The reason why Zunlong had a strong curiosity about Ning Weimin.
It just proves a truth - talented people will always shine no matter where they are.
But on the other hand, Ning Weimin was very happy to meet Zunlong here today in the kitchen of the Song family, and felt that he was quite lucky.
If nothing else, Ning Weimin already has plans to make a "Crazy Rich Asians" movie for Teresa Teng.
In fact, ever since he came up with the idea in Japan, he felt that the male lead of this movie would be most suitable to be played by Zun Lung.
Not only the image, language, age, acting skills, and background are all suitable.
He thought about all the Chinese male stars, and it was true that only Zun Long could bring the most perfect lover image to those women who love to dream.
The key is that it is most appropriate to consider it from the perspective of commercial value.
It can be said that in the eyes of Ning Weimin, who can see the future, Zunlong today is just like a big bull stock that is ready to go.
Ning Weimin actually knows very well that as soon as "The Last Emperor" is released.
John Lone will become the second Chinese movie star after Bruce Lee to gain a large number of fans in Western society and gain acceptance and recognition from mainstream Western culture.
Although in the end Zunlong failed to even receive an Oscar nomination, this was simply due to racial prejudice.
In any case, Ning Weimin only knows that with the success of "The Last Emperor".
Not only has John Lone's personal fame skyrocketed, and he has risen to the forefront of mainstream Hollywood, he has also become the first Asian actor to endorse Rolex watches.
It can be said to be world-famous, with both fame and fortune,
By then it would be no exaggeration to say that he is the number one Chinese male star.
If compared with him, the weight of Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan would not be enough.
Even Fei Xiang is too young, and his influence is limited to the mainland.
So there is no doubt that while Zun Long is not too hot now, if he can sign his performance contract in time, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Not to mention that the price is definitely much better than it would be six months later.
Moreover, if "Crazy Rich Asians" can be successfully filmed, it will most likely be released in time for next year's "The Last Emperor" to win nine Oscars, and steadily ride on the popularity of "The Dragon".
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to waiting for the wind to come out and preparing to take off.
If that were the case, the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" would never lose money no matter how big the investment was.
On the contrary, it will solidify Matsumoto Keiko's career foundation and make her studio famous in one fell swoop.
How good is this!
So this is called what you think comes to you.
Originally, Ning Weimin felt regretful that he was in too hasty the last time he returned to Tokyo and that he could not see Zunlong.
Now that I have caught up a little bit, I unexpectedly saw Zun Long appearing at Song Huagui's home. I learned from him that the filming of "The Last Emperor" has not been completed yet, and it will take at least two more months to complete the filming.
It's like God opened his eyes and sent money to him on purpose!
Naturally, he will do his best to seize the opportunity and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
How can it not be beautiful in my heart?
If it weren't for Zou Guodong's presence in front of him, he would probably be humming the tune "I'm smiling proudly" even while kneading and kneading the dough.
"Hey, Lao Zou, if I knead the noodles a little softer, your stuffing needs to be lighter. Don't put too much salt. People are light-mouthed, so they might not be used to it."
"Hey, you are not in a bad mood. You actually work so hard. It seems that having a girlfriend is different. Hey, but to be honest, you seem to be a little afraid of your wife. You are not married yet.
Well, I always keep in mind that Keiko is Japanese. You know that she is soft-spoken, and you don’t care how much salt she puts in. Then if you are married, why don’t you keep your wife on your head every day?”
Unexpectedly, even though Ning Weimin tried his best to restrain himself, Zou Guodong could see his happiness.
But it seems that Zou Guodong really misunderstood and thought that this was all the result of Keiko Matsumoto.
In fact, Ning Weimin was more because Miss Jiang Si and Shen Cun also came back from the United States. Based on their food preferences, he thought that Zunlong might be the same. This was to prepare for the next step of winning over people's hearts.
.
Of course, then again, for whom is Ning Weimin fighting for Zun Long to be the leading actor?
After all, isn’t she still a model loving wife?
So he didn't care about it. Instead, he played with Qingpi indifferently. He borrowed the help of Poxia Donkey and said, "You can say whatever you like, say whatever you like. Anyway, I don't care. If you are afraid of your wife, you will be afraid of your wife. What can you do?"
Earth? As if you are not afraid?"
These words are stinging, why did Zou Guodong throw it over, and why did he throw it back?
Zou Guodong was so angry that his face darkened and he coughed uncontrollably.
It seems that the next step is probably to throw the chopsticks in my hand over.
Ning Weimin was not stupid, so he quickly changed the subject and gave in.
"Hey, Lao Zou, stop teasing me, long live our friendship. We are all men, why are you in such a hurry?"
Then I took the opportunity to inquire about the news that concerned me the most.
"Hey, there's something strange to me. Isn't this dragon an American celebrity? Why does he seem to get along well with Mr. Song? I think they are almost a family. Isn't there some cultural gap?
?”
"Ah, you are talking about this..."
Zou Guodong had nothing to hide from Ning Weimin, so he told the truth.
"This dragon is not a very utilitarian person, but he is very serious about acting. When filming, he always seems to have his own opinions on many things, and often uses historical evidence to argue with the director. This makes the Italian director very
Dissatisfied. Mr. Song, you don’t know yet? She is best at resolving disputes. Fortunately, with her on the scene, differences can always be resolved quickly. Maybe it’s because she often comes forward to make peace with the director and Zun Long. With the filming of the movie, whether
The director, Zun Long, became more and more attached to her. Especially I heard that Zun Long seemed to be an orphan without parents. Maybe it was because our Mr. Song was fifteen years older than him and could care about him like a big sister.
Later, this guy really recognized Mr. Song as his sister."
Ning Weimin actually knew that Zunlong was also an orphan. After all, he had experienced the information age.
Editors who write headlines, in order to win other people's attention, would like to reveal three generations of celebrities' ancestors.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he had an unspeakable fondness for Zun Long.
Of course, it is also easier for him to understand where Zunlong's trust and kindness towards Song Huagui come from.
However, it was a bit of unexpected bad news to hear that Zun Long actually liked to be serious with the director, and Ning Weimin couldn't help but frown.
You know, although it is a good thing for an actor to be dedicated, it is not a good thing to always have his own ideas and interfere with the director's ideas.
This means that it will affect the shooting progress, and even damage the director's authority to some extent, making the entire film shooting potentially out of control.
Ning Weimin certainly doesn't like that his investments are full of variables and out of control.
And his worried expression was caught by Zou Guodong at the right time, and it actually became the reason for him to be ridiculed by Zou Guodong.
"Haha, you kid, are you jealous? I'm also telling you that this guy has been going to Maxim's to eat often since the beginning of this year. When the Spring Festival comes, he wants to spend the New Year at Mr. Song's house. It's better than me
They are all like relatives of Mr. Song. As long as he is around from now on, you will no longer have a place in front of our big boss. You are about to fall out of favor, aren't you sad?"
However, this kind of words that Zou Guodong thought would hurt his heart not only had no effect at all, but actually made Ning Weimin laugh.
Because from all this distance, he could smell the sour smell of vinegar.
It is true that someone has felt a sense of crisis that his position has declined, but obviously it cannot be him.
"What do I have to be sad about? The closer Mr. Song is to Zun Long, the better it is for me. Weren't you there just now? Didn't you see me trying to trick people? I also want to bring this big star down to Qingzi
Which studio will make a movie for us? Zhengchou has nowhere to start. If I ask Mr. Song to put in a few kind words for me, it will be of some use, right?"
However, after hearing what Ning Weimin said, Zou Guodong had a strong opinion.
"Ah! Making a movie? I thought you were just being polite. I didn't expect you to come here for real? Darling, you are so restless! Hey, I'm not telling you, why do I feel that you are doing so much more now?
It's getting more and more deviated from the main business. Don't forget, why did you go to Tokyo? Mainly to run a restaurant, sell trolley suitcases, and open up the market overseas. Secondly, it is also to let you and Japan Pierre Cardin
Co., Ltd. to seek more cooperation possibilities between China and Japan under the same brand. But luckily for you, you actually went to make a movie. That's just the movie "Li Xianglan". You are young and fun, and you are talking to a Japanese star.
If you are in love, I can understand it occasionally. But why do you want to take this as your main job? This is not okay! People's energy is limited. If you are just having fun, what should you do with the serious things? Can you not delay it? "
"Ouch, this is all wrong. Mr. Zou, Mr. Zou, you are too worried. First of all, it is also beneficial to our company for me to help Qingzi organize movies. Because in my understanding, movies, music,
It’s just a disguised advertisement. Managing these entertainment products can not only make money, but also serve our company’s commercial brand. Why not? Especially since our company itself represents fashion and needs to lead fashion, this
This kind of need is even more indispensable. Secondly, I really didn’t delay the business. Didn’t I sell the trolley suitcases well? Now the domestic supply can’t keep up with what I sell. There is also Tannomiya Restaurant Tokyo
Didn’t I do a good job running the branch? Let me tell you the good news in advance. Don’t look at it. In less than a year, all the costs have been recovered, and I have doubled the original investment of 2 million yuan tenfold..."
"Ten times! You're not talking nonsense, are you?"
Ning Weimin's words made Zou Guodong startled.
"No. It's only 20 million! I don't care."
Ning Weimin said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Of course, I'm talking about RMB, and it's gross profit..."
"Twenty million!" Zou Guodong gasped. Such a profit margin exceeded many illegal industries.
"Isn't this enough? What else are you thinking about? Don't tell me that 20 million yuan is not a lot of money to you."
"How about comparing it with something? As I said, the trolley suitcases are also selling well. 60,000 units were sold last year. According to the consumption situation in Japan, the main products sold are high-end products from Pierre Cardin and Goldlion.
Suitcases. Pierre Cardin accounts for 40%. If the gross profit of each suitcase is calculated at 60,000 yen, it is 1.4 billion yen, almost 10 million US dollars, 80 million yuan. So if these two businesses are to
In comparison, the restaurant's profits pale in comparison."
At this time, Zhou Guodong looked at Ning Weimin with a very sour expression.
He said with admiration and dissatisfaction, "Let's see what you can do. Just tell me how much Pierre Cardin China Corporation can get from these two businesses, right?"
Ning Weimin thought for a while and said calmly, "Don't expect too much from the restaurant. I'm also considering whether to open a branch next year, so I can only share half of the profits with everyone. There is a tax in Japan."
And it’s relatively heavy. Even if we have an agreement with our Republic not to collect taxes repeatedly, it is estimated that if we get it domestically, the gross profit of 10 million yuan will only be 8 million yuan. On March 13, our company can get 200 yuan.
A net profit of 700,000 yuan. The situation of the trolley case is much better. Since there is no other company but this one, I set a higher price for the purchase price here in China. My own Da Dao Trading Company gave up the profit, and the profit was almost all
It was retained in the account of the domestic Yi La De company. In this way, we paid less tax to Japan. The company's 80 million yuan was probably paid in domestic tax, and there should be 70 million. A small half of the funds were left for follow-up business.
In terms of development and production costs, Yi La De can contribute about 40 million in after-tax profits to the company. Goldlion sells less goods than Pierre Cardin, but it should be about the same. Note that I said all
It’s RMB. And that’s not counting the commission I get from being an intermediary in Japan, and the corporate tax I have to pay. You can’t let me suffer, you have to make up for it no matter what.”
Ning Weimin only briefly talked about the division of financial interests.
Although some issues involving taxation were not explained very clearly.
But even so, it was enough to move Zou Guodong.
"You're so capable, aren't you? You actually have so many! In other words, you alone earned 40 million in profits for the company in Japan. Oh my god, this is almost as fast as our busy work and a group of people.
The total profit for the year! Wait... In other words, the total turnover of your Yi Lao last year was hundreds of millions, and the profit was over 100 million? Then you can also share tens of millions for yourself!"
When these words came out, Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
Even though Yi La De is just an OEM leather bag company, its headquarters in Beijing only has a few employees.
There wasn't much serious work to do when he went to work every day. Even the accounts and accounts were managed by Ning Weimin himself.
It is really incredible that a small company like this can achieve as much performance in one year as Pierre Cardin China Corporation.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising at all.
Even if you put aside the issue of the two patents, don't forget that although there are many pilkarton stores in China and they are located in four first-tier cities, there are only 20 in total.
The foundation is thin.
Coupled with the low domestic consumption level, how much turnover is there every day?
But Ning Weimin's delivery in Japan is different. He relies on Yamato Kanko's ready-made sales department to do takeout, and he doesn't even have to worry about logistics.
Yamato Kanko has 46 stores across Japan.
Coupled with the high consumption level of the Japanese, it is not surprising that Ning Weimin's personal business development has caught up with that of the Huaxia Corporation.
But having said that, these accounts were calculated after Zou Guodong’s inquiry. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hide his identity as the richest man in the country for long even if he wanted to. ()
