Chapter 32: Gangsters
After asking Cai Shuqing on the phone, everyone went to a big shopping mall specializing in selling furniture and began a big shopping operation. Of course, this is the shopping of several women, and Chen Feng, Chen Dayong, and Hong Zhongguo, who are men, can only act as the work of paying and carrying.
This big fight lasted for more than four hours before it ended, so that Chen Feng, Chen Dayong and Hong Zhongguo had to admire the energy of these women, except for some big guys who would deliver to the door when the shopping mall arrived, small things, such as quilt covers and cleaning supplies, were brought back by everyone in large bags.
By the time we returned to the villa manor on Deep Water Bay Road, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and after everyone had cleaned up the room together, it was eleven o'clock.
Fortunately, on the way back, I passed by a fast food restaurant and brought a bento back, otherwise everyone would be hungry.
Early the next morning, Chen Feng received a call from Cao Yunfang.
"Chen Feng, the deputy director of CCTV in the mainland called me in person early this morning, hoping to give you a special interview, they have organized a special interview team this time, rushed to your hometown of Hengyang County in Xiuzhou to interview, said that it is to start from your hometown where you lived when you were a child, and then, to the urban area of Xiuzhou where you live now, and then to your contracted company in the United States, to make this special interview into a series, the preliminary estimate is at least ten episodes, you see, how about it? Personally, I think this is very helpful for your personal image improvement, especially for the people in China, if this special topic is broadcast, after all, it will greatly improve your status and sense of identity in the minds of our people. Also, you have already rejected them once last time, if you refuse again this time, I think it is very bad, after all, CCTV is the No.1 of all our domestic TV stations, and it has the largest right to speak in the country, you see ......"
Hearing Cao Yunfang's words, Chen Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "If my personal interview album is released after the recording is completed, how will we share the benefits of this part?"
To be honest, Chen Feng doesn't have much of a good impression of CCTV, but considering that he is the boss of the domestic media after all, although he is not afraid of offending them, it is very unwise to do so, and sometimes cooperation is more appropriate than confrontation. The problem is to ensure that his interests are not harmed, he doesn't want to be used as a cash cow by CCTV in vain, if this long interview album is recorded, and then released and listed, it is conceivable that this potential huge commercial value, of course, must be agreed in advance with CCTV's profit sharing. In this regard, CCTV has a bad precedent, such as the previous Spring Festival Gala albums, one of the more famous of which is the intellectual property dispute between Chen Peisi and CCTV, which caused Chen Peisi to be banned "without being blocked".
"That's ...... We haven't talked yet, and if you agree, I can talk to them right now. Cai Shuqing also heard the meaning of Chen Feng's words, and hurriedly said.
"Well, you can tell them that if I do a series of interviews, they have to donate 20 percent of the advertising revenue from each episode to Project Hope, and 40 percent of the profits if the CD is released. If they agree, I'll do this interview. Chen Feng said the cooperation plan in his heart very directly.
"Well, okay. Cao Yunfang nodded in agreement, "I'll contact them now." Presumably, they also know that you have a huge commercial value in your current deposit, and they should agree. ”
……
After hanging up Cao Yunfang's phone, Chen Feng immediately received a call from Ka Linna.
"BOSS, the acquisition plan of Hong Kong Asia Television has been reached, and now we Huateng have owned 52% of the shares of ATV, reaching absolute control. ”
When Chen Feng heard this, he was overjoyed: "verygood! The matter of the entertainment agent should be about the same, how is the manpower?"
The "Hong Kong Huateng Entertainment Brokerage Company" named after Huateng was officially registered two days ago, but it is slightly understaffed and has not yet fully operated.
"Well, yesterday, we invited a few more well-known agents in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. However, what we have done in the past few days has caused dissatisfaction among other entertainment companies in Hong Kong. It is very likely to cause trouble for Huateng Entertainment Agency. I've sent a dozen or so security guards from headquarters just in case. ”
Hearing Karina's concerns, Chen Feng also deeply believed that gangsters in Hong Kong are very rampant, especially in the entertainment industry. These entertainment companies have more or less underworld relationships and backgrounds behind them, and in the past few days, Huateng Entertainment Agency has been poaching people from other entertainment companies, which naturally causes their dissatisfaction, and it is natural to retaliate, the problem is only a matter of time.
"It seems that if you want to get along in Hong Kong, in addition to the relationship between the white road, you should also pay attention to cultivating the underworld. Chen Feng thought with some feelings.
"Well, for the time being, this entertainment agency will be like this, stop poaching people, of course, if others take the initiative to defect, of course we can't turn them away. Also, Karina, it seems that we Hua Teng need to establish or nurture a force in the underworld of Hong Kong. You've been in Hong Kong for so long, what are your good thoughts on this?"
Karina pondered for a moment and said: "Our Huateng security manager Liu Zhi, used to be a senior inspector of 0 Ji, he knows a lot of underworld elements in Hong Kong, bosses, if you want to establish or support your own forces in the Hong Kong underworld, you can let him be the executor. I think he should be up to the task. ”
"The hero sees the same thing, I think the same, you can talk to him alone today, tell him about this matter, if he agrees, let him find a more reliable candidate, we Hua free up money, let him recruit troops, as long as we have money, I believe that his new gang can grow soon." Karina, do you think it's necessary for us to do this?"
Karina hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Boss, if it was before, I would oppose your construction, because after all, this is illegal, but now it is a reservation, it doesn't matter if we do this, but we must pay attention to secrecy and draw a line with the gang." ”
"Well, thank you for your construction, I also know this in my heart, as long as you can guarantee Liu Zhi's loyalty, and Liu Zhi can also guarantee the loyalty of the candidate who is looking for him, and he can stand up for us Huateng in the future, it's okay." ”
"Okay, I'll let Liu Zhi come to my office now and talk to him. ”
"Okay, then please. Chen Feng said politely.
"Boss, that's my business. Karina replied solemnly, and then said with resentment, "But, boss, you've been in Hong Kong for so long, why don't you come to our headquarters to have a look?
Chen Feng touched his nose a little embarrassed, the headquarters of the Four Seasons Hotel and Huateng Company are both in the Hong Kong International Financial Center, but the Four Seasons Hotel has a special exit, and they are facing each other in different directions.
"It's rare for my family to come to Hong Kong, and I've been with them for the past few days, and I'm ...... Afternoon bar...... I'll look for you in the afternoon. Chen Feng explained. In fact, the reason why Chen Feng didn't go to see her these days was really because of Hongye, since he went to Messer's house and didn't explain it clearly to Hongye, Hongye's attitude towards him in the next few days was much colder, and he refused to have a secret tryst with her several times. If it weren't for the fact that Messer's identity was really extraordinary, and he didn't want to make Hongye, who was already deeply inferior, even less confident in himself, Chen Feng would have explained it carefully to him a long time ago. If he is in the limelight again, he will go to Karina, a mixed-race beauty, which will definitely make the originally suspicious Momiji even more cold to him. However, the situation has eased up in the past two days, and it's a big deal, so let's bring Momiji over to meet Karina in the afternoon.
"Well, that's what you said. Karina said happily, "I'll wait for you in the office in the afternoon, you call me before you come, and I'll pick you up at the elevator." ”
"Don't don't!" Chen Feng hurriedly denied her advice, "You still wait for me in your office, and then I will go to your office, if you, the president of Huateng, wait for someone at the elevator entrance, it will cause an uproar in the company." ”
"Hehe, ok, then I'll wait for you in the office. ”
Karina smiled and hung up.
……
Chen Feng put down his mobile phone, thinking about the Hong Kong ATV restructuring plan to be discussed with Karina at that time. However, after a while, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang again, and when he saw that the number was actually his father's, Chen Feng immediately pressed the answer button.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Chen Feng asked straight to the point.
"Xiao Feng, just now Li Ka-shing called his dad and invited us to their house tomorrow night? Did you hear clearly, it is Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, and we are neighbors with him now. Chen Dayong's tone seemed a little excited. Chen Feng knows that his father has always admired Li Ka-shing, the great god, and it is no wonder that this is the case.
Chen Feng couldn't help but feel funny, if he really wants to talk about it, his family's wealth is now NN times that of Li Ka-shing, and his father really doesn't need to be so excited.
"Dad, did you agree?" Chen Feng asked.
"Of course I agreed! This is Li Ka-shing's invitation, why don't we agree? What's more, we are neighbors now. If you refuse, it will be rude. ”
"Alright, we'll be a guest tomorrow. Hang up first. Chen Feng said in a flat tone.
When Chen Feng was about to hang up the phone, Chen Dayong hurriedly added: "By the way, he already knows that you are my son, in addition to inviting our whole family to be guests, I hope you can perform a show and sing a song for everyone then." Because, tomorrow is her granddaughter's birthday. ”
