The next day, Xia Tiantian invited Zhang Aijia, general manager of the Taiwan branch of Tianxia Entertainment, to meet.

"Mr. Xia, when did you come to Taiwan?" Zhang Aijia asked in surprise and surprise when she received a call from Xia Tian.

"I just arrived yesterday." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "I just came here to visit my relatives, so I didn't make a big fuss."

He is now a noble person, one of the world's most wealthy people, and has countless industries under his jurisdiction, which is enough to influence the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.

People like him are popular everywhere they go. Many governments hope that he will go to investigate investment, and many media hope that he can interview him.

Just like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others back then, when they visited mainland China, they were met by the Supreme Ridge leader in person.

Xia Tian’s current net worth, status, and global influence are even more than Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others. If the news of his coming to Taiwan is exposed, let alone the Taiwanese media, even the Taiwanese authorities will invite him to meet.

Then he will be very annoyed! So, it would be better to be low-key. After all, he is just visiting relatives this time, not from Taiwan to discuss business.

"So that's it." Zhang Aijia nodded in understanding.

With Xia Tian’s current wealth and status, it would be a great thing if the itinerary was really made public. It would probably be a sensation in Taiwan.

"How is it, how is the company's recent development?" Xia Tian smiled.

"It's very good." Zhang Aijia smiled, somewhat satisfied. "Our TV station has many users, and among the many cable TVs in Taiwan, they are all among the top. Especially the variety show channels, they are very popular with viewers.

Tolai, our TV station and the series launched by our company in recent years have achieved good responses and good returns. Last year, our company's total revenue was NT$40.4 billion and its net profit was NT$3 billion."

After hearing this, Xia Tian nodded.

NT$3 billion is calculated as US dollars, but only 50 million US dollars. It is not as good as his single-day deposit income, but he is still very satisfied with seeing the company develop so well.

For Taiwan’s entertainment companies, the revenue is already very good.

You should know that the Taiwan market is actually very limited, after all, the population is only 23 million. However, there are dozens of TV stations in Taiwan, and at most, it reaches more than 100 and more than 300 channels. It can be said that the competition is extremely fierce.

In comparison, Hong Kong's population is only five or six million, but there are only four TV stations, two wireless (TVB, ATV), one cable (Waterland Whampoa), and one satellite TV (satellite TV).

Among them, cable TV and satellite TV have very low ratings in Hong Kong. They have been operating at a loss for many years and cannot become bigger and stronger. Therefore, the dominant position of TVB and ATV are always the ones that dominate. TVB is the only one that has always been the ones that have dominated the market.

Therefore, in Hong Kong, TVB is equivalent to a monopoly of five or six million viewers, so profitability is naturally no problem. At the highest point, TVB's annual profit was nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The Taiwan branch of Tianxia Entertainment cannot cover the sky with just one hand in Taiwan like TVB in Hong Kong, but it can still generate NT$3 billion in profits. This is a good achievement, which shows that Zhang Aijia’s work in recent years has not been in vain.

"Mr. Xia, I am confident that I will increase the company's profit by another ten percentage points this year." Zhang Aijia said again.

"Oh, there is no need." Xia Tian waved his hand when he heard this, "I don't pursue the profits of Tianxia Entertainment. Now it is not a tool for making money, but for me to realize my dreams.

I hope that the whole company can focus its main energy on its works and strive to produce more good and popular works. As for profit, as long as it doesn’t lose money.”

The Taiwan branch of Tianxia Entertainment makes only a profit of 50 million US dollars a year. He makes more money in a day than this amount. So he really doesn't value the profit of this company.

Compared to making money, he hopes that the Taiwan branch of Tianxia Entertainment will focus all his energy on creation in order to produce more excellent dramas and programs.

You know, there is endless money in the world, but works can be passed down forever.

Just like more than a thousand years ago, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong and Wang Kai fought for wealth, both of them were extremely rich and noble. But more than a thousand years ago, these two people have disappeared in the long river of history and are rarely mentioned.

However, Wang Xizhi, who was at the same time, was named after his exquisite calligraphy and was respected as the "Sage of Calligraphy". More than a thousand years have passed, and he is still worshipped.

This is the charm of works of art. Good works are enough to withstand the rinsing of the long river of history and become fresher. In comparison, no matter how much money you have, it cannot withstand the baptism of time.

Zhang Aijia was very moved when she heard Xia Tian say this.

When doing business, there is no one who is not greedy for money. If you can make a hundred, you will never make only fifty.

But Xia Tian bluntly stated that the company does not need to make profits, it only needs to produce good works. This pursuit of art and contempt for money is really admirable. In comparison, those wealth fans who are obsessed with money and wish they can spend half of money will not be ashamed to death!

"Mr. Xia, I understand." Zhang Aijia nodded, "I will definitely make more good works in the future and will not disappoint you."

"That's right." Xia Tian nodded, "You can make money anytime, but once you miss a good era, it will be gone."

In the 1980s, the mainland entertainment industry was at its best.

Ideological liberation, taboo subjects could be released at that time; literary and artistic workers' long-suppressed creations burst out, and they all worked hard to come up with good works, not caring about gains and losses, not fame and fortune...

But unfortunately, due to lack of capital investment, no works were born in the best era. And the only few have become immortal classics.

For example, the 86th edition of "Journey to the West", the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Jigong", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", etc.

But when the entertainment industry was rich, the atmosphere had long changed.

Production companies, directors, and actors are all focused on making money and becoming famous. No one thinks about their works carefully. Everything is based on commercial considerations.

Therefore, later film and television dramas became increasingly ugly. Not to mention that compared with American dramas of the same period, even in the 1980s and 1990s, the quality of the dramas was much worse.

If the mainland entertainment industry wants to restore to the 1980s, work together to produce good works just to make a dream.

So, once you miss a good era, you will be gone.

The current trend in the entertainment industry in Taiwan is still very good. The series released are all great, both educational and entertaining. They are completely different from the brainless Mary Sue romance idol dramas of the previous life.
