Chapter 364: The Seventh Man (I)
"Xu Guanwu is back on a private jet!"
This news quickly shocked the whole of Hong Kong, vividly explaining what a top rich man is, which is extremely impressive.
There are sports cars, yachts, and antiques in Hong Kong, but those who play airplanes are still private business jets, and Xu Guanwu is undoubtedly the only one.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about its sky-high price of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars is already staggering. At this time, it was the 70s, not the 80s or 90s, and 100 million Hong Kong dollars was really an astronomical amount.
In his previous life, before Li Ka-shing annexed Hutchison Whampoa, the market value of the entire Cheung Kong Industrial was only about 780 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, a skyscraper in Tsim Sha Tsui cost only about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and it could be built into a landmark building.
It can be seen how amazingly expensive this private jet worth tens of millions is.
The departure of Zeng Zhiwei, who was a senior executive of the company, caused Xu to suffer a lot of cold words.
"Call you to take it, and see the retribution now! The company's top management has started to leave, and sooner or later everyone will leave together, so that your company is finished! "Something like this is something on the streets.
Hong Kong people are willing to get together to watch the excitement, especially under the influence of today's materialistic desires and hatred of the rich, all this kind of drama of wealthy family fights, grievances and hatreds is the most enjoyable. Otherwise, there would not be so many gossip tabloids and TV series with this theme in Hong Kong.
Xu's was originally a large company, especially the sudden rise in recent years, making a lot of money when the economy was in recession, which was easy to arouse the jealousy of others. Now it's good. Something like this is going on. All the hatred before exploded.
Everyone stared at each other and wanted to see Xu's bad luck. But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Xu's second child came back on a private jet. And it is worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, let alone sitting in a seat, ordinary people have never seen a private business jet.
This is simply a shocking reversal, which shatters everyone's eggs at once.
β¦β¦
The King Air 200 aircraft slowly landed at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, and Mr. and Mrs. Hui stepped off the plane first.
The bodyguards at home have already been waiting in the airport in their cars, and they don't need to go through customs inspections and other clichΓ©s, and they can get in the car and go home directly. That's the preferential treatment that the richest get in the dark.
The six crew members were arranged to live in the Peach Garden apartment. It is right next to Kai Tak Airport. After receiving the call, we set off immediately, and we can get to the airport in less than ten minutes, which is very convenient.
Xu Guanwu and his wife went home first, and they have been away for nearly a month, and they really miss this home.
Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, and Xu's parents were all waiting for him at Xu Guanwu's house, and when they saw the two of them coming back, they couldn't help but smile and say, "Ha, I'm happy outside." Leave us busy in Hong Kong. Second child, I really have you. β
"Big brother. If you want to go outside, I'm definitely for you. Xu Guanwu hurriedly smiled and said, "I will lend you the plane, you say go to the UK if you go to the UK, go to Hawaii if you go to Hawaii, and go to Canada if you go to Canada!" It just so happens that my sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's good to go out for a vacation. A breath of fresh air and a look at the beauty of nature is also good for your baby's development. β
"I don't want to go out, it's not as good as our Hong Kong." The sister-in-law hurriedly smiled and refused, "I can't get used to foreign food, either potatoes or fried fish, or pizza and fried chicken, how can Hong Kong's roast meat be so fragrant?" β
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
"Second brother, how about borrowing me for a few days on your plane, I want to take Lin Bao to Australia to have a fun." Xu Guanjie said with a smile.
"No problem, go to Australia, it's only a few hours, it's faster than going to Central." Xu Guanwu nodded, "When do you want to use it, just give those pilots a call." β
"Second Brother Xie Lu." Xu Guanjie suddenly said with a happy smile.
"Ah Wu, the plane you bought is too expensive, it's better to be diligent and thrifty." Father Xu suddenly lectured.
"Oh, I'll try to buy a cheap one next time." Xu Guanwu nodded immediately, making everyone laugh.
This plane is already expensive enough, and thinking about buying another one is really not a good money.
β¦β¦
In order to welcome Xu Guanwu and his wife back, the Xu family specially prepared a sumptuous family banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the young couple.
After a full meal, Zhao Yazhi and Lin Bao sent the two old people home, and then chatted with their sister-in-law Chen Jieying, tried on the fashion purchased by Zhao Yazhi together, and told interesting stories about their experience in the United States.
They chatted with each other, and the four Xu brothers gathered in Xu Guanwu's study to discuss big things in the company.
"Zeng Zhiwei's departure, you also know the second brother." The four of them were silent for a while, and then Xu Guanwen said, "I am mainly to blame for this matter, I didn't keep them in jail, and now let him go to Jiahe, which has brought a very bad impact to our company." β
"Big brother, don't blame yourself." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "The so-called sky is going to rain, and my mother wants to get married." If he wants to leave, if you are with him, he will also want to get out and leave. β
"What the second brother said is that we are kind enough to treat people. It was because he wanted to fill the gap and wanted to be long, so he chose to leave the company. Actually, it has nothing to do with you, big brother. Xu Guanjie also sighed and said, "The only one in Hong Kong who is willing to give so many dividends to employees is our Xu family." I don't understand, what else is there to be sorry for him? β
"Where you're sorry for him, it's that you didn't give away the whole company." Xu Guanying sneered and said, "I finally understand Shao Tycoon's thoughts now, why has he been pressing the artist's company not rising." The reason is that if you go up by 1,000 yuan, he wants 10,000 yuan; If you go up 10,000 yuan, he will think about 100,000 yuan; working hours, and want to ask for overtime pay; Gave money, and said that you restricted freedom......"
"Alright, alright, it's happened, let's stop talking like that." Xu Guanwu heard that the third Xu Guanying was full of resentment, as if he wanted to reduce the expenses of his employees, and he would not pull out a dime like Sir Shao. He quickly waved his hand to interrupt him.
Employee pay raises. Participate in dividends. This policy was set by Xu Guanwu and he did not intend to revise it. Like Sir Shao's practice of using artists as a money-making tool, it is outdated and absolutely inadequate.
Not to mention anything else, just say that after the expiration of the Shaw Brothers employee contract, few people are willing to renew the contract, and most of them want to go out for a walk. Go to other companies and check it out. This also made Shaw Brothers begin to face talent problems, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many talents accumulated before, I am afraid that I would have been unable to persevere.
"Things shouldn't have happened and they have happened. So whether it's self-blame or hindsight, it's useless. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and continued, "At the moment, we should downplay the impact of this incident, don't let other employees be under pressure, and don't let the outside world see jokes anymore; In addition, check and fill in the gaps to see whose contract should have been signed and has not yet been signed. Whose contract is about to expire, and the arranger is responsible for handling it; Moreover, Zeng Zhiwei still knows how many secrets of Lu Dao Company. If there is any plan to shoot a movie that he has participated in, he must stop it first, and change the script when it is time to change it. lest you have twins with Golden Harvest, and then it will be troublesome again. β
"We are already dealing with these things, and it is not difficult to check and fill in the gaps, the key is that Zeng Zhiwei is involved in the several dramas we are filming now. He has already reviewed the script, and if we want to stop work and change the script now, we will lose a lot. Xu Guanwen said with a frown.
"A loss is a loss, and the loss of money is a small matter, but it is a big deal to break our Xu's golden signboard." Xu Guanwu nodded.
"Humph! This bastard, who walked away on his own, caused us all to stop working, damn it. Xu Guanjie couldn't help but scold.
"Do you see if we have any hope of completing it as soon as possible and releasing it before the completion of Golden Harvest's film, so that we can avoid losses." Xu Guanying suddenly proposed, "You must know that we have invested millions of Hong Kong dollars in these films, and if we all tear them down and start over, we will lose a lot." β
"It's too late, their films don't pay attention to the plot, performance, or scenes, if they shoot quickly, they can be completed in two or three days." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Our movies are all meticulously crafted, and a fight scene takes several days to shoot, so naturally it is not as fast as them." β
"In my opinion, Golden Harvest won't be so insidious, poke out the film we are making now in advance?!" Xu Guanjie hesitated and said, "In that case, it will definitely hurt people." β
Golden Harvest can indeed make a bad movie in two or three days, but this kind of film basically has no box office. If they invest tens of thousands of dollars to make some bad movies just to disgust Xu's, then they are too small-bellied.
"No one can say anything about this matter, maybe Golden Harvest will do it? Anyway, it's just a bad movie, and the investment is not much. As long as the male and female protagonists have the same name, the same movie name, and almost the same story, he will release it in advance, and our movie will not have to be released again. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "We can't afford to take this risk, so just in case, let's tear it all down and start over." In addition, Zeng Zhiwei has also flipped through which scripts, and now he has to find out. Lest the new film on our side be filmed, and Jiahe will immediately copy a version. β
"I'll send someone to follow up on this." Xu Guanjie nodded.
"Okay, actually, don't take this matter too seriously." Xu Guanwu saw that the brothers were frowning, and hurriedly smiled and persuaded him, "We haven't been working with Zeng Zhiwei for a day or two, and we all know that he follows Hong Jingbao in everything." Now that even Hong Jingbao no longer supports him, Zeng Zhiwei has no big tree to enjoy the shade, and he may not be able to do anything big in the future. β
"What the second brother said is the same, Zeng Zhiwei has filmed in the past two years, and there are few very popular films." Xu Guanying nodded and said, "Speaking of which, it is not as great as the contribution of Mai Jia, Zhang Jian and others, and he may not be able to do anything when he goes to Jiahe." β
"In the end, it's a guest and host, I didn't expect it to be like this." Xu Guanwen sighed and said.
"By the way, second brother, after Zeng Zhiwei left, the seven-person team is now missing one person, I don't know who you plan to find to replace you." Xu Guanjie suddenly asked again.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he has been worrying about this candidate recently. Because the seven-person group meeting is very important, it is already the highest level of the Hui Group. Because he is in charge of all the company's personnel, films, investments, etc., many people are looking at this position with their eyes open.
For example, Cheng Long, who is now a film and television star, is also a director, screenwriter, producer, etc.; For example, Zhang Jian, who is now hot in the director team; For example, Chen Muhua, the manager of the production department......
However, Xu Guanwu has other deeper plans, he plans to incorporate Xu's Film Company into his Xu's Group.
Nowadays, although Xu's Film Company cooperates very closely with Xu Guanwu's superstar manager company, "Daily Daily", Yisheng Records, TVB, Xinghui Art School, etc., it is not a company after all, so there are some small problems.
And Xu Guanwu wants to integrate Xu's Film Company into the Xu's Group under his name, and truly become one, and then complement each other's resources and advantages, and become the most complete media industry chain. (To be continued......)
