"Okay." Yu Xue solemnly took the business card and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you have something to do with our Lishi?" ”

"I mainly want to meet Mr. Huang." Gu Weiqi nodded, turned his head and glanced at Yu Pu'an and Rong Huiwen and said, "No, I don't know where General Manager Huang's office is, so I'll let Pu'an and Huiwen help me lead me down." ”

"Oh, I see." Yu Xue understood, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Mr. Huang." ”

"It's fine." Gu Weiqi nodded, and Yu Xue turned around and trotted all the way back into the office building.

Rong Huiwen and Yu Yu'an glanced at each other, secretly admiring Yu Xue for really being able to do things.

At that time, the office building was full of people.

Gu Weiqi noticed many acquaintances, like old drama bones Cao Dahua, Dong Dart, Qingzhuang Liu Jiang, Zengjiang, Qin Ling, and Liang Xiaolong. There are also Hua Dan Yu Pu'an, Wei Haohua, Xiaosheng Wan Ziliang, Zhang Guorong, etc., who come and go, so it is not lively.

To say that although many people, including the "Lidi Sanxiong", have resigned and changed jobs, there are still many talents in Lishi. After all, it's been in business for more than 20 years, and even if it's a rotten ship, there are still three pounds of nails. What's more, the decades of beauty are sitting there, which is not a joke.

At this moment, Huang Xizhao greeted Zhong Jinghui, Zhou Liang Shuyi, Xiao Sheng, Xu Xiaoming, Li Zhuangzhuang and more than ten people.

Gu Weiqi had seen each other's photos on the Internet, and knew that the leader was Huang Xizhao, the first general manager of Lishi Chinese, so after Yu Xue's introduction, he stepped forward to hold the other party's hand as soon as possible, shook it and said with a smile: "General Manager Huang, I have admired your name for a long time!" ”

Huang Xizhao greeted and said, "Gu ...... Hello Boss Gu. ”

"Mr. Huang, you see it's going to be noon soon. Why don't you let me be the east, how about you have a light meal? ”

"It's fine." Huang Xizhao nodded and said.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xu, Ms. Zhou Liang, can we have lunch together?"

Several people looked at each other, and they all nodded and agreed.

Subsequently, Gu Weiqi led the four of them into the car, got out of Lishi, came to a big restaurant, and ordered more than ten delicious dishes. During the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatting all over the world, and did not mention the matter of Phoenix TV Company.

It wasn't until after the dishes had passed seven or eight flavors and the wine had passed three rounds that Gu Weiqi said with a straight face: "I know that you are all outstanding TV talents, and the reason why I am hosting you today is mainly to invite a few people to help me take care of Phoenix TV Company." ”

The four of them glanced at each other, revealing an expression of "sure enough".

Gu Weiqi continued: "I plan to spend 200 million Hong Kong dollars on the company's operations. As a sign of my sincerity, I intend to give you 7% of the shares. Among them, Mr. Xu is 1 percent, Mr. Huang, Mr. Xiao and Ms. Zhou Liang are 2% each. I don't know what you think? ”

Several people glanced at each other, and they were all moved. 200 million Hong Kong dollars, one percent of the shares is two million, and two percent is equal to 4 million. Just took it out without blinking, to be honest, even the head of wireless, Shao Daheng, didn't have this kind of courage. After all, it's all real money, who would be stupid enough to take out their own money and distribute it to everyone?

However, Gu Weiqi, as a person who has come over, knows the simple truth that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. Especially the Phoenix TV he is about to establish, everything still needs to rely on these people to charge forward for him, and giving a little sweetness will undoubtedly unite everyone's centripetal force and the momentum of active work.

Don't look at the fact that they have been working in TV for so many years, but the money they make is still limited. To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, it is still a working man. But entering the Phoenix company is different, it is equivalent to working for yourself, not to mention the rest, the company makes money, and the annual dividend alone is a considerable income.

However, Huang Xizhao muttered: "Please forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Gu, as far as I know, it is not easy to apply for a TV license now." Mr. Gu said that he was the boss of Phoenix TV Company, but I don't know what evidence he has? ”

Gu Weiqi couldn't help nodding secretly when he heard this, this Huang Xizhao was really old, and immediately said: "Yes, you see that I am happy to patronize, and I almost forgot if I was not reminded." Sister Weiwei, please show General Manager Huang the TV license and related documents we applied for. ”

"Okay." Fang Lingwei agreed, and took out the relevant documents from the bag hanging on the chair and handed them to the other party.

Huang Xizhao took a serious look and felt that there was no problem, so he looked at Zhou Liang Shuyi and a few others to confirm that it was true, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Weiqi was shaking them, if this spread out, their faces would be lost. But looking at the other party so young, he felt that this boss seemed a little unreliable. But thinking about it again, since the other party can start a TV company, I'm afraid it shouldn't be as simple as it seems.

Gu Weiqi continued: "The first thing I need to explain is to invest in Phoenix TV Company, for me. It's not a whim, or a short-term speculative move. It is a long-term investment and business plan that has been carefully considered. As long as you are willing to come and help me, I will never treat you badly. ”

Xu Xiaoming took the lead and said, "Mr. Gu, I accept your invitation. ”

"Haha, okay." Gu Weiqi said with a smile: "Sister Weiwei, take one percent of the share transfer agreement to Mr. Xu." ”

Fang Lingwei nodded, took out a document, and sent it to Xu Xiaoming. He skimmed through it to make sure it was okay, and then he happily signed his name and put it away. To say that he does not have Huang Xizhao in Lishi, Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xiao Sheng have great power, it can be said that it is the most cost-effective to change jobs. After all, you can get two million worth of shares by jumping over, which is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern.

Speaking of Xu Xiaoming, he debuted as a child star at the age of five, and his parents were both well-known Cantonese opera actors in the 50s in Xiangjiang. He has played the leading role in many films and TV series, and later developed behind the scenes, participating in more than 100 films and television as a screenwriter, director, producer, martial arts instructor, etc., and is best at shooting action movies and martial arts films.

As far as Gu Weiqi knows, the other party also shined in the film industry later, especially the director's "Kapok Robe" is a classic movie with good box office and reputation. Moreover, there are many well-known actors he has cultivated, and the media's positive evaluation of him is also very high, all of them say that Xu Jian is righteous and righteous, and he is an excellent film and television producer.

Xiao Sheng glanced at Huang Xizhao, whose face was uncertain, and also nodded: "I also accept your invitation." ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi also continued: "I also accept your invitation. ”

So Gu Weiqi instructed Fang Lingwei to send the two documents to the two of them, and finally looked at Huang Xizhao and said, "I don't know what Mr. Huang is thinking about?" ”

Huang Xizhao sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "I also accept your invitation." ”

"Good." Gu Weiqi nodded with satisfaction, and said in high spirits: "With a few helpers, if you want to come to Phoenix Company to unify Xiangjiang TV, it is just around the corner." ”

Xiao Sheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu, you are too optimistic, the most important thing in opening a TV station is the ratings." If the ratings can't go up, it's useless to say anything. ”

Huang Xizhao nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, in addition to increasing the ratings, the discovery and training of artists are also very important. ”

"I have a way to improve the ratings."

Gu Weiqi smiled indifferently and said firmly: "As for the training of artists, according to my ideas, in the future, our Phoenix TV will definitely hold an artist training class, and in order to expand the scale of enrollment, I mean the implementation of free training." I believe that the artists will be able to replenish in the near future. In addition, in order to improve the acting skills of actors, I will hire some well-known Hollywood actors with high salaries to teach in the future. ”

"The artist training course will definitely be opened, and if the training is free, it will naturally be able to discover more outstanding artists and talents."

Huang Xizhao frowned slightly, and muttered: "But if you really implement free training, I'm afraid it will require a lot of expenses every year." Especially to hire powerful and well-known Hollywood actors to come and teach, it takes a lot of money, boss, you have to think about it carefully. Once this opening is opened, it will not be easy to close it in the future. ”

"It's okay, we're not short of money."

Gu Weiqi waved his hand indifferently, and he took advantage of the sharp drop in gold to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in capital in one fell swoop, which is really not bad money, and then emphasized: "Besides, in order to cultivate more and better talents, promote the development of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry and the spread of Chinese culture." I think it's worth trying to do it for a little money for the time being. ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded, since the boss is not afraid of spending money, what else do they have to worry about?

Zhou Liang Shuyi continued: "These are not enough, constantly launching excellent programs and increasing ratings is the king." Even if it is a loss and burns money, it will not hesitate. ”

"If you can really increase the ratings, it doesn't matter if you burn money."

Gu Weiqi nodded, but emphasized: "However, the essence of business is to make money, and blindly burning money to increase ratings is not in line with the way of business." Step by step, it is the last word to increase finances and ratings simultaneously, and make money on the premise of ensuring survival. Jiashi blindly burned money back then, how much pressure did it put on wireless? Isn't it because of poor financial conditions, saying that it will go out of business? ”

Speaking of Zhou Liang Shuyi, she was originally an executive at TVB, but after the establishment of Jiayi TV in 75, she defected to Jiayi TV, and almost hollowed out the main lineup of wireless at that time. originally thought that Jiashi's boss He Zuozhi's financial resources were enough to support her ambitions.

However, Jiashi was established in 75 years, and in only 78 years, the annual loss scale reached 250 million Hong Kong dollars. He Zuozhi also lost patience and liquidated Jiashi. In the original history, Lishi was acquired by Qiu Degeng and changed to Asia Television, and in the early 90s, after its gloomy withdrawal from Asia Television, the Lin family took over. And the famous Chow Leung Shuyi was invited by the Lin family to serve as the general manager of ATV.

As a result, after Zhou Liang Shuyi came to power, she also blindly burned money, expanding ATV's annual loss to HK $300 million. In the end, the Lin family, the owner of ATV, couldn't stand her blind burning of money and swept it away.

However, for Gu Weiqi, it is enough to burn two or three hundred million a year. But as he said, the essence of business is to make money, and if you can make money on the premise of burning money, of course, it is great.

In fact, the main purpose of Gu Weiqi to start a TV company is to find a platform with the ability to package and manufacture stars for film companies and brokerage companies that will be established in the future.

How to make a star? Of course, it is necessary to rely on records, TV series, news hype, etc., to be able to tap potential new artists, and gradually be packaged as popular stars.

Why is wireless so famous? It is because it has produced many stars, known as the "Star Manufacturing Factory", and the "Rookie Singing Contest" held by it has unearthed singers like Anita Mui who are popular in the Chinese entertainment industry for the first time in history. What else is "Five Tiger Generals", "Nine Dragon Girls", and "Twelve Golden Flowers" are all promoted by wireless packaging.

It is precisely because of the convenience of TV packaging and promotion of artists that Gu Weiqi decided to start a TV company after returning from the United States.
