We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The meeting with Lam Pak-yan was very successful.

Su Cheng planned to hand over the matter of purchasing the six theaters under Lixin Group to Zhang Qizheng.

Anyway, now that the deal has been settled, all that remains is to discuss some minor details before signing the transfer contract and transferring the funds!

As for Lei Juekun's Lisheng Cinema Line, Su Cheng was not familiar with him, so he first asked Lin Baixin to explore the news with Lei Juekun before making plans.

What needs to be done now is to wait.

On September 10th, Su Cheng met with Zhang Qizheng, who had just returned from Singapore, at the Tianyuan Building.

"Boss, I have good news for you," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile as soon as they met.

"Oh? What good news does Uncle Zhang have? I'm all ears!" Su Cheng asked curiously.

"I've found a very suitable successor for Tianwen Oil Company," Zhang Qizheng said.

"Uncle Zhang, please tell me in detail about the specific situation of this suitable successor," Su Cheng said, perking up.

"Since the Su's Group acquired Sanyang Headhunting Company, I asked them to help find a suitable manager for Tianwen Oil Company. Last week, General Manager Liu called me and said that they had found a relatively suitable candidate who is currently in Singapore.

The information provided by General Manager Liu is that this Chinese man named Li Yihui was born in Singapore in 1934, graduated from the University of London with a degree in petroleum engineering, and joined BP Oil Company as a drilling engineer after graduation. He has been responsible for operations in the Gulf of Mexico and India, including serving as a drilling engineer for the development of super-large oil fields. Since 1972, Li Yihui has been responsible for managing BP Group's Asian business, serving as the President of BP Oil Company Asia, and is based in Singapore.

Although Li Yihui is currently in a high position at BP Oil Company, due to his Chinese identity, although he has opened up many new markets for BP Oil Company in Asia and established considerable credit, he has been unable to be promoted further in the position of President of Asia. Basically, his current position has reached its peak.

Therefore, he had the idea of changing jobs. When the elite headhunting consultants of Sanyang Headhunting Company found him, he had a very strong interest in Tianwen Oil Company. So, I flew directly to Singapore a few days ago and had a discussion with him. After the discussion, I returned to Hong Kong."

Zhang Qizheng reported to Su Cheng in detail.

President of PB Oil Company Asia?

Su Cheng was a little surprised to hear that.

You know, BP Oil Company is a well-known large enterprise in the oil industry and one of the world's largest private oil companies.

Su Cheng never thought that a start-up company like Tianwen Oil Company could recruit senior management from the world's top oil companies.

However, the highest management in BP's Asian region is already very good. According to Zhang Qizheng's introduction, there is absolutely no problem for such a person to enter the group headquarters and serve as a senior executive.

It's just that he has been discriminated against because of his Chinese identity, which has hurt him a lot.

No wonder this Li Yihui wants to change jobs.

There is no hope of promotion, so why stay?

"How did your talks with him in Singapore go?" Su Cheng asked.

This is the key point, but from the good news he said earlier, it is obvious that the talks should have been successful, and he is just waiting to report to his boss.

"The main reason why he is interested in Tianwen Oil Company is that you, boss, have made too much noise in the past two months. The previous news of investing tens of billions of dollars into the oil industry, as well as the subsequent investment of tens of billions of dollars to hoard crude oil, have made your name, boss, known to everyone in the oil industry.

With a big financial backer behind him, as long as you, boss, are willing to invest heavily in the oil industry, Tianwen Oil Company, although it is only a start-up company now, has unlimited potential in the future. This is also the reason why Mr. Li Yihui is interested in Tianwen Oil Company.

In Singapore, I talked to him in detail about many things, such as the future development and planning of the oil company. He chatted with me a lot. As expected of a professional in the oil industry, I highly recognize Mr. Li Yihui's ability. Such a talent is worth pulling over to work for you, boss," Zhang Qizheng replied.

"If you think he is capable, it means he is indeed a talent. Okay, the matter of replacing the management of Tianwen Oil Company will be left to you," Su Cheng replied directly.

According to the information Zhang Qizheng said, he is very satisfied with this Li Yihui.

Such a person, serving as the current general manager of Tianwen Oil Company, can even be said to be overqualified.

After returning, Su Cheng will ask Brother Wu to investigate the background of this Li Yihui.

If the information found is really as Zhang Qizheng said, then the position of general manager of Tianwen Oil Company will belong to this Mr. Li Yihui.

Currently, Tianwen Oil Company, apart from the 170 million barrels of crude oil that it is hoarding, the entire company can be said to be under construction and development. A regional president of a world-class oil company is more than qualified to serve as the general manager of Tianwen Oil Company.

As for the 170 million barrels of crude oil, it will be sold off in a while to return funds, and these are naturally not counted in the assets of Tianwen Oil Company.

He has given Jia Shi TV so many movie scripts, and once the first round of movies is filmed, the cinema line will not be afraid of not having movies to show.

Like Golden Harvest Films, they only released ten films last year, plus some independent production companies' films, which made Golden Harvest Cinema Line a fortune.

Therefore, Su Cheng is not worried about not having movies to show when establishing this largest cinema line in Hong Kong.

With Jia Shi in Su Cheng's hands, and his current status, he is really not afraid of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers joining forces to deal with him.

"Boss, won't the cinema line be merged into Jia Shi? As far as I know, you have already asked General Manager Liang of Jia Shi to set up a film department internally," Zhang Qizheng asked in surprise.

"Let's not merge it for the time being. Let's first set up an independent cinema line company. When Liang Shuyi proves her ability and is indeed able to operate an entertainment group, then we will form an entertainment company and merge Jia Shi, the brokerage company, the film company, the cinema line, etc., into this entertainment group. Let's not put too much pressure on her for now, let's take it slowly," Su Cheng said with a smile.

As far as he knows, Liang Shuyi has already poached several heavyweight producers and directors from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in order to set up the film department, and there are already two films that are screening roles, the speed is still very good.

The characteristic of Hong Kong movies in the 1970s and 1980s is that they are filmed quickly. It is normal for a movie to go from filming to release in just one or two months.

In the 1950s, Hong Kong filmmakers once had the saying of "Seven-Day Fresh" for filming Cantonese films. The so-called "Seven-Day Fresh" means that the shortest time from the movie's confirmation to the official release is 7-10 days.
