And in this way, the selection of the seventh person will not be limited to the Xu Film Company. Xu Guanwu wants to involve people from other companies under his umbrella, so that it can be more convenient to integrate into one, so as to ensure that all decisions can be implemented.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu's current candidates include Zheng Donghan, the manager of Yisheng Records, Lian Mosheng, the president of Tiantian Daily, Liu Tianci, the principal of Xinghui Art School, Ruan Muhua, the chief agent of Superstar Manager Company, Fang Jin, the manager of Stanley Market Research Company, and so on.

These are all the backbone members of the Hui Group, and most of Xu Guanwu's business in Hong Kong is in charge of these few people, and Xu Guanwu is also very appreciative of their ability, and they can be regarded as usable talents.

However, there is only one vacancy in the seven-person group now, so who to choose and who not to choose makes Xu Guanwu a little embarrassed. Now that he heard the fourth child Xu Guanjie ask, he thought about it and decided to say what he thought.

……

When they heard Xu Guanwu say that he planned to merge Xu's Film Company into Xu's Group, the three brothers present were not surprised. In their opinion, in fact, Xu's Pictures and Xu Guanwu's Xu's Group are already one, but they just lack such a formality.

At the moment, the three brothers did not object, and they also believed that Xu Guanwu would give them a good price. Subsequently, Xu Guanwu put forward his own candidate for the seventh person.

After listening to Xu Guanwu's proposal, the three brothers couldn't help but be stunned. It is true that these people are eligible to enter the seven-member group, but unfortunately there is only one place, so it is bound to disappoint more people.

"Big brother, which one do you say is better?" Xu Guanwu asked Xu Guanwen.

"I'm starting to wonder if you have other plans. So I originally wanted Cheng Long. Xu Guanwen smiled.

"I originally chose screenwriter Huang Baiming. I don't think it's a director in a group of seven. It's an actor, or a manager, and there's a lack of a screenwriter. That's why I remembered him. Xu Guanying scratched her head and said.

"My thoughts are similar to the third brother, I chose Huang Bingyao." Xu Guanjie also smiled embarrassedly.

"Then let's get rid of the people we chose before, and then choose them again now." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but admire the eyes of his brothers when he heard it, in fact, he also planned to choose Huang Baiming for the first time. Because the Seven Monsters of the New Art City in the previous life were so famous, even Xu Guanwu's seven-person group was built in imitation of it.

And the Seven Monsters of New Art City work together. has indeed made a lot of good movies, which makes Xu Guanwu very admired. So I can't help but want to organize the Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng again. Zeng Zhiwei was able to enter the seven-member group mainly for this reason. In fact, with his qualifications at the time, he was actually not qualified.

……

Hearing Xu Guanwu say this, the four brothers began to think about it again, but these people have their own good, how can they be selected so easily.

Xu Guanwu also thought about it for several days without coming up with an answer, and always felt that the palm of his hand was also meat, and the back of his hand was also meat. I chose this and was afraid of that jealousy, and I chose that and I was afraid of this opposition.

Now he finally understood Sir Shao's difficulties. It's no wonder that Shaw Brothers said they wanted to change, but they never succeeded. His old courtiers have been working hard for more than a year or two, and they all have deep feelings for each other. How easy is it to cut at them?

And large foreign companies encounter this kind of problem. The common practice is to make substitutions. Change a newcomer who has nothing to do with the stage, and then cut it down with a big slash. Anyway, it's a newcomer, there are not too many interests to do, and there is no favor to talk about, so I just cut these old people, and then the people who supported them immediately took the position.

Relying on this method, many companies have taken advantage of this to get rid of their burdens, travel lightly, and regain their vitality. However, companies such as those owned by Chinese are basically family businesses and do not invite outsiders to manage their own companies. So when the older generation is about to retire, most of the successors are their own children. For example, Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China, was succeeded by his son; Sun Hung Kai Properties, also succeeded by his son; The family of Macau gambling king Ho Hongshen is also succeeded by his children......

And if the children are incapable, or do not want to take over at all, they generally do not choose an outsider to take charge of the business, but choose to sell the company directly to someone else. For example, the TVB in Sir Shao's hands, because there are no children to take over, he would rather sell TVB; Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, when he was about to retire, his children were not able to take charge of Golden Harvest, so he was also sold to Chengtian Entertainment in the end.

However, this kind of affection complex is relatively rare in the West, and many companies will hire professional managers to take care of it, rather than passing it on to their children. It is relatively rare for a son to inherit his father's business.

……

"Second brother, how about choosing Mr. Liu Tianci into the seven-person group?" Xu Guanying thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "He is not only a screenwriter, but also the principal of Xinghui Art School, and he is also a producer in TVB, so it can be said that one person represents three stores." Besides, he is a disciple of the eldest brother, so there is no need to worry that he will run away. ”

"Liu Tianci?! is indeed a good candidate, what do you think, big brother? Xu Guanwu nodded and asked.

"Tianci is indeed a talent, and he is definitely qualified to be selected for the seven-member team. But if it's either you and my brother or a disciple in a group of seven, will it make the others feel alienated?! It's not a good thing to give the impression of cronyism. Xu Guanwen hesitated and said.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Speaking of which, then Mr. Liu Tianci will be eliminated." ”

Everyone nodded together and continued to think about it.

"Second brother, you said to invite Zheng Donghan into the seven-person group, how about it?" Xu Guanjie suddenly proposed, "He is the manager of Yisheng Records, and Yisheng Records is now a large company, and its share of the Hong Kong record market is no worse than that of the old Polygram." He definitely qualifies for the group of seven. ”

"He's making music, we're making movies, won't it be out of tune?" Xu Guanying said with a frown.

"No, isn't there music in the movie, isn't the music MV like a micro-movie?" Xu Guanjie waved his hand and said, "Now it's like the Wenna Band's film and television songs, I don't know how popular Lu Dao is." It can be seen that singers and film and television stars can actually take care of both. And there are many famous singers under Yisheng Records. The popularity is also very high. It's just the right time to introduce them to the film industry. With their high popularity, the movie is sure to make a good box office. ”

"What Ah Sam said makes a lot of sense, and I also think Zheng Donghan is a good candidate. I believe that the introduction of him to the seven-member group will allow our movie stars and singers to have a wider development. Xu Guanwu nodded.

"What about the other candidates? Daily News, TVB, and superstar manager companies are also very important. TVB is not only the best publicity channel, but also a talent training base; The daily newspaper is the most important public opinion mouth, and it is also an important place for propaganda; Superstar Manager Company controls all its artists, although the position is not too obvious. But it is the core of the central government, and it cannot be ignored. After Xu Guanying heard this, she couldn't help but ask again.

"That's good, let's add a spectator seat, and all the above people who are not selected will be put on the spectator seat. They have the right to listen and speak, but not to vote. Xu Guanwen proposed.

"In this case, the number of participants is a bit large, and it is difficult to gather all of them at once." Xu Guanwu frowned and said, "Besides, there are many people involved." Secrecy is much more difficult. Perhaps one of them was not strong-willed and leaked the content of the meeting. Then we're really out of luck. ”

"The second brother thinks that it is better to reduce the number of people as much as possible in a high-level meeting like this. If we leak the content of our meeting like Zeng Zhiwei and let people know about our development plan, it is undoubtedly a very big loss for our company. Xu Guanjie also nodded and said, "Just like this time, we have to stop all the current shooting plans, and the direct loss is at least more than five million." The indirect loss is even greater, at least more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If we come a few more times, our company will not want to be profitable again this year. ”

"In that case, let's just let Zheng Donghan enter the seven-person group first, and the others will wait for observation one after another." Xu Guanwu nodded.

The three brothers unanimously approved the promotion of Zheng Donghan to the seven-member decision-making group.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu announced that he would take Hui's Brothers Film Company under his command with 100 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, plus 20% of the shares of the Hui Group.

As soon as the report came out, it caused an uproar in Hong Kong public opinion. 100 million Hong Kong dollars is simply sky-high. I think that when the Xu Brothers company was just established, the registered capital was the one million Hong Kong dollars invested by Golden Harvest.

Now, three years later, the market value is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the market value has increased 100 times. Not to mention that the 20% shares of the Hui Group are worth more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Hui's Group owns companies such as Brilliant Cinemas, Tiantian Daily, TVB, Superstar Manager Company, Yisheng Records, etc., with a market value of at least 800 million Hong Kong dollars. Twenty percent of the shares are 160 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention how great the development prospects are.

This deal was definitely taken advantage of by the Xu brothers, but Xu Guanwu didn't care about it. The Hui Group is only a small part of all his current industries, and the real money-making investments such as Cheung Kong Industrial, Henderson Land, and Hopewell Real Estate, as well as Hollywood's National Entertainment Company, 20th Century Fox, and Stanley Angel Investment Fund are not counted in the Hui Group. And those investments are the real big ones, at least worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, which is definitely a shocking wealth.

Hong Kong citizens are already a little numb to the Xu family's sky-high prices again and again. For them, a few million Hong Kong dollars may be enough, but hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are too far away. Even if you buy a racecourse to win, it will take a lot of time to earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars. So what do they want to do with something they can't even dream of?!

However, the sworn enemies of the Xu family such as Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers were a little panicked when they heard the news, because the official merger of the Xu Brothers Film Company into the Xu Group, and the cost was such a huge price, indicating that Xu Guanwu was about to make a big move.

And this big move involving hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars has been so extraordinary from the beginning, and how earth-shattering it will be after it is done, you can imagine how earth-shattering. 】

Xu Guanwu's practice is not shocking, and when he first published the "Tian Tian Daily" for free, he subverted the entire newspaper market in Hong Kong; Improving the welfare of screenwriters and allowing employees to participate in dividends immediately attracted many talents and broke the talent monopoly of Shaw Brothers; The cooperation system launched by the superstar manager company has attracted many film companies, and since then the Xu Brothers Film Company has no longer been isolated......

The implementation of these systems has changed the practice that has been in place for many years and subverted the existing rules. And now Xu Guanwu is obviously going to have new ideas again, and no one can guess what he plans to do next, so everyone is on guard.

But then, Xu Guanwu did not make any other big moves except to promote Zheng Donghan to the new seven-member team.

Xu's still makes movies, releases records, promotes new talents, and broadcasts TV series as usual, and there are no other big moves, which can't help but make other rival companies wonder. (To be continued......)
