The reason why Zunlong had a strong curiosity about Ning Weimin.
It just proves a truth - talented people will always shine no matter where they are.
But on the other hand, Ning Weimin was very happy to meet Zunlong here today in the kitchen of the Song family, and felt that he was quite lucky.
For no other reason than Ning Weimin already has plans to make a "Crazy Rich Asians" movie for Teresa Teng.
In fact, ever since he came up with the idea in Japan, he felt that the male protagonist of this movie would be the most suitable actor.
Not only the image, language, age, acting skills, and background are all suitable.
He thought about all the Chinese male stars, and indeed only Zun Long could bring the most perfect lover image to those women who love to dream.
The key is that it is most appropriate to consider the commercial value.
It can be said that in the eyes of Ning Weimin, who can see the future, Zunlong today is just like a big bull stock that is ready to go.
Ning Weimin actually knows very well that as soon as "The Last Emperor" is released.
Zunlong will become the second Chinese movie star after Bruce Lee to gain a large number of fans in Western society and gain acceptance and recognition from mainstream Western culture.
Although Zunlong failed to even get an Oscar nomination for the best actor in the end, that was simply due to racial prejudice.
In any case, Ning Weimin only knows that with the success of this "The Last Emperor".
Not only has John's personal fame skyrocketed and he has risen to the mainstream of Hollywood, he has also become the first Asian actor to endorse Rolex watches.
It can be said to be world-famous, with both fame and fortune,
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the number one Chinese male star at that time.
If compared with him, the weight of Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan would not be enough.
Even Fei Xiang is too young, and his influence is limited to the mainland.
There is no doubt that while Zun Long is not too hot now, if he can sign his performance contract in time, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Not to mention that the price is definitely much better than it would be six months later.
And if "Crazy Rich Asians" can be successfully filmed, it will most likely be released in time for "The Last Emperor" to win nine Oscars next year, and steadily ride on the popularity of "The Dragon".
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to waiting for the wind to come out and preparing to take off.
If that happens, the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" will never lose money no matter how big the investment is.
On the contrary, it will solidify Matsumoto Keiko’s career foundation and make her studio famous in one fell swoop.
How wonderful this is!
So this is called getting whatever you want.
Originally, Ning Weimin felt regretful that he had been in a hurry when he returned to Tokyo last time and that he had not been able to see Zunlong.
Now that I have caught up a little bit, I unexpectedly saw Zun Long appearing at Song Huagui's home. I learned from him that the filming of "The Last Emperor" has not been completed yet, and it will take at least two more months to complete the filming.
It’s like God opened his eyes and deliberately sent money to him to spend!
Of course he will try his best to seize the opportunity and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
How can it not be beautiful in my heart?
If it weren’t for Zou Guodong’s presence in front of him, he would probably have hummed the tune of “I am smiling proudly” even while kneading and kneading the dough.
"Hey, Lao Zou, if I knead the noodles a little softer, your stuffing needs to be lighter. Don't put too much salt. People are light-hearted. Otherwise, you won't be used to it."
"Hey, you kid is not in a bad mood. You actually work so hard. It seems that it is different now that you have a girlfriend. Hey, but to be honest, you seem to be a little afraid of your wife. Ah, I'm not married yet, but I'm always thinking about Keiko being Japanese. You know she's soft-spoken, and you don't care how much salt she puts in her words. So if you're married, why don't you put your wife on your head every day? ”
Unexpectedly, even though Ning Weimin tried his best to restrain himself, Zou Guodong could see his happiness.
But it seems that Zou Guodong really misunderstood and thought it was all the result of Keiko Matsumoto.
Actually, Ning Weimin was more because Miss Jiang Si and Shen Cun also came back from the United States. Based on their dietary preferences, he thought that Zunlong might be the same. This was for the sake of the next We are preparing to win over people's hearts in one step.
Of course, then again, for whom is Ning Weimin fighting for Zun Long to be the leading actor?
After all, isn’t she still a model loving wife?
So he didn’t care about it. Instead, he played with Qingpi indifferently and borrowed the donkey from Poxia. “You can say whatever you like, say whatever you like. Anyway, I don’t care. I’m afraid of my wife. I am afraid of my wife, how can I act like you are not afraid?”
These words were stinging. Why did Zou Guodong throw it over, and why did he throw it back?
Zou Guodong was so angry that his face darkened and he coughed uncontrollably.
Seeing that the next step is probably to throw the chopsticks in my hand over.
Ning Weimin was not stupid, so he quickly changed the subject and gave in.
“Hey, Lao Zou, stop teasing me, long live friendship. We are all men, so why be so impatient?”
Then I took the opportunity to inquire about the news that concerned me the most.
“Hey, there’s something strange to me. Isn’t this dragon an American star? Why does he seem to get along well with Mr. Song? I think we are almost a family. Isn’t this Isn’t there some cultural barrier?”
“Ah, you said this...”
Zou Guodong had nothing to hide from Ning Weimin, so he told the truth.
“This dragon is not a very utilitarian person, but he is very serious about acting. When filming, he always seems to have his own opinions on many things, and he often uses historical evidence to argue with the director. This made the Italian director very dissatisfied. Mr. Song, you are best at resolving disputes. Fortunately, she can always resolve the differences quickly. Maybe it's because she often comes forward to make peace with the director. As the movie was being filmed, both the director and Zun Long became more and more attached to her. Especially I heard that Zun Long seems to be an orphan without parents. It may be because our Mr. Song is fifteen years older than him and can be like a big sister. You should care about him as well. Later, this guy really recognized Mr. Song as his sister. "Ning Weimin actually knew that Zunlong was an orphan, after all, he had experienced the information age.
Those editors who write articles on headlines, in order to win other people’s attention, would like to expose three generations of celebrities’ ancestors.
Perhaps it is because of this that he has an unspeakable fondness for Zun Long.
Of course, it is also easier for him to understand where Zunlong's trust and kindness towards Song Huagui come from.
However, it was a bit of unexpected bad news to hear that Zun Long actually liked to be serious with the director, and Ning Weimin couldn't help but frown.
You know, although it is a good thing for an actor to be dedicated, it is not a good thing to always have his own ideas and interfere with the director's ideas.
This means that it will affect the shooting progress, and even damage the director's authority to some extent, making the entire film shooting possible out of control.
Ning Weimin certainly doesn’t like that his investments are full of variables and out of control.
And his worried expression was caught by Zou Guodong at the right time, and it actually became the reason for him to be ridiculed by Zou Guodong.
"Haha, you kid, are you jealous? I also tell you that this guy has been going to Maxim's to eat often since the beginning of this year. When the Spring Festival comes, he can't wait to spend it at Mr. Song's house You are more like Mr. Song’s relative than me. As long as he is around, your position will no longer be in front of our big boss. Isn’t it sad?”
However, this kind of words that Zou Guodong thought would hurt his heart not only had no effect at all, but actually made Ning Weimin laugh.
Because from all this distance, he could smell the sour smell of vinegar.
It is true that someone has a sense of crisis that his position has declined, but obviously it cannot be him.
"What do I have to be sad about? The closer Mr. Song is to Zun Long, the better it will be for me. Were you not there just now? Didn't you see me trying to trick others? I still want to do this What if a big star overthrows Qingzi’s studio to make a movie for us? Zhengchou has nowhere to start. If I ask Mr. Song to give me a nice word, it will be of some use, right?”
But listen to Ning Wei. If the people say this, Zou Guodong's opinion will be great.
"Ah! Making a movie? I thought you were just being polite. I didn't expect you to come here for real? Darling, you are so uneasy! Hey, I'm not talking about you, why do I feel that you are doing more and more things now? It's getting more and more deviated from the main business. Don't forget, why did you go to Tokyo? The main reason is to run a restaurant, sell the trolley suitcases, and open up the market overseas. Secondly, it is also to let you and Japan Pierre Cardin. Co., Ltd. to seek more cooperation between China and Japan under the same brand. But it’s a good thing that you actually went to film the movie "Li Xianglan". You are young and fun, and you are talking to a Japanese star. I can understand being in love occasionally. But why do you want to take this as your main job? How can you do this? People’s energy is limited, so what can you do if you are just having fun?”
"Ouch, this is all wrong. Mr. Zou, Mr. Zou, you are too worried. First of all, it is also beneficial to our company for me to help Qingzi organize the movie. Because in my understanding , movies and music are just disguised advertisements. Managing these entertainment products can not only make money, but also serve our company’s commercial brand. Why not do this, especially since our company itself represents fashion? , need to lead the fashion, this need is even more indispensable. Secondly, I have not delayed my business. Isn’t my sales of trolley suitcases good? Now the domestic supply can’t keep up with what I sell. There is also the Tokyo branch of Tan Gong Restaurant. Didn’t I do a good job? Let me tell you the good news in advance. In less than a year, all the costs have been recovered. I have also repaid the original investment of 2 million yuan. Ten times..."
"Ten times! Are you talking nonsense?"
Zou Guodong couldn't help but be shocked by Ning Weimin's words.
“No. It’s only 20 million! I don’t care.”
Ning Weimin said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Of course, I'm talking about RMB, and it's gross profit..."
"Twenty million!" Zou Guodong gasped, such a profit margin exceeded There are many illegal industries.
"Isn't this enough? What else are you thinking about? Don't tell me, 20 million yuan is not a lot of money to you."
"Let's compare it with what? Just As I said, trolley suitcases are also selling well, with 60,000 units sold last year. According to the consumption situation in Japan, the main sales are high-end suitcases from Pierre Cardin and Goldlion, accounting for 100%. Forty percent. If the gross profit per suitcase is calculated as 60,000 yen, it is 1.4 billion yen, which is almost 10 million US dollars, or 80 million yuan. So if the two businesses are compared, the restaurant's profit is 1.4 billion yen. It pales in comparison.”
At this time, Zhou Guodong looked at Ning Weimin with a very sour expression.
He said with admiration and dissatisfaction, "Let's see what you can do. Just tell me how much Pierre Cardin China Corporation can get from these two businesses, right?"
Ning Weimin thought for a while and said calmly, "Don't expect too much from the restaurant. I'm also considering whether to open a branch next year, so I can only share half of the profits with everyone. There are taxes in Japan." It's also relatively heavy. Even if we have an agreement with our Republic not to collect taxes twice, it is estimated that the gross profit of 10 million yuan will only be 8 million yuan. On March 13, our company can get 200 yuan. The net profit is about 700,000. The situation of the trolley suitcase is much better. Since there is no other company, I set a higher price for the domestic company. My own Da Dao Trading Company gave up the profit, and the profit was almost all. It is retained in the account of the domestic Yi La De company. In this way, we pay less tax to Japan. The company's 80 million should be paid domestically, and a small half of the funds should be left for subsequent business. In terms of development and production costs, Yi La De can contribute about 40 million in after-tax profits to the company. Goldlion sells less goods than Pierre Cardin, but it should be about the same. Note that I said the same. It’s RMB. And that doesn’t include the commission I get from being an intermediary in Japan, and the corporate tax I have to pay. You can’t let me suffer, so you have to make up for it.”
Ning. Weimin only briefly talked about the division of financial interests.
Although he did not explain clearly some issues involving taxation.
But even so, it was enough to move Zou Guodong.
"You're so capable, aren't you? You actually have so many! In other words, you alone earned 40 million in profits for the company in Japan. Oh my god, this is almost as fast as our busy schedule. The total profit for the year is over! Wait... In other words, your total turnover last year was hundreds of millions, and the profit was over 100 million? Then you can also share tens of millions!"
Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned when he said these words.
When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
Even though Yi La De is just an OEM leather bag company, there are only a few people at the headquarters in Beijing.
There is not much serious work to do when working every day. Even the accounts and accounts are managed by Ning Weimin himself.
It is really incredible that a small company like this can achieve as much performance in one year as Pierre Cardin China Corporation.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising at all.
Even if you put aside the issue of the two patents, don’t forget that although there are many pilcardon franchise stores in China and they are located in four first-tier cities, the total number is only 20 Home.
My foundation is weak.
Coupled with the low domestic consumption level, how much turnover is there every day?
But Ning Weimin's delivery in Japan is different. He uses Yamato Kanko's ready-made sales department to sell food, and he doesn't even have to worry about logistics.
Yamato Kanko has 46 stores across the country in Japan.
Coupled with the high consumption level of the Japanese, it is not surprising that Ning Weimin’s personal business development has caught up with that of the Huaxia Corporation.
But having said that, this account was calculated after Zou Guodong's inquiry. I am afraid that his identity as the richest man in the country cannot be hidden for long even if he wants to. (End of this chapter)
