After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 604 Car Crash
Tang Shiyi had been here before, so there was no need for him to lead the way.

This is Aunt Nuan's first time here.

Zhou Haoran took her hand and introduced her to everyone.

Actually, many people have seen this.

Even so, Sheng Wennuan was still stunned by the scene before her. There were so many people, and each one of them was beautiful. Each of them had their own unique charm, and they were all the most eye-catching in the crowd.

"all these are……"

Sheng Wennuan was already nervous, and now she was even more flustered.

There are too many people, and the pressure is immense.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Yes, these are all mine... Come, let me introduce you. This is Suiqing, you know her, we've been neighbors since we were little."

"Welcome, Auntie Nuan!"

Qiao Suiqing only received the news yesterday. Her reaction wasn't rejection, but rather a feeling that something was off. She wondered what would happen to Aunt Wan and Aunt Nuan in the future. Knowing her husband as she did, she was certain that the two sisters would share a bed with him.

"Thank you."

A smile appeared on Sheng Wennuan's delicate and pretty face.

Zhou Haoran continued, "This is Jiang Minsi. She was my high school teacher. After I graduated from high school, I bought her a house... You've met her before, right?"

"Yes, I've met you before." Sheng Wenwen nodded and pursed her lips. "Minmin, hello."

Jiang Minsi said with a light laugh, "Warm Sister, welcome to our big family."

"Thank you."

Sheng Wen smiled and thanked her, being very polite.

"This is Ji Yingyang, my business partner, the general manager of Haoqi Sunshine Trading Company... she's my apprentice, but she hasn't taken possession of the house yet. She's very good at business, you can call her Yangyang."

Zhou Haoran didn't follow any particular order; he just introduced each one he saw at random.

"Yangyang, hello." Sheng Wenwen had assumed everyone present was a formal member of the Zhou family, so she was surprised to find that there were also people who hadn't yet taken possession of their houses. "How come...you and the master..."

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "Sister Yangyang, Aunt Nuan wanted to ask you, why haven't you taken possession of your house yet?"

"What's the rush?" Ji Yingyang rolled her eyes, but she was still quite polite to Sheng Wenwen. "Sister Wenwen, Zhou Haoran didn't bully you, did she? If she did, tell your sisters, and we'll all support you."

“No…” Sheng Wenwen looked at Zhou Haoran tenderly, “The master dotes on me very much.”

“That’s right!” Zhou Haoran said matter-of-factly. “There’s no need to compete; they’ll all be pampered the same.”

The yang energy is concentrated.

She wouldn't stoop to that kind of competition; she's not going to engage in such rivalry.

Zhou Haoran then introduced Hu Xiaochen and Qiao Nuo.

Tang Shiyi was introduced last.

“She’s also a helper in my career; she’s now the general manager of Tangren Media. I just handed over the keys to her new house on the 1st of this month. Today, just like with you, I’m bringing you two in for the formal ceremony.”

"Ms. Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Although it was the first time Sheng Wenwen had met her, she had heard Bai Panyang talk about her a lot before and was quite curious about what kind of extraordinary woman Bai Panyang admired so much.

Tang Shiyi was not used to this kind of occasion and simply replied, "Hello."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "From now on, we're sisters, no need to be so formal... Oh? Where's Aunt Wan?"

"It was just here!"

Qiao Suiqing looked around but didn't see Sheng Wenwan.

Zhou Haoran shouted, "Sheng Wenwan, where are you? Your sister is here, aren't you going to greet her?"

"Need not……"

Sheng Wenwen felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed.

Everything else is easy to say.

The main reason was that she was Sheng Wenwan's older sister, which made her feel a little awkward, and she was afraid that others would have different opinions.

Qiao Suiqing noticed something and warmly took her arm. "Aunt Nuan, it's alright. Once we're in, we're all family, like sisters. We get along really well, there's no backstabbing or scheming."

A moment later, Sheng Wenwan arrived and said readily, "This is my older sister, so there's no need to introduce her to me, right?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Aunt Nuan just entered the house, so she needs to be identified."

"Mm." Sheng Wenwan pursed her lips and said leisurely, "Sister, welcome to my home."

"Thank you."

Sheng Wenwen bit her lip lightly, her face flushed, feeling strange.

Zhou Haoran said in a robust voice, "Alright, now that we've all met, it's settled. Welcome Sheng Wenwen to our Zhou family! Let's give her a round of applause!"

Then everyone applauded.

Hu Xiaochen was the most mischievous, clapping while his eyes darted between the Sheng sisters, Sheng Wenwen and Sheng Wenwan, with a playful look. It was quite amusing.

Sheng Wennuan became flustered after receiving a round of applause.

His face was flushed.

They also began to clap softly.

Just as the old man had said before, the Zhou family was quite different from the large families depicted in many movies and novels; internally, they were truly harmonious and peaceful.

The villa has a home theater. The equipment is quite advanced; it can play film directly.

In the afternoon, the family watched a movie at a small cinema—the global blockbuster "Titanic." Due to the special nature of the harbor, many cinemas there have special permission to show the uncut version of "Titanic."

Zhou Haoran was able to obtain the uncut film master tape from Red Star Films.

That's why piracy is rampant.

The original copy he had was definitely leaked privately and was outside the rules.

That evening, Zhou Haoran went to Tang Shiyi's room.

Actually, he wanted to go to Aunt Nuan's room more.

She and Aunt Wan shared a bedroom.

This is both challenging and attractive.

However, since they are new here, I'm worried they might not adapt well, so it's best to take it slow and not be too hasty... Fortunately, the opportunity has come. Zhou Haoran is going to the United States on a business trip, which is a perfect opportunity for him to go on his honeymoon with Aunt Nuan.

Tang Shiyi was busy promoting cooperation with the Hong Kong government and didn't have time to go to the United States.

So, the two sisters, Sheng Wenwen and Sheng Wenwan, went to the United States with Zhou Haoran.

Good times are worth looking forward to.

As expected, a decision was made at the group level in the new week.

Gao Huayu has been appointed as the executive vice president of Red Star Imaging Company. The previous person was dismissed due to poor management of piracy.

The first thing Vice President Gao did upon taking office was to change the name.

Times have changed, and the name Red Star Images is somewhat outdated.

It was changed to Red Star Audio-Visual.

This single decree shocked everyone in the company.

You should know that changing a company's name is not something that can be decided internally. It requires permission and approval at the group level, and the name needs to be changed across all channels in the upstream and downstream industries. Many trademarks and advertising slogans need to be changed, and the cost of changing the name alone can be two to three million.

Gao Huayu has only been the company's vice president for a short time, yet he has already pushed forward such a major project.

It made it clear to many people immediately.

This is a powerful figure!

This is not over yet.

At Zhou Haoran's behest, Red Star Audio-Visual's next step is to integrate resources and promote a merger with Harbor Audio-Visual Company. Harbor Audio-Visual is also a state-owned enterprise whose main business is publishing popular and film/television songs.

Due to the impact of piracy, the company's performance has been very poor in the past two years.

Integration into Red Star Audio-Visual is just right!
Given Red Star Media's massive local influence, it would be easy for them to pull off this. Both are state-owned enterprises, and integration would reduce costs and increase efficiency, keeping the profits within the company.

As a result, the official market for audio-visual publishing in the harbor area was completely monopolized by Red Star Audio-Visual Publishing House. Private audio-visual publishers were insignificant, and most of them were involved in piracy.

With control of legitimate distribution channels, Tangren Media will then move on to Tangren Records... giving them considerable control, at least in the Harbour City market.

This is not finished.

Tang Shiyi wants to start Tangren Records, but there are many things she might not be able to accomplish on her own. The record companies she has her eye on might not be willing to sell.

For example, she set her sights on a Hong Kong-based record company that mainly produces mainland Chinese music – Red Star Music Society.

"Red Star Music Club?"

Upon hearing this name, Shan Wendong was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Haoran said, "Yes, the name is the same as our unit's, Red Star."

"Didn't that result in a car crash?"

Shan Wendong felt this was very inappropriate.

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. If it were Red Star Erguotou, it wouldn't matter; no one would associate Erguotou with Red Star TV. But Red Star Production Cooperative is different. Many people, upon hearing the name, assume it's a subsidiary of Red Star Media and related to Red Star TV!"

How did they obtain their trademark registration?

Shan Wendong was very dissatisfied with this, feeling that it damaged Red Star Media's brand.

This is no way.

These days, China's trademark law is incomplete and lacks a brand concept, which often leads to "clashes".

Zhou Haoran said, "This is not a mainland company, but a Hong Kong government-owned music company. However, the artists under their management are all from the mainland, such as Zheng Jun, Tian Zhen, Xiao Ke, Xu Wei, and the Cobra Band."

"This is not possible..."

Shan Wendong felt he had to intervene and stop the unruly behavior of the people.

Zhou Haoran suggested, "I don't think that's appropriate either. There are two solutions: either order the Red Star Production Company to change its name, or give them official authorization to prevent them from using the 'Red Star' name to swindle and deceive people."

"Formal authorization?"

Shan Wendong felt that this was even more impossible.

This is state-owned property; how can it be easily authorized to a foreign company?
Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Actually, there is a way."

"any solution?"

"Acquisition."
