Island Tycoon

Chapter 184 Journey to the Island Country (3)

"No. 2-2, [-]-chome, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, this is it." Nakamori Akina compared the address information in her hand, pointed to a building in front of her and told Ye Jingcheng.

"Then go up." Even though Dongbao didn't show his due hospitality, Ye Jingcheng couldn't give up this opportunity to discuss with the other party just because of some formal etiquette.

Nakamori Akina led the way into the building, and first negotiated with the guard at the door.The guard first looked at the group, then called the leader to ask for instructions, and finally asked them to take the elevator to the third floor.

When Ye Jingcheng and others came to the third floor, a female receptionist at the front desk greeted them proactively.But other than her, the other two receptionists simply glanced over them at the moment the elevator door opened, and then continued their work.

One of them continued talking on the phone, while the other was looking around with a mirror, as if subconsciously ignoring the existence of Ye Jingcheng and others.

If what they are doing now is what they are used to doing on weekdays, it is hard for Ye Jingcheng to imagine that there are such employees, what advantage does Dongbao have to achieve its current scale, so that these 'small' details can be completely ignored.

But he believed that these superficial phenomena were just Dongbao's means to put him aside.In order to wear down his patience in advance, he will become more passive when it comes time to negotiate.

The receptionist bowed very politely, and then communicated with Akina Nakamori, who was the translator, and the message from Akina Nakamori was that the person in charge of Dongbao had not returned yet, and Ye Jingcheng and others were asked to wait in the living room first. moment.Or they go back to the hotel where they live first, and make an appointment after the person in charge of Dongbao Company comes back.

Telling Ye Jingcheng to go back to the hotel now is better than telling him to go home.He thought that Dongbao would be ugly, but he didn't expect Dongbao to be such a big name.There is actually no difference between the film circle in the island country and Hong Kong Island. If there is a real difference, the society here has invaded the film circle.

What's the point now?There is not only one Toho film company in the island country, nor is there only one theater chain.Even though the other companies are not as large as Dongbao, they are still enough to distribute Ye Jingcheng's films overseas.

What Ye Jingcheng lacks is a contact person, because the Nanguo Cinemas has been established for too long. Although it is well-known in Hong Kong Island, in this age when information is not yet developed, it will take a long time to spread the news overseas. The time, especially under the premise that the Nanguo Cinemas has no well-known masterpieces.

If there is really no way to reach a cooperation with Dongbao, the next thing Ye Jingcheng has to do is to go to other companies. What he has to do is to take the initiative to find these companies and convey his purpose and the information of Nanguo Cinemas to them.So he had planned a one-week itinerary for this trip, otherwise it was just a matter of discussing cooperation with Dongbao, and one day was enough to come back.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the time. It was an hour and 48 minutes since they entered the living room.The so-called person in charge of Dongbao has not yet appeared. Not only that, the waiter, apart from bringing a few cups of coffee at the beginning, is also gone now.

Ye Jingcheng had this patience, but Zeng Zhiwei at the side had already become anxious.It's not a problem if you ask him to wait, the problem is that no one here talks to him, he is not as educated as Ye Jingcheng, who can read English newspapers, and he is not like the two sisters Akina Nakamori who have a common topic, so they can only sit there in depression and be silly. Two hours of waiting had almost suffocated him into internal injuries.

"They are too disrespectful, asking us to wait here for so long. Whether they come or not, let's go." Even though Zeng Zhiwei knew that he had no right to make decisions, he couldn't help complaining.

"Wait 10 more minutes." Ye Jingcheng picked up the coffee and took a sip. It's one thing whether he has patience, but it's not enough for him to let the other party mess around.If Dongbao's leader doesn't show up for a long time, does he have to wait obediently for a long time?
Unless Ye Jingcheng's brain is rusty, with Dongbao's actions, it is not difficult to see that the other party is not trying to show off, but simply ignores him.Even if he waits for someone in the end, the conditions offered by the other party are definitely not acceptable to him.

When the 10 minutes were up, just as Ye Jingcheng and the others were about to enter the elevator, the person in charge of Dongbao rushed back unexpectedly.

The middle-aged man named Hideyuki Takai apologized and explained the reason for being late, so he invited Ye Jingcheng and others into the living room again.

"Ye Sang, this is some terms of our company's cooperation, please read it." After finishing speaking, Takai Hideyuki handed over a folder.

Ye Jingcheng took it and looked at it briefly, then asked Nakamori Akina to translate for him one by one.He wasn't afraid that Akina Nakamori would make a mistake in translating, or that he would act as a spring for the other party.

Because if he really wants to sign a contract agreement with the other party, this document must first be sent back to Hong Kong Island for confirmation before proceeding to the subsequent signing ceremony.

"For the films produced by your company, Toho Co., Ltd. will buy them out, and the price will be 100 million yuan for each film that passes the review." After reading this, Akina Nakamori's mouth slightly opened.This number was too shocking for her.

For her, not to mention 100 million, even 500 is a big amount, and the unit is still in yen.The currency of this contract is in Hong Kong dollars, and if it is converted into Japanese yen, it will be more than [-] million yuan.

Although in the previous conversation between the two, she knew that Ye Jingcheng's net worth was not low.But she has always questioned whether he owns a theater chain, and she is a native islander, and she doesn't know much about the environment on Hong Kong Island, so she doesn't realize Ye Jingcheng's position at all.

Looking at it now, Ye Jingcheng is definitely an important figure in Hong Kong Island.Otherwise, how could the amount of his business reach a height that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime.Should I reconsider the other party's problem?Instead of being perfunctory for the sake of perfunctory like before.

But Ye Jingcheng frowned unhappily when he heard this clause.And Zeng Zhiwei, who was on the side, burst into a sulk, pointing at Hideyuki Takai and yelling loudly: "Damn fat boy, are you making a mistake!? 100 million is less than a fraction of our local box office, and at such a price, you want to cooperate with our company ?”

"It seems that you came to us to discuss cooperation issues?" Hideyuki Takai choked Zeng Zhiwei back with a single sentence.

"Besides, investing in this kind of thing is risky. Can your company guarantee that each movie will exceed 1000 million?" After speaking, Takai Hideyuki slowly drank his coffee.

Ye Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I can guarantee it?"

Hideo Takai didn't expect Ye Jingcheng to take advantage of the wind, so he really couldn't answer this question.In the end, he could only say with Tang Sai: "This question is yet to be discussed. I hope I can inform you of a few directors of the company before I can answer you."

"I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking." After saying these words, Ye Jingcheng got up to leave.

"Ye Sang, Dongbao is No.1 in the island country. I don't know how many companies want to cooperate with us, but they can't do so. The difference between you and them is that the opportunity is already in front of your eyes."

Hideka Takai didn't stop him, but said these words with deep meaning.It seems that Ye Jingcheng is determined, or because of the sense of honor of the islanders who worship high and step down, he thinks that Ye Jingcheng has something to ask of others, so he naturally has to follow their method.

Ye Jingcheng glanced sideways at him, showed a sneer, and left here straight away.

After everyone left, Hideyuki Takai landed his fist vertically on the table and cursed: "It's really a Chinese pig who doesn't know what to do."

He never thought that in Ye Jingcheng's eyes, he was no better than a pig, at best he was just a pile of filth that polluted the environment.

"Ye Sheng, what should we do next?" Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help asking after leaving Toei's company.

Ye Jingcheng didn't even have a chance to talk nonsense with the other party. Does it prove that their trip was for nothing?So are you flying back now, or do you have other plans?

"Akina, are you familiar with the film company in the island country? I mean the one that owns an independent theater chain like Dongbao." Ye Jingcheng asked Nakamori Akina. Compared with other time-consuming investigations, it is better to ask the local people around you.

Nakamori Akina originally thought that Ye Jingcheng would happily accept Dongbao's offer, but he didn't expect that he would end up unhappy in the end.So she didn't take the initiative to speak all the way, so as not to offend this employer with a deep background.

"I know, I know." Nakamori Akiho took the topic from her sister and said, "My favorite Sayuri Yoshinaga is at Nikkatsu Co., Ltd."

"Except for this one?" Ye Jingcheng didn't even have the slightest impression of this club.

Akiho Nakamori stuck out his tongue and replied, "I don't know."

Akina Nakamori answered: "It seems that in addition to Toho and Nikkatsu, there are also Toei, Kadokawa, and Shochiku. Toei's office is on the side of Ginza, not very far from here. As for other film companies, I can help You ask a friend."

"Then ask me." Looking at the time, it was almost twelve noon, Ye Jingcheng said: "Now find a place to eat, and you can go back to rest after eating, and come to the hotel to find me in the afternoon."

The place to eat is at the Nikko City Hotel. Apart from Ye Jingcheng staying in this hotel, it is also relatively close to the two sisters' homes.

Ye Jingcheng simply ordered a steak and borscht, and then handed back the menu in his hand to Adapt.Then Zeng Zhiwei also ordered spaghetti bolognese and orange juice. Only the two sisters, Akina Nakamori, looked at the menu and whispered to each other.

After a long time, they put the menu back in a friendly manner.Akina Nakamori stretched out a finger to the waiter and said something in Japanese, after which Akiho Nakamori did the same thing, the waiter nodded to express his understanding and left.
