Although he is the general manager of the company, but now he is meeting the real boss of the company, Yokokawa Eitaro is still more cautious in speaking, for fear of making the boss unhappy, so he simply said a lot at once.
This is the aura of Su Cheng. After being a big boss for a long time, an aura of calmness and self-power will naturally appear in your body.
Although Su Cheng seems to be very talkative at ordinary times, once an employee of one of his companies is secretly found to be involved in corruption, he will not show any mercy.
In the past few years, he has handled no less than ten people.
The subordinates who can be dealt with under his personal orders are basically at the top level of the company.
Of course, there is currently no intelligence indicating that there is any problem with the Yokokawa Eitaro in front of him. He has just joined Naomi Entertainment Company not long ago. The most important thing is that this is the first time Su Cheng has met him, so his attitude towards him is still there. It's pretty good.
Going off topic, back to the negotiation room, after listening to what Yokokawa Eitaro said, Su Cheng quite agreed with his idea.
The time that Namei Entertainment Company has been in Japan is still too short after all. In addition, Hollywood’s market in Japan is not as good as Japan’s local entertainment industry. No matter how powerful Namei Entertainment Company is in the beautiful country, here, After all, the popularity has become very low.
So, localization is indeed the best way to gain a foothold in Japan.
The artists Yokokawa Eitaro mentioned, Miss Yamaguchi Hakue, Miss Yoshinaga Sayuri, Miss Matsuzaka Keiko, Miss Sakurada Junko, etc., are obviously all female stars, and they should be famous in Japan today. They are not young, but Su Cheng has only heard of Miss Yamaguchi Baihui.
This goddess is a generation of Japanese goddess, and even has a very high reputation in the entire Chinese cultural circle. It is said that she reached her peak not long after her debut, and then withdrew from the entertainment industry at her peak, which made many people feel very regretful.
Moreover, Ms. Yamaguchi Hakue is actually still very young today. Ms. Yamaguchi Hakue, who was born in 1959, has just turned 20 years old this year.
According to Su Cheng’s understanding, this Japanese goddess will retire next year.
Now, her reputation is one of the best in Japan and even Asia.
Even in Xiangjiang, local media will report news about Yamaguchi Baihui from time to time, because there are many fans of Yamaguchi Baihui in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, Su Cheng was not surprised at all that Yokokawa Eitarō couldn't poach her.
It would be amazing if we could really recruit Yamaguchi Boe.
“Has our company made a profit in Japan in the past few months?” Su Cheng asked.
“Profit has been achieved, because we did not spend any money on this investment, but the profit is not high. As of June ago, our profit in Japan was only two dollars when converted into U.S. dollars. It’s only over one million US dollars, but we have entered the Japanese market for more than five months. This profit for nearly half a year is very low for the company. As far as I know, Warner Bros. Entertainment, which is also from Hollywood, The profit in Japan last year was US$670 million. This shows that we still have a long way to go in Japan. It is not easy to catch up with other Hollywood giants. "
Perhaps because the head office is from a beautiful country, Yokokawa Eitaro directly converted the company's funds into US dollars. It was also to make it easier for the boss of Sioux City to understand that he did not make a profit just because the company entered the Japanese market. And being complacent about this makes him look helpless.
After hearing what Yokokawa Eitaro said, Su Cheng nodded.
There is a huge difference between a few million US dollars and 670 million US dollars. Japan is indeed the second-largest supermarket after the beautiful country. It has 670 million U.S. dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
And this is just a major market for Warner Bros. Entertainment.
Of course, Sioux City knows that Warner Bros.'s annual profit is only a billion dollars.
Why does Japan account for 670 million US dollars in one market? Could it be that in a beautiful country, the profit is less than in Japan?
Of course not, but because giants like Warner Bros., which has a very high overseas market share, actually have major markets in Europe, the United States and Japan. As for other markets, they cannot actually be created by Warner Bros. How much wealth.
Japan’s current economic strength is one of the best in the world, and its citizens are relatively wealthy. Therefore, these large overseas companies have a soft hand in making money in Japan, so Japan’s profits are also in Warner Bros. Belongs to the big head.
Therefore, the total profit is more than one billion US dollars, which is already very high.
According to the current development speed, Namei Entertainment will definitely be able to catch up with Warner Bros. in terms of profits this year.
As for the big pie in the Japanese market, if Namei Entertainment can get a hand in and carve it up, it will definitely be able to surpass Warner Bros. in terms of making money.
This is why Su Cheng is also interested in the Japanese branch of Namei Entertainment Company. He hopes that Japan can become the next key market of Namei Entertainment Company so that he can make money here.
Since we happen to be in Japan and can help the Japanese branch of Na'vi Entertainment Company, Su Cheng will naturally help.
After all, as a private company, Namei Entertainment is creating wealth for him personally.
"Don't think about it, Miss Yamaguchi Boe. I also know her. I guess she won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry for long. I spent a huge price to sign her and quit the entertainment industry not long after. Then we The loss would be huge," Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although signing her can bring a lot of fame to Naomi Entertainment, with Yamaguchi Hakue's current reputation, if you want to sign her and pay huge compensation to the original contract company, it will be difficult to earn this money in less than two or three years. Gotta come back.
Bringing the company great fame is not a very simple thing for Su Cheng?
What's more, Su Cheng also knows which superstars there will be in Japan in the future. He can just find them and train them. Why spend so much time and money on Yamaguchi Baihui?
As for poaching a popular star to make a name for Namei Entertainment, Junko Sakurada, whom Yokokawa Eitaro said, is actually not bad. The company poaching her will be enough for Namei Entertainment to have enough influence in Japan. hot topics, thus making Japanese people familiar with it.
After all, Sakurada Junko, Yamaguchi Hakue and Mori Masako are known as the "Flower Trio". Although her reputation in Japan is not as good as Yamaguchi Hakue's, the cost-effectiveness of poaching him will definitely be better. high.
"Why? Miss Yamaguchi Boe is now the most popular female star in Japan, and she is still so young." Yokokawa Eitaro said in surprise.
"I have my own intelligence source here in Japan. You should know that Yamaguchi Boe is now in love with Miura Yuka, right?" Su Cheng asked.
"News broke that they started dating last year. At the beginning of this year, Miura Yuka proposed to Yamaguchi Hakue, but it seems that Ms. Yamaguchi Hakue did not want to get married so early." Yokokawa Eitarō nodded and said. (End of this chapter)
