The door of the mansion opened, and four black SUVs drove into the courtyard.
The courtyard of the top-end mansion is huge. In addition to the garden fountain, it can park forty or fifty cars. It shows its extraordinary style on this precious land on the Peak of Victoria Peak.
There are eight Chevrolet 7.4-liter SUVs on standby here, as well as other luxury cars, sports cars, and grocery carts.
In China, Portland, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong all have the same configuration, specifically providing the chairman's car, so there is no need for a special air transport back and forth.
What's more, these bulletproof armored vehicles are too heavy to be carried by a Boeing 737, making it easier to cause an imbalance in the center of gravity during flight.

Wang Yaocheng got out of the car and said to Harrison, "Thank you! Man, everyone has worked hard tonight. Find a place to have a drink and let the kitchen make you some midnight snacks. I won't go out tonight."
"Bingo!" Harrison snapped his fingers happily and said to the knife; "You see, well, take out the $100 I won right away, and let me know in advance if you want to bet next time."
"The boss is here, wait a moment, you bastard." Xiao Dao looked a little shocked.
Wang Yaocheng smiled and shook his head, ignoring these trivial matters and walked towards the house.
In the living room of the main house
You can hear the joyful laughter coming from Chen Xiulian and Wang Guodong, "Haha, no way, no trick is so exaggerated. It really makes my stomach hurt from laughing."
Hearing the noise outside the house, secretary director Zhang Shuguang was the first to come out, followed by Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming, Chen Baixiang and other men and women.
"Boss, you are back!"
"Um!"
Wang Yaocheng took off his windbreaker, and Zhang Shuguang took it easily. He looked at Zeng Zhiwei and the others, and there were two ladies he didn't recognize. "These two ladies are a bit unfamiliar, I don't know..."
Huang Baiming took the initiative to introduce; "This is my wife, Ms. Qu Wenjuan, who is here as a guest at the invitation of the old woman. I take the liberty of disturbing you."
"Ah, you're very welcome. My mother doesn't have many friends in Hong Kong. You are welcome to visit me often." Wang Yaocheng shook hands with the other party warmly.
"The boss is Ms. Chen Baixiang's wife, Ms. Huang Xingxiu. The two of them have a very good relationship. Qiang Zai doesn't care if he is a big carrot outside. He just wants to come back and drink the delicious soup she cooks. He is such a blessing. Others are envious of him.
Not coming."
Zeng Zhiwei is a gold medal host, and no one else can speak louder than him. Chen Baixiang rolled his eyes and scolded this bad friend more than ten times in his heart.
"They all brought their wives, why are you alone? This is not your style."
"Hey, my wife is in Canada, and the other women the boss knows about can't help her."
Wang Yaocheng smiled and nodded at Zeng Zhiwei without saying anything else.
Huang Baiming was very sensitive to hear that Zeng Zhiwei was calling boss. I believe Wang Yaocheng was also sensitive enough to realize that he glanced at the happy little man with complicated eyes.
Damn it!
The whole body is filled with thoughts.
"Welcome, welcome. It's very cold outside the house. Please sit inside. I'll change my clothes and come down to accompany you."
Ms. Qu Wenjuan and Ms. Huang Xingxiu were greatly surprised when they met for the first time.
This tall God of Wealth King is young and good-looking. The most rare thing is that he is approachable and really makes people feel friendly.
Wang Yaocheng walked into the room and said hello to his parents, then went upstairs. There was no need to worry that the guests would leave first. Aren't they just waiting for him?
It is human nature for people to walk towards higher places.
Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming and Chen Baiqiang often visit the mansion on the top of the mountain. This is impossible without Wang Yaocheng's consent. On the one hand, my mother likes to chat with them and kill time.
On the other hand, Wang Yaocheng has his own layout plan.
Previously, we arranged for Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Baiming to learn editing, editing, broadcasting, and directing at the Hollywood DreamWorks, so that they could be exposed to standardized film and television processes. This was not a consideration.
more than a year
Several Hong Kong filmmakers study very seriously, and they really have a hard-working spirit.
From lighting to photography, and even the assistant director of the production crew, I rushed to do all the dirty work. I regarded myself as a newcomer and followed several production crews throughout the process, and I gained a lot.
Wang Yaocheng is very satisfied with their performance. This layout is aimed at Marvel animation.
How much does Wang Yaocheng feel about Marvel Animation?
In the original plan, the semiconductor industry and Marvel animation were two legs, the real core pillars. As for other industries, they could be abandoned.
Later, as the situation changed, Wang Yaocheng established Yahoo as a core company in the field of network technology. This is the three cores of development.
As for Atlantic Business Machines, it simply completed the business puzzle. It had no high expectations at first, but who knew it would suddenly become famous and become the most important profit pillar.
The red and purple state is a bit like the symbol of Apple in later generations, which is unexpected.
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
Under the flapping of the wings of rebirth, the world has changed too much. Many things can no longer be seen from the old perspective and must change as the situation develops.
This is the current situation.
After acquiring a controlling stake in Marvel, Wang Yaocheng kept it there without asking any questions. It was all Stan Lee who was doing the tossing.
He sent Pan Shiyi and his men to settle in Marvel and took full control of the financial power. This is the right of the major shareholder, and it is absolutely impossible to let that old man Stan Lee go to waste.
Pan Shiyi was the most outstanding among the Six Gentlemen of Agricultural Science and Technology, and he also achieved the greatest achievements in later generations. He was also an expert in finance and accounting, and his vision and thinking were second-to-none.
Being able to assign him to this position shows that he is highly valued.
For Marvel animation, it has not yet reached the period of explosive growth. The price of computer stunts is too high, and the technical level is not up to standard. It needs time to sharpen and settle.
Marvel animated blockbusters have always been outstanding with their visual effects. They are typical popcorn IP movies. Without special effects, they are nothing.
In 1994, Marvel Animation produced the blockbuster film "Blade", which grossed US$150 million at the global box office. After excluding the 38 million filming funds, the box office profit was as high as US$54 million.
The second blockbuster film "Austin Powers" grossed over US$100 million in global theaters, and Marvel Animation earned another US$27 million at the box office. It is another blockbuster film produced by DreamWorks.
These two major victories enabled Marvel Animation to turn around, with full-year revenue reversing its loss-making situation and a surplus of US$610,000.
That's right, that's all.
The money earned is used to fill the holes in previous years, make up for the losses of the publishing house, and distribute some benefits to the old employees. After paying the taxes, there is only this little left.
In the United States, everyone must pay inheritance tax when they die.
Therefore, Americans always regard themselves as taxpayers. In fact, they pay too much in taxes, and they bring it out when they talk.
As an old company with a long history, Marvel Animation has complex interpersonal relationships, overlapping and bloated organizational structures, and very low administrative efficiency.
The animation publishing department and the patent and copyright department that can really generate income have low profitability. The entire animation market has been severely impacted by TV and movies, especially the game industry, which has attracted many teenagers. This is the general trend.
Therefore, animation publishing houses as a whole are losing money and are burdened with heavy debts. Most of them rely on the support of their parent companies to survive.
Marvel Animation can barely make a profit on its own, which is like a little green among thousands of flowers. It is really rare.
Riding on the market's hype of Boss's companies, Marvel's stock price has also surged from a low of $4.72 to $7.35, which is a pretty good performance.
As a first-hand layout, Hong Kong filmmakers are more suitable to encounter the development of Hollywood than those from the mainland, and the conditions are much superior in all aspects.
Hong Kong filmmakers can speak English well and have rich experience in directing and directing. They are more likely to accept Hollywood's rules and get started faster.
Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei are two of the Seven Eccentrics of New Art City. They have opened film companies respectively and are familiar with professional professions such as production, directing, photography and lighting, and martial arts instruction. Their talents and emotional intelligence are all instant choices.
Especially Huang Baiming, 49 years old, a senior practitioner in the film industry.
He can be called the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Hong Kong film industry. He has personally made many famous movie stars famous, produced and broadcast dozens of blockbuster films, and starred in the "Happy Ghost" series, which is even more unique and created a precedent for teenage youth films.
Whether it is in his acting career or as a film company boss, Eric Tsang is no less impressive. He is also a gold medal emcee. He will definitely not be a coward if he can serve as the president of the Hong Kong Artists Association in the future.
Chen Baixiang, 45 years old, is a great talent. He once formed a band called "The Losers" with his friends and served as the lead singer. He defeated Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band at the 1971 Hong Kong Music Festival. His strength is evident.
Similarly, he has been a producer, director, actor, host, and there are almost no skills he can't do.
As a hobby, Chen Baixiang obtained a professional jockey license in New Zealand and can be described as a versatile master.
These three are real treasures of old men with a lot of potential that can be tapped.
Compared with those Hong Kong directors and Baodao directors who have become famous in Hollywood, Wang Yaocheng values these three experienced seniors more.
A director can only make one film a hit, but a good manager can make the entire company prosper. Different perspectives will naturally lead to different views on problems.
The Marvel company always needs to have tight control in its own hands. Instead of using American managers, it is better to use these Hong Kong veterans.
At least everyone is more closely connected by blood and has a stronger sense of mutual identity.
