Chapter 246 Employment Issues 1

The Li family is not actually fair within the family, at least the opportunities provided to each member are not equal. The first problem is the age problem, as far as the Li family is concerned, the eldest son is more than ten years older than the younger son, in fact, it causes a difference in the future work, when the eldest brother participates in the work, the younger brothers have not left the house, and the early or late participation in the work largely determines the imbalance of personal ability improvement and performance, for some people, this may be the most unfair place. Secondly, the abdication of the older generation of the Li family is too early, the younger ones have either just left the university gate, or are still studying in the university, and the personal problems are still unsolved, coupled with the Li family's "personal problems first and career first" attitude of life, let these novices compete with their brothers with rich work experience, and the results can be imagined! Moreover, the Li family is different from ordinary people, the family strength is too large, there are many industries under the two major departments, and all of them are industry giants, and all walks of life are very wary of them, so it is impossible for them to work in other people's companies, even if they are state-owned enterprises, they are not willing to accept them, because in people's impression, the Li family is "big and small". The combination of these reasons makes it difficult for many people to engage in the industry, but they can't be the "second ancestor", which is also absolutely impossible, and it is not welcome in the family rules, and individuals can't accept it! Even those who are older have had unpleasant experiences with employment, even less than their spouse's relatives. Of course, although it is not easy to say that employment is not fair, in addition to scientific research and social work, these young people are also engaged in business, and they have started some new industries.

Within the Li family, it has always been difficult for the younger generation to find employment, because these people are all "not good to serve", and no matter what they do, it is troublesome, which is mainly a "blank promise" made by someone who "did not choose his words" and made in order to please some people. Originally, these "checks" could not be paid, as long as the fairy headquarters did not nod, no one could help him, but now they have turned up these things from their families, so that he has no way to avoid, especially in the face of a certain lady's "lovely eyes", he has always been more afraid of his wife, and he has no choice but to compromise in front of women. Li Mengze is very fond of Liang Jiayi, this is something that the family knows, although it is not excessive, and it is also a well-known fact that he takes every child seriously. It is undeniable that the younger generation of the Li family is very hereditary or inherited, each of them has more or less inherited the character and interests of their parents, and they are also influenced by other mothers, so they can find out the shadow of the older generation, of course, small discrepancies are also normal. Li Zikang is no exception, majoring in journalism in college, and is a rare literary and artistic all-round "character" in the whole family, but for some reason, it is impossible for him to work in a general news and performing arts company, and the "blood torrent" of the Li family also makes him more willing to start his own business.

However, the fairy headquarters is not enthusiastic about investing in news and performing arts, which can be easily summarized from her repeated avoidance of entering this industry in history, and the initial investment in "No Love" is simply considered an outlier. On the other hand, although Li Mengze promised the children that "they can apply for personal entrepreneurship through the fairy headquarters", the shrewd young people understand that the fairy headquarters is not easy to talk at all, and almost no one can maintain enough confidence to invest in those guys. Zikang knows that he is two pounds, although he thinks that his ability is extraordinary, but it is impossible for the fairy headquarters to get involved in an "unfamiliar industry" for an inexperienced young man, especially for some reason to avoid suspicion, for this reason, he lobbied his father while working in a company. It can be said that in the whole family he was by far the hardest one, and luckily his hardships attracted the attention of some and triggered the revision of certain family rules, which of course only his father could decide! In early '41, the Lee family made changes to the family rules.

In the face of his son's persistent pursuit of literature and art, as a father, Li Mengze is naturally very concerned, he understands that this is an important matter related to the child's life, there are so many children, it is impossible to have the same hobbies, and he cannot be delayed because of his preferences. It is impossible for fairies to provide entrepreneurial opportunities for every family member, and their inherent rebellious thoughts will also overwhelm the fairy headquarters; Fairies are used to maintain the entire family, and it is impossible for certain individuals to do things that go against their strategy. But the Li family is different, as a family, she is the shelter of all the members of the family, and it is natural to provide them with opportunities that the enterprise cannot provide, the fairy is rich, the Li family is rich, this is a common thing; On the other hand, as a family, the Li family has a large private treasury and can do many things. Generally speaking, the ordinary expenses of the Li family are relatively large, including their own expenses, as well as the "help" expenses of some relatives and friends, and at the same time, the income is relatively large, although there are many people who spend money, but there are more talented people, because everyone's salary is mostly very high. Those who work receive pocket money from their families, and most of them hand over their salaries to their families, enriching the family's treasury and balancing the family's expenses to a certain extent, in fact, income has been higher than expenditure for many years, especially after the children have joined the workforce. Of course, the most important part of Li's private treasury is still up to tens of billions of yuan of "original funds", which is the part of the funds that Li Mengze has never used, after repeated calls and supplements, as much as more than 60 billion yuan before the economic crisis, and some more money has been earned in the gold incident, which has exceeded 70 billion so far. For more than 30 years, he has never taken profits from Xixing or Fairy, because the family funds are fully able to meet all kinds of needs, so some people have paid attention to this fund. Through internal discussions, it was decided to take measures to encourage individual entrepreneurship, "with adequate financial support from the family", and to allow these companies to be independent of Fairy or Western Star, but if they reach the corresponding size, they must be brought under the control of the two major family businesses, which at all times belong to the family business and do not belong to a single person's private property. This new regulation* has caused a lot of repercussions among the younger generation, which is equivalent to providing them with a family platform to start a business, making it possible for them to become a new generation of business founders, which is not inferior to some people's titles, especially in the eyes of some young people who are not willing to be lonely. Of course, someone doesn't think so, it's "what's there to be happy about"!

After two years of internship, Li Zikang thinks that he has the ability to start a business, the new regulations have just *, immediately began to prepare to set up his own company, after a few months of preparation, with the help of several brothers, on June 12, 41, officially founded the "West Park Entertainment Company", with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, the company is headquartered in Beijing, mainly engaged in film and song performing arts, the whole company is controlled by him alone, in order to promote the development of the company's business, specially invited many Peking University alumni, Some colleagues who had previously worked together were also invited. Although the registered capital of Xiyuan Entertainment Company is a lot, only 100 million yuan of funds, it is not a large company, compared to those large companies with assets of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of yuan, it is simply not worth mentioning, but no one dares to despise this entertainment company named after the most famous villa area in Beijing, and only the Li family's * dare not be despised by people. And the appeal of the Li family is indeed extraordinary, as soon as the company was established, there were many independent producers seeking to join, not at the end of the month, plus the original signed entertainers, Li Zi Kangde already has 6 big-name directors in his hands, plus 5 potential young singers, for a while, there is a tendency to catch up!

People know that the Li family is rich, and it is her private property to eliminate the fairy, and it is taken for granted that this company will be vigorously supported by the fairy, and with the influence of the fairy, it will be an easy thing to achieve their personal "success", which is the motivation of almost every franchisee. Even if they were told the real relationship with the fairy, they were still optimistic about the company, perhaps in their opinion, no matter what, the society would definitely deliberately associate her with the fairy, even if it was just attached to the "golden signboard" of the Li family, it was enough for the company to develop rapidly. This is normal, but it is not always true, although the company does grow rapidly for some reasons, but it is also subject to many restrictions, entrepreneurship is not always smooth sailing, and it is not long before encountering some very serious problems.

Sure enough, the development of Xiyuan Company was very smooth at the beginning, and it shot two movies that year, funded 40% of its own, a total of 72 million yuan, and finally shared 60% of the film profits. The after-tax profit reached 140 million yuan, almost twice the amount of investment; on the other hand, the five singers who signed the contract all entered the top ten in the circulation of the year, and three of them also squeezed into the top ten, especially the young male singer also occupied the third position, which also made the newly established company have good profits, the company's total profit that year reached 170 million yuan, and the entire industry was amazed. To be able to achieve such great results is related to high-quality products, and it is inextricably linked with the company's *! As soon as the company was founded, it was hyped by the press, with little advertising, and people rushed to "admire" the masterpiece, which of course was expected by the leadership, and perhaps this is exactly the effect they needed. Although the scale of Xiyuan Entertainment Company is small, it has many social advantages that large companies do not have, and its reputation has spread more and more loudly with the initial success, attracting a large number of audiences, and attracting a large number of aspiring people to join. Although some people want to get involved, the influence of fairies or the Li family in the minds of ordinary people is too great, and it is definitely not something that any company or individual can control.

People like their works, and some video stores even promote them, asking a boss why he works so hard, maybe he will get the "Lee's relief ......". The Li family's huge public opinion base surprised her opponents, which is not a good sign, they have been immersed in the entertainment industry for a long time and know the mystery better than anyone else...... At the same time, this kind of low-cost advertising works in West Park make it unbearable for them to bear the same investment, because the actual profit is too far apart! As a result, there have been many review articles, aren't you Xiyuan Entertainment very good, I'll make your reputation stink, see if you can still attract the audience, people can't appreciate the substandard "garbage"! Controversies followed, some critics criticized, others "desperate" praise, almost comparable, this phenomenon is not surprising to some people, the company has just been founded, doing a business without capital, and the market is so good, of course the opponents are red-eyed...... Naturally, they focus on quality, and on the other hand, companies like theirs, with quality, are not afraid of any wind and rain, "repay the love of society", and "all you have to do is better quality", says the critics. It is in this state that Xiyuan Entertainment Company has developed rapidly, with more and more directors, singers, and actors......

By June '42, the company's first anniversary, it already had a huge lineup of 7 contracted directors, 2 "trainee directors", 8 contracted singers and 15 standing actors. At the same time, on the basis of the previous one, they shot 6 more films, invested 230 million yuan, and the total profit of the film (including the predictable profit) exceeded 520 million yuan, and the total profit of the entire company reached 570 million yuan, becoming an "extremely rich" entertainment company. From 41 to 45 years, it is the golden period of the development of Xiyuan Entertainment Company, the profit amount has increased year by year, and if the 41 years are taken as the base point, then 42 years have reached 5.7 times, 43 years have reached 17.3 times, and 45 years have reached 140 times, the total assets have broken through the 10 billion mark, and the market value has reached 21.8 billion yuan. During this period, they have shot more than 80 films, 4 directors have won world awards, and the directors who have won domestic awards have reached double digits. At the end of 44 years, there was a grand occasion in the domestic singer list that singers (top 20) occupied half of the album release chart, and occupied half of the top ten, and even included the top three, which is simply unparalleled.

However, people also soon discovered that the development of Westpark Entertainment Company had been hindered, and the continuous rapid development seemed to have come to an end! In recent years, due to the continuous recovery of the market and the continuous growth of the economy, the literary and performing arts industry has been relatively prosperous, the annual output value is relatively large, and the profit margin is relatively high, for example, the total domestic profit in 44 years is nearly 400 billion, and the entire related industry has reached more than 650 billion, so to speak, West Park only occupies a very small share. But what people value is her investment-to-profit ratio, coupled with her extraordinary performance of being rated as "the best" almost every year, which is naturally very hated. Although the company is very appealing, but can not meet all the requirements of everyone, under the provocation of some well-intentioned people, there are discordant voices inside, and externally, the degree of public attention has also declined, and more and more people say that they are more willing to watch "standard" works. People have broken their fascination with her and transformed it into rational treatment, in a word, if they can't come up with a more high-level work, they will say "bye-bye", which is a small message. In the face of the competitive pressure of their opponents, the company's leadership gradually felt the crisis, and it seemed that an invisible net was surrounding them, and they were likely to be the fish among them!

On July 18, 45, Xiyuan Entertainment Company held a press conference, officially admitting that the incident that caused a stir in the press and the industry was "true", and that Han Yujiang, the executive deputy general manager and one of the company's veterans, had left, along with 3 senior directors and 4 famous movie stars, "This is a serious split incident"! At the press conference, Li Zikang sadly admitted his failure as the company's top leader, and said that he was "very responsible" for the departure of his classmates, friends, co-founders, and partners who jointly created a good situation for the company...... All walks of life quickly set off fierce hype, and for a while, the "Xiyuan split" became a well-known thing in the world, becoming the focus of people's discussion, and everyone almost unanimously believed that this was a "heavy blow" to the company. And that's not all, three days later, the company's three singers who were all popular "announced their job hopping" at the same time, and the company's reputation was hit hard again...... In just a few days, 11 powerful people have jumped ship, almost collectively leaving the company, which immediately makes this emerging industry outside the core industry circle of the Li family in the wind and rain, where to go, people can't help but worry about it!

The young son of the Li family, who was about to be established, did not flinch and vigorously rectified the company, but unlike the "based on its own industry" as speculated in the industry, he took the opportunity to compress the strength of the performing arts department, pumped out a large amount of funds, and bought a very influential newspaper and media in the north in Beijing in one fell swoop, owning 75% of the shares of "Jinghua Daily" Co., Ltd., and entering the media industry. For this unexpected move, it soon caused a new round of controversy, everyone noticed that the 21 billion funds used for the acquisition were not obtained from within the family or the fairy company, but directly from the bank, all the funds were paid at one time, 6 billion from their own company accounts, and 15 billion from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, "It seems that there is a tendency to break away from the Li family or the fairy." However, the focus of controversy is the attempt of this "small company" to enter the "Jinghua Daily", whether it wants to change the direction of its business, or to cooperate with the family's "northern strategy", which makes people quickly forget the adverse effects of the last split, perhaps, to some extent, the people of Beijing remember the Li family again!
