Harbor
City is the most open place in the Huaxia Federation, because the environment here is very superior, with the best deep-water port of this era, merchants from all directions gather here, bringing all kinds of culture.
And now the most lively place in Harbor City is the stock exchange. Although there are wars everywhere in the world, the stock market is even more lively. The stocks related to the war are ups and downs, and dozens of wealth myths can be created every day, and many people can also go bankrupt.
Lin Jiang watched the stock exchange for two days and completely gave up the opportunity to make money from it, because Lin Jiang saw that the water here was too deep. With his IQ, he would definitely lose everything if he went in. This has nothing to do with Lin Jiang's stock trading level. There are things that are terrifying in it. In
the blink of an eye, after two months of wandering in Harbor City, Lin Jiang has a better understanding of this era. This world is very different from Blue Star, because the geographical scope is much larger than Blue Star. For example, the countries of China are larger than the entire Blue Star before.
The war will not end in a short time, and the national strength of each participating country has not been exhausted. This is not what Lin Jiang said, but the consensus of the whole society.
After many twists and turns, Lin Jiang finally chose to invest in the film industry. This industry is also a new industry for China. It has only been around for a few decades. Sound films are replacing silent films.
But this industry has shown its vigorous vitality and is growing rapidly every year. What Lin Jiang values is its huge profits. Really huge profits. The explosion of a film is enough to make a film company earn a lot of money.
Lin Jiang came out of his sleep with a backpack of gold, exchanged more than half of it, and established a film company. There are at least 800 such film companies in Harbour City. There are more than a dozen opening every day, and more than a dozen closing down every day. It's mediocre.
With more companies closing down, many directors, photographers and the like are unemployed. Lin Jiang spent a month chatting with these unemployed people before finally determining the company's first photography team.
For the first film, Lin Jiang chose a romance film, because romance films have the largest audience and there are no hidden dangers, so there is no need to worry about being banned. If it is a film that exposes social reality, it can certainly make people think deeply, but Lin Jiang's company may be gone the next day.
Lin Jiang did not use the story of Blue Star for the script. There is no shortage of materials in this era. Chinese civilization can be traced back to more than 5,000 years in this era, so there is plenty of material
. Lin Jiang was very interested in the first film, so he basically participated in it himself, from the screenwriter, actors, costumes and props, etc. For Lin Jiang, it was like playing a reality show.
In this era, a movie can only be completed in two or three months at most, and shoddy work is inevitable. People's aesthetics are not that high, mainly because no one knows what a high-quality film looks like, but Lin Jiang's first film took a full year.
A year later, this love movie similar to Liang Zhu became popular in Harbour City. Six cinemas in Harbour City were full of people, and it was expanding to all directions. A large number of film dealers from other places came to buy negatives. Lin Jiang became famous overnight and became the top film company in Harbour City with just one movie.
······
After making money, Lin Jiang started to build his own team in addition to preparing for the second film. He was not just thinking about being a movie tycoon. Lin Jiang wanted to stand at the top of this era and freely control his own destiny, so the film company was just his cash pool.
Harbour City was very prosperous, but on the other side of prosperity, there were countless poor people. There were countless coolies and poor people in the train station, bus station, and port of Harbour City.
Lin Jiang easily took in hundreds of orphans, the youngest was only three or four years old, and the oldest was eleven or twelve years old. Lin Jiang provided them with enough food and a safe place to live. He hired teachers to teach them to read and write, and Lin Jiang taught them some boxing and kung fu and brainwashed them to be loyal to him.
Although martial arts has declined in this era, it has not disappeared completely. It still has a large market in the upper class of society. The reactions of martial arts masters are beyond ordinary people, and they are the best bodyguards. Even in the army, a team composed of some martial arts masters is the best candidate for commandos. Martial arts are just no longer the mainstream of society.
Lin Jiang also trained a group of financial personnel. In the future, Lin Jiang's companies will definitely increase. He can't keep an eye on them by himself, so finance is the top priority. In fact, these orphans will become the backbone of his company in the future, but now they are too young to be used.
After the first film became popular, the film company started working on three films at the same time. Lin Jiang's participation was not so high, but the people under him had already gained experience, so Lin Jiang didn't have to worry about it.
In the following year, the three films were released one after another, and they were still popular, repeatedly breaking the box office record. Lin Jiang was no longer a rising star in the film industry. He jumped to the level of a crocodile, and earned more from four films than others from forty films.
Various monsters and demons also set their sights on Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang did not rudely refuse these people's offers. He personally went on stage to cheat with them, exchanged the company's shares with them for benefits, and inevitably made a few moves. Several gang leaders who were not presentable suddenly died.
A few months later, Lin Jiang had a second company, which produced film. The hot film market brought huge demand, and the increasing number of camera factories also had a huge demand for film.
Lin Jiang, the film factory, attached great importance to research and development, and personally went to various places to dig up a lot of talents. At this time, the Huaxia Federation was still deeply affected by the economic crisis. A large number of factories closed down, tens of millions of unemployed people, and talents became extremely cheap. Lin Jiang set the goal for these talents to develop color film instead of the mainstream black and white film.
After another year, Lin Jiang used the film company and the film factory as collateral to borrow 5 million Huaxia yuan from the bank, setting a new personal loan record.
After getting the money, Lin Jiang heavily acquired a grain processing plant and converted it into a canning factory. The reason for doing this was that Lin Jiang used the female stars made famous by the film company to get on a few dignitaries. Otherwise, with the current battlefield status and food control situation, doing this is completely courting death.
But it was different when there was someone above him. All kinds of raw materials were green-lighted, and the factory was quickly built. Lin Jiang hired several technical experts, and provided them with good food and high salaries, so that they could solve several technical problems, such as preventing food corruption.
These technologies were not epoch-making, and it took only half a year to get them done. Lin Jiang also borrowed the female stars made famous by the film company to get the big guys in the Chinese Federation Army. The first customer of the cannery was an order from the army.
"From the first day of its birth, capital has been dripping with dirty blood from head to toe."
Lin Jiang looked at the busy factory and sighed. In three years, he rose from an unknown person in Harbour City to a multi-millionaire. He has three companies under his control, all of which are very profitable.
The whole process was full of sin and blood. The stars made famous by the film companies had become the socialites of the upper class in Harbour City. The workers in the film factory were enduring the poisoning of chemicals, and the workers in the cannery worked hard every day, but the wages they received were just enough to fill their stomachs.
"This is the primitive accumulation of capital. Few people can see the light of day. I am the same."
Lin Jiang shook his head and threw away all the distracting thoughts. His business empire has just begun, and Lin Jiang's goal is very ambitious.
Lin Jiang has been clear about his current goal in recent years, that is, to control a country or the world, because the current scientific and technological progress is too fast, and it is still in the technological revolution. Sooner or later, some taboo weapons will be developed. Lin Jiang does not know what level of immortal cultivators these weapons can deal with after the spiritual energy is revived.
But Lin Jiang can foresee that the contradiction between immortal cultivators and mortals will definitely be very prominent at that time. In the era of immortal cultivation, immortal cultivators did not regard mortals as human beings at all. There was no telling how many mortals were killed in a war. Now it is the era of mortals taking charge. Will they agree?
Therefore, conflicts are inevitable. Among those who are sleeping now, there are those whom Lin Jiang cares about the most. Naturally, he has to make plans for them and ensure that they will not be sent to the laboratory for slicing after they wake up.
