In short, He Yuzhu felt that he really should go abroad.

Although the Plaza Accord was profitable, their initial investment was small, and they were afraid of being targeted by international financial giants, so they didn't invest much.

The money earned was far from enough to implement He Yuzhu's plan.

He had to find a way to make money quickly.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

He Yuzhu was unwilling to use his space to harm his compatriots, but he felt less guilty about harming foreigners.

Since it's not possible this year, He Yuzhu is thinking of going next year.

I haven't voiced this idea yet. I'll talk about it once I've finalized the plan.

After finalizing the New Year's benefits, He Yuzhu placed the items in the empty courtyard and then had them taken back to the restaurant.

He's the boss now, and nobody dares to ask where he got the stuff.

The hotel staff were even more motivated when they saw the benefits had been returned.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered the annual meetings of his company in his later years and decided to hold a simple annual meeting as well.

As for celebrities, we won't invite them. He can collaborate with the city's performing arts troupe.

Invite them to perform in the hotel lobby.

Lou Xiao'e was familiar with this, but she asked He Yuzhu, "Can you get someone to come?"

He Yuzhu can handle this small matter.

When it comes to organizing performances, BJ City Performance Company is absolutely professional.

The predecessor of BJ City Performance Company was BJ City Arts Enterprise Company, which was established in 1956.

In 1958, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture abolished the Beijing Municipal Arts Enterprise Company. The former Arts Enterprise Company's Theater Management Section was responsible for organizing performances for local troupes and theaters, as well as performances in other provinces. The Beijing Performing Arts Company was established in 1958.

In 1960, the BJ City Performing Arts Company was officially established.

After operating for eight years, it was abolished in 1968 and not reinstated until 1978.

Xu Damao went from the steel rolling mill to the movie theater and came under the jurisdiction of the BJ City Performing Arts Company.

When He Yuzhu was helping him with his connections, he met one of the leaders there.

Years have passed, and that leader has become the manager of one of the departments.

He even came to the restaurant to eat a while ago.

He Yuzhu had left his phone number at the time, and found it in the phone book.

"Director Tao, I am He Yuzhu."

The person on the other end of the phone quickly recognized He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Mr. He. Why are you calling me?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Our restaurant is planning to hold an annual meeting and invite some performers."

Could you help coordinate this?

The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback. The performance company had many performances, but this was the first time a restaurant had specifically asked them to hire performers.

"Mr. He is planning to invite those actors. As you know, it's almost the end of the year, and we have a heavy performance schedule. Some of the more famous actors simply don't have the time."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "They don't need to be too famous. As long as they can produce a few good shows, that's enough."

My plan is this: on the day before the Lunar New Year.

During the day, they would freely perform some shows in the lobby for the guests who came to eat.

In the evening, our restaurant will close for the day and hold its own annual meeting.

As for which programs to arrange, I would appreciate your help in making the final decision.

Tao Shuyu had some idea about He Yuzhu's background and knew that many leaders had a good relationship with He Yuzhu.

He didn't want to cause trouble with He Yuzhu over such a small matter, so he agreed for the time being.

The specifics will require me to come and discuss them with He Yuzhu in person.

He Yuzhu readily agreed and even prepared a private room for him.

Tao Shuyu arrived quickly, and He Yuzhu invited him to a private room for a detailed discussion.

After hearing He Yuzhu's idea, Tao Shuyu agreed: "I'm basically fine with it. It's just that the actors are hard to confirm for now."

I can only find people who don't have performance commitments.

He Yuzhu didn't insist on this: "This is our company's annual meeting, so there aren't such strict procedures."

Our initial plan is for five to eight performances. Participation is entirely voluntary. On the day of the annual meeting, our hotel will give out New Year's benefits to its employees, and all the performers will receive one as well.

Hearing that He Yuzhu was willing to provide New Year's benefits, Tao Shuyu felt even less troubled.

Their company wields considerable power, but their welfare benefits are only average.

As the business expands, some units make money while others don't.

The Cultural Affairs Bureau required them to conduct independent accounting and be responsible for their own profits and losses; those units that made money were to take care of those that did not.

Tao Shuyu said, "Okay, wait for my news. I'll give you a call tomorrow morning."

He Yuzhu saw him off and even had the restaurant's truck deliver a load of New Year's goods to him.

Lou Xiao'e said, "You're being too generous. Giving so many things just for one performance?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Am I the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"
I remember telling you about investing in movies; you must have made a lot of money.

He Yuzhu may not be familiar with much else about Hong Kong, but he is very familiar with those Hong Kong movie actors.

He has a very clear memory of which actors' movies are profitable.

After Lou Xiao'e returned, He Yuzhu suggested some movies that would make money.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care how He Yuzhu knew, and just followed He Yuzhu's instructions, invested some money, and made a lot of money.

"I really don't know where you got this information. Since you have such good taste, why don't we start a film company?"

He Yuzhu thought about it for a moment and felt that this was a good idea. Moreover, now was a very good opportunity.

He Yuzhu's favorite movie in his previous life was A Better Tomorrow.

He doesn't remember when it was filmed, but he knows it was released in August 1986.

It's only the end of 1985, there's still time.

"If you have any ideas, go find someone named John Woo as soon as possible."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was so special about this person.

"Who is he that you care so much about? When you start a film company, you need to find famous directors and actors."

What's the point of you looking for him?

He Yuzhu said irritably, "Those famous actors and directors all have companies behind them."

Can your newly established film company afford to offend them?

"Listen to me, asking him will be absolutely no problem."

He Yuzhu's predictions had come true too many times, and Lou Xiao'e had developed a blind trust in him.

Hearing He Yuzhu speak so confidently, she kept it in mind.

"Besides John Woo, are there any other people?"

He Yuzhu then recounted all the famous and box office hits of later generations.

Some have already become famous, while others are still playing minor roles.

He Yuzhu said, "Just remember these people. It would be best if you could sign them. If you can't, then invest in the movies they make."

There were too many names for Lou Xiao'e to remember, so she took out her notebook and wrote them down.

"Can you guarantee that all their movies will make money?"

He Yuzhu said, "How is that possible? No one can guarantee that everything will make money."

These people will be the backbone of Hong Kong's film industry in the future.

Even if you don't make money investing in them, you can still build a positive connection.

With the support of our Hong Kong team, we can go back to the mainland, where the entertainment industry is where we can really make money.

"I'll oversee the specific projects once your film company is established."

Lou Xiao'e said she understood.

He Yuzhu then remembered something else. Hong Kong movies have intricate connections with triads.

If you want to get involved, you really need some violence.

He Yuzhu doesn't intend to join the underworld, but he must have the power to deter those people.

He then considered asking his brother-in-law for some more retired soldiers. (End of Chapter)
