Zhang Shaojie does not gamble, and has no bad habits. Although movie investment, entertainment agency investment, and life necessities all cost money.

However, these consumptions, compared to Zhang Shaojie's speed of making money, are also a drop in the bucket. In the first half of the year, Zhang Shaojie's manuscript fee income for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" totaled more than 8 million, of which more than 4 million smashed into the stock market.

At present, this part of the profit has been considerable, and Zhang Shaojie has a market value of more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars on the stock book in the stock market alone.

In addition, the demon stock that is now named "Hanmei Enterprise" will soon be renamed "Jianing Real Estate", which is a speculative target stock that accounts for 50% of Zhang Shaojie's total investment.

The other half of the capital is based on the concept of long-term investment, holding some high-quality stocks such as HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa.

Needless to say, HSBC is the largest financier in Hong Kong and the symbol of Hong Kong's most profitable company. In the early 1980s, HSBC's annual profit was 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking first in the annual profit of Hong Kong listed companies, and 30 years later, HSBC is still the most profitable company in Hong Kong, with an annual profit of 150 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Hutchison Whampoa, a long-established foreign firm, was a very bad company before Li Ka-shing did not have a controlling stake, although it was huge, and it was known in Hong Kong for the number of subsidiaries, as many as thousands of subsidiaries. However, at this time, Hutchison Whampoa has been losing money for more than ten years, and there is no hope of turning it around through the original management.

HSBC, the majority shareholder and largest creditor of Hutchison Whampoa, lost patience and directly transferred most of its shares in Hutchison Whampoa to Li Ka-shing in installments.

The reason why Li Ka-shing was able to rejuvenate and turn Hutchison's performance around was that he slashed and killed, sold and divest a large number of its companies, and then left some assets, such as Hutchison Whampoa's shipyards, wharves, and old factories, which are burdens in the eyes of others, but Li Ka-shing demolished those dilapidated wharves, factories, and shipyards for real estate development.

A few years later, after Hutchison Whampoa became a real estate core enterprise, its performance developed rapidly, from a loss of hundreds of millions of yuan a year, and gradually became a triple jump growth of no loss, earning millions, earning 100 million, earning hundreds of millions, earning billions a year, earning tens of billions a year, and becoming a giant in the Hong Kong business community in the next 30 years.

Since then, Hutchison has gradually ventured into various industries such as telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and retail with the huge profits earned by real estate. It can be said that in 1980, Li Ka-shing bought Hutchison shortly after he became the owner, and compared with the purchase of Microsoft after Microsoft went public in 1986, the profits earned in the next 30 years will not be inferior at all!

Of course, the interests of Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC have skyrocketed, and that is to learn from Buffett's Coca-Cola, which has been held for decades to enjoy stable returns.

Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC, that is the future of stable financial resources.

As for the speculation in front of him, Zhang Shaojie is still mainly based on "Jianing Real Estate"!

Before the Jianing real estate case in the 80s, there were no perfect securities laws and regulations in Hong Kong, and a large number of listed companies made false accounts, falsely reported their performance, etc., to indulge the stock price, and when the stock price rose to a certain extent, the major shareholders issued new shares at sky-high prices, or reduced their own stocks to obtain huge profits!

However, Jianing Real Estate is too much to brag!

An unknown company, announced in 1981, the results can reach 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, among the listed companies in Hong Kong, only slightly lower than Hong Kong's largest rich "HSBC", and Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong and Bao Yugang's Wharf are far inferior to Jianing Real Estate.

In just three years, Chen Songqing surpassed Li Ka-shing in real estate and became the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong. Such a terrifying myth and legend was believed to be true by countless people at the time.

Even Li Ka-shing and others have praised the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and a generation of new people is better than the old.

Zhang Shaojie knew in his heart that he was a bastard who had money but didn't make money, and he was far from having as much power and network as Chen Songqing, so there was no need to expose his conspiracy with an egg or a stone. In this stock that is destined to be hyped into sky-high prices, taking the elevator and letting the bookmakers behind the scenes help them carry the sedan chair, make a lot of money in a muffled voice, and earn funds for the cultural industry that is more conducive to the future of Hong Kong, is "taken from the people and used for the people"!

___________ Longteng Entertainment Agency is now just an empty shell. However, Zhang Shaojie also spent 500,000 Hong Kong dollars a year to rent a 1,200-square-meter office building as an office of Longteng Entertainment Agency.

Now, Longteng Entertainment Brokerage Company does not have many employees.

Zhang Shaojie asked "Ming Pao Weekly" for two entertainment reporters, and Yulang International also supported a manager, which supported the company's shelf.

Zhang Shaojie is the chairman and general manager of the company, but he does not come to the company often, and Anita Mui and Shaohuai are the deputy general managers of the company, and they obviously do not come to the company often.

However, the three employees who came from the two major companies of Ming Pao and Yulang were more dedicated. Because, Zhang Shaojie's salary is still relatively high - the company's minimum monthly salary is also 3,500 Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the current salary of ordinary clerks in Hong Kong, it has been twice as high.

Prices in this era are not as expensive as they were thirty years later, and 500 yuan in Hong Kong now can barely make two people barely satisfied. After 2010, a person's food expenses in Hong Kong were at least more than 2,000 yuan, plus water, electricity, and rent, and a Hong Kong citizen who did not have his own house would have to survive at least 4,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

The monthly salary of 3,500 Hong Kong dollars in 1980 was enough for the company's three employees to work for Zhang Shaojie desperately! Of course, Zhang Shaojie's generous writing of martial arts novels and movies also amazed these staff. Everyone thinks that with Zhang Shaojie's entrepreneurial team, the company will be larger in the future, and they will be the old people of the company, and they will be able to enjoy the status of Zhuoran, which is more opportunities than in large companies such as Ming Pao and Yulang Company, which already have a certain scale

The person from Yulang International Company is named Li Jie, who looks more gloomy and has a deeper city. It's not pleasing in Yulang Company, but since he came to Longteng Entertainment Agency, he has shown a shrewd and capable side.

After meeting Zhang Shaojie, Li Jie was more respectful and said: "Chairman, this is the future management principle of Longteng Company that I have formulated. In addition, I have some thoughts on discovering and cultivating artists! ”

Zhang Shaojie got the manuscript completed by Li Jie, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

Li Jie's manuscript is very organized and rigorous. It not only stipulates the reward and punishment system for employees' commuting, leave, and attendance time, as well as rewards, fines, promotions, and dismissals in various situations. Moreover, it is also quite insightful for artist management, for example, set up multiple agent departments, each agent department, set up a director, and several agents. Every time an artist is found, there will be multiple agents to observe it, and finally the director of the brokerage department and more than 3 agents need to agree before sending the agent to negotiate and sign a contract with the artist.

Once the artist has signed a contract with the company.

The company gives contracted artists a minimum salary of 1,000 yuan per month. And responsible for the training and packaging of artists, artists are only allowed to participate in the production of various film and television dramas and records, as well as various commercial performances, advertising endorsements and other activities under the mediation of the company's agents. Any circumvention of the company's agency, cooperating with outsiders to make films, release records, advertising endorsements, and all other commercial activities will be given warnings, fines, hiding, and even prosecution

In addition, Li Jie is talking about the fact that there are many ways to make money for successful artists.

One is to earn brokerage commissions for artists' performances and commercial activities. The second is that you can negotiate with other companies to sell the artist management contract held by the company

Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but be stunned: "Is it appropriate to sell the artist's contract?" It's like treating an artist as a commodity! ”

Li Jie helped his glasses, smiled on his face, and said, "In my eyes, everything is a commodity!" Since the purpose of our company is to discover, cultivate, and package artists, and earn brokerage fees by promoting popular artists. This is equivalent to the real estate developer develops the real estate and uses the rent to make a profit. However, this kind of rent-collecting method is too slow to make money! Moreover, an artist who has been trained, the contract is in hand, and if it is sold at a price that is dozens of times, hundreds, or even thousands of times the cost of cultivating an artist, the investment capital will soon be recovered. It accelerates the company's capital turnover, and then we can use the money we earn to sign and train more new people to sell their contracts! This kind of business model is in line with my aesthetics! ”

Finally, Li Jie added: "This model of selling artists is not new. In addition to this kind of selling brokerage contracts of artists to make money, especially the Korean entertainment brokerage model, which I appreciate very much? ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Korean broker model? ”

Li Jie said with a smile: "South Korea's entertainment brokerage companies have signed contracts with artists for more than 10 years, and artists participate in various commercial activities, and 70%~80% of their income is owned by the brokerage company."

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said: "Poor stick star, he is purely a sweat slave worker, and he is exploited by the brokerage company to this extent." ”

Li Jie regretted: "It's a pity that Hong Kong artists are not as tame as Korean artists, and the brokerage commission is only 10%~20%. I suggest that the artists cultivated by the company in the future must understand the percentage of the Korean brokerage company for the artist, so that we will be grateful to our company and save the white-eyed wolf! Ha, that's right! In the future, there will be one more threat to the artist - whoever wants to disobey, I will sell him to South Korea! ”

Zhang Shaojie looked at the gloomy young man and asked curiously: "I'm curious, your growth environment, and which school you cultivated!" ”

Li Jie smiled: "My family is very simple, a few decades ago, I used to be a landlord, and of course I was a financier, because my ancestors far exceeded the financial income of modern bankers. If you lend 1 yuan, you can earn 100 yuan after 10 years, and if you don't repay it for 20 years, the interest will be more than 10,000 times the principal! It's a pity that that beautiful era is over! As for the school that cultivates a talent like me, it is a long-established 'family squatting' university."

"Garrytown? Which country? Zhang Shaojie didn't react for a while. Li Jie smiled but did not speak.
