Chapter 13 Pull the Fourth Brother into the Water
,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Second brother, I'm not building a film company to make some films for people to see. These days, the benefits of filming are not very good. My so-called film companies control Shanghai theaters so that they can be used for us and operate completely commercially. The theaters make more money than producers and distributors. You should know more about these fourth brothers in Shanghai than me, right?"
Of course, Gu Zhuxuan had a good understanding of this aspect, and then drank with Long Chongjiu for a drink, and said, "Fengqin, there are so many film production companies in Shanghai that are currently too numerous to count, but there are still several companies that truly master first-class theaters, Zhang Shichuan's Central Film Company, seven theaters under its leadership, Lugen's joint film company, six theaters under its leadership, Hesbe's Hekong Company has four theaters, and He Tingran's Yiyi Company has two theaters under its leadership, these are the mainstream theaters for filming."
Long Chongjiu was a little confused when he heard that he had a lot of things. If he had spread this pile, he wouldn't be able to survive. Since Gu Zhuxuan was proficient in the arts, it would be better for him to do this. At this point, he said, "Fourth brother, I am really not in the industry for the entertainment industry. Is this good? You can settle this matter? As long as you are a company that masters the theater chain, we can just buy theaters from the film company. The ultimate goal is to control mainstream theater chains. On the one hand, for our commercial promotion, it is not enough to rely on advertising films. For example, now it is hanging in the neon light box at the entrance of the theater. We can transform it into an advertising light box to hang it with conspicuous locations on the storefronts of major shopping malls, and then set up new billboards at major entrances, and then publish exquisite color printing publications, ordinary posters full-page and semi-page popular publicity."
This time it was Gu Zhuxuan's turn. Mrs. Gu and Xiao Liuxian were confused. Why did it take such a lot of effort to advertise an advertisement?
"Fengqin, don't you all mention investing or acquiring? How much does it cost to publishing houses, bookstores, newspapers?"
Long Chongjiu smiled and said, "No, the reason why the theaters acquire is because it has commercial value. As for those publishing houses who have been poor for many years, we can only use bidding methods. Cash and spot, it is difficult to make money and spend many years. Releasing sensitive topics will stimulate the authorities to seal them. We will not be profitable in our operation, but it will make the smell of a lot of trouble. Why bother?"
The Gu couple then breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Zhuxuan said again: "Tendering methods? Fourth brother doesn't understand very well. Fengqin, tell me."
"Oh, that's right. There are many publishing houses and printing factories in Shanghai. The number of publications we publish is very large, and the family will definitely not be busy. I plan to start this series seven days before the new underwear. Then, let them enter the market simultaneously with the advertising films, which will have a huge impact. Large publishing houses have branches in many cities in China. It is very powerful if they are released simultaneously, especially foreign distribution companies. Some have branches in several countries. We can just ask them to serve us at a premium price. Our group will organize a powerful photography team as soon as possible, and let them take pictures of various patterns that need to be printed first. Fourth brother, the more you talk about this, you should do the big things first. I'll find someone to solve the problem."
"I'm really confused. Brother, let's do this. Mainstream theaters, printing factories, publishing houses, and advertising facilities such as neon light boxes and cards. I can find someone to do it. Those photography, bidding plans, and even advertising content are not something I can do, and I can't do it without any cleverness. I can't do these things. I write and draw, and I feel a headache when I think about it."
"I am the same as you, Fourth Brother, we can't be poaching people. The newspaper's chief editor, editor, and artist are mostly hired at high salaries. You can't even poach and hire people? I'll pay for the money, you can find it, that's it. Come on, Fourth Brother, have a drink."
Good guy, it all came to Gu Zhuxuan's head. This tycoon Gu had a bitter smile, and finally had to raise his glass to drink.
In fact, Long Chongjiu is also a little sensible about these commercial operations. He is a loss from the 21st century. He has never eaten pork and has not seen the pig leave? At least he knows where to start. As for the detailed operation, he is also an outsider.
...
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I finally finished visiting four casinos with Gu Zhuxuan. These four casinos have a certain scale and integrate entertainment and leisure. The two of them made a preliminary calculation and each casino would have at least fifty to sixty waiters, which just reduced the burden on the new dance hall.
After sending Gu Zhuxuan back, Long Chongjiujue still had some time to let the convoy go straight to the Bund underwear factory to check it out.
At present, the production and production of underwear factories are in high commercial secrets, so Long Chongjiu asked Chen Jingwu to take good care of all the employees on the production line. Fortunately, these people eat and live in the factory, including technicians, all settle down here, especially those foreign employees, who must prevent them from selling business opportunities secretly. In addition, the production line performs its own duties, and a person must not truly master all the processes from material processing to production and molding, which greatly reduces the risk of new underwear being leaked before it is launched.
Technical Director Helsind should be the only one who has fully mastered all the processes of the new product, but his He Hu is also a super-level one. Chen Jingwu's four extraordinary bodyguards protect his life safety, the reason is that Shanghai is in chaos, so it is best to be careful.
Luo Bingzhang is one of the shareholders of the underwear factory. His main responsibilities are to supervise workers, supervise workers' work, and solve some miscellaneous tasks.
Manager Xie Hongzhuang not only supervised Luo Bingzhang, but was afraid that the thief would be lazy, but also took care of financial expenses and other matters of underwear factory.
Until now, the underwear factory funds have only flowed out and there has not been any recycling benefits, which has made Luo Bingzhang very depressed.
When five small cars drove into the underwear factory covering an area of more than 40 acres, many workers who were moving goods in the yard were stunned.
The underwear factory is really busy today. There are a pile of beautiful girls from the past who used to be happy. They were sent by Ma Derong in the afternoon.
Luo Bingzhang and Xie Hongzhuang were in front of the earthen building and directing staff to register the new workers.
After getting off the car, Long Chongjiu and Xiao Liuxian were slightly surprised by the vitality and busy scenes of the underwear factory, and were full of prosperity.
Luo Bingzhang hurriedly came over and complained first: "Fengqin, we have such a big investment, and I don't know if it's OK."
Xie Hongzhuang also arrived behind him. Since the last Xinghualou incident, she gradually changed her views on Long Chongjiu.
"Why can't it work? Brother, I have some confidence in me. If I do it with such a big fanfare, I have to pay a lot of compensation. I'm here to check out the production line today. How about it? Is it regular these two days? How many daily production capacity can reach?" Long Chongjiu asked with a smile.
"The output is really not high now, only more than 200 pieces a day. I think these men are clumsy and let them carry it. It is really difficult for them to sit there to do fine work such as silk cotton division. However, this group of female workers should be able to greatly increase the daily output after joining."
"Still, there is still half a month left before the end of the month. There are at least 10,000 items available before the new press conference."
Xie Hongzhuang said at this time: "It's hard, Brother Fengqin, if you want to achieve your goal, it will be ten times more than now, is it possible?"
Long Chongjiu glanced at the female workers over there, and his confidence increased greatly, saying, "I think it should be fine if you do ideological work for them and work more overtime. Brother, the output must be increased. In two days, a batch of machines will be introduced to vigorously develop."
"Fengqin, I mean to see the effect after the new press conference first. I'm afraid that if I'm so stupid.
Long Chongjiu Chao Xie Hongzhuang smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. In fact, our main customers of the new products are not in China. It is quite good to have a large share here. The Chinese people have an old concept and cannot withstand the impact of this new trend of underwear. This will greatly affect our agility. Opening up European, North America, and Southeast Asian markets is already in a hurry. As for the domestic market, just use newspapers, posters, and advertising films to slowly wash it off. This round of offensive will last for at least a month in China."
Xie Hongzhuang frowned and said, "Fengqin, this kind of underwear is indeed very creative, but you are right. The Chinese people's concepts are outdated. Once they appear, they will definitely cause strong responses. They may be criticized by public opinion and newspapers, and even be considered low-level vulgar."
Luo Bingzhang also said: "If that is the case, we will become rats crossing the street and our personality will drop to freezing point. Fengqin, think about it."
Long Chongjiu didn't consider this issue. At this time, when Xie Luo and the other two mentioned it, combined with the feudal thoughts of the Chinese people, the possibility of high incidence rate was high, and the light of inspiration flashed, and he thought about it, "Our reputation is bad enough, we can't be scolded anymore. I think so, it's better to claim to be a foreign enterprise. Let Sanger be the major shareholder of the underwear factory as the British identity. Anyway, in the British concession, we have to scold them and scold the British, ha..., we can just collect the money, there is really no other way."
When he said this, Xie Hongzhuang, Luo Bingzhang, and the little Liuxian beside him couldn't help but smile, and at the same time he thought that this person was so bad.
"A good idea is also very beneficial for us to open up foreign markets. It is really hard to sell our Chinese things at a high price these days."
"Brother, they will give us a different view. Just supervise the worker and focus on production. I will arrange other things. Don't show off the landlord's face. You must keep a full meal a day, make a work schedule for taking turns to rest, do your best, and pay on time every month. Although the female workers owe me medical expenses, that's just an excuse for me to threaten them. They can save them from going back to sell meat. They are all poor people. They can't let them work in vain. They pay them in the form of bonuses every month. On the one hand, they encourage everyone's enthusiasm, and on the other hand, they can also take some living money to take care of themselves or their families."
What this said is really full of humanity. When Xiao Liuxian listened, she unconsciously wrapped her arm around Brother Jiu's arm.
This made Luo Bingzhang's eyes almost pop out, and he sighed in secret that he was so blessed. His grandmother's, can he even make the beauty moved?
Xie Hongzhuang also felt the same way, and her eyes showed a true appreciation for Long Chongjiu. Is he bad on the surface, and his heart is still hot.
"Fengqin, there is no need to withdraw money from the underwear factory for the time being. There is still more than 200,000 yuan in the account, which is enough to resist for a while."
"Well, second sister-in-law, just keep the financial power, but don't deduct my brother harshly. I'll let him take a guest or something to help him get a business relationship. Ha, money is a small problem, we don't have big money, we can still get 200,000 or 800,000 yuan, whether it's a loss or a profit, don't let this group of jobs suffer in vain. We must pay on time every month, never default, and give them financial security."
"Hey, who is so lucky to have a boss like you? Well, Fengqin, we all remember, what else do we have to give?"
"There is nothing else, and the safety issues here are no problem. In two days, I will arrange a group of patrol officers in the arresting room to inspect the periphery. Anyone who dares to make trouble will ask my second brother to kill me, and I will bear all the consequences."
At this time, Xie Hongzhuang was almost tied with Xiao Liuxian. He heard that he enlarged his teeth with a domineering spirit, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Fairy sister, this hooliganism is coming up again. The last time I killed someone in Xinghualou, my sister was so scared that she was stinging her calves. She was such a bad person."
"Second sister-in-law, this man is not bad, but women don't love him. My second brother is actually much worse than me, and he is even more top-notch in terms of skills."
"Go to yours, your second brother is not bad enough for you. By the way, where did you get him? I won't tell me what I admire."
"Look, my second brother said, do I dare to turn his tongue behind my back? I won't do anything to kill my brother, hey."
Xie Hongzhuang knew that she couldn't find a result, so she ignored him. Luo Bingzhang winked at Long Chongjiu and said deliberately: "Fengqin, do you want me to accompany you into the workshop to make a move? This is the first time you have come here, and you should also look at our production line."
"Of course, let's go." Long Chongjiu understood it, and asked Xiao Liuxian to wait outside to chat with Xie Hongzhuang, and then entered the workshop.
After a general look, he chatted with the foreign technical director Helsind, and the two of them arrived at the door of the workshop to stand.
"I said Fengqin, brother, I'm going to let you tie it to death now. My second sister-in-law is almost my mother. Oh, I really can't stand it, I'm so strict."
"Brother, it doesn't matter how strict it is. After the New Year, I'm going to send you abroad. Here you have to have a whole set of technologies with Helsind. Foreign branches must be established. We use the underwear factory as the base and will launch a large-scale business plan next. So you have to master strong technology. Underwear factories must stand firm. The yellow-haired ghosts have a very clever skill in stealing skills. We have to carry out cards to protect interests. In addition, we are constantly innovating and responding to the market quickly. You have a heavy burden. If you want to play more and more beautiful foreign women, you have to have a rich net worth. The country will be very chaotic in the future. In a few years, our focus will have to be moved out. In an environment of war, let alone seeking development, it is a dream to keep that industry."
"Yes, Fengqin, the domestic situation is turbulent, and I think there will be a war, but the international situation is not much better."
"Yes, it will definitely be a mess for a few years, but we will be better at implementing our hands and feet abroad, and we have no worries. We will do whatever we want."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll give you a good time. Heroes come from this troubled world. We can't be named on the battlefield. We have to make a name for ourselves in the mall, and we will not be in vain for a world of life. By the way, Fengqin, what did the second brother do? You won't tell me."
"Hey..., don't know how to worry less. Besides, your second sister-in-law, what if you give me a trick? In short, don't worry, big things can't happen. He is with me. This time, it's a special thing. Letting my second brother do nothing more than suppress him. He doesn't have many opportunities to get started."
"That's good, you, you can really mess it up. I'm just like this underwear factory and it's almost blown up. I can't even admire you."
"Stop complaining. Now, brothers, I offend many people. It can be said that the enemy is full of Shanghai. From the National Government to the gangsters, you have to be careful. Follow a few brothers in and out and take them all with you. If there is any situation, just release them upside down. If you have any leaks, the inspector general will support you. In the public concession, the Long must have the final say."
"It's okay in this regard. Your brother has been in Japan for more than half a year and has done murder. Although he is not very good at it, he can kill people with a gun in his hand. Ha... it's mainly because you are careful, after all, you are the biggest target of some people."
"I am impatient to come here. Brothers, I will go to the West to see the Buddha chant the scriptures. Now our power is not very strong. Once the commercial system is completed, it has a large scale. Look at how I am a big brother in Shanghai."
Luo Bingzhang smiled bitterly and said, "This brother is true. With your current identity and status, it would be great if you can work hard for ten years."
"Okay, brother, stop praising me. There are still many things to do. I have to leave quickly. If you have any problems here, just call us."
After leaving the underwear factory, the sky became darker, and Shanghai was shrouded in a thick cooker. The pollution during this period was quite severe.
Five small cars lined up to Nanjing, with the goal of the English Federation, and all private affairs were done this day.
As soon as he entered the meeting, Tao Xiu came up and whispered: "Brother Jiu, Gu Yushu is negotiating with the boss in the second floor living room."
Long Chongjiu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that it would be difficult to be good for his grudges with Gu Yushu, and this grudge must have been settled.
"Well, I understand. Is there any news in other aspects? Did Zhang Chong come to give the last news?"
"Zhang Chong hasn't given the last news yet. Hei Gou sent someone to stay near him. When there is news, he can send it back to us as soon as possible. In addition, there is news from Xingba. He has pulled all his people to the coastal area of Wusongkou and left a contact code."
"Very good, I'm relieved. Continue to follow up on the news from Zhang Chong. I'll go upstairs to see this Gu Daxiangtou."
