Beyond the door is One Piece

Chapter 109 Company Development

Although it was Zhou Yi, Zhou Qiuyu and Zhou Kangkang who ate the Devil Fruit, after research, Zhou Qi still made Zhou Chuanxing the captain.

The deputy captain is Zhou Yupeng.

After all, management is more about IQ. This is not a martial arts world. The leader must be the strongest.

After the arrangements were made, we had a meal together in the factory cafeteria. When we had another meeting in the afternoon, there were two more people in the conference room.

Fu Yong and his secretary, Zhong Ke, were his apprentices at Huaweishi. Since they were too busy here, he called his apprentices over to help.

"Seven Kills..." Seeing the sign hanging at the door of the office, Fu Yong was a little confused and asked: "Dr. Zhou, what does this Seven Kills do?"

"To protect the company's business." Zhou Qi said with a smile: "Of course, I am only responsible for the overseas part. This is the captain Zhou Chuanxing. Just call me if you have anything to do in the future. This meeting is also a good time for them to familiarize themselves with the company's business. What will they save? I don’t even understand, so I made a joke.”

"Uh..." Fu Yong was speechless. He knew as soon as he heard his surname Zhou that he was a relative of Zhou Qi.

However, it is not a problem to use relatives. Which boss would not arrange for relatives to join the company?

The difference is that those without a structure will brainlessly place relatives in key positions, while those with a structure will let relatives gain experience from the bottom step by step.

Zhou Qi is quite qualified in this aspect. He only arranges his own people in finance and human resources, and the director of the pharmaceutical factory. The rest of his relatives are all cleaning, supermarket, and network administrators.

Network management obviously will not affect company operations.

Moreover, both the girl named Zhou from the HR department and the factory director named Zhou were both college graduates and did not have much experience, but they had good learning ability and were modest and eager to learn.

If you work for a long time, you will gradually become qualified.

"Hello, Captain Zhou!" Fu Yong shook hands with Zhou Chuanxing. What was his first impression? He had dark skin and firm eyes. He looked like a strong man at first glance.

And, I don’t know why, but I feel like this child is very confident.

Sitting down where Zhou Qigang was, Fu Yong spread out his work computer and said, "In the past three months, I have built the Ceres Research Institute and the Venus Research Institute. The person in charge of the Ceres Research Institute is named Li Taiyan. He is 66 years old this year. He was originally a professor at China Agricultural University and an academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He just retired last year and was originally going to be re-employed by Henan Agricultural University, but we paid more and the conditions were better."

Zhou Qi nodded. This big boss was not well-known to the outside world, but he was indeed an expert in agricultural breeding. He solved the problem of cabbage breeding, ended the history of Chinese cabbage needing to import seeds from abroad, and cultivated There are more than ten types of cabbage suitable for survival in various seasons, and research on cabbage's resistance to pests, diseases, and poisons has also reached the world's first-class level.

This big man has made many achievements and won many awards, including the first prize of the National Progress Invention Award, the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, etc.

He has only studied one kind of cabbage in his life, and Zhou Qi doesn't know if he can adapt to joining the Ceres Research Institute. However, the Tang Tao and various medicinal seeds from One Piece that Zhou Qi gave are ready-made, so he just asked him to find them in the Ceres Research Institute. There is only one method for large-scale cultivation on Earth, which should be too difficult.

"For Daystar Research Institute, I invited Academician Fang Qihua from West China Hospital and the scientific research team led by him. Academician Fang is 74 years old this year. He has worked for another 9 years after being reemployed, and now it is difficult to maintain his original work intensity. However, his scientific research team already has strong scientific research capabilities and has a reputation as an academician, which also allows us to recruit more relevant talents!"

Zhou Qi nodded: "You don't need to be suspicious of others. You can do it with confidence. I won't blame you for spending money randomly!"

"Uh..." Fu Yong nodded. He said that he did have concerns in this regard. After all, Zhou Qi's background was not high, so there would inevitably be problems with the structure.

But he didn't know how big the world was that Zhou Qi had seen. No matter how small the layout was, it was still enough.

"On Li Zicheng's side, the screenwriting work is still in progress and it is expected to take another 2 to 3 months."

"I remember there was a novel "Li Zicheng". Would it be faster to adapt it?" Zhou Qi asked.

"It is true that we copied it, but we don't have the copyright, so we can't copy the whole book completely!" Fu Yong said: "Fortunately, Li Zicheng is a historical figure, so just delete the original plot of the novel, and the rest is historical. The recorded story does not involve copyright issues.”

"Then why not buy the rights?"

"Can't buy it!" Fu Yong shook his head: "The writer Yao Xuegen had two sons and two daughters, but he did not leave a suicide note when he died, resulting in unclear copyright. One of the sons authorized the copyright of the novel without authorization, which resulted in dissatisfaction with the other children. , the lawsuit began, and it has continued until now, but there is still no clear result.”

"Uh..." This made people speechless.

"In fact, Xiying Group obtained the film and television adaptation rights as early as 2001, and planned to make Li Zicheng into a long-running TV series with about 100 episodes. However, due to legal issues, the authorization period has expired and the TV series has not started yet!" Fu Yong shook his head. Shaking his head: "If this thing hadn't happened, maybe a classic would have been born."

"That's really a pity!" Zhou Qi nodded: "But it's just right that this classic is left to us to create. By the way, is the screenwriting team reliable? I don't want to make something up without a bottom line. Or it’s about a peasant uprising, but the whole story is about love.”

"No way!" Fu Yong immediately shook his head: "We invited the screenwriter team of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and several great historical writers from several novel websites to serve as editors-in-chief. In addition, we also have the screenwriter team of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as consultants! "

"Then I'm really looking forward to the finished script!" Zhou Qidao.

After all, he used to write novels, so whether it is TV or movies, he prefers the writer-centered system.

Director, actor?

They are just tools to present the story.

Fu Yong is an engineer by training, and his philosophy is similar to that of Zhou Qi. The core product of science and technology is technology, and the core of film and television works is naturally the story.

Moreover, he is also a fan of historical dramas, so he naturally attaches great importance to the scripts of TV dramas.

"The fourth thing is the theater chain problem!" Fu Yong said: "Building a theater chain from scratch not only takes a long time, but also has many uncontrollable problems in the process, so I prefer to directly purchase ready-made theater chains. Affected by the epidemic in recent years, the global film and television industry has been in recession, and there are many companies selling theater chains."

"Purchase..." Zhou Qi shook his head: "The purchase requires retaining local employees. Can the control be guaranteed?"

"Even if a new theater chain is built, local employees will still be hired." Fu Yong said: "Foreign investment is an inevitable treaty."

"What I'm worried about is that some movie theaters that have been working in the local area for many years have already formed a fixed chain of interests. We are new entrants and don't understand anything. They deceive us and steal some box office and other things from us. I don’t know..." Zhou Qi said.

"This problem can be solved through technology, such as developing ticketing software like Maoyan and taking the cost directly back to the company!" Fu Yong said: "We can cooperate with domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and let them pre-install us on their mobile phones. Ticketing software, the premise is that our theater chain must be large in scale!”

Zhou Qi nodded and received a list of theaters on sale.

As long as it was a peaceful time, theater chains were a sure-fire moneymaker. No one would be stupid enough to sell them. Even if they were sold, it would not be their turn to buy them.

It is because of the special situation in the past few years that we have the opportunity to enter this industry.

“They are sold everywhere in Southeast Asia, Central Europe, Western Europe, North America, and South America!”

"I suggest that we start with Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia has been influenced by Chinese culture for a long time. Our domestic movies and TV series have always had good results here. If we acquire theaters here, as long as there are high-quality movies, we will soon be able to Then you can enter a profitable state.”

Zhou Qi shook his head: "No, we will start from North America. Cinemas and TV stations will have to buy it! If we go to North America from a poor place like Southeast Asia, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will see that we are rich and kill him!"

"But starting from North America, if even North America can stand firm, how can the forces in other places dare to mess with me?"

"But how can North America stand firm?" Fu Yong shook his head: "North America seems to be free and open, but that is just external propaganda. In fact, their cultural control is quite strict. The precedent of Douyin is just ahead. This is just a short video with no obvious cultural output effect. If we want to get involved in the field of film and television, it will only be more difficult!"

"To put it bluntly, if we send someone over to discuss the acquisition today, tomorrow the acquirer may shoot himself eight times in his home and die!"

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Zhou Qi was stunned: "I remember that Wanda bought an American theater chain company for 31 billion U.S. dollars. That company has more than 600 theaters and a screen worth 8000 yuan!"

"Can the theater chain we buy be the same as the theater chain they buy?" Fu Yong asked: "Do you think they will add more filming for our movies?"

"Um..." Zhou Qi understood that they were fundamentally different from Wanda. Wanda did it to make money, while Zhou Qi did it to release his own movies in the future.

He wants to experiment with the cultural output effect on Earth first, and then get it to be broadcast in other worlds. The United States can only tolerate capitalists, but not people like him.

"In this case, we must start from North America!" Zhou Qi slapped the table: "As long as you clear this difficult mode, can you just push it across other places? Before they can react, finalize the matter first. Who will think about it later? If he causes trouble, I will send him to see God!”

"But we don't have enough funds..." Fu Yong said: "This smallest Andrew Film and Television Company has 220 theaters and 3000 screens. It needs at least 15 billion US dollars to get it!"

"It's not a big problem!" Zhou Qidao: "You can form a team first. When you finalize the contract, the funds will naturally arrive!"

"In that case..." Fu Yong nodded. Although he still disagreed, since the boss was determined, he could only work hard to get things done.
