We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Su Cheng, hearing Li Yihui's question, didn't withdraw his gaze. Instead, while looking at the scenery to the north, he answered, "Of course, Tianwen Petroleum Company must also prepare to lay out its plans for the north. In the future, the mainland will be the fastest-growing major economy. Don't look down on its relatively backward economy now; that's because the economy has only just begun to open up, and it's still in the initial stage of economic development. If we don't plan ahead, then if you look back in twenty years, you'll definitely regret it to the point of your intestines turning green."

Although in the future, a large part of the mainland market will be monopolized by the 'Three Barrels of Oil,' the remaining small portion of the market is also very considerable. After all, this is a huge market with over a billion people.

Besides, petrochemical companies are not limited to fuel as their only business.

Companies like Shell have made a fortune relying on lubricating oil, fuel additives, and other value-added petroleum products.

"Okay, boss, I know what to do," Li Yihui said, nodding.

Although he is the president of Tianwen Petroleum Company and can be responsible for all the company's affairs, including future development plans,

He still needs to consider the boss's suggestions and combine them with the actual situation to make plans.

After all, this company belongs to the boss, Su Cheng, not him, Li Yihui.

After inspecting at sea for half an hour, the patrol boat began to return.

It's not hard to see from this inspection that the investment and construction progress in Pengcheng is still very smooth.

Before his investment projects are completed, if there are no special circumstances, such as being invited to visit by the other side, he doesn't plan to go to Guangdong Province again for the time being.

Back at the Tuen Mun oil base dock, Su Cheng bid farewell to Li Yihui and the others, got into the Rolls-Royce, and prepared to return to the city.

He is quite satisfied with the development of Tianwen Petroleum Company, especially the opportunity to develop another oil field, which is excellent news.

Although this oil field is a seabed oil field, and the development may be more difficult, seabed oil extraction technology is actually quite mature in this era. In the end, it's just a matter of higher extraction costs.

Back in the city center, Su Cheng made a special trip to the Jiayi Film and Television Group headquarters in the International Building to chat with Liang Shuyi about the development of Jiayi Film and Television Group.

Jiayi Film and Television Group has now steadily become the top television station in Hong Kong. Although TVB is constantly trying to surpass Jiayi Television, with the many future popular resources provided by Su Cheng, TVB's idea is just a dream. Not only has the viewership not caught up, but the gap between the two has become larger and larger.

Now, Jiayi Television's daily viewership has steadily occupied about 80% of Hong Kong's viewership, with TVB occupying the remaining 20%.

This is even after RTV went bankrupt, and some of RTV's loyal viewers turned to support TVB. Otherwise, TVB's viewership would be even more unbearable to look at.

It's worth mentioning that since Jiayi Film and Television Group cooperated with Nami Entertainment, the revenue of both companies has increased significantly.

"Boss, we started an artist talent show on August 1st. You should know about it, right?" Liang Shuyi said.

"Yes, of course I know. What's wrong?" Su Cheng asked.

Although Su Cheng didn't pay much attention to this program, he still knew about it.

Because sometimes when he was in the living room, he saw Zhong Chuhong watching the program with great interest.

"Currently, our talent show is coming to an end. It is expected that in another week, it will be the grand final. This time, we have discovered many talented newcomers, some with talent in acting, and some with talent in singing. After the talent show ends, we will sign contracts with these newcomers and officially hire them as members of our Jiayi Film and Television Group.

The addition of these newcomers is enough to free our group from the problem of insufficient artists. Moreover, relying on this artist talent show, our viewership rate is very high during the 7 pm to 9 pm time slot on weekends, once breaking through 90% viewership. Because of this, I heard that TVB also plans to hold their own artist talent show," Liang Shuyi said with a smile.

"Do you have a list? Let me see it," Su Cheng suddenly had this thought. He wanted to see if there were any actors he was familiar with from his previous life on this list.

"Yes, I'll get it for you now," Liang Shuyi said, getting up.

After speaking, she returned to her desk, opened a drawer, took out a sheet of A4 paper, and then returned to Su Cheng's opposite.

"Boss, this is the list of the top 32. These people have already become our internally decided contracted artists," Liang Shuyi said.

"Okay," Su Cheng responded and looked at the names on the list.

Of these 32 artists, at least a dozen were artists he knew in his previous life, some with great fame and some with average fame.

Among them, Su Cheng directly circled five names.

"Stephen Chow."

"Andy Lau."

"Anita Mui."

"Tony Leung."

These artists can all be regarded as artists he liked more in his previous life, especially Stephen Chow, who was his favorite film and television actor.

"Boss, what is this?" Seeing Su Cheng circle these names, Liang Shuyi didn't understand what it meant, so she asked.

"I've watched a lot of your artist talent show programs. Among them, these five contestants have caught my attention. Focus on cultivating them," Su Cheng said directly.

Of course, this was just his excuse. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to this program at all, and he didn't even know that these artists had appeared in the talent show and successfully advanced to the top 32.

"Okay, boss, I will focus on cultivating them after signing the contract," Liang Shuyi replied directly.

Since the boss had specifically instructed her, she would certainly not say anything that would displease the boss. After all, she was just an employee.

"Is there a list besides the top 32?" Su Cheng continued to ask.

He wanted to see if there were any famous artists from later generations who didn't make it into the top 32. If there were, he could remind Liang Shuyi.

Although Hong Kong has cultivated countless artists, the number of first-line artists is actually not too many. To become a first-line artist, in addition to luck, it is also related to the artist's own talent.

Therefore, if you discover famous artists from later generations, you must take them all down.

"Yes, I have a list of the top 100 here. I'll go get it," Liang Shuyi said without hesitation and went back to get another list.

Taking Liang Shuyi's A4 paper again, Su Cheng took the rare opportunity to carefully look at each name one by one.

"We have also signed some of the contestants outside the top 32. Although they were eliminated, we can also see that some people are talented. It's just that due to age restrictions or experience constraints, they ultimately failed. We will communicate with these talented contestants and give them the opportunity to sign a contract. If they are willing to sign, we will sign, and we will not force them if they are not willing," Liang Shuyi continued to say while Su Cheng was carefully looking at the names.
