Chapter 10 I want to get involved in the film industry

In August, "Sachiko shirts" and "Mitsuo shirts" are becoming more and more intense, flooding the mainland clothing market in large quantities, leading the trend. It can even be said that it will become a fashion for some time to come, until new alternatives appear.

Everything has a certain audience, and when the audience doesn't expand, sales slowly flatten out.

Zhang Shaoping was already very satisfied, drank the first soup, and established a brand reputation, which is the biggest benefit. By mid-August, the profit after tax after deducting the expenses of 7788 was 12 million Hong Kong dollars, which was only the profit of the Han Tang Fengxing Garment Company, excluding the income of 1.1 million entrepot trade of the Ocean Trading Company.

With this money, the construction of the Hantang Fengxing Garment Factory will not be without capital investment. paid the balance of the land purchase, added 200 industrial sewing machines in one go, built staff dormitories and large canteens, and many important and miscellaneous matters, which made Zhang Shaoping dizzy.

Zhang Shaoping holds two companies, with a total net worth of about 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and only 10 million of the liquidity that can be withdrawn on the books. Such a value, in this era, can be described as a young talent, a full golden beetle.

But it is obvious that Zhang Shaoping has lofty ambitions and will not be satisfied at all and will not move forward. From the very beginning, Zhang Shaoping had a very clear attitude that the business of the two companies could be exchanged, but the capital accounts must be separated, and each had its own financial accounting. The rules are established first, and then they can be developed, and it is precisely because the sparrow is small that it has all five organs.

Before planning the development direction and positioning of the two companies, Zhang Shaoping allocated funds, with all the capital of Hantang Fengxing Garment Company of 10 million and Dayang Trading Company of 3 million. The factory belongs to the Hantang Fengxing Garment Company, and the others, including leased warehouses, warehouses and stores, are all owned by Dayang Trading Company.

Zhang Shaoping has always wanted to accompany his little sister Zhang Mengying more and let her spend a happy childhood, but if he wants to get out, he can't trust anyone. The factory was handed over to Lin Chaoshen, and Zhang Shaoping was relieved. Zhao Lihong is a seedling in trade, although the ability has not been deeply excavated, but, think about it, cultivate it, it must be a right-hand man, Zhang Shaoping decided to let her hang the title of deputy general manager, exercise the power of the general manager, and do the things of the general manager.

In the past, it specialized in the trade of re-import, but now it should be fully rolled out and both import and export. However, for the consumer groups faced by Hantang Fengxing clothing company, Zhang Shaoping and Lin Chaoshen have disagreements, Lin Chaoshen insists on taking the low-end route, but Zhang Shaoping hopes to be based on the middle class, start in the mid-range batch, and keep up with the ranks of high-end top brands.

The two argued, Lin Chaoshen finally had a showdown, frowned and said: "Zhang Sheng, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, our factory is newly built, the funds are not abundant, and there are no clothing design products of our own, and they are not famous. ”

Zhang Shaoping said: "Our company has become famous in the mainland, and we will do the best in the mainland." ”

Lin Chaoshen said helplessly: "Mainland? How big is the mainland market? It is also an undeveloped virgin land. It took almost 150 years for Hong Kong to develop to this point, how many years will it take for the mainland to develop before it has a certain consumption base? 20 years? 30 years? Or 50 years? Anyway, within ten years, you don't have to think about it, and the company's development, let alone ten years, can't afford to spend one or two years! ”

What else can Zhang Shaoping say, this is a cognitive gap, he is a descendant and knows the general trend of the future, but the key thing is that others are not! Zhang Shaoping had a hard time convincing Lin Chaoshen, thought about it, and had to say: "You're right, so let's take a step back." Mass market, let's not go to the cooperation, you concentrate on the mid-grade. Especially in the mainland market, we have to bother to develop it, and as long as there is no major turmoil in such a huge population base, there is no reason not to rise. Even if there is no external market, relying on the mainland alone will be more than enough to support our small company. ”

Lin Chaoshen nodded and said: "If China's reform and opening up policy remains unchanged and the market does not regress, I have nothing to worry about." ”

"You're so careful! Even if the mainland is mainly attacked, the consumption level of the two sides is different, and there is a gap in cognitive standards. Zhang Shaoping laughed.

Lin Chao thought about it deeply, and really felt that he was thinking too much, and smiled at the moment: "Zhang Sheng, what you said, I realized that I didn't think about it." ”

"No one is a saint, how can everything be considered!" Zhang Shaoping said, the words changed sharply, and said: "However, people have no immediate worries, they must have long-term concerns, and the company must take the route of brand innovation." In this way, we will set aside a research and development department and hire some professional and technical personnel with high salaries to specialize in research, design, innovation and development of new products. What do you think? ”

"This is a good thing, even if you don't say it, Zhang Sheng, I'm going to mention this to you. Hong Kong is lacking in everything now, that is, there is no shortage of fashion designers, but there are not many designers of a certain level, so we must make a move as soon as possible, lest all these talents go to Yuben and South Korea. Lin Chaoshen's attitude towards this is very pleasant.

"Director Lin, you are familiar with this aspect, in my opinion, don't bother the two masters, you can work harder, and see if you can recruit a few designers with a little material!" As long as someone brings it, this R&D department can be formed. ”

Lin Chaoshen agreed, and the two talked about the company's personnel arrangements, and then finalized the follow-up work.

The career is grass-based, and it is naturally hard, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult step by step. From a simple production workshop, a round of division, there are production department, research and development department, public relations department, finance department, quality safety and technology department, logistics department and other departments, all of a sudden.

By the time things were on the right track, it was August 31.

The younger sister Zhang Mengying has reached school age, and Zhang Shaoping has to put down the work at hand and rush back to Hong Kong.

After making money, of course, buying a few cars is not only a faΓ§ade, but also a lot more convenient to travel. two large trucks for shipment; A small van, used for public relations of the factory's business. There are also two Audis, which are used as the cars of Lin Chaoshen and Zhao Lihong.

As for Zhang Shaoping, he chose BMW, and in his dirty words, a man is to ride a precious horse. When I don't have money for this product, I want to make beautiful women, and when I have money, I have to make famous beauties.

The full-time driver who drove him was a young man named Chen Feihu, a veteran of the reconnaissance company. Tang Aijun said, don't look at this kid is tall and thin, he seems to be weak, but he is the best at fighting the whole company, and in the war against Vietnam, he single-handedly killed more than 20 Vietnamese soldiers.

Zhang Shaoping became interested when he heard it, and asked him to be a driver. The two got acquainted, and when they asked Chen Feihu, they learned that he had practiced Xingyi Boxing, Baji Boxing, and the Qi cultivation technique of the inner family since he was a child. This is a real national art, and when you practice killing, it can be described as extremely ferocious.

Zhang Shaoping sat in the back seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, the car was not driving slowly, but it was steady, and he didn't feel the bumps at all.

"Ah Hu, it's still early, let's go around and go back! It's been a long time since I've seen the night view of Hong Kong, and I miss it a little! ”

Zhang Shaoping sighed a little that since he crossed into this world, he has spent much more time in Shenzhen than in Hong Kong.

Chen Feihu doesn't feel this way, this is his third time in Hong Kong, the first two times were with the convoy to deliver goods, and now it is the first time to drive, but for a person who can drive around with a map, he has no recognition of Hong Kong's complex intersectional roads.

The car drove for another half an hour, and suddenly saw a theater jump in front of him, Zhang Shaoping had a whim, and suddenly had the idea of going in and having a look. At that moment, he said: "Ah Hu, park the car, let's watch a movie." ”

This is a small cinema in Kowloon City, with two theaters and two screens.

The two just bought tickets and caught up with the screening.

"The Palm of the Gods" is the title of this film, the director Huang Tailai, and the leading actor is Er Dongsheng, which makes Zhang Shaoping, even if he is not a person in the entertainment industry, very surprised. Zhang Shaoping only knew that Er Dongsheng was a great director in later generations, but he never heard that he was still an actor!

In fact, Er Dongsheng's experience is quite interesting, his original intention was to be an actor, but unfortunately he has no talent in this area at all, but he has no choice but to direct and he has made a name for himself. These past events are rarely reported in the newspapers, and Zhang Shaoping doesn't know the reason, so it's not strange.

Of course, Zhang Shaoping's real focus is not on the film itself, but on the film industry. After he entered the theater, he looked around, a broadcast hall, 300 seats, there were not a few people, and the attendance rate was estimated to be less than 30%. However, this movie is the last night tonight, and it will be painted tomorrow, and the attendance rate of nearly 30% is not too bad.

The seats in the theater are old hardwood chairs, which are very uncomfortable to sit on, and the playback facilities, Zhang Shaoping is not cold, they are too old. After watching the picture quality of the movie, Zhang Shaoping's only interest in this movie is completely gone, and this girl is completely guilty of watching it!

"Ah Hu, let's go!" Zhang Shaoping greeted and walked out of the theater first.

Zhang Shaoping doesn't like to watch it, it doesn't mean that Chen Feihu doesn't love it, this guy finally watched a movie, it was watching with relish, his eyebrows were dancing, and he was just in the mood, but he was called away by Zhang Shaoping, saying that he was not depressed, it was a lie. However, the habit of listening to orders he developed when he was a soldier made him also obedient now, and he immediately left with Zhang Shaoping without looking back.

Outside the theater, another broadcast hall is playing another film "Circle Boy", which is also about to be painted, Zhang Shaoping asked Chen Feihu to buy a ticket to go in and take a turn to see how many audiences there are. Chen Feihu went happily, and after nearly ten ten, Zhang Shaoping was impatient to wait, only to see him reluctantly walk out of the door.

Zhang Shaoping said angrily: "I asked you to go to see the attendance rate of the broadcast hall, you are good, after a long time, you must have gone to watch a movie." ”

Chen Feihu touched his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Zhang Sheng!" I couldn't help but glance at the movie and unconsciously forgot the time. ”

"The movie, you've also watched it, let's get down to business, how many people are in there?"

"I counted, exactly 61 people."

"How much money can you make with so few people?" Zhang Shaoping frowned.

He originally intended to get involved in the film industry, but at this moment, he hesitated a little.
