Chapter 517: Do Something Interesting
On the evening of the last day of August.
The mansion at No. 6 Pak Kin Shi Road, Hong Kong, is holding a lively party.
"Congratulations to Miss Zhou, I wish Miss Zhou's record a big sale!"
"I wish Miss Zhou's record a big hit."
"I wish Miss Zhou ......"
At the entrance of the mansion, when every guest enters the door, they will send blessings to Zhou Huimin, who is standing in front of the door to greet him.
Carefully distinguish these people, most of them are from the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, in front of and behind the scenes, big stars, everything.
Of course, in addition to people in the entertainment industry, there are also some upper-class celebrities, political and business people in Xiangjiang.
And today, it is the celebration party of Zhou Huimin's official debut.
Although the record was just released yesterday, and the sales can't be summed up at all, it doesn't prevent everyone from congratulating in advance.
And the reason why these people in the entertainment industry attend the party so face-giving is naturally not because of Zhou Huimin, but because of the cloud entertainment behind them.
As for those upper-class celebrities, most of them are coming for other goals.
For example, at this time, he took his girlfriend Yang Ziqiong to send congratulations and gifts to Zhou Huimin, and went straight to Pan Disheng on the second floor of the mansion.
As soon as Pan Disheng went upstairs, he saw Hideki Hanyu toasting and talking to a ghost guy he also knew, a member of the famous Shi Waiya family in Xiangjiang.
Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was talking to him, Pan Disheng was not easy to disturb, so he went to chat with the Xu family on the side first.
And the chat between Hanyu Hideki and this member of the Schwya's family actually didn't last long, and he soon put the other party outside the door with a smile.
These celebrities are just an excuse to attend Zhou Huimin's party, and the real purpose is actually to meet him.
After all, he is different from other rich people in Xiangjiang, he doesn't like to party at home, and this time it is a rare opportunity to meet him with Zhou Huimin's party.
"Mr. Shi Wya, I had a nice chat with you today, I will consider cooperation with you, goodbye."
At the door of the mansion, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to each other.
Zhou Huimin, who was smiling on the side, asked with some curiosity after the people left, "Who is this gentleman?" ”
"People from the Schwyas." Hideki Hanyu said.
Zhou Huimin showed a puzzled expression that seemed to know, but couldn't remember.
Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu said, "Have you heard of the Swire Group?" ”
Zhou Huimin nodded, "I've heard of it, but I'm not very familiar with it." ”
Hanyu didn't explain much because there were other guests waiting for him upstairs.
It's no wonder that Zhou Huimin is not familiar with it, those foreign families in Xiangjiang don't seem to be as high-profile as the Chinese rich, and they are not visible, but they are all invisible super-rich families that cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, these families have a keen eye for investment, such as the Swire Group, which has been optimistic about the mainland market for a long time, and began to fully enter the mainland investment this year, which is bolder than many overseas Chinese billionaires.
As one of Coca-Cola's most important partners, the Swire group pushed Coca-Cola back to the mainland this year.
After the rise of short video platforms, the famous street photography mecca, Taikoo Li Chengdu, a block-style shopping mall, was invested and built by Swire Properties.
After Hanyu Hideki returned to the second floor, Pan Disheng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up and said with some surprise.
"I didn't expect the Shi Huaiya family to come, they have never liked to show their faces."
Hideki Hanyu replied casually, "There is some business cooperation. ”
"Oh? Is it convenient for Mr. Hanyu to say? Pan Disheng asked curiously.
"There's nothing inconvenient, my business has recently bought several energy companies in Australia, including the Schwya's family."
After Hanyu Hideki explained, Pan Disheng immediately made a sudden appearance, but did not continue to ask.
After all, he is engaged in the luxury agency business, and it is impossible to mix it with such a big deal as energy investment.
And Pan Disheng didn't ask again, and Hanyu Hideki wouldn't say more.
It is naturally true that he bought an Australian energy company from the Swire Group, but today the Schwyawer family sent someone to contact him, but it was not for this matter.
They wanted to collaborate with Hideki Hanyu in the retail business.
To be precise, I want to cooperate with Vigorous convenience stores in the UK.
This kind of old family's business sense is really unusual, and it has only been a few months since the Vigorous convenience store opened, and these guys came to see it when they smelled it.
However, the other party's sincerity was insufficient, and he didn't find out the bottom of the Vigorous convenience store in a short time, so he just dealt with it in a vain and wrongful way, and the exact thing was not negotiated.
Pan Disheng was curious about the meaning of the Shi Huaiya family, and then chatted with Hanyu Hideki about the progress of TGC licensing cooperation.
The shops in Central that Hanyu Hideki took over from Luo Zhaohui have now been almost renovated by Pan Disheng.
Just a week later, after the TGC Autumn and Winter fashion show is over, the first TGC Shop in Hong Kong will officially open.
"We're just releasing the news now, and the stock market immediately gave feedback, and the market value of the Desheng Group has exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars."
Pan Disheng's tone could not hide his excitement.
Hanyu was equally happy, after all, he also held 17 percent of the shares of the Desheng Group.
In another time and space, the market value of the Desheng Group reached more than HK$4 billion, which was the heyday of the 90s.
But in today's time and space, through the cooperation of Ai Yi International, the support of cloud entertainment in the media industry, and the assistance of TGC, Disheng Group has achieved this goal ahead of schedule.
It also brought him a good return on his investment.
Therefore, Hideki Hanyu immediately raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Pan." ”
Pan Disheng also raised his glass, "I should say congratulations to us." ”
"That's right, congratulations."
Hanyu Hideki's tone suddenly changed when he said this, "But I have something to tell Mr. Pan in advance. ”
Hearing Hanyu Hideki's slightly serious tone, Pan Disheng suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What's the matter, Mr. Hanyu, please."
Hideki Hanyu stretched out his hand to make an invitation, "Please also ask Mr. Pan to take a step to speak." ”
After speaking, he led Pan Disheng into a room on the second floor, and even Yang Ziqiong was left outside.
When there was no one around, and the noisy sound of queuing outside was blocked by the door, Hanyu Hideki asked Pan Disheng.
"After the opening of TGC Shop, is the Desheng Group going to start the rights issue?"
Pan Disheng nodded, "That's right, the announcements have already been sent." ”
"I plan to sell the shares of the Desheng Group at a later date."
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Pan Disheng immediately showed a look of horror.
Whether it is the help of Ai International, the entertainment industry, or the current TGC cooperation, Pan Disheng feels that the biggest connection with Hanyu Hideki is that both parties are shareholders of the Disheng Group and have common interests.
Now that Hanyu Hideki said that he was going to sell the shares of the Disheng Group, how could Pan Disheng not think about it, and the insecurity in the cooperation arose.
Seeing that Pan Disheng seemed to want to say something, Hanyu Hideki preemptively explained.
"Mr. Pan, listen to me, I have a big move in Europe next, I need financial support, and selling shares is a last resort, and it will never affect our cooperation.
That's why I told Mr. Pan in advance that I don't have a shortage of buyers for those stocks, but if Mr. Pan wants to eat them, I will definitely sell them to Mr. Pan first. ”
Hideki Hanyu's words are naturally half-truths.
Ai Yi International is naturally short of funds for LVMH Group, and after all the shares of the Desheng Group are sold, it will definitely be able to help some.
But this is not the most important reason, the most important thing is that the stock market crash is coming soon, and the stock price of the Desheng Group is already at a high point.
It's not a little bit down this time, and it's hard to stop the waist and cut it in half, even if it can rise back in the end, it will take a lot of time.
It is not good to do something with so much money, and it is undoubtedly the most stupid decision to be locked in the Hong Kong stock market.
When Pan Disheng heard this, although he didn't know what Hanyu Hideki was going to do in Europe, he was definitely more important than the Disheng Group.
Therefore, he understood that there was no point in persuading Hideki Hanyu to give up.
So after a little consideration, he said to Hideki Hanyu, "I have limited liquidity right now, and if Mr. Hanyu is not in a hurry, I can raise funds slowly, but now it seems that Mr. Hanyu should not have time to wait for me." ”
"Yes, what I lack most now is time, but Mr. Pan, please rest assured, if my operation is successful this time, it will definitely be a good thing for Mr. Pan."
"Oh, I'm curious to see what Hanyu-san is going to do."
Looking at Pan Disheng with a curious look on his face, Hanyu Hideki just said.
"Soon Mr. Pan will find out."
……
At No. 6 Bai Jianshi Road shrouded in night, Zhou Huimin sent the last guest away at the gate, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Inside and outside the house, several Filipino maids were cleaning up the scene after the party.
On the balcony on the second floor, Hideki Hanyu stood there with a wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was looking at.
When Zhou Huimin got closer, he didn't look back and said, "It's hard to socialize." ”
The beauty gently hugged Hanyu Hideki and put her head on the man's back, "It's a little tired, it's the first time to entertain so many people." ”
"Hehe, this is just the beginning, after becoming an artist, in addition to these entertainments, there are also various activities, you have to get used to it sooner or later."
"I regret what you said, and I always feel that the urge to be a star is getting weaker and weaker."
"This is normal, others can't buy the house under your feet if they sell records for a lifetime, and the piano I gave you for a busy year is not as expensive, and the material pursuit is gone, so you should love it all in the future."
Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Zhou Huimin turned his body to the front of the man, stood on tiptoe and pecked the man's mouth, and said with a tender face.
"It's all because you spoil me too much, so I don't have to pursue it."
Hanyu Hideki raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by this, should it be bad for you?" ”
"No, I want you to be good to me for the rest of my life."
Zhou Huimin hugged Hideki Hanyu tightly.
The scumbag just smiled slightly when he heard this.
Then, Little Beauty began to murmur in a voice that only Hideki Hanyu could hear.
"Today I met a lot of big stars and rich people, and they were very polite to me, and I knew they did it because of you, but I was also under a lot of pressure, and I was afraid that the record would not sell well enough, and people would laugh at me."
Hideki Hanyu comforted, "No, at least you have to have faith in the songs I wrote." ”
Zhou Huimin said, "But there are so many outstanding newcomers this year, have you seen the people brought by Anita Mui today?" ”
"No, I'd love to know, did she break up with that neon boyfriend?"
The boyfriend that Hanyu Hideki said was naturally Masahiko Kondo.
"I heard from the people in the company that it seems to have broken up, and I was cheated of a lot of money by that man, I heard that ......"
When Zhou Huimin talked about gossip, he immediately became gushing.
Hideki Hanyu listened to it with relish, but it was only for fun.
After all, the gap between Anita Mui and Kondo Masahiko is too big for him now.
And after Zhou Huimin gossiped for a while, she finally remembered what she wanted to say when she mentioned Anita Mui before.
"The three people Anita Mui brought today are the champions of this year's talent show jointly organized by the company and TVB, and their combination is called a very strange name, what is it called Grasshopper, and they have been performing by Anita Mui's side before."
"Huh?" Hearing the name grasshopper, Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised.
Anita Mui discovered the grasshopper, and he knew it.
However, in another time and space, Grasshopper should have signed a Polygram record this year.
The company in Zhou Huimin's mouth is naturally entertainment on the cloud.
So in this time and space, Anita Mui sent the grasshopper to the talent show jointly organized by Cloud Entertainment and TVB, imitating "Star Creation", and won the championship.
Now he is going to sign a contract with Cloud Music, and there is no such thing as Polygram Records at all, which can be regarded as indirectly digging a corner of Polygram.
In the eyes of later generations, Grasshopper is the old enemy of the Beyond band, and the two are all in one record company, and they will fight themselves in the future.
However, the appearance of grasshoppers helped Hanyu Hideki solve a problem.
That's what Asako Hirohashi asked him to do before he set off.
Let him help control the results of the talent shows on both sides of Xiangjiang and Wanwan, and see which of the contestants on both sides are worthy of investing resources in training.
After all, if the winning player is not popular for the first time, then the first step of the grand strategy of cloud entertainment in Asia will definitely be affected.
Originally, he wanted to finish the party and go to the Hopewell Center tomorrow to deal with it, but now that he learned that Grasshopper was the winner, it would be much easier.
Grasshopper is different from the Beyond band, the Beyond band focuses on originality, and he can't directly help with the work, so he can only play a hand of export to domestic sales.
But what about the grasshopper group, the popular songs in the previous life all relied on covers, "Half a Dim Sum", "Lovelorn Front Alliance", "Baby I'm Sorry", etc., either France or Thailand, by the way, they are picking wool from neon.
And this kind of is actually the best solution.
I don't dare to say anything else about music on the cloud, backed by the neon music market, it is no problem for a company's talent pool to beat the whole of Asia.
When the time comes, I will directly find suitable songs all over the world, rearrange and fill in the lyrics on the assembly line, and ensure that the first hit of the grasshopper is guaranteed.
As for covers, no one cares about this now anyway.
Besides, how can you highlight the preciousness of the original if you don't have many covers?
The character design that Cloud Music is now helping the Beyond band to create is the last force of Heungjiang's original music.
When the era of neon bands comes, then deliberately promote it in the media, and have a big confrontation with the band, creating that the beyond band is the last resistance force.
What, you said there are other original bands in Hong Kong?
Sorry, but in this day and age when the media is king.
The big capital that controls the media allows everyone to watch what they want, then everyone can only watch it.
In another time and space, Grasshopper can rely on cover songs to beat the Beyond band in awards for six consecutive years.
In this time and space, he said that the Beyond band is the last original force of Xiangjiang.
That's what Beyond is.
"What are you thinking, honey?"
Hanyu Hideki thought about the arrangement of the grasshopper, and didn't speak for a while, so Zhou Huimin couldn't help but look up and ask.
However, after asking, the little beauty's handsome and extraordinary face wearing gold-rimmed glasses suddenly couldn't help tiptoeing and pecking.
Hideki Hanyu, who came back to his senses, looked down at the little beauty and asked with a smile, "What is Vivien doing?" ”
Zhou Huimin just stared at the man's face and replied, "Honey, you are so good-looking." ”
"Why do you always care about my face? That's it...... Ha ha! ”
Before the lines in Hanyu's memory were finished, he couldn't help but laugh first.
In Zhou Huimin's puzzled eyes, his laughter became weaker and weaker.
Until finally dissolved silently.
Whenever this happens, there is always a sense of loneliness in his heart that belongs to the traverser.
Zhou Xingxing, who filmed this movie, should have already started to play a small supporting role in the TV series at this time.
He had also thought about whether to discover the king of comedy in advance, but in the end he gave up, and it was better to let the other party develop naturally.
Although Zhou Xingxing's box office is high, it is no longer important to him now.
And as the largest cinema owner in Xiangjiang, the higher Zhou Xingxing's box office, the more he earns.
In fact, instead of directly discovering Zhou Xingxing, he wanted to do something special rich and capricious in Xiangjiang.
For example, invest in "Journey to the West", and then hide it for 20 years before releasing it, and then see how much box office it can sell at that time.
or spend money to let Jet Li make a sequel to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and then put it back in ten or twenty years later.
Something like that, he thought it was funny just thinking about it.
After crossing, you can't just make money to make girls, and it's actually not bad to do something like this.
"Sir, Miss Zhou, the house has been cleaned."
Just then, a Filipino maid came up to report.
Zhou Huimin instructed, "Then you can go and rest." ”
After instructing the Filipino maid, the little beauty looked up at Hanyu Hideki and said in a soft tone.
"Honey, it's time for us to rest, too."
