Chapter 509: Never Let Go
readx;
Li Mingyao has been in the mainland for a while, and his understanding of the mainland is naturally not as superficial as before, thinking that he can do everything if he has money. This point is common in Hong Kong, people who are really rich in Hong Kong, there is also a lot of power, even if it is the Hong Kong British government, it is not good to have too much control, when there is no need, Hong Kong and Britain will not attack these rich people. But on the mainland side, the rules change.
Rich people don't necessarily mix well, especially those new self-employed people on the mainland, if they want to say rich, they are definitely richer than the vast majority of ordinary people, but it is these rich self-employed people who are not very high in the mainland now, and even ordinary people, unless they have to, will not consider becoming self-employed at all, especially those who earn dead wages in factories, and would rather take dead wages than be self-employed.
Not to mention self-employed, even if it is for a Hong Kong businessman like Li Mingyao, they are not happy, even if Li Mingyao makes a lot of money, ordinary people will not think of working in a hotel, if it is not for Li Mingyao's identity as a Hong Kong businessman, plus the investment is really large, and the salary of the hotel is also quite good, otherwise the hotel will not even be able to recruit workers in the mainland.
If recruiting people is just a small problem, then the trouble that the hotel encounters in various places will make Li Mingyao helpless, to say that the hotel that the Li family invested in this time, even if it is on the side of the State Council, it can be regarded as registered, with a name, and with the participation of local departments, it can be said that there is no shortage of money and power.
But even with such a thick background, there are always some small troubles, although these troubles are not big, but they are very disgusting, and some troubles, even the local government is not so easy to solve. And when Li Mingyao was dealing with these things, he also understood that it was too complicated to make an industry in the mainland, not only to have money, but also to be able to speak.
It's okay to get a hotel, not to mention that Li Mingbao wants to get involved in CCTV advertising. In a large department like CCTV, the number of people concerned is not a small number. It's okay if Li Mingbao doesn't succeed, if he succeeds, there will be a lot of trouble.
The mainland does not attach so much importance to the advertising business now, and there are not too many people who know that there are very important interests here, plus various restrictions, so the advertising business, maybe when Li Mingbao first took it, there will not be too much trouble.
But when Li Mingbao starts to really make money, and after it gets bigger and bigger, the trouble encountered is absolutely quite big, and the trouble of the hotel is definitely a small thing compared to advertising. As long as Hong Kong is concerned, Li Mingyao is not so optimistic about Li Mingbao's involvement in this business. So Li Mingyao would rather Li Mingbao not get this project than Li Mingbao get into this trouble.
When the advertising gets better and better, and after making more and more money, it is hard for Li Mingyao to imagine that those guys will abide by the rules.
Hearing his eldest brother's words, Li Mingbao didn't understand what his eldest brother was going to say. For these things, Li Mingyao may have just discovered them, but for Li Mingbao, these troubles are actually things he has long expected. As I said before, Li Mingbao is definitely the first person in Hong Kong to know the problems of the mainland, especially the economic problems, not to mention the eldest brother, who has only been working hard in the mainland for a year, even if he is a native of the mainland, he will definitely not know more about the mainland than Li Mingbao.
Li Mingbao not only knows the current problems, but also knows the future problems, compared with Hong Kong, Li Mingbao knows more about the situation in the mainland, so what his eldest brother said, Li Mingbao will not know? Of course not, he knows better than his own eldest brother how much trouble there is.
But these troubles, in the eyes of the eldest brother, seem to be a big trouble, but in the eyes of Li Mingbao, these troubles cannot be regarded as troubles. Crisis crisis, what is a crisis? The crisis is that there are both dangers and opportunities, and the eldest brother can see the danger here, Li Mingbao is surprised enough, but his eldest brother does not see the opportunity here.
So after hearing his eldest brother's words, Li Mingbao smiled: "It seems that the eldest brother has learned a lot of things in the past year in the mainland, otherwise you wouldn't have said such things, it's very progressive, I thought that you still have to stay in the mainland for a while to understand these things, and you are still preparing to mention you when to mention you, it seems that you don't need it now."
To be honest, it's good that you can see the trouble here, big brother. But these troubles were considered before I was ready to cooperate with CCTV. So these troubles, for me, are not troubles at all. ”
"You're going to be. Your eldest brother and I also went to Hong Kong after I have a memory, so your eldest brother and I definitely know better than you about the situation on the mainland. You think these troubles are minor troubles? Can it be solved with money? Don't underestimate those people and oversimplify these dangers, I can get a lot of trouble with a hotel, let alone advertise.
Nowadays, people in the mainland are not very familiar with the business of advertising, so they don't quite understand how big the benefits are. But your eldest brother, I understand that the interests of the hotel are nothing compared to the interests of advertising, and they are not worth mentioning at all. But even if it is the interest of the hotel, and our hotel is registered on it, your eldest brother has not encountered such and such troubles in the past year.
Hotels are still like this, not to mention the benefits of advertising, you haven't thought about it, when you mature this industry, others will pick peaches? When the time comes, all your stuff will be wasted, won't your efforts be in vain? Who knows if there will be a change in the mainland's policy? If you change it, you're in big trouble. Hearing his little brother's words, Li Mingyao said very dissatisfied.
In his opinion, his little brother is too persistent about this matter. He doesn't object to making money, but he doesn't want this money-making thing to become a trap and make a wedding dress for someone else in vain, which will not be good. The interests of advertising are so big, I really want Li Mingbao to do it, with the mainland market, this is completely a golden rooster that lays eggs, TVB is just a place like Hong Kong, you can make a lot of money, and how vast the mainland is, how many business opportunities there are, as long as a person who understands, the more benefits, the greater the risk, he doesn't think that his little brother can still be so stable under such risks. After all, the Li family has now become a broken household, although its strength has improved very quickly now, but after all, the previous background was too little, and the expansion was too fast, and it was easy to get eggs.
After hearing his eldest brother's words, Li Mingbao was very happy, although the eldest brother is now blocking his actions, but Li Mingbao understands that the eldest brother is doing this for his own good, if he changes someone, the eldest brother will not have the interest to mention it at all, that is, Li Mingbao, the eldest brother will bother so much.
At this time, Li Mingbao also had to show his eldest brother some of his hole cards, otherwise, the eldest brother would probably never want Li Mingbao to interfere in these things.
"Big brother, I understand all these things you said, benefits are never something that good people can distribute. Big brother, I also understand your concerns. But big brother, you don't know what my hole cards are.
In my opinion, if any career wants to become bigger and stronger, in fact, it cannot be solved by one person, no matter how talented a person is, if there is no group of helpers, his achievements are also limited. Just like Morgan in the United States, at the beginning, Morgan's strength on Wall Street was not very prominent, and there were not a few people who were more powerful than him, but why was Morgan able to unite the entire Wall Street in the end? The most important thing is that Morgan knows how to make trade-offs, and what is given and what is given has made Morgan develop into the giant it is now.
So when I do things, I don't eat alone. Just like my industries in the United States, big brother, why do you think my industries can develop so quickly and make me so much money? The most fundamental reason is that I make a lot of money in the U.S. industry, but my partners also make a lot of money.
Otherwise, do you think that I can mix up to this point by being in the United States alone? Others don't blush? You must know that on the side of the United States, the conflict of interests is even more intense, and there are not a few cases that directly sink people to the bottom of the sea. Isn't it because I know how to make so much money over there because I know how to make trade-offs? From the beginning, I was a partner with Twentieth Century Fox, and then I had DreamWorks.
Then DreamWorks has developed to the present, and its strength is much stronger, but compared with the old companies, there is still a gap, so DreamWorks has become fat to a certain extent, and at this time, I introduced another ally, that is, News Corporation. Although it won't be long before Twentieth Century Fox will merge into News Corp., the foundation of Twentieth Century Fox can still withstand a lot of troublesome things for me in the United States. And abroad, the strength of News Corp. is also quite strong.
I will distribute more benefits and pull these two giant companies to my side and stand guard for me, which is why I said that I will be able to make at least $500 million a year in the United States in the future. So I'm actually very good at distributing benefits.
I can do pretty well in the United States, let alone the mainland now. Someone wants to reach out, and I can just stone them with money right now. So the troubles you mentioned big brother are not troubles for me at all, as long as I transplant the actions of the United States to the mainland, my business can continue. Besides, even if it is the worst outcome, it is a big deal to lose the benefits of advertising, which is not a big deal for me, the effort is not big, the return is huge, how can I give up? Li Mingbao said solemnly.
