Chapter 221 Comics
The day after the incident, husband and wife Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin made a special trip to the Global Building to thank Mr. Fang.
Fang Hexuan received them warmly and took them to visit his other subsidiaries in the building.
In fact, he was just showing off to the two of them.
In later generations, there was a landmark-level Ritz-Carlton, Taipei in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, but the Chinachem Group in the 80s, especially when David Wong was still around, was considered very frugal.
Of course, this is just a polite statement in the industry, and privately people are mocking Wang Dehui for being stingy.
Because, as a large-scale real estate company, Chinachem Property's headquarters is just a five-story staircase building converted from a tenement building.
I have to say that Wang Dehui is extremely stingy.
The two of them naturally knew Mr. Fang’s intention, but they were very open-minded and not angry at all.
"Mr. Fang, I came here with Ah Hui this time. First of all, in addition to thanking you for your help yesterday, I also want to hire a few bodyguards from you."
"Haha, that's right. I always joke with people that the most tragic thing in the world is 'the person is gone, but the money is not spent!'"
"Both of them are billionaires with a net worth of several billionaires. The fate of their families and the livelihood of thousands of employees are tied to their shoulders. By protecting themselves, they are actually protecting Chinachem Property."
Wang Dehui didn't say anything, but when he heard Fang Hexuan say that, his lips twitched with anger.
Although what he said makes sense, it also sounds like a strong hint of sarcasm.
Nina Wang was very calm, and had the demeanor of a strong woman taking to the streets.
"Mr. Fang is right. We both decided to buy insurance for ourselves after a night of thinking and discussion."
"No problem. I'll send me mainland bodyguards. They're all elite. How many do you need?"
"2 people."
"How many?"
Fang Hexuan thought he had heard it wrong and had to ask again.
Only then did Gong Xiuqin show a little embarrassment, but she still repeated it reluctantly.
"Mr. Fang, we want to hire two bodyguards."
Fang Hexuan was stunned, looked at his parents-in-law back and forth, and then said doubtfully:
"One for each of you? Is that enough?"
"Mr. Fang misunderstood. We plan to take turns using them."
"What do you mean?"
"If Ah Hui goes out, let two bodyguards follow him. If I go out, let them follow me."
Fang Hexuan understood what he said now, and cursed in his heart, "What a stingy guy!"
But he still smiled and replied:
"That's fine. I really admire how you guys know how to live. If you can save money and increase income, it will be hard for the Wang family not to become one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong in the future."
Although he knew that Mr. Fang was making fun of them, Wang Dehui did not feel ashamed.
"Thank you Mr. Fang for your compliment. Although we are only hiring two people, we will subscribe to this security service for a long time."
"Haha, then I would also like to thank you both for taking care of Blackwater International's business."
"Blackwater International is a good name. I felt it was a very powerful company the first time." "Haha, thank you Mr. Wang for the compliment, but I have to say a few more words. Although you two have decided to hire bodyguards, to be honest, bodyguards are also human beings, and two fists cannot beat four hands. Once you encounter a criminal gang with a large number of people, even if the bodyguards fight to the death, they may not be able to completely protect you two."
"What does Fang Sheng mean?"
"It's better to be careful. For example, regarding yesterday's incident, you could have sent your senior executives to handle it. Some things really don't need to be done personally. I'm telling you this without worrying that you'll think I'm sticking a scallion in a pig's nose."
Gong Ruxin agreed with the richest man's suggestion. She nodded and said:
"Mr. Fang, this is good advice. Ah Hui and I will pay attention to it."
"This is the situation. If you hired more bodyguards, I wouldn't say this at all."
"Um"
······
On April 4, Fang Hexuan reviewed the recent business reports submitted by each subsidiary in the group office in the Global Building.
Among them was a development report written personally by DreamWorks President Liu Tianci, which made him fall into deep thought.
DreamWorks is now the largest film company in Hong Kong, suppressing big companies such as Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Cinema City, not to mention other satellite companies.
There are many talented people, including famous directors, superstars, experienced production teams and a unique screenwriter committee in Hong Kong, which further expand DreamWorks' advantages.
Not to mention that behind this giant stands a giant with even bigger thighs - the richest man in Hong Kong.
Although Fang Hexuan rarely asked about the specific affairs of DreamWorks in the past two years, once it came to recruiting talented people, he never cared about his reputation as the richest man.
It can be said that Mr. Fang has a very good reputation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially in the film and television industry, because he truly values talent.
It’s not to say that DreamWorks Pictures is spotless. There are definitely some individuals who use their power to bully actors.
But since the founding of this company by its big boss Fang Hexuan, he has always attached great importance to the company's institutional construction.
The system may be cold, but it can guarantee the greatest degree of fairness, which is something that many film companies lack.
It’s not that they don’t want to learn from DreamWorks, but they don’t have the financial resources.
The film industry is inherently risky. Without the massive financial support from Fang Hexuan, the richest man in China, and his bird's-eye view, DreamWorks would never be what it is today.
In a word, DreamWorks is now the most powerful film company in Hong Kong with the best reputation in the industry, and it has no rivals at all.
President Liu Tianci has a high status in the Hong Kong film industry thanks to the big tree of DreamWorks, but he is a person with a strong sense of crisis.
Born in hardship and die in comfort. Since the film business has already dominated Hong Kong, he wondered if he could expand the boundaries of DreamWorks' business.
After much thought and reading a lot of information, he noticed the rise of comics in Japan and the emerging trend of the local comics industry, and decided to give a suggestion to the big boss.
Fang Hexuan definitely wants to enter the comics industry. His "Transformers" has already begun serialization in the United States, and even the multi-episode cartoon in cooperation with Hasbro is almost completed.
Not to mention, he’s already had his eyes on Marvel Comics.
Although these ideas and actions have not been told to the executives of its subsidiaries, since someone has brought it up, Fang Hexuan has to carefully consider whether to plan the comics business in advance.
Although comics are just simple illustrated stories, they connect many industries.
For example, movies, toys, peripheral derivatives, novels, amusement parks, etc. are all treasures that can be slowly excavated.
Think about the Japanese comics that have become popular all over the world in later generations, such as "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Naruto: The Hidden Ninja", etc. They are simply a series of money-printing machines that never stop.
