Chapter 565: Arrival in England
After the rookie singing contest ended, Zhou Huimin originally wanted to report the good news to Han Jin as soon as possible, but after the phone call, she learned that Han Jin had already taken a plane to the UK at this time, which couldn't help but make her feel lost.
Although Han Jin left Hong Kong, the aftershocks are still unsettled. After "poaching at a sky-high price", Yongsheng Entertainment plans to acquire the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and for a while, the Hong Kong media are inexplicably excited. Unexpectedly, there will be waves of unevenness, and there will be good shows, which is really exciting.
The media rushed to report on the incident, cheering Han Jin for sending them another news hotspot.
But Lei Juekun, the boss behind Princess Jin, was overwhelmed by Han Jin's hand.
The Golden Princess Cinema Line is composed of three major families, Lei Juekun, Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei, among which Lei Juekun has the most cinemas and the most powerful strength. Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei are second, so Lei Juekun has always been talking about things in the Golden Princess Cinema.
It's just that Hong Kong movies are booming now, and film companies of all sizes are making money, so Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei are gradually becoming more discouraged, and they are impatient to see Lei Juekun alone again.
Therefore, in the past two years, there have been many small actions behind the scenes, the dissolution of the seven-member group of Xinyi City, and Xu Ke's opening of another film studio, both of which have the shadow of Feng Chen and the others behind them.
Originally, the two had already turned against each other, and now if they sell the theater to Han Jin, it will definitely be no less than luring a wolf into the house, then the Golden Princess Theater will be too dangerous.
"What does this Han Jin want to do, it's not enough to poach the corners in front, and now he wants to dig my theater again?" Lei Juekun asked depressedly.
"Lei Sheng, don't get excited." "I guessed a little bit of what he was thinking. ”
"You speak." Lei Juekun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked.
"His previous 'sky-high price poaching' seems to be to force Jiahe back to the negotiating table. I think it seems that this time we moved our theater for this reason. Mai Jia explained.
Lei Juekun was stunned for a moment, "He is doing so many things just to do this thing?!" What's so good about it? ”
If Han Jin wants to use this alliance to become the hegemon of the Hong Kong film industry, he is already now. Hundreds of millions of dollars in capital are piled up there. Unless a giant like Shao Yifu comes out again, who can fight him to get rich?!
In Hong Kong's capitalist society, whoever has money has a big fist. Hundreds of millions of dollars are smashed, Lei Juekun has the heart to sell the new art city, will he compete with him for the position of overlord? !
"Lei Sheng, it stands to reason that you are also rich. Why are you so afraid of him? Ishida asked suspiciously.
As the chairman of the Kowloon Bus Company and Kowloon Development, Lei Juekun has a net worth of more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not inferior to Han Jin, why does it seem that he is so jealous of him now? !
"My money is all fixed assets, how can I compare to him. Almost all of it is liquidity?! Don't say you want me to come up with 30 million US dollars now, even if you ask me to take 30 million Hong Kong dollars, I have to borrow from the bank now. Lei Juekun said, "How can you fight him like this?!" ”
"Besides, I'm not as generous as him, he makes money easily, a few songs sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, and you can take money instead of money. My money has been passed down from generation to generation, and every penny is stained with blood and sweat. He dared to pay $30 million to poach people. I can't even come up with three million dollars. Lei Juekun said honestly.
Now think about it, 30 million US dollars, say smash out. The magnanimity of the shot made him feel creepy.
You must know that even if you buy a homestead of more than 100,000 square feet in the New Territories, you won't need so much money.
Seeing that Lei Juekun thought that he was not as good as Han Jin, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. But any courtier who fights the world with the boss, who doesn't want the boss to be high-spirited and ambitious. has the ambition to win the world, and he can also make a fortune from the dragon. In the future, you will soar and bless your descendants?!
But now I see that Lei Juekun has no fighting spirit in the face of Han Jin's provocation. voluntarily admitting defeat, and didn't even dare to use funds to win those theaters with Han Jin, the three people present couldn't help but sigh a little, knowing that Lei Juekun was really old.
Seeing this scene, Ishida had the idea of quitting. He has been using the money he has earned to speculate in stocks in the past two years, and he has made a lot of profits, which has exceeded the income brought to him by Xinyicheng.
Now that he sees that the boss Lei Juekun is willing to admit defeat, he also feels that Xinyicheng has no head. In addition, in the past two years, Xinyi City has also had frequent infighting, and it can be noisy just for a Spring Festival schedule, and Ishida also feels that he is really tired and wants to quit to enjoy Qingfu.
"Even the boss has no fighting spirit, what are we still fighting?" This is Ishida's idea, and it is also the idea of Mai Jia and Huang Baiming.
In fact, Lui Juekun also has his own difficulties, Kowloon Motor Bus is Lui Juekun's main business, but in recent years, the Hong Kong government has implemented profit control, restricting the annual return rate of Kowloon Bus to no more than 16%, so that the stock price of KMB has fallen into a long-term weak state since then.
Kowloon Development, on the other hand, is facing strong competition from emerging property developers, far behind Hutchison Whampoa, Henderson Land, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Chinachem Properties, etc.
Lei Juekun pumped water from Xinyi City several times to rescue Kowloon Jianye, although he barely maintained the development of Kowloon Jianye, but it was impossible to get tens of millions of dollars in one breath like Han Jin.
So it's not that he doesn't want to fight, but he really doesn't have to fight! Unless hundreds of millions of dollars fall from the sky on him, all this is not to be discussed.
"Boss, since this is the case, let's go back to the negotiation table, at least in this way, our new art city can hold on for a few more years. Otherwise, when he buys the two theaters of Feng and Chen, I am afraid that there will not be much rush with Princess Jin's theaters alone. Mai Jia said.
To engage in a cinema chain, you must have a certain scale, and if there is only * theater, it cannot be called a cinema chain. If Princess Jin loses Feng Chen's two theaters, then this theater line is equivalent to existing in name only.
"Well, it seems that this is the only way to do it now." Lei Juekun nodded and said, "Mai Jia, Bai Ming, you two should go back and contact Yongsheng." If he agrees that we will return to the negotiating table, it will be the best news for us. ”
"I see, boss." Mai Jia nodded.
……
Just when the negotiations on the third-line alliance restarted, Han Jin had already brought Zeta Jones and Guan Zhilin to the UK again. There were also more than 20 people with his backup dancers, hairstylists, beauticians, etc.
His current identity is also very different. For the first two months, he was just a well-known singer in the Far East. But now that he's a shareholder of Sony Records, and he's a world-renowned artist, he's naturally different in terms of pomp and circumstance.
It is still EMI Records that is responsible for receiving him, although Han Jin is a shareholder of Sony Records. But he released his album in the UK, still through EMI Records.
There is no contradiction in this, Sony Records' shareholder is only his private capacity, and he is now a contracted singer of Huaxing Records, and Huaxing Records has also authorized EMI Records to be responsible for all commercial affairs of Han Jin in the UK. There is no contradiction in this.
EMI Records also knew that Han Jin's current identity was extraordinary, so he was also very courteous in his reception. Not only arranged a five-star hotel for him. And his entourage also stayed in a four-star hotel. Unlike the last time Han Jin came to participate in the Save Africa concert, he stayed in an express hotel.
"Han, long time no see." The manager of EMI Records greeted him personally.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, long time no see." Han Jin also smiled.
Smith looked at Han Jin's current pomp. There is always a sense that things are wrong. Two months ago, he was just a singer, and now he has become a shareholder of Sony Records, a change that is truly surprising.
You must know that Sony Records' market value is more than one billion US dollars, how Han Jin can become its shareholder is really puzzling.
"Han, I heard that you sold a batch of songs to Sony Records the other day?" Smith asked curiously.
"Yes, how. You all know about it in the UK? Han Jin asked with a smile.
"Just kidding, such a big thing has caused a sensation in the world music scene. How could we not know. Smith laughed, "It's strange to me what song you sold them to become a shareholder?!" ”
Han Jin smiled, "Don't be curious, I believe you will be able to catch a glimpse of it soon." ”
As far as he knew. Sony Records is now selling his songs around. Eight hundred and twenty A-grade songs cannot be completely digested by Sony Records alone. Even if it can be digested off. It also takes too much time.
Therefore, licensing to other record companies is the best way for it to make money as soon as possible. Including Michael. Jackson, Madonna, Steve. Wanda, Lionar. Rich and other singers. All received music samples, and all expressed interest in singing. It is expected that by the end of the year, a new single will be released.
"You're really good at selling off." Seeing that Han Jin didn't say a word, Smith couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Han Jin also smiled, and after greeting him, he asked about his concert, "How is it, Mr. Smith, there is still a week to go, is my stage set up?" ”
"It's being built, don't worry, it's going to be built in time, they're looking for the best construction team in Europe." Smith said.
"Oh, okay. I hope it will be done soon, and I can take my people to the rehearsal. Han Jin said.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to supervise me at any time." Mr. Smith said.
This time the concert performance company is the company, which is the largest concert organizer in Europe, and has hosted the Rolling Stones, Queen, The Beatles, Elton. In concerts of well-known singers such as John, big-name singers like to work with them.
"Okay, then I'll take someone to the hotel first. After a day on the plane, I just want to fall asleep now. Han Jin said.
"In that case, in terms of the media, can I help you arrange it until tomorrow?" Smith asked again.
Han Jin is now a world-renowned singer, and this time he came to the UK to hold his first concert, naturally many media wanted to interview him. At the same time, everyone is also very curious about his sudden becoming a shareholder of Sony Records, and they want to dig into the hidden secrets.
"It's fine." Han Jin nodded.
At the airport, Han Jin took Zeta Jones and Guan Zhilin to the Imperial Hotel in London, and the other staff went to the Milt four-star hotel. Although the two hotels are relatively close to each other, they are two sizes.
After checking in, Han Jin took the two beauties into the room.
"Wow, a five-star hotel is different from a four-star hotel, it's much more magnificent." Guan Zhilin said with a smile.
Han Jin also nodded, it is true that the supporting facilities of a five-star hotel are much more than those on the four-star wall, and they feel much more luxurious.
Of course, the price of a five-star is much higher than that of a four-star.
A suite in a four-star hotel costs only 200 pounds per night, but a suite in a five-star hotel costs more than 500 pounds, which is more than half the price.
Despite this, Han Jin still chose a five-star hotel. With his current net worth, a few hundred pounds is no longer a problem. It's only once in life, so why not enjoy it as much as possible.
"Wow, the bathroom in this room is so big, it's no problem for three people." Zeta-Jones said suddenly.
"So what are we waiting for?" Han Jin said with a smile.
Guan Zhilin threw a wink, "Dead Phase~" (to be continued)
