Chapter 153 Acquisition of Watanabe Records
After sending Miko and Kuriko back to their residence, Lu Ming drove home again
After returning home, sitting in the living room, Lu Ming took a sip of the coffee handed over by Xiao Caizi and said, "I want to buy a record company, what do you think?"
Xiao Caizi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I knew that you would have this day, but I don't know what you think, why do you always think about doing business, with your ability, isn't the director more suitable!"
Seeing Lu Ming's embarrassed appearance, he immediately smiled again: "Since you have decided, I will fully support you." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 I also know a little bit about info records, and I heard that the Watanabe family of Watanabe Music Publishing is in a hurry to make a move, and this is also a good opportunity to intervene, but in this case, the funds are a little tight this year. You must know that now your mobile phone company is on the right track, but it is precisely because it is in a period of rapid development that it needs capital injection. Now there is some money, but the money for investing in records will probably have to be raised separately. ”
Lu Ming knew that although funds were scarce, Watanabe Music Publishing could not be delayed, so he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he took the opportunity to keep up with Mingfa Entertainment. So staring at Xiao Caizi, she said with blazing eyes: "I know that there is a shortage of funds for the time being, but by next year I plan to let Apple mobile phone companies be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and when the stock issuance is completed, I think we won't worry about money." ”
Xiao Caizi said: "Well, since you have decided, I will support you." ”
……
Of course, Lu Ming knew the truth that everything should be struck while the iron was hot, and the next day he interviewed Watanabe's senior management with the help of Toyota. Originally, one was in a hurry to sell, and the other wanted to buy, so the negotiations went very smoothly. The Watanabe family agreed to sell the record company for six billion.
On April 16, Watanabe Records finally officially handed over, and Lu Ming and Xiao Caizi led many of their artists to attend the press conference.
and singers who have contracts with Mingfa Entertainment are also present, and they are also stars.
I waited for an advertisement in the newspaper early in the morning, Lu Ming's fame was okay in Japan, and a large number of reporters came.
"May I ask Mr. Chen, I heard that you are an artist who has just signed a contract with Mingfa Entertainment, where did you get the huge amount of money to acquire Watanabe Records?"
"Excuse me, do you have the confidence to revive Watanabe? What do you compete with Otoi and A-stars?"
One by one, questions came one after another, Lu Ming smiled and said: "I can tell you responsibly that there is no problem with the source of funds for my acquisition of Huaxing, otherwise the Japanese government will not let me go, and I also want to explain that I also have a Warner Studios, which is funded by the films I directed." As for whether I have the confidence to revive Watanabe Records, I don't think any of the money I want to invest in wasting anything, and I am confident that Watanabe Records will regain its former glory! But now it has merged with my Warner Records and is now called Warner Records. ”
After experiencing a scene at the press conference, Lu Ming became more aware of how deep the troubled waters of the entertainment industry were. There aren't many peers in the music industry who come, and there are basically few big stars. This can't be blamed on others, who let their foundation be too shallow, and lack enough contacts, if it weren't for Mingfa Entertainment leading some artists to come to cheer, it is estimated that tomorrow Tokyo's big newspapers and tabloids will be hyped up with this.
The current Watanabe Records has long since lost its former glory, most of its artists have been transferred, and the rest are also panicked, obviously not having much confidence in Lu Ming's ownership. If you can't stabilize the company, the consequences may be unimaginable.
Among the artists who remained, Ayumi Hamasaki is undoubtedly the eldest sister, and she has a lofty status in the hearts of both male and female artists.
Ayumi Hamasaki, born on October 2, 1978 in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a Japanese pop singer, actress, and model.
At the age of 14, he went to Tokyo alone in search of an opportunity to pursue an acting career. In 1998, she was promoted by Katsuto Matsuura, the president of Ibex, and started her acting career. Since entering the music scene in 1998 with the single "Pokerface", Ayumi Hamasaki has been the lyricist of his own songs and has been working as a composer and arranger for a few songs. In 1999, she released her first album "Asongforxx", which made Ayumi Hamasaki the first Japanese female singer in 18 years to win the sales championship for three consecutive weeks, the first artist to be the No. 1 artist for a total of five weeks, and the first rookie female singer to sell more than one million copies in China. This album stayed on the Oricon chart for 63 weeks in a row and became Ayumi Hamasaki's first album to surpass one million, making her widely noticed. In 2004, he released the original album "MyStory". In 2007, he held his first Asian tour.
For such a woman with personality, Lu Ming still respects her very much.
Sitting in the living room of Ayumi Hamasaki's house, Lu Ming sighed secretly while quietly looking.
The breeze outside the window blew her sexy long hair, fluttering like a flag, and her charming and handsome face, perhaps because of some physical discomfort, gasped slightly, her snow-like skin was flushed with light red, lined with a ray of sunlight behind her, giving people an unreal feeling, like a classical dream.
Ayumi Hamasaki stared at the young and somewhat handsome boy in front of him, who had just heard that he was going to buy Watanabe Records, and he felt incredible. Clear and deep eyes, a bright and handsome face, and a slight frown, Ayumi Hamasaki is also moved by it.
It is said that when a man thinks about something seriously, it is the most exciting thing for a woman.
"I wonder why Mr. Chen is here today?" Hamasaki said with an eyebrow raised.
"Haha, Miss Bu, you are so polite, just call me Ah Chen, you are my idol and my senior, in the future, Ah Chen has some shortcomings, I hope you will correct me more." Lu Ming stared at Ayumi Hamasaki and said with a smile, Lu Ming knew that Ayumi Hamasaki was actually a very enthusiastic person, and after becoming famous, he didn't mention his juniors, and he also liked young people, I heard that her current boyfriend is younger than him.
Sure enough, hearing Lu Ming's humble and polite appearance, the strangeness in Hamasaki's heart slowly disappeared little by little, and he said with a hearty smile: "Then I will call you Chen Jun in the future, I feel that your future music path will surpass me!"
"There, Sister Bu praised Chen San too much, you are a stupid music diva!" Lu Ming looked at Ayumi Hamasaki and said seriously.
Ayumi Hamasaki leaned back on the sofa and said, "Chen Jun, I won't ask you why you bought Watanabe Records, I just want to know what confidence you have in being able to bring the half-dead Watanabe back to life?"
