Chapter 365 Right-hand man
The problem? The problem is that I only prepared four dishes and one soup, but you asked me to make a full banquet!
It has now been confirmed that Wang Deming is serious about the film company and is investing real money in it, so there are many things to consider.

It is impossible to support a film company by one person alone. As the saying goes, a single tree cannot make a forest. What is the use of having only a director? Screenwriters, producers, supervisors, stage managers, stage managers, sets, props, photography, lighting, and actors are all needed. It will not work without a group of people.

Throwing in King Hu and Er Guang who came with me today is just a shell company.
Li Hanxiang suddenly leaned back on the sofa like a salted fish, humming: "Mr. Wang, there are too many questions."

He counted on his fingers and told Wang Deming, "The studio and the location are the most basic. After that, we need to recruit people. You can't leave it to the three of us."

He pointed at himself, King Hu, and Er Guang and said, "Can you take full responsibility? You have to find us a general manager! You have to make the final decision on finance and personnel matters."

"Let's not worry about the shares yet. We have to set up the film company first, right?"

Seeing Li Hanxiang's shameless look, Wang Deming suddenly remembered Ge Da Ye, a famous second-generation star in his previous life, who was more like the ruffian type of the old men from Northeast China and Beijing.

"Anything else? Shouchun will definitely be in charge of the general manager, but she will only be in charge of the direction. She will definitely not be in charge of the specific affairs." He was not angry, and smiled and said, "The finance department can just advertise for recruitment in the newspaper. I have long-term cooperation with two major accounting firms: KPMG and Pricewaterhouse. They audit my companies every year."

"As for personnel matters, didn't you mention earlier that Shaw Brothers had poached a group of directors and actors from Great Wall and other film companies?"

He held up a finger and said, "As long as you recruit them, the salary will be increased by 2% to 5%. Director Li, you can agree to it anytime."

"Knock, knock, sir, Attorney Jerry is here."

Wang Deming stood up and shook hands with Jerry. After introducing Li Hanxiang and others, he said, "Lawyer Jerry, you know the film company my wife registered. Originally, I just wanted to invest a few million for fun, but now I am interested in officially operating the film company."

"You can discuss the details with Director Li Hanxiang, especially the contract part, and leave it to me afterwards."

"Yes, Mr. Wang."

He then shook hands with Li Hanxiang and the other two separately. "You have all seen my attitude towards the film company today. You can discuss the specific contract issues with Jerry. Just ask for any benefits you want. I am serious about the film city."

"it is good!"

After seeing off Li Hanxiang and others, Wang Deming did not return to his desk. Instead, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked at Victoria Harbour outside the window.

The main purpose of meeting Li Hanxiang and others today was to express his attitude. He didn't need to ask about the specific matters, he only looked at the results.

Not only can he convince Pfizer and Merck in the United States to invest money in him, he can also see through the inner thoughts of his subordinates.

He knows exactly who is capable and who can do the work.

Doing business and starting a company is simple, it can be summed up in four words: knowing people and using them well.

So even though he only knew Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao as Hong Kong's business celebrities in his previous life, he still dared to invest heavily in the textile industry because he knew that Mr. Chen and Mr. Cao were good at doing business.

Suddenly he thought of Mr. Yip Fu. Since Li Hanxiang was going to move over here, it was only right and proper for him to say hello to him.

I put out my cigarette, returned to my desk, pressed the key and told my secretary to contact Mr. Shaw to arrange a meeting time.
A week later, on a yacht in Victoria Harbor, Wang Deming and Mr. Shaw were sitting at a small round table, drinking red wine and smoking cigars. Opposite them sat a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking gentle and elegant. As soon as they met, Wang Deming bluntly said that he wanted to recruit Li Hanxiang to his film company.

"Mr. Wang, are you saying that you plan to actually open a film company? And then let Li Hanxiang recruit a group of people to run it?"

"That's right. My wife's previous idea was just to pay some money and have people make movies she liked, so she set up a film company. But recently she has changed her mind and wants to really do it."

"Mr. Wang, it's not easy to run a film company. Over the past decade or so, many film companies, big and small, have gone bankrupt in Hong Kong. Didn't the previously largest Wing Wah Films, which was very wealthy, also close down and was bought by Singapore's Cathay Pacific?" Mr. Shaw had a headache. There were already enough film companies in Hong Kong, and the pressure on Shaw Brothers Film Company was very great.

Unexpectedly, a big deep-water crocodile suddenly appeared. How can we play this game?
Wang Deming raised the corners of his lips, "Mr. Shao, you are right. I won't hide it from you. The reason I had this idea was because my wife was not convenient recently due to the Great Wall and Phoenix companies, so I went to them to discuss cooperation."

"In the end, I was rejected."

"So, Mr. Shao, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. It doesn't cost much to open a film company in Hong Kong. I have already made an appointment with Governor Ge to discuss the purchase of land next month. I plan to get a larger piece of land in Hong Kong and build an ancient film and television city. In addition to shooting movies, I can also sell tickets."

Mr. Yifu took a breath and said, "Mr. Wang, are you talking about the film and television city?"

"Well, otherwise there's no point in making a small fuss."

"Well, since you and Hanxiang have already agreed, I can't help but be perfect, Raymond."

"Mr. Shao."

"Mr. Wang, this is my right-hand man Lei Meng and Zou Huaiwen at Shaw Brothers, the deputy general manager and production manager. Alas, I originally asked Lei Meng to meet with you today to discuss the cooperation between our two theater chains. I didn't expect that."

"Raymond, talk to Li Heizi tomorrow, resolve the contract, and then send me an agenda."

"Okay, Mr. Shao."

Mr. Shaw sighed deeply, saying that life is so unpredictable.

Zou Huaiwen?
Who later founded Golden Harvest? Who supported Bruce Lee in making movies that influenced the world, thus making the word Kung Fu famous all over the world? Who later made Jack Chen famous.
Being able to make two international superstars famous in the Chinese world, this person's ability is definitely top-notch!

Hey, where is Bruce Lee now? Can we intercept him?
At the very least, let's see if we can save this martial arts genius. You know, Bruce Lee is still influencing the Western world decades after his death.

Only then did Wang Deming carefully observe Zou Huaiwen opposite him.

He was about 45 or 6 years old, with a round face, gold-rimmed glasses, a receding hairline, a gentle and refined appearance, wearing a well-tailored suit, and a constant smile on his face.
"Hello, Sir Wang, I am Zou Huaiwen, you can call me Raymond."

Wang Deming took the initiative to shake hands, shaking it up and down enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Mr. Raymond, I have heard a lot about you!"

"Uh, Sir Wang, you are too polite. I don't deserve it."
