Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 815 Cooperation with Sixth Uncle

As early as more than a year ago, Qin Haoran cooperated with Deng Yongxiang to open a record company. Since Deng Yongxiang accounted for 60.00% of the shares, and Deng Yongxiang was in charge of the company's daily operations, the name of this record company was "Deng Yongxiang". record company".

Since Deng Yongxiang was the leading superstar in the Cantonese opera circle in Hong Kong at this time, he had a strong appeal, so the company has a group of Cantonese opera stars and popular singers on the network.Deng Yongxiang followed Qin Haoran's suggestion, and did not let these Cantonese opera stars in the company sign a harsh "sell contract", but just bought out their record copyright.

That is to say, the contracted stars under Deng's record company can only record records in Deng's record company. As for these stars' appearances or Cantonese opera performances, they are not bound by Deng's record company.Deng Yongxiang's contracts with these stars range from five to ten years.

Because of relatively loose contract terms and Deng Yongxiang's appeal, the other two superstars in the Cantonese opera world, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, both signed to Deng's record company.

In addition to signing contracts with some popular stars themselves, Deng's record company also cultivated stars themselves under Qin Haoran's suggestion.Referring to the future model of those record companies making stars, Qin Haoran asked Deng Yongxiang to carefully select some young people with potential, and then used Deng Yongxiang's own influence in the Cantonese opera and film circles to give these young people the opportunity to appear in Cantonese opera or movies. When performing on stage, it is naturally some relatively small roles at first, and they arrange their own opportunities depending on their development.

And for those singers, Deng's record company will also arrange for them to appear on stage in different places and occasions, providing them with all the convenience to become stars.

With these suggestions from Qin Haoran, Tang Records achieved great success in Hong Kong where the record market has not really been developed, and became the number one record company in Hong Kong in less than a year.

Of course, Qin Haoran is really not interested in Deng's record company's [-]% dividend, so a little money is nothing compared to Qin Haoran's other businesses.

What Qin Haoran paid attention to was the star effect that stars such as Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian could create. In just one year, Deng Yongxiang, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian all became the image spokespersons of "Tianma Logistics", which made "Tianma Logistics" soaring in popularity. All citizens in Hong Kong know about "Tianma Logistics" because of these three superstars, which also greatly increased the popularity and business volume of "Tianma Logistics".

Next, Deng Yongxiang, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian will also become the image spokespersons of "New World International Hotel" and "Tangsheng International" supermarkets, in order to make "New World International Hotel" and "Tangsheng International" supermarkets more popular in the shortest possible time. "The name of the title was typed out.

In today's Hong Kong, even superstars like Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, their main source of income is only the remuneration for performing on stage, or the remuneration for starring in movies.Because the marketing method of using celebrities to promote and sell advertisements has not yet emerged, there is no advertising remuneration or endorsement fees for this celebrity.

Qin Haoran's celebrity endorsement brought them another excellent source of income.

As for the acquaintance between Deng Yongxiang and Shao Yitu, of course it originated from movies. In order to cater to the market in Hong Kong, the movies of "Shaw Brothers" also focused on Cantonese opera at the beginning. Therefore, Deng Yongxiang, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian These Cantonese opera masters were invited to make movies as a matter of course.

The films they starred in are not low in artistic level, and they are also excellent box office guarantees, bringing "Shaw Brothers" a lot of money.

And Deng Yongxiang himself is also the owner of several movie theaters, and now he is the owner of the largest record company in Hong Kong. Shao Yitu dare not underestimate him even more.What's more, it was Shao Yitu who got to know Qin Haoran now through Deng Yongxiang.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Christon Swell, the general manager of Swire Shipping and the trusted vice president of Cathay Pacific Airways." Qin Haoran smiled at Shao Yitu and Deng Yongxiang.

Christon also smiled and nodded at the few people reservedly, as a greeting.

Shao Yitu and Deng Yongxiang were taken aback. As businessmen, they certainly knew about Swire Group.Although Qin Haoran is the most popular top rich man recently, when it comes to his background in the Hong Kong business circle, he is not as good as the four consortiums of Jardine Matheson, Swire, Wheelock and Standard Chartered.

The largest business of Swire Group in Hong Kong today is shipping, including sea shipping and air shipping.Swire Shipping is still the No. [-] shipping company in Hong Kong. Although Baoyu Port's "Global International" has caught up, its strength is still comparable to Swire Shipping. It will take a while to completely surpass Swire Shipping .

Cathay Pacific Airways is also the largest airline in Hong Kong, and its routes cover various countries around the world.

The Swire family is the major shareholder of the Swire Group. Although the parent company of the Swire Group is in London, England, their sex business is still in Asia. Therefore, the Swire Group has used Hong Kong as its base a long time ago.And with Christon's development in the past two or three years, his position in the Swell family has become more and more important, as can be seen when he recently became the vice president of Cathay Pacific.

In Hong Kong now, the strongest economically is the British consortium, and the holders of the British consortia, Jardine and Swell, have become the most famous wealthy families in Hong Kong.Doing business here in Hong Kong, although they can't get in touch, almost all businessmen know these families.

It's no wonder that Shao Yitu and Deng Yongxiang were so surprised after Qin Haoran introduced Christon, but the appearance of a noble son that Christon showed now made Qin Haoran secretly laugh.

"Mr. Christon, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's really an honor." Shao Yitu said in fluent English.

But Christon said in authentic Cantonese: "I am also very glad to meet you, Mr. Shao Yitu."

Hearing Christon answering himself in Cantonese, Shao Yitu was a little embarrassed, because he just spoke English to Christon in front of Deng Yongxiang, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian who didn't understand English, but he was suspected of showing off.

Deng Yongxiang and the others were surprised to hear that Christon knew Cantonese and spoke it so fluently.

After Qin Haoran sat down with Christon, Christon laughed and said, "I heard that Haoran is going to meet with 'Xin Ma Shizeng' today, so I came here specially, because I am very interested in 'Xin Ma Shizeng'. Zeng has also admired him for a long time. But I didn't expect to see two big stars, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, here, which is really surprising."

"Mr. Christon, you also know us?" Bai Xuexian asked in surprise.

"Of course, speaking of which, I'm also your fan." Christon smiled.

When talking about this, there was a gloomy look in Christon's eyes.Qin Haoran keenly grasped this point, and guessed that maybe Christon's late lover was also a fan of Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, and Christon might have accompanied her to see Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian's performances.

Of course, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian didn't know about this level. They only thought that Christon, an Englishman, also liked to watch his performance, so they felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Shao Yitu who was beside him also interjected, and said with a smile: "It seems that Christon has a lot of research on Cantonese opera, so I wonder if Mr. Christon has watched our "Shaw Brothers" movie? Many of them are starred by Brother Xiang, Jianhui and Xuexian."

"Hehehe, after all, movies are still not as atmospheric as live performances." Christon said lightly.

His words immediately resonated with the three of Deng Yongxiang. Although Deng Yongxiang also runs a movie theater, he, Ren Jianhui and others feel that movies will sooner or later replace Cantonese opera and become mainstream entertainment for the masses, so they are still somewhat repulsed by movies. I have also participated in the movie.

Shao Yitu was suffocated by Christon's words, and Christon laughed again: "However, movies will eventually become the mainstream form of entertainment for the public, and the potential for development is still very large. And Mr. Shao, your 'Shaw Brothers' Brothers Film Company is the largest film company in Hong Kong now, and its development momentum is very good, but it has a bright future."

Hearing the words of the top noble son Christon, Shao Yitu's mood immediately improved, with a bright smile on his face, he said again and again: "Mr. Christon, you are too proud."

Qin Haoran saw that Shao Yitu's mood was being led by Christon's nose, and he also admired this guy's methods.Also, how could Christon be an easy character to be the most competitive succession candidate in the Swell family.

"Okay, let's get back to business." Christon smiled and said, "We are here today to discuss the art performance on the opening day of the 'New World Tower'."

Qin Haoran glared at Christon, because Christon said so, making it seem like he was the master.

Deng Yongxiang said to Qin Haoran: "Haoran, when the time comes, all the singers under our Deng family will be present, so you can rest assured."

Qin Haoran nodded, and then asked Shao Yitu: "Mr. Shao, I know that there are many movie stars under your 'Shaw Brothers', I would like to invite them to attend the opening performance of our 'New World Tower', I don't know What do you think?"

"I can't wish for it." Shao Yitu said quickly, and this was his sincere words. There is no need to question Qin Haoran's strength, especially the kind of image spokesperson Qin Haoran launched, which made Shao Yitu very excited.
