After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 590 Light
The financial battle on the Hong Kong side is still very intense.

There's a constant struggle every day.

Just wait for the results.

Zhou Haoran returned to the harbor.

VCD copies of "My Fair Princess" have begun to be sold nationwide.

The first run of the TV series has now ended.

However, due to the nationwide flood relief efforts, it was deemed unsuitable to broadcast this type of comedy drama, and the second run was delayed. As a result, viewers were unable to see the drama on television again for a long time.

DVDs provide an excellent alternative.

It's worth mentioning that the film's ending theme song, "Rain Butterfly," has become a hit everywhere, and the copyright and singer of this song belong to Huaxing Records, a record company that Tangren Media is currently working to acquire.

"Great sir, you have returned in triumph!"

This time, the person who came to the Red Mansion Teahouse was Wang Changlian, a senior student from Fudan University.

He has officially resigned from the Capital TV station.

He came to the harbor and founded Enlight Media.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Do you know what I went to do?"

"You went to the Hong Kong government and started to compete with international capital!"

Wang Changlian then recounted some details as if they were his own treasures.

Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised, "There are reports about this in China?"

Wang Changlian laughed and said, "There aren't many reports from the mainland; everyone's focused on flood control and disaster relief. Nobody can steal the spotlight. But we're in the entertainment industry, so I've been keeping an eye on the situation in Hong Kong as well."

"Enlight Media has been established. What are your thoughts?"

Zhou Haoran asked the tea vendor to process a membership card and gave it to the senior student.

"I'd rather do some work in television." Wang Changlian came from a television station, and he has connections and talent in that field. "There are too many television stations in China. Apart from the top satellite channels, the local channels are struggling."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Yes, even the local channels of Red Star TV, such as the City Channel, Lifestyle Channel, and Entertainment Channel, are struggling to make ends meet. Not to mention other places."

"The entertainment industry is a key focus of our overall efforts, and I plan to create an entertainment news program. Partnering with satellite TV stations might not be enough, but we can sell our content to local channels across the country. If dozens of local channels buy our content, and each pays 10,000 yuan per episode, we can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan per episode."

Wang Changlian dared to resign and start his own business because he had already done thorough market research.

"Then I wish you success in your business!"

Zhou Haoran toasted his senior with tea instead of wine.

"I respect you. Now that we've arrived at the harbor, we still need your help, sir!"

Wang Changlian spoke his true feelings in a joking tone.

“It’s only right.” Zhou Haoran took the responsibility upon himself. “Starting a business isn’t easy. I’ll give you 1000 million.”

"what?"

Wang Changlian was startled, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

"what happened?"

Zhou Haoran found it somewhat strange.

Wang Changlian said, "If I had 1000 million, I would retire right now and travel the world. Don't joke with me."

Zhou Haoran thought to himself, "That makes sense."

He just came back from the Hong Kong government and doesn't treat money like money anymore.

Any second or third-tier actress over there, even a newcomer, can earn hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars just by spending a few days with them.

If it's a top-tier actress, it's even more extraordinary; it's not just about money. To protect their reputation, they don't accept short-term jobs, only long-term collaborations, using dating as a pretext for "working together." After just one date, they've acquired luxury cars and mansions—that's a stake in tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

From the luxurious and decadent port government to the simple harbor.

I was still in a daze.

“Then let’s make it 100 million.” Zhou Haoran immediately changed his strategy. Giving too much money would shake the entrepreneur’s resolve and have the opposite effect. “The rest of the money will be given to you after Enlight Media has taken off!”

"100 million..."

Wang Changlian swallowed hard; this was a lot of money for him.

He used to earn only 2000 yuan a month at his previous job.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Alright, it's settled then. How could I not support my senior's entrepreneurship? Once Tangren Media has organized all the entertainment resources of the Hong Kong government, we'll lend them to you. It just so happens that you're also in entertainment news. In business, the highest level of strategy is an industrial ecosystem; mutual support is what creates a competitive advantage."

Wang Changlian didn't quite understand what "industrial ecosystem" meant.

All I know is that this alumnus is really going to give me 100 million!
That's so sincere!

I was deeply moved.

Wang Changlian suggested that the two parties could cooperate, since Tangren Media has business and resources in this area, so why not invest in Enlight Media under the name of Tangren Media?

With 100 million yuan, you can offer 30% of the shares.

"These are all secondary; the amount doesn't matter. The important thing is to establish a cooperative relationship and make Enlight Media a success."

Zhou Haoran didn't care.

Without any haggling, he said 30% of the shares, so let's just settle on that.

"I am now much more confident."

Wang Changlian felt that coming to the harbor was definitely the right decision.

If he could follow this junior and truly establish the "Shanghai circle" in the entertainment industry, making it a force to be reckoned with alongside the "Beijing circle," then Wang Changlian would certainly have a place in the domestic entertainment industry. Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I can give you a suggestion."

"That's definitely a great idea!"

Wang Changlian said in a flattering tone.

Zhou Haoran said, "Your business model is still the traditional model of producing programs and then selling them to TV stations across the country. You can try a new model."

"What new model?"

"Free."

"what?"

Wang Changlian was speechless.

Zhou Haoran explained, "If it's about selling films, local channels would need to pay for them, which would definitely slow down the growth and cause many difficulties in the early stages. Many local channels don't have much money; all they have are the broadcasting resources of the TV station. Actually, we could make an exchange, which would allow Enlight Media to develop rapidly."

"exchange?"

Wang Changlian suddenly realized the identity of the Master.

This is a business leader who can turn lead into gold!

Zhou Haoran said, "You use your TV programs to exchange for the broadcasting resources of the TV station. Simply put, you insert advertisements into your programs, give them to the TV station for free to broadcast, and then don't allow them to cut the advertisements."

Wang Changlian's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized, "Make money from advertisers!"

Zhou Haoran nodded. "I led a program on Red Star TV called 'City Playlist'."

"I know!" Wang Changlian's expression immediately became enthusiastic. "This was rated by the Entertainment News as the most anticipated variety show of the year, and its popularity is even higher than 'Everyone's Art' and 'Happy Camp'!"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Currently, this program uses a free distribution mechanism."

Wang Changlian exclaimed in surprise, "The 'City Playlist' will be licensed to major TV stations across the country for free?"

"Yes, I'll introduce you to a friend later, Dong Lan, the deputy director of the Arts and Entertainment Center of Red Star TV. She's in charge of this matter."

Zhou Haoran plans to accelerate the development of Enlight Media.

In the previous life, Enlight Media's early development was not smooth. It took a lot of effort to complete its initial capital accumulation. It wasn't until 2006 that it began to get involved in film and television, and only then did it truly get on the right track.

It successfully went public and became an entertainment giant with a market value of tens of billions.

Wang Changlian was very anxious, "Let's not wait any longer, how about tonight! I want to ask Director Dong for advice as soon as possible!"

……

"The early stages of starting a business are very tough, so I'll help as much as I can."

Zhou Haoran called Dong Lan out.

She wore a long black dress, a platinum necklace, and exquisite makeup, exuding femininity and captivating charm.

"Huh?" Dong Lan didn't expect that we were out to talk about work. She scolded him a little, "My outfit... I thought we were out on a date. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dressed like this."

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't this great?"

Dong Lan bit her lip and said, "How can I look like a deputy director like this? I have no personal authority at all. If we go over there, people will know at a glance that I am your mistress."

"As long as you know it, you know it."

Zhou Haoran didn't care.

"what?"

Dong Lan was stunned for a moment, then blinked a few times.

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "President Wang is someone who's starting a big business. What hasn't he seen? With my status, what's so strange about having a few lovers? Even if you weren't dressed like this, it would be obvious at a glance."

"No way……"

Dong Lan felt a little guilty, after all, she was a married woman.

"Alright, let's go!" Zhou Haoran didn't mince words, pulling her arm as they got out of the car. "Ordinary people like you can't tell, but someone as worldly-wise as President Wang can see right through it. What? Being my mistress is shameful?"

"It's not shameful!" Dong Lan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him. "I'm afraid of causing you trouble."

"fine."

Zhou Haoran and Wang Changlian are alumni of Fudan University and now hold a 30% stake in Enlight Media.

We're all one of our own.

"How's that photo shoot thing I told you about last time?"

Dong Lan hadn't seen him for quite a while. He had finally returned from the Hong Kong government, and he couldn't quite suppress the pounding of his heart and the surge of desire within him.

"what happened?"

Zhou Haoran glanced at her.

"After we finish eating, let's go..." Dong Lan winked at him, her words full of flirtation, "Take some photos of me first, I've never had a private photoshoot before."

"Row!"

Zhou Haoran accepted her sincerity and felt that taking photos was still very necessary.

I went back and took a picture with Sister He Jin.

If she doesn't agree.

Then cut it off as soon as possible.
