On January 19, after bidding farewell to Akina Nakamori, Zheng Yaoyang returned to Hong Kong on a special plane.
This year’s Spring Festival is on the 28th. In the afternoon, he came to the Hung Hom Stadium to observe the rehearsal of the annual meeting.
Different from last year, this year Zhou Xiaolin is the protagonist, Zheng Yaoyang is her co-star, and the workload is much less.
There is a lot of work at the end of the year. Zhou Xiaolin was at the meeting, and before it was her turn, she was still immersed in dealing with the company's affairs.
Zheng Yaoyang walked over and sat next to her: "The year is coming to an end. It's time to relax."
"You put it lightly."
Zhou Xiaolin didn't even raise her head, lost in thought.
During the lifting of the ban in mid-October last year, 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash were cashed out at one time, but the stamina was still too great.
Even though they have Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan, the twin kings, one is domestic and the other is foreign, the current market value of One World is still hovering around 40 billion.
She plans to make some big moves at the beginning of the year to stop the group's stock price from falling.
The stock price can rise and fall normally, but it cannot rise and fall... In the long run, it is easy to lose popularity and lose market activity.
"Hey, did you listen to me?"
Zhou Xiaolin hoped that Zheng Yaoyang could give some advice. When she looked up, she saw that his face was full of appreciation, watching the song and dance rehearsal.
The female members of the second phase last year officially graduated. They were performing hot songs and dances on the stage. Although they were wearing training uniforms, they still couldn't resist their youthful and beautiful figures.
Especially the Big Boss and the Second Boss were both in the audience. They danced harder than usual and were trembling~
Zheng Yaoyang was stared at so hard that he looked away calmly. He coughed a few times and said, "It's actually very easy to make trouble. Haven't I already arranged it?"
Among the members of the new girl group last year, he saw relatively familiar figures, namely Chen Farong, Zhu Yin and Cai Shaofen.
The members of the boy band lining up for rehearsal also saw a few familiar figures, such as Ku Juji and Sun Yaowei.
It can be said that all the new generation of male and female artists in Hong Kong have joined the Huanyu Group, which is enough to prove that the original male and female group strategy was a great success.
Zhou Xiaolin said in a bad tone: "Then tell me, when will the arrangements be made?"
Seeing Zheng Yaoyang's sultry look, she felt angry. She was not satisfied with having flowers and grass everywhere. It seemed that a man could only be honest if he hung on the wall.
"When I came back from the north last year, didn't I bring a project?" Zheng Yaoyang replied.
Zhou Xiaolin frowned and asked in confusion: "What kind of bodyguard is that? Is this also called a project?"
The total investment is 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is a co-production between the two places, with China Film Group accounting for 60% and they accounting for 40%.
Since the establishment of Huanyu, their proportion of investment in movies has never been so low, and they are not leading the project.
She felt that Zheng Yaoyang was just selling out to China Film Group to gain face, so she didn't pay much attention to it and directly approved the funds and gave them to Yuan Kui of Dragon Tiger Martial Arts to shoot.
"Xiaolin, you're in trouble, doesn't 8 million count as money?"
Zheng Yaoyang scolded him seriously. Seeing that Zhou Xiaolin was about to get angry, he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Eight million is really not a lot of money, but the first real co-production of a movie between the two places is of great significance."
"We can completely exaggerate that it is the first step to seize the mainland film market. In a market with a population of one billion, even if a movie ticket sells for one yuan, it will have a box office of one billion. Isn't this big enough?"
"And starting from next year, we can change our plans and shoot more mainstream movies in the mainland market to see if they can be released in mainland theaters in advance."
Zhou Xiaolin frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you say it's not the time yet?"
Zheng Yaoyang said with a smile: "After all, plans cannot keep up with changes, and trying does not mean entering in a big way."
Although the trip to the north only lasted four days, the benefits it brought to Zheng Yaoyang were extremely huge.
Not only did I get to know more than a dozen old brothers, but I also got endorsements from Director Ai of Radio and Television and other big shots.
They can now slightly change their plans and try their hand at entering the mainland film market.
If you can't enter, just wait a few more years. If you can enter the mainland market, then invade it in a big way.
Zhou Xiaolin nodded and felt a lot more relaxed. Zheng Yaoyang asked again: "By the way, how is the acquisition of special effects companies in Hollywood going?"
Zhou Xiaolin replied: "The acquisition was completed in June last year. In the past six months, I have been contracting for special effects shots for some low-cost movies."
Zheng Yaoyang exhorted: "Industrial film technology is the ticket to the new era. Don't ignore it in the future. You can invest some money to make a special effects blockbuster and try out the effect. You are not afraid of losing money."
The early 1990s was the last glory of Hong Kong films, and it was also the period when North American special effects blockbusters began to become popular.
If they had been holding on to the mentality of using small things to make big things and specialize in making comedies, police and gangster films, and martial arts films, they would still have followed the same old path.
Nowadays, shooting special effects blockbusters is all about accumulating experience. As long as you don’t lose too much money, you will make a lot of money.
Jackie Chan's character needs to be maintained, and Stephen Chow and Andy Lau can try out a fantasy comedy.
Zhou Xiaolin listened carefully to the opinions, and suddenly asked out of curiosity: "This is fine now, why do you have to take a back seat?"
Every time Zheng Yaoyang's important suggestions always make her eyes light up and reduce the loss of brain cells.
She didn't understand that Zheng Yaoyang had to take a back seat, and the outside world didn't know about their relationship. It seemed like he was taking off his pants and farting in vain.
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and said: "Of course it is so that the people under your command can convince you."
Zhou Xiaolin rolled her eyes and said without hesitation: "Come on, are you the same as submissive to me?"
When Zheng Yaoyang heard this, he suddenly came closer to her and said with a touched expression: "Xiaolin, you are finally willing to admit that we are indistinguishable from each other."
"Call Auntie, no matter how big or small you are."
Zhou Xiaolin looked panicked, suddenly looked towards the stage, stood up and left in a hurry: "It seems like it's my turn."
"Auntie, I sing to the sky, and the falling flowers are purposeful and the water is ruthless." Zheng Yaoyang looked at her hurried away back and couldn't help but sigh.
After staying for a while, he left the Hung Hom Stadium and went to the headquarters building of Xiangjiang Telecom.
The office building at the Science and Technology Port in Bel-Air has not been completed yet, so the civilian staff of the two companies are currently working in the Telecommunications Building.
Zheng Yaoyang came to the general manager's office and saw Lin Defu who was busy.
I learned from him that in the past 25 days, the sales volume of the regular version of PHS reached more than 85,000 units, and the sales volume of the special version reached more than 7,000 units.
The total sales of the two models were HK$1.125 billion, of which the net profit of the regular version was 42.15% and the net profit of the special version was 195%.
Although the profit of the ordinary version of PHS is low, it is still hard to find one, and demand exceeds supply every day. The profit of the special version is high, but it is basically not sold now.
Fortunately, only 10,000 spare parts are prepared for the special edition, and more than 2,000 units can be slowly assembled and sold slowly.
Zheng Yaoyang ordered: "There are not many left. Even if it is in bad hands, we cannot sell it at a lower price."
Lin Defu nodded, understanding this truth.
The rich will pluck their money as soon as they can, but they must know when enough is enough and not be greedy.
They have already made a lot of money from special editions, so they can't let rich people spend money and still be thought of as fools.
Those who can spend 90,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone are definitely people who are not short of money. Losing money is a small matter but embarrassing them is a big matter. Even if it is ruined in their hands, they cannot sell it at a lower price.
Lin Defu took out a document: "Mr. Zheng, we plan to hold a supplier conference on the fifth day of next year. Do you have time to come and observe?"
PHS has a huge market in Xiangjiang. After this period of word-of-mouth fermentation, the market continues to be booming.
The initial order of 100,000 spare parts was no longer able to satisfy people's desire for convenient communication.
There is a serious shortage of spare parts and production capacity, so they plan to work overtime for production during the New Year.
At the same time, a supplier meeting was held on the fifth day of the lunar month, and a purchase order for 500,000 spare parts was tentatively placed this time.
Now that the market is dominated by them, they should also lower the prices of spare parts in order to reduce manufacturing costs.
"I'll go over and have a look when I have time."
Zheng Yaoyang also asked about the progress of Aomen's trip to Pengcheng, a treasure island, in order to expand overseas markets.
