Sitting by the window in a bathrobe.

Outside, the Hudson River is at night, and the boat sails over the river.

Han Chudong wanted to have a cigar, but instead thought that he still had to sleep at night, and the smell of cigars was difficult to dissipate, so he only played with a gold lighter, which was inlaid with an emerald gemstone, which can be called a handicraft.

I went through the situation of several companies verbatim, and also read the promotion plans related to Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as the rough results of the autumn recruitment of the top universities last month.

About promotion planning.

The people of Baofeng Electric are negotiating with the three shareholders to try to hold a trade-in event, and Panasonic has agreed, and Whirlpool should not have much of a problem.

Mango Toys is stocking up on the production of playsets, with four-wheel drive racing and Rubik's cubes as the main products this year.

As expected, the Rubik's Cube sold mediocre until the second half of the year, when it was dubbed "smart people's toys" and bought mainly by adults and students with challenging mindsets.

In terms of school recruitment, nearly 1,400 admission notices have been issued one after another, and from the final entry rate of other companies, about 500 to 600 interns can be attracted.

Compared with a group of old large enterprises, Mason United Group is still slightly less attractive, with a slightly higher salary and better bonuses and benefits.

There are always busy things, and Han Chudong has long been accustomed to this rhythm of life.

Since the second half of the year, he has not made some surprising moves, some entrepreneurial plans have been deliberately shelved, mainly based on precipitation and accumulation, but what he thinks of "precipitation" is not the same as others imagined, in fact, he still won some high-quality assets with long-term development potential, such as Nike and Puma, part of Adidas's equity, and Wal-Mart, General Electric, Intel's part of the equity.

Now his eyes are on the news media.

If nothing else, the CEO of News Australia is named Rupert Murdoch, and if nothing else, he thinks that the company will be a huge News Corp. in the future, and it is also the giant that will cause the surveillance scandal in the future.

The information about Australian news companies is relatively detailed, not only collecting financial report data in the past ten years, but also recording information such as acquisitions and personnel appointments and dismissals on paper.

It is indeed worth the investment, but its current layout is mainly concentrated in Australia and the United Kingdom, especially in the United Kingdom, "The Sun" and "World News" are among the most influential mainstream newspapers, Rupert Murdoch has almost taken control of these two newspapers, holding more than 40% of the shares.

The influence in Australia is not small, along with the North American expansion plan, but also won more than 10% of the "Wall Street Journal" shares, which shows that Rupert Murdoch is both ambitious and very good at business.

In addition, there are other targets to choose from, including Viacom and Warner Communications, about their details Han Chudong read carefully, and was a little jealous, mainly worried that with his own joining, there will be friction and collision with the vested interests of these companies.

If he invests money but doesn't end up having a say, it means that the investment is meaningless.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided that it would be better to start a new company, and I thought that I would talk to the consultants when I returned to Los Angeles and put the thoughts in my head for the time being.

……

I didn't go to the bar again, but I found a copy of the original "Lord of the Rings" and saw it at more than eleven o'clock.

I still remember the plot of the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings", and there is always an awkward feeling of being spoiled when reading the book, so I decisively gave up and did not plan to continue reading it.

The Internet has not yet been born, and the fun in life has been reduced by more than half, and it is forced to pick up books again.

However, there are not many works that can make Han Chudong like, he is not interested in exploring profound literature such as life, philosophy, and history, and he is not interested in business management and biographies.

Before going to bed, I even had the idea of giving a general plot framework and finding a group of authors to write books for my own amusement, and I really planned to put it into practice.

Then he thought about waiting until he was richer, and made more movies and TV series for himself, but now those TV series have long made him unbearable, and he can't find a few good dramas that suit his appetite all over Taiwan.

In this boring and boring life of the rich, in order to be happy, Han Chudong is very willing to spend money.

Next.

I sat in the dining room at eight o'clock and had breakfast with Arthur's assistant and another life secretary named Roger Berger.

Han Chudong suddenly said: "Help me register a company, called the Literary Factory, and then contact some low-level writers, rich in imagination, excellent writing, preferably the kind of ordinary writers who have undergone formal learning, focusing on fantasy, science fiction and other unorthodox genres, help them rent a special writing studio in Los Angeles, and also provide food and accommodation, the salary standard is set slightly higher, and the bonus is also high." ”

"Boss, you...... I see, you must be raising scripts for the studio, right?"

"You guessed it wrong, Arthur. I just want people to write interesting long stories and show them to me.

If I think it's good and has a market prospect, I can also help distribute and sell the script, or promote it to the writer himself. But the main thing is to meet my needs, it's more like a studio dedicated to providing me with great stories, it shouldn't be too difficult to recruit people, right?"

Roger Berger, the secretary of life, is only 26 years old this year and graduated from Yale University.

Don't look at it as just a life secretary, when recruiting, he was also a single-plank bridge, stood out from the dozens of employees in the secretary's office, and began to help Han Chudong deal with some trivial matters in life.

At this time, Roger interjected: "Boss, you provide accommodation and catering, pay back wages and opportunities to become famous, just these don't have to worry about not being able to recruit people, you just need to worry about too many people coming." It was difficult for the Faculty of Arts to find a suitable job, and there used to be a language student in the student union, who was a friend of mine, who wanted to be a writer, and now he should go to the magazine as an editor, write the gossip news, and help check for typos. ”

Arthur's assistant also said: "There are only a few who can become famous, you can never guess how many writers can't get an income, it's difficult to even support yourself, as long as you find the right person in charge, I believe it should be easy to build the kind of studio you want, but Mason your idea is very special, no one seems to have done this, I mean let a group of people write stories, just to show themselves." ”

"There is always a first time, and it is better than spending money on other meaningless things, and the most important thing is to be happy. There are several creators in Asia who specialize in writing about ancient martial arts and gangs, which is more to my liking, but unfortunately the speed of writing is too slow, and I am almost finished reading it......"
