Karaoke originated in Japan and is one of Japan's three major inventions in the world (instant noodles, Walkman, and karaoke).
Due to Japanese customs, if a man comes home too early, his neighbors will look down on him and think that he works every day without even socializing. Going home too early every day becomes the subject of jokes by others, so many Japanese men gather after get off work. Chat in bars or teahouses until very late before going home.
Later, they gradually felt that they should find some new projects to kill time, so they sang in the bar using simple tools such as TVs and microphones while drinking. This was the prototype of karaoke.
The real inventor of karaoke is Daisuke Inoue of Hyogo Prefecture. When he was young, he was the drummer of a salon band and invented the backup vocal track and the portable microphone.
Within three years, karaoke became very popular, and large companies copied Inoue's ideas and launched their own models. By the time someone suggested that he apply for a patent, it was already too late.
Shi Zhijian recently contacted the Yokohama Jinlong Machinery Manufacturing Company in Japan and asked for a year's patent fee for the instant noodle machine. As soon as his mind changed, he was ready to develop a karaoke thing.
Shi Zhijian's thinking was very direct and rough.
If Daisuke Inoue has invented karaoke, then buy out his patent.
If he hasn't invented it yet, it's better to just buy him out!
In short, Shi Zhijian is going to rely on karaoke to make a fortune this time around the world!
Unlike the limitations of instant noodle machines, karaoke has a global audience!
Some people even said that the emergence of this invention directly changed the world!
Of course, Shi Zhijian should do such an important thing to change the world!
With one hand, he collects money and fleeces the world; with the other hand, he holds high the banner of changing the world——
Isn’t Shi Zhijian so awesome?!
…
Of course, the reason why Shi Zhijian wants to engage in karaoke is also related to his current business plan.
Nowadays, Shinhwa's three major industries, food, entertainment, and real estate, are slowly on track.
Under the leadership of Liu Jianxiong, Shinhwa Food began to expand its market outwards. With Shi Zhijian helping him lay a solid foundation, as long as there is no big storm, the future is promising.
In terms of real estate, one Meteor Garden is enough for Shinhwa Real Estate Company to survive for three years!
In almost three years, Hong Kong's real estate industry will usher in a full-scale explosion. By then, Shinhwa Real Estate will have a firm foothold and can rise up to compete with Hong Kong's four major real estate developers.
As for entertainment, Golden Harvest Films is currently the weakest among Shi Zhijian's three major industries.
Especially now that there are too few stars and Shaw Brothers is too strong, it is impossible to directly surpass them. We can only slowly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky.
In a sense, karaoke also belongs to the category of entertainment, and future MTV filming will be inextricably related to movies, movie stars, and pop stars.
When Shi Zhijian engages in karaoke, he is actually building his entertainment empire.
Finally, there is another reason.
The Shinhwa Charitable Fund controlled by Shi Zhijian currently still has about three million yuan. The money is itching in his hands and he has to make some investments!
What is the best investment?
Of course it’s karaoke!
…
Lei Luo drank a lot of wine in Retiro.
When I left Litchi, I couldn't even walk.
Shi Zhijian supported him, and Wen Zedun, the ghost man, waited beside him cautiously. It was not until these two "plague gods" were sent to the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Zeton stood at the door of Rechi with a cigar in his mouth, thinking a lot in his mind.
He recalled every word he said to Shi Zhijian and repeated every detail of the contract he signed with Shi Zhijian.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He always felt that he was being plotted by Shi Zhijian again.
The lobby manager saw Wen Zeton standing at the door, biting a cigar in a daze without lighting the cigar, so he flattered Wen Zeton and asked him to light his cigarette.
Wen Zeton woke up with a start and glared at him, which startled the lobby manager and almost dropped the lighter in his hand.
Wen Zeton breathed out and said disdainfully: "What's karaoke? I believe you are a ghost!"
…
Shi Zhijian helped Lei Luo to the parking lot and was about to wave to Chen Huimin to drive the car over so that he could take Brother Luo home.
Lei Luo, who was staggering at first, suddenly laughed, "Okay, I won't pretend anymore! I'm not that drunk!"
Shi Zhijian was startled for a moment, and even Su Youwei next to him looked at Lei Luo with wide eyes.
Lei Luo's drunken acting skills are really top-notch.
Lei Luo was very satisfied with Shi Zhijian's shocked expression.
"Ghost Wenzelton suffered so much tonight. If I hadn't pretended to be drunk, wouldn't he have been even more embarrassed?"
Shi Zhijian thought for a moment and understood that Lei Luo slapped Wen Zedun in front of Lichi. If this spread, Wen Zedun would definitely lose his face.
Now that Lei Luo is so "drunk", it can be easily explained.
The "grievance" between Lei Luo and Wen Zeton can be explained away by "drunkness".
Ginger is still spicier.
"Then Wen Zedun is quite capable in Hong Kong. I did a good job for you tonight. How can you thank me?" Lei Luo asked Shi Zhijian with a smile.
Shi Zhijian stretched out his hand to tidy up Lei Luo's clothes, mainly the "JP" brooch on it, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Lei Luo blushed, "I'm just asking casually, to be honest, I still want to thank you!"
"You're welcome, Brother Luo!"
"But you are so naughty! Use whatever you want to show off that Wen Zedun, and you can get two million directly!"
"I didn't lie to him, what I want is his six million!"
"What? Do you really want to build that machine?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "I'm going to Japan soon!"
"What are you going to do in Japan?"
"Let's do business!" Shi Zhijian raised his head and glanced at the night sky, "There is a lot of business to do outside, and there are many more opportunities than in Hong Kong!"
Lei Luo was startled for a moment: "Ajian, I can't see through you more and more!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "What can't you see? It's just that I'm trying to get out. There's a vast world, and there's a lot to do!"
"Hong Kong has endless money, I'm not greedy!" Lei Luo said.
Shi Zhijian couldn't help but glance at Lei Luo.
Lei Luo was embarrassed by Shi Zhijian and touched his face: "What do you think I'm doing? I don't have flowers on my face."
"I'm just surprised that the word 'not greedy' can come out of your mouth!"
Lei Luo blushed, thinking that Shi Zhijian was mocking him. He looked carefully, but Shi Zhijian didn't mean that. He looked really surprised.
"This person is destined to eat and use as much as he can in his life!" Lei Luo said, "I don't dare to be so ambitious."
Shi Zhijian did not refute Lei Luo's words. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, looked at the passersby on the roadside, and said in a calm voice: "My damn old man once said, if you hate people forever, the human heart is not as good as water, and if you set off a wild wave, it will be as high as the sky! Human beings are forever.
