Chapter 407: An Iron Rice Bowl That Can't Be Provoked

Xu Guanwen spent some time in the mainland when he was a child, so his impression of the mainland is naturally not as bad as others, but it is not very good. Unexpectedly, the second brother was younger than him, but he had such a deep local affection for the mainland, which really surprised Xu Guanwen.

But now that the disaster has come down, it's too late to say anything, and the things that should be solved still have to be solved. Xu Guanwen sighed, and could only go to Wanwan helplessly to apologize to others, after all, people are under the low eaves, how dare not bow their heads.

"Ah Wu, please don't act so recklessly next time. I haven't seen how good the mainland is yet, but how important Wanwan is to us is that all Hong Kong filmmakers know it. Xu Guanwen persuaded Xu Guanwu with a bitter face.

Although it was just to accompany the smiling face and spend a few dollars to have a few meals, Xu Guanwen still felt very humiliated. He is also frank and unrestrained in his life, and he has never done anything with a clear conscience, but he didn't expect to apologize to others now. Alas, it is full of bitterness to say it.

"Big brother, don't be in a hurry to blame me first, wait a few years and you'll know why I'm doing this." Xu Guanwu saw that his eldest brother was angry, and hurriedly explained, "Big brother, think about it, when have I ever done something boring?" ”

"Okay, you have a point, but let's talk to us about it next time." Xu Guanwen thought for a while and said, "There are some things that you don't want to make up your mind by yourself, just give everyone a breath in advance, and you won't make such a big trouble." ”

"Some things are difficult to explain clearly," Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "In short, don't worry, big brother, I won't mess around." ”

"I hope that's the case, then I'll go to Wanwan this time. You don't want to make anything happen again. lest they let me come back. Xu Guanwen smiled.

"Don't worry, big brother, I promise not to mess around anymore." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "By the way, if the anger over there is relatively big, try to solve it with money." As long as it does not exceed NT$100 million. ”

"You're rich, okay, I'll pay attention." Xu Guanwen nodded, "Just remember not to mess around in the future." ”

……

Although he was annoyed that the second brother made his own decisions, the company's business in Wanwan was affected. But the eldest brother Xu Guanwen still couldn't bear to be harsh, and after only reminding him a little, he went to Wanwan to make amends.

After arriving in Wanwan, under the recommendation of the Bamboo Federation, there were some film circles. Friends in the music industry mediated and finally settled the matter peacefully. In fact, Wanwan just wants to look good. I really want to ban Hong Kong and prevent them from traveling with the mainland. It's something that can't be done at all.

Later, in the early 80s, many filmmakers went to the mainland to shoot movies under false names, but they didn't see Wanwan make any moves. It's just that Liang Jiahui, Liu Jialiang and others made too much noise before they were banned by the Wanwan government. Speaking of Liu Jialiang's banning, he was actually quite innocent, he was entrusted by Shao Yifu's boss to go to the mainland to shoot "North and South Shaolin". Before I went, I said it well, and if something happens, Boss Shao will carry it alone, and he will definitely not make it difficult for his subordinates.

As a result, Liu Jialiang stayed in the mainland for a year and a half, and after he returned, the Shaw Brothers closed down. And he was directly blocked by Wanwan because he went to the mainland to film. For a while, he fell to the point of having nowhere to go, and he was idle at home for more than two years. In the end, Xinyicheng was bold enough to invite Master Liu Jialiang to shoot "Tiger Guard". Although Master Liu Jialiang has always paid attention to real kung fu, the "Tiger Guard" directed and filmed by him is very popular, and the shootout film plus kung fu film is quite good-looking, and the boss Mai Jia also shouted under the box office hit, and there is no vanity under the fame.

Later, he was invited to shoot the fifth part of the "Best Partner" series, but Liu Jialiang's master's real kung fu problem came out again. abandoned the consistent high-tech gimmicks of the "Best Partner" series, and let King Kong and the bald detective start to work hard, and also bluntly added a satirical plot in the mainland, which made people disappointed after watching it. "Best Partner" also suffered a big loss at the box office, and at the same time announced the end of the highest-grossing film series in Hong Kong.

As soon as Xu Guanwen went, he lowered his posture, asked for wine and sent money, and successfully settled the matter a few days later. But after this trip, seeing the ugliness of the Wanwan government officials, Xu Guanwen couldn't help but feel that maybe the second brother's choice was right. After the civil war, the Kuomintang has been hiding in Wanwan for decades, and it still can't see the situation clearly and wants to counterattack, how can a party like this who doesn't know the current affairs do a good job in Wanwan?!

In addition, because of corruption, the people's grievances were surging, and they were driven to Wanwan after losing the hearts of the people, but decades have passed and there has been no progress. Originally, things were not handled so neatly, Xu Guanwen threw over NT$1 million one by one, and immediately stopped talking with a smile. The ugliness of seeing money made Xu Guanwen think of those corrupt officials of the British authorities in Hong Kong before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. It's like it's printed out of a mold, and people can't help but gag when they see it.

……

During Xu Guanwen's trip to Taiwan to plead guilty, Xu Guanwu remitted funds to the mainland and began to build his own cinema in Yuezhou City. Because skyscrapers will be built on it in the future, Xu Guanwu specially instructed the builders to dig deeper, and it is best to see magma.

However, the staff members who were sent back later came back with an angry face, and it turned out that all the people who are now engaged in the construction in the mainland are people from state-owned units, serving iron rice bowls and eating big pot rice, and grinding foreign workers there all day and night, but their wages cannot be reduced for a day. The architects sent by Hong Kong could not command them at all, and they had to stare at them when they said two words, and if they hadn't retreated, it would have been possible to be beaten.

After listening to the complaints of these architects, Xu Guanwu thought that it seemed that the state-owned units in the mainland were so bullish. Before the reform and opening up, the state-owned units in the mainland were all eating from a big pot, and there was no such thing as bankruptcy and layoffs. After Lao Tzu retired, his son took over the work and took over the stubble in the factory. At that time, the factory was really the home of the workers, the factory provided dormitories, some factories provided housing, the factories opened elementary schools, junior high schools and even high schools, the factories opened dance halls, cinemas, television stations, and the factories were responsible for the birth, old age, death and burial, and so on.

And a big pot of rice, an iron rice bowl. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you basically take the salary and give the benefits, so the workers in the first class have a temper. Xu Guanwu said that he had already paid the wages and should have started and completed the work truthfully, but they didn't care about that, anyway, it was the money for a day of hard work, and it was also the money for a day of hard work, anyway, as long as the iron rice bowl did not break the law, the factory would not take them.

These architects sent by Hong Kong are even more out of the question. People don't bird him at all. As a result, I was busy for a week, nothing was done, the raw materials that should have been dismantled were not dismantled, and the raw materials that should have been sent were not delivered, what was it like a week ago, and what was still the case a week later. It's just that there are some more big uncles.

Although Xu Guanwu didn't mind the project going slowly, he was also very dissatisfied with taking money and not working like this. If there are employees in Hong Kong who dare to do this. He was expelled early. And then he is allowed to go wild there?! However, after all, the mainland is different from Hong Kong, Hong Kong is a private business, and the most important thing is efficiency. However, the mainland is a public business, and it is a matter of doing more and doing less, and doing good and bad. This is originally a system problem, and it is difficult for Xu Guanwu to turn things around with the strength of Xu Guanwu alone.

In desperation. Xu Guanwu had no choice but to ask President Liang and Xi for help, it was impossible for him to have the design drawings on his side, the addresses had been selected, and the money was already in place. Everything that needs to be done is done, and the last thing is stuck on this construction unit. If this kind of cooperation is the attitude, then in the future, if Hong Kong businessmen go to the mainland to build factories, the money will be invested, but the construction unit will not start construction, and it will drag on for a year and a half, then the Hong Kong businessmen will suffer a big loss? When the time comes, it will be difficult to get Hong Kong companies to invest.

Xu Guanwu's reaction immediately attracted the attention of the Guangdong Provincial Government. After all, Xu Guanwu is considered to be the vanguard of reform and opening up, and if he, the vanguard, is not well received, then don't expect that Hong Kong businessmen will continue to come. Isn't reform and opening up just an empty word?! President Liang also apologized to Xu Guanwu again and again, asking him to trust the government and solve this matter to ensure that the brilliant theater can be completed on schedule.

After Xu Guanwu received the leader's assurance, he also said that he would not continue to pursue the matter, but this incident still reminded him that there are some things that should not be taken for granted, and the mainland that Xu Guanwu is familiar with is the post-90s generation, and in the new century, at that time, reform and opening up have already achieved results, and people's enthusiasm has been greatly improved.

At present, the slogan of reform and opening up has not yet been shouted, and it is only trying at present, and neither the officials nor the people have the concept of free competition, so the action seems to be slow and half a beat. This is naturally very different from the mainland in Xu Guanwu's impression, and therefore there will naturally be some disputes over cooperation. reach

And another reminder I got is that crying children have milk to eat, and it is a waste of resources to guard President Liang and a big leader like Xi to not get close. Although Xu Guanwu does not know how capable President Lu Daoliang is, he must be a remarkable figure to be the president of the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong, and if such a person can make friends, he will definitely help his business in the mainland in the future.

As for Leader Xi, not to mention, Xu Guanwu didn't dare to fight his idea, but it would be best if he could further tie up the relationship. After all, the future supreme leader is the son of someone else.

Under the concern of the leaders, the construction speed of the brilliant cinema was really immediately improved, and the leaders of the engineering team also specially invited the architects in Hong Kong to drink a meal, while complaining, "Since there is this relationship, you should have said it earlier, otherwise why would such a misunderstanding occur, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family." ”

Those Hong Kong architects were also confused, where did they get their relationship in the mainland? However, when they heard these engineering teams say this, they thought of their boss Xu Guanwu, who must have asked someone to speak. This can't help but make these architects sigh, worthy of being the top rich people in Hong Kong, even the mainland can be connected to each other, and it is easy to talk here, and the rich are amazing.

……

The increase in the construction speed of the brilliant cinema line is not only a happy event for Xu Guanwu, but also an annoyance. Although he has been dealing with the mainland for a long time, he is also willing to let Hong Kong films enter the mainland market and pave a way for them to live in the future. However, after staying in the mainland for half a year and experiencing the political, economic, and cultural life of that era, Xu Guanwu felt that he was thinking about things too simply.

With the strictness of cultural censorship and the conservative style of work in the mainland, it is completely unimaginable to later generations. In the movies released in the mainland, intimate scenes are absolutely not allowed, not to mention hemp scenes, not even kiss scenes, hugging and hugging will not work either.

And it is particularly ideological, and Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" may still be released. But things like Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist", Hong Jingbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu", etc., cannot be released, the reason is that there is no educational value in messing around.
