"Tch, the worst I can do is find someone new, and it won't be easy for you bastards."
Liang Ixing said: "Okay, get the script first and shoot first, then get the script and then shoot."
Wow!
A group of directors ran away in an instant and hurried back to prepare the script. Although Liang Rixing said that there was no limit to the subject matter, a great director could still come up with a script at will. The only one who was embarrassed by this was himself.
The Three Musketeers are still busy. They want to acquire Benzi, Wanwan, TV stations in Southeast Asia, and even movie theaters. Those are valuable targets with high cost performance.
In addition, we need to find those artists and how to find them. These are all matters.
Several departments in Victoria are working overtime tonight, which makes many unemployed people envious. Moreover, working overtime in Victoria is paid overtime... and there are also free late-night snacks.
He Gui stayed in Hong Kong Island for a few days. After finishing the matter, he went back to Kyoto directly. The Spring Festival was approaching in modern times and all companies were busy, so He Gui stopped getting involved.
There are still a lot of things to do when we return to Kyoto. We don’t have to worry about holiday arrangements anymore. We basically have the original rules.
In the early days, airlines, China Railcom, TBM manufacturers, year-end bonus programs, etc., some of them were private joint ventures, some were state-owned enterprises, and there was no expensive signature, so these bosses did not dare to set it themselves.
The shield machine factory has made a profit and won a lot of honors, and the price of our shield machine is not low. This is because of the extra services and disguised price reductions, including lower prices for accessories and lower maintenance costs.
On the contrary, Western shield machine manufacturers cannot lower their prices because Western labor is expensive.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, He Guicai finished handling the matter and took a vacation himself. Other employees at the headquarters who were not in Kyoto also had a vacation. Their air tickets had been arranged long ago.
Various companies are also on holiday one after another, and Changsheng Supermarket is crowded with people, as if they are going to a market.
Changsheng Supermarket has started its Spring Festival activities. Starting from the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, all employees will receive three salaries. After all, there are too many people, and this will last until the seventh day of the first lunar month.
In the service industry, if you don’t raise your salary higher, why should people treat customers well during the Chinese New Year?
