Chapter 30: The Situation

For Shen Chong, who is not short of money, there is really no difference between the skyscraper built in Shenzhen or Guangzhou, one is a special economic zone that the whole country is concerned about, and the other is a famous southern city with a long history, and the influence is almost the same, the only difference is that the cost is recovered two years earlier or two years later, but for the mainland film industry, whether there is Guangzhou or not in the pilot project of the screening reform, the effect can be heaven and earth - Guangzhou has a population of more than 5 million, and Shenzhen adds all the farmers, and it is only 300,000 people. In 19ru, few farmers were willing to spend money to watch movies, and only carried out pilot projects in Shenzhen, and after a year, the box office of more than 100,000 yuan, and then a split account, it was not enough to stuff the teeth of the film studio.

It's the same everywhere, so why not take advantage of it? Therefore, Shen Chong decided to make full use of the strategy of "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and used the cake of the skyscraper to promote the Guangzhou magistrate to take the initiative to join the film projection reform pilot.

Of course, with Secretary Yang's resume, capital and vision, whether the skyscraper is built in Guangzhou or not, it doesn't matter much, built in Guangzhou, the icing on the cake, not in Guangzhou, it doesn't hurt, but for the officials below, the meaning is completely different, a tallest building in China or even Asia, representing dazzling political achievements and massive interests, must be fought for with all his might, as the secretary of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee, he can't help but consider the opinions of his subordinates, and this level of bigwigs ask the Film Bureau for policies, almost nine out of ten.

Of course, it can't be too obvious to call people as guns, otherwise the effect is not good, and it is easy to offend people, so Shen Chong didn't mention a word about the pilot reform of film distribution and screening at the dinner, he just complained vigorously, saying that Guangzhou has good supporting facilities, a large working population, a mature market, and it is easy to build quickly, and it is easy to recover costs, on the other hand, he said that Shenzhen is a special zone, with policy advantages, rapid development, and close to Hong Kong, convenient to come and go, in short, it is a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind......

The next day was Children's Day, early in the morning, Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan went to the Guangzhou Children's Palace, where in the name of the Sino-Hong Kong joint venture Kaiyuan Toy Factory, donated 1 million sets of Rubik's cubes to the Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau for them to distribute free of charge to primary and secondary school students in the city.

After the donation ceremony, Shen Chong declined the kindness of the gods from all walks of life, got into the car, and left.

"Ah Chong." Li Kaiyuan turned around, looked at the crowd at the entrance of the Children's Palace through the rear window, and asked, "You didn't mention a word about the movie, will they understand?" ”

"Officials are all human spirits." Shen Chong raised three fingers and said: "I have a film company, I am good friends with mainland filmmakers, I am a rich man who likes to spend a lot of money on movies, such an obvious prompt, if they still can't figure out the point, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes." ”

"There are so many doorways." Li Kaiyuan pursed his lips and said, "But don't be too happy, this thing may not be possible." ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, and work hard, and even if the small conspiracy fails to materialize, I have gained a lot from this trip to Guangzhou." With a satisfied smile, Shen Chong said: "If you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you have no intention of planting willows and willows, and you have inadvertently completed a big thing." ”

"What's the big deal?"

"Remember? The day before yesterday, I took a stake in a company in Guangzhou, which was the Pacific Audio-Visual Company. Shen Chong said with a smile: "The pie fell from the sky and hit my head." ”

"Oh, that's it, it's just a tape factory." Li Kaiyuan was puzzled and said: "There are many such small factories in Hong Kong, if not ten, but also eight, so important?" ”

"It's different." Shen Chong grabbed her hand and said with a little emotion: "My greatest wish is to integrate the cultural and entertainment resources of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, music is part of it, in Hong Kong, I have Polygram, in Taiwan, I have Rolling Stones and UFOs, but there is nothing in the mainland, this Pacific audio-visual company, just fill the gap, let me have a springboard to enter the mainland, complete the whole puzzle, so it is said to have completed a big thing." ”

"That's clatter." Li Kaiyuan held his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you so happy for a long time." ”

Since Shen Chong crossed over, he has always focused on movies, and does not pay much attention to pop music, and his music companies are all in a state of free-range, and this is the case in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the music companies in the mainland naturally do not pay much attention to it, but not paying attention does not mean that they will let it slip away when the opportunity comes--During his stay in Guangzhou, he overheard someone say that the Pacific Audio-Visual Company, which is subordinate to the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, is about to be finished.

This news surprised him greatly, Pacific Audio-Visual Company is a name that has to be mentioned in the history of pop music in Chinese mainland, it is the first factory in the mainland to produce cassette tapes, known as igniting the fire of the pop music market in the mainland, Zhu Fengbo, Li Guyi, Jiang Dawei, Yu Junjian and others The first box of music tapes were all issued by it, and according to the memory of previous lives, the tapes issued by this company have almost sold more than one million, making tens of millions of profits every year, making more money than many large state-owned enterprises, how can it be over?

After inquiring carefully, Shen Chong couldn't help but sigh, it was really better to come early than to come by chance, at this time, the Pacific Audio-Visual Company was in a state of lack of success, and it was almost finished in one breath.

In 1978, there was a company called Baili Records in Hong Kong, and it cooperated with the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau to compensate for the trade, and founded the Pacific Audio-Visual Company in 1979, and Baili Records took out a loan of 4 million Hong Kong dollars to introduce a one-channel stereo cassette tape production line, and Pacific was responsible for recording records and producing tapes, and repaying the loans and interest of Bailey's company with the proceeds of the product.

Bailey Records felt that the living standard in the mainland was too low, the monthly per capita income was only about 40 yuan, and six or seven yuan a box of tapes would definitely not sell, so they took the tapes to Hong Kong and prepared to sell them overseas, and the results can be imagined, those mainland songs produced by the Pacific Ocean were not cared for overseas, and in 1979 900,000 cassette tapes were produced, only one-tenth of them were sold. The Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau loaned 100,000 yuan of public funds to the Pacific Audio-Visual Company, hanging its life and barely maintaining its operation.

If there was no Shen Chong's appearance, when the Pacific Audio-Visual Company was exhausted, it broke the kettle and sent all the employees out, each with a tape recorder, to do sales all over the country, in 19ru, the mainland was full of mono vinyl records, stereo cassette, small, fashionable and good-sounding, immediately caused a sensation, and soon sold out the inventory, making a lot of money.

But Shen Chong was lucky, he happened to come to Guangzhou at this time, and happened to hear this "failed case of foreign cooperation", as an outstanding patriotic businessman, how could he sit back and watch the failure of cooperation and discredit the reform and opening up? Naturally, we have to act righteously and help others......

What's more, the name of Pacific Audio-Visual Company has the word "shadow", and it has the qualification to produce video tapes
