Chapter 427 The Landlord and the Trouble

"Good morning, Sister Hua. It's rare that you are so early today." Wang Xuzheng and Wang Fei were enjoying breakfast together when they saw Wang Jinghua pushing the door open and walking in.

"Don't I have something to do with you? Do you know how difficult it is for you to date now?" Wang Jinghua is obviously not without resentment. Wang Xu is now becoming more and more arrogant. Some time ago, he even suddenly received a phone call to say that he was going to retreat. , and then disappeared silently for three months.

When I asked Wang Fei, Wang Fei just said she didn't know, but looking at his unconcerned expression, I knew it was definitely not a bad thing, but it was too unreliable.

Although the Wang Chao Group has nothing to do with Wang Xu legally speaking, he has always been its soul figure. When encountering important matters, everyone habitually asks his opinion.

His absence for three months really made everyone uncomfortable. In the past, even if they couldn't be contacted, they could still send a message through Wang Fei, but this time he disappeared all of a sudden.

I heard that he was back in the past two days, but he didn't even come to the company. He only focused on being affectionate with Wang Fei. Wang Jinghua really dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

After all, Wang Xu is the soul, but Wang Fei is definitely the facade. I don't know how these two couples got it done. Now, no matter who it is, everyone will give some face to Wang Fei, and no one dares to provoke her own artists.

Wang Jinghua may still have the soul of an agent. Even though she is now a big boss, she still cares about her artists. In the past two years, the company's artist studios have been established one after another, and there seems to be a trend of dominating the imperial capital.

Apart from anything else, you said that if you want to find artists from Wang Chao to perform or act, then everything is easy to discuss, but if you want to ask artists to drink with you, hehe, if it is not very bad, at most it will be rejected.

Last time, there was a second-generation girl who thought her family was bad. She stopped Girls' Generation's car in the county town, forced several girls to drink with her, and even tied her up. Both bodyguards were beaten unconscious and were taken to the hospital by passers-by.

Wang Jinghua received the news that the bodyguard who had been sent to the hospital called after he woke up. Wang Jinghua was so anxious that she contacted the local police and arranged for new bodyguards to rush over.

Wang Fei happened to come to the company that day. She is now the legal person of the company and is quite responsible. She shows up every once in a while. To her, she is already quite responsible and there is nothing wrong with her.

Anyway, she had nothing to do with her, she just wanted to help Wang Xu keep an eye on the situation. When Wang Xu heard this, he said, hey, that's good, this girl cares about the family.

Wang Fei heard this situation, took out her mobile phone and made a call, briefly explained the matter, and then hung up.

Only about half an hour later, Girls' Generation's personal manager called to say he was safe. They said that they had returned to the hotel, and the people there seemed to have been taken away by a team of police. They and others were safe and sound.

Wang Jinghua later inquired about it, not to mention the second generation, it seems that even the first generation went to the northwest to dig sand. It is said that they dug out a lot of past events, such as evil forces and so on, and then caught up with the 97 Severe Strikes, Twenty Year.

Well, that's roughly the situation. Anyway, nowadays, basically no one dares to provoke Wang Chao's artists. Those who don't know or don't understand will basically be persuaded by colleagues and friends.

This circle is very chaotic, and people in it are basically used to it. As long as it doesn't cause a storm in the city, no one bothers to care about it. At most, they can chat a few words when gossiping.

Wang Jinghua doesn't really care about her artist's love and marriage. After all, the mainstay of her family has long been her husband and wife. Artists are easy to manage. As long as they are not talking nonsense or doing anything random, it is no big deal.

Those who are somewhat famous have basically set up studios and gone out independently, and they don’t have to do much business and connections.

Wang Xu has a soft character, but he also has his bottom line. He doesn't care how the artist develops. Anyway, as long as you don't starve to death, he doesn't feel he owes you anything. After all, whether you can be popular or not, who will be popular? Can't tell clearly.

Even if you are a bit immoral, Wang Xu doesn't bother to care. After all, why should he care about things that even the law can't control? Anyway, you have a bad reputation, and it's your own business to not find a job.

Wang Jinghua is now responsible for the safety of artists, and his studio is responsible for everything else. All studios are informed of all kinds of cooperation, and you can fight for it yourself. There are not so many so-called resource issues.

There will naturally be some messy things during this period, but as long as it's not illegal, Wang Jinghua doesn't care either. Except for the few people around Wang Xu, like Girls' Generation, Zou Xun, Luo Qi, etc., the company would use some connections, and everyone else is basically treated equally.

Moreover, Wang Xu has always been opposed to the kind of operation where artists rush to the scene, and he is even more disgusted with the behavior of trying to have a hand in any drama. That is not a responsible attitude. The method of coming from a small place like Xiangjiang is too easy for all the resources to be tilted towards a certain one. artist.

It would make it impossible for others to survive, at least it would be very difficult to get ahead. Actors here at Wang Xu can work in up to two plays a year, and they can't last more than nine months.

Even singers need at least three months to six months to rest and recuperate, whether it’s training or resting. Anyway, don’t rush all the food and leave a window for other artists.

This system is not mandatory, but anyway, the company can arrange so much work for you at most, and will not choose you for other tasks at all. As for you talking about going to other companies' studios, that's fine, but next year the company will reduce your quota accordingly.

However, this was only 1997, and Wang Chao's film and television industry qualifications were basically approved by the reform pilot, so every time he had to get a state-owned film factory to produce the factory.

Unless you can go to a studio in Hong Kong or overseas, where are the other studios?

As for the state-owned ones, hehe, in these days and months, there is still some investment in joint venture films, and for others, they can’t even use up their own actors. Anyway, reform is going on now, and it will take some time to see the details. The entire film market has long been in chaos due to the disruption caused by Wang Xu and overseas blockbusters.

"What's the matter in such a hurry?" Wang Xu was a little confused. He looked back at Wang Fei and saw that she also had a confused look on her face. It was obvious that she didn't know either.

"It's approved. Our theater chain operating license has been approved. The first one only requires that an independent company must be established to operate it."

"That's a good thing. Do you still need to ask me about this? Aren't you already prepared?" Wang Xu asked in surprise.

"The problem is, we have too many theaters. We have covered almost all counties in the country, and our equipment has been spread to the plateau and border areas. It is more than the number of other theaters in the country combined." Wang Jinghua's expression was not shocked at all. Instead, he had a look of gloating on his face.

She knows that Wang Xu likes to keep a low profile, but in recent years they have built small theaters all over the country, with four or five screens in a county. They are basically located in the commercial center of the county, and the houses are all bought. .

But the housing prices across the country are so low right now, and Wang Xu and Wang Fei's annual overseas income is simply crazy. The direct consequence is the influx of massive funds, which makes Wang Jinghua complain endlessly.

This is the result of Wang Xu allocating a large amount of funds to develop various strange technologies, but the profitability of these three companies is really too strong.

It can be said that the three giants are all wealthy people. Anyone who runs a studio in the company is basically financially free, and ordinary employees can be considered high-income earners.

In this way, Wang Xu and Wang Fei still couldn't spend all the dollars they kept earning. The two of them still combined to exceed 100 million the year before last. Last year, each of them exceeded 100 million. This year has slowed down, but the total is approaching 200 million.

This money, converted into RMB, would amount to several billions. Even if 20% is left and thrown into the current real estate market, it will belong to a big boss.

Fortunately, Wang Xu did not enter real estate or invest in heavy industry. Without these two, unless it was for scientific instruments, there would be no way to spend so much money.

Wang Jinghua and Tang Yun Yuzhuoyi discussed it and found that all three companies had expansion needs. Tang Yun wanted to make a low-end luxury brand, Wang Jinghua wanted to start a cinema chain, and Yu Zhuo wanted to sell film and television equipment.

Come on, let's just build small business centers everywhere. People are focusing on Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but Wang Jinghua and the others are fully blooming. As long as there is a famous one on the map, they can arrange it.

Then, they created an underground theater complex with the largest number of screens and the widest geographical coverage in the country. Although it was not called a theater chain at that time, and there was no license. All the theaters were very few that could even show new movies.

Most of them show old movies in the name of video halls, and their profits mainly come from small theaters that provide two seats and sell drinks and snacks.

There are more than a hundred seats, and there are even more than a dozen seats, but they are all the kind with good privacy and first-class movie viewing effect. You know, that era.

Wang Jinghua even had a headache, but this model was really quite profitable. Money begets money, and profits are compounded. Within two years, small movie theaters like this were spread all over the country.

Even small urban complexes and neighborhood centers have been built by Wang Jinghua in some core cities.

Although the houses were built, they were not sold, but were only rented out. The houses were owned by a young couple and were managed by several companies.

But this operation turned Wang Xu and his wife into the largest landlords in China. The real estate certificates in their names can be used as houses.

After listening to Wang Jinghua's speech that seemed to be complaining but more like showing off for a while, Wang Xu also understood that this was a reward for good news and merit. He turned around and nodded to Wang Fei. This matter is simple, just pay dividends, what else can he do.

Although there were dividends in the first two years, there was really not much effort. The main reason was that most of the money was earned by the couple, and the trio was not very willing to embezzle it on a large scale. However, after entering this year, the business volume of the trio has obviously begun to expand dramatically. , at this time large-scale dividends are naturally logical.

Most of Wang Xu’s employees here also have the right to receive dividends, which is similar to Huawei’s model, but not that many. After all, the employees here are very replaceable, and most of them are service types with little technical content. Too much dividends are not good A good thing can also lead to a decrease in service quality.

However, the three of them have their own arrangements for these management issues, and Wang Xu does not need to worry about them at all. He only needs to appease these three princes. At least for now, the three of them don't have any second thoughts. Wang Xu is still sure of this. The three of them have their own abilities and ambitions, so it's up to them to do whatever they want.

While they were chatting, they saw a gentle knock on the door, and in came Director Jiang, who was carrying a bag under his arm and was dusty from work.

Before Wang Xu could speak, Director Jiang was heard complaining.

"How come you are so capable of tormenting others? Forget it last time you tormented the West. Why are you not even sparing your own people this time?"

"What's wrong with me? Tell me?" Wang Xu looked innocent. He hadn't done much recently. Isn't it just that he open sourced the "Prehistoric World" setting collection a few days ago. He told Director Jiang about this.

Director Jiang has a headache. This guy is really good at doing things. Most of his work in the industrial field is reliable, but in the field of literature and art, he can really let himself go.

Those who were arguing were having a headache even at the top. They held an urgent meeting to discuss ways to suppress the situation. Director Jiang and Wang Xu were also asked to discuss whether we could stop being so blind.

Wang Xu previously found literature and history majors from several universities and countless writers from all over the world who knew something about history or folk culture. He built a large house in Changping to conduct research, which was called a retreat, and it lasted two years. , and finally came up with such a large setting set based on Chinese mythology.

This setting can be said to be the one that Wang Xu spent the longest time on. It was not until he could no longer find any big logical loopholes that he officially launched it as open source to the public.

The original person, Wang Xu, did not disband, and only those who were willing to stay stayed. In fact, most people have their own units. After this project is completed, they will naturally return to their original units.

In this era, there is actually a good way out for studying literature. After all, college students are already scarce, and even technical secondary school students are considered experts.

In the end, those who are willing to stay here are basically those who have some pursuits, but most of them are forward-thinking. If they are not forward-thinking, they will not be willing to do such subversive things.

Wang Xu simply set up a site dedicated to collecting online novels. These people can just write according to their own ideas, and they can write whatever they want. Anyway, the monthly salary is really not enough for Wang Xu.

The combined salaries of these people may not be as expensive as renting servers and bandwidth. Hardware in this era is really expensive.

Anyway, raising a few people in these years is really not a pressure for Wang Xu, not to mention that he can use them to start the era of online novels. Not to mention that they have no imagination. After experiencing such an imaginative project, this The gangsters are full of ideas.

On the contrary, the shortcoming may be in the rhythm and plot. After all, these people are still educated in traditional literature. The rhythm is relatively traditional, and the writing style is not easy to read, and the writing is refreshing all the way.

But it doesn’t matter. Wang Xu never thinks that popular aesthetics must be good. Popular aesthetics is definitely the best seller, but it is difficult to develop popular aesthetics. Even in the mobile media era of later generations, the so-called popular aesthetics are still done by a group of elites. from.

Internet public opinion is just a way for one group of elites to defeat another group of elites. The people Wang Xu left behind are basically familiar with the use of the Internet. Who knows that there is no one in his base who does not have access to the Internet.

Coupled with his good relationship with major newspapers, well, there is no shortage of people for him here.

It sounds unpleasant to say, but so-called public opinion and popular aesthetics have always been guided by elite aesthetics.

After something becomes popular for a period of time, it will naturally spread to all aspects of society.

At this time, those who have money, status, and status are always unwilling to be ignored by everyone, and they always want to do something different.

Even in the 1970s and 1980s, when everyone wore military green, those with high status would wear uniforms like generals to show off their differences, not to mention the modern era after the opening up.

In the 1990s, people began to learn to focus on money. Once they had money, everything would be easier, so they hired various qualified and unqualified artists to create things that met their aesthetic needs.

Whether it's a mansion, a villa, a large flat, a manor, an old house, or a courtyard house, these things become things that carry new tastes within a certain period of time.

Their favorite singers, movie stars, and successful people will naturally bring something that suits their hobbies. Even in the era of voting by mobile phone, those with money will vote for the one that suits their aesthetics.

Then, this trend will gradually spread and form a new round of so-called popularity. As the economy develops and the economic structure changes, the structure of rich and status people is also changing.

The widespread popularity of the aesthetics of blossoming wealth and wealth is actually the product of dismantling the aesthetics of one generation and spreading it to vast rural areas. The later mahogany, logs, and later light luxury are nothing more than the taste of different elites from generation to generation. It’s just a choice that suits your own aesthetic taste.

Therefore, Wang Xu's attitude has always been tolerant. He has experienced too many worlds and has his own views on aesthetics. His views on beauty are also quite different from those of the public.

Maybe he doesn’t understand the public the best, but he must be the most tolerant of the public. However, he has become the leader of the public many times. The reason is very simple. He is successful, dazzling, and a benchmark type. People can’t help but follow.

He made a movie called "The Matrix", and his black trench coat and sunglasses have become popular Chinese styles for several years. If you are really a man, you must have a set.

Just like Wang Fei, every move she makes now will almost affect the fashion trend of the entire Chinese community. Recently, she has begun to like ethnic minority costumes, not only from China, but also from Southeast Asia, and of course, from childhood.

There are a lot of different accessories in various matching styles. This is related to the fact that her status has become higher and higher recently, but she has begun to perform more and more down-to-earth performances. She has begun to take more local performances. , and then the local people will come up with some very unique gifts for her.

Then these accessories will appear in her various outfits, forming a very distinctive fashion trend.

The most interesting thing is that Wang Fei is also very interested in the background research of "The Prehistoric World". She is obviously curious about the clothes from ancient times, so much so that she has recently begun to think about various types of Hanfu.

Wang Xu also followed suit and cooperated with several universities to establish a large-scale scientific research project to sort out and restore the costumes of various eras and ethnic groups in ancient China. Even the Dunhuang Research Institute, which facilitated their engagement, received a large amount of funding to Organize and restore Dunhuang costumes.

Well, you see, this is the difference in the way of doing things when the resources are different. Wang Xu can naturally make a few sets for Wang Fei's reference, but there is no way to be as efficient and accurate as integrating a large number of scholar resources.

In fact, Wang Xu also had a big social science project in "The Prehistoric World", but what the university wanted was real academic and archaeological results, but what Wang Xu wanted was unbridled imagination. Everyone got what they needed, and the results were very different. good.

If Wang Xu spreads tens of millions of yuan, in this era, it can be said to be almost nuclear bomb level. You must know that the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project, a national project and a key project of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, requires an investment of one to two billion a year.

This is because a large amount of equipment was used during the period to verify materials, dates, and astronomy. For Wang Xu, all he had to do was search from existing data. There was basically no need for special verification. In many cases, , it doesn’t matter if you open your mind.

This kind of project is simply the favorite of major liberal arts universities. Wang Xu has always been a student of Pratt \u0026 Whitney Science and Engineering. This time, it is finally our turn to receive this incredible wealth.

The formation was full of gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, and red flags waving...
