Joly was indeed busy now. He had to film during the day, and he had to deal with the bank and television station. Fortunately, he had Li Dan and Uncle De's help. Otherwise, Joly wouldn't be able to handle it even if he died of exhaustion.
If it wasn't for the fact that this was the first television series that the television station was going to produce, Joly would have already given up. He really wasn't cut out to be a director. In the past, he had seen that those famous directors didn't seem to be anything impressive. Now, he realized that this was indeed quite impressive.
Joly really didn't know anything about banks. It seemed that other than lending money, the only way to make money was to invest. In terms of investment, Joly couldn't do it either. Although he had been in the bank for a few years, investing wasn't something that ordinary people could do.
It was not possible for banks to only provide savings services now. The interest was a large sum of money. It might not be obvious for the time being, but if an accident happened, it would be a huge problem. After all, there was still a huge hole that had not been plugged.
Just thinking about it made Joly feel that he was being generous. After all, the bank could be under his name now. If he didn't plug the hole, if the news was leaked, it would all be over.
Joly suddenly realized that he didn't know how to make money as soon as possible. At first, he wanted to earn a sum of liquid funds so that his savings customers wouldn't be unable to withdraw money. Then, he would lend out money to fill the hole bit by bit.
He did not expect to accidentally set up a television station. Now, all his energy was focused on the television station, and he could not care less about the bank. Although Joly believed that the television station would definitely make money, it would have to wait until it started broadcasting.
The next day, Joly happened to pass by a newsstand on his way to work. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, so he drove over. When he arrived at the television station, he immediately asked his secretary, Xu Hui, to help him buy a copy of today's newspapers.
Joly didn't have the habit of reading newspapers in the past, but when he passed by the newsstand this morning, he remembered that he didn't have a clue about how to make money, but he could find clues from the newspapers, even though most of the content in the newspapers was worthless.
After a while, Xu Hui came back with a stack of newspapers. They were all today's newspapers. There were about 30 copies. Jolly took them and said,"I'm sorry. I didn't expect there to be so many. Thank you for your hard work!”
"It's okay. It's not far."
"I have to thank you. By the way, does the newspaper company have a delivery service?”
"Eh? Yes, do you want to make a reservation?"
"Yeah, help me book it later so that I don't have to buy it again. It's too troublesome.”
Jolly only flipped through a few newspapers before going to the set. There were so many people waiting for Jolly to start work, so Jolly couldn't delay everyone. Li Jiaxin didn't come today, and she didn't have any scenes.
"Cut, Xing Zai, control your expression a little. This is a close-up shot for you. Pay attention to your expression a little, or it will look bad on TV.”
"Cut, this scene is too much. Change the scenery. Take the next one."
Joly was now able to adapt to his identity as a director. He had a lot of control over the entire set. After all, he was also the boss of the television station, so everyone was very cooperative.
At noon, Joly ate with everyone. In this era, actors rarely made exceptions. Whether they were big shots or not, everyone ate the same food, which was prepared by the production team.
Just like in the future, those who were slightly famous would have a group of people waiting for them. Food, drink, and use would all be prepared separately. They would even throw a little temper at the slightest moment. It could only be said that they were spoiled.
That kind of person would be courting death if he was placed in this situation. Even being beaten up was a light punishment. Of course, it was not that there were no bad habits in this era. In this era, when filming television dramas and movies, the safety of actors and staff was slightly neglected.
When doing some dangerous actions, the protective measures were very simple, or even non-existent. Fortunately, Joly did not have such a situation. Weapons and whatnot were all props and could not hurt anyone. Up until now, no one had been injured.
After work in the afternoon, Joly decided to let everyone rest for three days. Of course, Mi Rong and Zeng Ziwei could only rest for two days. They had to take one day off to do a program, which was Lucky 51.
After returning to his office, he first dealt with some documents before starting to read the newspaper. In this era, there were very few ways to obtain information, unlike the Internet explosion in the later era, where all kinds of information could be found online.
Although the news in the newspaper had some limitations, it was barely enough. Anyway, Joly didn't intend to analyze the news from the newspaper. In order to pursue sales, it was normal for newspapers to make some outrageous and shocking news.
Suddenly, a piece of news caught Joly's attention. It was a financial newspaper. There was nothing special about it, except that it mentioned a British-owned bank, Huji. Of course, Joly had an impression of it.
In his later life, Joly accidentally saw a report about Hong Kong's richest man, Lee Ka Shing. The formation of an economic empire would definitely go through several stages, and Huji was a very crucial puzzle.
The case of acquiring Huji had made him famous. After all, Huji had a market value of billions. He had only used 600 million to successfully join the board of directors and become the head. Then, he slowly turned Huji into his own.
Of course, Joly didn't think he had the ability to do so. He didn't have 600 million now, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the chance. There was still more.
There were some other connections involved, and Joly didn't want to get involved.
The other person that came to Joly's mind was the richest man in Hong Kong, the King of Boats, Pao Yu Gang. The reason why Li Jiacheng had the opportunity to enter Huji was because he had done Pao Yu Gang a favor.
At that time, Baoyu Harbor was preparing to buy Nine Quarters, but the news was leaked. They had no choice but to make the purchase public. The original owner of Nine Quarters naturally did not agree, so he wanted to buy back the shares of Nine Quarters. The original price was 35 Hong Kong dollars per share, but it was directly raised to 100 Hong Kong dollars per share.
Li Jiacheng was the key to this. He had tens of millions of shares in his hands. Whoever he sold to would be the biggest shareholder. Of course, he sold it to Bao Yugang in exchange for a favor.
Li Jiacheng was able to successfully enter Huji because of this favor. At that time, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank had some shares in Huji. Coincidentally, Bao Yugang was friends with the big boss of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Shen Lin.
Jolly believed that the stock price doubling in the acquisition war of Nine Dormitories was not to be missed. However, it was meaningless for Jolly for the time being, because that was something that would happen in two years 'time, and he could not make money now.
After reading all the newspapers, Joly first recorded down the useful information. Although he couldn't use it for the time being, he could still use it in the future. After all, he didn't have much memory that he could use. If he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to use all of it and not waste any of it.
When he returned home at night, he didn't expect Li Jiaxin to be at home. Joly asked curiously,"Didn't you say that you're going back to take a look today? Why didn't you go back?"
"I went back. I only came back at night.”
"Haha, why didn't you stay for a night?”
"Humph! It's all your fault. They said that I was sold to you and asked me to come back.”
"Uh... Fine, fine, blame me then. When you have nothing to do, go back to play during the day and come back to sleep at night.”
After dinner, Jolly sat in the living room and turned on the television. It was the first time he had turned on the television after moving in for so many days. He wanted to see if there were any good programs on other television stations.
The first thing he watched was Li's channel. Li's channel was quite pitiful. They had recently changed their boss and had spent quite a bit of money, but it did not help the television station much. The viewership ratings had been falling, and it had benefited the wireless channel instead.
Out of the three major free television stations, two had changed bosses. The only one that hadn't changed was the wireless television station. However, it was about to happen. The head of the wireless television station, Old Master Li, was getting weaker by the day. He said that he would be fine and left on the day he left.
At that time, Sixth Uncle Shao would not be lenient. However, Wuxian was a big business and could afford to make trouble. They would recover very quickly. As long as the management put in more effort, they would also develop well.
Li Jiaxin went upstairs to take a shower and came down again. She ran over to give Joly a massage. She didn't know where this hobby came from. After a while, she got tired and snuggled up to Joly. After a while, she fell asleep.
Joly had no choice but to carry her back to her room. He then returned to the living room and watched TV for a while. He had a certain understanding of Li's TV programs.
In terms of genre, they were much better than Jiayi, which meant that their production team was quite good. Of course, this was only limited to TV series. A variety show would not do. It was completely nonsense.
The variety show was either loud and noisy or chaotic. The word 'noisy' could be used to describe it. It was really too noisy. There was no technical content at all. Moreover, it was obvious that they were unwilling to spend money. The stage props could be seen to be very casual and careless.
There was no need to watch the rest of the programs. Usually, television stations would arrange their best programs for prime time and the hour before and after prime time because that was the peak period for watching television.
If the programs at that time period were not good, then there was probably no way to watch the programs at other time periods. Joly was not stupid. There was no need to waste that time and energy watching them.
Joly went to the study and continued writing the script. For some reason, Joly always felt that writing scripts at night was more efficient, especially before going to bed. Sometimes, he even felt strange. In a daze, it was actually the most suitable time to write. Countless scenes would float through his mind.
It felt like a dream. Although it was a little messy, the image was very strong. As long as he corrected it slightly, it would be fine. It was the same today. It felt like he was half-asleep.
Joly's mind felt like it was playing a movie, and his hands were not idle either. He wrote quickly and soon finished a plot. Suddenly, he felt as if someone had touched him. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but then the feeling became stronger and he could only open his eyes.
"Eh? Weren't you sleeping? Why did you run out again?" It was actually Li Jiaxin who came to cause trouble again.
"I drank too much water at night, so I came to see you.”
"Alright, I've seen it. Go back and sleep. I'll go and rest later.”
