Chapter 316: Dawn is established
The studio meeting lasted three days, but it didn't come up with anything that really worked. Xu Wangqiu knew that this matter should be like the previous life, and it would not come to fruition until 1986. Finally, the central slapper will merge the film and television.
During the meeting, Su Yun of Dongying Studio and Sun Changcheng of Zhuying Studio specially approached Xu Wangqiu, hoping to cooperate with export companies. The two studios handed over the scripts to the export companies, but both were rejected by the art center, and none of them passed the censorship.
Xu Wangqiu agreed to the request of the two factory directors, and at the same time proposed that their factory select young people to cooperate with the crew to participate in the whole process from script creation to post-production of the film.
The lack of excellent genre film directors is a major problem facing Chinese films now and in the future. Originally, this problem should be solved by Nortel, but the concept of art supremacy now rules Nortel, and the teachers teach the new wave and new realism, and Nortel's students can't make excellent commercial films at all.
Xu Wangqiu can only be brought through export companies, or even Hollywood film companies, and then cultivate a group of directors who understand the process of the film industry and can make high-quality genre films, so as to alleviate the problem that China cannot make excellent commercial films.
A few days later, Xu Wangchuan returned from Rongcheng. Xu Wangchuan's trip to Rongcheng was very smooth, and the show studio did not set up any obstacles, and agreed to Xu Wangchuan's request very happily. "Falcon" brought more than 20 million profits to Xiuying Studio, and they also counted on continuing to cooperate with export companies, and they didn't dare to offend Xu Wangqiu at all.
came with Xu Wangchuan, as well as his three subordinates, two men and one woman. These three were his most powerful and loyal subordinates in the labor service company.
The labor service company's cave business is booming, and many people in the company see the opportunity to make money. After they became familiar with the business and process of going to the cave, they left the labor service company one after another, became the head of the cave and started the business of going to the cave. Even most of Xu Wangchuan's iron buddies left him and started their own acupuncture.
The three brought by Xu Wangchuan this time are not double-minded, and they have been working in the company in a down-to-earth manner.
Among them, the one named Zhang Zhiliang, Xu Wangqiu is more familiar, he is a classmate of Factory 132, and Xu Wangchuan is a classmate, and the two are iron buddies. The one named Qiu Lei, Xu Wangqiu has met a few times and knows that he and Xu Wangchuan are comrades-in-arms. After Xu Wangchuan contracted the labor service company, he pulled Qiu Lei into the company. The remaining woman is named Liu Ying, in her fifties, and was originally the finance of the Hongguang Electron Tube Factory. Since her son is an unemployed young man, she can't even talk about the object, so in order to solve her son's work, she let her son take her own class. After Xu Wangchuan contracted the labor service company, in order to take the financial power into his own hands, he specially reported the recruitment finance. During the interview, Liu Ying defeated many opponents and became the financial officer of the labor service company.
After Xu Wangchuan and the four of them came to Beiping, they lived in the courtyard of Xu Wangqiu's house. Due to the limited room, Liu Ying could only live in one room, and Xu Wangchuan and the three of them were crammed into one room.
Xu Wangqiu said to Xu Wangchuan that the company will be established soon, and when the time comes, we will recruit more than 10 people, and the accommodation problem cannot be ignored, and it is best to buy a courtyard house as a collective dormitory for everyone to live in; and when the company is on the right track, we will buy land to repair the company's staff dormitory.
Xu Wangchuan felt that this was reasonable, but he was not too familiar with Beiping City, so he entrusted this matter to Su Bai.
In the next month or so, Xu Wangqiu worked in the company, and Xu Wangchuan registered a company called "Shuguang" with the help of Chen Cunxian. The name was chosen by Xu Wangqiu, who hoped that the company would not become a comprador like Lianxiang, but would become a ray of light in China's technology field, and at the same time, he also hoped to use the power of dawn to dispel the dark 90s of Chinese films.
After the company was registered, Xu Wangchuan went to the Public Security Bureau to engrave a round official seal, opened an account with the People's Bank of China, got a mailbox number from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, applied for a telephone number at the Telecommunications Bureau, and rented a two-story small building next to the famous Yibin Building on Baiyi Road as the company's office space.
On April 29th, the signboard of Shuguang was officially hung on the wall of the company's small building, becoming the second private enterprise in Zhongguancun after Chen Cunxian's Huaxia New Technology Development Institute.
From the perspective of later generations, the signboard of Shuguang Company is extremely simple, and it is impossible to see that it is a technology company at all. However, it is now 1983, and the vast majority of people in China are still wearing blue clothes, and the recruitment of Shuguang Company has been very popular.
After the signboard of Shuguang Company was hung up, it aroused the curiosity of residents near Baiyi Road, and they came to inquire about what this company does. After hearing that Shuguang was a subsidiary of Xiuying Studio, which was mainly engaged in the computer business, they were all stunned. Xiuying Studio is obviously a film factory, and it is not good at making movies, but it comes to work on computers, which is just nonsense!
Wang Hongde is a researcher at the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in 1979, he saw that the educated youth of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were moving bricks and mixing cement on a cold day, which was too bitter. As a computer room design expert and technical consultant, he led the educated youth of the Educated Youth Society to return to the city to engage in the engineering design and installation of computer rooms all over the country, earning more than 600,000 yuan that year. As a result, he has not yet been dealt with, and the unit wants to investigate him, saying that he is operating illegally and asking him to confess the facts of economic crimes. Although the investigation team finally proved Wang Hongde's innocence, he was also a little chilled by this incident.
In recent days, under the influence of Chen Cunxian's entrepreneurship, Wang Hongde has been thinking about whether he should come out to start a business and specialize in computer room business. Now that he heard about the establishment of Shuguang Company, he finally made up his mind. Other film studios dare to come out and run computer companies, and I, a computer expert, have nothing to be afraid of.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Hongde came to the office of the director of the computer department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and issued a far-reaching five-walk declaration: "I have decided to leave the computer institute from tomorrow, and it is best if the leadership agrees that I will be hired." If you can't hire and leave, borrow it! If you can't borrow it, transfer it away! If you can't resign, you can fire me!"
Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangchuan were immersed in the joy of the establishment of the company, and they didn't know about it, let alone that the establishment of Shuguang had aroused the courage of countless people in the computer institute to come out and start a business. Other film studios dare to come out and run computer companies, and those of us who are engaged in computers have nothing to be afraid of.
In order to celebrate the establishment of the company, Xu Wangqiu and they went to Quanjude for dinner that night. Xu Wangqiu didn't forget his little sister and called Xu Wangbei out of school. Everyone had a happy meal, and then returned to Xu Wangqiu's house to discuss the company's next work.
Xu Wangchuan exhaled lightly, looked at Zhang Zhiliang and them, and said with a smile: "Our dawn is officially established. We have taken the first step of the long march inward, and the next road is still very long, and we need to go down step by step. I've always told you that Sugon makes electronic components, but that's not true, what we're going to do is not electronic components, but computers and computer hardware. Do you know what a computer is?"
Qiu Lei nodded: "Who doesn't know the computer, it's the one used for accounting! I heard that the purchase from Lingnan is almost two yuan a piece, and it can be sold for six or seven yuan when it is sold in Rongcheng, which is about the same as an electronic watch." ”
Xu Wangbei, who was whispering to Su Bai next to him, heard this and burst out laughing. Su Bai also thought it was funny, but she controlled herself and didn't laugh out loud. Xu Wangqiu couldn't help it.
Xu Wangchuan laughed and said: "Qiu Lei, you are uneducated, it is a calculator, not a computer." ”
Qiu Lei said curiously: "Isn't this the same thing, isn't it different?"
Xu Wangchuan explained with a smile: "That's a big difference, it's not a thing at all. A calculator costs a few dollars a piece, while a small computer costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and a large one sells for several million or tens of millions. That kind of large-scale computer is mainly used in the military, national defense, oil exploration and other fields. It was not easy for our country to build an atomic bomb in the first place, and it was necessary to calculate a huge amount of data to build an atomic bomb. At that time, we only had two computers, one for them to develop nuclear weapons, and the other for the Seventh Aircraft Department to develop aircraft and rockets. Since there is only one computer, and there is too much data to calculate, many times it has to be calculated with an abacus. We're not doing mainframes, and we don't have the ability to do that, we're going to do minicomputers and minicomputer hardware. ”
Zhang Zhiliang said with some skepticism: "This thing sounds high-tech, can we do this kind of thing at the same level?"
Xu Wangchuan said confidently: "The computer is indeed high-tech, but it is not for you to do research, let you research one." We will invite experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to help us develop them, and we are mainly responsible for assembly, production and sales. If you want to assemble, produce and sell, you must still know a little computer knowledge, if you don't understand anything, let you get it, you will definitely not be able to do it. In the past few days, Chen Cunxian and they are helping us interview and recruit people, and when we recruit enough people, we will invite computer experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to give you a class for half a year. ”
When Zhang Zhiliang heard this, his head grew big: "Wangchuan, you know me." I'm stupid, I'm not reading material, I'll forget it! I'll just give you a hand. ”
Xu Wangchuan raised his voice when he heard this: "No, there is no room for bargaining in this matter, you must learn it, and it is not good to learn it well." To be honest, I'm not a reading material, but I know very well that times have changed, and the era of being regarded as a hero has passed, and the era of relying on brains and knowledge to eat has arrived. Taizong didn't say it, science and technology are the primary productive forces. I am also for your good, you may complain about me now, but you will be grateful to me in the future. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Wangqiu told me that there is a foreigner named Radish in the United States, who is not a few years older than us. He opened a computer company a few years ago, and in a few years, he made hundreds of millions. The people who ran the company with them all became multimillionaires, even billionaires......"
Xu Wangbei felt strange when he first heard "shredded radish", how could anyone call this name, and only after hearing it did he know who Xu Wangchuan was talking about, and said with a forced smile: "Sister Su Bai, the eldest brother said that Jobs was shredded radish." ”
Su Bai waved his hand at Xu Wangbei and said in a low voice: "Big brother is the leader, if you have anything to say, don't say it in front of his subordinates, otherwise it will affect his prestige." ”
Xu Wangchuan continued: "I don't have the ability to make everyone a multimillionaire or billionaire in a few years. But as long as you follow me and follow me well, it is completely possible to become a multimillionaire in ten or twenty years. I discussed with Wangqiu, and when you have worked in the company for five years, as long as you perform well in these five years, we will distribute shares to everyone. However, you are the shareholders of the company, and you can pay dividends from the company every year. ”
Although the joint-stock system is a new thing, Zhang Zhiliang still knows it. Two years ago, Rongcheng established Shudu Building Co., Ltd. to publicly issue shares, and everyone in Rongcheng knew about it. At this time, when they heard that after working in the company for five years, the company would issue shares to themselves, and Zhang Zhiliang and they were all bright-eyed.
