Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Xu Damao said to He Yuzhu with a bitter face: "Brother Zhu, you are a hands-off manager and don't know the ins and outs of this.

Although the film and television industry is booming and film and television companies seem to be making a lot of money, in reality, the salaries of those stars are rising like a rocket! "

Before He Yuzhu opened his mouth to respond, Chen Xueru at the side couldn't wait to ask: "Da Mao, tell me in detail what happened."

Xu Damao sighed helplessly and continued to complain: "Sister-in-law, nowadays the box office of any movie can be as low as a few million, or as high as tens of millions. But do you know that those so-called 'actors' have to take away millions of dollars just for the film pay!"

Chen Xueru's eyes widened when she heard this, and she shouted indignantly: "This is too much! In this way, after deducting various costs, the money we can earn from the local box office will be very little!"

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's right, so now we basically have to rely on foreign markets to make money."

Chen Xueru put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "We can't keep going like this! An actor can easily make millions in just one month of filming a movie. We must think of a way to severely suppress the pay of these people!"

Xu Damao nodded thoughtfully, agreeing: "Well, if we really want to do this, we have to carry out a large-scale rectification."

Seeing this, Chen Xueru quickly asked: "Then in your opinion, what should we do to achieve results?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and answered confidently, "First of all, we must firmly control the cinema chain.

After all, if you have the cinema resources, you have the initiative. And our company is one of the best in the industry, so we have the ability to train and support new talents.

As long as we are willing to work hard and make those old-timers realize that if they don't lower their pay, they will lose their jobs in the future, then they will naturally bow their heads and come to us to beg for a meal!"

Chen Xueru nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "Okay, then let's do as you say." She looked at the other party firmly, and then added, "We will all fully support you."

Hearing this, Xu Damao felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "With your words, I feel as if I had taken a reassurance pill. I feel much more at ease!"

Chen Xueru patted Xu Damao's shoulder encouragingly and said with great pride, "What are you afraid of? Just let go and do it boldly!"

After a pause, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, does the TV station need to be rectified as well?"

Xu Damao frowned, shook his head with difficulty and replied: "The situation at the TV station is a bit complicated.

We have already transferred the management rights, so it may not be easy to intervene now."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh and continued, "The TV station's ratings are terrible now, they have already fallen to the bottom! If it weren't for the actors invited from the mainland to support it, I'm afraid it would have been sold long ago."

Mu Chunhua, who had been listening quietly beside him, couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and interrupted worriedly, "Don't we still hold some shares of the TV station?"

Chen Xueru also echoed, "Yes, it will definitely not work if the current situation continues."

After thinking for a while, she suggested, "We can either sell our shares in the TV station and stop worrying about these things all the time; or we need to find a way to reorganize the TV station and launch some programs that are popular with the public and can attract the audience's attention."

At this time, He Yuzhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly questioned, "Sell? Who would be willing to take it over?"

He curled his lips and continued with a look of disbelief, "Who would dare to take on such a hot potato? Only if our family doesn't mind getting into trouble would we consider taking it over.

In my opinion, it is more reliable to take the path of rectification.

Why not raise this matter with the relevant personnel in the organization? If they do not agree to make changes, then we can just sell the TV station shares to them."

He Yuzhu stared at Xu Damao calmly and said slowly: "If you agree to this rectification plan, then after it is completed, you will go to the TV station to take charge.

As for our film and television company, we can let our children take over and manage it, but you have to help by steering and overseeing it.

Also, your kid getting married is a big happy event, so as an elder, I can’t be stingy! I plan to give him 5% of the shares of the film and television company as a gift.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao quickly waved his hand and declined, "Oh my, that's impossible! This gift is too expensive!"

However, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said decisively: "It's settled! Since he already calls me uncle, I can't let this title go in vain, right? But don't worry, I only give him shares in the film and television company, not the cinema chain."

You know, even 5% of the shares of this film and television company is a considerable amount of money for Xu Damao. After all, the total shares of the film and television company that He Yuzhu gave him was only 20%.

At this time, He Yuzhu seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, where are you going to set up the banquet?"

Xu Damao answered without hesitation: "Just set it up at home. Now that you are back to help with the arrangements, I can now have the confidence to invite those celebrities to attend the wedding!"

He Yuzhu frowned slightly and advised: "It's better to keep a low profile. If it becomes a big deal and everyone knows about it, it may not be good for the children.

The world is not peaceful nowadays, there are many vicious people, what if you are targeted by a bad guy or even kidnapped? "

Xu Damao couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this, and asked in a panic, "It shouldn't be like this, right?"

He Yuzhu said with emotion: "If this person is really crazy because of poverty, he can do anything!"

Xu Damao nodded and responded, "Why don't we just not have those reporters come to interview us and just invite everyone to our house for a lively gathering."

So, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous meal together at Xu's house. After the meal, He Yuzhu stood up to say goodbye to the host, and then slowly left Xu's house.

When he returned home, Chen Xueru had already picked up the phone and contacted the organization. She said softly into the microphone: "Hello, leader, I am Chen Xueru."

A friendly voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, it's Xiao Chen, how have you been recently? Is everything going well?" Chen Xueru quickly replied:

Thank you for your concern, I am doing fine here. "

Then, she paused for a moment and got to the point, "Leader, I called you today mainly to consult you about the rectification of the TV station."

When the other party heard this topic, his tone became slightly serious: "Oh? The TV station wants to make changes? What exactly is going on?"

Chen Xueru took a deep breath and methodically explained to the other party in detail the problems currently faced by the TV station as well as some of her own views and suggestions.

After she finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the leader said, "Xiao Chen, since you have already thought of a solution to the problem, why not share your ideas with me?"

After receiving encouragement, Chen Xueru continued with increased confidence: "Leader, after careful consideration, I now have two more feasible plans.

The first option is to sell all the shares we hold in the TV station; the second option is to work hard to improve the profitability of the TV station itself. If there is not enough profit support, the daily expenses of so many people are not a small amount, and we can't keep losing money all the time."

After listening to Chen Xueru's statement, the leader nodded with satisfaction and expressed his agreement: "Well, the two points you said make sense. I fully support your work, so you can carry it out boldly. I will greet the comrades below and ask them to actively cooperate with your actions."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru and asked impatiently, "How is it, did they agree?"

Chen Xueru nodded gently and replied, "Yes."

She frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "The TV station is an important propaganda mouthpiece. It's a pity to give it up so easily."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's true. So how are you going to deal with this matter next?"

Chen Xueru said with a firm look, "Those who are incompetent and unable to do the job must step down and let others do the work! This is the principle of doing business, the capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. Only in this way can we ensure the normal operation and development of the TV station."

He Yuzhu laughed out loud after hearing this: "Haha, you're probably going to offend a lot of people if you do this."

However, Chen Xueru responded nonchalantly: "Am I afraid of offending people? Humph, as long as it is beneficial to the career, I will do whatever I have to do."

At this time, Mu Chunhua on the side interrupted and said, "Xue Ru, although this is true, you can still take some relatively gentle measures. After all, we will meet each other every day, so even if we don't look at the monk's face, we should look at the Buddha's face."

Chen Xueru nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Chunhua. I will try my best to reason with them first. But..."

At this point, she paused, a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she continued: "As for whether it makes sense, that is not my concern.

Anyway, the final decision is in my hands, and I have the final say. Even if they disagree, it is not up to them, because I have the imperial sword in my hand. "

Mu Chunhua asked worriedly, "Then can Xu Damao go to the TV station?"

Chen Xueru spread her hands helplessly and replied: "At the moment, there is no other more suitable candidate, so we can only try him first.

I hope he won't do anything weird again." After saying that, the three of them fell into a brief silence, each thinking about the possible subsequent situations and countermeasures.

"Let's talk about it later. Anyway, this entertainment business is just a small thing for us."

He Yuzhu said casually. He knew that his company was involved in many industries, and entertainment was not really its core business.

Then, He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully: "If you want to say, Xu Damao is definitely the right guy! He is a natural born businessman and has a very flexible mind."

As night fell, the whole city was shrouded in darkness. But Chen Xueru was still sitting at her desk, working late into the night, carefully writing a plan to improve the TV station. She sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes wrote furiously, and was completely immersed in her work.

Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, it was already midnight. He Yuzhu got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, and when he saw that the light was still on in the study, he tiptoed over. He saw Chen Xueru was busy and absorbed in her work, and she didn't even notice that her clothes had slipped off.

He Yuzhu picked up a coat distressedly, walked gently behind Chen Xueru, and carefully put it on her: "It's so late, go to bed quickly, your health is important."

Chen Xueru didn't even turn her head and continued what she was doing. She said, "I'm almost done. There's still some finishing work to do."

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly: "Is there something that must be done today? Can't we do it tomorrow?" However, Chen Xueru shook her head firmly, indicating that it must be completed.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew his wife's stubborn temper very well and knew that it would be useless to say more, so he had to turn around and leave the room silently without disturbing her anymore.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the window. He Yuzhu woke up, stretched his body, walked out of the bedroom and into the living room. Only then did he realize that Chen Xueru, who had been busy until late last night, was still energetic and full of spirit, as if she was not tired at all.

After breakfast, Chen Xueru simply packed her things and prepared to go to the TV station. Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly asked, "How about I go with you? I can take care of you."

Chen Xueru smiled and waved her hand: "No need, I can handle this little thing myself." Mu Chunhua, who was standing by, heard this and hurried over: "Then let me go with you, two people are always better than one."

Chen Xueru readily agreed: "It would be great if you could accompany me." In this way, the two women walked together, and the driver drove them to the TV station. The house suddenly became empty, leaving He Yuzhu alone, bored and feeling emotional: Once this woman focuses on her career, she is really vigorous and resolute!
But he didn't want to stay at home alone. It would be a waste of such a nice day to stay at home.
