"Mr. Ye, I think we can buy an old film company. Lai Ying-jeou, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Acquire an old film company?" Ye Jianren raised his eyebrows and asked, suddenly interested.

"That's right, buying an established film company, it can give us a lot of benefits. Lai Ying-jeou said slowly, "First, you can get some film shooting equipment. In the past, the equipment used by the company to shoot movies was rented, and if the company wanted to become bigger, the necessary equipment was indispensable. Second, it is possible to harvest film practitioners who will receive the company. Third, it can show the company's strength and expand the company's reputation. ”

Since Mr. Li said so, he already had a goal in mind. Because it was in public, Ye Jianren directly called his position.

"The owner of Hip Lee Pictures recently wanted to quit the film industry and was interested in selling the company. ”

Lai Ying-jeou, apparently well prepared for the afternoon meeting, stood up and handed out a copy of the materials in his hand to each attendee, and then opened his mouth to explain:

"Xieli Film Company, like us, is an independent production company, founded by Indonesian overseas Chinese Wu Xiejian and Wu Xiehe brothers, the first to distribute Western films as the main business, in 72 began to get involved in the production business, in the past ten years to shoot 60 films, although most of them are follow-the-trend works, but there is no shortage of "After the Poison", "Registered", "Ten Strange Cases" and other good films. ”

"Xieli has two major directors, Zhang Sen and Yang Quan, most of the company's films are from these two hands, although there is no clear style, but it is better to cover a wide range of films, and any type of film can be controlled, which is a good talent. ”

"Moreover, it has a relatively complete distribution network in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, which is a big addition to our company. The Wu brothers were ready to sell Xieli because they were ready to invest their funds in the fields of shops, office leasing and sales, etc. ”

Ye Jianren flipped through the information collected by Li Ying-jeou and was surprised to find that this film company, which he had only heard of in his previous life, was so powerful.

Since 73, the local box office of the company's films has ranked among the top five in Hong Kong for six consecutive years, and in 74, 75 and 76, it has ranked third, second only to the two major cinema giants Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

"Hey, this company has also signed Zhou Runfa?" Ye Jianren said in surprise.

"That's right. Lai Ying-jeou said, "In 76, Xieli Company signed Zhou Runfa, but because Zhou Yanfa's development in movies was not very smooth, the two sides broke up peacefully in 78. ”

"Timid, only know how to follow the trend, will not innovate, and there is no treasure mountain but will not dig, no wonder it has not been big, and even in recent years, it has been suppressed by rising stars like Siyuan" Ye Jianren shook his head, "Mr. Li, find an opportunity to contact Xieli." ”

As for the benefits of acquiring established companies in the industry, Ye Jianren, a later generation, knows much more than Lai Ying-jeou. This is not only a simple and practical benefit, but also an invisible increase in brand value. For example, when SC Tengzhong Heavy Industries was rumored to acquire Hummer, it suddenly made this little-known company world-famous. And Geely's acquisition of Volvo, not to mention.

If their company can really win Xieli, the benefits will definitely be huge.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Ye Jianren asked.

After a long time, no one spoke out again, and it seems that everyone is really running out of skills.

"Alright, that's all for today's meeting. Ye Jianren said, "The meeting is adjourned, Director Shen stays for a while, and everyone else can leave." ”

The rest of the people packed up their things and left one after another, and in the end, only Shen Chengdong reluctantly stayed, his senses for Ye Jianren were very complicated, three points of hatred, seven points of fear, and he really didn't want to face him alone.

"Director Shen has been here for two days, and he is still used to it?" asked Ye Jianren kindly.

"It's okay. Shen Chengdong replied absentmindedly.

"I know you have a grudge against me, but if you think about it, I haven't done anything to you, but I have suffered because of you. Ye Jianren paused and said, "You played a bitter scene for the sake of newspaper sales, which caused me and Deng Darong to turn against each other, and I just asked you to resign from the newspaper and come to our company as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department." You may think that this position is not as good as that of the editor-in-chief of the Morning Post, but it is not. As you heard just now, one of my films, from the preparation to the completion of the filming, earned 15 million in less than two months. If it is a year, how much is the income? I am still in the case of the company's establishment not long ago, and when it develops in the future, it may not be worse than Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. And now that the film industry in Hong Kong is in a period of rapid development, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. It is conceivable that your future development in our company will be a hundred times stronger than staying in a small newspaper like "Morning Post"!"

After listening to Ye Jianren's words, Shen Chengdong calmed down and thought about it, and found that Ye Jianren really didn't seem to be sorry for him. As for the quarrel between him and his wife, it was destined to happen from the moment he took his wife out, and Ye Jianren could only be regarded as a fuse at most.

"I know that some of the words that night may have offended you, but I hope you will forgive me for the different positions at that time. Ye Jianren said sincerely, "You signed a loan shark with the club because you lost your gambling card a while ago, and you had to let your wife sell herself to pay off the debt." It just so happened that the boss of that club was familiar with my senior brother, so I asked my senior brother to come forward, pay off the debt, and ransom your wife. ”

"Mr. Ye, you ......" Shen Chengdong looked at Ye Jianren excitedly, he didn't expect that Ye Jianren not only did not target him and embarrass him, but took the initiative to pay off his gambling debts.

"I heard that your wife used to be a music teacher, but she was fired because she didn't go to work for more than a week?" asked Ye Jianren.

"That's right. Shen Chengdong nodded.

"Well, let her come to work in our company, it just so happens that I lack a secretary. Ye Jianren patted Shen Chengdong's shoulder and said, "It's okay for you husband and wife to get along more and repair your relationship." ”

The secretary and the personal assistant feel similar, but in fact there is still a big difference, and to use a less appropriate example, it is the difference between the housekeeper and the maid below. Before, because the company was not very standardized, Bai Caiwei even did the secretary's thing.

"Thank you Mr. Ye, I will definitely do my best for the company in the future. Shen Chengdong said gratefully, he didn't expect Ye Jianren to care so much about his personal life, and do his best to help solve difficulties, how could such a good boss not be effective?

Ye Jianren smiled slightly, expressing his satisfaction, now that Shen Chengdong is already an employee of his company, he naturally has to win over and serve the company as much as possible, and he can't let him feel resentful, otherwise it will not be good to stab himself at a critical time.

But this is only the superficial reason, as for the deeper reasons, of course, it is more convenient to get Li Ruolan to his side, especially when his husband is still an employee of his own company. Playing with his subordinate's wife, well, this plot that only exists in RB movies is about to become a reality, and it's exciting to think about!
