The cooperation with Kadokawa Shoten was just an unexpected episode, and Kang Jianfei himself had never thought of it.
Why did Shueisha and Shogakukan, the largest manga publishers in Japan, not cooperate, but chose Kadokawa Shoten instead?
The reason is very simple. Kadokawa Shoten is a large group that integrates books and movies. It will soon enter the field of comics. It can cooperate with Kang Jianfei's Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group in every aspect.
"Brother Fei, the time of the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has been temporarily changed. It will be postponed for three days and will be held on June 15th." Li Yufeng was wearing an OL skirt, holding a folder and standing at the door of the editing room, and said to Kang Jianfei, who had just finished editing.
said.
Li Yufeng originally planned to go to college and do administrative work at DreamWorks after graduation, but in the end she changed her mind and went to DreamWorks for a few months as an intern, eventually becoming Kang Jianfei's personal secretary.
As for the original secretary Chen Shuli, she has now been transferred to be the administrative secretary of DreamWorks, barely becoming a powerful figure in the company.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "I understand, please help me change the ticket time."
Li Yufeng smiled and said: "The contract has been changed."
Kang Jianfei checked the time, stretched and said, "I'm going to the He family for a banquet today. You can go back by yourself later."
"Okay." Li Yufeng responded, but she was thinking that Kang Jianfei could take her to a banquet with a wealthy family.
The two of them walked into the office one after another. When Li Yufeng closed the door, Kang Jianfei's hand was already on her "qiaotun", and the two hugged each other and kissed each other.
After the intimacy, Kang Jianfei tidied up his clothes and said, "Don't call me Brother Fei when you are in the company. After all, you are now my personal secretary."
Li Yufeng was beaten by Kang Jianfei. She asked rather depressedly: "Then what should I call you in the company from now on?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Whatever, as long as you don't get too affectionate."
"Then I'll call you boss." Li Yufeng pouted and said coquettishly.
"Good boy, don't be upset." Kang Jianfei patted Li Yufeng's shoulder and coaxed. He actually didn't want the woman next to him to be his personal secretary, but he couldn't stand Li Yufeng's coquettish pleading, so he finally agreed.
When I went downstairs, the car was already ready, and two bodyguards were standing in front of the car on standby. When they saw Kang Jianfei coming over, they immediately opened the door.
The Ho family's family banquet is at No. 1 Repulse Bay Road. The gambling king has several luxury houses in Hong Kong. However, the one in Repulse Bay is the quietest and most luxurious. The value of No. 1 Villa in Repulse Bay is at least three times that of Kang Jianfei's No. 4 Villa.
After Kang Jianfei revealed his identity, the door of the villa slowly opened. As soon as the car drove in, an old man in his fifties came over and saluted: "Mr. Kang, please follow me!"
"Thank you." Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "What's your name, please?"
The little old man said: "If your surname is Hu, please come to Mr. Kang."
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Hub."
Following Huber into the living room, Kang Jianfei saw He Hongsen sitting on the sofa chatting with He Chaoxiong, a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting next to him reading a magazine, and a beautiful young woman sitting next to the gambling king peeling an apple for him.
After seeing Kang Jianfei come in, He Hongsen actually showed no airs. He stood up and shook Kang Jianfei's hand very kindly, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Kang is here. Please take a seat!"
When Kang Jianfei saw this posture, it was completely like an elder meeting a junior. He looked suspiciously at He Chaoxiong, who was not very familiar with him, and saw the latter smiling at him and shrugging.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Kang Jianfei found out that the beautiful middle-aged woman was He Chaoqiong's biological mother. She was Lan Qiongying, the second concubine of the gambling king, and the beautiful young woman was Chen Wanzhen, the third concubine of the gambling king who was about to officially marry.
The main purpose of the gambling king's visit to Hong Kong this time was actually to choose a luxury house for his third concubine, which was a sign of his acceptance into the house. As for his second concubine Lan Qiongying, he also came here because he heard that his daughter He Chaoqiong had broken up with Chen Baiqiang.
, I have a new reliable boyfriend, so I came to see my future son-in-law.
When Uncle Huber reminded him about dinner, the third aunt carefully helped He Hongsen to sit down at the dining table, while the second aunt didn't look jealous at all and talked to Kang Jianfei from time to time.
It seems that the gambling king is well versed in the art of caring for his wife. The two aunts and wives get along so harmoniously, they are simply role models for our generation.
"Xiaokang, I heard that you not only make movies, but also do real estate?" Lan Qiongying, the second concubine, showed great concern for Kang Jianfei. She ignored her husband and the third wife at all and kept asking about Kang Jianfei's situation.
Kang Jianfei couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't bear the second concubine's enthusiasm, so he had to deal with it and replied: "I don't know much about real estate, so I bought some blindly and asked a real estate agent to help me manage it."
Lan Qiongying nodded in approval and said: "The Hong Kong property market collapsed so badly at that time. You didn't know anything about real estate but you knew how to buy land at a low price. It seems that if you are well-off, you are born to do business."
"Haha, Aunt Lan, you are so flattering, I will just buy some." Kang Jianfei smiled perfunctorily.
Lan Qiongying suddenly turned around and asked the Filipino maid: "Why hasn't Miss come down yet?"
The Filipino maid replied: "I knocked on the door, but the lady didn't open the door."
He Chaoxiong suddenly said: "Arqiong is heartbroken and has been losing his temper these past few days."
Lan Qiongying complained: "Arqiong is also ignorant. What's so good about singing? Stars have a lot of ups and downs. It will be very troublesome to get involved in those scandals in the future."
Kang Jianfei scratched his forehead. There were so many scandals about him that readers were no longer surprised to know which actress he was dating.
Lan Qiongying went upstairs in person before finally calling her daughter down for dinner.
He Chaoqiong saw Kang Jianfei before he sat down at the table. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Sit down," He Hongsen, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Xiao Kang is my guest. How can you talk to the guest like this?"
He Chaoqiong immediately lost his temper and was pushed to sit next to Kang Jianfei by his biological mother Lan Qiongying.
Delicious dishes were served one after another. Kang Jianfei was dealing with the conversation between He Hongsen and his wife, but focused more on tasting the delicious food. He had already seen it. It seemed that Lan Qiongying was interested in bringing him and He Chaoqiong together, but how could Kang Jianfei be a star?
Big trees giving up the entire forest?
He Hongsen found it quite interesting. He didn't interfere much with his daughter's boyfriend. But he hoped that his son-in-law would be a good match.
The breakup between He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang was largely due to He Chaoxiong secretly creating conflicts. He Hongsen neither opposed nor supported this, but was happy to get Chen Baiqiang to get out.
He Hongsen is still very interested in Kang Jianfei, a young man, because he has a good personal relationship with Shao Yifu. During the 10th anniversary of Miss Hong Kong, He Hongsen personally served as a judge for the finals. His children, He Chaoxiong and He Chaoqiong, were even sent to TVB for internships.
Kang Jianfei founded DreamWorks with nothing, and acquired TV stations to compete with TVB. All of this left a deep impression on He Hongsen.
As for Kang Jianfei's scandals, He Hongsen is too lazy to take care of them. Where can he find a non-cheating cat now? As long as he doesn't go too far after getting married, He Hongsen will not interfere even if his son-in-law secretly has an extramarital affair.
"Xiao Kang, your Miss Oriental beauty pageant is doing well. Recently, the publicity is even greater than that of Miss Hong Kong." He Hongsen and Kang Jianfei talked about business matters. It is normal communication between elders and juniors to talk about work during family dinners.
Kang Jianfei chuckled and said: "It's okay, Shao Daheng just let me."
He Hongsen laughed and said: "He didn't let you. Last time we had tea, he even scolded you for being unruly."
"Not many people can be scolded by Shao Daheng. I am extremely honored." Kang Jianfei had never thought about marrying He Chaoqiong, so he spoke without any scruples. "Uncle He, since you are interested in Miss Dongfang, why not do this?"
Become a beauty pageant judge."
He Hongsen has been a judge for the Miss Hong Kong finals twice and is very familiar with this job. He smiled and said: "Okay, I will join in the fun when the time comes."
Kang Jianfei was stunned. He didn't expect He Hongsen to agree so simply. He asked: "Uncle He, aren't you afraid that Shao Daheng will be unhappy?"
He Hongsen smiled and said: "He is not that stingy."
In addition to being stingy when running his business, Shao Yifu is really not stingy in other areas, and his generosity can be regarded as a model. Moreover, the stinginess of Shaw Brothers Films also started from Fang Yihua. When Zou Wenhuai managed Shaw Brothers, he did not even have a detailed budget.
Everything is based on making a good movie.
"Then I would like to thank Uncle He for coming." Kang Jianfei said happily. He Hongsen can be the judge of this Miss Oriental final, which can greatly increase the weight of the event.
He Hongsen asked: "Xiao Kang, how can you increase profits by running a TV station?"
Kang Jianfei answered ambiguously: "Increase ratings, increase advertising revenue, and reduce costs. Generally speaking, these are the three points."
"The ratings of Macau TV stations are too low. Is there anything you can do?" He Hongsen asked.
Kang Jianfei didn't know Macau TV at all, so he asked: "What's going on with this TV station?"
He Hongsen said: "For this TV station that was only established last year, the cost expenditure in the first two quarters of this year has been close to 20 million Australian dollars, and the advertising revenue is less than 2 million Australian dollars."
The Macau Pataca is almost the same as the Hong Kong dollar. According to the Macau TV station’s loss-making method, I’m afraid it will have to close down in a few years.
Kang Jianfei asked: "The ratings are very low?"
He Hongsen nodded: "Macau has always watched Hong Kong TV programs. Macau TV was only launched last year, and the programs are not as good as Hong Kong TV."
"Uncle He has shares in Macau TV Station?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Macau TV is run by the Portuguese and Macao government and does not accept private investment." He Hongsen explained, but did not deny that he had a stake in it.
Macau is different from Hong Kong. Portugal's ruling power there is very weak. Even when the Macau pataca was issued, the King of Macau had to send people to Hong Kong to smuggle Hong Kong dollar banknote printing paper. Whenever the Portuguese and Macau governments were unable to handle something,
I also asked He Xian to help solve the problem.
The King of Macau, Ho Xian, passed away the year before last. Now the most powerful person in Macau belongs to Ho. It can be said that the Portuguese and Macau governments have to act based on the face of King Ho. How can it be possible to open a TV station without Ho's shares?
Kang Jianfei asked again: "What programs are broadcast on Macau TV stations?"
He Hongsen said: "Portuguese news and Cantonese news, sports programs, English TV series, and Cantonese TV series were added some time ago."
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "The Cantonese TV series is probably an old TVB movie I bought."
He Hongsen nodded: "Yes, TVB won't sell the new movie at all."
"Then it definitely has no ratings. Only a few people watch the English TV series, and the Cantonese movies are old movies that the audience has watched." Kang Jianfei said.
He Hongsen asked: "How do you think this problem should be solved?"
Kang Jianfei said: "The biggest competitors of Macau TV stations now are Hong Kong's Wireless Station and Phoenix TV Station. It is impossible to beat these two TV stations in the short term. The only way is to grab some ratings. It is best to buy Taiwan's TV stations.
TV series can be dubbed into Cantonese, or new movies can be purchased from DreamWorks."
Ho Hongsen asked: "DreamWorks' new film will be sold as a takeaway? That's competing with your own Phoenix TV station to steal viewers."
Kang Jianfei said nonchalantly: "Phoenix Channel's ratings in Macau are not high. Many viewers there watch TVB."
"You are doing harm to others." He Hongsen laughed.
Kang Jianfei shrugged: "DreamWorks' films can generate more business, so how can it be called self-serving?"
During the meal, He Hongsen and Kang Jianfei were basically talking, with Lan Qiongying and He Chaoxiong interjecting occasionally. He Chaoqiong took two mouthfuls of rice and then said he was full. He wanted to leave the table and go back to the bedroom, but was stopped by a look from He Hongsen.
After chatting for a long time, He Hongsen suddenly asked: "Xiao Kang. Are you interested in investing in Macau TV Station?"
Kang Jianfei asked: "Didn't Uncle He say that Macau TV station does not allow private equity investment?"
He Hongsen sighed: "The rules can be changed. I don't know anything about running a TV station. The bureaucrats in the Portuguese and Macao government just want to make a living. This TV station must find a knowledgeable shareholder, otherwise it will not survive for a few years and will have to stop."
broadcast."
Kang Jianfei was really undecided about investing in a Macau TV station, because Macau is too small, and its already small audience has been taken away by Hong Kong TV stations. This is destined to be a losing business.
In another time and space, it took more than three years for Macau Television to allow private equity participation. Advertising revenue quadrupled that year, but it continued to operate at a loss and relied on government subsidies to maintain itself.
Although Kang Jianfei did not know these specific circumstances, he saw that it was difficult for Macau TV stations to make profits. He smiled and asked: "Uncle He is friends with Shao Daheng, why don't you invite him to become a shareholder?"
He Hongsen shook his head in a funny way. He asked Shao Yifu to invest in the company last year, but Shao Yifu refused to do so even though he was given shares for free. It is no joke to lose tens of millions a year on this thing.
Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered that in another time and space, the Chinese channel of Satellite TV was once popular in half of Asia. He asked: "Uncle He, I am still very interested in investing in Macau TV station, but will the Portuguese and Macau government allow me to change those programs?
?”
He Hongsen said: "The daily Portuguese news cannot be changed, and other programs are free to you."
Kang Jianfei asked again: "Can Macau TV station be turned into a satellite TV station?"
He Hongsen asked: "Why do you want to change it into a satellite station?"
Kang Jianfei said: "The audience base in Macau is too small, so the Macau TV station must radiate its viewing territory. Especially in Taiwan, it is impossible for Taiwanese viewers to receive programs sent by ordinary wireless TV signal towers, and satellite TV signals are required.
OK."
He Hongsen wondered: "But Taiwan has a reporting ban, and it is illegal to watch and listen to overseas TV broadcasts."
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this that we can attract more viewers in Taiwan. Think about it, Taiwanese viewers who can only watch the third channel all day long, if they suddenly find that they can watch a variety of new and interesting overseas programs, they will
How excited will it be? If nothing else, advertisers in Taiwan will definitely be happy to pay for advertising."
"That's a good idea." He Hongsen nodded approvingly. The reason why he mentioned the plight of Macau TV station to Kang Jianfei was firstly to improve the TV station's operating conditions, and secondly to test Kang Jianfei's ability. Now Kang Jianfei's performance makes him very satisfied.
The matter was settled like this. As for the amount of Kang Jianfei's investment and shareholding, He Hongsen still had to go back to discuss with the Portuguese and Macao governments.
After dinner, He Hongsen listened to Kang Jianfei's views on TV station reform, and Kang Jianfei didn't leave until around ten o'clock in the evening.
He Chaoqiong was ordered to stay in the living room to accompany the guests. She was flipping through fashion magazines boredly. Her biological mother, Lan Qiongying, took her hand and said: "Arqiong, Xiaokang is leaving. You go and see him off."
He Chaoqiong glared at Kang Jianfei and said angrily: "Let's go."
Kang Jianfei didn't care and walked out side by side with He Chaoqiong.
After the two left, Lan Qiongying nodded and said with a smile: "This well-off man is not bad. He is good-looking and talented. He also has a good way of doing business. He is better than that singer."
He Hongsen turned to ask He Chaoxiong: "Didn't you say that Ah Qiong is dating Xiaokang? Why do they seem to have a grudge? They didn't even talk a word during the meal."
He Chaoxiong spread his hands and said, "How do I know? Maybe they were quarreling."
Lan Qiongying smiled and said: "It's normal for young people to make noises, so don't worry about it."
Ho Hongsen nodded and said: "This well-off person can be regarded as an outstanding person. He can start from scratch at a young age. Ah Xiong, as an elder brother, you need to help more to bring things together. You can't let Ah Qiong's temper make trouble."
"I will." He Chaoxiong immediately agreed.
A group of people here are coming up with ideas, but the two parties involved don't really appreciate it.
In the garden of the villa, He Chaoqiong asked impatiently: "Kang Jianfei, are you done yet? Why did you coax my parents to come? I tell you, I have no feelings for you at all. Don't bother me anymore."
Kang Jianfei said lazily: "How did I know they would invite me to dinner? I thought you were obsessed with me. I was shocked."
"Scared you? I am so annoying!" He Chaoqiong said angrily. Kang Jianfei would annoy her when he came to the house, and now she is angry because Kang Jianfei hates her. Her thinking is really contradictory.
"Okay, I said the wrong thing," Kang Jianfei didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and apologized directly, saying, "I really don't know why your parents set us up. Since you are annoying me so much, the worst thing we can do is not meet each other again."
"Then we agreed, don't show up in front of me anymore." He Chaoqiong said angrily.
Kang Jianfei naturally had no objection to this, so he got in the car and left Villa No. 1 without even looking back.
When He Chaoqiong returned to his bedroom, he was stopped by He Chaoxiong: "Arqiong, my father asked you to go to Phoenix TV for half a year as an intern, and then return to Macau TV to work." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian ()
