Chapter 36 Mentality
"Old Luo." Before Luo Weiming walked out of the office, Chen Chong called him, spread his hands, hooked his fingers, and said, "Give me your cigarette."
"What?" Luo Weiming was stunned, then smiled wickedly, and said, "Boss, don't pretend to be a man anymore? Last time I bet with Bai Sheng, saying that you must have been a smoker before, and he doesn't believe it."
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Chong smiled and cursed, saying, "Give it to me quickly."
Luo Weiming took out the cigarette box, shook it, and handed it to him, saying, "There are only three. If you really want to try it, I will give you a few boxes later? I don't have anything else, just this one. Before I came up today, I just opened one."
"I have it here." Jiang Zhiqiang also took out the cigarette box and said, "I just smoked two."
"No, three are enough, I'll give me the lighter, I'll let Xiaoyu give it to you later." Chen Chong took Luo Weiming's cigarette box and lighter, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, you guys go and do it first."
Luo Weiming and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other and walked out with a little puzzled expression.
After the two left, Chen Chong stood up, walked to the spotless floor-to-ceiling window, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but it was not lit for a long time. Instead, he looked at Victoria Harbor in the distance unconsciously and became stunned. After a while, he took the cigarette, sighed, and said to himself: "It's such a lonely life as snow..."
Yes, so lonely
His current state can be described in three idioms: wealth can rival a country, famous in nine provinces, and a word is full of money, reputation, and power. If you have the will and indulge in a little, women will also lack anything, but opponents - one opponent who can be truly a sword and a bayonet will become popular.
Although he was eager to challenge Hollywood's film hegemony in the future, the future was too ethereal and Hollywood was too far away, as if the clouds in the sky and the reflections of the seabed were visible and intangible. He punched him, and the images scattered, like a big dream...
In Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers is in decline, Jiahe is vulnerable, Taiwanese movies are sluggish, mainland movies are struggling, and looking around, there is no opponent. Instead, they are hungry and need Shen Chong to give birth to blood transfusions and support them.
It's really boring to have no opponents.
After playing with the exquisite silver-plated lighter for a while, Shen Chong gently pushed his little fingers, flipped the lighter in his palm, and pushed and wiped his thumb, "click", "click", and "click", after two light sounds, the lighter shone out a flame, and the whole movement was flowing, obviously I had practiced hard before.
He picked up the cigarette again, put it in the flame, ignited it, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and tilted his head to spray out smoke.
Although the posture is cool and literary, it seems that there is no pleasure...
He was thinking about whether to change his position and then another call rang.
"Mr. Chen, Manager Zhang Xiancheng of China Resources is on Line 1." Xiaoyu's voice came out and she said, "Refer to the tone, he seems to be very anxious."
Didn’t he take Taiwanese businessmen to Fujian?
Chen Chong pressed the cigarette butt on the glass, then walked over, picked up the microphone, and said, "Hello, Manager Zhang."
"Xiao Shen, Zhang Guangdou is hospitalized."
Chen Chong raised his brow and asked quickly: "When? Which hospital? What disease?"
"I just got the news, saying that the afternoon before yesterday, General Manager Zhang suddenly fell down during a meeting." Zhang Xiancheng paused for a moment and said, "Now he is living in Donghua Hospital. The preliminary diagnosis is cerebral arteriosclerosis and there are signs of stroke."
"I'll visit him later." Chen Chong pondered for a moment and asked, "Manager Zhang, are you still in Fujian?"
"Yes, according to the plan, I can only return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."
"Hong Kong's medical level is very high. I believe General Manager Zhang will be fine. Don't worry or hurry
Hang up the phone, Chen Chong touched his scalp, and this was a bit troublesome.
Chen Chong had only three impressions of China Resources in his previous life - Snow Beer, Vanke Real Estate and China Resources Vanguard Supermarket. How was China Resources restructured and how did it develop into a domestic super tycoon? After Zhang Guangdou, he knew nothing about who came to the stage to become the general manager.
Having a relationship with Zhang Xiancheng is also a pleasure. It is a casual move. If he can become the general manager, it is an unexpected surprise. If he fails to become the position, it doesn't matter. However, judging from the various signs later, Zhang Xiancheng is very sensible, knows how to cooperate, and is ambitious, and deserves a push.
However, among the three Chinese Resources Zhang, Zhang Guangdou has been the general manager for seven or eight years, and has gradually grown and grown China Resources with great prestige. He is the only one who said that Zhang Xiancheng has the least qualifications and is ranked after another deputy manager Zhang Zheng. Chen Chong originally planned to spend a few years to use trade with Taiwan as a breakthrough point to accumulate political and economic capital for him, and slowly cultivate the team, and slowly plan to do so, but the plan cannot compare with the change. Zhang Guangdou's condition is obviously unable to continue working, and the position of the general manager will soon be vacant.
China Resources is known as the "second foreign trade department", and Hong Kong is the most important external window for the mainland. The position of the general manager is a big piece of fat. The senior management will inevitably decide whether to airborne the newcomer or promote it from the inside after some game and consideration. In other words, Zhang Xiancheng will only have one or two months to operate at most.
If you are a newcomer, Shen Chong has no way to do it. If it is an internal promotion, the recommendation of the current general manager Zhang Guangdou will be very important.
However, seeing that Zhang Guangdou has been hospitalized for two days, Zhang Xiancheng received the news. Obviously, his control within China Resources is limited, so he can only turn to Shen Chong, an outsider.
"I just felt that life was lonely and boring, but now I feel that life is too complicated and entangled." Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said to himself: "The ups and downs are so exciting."
He knew nothing about China Resources in his previous life, which does not mean that he still knew nothing after traveling through time. He didn't know who the next general manager of China Resources was, but he knew that behind the scenes of China Resources, the famous economic expert and the top three leader.
If you intervene randomly, ruin things and annoy such a big shot, you will not worry about not having any enemies in the future, but about being too powerful...
Chen Chong sat in the office chair, thought for a while, then pressed the phone key and said, "Vivian, come here."
Gu Liwei came over quickly and asked, "Mr. Chen, what's the matter?"
"You..." Chen Chong was about to speak, but his thoughts changed and overturned the decision just now. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the half-shrunk cigarette box on his desk, kneaded it into a ball, threw it into the trash can, and said, "You go and make a smoking ban. All employees working in this building are banned."
"Ah?" Gu Liwei was stunned, then smiled with her lips and said, "Mr. Chen, please think twice. Almost all male employees of Oriental Charm are smokers. Once this regulation is made, it may be empty."
"Then leave two offices for smoking rooms on each floor, and the rest of the rooms are not allowed. If it really doesn't work, there is no smoking on the seventh floor." Chen Chong said angrily; "Anyway, don't see anyone smoking in front of me when you have a meeting in the future.
"OK."
After Gu Liwei left, Chen Chong paced around the office, restless and difficult to decide whether to interfere in China Resources' housework.
After a while, he slapped his forehead, sat back to his desk, took out a piece of white paper, and wrote a few lines on it
"Movies - Coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland (to be determined)."
"TV station-coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan (promising hope), mainland (no hope yet)
"Print media-coverage: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland (unstable)."
Many people think that a movie is very simple. They make a script, find a director, and after filming, they will be finished. Why is Chinese movies just not good? Why can’t they make good movies? Why can’t they sell them all over the world?
If movies are compared to operating systems, culture is kernel code, TV stations are desktop tools, paper media and other derivatives are application software, is it difficult to write an operating system? It is not difficult for a computer college student who studies hard and improves every day, and can write it out after graduation, but why are there only two or three operating systems in total, whether it is a computer or a mobile phone?
The key is that the construction of the software ecological environment is not a matter of one day or one night, nor is it a matter of one person or two. Microsoft has spent years of accumulation to achieve U's dominance. Google is a free hard worker, hooked up with hundreds of hardware manufacturers, attracted tens of thousands of software companies, and took five years to make Android popular.
As early as the beginning of his time travel, Chen Chong decided to build a complete Chinese film ecosystem with Hong Kong as the base, mainland culture and market as nutrients, TV stations as the skeleton, and paper media as the wings. In this plan, the mainland is the top priority. Without the mainland, everything is empty talk. The reason why he is undecided and irritable is because he is facing a strategic choice - whether to continue to maintain his current transcendent position or to deeply participate in mainland affairs.
If possible, Chen Chong certainly was unwilling to mix with various things in the mainland, but he had to participate because Hollywood had an advantage that he would never get-the United States had the First Amendment to the Constitution.
This amendment allows Hollywood to spit everywhere without any scruples, and these saliva can really hurt people, but China does not pay attention to this. China emphasizes thousands of words, which is not as good as bricks. To build a media group in China, you must have a strong backstage and a large amount of capital to scare people. Otherwise, if you spit, you will either be ignored or slapped to death by someone with a backhand.
Chen Chong has no government as a backstage and is naturally weak. Fortunately, he has a lot of capital, so if he wants to use the mainland as a backing and create a career, he must use the money to smash it and smash it into a steel bar.
In the past, he took the high-level route and went to Beijing to launch satellites. Although he gained a lot of political interests in a short period of time, those were castles in the air and were not down-to-earth. The leader could make him fall from the clouds with just one word. For example, his magazines could be sold in the mainland because of Liao Chengzhi's approval, and his movies could be released in the mainland because Deng Gong had watched them...
The oriental charm spans the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. It seems to be a scenery, but in fact it is just a castle on the beach, which can be pushed by a wave.
If the operation is done properly, you can deeply participate in the reform of China Resources, obtain a stable channel for transferring interests, and build an economic group, and in one sentence, it will be completely different. At that time, Shen Chong was not just an empty shell that could spit, but a giant who was as loud as a bell.
The key is, how can it be considered to be properly operated...
