Country E's big move can be regarded as a conclusion to this year. No one expected that there would be so many major events this year.
Of course, these are all major events on the surface, and there are many major events that have not been reported.
In the United States, the first experimental interstellar battleship has been completed and quietly flew away from the earth to conduct various tests. No one else noticed this.
The Xingling Group satellite that has been staring at the United States discovered this.
The relevant departments of the Chinese Space Alliance no longer have two interstellar spacecraft, but a full four interstellar spacecraft, and the construction speed of the Mars base has begun to accelerate at a high speed!
Currently, more than 300 people are working at the Alliance Mars base led by China, and various scientific research plans are proceeding step by step.
The European Space Agency's second interstellar spacecraft has also been completed. Compared with the first one, it has been greatly improved in many aspects.
The EU's Mars base construction speed has also begun to accelerate.
In Naples, Italy, the second interstellar spacecraft manufacturing factory invested by the European Union has also started construction, and the star spacecraft factory in Hamburg has also begun to expand.
The situation in the United States is even more terrifying. Two NSAA starships, three Starships from SpaceX, and Starbus Group’s self-built starship are officially put into use.
Among them, SpaceX has the fastest construction speed of its Mars base. Currently, more than 200 people are working on the Mars base!
It can be said that this year, major companies around the world have accelerated the construction of Mars and increased investment in space.
There was a sense of urgency!
Gao Jin canceled this year's annual meeting. There was no need to hold it. The progress of each subsidiary of Xingling Group made Gao Jin very satisfied. He only held a video conference and then arranged the work to be completed.
Jane and Sonia don't go home for Christmas anymore. After confirming their relationship with Gao Jin, they spend the holidays with Gao Jin and just go home and visit every summer when they are on vacation.
Once you get home, you have to spend money to subsidize this and which subsidy, which makes many relatives not working and relying on the subsidy given by the two of them back home to survive. This time, my daughter completely stopped subsidy to her family.
No matter how much you love me, I have given enough, so I don’t care. These were Sonia’s exact words.
The same is true for Jane. The two of them have calculated their accounts privately and found that the subsidies they have given to their respective families over the years have exceeded 4 million euros.
But the family's financial situation remains the same and has not changed at all.
I don’t know where the money was spent.
When asked urgently, he said that he would be compensated if his business failed.
Continuing to provide subsidies in this situation will only make them lazier. Simply cut off the subsidies and let them stand on their own feet. They can already afford their families.
At the beginning, Gao Jin tried to convince them that four million was not too much, so he would give them a little more this year. He would pay one million euros per family at his own expense, as a way of thanking them for sending Jane and Sonia to him.
As a result, Jane and Sonia firmly opposed it, and Gao Jin could only give up his thoughts.
A special plane was dispatched to pick up Joanna, and then the family met in the Imperial Capital and returned to Xiangjiang City early.
Gao Jin's meaning was very simple. He usually didn't have time to spend time with his family. This year, he went home early to spend more time with his family. Unfortunately, on the fourth day after Gao Jin arrived in Xiangjiang, he was called out by Xiao Yunxian.
In a very quiet place by the sea, there was a table, a barbecue grill, and two portable refrigerators. Xiao Yunxian and Gao Jin were drinking, eating and chatting.
"Brother Xiao, just tell me what you want me to support. I won't refuse if I can help." Gao Jin put down the beer bottle and looked at Xiao Yun before saying this.
It's been a year, and Xiao Yunxian's job in Xiangjiang City has not improved much. Young people all want to make quick money, work easily, and yearn to make a fortune overnight.
Two projects were implemented and both ended in failure.
"Your entertainment industry in Xiangjiang should also recruit some people to expand. The number of employees now is much less than four years ago." Xiao Yun first looked at Gao Jin and said this.
Gao Jin was stunned after hearing this, no way, has ATV reduced its staff?
Gao Jin glanced at Xiao Yunxian with a suspicious look on his face. Xiao Yunxian nodded seriously, and Gao Jin felt strange.
The scope of my secret layoffs a few years ago did not include Xiangjiang. Could it be that it was also implemented here? I must ask later.
Gao Jin said with a wry smile on his face, "I'll ask Tian Ronghua tomorrow. You know, I don't ask about these things at all."
Xiao Yun nodded first, and when he was about to speak, Gao Jin also spoke, "Brother Xiao, if you really want to change, the first step is to lower the cost of living in Xiangjiang City."
"Yesterday I heard from the housekeeper that the cost of living this year has increased a lot compared to last year."
"The reason why young people want to make quick money is because the cost of living is too high. If you don't make quick money, you can't support yourself. If you don't make quick money, you can't afford to rent a house."
"When you change your cruel ways, you must not be soft-hearted!"
After listening to Gao Jin's words, Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He wanted to be cruel, but the resistance was not ordinary, but very big.
Everyone at the top and bottom is determined to maintain the current situation and not want to make changes.
Another one is that I am just a consultant, and it is not me who really makes the decision. I have said everything I need to say, and there is nothing the other party can do if they don’t act on my behalf.
"It's difficult, things are much more difficult than you think." Xiao Yunxian said this with a bitter expression on his face. After hearing this, Gao Jin smiled and said nothing.
These things are not things that you can interfere with. If you interfere, you will cross the line and cause a bigger disturbance.
Gao Jin and Xiao Yun drank beer and talked about things first, mainly to listen to Xiao Yun vent his words. Xiangjiang City and the Mainland were completely different environments, and it would be impossible to use the Mainland's approach here.
More than an hour later, Gao Jin helped Xiao Yun get into the car and leave, and he also took the car back home.
While eating, Gao Jin told Sonia, "Ask Tian Ronghua from ATV to meet me at home at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Sonia nodded and continued eating. No one else paid attention to this matter, except Gao Yuande who gave Gao Jin a meaningful look and also remained silent.
In the evening, Gao Jin started to check the work of ATV in the study room. After reading it, he understood what was going on. From Tian Ronghua's perspective, Tian Ronghua's approach was correct.
In recent years, ATV has maintained relatively high profits. Although it continues to shoot movies and TV series, it has been much reduced compared to a few years ago.
The purpose of Xiao Yun's first mention of this matter to himself was very simple, to let ATV increase its investment in increasing its star-making capabilities. In the past few years, Xiangjiang City has not had a single star that can produce stars.
Neither men nor women.
Entertainment in Xiangjiang has also begun to be dominated by Japanese, Korean, Yue, Thai, etc. This is something no one expected.
The Eastern Hollywood that suppressed the entire entertainment industry in Southeast Asia back then could actually decline to such an extent.
There are many reasons for this situation. Xiao Yunxian also has this task when he comes here this time, to restart the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and avoid the invasion of foreign entertainment industry.
Sing and dance without losing a single hair.
Everything is just to get a green card from the United States. As for the impact it will have on the country, they are simply not considered by these young men.
It is not too late for the relevant departments to realize this problem, but they are too soft-handed. The punishment for these people is equivalent to zero, and these young men do not take it to heart at all.
Thinking of this, Gao Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Such important matters were not his own consideration.
One night passed, and at ten o'clock in the morning the next day, ATV general manager Tian Ronghua arrived at Gao Jin's place. To be honest, Tian Ronghua was very nervous at the moment.
He didn't know why Gao Jin suddenly called him over. Could it be that he had done something wrong and he was just thinking wildly.
Seeing Gao Jin, Tian Ronghua immediately respectfully called "Chairman".
Gao Jin nodded and said, "Lao Tian, let's go outside to chat and bask in the sun."
"yes!"
Tian Ronghua said something and followed Gao Jin out of the villa, feeling a little calmer. Judging from the chairman's attitude, it didn't look like he wanted to clean up himself.
After coming to the garden and sitting down, Gao Jin began to speak, "You have done a good job leading ATV in the past few years, but there are some things that make me wonder why the star-making ability has dropped so much now."
After listening to Gao Jin's words, Tian Ronghua more or less understood what Gao Jin wanted. He thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"Chairman, our ATV has indeed reduced the production of movies and TV series in recent years. This is caused by many reasons."
"The most important thing is the pressure. Several giants called me to ask me to cooperate. I am also very helpless."
Tian Ronghua reported everything to Gao Jin in detail. The number of entertainment companies in Xiangjiang City has not decreased much. However, these entertainment companies no longer focus on cultivating stars themselves, but have begun to focus on introducing stars.
This can reduce a lot of costs and increase profits a lot. Therefore, the Japanese flow, the Korean flow, the Yue flow, the Thai flow, etc. have the upper hand in Xiangjiang City.
It is inseparable from the resources provided by these entertainment companies. On the other hand, there are some people in important positions pushing this matter behind the scenes. When a phone call was made to Tian Ronghua, Tian Ronghua had to give face to cooperate.
It would be easy to deal with this alone, but the more important reason is the talent generation. There is a serious lack of talent in all aspects, a very, very, very lack!
Cinematography, music, scripts, directors, actors, special effects, etc., all aspects of talent are lacking.
If you want to change this situation, you must vigorously introduce talents from the outside. If you fail to do this, change will be impossible.
Listening to Tian Ronghua's report, Gao Jin fell into deep thought. Sure enough, this matter was not that simple. Xiao Yunxian really gave himself a problem!
