Growth-type Super Rich

"Do you think we have a chance to bring him over to our side?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Gu Bai finished speaking, Xiao Qiang immediately responded, her tone firm and decisive!

"Oh? Tell me more."

"Male artists are different from female artists. At thirty-five, Hu Ge is at the peak of his career. At his age, he has a wide range of roles to choose from, and many roles suit him quite well. I don't think he really wants to cling to the old 'Immortal Sword' series and live off it forever, right?

We can see from his active effort to break through by starring in 'Gathering at the Southern Station' that Hu Ge definitely has ambition. This ambition is why I'm so sure we can headhunt him to Black Swan Film and Television!

Since Tangren Film and Television's failed listing, they've become precarious; calling them aged would not be an exaggeration. But we at Black Swan Film and Television are different. We are not only young but also have massive capital! Most importantly, Chairman Gu, you're willing to invest. It's fair to say, as long as you're here, there's no one in the entertainment industry we can't poach, it's just whether you want to or not!

Moreover, if we want Black Swan Film and Television to grow, we do need a few top-tier artists for support. Although Zhang Ruoyun from 'Fuyao' was good, he still falls short of Hu Ge in terms of popularity and overall capability."

Hearing Xiao Qiang's analysis, Gu Bai smiled with satisfaction.

A professional manager from the financial investment sector, Gu Bai placed her in the entertainment industry, and within two to three months she could adjust her mindset and handle the job well; this was impressive.

"But I've heard that Hu Ge is a shareholder of Tangren Film and Television. Will that affect our ability to poach him?"

"I'm aware of that, but he only owns 0.76% of the shares. It's negligible and won't have much impact."

"Then contact him for me, I'll speak to him personally."

Hearing Gu Bai's words, Xiao Qiang was a bit surprised, "Chairman Gu, while Hu Ge is valuable, you don't need to personally talk to him, do you? After all, he's just a celebrity..."

Gu Bai, understanding Xiao Qiang's disinterest in celebrities, smiled and replied, "If I don't show how much we value him, how can we possibly win him over?

You see, your thoughts are too extreme. I understand your disdain for celebrities, but we must be mindful of influence in the future. We are in business, and the goal is to make the most money at the lowest cost. If you treat them well, they will work more diligently to make money for us."

Xiao Qiang has been with the group since Black Swan's inception and has been diligent and reliable, holding a significant position in Gu Bai's eyes, unlike some signed celebrities who can't compare to her at all.

"I understand, Chairman Gu."

"Alright, you can get busy. Also, prepare the PR team, casually let news about 'Divine Tomb' slip out as hype. We have several investment films being released, so we can ride this wave to earn a bit more."

Xiao Qiang took Gu Bai's instructions to heart and nodded before leaving.

After Xiao Qiang left, it wasn't long before a research robot, waiting and unused, was brought into the office by Yi Jiahui.

Unlike the other robots, these three had distinct differences. The stark difference was in their appearances; regardless of whether it was Gu Yi, the guard robot, or Gu Xin, the business robot, they both looked very young, but the form of these three robots was middle-aged, and one even showed signs of aging.

After bringing the three into the office, Yi Jiahui closed the door and left.

Even though there were no outsiders in the office, Gu Bai didn't treat them as robots. No matter how you looked at it, in Gu Bai's eyes, they were just like normal humans, with virtually no difference. After all, these so-called high-intelligence robots, besides having different structures from humans, already had their own emotional consciousness.

Gu Bai then directly addressed Gu Wen, Gu Xiu, and Gu Ming, "Have you rested enough during this time?"

Among them, the one who appeared the oldest, Gu Wen, replied, "We've rested enough. Whatever tasks you have, just let us know."

Gu Bai didn't waste words and directly handed them each a file.

"These documents pertain to the current highest standards of new energy vehicles. Share your thoughts."

The three merely glanced at the documents before putting them back on the desk. Gu Wen, as the representative, said to Gu Bai, "Chairman Gu, all high-tech knowledge is stored in our chips. We understand these materials and can develop them as soon as you say the word."

"Oh?"

Facing Gu Bai's inquiry, Gu Wen promptly replied, "Currently, most of the new energy vehicle batteries in the market are either ternary lithium batteries or lithium iron phosphate batteries. There are two main factors affecting the lifespan of these batteries: the number of charging cycles and the charging duration.

Under ideal conditions, new energy vehicle batteries available in the market can achieve 1000-2000 charging cycles, maintaining about 70% of usable capacity. Typically, a single charge cycle permits a range of about 50-80 kilometers, so before the battery is discarded, it can allow for about 100,000 kilometers of pure electric driving. However, no matter what, PHEV batteries have small capacities and shorter lifespans. Thus, the theoretical useful life of PHEV private cars is typically 5-10 years at most.

So, Chairman Gu, we can focus on battery development rather than sticking to the new energy vehicle industry!"
