    Five days later, Shinjuku, Japan.  As soon as Shen Chong walked into the door of Hilton Hotel, Zeng Lizhen came up to her quickly. Judging from her appearance, she had been waiting in the lobby for a while.  "What's wrong?" "Mr. Shen, your method won't work." She said with a grimace: "I asked Zhu Jiading to find more than ten companies, but no one was willing to sponsor." "It's a new business model, it's definitely not feasible to implement.  It's so easy." Shen Chong said as he walked towards the elevator: "There is really no one?" "If Xiao Xiami is willing, Binbin Fashion Company plans to sponsor 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." Zeng Lizhen said, "For such a small amount of money, it's so easy.  It¡¯s better than nothing.¡± Binbin Fashion Company is Ye Zhiming¡¯s company, which specializes in trendy fashion and jeans business. He also runs a film company of the same name and is closely related to the new wave of Hong Kong films.  New wave movies such as Xiao Fangfang's "Dance of the Ashes", Yan Hao's "Qie Lifei", Chen Xinjian's "Inside the Wall" and other new wave movies were all released by Binbin Film Company. Yip Chi Ming has a sister named Yip Yuqing, who will be a Hong Kong actor in the future.  A famous porn star, but at this time, she should still be a little loli.  "Ye Zhiming is worthy of being a movie maker. He has a vision and wants to make a big difference with his small things." Shen Chong stood in front of the elevator, pressed the up button, and said: "He is in a difficult situation now. He can take out 100,000 yuan, which is considered very sincere.  "Is his film company about to go bankrupt?" "It's still struggling. I heard that it is looking for people to raise funds." Zeng Lizhen said: "I have offended Taiwan, and I have offended Golden Harvest and Lisheng one after another. I still want to do film business in Hong Kong."  , It¡¯s too difficult.¡± Ye Zhiming initially established a film company just to advertise his fashion products. He cooperated with Lisheng Cinema and Jiahe Cinema and released several dramas, all of which were hits and earned a lot of money.  After getting the chance, he spent a lot of money and bought the copyrights of multiple movies from Taiwan at once, preparing to make a big one.  It's okay to just play around, but if he really wants to do something special, he has become a competitor. How can Golden Harvest continue to cooperate with him? Naturally, he will be squeezed out, so the two sides break up. And Ye Zhiming's appetite is too big, and Lisheng Cinemas also  Falling out - Lydia Cinemas, the predecessor of the famous Golden Princess Cinemas, is the third largest cinema chain after Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.  Shaw Brothers is the same as Golden Harvest. It¡¯s okay to show one or two movies, but not one?  Don't even think about it In desperation, Ye Zhiming made a desperate move and rented the "Double South" theater chain of the Left-wing Film Company to screen more than 20 movies. As you can imagine, Taiwan was immediately furious - Damn it,  Taking our movies and showing them in leftist theaters, allowing the leftists to make money from the rightists, is a blatant act of "funding the enemy" and must be banned.  Without the Taiwan market, it would be a disaster. Not only would the film company close down, but its parent company, Binbin Fashion, would also be dragged down. Ye Zhiming was now on the verge of bankruptcy, so Shen Chong said that it was very rare for him to get 100,000 yuan.  Ye Zhiming is quite capable. Although this incident made him bankrupt, he later made a comeback and founded Feitu Records in the 1990s. People who have experienced the VCD era should still remember this.  This company produced a large number of NV and karaoke discs. Later, the company was acquired by Emperor, and Nicholas Tse, Luo Wen and others became Emperor's artists.  "Apart from Binbin, is there no other company?" "The Coca-Cola Company said that if Mr. Shen, you will play the leading role yourself." Zeng Lizhen followed him, walked into the elevator, helped press the number on the top floor, and then said:  "Not only did they provide full sponsorship, but they also gave Mr. Shen an additional US$5 million in global advertising endorsement fees." "I didn't expect that I, an ordinary-looking person, would be worth so much money." Shen Chong laughed at himself and said: "  "You haven't looked for a Japanese company?" "You have, but the management of Japanese companies is very strict. The branch in Hong Kong does not have the authority to make decisions. It needs to apply to the head office. It takes more than a month to go back and forth." Zeng Lizhen was a little anxious.  , said: "The crew has been starting filming for four or five days, and the heroine has not been finalized yet. How can I afford to wait that long." "Isn't the place where you are standing now Japan?" Shen Chong walked out of the elevator, took out his key card,  He said: "Go directly to the head office that you are interested in." "But I don't understand Japanese, I don't know anyone in Tokyo, and I have never done advertising and sales" "If you don't know me, go and get to know me, if you don't know how to do it, go there."  Let's do it." Shen Chongwu said: "Sister Zhen, you are too timid, you should try more, this is a shopping mall, not a battlefield, you can't die." As he spoke, he opened the door of the presidential suite.  After walking a few steps, I felt something was wrong. When I looked back, I saw Zeng Lizhen standing in the corridor, with red eyes and crying.  "Oh, don't cry, don't cry." This was the first time he encountered this kind of thing. Shen Chong was a little overwhelmed. He was stunned for a while, so he had to wave his hand and said: "If you have anything to do, come in and talk about it. Don't stand there. Let's talk about it."  It's so bad for people to see, I don't blame you." When Zeng Lizhen walked into the room, Shen Chong closed the door, asked her to sit down, gave her a box of tissues, and said, "Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't.  Cry, I¡¯m most afraid of women crying.¡±Fortunately, Zeng Lizhen quickly controlled her emotions. She wiped her tears with a tissue and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I lost my temper." "It's okay, everyone has difficult times." Shen Chong sat on her  The other person on the other side said, "You look like this, have you suffered a lot?" "Little Japan is so abominable." Zeng Lizhen sniffed and gritted her teeth and said, "I have bought more than ten plane tickets this month.  , flew back and forth, and showed their sincerity, they refused to let go. Yesterday, they added new conditions, saying that Miura Yukazuya would be added to the crew, a role would be specially designed for him, and a salary of 500,000 US dollars would be required.  I really shouldn't have asked for Japanese people to act in the movie. This is not paying people to film. I'm just spending money to make myself uncomfortable and begging my grandfather and grandma everywhere" After venting for a while, she  She calmed down and said: "Momoe Yamaguchi doesn't want to go to Hong Kong to film at all. Her salary for filming in Japan is at most 500,000 US dollars, and she offered us 3 million. She also made various conditions, Mr. Shen, how about we  Let's ask someone else to take the photo. She's not the only one who's famous in Japan.  But we also have a condition." "What?" "After filming this movie, Yamaguchi Momoe cannot accept any new movies," Shen Chong said, "We have to make sure that "Die Hard" is her retirement movie.  "Mr. Shen, this" Zeng Lizhen said a little uncertainly: "You want to buy out Yamaguchi Momoe's acting career?" "Even if I am as rich as the country, I can't compete with Japan. How can I buy her out?"  "Shen Chong laughed. He stood up, walked to the mini bar, picked up the glass, poured a glass of water, handed it to her, and said, "I heard that Yamaguchi Momoe agreed to Miura Yuka's proposal. According to Japanese tradition,  , if she gets married, she will quit the entertainment industry. Since she spent 3 million, she will naturally make the most of it. Her fans are very crazy. They gave "Die Hard" a gimmick of retirement, which is very good for the box office.  "It's beneficial." "What about Miura Yuka?" "Also promise them." Shen Chong poured himself another glass of water, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Give him a small role, and he will die miserably."  "But he wants a salary of 500,000 yuan, which is too high." Zeng Lizhen held the cup and said: "If this happens, the budget will exceed the budget, and I am not willing to let him take so much money for no reason." "It doesn't matter,  For the sake of your crying, I will help you once and let the Japanese pay for it." Shen Chong laughed twice, took out a business card from his pocket, then picked up the phone next to the sofa and said:  "I'll make a call." After the call was connected, Shen Chong first spoke a few sentences in Japanese, and then changed to English. After chatting for a few minutes, he put down the phone and said to Zeng Lizhen: "Okay, tomorrow you take my business card,  Bring the movie proposal and go to Sony's advertising department. " Zeng Lizhen had repeatedly encountered obstacles in Japan, and her confidence had hit rock bottom. Seeing that he was speaking lightly and contacting a world-class electrical appliance company, she was a little unbelievable and said hesitantly.  : ¡°Will Sony agree to sponsor?  " Shen Chong turned over the business card in his hand, held it up for her to see, and said, "Do you know who this person is?  "Akio Morita, Ak-It" Zeng Lizhen read out the English name on the business card with some difficulty, and then asked: "Who is he?" "Sister Zhen, you usually need to know more about business information. If you make movies, you can  I don¡¯t understand movies, but I can¡¯t understand business.¡± Shen Chong took back his business card and said, ¡°Akio Morita is the chairman of Sony.¡± Zeng Lizhen¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Don¡¯t be so surprised.  Shen Chong smiled slyly, pointed at himself, and said, "I am honored to inform you that the person sitting in front of you is Sony's largest individual share holder and strategic partner."  "Yes, Shen Chong's biggest purpose in coming to Japan this time is for Sony. The speculation in gold futures is coming to an end. Shen Chong has made more than 300 million U.S. dollars. At this time, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen is 1:0 and Sony  The stock price of the planning company is just over RU0 yen, which can be said to be a bargain price. It is a good time to snap up. Shen Chong is preparing to build his own "Film Power" laboratory to specialize in developing new technologies in film. Sony has a lot of experience in video and audio.  With profound technical accumulation and strong R&D capabilities, there was tam video tape technology before, and now there is aIkmau, and in the future there will be CDs, high-definition cameras and other digital audio-visual products. These things are all things he dreamed of in the mainland in the early RU era.  The scientific research capabilities of digital products are basically blank. Hong Kong and Taiwan have never done much in scientific research. Over in the United States, Texas Instruments, which owns the key technology of digital movies, is a semi-military company. Shen Chong cannot start, so  Establishing a cooperative relationship with Sony, whose stock price is low, is obviously impossible to acquire Sony, but if you can own enough shares and become a member of the board of directors, you can easily control it.Only by grasping R&D trends and certain key technical information and relying on big trees can your own research laboratory develop rapidly.  Sony is the company with the most international ownership structure among Japanese companies, and the epoch-making aIkmau has been successfully developed but has not yet been launched on the market, so the stock price is low. There is no better time to start now.
