"Let's do this, first establish a Zhang Zhonghua Foundation with the assets in Chou Country, and donate half of the profits from the assets to the foundation."
Of course, you still have to pay taxes after donating, but I don’t want to be robbed by IRS agents one day while I’m eating hot pot and singing, and the special code will be embarrassing.”
Zhang Zhonghua said to Xin Xiaoling with a smile.
"No problem, I will set up a foundation as soon as possible, but what kind of charity is this foundation mainly engaged in?"
Xin Xiaoling asked.
"Well... let's engage in educational charity, mainly to assist those outstanding Yanxia students studying abroad, mainly targeting students of Yanxia origin from Southeast Asia who go to Europe and the United States to study. At the same time, we can provide appropriate assistance to local ethnic groups in various countries and spend money in exchange for
reputation."
After Xin Xiaoling left, Zhang Zhonghua began to look at the tax rates of various countries around the world. Chou Country was really a big pit. Fortunately, the Jade Emperor Group did not vigorously enter Chou Country. The core of the industry was still in Southeast Asia and Europe. Otherwise, it would not have been given away for free every year.
Give ugly country a lot of money?
The United States has been continuously raising taxes because of the Annan War. Due to World War II, Japan and West Germany are trying to promote the development and mergers and reorganizations of their own companies in order to promote post-war reconstruction and economic revitalization. They also have different corporate income tax rates.
is constantly being lowered.
Nowadays, except for the United Kingdom, most countries in Europe do not have very high tax rates. After World War II, they all vigorously developed their economies.
Of course, this is only now. A few decades later, tax rates in Europe will be extremely high, with general tax rates between 45% and 60%. In a sense, they will rob the rich and give to the poor.
Zhang Zhonghua thought that the Zhang Zhonghua Foundation he established was not bad. It would be much easier for the foundation to invest in U.S. medical companies. He could also learn from the Rockefeller Foundation established by Rockefeller to assist some hospitals around the world and conduct medical research at the same time.
Zhang Zhonghua finished handling the matters at hand and came to the Jade Emperor Architectural Office downstairs. The thing he is most concerned about now is the design progress of Ocean Park, so during this time, whenever he has nothing to do, he will go back to the architectural office to check on the design progress.
.
At this time, the docks and roads in Nanlang Mountain have been constructed long ago. Ocean Park will be able to start construction and leveling the ground in September, and then construction can begin after the design drawings are released.
The new Ocean Park plan has caused quite a stir in Hong Kong Island, especially the fact that it was designed by the world-renowned architect Master Pei Luming.
But can the Hong Kong government still not understand?
Now Master Pei Luming has been in Hong Kong Island for more than a month. Zhang Zhonghua is very satisfied with the overall design sketch. The water park, large amusement facilities, zoo, castle complex itself and finally a large number of small amusement facilities and World Dad
It is a plaza with local food, and the five areas basically cover the amusement park.
"Zhang Sheng, you are here. The amusement park is expected to complete the architectural design in more than two months. The water park and zoo have been modeled, so the large amusement facilities and castle complex are slightly more complicated."
Pei Luming smiled and said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Master Bei, you have worked hard, and so have everyone. This water park and underwater world are really beautiful."
Zhang Zhonghua carefully looked at the Ocean Park mold placed on the table. He couldn't help but be amazed. Master Pei Luming combined many of Zhang Zhonghua's suggestions in the design style. Generally speaking, it is very modern, avant-garde, bold and even...
With a bit of futuristic style, this ocean park will definitely beat Disneyland if it is built.
Pei Luming and his team members were very satisfied when they heard Zhang Zhonghua's praise. This design was also designed based on the terrain and Zhang Zhonghua's future knowledge. After it is completed, it will undoubtedly be the best in the world.
"By the way, Master Bei, how much stone and soil can be excavated from the Nanlang Mountains? If we use these stones and soil for reclamation, how much land can be reclaimed in Tseung Kwan O?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"The designed area of this marine playground is about 2,000 acres. According to my inspection, it is estimated that the soil can be used to reclaim about 400 acres of land in Tseung Kwan O. Tseung Kwan O is quite shallow. Although it is not as good as Victoria Harbor, there is still no port to build.
questionable."
400 acres of land?
Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he heard this figure. The future land on Hong Kong Island is very valuable, and most of the land is reclaimed from the sea. In the future, reclamation will continue in Tseung Kwan O.
"Also, the sketch of the castle you drew is good. It is somewhat similar to the Disney Castle in Ugly Country."
Pei Luming praised.
"I also modified this based on the Disney Castle."
Zhang Zhonghua said awkwardly that he did not modify it in conjunction with the Disney Castle. He just moved the future Disney Castle here.
Of course, it is similar to Disney, but there are no Disney cartoons yet, so Zhang Zhonghua will not be troubled by infringement issues.
Of course, although the castle combines several amusement parks such as Happy Valley, Disney, Universal, and Fonte, there are still many original elements in it.
Zhang Zhonghua chatted with Master Pei Luming for more than ten minutes and then left. It was better not to disturb Pei Luming's design team during working hours, so as to have less influence and less bad things.
Zhang Zhonghua then came to the Jade Emperor Construction employees. Thinking about the current work of these people, Zhang Zhonghua was a little dumbfounded. These construction experts were helping to design toys.
Zhang Zhonghua hired some painters to draw the impressions of popular comics in the future, and then made toys.
For example, a big IP like Transformers can make a few movies at random, with a box office of tens of dollars. There are also many toys, comics, animations, movies, etc., and related peripherals.
Barbie’s commercial value is even stronger, with sales of $22 billion in toys alone;
Not to mention Disney, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Disney Bears, etc. are also incomparable;
Lego blocks,Hello
Kitty, etc., are far superior to Transformers.
In the field of toys, Transformers may not even be ranked in the top five. Most of them have a history of forty or fifty years. Transformers is also a super popular toy that Zhang Zhonghua can think of that has not been released.
The Transformers movie series is also quite strong, with the total box office revenue of the five movies reaching 4.8 billion US dollars. However, it will be after the turn of the millennium, and it seems that it can be left to the grandson to film.
"Boss, four or five models of the Transformers Autobot series have been developed. Among them, the Optimus Prime and Bumblebee you mentioned are still being improved."
Zhang Zhonghua was quite satisfied after hearing the introduction. He picked up a small toy and started playing with it. Although the transformation was not smooth, he was able to switch back and forth between the robot and the car.
It may seem funny to ask architectural experts to study toys, but this kind of toy is really invented by architects. Not only Transformers, but also the Rubik's Cube, a popular educational toy around the world, was also invented by architects.
"Not bad. How is the research on the Decepticon series going now?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"The large-scale truck Transformers are still quite troublesome at the moment, and it is expected that it will take two or three months to achieve some results."
It is indeed quite troublesome to make Transformers with the current technical level. Each Transformer probably requires a lot of parts, and there is no way to slow down the research.
The most important thing is that there is no relevant pipeline. After the design is completed, you still need to build the pipeline from scratch.
For now, let's start by studying Transformers with relatively simple structures such as cars and trucks. As for Transformers with more complex structures such as airplanes, excavators, and tanks, we can only study them slowly later.
As long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later you can complete the entire Transformers series of toys and make money from children all over the world.
Sure enough, women and children’s money is best earned, wait, women’s money?
Luxury goods, cosmetics, etc. seem to be good choices as well, but it is more difficult to re-establish a brand.
However, Zhang Zhonghua has money and can acquire shares in some European luxury brands. Anyway, these brands will make our money in the future. Instead of all of it being earned by foreigners, why not earn some of it himself.
Of course, it is more difficult to cultivate high-end brands, but mid-range brands can indeed be vigorously developed. Although the profit of each high-end luxury product is very high, mid-range brands are the main force in consumption.
Zhang Zhonghua silently made a mental note to develop mid-range clothing, cosmetics, jewelry and bags, and prepared to look for opportunities to establish related companies.
Of course, Zhang Zhonghua is studying Transformers and wants to sell toys on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to add a few big guys to the amusement park, which will attract more tourists, and at the same time, he can also sell toys in the amusement park.
If you want to make money selling toys, you have to wait a few more years.
"Would it be difficult for an Autobot like this to build one that is 3 meters high?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"Boss, it's not very difficult. The power device is relatively easy. After designing the program, it is relatively simple for Transformers to walk and transform. However, the power can only be powered by batteries, which need to be replaced frequently."
Zhang Zhonghua has no more demands, and the current technology cannot fulfill more demands.
As long as the created Transformers can move, it will be beyond Zhang Zhonghua's expectations if they can still walk now.
The most important thing is that today's batteries are not that developed, and the internal power is mainly mechanical. It is necessary to prepare some batteries for timely replacement.
As for why it is not driven by fuel? Just kidding, it would be a joke if the Transformers relied on gasoline. If they smoke while walking, that would be funny.
"Okay, let's continue researching, it's not in a hurry."
Zhang Zhonghua then came to Tadao Ando's design office, and Tadao Ando is now designing a commercial complex.
If Zhang Zhonghua or Pei Luming are not satisfied with the results, they will continue to revise them. There are no drafts provided by Zhang Zhonghua or Pei Luming. For those who are familiar with this name, the main thing at present is to train him.
"Ahua, do you want to go see a movie together tomorrow? "Way of the Dragon" has also been released on Hong Kong Island. I haven't seen a movie in a long time."
Lou Xiao'e said.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhonghua's mouth twitched. He had watched it more than once in Chou Country, but he still said: "Okay, then I will arrange for someone to book the venue, and everyone can watch it if they have nothing to do."
"The facilities at Shaw Brothers and Dianmao are also a bit behind. How about going to the Imperial Capital?"
Lou Xiao'e said.
The early film crews on Hong Kong Island were also film practitioners who came to Hong Kong Island from the north, and a large part of them were actors, directors and entrepreneurs from Shanghai, thus driving the development of Mandarin films.
A large number of people came to Hong Kong Island, which also caused the population to expand rapidly. The population of Hong Kong Island surged from 600,000 in 1945 to 1.86 million in 1949. By 1952, the population of Hong Kong Island had reached 2.18 million. Now in 1970
The population of Hong Kong Island is as high as more than 4 million.
Film is an important part of Hong Kong Island culture and an important way to spread culture.
At the same time, the country's Hollywood-style big studio system has quietly emerged, influencing the world through cultural export, exacerbating the chaos in the Hong Kong film market.
In the 1950s, companies such as Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian were successively established on Hong Kong Island. Great Wall was the main force in the creation of social realistic Mandarin films, Phoenix was the main force in the creation of comedy Mandarin films, and Xinlian was the backbone of family ethics Cantonese films.
Some films, mainly based on Shaw Brothers and D&M, introduce modern Western film trends, westernize their thinking, and examine new social strata with an open attitude.
Now, the overlord of the film industry in Southeast Asia is Hong Kong Island Shaw Brothers. Not only does Shaw Brothers own the largest film company and cinema chain in Southeast Asia, the most important thing is that Mr. Shao Liu is also a shareholder of Hong Kong Island TVB.
In the early 1950s, Shaw Brothers had already established a huge entertainment empire, covering nightclubs, theme parks, movie studios, and a super cinema chain with more than 130 theaters across Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.
In 1956, Shaw Brothers Company officially started to build Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon. Construction of the cinema began in 1958. After years of continuous expansion, it finally covered an area of 80,000 square meters.
The cinema contains multiple recording studios, two permanent open-air street sets, an advanced color film development device, and a variety of world-class film equipment imported from Europe and the United States.
Today, Shaw Brothers Studios has become the largest and most cutting-edge Hollywood-style studio-style production organization in Asia, dominating the Southeast Asian film market.
Zhang Zhonghua also came to his senses after being reminded by the two women. Only then did he realize that he had been distracted again just thinking about the film market in Southeast Asia.
"Ahua, do you think you have a chance to enter the mainland film market by writing Dragon Crossing the River?"
Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.
"There is not much opportunity now, but there should be opportunities in the future. In the 1980s, they will probably be the first batch of films to enter."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Why?"
Lou Xiao'e said.
"At the end of last year, more than 1 million people across the country participated in demonstrations against the Annan war. The country has repeatedly negotiated peace with Annan to no avail. It will definitely change its strategy."
