Chapter 363 - Owed Favors
Of course, it doesn't mean that the guests who attend late just don't pay attention to the host's invitation.
No matter where you are, the more heavyweight the guest, the later you will appear.
In terms of status, Michael can't be said to be the most heavyweight guest, but he can also appear near the beginning of the premiere.
But Michael just appeared early, which is also an expression of attitude and the importance of Xu Qing's invitation.
Then Xu Qing welcomed several top Hollywood stars, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and others.
The appearance of each guest caused the restlessness of the onlookers and reporters, the onlookers were huge cheers, and the reporters were clicking the shutter.
With these stars alone, onlookers and reporters felt that the premiere of "Blade" was the right time, and it was not easy to see so many big stars in normal times.
Most of the people who appeared in the front were figures in the entertainment industry, and people from politics and business appeared in the back.
In terms of status, politics and business are higher, and politics is higher than business, even in the United States, a capitalist country, a country controlled by capital.
On the surface, the status of the political circle is higher, but secretly, everyone understands.
Xu Qing invited not many guests, there are more than 20 in the entertainment industry, and more than 10 in the political and business circles.
The entertainment industry is basically Xu Qing gave the list, and the sunlight group invited it, and the sunlight group is also a quasi-first-line giant in Hollywood, and there is not much contradiction with his film and television company.
Therefore, people in the entertainment industry received an invitation from the Sunshine Group, and when they heard that Xu Qing would be present in person, they all agreed to attend.
There are also several top figures in the entertainment industry who were personally invited by Xu Qing, such as Michael, Marlon Brando and others.
People in the political and business circles were all invited by Xu Qing, and Xu Qing invited these people with his own status.
In fact, at the premiere of the movie, people from the entertainment industry should be invited, so what is the matter with inviting people from politics and business?
Unless the film is government-led, but "Blade" is completely a film made by Sunlight Films itself, which has nothing to do with the government.
So why did Xu Qing invite people from the political and business circles to attend the premiere of "Blade"?
The first is to create news value for "Blade", although in terms of topicality, the political and business circles are not as big as the entertainment industry.
But in terms of bige, the political and business circles are higher than the entertainment industry, Xu Qing wants to give "Blade" a tone through these guests, this is a bige-high movie.
Of course, just by inviting heavyweight guests, I want to improve the BI of "Blade", which is impossible, and Xu Qing will also do a series of actions to improve.
The second is that Xu Qing wants to owe favors to the invited guests from the political and business circles, hmm? Xu Qing's brain is not wit, right? He actually wants to take the initiative to owe favors to others.
And it is also the most interest-oriented, vampire-like favor in politics and business.
The reason why Xu Qing did this is very simple, since Xu Qing took over Carney Media to the present, Xu Qing has hardly owed favors to others.
This is a miracle in the business world, and anyone who grows from zero to tens of billions of dollars in net worth will owe a lot of favors.
On the way to the top of the mountain and pick the fruits of victory, you will meet many enemies who want to push you down the mountain, and you will also meet many strangers and companions who want to pull you along.
And Xu Qing, he took the cable car and reached the top of the mountain with a whoosh.
This will create a situation where his enemies will not only not decrease, but will increase.
They are envious, jealous and hateful, Lao Tzu climbed so hard, and he may not be able to reach the top of the mountain, this guy actually climbed to the top of the mountain with a chic and leisurely behavior, and countless times faster than them, and picked the fruits of victory.
It's not all enemies, some people think they can't climb to the top, they are willing to help those who have the possibility to climb the mountain, hoping that when he picks the fruits of victory and descends the mountain, he will give them a little.
But Xu Qing's behavior of taking the cable car made these people unable to help if they wanted to.
Hey, give us a chance to help.
Xu Qing went from taking over Carney Media, which was about to go bankrupt, to becoming the richest man in the world, in less than 4 years.
In four years, many people may have just turned around the losses of Carney Media, which was about to go bankrupt, but Xu Qing became the richest man in the world.
Xu Qing's wealth grew too fast, which led to a situation in which Xu Qing's network and net worth in the political and business circles were seriously mismatched.
It doesn't take time to have a matching network if you have money, it takes time, a lot of resources to build, and even a lot of tests.
Others join your network, one is to see your value, which is the most basic, you have no value, why should others form a network with you.
The second is the trust you give to others, if a person can sell others after changing hands, how can others rest assured to join your network.
Xu Qing's value is undoubtedly sufficient, the richest man in the world on the surface, and his value is huge.
But the trust given to others is insufficient, not that Xu Qing is not trustworthy, but the way the political and business circles judge the degree of trust, which is judged through cooperation again and again.
If you work together a few times, they feel that you are not a person to trust, and they will reduce the number of cooperation, or even stop cooperating.
Xu Qing's problem is that there is very little cooperation with others, and others cannot accurately judge whether Xu Qing has enough trust.
After all, trust is not something that can be truly understood through information, and some people will behave very trustworthy in some people and certain situations, but in other ways, they are not trustworthy.
For example, Xu Qing, in front of Sophia, he can definitely guarantee that the relationship between the two is absolutely trustworthy, and he will never go to the Crystal Palace.
But he couldn't promise Sophia that he would never play games, even if Xu Qing verbally assured, Sophia couldn't trust Xu Qing, because she knew that Xu Qing would definitely play games behind her back.
Well, it's not a good analogy, but you get it.
It is impossible for Xu Qing to cooperate with them for no reason, and they cannot cooperate with Xu Qing for no reason, because Xu Qing's company can develop mainly by itself and some fixed partners.
Xu Qing wanted to solve this dilemma, so he thought of a way to invite them to the premiere of "Blade", so that Xu Qing owed them a favor, so that both parties would have an excuse to cooperate.
Attending the premiere of "Blade" is a very suitable method, because Xu Qing can owe a favor, but this favor is very small and can be repaid at will.
If they use this to make Xu Qing return the favor, Xu Qing will send them a word, get out.
