Chapter 295: The assembly line of the film industry
Although the production of one more version is a temporary idea, taking the opportunity to praise Li Jianqun for his ascension is only one of the purposes, and the other purpose is to lay the foundation for the assembly line standards of the film industry that he wants.

Hollywood's film industry is relatively mature, but it is still a lot away from the assembly line, and the quality of movies will still fluctuate greatly due to different actors, different directors, and different behind-the-scenes.
How to minimize this ups and downs, no matter which actor or director you change, you can produce a work that is not top-notch, but the quality is good, and the audience sells it, is something Li Xu is currently considering.
In fact, there is a template, and Marvel has done a good job 30 years later, although it is subject to actors, it can still be standardized in other aspects.
However, that kind of template is still some distance from the film industry assembly line in Li Xu's mind, not to mention the relatively mediocre quality, and it is not as precise as a machine.
What's more, what he wants is not only the assembly line of commercial blockbusters, but also the so-called assembly line of high-quality art films.
This requires a lot of data, a lot of social surveys, and enough mathematical models.
In other words, Li Xu wants to engage in big data from now on, which is not whimsical, the information transmitted by the telephone network is indeed like the Internet, but as long as you want to collect data, you can always collect it.
And although the pace of life has begun to speed up now, it is not as fast as it will be 30 years later, and some data with a relatively long period of time is still very valuable for reference.
In the final analysis, it costs money, and it costs a lot of money, and it is not like the era of big data, which can be quickly converted into profits, and naturally no one does a loss-making business.
But Li Xu has money, time and vision, and Hollywood does have too many entanglements of interests, but if you want to spend money, it is not the same as letting him play with it. Besides, there is still an uncultivated virgin land on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which can also be tossed casually.
In addition, I believe that Oracle is very willing to take this business, Li Xu is a member of the board of directors, and Larry Ellison also has plans to go public, and he has a fax of relevant inquiries at hand.
Of course, this matter is not urgent, Li Xu is just the beginning now, and there are many data to be processed and analyzed, and it is still a road that no one has walked.
So in his plan, the entire 80s were used to lay the groundwork.
After reading those movie reviews, Gao Lihong left the office, but knocked on the door again in less than ten minutes: "Boss, Miss He is here." ”
"Ask her to come in. Li Xu responded, and then regretfully withdrew his hand from under Li's skirt.
"You're here so fast today, Arjun. After He Chaoqiong came in, Li Xu also stood up and motioned for Li Qi to pour her a cup of coffee as well.
"There were no classes this morning, so I came straight over. He Chaoqiong shrugged his shoulders, "It's you, it's Monday." ”
"The girl in the family is going to have a birthday, so I have to stay with her. Li Xu beckoned her to sit on the sofa.
"I'm starting to worry about your credits, if you don't finish your course, your face will be too ugly. He Chaoqiong sighed.
"It's great to know your heart, it turns out that you still like me. Li Xu immediately laughed.
He Chaoqiong choked for a long time and didn't speak, and Li Xu immediately changed the topic: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, I have been calculating, although my studies are a little bad, it is still no problem to graduate." ”
"Don't be left at Harvard when I graduate. He Chaoqiong snorted unconvinced.
"So what, let's not say that I don't rely on my Harvard diploma to eat, but with my current ability, it's enough for them to open up and let me graduate. Li Xu spread out his hand.
He Chaoqiong was choked up again and couldn't speak, so he had to ask after grinding his teeth, "Is there anything you called me over?"
"Two things," Li Xu held up a finger, "First of all, outside, my new secretary, how many times have you met?"
"That Mina?" He Chaoqiong raised an eyebrow, "You said before that she came from Hong Kong, and her Chinese name is Gao Lihong." ”
"yes, how's it going?" Li Xu nodded.
"She also works part-time as a bed partner?" He Chaoqiong said, glancing at Li Wei, who handed over the coffee, and the latter's face did not fluctuate.
"Not yet, it will be in the future. Li Xu shrugged, "Okay, I'll just say it, after this summer, I will send her to Berkeley to study business, and you, as a senior sister, remember to take care of one or two." ”
"That's it?" He Chaoqiong was a little surprised.
"Of course not," Li Xu laughed, "She will be your personal secretary in the future, so you have to get along with her." ”
"Oh?" He Chaoqiong frowned, "You even have to care about this?"
"I'm just installing a secretary, I can't accept this?" Li Xu made an innocent appearance, "I haven't even said anything about the distribution of personnel and financial rights." ”
He Chaoqiong pursed his lips: "Okay, whatever you want, but my secretary can't have only one." ”
"No problem," Li Xu didn't care, "Okay, the second question, from now on, you can prepare." ”
"What preparations?" asked He Chaoqiong.
"Market research or something," Li Xu picked up the cup and drank the rest of the coffee, "When the summer vacation comes, I will allocate 100 million yuan to you for investment, of course, Hong Kong dollars." ”
“1…… 100 million?" He Chaoqiong was a little confused, and he didn't understand why the topic turned to this.
"Yes, 100 million is still a bit less, I originally planned to be 300 million, but it's better to familiarize you with it first. Li Xu shrugged.
Even if He Chaoqiong is the daughter of the gambling king, she has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, and she has never held hundreds of millions of funds, even if it is only Hong Kong dollars.
"What are you going to do here?" she asked rhetorically, before adding, "Do you have investments that need to be run through me?"
"Of course not," Li Xu shook his head, "This is what you are trying to lose." ”
"Let me lose?" He Chaoqiong was even more confused.
"Yes, the investment market is ever-changing, and if you don't have enough experience and vision, you can't gain a foothold on it," Li Xu said eloquently, "and experience and vision need to be cultivated, as a newcomer to the investment market, it is common to lose tens of millions of dollars in exchange for experience." ”
After a pause, he said very stinky again: "After all, there are very few people like me who have had a keen eye since childhood. ”
It's a pity that He Chaoqiong was dazed and didn't react to this sentence at all: "So...... So what you mean is, I'm going to invest in it...... It's okay if you're done?"
"You can understand it this way, but you have to learn from the lessons, and every loss must be recorded in detail, and write down your own understanding and experience," Li Xu continued, "Moreover, this is not without restrictions, if the loss of this money can't make you grow, then I have to change someone." ”
"You don't have to worry about this," He Chaoqiong's face immediately turned cold, "If I lose so much, I can't make a difference, and I don't have the face to ask for anything." ”
"That's good. Li Xu smiled again, moved his butt and sat down, and put his hand on her thigh.
Today, He Chaoqiong is wearing a moon-white dress, a dark blue jacket, very fashionable, and looks very capable with short and medium hair, which has further cultivated her temperament in the United States.
"What are you doing!" He Chaoqiong slapped his hand.
"Show your affection, what's wrong?" Li Xu didn't have the slightest intention of retracting his hand, and even hugged her.
"How can you express your affection like this? Or do you think you bought me for 100 million Hong Kong dollars?" He Chaoqiong symbolically twisted his body and looked around, but unfortunately Li Wei had already gone out.
"First of all, it's 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and secondly, where do I say?"
He Chaoqiong didn't fight in one place, yes, he didn't say it explicitly, but you dare to say that you don't mean that?!
"It seems that you made a lot of money last year?" He Chaoqiong snorted coldly.
"yes, the deal that Occidental Petroleum acquired City Services alone cost me $70 million. Li Xu said indifferently.
Even though he has tried his best to control his emotions, He Chaoqiong still can't help but take a breath, although I don't know if the 70 million is a net profit, but those companies in Hong Kong, how many can have so much profit in a year?
She didn't know that Li Xu was already very restrained, and if she had told her that she had swept away a total of $350 million from the Hong Kong stock market last year, her expression would definitely be even more exciting.
However, in Li Xu's opinion, this result is not good.
You know, the original plan, the deal between Occidental Petroleum and City Services Company would make him a profit of $50 million, but now it is 40 percent higher, which is very surprising.
However, it is a pity that the planned Hong Kong stock market made a profit of at least 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in this wave, but finally made 1.8 billion.
This is actually nothing, no matter how well the stock market calculates, no matter how well it is done, the amount of profit is still the final say in the trading volume, and if the trading volume is not enough, it is useless to have a high expected value.
The profit of nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars is already very good, and 80% of it has been converted into US dollars, and after the HKMA insists on announcing the free floating of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, it will be converted back into Hong Kong dollars after falling 11 to 1, and how much profit will be made in and out.
There will definitely be losses, and the HKMA will not allow the US dollar to be converted at will, especially if the amount is still so huge, and it will not allow the Hong Kong dollar to fall, and it will have to be pegged to the US dollar at that time, but it is still completely okay for nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to become 3 billion to 3.5 billion.
"No wonder in Wanwan, one for $100 million, for two women back. He Chaoqiong, who kept pushing the corners of his skirt to prevent him from messing around, said this.
Li Xu, who admired her and wanted to refuse, smiled, and before he could speak, Li Qi knocked on the door: "Boss, Miss Hu is here." ”
"Let her in. Li Xu, who instantly became sitting upright, nodded.
Then, Hu Yinmeng appeared at the door in a hurry, nodded to He Chaoqiong, and threw a stack of manuscripts in front of Li Xu: "I'm done, na, this is what you said, no matter how bad I write, it doesn't matter, write it out first." ”
