Entertainment 1998

Chapter 264 263, Old Cow Eats Young Grass

Have a lot of fun!

The party didn't end until 1 a.m., and the 11 people spent 5 Hong Kong dollars on alcohol alone.

Wang Fei was in a good mood and wanted to pay the bill, but Wang Jiawei stopped her and said, "It's agreed that today is the "In the Mood for Love" crew's treat, so it must be the crew's treat. If you and Jiang Feng want to return the treat, then we can do it next time."

After coming out of the bar, Jiang Feng was originally going to go to Wang Fei's villa to spend the night with her, but when he was about to get in the car, something unexpected happened. His agent Wang Jinghua called from the hotel and said just one thing.

"Jung Dong-han wants to see you!"

Zheng Donghan…

This name is a little unfamiliar.

But if someone said that he had a good-for-nothing son named Zheng Zongji, then everyone would already know who he was.

The famous Prince Ji, if he didn't have such an awesome father, how could he be called the Prince?

Ok…

To be honest, Jiang Feng was a little hesitant.

The President and Partner of Universal Music Asia personally came to visit him at the hotel where he was staying. This was an extremely high honor. And precisely because of this high honor, Jiang Feng was a little reluctant to get involved in this mess.

My goal now is very clear. I need to raise money by signing a contract with a music company. EMI Music is a good company. They are willing to spend 6000 million Hong Kong dollars to sign me.

In this way, there is no need to create unnecessary complications.

Standing on the side of the road, thinking for a while, Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Wang Jinghua. Sister Hua, I won't meet with Mr. Zheng, anyway, we have already negotiated with EMI Music.

But at this moment, a call came from an unfamiliar phone number.

"Jiang Feng, I'm Zheng Donghan, President and Partner of Universal Music Asia. The reason I'm calling you now is to tell you three things.

1. A few hours ago, I listened to a song called "Blind Man" at the C Car bar in Lan Kwai Fong. When I heard this song, I suddenly felt inexplicably moved.

Because looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, since Teresa Teng passed away, there has been no singer who can tell stories with songs like you do. Well, the audience closes their eyes and just listens to the song, and scenes will emerge in their minds one after another as the song goes on.

And today, when I heard your singing, I was really shocked. I felt as if I saw a blind man looking helpless in the rain.

2. After listening to the song, I didn’t disturb you, but went straight back to the company and asked my assistant to find all the information we could about you.

Jiang Feng, born in 1978, is now just 21 years old. He has released two music albums before, one is "Dusk" and the other is "He Must Love You Very Much"; the total sales of the two music albums is currently 1011.5 million copies, which has brought you a total income of nearly 6000 million RMB..."

"Mr. Zheng, what do you want to say?"

Looking at Wang Fei who was smoking in the Land Rover Range Rover not far away, Jiang Feng thought that he should be more straightforward. After all, the beautiful woman was waiting impatiently.

"Haha... Jiang Feng, please listen to my third point. Universal Music plans to spend 3 million Hong Kong dollars to sign a 7000-year, 5-album contract with you. And this money is very straightforward. It will not be paid in installments, but will be given to you in one lump sum."

"Really?"

Jiang Feng was a little surprised.

In the negotiations tonight, Wong Jing-hua and Li Xing finally managed to secure a signing fee of 6000 million Hong Kong dollars from EMI Music, which can be paid in four installments, with the first installment being 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

But now, unexpectedly, Universal Music dared to pay so much money in one go, and even increased its signing fee by 1000 million.

"of course it's true!"

Zheng Donghan on the phone laughed. "Do you think I'm Yao Qian? He only saw your ability to sing Chinese songs, but didn't see your ability to compose English songs. For example, the English songs you wrote for Wang Fei were very popular in small Western European countries and the United States. Otherwise, her English album wouldn't have sold over 100 million copies."

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, wait for me."

This time, Jiang Feng no longer hesitated and gave a positive answer directly.

After giving the answer, Jiang Feng hung up the phone, then ran over and said to Wang Fei, "Sister Fei, we are staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel tonight. Zheng Donghan from Universal Music is already waiting for me there."

【Next Weekly: Old Cow Eats Young Grass

Last night, Wang Fei bravely held hands with Jiang Feng, a young mainland musician who is 9 years younger than her, and made their relationship public.

Wang Fei, as we all know, is the queen of the Chinese pop music scene. She has performed countless classic songs. What's more, some time ago, she released her latest English album for the European and American music markets, with sales exceeding 100 million copies.

Jiang Feng, a music fanatic from the mainland, made a bold statement when he released his first music album, saying that singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan are all scum, and even if you musicians and singers are combined together, I can still pin you to the ground.

...]

[Apple Daily:
Jiang Feng, a young mainland singer whose two music albums have sold more than 1000 million copies in total, created another miracle today.

According to friends close to Zheng Donghan, Universal Music will soon report good news to everyone. The company will sign mainland musician Jiang Feng for 7000 million Hong Kong dollars.

This price directly broke the historical record of EMI Music signing Wang Fei in 1997 for 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.

...]

In the past, Guosheng didn’t pay much attention to entertainment gossip. He paid more attention to financial news.

What new developments are there at Hutchison Whampoa; has Sun Hung Kai Properties made any major moves; has the Hong Kong government issued any favorable policies; has Superman Lee said anything to the media?

But today, he somehow bought more than a dozen entertainment newspapers to read.

There's no way around it, this is also work.

Since yesterday, Jiang Feng has officially become his client, and today, he will deposit 4000 million Hong Kong dollars into his account.

4000 million Hong Kong dollars, if added with 10 times leverage, that is to say, Jiang Feng plans to borrow Amazon shares worth 4 million Hong Kong dollars from the securities company and then sell them.

4 million Hong Kong dollars, based on the current exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars and the market value of Amazon's US stocks, can buy about 45.7 shares...

It seems that even if 45.7 shares are invested in the market, it won’t be able to lower Amazon’s stock price, right?
Guosheng shook his head, feeling that Jiang Feng was too crazy and there was no logic in buying stocks. But there was nothing he could do, because the money belonged to him and the stocks were chosen by him, so he had to keep his mouth shut even if he had some ideas.

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone next to Guosheng, who was already sitting in the office, rang.

"Hello."

"Guo Sheng, it's me, Jiang Feng.

I am calling you now for two purposes: 1. Please help me keep an eye on the technology stocks such as Google, Apple and Microsoft. If there are major changes in the US stock market, please tell me at the first time, either by phone or text message.

②, I will transfer the money to you around 10 o'clock in the morning. You can just follow my instructions yesterday and borrow 45.7 shares of Amazon from your securities company and then sell them. "

"Okay, Mr. Jiang."

Guosheng agreed and started to take action, collecting information about companies such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft from the Internet.
