Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: A Long-cherished Wish Fulfilled

'Unfortunately, my last visit to the capital to meet with those automobile companies didn't get anywhere,' said Bao Zhuoyuan, sensing the joyful atmosphere outside.

The English version had advertisements for such large luxury items as automobiles, but the Chinese version had not made any gains. Feng Yiping was also quite unwilling, but he was a little embarrassed to bring up the issue.

Last time, under the introduction of Director Sha from the provincial office in Beijing, Bao Zhuoyuan spent several days and a lot of money contacting the relevant departments and leaders of two automobile companies. The result was that it was not impossible to advertise, but in order to get them to advertise, he had to get through a long list of connections, and that long list immediately put Bao Zhuoyuan off.

He reported the situation to Feng Yiping, who thought it was a bad idea. If they negotiated the advertising with them, the advertising costs would be offset by the public relations costs, so what's the point?

Moreover, automobile companies are also the hardest hit by corruption, and many executives have been arrested later.

This matter, because it allowed Bao Zhuoyuan, a Hong Kong compatriot, to see the style of doing things of some of our large state-owned enterprises, also made Feng Yiping feel a little ashamed.

'Forget it, it's not a deal if you push yourself. We'll just wait for them to come to us in the future, or if they don't, that's fine too. I'm sure there won't be a shortage of companies wanting to advertise in our magazine,' Feng Yiping said.

'Yes, there have been quite a few calls from mainland companies these days asking about related matters, and the advertising department is following up as best it can. But I still want to go to Shanghai,' Bao Zhuoyuan said.

'That's fine, but I don't think we should get our hopes up,' he says. Although they are all joint ventures, the majority of them are still state-owned enterprises, and their styles of operation are unlikely to be very different.

'We'll have to work hard,' Bao says.

'Good luck with that! How about it, Mr Bao? Do you still find it difficult to generate annual revenue of 100 million yuan?' Feng asks with a smile.

He remembered that at the end of last year when he mentioned at the staff meeting that the magazine would also earn over 100 million yuan this year, Bao Zhuoyuan's face had shown shock.

'Haha, now that I look back, it wasn't difficult at all,' Bao Zhuoyuan's face was glowing with a radiant glow, 'Speaking of which, Yiping, you were right to insist on it at the beginning. If we had done what we wanted and taken some advertisements to tide us over, then the magazine would not have been able to get such high-quality advertisements now. You really do have vision!'

'Mr Bao, don't praise me. At the time, I was also very upset about throwing money into the magazine month after month. It's just that I'm a bit stubborn sometimes. Once I set my mind on a goal, I'll work hard in that direction, and if I don't succeed, I'll die trying. Fortunately, the result was good,' Feng Yiping said with a smile.

'I used to think that wasn't true, but now, I believe it. Success really favours the paranoid,' Bao Zhuoyuan said with a smile.

'Success is due to your hard work,' unlike Jin Ling, people of Bao Zhuoyuan's age are prone to sentimentality. Feng Yiping humbly responded, and then changed the subject, "By the way, Bao, have you made appointments for the people I asked you to contact?'

'As soon as they heard it was you, they were very gracious and have already made the appointments," Bao Zhuoyuan took out a notebook and gave it to him, 'This is the time I have agreed with them,'

Feng Yiping took a look and was very pleased. These superstars really do remember old friends. It's probably the same in any industry. You have to be a good person first, otherwise it's not easy to succeed in any industry.

'Thank you, Mr Bao, please send me a car tomorrow,'

'No problem, but I didn't know you were in contact with them. These are the elite of our Hong Kong entertainment industry!' Bao Zhuoyuan pointed to the names on the list.

'Oh, it's nothing. I just dealt with them before and wrote a few songs,'

'No wonder, they agreed right away when your name was mentioned,'

PolyGram, which was once in the limelight and had most of Hong Kong and Taiwan's top singers under its banner, was acquired by Universal last year, so Feng Yiping didn't have it as easy this time as he had before. It was enough to just go to one company, but he had to run around to several.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't want to go through the official channels. Instead of contacting the agents and companies first, he directly communicated with them personally. He played a few songs that he had painstakingly remembered, and if they were interested, the copyright would be theirs. He just had to help them finalise their participation in a concert in October.

Many of the songs he 'composed' this time were later works by the hugely popular Jay Chou and Eason Chan, who boasts of being the successor to the 'God of Songs'. Well, I'm sorry!

The result was quite smooth. Jay Chou couldn't walk down the street with 'Love Shifting' and 'Ten Years'. In recent years, he has made many movies, but very few classic musical works. After meeting these two songs, which have since won numerous awards, what else is there to say?

The King was humming with all his heart over there, and Feng Yiping read on the BMG Records profile that the ageless goddess, Barbie Hsu, who had had a rocky love life, was also under its banner?

He immediately remembered the graceful pictures he had once used as his desktop backgrounds. That quiet teenage heart of his couldn't help but stir a little. You tell me, could I take this opportunity to meet my idol once?

Unfortunately, Lun's family is not in Hong Kong at the moment, as they are promoting the movie in Japan. But never mind, Feng Yiping has decided to write the song 'The Girl Fluttering Her Wings' during his few days in Hong Kong. Hey, with this as a door-opener and a gift, it should be possible to meet up and invite him to come and support the opening of the store, right?

It also went quite well with the God of Song. Although his current focus is on opera, how can he resist good music? With his skills, I believe that 'Blue and White Porcelain' and 'A Thousand Miles Away' will be performed even more vividly.

Eason, who is also with Universal, was not left out. As compensation, he was given the song 'Because of Love' in advance. Feng Yiping personally likes him and the electronic music queen from the same company, Kelly Chen, who also debuted as a queen of imitations. Of course, later, how the specific arrangements would be made would definitely have to take Universal's opinion into consideration.

It is worth mentioning that on the day he received the fax from Liu Tianwang, Xu Ruoxuan hurried back in advance. Haha, Feng Yiping finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish.

Don't get the wrong idea, they just met, took a few pictures together and got a lot of autographs.

I have to say, even if she is the ageless goddess, she was even more beautiful when she was younger, and she is even more beautiful in person than in the movie, so beautiful that Feng Yiping dares not look directly at her for long for fear of getting burned.

Speaking in Taiwanese, although it doesn't sound very impressive when she is reading lines in the movie, it is still very pleasing to the ear when she is chatting in private.

The idol of course readily agreed to his request.

With these songs as a gift, the performance contract was negotiated very smoothly with the help of the celebrities themselves, and the cooperation was finalized as Jinling had just registered Jiasheng Creative Culture.

With a thick stack of contracts in his hands, Feng Yiping felt confident that with these big names, it would be very easy to find some supporting actors.

Upon hearing the news, Jinling immediately convened a special meeting in the provincial capital. Upon hearing the news, Zhou Xinyu and the others were both excited and couldn't believe it. When did the young boss suddenly become so capable?

Mei Yiliang had known a little bit before, but not everything. He was also shocked when he heard the news. There are some things that even paying back a debt is not always possible. But this time, his nephew was able to easily get two top stars to appear in just a few days – don't knock it, getting the four top stars to appear together is something that even the Spring Festival Gala, which boasts the highest viewership in the world, can't easily pull off.

Jin Ling had just heard Huang Jingping talk about the inside story and knew about Feng Yiping's past. No wonder when he was interviewed by the school newspaper, he didn't want to mention the source of his first pot of gold. If people knew, it would definitely not be over.

It seems that although Yiping has not set foot in the entertainment industry, his novels have been adapted into movies, and he has written a few popular classic songs. In fact, he has already set one foot in the entertainment industry.

But he actually resisted the temptation of the fast-money entertainment industry, which is rare and precious!

'Yiping has done the most important work, and the next thing we must all complete quickly. I will divide up the work: inviting the leaders will be my responsibility, along with President Mei. In addition, I will assist Yiping in adding to the lineup of performers. President Mei will still be in charge of the work in the provincial capital.

In addition, President Xu, you are responsible for arranging the performance venue, President Zhou, you are responsible for communicating with the suppliers to confirm the number of people they are bringing, and President Ye of the Administration Department is responsible for publicity work through various channels...,'

With the end of this meeting, the news spread immediately.
