Chapter 589: Aftermath

After Xu Guanwu completed the re-control of Xu's supermarket, Xu's Group finally responded to the rumors and gossip from the outside world, in addition to suing several tabloids that spread false news, but also clarified the reason for Xu Guanwu's retirement, pointing out that Xu Guanwu retreated to the second line this time in order to devote more energy to the industry in the United States, as for Hong Kong, although the Xu Group no longer holds important positions, it still has absolute control over the company, and will also serve as the honorary general manager of the company.

At the same time, the financial edition of "Tiantian Daily" produced a special issue for Xu Guanwu in a timely manner, telling you about the entrepreneurial process in the past few years. From the brothers cooperating to open a film company, to going to Hollywood alone, to "Rocky" successfully returning to Hong Kong to get married and create a brilliant cinema line...... Step by step, it describes the development process of Xu Guanwu.

Although the myth of Hui Guanwu's wealth is well known in Hong Kong, there are many rumors that are absurd. This issue of the article published by the financial edition of "Daily Daily" is the most official statement at present. Naturally, many details are omitted, but in general, they are also true.

And "The Phantom of the East" specially produced an interview with Xu Guanwu, especially when it comes to his business in the United States. This is the first time Xu Guanwu has revealed his business in the United States to the outside world, which naturally attracted many people to buy and see. There are also many foreign media who want to buy the copyright to reprint.

In the interview, Xu Guanwu admitted for the first time that he was the largest shareholder of Apple Computer, which could not help but cause an uproar in the outside world. Everyone knows that Apple Computer is now the largest personal computer manufacturer in the United States, with more than two million Apple II computers sold and still surging by hundreds of thousands of units a month. And Apple is about to go public in the United States. The market capitalization is assessed at least $1 billion.

Xu Guanwu is a company with Apple Computer. He has at least $500 million in property. It's really amazing to the outside world. In addition, Xu Guanwu also revealed that he has a large number of shares in the second largest cinema chain in the United States, National Entertainment, and is their largest individual shareholder, as well as the largest individual shareholder of 20th Century Fox, the owner of CAA, the third largest agency in the United States, and the owner of Industrial Light & Magic, the first film special effects company in the United States, and the largest shareholder of R&H, the largest cable TV company in Los Angeles, and the majority shareholder of Mermaid Records......

Xu Guanwu's string of titles makes people dizzy, and the companies he mentioned are all powerful. A high-quality company with great development potential. After watching it, people were really gluttonous, and then they understood why he wanted to give up the industry in Hong Kong. If you have a big business in the United States, you naturally don't look down on Hong Kong.

The launch of newspaper features and magazine special editions has once again restored confidence in Hui's Group. The stock of Xu's supermarket climbed directly to 15 yuan per share, two yuan higher than the previous highest stock price, which fully shows people's trust in Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu's interview was transmitted back to the United States, and it immediately caused a sensation in the United States. Although the Americans know that this is called Stanley. Xu people will dig up the biggest and most beautiful piece of cake from the film market every year, but they don't know that he has privately acquired so many companies. CAA Brokers, Inc., Industrial Light & Magic Special Effects Inc. 20th Century Fox, National Entertainment...... Each of them is a major company in the American film industry. Each of these companies now has a majority shareholder. That's Xu Guanwu! This was a very terrible thing, and the Americans couldn't help but cry out in horror, "The wolf is coming!" ”

However, for the overreaction of the Americans, Xu Guanwu does not need to go out in person, and naturally someone will help him play a round. Lei Shidong jumped out and accused this kind of slogan "the wolf is coming" as a very racist word. He gave an example of Xu Guanwu's idea of not manipulating the American film market, "He didn't participate in the decision-making of any National Entertainment Company, he authorized all the voting rights to me, so he didn't actually participate in the operation of National Entertainment Company." And as far as I know, Stanley. Hsu is a very gentle and lazy person, and he has never been involved in the operation of 20th Century Fox, nor has he been involved in the operation of CAA Brokers. ”

Lei Shidong's words were quickly echoed by 20th Century Fox and CAA, proving that Xu Guanwu did not have the idea of manipulating the company to change the ecology of the American film industry. These statements also have a series of evidence that have reduced the hostility of a large part of the population.

A subsequent third-party report pointed out that Xu Guanwu's annual investment in the United States provides at least 50,000 jobs in the United States and indirectly benefits 500,000 people. As a result, Xu Guanwu's image is even higher, and Americans have always valued the unemployment rate, especially politicians, and they are very concerned about the employment rate of workers in their constituencies.

Because the United States is a high-consumption, early-consumption country, if workers lose their jobs, their lives will immediately fall into poverty. Because most of them have little or no savings in the bank, they have to rely on credit cards to get by, and once they stop working and can't pay off their card bills, they will face the danger of bankruptcy. When the time comes, the bank will ruthlessly apply for the seizure of the cardholder's car, house, and even anything of value.

And once the item is seized by the bank, you don't think it will sell for a high price. Maybe a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars will also be sold at a very low price, and it will be too late to cry at that time. Therefore, guaranteeing the employment rate is the first issue that the selected candidate has to commit to, and only when the problem of local residents' jobs is solved, will he express his support on other things. Otherwise, you will soon be homeless, and the ghost will vote for you.

And Xu Guanwu, who can provide at least 50,000 jobs, is like Santa Claus to them. Xu Guanwu invested in making films, investing in opening companies, and investing in the construction of factories, all of which require a lot of talent, and he himself has money, and he has no habit of defaulting on employees' wages, and he has no other bad records, which is simply the best boss for American politicians.

As for the nationality issue, which has been criticized by the outside world, it is not a big problem in the eyes of these politicians. After all, Hong Kong is still under British jurisdiction. And Xu Guanwu holds a Hong Kong passport. It is also basically equivalent to a British passport. The United States, on the other hand, recognizes dual citizenship. There are many people who take both British and American passports, so Xu Guanwu can be regarded as a British with a double passport, which is equivalent to his own people. So nationality is definitely not a problem, race is definitely not a problem, skin color is definitely not a problem, as long as he can continue to invest in the United States and continue to create jobs for the American people. It would be nice to continue paying taxes for the US treasury.

Of course, the United States is a pluralistic society, and there will always be different voices, and some people are very unhappy with Xu Guanwu, and they also criticize his investment in the United States. However, for Xu Guanwu, these accusations are still within the scope of bearability, and basically will not have a big impact on his future development.

……

Although newspapers and magazines said that Xu Guanwu had taken a back seat in order to devote more energy to American business, in fact, Xu Guanwu had been staying in Hong Kong and had not gone anywhere. Usually I live a good life, either teasing the children or coaxing the wife, and I can live as comfortably as I want every day. As for the business in the United States, it is natural that someone will take care of it. His statement is more of an excuse.

After being idle at home for a month, Xu Guanwu took the time to finish reading all the books in the study. When I am bored. "Love in a Fallen City" starring Lin Qingxia also happened to be completed, and Xu Guanwu hadn't been with Qingxia for a long time. It's either that she is too busy and tired from filming, or Xu Guanwu doesn't have time here, and now that Qingxia is finally free, Xu Guanwu wants to find an opportunity to go out to eat together, or do something else, so as to increase the interest.

I was thinking about what to do, but I saw a report on the entertainment page of the newspaper, titled "The most murderous movie in Hong Kong's history, I don't know if I don't know how to watch it, I'm shocked". Looking at the title, it is really quite exaggerated, and after reading the content, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nod, admitting that what the title says is quite reasonable. The film introduced in this report is "Mountain Dog" directed by Yu Yunkang.

"Mountain Dogs" is a classic work by New Wave director Yu Yunkang, telling the story of several young men and women who go on an outing in the mountains, but are insulted by several hooligans, and some are beaten to death by hooligans. Later, the father of a young woman was determined to take revenge and killed the hooligans by all kinds of cruel means.

The so-called mountain dogs are called these hooligans on the mountain, they are idle and idle in production, and they have nowhere to vent their energy, so they cause trouble everywhere.

The movie "Mountain Dog" is the best in the CULT film, with both bow and female scenes, as well as abuse and killing scenes, which can be said to be a fusion of cesium love and violence. Director Yu Yunkang was quite bold to transplant the violent horror elements of European and American C-grade films to the Hong Kong screen after a slight modification, because of the boldness of the subject matter, the bloody picture, and the brutality of the means, it immediately attracted a vote of energetic young people to watch, so the box office was quite high in the first week after its release.

But it's a pity that success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, although such a violent and terrifying movie is sought after by young people, but it has been condemned by public opinion, and has been criticized since the midnight test screening, because the director exaggerates the violence and makes people uncomfortable when watching the movie. Moreover, the release of such a violent and bloody movie is easy to teach bad young people and create a bad example for society, so it petitioned the Hong Kong Governor's Office to ban it.

Some people called for the ban on the movie "Mountain Dog", and naturally some people called for leniency. The opposing side pointed out that movies with themes like "Mountain Dogs" have actually been released in the United States. Like that "Kill No Left" is more bloody and violent than "Mountain Dog", but it was already released in the United States a few years ago. If Hong Kong films want to catch up with and surpass the United States, they must learn to be tolerant, because tolerance is great.

Some people call for banning, some people call for tolerance, and some people take advantage of the chaos to fight Taipingquan, and the report published in this newspaper is actually taking the middle route and taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

Xu Guanwu had also admired the movie "Mountain Dogs" before, but he really didn't have the courage to watch it, mainly because those mountain dogs were so ugly that he couldn't be interested in watching them at all. Yu Yunkang's "Murder List" still has handsome men and beauties such as Qin Xianglin , Yu Qixia , etc., but in the back of the film "Mountain Dog", only ugly men are left, especially the rotten teeth of Guan Jianming, who plays Parselly, which is really impossible to look at.

However, it is worth mentioning that in this film, Zheng Zeshi also starred in one of the mountain dogs, and he is also the most cowardly and useless one. Zheng Zeshi played an incompetent, timid, cowardly, and fearful image of a mountain dog very well, proving that people have been acting for a long time.

Xu Guanwu was bored, and he couldn't find anything to do with Lin Qingxia, eating was too ordinary, he was not good at singing and dancing, and he didn't have enough time to travel, so it was better to go to a movie.

"Then let's go see 'Mountain Dogs.'" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile cheaply, and many inappropriate pictures had already come to mind in his mind. (To be continued......)
