Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Chapter 424 Consolation (Part 1)

In 1985, the world's military spending reached more than 900 billion U.S. dollars. Many countries were dragged down by huge armies, and their economies developed slowly or stagnated, and even experienced economic regression.

China, which has a huge army, is also facing the problem of serious redundancy in the army, so China decided to cut its army by one million.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of China's large-scale disarmament, Xu Cun asked Tu Weihua to help him recruit another 500 well-trained and even battlefield-ready soldiers to expand his bodyguard team. In addition, Xu Cun asked Su Qiao to return Zhou Lan, and then asked Zhou Lan to take someone to the mainland to recruit two hundred female soldiers for scout training.

Can Xu Cun use so many bodyguards?

The answer is yes, otherwise why would Xu Cun recruit so many bodyguards?

First of all, Xu Cun and his family have to use a lot of bodyguards—Xu Cun often brings four teams of bodyguards (three teams of six standard scouts plus Tu Weihua, Zhou Lan, Shen Jing, Su Qiao) twenty-two , There are fifty-eight people in three shifts. Each of the women wears a team of bodyguards (four men, two women and six), and the current women alone need more than two hundred bodyguards. If more people are added in the future, how many bodyguards will be needed?

Secondly, since Xiangjiang will be taken back by China in 1997, the British Hong Kong government has loosened up the management of Xiangjiang, so that the current security environment in Xiangjiang is getting worse and worse. Therefore, the DreamWorks management company has to give its artists, especially Big-name artists are equipped with special bodyguards, and Xu Cun also has to provide bodyguards for important personnel of various companies under his name, which will also take up a lot of bodyguards.

Thirdly, when Xu Cun’s Manor on the Shi’ao Peninsula and Beijing’s Prince Guo’s Mansion are built, many bodyguards will be stationed in the two places, especially the Shi’ao Peninsula Manor, which Xu Cun regards as his base camp. Prepare to send no less than two companies (two hundred) of bodyguards to garrison.

Secondly, bodyguards must also be stationed on Musha Island and Necker Island, especially Necker Island, which has an important brokerage status—Xu Cun plans to send two platoons (about 60 people) of bodyguards to be stationed on Musha Island. A company (about a hundred men) of bodyguards was stationed on Necker Island.

Finally, Xu Cun's special industries such as the head office of Baye Bank must also have a large number of high-quality bodyguards stationed.

All in all, Xu Cun had to keep a large number of bodyguards.

Moreover, Xu Cun not only has to support a large number of bodyguards, but also has to support a large number of family members of the bodyguards—as long as they become Xu Cun's bodyguards, not only these bodyguards themselves can get extremely high treatment, such as extremely high salaries, The film and television city obtained the right to live in a 1,000-square-foot high-end apartment, five insurances and one housing fund, etc., and their families will also be given priority to work in various companies under Xu Cun's name.

Therefore, Xu's security expenses are huge!

Of course, high investment also has high returns - Xu Cun's bodyguards can not only protect Xu Cun and others and Xu Cun's property safety, but also help Xu Cun monitor the important personnel of various companies under Xu Cun's name and even Xu Cun's group Women, so that they dare not betray Xu Cun.

...

Thanks to Xu Cun's connivance, TVB has really come back to life - after the hard work of Shao Yifu and his wife, the average ratings of Phoenix TV and TVB are now maintained at about 6 to 4.

Regarding this, Xu Cun couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that Mr. and Mrs. Shao and his wife have been able to dominate the Xiangjiang TV industry for four or fifty years and beat all their opponents!"

but--

If TVB wants to catch up, it will not be that easy-after all, Phoenix TV has Xu Cun's "Happy Camp", "Wei Ru's Date", "Clang Threesome", "The Voice of China", "Millionaire" and other enduring variety shows are supported, and people like Zhou Liangshuyi and Xu Xiaoming are not incompetent.

But then again, competition between Phoenix TV and TVB is inevitable.

For example: the previous "Miss Xiangjiang" beauty pageant, its concept is to pay equal attention to wisdom and beauty. As a result, the contestants who are most likely to win the championship often fall behind in the rankings—in order to avoid suspicion or other reasons, the judges will always choose to give high marks to beauties with poor appearance, education, conversation, and outstanding performance. pressed down.

But this year is different. It is not difficult to see from TVB's promotional content that this year's "Miss Xiangjiang" beauty pageant has no scruples about "judging people by their appearance" and put aside the "beauty and wisdom" that has been emphasized all the time.

This is also why the previous life described this year as the beginning of "Miss Xiangjiang" entering a prosperous period, because from this year onwards "Miss Xiangjiang" is the real beauty selection.

Of course, it is difficult to change a person's business philosophy. For example, Shao Yifu and his wife have pursued the concept of "strict cost control" all their lives.

Therefore, although TVB has caught Xie Ning, Luo Jinru, Wang Ailun and other good cards this year, TVB is reluctant to make a big splash on them and create a lot of momentum for them.

On the other hand, Phoenix TV, because Xu Cun, a big spendthrift boss, set a precedent, Zhou Liangshuyi and others have gradually discarded the good habit of strictly controlling costs that they developed in TVB-they followed Xu Cun's example and paid more attention to open source.

Take "Miss Phoenix" this time as an example, Zhou Liangshuyi and others actually spent 5 million Hong Kong dollars to hype it! Let Li Yanche, Pan Xianyi, Ye Yuqing, Zhu Huiche, Zhao Xiasheng and others get more attention than Xie Ning, Luo Jinru, and Wang Ailun in the early stage of selection.

Xu Cun didn't care about the change of business philosophy of Zhou Liang Shuyi and others - now, Xu Cun has too many industries, so many that it is impossible for him to participate in the specific operation of each company. Now, Xu Cun can only grasp the development direction of these companies based on the reports sent by independent financial companies and various companies. As for the specific operation, it all depends on the management team of each company below. The reports on Phoenix TV sent by the independent financial company and Phoenix TV all show that the development of Phoenix TV has always been very good. Under such circumstances, how could Xu Cun interfere with the business philosophy of Zhou Liang Shuyi and others?

Besides, Xu Cun came to Phoenix TV just to watch the beauty pageant, so how could he be looking for trouble?

...

Among the beauties in this year's "Miss Phoenix" including "Miss Xiangjiang", Xu Cun is undoubtedly the most concerned about Zhou Haimei, a reckless girl—Xu Cun even pays more attention to her than Ye Yuqing.

If Xu Cun were to be the judge, Zhou Haimei, who is pure, sweet and tall, would definitely be the champion, and the runner-up would be the sexy Ye Yuqing.

However, the judges of "Miss Phoenix" thought that Zhou Haimei's 18-year-old youthfulness and silly younger sister's informal performance did not quite meet the noble and generous requirements of Miss Phoenix, so she was excluded from the finals, even 30 years old. The strong door didn't let her in.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan immediately appeared next to Zhou Haimei to comfort Zhou Haimei's wounded heart!
