In 1973, the Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong stock market plummeted from 1,700 points to more than 500 points, and some of the most sought-after blue-chip stocks fell by at least 70 percent and a half, resulting in heavy losses.

At the end of the same year, Arab oil-producing countries announced a higher price hike, and oil soared from $3 to $10 per barrel. The oil crisis plunged the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries into the worst recession since World War II.

Affected by this, the Hong Kong stock market plummeted again in '74, and the Hang Seng Index fell by 60% after falling 75% last year!

Hong Kong's economy is in turmoil.

Affected by this, the real estate industry is also sluggish, the price of building haode real estate has fallen again and again, and the construction of haute real estate has also stopped and become an unfinished building.

Xu Guanwu chose this time to enter the market and buy the bottom.

With hundreds of millions of dollars earned from Hollywood, Leung Shuyi, with the support of Xu Guanwu, began a large-scale merger of Jihua.

At that time, Hong Kong's economy was in a downward spiral, countless real estate developers went bankrupt and went bankrupt, and no one bought the house left there.

The unit that originally required more than 200,000 yuan to buy can now be purchased for only tens of thousands of yuan.

Leung Shuyi threw a lot of money in her hand, like a dragon girl with good fortune descending to earth.

Under her generous investment, in just a few months, Xu Guanwu has more than 20 commercial buildings and nearly one million square meters of properties, and has become a veritable land king in Hong Kong.

These 20 commercial buildings cost Xu Guanwu a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, except for the ground floor for the construction of multiplex cinemas, the rest of the floors are all rented. It can earn more than HK$30,000,000 in rent for Xu Guanwu every year.

Hui's Brothers Company also changed guns, from a façade room of less than 100 square meters to a thousand square meters of office buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie are each assigned to an office with 100 square meters, where they can not only dance or even play ball.

"Wow! In the new office, it just feels different. Hui Guanying stood in front of the window of the conference room, looking at Victoria Harbour Road in the distance.

"Big brother, our company has moved from the façade room to the office building, which can be regarded as a new stage." Xu Guanwu sat at the conference table and said with a smile, "Do you have any ideas for the future development of the company?" ”

Xu Guanwen sat on the boss's chair, looking at the scenery outside the window and was also ambitious, "Ah Wu, now that the company has your capital injection, our financial resources can already compete with Jiahe." But there is still a lack of talent, so the first step is to poach people. ”

"Digging people?!" Xu Guanjie was stunned, "We have an agreement with Jiahe that we can't dig each other's corners, so we can only start with Shaw Brothers." ”

"Well, that's exactly what I thought. Shaw Brothers has always paid its employees very little, and there are many complaints from employees about this. I believe that as long as we can afford the high price, we will definitely be able to poach a lot of people. Xu Guan said with a smile, "I have made a list, let's see who can be poached." ”

Xu Guanwen said and took out a list from the folder, which was densely written with a list of all the staff members of the Shaw Brothers.

From the top of the management to the tricky Curry Fei, from the popular movie stars who are prominent in front of people to the staff behind the scenes, everything that can be called is among them.

Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie have all spent some time in Shaw Brothers, so they are naturally familiar with the characters on this list.

Xu Guanwu took the list and looked at it carefully, looking for the characters who had an impression in his mind.

Needless to say, the two directors Zhang Che and Li Hanxiang are impossible to come to the Xu Brothers company anyway, unless after the Shaw Brothers closed Zhang in the 80s.

It's just that by that time, Zhang Che was already dying, and the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and he had been slapped on the beach by Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Xinyicheng.

And Li Hanxiang probably went to the mainland at that time to shoot "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" that he wanted to shoot the most.

Director Hu Jinquan still has some opportunities.

Xu Guanwu vaguely remembers that the big director first became famous at Shaw Brothers, and then went to Taiwan to make a few movies, but although the reputation was good, the box office failed miserably.

As a result, no one dared to ask him to film until the nineties and Tsui Hark co-directed Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "Smiling Proud Jianghu". But it's a pity that the cooperation between the two is not thorough.

Halfway through the filming, Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan had friction.

Director Hu Jinquan withdrew from the film in a rage, and Yue Hua, who played Yue Buqun, also stopped acting, which made Tsui Hark have to start again, which led to a surge in costs, making "Smiling Proud Jianghu" not make much money.

Although the film directed by director Hu Da is not high at the box office, he is a good player when it comes to winning awards, and he has a wide range of contacts in the film industry.

With the great directors Li Hanxiang, Jiang Guangchao, Song Cunshou and others became brothers with different surnames, and synthesized the "Seven Leisures".

Li Hanxiang is naturally familiar to everyone, the founder of Huangmei Tune, Fengyue Film, and Qing Palace Opera, and a generation of film masters. Jiang Guangchao is an artist, comedian, comedian, and a senior apprentice of Mr. Ma Lianliang, a famous Peking Opera artist. Song Cunshou, a famous Taiwanese director, is known for filming aiqing literary films, and his biggest achievement is to single-handedly discover star actors such as Lin Qingxia and Qin Han.

The popular actor Yue Hua of the Shaw Brothers, the martial arts actress Zheng Peipei, Xu Feng and others are all his top apprentices, and there are countless other movie stars that he found and promoted.

"If you can invite director Hu Jinquan into the company, it will be a living bodhisattva who can hold the temple." Xu Guanwu drew a circle on Hu Jinquan's name with a pen, "Now this director Hu Jinquan should be filming in Taiwan." ”

After selecting director Hu Jinquan, Xu Guanwu flipped down and saw Chu Yuan's name at once.

"Huh?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scream.

"What, second brother, do you have any suggestions?" Xu Guanwen asked curiously.

Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie also looked at each other.

"I feel good about this director Chu Yuan." Xu Guanwu pointed to Chu Yuan's name and said.

He remembered reading reports before that director Chu Yuan was once known as "Chu Wan", and he was best at making movies adapted from Gu Long's martial arts novels.

"Director Chu Yuan? He's really good, but it's hard to recruit him. Xu Guanjie said, "The "Seventy-Two Tenants" he filmed last year was second only to our "Ghost Horse Double Star" at the box office, and it was even more popular than Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon". With such a blockbuster director, how could Shaw Brothers release him? ”

"Well, anyway, let's give it a try. What if it works? Xu Guanwu drew a circle on Chu Yuan's name.

"Huh?! Second brother, why did you even choose Hu Jinquan, the director? Your appetite is just too big. Xu Guanwen pointed to Hu Jinquan's name and smiled, "People are a big director, so they may not fall in love with our company." ”
