"Uncle Lou, if he wants to make a color movie, let him do it! The worst thing is to spend more money, which we don't lack.
What's more, this should be our country's first color film, which can be used to make our film company famous.
However, the technology of color films is not very mature yet. If you want to shoot, you need to pay more attention to the technological development of color films and introduce more equipment from abroad."
In Lin Mo's memory, China's first color film should have only appeared in the late 1940s.
Moreover, at this time, most of the foreign films were in black and white. If a color film were made at this time, it would definitely make the Lin Film Company an instant hit.
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded and asked again: "Master, this filming is not a problem. What we are worried about is the screening problem.
After all, we don’t know the difference between black-and-white and color movie projectors, and domestic movie theaters basically only show black-and-white movies. If they are different, our shooting will be in vain."
This question immediately stopped Lin Mo, because Lin Mo really didn't know whether black and white and color projectors were compatible.
However, Lin Mo didn't think for long before he replied: "Uncle Lou, I can't give you an accurate answer to this question.
From a principle point of view, the projector shines light on the film and then projects it onto the screen. From this point of view, black and white and color projections should be similar.
But, I don’t know much about the specific implementation. I don’t know if there is any difference between black and white and color projectors. I suggest you ask the person you are looking for.
Of course, if it cannot be screened, it will not affect our ability to shoot color films, because color films can be transcribed into black and white. In the worst case, we will release the black and white version.
However, our own cinema must have the ability to project color movies. If the projector is not universal, then buy it quickly.
After all, what we need is a sensational effect. If there is no way for people to see the color film, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced."
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Master, you are going to go to the Military Intelligence Office. This will cause too much stir. Will it be detrimental to you?"
Lin Mo listened and said with a smile: "Uncle Lou, you don't have to worry too much about this, just keep it confidential.
Only a few people knew that I was going to the Military Intelligence Office, basically my family and the Military Intelligence Office. I didn't even disclose it to other classmates.
What's more, the sensation caused by this incident is just that the film company is not the Lin family, and the Japanese don't pay too much attention to these things.
However, it is true that we cannot be unprepared. The Lin family cannot openly show off their activities, especially the Lin family's signature, which cannot be used casually.
Didn’t I propose before that the film company should not be called the Lin family? Now I would like to mention it again, that is, all the new industries of the Lin family in the future should no longer be called the Lin family.
Our Lin family wanted to take advantage of the import business being taken away. Outsiders felt that the Lin family was beginning to decline. From then on, we retreated behind the scenes and no longer carried out public activities.
The new industries added by the Lin family in the future will all have unrelated names, and management personnel will be found from outside. The Lin family can control and supervise them, which can be understood as white gloves for officials.
As for the Lin family's former managers at Lin's Trading House, some stayed behind and continued to run Lin's Trading House.
Some of them shrank back to the Lin family and were responsible for supervising the companies controlled by the Lin family, as well as managing the Lin family's investment business and other miscellaneous businesses.
Others are assigned to our holding company and let them take charge of key departments inside, such as finance.
In this way, what will be shown to outsiders is a downtrodden and declining Lin family. If the Lin family moves to Chongqing in the future, people will gradually forget the existence of the Lin family."
After listening to this, Uncle Lou finally understood how Lin Mo planned to arrange the Lin family. He had thought that Lin Mo had not thought of this before, but he did not expect that Lin Mo had already made a plan.
Thinking of this, Uncle Lou smiled and said: "Master, I didn't expect you had a plan in advance. I thought you didn't think of this!
But Master, there are a lot of people in the Lin family, and there are a large number of people from Lin's Trading House. In the future, when the Lin family retreats, a large number of people will follow, can we make arrangements like this?"
Lin Mo heard this and said with a smile: "Uncle Lou, don't worry! Just the matter in Shanghai has increased the Lin family's wealth by a lot. Just managing this wealth and investing in the company can make the business bank's wealth bigger."
Most of the middle and high-level managers are arranged to join.
In addition to these, the Lin family also needs someone to help me and my classmates manage the money, which also requires a group of managers.
Moreover, the Lin family definitely does not hold any industrial industries. The ones I just mentioned are only for those industries that are more likely to attract attention or that Japanese spies may pay attention to.
Such innocuous light industrial factories as garments and zippers must be in the hands of the Lin family.
Not only can it arrange the work of ordinary employees of the firm, but it can also give outsiders the feeling that the Lin family is dying.
Uncle Lou, speaking of ready-made clothes, you can find someone to learn from Herbert about his craftsmanship. On the one hand, he will be leaving soon, and I need someone to make some things.
On the other hand, Herbert's visit will bring a lot of cheap furs. We just have a fur processing factory, and we should be able to arrange a large number of people there.
Of course, we cannot be limited to fur processing factories. We can measure the sizes of so many employees of the Lin family and come up with a clothing code suitable for us Chinese.
In this way, the Lin family can directly build a garment factory to produce finished clothes, which will not only accommodate a large number of employees, but also allow the sale of ready-made clothes to become the company's main product."
After listening to Lin Mo's explanation, Uncle Lou nodded and said with a smile: "These are not problems, I will tell the master and we will make arrangements.
As for learning from Herbert, that’s not a problem. A few days ago, he found a group of people from our clothing store to be apprentices.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly understood and immediately understood what happened to the school's batch of protective equipment.
However, this also eliminated Lin Mo's plan to attack Herbert. After all, although the protective equipment was a little rough, it did not affect its use very much.
Seeing that Lin Mo was silent for a while, Uncle Lou asked: "Master, do you have any other arrangements? If not, I will tell you the next thing the master asked me to ask."
Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head. In Lin Mo's opinion, this arrangement for the Lin family was enough. He could completely make the Lin family invisible and not attract too much attention.
Seeing this, Uncle Lou continued: "Master, the second thing I asked you is that he plans to open a motorcycle factory and raise the prices of rubber and oil."
When Uncle Lou said this, his tone was a little helpless. Lin Mo must know what was going on. It was obvious that Father Lin was in the mood and was ready to fight with the Japanese.
Lin Mo was not prepared to object to this, so he said: "Uncle Lou, if my father wants to do it, let him do it!
But as I said before, we have to put aside the relationship between the company and Lin Mo, including the rubber products factory. I didn't think carefully before.
As for relieving the pressure on my second and third uncles, let's take a break for now. At the worst, the Lin family can pay some money to help the second and third uncles move around."
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded, and then asked helplessly: "Master, I asked me to ask you how to run a motorcycle factory, but he doesn't understand."
Hearing this, Lin Mo also felt a little headache. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "I don't know much about this. It's quite troublesome not to have a motorcycle factory.
The technical difficulty here is not small. We can only build an assembly plant for engines and parts. We can look for relevant factories in Shanghai to see if they can provide them.
Moreover, the price of this motorcycle is not very cheap, the sales volume is not large, and it has little effect on raising prices.
If you really want to do it, you can redesign it like a bicycle, or directly produce a three-wheeled motorcycle so that it can carry cargo, which will have a certain effect.
And after production, you have to think about where to sell it. After all, motorcycles still have certain requirements for roads, so it is best to sell them to North and Northwest China.
Those places are large plains, and you can drive in those places even if there are no roads. There should be some markets, but they are not big. After all, the price is where the price is."
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded and said, "I will explain this clearly to the master and see if I can persuade him."
Lin Mo listened, nodded, and continued: "Well... it's best if you can persuade him to stop, if you can't persuade him, then let him go!
But if you really want to do it, then invest some money in Shanghai's engine yard and factories that produce parts, and try to produce everything domestically.
Otherwise, we will have to purchase parts from Seven Star Company, which will be another troublesome matter."
Next, Lin Mo discussed the details with Uncle Lou before settling. After all, this was his father's business, and he had to try his best to solve it even if he didn't like it.
After saying this, Lin Mo spoke to Uncle Lou again: "Uncle Lou, I also have something I want you to handle.
That is, I am planning to set up a lens company to produce optical lenses, ordinary lenses and sunglass lenses.
I need your help to make arrangements and ask Scott to help purchase a batch of equipment, technology and authorization."
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded and said, "Master, don't worry! I'll contact you when I get down."
Seeing this, Lin Mo continued: "Uncle Lou, the Lin family and our classmates each contribute half of the money, and each side holds half of the shares.
But this matter is not urgent, just get the sunglass lens production equipment and technology first, let him catch up with the movie, and promote it, I can use this.
As for ordinary lenses and optical lenses, this can be done slowly, and the technology of optical lenses is relatively difficult and difficult to buy. Let’s first find out if there is anyone in China who is researching this, and then we can cooperate with them.”
After hearing this, Uncle Lou nodded and didn't ask more about what Lin Mo wanted to do. Now he felt that Lin Mo was mature enough and didn't want to ask questions about everything.
