I spent a week in the mainland in summer. In addition to meeting and visiting the leaders of Ling, leaders of various countries or their spokespersons, I also met with the managers of the branch of Tianxia Group in the mainland.

In the past year, due to the economic crisis in Hong Kong, the business of various companies in Hong Kong has not been easy to do, and even the business of Tianxia Group has been greatly affected.

Such as Tianxia Clothing, Tianxia Technology, Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Finance, etc., all of which have experienced a sharp decline in revenue due to the economic downturn, the decline in people's income and the sluggish consumption desire.

For example, in 1995, Tianxia Entertainment produced 23 movies, with a total box office of 560 million. But in 1996, with a total box office of 22 movies, with a total box office of only 320 million. Compared with previous years, it fell by nearly half.

However, the saints say that the blessings of misfortunes are based on, and the disasters of blessings are hidden!

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and there are disadvantages.

The Hong Kong economic crisis has instead accelerated the pace of the world group's migration to the mainland.

Two years ago, when Xia Tian decided to go to the mainland, there was still a lot of opposition from the Hong Kong General Corporation.

Because Hong Kong was one of the most prosperous modern cities in the world at that time, it was as famous as New York in the United States, Tokyo in Fuso, and Paris in France.

Even in Taipei, Taiwan, is considered to be in the countryside in Hong Kong people. It is said that the girls out there are all native and can be identified at a glance.

At that time, the mainland was naturally not to mention. Even the most prosperous capital, Yanjing, was very backward in the eyes of Hong Kong people.

Wang Jing once said that in 1993, the entire Yanjing capital was gray, regardless of the weather or people's clothes, and occasionally sandstorms. There were not even many decent places to buy things, except for the Friendship Store and Xiushui Street.

Under such circumstances, Hong Kong people who have long been accustomed to the prosperity of the city naturally do not want to go to the mainland to suffer. Just like people who are used to being in big cities, they would rather be an ant tribe than return to a small town in third- and fourth-tier cities.

But now, Hong Kong is in an economic crisis, and all walks of life are severely hit. The stock market, real estate market, futures market, foreign exchange market... have not performed well. The losses of each company, the losses of bankruptcy, the closing of the door, and the closing of the door, and almost none of them have good performance.

People's income has also declined, their assets have shrunk, and they have no jobs. They have been unemployed on a large scale. More than 20% of them have no fixed jobs, and nearly one adult has applied for relief.

What's even worse is that nearly 200,000 people have become negative assets and the debts they have been borne in their entire lives. Last year, more than 3,000 people committed suicide due to the economic crisis in Hong Kong, and news reports were reported almost every day.

From the front page headlines at the beginning, explosive news, to the little information that was the size of a palm, people are no longer surprised.

...

In comparison, although the mainland is backward, its pace of development is very fast.

Tianxia Technology, Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Food, Tianxia Clothing, Tianxia Hotel, Tianxia Logistics... The revenue of each branch is full of red.

The year-end dividends of Tianxia Technology alone reached 2 billion yuan last year. Ordinary employees received a bonus of one month’s salary, while scientific researchers received a bonus of half a year’s salary, and the company’s senior management even received a year-end bonus of one million.

Although the RMB is not an international currency and has a little problem with exchange, the million-dollar year-end bonus is still not small. Compared with the Hong Kong Corporation's performance decline, all year-end bonuses have been cancelled, which is undoubtedly much better.

Therefore, people who did not want to go to the mainland before could not help but be moved by the inspiration of money and career success. For a time, the number of people applying for transfer to the mainland increased significantly.

As the saying goes, people are united and the mountains of Tai move, let alone a company.

Against the backdrop of unity, the migration of the Tianxia Group to the mainland naturally reduced a lot of resistance.

At present, the headquarters of several major companies such as Tianxia Food, Tianxia Clothing, Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Logistics, Tianxia Technology, and Tianxia Publishing have been moved to the mainland. Moreover, the revenue contributed by the mainland accounts for an increasingly higher proportion of their revenue.

Especially for several companies such as Tianxia Food, Tianxia Logistics, Tianxia Publishing, etc., the mainland has contributed more than half of the revenue. After all, the size of more than one billion people is here.

I met with managers of each branch in the summer, not to listen to business reports of each company.

To be honest, although others have been in the United States for more than a year and have not come to the mainland, the information from each branch has been passed to him through the Internet, telephone, telegram, etc., and everything is under control.

The reason why he met these branch managers was actually to show concern for mainland companies and inspire their fighting spirit.

...

What Xia Tian cares about is the development of the mainland branch of Tianxia Entertainment.

"Mr. Xia, our company co-produced twelve TV series and three movies with Taiwan and Hong Kong companies last year." Branch manager Chen Wendong reported to Xia Tianhui, "The twelve TV series are three dramas, three dramas, four martial arts dramas, two Republic of China dramas and three mythological dramas. The three movies are all action films. One costume film and two modern films."

"We have six TV series independently filmed, one police and gangster drama, two ethical dramas, one rural drama, and one light comedy. There are twelve movies independently filmed, and the most popular one is "Say What to Say" directed by Zhang Yimou. In addition, "Enemy and Son" directed by Feng Xiaogang is also well-known." Chen Wendong introduced again.

Xia Tian nodded. He had read all these information before.

Feng Xiaogang was introduced to the Mainland Branch of Tianxia Entertainment by Zhao Baogang in 1995. He is a very capable person. After graduating from high school and joining the military, he worked hard to enter the cultural unit of the military region and was responsible for cultural propaganda. The movie "Youth" is his semi-autobiographical work.

After retiring from the army, he joined the Yanjing Urban Construction Development Federation and was responsible for cultural publicity. In the 1980s, the trade union was still very strong. Because they were all state-owned enterprises, with wealth and power, the trade union activities were exciting with the support of these enterprises.

After the 1990s, private-owned enterprises gradually became the mainstream, the performance of state-owned enterprises declined, and many enterprises were on the verge of bankruptcy, so their support for trade unions was naturally greatly reduced. Trade unions lost their resources and naturally could not engage in activities and could not attract young people, so they gradually withdrew from the stage.

In 1984, Feng Xiaogang served as an art assistant in the movie "The Tree of Life and Death" and officially entered the film industry. In 1985, he joined the Yanjing TV Art Center as an artist.

As mentioned earlier, Yanjing TV Art Center is China's first professional TV drama unit. It can be called the Shaolin Temple in the Chinese TV drama industry, and has produced countless capable people.
