Chapter 1052: Unexpected Scene
Miaojin's vacation is not over yet, but as soon as Gao Xu returns, he plans to start working on the planned things.
His employees, Wang Cheng and Deng Jiamin, took the initiative to contact Gao Xu by email to report on their recent work. The two of them spend the most time summarizing the experiences in the previous animation and keeping their batteries up and learning.
Instead of receiving the email, Gao Xu thought that both of them were on paid leave. Obviously, the career pursuit of modern Ming people is more positive than Gao Xu's. On the contrary, after making money, he relaxed a little, and he really didn't care very much.
Picking up business again, Gao Xu felt a little confused for a while. He decided to go to the Wei family's film company first to see if the company that made movies could produce TV series. Gao Xu also called two employees.
first asked Xiao Deng to make an appointment with Wang Production, and the next day Gao Xu and the other four drove to the film company. They were very low-key and drove two cars, one was the low-end model of Gao Xu's luxury brand, and the other was Wang Cheng's family car.
The address of the Wei family's company is not in the central office area of Taicang City, but near the suburbs.
The environment here, of course, lacks the fast-paced scene of dense skyscrapers and groups of white-collar workers in the urban area. There are many old buildings around, most of which are no more than ten floors, but they have a little more intimate life.
The car drove in from the gate, Gao Xu turned his head and took a look, there were two signs hanging on it, one was Taicang Phantom Animation Factory, and the other was Taicang Shengying Film Factory. They are all properties of Weijia Holdings, and there are many office buildings with several floors in the yard, and only one building is relatively high.
These two companies were originally in a state of loss for a long time, but last year, Gao Xu gave the animation factory 100 million yuan in production costs, as well as the post-production party's share, obviously made their lives much better. The huge production costs were all taken by the Phantom Animation Factory, and there must be profit margins.
As soon as the car stopped, I saw Wang Chong and a large group of people coming. Gao Xu opened the car door and walked out, he was surprised, he didn't expect so many people today.
The crowd spontaneously burst into applause, the sound lasted for a long time, some people had smiles on their faces, some people had excited expressions, in short, it seemed that everyone's enthusiasm should be from the heart, which made Gao Xu a little moved.
Wang Siqi said loudly: "Welcome to Mr. Liu Gang, the producer and chief screenwriter of "Dreaming". ”
The crowd applauded again. Gao Xu said: "Wang Zhuang, the battle is a bit big, I just came to see it by the way, it doesn't have to be like this." ”
Wang Siqi said: "The news just came out this morning, no one organized it, everyone wants to meet Mr. Liu, I hope you can lead everyone to success again." ”
Gao Xu calmly looked around at the people around him, and when he saw a pair of eyes, he suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu. For a while, he seemed to have returned to the ancient battle array, and the soldiers also looked at him like this, looking forward to victory and meritorious service.
Miaojin was right before, many of the inner things of modern Ming people have not changed, and they still yearn for heroic, savior-like people. The collapse of imperial power at the beginning was probably not mainly due to the awakening of public consciousness, but the personal ability of Emperor Zhu was inferior from generation to generation, and in the end people chose rational checks and balances.
Gao Xu looked at everyone and nodded, and the people who didn't know each other gradually narrowed the distance a lot.
Wang Siqi said
"By the way, this is Wei Jixun, the vice president of our factory. ”
Miaojin called "big brother".
Uncle, Gao Xu had a word in his heart, but he and Miaojin were not officially married, so they couldn't be called that. The eldest brother has neat short hair, neat and energetic, dignified appearance, good temperament, and his age seems to be a little older than Gao Xu. This made Gao Xu breathe a sigh of relief, after all, according to the traditional relationship, Gao Xu should call him brother in the future.
"Brother Wei, this is the first time we have met. The last time I came to the door, I didn't see you? Gao Xu casually stretched out his hand.
Wei Jixun held his hand and said, "It's really unfortunate, I shouldn't have come back from Jingshi that time." Welcome Brother Liu to sit at home next time. ”
"It's coming." Gao Xu smiled.
Gao Xu then walked forward, saw the animation director Li Liang, and went up to shake hands with Li Liang. "Ahem" Li Liang coughed twice and held Gao Xu with both hands. Gao Xu said: "Didn't try e-cigarettes? ”
Li Liang shook hands with Gao Xu in the crowd, originally a little restrained, but then he immediately smiled: "Procrastination, I occasionally think about it in my heart, but I haven't mentioned it yet." ”
"The body is the biggest asset." Gao Xue said.
He continued to shake hands and listen to their introductions. Although he was completely unprepared today, Gao Xu's coping with it was quite natural.
Under the guidance of Wang Siqi, everyone entered the house one after another. Everyone followed Gao Xu, and Wang Siqi introduced various departments, which made Gao Xu feel as if he had come to guide for a while. But he really just wanted to understand part of the situation and didn't want to direct anything at all.
After a while, Gao Xu and the others came to an office hall with many computers, and he didn't know what it was for. But the employees all walked in, and there were people standing everywhere.
Wei Jixun said: "Brother Liu has greatly boosted our morale, and everyone also wants to make some achievements and develop." ”
"Understand, understand." Gao Xu nodded.
Wei Jixun said: "Brother Liu will say a few words to everyone? ”
Gao Xu waved his hand and said: "No need, the success of the upper animation was originally due to the good cooperation between each other." ”
Everyone applauded, and someone asked, "Is Mr. Liu willing to invest in the animation studio and cooperate with us for a long time?" ”
"Whether or not to invest in shares is not necessarily related to long-term cooperation." Gao Xu smiled.
At this time, a girl came up with a notebook and asked Gao Xu to sign it for her. Gao Xu was reluctant, but he thought that hard pen calligraphy was still different from brush writing, so he picked up the pen and signed. The girl held the notebook in her arms and looked happy.
Wei Jixun made a gesture of invitation and said, "Don't be too modest. ”
Miaojin also smiled and said, "Since you want to hear it, you can say a few words." ”
Gao Xu turned his head to look at her. At this point, he could only nod and say, "Okay then." ”
Of course, there was no prepared manuscript in advance, and Gao Xu didn't even know what topic to talk about. He doesn't work here himself, so he can't talk about specifics. Think about it and just say some boring nonsense?
Fortunately, Gao Xu understands that in fact, the human body
will add some aura, as long as the identity is reached, say something abstract, many people may feel that there is something mysterious. Just like when he was the emperor, everything he said was right.
Gao Xu thought for a moment, and casually said nonsense, "I think of the ancient salt industry, which was a huge industry. Actually, it's made of salt. ”
Everyone listened curiously, and the surroundings gradually became quieter.
Gao Xu thought and said: "From the basic process of salt mining, the handicraft industry of boiling or drying, to transportation, sales, and management, there are a large number of practitioners. Countless people are employed in the salt industry, and the remuneration they receive meets the needs of life, which drives the economy. Even the tax revenue after the state monopoly and the transportation of military rations to the border can be attached to the salt industry. But someone has to pay for all this in the end, and that is the people who consume salt.
Why would anyone pay? Because salt is a necessity and a pleasure to enhance the taste of food. Of course, in our opinion, this industry is very inefficient. It is because, from the perspective of modern people, everyone thinks that the output is of little significance, things are too simple, and the high price is mostly due to the failure of the imperial court. ”
He paused and continued, "Something else. Later, people discovered dental tablets, and while the official management did not keep up, an industry was formed for a while. Just like the salt industry, it has driven a large number of practitioners and formed an industrial chain. In the end, it is the consumer who pays, which is the most primitive pleasure consumption. But then everyone understood that this thing was extremely harmful to the body, and finally the legislation explicitly banned it. ”
Gao Xu paused for a moment, and then continued: "I think the end of a product is either the necessities for people to produce and survive, or the pleasure that everyone can enjoy. In times of peace, the efficient operation of the economy allows all people to obtain more adequate living materials and more pleasant living needs, including material and spiritual needs. In the period of war mobilization, in order to concentrate resources, the government did not need to use resources inefficiently at all, but directly requisitioned them. ”
He also said: "In the present era, the total agricultural and industrial economy of the Ming Kingdom is probably only 20% or 30% of the economy? A large number of economic activities are aimed at improving the quality of life and spiritual pleasure.
And we are in the entertainment, film and television industry, and the funds are operating efficiently and producing excellent products. Not only has a lot of jobs been created in the process, but the people who pay for the results have also been refreshed. So we're doing something very meaningful, and I'm very happy to be able to work with all of you. ”
Although Gao Xu was just talking nonsense temporarily, according to the thoughts of the practitioners present, everyone was obviously very useful, and cheers and applause rang out again.
Li Liang said: "Mr. Liu has detached himself from his personal pursuit and stood on a higher pattern, which opened our eyes. ”
The people around were a little awake and echoed the compliments.
Gao Xu had no choice but to say modestly: "Where and where, in today's Daming Kingdom, how many people are still worried about food and clothing?" I think everybody is the same, wanting to do something meaningful. ”
He coped for a while, and when he turned his head to look at Miaojin, he saw that she was smiling and observing him with interest. After knowing each other for so many years, she still seems to be in the process of understanding Gao Xu, people are really complicated things. However, only if Miaojin is so interested in him, will he have the desire to understand.
