Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 114 Investing in the Future
"Zhang Min." Gong Xing said.

"He was in the ATV training class before. I saw that he was from the same hometown and he looked good, so I brought him to Xinghai."

"She is happy to be a secretary for a few days and an actress when she has nothing to do. Maybe it's because it's not easy to get along in Hong Kong Island and she will be ostracized. Although many people moved from Shanghai, that was a long time ago."

"That's true." Huang Ze agreed deeply.

There will be exclusion to a greater or lesser extent.

They don't exclude me because my fame and money no longer allow them to look down on me.

But other people.

No matter where you are from, Shanghai may be less exclusive, but it is still indispensable.

Isn’t Li Zhi also a fellow villager? So when acting in a play, won’t he still be bullied by this person and that person?
Come to think of it, this one is even older than the previous one.

It’s just that the other party is unlikely to be a secretary because the company is too small, and she just won the Miss Asia title today, so she should still be very ambitious.

Huang Ze collected his thoughts and asked curiously.

"By the way, didn't I ask you to hire two secretaries? I already have one, but what about yours?"

"Zhang Min is my secretary!"

"Ah?" Huang Ze scratched his head, "What do you mean by that?"

"That's what I mean!" Gong Xing smiled, "The other secretary is yours. I asked her to go do something and she will be back soon."

After a while, Huang Ze's secretary came back.

A little dark, a little bit not so good.

Of course, I can’t say I’m ugly, just an average person.

After putting down the documents, he saw that Huang Ze and Gong Xing had something to say, so he tactfully walked out again.

"What do you mean by unfair?" As soon as the other party left, Huang Ze began to criticize the evil capitalist in front of him.

“This is the greatest injustice!”

"The same secretary, you are just a vice president, you deserve someone like that."

"I'm a big boss, huh? Right!"

“Isn’t this unfair?”

"You don't want her." Gong Yu looked into Huang Ze's eyes. "She is a graduate of Hong Kong Island University. If the salary was not high enough and she also likes the songs you listen to, I don't think I can recruit such a person."

"Is that so?" Huang Ze was speechless, "That's good."

Being capable is also good.

Anyway, it is impossible for me to eat grass in my own backyard, not to mention that she is my secretary. It doesn't matter whether she is good-looking or not, it's enough to just be acceptable.

Reassure the other person and you will have less trouble.

However, although he was relieved about this matter, when he thought about telling Gong Xue that he was getting married, Huang Ze's selfish nature took over and he still wanted to insure himself.

To avoid any trouble in the future that would affect the company.

There's nothing we can do. The most difficult thing to control in the world is people's hearts.

Huang Ze doesn't think that he is a favored child of heaven just because he traveled through time. Others should bow down to him and there will be no betrayal.

Others may betray their spouse, but it is different for couples. Once they separate, the company will experience major turmoil.

As for trust.

We trust each other now, but who knows whether we can trust each other in the future?
Microsoft's Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Amazon's Bezos, which one is not a great man? Didn't they all divorce their wives in the end?

It’s better not to test people’s hearts.

Being well prepared is better than anything else.

So, Huang Ze pretended to be hesitant and seemed to be unable to speak.

"What's wrong?" Gong Xing asked with some confusion.

"I, it's not that I don't trust you, I just want to ensure control of the company and lead it in the right direction."

"So let's get married. I need to sign a property agreement to ensure that this company always listens to me. You are not as good as me in judging the development of a company, but no one will think that they are wrong."

"Of course, I won't let you suffer any loss. I will transfer the villa we live in to you directly, and the company can also give you 5% of the shares. How about that?"

"That's all?" Gong Yu laughed and rolled his eyes at Huang Ze. "You think too much. It's like marrying you means we'll end up getting divorced. There's no need to say so much. Just give me a vice president's salary and some bonuses."

"Look, everyone has their own ideas!"

The other party's performance was not bad. Huang Ze felt relieved and generous. He spread his hands and said, "I have already told you how to deal with it. Why don't you listen to me?"

"Just do as I say."

"Five percent of the shares is not enough to pay your bonus?"

Huang Ze knew that these days, for someone who grew up in China, it was impossible for him to not feel uncomfortable when his marriage partner proposed this condition, so he naturally wanted to be generous to resolve this discomfort.

As for the shares, the company is not valuable now. When it becomes valuable, if the two are still together, the child will be in elementary school, and there will be no need to care about it.

"It's really not necessary."

"No, I have my own plan." Huang Ze moved a chair and sat next to Gong Xian. "First, divide it up. Then you will be a shareholder of the company and the person in charge."

"We have to discuss a business deal when we go back to get the marriage certificate. I have already talked to a distant relative in Shanghai a few days ago. We have a rough plan, but some things are difficult to handle with my identity. When the time comes, let's discuss it with your identity as a foreign businessman, so that the project can be implemented in a concrete way. It will be better on the surface."

Huang Ze was preparing for a rainy day. As the film and television company grew bigger, it was impossible not to have conflicts of interest with some of the local leaders of this association and that K who were entering the film and television industry in a big way.

At this time, you need a talisman.

Some people want to be safe by investing large amounts of money in US dollars and making some connections at the same time.

It is impossible for others to kill someone just because their fundamental interests are not affected at all. After all, Hong Kong Island will be returned to them in the end. They cannot be so ruthless. It is not like they are killing their parents, so they have to cut off their own retreat.

"What project?" Gong Xing asked with a serious face.

"Of course it's related to the film industry, the film and television city. I might use it in my next film. Others who want to make a movie can also use it."

"A film and television city?" Gong Xing asked curiously, "You want to build a film and television city just to make a movie? Isn't there a ready-made one here in Hong Kong Island?"

"Hey, you don't understand." Huang Ze waved his hands.

"My goal is to make Xinghai a large group. Can a large group use someone else's film and television city?"

"Pattern, there must be a pattern!"

"And I think our country's film and television industry will always develop in the future, so it won't be a loss if we build it."

"Okay, just do as I say. Let's talk to Shanghai first and get a piece of land. It doesn't matter if it's a little remote. Let's build Yangcheng Street first and build all the landmark buildings of Yangcheng in the 1960s and 1970s."

"That's a lot of money, right?"

"The land is not valuable, and it won't cost much to build it. After all, 20 million US dollars should be enough."

Money is still valuable now.

Now foreign investment is only a few billion US dollars a year, and 20 million US dollars invested by myself is not a small amount, at least accounting for 1% of the total investment. Is it enough to qualify for a talisman?
"It won't affect other projects, right?" Gong Xing asked.

"wait!"

Huang Ze calculated the amount of property he had in his hands.

Excluding the real estate, the two movies made about 10 million US dollars, which is in the company's account. The record revenue also reached 15 million US dollars. The new EP can also make some money, which can provide a continuous source of funds for the company in the future.

Moreover, with the hot sales of the new EP, he also won the Golden Lion Award. His fame is growing and he can take on a wave of endorsements, which means another sum of money.

In addition, investment in film and television cities can also be entered in batches.

It can be said that there is no financial pressure.

"That's enough!" Huang Ze nodded.

"Okay, if you think it's okay, I have no objection. Just show up when the time comes." Gong Xing did not object.

Huang Ze felt a little emotional after making this decision.

The real economy is so miserable. You work so hard but in the end you only earn a little hard earned money. Compared to the Internet, the money comes too slowly!

Unfortunately, it was still early in the Internet age.

By the way, did Microsoft go public?

Take a look when you have time, and buy at a certain point when it goes public. It doesn't need to be a lot, just a little bit will be eye-catching. Having 3 or 4 percent of the shares will be enough to guarantee your family wealth for several lifetimes.

Huang Ze did what he said and immediately asked someone to check it out.

Only then did I learn that it had been listed half a year ago, with a total of 21 million shares issued, at $ when it was listed, and its stock price is now around $.

That means a market value of 750 million.

Huang Ze was tempted, as this was a guarantee of great wealth in the future, so he took action immediately and used the 10 million US dollars in the company's account as advance funds for the film and television city, and kept nothing on it.

Then put all the $15 million in record revenue in an offshore company, invest in U.S. stocks, and then start investing in Microsoft.

Let the stockbroker be responsible for buying it all without causing huge stock fluctuations.

After finishing this task, Huang Ze began to carry out the previously planned tasks step by step.

Xinghai Company bought the adaptation rights of "Farewell My Concubine".

At the same time, we found a design company to expedite the preliminary planning of Yangcheng Street, although they were all simple buildings, with the tallest being no more than three stories high.

But you can’t just say “I, a foreign businessman, want to build a Yangcheng Street, and you grant me the land” and be done with it, right?

Having a blueprint is like drawing a pie in the sky, which makes people feel at ease.

On the other hand, while I was making the plan, it was time to take on an endorsement and make some money, so I called Susanna.

"Susanna, you can start accepting endorsements."

"I still say the same thing, no food, except for those two types of Coke."

"Other brands are high-end and ask me to attend some events no more than once a year. I have a lot of things to do and it's impossible for me to attend an event here and there for them."

I want to stand and make money!
"We contacted each other over the phone, and when we were almost done, we signed the contract in Hong Kong."

"Okay, I understand, boss. I will go to Hong Kong Island to report to you in the near future."

After Huang Ze hung up the phone, she immediately made calls one after another.

Huang Ze is a world-renowned singer and also a well-known director who has won the highest award at the film festival.

The combination of the two identities, plus the fact that he comes from the East, adds a sense of mystery to Huang Ze.

Therefore, Huang Ze is quite popular among brands. She has been contacted by brands for more than a year, but she has always acted according to Huang Ze's wishes and politely rejected them all.

Now, we can finally open for business.
