Chapter 724 Energy Industry

promised to help Cheng Long and them write a few songs to sing, and after Xu Guanwu sent Hong Jingbao and the others out, he locked himself in the study and reminded the servants not to come and disturb him if they were fine.

The two inspirational songs "True Hero" and "Ambition in My Chest" have been written during the Tangshan earthquake charity performance that year, and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" have also been sung to Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanwu thought about it carefully, and estimated that only the songs "Drunken Fist", "Clear My Heart", "Every Day in My Life", and "Clear Conscience" were written.

Xu Guanwu remembered that it seemed that Cheng Long had released a lot of songs, some movie theme songs, some big man love songs, and some duets with other singers. Although the singing may not be very beautiful, but because of his fame, it seems that the sales are still very good.

Although Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao have not released albums, they have also held concerts in Japan. To be honest, with their super popularity in Japan at the time, just humming a couple of words on stage was enough to make the fans very happy, and they didn't care what they were singing.

Xu Guanwu quickly finished writing a few songs, and then put together a few songs he wrote before, which was exactly ten songs, enough to make an album. And among these songs, such as "True Hero", "Ambition in My Chest", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", etc., they have also sung it before, and it should be no difficulty to record.

After writing the song, Xu Guanwu faxed it to Yisheng Records, asking Zheng Donghan to arrange for them to record the album as soon as possible. Strive to record the album before the start of filming of "Fast Food Truck", and it depends on the timing of its release. After all, no matter how well the record sings, if the publicity can't keep up. Sales are also unattainable.

……

In addition to helping the three brothers write songs for Hong Jingbao. Xu Guanwu for the future development of the company. It also gave its own guidance, mainly in the blue-chip stock market.

His previous huge capital of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars has now increased to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars after continuous speculation and speculation. Such a huge flow of funds in the stock market can really be said to be calling for wind and rain, and the energy is amazing.

Xu Guanwu expects that the Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong may be formally held next year, when Hong Kong's stock market will plummet, and property prices will plummet, so he is not investing in real estate like other wealthy businessmen. It's still making waves in the stock market.

In addition, Xu Guanwu also allocated a sum of funds to acquire shares in oil, natural gas, copper mines, iron ore and other resource companies abroad. Because he knows that the development of the future society is inseparable from resources, human resources, land resources, mineral resources, forest resources, water resources and so on.

Among them, mineral resources are the only non-renewable energy sources. Prices are only likely to get higher in the future. Xu Guanwu remembers that when the mainland's state-owned assets were restructured, many private coal mine owners made a fortune from it. But there are many shady scenes in private coal mines. Xu Guanwu didn't want to get involved in such a dark business. It's oil and the like that's more to his taste.

Regarding Xu Guanwu's sudden investment in resources, Xu Guanwen and others expressed great puzzlement. While energy prices are rising, they are far smaller than real estate, not to mention the entertainment business that Hsu now runs. Moreover, energy investment is slow, costly, and risky, and it is really not an industry that Xu's should meddle in.

However, Xu Guanwu knew that Hong Kong films would collapse, because with the rise of the mainland, the expansion of the mainland market, and the development of mainland entertainment, Hong Kong's status will inevitably be replaced by the mainland. Even if it does not decline like in the previous life, the so-called sailing against the current will retreat if it does not advance, and when the mainland market rises rapidly, the slower-growing Hong Kong entertainment industry will inevitably be gradually abandoned by the mainland, which is the inevitable development of history.

And although American movies will continue to flourish, they are too far away for Xu. Hsu has always been a film and television company rooted in the Chinese-speaking world, and even if it acquires 20th Century Fox, it will not be able to completely transform into an American film company. Hong Kong and Hollywood are definitely two worlds, the human history is very different, and the company culture is fundamentally different. If we stick to Hong Kong, we will face the reality of the gradual decline of Hong Kong's economy and culture. If you want to enter the mainland, although it is also a road, it is not easy to go smoothly.

In Hong Kong, politics is politics, and entertainment is entertainment, and the two are very separate. Even though Sir Shaw was once awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England. But he remained far from politics. But in the mainland, politics and entertainment are often inseparable, and they are still very closely combined.

For example, if Hui wants to enter the mainland, he must first learn and change his culture, and the way of doing things that was common in Hong Kong before may not be suitable for coming to the mainland. Therefore, it is not a simple matter for the Hui family to successfully integrate into the mainland. Xu Guanwu thought that in the new century, his older generation would retire and be replaced by a junior general. It is unknown whether they will be able to inherit the contacts they have laid in the mainland, whether they can actively expand their contacts and open up the mainland market.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Hsu Group stands tall, it is absolutely necessary to invest in the energy industry now. In the next 100 years, oil, natural gas, ore and other resources will not be completely replaced, which makes their value will only continue to rise. There may be a landslide after climbing to a high level, but the price is certainly high compared to the current one.

And if it succeeds in becoming a tycoon in the energy industry, the Hui Group will truly have its own roots, and from then on it will be ranked No. 1 in the family. In the past, Xu's mainly grabbed human resources, relying on newspapers, magazines, TV stations, cinemas, etc. to attract a large number of people, although Xu's made a lot of money, but this foundation is not solid. Because popularity is actually fluid, it may be more popular and popular now, but in the next era, the wind direction may change.

In the 50s and 60s, the Shaw Brothers were also the sole leader, but in the 70s and 80s, didn't their popularity begin to decline sharply? Therefore, it is difficult to simply engage in the entertainment industry for a long time, even giants such as 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures are difficult to become popular, if Xu's is limited to the entertainment industry, Xu Guanwu can ensure the company's longevity in the next 30 years, but once he grows old. You can no longer point out the maze to juniors. I'm afraid that the Xu clan will be destroyed in less than ten years.

And if you enter the energy industry. With scarce resources such as oil, natural gas, and ores, the Xu family does not have to worry about decline. As long as human beings do not solve the problem of energy shortage for a day, Xu's will not be able to decline for a day. This is a path that Xu Guanwu paved for future generations, although few people can understand it now, but he still does it.

……

Just when Xu Guanwu arranged funds to acquire foreign oil and gas fields, ore companies, etc. Taiwan's Chen Qili called him and reported on the investigation of the Zhenhongkun case. Now it has been ascertained that Zhen Hongkun brought poison X into Japan by himself, and his poison X was actually brought over from Taiwan, and at the same time, the hair examination also found out that he has been smoking X for more than two years. And the person behind the scenes is likely to use poison X to control Zhen Hongkun.

As for Zhen Hongkun's death by injecting poison X, whether it was caused by his own overdose of X, or because he was injected with poison X, it has not yet been ascertained. It's just that there are no footprints or fingerprints of a second person in the room, and there are no traces of a fight.

At present, Chen Qili is tracking down the source of Zhenhongkun's poison X. Since he was brought to Japan in Taiwan, it means that someone in Taiwan supplies the toxic X molecules to him. And most likely, it has been supplied continuously for two years. In Hong Kong, all the people who are involved in drugs, the Bamboo Union Gang actually knows it in their hearts. Whether it is the demolition of the house above or the horse boy below, the Bamboo Union Gang can basically understand a thing or two, because they themselves are also poisonous. It's just that they won't sell the poison to the island of Taiwan, but through Taiwan as a transit station, and then sell it to South Korea, the United States, Canada and other places.

After listening to the report, although Xu Guanwu knew that he had not found out the person behind Zhen Hongkun's scenes, he should be able to quickly find out Zhen Hongkun's drug X supplier from Poison X, and thus find out where Zhen Hongkun's drug money came from. After all, it costs a lot to absorb X for two years, and it seems that it can't be supplied without hundreds of thousands or even millions.

"Keep tracking, we must find out." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Is there any difficulty in terms of funds, do you want me to provide you with a sum of money?" ”

"No, it's just a trivial matter, when you're done, you can just treat me to a meal." Chen Qili said with a smile, and then told Xu Guanwu that the Bamboo Union Real Estate Company invested by him had begun to enter Taipei, Kaohsiung, Keelung and other places, because the name of Bamboo Union is already a household name in Taiwan, and it can stink for 30 miles against the wind. Therefore, the new company did not dare to take the name related to Bamboo Union, and finally Zhang Anle proposed to name it Taoluo Real Estate Company.

Xu Guanwu didn't care much about his name, whether it was Tao Strategy or Zhulian, he didn't have any opinions. The most important thing is that the company can make the best money. Taiwan's economy has also been growing in the past two years, and it is estimated that the tide of real estate development is coming soon, when the housing prices in key cities such as Taipei, Kaohsiung and Keelung will soar rapidly. Xu Guanwu really wants to make a lot of money from this, and also let the Taiwan compatriots know that the mainland's money is not so easy to earn.

In the previous life, many Taiwan-funded enterprises entered the mainland to develop, and after making money, they returned to Taiwan to engage in Taiwan independence, which really sounded extremely exciting, and now Xu Guanwu wants to shear their wool in advance to see if they dare to be blind.

……

After chatting with Chen Qili, Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, looked at his watch, and arranged for the maid to prepare dinner. Because he was eating by himself, Xu Guanwu didn't ask for so much, just wanted to fill his stomach.

Sitting at the dining table alone, thinking that there was always someone to accompany him before, he couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart. Barely finished eating, Xu Guanwu sat back in front of the sofa and turned on the TV, really catching up with the broadcast of entertainment news.

One of them immediately attracted his attention, "The First Type of Danger" directed by Xu Ke, produced by Siyuan Film Company, and distributed by Golden Harvest Pictures, was banned by the Hong Kong government because the subject matter was too dark and caused great disgust in the society, and it was not allowed to be released in theaters in the future, nor was it allowed to be ripped into videos for sale.

Seeing this news, Xu Guanwu's first reaction was that Xu Ke was playing big again. Last time, "No Gate to Hell" attracted a lot of criticism because the theme was too dark, but I didn't expect that this time the filming of "The First Type of Danger" did not learn a lesson, and actually combined the bombing incident with juvenile crime, and the story was so bloody and violent, no wonder it would arouse the disgust of Hong Kong citizens.

But to be honest, "Danger of the First Type" is indeed a good movie, whether it is the performance of the actors, the layout of the story, or the rhythm of the movie, it is all first-class. It's just that the subject matter is too dark, it's like directly picking up the scars for people to see, and people will naturally be disgusted.

Regardless of whether society is really as dark and unforgiving as it is said in the movies, people will still choose to escape from reality rather than face it. Xu Ke only sees the dark side of society, but he can't see the dark side of people's hearts, no wonder the movies he made have not sold well.

In fact, his later "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Huang Feihong" and so on were all borrowed from the past to satirize the present, but because Xu Ke learned to use kung fu and beauties to package, he cut his ideas and mixed them into the movie, and sure enough, everyone accepted it.
