Since then, Ou Guohua's coveting of Xingfeng Group has come to an end.
It's not that Ou Guohua didn't want to, it's just that he really wanted to kill the thief and was unable to save his life.
In order to control Xingfeng Entertainment and get back Ou Junlang's management contract, Ou Guohua's shareholding ratio must surpass Chen Feng's and become the largest shareholder.
But based on the current valuation, and considering the premiums that must be paid for forced acquisitions of rising companies, even if he only wants 47.5% of the shares, the asking price will have to exceed 4 billion.
With such a huge amount of funds, even Ouhe Group would be stretched thin.
"Dad, do you think I should ask Master to talk to you again later?"
Ou Junlang rubbed his face and asked with a smile.
Ou Guohua pointed to the door, "If you don't want to get beaten again, just get out of here!"
However, even if Ou Guohua still wanted to talk to Chen Feng, he had no chance.
The day after the Star Peak Entertainment explosion, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei boarded a plane to Los Angeles again.
This time the two did not bring Meng Xiaozhou as their translator.
This visit is not for business cooperation, and there is no need for formal negotiations.
Zhong Lei's English is basically up to standard, and Chen Feng's English has also improved by leaps and bounds, and communication is basically barrier-free.
The two walked out of Los Angeles Airport side by side.
Zhong Lei looked at Chen Feng with a very embarrassed look, "I already told you that you don't have to accompany me. I will go directly to the college to report. Then I will go into seclusion to study. I don't plan to go out for three months."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I'm not worried, I have to watch you settle down."
Zhong Lei had nothing to do with his inexplicable stubbornness.
Although I don’t quite understand it, it feels pretty good.
Although Los Angeles is a big city, the layout of the entire city is very scattered, with one district in the east and one district in the west. Traveling without a car is simply difficult.
Mason College, which Zhong Lei chose to study this time, is nearly 80 kilometers away from the airport, surrounded by mountains and sea, and has a quiet environment.
As a private music college, Mason College is world-renowned. It is quite unique in in-depth cultivation of music theory and advanced mastery of various musical instruments, as well as the capture of emotions during creation and other advanced knowledge. Many students have already enrolled in the school.
Famous musicians are guests and even students of Mason College.
However, the fees are also quite high, with the training fee for one person for three months being as high as 200,000 US dollars.
Since Zhong Lei is the creator of "Self-Burning" and is already somewhat famous here, the other party gave her a 50% discount and only took 100,000.
Not long after the two waited, a Mercedes-Benz Vito drove up smoothly.
The black driver jumped down from above, first looked down at the photo, then stretched his neck and looked around, and quickly found the two people at the airport gate.
Get in the car and leave.
The black driver was extremely enthusiastic and chatted all the way.
However, Zhong Lei is only interested in Chen Feng and is not very interested in talking to strangers.
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality, so Chen Feng had to speak in barely passable English and chat with the driver who spoke like a raconteur.
In fact, Chen Feng was quite absent-minded, thinking about his own things.
One of the reasons why he came to Los Angeles was to worry about Zhong Lei's safety.
Another reason is that he has not yet decided whether he should give Zhong Lei ideas about the golden record this time.
If it is to be done, how should it be implemented in order to achieve the goal without interfering with or restricting her ability to maximize the success rate.
When it comes to future operations, it seems simple, but in fact it is sophisticated.
Even if you say the wrong word inadvertently, everything may be ruined.
There are less than ten days until the next time he travels to the past, so Chen Feng decided to empty his mind here for the next few days so that he can seriously consider this important decision.
Suddenly, the black driver's tone became louder.
"Hey, buddy, have you seen the villa area on the mountain over there?"
Chen Feng looked away. On the hillside to the left of the vehicle, rows of gorgeous single-family villas were built continuously, which were both majestic and elegant.
Chen Feng nodded, "Very beautiful."
"Yes, look to the right, this is the Pacific Ocean! You know, when you open the back door of the living room, walk into the backyard, stand next to your swimming pool, and look up, you can see the Pacific Ocean in the distance. How wonderful it is.
.You can also hold parties, and beauties from all over Los Angeles want to come here to see the world. When the time comes, there will be nothing better than the beach, the sun, the hot beauties, the wild parties..."
Chen Feng nodded, "It's great."
He began to seriously think about it, if he had time later, he might as well come here and buy a house.
Regardless of whether he is here for vacation or to open up a new territory of influence, he will always need a base to stay.
If you want to influence the future more accurately at the scientific and technological level, you must not avoid this country.
Los Angeles, New York and Oakland are also three important cities that cannot be avoided.
"Brother, don't you want to know the name of this villa?"
Chen Feng lowered his head to check the map on his phone, "I know, Newport Beach."
"Yeah! This is Newport Beach! Do you watch basketball? Do you know Kobe Bryant? His home is here. You can be a neighbor with Kobe! Well friends, this is my business card, except for Mason
In addition to driving for college, I actually have a job. I am one of the ten best real estate buying agents in Los Angeles. If Mr. Chen, you are interested in buying a villa in Newport Beach, you are definitely right to contact me."
Chen Feng took the business card and looked back again, his eyes flashing and thoughts abounding.
When they arrived at Mason College, waiting for the two of them was Ms. Lesna, a tutor at the college.
Chen Feng went in to help Zhong Lei settle into the room. This was a single dormitory with good conditions.
As for Chen Feng himself, he plans to open a suite in the hotel opposite.
Lesna was surprised by the arrival of the boss Chen Feng.
It is very rare for artists to come for training and be accompanied by their boss in person.
Lesna was even more surprised when she heard that the boss was also a great music producer.
She rolled her eyes and said: "Tomorrow, the Grammy jury will hold a party in Beverly Hills. I have an invitation here that I want to forward to Ms. Zhong, inviting her, the creator of "Self-Combustion"
Attend. However, I still have a private invitation quota. I can invite another male companion to accompany me. Is it convenient for you, Mr. Chen Feng?"
Chen Feng thought for three seconds and nodded, "Okay."
He agreed, leaving Zhong Lei beside him speechless.
A few people chatted for a while, and the instructor, who was about forty years old, said goodbye and left. Before leaving, she and Chen Feng left each other's numbers and winked. If Chen Feng didn't have a Twitter account, she would probably have wanted to join him.
A Twitter or something.
Then the instructor swayed and twisted his waist and left.
Although she is not young, she maintains her figure very well and does not look old.
In this country, middle- and upper-class people like her, especially beautiful women, have very strict self-management of their body and shape.
Zhong Lei spit lightly.
It is indeed difficult for her to adapt to the unrestrained people here.
"Do you want to go to a party?" Zhong Lei asked.
Chen Feng nodded, "The Grammys are famous far and wide. The people invited to a small-scale party like this, in addition to the judges and members of the organizing committee, should all be well-known singers or producers here, with high rankings. Make more friends.
These types of people are good for the company and are an opportunity for us to expand our influence."
"Well, that's fine. But when the time comes, you go in with her, and you have to be with me after you go in."
Chen Feng nodded, "Don't worry, I won't give those playboys a chance to seduce you."
Zhong Lei smiled sweetly.
In fact, she didn't want to go, but Chen Feng agreed first, and she felt uneasy if she didn't go.
After all, Chen Feng's creative ability is too amazing in her mind.
Once someone learns about his identity and creative ability, Chen Feng will instantly become a walking hormone.
In the relatively restrained domestic environment, none of the new female artists can resist his "charm", let alone Europe and the United States, where the atmosphere is more open.
So Zhong Lei wants to keep an eye on him for everyone and not let him indulge in Hollywood's glamour.
Um.
But instead he said that he wanted to keep an eye on him. Zhong Lei felt very good in her heart.
As the world's most prestigious music award, the Grammy Awards' influence is not limited to the European and American music circles.
Many celebrities in the Chinese music scene are thinking about this and are fascinated by it.
Even if they can only get a back row seat in the award ceremony hall, these Chinese stars will hire photographers at their own expense, buy some photos with good shooting angles for thousands of dollars per photo, and then have them refined and retouched.
The draft was posted all over Chengdu.com and spread all over the place.
Or if you are not qualified to attend the award ceremony, then even if you just find a corner of the crowd, pretend to be popular, put on a rented dress, take a few gorgeous photos, and then write a title "xx is invited to attend"
Grammy, more beautiful than anyone else, and her aura is as good as Madonna’s” and so on.
This is a symbol of status and rank.
Even if you rub it, you have to rub it.
However, only large-scale award ceremonies can be used. Small-scale parties with extremely high ranks like this will almost never invite people with insufficient ranks.
After all, what others say is a party, and its purpose is to socialize with each other and expand contacts.
Useless connections, if others chat with you too much, it is a waste of life.
Music producers like Chen Feng who have just emerged and are in the stage of bursting with inspiration are truly high-quality connections that everyone wants.
Chen Feng didn't take it seriously himself. He was eating and drinking when he should. The next day, he and Zhong Lei went to a luxury store to buy some high-end clothes, and then asked the black driver from yesterday to drive around and go to Staples.
Went to watch a Lakers game at the stadium and visited a lot of attractions.
It wasn't until the party time was approaching and the female mentor called to urge them that the two of them asked the driver to turn around and drive to Beverly Hills.
The female instructor heard that they still had to drive, and suggested: "There is only an hour and a half until 5 p.m., and traffic jams are very easy during rush hour in Los Angeles. There is a private helicopter rental company within five kilometers of where you are at this time. It is best to go there.
Take a helicopter to Beverly and you'll be there in about forty minutes."
Zhong Lei seemed a little moved, but Chen Feng rejected it, "No. I don't like helicopters very much."
The other party said: "Then you will be late! At least an hour late!"
Chen Feng asked, "Does it mean you can't enter the venue if you are late? If so, there is nothing you can do about it."
"No, it's just that I have made an appointment with a few friends here, and they would like to communicate with you more. As you know, everyone's time is very tight and their schedules are very busy."
Chen Feng said: "Ms. Lesna, I understand your feelings and thank you very much for your introduction. But there is no need for me to force myself to do things I don't like in order to satisfy other people's time. I really don't want to fly in a helicopter if it's not necessary.
.We did not grasp the time well, it is our responsibility, I apologize to you, and I am willing to bear the consequences. If it is really inconvenient, then we will not come, I am very sorry..."
"Oh no no no! Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant. We will wait for you."
The other person was so frightened that he quickly hung up the phone.
Zhong Lei covered her mouth and smiled, "You are so arrogant. We are obviously in the wrong."
Chen Feng shrugged, "I bet a hundred dollars. Not only will the people waiting for us not be angry, but they will pay more attention to us. Do you believe it or not?"
"Okay, okay, I know! If you have the ability to travel all over the world, you're not afraid." Zhong Lei spread her hands angrily and said, "I'm just worried that this will have a negative impact on the company."
Chen Feng shook his head, "No, this is the most efficient."
Zhong Lei kept silent.
Here it comes again, the familiar smell of "rushing for time", and I don't know what he is nervous about.
Chen Feng was very carefree and didn't care that he was late and was stuck in traffic.
On the other side, outside the gate of a mansion worth 40 million US dollars in Beverly Hills, there was a group of anxious Chen Feng's compatriots who had come from afar.
There were about a dozen people in this group, including three or four young men and women, fashionably dressed, with exquisite make-up, and standard florets.
At this time, they were chattering around the person in charge of the party, the personal butler of the owner of the mansion.
The main speaker was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
If you are an artist or reporter who is familiar with the domestic entertainment industry, you will be able to recognize him here.
This is Wang Xilei, the second-largest shareholder and vice chairman of Zhongyi Entertainment Company.
He is also considered a big shot in the domestic entertainment circle.
But here, his face is not so easy to use.
The few big names he brought with him who were so big in the country that they traveled with at least a hundred bodyguards and punched and kicked fans who were on the hot search list had even less status.
The housekeeper was very impatient and wanted to turn away several times.
Another "agent" who was a lobbyist next to him repeatedly stopped him.
Due to the agent's relatively good influence in Hollywood, the butler was never able to leave.
"Mr. Wang, you also know that this is a small party held by the Grammy Organizing Committee. I can't let you in without the corresponding invitation letter and advance registration."
Wang Xilei stepped forward and lowered his voice: "With so many people inside, there must be hundreds of people. A few more people won't be a big problem, right?"
The butler still shook his head: "No, the problem is huge. Let me show you that among all the invitation and registration lists, there are only seven Chinese names in total. Chinese faces will be very conspicuous. Not to mention that your people are wearing
It has to be like this... In short, it attracts too much attention. It can't be done."
In order to sneak into today's occasion, those young ladies really worked hard in dressing up.
The cheapest clothes are high-end dresses and suits worth 100,000 US dollars, especially the small, low-cut dresses with exposed necklines, and top-notch luxury necklaces worth millions of dollars rented at their own expense.
Wang Xilei lowered his voice, "One hundred thousand."
The butler remained silent.
"Two hundred thousand."
Continue in silence.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Hmm..." The butler's heart moved, and his expression began to hesitate.
But he thought about his career and finally resisted his heartache and refused the devil's temptation.
Afraid that Wang Xilei would charge a higher price and increase his pain, he decisively turned around and left.
What a difficult choice.
This group of people looked at each other, but they had no choice but to wait outside.
Not long after, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the party, and more and more European and American celebrities appeared one after another, walking into the villa at the right time.
Wang Xilei simply asked a few young girls to stand outside the villa gate, pretending to be walking on the road, and took pictures of themselves with the passing European and American music circles, fashion circles and sports circles as the background.
Don't tell me, it looks pretty decent.
Things took a turn for the better ten minutes after the party officially started, when the butler came out.
"You are so lucky. Two of the invited Chinese musicians are late for some reason, so they probably won't come. So you can enter two, one male and one female. But I will only be on the registration list.
Write the names of the two invited people, and we will not make fake invitations for you. After you go in, it is best not to talk around, just eat something, go shopping, and then finish what you want to do as soon as possible.
Come out early. Don't cause any trouble for me."
Wang Xilei was overjoyed, nodded and bowed his head and thanked her repeatedly, and then ordered a man and a woman in.
As for others, they can only feel sad.
Opportunities are fleeting and so rare. When they are given up at the door, I can only blame myself for not being graceful enough in bed.
