Chapter 351 Lots of Talents
The various jobs offered allow them to have multiple options while also earning enough salary!
At this time, Brother Piao, who had finished cleaning and returned to the main table, looked at the scene in front of him and felt fear in his heart.
If I had known that Wei Longhao had such a strong control over the society, I would not have dared to have any other thoughts even if I had beaten him to death.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine for sale in this world.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhutouxi subconsciously stood up straight, and the smile on his face became more humble, just like a pug trying to please his master.
At the same time, all the little thoughts in my mind disappeared without a trace in an instant.
With the precedent of Xipiao as a lesson, although the final outcome is still unknown, no one dares to challenge Weilonghao's means.
Many times, taking a wrong step can lead to a bottomless abyss!
Faced with warm applause, Lin Zehao stood up, adjusted his suit a little, and walked slowly towards the stage.
Every step is taken steadily and gracefully!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it walks like a dragon and a tiger!
As Lin Zehao walked up each step, the applause from the crowd became more and more enthusiastic!
It seemed that the roof would be lifted off in the next second!
If other clubs saw this scene, they would be shocked.
Because, compared with the lively thanksgiving ceremony of Hutchison, other societies are more like routine performances.
Basically, all the links are arranged in advance.
For the lower-class people, going to the scene is just to make up the numbers. Not only can they not eat enough, but they also get no benefits.
Getting a red envelope of one or two dollars is no different from giving alms to a beggar.
At Heji's thanksgiving ceremony, all those who have formally paid homage to the gods and whose names are recorded in the book will receive red envelopes ranging from a few hundred to thousands of yuan. Everyone will get a share and no one will be left out!
Although the money may not seem like much when distributed equally to each person, the entire Hutchison Whampoa, from top to bottom, has tens of thousands of dollars!
The base number is here, and anyone can do the math!
This expenditure alone is not a small amount!
If it were the leader of any other society, even if he had the financial resources, he wouldn't have the courage, let alone the intention!
When most people reach this position, they will no longer treat their subordinates as human beings.
Looking across Hong Kong Island, only Hutchison Whampoa can do this.
This is also the reason why the Hutchison Whampoa community is so cohesive.
When Lin Zehao walked onto the stage, the atmosphere in the entire venue reached its peak tonight!
The word "warm" has its most concrete expression at this moment.
When Lin Zehao took the microphone handed to him by Li Wenbin, without him making any movements, everyone present gradually quieted down. They just stood there obediently, with anticipation written all over their faces.
Even those who hold leadership positions in the regions remain the same.
The next second, Lin Zehao's magnetic voice rang out.
"Just now, Abin asked me to come up and say a few words. Actually, I don't know what I should say. There are many things I want to say, but I don't know where to start for the moment."
"Besides, I have always disliked so-called leaders standing on the stage, giving long, boring speeches, reading from a script, and even reading the written script wrong..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present burst into laughter, and their impression of the big boss Lin Zehao changed a lot.
Before, everyone just knew that Brother Hao was all-powerful and very law-abiding.
As for other statements, they all talk about how majestic Brother Hao is.
Looking back today, they feel that Brother Hao is a very easy-going person and does not have the airs of a big boss at all.
"The new year is about to begin. I don't have any requests for anyone. I just hope that everyone can be safe and sound, make more money and earn more."
"In addition, I would like to share a piece of good news with you in advance. We have already selected the location for the first phase of employee housing. If everything goes well, we can start construction next year."
“As for the rules for dividing the houses, we are still discussing it, but we will definitely guarantee three points!
"Fair, fair, it's damn fair!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned at first, and then burst into immense enthusiasm again!
"Long live Brother Hao!"
"Long live Brother Hao!"
No one knew who took the lead in shouting this sentence, but everyone followed suit and started shouting in unison!
Not only the entire Hutchison Restaurant, even the police officers standing guard outside heard this slogan.
It is enough to prove that the shouting is deafening!
Lin Zehao pressed his hands together and the sound gradually subsided.
He took the microphone and said, "I have finished my speech. It will be party time. There will be plenty of drinks."
“I hope every brother of Hutchison can have fun and be happy.”
After finishing speaking, Lin Zehao handed the microphone to Li Wenbin and slowly walked off the stage.
Everyone clapped their hands hard again and shouted in unison.
"Long live Brother Hao!"
"Long live Brother Hao!"
At this moment, even though everyone had thousands of words they wanted to say to the big boss Lin Zehao, they could only be summed up in these few words!
Li Wenbin took the microphone and wanted to say a few more words, but he did not have the same prestige as his own boss, which caused the scene to be restless. Even if he shouted loudly through the microphone, no one could hear him.
Seeing this, Li Wenbin decisively walked off the stage and entered today's song and dance performance segment.
When Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong walked onto the stage, the lights in the entire venue instantly dimmed, leaving only a few spotlights shining on the stage.
As the accompaniment sounded, everyone gradually danced to the rhythm, or focused their eyes on the stage.
The scene became quiet in an instant.
Zhang Guorong spoke first, his unique voice full of emotion.
[No~I don’t want to go back and miss you]
[To~The shadow is only me]
[Still here]
[Let’s go back to this karaoke bar to escape]
At this time, Tan Yonglin opened his mouth, and his unique, slightly hoarse voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
[Sadness is only a game]
【Forgotten in karaoke】
【Forget your words】
【Forget the past dreams of you and me】
[Forget the joys and sorrows between you and me in the past~]
In the chorus, Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin began to sing together, with the latter taking the lead and the former mainly responsible for the harmony.
A beautiful song that no one had ever experienced before resounded throughout the venue.
【No matter whether it is laughter or sadness】
【Karaoke is always OK】
【Sad to death】
[Karaoke is also OK]
【Sing out loud to express your feelings】
【Comfort yourself】
【Through ~ Song】
【Through ~ Record Player】
Lin Zehao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the two people in the center of the stage with his dark eyes, feeling a little dreamy.
If this scene of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong singing together on stage were to be seen in later generations, it would definitely be a blockbuster.
"Brother Hao, you really have a lot of talented people under you. The singing skills of these two people are not inferior to those of Sam Hui."
Zhutouxi spoke with a flattering look on his face, and anyone could see that he was trying to suck up to someone.
Hearing this, the tall guy on the side snorted coldly and said, "What do you think?"
"Brother Hao has always had a sharp eye. When it comes to talent, Hutchison Whampoa definitely has the most in Hong Kong Island!"
Until now, Gao Lao can still vaguely recall the scene when Lao Guisen and Dakoujiu went to sell salted duck eggs.
For him, who was the first and most direct among his uncles to kneel down, the reason why he can still enjoy his current life is that he knows how to adapt to the times and how to flatter Lin Zehao.
Now, Zhutouxi's flattering look made Gao Lao feel a sense of crisis, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
Zhutouxi was a little embarrassed, but as a latecomer, he didn't dare to get angry and could only pretend not to hear.
Lin Zehao glanced at the two of them, without saying anything, just smiled, holding a cigar between his fingers, with a calm and comfortable look on his face. Chen Guoqiang, Yang Chengrong, and Li Wenbin sat aside, drinking and chatting.
For Lin Zehao, this kind of occasion is not tiring, but rather a rare relaxation.
After all, as his status grew and his business grew, there were so many things that required him to make decisions every day.
At this time, Li Wenbin took out a thick document, handed it to Lin Zehao, and said, "Brother Hao, this is the detailed list of your property and company holdings that you asked me to sort out."
"Please take a look and see if I have missed anything."
As the White Paper Fan of the society, Li Wenbin is deeply trusted by Lin Zehao, although he is not like Chen Guoqiang and others, who are the decision-makers of a certain territory and do not even have a street.
However, no one in the entire community dared to underestimate him.
The reason is simple: Li Wenbin is not only in charge of the company's legal department, but also in charge of the financial department.
People who only look at the surface are afraid of the power in Li Wenbin's hands, but people who know how to see the essence see Lin Zehao's absolute trust in Li Wenbin.
Since ancient times, those who are in charge of financial power have always been the absolute confidants of those in power!
If it’s even a little bit worse, I won’t be able to take on the responsibility!
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Zehao said this, then took the document and began to check it.
The first is Hutchison Holdings, which is 100% controlled. As for its subsidiaries, the same is true for all of them, including but not limited to property, real estate, security, entertainment, construction, cement plants, etc.
After Hutchison Whampoa was delisted, he also cleared out many of the other small shareholders by various means. The only few left were those who knew how to judge the situation and could be retained for the time being.
In the Hutchison Correctional Services Company, which is far away from home, Lin Zehao holds 70% of the shares and is in an absolute controlling position.
The Correctional Services Corporation also owns two garment factories, a daily necessities factory, and a toy company.
After all, those prisoners are the cheapest labor force. If they are not utilized, it would be a waste of resources.
The ownership of the mines in Myanmar also belongs exclusively to Lin Zehao.
As for ATV, even its parent company was acquired by Lin Zehao, so it is naturally wholly owned.
Among them, Hutchison Jewellery owns 20% of Bao Yugang's shares, but he does not participate in decision-making.
In turn, Lin Zehao also owns 10% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, the core industry of the charter king.
As a manager, Lin Zehao almost never gives shares to his subordinates. He uses dividends and high salaries to motivate his subordinates.
As for the many gray incomes, Li Wenbin certainly would not make low-level mistakes and put them on paper.
And these industries that cannot be disclosed are the most important step for Lin Zehao to become rich!
Cash flow is continuously created through these industries.
Seeing Lin Zehao put down the documents in his hand, Li Wenbin stepped forward at the right time and said, "Brother Hao, I recently received news that Xinji also plans to imitate you and enter the film and television industry."
"I heard that they are now preparing to set up an entertainment company. Many of our artists have been poached by Xinji through middlemen."
“However, their so-called invitations were all rejected by our artists.”
Lin Zehao's expression remained the same, not showing any sign of surprise. He just nodded slightly and said, "I know, it was the tenth son of the Xiang family who proposed it. A child born to a concubine doesn't have much say."
"And Xiang Yan is not optimistic. He thinks the risk is too great and the money comes too slowly. After a few meetings, most people agree."
"Even if it can be implemented in the end, it will be the Xiang family who pays for it and just does it casually."
Li Wenbin couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do?"
Lin Zehao picked up a broad bean and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Even if Xinji sets up a film and television company, they should be the ones who should be nervous."
"This is not a monopoly industry. Anyone who wants to do it can do it. We can't stop it even if we want to."
"However, as industry veterans, we need to teach challengers what it means to respect teachers."
Hearing this, Li Wenbin nodded repeatedly, already having an idea in his mind.
Even if Xiang Yan tried his best, Xin Ji would still be suppressed by Hutchison Whampoa. What kind of trouble could a marginal child of the Xiang family cause?
Hutchison is holding a ceremony to thank the gods, and other companies under Lin Zehao's name are also holding annual meetings.
For workers who have been busy for a year, a lively annual meeting can be a good way to release their stress.
What's more, according to Lin Zehao, although the styles and forms of each company's annual meeting are different, without exception, they are all willing to spend money on paper.
Not only are there a variety of gifts and red envelopes, but the first prize is a Toyota Crown car.
Moreover, the artists under Hutchison Entertainment will be divided into different batches and perform in various companies.
This new annual meeting format is definitely groundbreaking in this era, and naturally caused a huge shock to the employees!
Not only is it novel, but it also has substantial benefits.
This naturally makes employees' sense of belonging to the company increase rapidly.
Hutchison Entertainment.
As a member of the company, Lin Qingxia naturally attended the annual meeting.
Although, Lin Zehao had clearly told her that if she didn't like the atmosphere, she didn't have to participate.
As his woman, I do have this privilege.
However, Lin Qingxia didn't want others to gossip about her behind her back, so she attended as usual.
After the annual meeting, several female celebrities who were close to each other walked out of the company and found a roadside stall to have a small gathering.
After all, female celebrities always eat very little in order to maintain their figure, so they get hungry quickly.
Moreover, at an occasion like an annual meeting, they couldn't eat and drink too much in front of everyone.
So it is normal to go out for dinner now.
Soon, Lin Qingxia and the other two arrived at a tea restaurant not far from the company.
Because this restaurant serves delicious food at a reasonable price, many Hutchison Entertainment employees and contracted artists like to eat here.
Over time, the owner of this store became familiar with many artists.
"Ah Xia, are you here for supper again?"
"Didn't I hear that your company is holding an annual meeting?"
"How about it? Are you not full?"
The boss is an old man in his sixties. Although his hair is gray, he looks energetic and works very skillfully.
The shop is not big. He is responsible for the production, while his wife is responsible for taking orders, serving food, cleaning the table and other chores. It is a typical husband-and-wife shop in Hong Kong Island.
"Uncle Xiang, I miss your craftsmanship..."
Lin Qingxia smiled and found a seat to sit down.
Xiang Bo smiled cheerfully and asked, "You three, how about two servings of dry fried beef noodles as usual?"
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Xiang."
Li Lizhen and Wen Bixia put down their bags and took the initiative to wash the dishes and pour tea.
Both of them were newly signed artists of Hutchison Entertainment, and their situations were very similar to that of Lam Ching-ha, who had just come to Hong Kong Island to develop her career. In addition, as the two of them were interested in promoting their relationship, they naturally became very close.
"Sister Xia, why didn't Mr. Lin come to the company today?"
"It's an annual meeting. I thought Mr. Lin would come to attend."
Li Lizhen poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Lin Qingxia. Her lively eyes were full of curiosity.
Wen Bixia, who was standing by, seemed to be wiping her hands with a napkin, but in fact her attention was also attracted by the news.
For the entire Hutchison Entertainment, Lin Zehao is undoubtedly the most important soul figure for female artists with ideas and ambitions.
No matter what method he used, as long as he gained Lin Zehao's favor, he would no longer have to struggle to gain experience. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he would soar to the sky.
Just like Lin Qingxia, as an artist from Taiwan, she was able to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong entertainment industry so quickly. Anyone with a discerning eye knows who she relied on.
"Brother Hao has other things to do. After all, he has too many companies under his control. Even if he wants to participate, he is too busy to attend."
Lin Qingxia explained once and that was it, without saying any more.
Li Lizhen did not continue to ask, and Wen Bixia finally wiped the water droplets off her hands.
Everyone's face looked normal.
While waiting for the food to be served, a few people started chatting.
Just at this moment, the door of the tea restaurant was pushed open and several men walked in.
Lin Qingxia looked up subconsciously, but her expression changed immediately.
"Qingxia, I called you so many times, why didn't you answer any of them?"
"Do you know that ever since you left the island, I've missed you more and more every day, and it's almost crushing me!"
