Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 582 This is the real wool from the sheep

During the tryst with Kyoko Koizumi, although Cao Zhiqiang lied a lot, some of the content was true.

For example, the matter of writing a new song is true, but it does not require him to practice hard and think hard like Cao Zhiqiang said.

In fact, this matter, in the final analysis, was caused by Cao Zhiqiang's pretentiousness.

Because Cao Zhiqiang was able to get online with Warner Pioneer at the beginning, thanks to the recommendation of Mito Endo, and the reason why Mito Endo recommended Cao Zhiqiang was that when Mito Endo was in the Music Copyright Association, he accidentally knew that someone had registered on the Internet in one breath. I couldn't help but be curious about the copyright of the hundred new songs, and went to have a look. After finding that they were all of good quality, I went to meet with Cao Zhiqiang.

And because Endo saw that Cao Zhiqiang could write and sing, and all of them were very good, he became interested in talents, so he recommended him to the president of Warner Pioneer, and told Cao Zhiqiang's special features.

Therefore, at least President Yamamoto of Warner Pioneer knows that Cao Zhiqiang has the copyrights of at least hundreds of new songs.

It's just that if this is the case, it's nothing. After all, although there are not many prolific singers, there are also many.

However, Cao Zhiqiang's first debut song became popular like this, breaking the record of Oricon's newcomer weekly list, and making Warner Pioneer also make a fortune, so President Tokumoto Yamamoto thought about it and wanted to take advantage of this big The hot momentum, make persistent efforts, and continue to let Cao Zhiqiang release a new song.

For this reason, President Yamamoto also had a special meeting with Cao Zhiqiang, and had a good talk with Cao Zhiqiang.

This is because Cao Zhiqiang and Warner Japan did not sign a relatively solid exclusive contract, and the two parties are only a loose temporary cooperative relationship, so it is necessary to negotiate in this way.

Since it was President Yamamoto who came to talk to Cao Zhiqiang himself, Cao Zhiqiang took the opportunity to offer conditions.

In addition to the increase of the share of the new song by two percentage points to 12.00%, Cao Zhiqiang also asked President Yamamoto to help contact a Japanese film company, hoping to introduce a film from China, to be more precise, from China’s Hongguang Film Factory— - "Love in Guting"!
That's right, by this time, Cao Zhiqiang had decided to sell his film in Japan.

In this regard, Tokugen Yamamoto agreed, but decided to look at the finished film before recommending it.

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang showed Yamamoto Tokugen the Japanese version of "Love in Guting" that he had edited himself.

That's right, it is Warner Pioneer, which wants to help distribute this movie in Japan instead of distributing it to other film companies.

It was at this time that Cao Zhiqiang knew that Warner Pioneer in Japan was not only a record company, but also engaged in film and video tape business.

But at present, Warner Pioneer's record business is more prominent, while the film and video tape business is relatively weak, and more movies and cartoons are introduced from the United States, which makes Warner Pioneer considered a record company.

In fact, Warner Pioneer is a company that takes everything in film and television, and also has its own theater channels.

It's just that Warner Pioneer's theater channel is more of a model of cooperation with other theaters, and it doesn't have its own movie theaters.

But Warner Pioneer's video tape business is doing relatively well, and it has its own video tape channel.

In short, although Warner Pioneer is not very eye-catching in the film industry, relying on the two giants of Warner America and Japan Pioneer as the backstage, its strength is still not to be underestimated.

With the help of Warner Pioneer to introduce foreign films to Japan to relax, compared to other film companies, it is still very reliable.

Of course, even if Warner Pioneer intends to introduce Cao Zhiqiang's "Love in the Guting", it must first submit it for review.

To put it simply, even if Warner Pioneer thinks this movie is good, it must first take the movie to "Yinglun", that is, the "Film Ethics Management Committee" for review.

Only after "Ying Lun" has passed the review can it be officially released.

Another point is that the procedure Cao Zhiqiang used this time is unreasonable.

Because "Love in Guting" is a foreign film, it has to go through customs first.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang came to Japan this time, because he did not take the initiative to declare to the customs, and the Japanese airport did not take the initiative to inquire about and inspect this matter, Cao Zhiqiang brought in the master tape of the movie, and the Japanese customs did not know.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Cao Zhiqiang's behavior is a violation.

Of course, if Cao Zhiqiang does not take the content of the master tape to the public screening, then there is no problem, but if you want to come to Japan for public screening, you still have to go through the customs first. After the customs pass, you can go to Yinglun for review. , After Yinglun passed the review, it was the turn of the Japanese film distribution company to help distribute it.

However, this kind of thing is trivial to people like Tokugen Yamamoto.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang agrees to allow Warner Pioneer to release the film, he can help with customs clearance and sending it to Yinglun for review.

No way, don't think that Japan is a law-based society that does not care about relationships and implements everything according to the law. That is for ordinary people.

For a big guy like Tokugen Yamamoto, it's trivial to do anything illegal.

But to be on the safe side, we still have to go through the basic process.

To put it simply, Tokugen Yamamoto would first say hello to the Japanese customs, and then Cao Zhiqiang asked someone to take the mother of the movie back to the country, and then come to Japan again, and then the normal customs declaration when coming to Japan is fine.

Because Tokugen Yamamoto sent someone to say hello in advance, so the customs will basically release it quickly. After all, Cao Zhiqiang’s movie is a feature film of pure love, there is no excessive plot, and it is easy to pass normal approval, but it will be a waste. some time.

And with Yamamoto Tokugen looking for someone to say hello, you can save a lot of customs clearance time.

Also, if Cao Zhiqiang wants to release Chinese movies in Japan in the future, he can call Yamamoto Tokugen in advance to confirm. At that time, Yamamoto Tokugen will also ask the customs to say hello, so that Cao Zhiqiang can get it later. Movies can also go through the fast track when they come to Japanese customs for review.

Therefore, even in modernized and legalized Japan, relationships are equally important.

In fact, even if you don’t go through this procedure, Yamamoto Tokugen can completely ask Japanese customs to issue a clearance document, just change the date a few days in advance.

It's just that in this way, more favors will be spent after all, and there will be some traces after all, so it's better to make Cao Zhiqiang troublesome and send someone to go through the normal procedures to declare. Can't find a gap.

For this reason, Cao Zhiqiang has decided to send Anping to take the Japanese version of "Love in the Guting" back to China, and then come to Japan in the name of business to declare the film normally.

It will take some time to go back and forth, and during this time, Cao Zhiqiang can do many things that he doesn't want Anping to know.

For example, secretly set up an offshore company in Japan, and then put in the [-] million US dollars provided by the country in batches. Anping should not let Anping know about these things.

Since the previous song "Jun が い る だ け で" was a big hit, and there was a follow-up cooperation, although Cao Zhiqiang proposed to pay the remuneration in advance, Warner Pioneer still agreed.

In this way, Pioneer Warner first wired the money to Sada's office, and then Sada's office wrote Cao Zhiqiang an unregistered check, plus some cash in Japanese yen.

After Cao Zhiqiang got the check and cash, he asked Sada Masashi's younger brother Shigeri Sada to help him find an intermediary specializing in offshore companies.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang consulted the financial intermediary and finally chose to buy an offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands.

That's right, it's a purchase, not a new registration.

Because it will be more troublesome to register a new company, you need to fill in a lot of personal information, and it will take a certain amount of time.

It is easy to buy an existing offshore company, as long as you give money, the processing time is very fast, and you don't need to fill in real information, you can also fill in false information.

However, buying such an existing offshore company costs a little more money, because it usually costs a premium compared to a normally registered company.

The advantage is that this method of anonymously purchasing offshore companies is more secretive and difficult to check.

Of course, there are no real secrets in the world, and you can find them if you insist.

For example, if you find an intermediary who handles this business for Cao Zhiqiang, you can know the relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and this offshore company.

However, as long as Cao Zhiqiang goes back to other countries and regions and changes his offshore company, such as changing the company name and changing the company account number, he can dive again. It is also difficult for the intermediary handling this business to find the connection with Cao Zhiqiang through the original company name and account number.

In the final analysis, the point of this kind of offshore company and account is a secret.

In other words, it is the name of the offshore company, as well as the account number and password. The fewer people know, the better.

Especially the account number and password, it is best that only everyone knows.

As for how to set up several offshore company accounts and then transfer them back and forth, the method is good, but it is not necessary now.

The reason is that China's current financial system is relatively independent and does not belong to the financial systems of the United Kingdom or the United States. It is difficult or even impossible to trace each other.

Relatively speaking, the current level of secrecy in the British financial system is higher, and even the British government cannot check it casually, so the Cayman Islands are so popular because it belongs to the financial system of the British Empire, which has better privacy and confidentiality. Stronger.

In short, after purchasing an offshore company in the Cayman Islands in Japan and re-establishing his secret account and new password, Cao Zhiqiang finally had a place to hide his secret funds.

In this way, the so-called "fog" organization became even more presentable.

At least the domestic cash check to Cao Zhiqiang can come in handy.

Five hundred million U.S. dollars seems to be a lot, but that is for the country.

In fact, in the financial systems of Europe and the United States, [-] million US dollars is a small splash, which cannot be turned over at all.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang only divided it twice, and transferred all the [-] million US dollars to his newly established offshore company account, and it was completely secure.

It can be done so quickly, thanks to the awesomeness of HSBC.

That's right, the domestic cash check to Cao Zhiqiang is from HSBC Bank, so as long as you have HSBC Bank, you can see the check to withdraw money.

In addition, HSBC Bank has business relations with the Cayman Islands, and can directly send money anonymously to the account of the offshore company in the Cayman Islands, and only needs to pay a small handling fee.

The so-called anonymity is not that HSBC staff will help you transfer money, but give you a cabin with a computer, and then tell you how to operate it, and then you enter the bank account number and password you want to transfer money by yourself, and then transfer the money by yourself.

The bank account of the offshore company purchased by Cao Zhiqiang belongs to Cayman Bank, so as long as he enters the anonymous account number of Cayman Bank, he can transfer the money by himself.

During the whole process, the staff of HSBC Bank were not on site to watch, and even the account where the money is transferred is a temporary account created by yourself, which can be destroyed by itself after transferring the money.

In this way, absolute confidentiality can be achieved.

Naturally, there is a more secret way, which is to take the cash check directly to a bank in the Cayman Islands, such as Cayman Bank and Cayman International Bank, and pay directly by check.

At present, Cao Zhiqiang does not need to go to the Cayman Islands in person, but only needs to transfer the money to the secret account in the Cayman Islands through HSBC.

Anyway, with China's current capabilities, even if Cao Zhiqiang only had that one anonymous account, if he didn't go around in different offshore accounts, he wouldn't be able to find any traces at all.

Not to mention now, even in 2023, China's comprehensive strength and economic strength will be the second in the world, and this will not be possible.

For the financial system dominated by the Western order, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it, unless you break the old order again and build a new one.

In fact, it's not that Cao Zhiqiang is greedy when he asks the country for the money.

To put it bluntly, this is just Cao Zhiqiang's self-protection strategy.

Because money is needed, it can make the big bosses in the country feel more at ease. If money is not required, it is easy for the big bosses to worry and think about it.

There is no way, the ones that don’t need money are always the most expensive, unless it is aid at the national level, such as the aid from the Soviet Union back then, otherwise this kind of behavior of giving nothing without giving it is unreliable, let alone this time It's even more impossible to give it for free, which is still a proper Western taste.

Because everyone knows that the current leaders in the Western world are Yankees, and Yankees are not Soviets. They will never give good things without money, unless the Yankees change their gender.

Don't say it for nothing, the Yankees can ask you for less money and cheat you less, so you can burn the incense.

But the things that Cao Zhiqiang gave were not free, but they were all things that could not be bought internationally.

Let’s not talk about the F110 aviation engine, just talk about the full-bombed Tu-160 bomber plus technical information, where do you buy these things?
Even if China has money now, knows that the Soviet Union has it, and begs the Soviet Union to buy it, the Soviet Union will not sell it.

In the same way, even if China and the United States are in the honeymoon period now, and China is begging the United States to sell the B52 bomber with money, the United States will not sell it.

The reason is very simple. Strategic bombers that can carry cruise missiles are different from fighter jets.

Because a strategic bomber that can carry cruise missiles is basically equivalent to being able to carry nuclear bombs, it is part of the trinity nuclear strike.

Therefore, no nuclear power will sell this kind of strategic bomber.

Not to mention, the Tu-160 bomber is too advanced, at least so far, no bomber can surpass this.

Unless the B2 bomber and Lancer bomber of the United States are in service, the Tu-160 bomber is a perfect one.

And with this kind of bomber, it will make up for the shortcomings of China's strategic nuclear strike in the air, and let China instantly join the ranks of the Trinity nuclear strike powers. Also gritted his teeth and smiled.

In short, such a powerful killer was given to China in advance. If there is no money, then everyone will be afraid, thinking that there is some conspiracy in it.

Now that Cao Zhiqiang is willing to ask for money, it will make the domestic bigwigs feel more at ease, at least half of them.

As for the future, Cao Zhiqiang can wait for his body to become stronger, and invest the money in the form of overseas secret investment in the country. At that time, whether it is for construction or charity, it will be excellent.

This is the real wool from the sheep.

If I am not a patriot, then there are no real patriots!
