China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 566 564. Play football? Don’t even bother with face (-in-)

"A musical feast, this is a collision of music from China, Japan and South Korea."

"Carnival, a complete carnival, after listening to the whole concert, I don't want to leave at all!"

"This is the first time I have seen the charm of Chinese music. Although our singers are also great, I have to admit that Chinese singers are even better."

"The atmosphere of the scene makes me intoxicated. I feel like I will lose sleep tonight."

"I will buy the tickets for the next concert in Shencheng in Huaxia. I want to listen to it again."

"The song "Mrs. Shexiang" is really nice. I went back and checked the information. It turns out that this song is about a very powerful Chinese group."

"For the first time I really fell in love with a Chinese singer"

"That Chinese guy named Cao Yu can build the strongest entertainment company in Korea and have so many outstanding singers in China. I admire him so much."

"There are several songs tonight that are written and composed by that Cao Yu. This person is a bit scary."

……

The performance of the Chinese singers at this concert spread like a storm, and the Japanese Internet was full of opinions about this concert.

After they went back, they even searched for other songs of Legend of the Phoenix on the Internet. After listening to it, they still felt like they had discovered a new world.

Songs such as "Lang's Temptation" and "Above the Moon" were once again hit by ear-catching songs, and I liked this Chinese group even more.

Some Japanese people are still looking forward to when the Tokyo branch of Fei'e Video will be ready, and some entrust Chinese friends to buy Phoenix Legend's album on their behalf.

"This is a special concert. It is said to be a concert, but in fact it is more like a singing competition. There are youthful Korean groups, legendary singers from Japan, and new generation Chinese musicians. Although the concert is over , but the sound still lingers in everyone’s ears and cannot be let go.”

The media in China also reported the success of this concert with praise.

On Huaxia’s Weibo, some fans’ selfie clips were leaked, making countless Huaxia fans look forward to the concert tour that will start in five major cities next month.

Not to mention the shock brought by Ayumi Hamasaki's "MY ALL", "Mrs. Luxury Fragrance" made people re-recognize the legend of the Phoenix Emperor.

Those who used to say they were stupid didn't say a word.

If it were really earthy, could it have that kind of live effect? Can a singer and dancer be pressed to the ground and rubbed?

The song "Lady Luxury", which was not very famous before, suddenly became popular in China because of this concert.

On this day, people paid more attention to this concert than the news that the box office of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" exceeded 200 million.

Many Chinese audiences began to ask where they could buy tickets for the next concert, but after checking for a long time, they found that the tickets were not on sale yet.

After the Tokyo concert ended, Cao Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, he held a small celebration banquet for Feiyu Entertainment. He only gave everyone in Huaxia a day off to visit Japan.

The next day, he returned to Seoul with FNC singers.

The MV for T-ARA's "CRY CRY" is about to go on sale. In addition, Huanyu Group will also be released after the May Day holiday. After he is busy with FNC, he has to go to Xiangjiang to play with Yang Shuxue.

However, the first thing Cao Yu did when he returned to Seoul was to call the "troll" Liu Huaying to his office.

"Tomorrow you go to Los Angeles, find Bob at Universal Pictures, and tell me that I will let you participate in "Fast and Furious 5"."

"Really?"

Liu Huaying had a very bad time in FNC. After leaving T-ARA, she was almost in a state of half-hidden.

His rapping is so-so, but his singing skills are average, and he still doesn't meet the requirements of being a solo singer.

Furthermore, because he had falsely accused T-ARA before by pretending to be a cripple, no one wanted to change jobs. His boss didn't give him any arrangements for acting, and he couldn't get into variety shows. He was just dawdling in the company and couldn't make any money.

Although Chairman Cao had promised her before that she would arrange for her to go to the United States to film, a year had passed and her boss didn't mention it, so she didn't dare to ask.

Now that Chairman Cao finally remembered this matter, Liu Huaying almost wanted to throw herself into his arms.

Unfortunately, the cold look on her boss's face prevented her from making a mistake.

"Go tomorrow, don't forget."

Cao Yu didn't want to see the face of this troll, he really wanted to mosaic her.

As soon as Liu Huaying left, Cao Yu called Bob: "Mr. Bob, I said last time that we would arrange for a Korean actress to star in "Fast and Furious 5". She will go there in two days. During the filming, , try not to get her hurt."

"Try? Don't get hurt?"

Bob was stunned when he heard this strange request.

What do you mean?
Our filming is generally quite safe, and no actors will get hurt without you telling us.

But this Chinese Cao Yu specifically brought it up, could it be...
He immediately tried and said: "I will try my best, just in case."

"What if it happens? There's nothing we can do about it, but we must insure the actors."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he felt that Bob should be able to understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "I still have a good script here, let's talk about it next time we meet."

"I understand."

Sure enough, Bob understood that he wanted to hurt this woman. Could it be that Boss Cao was entangled with this woman and wanted to get rid of her?
It must be like this.

Bob's clever mind felt that his guess was right.

There will be good scripts in the future, haha, as long as they can make money. If a bad actor is injured, he will be injured. There is insurance.

After getting rid of Liu Huaying, Cao Yu hung up the phone and hoped that this troll would always be in a wheelchair.

"If you like a wheelchair, just sit in it for the rest of your life!"

With a sneer in his heart, he picked up the documents on the table.

The song "CRY CRY" that T-ARA immediately released was considered one of the group's representative songs that year, and it ranked first in music downloads for half a year.

The crazy step dances of several girls triggered a frenzy of imitation, ranking thirteenth in various chart-topping programs, and the plot MV became extremely popular in China, becoming one of the pinnacles of T-ARA. song.

He believes that when it is launched on May 4th, T-ARA will definitely be able to crush it all the way.

In the next two days, China was still celebrating the May Day holiday, but Cao Yu was busy selecting actors for "Sunshine Sisters".

Through the movie "Strange She", Quan Baolan has already gained a certain reputation as an actor, and her acting skills have also improved a lot. She will naturally have no problem starring as the female lead in "Sunny Sisters".

The second female lead is Li Juli, the first Korean girl he has accepted, so Cao Yu naturally has to take more care of her.

The third female lead was given to Lim Yoona, and the fourth female lead was Park Hyo Min.

Fortunately, there are many female characters in this movie. T-ARA’s Ham Eun-jung, Park Ji-yeon and others, as well as several girls from Girls’ Generation, have all been arranged to make guest appearances.

"As expected, the president has not forgotten us."

Kwon Yuri was very happy when she got the news that she would also appear in the company's movie: "I have to find an opportunity to express my feelings to the chairman OPPA."

But before she could do this, Cao Yu had already left.

In the early morning of May 4th, the album "CRY CRY" was officially released.

With the help of Cao Yu and T-ARA's reputation, they created a terrifying record of 300,000 copies in one day. When other entertainment companies started promoting FNC's song, they chose to avoid its edge and did not dare to compete with Chairman Cao.

In just half a day, the first part of the MV in this album set off a storm. Both male and female fans were fascinated by the naughty Park Ji-yeon in T-ARA.

"Although the plot is a bit bloody, for a music MV, it is really a very conscientious production."

"This song "CRY CRY" is also so good. This song is repeated throughout the 15-minute MV. The fast and slow versions are not inconsistent with each other. The more you listen to the plot, the more addictive you become."

"It's not ridiculous. I was so moved when I saw it. I really want to see the next part."

"Looking forward to the next part +1, I also want to go to the singing venue to watch them dance"

"As expected of the Variety Group, Jiyeon, the maknae who is usually not very eye-catching, really looks so handsome to me!"

"Song Joong-ki, who plays the villain, is so handsome, and Agassi is so charming to me."

"When will the next part come out?"

……

After the fans watched the MV, the entire fan club was in quarrel. They all felt that FNC was really conscientious and was the only one to shoot such a large-scale MV for a song.

Although other artists in FNC are very envious, everyone knows that T-ARA is the president's favorite in the company, and no one can compare to this.

However, all of this was beyond Cao Yu's expectation. On the night when T-ARA's album was released, he had already arrived in Hong Kong covered with travel.

"Dear, congratulations to "Into the Dust" for its three-day holiday on May 1st, which has a box office of more than 140 million. Your little lover's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has a box office of 84 million on the first day of its release. The box office actually exceeded 200 million, which is amazing.”

In the luxurious suite, Yang Shuxue was wearing a nightgown and sipping red wine. When she saw Cao Yulai, she had a charming smile on her face and her charm remained unchanged.

Cao Yu took the wine glass in her hand and took a sip: "Qianxi is my little lover, what about you?"

"Old lover."

"What a lover, no matter how unpleasant it sounds, it's all about being a lover."

Cao Yu said, holding her in his arms: "Are you jealous?"

"I don't have enough time."

Yang Shuxue looked arrogant at first, then smiled charmingly, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "I know you are very busy, but don't be too tired. You look a little haggard now."

"Really?" Cao touched his face and felt that he had lost a little weight recently. He smiled bitterly and said: "In these days in Han Bang, I make pickles every day. It would be strange if I don't lose weight."

"Did you eat too much kimchi, or did kimchi girl eat too much?"

"Kimchi girl? Shu Xue, you've learned too much."

"You taught me how to be bad."

The two made some jokes, but Yang Shuxue still touched Cao Yu's cheek with some distress: "The best age for a man is between twenty and thirty. You are already twenty-eight now. Don't dare to be careful like before. Body, color is a bone scraper.”

"Then you don't have to pay the public food tonight?"

"I'll spare you tonight, but tomorrow night, hum."

"Just kidding, I'm okay."

"Actually, just holding me is enough."

Yang Shuxue let Cao Yu lean against her and stroked his hair: "It's been eight years since we've known each other. It's so fast."

When Cao Yu came to Xiangjiang, Ma Yun also arrived in the United States.

"Mr. Jobs, how are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ma, it's okay."

Although Jobs has lost a lot of weight compared to last year, he is still in good spirits.

After a few words of greeting, Ma Yun said: "Mr. Jobs, when I come to the United States this time, the first reason is to see you, and the second reason is to talk to you about something."

"Mr. Ma, please speak."

Now in the international market, Apple was first abused by Huawei. Recently, Samsung also launched a new smartphone, and it soon gained a large market share. This made Apple's situation even more difficult.

Jobs had heard of Ma Yun. If he could come up with good ideas, he might be able to make Apple rise.

Furthermore, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They have a common enemy, and that is the almost evil Cao Yu.

Ma Yun smiled and said: "I have a suggestion. Mr. Jobs can build Apple mobile phones and Apple computers into luxury brands, focusing on high-end people, and those who like to pursue high prices will also pursue them, so that sales will increase."

"hiss"

When Jobs heard this suggestion, he frowned and then suddenly woke up.

This is taking advantage of people's vanity. If you sell it cheaply to Huawei, then I will sell it more expensively, twice or even three times more than the normal price, and then package it to make it a luxury item that ordinary people cannot enjoy!

"Mr. Ma, your idea is really good!"

He immediately gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Then how do you plan to operate it?"

"Advertising, Internet promotion, artificially creating holidays, mobilizing and using women's vanity to make men pay the bill."

Ma Yun has been thinking about how to deal with Cao Yu during this time.

He came up with this idea after he lost countless brain cells, read books about capital several times, and lost a lot of hair.

But when he said this, he smiled and said: "China is a huge market. As long as Mr. Jobs gives Ali the online sales rights for Apple mobile phones and computers, our Tudou Video, Wangxin Chat, etc. will be installed by default on your mobile phones. Tmall and other software will do.”

His purpose is to show the high-end nature of his software. With the blessing of a high-end image, membership fees will naturally be charged more, and the advertisements on the platform will also be high-end, so profits will naturally be greater.

As for the 30% tax on Apple, it doesn’t matter since the wool comes from the sheep.

The effect he wants is that only the rich use Apple to watch Tudou videos and chat with Wangxin, while only the poor use other brands of mobile phones.

"no problem!"

Jobs naturally agreed to such a request, and then said: "Then what do you think is the appropriate price for our mobile phones in China?"

Ma Yun smiled and said: "The starting price is 8,000 yuan, which is about 1,200 US dollars. This price is not a problem for the rich. Ordinary people can afford it just for the sake of face."

"Twelve hundred dollars?"

When Jobs heard the price, he fell silent.

Now, in order to compete with Huawei and Samsung in the market, Apple has always set the price at around 300 US dollars. The price given by Ma Yun has been increased four times?
If Apple can really be turned into a luxury product, not only will the brand image be improved, but it will also be able to be harvested and harvested again and again in China. Why not?
He thought for a while, nodded and said: "I can install your company's software, and I can also inject $300 million into your Tudou Video to help you advertise in China!"

Three hundred million US dollars is indeed a lot, but if it can open up the Chinese market, Jobs thinks it is worth it.

Besides, the US$300 million is also an investment. If Tudou Video’s stock price rises in the future, this investment may appreciate in value.

"Thank you so much!"

Ma Yun felt that this was an unexpected gain. Three hundred million US dollars was not a small number.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Ma Yunxing hurried back with the deceived contract and a large sum of money.

Apple's second-in-command, Cook, looked at the car driving away, shook his head and said, "Steve, I feel like this guy named Jack is a liar."

"He is not a liar, he is a smart man. What he said is a good method. We can also use this method in the global market, but if things go on like this, there will be more men in China who don't want to find girlfriends."

Jobs sighed, knowing the consequences of this operation, but he just sighed.

In the eyes of capitalists, making money is the first priority.

After leaving Apple, Ma Yun couldn't wait to call Zhao Yanzi: "Look for scripts and pitch them for film and television dramas. In addition, use your connections to see if you can embed Apple phones into other films. You must let them be used in film and television dramas." Every rich person owns an iPhone!”

After making the call, Ma Yun leaned back on her seat and thought to herself: "In addition to these, we also need to create some festivals, like Double Eleven, to subtly let men pay for women."

Ma Yun is busy making Tudou Video look high-end. On May 5th, the day of Huanyu Group's listing has arrived.

9 a.m., Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations."

"Mr. Yang, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are still so beautiful."

"Boss Cao, I didn't expect you to come too."

Huanyu Group is now one of the largest real estate companies. The company owns many properties in first-, second- and third-tier cities in China, and even has many projects abroad.

In addition to real estate, the group also has more than 30 commercial plazas and cinemas, and more than a dozen five-star hotels. For such a real estate enterprise to be listed on the market, many bosses in the real estate industry naturally want to come to congratulate it.

Cao Yu accompanied Yang Shuxue and shook hands with bosses such as Wanda, Vanke and Country Garden one by one.

But beside Wang Jianlin, there was a young man following.

When Wang Sicong saw Boss Cao, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, regardless of his father's presence: "Mr. Cao, you are such a busy man. I have looked for you several times but could not find you. May I buy you a drink later?"

"Have you graduated?"

Cao Yu has now handed over the company's LOL e-sports team to Wang Sicong, and has not taken care of it for a long time.

Wang Sicong nodded and said: "I just graduated last year and will develop in China in the future. Let's talk after Mr. Cao is finished. I have many things to ask you."

Of course Wang Jianlin was very happy that his son wanted to be friends with Cao Yu.

Boss Cao is now the richest man in Asia. If he gives his son some advice, he might be able to help him take off.

At this time, a middle-aged man came from the crowd. When he saw Cao Yu, he came over with a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Cao, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Hello, Boss Xu."

Cao Yu had seen the man in front of him many times on TV.

Boss Xu smiled and said: "I just named a football team this year. I plan to make it the best team in China. Are you interested in playing together?"

"football?"

Cao Yu also watched football before he was reborn. He has been a fan since the top ten games in 97. He witnessed the black ten minutes in 97, which he will never forget.

Later, as Aunt Baiyun said, the more I looked at it, the more worried I became.

In the end, all those people lost their faces.

play ball? And play a ball!

And he doesn't like gambling. The year of his rebirth was the dirtiest World Cup in 02. He didn't even participate in gambling. He was completely disappointed with this sport.

Boss Xu said: "Yes, I am very optimistic about this team. I think as long as you are willing to spend money and buy big-name players, you will definitely win the championship. If you are willing to play together, I will add you to the team's title."

Boss Cao is the richest man, and any amount of money will make the team's reputation greatly increase.

But Cao Yu didn't say anything, but he also knew that Hengtai's team won eight championships that year, which indeed made this local real estate company national.

While he was hesitating, Wang Jianlin on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Cao, the domestic football environment is not good, so I don't want to play anymore. If you want to play, you can play overseas."

When Boss Xu heard this, he became very angry: "Damn, this is a way to tear me down."

However, he didn't want to get angry on the spot and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, there is no problem that money can't solve. If you have the opportunity, come to my company to talk. I also want to start a dance troupe recently, and I want to learn from you."

"talk later."

Cao Yu did not agree, but just smiled and said: "The bell is about to ring, let's talk about it later."
