Xia Tian heard Tang Congsheng's report in the United States and learned that Zhang Wanyou had joined his command and was very satisfied.

Qi Wenjie first expressed his effectiveness, and then regretted leaving, which ruined his good mood.

"Okay, since he doesn't know the current affairs, it's up to him." Xia Tian nodded, "But when the Jade Dynasty goes bankrupt in the future, I will not give him a second chance."

In the Hong Kong comic market, he now accounts for more than 80% of the share. Even if Huang Yulang now establishes the Jade Dynasty, it will be difficult to compete with him.

According to the Matthew effect, the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker the more, the world comics will one day sweep the Hong Kong comics, and the Jade Dynasty will only have the fate of bankruptcy. By then, he will never give Huang Yulang and Qi Wenjie any chance.

"Mr. Xia, I remember." After hearing what Xia Tian said, Tang Congsheng immediately responded, "By the way, there is another good news to tell you that the police's search for Huang Yulang has ended, and he will be officially prosecuted next month. At that time, he will not only spit back the money he swallowed, but also face a prison disaster."

"Well, I'll suffer." Xia Tian nodded.

Huang Yulang embezzled the company's 20 million Hong Kong dollars assets, which is a serious crime. Now he is sanctioned by the law, which is also his guilt.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian returned to the ward.

I saw Wang Xiaoxian conducting rehabilitation activities under the guidance of the doctor.

Her broken ribs have grown again, but it will take three months to fully heal.

"Brother Tian~" Wang Qixian shouted sweetly when he saw him enter the room.

"How is it, how do you feel? Does it still hurt?" Xia Tian asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt at all, and the doctor said I'm recovering well." Wang Xiaoxian smiled happily, "I think I can apply for discharge in another week, and then I can go back to make a movie."

"Oh, my aunt, let's not joke. I dare not let you film again until your injury is completely healed. If you accidentally get hurt again, that's a big deal." Xia Tian quickly advised, "As the saying goes, it's a big deal. It's really not a joke to hurt for a hundred days."

"But the crew will be shut down for a day and it will cost a lot more money." Wang Qixian frowned and said worriedly.

Hollywood is different from Hong Kong. The staff of the Hong Kong crew are all employees of their own company in Xia Tian. It doesn’t matter if this crew stops shooting. They can be transferred to the next crew immediately, and there will basically be no waste of resources.

However, the employees of the Hollywood crew were hired by the production company one by one, and signed a work contract in advance, which stipulated work time limits, salary and so on. Even if the crew stopped working, they had to act according to the contract and paid their salary according to the contract.

If Wang Qixian rested for three months, the employee's salary alone would have to spend an additional $1 or 2 million.

"Money is indeed a good thing, but in my eyes, how can it be more important than your health?" Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Retreat with peace of mind. As long as you are healthy, it will be the greatest wealth for me."

After hearing what he said, Wang Qixian was immediately moved.

"By the way, when you can fly in another week, let's go back to Hong Kong first." Xia Tian said again, "The environment over there is more nourishing people and more helping you recuperate than here."

"Okay." Wang Qixian nodded with a smile. To be honest, she was really tired of eating food from the United States.

Even if she specially invited a three-star Michelin chef to cook food for her in summer, she would taste the same as chewing wax when she eats it. Compared to lamb chops, duck breasts, sea bass, foie gras, etc., she still missed Hong Kong shrimp dumplings, roasted wheat, and glutinous rice chicken more.

And after returning to Hong Kong, he can go back to the company to handle cooking affairs in the summer. He has been out for almost half a month this time, and he doesn’t know how much official business the company has accumulated, so he will handle it.

Although Xia Tian has been by her side these days, she feels very happy. But she is not the kind of woman who doesn't know the general and regrets her husband's search for a title, so she is willing to go back with Xia Tian.

...

After learning that Wang Xiaoxian's injury was not serious, Xia Tian finally let go of his heart and began to deal with some official duties.

"Mr. Xia, I have acquired Blockbuster." Michelle reported to Xia Tian.

In fact, Blockbuster had been acquired by her a week ago. However, at that time, because Wang Xiaoxian's injury always touched Xia Tian's heart, he was not in the mood to deal with business matters, so she never told him.

"Very good." Xia Tian nodded when he heard this.

Blockbuster is one of his important pawns in the United States. In the future, it will become the largest video leasing company in the United States and even the world. Its annual profit is more than $500 million, and it is a huge gold-sucking monster. Moreover, through Blockbuster, Hong Kong movies can be continuously input into the United States in the summer with the video styling situation.

It is very difficult to take the theater route for Hong Kong movies to land in the United States. Because Hong Kong movies are niche movies after all, and the distribution of fans is very sparse. If they are screened in theaters, they may not be satisfied with it. In this case, theater vendors naturally dare not take risks to screen.

In comparison, distributing videos is undoubtedly one of the very good ways. If you put these videos on the counter, fans who are interested in Hong Kong films will naturally rent these videos and take them back to watch.

"The next step is to quickly expand its scale. Michelle, I want Blockbuster to expand its stores to three thousand within three years." Xia Tian ordered Michelle.

Now Blockbuster has less than 300 stores. Within three years, it is indeed a big challenge to expand its scale ten times.

When Michelle heard this, she couldn't help but be frightened by Xia Tian's appetite.

"Mr. Xia, is it expanding too quickly?" she asked in surprise.

"No, the faster the expansion, the better." Xia Tian waved his hand.

As far as he knows, the golden period of videotapes will last for more than ten years. In another seven or eight years, it seems that DVD will appear. At that time, this new technology will gradually eliminate the videotapes. As the world's largest videotape rental manufacturer, Blockbuster will gradually become lonely because of this.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Blockbuster, and not much time left for summer. So ten thousand years is too long, so I have to seize the day.

"But it will cost a lot of money to expand three thousand stores," Michelle said again.

"We can use the franchise store method," Xia Tian advised, "In this way, we will not only not spend money, but we will also make a profit."

Of course, expanding the franchise store will easily lead to a big loss in the future. In the past life, Blockbuster did not succeed in the transformation because these franchise stores did not obey the orders and strongly obstructed the reforms implemented by the headquarters, which eventually led to its failure in its transformation and then went bankrupt.
