Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 245 245 [Emperor Retired]

"I know you are not interested in the Japanese film industry, but just want to focus on the cinema and real estate industries of the Sunkatsu Film Company. I think our interests do not conflict and we can definitely cooperate." Kudo Ueki glanced at Luo Qihong and Bai Jinyan and said with a serious expression.

At this time, Kudo Ueki no longer had much capital, and these capitals were gradually reduced with the passage of time, so he was so anxious to find Luo Qihong.

Luo Qihong still ignored Kudo Ueki's advice and continued talking to Nakamori Akina through the translator, acting like a lecher, which made people look down on him.

Bai Jinyan also thought that Luo Qihong had set a beauty trap, so he sighed secretly and said to Kudo Zhishu, "How does Mr. Kudo want to cooperate?"

"How about the film industry of Nikkatsu Films belongs to me and the other industries are yours to manage?"

Bai Jinyan did not answer, but looked at Luo Qihong. She had no say in this matter, and Luo Qihong still needed to make the decision. After all, it involved the foundation of De'an Investment Company in Nikkatsu Film Company.

Moreover, she couldn't guess what Kudo Ueki's ultimate goal was. What would she do if she fell into the trap?

"Oh? So how does Mr. Kudo plan to revitalize Nikkatsu Film Company?" Luo Qihong still had a smile on his face as he turned to look at Kudo Ueki.

He is not the one who is always dragging his feet at Nikkatsu Film Company, nor does he believe that Kudo Ueki has the ability to manage the company's film industry well. Once a decision is made, he is in the same boat with Kudo Ueki.

After Kudo Ueki learned about Luo Qihong's question from the translator, he no longer maintained a calm expression on his face, but fell silent.

"There is no solution yet. Does Mr. Luo have any good suggestions?" asked Kudo Ueki.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Nikkatsu Films has reached its current state entirely because of problems in the film industry. If Mr. Kudo did not have practical suggestions, how could the board of directors dare to hand over the management rights of the film industry to you?"

"Then Mr. Luo, do you disagree with this kind of cooperation?" Kudo Ueki was a little annoyed.

The translator did not translate what Luo Qihong said to Akina Nakamori, but Kudo Ueki's words and attitude were too obvious. In her cognition, Kudo Ueki was an unreachable existence, so she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Please be patient, Mr. Kudo! Cooperation requires sincerity. The real estate and cinema chains of Nikkatsu Film Company are already in my hands. No one would come to negotiate with something in someone else's hands." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

Bai Jinyan suddenly became alert. Was Luo Qihong just giving him a chance to train?

Kudo Shikei was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but he could do nothing to Luo Qihong.

"Mr. Luo, what do you want? Just give me the straight answer."

"How about we make a bet? I can give the management rights of the film industry to you, Mr. Kudo, but if you can't turn losses into profits within one year, the Kudo family will withdraw from Nikkatsu Film Company. How about that?" Luo Qihong offered a bad idea.

"." Kudo Ueki felt a pang of anger in his heart. This was all in.

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell, this is a dilemma.

"Let's change the cooperation plan." Kudo Ueki still didn't have that much courage.

Luo Qihong sneered and said, "Mr. Kudo, let me be frank. You don't have much capital left, and your control over the film industry is gradually weakening. In a while, you won't even have the capital to negotiate."

"Even if we change the plan, the result will be the same. I agree to keep things quiet. I don't think Mr. Matsushita and Mr. Shuxia will stop."

Luo Qihong's meaning is very clear. If you don't have the courage, then we don't need to talk at all.

It was impossible to negotiate with Luo Qihong by using what he could get.

Seeing that Kudo Ueki hesitated, Luo Qihong added fuel to the fire, "If Mr. Kudo does not want to take such a risk, I can provide a slightly milder plan. Mr. Kudo, Mr. Matsushita and Mr. Jūshita can take charge of the film industry together. This will be a good thing for everyone." Upon hearing this, Kudo Ueki frowned even deeper. He had actually fallen to the point of sharing the control of the film industry with others, and there was a retired emperor sitting above his head. This was a shame.

But if he doesn't agree, he will get nothing.

Originally, Kudo Ueki wanted to introduce foreign aid, but unfortunately, Dean Investment Company already held 45% of the shares, so he had no chance at all, and foreign aid could not play much of a role.

"Mr. Kudo, you don't have to answer me so quickly. You can go back and think about it first." Luo Qihong didn't want to push him too much, as this would easily produce adverse effects.

"Ms. Nakamori, are you interested in being an actor?" Luo Qihong turned his head and looked at Akina Nakamori, and said in a gentle tone.

"I have signed an artist agreement with your company, but the company recommends that I become a singer and does not approve of my acting." Akina Nakamori said respectfully. She realized that the young man in front of her was higher than Mr. Kudo.

"Oh?" Luo Qihong looked at Kudo Ueki and said with a smile, "Is this the result of the company's professional evaluation? Mr. Kudo!"

Although Kudo Ueki no longer holds a specific management position, he brought Akina Nakamori with him and she should know the detailed information.

"Yes, Mr. Luo! Ms. Nakamori has a beautiful voice and is very suitable to be a singer." said Kudo Ueki.

"Isn't Nikkatsu a film company? When did it get involved in the music industry?" Luo Qihong asked with a smile.

"Nikkatsu Film Company has always had a music company under it, but it's very small. However, it is more than enough to provide Ms. Nakamori with the resources to make her debut."

"Ms. Nakamori, you've been wronged. Please rest assured that the company will pave the way for your musical career as soon as possible." Luo Qihong said with a smile. This woman's youth, shyness and obedience were very attractive, so he naturally wanted to play with her.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo! I will also work hard to give back to the company." Akina Nakamori's voice unconsciously became louder, as if to show her loyalty.

"Okay, I'm also optimistic about Miss Nakamori." Luo Qihong chuckled.

Bai Jinyan picked up the red wine glass and took a big sip of red wine, with a look of displeasure on her face. However, what made her even more angry was that the old guy Kudo Ueki brought Akina Nakamori with him.

She hasn't even dealt with Guan Jiahui yet, and now there's Akina Nakamori. She's so unlucky.

On the way back to the hotel, Bai Jinyan and Luo Qihong were in the same car.

"Ms. Akina Nakamori is very suitable to be a singer and has a beautiful voice." Bai Jinyan said tentatively.

"Yes, indeed!" Luo Qihong smiled faintly, "She is also very beautiful. Maybe she can be an actress in the future."

"Today, Kudo Ueki brought Akina Nakamori here, which gave me a new idea. Nikkatsu Films may be able to transform and develop in the direction of music and animation films."

"." Bai Jinyan didn't know what to say for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he organized his words. "Japanese music and comics are both highly competitive industries, not much worse than movies. It is difficult for Nikkatsu Film Company to get involved."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Take your time. This is a good direction after all. It is better than the adult film proposed by Kudo Shigeki. This will easily damage the company's reputation."

Adult movie?!
Hearing this word, Bai Jinyan's cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red. If she were asked to be in charge of this industry, she would rather not have it. She couldn't understand why Kudo Ueki dared to speak so high-soundingly?

"A three-party Nikkatsu Film Company is more in line with our interests. We can be the biggest arbitrator of Nikkatsu Film Company, with a high position and veto power." Luo Qihong laughed. He really liked being the emperor of the Japanese.
