Chapter 281: It's better to be sparse than to guide
readx;
"The underworld cannot be eradicated, it is better to block it, and it is better to guide it!" The chief muttered quietly, and then gradually opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran and said, "How long do you think it will take to minimize the harm of the underworld?" ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, it was really not easy to answer. www.biquge.info thought about it for a while, and he felt that now that the gangs were under Guan Xin's strong control, there were no more dangerous surnames: "Chief, I think now is the period when the underworld is the least harmful. However, I think maybe it could be lowered. I hope that the central government can send someone to help manage the underworld and relieve my worries. ”
Xiao Ran is absolutely sincere, now he is the richest man in the world, if he is pulled out of the gang one day, then he still has to be a man. Try to get rid of the relationship with the gangsters, this is what Xiao Ran urgently needs to do.
"I believe in you!" The chief suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said with relief: "The Hong Kong underworld is still controlled by you, and only you have this prestige to control. However, on the day of the handover, the British may be planning to do something, and you will be responsible for planning to stabilize the situation and make sure that there are no problems that day. ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he was still under his control when he went around. However, if you think about it, Guan Xin is only the actual controller, and in terms of prestige, it is definitely not as good as Xiao Ran. If someone is sent to take over at will, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction. Think about how many times Xiao Ran did a scene on the road to shock the underworld and win respect, you can know a thing or two.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Xiao Ran finally understood why he wanted to go around this circle. The chief was testing his ambitions, and wiped a handful of sweat in a hurry, glad that he hadn't thought about controlling the underworld and doing something. If I answer a little question just now, I'm afraid that before I return to Hong Kong, the underworld will change.
"Can you weaken the power of the underworld on that day!" This time, the chief's question was obviously a bit negotiable: "If you can kill their prestige as much as possible, it will be much easier to do in the future!" ”
"The leaders can't move because they are obedient, so they can directly control the situation through them!" Although Xiao Ran has not been in charge of the underworld for a long time, he still understands these things after thinking about them: "You can start with their middle and low-level backbones, so that they can create a deterrent!" ”
The chief nodded slightly: "Since you are not participating in the election for the head of the special zone, then who do you think is more suitable!" ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, does this have to be determined by himself as the candidate for the governor of the Special Administrative Region? Soon he understood that the chief wanted him to cooperate with this candidate: "Chief, I think no matter who is elected, I will strongly support it!" ”
But he still expected it a little wrong, the chief not only wanted him to cooperate with the work of the SAR governor, but also to sell him a great favor. Later, Xiao Ran learned that the chief told the later SAR governor that it was Xiao Ran who recommended this person. In this way, many things about the future phantom have been vigorously cooperated with by the political axe, which is naturally not mentioned. At that time, Xiao Ran knew that the chief had arranged a lot of things. (In fact, the election of the governor of the SAR was decided in December 96, but it should be taken here to cooperate with the plot) The chief nodded, and asked with a faint smile: "How do you think the international situation will develop?" ”
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled bitterly, he was not a politician, what the international situation would be was that he could predict. Moreover, history has changed so much that it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. However, he still tried hard to say the answer in his mind: "The United States will embark on the road to superpower, and I hope that the country can become stronger and stronger, so that it will be absolutely beneficial to the film industry!" ”
"In the film industry, what do you think about the long-term future!" The chief looked at Xiao Ran solemnly, this policy related to the future must be serious.
"Film is a cultural product, and the core of what Phantom Group does is culture. As long as the culture is sold, it will be able to do the best to the maximum! Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, he knew that the chief wanted to ask him what he wanted, hesitated for a moment and finally took this opportunity to say: "I hope the country will not interfere in the film industry, if you want to rise, you must be marketized, and if you want to be marketized, you can't intervene." ”
"Moreover, I think that the Film Censorship Association must read outside the Film Bureau, and the censorship system must be fully open." When Xiao Ran said this, his emotions were definitely trembling: "Chief, you know that movies are also a kind of public opinion. ”
The chief nodded noncommittally and motioned for Xiao Ran to continue. Xiao Ran glanced at the chief's expression and found that there was nothing unusual, so he continued: "The film industry needs to be fully opened up, at least it needs to be fully opened to Hong Kong films, and there must be a complete domestic protection policy for the introduction of foreign films." ”
"I think Hong Kong can exist as a global film hub, and we will face the world. At that time, Hong Kong was another Hollywood with a more complete system, a window to show the mainland! Xiao Ran was really a little cautious when he said this, for fear of violating any problems.
The chief pondered, and after a while, he slowly said: "Hong Kong is an international financial city, with policies different from those of the mainland, and the liberalization is very strong. That's why you chose Hong Kong, but don't worry. The central government has no intention of interfering in Hong Kong's affairs, and will mention it when appropriate. You've got a good idea, using Hong Kong, a highly liberalized city, as a base! ”
After talking for a long time, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but think about the chief and said: "Chief, the kinetic energy company controls oil in Russia, and if the central government needs it, I can sell it to the petrochemical company!" ”
The chief was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Xiao Ran, I don't have long to live, and I'm not sure what will happen in the future." Oil will be a strategic material in the future, and when you control the energy to a certain extent, then you have the capital of dialogue, and you can keep it as your own capital! ”
Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, originally he still wanted to have a big sale, but he didn't expect the chief to refuse. After thinking about it, he understood that the chief was worried that some policies might not be implemented seriously in the interior after he left, so he left the oil for him as a capital for dialogue.
Xiao Ran is not very worried, at present, Kinetic Energy is negotiating with the Middle East about the acquisition of oil wells, as long as it is reached, then the Phantom will sell the oil controlled by Kinetic Energy, and it will still be an energy company. In fact, Kinetic Energy is not only doing oil, but also doing energy research and investment such as solar cells.
"Xiao Ran, you control such a huge amount of wealth, many countries are very angry, you must be careful. It's better to ...... like this," the chief suddenly smiled: "I will choose two of the guards to match you to protect your safety." ”
"Zhongnanhai bodyguard?" Xiao Ran was slightly startled, and even cried out without words. Oh my God, the sunshine is already so powerful, if it is Zhongnanhai's bodyguard, then I'm afraid it will be a little more powerful. However, he was also well aware that the chief's move was not only to protect him, but also had other intentions.
"Xiao Ran, have you ever thought about ......" Speaking of this, the chief's tone paused, and he said word by word: "Be the vice president of the country!" ”
Xiao Ran immediately felt dizzy, first the head of the Special Administrative Region, and then the vice president of the state? These temptations are too strong. However, he soon realized that not only was he not qualified as the head of the Special Administrative Region, but also as the vice president of the state, unless the central government was willing to take special care of him!
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to answer, the chief sighed lightly, he didn't know that Xiao Ran was not old enough. However, he really hopes to be able to recruit the world's richest man in politics, of course, he doesn't really have real power, as long as he is named. The most important thing is that he has the means to appreciate Xiao Ran, and thinks it's a pity that this guy doesn't do politics.
Thankfully, fortunately, this is just a joke. Xiao Ran understands that, just like Prince Rong's father, he is a well-known person in the business world, but he also became the vice chairman of the political axe. But he didn't want to do it, he wanted to live a little freer.
Next, the chief introduced several important people who served in the political axe to Xiao Ran, probably to pave the way for the future. On the same day, Xiao Ran stayed in the State Guesthouse for one night, and the next morning, when Xiao Ran left the State Guesthouse, he saw the sun and the monkey helplessly gave him a look.
When he looked over, he saw two young men walking towards him without smiling. These two young men are not very tall, a little shorter than Xiao Ran, but they seem to be very energetic. Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then thought of what the chief said yesterday, and immediately understood that the two in front of him were Zhongnanhai bodyguards.
At this moment, Xiao Ran only felt a little regretful, why wasn't it a woman? In that case, Lin Qingxia can be assigned as a bodyguard. With Sunshine and Monkey following him for so long, he completely trusts these two people, and now there are two more, which is a little unaccustomed.
"Mr. Xiao, hello, we are ordered to protect you!" The two of them look like soldiers at all, no wonder Sunshine and Monkey, who were born in Guoan, look disdainful.
Xiao Ran smiled heartily and patted them on the shoulder, all of them were very strong: "I think your boss must have told you that from today onwards, you will no longer be guards, so, from this minute on, you will be my Xiao Ran's bodyguard, take my salary!" ”
When the word salary was mentioned, Sunshine and Monkey looked happy, and it was absolutely unimaginably comfortable to be a personal bodyguard next to Xiao Ran. Moreover, the bodyguards are not only the two of them, but they are personal bodyguards. The salary is high, the benefits are good, and you are looking for such an errand there!
However, although they were not convinced by Zhongnanhai's bodyguards, they still welcomed the existence of these two people, and they must be able to share more of their responsibilities in the future. At that time, they will be able to spend more time with their wives at home.
After making trouble for a long time, under Huang Qun's eighteen phases, he also gave gifts to bring to Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Qing, and Xiao Ran finally figured it out before getting on the plane. Zhongnanhai's bodyguards are good at defense, while Sunshine and Monkey are good at attacking, and they complained that Xiao Ran was shot when someone cleared the road.
On the plane, Xiao Ran quietly thought about talking to the chief, this time they talked a lot, and many future things were planned or decided at this time. Zhang Yan and Liu Xi, Zhongnanhai's bodyguards on the side, were soon annoyed by the sun and monkeys.
Sunshine and Monkey were as serious as these two bodyguards when they were with Xiao Ran at first, and they looked down on Xiao Ran. But after following for a long time, after getting ripe, I was infected by Xiao Ran's straightforward surname, and I always laughed in private.
Therefore, now they looked at the two bodyguards and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ran, who kept tapping their fingers, and couldn't help but smile: "Ah coarse and fine, now don't bother Brother Ran, he is thinking about problems, this is his habit!" ”
The two were stunned for a moment, but it was not so easy to avoid the sunlight and the harassment of monkeys: "Don't underestimate Brother Ran, when we were with him, we also looked down on him, thinking that he was just a little rich, what qualifications could I have to protect him." Later you will understand that some people have such a charisma as a leader! ”
Zhang Yan and Liu Xi sat straight and did not move. Protecting the chief is what they want, what is there to protect a rich man like Xiao Ran, can't he hire hundreds of bodyguards with so much money? However, when you think about it, it feels good to be on a private jet, especially when there are just a few of them on a huge plane.
Xiao Ran doesn't like to take private jets very much, because he has watched "2000 AD", in that film, someone shot down the plane with a missile. It doesn't matter if you are the richest man in the world or who you are, if this plane falls, you will definitely have to die again.
After thinking about the previous conversation, Xiao Ran continued to think about it. 1997 is very important, whether you can retire with honor depends on this year's performance, at least Xiao Ran thinks so. This year he will not only have to deal with some opponents, but also allow himself to be able to rely entirely on his own strength to ascend to the throne of best director.
Xiao Ran has prepared a lot of "gifts" for Hollywood this year, including "Jurassic Park 2", "Legend of the Car God 3", "Mission Impossible", "Toy Story 2", "Midnight Bell", "The Sixth Sense" and "Titanic", as well as Yu Jiayu's "Decisive Battle for a Thousand Miles" and "Men in Black" and "Decisive Battle for the Forbidden City", and finally "True Lies".
These eleven films are the highlight of the Phantom this year, with a total investment of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which "Titanic" and "A Thousand Miles" have the highest investment. Xiao Ran wants to beat Hollywood at the box office and word-of-mouth with these eleven films, and write the most glorious page of his retirement book.
In many cases, the operation of movies is not like ordinary business management methods, and what can really prove the strength is definitely not only the company's assets, but also the annual blockbuster films. This is a very simple truth, just like DreamWorks, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to produce a large number of films every year because of the scale and funding, and it is even more difficult to occupy a position on the box office list every year.
