Chapter 1096 Billionaire
Chu Lingyun was walking in front. Zheng Guangtao had just reported the general situation, and Yu Huaqiang was giving a detailed report at this time.
The main thing is how many workers there are here, what the production capacity is, etc.
The factory of the Inspection Office is not big, but it has good performance. It now has more than a hundred workers, but not many management staff, only a dozen or so.
After visiting the factory in the inspection room, Chu Lingyun went to the one he invested in.
His investment was bigger and the products he produced were more advanced, so Yu Huaqiang was a little worried as he led the way.
There are their comrades in this factory who are learning technology and will go back after they finish their studies.
He was worried that Chu Lingyun would notice something unusual.
"The factory's orders are now scheduled for three months later. The quality of the tractor tracks we produce is very good. If there is enough raw material, we can set up another production line."
Yu Huaqiang reported quietly that the quality of the tracks they produced was indeed good, but the raw materials had always been in short supply.
In the post-war years, all regions were developing and there was a great demand for steel all over the world, especially in Southeast Asia, where steel was needed everywhere.
"I will find a way to deal with the raw materials. The new production line can be prepared now."
Since there is a market and production capacity, there is no need to wait and add production lines as soon as possible.
As for the raw materials, he had a way to get them, and the quantity they needed was not particularly large.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Yu Huaqiang responded that as the number of production lines increased, the two comrades who came to study could start their learning from the installation of the production line, and after they finished their studies, they could go back and teach more people.
The country also needs construction. There is no important intelligence to collect now, but Yu Huaqiang is still very happy to be able to help the country in construction.
After inspecting the factory, Chu Lingyun praised Zheng Guangtao and Yu Huaqiang.
They both did a really good job.
After receiving the praise, Zheng Guangtao was as happy as a child and went home happily.
Chu Lingyun also spent this year's Spring Festival in the United States.
During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he did not spend the New Year with his parents. Now that he has time, he will make up for it.
This year is very important for Chu Yuanchen and his wife.
After the Chinese New Year, they officially retired.
The principal Chu Lingyun found is very capable and has modern management skills. The couple are indeed not young anymore and now have a grandchild. As long as the school runs stably and the children can go to school, they are willing to delegate power.
Chu Yuanchen himself is not a power-hungry person, he only cares about his children.
"Uncle Chu, Happy New Year, do you have a red envelope?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Loach and Lily brought their children to pay New Year's greetings. The one who spoke was their youngest son, who has grown up now. Like his parents, he likes money and asks for red envelopes.
"Of course."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, taking out the red envelope he had prepared in advance. Since they were in the United States, the red envelope naturally contained US dollars.
Chu Lingyun is a billionaire, and his red envelope is not shabby, just one thousand dollars.
Every child has one.
"Thank you, Uncle Chu."
After receiving the red envelope, the loach child was very happy. He jumped and skipped to find Chu Yuan's child to play. His sister was the oldest and had already entered primary school.
"Team leader, the TV factory is developing very well now. More and more people are starting to buy TVs. In the future, every household will have a TV."
Loach chatted with Chu Lingyun alone, mainly talking about business.
His TV factory is now the most popular business and the most profitable industry.
Chu Lingyun also said that the number of televisions in the United States has now reached nearly 30 million, and nearly 50% of households own a television.
As the number of television sets increased, the number of television stations followed suit.
Niu Qiu also set up a small TV station and rented the signal tower of Chu Lingyun TV Station. He did not pursue ratings, as long as he could make money.
His TV is mainly about selling things and advertising.
Many people hate such programs, so you can imagine the ratings.
But poor ratings do not mean no money. On the contrary, Loach's TV station can bring him nearly three million US dollars in profits every year, which is very considerable.
Only slightly worse than his TV factory.
Now, Niu Qiu earns more than 10 million yuan every year. It won’t be long before he becomes a real billionaire.
"You are right. The TV industry is booming. We should seize this opportunity and make more money."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. It is indeed easier to make money in industries that are popular, and it is the same in any era.
In the past year, Chu Lingyun's various industries have also been doing well.
As the number of viewers increased, the TV station's profits also increased, bringing him $500 million in revenue a year. Today, the valuation of his TV station has reached $5 billion.
When every household has a television, the valuation of TV stations will increase further and may even exceed 10 billion US dollars.
Chu Lingyun's personal assets have already exceeded 10 billion this year.
The TV station is worth nearly 5 billion. Last year, the pharmaceutical company launched several popular drugs with extremely good sales. Together with the various drugs it developed before, the pharmaceutical company is now worth more than 6 billion.
Higher than a TV station.
In addition, the pharmaceutical factory also made a lot of profit, slightly less than the TV station, and brought Chu Lingyun $450 million in revenue last year.
Including the Chu Company, Chu Lingyun earned more than $1 billion last year.
The valuation of Chu's company is about 2 billion, and Chu Lingyun's total assets have reached 13 billion.
With more than 10 billion in the 1950s, Chu Lingyun can now be said to be a real tycoon in the United States.
He supports a political party, and with so many people supporting him openly and secretly, even if he can't walk all over the United States, at least there are few people who dare to provoke him.
And film companies.
The film company became very popular because of Roman Holiday, and they made several more movies afterwards, and Benedetto became their favorite leading lady.
Movies with Ben Hudson in them never did too badly at the box office.
Although the profit is not much, at least it is profit and not loss.
This year the film company plans to release ten new films on its own, and collaborate with other film companies to release an additional twenty films.
The plan for the whole year is thirty films.
Most of them are small-investment productions, but Chu Lingyun has already planned to make a big-budget science fiction film, which will be a hit by then.
As for popularity and box office, he was not worried, as later generations have verified that this series of movies is very good and very profitable.
As for special effects, even though current computer technology is not advanced, we can still produce special effects that are indistinguishable from real ones.
Moreover, when that series was filmed later, there were also no computer special effects, but they still did a great job.
This series of movies will be Chu Lingyun's main development direction in the future. After production, his film company will be able to gain a firm foothold and be on par with other major film companies in the future.
After a year of running-in, the film company has accumulated a lot of experience.
For this series, Chu Lingyun will also bring Niu Qiu and Shen Hanwen to work together, giving them another opportunity to make money.
Chu Lingyun has always been generous to his own people, especially Shen Hanwen, who made a lot of money last year by working with Niu Qiu to make televisions.
He has no business acumen, he just invests money and makes money without doing anything.
Among the few people, Shen Hanwen has the easiest job. Chu Yuan also has to help his wife manage the pharmaceutical factory, so he is very busy on weekdays.
"Team leader, I plan to open another branch factory and build two more shopping TV stations. Do you think it's okay?"
Loach asked Chu Lingyun, the shopping TV station was the suggestion made by Chu Lingyun to him. Chu Lingyun runs a regular large TV station, so it is not convenient for him to do this, but Loach can do it.
As long as the goods sold are not fake, no one cares now.
TV shopping at this time was like live streaming shopping in later generations. It changed the way of shopping. People could see what they wanted to buy on TV, then transfer money to place an order and buy it directly home.
"Sure, if you want to do it, do it as soon as possible. I estimate that the TV market will be saturated in a few years. But don't worry, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places will need TVs in the future. South American countries will also develop TVs. TV manufacturers will not be short of orders in the next 20 years."
Twenty years is a conservative estimate. Twenty years later, better and newer televisions will come out, and they will have to replace them then.
In this way, there will be no problem for the TV factory to survive for another forty or fifty years.
In fact, as long as it is done well and can continue to exist, and when there is Internet TV in the future, it will be completely fine for Niuqiu to open a branch factory.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
The team leader agreed, and Loach's heart immediately calmed down. Now he really had no interest in what was happening in Taipei.
The era of fighting and killing is over, and now he only thinks about making money.
The team leader is a multi-billionaire, so he must at least become a multi-billionaire so as not to bring shame to the team leader.
In fact, Niu Qiu still underestimated himself. If the TV factory can be successfully built and expanded, he will have the opportunity to become a billionaire, or even higher.
By then, there will be a place for loaches in the circle of wealthy Americans.
There is also Shen Hanwen, who will win without doing anything and will also be able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.
Regardless of anything else, as long as he keeps following Niu's lead in making televisions, and they do a good job in making them bigger in the future, maybe the two of them can start a big electrical appliance company.
If they can produce televisions, they will be able to produce washing machines, air conditioners, VCRs, etc. in the future.
Loach left happily and took Lily with him to investigate the site to see where the new factory would be built.
This time, Shen Hanwen was also brought along to let him invest. Shen Hanwen owns 20% of the shares in the new factory.
Chu Lingyun brought Liu Shukui to the film company.
"Call everyone to a meeting."
Chu Lingyun gave the order, and Liu Shukui immediately summoned all the management of the film company into the conference room.
"You guys worked well together last year and made some great science fiction films. This year we are going to launch a big project with an initial estimated investment of 10 million US dollars."
Chu Lingyun dropped a bombshell right away. The most expensive movie they had produced before was Roman Holiday, which cost only two million US dollars.
The rest are mostly around one million.
Last year, among the several films produced by the film company, only Roman Holiday had the highest box office, and the rest did not exceed 10 million.
Most of them are six or seven million.
I didn’t lose money, but I didn’t make much either.
Some other film companies jokingly call themselves low-budget production workshops.
"Ten million, so high?"
It is now 55 years ago, and the purchasing power of million US dollars is very strong. Chu Lingyun has no idea how much the production cost of that movie will be in the future, but million can produce what he wants.
"Yes, it's ten million. This is a science fiction movie. You can start collecting scripts now. The story is mainly about the Galactic Empire..."
Chu Lingyun talked about some of the things that were remembered by later generations, and everyone was stunned. No wonder the investment was so huge, it turned out to be such a grand movie.
Many people are very excited and are waiting for this movie to come out. Who will dare to say that they are a small workshop in the future?
Everyone remembered it very clearly. Chu Lingyun was going to shoot Star Wars, a movie that was not officially released until the late 1970s, which is more than 20 years from now.
It's a bit early now, but it doesn't matter. They already have the technology that was available in the 1970s. If they really can't do it, they can find a way to replace it with something else.
As for the director and screenwriter, they definitely cannot be the same as the original ones.
In fact, as long as the story content is the same, just find a well-known director to shoot it. Most directors are not too bad and can make a good movie.
The meeting ended quickly, and everyone in the film company was excited when they knew they were going to work on a big project.
Only with big-budget movies can they truly compete with those famous Hollywood film companies. If they make a few more big-budget movies in the future, as long as they are successful, they will be among the top film companies.
As for funding, they have no worries at all. It’s different having a big boss behind them.
Their boss is rich and willing to invest, so there is no need to worry about money.
For this movie, Chu Lingyun gave 15% of the investment to Niu Qiu and Shen Hanwen respectively, totaling 3 million. When Niu Qiu knew that his team leader was going to star in a big movie, he transferred the money without saying a word.
The last movie made them a lot of money, and I believe they will make money again this time.
There is no possibility of failure in anything that the team leader does personally.
Loach has blind trust in Chu Lingyun.
The movie needs to collect scripts, and Chu Lingyun will personally review the scripts to see whose story is the same as what he remembers, and then he will choose whose script.
Directors are also recruited openly, and for big-budget films, some directors come to us on their own initiative.
The people in the film company provide various services. They now have rich experience, especially having shot several science fiction films before, and they know what to prepare.
Chu Lingyun has been in Hollywood these days, and he needs to finalize the script.
He is the only one who can decide the script.
Two months later, Chu Lingyun finally selected two scripts from among those written by numerous screenwriters and asked them to integrate them together. The stories they wrote best met Chu Lingyun's requirements and were basically the same as the plots of later generations.
Now that the script is finalized, we can officially start filming.
As for the director, he had already been doing preliminary preparations even before the script was selected. He would start selecting actors as soon as the script was finalized. Before the script was finalized, the director only planned a few unimportant roles.
The real leading actor should be chosen based on the script to see who is the most suitable.
Ben He did not act in this movie. Her image was mainly pure, which did not fit the movie. Besides, Chu Lingyun wanted to create a series, a brand.
This brand will be worth a lot of money in the future.
The entire Star Wars series will be worth billions of dollars in the future, and with the box office and money earned from derivative products, this series will be able to help Chu Lingyun earn at least billions of dollars in the future.
