Chapter 137 Expansion
In order to recover the vitality of Ranfeng Cinema as soon as possible, Jiang Jianguo suggested to Jiang Ran to expand the scale of the group's security team and enhance consumers' confidence in the safety of Ranfeng Cinema.
When Jiang Ran was embarrassed by this suggestion because of the cost, Ah Sen, his personal bodyguard who had been quietly staying aside, put forward a very creative suggestion.
After Jiang Jianguo listened to Ah Sen's suggestion, his face showed a hint of joy, but then he frowned and said worriedly: "Although we can bring profits to the security team by taking over the security work of the commercial building, will there be other troubles, such as disputes with people on the road." ”
Jiang Jianguo's words made Jiang Ran have some concerns in his heart, he is a serious businessman, and the main purpose of establishing a security team is to ensure his own safety. Now taking on outside work, in a society like Hong Kong, where all walks of life may be involved with the underworld, it is indeed easy to have entanglements with the underworld.
Ah Sen thought for a moment, and then suggested: "We just participate in ordinary daily security patrols and anti-theft work, charging a small amount of money, for underworld related matters, we can help them coordinate, but not deeply involved." ”
"In addition, our business will not be too big, only operating the commercial building where Burning Feng Cinema is located, and we don't care about anything outside the commercial building. I think that with the current reputation of our security team and the current momentum of Ran Feng, as long as it does not involve big fundamental interests, ordinary people should give us a little bit of thin face. ”
After listening to Ah Sen's suggestion, Jiang Ran thought about it, and finally couldn't make up his mind, "I'll think about this matter again." ”
After Jiang Ran diverted from this topic, he discussed some countermeasures with Jiang Jianguo about the reopening of Ranfeng Cinema and the restoration of popularity.
Then after Jiang Jianguo left, Jiang Ran thought of Ah Sen's suggestion just now, thought about it, and hung up the phone to his brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, do you have time now? I have a question for your opinion. ”
Li Lixing has been very energetic these days, because this group injury incident was personally interrogated by him, which opened a breakthrough, and just today Li Junxia has given him a hint that he is going to be promoted again.
So now that he received a call from his wife and brother, Li Lixing, who was in a good mood, said very simply: "Ah Ran, say it!
Jiang Ran then told Li Lixing about the expansion of the security team of Ranfeng Group and the security work he wanted to take over some commercial buildings, "Brother-in-law, do you think there is a problem with doing this?"
Li Lixing thought for a while, and then said: "As long as the interests with the local road are properly handled, and then the case is prepared in the police force, there should be no big problem." Before you take the job, it is best to greet the local people and explain the scope of each other's affairs to them to avoid misunderstandings. ”
After Jiang Ran listened to his brother-in-law's words, he finally had a score in his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard Li Lixing say: "If you want to take on the work outside, then you need someone who is familiar with the relationship." ”
"So I suggest that when you expand your security team this time, it's best not to look for veterans from the mainland. On the one hand, after all, the British are still running Hong Kong, and you need to consider what they think. ”
"On the other hand, recruiting people from the mainland, living habits, language, etc., are alienated from Hong Kong, and you are not familiar with many of the ways in Hong Kong, which is not conducive to your security affairs. ”
After Jiang Ran heard this, he thought about it, and it was really like this.
"Brother-in-law, what do you suggest?"
"You can recruit some retired Gaza soldiers, who can speak simple Cantonese, who have military training, and who have a British background, which can reduce the mainland component of the security team. ”
"In addition, you can also recruit some people who wash their hands on the road or retire from the police force, they don't use too much, mainly to coordinate the relationship with the road, of course, confidential matters, it is better not to let these people know. ”
Jiang Ran finally accepted Li Lixing's suggestion and asked Ah Sen to start expanding the security team to 200 people. And Li Lixing also introduced a lot of people to Jiang Ran at Jiang Ran's request, after all, Ah Sen was not familiar with the Ka soldiers and other aspects.
Time passed slowly in Ranfeng's efforts to restore the popularity of various shops, and on May 10, another movie was launched.
This film, which was proposed by Jiang Ran and finally taken over by Lin Zhengying, is "Zombie Taoist", which pioneered zombie films, and Jiang Ran will also serve as the executive producer in this movie.
After the movie started, Jiang Ran didn't need to go to the set often to supervise the filming of the movie, he only needed to supervise the finances and progress of the crew. As for whether Lin Zhengying's final movie will be different from historical movies, Jiang Ran is not too worried.
On the one hand, in the preliminary preparation of the movie, Jiang Ran has almost explained what should be explained. On the other hand, every director has his own directing philosophy, Lin Zhengying has rich experience in filmmaking, and on the premise of maintaining the general framework of the film, maybe he will make some changes in the shooting, which is more suitable for the current market environment.
On this day, Jiang Ran had just returned from the crew of "Zombie Dao Chief", and was planning to continue to improve his "Chainsaw", and he had been busy with the company's affairs for a while, so much so that the preparation of this movie was delayed a lot.
It's a pity that good things are always grinding, Jiang Ran just conceived the design of a set of shots in his heart, and Le Zhiren and Gui Zecheng came over.
"Mr. Jiang, our new office building is almost renovated now, when do you think it's appropriate to move in?" Le Zhiren came in and asked directly.
"Oh, it's already been renovated so soon?" Jiang Ran asked with some surprise.
"The main reason is that this building is originally a commercial building, and the overall renovation is not difficult, and the renovation of the cinema on the first and second floors is also familiar, so the progress has been very fast. ”
Since Jiang Ran bought this building, he only went there once at the beginning. Now I heard that the building has been renovated, and I am immediately interested.
"Let's go over there. Jiang Ran put away the shooting plan at hand with great interest, stood up and said to the two.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ran and Le Zhiren came to the Jiaxin Building in Tsim Sha Tsui East. No, it should be called Burning Maple Mansion now.
After arriving at the place, there were still workers working inside, and when they saw Jiang Ran and a few people getting out of the car, some workers shouted loudly: "Mr. Lai, Mr. Lai, Mr. Jiang Ran from Ranfeng, is here." ”
"Ah! Mr. Jiang is here. With the sound, a middle-aged man with a slight fortune trotted out of the building.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, welcome to inspect the work. When Mr. Lai saw Jiang and then, he stretched out his hands from afar away and greeted him warmly.
Jiang Ran saw Mr. Lai trotting over quickly, and also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Mr. Lai's hand, and then said, "Mr. Lai is polite." I heard that the project is almost finished, so I'm going to take a look today. ”
Mr. Lai smiled with a smile on his face, let Jiang Ran lean behind, and said with a smile: "Yes." In a few days, the project will be almost complete. Mr. Jiang just took a look today, if there is anything to be improved, if there is, I will arrange someone immediately. ”
When Jiang Ran heard this, he smiled slightly, and said as he walked inside: "Let's go to the field first to see the situation." ”
"Mr. Jiang, the first and second floors of the building are planned to become a cinema, with the largest cinema hall in our Ranfeng, with a total of 700 seats, mainly considering the needs of the group's premiere in the future. ”
"Mr. Jiang, this floor is the office area of daily publishing. ”
"Mr. Jiang, this floor is mainly a functional area, a small theater for test screenings, an editing room, and a large conference room. ”
……
Jiang Ran slowly turned up from the first floor, and Gui Zecheng and Lai always accompanied him to explain to Jiang Ran. Unconsciously he has come to the top floor of the building, which is Jiang Ran's office area.
Jiang Ran looked at it on the top floor, although it felt a little luxurious, but overall he was very satisfied. In this floor, it is divided into two areas, one for work and one for living.
In the living area, it is completely decorated according to a five-star hotel, and even Jiang Ran saw a small swimming pool.
