The richest man

Chapter 170 China News Agency

……

……

A week later, the spokespersons of Walkman were selected, namely Zhu Mingyue and Farah Fawcett.

Farah Fawcett also flew to Hong Kong immediately to sign a contract with Legend Technology.

Zhang Jun also finally saw the real person. The American beauty Farrah Fawcett gave him the biggest impression of her thick golden hair, like a golden waterfall, very beautiful, but her appearance is not too delicate, with tough lines. His skin is bronze in color, but he has a cheerful and lively smile on his face, which may be more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners today.Wearing a pair of light blue jeans on the lower body and a white shirt on the upper body, she has a tall and graceful figure, with a pair of trembling mountain peaks, about to break through the buttons.

Zhang Jun was a little disappointed. The photo must have been edited. Obviously, the real person is much worse than the photo, and it's not his style anyway.

"I still appreciate the beauty of oriental people!"

Zhang Jun shook his head secretly.

Farrah Fawcett was a little nervous and looking forward to it. She had even made some psychological preparations, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jun basically didn't contact her much after that, except for saying hello to her at the beginning. she.There is no unspoken rule that I expected at all...

On the contrary, I saw that Zhang Jun was very intimate with another spokesperson of Walkman.

"I heard that Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qinxia are candidates for Walkman's endorsement in Asia. Why did you choose me instead of them?" Zhu Mingyue asked seriously, staring into Zhang Jun's eyes.

Zhang Jun smiled, and walked towards Zhu Mingyue. With a wall dong, Zhu Mingyue was pressed against the wall. The two were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing and smell each other's fragrance.

"Then why do you say?" Zhang Jun raised his mouth slightly and asked back.

"I, how do I know..." Zhu Mingyue was slightly taken aback, and immediately got out from under Zhang Jun's arms, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help feeling shy just now for some reason.

Zhang Jun watched Zhu Mingyue run away as if fleeing, and couldn't help smiling, it's quite interesting to flirt with beautiful women if it's okay.

The spokesperson of the Walkman only needs to take photo shoots, posters and advertising videos.

All done in a week.

Farrah Fawcett has yet to beg Jun Zhang to cast her in Jurassic Park.

In fact, Zhang Jun had left Lin Qinxia as the hostess choice.

And the male protagonist chooses a white Hollywood actor with good acting skills, and there is no requirement for popularity.In fact, the real protagonist of this movie is a dinosaur, and what everyone sees is also a dinosaur. The importance of male and female protagonists is not very important.Of course, for the European and American markets, most of the actors in this film are white.

In addition to Lin Qingxia who will play the heroine of the film, Cheng Long will play a supporting role - the security guard of Jurassic Park.It would be good to add a little humorous action design to the film. For example, Cheng Long played all kinds of strange tricks to avoid the attack of dinosaurs, which made the film exciting and make everyone laugh!
By the end of May, the popularity of "Jurassic Park" began to decrease.

The novel's sales dropped from the weekly US bestseller list, ranking just outside the top ten.

However, the total sales volume of books was astonishing, as high as 200 million, with a profit of 20 US dollars per book. After several months, Zhang Jun and Penguin Publishing earned a total of 6.4 million US dollars!
"My dear, I never thought that I could make so much money selling books. I remember that "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E. L. James sold 2011 million copies in 1520. "Jurassic Park" This book sold more than twice as much as his, and it will definitely be more by the end of the year, which is unbelievable!"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

But he is very clear that the reason why "Jurassic Park" can sell so many books is inseparable from his being a Uranus superstar and several other identities.

This also strengthened his determination to become famous.

Fame can be exchanged for money!

……

……

June 6st is International Children's Day.

At noon on this day, Legendary Technology Company and Universal Music Company jointly held a product launch conference, and the launch site was arranged at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel was originally a property owned by Hongkong Land. Zhang Jun acquired Hongkong Land, and this hotel naturally became a hotel under Zhang Jun's name.

The Mandarin Oriental is a luxury hotel comparable to The Peninsula Hong Kong.

The hotel LOGO is a black unfolded folding fan, which has an oriental charm. Zhang Jun likes it very much and decided to open Mandarin Oriental Hotel all over the world.

At this moment, major media from all over the world flocked to the event.

"Legend Technology Company held a product launch conference really fast, and looking at today's formation, it feels quite big..."

"It's strange that Universal Music Company is also involved..."

The reporters talked about it in twos and threes, and they were all curious.

When he was young, Zhang Jun was like a prince charming, walking on stage in a white suit.

Seeing Zhang Jun appearing on the stage, the noise of the audience stopped abruptly.

Zhang Jun took the microphone handed over by the staff and walked to the middle of the stage.

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhang Jun. Welcome to the press conference jointly held by Legendary Technology and Universal Music!"

"Today's press conference is not easy, because we will release an epoch-making electronic product!"

"Earing is believing, seeing is believing, now let's see an advertising video!"

After finishing speaking, the big screen behind the stage lit up, and then the Walkman commercial started playing.

The sun is shining brightly, and the green lawn is like an endless green ocean. In the green ocean, there is a lush big locust tree. The heroine Farrah Fawcett is sitting under the big locust tree reading a book, with the breeze blowing, her long hair fluttering, and the sun shining through The gaps in the leaves are sprinkled on Farrah Fawcett's face, and the picture is extremely beautiful.

At this moment, she suddenly took out a blue, palm-sized cuboid electronic product Walkman from her bag, then put on the earphones, picked out a tape and put it in, and then started listening to music.

At this time, the music started, and Farrah Fawcett closed his eyes and listened quietly, his head bobbing with the melody of the music from time to time.

Someone in the audience couldn't help but let out a gasp.

Obviously, they have figured out that this small cuboid box is a miniature version of a tape recorder.

The commercial was still going on at this time. Farrah Fawcett stood up and ran along the mountain road wearing headphones until his back gradually disappeared... Finally, a line of words and narration popped up in the commercial: "Walkman, small and stylish, smooth Listen without hindrance!"

Now there is no need for Zhang Jun to waste a lot of time on the introduction, everyone already knows what a Walkman is.

There was an exclamation from the audience.

"This product is so convenient, it really deserves to be a Walkman, you can listen to music anytime, anywhere!" a reporter from "Time" magazine praised.

A female guest stared at the Walkman on the screen with glowing eyes, "I must buy the Walkman as soon as possible!"

Distributors have shown surprise color.

"The person who invented the Walkman is really a genius. This thing is small and exquisite, you can put it in your pocket, and you can listen to music anytime, anywhere. I bet that once this product is launched, it will definitely cause consumers to snap up it!"

"Yes, this product, I really like it, it is indeed like what Zhang Jun said, it is an epoch-making electronic product!!!"

"..."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the global market for Walkman is huge, and the legendary technology company is about to make a fortune this time!
There was always a warm smile on Zhang Jun's face. He coughed twice, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The sound quality of the Walkman is very good. It uses a AA battery. If you keep listening to music, it can last for a long time." Up to 5 hours!"

"Everyone must be most concerned about the price."

"So how much does the Walkman retail for?"

Zhang Jun paused for a moment, and deliberately stopped for a while.

After waiting for everyone to get anxious, he said: "The retail price is: 199 US dollars!"

"Yes, it's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."

"I can buy such a product for $199, I think it's a profit!"

"Listen to music anytime, anywhere without talking, but also show your own fashion!"

After Zhang Jun finished speaking, the audience immediately cheered.

At $199, many people can afford it, which is considered a conscience price.

In fact, if mass-produced, the Walkman's production cost is very low, less than 40 US dollars.The external wholesale price is US$140, and the net profit is more than US$100.

Zhang Jun looked down the stage and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, the press conference is not over yet!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience became quiet.

Zhang Jun said: "What I'm going to talk about next is also related to Walkman. I have recorded a new album "Monsters". This album will be jointly sold with Walkman to form a package."

"The unit price of the new album is 15 dollars. If you are going to buy a Walkman now and are willing to spend 11 dollars more, the total is 210 dollars, then the Walkman and the new album are yours!"

"That way, you save $4."

At this moment, the audience was shocked.

"What did I hear?! Oh my God, Zhang Jun has released a new album!!!" A female fan covered her mouth in surprise and yelled, she was so excited that she couldn't believe it!

There was a lot of discussion.

The whole venue is like a vegetable market.

The fans were emotional and screamed again and again, and some fans even wanted to rush to the stage and hug Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun was afraid for a while, and quickly slipped away.

The press conference is now over.

In the afternoon, the news of Walkman and Zhang Jun's new album spread, causing a huge sensation.

At the same time, Walkman commercials were broadcast on major TV stations around the world, attracting the attention of countless consumers.

Walkman and the new album are also on the shelves of the "Legend" store for the first time.

Customers came after hearing the news.

More than 430 "Legend" stores around the world are crowded with people.

75 Walkman units and 440 million new albums were sold that day.

Self-owned store, there is no middleman to make the difference, and the profit is higher.

When Zhang Jun saw the data, his face was filled with excitement.

"This is a big fortune!"

"The decision to establish a specialty store is indeed correct, and it will continue!"

I have to say that the combination of Walkman and Zhang Jun's new album is really scary, and the linkage effect is really great.

In the past week, more than 300 million Walkmans were sold out.

And Zhang Jun's new album has 1400 million copies, and it is also sold out.

Two factories are currently working overtime production.

At this moment, consumers in the Legend store were very dissatisfied. After waiting in line for so long, the Walkman was sold out, which made them very upset.

When the news reached Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun thought about it and decided to make a reservation. He could reserve a Walkman for $100.

As soon as this plan came out, consumers reluctantly accepted it and began to make reservations one after another, fearing that they would not be able to get it next time.

"Legend Technology Company's Walkman manufacturing factory, the production speed is too rubbish, the production capacity is so low, the monthly production capacity is only about 40, and it has the ability to increase it to 100 million!"

"Oh, there are a lot of people who have pre-ordered. I don't know when the goods will be available. It's really difficult. If I had known, I would have come and queued up earlier. The products of Legend Technology are always so popular. I have summed up my experience, Legend The next time a technology company promotes a new product, I will queue up to buy it as soon as possible!!!”

"Hehe, it's another old routine of hunger marketing, but why do I still find it delicious~"

"..."

The outside world was dumbfounded at this time.

"This is sold out! There are more than 300 million Walkmans, how much money does Legend Technology Company have to make!"

"As soon as Zhang Jun's new album came out, the fans were ecstatic and rushed to buy it. They sold out tens of millions of stocks. This is so awesome! But having said that, Zhang Jun's new album " Monsters", it really sounds good! I love it!!!”

"..."

Walkman and Zhang Jun's new album is like a tornado, sweeping the world.

The headlines of the world's major media are all related to Walkman and Zhang Jun's new album, especially the entertainment, financial and electronic newspapers, which are almost blowing Zhang Jun and Walkman to the sky.

Many companies are beating their chests. The technology of the Walkman is not too difficult. As long as it is developed, it will definitely be developed. If it is cheaper than a Hong Kong company.

Especially Philips, the cassette tape was invented by Philips, but the legendary technology company produced a revolutionary personal portable music player-Walkman.

At the moment, Philips regrets it.

Japan, Sony Corporation.

In the conference room, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open, their eyes full of astonishment.

They only started to establish the Walkman project last week.

As a result, the legendary technology company has already produced the finished product.

Everyone is speechless, the research and development crashed, and it was so unlucky.

Seeing that the Walkman became popular all over the world and became a phenomenal product, the executives of Sony were all jealous and jealous, thinking that if Sony could establish the project earlier, then the Walkman market might belong to Sony.

"It's a pity!" The president of Sony Electronics shook his head and sighed.

Sony's most eye-catching product is the TV, but the TV industry is relatively competitive. In this era, Sony, which lacks the Walkman halo bonus, may not be able to reach the heights of its previous life.

Moreover, Zhang Jun will not let Sony develop PS game consoles, suppression is inevitable...

……

Walkman exploded, and the new album sold well.

Zhang Jun's wealth has increased dramatically, and his popularity has also skyrocketed.

Now he dare not go out.

Many fans and reporters squatted near his home or downstairs of the company. Once he appeared, he would be surrounded by these people.

Zhang Jun feels that he should keep a low profile and stay at home recently.

Hold on tight, don't wave.

At the same time, Zhang Jun sent $1 million to Blackwater International Mercenary Company to support the company's expansion.

Blackwater International Mercenary Company has established a firm foothold in South Africa, completed more than 20 employment missions, and is already well-known in Africa.Currently, the company has 3500 mercenary members, 45 senior consultants and 110 instructors.

Most of the senior consultants are military officers in active service, and Blackwater International Mercenary Company pays them high salaries in order to build up network resources.

……

"Boss, you are so comfortable hiding at home, and you can still read books leisurely, and the outside world is talking about you!" Hu Peng said to Zhang Jun with a smile when he visited.

Zhang Jun put down "The Count of Monte Cristo" in his hand, smiled, and then asked Hu Peng, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Hu Peng nodded and said: "Well, I have an idea. I plan to let the Hong Kong Daily Group set up a large-scale news agency, build a global editing and editing network, collect news around the world, and then provide it to domestic newspapers, radio and television. Also send these news to subscribers abroad!"

After Zhang Jun listened, he immediately understood what Hu Peng meant, thought for a while, and said: "The four major news agencies in the world are the Associated Press, United Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse. I hope that our news agency can become the world's No. The five major news agencies!"

Hu Peng got excited when Zhang Jun agreed.

If you want to rely on the Hong Kong Daily Group's own strength to establish a news agency, it will be too difficult, short of funds, and time-consuming.

"I plan to invest 5 million US dollars in Hong Kong Daily Group, do you think this much money is enough?"

Master the public opinion, master the right to speak!
Zhang Jun has spent a lot of money this time, and decided to build a powerful news agency.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but look to the north. It is now 1976. After two years, the reform and opening up will start there, and Hong Kong will be taken back in the future. If he controls a powerful news agency, he will definitely be wooed by the other party. .

In the future, if you invest in the mainland by yourself, the conditions will definitely be extremely favorable.

Of course, the main task of the news agency is to collect and edit news for newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations... I also need to purchase more propaganda media.

The $5 million will not only be used to establish a news agency, but also to acquire newspapers.

"Enough, completely enough!!!" Hu Peng nodded quickly.

This is really overjoyed, he did not expect to get a huge investment of 5 million US dollars.

Zhang Jun ordered: "After getting the funds into the account, go shopping around the world for me, and at least ensure that you have a newspaper with great influence in each country and region!!"

"Well, I understand!" Hu Peng nodded excitedly.Hong Kong Daily Group currently only has great influence in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and has also acquired many well-known local newspapers.However, it is a bit difficult to open up the European and American markets. The best way is to directly acquire well-known local newspapers.

5 million US dollars is very valuable in this era, not only can build a very powerful news agency, but also build a world-class newspaper empire.

Many newspapers have their own editorial department.

After the Hong Kong Daily Group buys these newspapers, it can completely merge them into the name of the news agency, and the newspapers will buy news directly from the news agency in the future.

"By the way, boss, what's the name of our news agency?"

As for the name, Zhang Jun thought about it and said loudly, "China News Agency!"

"Okay, boss!"

Hu Peng said goodbye and left.

Zhang Jun was so excited that he couldn't help but look forward to hearing the host say at the beginning when watching TV, "According to the China News Agency..."

……

Hu Peng acted quite quickly. After receiving the funds, he immediately mobilized and dispatched elites from the group to establish news agency branches all over the world.At the same time, according to Zhang Jun's order, a buying frenzy started.

Soon, the Hong Kong media discovered that the "Hong Kong No. [-] Brother" Daily Group had gone crazy and launched acquisition offers to well-known newspapers in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea one after another.

And they also received an official notice from the Hong Kong Daily Group: The China News Agency was established, and all major newspapers, radio stations and TV stations can purchase news from it.

As soon as this news came out, many weak newspapers were immediately excited.

Small newspapers are weak and have a small editorial team, so it is difficult to obtain current affairs news.

Well now, you only need to spend a little money to buy from China News Agency, and you can get the current hot news.

It can be said that the establishment of China News Agency has had a huge impact on Hong Kong's media industry, and many newspapers will choose to lay off staff in the future.
