Chapter 339: Kind Feedback Came So Soon

Overnight, Karen Carpenter and her new song: "I Will Always Love You" became popular!

The kind of fire that is so red and purple.

In just three days, this new song that has just been released has reached the eighth place on the "Billboard" singles chart, and all music critics are extremely optimistic about whether "I Will Always Love You" can hit the "Billboard" championship, and even some music critics have publicly stated that he thinks that this weekend, Karen Carpenter's "I Will Always Love You" is expected to hit the top list.

But it didn't wait for the weekend, and on Saturday, "I Will Always Love You" rushed to the top of the "Billboard" singles chart with an unbeatable attitude, and the gap to the second place was so large that the second place was desperate.

In a word, with the popularity of "I Will Always Love You", Karen Carpenter's originally dimmed starlight has become brilliant again, and even the "Bodyguard" starring her is also highly anticipated, in media interviews, more than 7 percent of the interviewees said that they would consider going to the cinema after listening to "I Will Always Love You", and more than 80 percent of the 70 made it clear that they would definitely go to the cinema after the movie was released.

As a result, even Twentieth Century Fox, the distributor of "The Bodyguard", was taken aback: the film, which was originally thought to be only a small profit, seemed to be able to make a lot of money?

Twentieth Century Fox urgently adjusted its publicity strategy, not only immediately increasing its investment in the promotion of "Bodyguard", but also immediately adopted Chen Geng's suggestion: broadcast the trailer of "Bodyguard" on major television stations.

This is the first time that a movie has shown a trailer on TV, and what is the specific effect, in fact, Twentieth Century Fox is also beating the drum in his heart, but when the trailer comes out, Twentieth Century Fox's phone is immediately blown up.

Twentieth Century Fox's mouth was about to smile crookedly, so it increased the publicity budget again......

At this time, Silly also realized that he had dug a gold mine, as for the previous VAM agreement signed with Fernandez, as long as the total box office is there, what if he gives up a little profit?

Never underestimate the shrewdness of the capitalists' plans.

........................

But these have little to do with Chen Geng, he doesn't understand the thing of movie distribution, and it's lower than what he doesn't understand, Chen Geng has self-knowledge and never interferes indiscriminately, not to mention that he doesn't have time to meddle now, because there are more important things waiting for him to deal with......

"A dollar?"

Looking at the reply letter from the capital city in front of him, Chen Geng felt a little dizzy.

Previously, the capital city government invited Fernandez to build a comprehensive hypermarket on Chang'an Avenue in the capital, which is now the location of the capital international trade center, and Fernandez sent a letter of inquiry to the capital city government on some specific matters such as land price, service life, property rights and other issues. The only thing is the price of the land, which makes Chen Geng and Rosemary dizzy: one dollar.

It's one RMB, not one dollar.

Having said that, for a piece of land with a total area of more than 10 hectares, is there a difference between one yuan RMB and one dollar?

"If it's not wrong, it's a dollar," Rosemary confirmed the number on the letter again and again, and after confirming that it was indeed one yuan RMB, her tone was thick and incredible: "Boss, I can't imagine ......"

"Not only can you imagine it, but I can't imagine it either. Chen Geng pinched his head, he felt a little headache, in the current capital of the International Trade Center to develop a comprehensive hypermarket with a total area of more than 10 hectares, the land is only one dollar? Chen Geng wondered if the other party had forgotten "100 million" or "10 million", shook his head and said: "Send another fax to the other party to confirm, and ask them if they made a mistake." ”

The domestic reply is very fast, and it is clear that it is a dollar RMB, and they are very sure that it is not wrong, as for the ownership of property rights and the period of use, everyone can talk about it, and I hope that Fernandez Company can go to Huaxia as soon as possible to negotiate with the capital city government.

The amount was fine, but Rosemary became suspicious, and she asked suspiciously: "Boss, the Huaxia government won't have a plan to let us build this mall first, and then nationalize it after it is completed and starts operation, right?"

Chen Geng laughed.

He roughly guessed what the country was thinking, on the one hand, the capital lacked such a high-end and international comprehensive hypermarket, and on the other hand, it was very likely to give himself some kind feedback.

As for Rosemary's thoughts, he does not find it strange that people in capitalist countries look at socialist countries and their regimes like this.

After thinking about it, he had the bottom in his heart, Chen Geng shook his head: "No." ”

"Won't?" Rosemary was surprised, she couldn't understand why her boss was so sure of such a thing.

"Well, it really won't. Chen Geng nodded.

"Can you explain?" Rosemary's expression became serious, "I am the general manager of the company, and I must be responsible for the company's investments. ”

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded: "On the one hand, it is to repay the goodwill of Fernandez Company, but this is not the point, the point is that on the other hand, through this cooperation with us, we will tell those international investors: as long as you come to me, you will definitely make money." ”

Rosemary: "......"

Facing Rosemary's increasingly puzzled gaze, Chen Geng explained in depth: "It has been two years since Huaxia made the decision to reform and open up, but so far, our investment in Huaxia accounts for more than 70% of foreign capital investment in Huaxia...... What do you think the outcome means for the decision-maker of the Chinese government who made the decision of 'reform and opening up'?"

This means that what he is doing is most likely wrong. Rosemary said without thinking.

"That's right, but we all know that reform and opening up is correct, and I believe that the decision-maker also knows that even if the road of reform and opening up is difficult, we must stick to it, because there is only a dead end if we don't reform and open up," Chen Geng nodded: "But this also means that this decision-maker may still encounter a lot of resistance."

It is precisely because the situation of attracting foreign investment in China is not very optimistic that they need the existence of an 'image project'. ”

"I see, we are this 'image project'. Rosemary clapped her hands and was happy.

If so, it makes sense, in order to set an example for international investors, this loss of land is nothing.

"It's not all," Chen Geng shook his head and said: "In fact, if you calculate the accounts, even if the capital city sells this land to us at a price of one dollar, they actually don't lose money, such a comprehensive hypermarket, or even a little ahead of the existence of "urban complex", even if the local government fails to make money by selling the land, but how much does the construction cost alone?"

Taking those hypermarkets in Detroit as a reference, the construction cost needs at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and when the hypermarkets are officially put into operation after they are completed, how much tax revenue can be brought to the local area every year?

Well, it's also pitiful to say, although the capital is the political center of China, but such a big country, or one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, does not even have such a super hypermarket, and after the completion of this hypermarket, to say the big picture, it will also improve the image of the local and the country, so on the whole, how much benefit do you say this is? Compared with these benefits, the money from selling the land is really nothing. ”

“......”

Rosemary had the urge to scold her mother: Nima, building a comprehensive hypermarket that can be found everywhere in American cities actually involves the level of national image?

As for what she thought before, "after this hypermarket is put into operation, the Huaxia government will find another excuse to nationalize", as long as the Huaxia government's decision to reform and open up remains unchanged, this situation will not happen - if they really do this, who will dare to invest in Huaxia in the future?

"So...... Is this all true?" Rosemary smacked her lips for a long time, looking for confidence in her boss.

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"

"That's true, my God, there really is a pie-in-the-sky good thing in this world," Rosemary sighed, and suddenly asked nervously, "Boss, what do you say...... We're not going to lose money, are we?"

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Chen Geng was almost choked to death by his own saliva, and it was easy to recover, and he glanced at her angrily: "What do you say?"

"Hey, hey......" Rosemary smirked.

Also, in the heart of the capital of the world's most populous country, invest in the construction of a comprehensive hypermarket, the property rights still belong to you, if you will lose money...... He shouldn't have lived, so he died quickly.

PS: Brothers, please wait a few minutes.
