Chapter Ninety-Four: English Literary Names
"Okay! I agree! Husband, you will definitely do it!" Ariel Lin moved towards the camera T7
"Hehe, with the support of you, a virtuous helper, I am more confident" Lin Feng said happily, "When I make money, I will buy you a diamond necklace, how about it?"
Ariel Lin's eyes lit up again when he heard this, but he said again: "It's not suitable!"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "If you can't wear it, it's good to put it at home to see?
Ariel Lin was a little moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm wearing this now."
Ariel Lin said and took out the crystal ring on the gold chain that Lin Feng gave her from her neck, with a happy smile on her face, "I want to wear it forever"
After all, a while has passed, Lin Feng almost forgot the "wedding" he held with her in the church, and gave her a crystal ring, but he also did the same, he always hung this crystal ring around his neck, and he never took it off when he took a bath
Lin Feng also touched his neck, took out the crystal ring, and showed it to Ariel Lin, both of them looked at each other and smiled very tacitly, everything was silent
"Then I'll buy you a 500-pull diamond ring then," Lin Feng said naturally
This time, Ariel Lin didn't refuse, she is not good at wearing the diamond ring now, but when they get married in the future, she can wear it, she was just surprised by what Lin Feng said, "500 pulls": "I heard that a one-carat diamond ring is thousands of yuan, isn't 500 pulls at least a million?"
"What is millions? I believe that your husband will be able to earn at least ten times this number when he releases records," Lin Feng said confidently, this is still his conservative figure for fear of scaring Ariel Lin, if she tells her the truth, your husband can make at least hundreds of millions of dollars by selling records, and she will not faint in fright
"Oh that...... Then you can buy it, and then use it when we get married," Ariel Lin said with a slight blush
"Okay, no problem," Lin Feng smiled
"By the way, husband, you don't plan to use your real name, so what stage name are you going to use?" Ariel Lin asked with some curiosity
"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you think about it for me," Lin Feng said
Ariel Lin raised his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you can simply use the pen name 'FENGLIN', anyway, everyone doesn't know it now, it is the pinyin of your name."
Lin Feng hurriedly shook his head: "This is not good, FENGLIN is famous enough now, I don't want it to make any more big news."
"Then it's just 'F; All of them take the first letter of their name as an abbreviation"
After thinking about it, Lin Feng shook his head
"What should it be called?" Ariel Lin said with some distress
Lin Feng also frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't settle down
"I can't think of it, so don't think about it for the time being, anyway, I'll have to wait until I officially release the record, it's still very early, and it's not too late to think about it slowly."
Ariel Lin thought about it for a while, nodded and the two of them chatted until almost the early hours of the morning, and only then ended the video under Ariel Lin's reminder
After turning off the computer, Lin Feng thought about it, and then contacted Karina, who was in Meidi, and told her about his idea of acquiring a small and medium-sized Meidi record company, hoping that she would take time out of her busy schedule to pay attention to it and get this matter done as soon as possible within a month
Karina didn't ask herself why the young boss suddenly wanted to buy a record company, and she agreed
Lin Feng still trusts Karina's ability very much, and now all he has to do is wait, and the work of picking songs, that is, picking out the English songs that are closest to the current time and publishing them first, so as to avoid conflicts, this job is also very easy for Lin Feng
In the next few days, except for practicing the piano and violin in the morning at the request of his mother, Lin Feng spent the rest of his time in his room to engage in "creation", and wrote the English songs he remembered in his previous life about this year after this year, according to the years he knew, and classified them.

After Karina agreed, she handed over the matter to Jack Adams, the manager of Huateng's investment department, to take full responsibility, he graduated from Harvard University, early thirties, and has more than five years of work experience in the investment industry.
Of course, there is no problem, Adams only took one day to give the most suitable information on the three record companies in the United States to acquire, after being conveyed by Karina, Lin Feng decided to directly acquire the largest of the three, called Jupiter (Jupiter), which has a history of more than ten years, it is headquartered in Los Angeles, and has branches in the United Kingdom and Australia, and it now has two more famous signed singers in the United Kingdom, and a symphony orchestra, which is in the style of classical music and country music, and the current business situation of this record company is acceptable, but it is a little difficult to further developThe company's leadership does not have the courage to forge ahead, if the price is right, presumably their boss and shareholders will not refuse the deal After getting Karina's instructions, Adams flew to Chicago the next day, contacted the major shareholders of the Jupiter record company, and discussed the acquisition, through the step-by-step, each breaking policy, Adams spent nearly ten days of effort, and has now acquired 4292% of the shares of the Jupiter record company, a total of nearly 2000 US dollars, and only the largest shareholder, that is, the owner of the record company, still holds nearly 48% of the shares, and the two sides are deadlocked on the specific price, because the other party's fixed price is 30 million US dollars, and the remaining two small shareholders are also holding shares and waiting, he is obviously sitting on the ground.
Although Lin Feng has money, of course, he does not agree with the price he quotes, these days Adams is bargaining with the other party, it is reasonable to argue that now the other party has begun to loosen up, and the price has been reduced to 28 million US dollars, this price is still 3 million US dollars more than Lin Feng's psychological price of 25 million US dollars, according to Adams's suggestion, began to adopt a roundabout tactic, first take almost 10 shares in the hands of the two small shareholders, for this reason, you can pay a little more, as long as your side becomes the largest shareholder of this company, the matter will be solved, and the big money is left Lin Feng let Karina convey that she has accepted this suggestion, if there is no accident, it will be the work of the past few days, and the news can be delivered
There is also the issue of Lin Feng's stage name that is about to make his debut in the Meidi music scene, this time, he and Ariel Lin racked their brains and came up with many stage names, but in the end, they were all vetoed by Lin Feng himself one by one, Lin Feng's xìng grid is either not to do it, to do it to do the best, of course, this stage name can't be sloppy, but now they haven't come up with a suitable one, and Lin Feng has no choice
In the end, Lin Feng couldn't help but tell Cai Shuqing, Messer, and Karina about his idea of choosing an English name, hoping to brainstorm Cai Shuqing is the most enthusiastic one, because she is still Lin Feng's agent, which is also her part, but unfortunately she handed in more than a dozen names in a row and was vetoed by Lin Feng, but it did not dispel her enthusiasm Xìng Messer and Karina also handed in several names one after another, but Lin Feng still felt not very satisfied
In Lin Feng's opinion, the matter of the stage name has been dragged on like this, compared to the acquisition of this Jupiter record company, it gives him a headache, after all, the former is mainly done by his subordinates, but this stage name is to rack his brains and be responsible for review, which is really a headache.
After a few days of public relations, Adams finally bought almost 10% of the shares in the hands of the minority shareholders of Jupiter Records, making Huateng International Holdings the largest shareholder of Jupiter Company, so that the original owner of Jupiter Records had to accept the offer of $2,500 and sell all the shares in his hands, and Jupiter Records immediately changed rent and became a subsidiary of Huateng International Holding Investment Group. Although there were some twists and turns, the acquisition battle was finally won.
As a result, Lin Feng's ability to Adams is basically recognized. Now that the record company has been bought, the next question is to restructure the company
Leadership, Lin Feng specially asked Ouyang Chong to go to Chicago for this reason, and asked him to recruit a group of professional managers in the related record industry on the spot, and completely rectify Jupiter Company, so that this record company, which was originally high and low, was rejuvenated.
Lin Feng originally wanted to change the name of this Jupiter Record, but because it involved a series of related procedures, and he was still struggling with his stage name, he gave up after thinking about it.
Oh, that's no problem, but, it seems, the current Lin Feng Song Friends Association has been established, and the scale is not small, and there are also people who are the chairman of the board of directors or something, besides, I am your girlfriend, and now everyone knows that many of your female fans are very hostile to me. Ariel Lin said with a chatter.
"I'm not talking about the Lin Feng Singers Club, but the Singers Club that your husband will be famous in the United States in the future. Lin Feng emphasized.
"Oh, that's fine. However, husband, you don't seem to have thought of your English literary name yet. Ariel Lin said with some teasing.
Lin Feng unceremoniously slapped her buttocks, and Ariel Lin screamed softly in pain.
In such a sudden moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of a word, and couldn't help laughing proudly: "Wife, I finally thought of it, just this name." ”
"What's the name?
Curious asked.
"long!" Lin Feng said softly.
"Long?" Ariel Lin asked with puzzled eyes, "What......'s this?" This doesn't seem to be a stage name, but it seems to be an adjective. ”
Lin Feng said eloquently: "You are wrong, this word is not just an adjective, it also has the meaning of a noun, indicating a long time, and it also means a person who is long in the financial market, however, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that it also has another meaning of 'dragon', which happens to be the English spelling of our man 'dragon', which is not a foreigner who looks like a lizard." Dragon', it represents evil and ferociousness, but the meaning of our Chinese dragon, it represents authority and sacrosanctity, as well as kindness and bravery, it embodies the unity of our Chinese nation for 5,000 years. Therefore, taking this name is very meaningful, which means that I am a descendant of the dragon. ”
"I see, when you say that, I also think this 'long' is very meaningful, but do you want to add your last name and become 'longlin'?" Ariel Lin suggested.
Lin Feng smiled: "Doesn't that mean that my name is 'Lin Long'? It's easy to misunderstand, and I don't want foreigners to know that I'm Chinese, so as not to make my records sell well because of racism or something. That's a bit more than worth the cost. ”
"Well, that's also true, a lot of white people look down on other people who have sè people, it's better not to let them know that you are yellow. Ariel nodded in agreement.
"With that name, I promise that in less than a year, 'long' will be world-famous. Lin Feng said confidently. It's no wonder he's so confident, because he has now collected more than 60 classic English songs, which will be sung all over the world in the future. He had already made an ambitious plan to catch them all, except for at least a third of them that were suitable for his boy, he planned to use the rest of the songs to praise one or two female singers, and package them as the stars of Jupiter Records.
"I'm also sure that songs like 'Far:ayomme' that you sang to me last time would be good, and if you made this song the title song of the album, it would definitely be famous. Ariel Lin is also full of confidence in her husband. Now in her eyes, there is nothing that her husband can't do. As long as he wants to do it, he can do it. This is true for writing books, studying for sports, and singing for songs. Whether it is a Chinese song or an English song, in fact, the two are the same, and Ariel Lin believes that as long as Lin Feng is willing to do it, he will definitely be able to do it well, and it is a matter of course to want to sell famous records.
After falling in love with Ariel Lin, and finally making up his mind for the name of T literature, Lin Feng finally let go of a major event in his heart. Officially began to plan his own path to fame in the United States.
A few days later, Ouyang Chong came to the news in Los Angeles that he had recommended a CEO candidate, named Rost, who was originally a department manager in Jupiter Records, and had been in Jupiter for nearly ten years, and he had been trying to persuade the company's top management to further grow the company, for which he had made several plans, but without exception he was shelved by the original boss, and because his plan touched the interests of some people in the company, plus he did not handle interpersonal relationships very well, in the original company, he had been squeezed out by other colleagues, before Jupiter was acquiredAfter Ouyang Chong went to Jupiter's head office, after a few days of consideration, Rost took out his previous reform plan for the company, modified and added some content, and then tried his luck and handed it over to Ouyang Chong. Although Ouyang Chong does not know much about the specific management and operation of the record company, after all, he has also been the boss of a group company, and his vision of seeing people is even more first-class. That's why we have this recommendation.
Lin Feng has read Rost's information, although he is only an ordinary college graduate of Meidi, but he has been working in the record company for nearly ten years, starting from the bottom step by step, and working as the current department manager, with a long time of grassroots work experience, as well as work experience in the company's middle-level department, of course, he knows the situation of Jupiter well, so after a little consideration, he agreed to this personnel appointment.
Rost, the new president of Jupiter Company, officially came to power, he did not live up to Ouyang Chong's vision, as soon as he came to power, he began to reform the company drastically, and laid off a large number of people.
With plenty of money to back it up, Jupiter poached a lot of people from other record labels. As a result, some other record companies in Meidi have become concerned about Jupiter Records, and as a result, those reporters found out that this Jupiter Records has been replaced by the now famous "Huateng International" on Wall Street To the acquisition, Jupiter, which was originally not a big name record company, because of this, a rare time on the entertainment news page and financial news page, the outside world has speculated that the acquisition of Jupiter Records, Huateng International Holding Investment Group, is not intended to use this as a base point to start a large-scale acquisition of the domestic record industry in the United States, and officially enter the entertainment industry in the United States. Sony's dominance as one of the world's top five record labels is being challenged.
For the first time, these five major record companies are actively preparing for the war, as if facing a great enemy.
It's no wonder they are so nervous, because in the past six months or so, the "Huateng International" stock trading team led by Karina has made a small fuss in the stock market on Wall Street from the beginning, to the current turbulent waves, turning clouds and rain, and has speculated the original two billion US dollars to nearly five billion, which has made many people suffer heavy losses, and also made many people get rich overnight. The cover of Time magazine has become a rising superstar and superstar in the world's financial world, her beauty and wisdom, her legend on Wall Street, has been talked about by countless people, and some magazines have selected her as the most beautiful woman in Meidi, and the most favorite partner for men and women......
Only Karina herself knows that the main reason why she was able to earn so much money in the stock market in such a short period of time is that Lin Feng, the boss, gave her very foresightful suggestions and opinions. However, because of the secrecy that Lin Feng agreed with her, she categorically would not tell the magic of her boss, and even if she said it, others might not believe it.
Karina is now more and more curious about Lin Feng, in her opinion, there are too many mysteries about this 20-year-old boss, where did he get the tens of billions of dollars of funds to found Huateng International? How did he accurately deduce the specific time of the occurrence of the stock market bubble in the United States, and the general situation in the next few days or even months? All this is a mystery. She is very much like solving this mystery, but she is now in charge of the beautiful land, and she will not have time until the end of the year to officially meet her mysterious boss.
However, she obviously didn't expect that Lin Feng was officially preparing to go to Meidi. When Lin Feng heard that Jupiter's company had almost completed its reorganization and was only about ten days away from the start of school in May, Lin Feng officially proposed to his parents that he planned to travel to the United States, explaining the reason.
Of course, Lin Dad and his wife were very surprised that their son was going to sing and release a record in the United States.
Dad Lin said even more unceremoniously: "Son." I know you love music. But according to our current net worth. You don't have to go to a foreign country to sell songs? Our family doesn't lack the money you earn. You'd better give me a peaceful reading first. Don't mess with all this stuff. ”
I heard my dad say that he was a "singer". Lin Feng was really a little speechless and injured.
Zhao Xiaoyu saw that her husband was speaking unpleasantly. Not happy anymore. He reprimanded with a straight face: "You dead old man. What does it mean to go to a foreign country to 'sell songs'? It's so ugly! This is to be ...... Yes, be that singing artist. How can this be called 'singing'. Times are different. Look at how popular singers and movie stars are now. Everywhere you go, it's like an emperor. Around a large crowd of people. Lots of scenery. Our family Xiaofeng. Go to a foreign country and sing. Making money is secondary. The main thing is to bring glory to our country. Son. Mom, right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Lin Feng gave his mother a thumbs up. "Dad. Earn foreigners' money. If you don't earn it, you don't earn it for nothing. I'm going to make money from that. To support and develop our nation's education and philanthropic industries. And. It's like my mother said. This money-making is secondary. The main thing is that I still want to fight for us Chinese
They know. We in China can also have a world great singer. ^Some of the predecessors. Out of the country, out of Asia, out of the world. Become the No. 1 in the world music scene. ”
No. 1 place meaning. Lin Dad and his wife had heard their son's explanation before. Still understandable. Because I understand. So after hearing their son's heroic words. They were all stunned. Completely stunned. Son, the world's first target. Looks a little too high. It's also somewhat unrealistic.
After the couple was stunned for a moment, Dad Lin coughed dryly, and said with a serious look: "Son, Dad and your mother both know that you are very good, just like what book you wrote before, and it is still selling well, making a lot of money for our family, but you don't have to put too much pressure and responsibility on yourself because of this, just like the saying 'what has a precedence, there is a specialization in the art industry', everyone is not perfect, like your current academic performance, writing fairy tale books, and sports results, Singing is excellent in all these aspects, it is already very, very remarkable, and your father and your mother are very proud and proud of you. What you have achieved now can be said to be unique and 'hard to break' in our country. Why bother, to be the number one in the world. ”
Mother Lin also said with a worried face: "Yes, son, you go to the beautiful land to sing a record, my mother has no objection, but you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, to be the number one in the world." It's going to be tiring, it's tiring, you're still young, you don't have to aim so high. ”
Of course, Lin Feng knew the meaning of his father's words, obviously he had no confidence in being the "unbreakable bowl" of the world music scene.
"Mom and Dad, you guys are underestimating your own son. I believe that if I officially develop in China, I will definitely become the NO1 in the Chinese music scene in less than a year, and as for the first place in the world music scene, I think it will be enough in just two years. Lin Feng said a little unashamedly, in fact, sincerely, although Lin Feng's words were a little full, he now has dozens of classic songs in his hands that will be handed down in the future, so it can be regarded as pertinent. Not to mention his parents, Lin Feng didn't need to hide his true thoughts from them.
However, Dad Lin didn't know that he didn't like his son to "sing" very much, but now when he saw his son blowing through the sky like this, he was even more unhappy in his heart, and reprimanded: "Do you think that you are lucky to be famous for singing dozens of songs in China, do you think that you are the best in the world? ”
The "wake up" that Dad Lin said is the "embroidered fried meat" that has not been used for N years.
"Well, my son is so confident, and he should be. Seeing that her son had made up her mind, Mother Lin began to support her son, "Just like when he wrote that fairy tale book, how could we have thought that it would be a big sale and bring such a huge fortune to our family? So, before our son doesn't make a result, let's not jump to conclusions too early. You have to believe that our son is a genius, this is not what we say, but now many people all over the country say so, we have to believe in our son and support him. Perhaps, in less than two years, our son will really become a 'difficult bowl' in the world music scene. ”
Lin Feng was very moved when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to hug his mother, kissed her cheek, and kissed her with a smile.
"Mom, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, you are really my real mother. Lin Feng said with some incomprehension.
"Stinky boy, of course I am your own mother, and I gave birth to you in October. Mother Lin pretended to be annoyed and glared.
"Of course, of course! You will always be my dearest mother! Lin Feng said flatteringly, while flattering her shoulder.
Lin Feng's filial piety attitude, Lin Feng's father couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Ahem, since your mother said so, then I agree in principle that you go to the United States to release records, make foreigners' money, and win glory for our country. ”
Dad Lin pretended to be majestic and made a summary of the speech. But no matter his wife Lin Ma or his son Lin Feng, they didn't have much reaction to his speech as the "head of the family".
In the end, Dad Lin glared at his son angrily, and Lin Feng barely squeezed out a smile at him and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”
"Hmm!" Dad Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, Dad is also very optimistic about your potential in music, maybe just like your mother said, you will become a 'difficult bowl' in the world music scene in less than two years." Dad is optimistic about you. ”
"Lin Feng, your dad has learned to parrot. Mother Lin couldn't help but joke.
Dad Lin said unhappily: "What is a parrot? If you don't understand idioms, don't use them indiscriminately, I'm as good as a stream, you know?"
"Yes, yes, yes, just be good. ”
Lin's mother's perfunctory attitude, as well as her son's gloating expression, made Lin's father very hurt, and every time he had a family meeting, as long as his wife made a decision, his opinion as the "head of the family" was not taken seriously. If you tell someone about it, they won't believe it. Who is his father, who is a well-known big man in Xiuzhou City and even Donghai Province, how can he be afraid of his wife and have no decision-making power at home? But in fact, he is really afraid of his wife, and of course he resolutely refuses to admit it to outsiders. In front of outsiders, Mother Lin is also very obedient to him, giving him enough face as a big man, and maintaining a good image of a good wife and mother. But at home, his wife immediately turned into a queen, and his son was one-sided, and he, the "head of the family", was the most dishonorable one in the family.
Now that the matter has been settled, Lin Feng's trip to the beautiful land is of course as soon as possible. Because there are two group companies to manage, Lin Dad can't do without this time, and Zhao Xiaoyu is not interested in going to foreign countries, Lin Feng can only go alone, of course, the necessary entourage is still needed, and the bodyguards must be brought at least six, and at the same time, for the sake of insurance, Zhang Hanjie was also brought, I just heard that he had been to Los Angeles twice before, and there were a lot of things left, so there was no need to ask a tour guide.
Before leaving, after Ariel Lin learned the news, he didn't want to be separated from Lin Feng again, and he had to go with him, Lin Feng was fighting for the consent of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he had to ask Zhang Hanjie to prepare a tourist passport.
Three days later, the group officially set off, flying first to the capital and then to Los Angeles in the United States.
