Growth-type Super Rich

After Gu Bai returned to Shanghai, the massive Black Swan Group was like a large, precise machine that had been input with a command, starting a tight operation.

To all the executives and ordinary employees of Black Swan Group, although Gu Bai rarely handled company affairs, he was definitely the soul of the group. Black Swan could do without anyone, but it could not do without Gu Bai, as too many projects of the group were waiting for Gu Bai to allocate funds.

In the Chairman's office, Gu Bai was signing many documents one by one that needed his signature.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking came, and without raising his head, Gu Bai responded directly: "Come in."

Then a series of high heels sounded, and Gu Bai slowly raised his head. Seeing the visitor, he chuckled: "You're quite good at timing. As soon as the executive meeting of the group finished, you returned."

Xiao Qiang heard this and smoothed the stray hair by her ear, giving Gu Bai a bright smile: "I'm not timing it; it's just that I have perfectly completed the tasks you assigned me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai raised his eyebrows, half-skeptical: "So fast?"

"Of course, take a look for yourself."

After saying this, Xiao Qiang handed over a stack of documents, then sat in the chair opposite Gu Bai, her legs together, smoothing out the wrinkles on her professional attire.

Xiao Qiang originally had a beauty rating above 90, but her capabilities were so strong that others overlooked her looks. Today, Xiao Qiang wore a pure black professional suit with only light makeup on her face, her long and slender legs wrapped in black trousers, leaving only her fair ankles exposed.

Although Xiao Qiang was very enticing, Gu Bai had seen too many, so he was not moved, merely giving a glance before returning his attention to the documents.

"Proof of Registration for the Overseas Promotion Film Project (Divine Tomb)."

Several large black words appeared on the document, followed by complex clause certifications and red seals.

Gu Bai glanced over it slightly, then pushed the document aside, smiling: "You're quite efficient, aren't you?"

The project registration fund for "Divine Tomb" was 2 billion, not including subsequent additions. Since the beginning, the project intended to expand the market globally, so the procedures were fraught with hurdles.

Moreover, the investment in "Divine Tomb" was extremely huge, unprecedented in the history of Hua Country's film industry, not even reaching half. A few years ago, a movie directed by Old Mouzi, "Great Wall," was considered the highest investment in Hua Country's films, with a whopping 900 million, but it flopped badly, losing as much as 500 million on paper.

For such a massive investment film, it's generally reviewed by various departments. After all, incidents of money laundering under the guise of filmmaking are not uncommon in the film industry. Gu Bai had prepared for a few months of blockage, but unexpectedly, it took less than a month since he handed the task to Xiao Qiang for her to successfully complete the project registration.

Hearing Gu Bai's words, Xiao Qiang smiled shyly.

"Chairman Gu, no need to praise me. I knew you were the force behind this. When we first started reporting the project, we were stuck at the first hurdle for a whole week. But later, a dedicated review team contacted me. After confirming that 'Divine Tomb' was a film by our group, everything went smoothly, and the more than ten stages were completed in less than half a month."

After listening to Xiao Qiang, Gu Bai also understood the situation roughly.

Besides Elder Xun and Elder Tu, there must be other bigwigs helping as well, or this matter couldn't have gone so smoothly.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai was more determined to pursue charity thoroughly, not just for ideals and beliefs, but the hidden benefits were just unbelievably high.

"Also, Chairman Gu, there's another matter I plan to report to you."

"Speak."

"You told me to keep a close eye on Tangren Film and Television, remember?"

Gu Bai nodded: "I remember, what's going on?"

"Hu Ge's contract is up for renewal, and Tangren Film and Television intends to renew it. However, it seems there is a dispute over the contract terms, and they're currently at a stalemate."

Hearing this, Gu Bai became interested.

"Reliable?"

"It should be reliable. These words came from Hu Ge's manager. Although currently, Hu Ge's market value is very high, no other company has contacted him. After all, capitals have tried to poach Hu Ge over the years, but all have returned empty-handed, as Hu Ge and Tangren Film and Television's relationship goes beyond commercial interests, with too many human feelings involved."

Gu Bai lightly moved his fingers, habitually tapping on the table.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly asked: "During this time, serving as the General Manager of Black Swan Film and Television, you should have learned a lot, and have some understanding of the entertainment industry.

I want to hear your opinion."

"I think this might be Hu Ge's manager's negotiation tactic with Tangren. After all, Hu Ge's market value has risen sharply after a series of hit dramas like 'Langya List' and 'The Disguiser.' It's normal for contract terms to rise.

But now, as Tangren Film and Television is plagued internally and externally, it's probably unable to achieve Hu Ge's contractual terms. Moreover, it's clear to see that Tangren Film and Television is no longer helping Hu Ge but only hindering his development. If in this situation Hu Ge is still willing to stay tied to Tangren Film and Television's sinking ship, then I think he's not being sentimental, but just brainless."

Xiao Qiang has a relatively poor perception of celebrities and speaks directly, pointing out the key issues.
