Chapter 306 Assets
Chen Lang was concentrating on his own learning in school, thinking that it would reduce a lot of exposure, but things were completely opposite.
In July, Chen Lang's latest novel "Ghost Blows the Lantern" set off a wave of tomb robbing, and countless fans of the novel were fascinated by the mysterious and exciting adventures in his novels.
Chen Lang once again created a new genre of fiction, so that everyone can only wonder how many whimsical ideas are still in Chen Lang's brain.
In August and September, the talks between China and Britain focused all attention on the negotiations concerning Hong Kong's future, but after the talks ended without any substantive results, the lives of the general public of Hong Kong returned to peace.
Huaxing Records released its first album "Red Temptation" for Anita Mui in September, and achieved two platinum sales, and Huaxing was quite satisfied with this result, but he also knew that it was almost impossible to have another Chen Lang-style miracle.
After Chen Lang decided to go all out to study in preparation for skipping grades, Huaxing, in order to continue to expand his influence and attractiveness, broke the news that Chen Lang's second record sold more than 2.6 million copies, and the whole Hong Kong was amazed for a while.
"Lang Lang's first album "Lang Lang Qiankun" shocked everyone when it achieved 5 platinum sales in Hong Kong, and when everyone learned that this record had achieved 1.9 million cumulative sales across Asia, everyone was shocked and speechless.
Chan Long is a miracle in the Hong Kong music scene, he is a rare singer and songwriter, especially the songs he writes are excellent in every song, and his musical talent surpasses everyone else.
But the 2.6 million sales on his second album were still incredible, and I'm curious to see how many sales his third album would have. —Huang Zhan
"I always knew that Lang Lang was a genius, and it can be seen from the quality and sales of his debut records, but the sales of more than 4.5 million copies of the two records are still too appalling.
In Hong Kong, I can still rely on my old qualifications to overpower him, but in Asia, the gap between the two of us is already so huge, and sure enough, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the future Hong Kong and Asian music scenes will definitely belong to Lang Lang. —Xu Guanjie
"I have long said that my brother is a unique genius, and he may not be at the top of his singing skills, but his extraordinary creative ability, as well as his amazing dancing ability and handsome appearance have brought him extraordinary popularity and influence, and now he is enough to compare with me.
What's even more terrifying is that he is still a genius who constantly works hard, or it won't be long before his singing skills go further and when he becomes more famous, he will become a well-deserved king of Asia's first day. —Teresa Teng
……
"Catchy" sold more than 2.6 million sales in Asia, which was like dropping a nuclear bomb on the Hong Kong music scene, shocking everyone stunned, not to mention the envy and jealousy of many local record companies in Hong Kong, even international giant record companies such as Polygram, EMI, and Warner also suffered from pink eye.
The record company with small capital can only sigh that Huaxing has gone lucky and signed Lang Lang, who was only a draft champion at the time, but the three major international record giants want to secretly contact Chen Lang and want to take this rising Asian superstar under their own.
Now Chen Lang has only released two records, and neither his singing skills nor popularity have reached the peak, and once these conditions are ripe, no one can really predict how much Chen Lang's sales of a record will reach, but the sales of 1.9 million copies of the first record and the sales of 2.6 million copies of the second record are enough to cause a beautiful association.
For this reason, Chen Lang's parents and even his sister Chen Yun have received a lot of invitations and hints, which can surprise Huaxing Records into a cold sweat, and even Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung are nervous, because now Chen Lang's attraction to singers is too great.
Chen Lang wrote the song "Red Temptation" for Anita Mui, which successfully sold two platinums, allowing Anita Mui to gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong music scene and taste the taste of popularity, and Leslie Cheung, who was already coming for Chen Lang, was naturally full of expectations after seeing Anita Mui, it can be said that now Chen Lang is a treasure in the eyes of everyone in Huaxing, and no one can easily move.
Fortunately, Chen Shufen and Chen Lang have been together for a long time and know Chen Lang's character, so they just made a phone call to communicate with Chen Lang and then felt at ease.
During this period, LL Publishing House, which had changed its name, paid Chen Lang a dividend on the sales of "Zhu Xian" in Japan, and Zhu Xian sold 540,000 copies in Japan, and with sales in other parts of Asia, the physical book of "Zhu Xian" successfully exceeded 2 million copies.
At the same time, LL Entertainment Commodities in Hong Kong and Taiwan has 18 Lang Lang stores up to now, plus the production factory that has just taken over, Haishan Rolling Stone Records, which has successfully released two records, and Vinyl Record Factory, which has opened the channels of major record companies, have brought Chen Lang a total of nearly 15 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue.
The comic "Zhu Xian" also brought Chen Lang a huge income.
In general, Chen Lang's net worth has exceeded 35 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is a veritable multimillionaire, but unfortunately, the Hong Kong dollar is now depreciating, and the exchange rate with the US dollar has become 5.2:1.
For this reason, Chen Lang also specially analyzed the composition of his income sources, and found that the most income still comes from records.
The most important of the benefits brought by records is now the dividends from the sales of their own records, and then the sales of records of Oceanine Rolling Stone Records and the income from the production of black records for other record companies.
Of course, the main reason now is that Haishan Rolling Stone has not yet developed and grown, otherwise the income brought to himself in the future will definitely exceed the income of Chen Lang's own records, even if Chen Lang's record sales exceed 5 million, it is impossible to compare with the sales of all singers in a company, but it will take time.
The second is the income brought by the comic "Zhu Xian", although the piracy of the comic is very serious now, but basically the single book of each episode can still bring Chen Lang about 3 million Hong Kong dollars in income, and it is an explosive income within two or three months.
Different from the explosive income of comics, the more stable income comes from the income brought by the sale of various entertainment products.
Eighteen companies are Lang Lang Kun, ten in Hong Kong can now have an income of about 200,000 yuan a month, and Taiwan's is just starting, and the monthly income of each store is less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, but I believe that sales will increase a lot after a while.
As for the income of 300 yuan per thousand words for serializing novels in "Oriental Daily", it is now basically negligible.
For the fact that in just two and a half years, it has become a company with 35 million funds, and also has fixed assets such as record companies, publishing houses, Lang Lang Qiankun stores, and production factories, Chen Lang has to sigh that the entertainment industry is really a hugely profitable industry, which has not yet formed a complete industrial chain.
It is no wonder that those collectivized media empires like the later generations, after having a fully mature industrial chain, create tens of billions of profits every year, and they are dollars.
Hearing Chen Lang's description and the huge assets that really existed in front of him, Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Yun were also excited, this is the ultimate goal of the Chen family in the future.
Thinking about it in his previous life, as an ordinary office worker, he was a house slave and a car slave, and now after being a rich man, I know that the richer a rich person is, the easier it is to increase his wealth than ordinary people, of course, he must also have a certain mind, as for Chen Lang, who has a golden finger, let alone that.
After roughly calculating his family background, Chen Lang had more ideas, "Because of the Sino-British negotiations, the Hong Kong dollar is becoming less and less valuable now, and we should hurry up and convert the Hong Kong dollar into US dollars." ”
"Hehe, I have already converted these deposits into US dollars, and the exchange ratio was not yet 5:1 when I exchanged them, so now our family has more than 7 million US dollars." Father Chen said with a smile, obviously a little complacent about his clever move.
"It's still Dad's great." Chen Lang looked at his father's somewhat proud look and shook his head and smiled, "I don't know when the Hong Kong dollar will stop depreciating." ”
"I'm afraid no one knows about this, but the impact of the Hong Kong dollar has been depreciating like this, and when it reaches a certain point, the government should intervene." Chen's father thought for a while and said, "If you know when the Hong Kong dollar depreciates the most, you may be able to make a lot of money." ”
"Who knows, if you have a chance, you can only do this if you don't have a chance." Chen Lang shrugged and said, "But it's not a way to keep money in the bank, you still have to spend it." How much does a five-story office building cost? ”
"An office building?" Chen's mother was puzzled, "Lang Lang, do you want to use this money to buy an office building, and then let all our companies move together?" ”
"Yes, I feel that it is better to exchange money for real estate, it just so happens that the Hong Kong dollar is depreciating now, and I heard that many rich people are selling their assets to prepare to emigrate abroad, so we can take advantage of it." Chen Lang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, the price is definitely lower now than in the past, and it is easy to manage for everyone to work together, and the money is also depreciating, so it is better to buy some real estate now." Father Chen nodded.
"Then it was decided, when the time comes, LL Entertainment Commodities Company and LL Publishing House will be brought together, and another Lang Lang Qiankun flagship store will be opened at the same time." Chen Lang suggested.
