Chapter 387: Olympic Fever 41
Speaking from the heart, Chen Feng really didn't really want to go to Africa for a charity trip. But after all, he won the Nobel Prize for his significant contribution to the world of philanthropy.
Now that he has completed an unprecedented feat of charity in China, it follows that he naturally cannot patronize charity in China, but also do charity internationally and gain prestige. Otherwise, it is inevitable that people will think that he is too selfish and does not have the heart of charity and public welfare. And in this world, where is the most suitable place to do charity and public welfare, it is undoubtedly Africa. It is only in Africa that there are still many primitive tribes living on this land, and the war has not stopped on this continent to this day. Poverty and hunger go hand in hand. Famine is still a frequent.
Therefore, Chen Feng is public and private, and in the future, Chen Feng will definitely have to go to Africa.
But at least for two or three years, Chen Feng felt that he should not have time to go.
"It's too early to say Africa Charity Trip, I don't plan to go for at least two or three years. Chen Feng said honestly.
"You can't go for two or three years? You already did this charity trip in China last year, and the documentary you made has also caused a lot of repercussions around the world, and the outside world is now very much looking forward to you going to other countries to continue this kind of charity trip. First and foremost, of course, are those countries in Africa. Otherwise, the outside world will definitely think that your title of the world's number one philanthropist will have moisture. Because you only care about your home country and don't care about other countries. This gaze is a little too narrow. Aren't you afraid that people will say that about you?"
Facing Karina's questioning, Chen Feng smiled very calmly: "Charity has no borders, but philanthropists have nationality. As a Chinese, the first thing I should consider is to carry out charity in our country and help the disadvantaged groups and compatriots in our own country. And, to be honest, I really don't care too much about the title of "the world's number one philanthropist". If you really care, it may be the honor of the Nobel Ho Ping Prize. But I'm really not a very loving internationalist, so I can't make myself go to Africa in two or three years. We can only wait two or three years before that, unless, of course, there is a very major humanitarian disaster or natural disaster over there. I could have gone ahead of time. ”
"Then you just wait for others to talk about your lack of international philanthropy behind your back. ”
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent. He can donate money to Africa, but he really doesn't want to visit there and do another charity trip. Because he really isn't that great, so much love. He really wants to have extra free time to spend at home with his wife and children.
……
After returning home, Chen Feng didn't rest for long. The day after he returned, Chen Feng went with Su Yuluo to Honora's Xiuzhou headquarters.
Speaking of which, he, the chairman of the Honora company, has not come over before. This time, he came as a deity, and it immediately caused a sensation throughout the company. Because before that, people in the company didn't know that their boss was Chen Feng, a superstar.
This is the first official appearance of Chen Feng, the big boss.
Chen Feng didn't get much close to the people, and the employees of the company who tried to approach him or ask for autographs and photos did not respond to him and screamed loudly in excitement.
Just let Su Yuluo convene all the middle-level and above cadres of the company and hold a plenary meeting in the conference room. And his speech is also very simple, less than five minutes, self-introduction is exempt. It is only said that this company was created by him and his partner Dark. The next step is to explain the broad prospects of the future of the company's product, artificial intelligence robots. And then...... That's it.
In fact, if it weren't for Su Yuluo's request, he wouldn't have come to Honora Company this time, let alone take the initiative to introduce himself to his subordinates in the company.
And the reason for this is, of course, only Chen Feng himself knows, and his rejection of the company Honora in his heart is better than that of Blue Aurora.
If it is not good to directly destroy the operation of Honora's company, he really wants to destroy this company with his own hands, and then completely destroy the project of this artificial intelligence robot.
But he couldn't do it because of the almost omniscient dark. Even if he destroyed the company with his own hands now, Dark would be able to start a new business in other parts of the world. And it is even more difficult for him to know more about the inside story and core technology of intelligent robots. If something happens in the future, he will not be able to correct and remedy it in time.
After Chen Feng met with the middle-level and above cadres in the Honora company, he did not stay any longer and left directly.
And then he went to his studio.
knocked on the door and entered my cousin's office, and after the assistant Gao Yan brought them tea, she withdrew.
"The main reason for calling you here is to report to you in person about the current main business situation of our studio. Before, the income from your charity trip documentary has also been received one after another, and we have counted it and obtained a total of 3.265 billion national dollars. In cooperation with the Imperial Court, we have obtained a total of almost 500 million national dollars, of which the main one is the advertising share income, and the main income of other countries also mainly comes from the advertising share. However, in some countries, advertising revenue has not been negotiated, mainly because the advertising revenue is not high, and they only take copyright fees. Otherwise, the income should be more this time. ”
Chen Feng listened to his cousin's report, and although he expected it, he was also a little speechless. Because his previous charity trip was originally intended to spend 10 billion US dollars, but in the end, it was more than 5 billion yuan after a rough calculation...... The national currency is far inferior to his original spending plan. Even if he counts poverty alleviation, it will probably be more than 10 billion national dollars, which is a big difference.
If you add the aerospace logistics he "ambitious" set up, plus the real estate investment on the side of Xingwang Group, it can barely be an extra 10 billion...... National currency.
Obviously, Chen Feng far underestimated the "huge" of 10 billion US dollars, and wanted to spend it well, but he couldn't spend it.
Of course, this is mainly related to the fact that Chen Feng did not throw money everywhere indiscriminately, otherwise he would spend a lot of money on local roads wherever he went, especially for those poor mountainous areas, then 10 billion US dollars would be really good to spend.
But if that's the case, it's a waste. Nor is it necessary. What's more, this road and bridge construction is mainly a matter of the state, and it is nothing for him to donate a road in a local area. If you spend a lot of money to build roads everywhere, waste is one aspect. It may also cause dissatisfaction among some local political axe departments, because there is a suspicion of overstepping the bounds. Even if he does good deeds, sometimes he offends people by doing good deeds.
"In addition, some of the peripheral products sold in our studio, such as your posters, puppets, ornaments, etc., in addition to giving them to your fans, are selling very well in several specialty stores that we piloted. Often, things just arrive and sell out right away. At present, in the past few months, the total income has also reached more than 5.6 million......"
This kind of special sale of Chen Feng's obvious peripheral products is mainly due to the fact that there are too many pirated copies in China. Previously, Chen Feng gave his portrait rights to the third class company free of charge, that is, the collective company formed by him and his middle school classmates in the name of the class. This company mainly makes Chen Feng's cartoon puppets, as well as student stationery, and the business has been very good so far.
However, there are too many other various products in China that do not have portrait licenses, including Chen Feng's posters, commemorative medals, etc.
In view of this, the studio plans to develop the peripheral products around Chen Feng on its own, and also set up stores in the country and even the world.
"So, I now feel the need to set up a multinational group of companies specifically for this purpose. Specializing in the production and operation of all peripheral products related to you. If you agree, I'll take care of it right away. ”
Of course, Chen Feng agrees with this, and he can't let those pirate merchants use his name and portrait to sell all kinds of his peripheral products at will. However, while nodding his head in agreement, he also said: "I have previously licensed my portrait rights to Class 3 Company for free, which is a company that I established with my middle school classmates. Now this company mainly deals in my anime puppets and stationery products. ”
"I've known about this three-shift company for a long time. I know what you mean, we don't make and sell the same products as the third shift company. ”
When Chen Feng heard this, he didn't say anything anymore.
Zhao Xiaoyu then reported to him some things in the studio, and finally said: "Now your main itinerary is about the Olympics in August. The outside world is also very concerned and looking forward to your words and deeds about the Olympics now. Now their main concern is whether the theme song of the Olympics that you wrote is selected and what kind of song it is. Then there's your performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, in addition to singing the Olympic theme song live, of course, it's about the main torchbearer. Now your call to be the torchbearer is the highest. Several other candidates are not a threat to you at all. If you want to be the cauldron and light the flame when the time comes, we can fight for it a little bit. It's definitely yours. What do you think?"
Chen Feng shook his head lightly and said, "It's not good." As I said before, I didn't have much interest in participating in the Olympic song collection, singing the theme song, and being the main torchbearer. Now I have no choice but to participate in the first two, but the last one, I really don't want to fight for anything. Let's leave it to the older generation of sportsmen. For example, the prince of gymnastics, I think he is very good. ”
"Well, I knew you still had that attitude. Now in the outside world, except for you, it is true that the voice of the prince of gymnastics back then is the highest. That's you, or he's the torchbearer. Let's not talk about that, but now let's talk about the theme song of the Olympics. I've asked Miyuki to find someone to inquire about you in the capital before, and now your candidacy for "Heart to Heart" is undoubtedly the highest. But I heard that there are big people on it who think the other song is better and more in line with the theme. Then, most of the Olympic Organizing Committee also said that the song was more appropriate, and of course there were people on your side. In short, the situation is a bit stalemate here. No one wants to take risks, and no one wants to offend either side, so no one can make a real decision now. ”
Chen Feng frowned and said, "Do you know the title of another song, and who is the author?"
"I contacted Miyuki about this matter and asked her to inquire about it. Another song is still under secrecy, the same as your "Heart to Heart", and the secrecy level is still high. Therefore, she did not inquire about more specific and detailed information now. However, she said that she will continue to help you pay attention and inquire, and will notify us as soon as there is news. ”
"Do you know who the author of that song is?"
Zhao Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I know this." Said to be a musician in France. It's a little famous over there, but when it comes to our country, it's a very great master. I heard that it was Zhang Yimo, the chief director, who invited him over and appointed him as the music director of the opening ceremony. Therefore, if you really want to say that this musician is thick-skinned enough, he himself is the music director of the opening ceremony, but he doesn't know the least suspicion and fearful words, but some guards and self-stealing feelings also participated in the collection of the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. This is obviously a violation in that industry. But now he looks like someone is covered, and he is still a big man above. I heard that it is in charge of spiritual civilization and culture. This big man is supporting him, so even if your godfather stands up to support you now, I think it will be more difficult. ”
Chen Feng originally guessed that it should be the music director, but now that it has been confirmed, of course, he didn't feel any surprise, but the corners of his mouth smiled disdainfully and said: "This person also called me before, asking me to write a song casually to participate in the election, which can be other songs of this Olympic Games." For example, the theme song of the volunteers, the theme song of the torch relay, the theme song of the Paralympic Games, and so on. ”
When Zhao Xiaoyu heard that there was such a thing, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said angrily: "Then this person is really good." Such a person actually came to be a music director. Isn't this a clear attempt not to allow you to participate in the call for the theme song of the opening ceremony?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly sarcastically: "Some people can not care about money, or even power, but they undoubtedly care about their own name before and after their death. And the identity and aura of the creator of the Olympic theme song, glory is too attractive to some people. Because it can make people famous and go down in history. As I am now, people who are destined to go down in history, go down in history, and have a global reputation don't care. (To be continued.) )
