Chapter 438: Taking Over Eternal Splendor Film Studio

No one understood Yang Qing's inexplicable insistence; in this barbaric era, his insistence was like sending money out.

Yang Qing didn't explain further to Tian Guoli; moreover, Tian Guoli was only acting as a caretaker of the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange.

Tian Guoli's main business was still Da Song Bank, namely the Black Tortoise Investment Bank; after Yang Qing finishes his affairs, he also needs to find a suitable person to take charge.

For now, Tian Guoli is more suited to Da Song Bank; he is somewhat conservative, and for many things, if Yang Qing doesn't say, he won't do them.

Perhaps his previous unemployment gave him too much pressure, cultivating a habit of not daring to take risks.

However, this is not bad; it's good for the bank to be a bit conservative.

The milk company is managed by Wang Lin; Yang Qing has nothing to worry about, as Wang Lin is very professional in this regard.

After finishing matters here, Yang Qing will go to the Eternal Splendor Film Studio to handle the film company's affairs.

The Eternal Splendor Film Studio is on Kowloon Boundary Street, not far from Shaw; in other words, most film industry companies are located in this area.

Even the well-known Broadcast Road is in this area.

Hu Lianxi accompanied Yang Qing; he came to take over Eternal Splendor.

The people at Eternal Splendor have been uneasy these past two months, because the boss never came to attend to them.

If Hu Lianxi hadn't told them, the currently bustling Yang Qing would be their new boss, and many would likely have already fled.

Hu Lianxi made good arrangements; upon entering the factory, Yang Qing saw a group of people coming to greet him.

The women were beautiful, the men handsome; they were all actors.

Moreover, a conspicuous fat man was Wang Tianlin; beside him were several directors whom Yang Qing did not know.

At the front of the crowd was a person whom Yang Qing found very familiar.

Before Yang Qing could recall, cheers erupted.

"Welcome back, General Manager Yang; hello, General Manager Yang."

Yang Qing walked over with a smile.

The leader was that somewhat familiar person.

Hu Lianxi introduced.

"General Manager Yang, this is Chen Ziqiang, Manager Chen, former deputy manager of Cathay Pacific Films; the previous manager followed General Manager Zhu away, and now he is temporarily acting as manager."

Chen Ziqiang?

Isn't he the top manager on Gangdao?

Yang Qing realized it was him; he didn't expect him to be at Cathay now. (In 1968, it's unknown whether he was at Cathay; not checked, but for the plot he is there.)

Yang Qing grasped his hand solemnly.

"From now on you will be the manager of Eternal Splendor; work hard, as long as you do well, I won't stint on money or shares—you can ask General Manager Hu; the heads of all my companies have equity."

"Every one of our employees is a shareholder; we hope you work for yourselves, not just for me."

Chen Ziqiang didn't want to handle film distribution, so he stayed at Eternal Splendor; he didn't expect the new boss to be so generous.

Damn, this is too generous—giving shares like that? He was overexcited.

He hasn't yet become the top manager, so he remains humble.

"Thank you, thank you, General Manager Yang; I will certainly strive."

Yang Qing patted his shoulder seriously and said.

"I trust you."

Believe me? He felt moved to tears.

This trust made him feel warm inside, yet also a bit heavy.

He had never encountered such a good boss; he must work hard for him.

After encouraging Chen Ziqiang, Yang Qing shouted to the others.

"You too; I hope you all treat this place as home, strive for yourselves, without life's pressures, and freely unleash your talents."

"You will also receive share incentives; the specifics will be filled in after General Manager Hu establishes a framework, but rest assured, benefits will not be lacking."

Yang Qing's words excited the remaining people.

Many of them were just earning a basic wage, especially with Shaw as a benchmark; their pay was only slightly above that of ordinary workers.

Although Yang Qing might be seen as making empty promises, at least he gave you a pie—Shaw doesn't even give you that.

"Long live General Manager Yang, long live General Manager Yang."

Yang Qing waved his hand and approached Wang Tianlin.

Yang Qing was very courteous.

"Uncle Tianlin, I have long admired you."

Wang Tianlin hadn't expected Yang Qing to be so courteous, and replied humbly.

"General Manager Yang, you're too courteous; just call me Wang Tianlin—I don't deserve the title 'uncle'."

Yang Qing took his hand.

"Uncle Tianlin, you are an elder; it's only proper."

"I have just taken over Eternal Splendor and still need your support."

Wang Tianlin chuckled lightly and said.

"General Manager Yang is so popular—who wouldn't support him?"

"As long as there is funding, I can make films for you."

Yang Qing exclaimed delightedly.

"Uncle Tianlin, after I introduce everyone, you and Manager Chen come over; we'll hold a meeting to discuss filming matters."

"Funding is not a problem."

Wang Tianlin said happily.

"This is good, this is good."

"Only with a film to shoot can we make money."

"Afterward Yang Qing greeted everyone one by one, and when he saw Leti, he noticed her complexion was poor."

"Leti Sis, why is your complexion so bad?"

"Leti touched her own face and said in a panic."

"Is it really bad?"

"Yang Qing nodded."

"Yang Qing then looked at the others."

"Seeing that many people's complexions were not good, it seems these past two months have been a bit too harsh."

"Yang Qing looked toward Hu Lianxi."

"Manager Hu, please help, arrange a hospital for everyone to get a physical check-up."

"Treat the sick, prevent the healthy, the company will reimburse."

"This is easy for Hu Lianxi."

"The company has a bus; I'll contact the hospital shortly and then go."

"Yang Qing nodded."

"The people present were again won over by Yang Qing's generosity."

"Manager, director, screenwriter, let's hold a meeting today; can you go for check-ups tomorrow?"

"Yang Qing turned back again to ask Chen Ziqiang and the others."

"Chen Ziqiang, Wang Tianlin, and the others had no objections."

"It's only right, Manager Yang; I thank Manager Yang on their behalf for your concern."

"Yang Qing smiled faintly, not minding, and clapped his hands."

"Alright, those who need to go to the hospital go; Manager Chen, Uncle Tianlin, let's go to the meeting room—I want to discuss future plans with everyone."

"Chen Ziqiang, Wang Tianlin, and the others accompanied Yang Qing to the meeting room."

"Hu Lianxi then led a group to get examined."

"They arrived at the meeting room."

"After everyone had seated themselves, Yang Qing finally spoke."

"By rights, on the first day we shouldn't talk about work, but Manager Hu told me everyone now wants to get into work mode quickly."

"Such enthusiasm, I cannot disappoint; I can only give you more time off later."

"Yang Qing's words lightened the atmosphere considerably."

"Chen Ziqiang was the first to voice his opinion."

"Manager Yang, just tell us what to do; we will give it our all."

"The others also chimed in agreement."

"Yang Qing shook his head."

"No, it shouldn't be me saying what to do."

"You are all professionals; it should be you deciding what to do, and we will plan the resources."

"I'll also mention my needs; I might be unprofessional, so please don't laugh at me—help me."

"Nobody expected Yang Qing to be so easygoing, letting them take the initiative."
