Chapter 141: A Completely Different State of Mind
Since then, Ou Guohua's coveting of Xingfeng Group has come to an end.
It's not that Ou Guohua doesn't want to, it's just that he really has the intention to kill the thief and can't return to the sky.
If you want to control Xingfeng Entertainment and get back Ou Junlang's brokerage contract, then Ou Guohua's controlling ratio must surpass Chen Feng and become the largest shareholder.
But according to the current valuation, and then considering the premium that must be paid by some companies in the rising stage of forced mergers and acquisitions, then even if he only needs 47.5% of the shares, the opening price will have to exceed 4 billion.
The amount of funds is so huge that even Ouhe Group will break its bones.
"Dad, do you think I want to ask Master to talk to you again?"
Ou Junlang rubbed his face and asked.
Ou Guohua pointed out the door, "If you don't want to be beaten again, just get out of here!" ”
However, even if Ou Guohua still wants to talk to Chen Feng, he has no chance.
On the second day of the outbreak of Xingfeng Entertainment, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei stepped on the plane to Los Angeles again.
This time, the two did not bring Meng Xiaozhou as a translator.
This time it is not a business cooperation, and there is no formal negotiation.
Zhong Lei's English is basically qualified, and Chen Feng has also improved a lot by leaps and bounds, and the basic communication is barrier-free.
The two walked out of the Los Angeles airport side by side.
Zhong Lei looked at Chen Feng with a very embarrassed gaze, "I said you don't have to accompany me, I'll go directly to the academy to report." Then I went into retreat, and I didn't plan to go out for three months. ”
Chen Feng shook his head and only said, "I'm not at ease, I have to watch you settle down." ”
Zhong Lei had no way to deal with his inexplicable stubbornness.
I don't really understand it, but this feeling is pretty good.
Although Los Angeles is a big city, the layout of the whole city is very scattered, with the first district in the east and the first district in the west.
The Mason College where Zhong Lei chose to study this time is nearly 80 kilometers away from the airport, surrounded by mountains and seas, and the environment is quiet.
As a privately run music college, Mason Academy is well-known all over the world, and it is unique in cultivating advanced knowledge of music theory and various musical instruments, as well as emotional capture during creation.
However, the fee is also expensive, and the cost of a three-month training for one person is as high as 200,000 US dollars.
Since Zhong Lei is the creator of "Self Burning", she already has some fame here, and the other party has a 50% discount at his discretion, only 100,000 yuan.
The two didn't wait long before a Mercedes-Benz Vito drove smoothly.
The black driver jumped from above, first looked down at the photo, then craned his neck to look around, and quickly found the two men at the airport gate.
Get in the car and go.
The black driver was extraordinarily enthusiastic and talked eloquently along the way.
However, Zhong Lei is only enthusiastic about Chen Feng, and is not very interested in dealing with strangers.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Chen Feng had to speak barely enough English to talk to the driver who spoke like a rap.
In fact, Chen Feng was also quite absent-minded, he was thinking about his own business.
The reason why he came to Los Angeles with him was that he was worried about Zhong Lei's safety was only one of them.
Another reason is that he hasn't decided whether to instill the idea of the Golden Record to Zhong Lei this time.
If it is to be done, how to implement it can not only achieve the goal, but also not interfere with and limit her ability, and maximize the success rate.
When it comes to future operations, it seems simple, but in fact it is fine.
Even if you don't pay attention to the wrong word, you can make everything go down.
With less than ten days left before the next time he crossed over, Chen Feng decided to take a break from his mind these days so that he could seriously ponder this important decision.
Suddenly, the black driver's tone became high-pitched.
"Hey, buddy, do you see the villa area on the hill over there?"
Chen Feng didn't look over, on the hillside on the left side of the vehicle, rows of gorgeous single-family villas were built one after another, which was both grand and elegant.
Chen Feng nodded, "It's beautiful." ”
"yes, look to the right, it's the Pacific Ocean! You know how wonderful it is when you push open the back door of your living room, walk into the backyard, stand by your own pool, and look up at the Pacific Ocean. You can also party, and the beauties of all over L.A. want to come here and see the world. When the time comes, the beach, the sun, the hot babes, the wild party...... You can't find anything better in the world. ”
Chen Feng nodded, "It's great." ”
He began to think seriously, when he turned around, he would be empty, or he would really come here to buy one.
Whether he's here for a vacation or to open up a new sphere of influence, he'll always need a base to settle in.
If you want to influence the future more accurately at the level of science and technology, you must not be able to avoid this country.
Los Angeles, New York and Oakland are also three important cities that cannot be avoided.
"Dude, don't you want to know, what is the name of this villa?"
Chen Feng looked down at the map on his phone, "I know, Xingang Beach." ”
"That's right! This is Newport Beach! Do you watch basketball? Do you know Kobe Bryant? His home is here. You can be neighbors with Kobe! Okay friend, here's my business card, I actually have a job besides driving for Mason College. I'm one of the top 10 real estate agents in Los Angeles. If you are interested in buying a villa in Xingangtan, Mr. Chen, you must be right to look for me. ”
Chen Feng took the business card and looked back again, his eyes flickering and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
Arriving at Mason College, the two of them were greeted by one of the college's instructors, Ms. Lesna.
Chen Feng accompanied him in to help Zhong Lei settle the room, which was a single dormitory with good conditions.
As for Chen Feng himself, he plans to open a suite in the hotel opposite.
Lesna was surprised by the arrival of Chen Feng, the boss.
It is still very rare for an artist to come to training and be accompanied by the boss in person.
Lesna was even more shocked to hear that the boss was also an amazing music producer.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Tomorrow, the Grammy jury will have a party in Beverly Hills." I have here an invitation to pass on to Ms. Chung, inviting her, the creator of Self Burning, to attend. However, I have a private invitation quota, and I can invite another male companion to accompany me, Mr. Chen Feng, is it convenient for you? ”
Chen Feng thought about it for three seconds and nodded, "Okay." ”
He agreed, and let Zhong Lei next to him stop talking.
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the mentor, who was about forty years old, said goodbye and left, and left each other's numbers with Chen Feng before leaving, and threw a wink, if Chen Feng didn't have a Twitter account, she probably wanted to add a Twitter or something.
Then the mentor swayed his waist and twisted away.
Although she is not young, she is in good shape and does not look old.
In this country, upper-middle-class people like her, especially beautiful women, are very strict about self-management of their bodies and bodies.
Zhong Lei spat lightly.
It's really hard for her to adapt to the unrestrained people here.
"You want to go to a party?" Zhong Lei asked.
Chen Feng nodded, "The Grammys are famous, and the people invited to a small-scale party like this, in addition to the judges and members of the organizing committee, should all be well-known singers or producers here, and their rank is not low." Making more of these kinds of people is good for the company and an opportunity for us to expand our reach. ”
"Well, okay then. But when the time comes, you go in with her, and you have to be with me when you go in. ”
Chen Feng nodded, "Don't worry, I won't give those playboys a chance to hook up with you." ”
Zhong Lei smiled sweetly.
In fact, she didn't want to go, but Chen Feng agreed first, she felt that if she didn't go, she wouldn't worry.
After all, in her heart, Chen Feng's creative ability is too amazing.
Once his identity and creative ability are known, Chen Feng will instantly become a walking hormone.
In the relatively restrained domestic environment, those new female artists can't resist his "charm", let alone Europe and the United States, where the atmosphere is more open.
So Zhong Lei wants to keep an eye on him for everyone, and can't let him indulge in Hollywood's drunken gold fans.
Well.
But instead, he said that he wanted to stare at himself, and Zhong Lei's feeling in his heart was very good.
As the most prestigious music award in the world, the Grammys are not limited to the European and American music scenes.
Many celebrities in the Chinese music scene are even more obsessed with this.
Even if they can only get a back seat in the hall of the awards ceremony, these Chinese stars will invite photographers at their own expense, buy some photos with good angles at the price of thousands of dollars a photo, take them for refinement, and then make them into a full-network draft, and scatter them all over the sky.
Or if you don't have the qualifications to participate in the awards ceremony, then even if you just find a corner of the crowd, pretend to be very popular, put on a rented dress, take a few gorgeous photos, and then come up with a title like "XX Invited to the Grammys, Glamour the Crowd, and the Aura is Not Inferior to Madonna".
This is a symbol of status and rank.
Even if it's rubbing, you have to rub it.
However, only large-scale award ceremonies can be rubbed, and small-scale parties with extremely high ranks like this will hardly invite people who are not enough.
After all, when others talk about parties, the purpose is to socialize with each other and expand their network.
Useless connections, others chatting with you for a few more days, are a waste of life.
Music producers like Chen Feng, who have just risen and are in the stage of exploding inspiration, are the real high-quality connections that everyone wants.
Chen Feng didn't take it very seriously, he should eat and drink, and the next day he and Zhong Lei went to a luxury store to buy a few high-grade clothes, and let the black driver drive around yesterday, went to Staples Stadium to watch a Lakers game, and then visited a lot of attractions.
It wasn't until party time was approaching that the tutor called and urged the two to ask the driver to turn around and drive to Beverly Hills.
Hearing that they still had to drive, the female tutor advised: "It's only an hour and a half before five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's easy to get stuck in traffic during rush hour in Los Angeles." There's a private helicopter rental company within five kilometers of where you're at this point, and it's best to take a helicopter to Beverly, which will be there in about forty minutes. ”
Zhong Lei seemed to be a little moved, and Chen Feng vetoed, "No." I don't really like helicopters. ”
The other party said, "Then you will be late!" Will be at least an hour late! ”
Chen Feng asked rhetorically, "Is it because you can't enter the venue if you're late?" If that's the case, there's no way around it. ”
"No, it's just that I have a few friends here, and everyone wants to communicate with you more. You know, everybody's on a tight schedule and hectic schedules. ”
Chen Feng said: "Ms. Lesna, I understand your feelings, and thank you very much for your introduction. But I don't have to force myself to do things I don't like in order to satisfy other people's time. I really don't want to fly in a helicopter if I don't have to. It's our responsibility that we didn't get the timing right, I apologize to you, and I'm willing to take the consequences. If it's really inconvenient, then we won't come, I'm sorry......"
"Oh no, no, no! Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant. We will wait for you. ”
The other side was so frightened that he quickly hung up the phone.
Zhong Lei covered her mouth and smiled, "You are so arrogant." It's clear that we are at fault. ”
Chen Feng shrugged, "I'll bet a hundred yuan." The people who wait for us will not only not get angry, but will pay more attention to us, believe it or not? ”
"Okay, okay, I know! If you have the ability, you are not afraid to go all over the world. Zhong Lei spread her hands angrily, "I'm just worried that this will have an adverse impact on the company." ”
Chen Feng shook his head, "No, this is the most efficient." ”
Zhong Lei was silent.
Here it is again, the familiar smell of "hurry", I don't know what he's nervous about.
Chen Feng was very arrogant here, and he didn't care about the slow traffic jam when he was late.
On the other side, outside the gate of the wall of a $40 million mansion in Beverly Hills, there was a group of Chen Feng's compatriots who had come from afar.
There were about a dozen people in this group, including three or four young men and women, dressed fashionably, with exquisite makeup, and standard small flowers and fresh meat.
At this time, they were chattering around the head of the party's organizers, the personal butler of the owner of the mansion.
The main speaker was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
If you are familiar with the domestic entertainment industry or reporters here, you can recognize it.
This is the No. 2 shareholder of Zhongyi Entertainment Company, Vice Chairman Wang Xilei.
In the domestic entertainment industry, he can also be regarded as a big man of his word.
But here, his face is not so good.
The few fresh meat flowers and big names he brought with him who were so big in China that they traveled with at least 100 bodyguards and punched fans and kicked them on the hot search list had no status.
The butler was impatient, and several times tried to turn around and go back.
Another "intermediary" who was a lobbyist next to him repeatedly grabbed him.
Because of the agent's influence in Hollywood, the housekeeper has never been able to leave.
"Mr. Wang. As you know, this is a small party hosted by the Grammy organizing committee, and I can't let you in without an invitation and pre-registration. ”
Wang Xilei stepped forward and lowered his voice: "There are so many people in it, there must be hundreds of people, a few more people is not a big problem, right?" ”
The butler still shook his head: "No, it's a big problem. Let me show you, in all the invitations and registration lists, there are only seven Chinese names combined. Chinese faces will stand out. What's more, your people are still dressed like this...... In short, it's too attention-grabbing. No. ”
In order to blend in with today's occasion, those fresh meat flowers are really hard at dressing.
The cheapest clothes are all haute couture dresses and suits worth $100,000, especially small flowers, low-cut dresses with large necklines exposed at the neckline, and top-of-the-line luxury necklaces worth millions of dollars rented at their own expense.
Wang Xilei lowered his voice, "One hundred thousand." ”
The butler was silent.
"Two hundred thousand."
Continue to be silent.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Hmm......" The butler's heart moved, and his expression began to hesitate.
But he thought about his career, and finally resisted the temptation of the devil.
Afraid that Wang Xilei would smash a higher price and increase his pain, he turned around and left decisively.
It was a tough choice.
The group looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do but wait outside.
It didn't take long for the party to start getting closer and closer, and more and more European and American celebrities appeared one after another, pinching the time to walk into the villa.
Wang Xilei simply let a few fresh meat flowers just outside the gate of the villa, pretending to step on the road, and took photos with the passing European and American music and fashion and sports bigwigs as the background.
Not to mention, it looks pretty decent.
The turning point came when ten minutes after the party officially began, the butler came out.
"You're so lucky, two Chinese musicians who were invited were late for some reason, so they probably won't come. So you can go in two, one man and one woman. But I will only write the names of the two invitees on the registration list, and I will not make fake invitations for you. It's best not to talk around when you go in, just eat something, go shopping, and then finish what you want to do as soon as possible, and come out early. Don't make a mess of me. ”
Wang Xilei was overjoyed, nodded and thanked him again and again, and immediately ordered a man and a woman to go in.
As for the others, they can only be saddened.
The opportunity was fleeting, and it was so scarce, and it was abandoned in front of the door, and I guess I could only blame myself for not being beautiful enough in bed.
