Zeng Zhiwei left for a while, and Li Zhuanglie's call came, mainly to report to Gu Chen the ratings of "Joking Qianlong". Before the launch of "Joking about Qianlong", TVB also took Emperor Qianlong as the main story line of "Qianlong Emperor", which was launched on the first day of the TVB celebration, and the ratings on the first day exceeded ATV's TV series in the same period, and the ratings continued to rise in the next few days, and there is a great tendency to restore the former dominance of wireless, so ATV has great expectations for "Joking Qianlong".

The result did not disappoint ATV, "Joking about Qianlong" hit a rating of 35 points on the first day of broadcasting, and pulled "The Emperor Qianlong" down from 43 points on the previous day to 37 points. Although the ratings of "Joking Qianlong" are still lagging behind temporarily, everyone believes that it is only temporary.

Gu Chen knows very well that "The Emperor Qianlong" can have the current ratings, and Zheng Shaoqiu's personal appeal is a very important factor, but for a TV series, the plot is the most important, if the plot is not good, no matter how strong the actor's appeal is, he can only last for a while.

In his previous life, "The Emperor Qianlong" was starring Gu Xile, which can only be said to have a mediocre response. Now the interview is a few years in advance, and the actors are completely different, but there should be little difference in the plot, so it is inevitable that "Joking about Qianlong" will surpass "The Emperor Qianlong".

After explaining some things to Li Zhuanglie, Gu Chen ended the call and began to flip through the documents on the table that were several centimeters thick. Although he has always been bold in delegating power and rarely involved in the specific affairs of each company, as more and more companies under his name, the scale of each company has become larger and larger. There are more and more things he has to deal with, and the documents in front of him are still handled by Ouyang Lan in advance, otherwise there are more.

Time passed quietly. Gu Chen looked at the financial statements of the Tang Palace Banquet Company in his hand for this month, reached out and picked up the cup on the table, put it to his mouth and made a gesture of drinking, only to find that the coffee in it had been drunk at some point, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, and was about to ask Ouyang Lan to pour the coffee again, when there was a knock on the door. Then Ouyang Lan pushed open the door and walked in: "Boss, Bol?" Mr. Chris is here. ”

Bor? Chris? Gu Chen didn't react for a while, and was stunned. Suddenly remembered this Bol? Isn't Chris the senior accountant who was poached from the British accounting firm Pricewaterhouse with a high salary, according to the information he got from the headhunter, this Bol? Chris is the President of Pricewater's German branch and is an experienced senior accountant.

"Invite him in."

Ouyang Lan walked in with a middle-aged white man after a while. The appearance is generally the same as the photos Gu Chen saw from the information. Gu Chen immediately got up to greet him, held the other party's hand, and said with a smile, "Welcome from afar, Mr. Chris." ”

Bor? Chris also had a smile on his face, which had climbed a little wrinkled: "It's a pleasure to meet you, to be honest, I am full of curiosity about you, Mr. Gu." ”

"Hahaha." Gu Chen naturally knows about Dao Boer? Curious about what he would say, Chris smiled and said, "You'll have enough time to get to know me in the future." ”

After the two sat down on the couch. Bor? Chris immediately showed the directness of the Westerners: "I don't know what Mr. Gu is going to do when he poached me over?" ”

Gu Chen didn't speak, but gestured to Bor? Chris is at ease. Then he got up and went to his desk, got a pen and paper, wrote some words, and handed the paper to Bor? Chris: "My plan is to set up a holding company and put these companies under this holding company, and your position is that this is the chief financial officer, and you're responsible for the financial audit, audit, and business consulting of all the companies under it. ”

As mentioned earlier, with more and more companies under his name, Gu Chen's daily needs to deal with more and more things, he is okay, but Ouyang Lan is so busy all day long, so that Ouyang Lan has no time to walk around with him recently, and spends most of her energy on dealing with the documents sent by various companies all day long, and what is even worse is that Ouyang Lan is not from an economic background, and her own ability is limited, so she often gets twice the result with half the effort when dealing with some documents, which not only affects her work, but also Ouyang Lan herself is under huge pressure.

And he also realized a very grim fact, that is, he has a serious lack of control over some companies, especially in terms of finances, and there may not be any problems in the short term, but after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that something will not happen that he does not want to see.

It is a good way to formulate a strict financial system once and for all, so he thought of integrating all the companies under his name and establishing the Tang Dynasty Holding Company, which unified the administrative power and made the financial affairs of each company under strict control.

Bor? Chris looked at the paper in his hand, and saw that it was written in English: "Tang Dynasty Film Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Cinema Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Special Effects Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Records Co., Ltd., Tang Palace Banquet Catering Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Real Estate Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Petroleum Co., Ltd., Tang Dynasty Investment Co., Ltd., Cisco Systems Inc., the most famous of so many companies is undoubtedly the most famous Tang Dynasty Investment Company."

Since the stock market crash known as 'Black Monday', the originally unknown Tang Dynasty Investment Company suddenly rose to fame and became one of the most famous investment companies in the world, the main reason is that the Tang Dynasty Investment Company has a large number of stocks of more than 100 large enterprises in the world, a large part of which are Fortune 500 companies in the world, with total assets under management of more than 20 billion US dollars. And this is only temporary, as the stock markets of the United States and other countries in the world recover, its assets under management are bound to increase rapidly.

As for other companies, some are also well-known in the world, such as Tang Dynasty Film Company and Tang Dynasty Record Company. It should be said that it is a bit out of Bol to become the CFO of such a large holding company, with tens of billions of dollars in assets in charge? Chris's surprise.

"This is an appointment that people can't refuse, thank you very much Mr. Gu for your trust, I swear by my faith, you will not regret your decision today."

Bor? Chris's solemnity made Gu Chen very satisfied, nodded, and said: "To tell you the truth, the headhunting company has found many candidates for me in various parts of the world according to my requirements, and many of them are more famous than you and have higher positions, but in the end I chose you." ”

"Your expertise and success stories are of course important, but more importantly your professionalism and work ethic, in the more than 20 years of your career, you have been responsible for all the work without a single accident, and you and your team have not received a single customer complaint. This is absolutely unthinkable in the accounting profession, so I am sure you will be able to do this position very well,"

Speaking of his past accomplishments, Bol? A proud smile appeared on Chris's face: "Thank you very much for your affirmation and compliment. ”

Gu Chen smiled and continued: "If you have no opinion, I can ask my assistant to prepare the contract right away, and then you can start your work." ”

"Of course, I have no problem at all." Bor? Chris looked full of energy, and while waiting for Ouyang Lan to print the contract, he told Gu Chen about some of his past work experiences and how he planned to start his new job after signing the contract.

After an hour, Bor? Chris signed his name on the contract and officially became the CFO of Tang Dynasty Holdings. Chris said of one thing: "Boss, Tang Dynasty Investment Company holds a large number of circulating shares of world-class companies, and there are large sums of money operating in the market, I think in order to make the funds more secure, the boss should buy a bank as the core of your industry." ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, every time a huge amount of money flows, it has to go through someone else's bank, and the security is indeed not high, in case he is frozen for some reason, he will not cry to death. In fact, Tang Dynasty Investment also holds a large number of outstanding shares of several banks, such as Japan's Fuji Bank, but its shares are not high, and it is difficult to exert great influence on the decision-making of the bank's top management.

Moreover, the main business of these banks is not in Hong Kong, and some have not even opened branches in Hong Kong, which is obviously not suitable to become the core of his industry, and his mind is turning, and he soon locked two banks - HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, these two banks are either headquartered in Hong Kong, or their main business is in Hong Kong, and they both have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, which is the most suitable choice.

Listen to Gu Chen talk about HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, Bol? Chris thought for a moment, and then analyzed: "HSBC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings, and the benefits have been good, and it is almost impossible to acquire it. Standard Chartered is a good target. ”

"Standard Chartered Bank is a listed company, although it belongs to the British Standard Chartered Group, but the Standard Chartered Group does not have a controlling stake, the equity distribution is relatively scattered, two of the important shareholders are still Chinese, and the efficiency of Standard Chartered Bank has not been good in recent years. These are very beneficial for acquisitions. ”

Listen to Bol? After Chris's analysis, Gu Chen had already made a decision in his heart, only to see him smile and say, "Thank you very much for your analysis, I will let someone take care of this matter, and now your first task is to form your team." Of course, there will be someone to assist you in your work. ”

Tang Dynasty Holdings was established a few days ago, and its office is located in the new HSBC head office building, which is the same building as Tang Dynasty Investment, which is very convenient for work. At the same time, the recruitment of employees is also going on at the same time, and now there is Bol? With the addition of Chris, I believe it will be officially operational in a few days. (To be continued......)
