Chapter 116: Takekawa's Plans
Sonai is one of the few companies known to Chen Tianliao that was established after the war and was as brilliant as another time and space. It is still the two giants of Jingshen and Shengtian who control the direction and make this company the best electronic company in the world, and even become the belief in the hearts of some electronic enthusiasts.
Like another time and space, Sonais founded an entertainment company in the eighties and nineties and went on a merger and acquisition spree all over the world. Chen Tianliao has cooperated with them in the two major industries of music and games, and is an important partner of Sonai. Therefore, Sonai also invited Chen Tianliao and Zhuchuan to participate in the merger and acquisition dinner. Chen Tianliao proposed to watch the press conference, and Fumio Hinata Hinata Fumio, vice president of Sonai Company, who was in charge of mergers and acquisitions, happily agreed to this request.
Chen Tianliao and Takekawa sat quietly in a corner, waiting for the press conference to begin. This time, they were whispering to each other in Mandarin. The hall was full of European and American RB reporters, and Mandarin became an unpopular language, and few people could understand it, allowing Chen Tianliao and Zhuchuan to talk conveniently.
"Xiao Liao, I want to do two things to discuss with you. Takekawa said in a serious tone, but a little tired.
Chen Tianliao was a little surprised. He rarely saw Takekawa, who was so serious and tired, and even had a hint of gloom on his face. So he replied solemnly, "Say it, Mary." If I can help, I'll do my best. ”
Takekawa smiled and said, "You don't have to be so serious, it's actually two private matters, but they also involve the company." Speaking of this, Takekawa paused lightly and continued, "First thing, I want to move to Huaguo. ”
Chen Tianliao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why?"
A helpless smile appeared on Takekawa's face: "It's nothing, I just want to change the environment." ”
When Chen Tianliao saw it, he understood, and said with a smile: "Okay." I'll give you a house in the capital, which has everything in it, and you can move here at any time. And in his heart, he also had a little more pity for Takekawa. An older single woman will always be under a lot of pressure in Eastern society. In particular, Takekawa was a very wealthy woman.
"Thank you, Xiao Liao. Zhuchuan was not polite to Chen Tianliao. Her friendship with Chen Tianliao has surpassed worldly money and glory.
"You're welcome. Chen Tianliao said, adding in his heart: "After all, I am also responsible for the current environment." He didn't want to go any further, so he said, "What about the second thing?"
"I want a baby. Takekawa said softly.
"Huh, you're getting married?" Chen Tianliao almost jumped up in shock.
"No, I only need one child. Takekawa said calmly.
"Oh. Chen Tianliao suddenly realized. Women who want to be single mothers are very rare in the east of this time and space, but there are still such a group of women in later generations, and later generations are more tolerant of such women. Chen Tianliao didn't ask much, after all, this was Zhuchuan's private matter. And with Takekawa's conditions, raising more children is not a problem. And with Takekawa's character, when she does these things, the company should have already arranged them.
"Okay, you can give birth in Huaguo, and I will invite the best obstetricians and nurses in the world to serve you!" Chen Tianliao said with a smile.
"Thank you!" a smile rippled from Takekawa's face, and all the seriousness and gloom dissipated. Chen Tianliao's heart was also relieved, and he had the illusion of returning to the splendid wilderness of spring.
Takekawa's smile is from the heart. If she only helped Chen Tianliao at the beginning, and then cooperated with each other, by this time she and Chen Tianliao were best friends. Only in front of Chen Tianliao, Zhuchuan is the most relaxed. As long as it is not a matter of principle, Chen Tianliao is always so tolerant and empathetic, and those wise eyes seem to be able to see the negative emotions in people's hearts and skillfully avoid them, which makes people have no psychological burden. Zhuchuan can only be his truest self in front of Chen Tianliao. Just like this time, Chen Tianliao didn't even ask why Zhuchuan moved and who the child's father was, but just sincerely helped her solve her worries, which made all the cold ice in Zhuchuan's heart turn into a pool of spring water.
Chen Tianliao still wanted to say something to Zhuchuan, the crowd was in a commotion, the rostrum was full of people at some point, and the host was standing up with the microphone to speak. Chen Tianliao closed his mouth, smiled at Zhuchuan, and turned his head to look at the host.
The conference was the launch of Sonai's acquisition of Brown Records, the third-largest record label in the United States. Brown Records is a record label that developed in the fifties of this time and space. Because the company was founded by a group of young people with a keen sense of pop music, the company grew rapidly from the beginning, and in the sixties and seventies it became the world's largest record label for pop music. But later, under the temptation of fame and fortune, the company bosses split, and many people left the company to start another business, so that the company slowly sank, and now it has even been merged by Sonai.
The American host on the stage first briefly explained the background of the merger and acquisition, and then joked: "Sonai Entertainment is now the largest record company in Asia, and after the completion of this merger, Sonai Entertainment will also become the third largest record company in the world!"
Chen Tianliao inhaled secretly in his heart. The consortia of the Wa Kingdom and the Bang State are really giants. You must know that the entertainment industry is only one of the four major businesses of the Sonai Foundation, and the record industry is only one of the businesses of Sonai Entertainment. Only within Sonai Entertainment, Sonai Pictures, Sonai Games and other businesses are also giants in their respective industries. Chen Tianliao's career is not useless compared to it, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like the difference between a primary school student and a doctoral student.
Zhuchuan saw Chen Tianliao's expression, reached out and took out a pen and notebook in his bag - don't ask me why she has these two things in her small bag in addition to cosmetics, opened the book and wrote three Chinese characters on the notebook: "Lost?"
Chen Tianliao nodded.
Takekawa wrote on it: "18 years old, Jing Shen: 0, Morita: 0, Chen Tianliao: Quantum Investment Company, Glass Slag Entertainment Company, Tianliao Game Company, Tianliao Entertainment Corporation......" Takekawa wrote a few dense lines, and then raised his eyes to look at Chen Tianliao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. There is respect, pride and honor in this smile.
Chen Tianliao looked at it, smiled, shook his head, and then turned his head to continue to look at the stage.
The scene has entered the Q&A session with reporters. Reporters from the United States and the Japanese took turns asking questions, and Fumio Hinata, the head of mergers and acquisitions at Sonai, answered with ease. Like in the previous life, after Sonai acquired Columbia Pictures in the United States, it incurred huge losses because of its unsuitability, and many reporters seized this point to question Sonai's merger and acquisition.
Fumio Hinata said confidently, "Our colleagues in the film department may have failed, but our record department has not failed. We've acquired Chapman Records and Jupidou Records in Europe, and now we're in the top five in the European market, better than Chapman and Jupidou. In Asia, in addition to the Japanese market, we are also growing rapidly in Southeast Asia...... In the Huaguo part, we have become the record boss of Baodao and Xiangjiang. Now, with the identity of Baodao and Taiwan branch Huaguo, we are ready to enter the mainland of China...... So, we don't think our acquisitions in the U.S. will fail as much as they do elsewhere. ”
"Marching into the mainland market?" Although Chen Tianliao knew that the mainland record market would open up sooner or later, foreign capital would also have to come in sooner or later. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to hear your opponent say it with your own ears.
"Interesting. Chen Tianliao said in his heart. He was thinking about whether he should also set up a record company in the United States to fight in the ring with Sonai and pull his legs, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He didn't have the energy to spread too much of a stall. What's more, there are more important tasks to be put on the agenda one after another.
Zhuchuan stabbed Chen Tianliao's arm again and handed him the notebook. Chen Tianliao took the notebook and looked at it, and it read: "Can you resist Sonai Entertainment in Huaguo?"
Chen Tianliao smiled, also wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Zhuchuan.
Takekawa took the pen and paper and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written, "Have I ever been defeated?" she couldn't help but grin silently.
After the launch, it was the celebration. Most of the reporters walked to press the press release, and the guests attending the celebration began to rush to the celebration venue upstairs one after another.
Chen Tianliao and Zhuchuan picked a corner at the celebration and sat down and chatted alone. Most of the people present here are people from the American music industry, Chen Tianliao and Takekawa are unknown juniors on such occasions, and those bigwigs and stars with various halos are difficult to notice these two inconspicuous Orientals. In fact, in the eyes of Lao Mei, even Sonai is just an external nouveau riche. In the middle, only Hinata and some people from the Japanese company came to chat a few words.
Chen Tianliao and Takekawa were chatting when a tall, southern-looking figure came to their table.
"Hey, Chen, I'm so glad to meet you!" shouted the southern-looking man.
"Mr. Lentini, you have also been invited? Aren't you in New York?" Chen Tianliao was also very surprised. Lentini was the deputy head of the delegation that visited China when his three youth bands debuted, and he was introduced as a music producer in the United States. Judging by his surname and appearance, he is a descendant of an Italian.
"yes, I'm in New York. "But I happened to be talking about a business with a Hollywood crew, and I was in time for the event, so I attended." I'm so lucky that I met you here! You really came to study in the United States?"
Chen Tianliao smiled: "I am also honored to meet you again." Yes, I came to the U.S. to study at Berkeley. ”
"Hell, Chen, you're ruining your genius! You should not choose Berklee (Berkeley), but Berklee (Berklee Conservatory)!"
Chen Tianliao smiled: "It's all the same for me. My computer genius is no less than my musical genius. If you have any computer problems, you can come to me, and I will be happy to help you. ”
Lentini also smiled: "Where do I have any computer problems?" Fiddling with that keyboard, I might as well fiddle with the band keyboard. However, I have a musical problem right now, and maybe you can help me!"
