Chapter 36: Mentality
readx;?“ Lao Luo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Before Luo Weiming walked out of the office, Shen Chong stopped him, spread his hands, hooked his fingers, and said, "Give me your cigarettes." ”
"How?" Luo Weiming was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly, and said, "Boss, don't pretend to be a good man?" Last time, I made a bet with Bai Sheng that you must have been a smoker before, but he still didn't believe it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Chong scolded with a smile and said, "Give it to me." ”
Luo Weiming took out the cigarette case, shook it, then handed it to him, and said, "There are only three, if you really want to try it, I will send you a few boxes later?" I don't have anything else, that's all, before I came up today, I just opened one. ”
"I've got it here." Jiang Zhiqiang also took out his cigarette case and said, "I just smoked two." ”
"No, three is enough, give me the lighter, and I'll let Xiaoyu give it to you later." Shen Chong took Luo Weiming's cigarette case and lighter, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, you guys go get busy first." ”
Luo Weiming and Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at each other, and walked out with a slightly puzzled expression.
After the two left, Shen Chong stood up, walked to the spotless floor-to-ceiling window, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, but did not light it for a long time, but unconsciously looked at Victoria Harbor in the distance, and after a while, he took off the cigarette, sighed, and said to himself: "It's really a lonely life like snow......"
yes, it's lonely
His current state can be described by three idioms: rich and rivaling the country, famous in Kyushu, and full of words. There is no shortage of money, prestige, power, and if there is a heart and a little indulgence, women are also not lacking, and they lack nothing, but they lack an opponent - an opponent who can use real knives and guns, and bayonets can see red.
Although he wants to challenge Hollywood's film hegemony in the future, the future is too ethereal, Hollywood is too far away, like the clouds on the horizon, the reflection on the bottom of the sea, you can see it, you can't touch it, you punch it, and the images are scattered, like a big dream......
In Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers are declining, Golden Harvest is vulnerable, Taiwanese films are sluggish, and mainland films are struggling
The days without opponents are really boring.
After playing with the delicate silver-plated lighter for a while, Shen Chong's little finger flicked lightly, the lighter flipped in the palm of his hand, and his thumb was pushed and rubbed, "click", "click", after two light sounds, the lighter flashed a flame, and the whole action was smooth, obviously I had practiced hard before.
Pick up the cigarette again, put it into the flame, light it, take a deep breath, then close your eyes and puff out smoke with your head up.
Although the posture is cool and very literary, it doesn't seem to have much pleasure......
He was wondering if he should change his posture and take another breath when the phone rang.
"Mr. Shen, Manager Zhang Xiancheng of China Resources is on Line L." Xiaoyu's voice came out and said, "Listening to the tone, he seems to be in a hurry. ”
Didn't he take Taiwanese businessmen to Fujian?
Shen Chong casually pressed the cigarette butt on the glass, then walked over, picked up the microphone, and said, "Manager Zhang, hello." ”
"Xiao Shen, Zhang Guangdou is hospitalized."
Shen Chong raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "When?" In which hospital? What disease? ”
"I also just got the news that the afternoon before yesterday, General Manager Zhang suddenly fell during a meeting." Zhang Xiancheng paused for a moment and said again; "Now I am living in Tung Wah Hospital, and my initial diagnosis is cerebral arteriosclerosis, with signs of stroke."
"I'll visit him in a moment." Shen Chong groaned slightly and asked, "Manager Zhang, are you still in Fujian?" ”
"Yes, according to the plan, I will only return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."
"The medical level in Hong Kong is very high, I believe that General Manager Zhang will be fine, don't worry, don't worry
Hanging up the phone, Shen Chong touched his scalp, this matter is a bit troublesome.
Shen Chong's impression of China Resources in his previous life was only three - Snow Beer, Vanke Real Estate and China Resources Vanguard Supermarket, how China Resources was restructured and how it developed into a domestic super predator.
If he can be the general manager, it is an unexpected joy, if he fails to take the position, it doesn't matter, but from the later signs, Zhang Xiancheng is very knowledgeable, knows how to cooperate, and is ambitious, it is worth pushing.
However, in the three Zhang Li of China Resources, Zhang Guangdou has been the general manager for seven or eight years, and he has developed and expanded China Resources step by step, with extremely high prestige, saying that Zhang Xiancheng has the least qualifications, and the ranking is still after another deputy manager Zhang Zheng, Shen Chong originally planned to use a few years to use trade with Taiwan as a breakthrough to accumulate political and economic capital for him, and slowly cultivate the team, but the plan cannot compare with the changes, Zhang Guangdou's illness is obviously unable to continue to work, and the position of general manager will soon be vacant.
China Resources is known as the "Second Ministry of Foreign Trade", Hong Kong is the most important external window of the mainland, the position of general manager is a big piece of fat, and the top management will inevitably decide whether to parachute in the newcomer or promote from the inside after some games and considerations, that is to say, Zhang Xiancheng only has one or two months to operate at most.
If you are a newcomer in the air, Shen Chong has no way at all, if it is an internal promotion, the recommendation of the current general manager Zhang Guangdou is very important.
However, seeing that Zhang Guangdou had been hospitalized for two days, Zhang Xiancheng only got the news, obviously his control within China Resources was limited, and he could only turn to Shen Chong, an outsider, for help.
"Just now, I was feeling lonely and boring in life, and now I feel that life is too complicated and tangled." Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said to himself: "This big ups and downs are really exciting."
He didn't know anything about China Resources in his previous life, it doesn't mean that he didn't know anything after the crossing, he didn't know who the next general manager of China Resources was, but he knew that behind the scenes of China Resources, there was the famous economic expert and the top three leaders.
If you interfere indiscriminately, make things worse, and annoy such big people, in the future, you will not worry that there is no enemy, but that the enemy is too powerful......
Shen Chong sat on the office chair and thought for a while before pressing the phone button and saying, "Vivian, come over here." ”
Gu Liwei soon came over and asked, "Mr. Shen, what's the matter?" ”
"You ......" Shen Chong just wanted to speak, but his mind turned, and he reversed the decision just now, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the half-deflated cigarette case on the desk, crumpled it into a ball, threw it into the trash, and said: "You go to make a non-smoking ordinance, and all employees who work in this building will be non-smoking." ”
"Huh?" Gu Liwei was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Mr. Shen, please think twice, almost all male employees of Oriental Charm are smokers, and as soon as this regulation is made, I am afraid that people will go to the empty building." ”
"Then leave two offices on each floor as smoking rooms, and the rest of the rooms are non-smoking, but no, the seventh floor is non-smoking." Shen Chong said angrily; "Anyway, when you have a meeting in the future, don't see anyone smoking in front of me
"Okay."
After Gu Liwei left, Shen Chong paced around the office, irritable, and unable to decide whether to meddle in China Resources' housework.
After half a ring, he slapped his head, sat back at his desk, and took out a blank piece of paper on which he wrote a few lines
"Film - Coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland (TBD)."
"TV stations - coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan (hopeful), mainland (no hope yet)
"Print Media - Coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland (Unstable)."
Many people think that movies are very simple, get a script, find a director, and find a movie theater after filming, and it's over, why can't Chinese movies work? Why can't you make a good movie? Why can't it be sold all over the world?
If movies are compared to operating systems, culture is the kernel code, TV stations are desktop tools, and print media and other derivatives are application software, is it difficult to write an operating system? It is not difficult for a computer science college student who studies hard every day to write it after graduation, but why is it that whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, there are only two or three operating systems in total?
The key is that the ecological environment of the software is built, not overnight, nor is it a matter of one person or two people, Microsoft has spent years of accumulation to achieve the hegemony of U, Google is free to do coolies, hooked up with hundreds of hardware manufacturers, attracted tens of thousands of software companies, and it took 5 years to make Android popular for a while.
As early as the beginning of the crossing, Shen Chong decided to take Hong Kong as the base, the mainland culture and market as the nutrients, the television station as the skeleton, and the paper media as the wings, and at least a year to create a perfect Chinese film ecosystem, and in this plan, the mainland is the top priority, without the mainland, everything is empty talk, and the reason why he is indecisive and restless now is because he is facing a strategic choice - whether to continue to maintain his current transcendent position, or to deeply participate in the affairs of the mainland.
If it were possible, Shen Chong was of course reluctant to get involved in all kinds of things in the mainland, but he had to get involved, because Hollywood had an advantage that he would never get - the United States had the First Amendment.
This amendment allows Hollywood to spit everywhere without scruples, and these saliva can really hurt people, but China doesn't pay attention to this, China pays attention to a thousand words, not as good as bricks, to be a media group in China, you must have a hard backstage and enough capital to bluff people, otherwise, if you spit on it, you will either be ignored or slapped to death by someone with a backhand.
Shen Chong does not have the government as a backstage, he is born with weak legs, but he has a lot of money, so if he wants to use the mainland as a backing and make a career, he must use the money to smash it and smash it out
In the past, he took the high-level route and ran to Beijing to release satellites, although he won a lot of political benefits in a short period of time, but those are all buildings in the air, not grounded, and a word from the leader can make him fall from the clouds, for example, his magazine can be sold in the mainland because of Liao Chengzhi's approval, for example, his movies can be released in the mainland because Deng Gong has seen it......
The oriental charm spans the two sides of the strait and three places, which seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is just a castle on the beach, which can be pushed by a wave.
And if it is operated properly, it can deeply participate in the restructuring of China Resources, obtain a stable profit delivery channel, build an economic group, and determine the employment and income of tens of millions of people in one sentence, things will be completely different.
The key is, how do you do it right......
