However, a piece of news that he saw occasionally made his face turn cold instantly.
"Hey, Li Wenlong, what do you mean? My money stinks. Why don't you come to me when you have a shortfall?" Zhang Wen called Li Wenlong and scolded him in a bad tone as soon as the call was connected.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, Brother Zhang, Boss Zhang, you can't blame me for this. The higher-ups said that you've donated enough and we can't ask you for more." Li Wenlong explained aggrievedly.
"Don't give me that. Tell me, how much do you still need?" Zhang Wen ignored his complaints and asked directly.
"Ahem~~~~, we're still short of 8 million. But it doesn't matter. People across the country are enthusiastic about donating now, so there will be no problem in getting the full amount." Li Wenlong said anxiously after a dry cough.
"Okay, I'll donate 10 billion, and the rest will be used as bonuses for the athletes," Zhang Wen said without hesitation.
"Ah? Brother Wen... no... Master Wen, it's too... too... much." This amount of money shocked Li Wenlong so much that he stuttered.
"Do you want it or not? If not, I won't provide you with any advanced weapons and equipment in the future. I've been contacting an aircraft carrier recently." Zhang Wen threatened.
"You are... cruel. I will contact the higher-ups." Li Wenlong said helplessly.
Chapter 394 Album Sales
The aircraft carrier that Zhang Wen talked about is indeed a true story.
But it is not the aircraft carrier that is ready to be purchased, but in space.
It took him a whole year to find it in the vast ocean.
Although the aircraft carrier is very large, the ocean is even larger. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, he does not have time to stay in the space all the time. He only takes the time to go in and look for it occasionally.
He destroyed several helicopters before he finally found it in the waters east of Wandao.
Fortunately, it is still within the control range. If it was farther away, I would really not be able to find it.
What was found was the first ship of the original time and space, as well as its escorting fleet and the carrier-based aircraft on it.
As for how to send it out, he no longer had any concerns.
Through these gift-giving events, the country probably realized the magic of Zhang Wen.
Now he is just waiting for the right opportunity to take out the fleet and send it out.
Whether you can afford it or not is another matter.
After ten years of reform and opening up, there have been many ups and downs in the process. Fortunately, with Zhang Wen's advice and suggestions, we have avoided some detours.
But if you say that China has become rich, that’s not the case yet.
There is definitely an increase in the overall national strength.
Foreign exchange reserves have also reached nearly 500 billion US dollars, ranking third in the world.
But is it a bit too hasty to maintain an aircraft carrier fleet?
It would be bad if it drags down the national economy again.
However, the country cannot afford it, but Zhang Wen can.
Zhang Wen's current annual income is at least 50 billion US dollars, and it is increasing year by year. It is no problem for him to maintain an aircraft carrier fleet. 10 billion US dollars a year should be enough.
Although it may sound a bit like forcing things to happen, the benefits of a strong country are obvious.
However, after comprehensive consideration, he decided that it would be better to wait until the Soviet Union disintegrated, the United States sent troops to the Middle East, and the world situation became chaotic before taking it out.
In 89, after Jackie Chan and Jet Li moved to Ho Li Wood, Zou Yun-fat filled the Hong Kong box office market.
"Tiger on the Beat", "A Lang's Story", "Prison on Fire", "A World away with Me", "My Days in the Gangs", etc., are all movies that have achieved great success in both box office and word of mouth.
He won the Asian Film Actor Award in January without any suspense. This is the second time he has won this honor.
This made Zou Runfa also consider going to Helihuo.
Zhang Wen did not refuse, but he is still looking for a specific film to act in.
Movies like "The Replacement Killers" and "Bulletproof Monk" are definitely not suitable for him, and they would be criticized if they were made.
In addition to Zou Runfa, Zou Xingchi and Andy Lau are still very productive and are also a guarantee of the box office for Hong Kong films.
Zou Xingchi's "Fight Back to School" won the annual championship with 4400 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although Days of Being Wild, a collaboration between Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung, did averagely well at the Hong Kong box office, it caused a viewing craze in Japan and South Korea.
His other work, "A Moment of Romance", even introduced the motorcycle gang organization of various countries.
This made the kind-hearted Liu Dehua feel a little guilty, and he said that he had taught the child bad things.
The dominance of Brothers Television and its satellite companies in Hong Kong has been further consolidated. All of their stars are extremely busy, and sometimes they have to film four or five dramas.
But for the sake of money, they all enjoy it.
Hong Kong's current horrific box office performance has prompted more film and television companies to open, and many of them are involved in organized crime.
Especially the staff of Xinji, there are not only people from the Xiang family, but also another gang leader nicknamed Mad Dog who also opened a film and television company.
Several big bosses from the Number Gang also set up new companies.
According to Zhang Wen's information, there are as many as six film and television companies opened by various social groups, and there are even more who own shares or hide behind them.
But 80% of Hong Kong's popular stars are under Brothers Film and Television, and everyone knows who Zhang Wen is.
When these gang leaders come to hire people, they politely hand over the script and then negotiate the remuneration. No one dares to act rashly.
The title of deputy leader of the Hongmen can be said to mean that he is the leader of all the social organizations in Hong Kong.
After all, except for those newly established gangs or foreign gangs, all the societies in Hong Kong now respect the Hongmen as their leader.
Before the Spring Festival holiday, Zhang Wen donated 10 billion yuan, and the operating funds for the Asian Games were finally raised.
At Zhang Wen's strong request, the organizing committee did not publish his name.
At first, Li Wenlong was afraid that Zhang Wen was short of funds and tried to dissuade him in person. However, when he saw the sales of Zhang Wen's "WEN" album released in Europe and the United States, he completely shut up.
A rock album that costs $30.
In less than a year, more than 2000 million copies were sold.
$6 million in revenue.
Converted into nearly 18 billion human beings, even if various expenses are deducted, there will be no problem in reaching 10 billion human beings.
What Zhang Wen donated was just the income from an album, which made Li Wenlong's three views collapse.
After passing this news up, China’s top leaders were speechless.
It turns out that there really are super geniuses in this world. He only sang 6 songs, but the money he earned was enough to host a world-class competition. How does this make sense?
They struggled to issue lottery tickets, call on the public to donate, and get hosting funds from the organizing committee. Thousands of people worked tirelessly for several years to raise 10 billion yuan, but it is still not as much as the output of one person's album.
It can't be said that their world views have been completely destroyed, but it has allowed China's top leaders to see the huge pie of the cultural and entertainment industry.
As for why Zhang Wen’s album achieved such great success.
The quality of the album is excellent, that's for sure, all the songs are classic and very popular.
Another point is the recommendation from Michael, who is now a superstar. Not only did he recommend it, Michael told everyone he met that he is a fan of WEN.
Under his influence, singers and celebrities in Europe and the United States saw WEN's top-notch songwriting ability, and in order to make friends with Zhang Wen, they all sent words of praise.
In Blockbuster, the largest disc rental and sales outlet in North America, songs from WEN's albums are played in rotation all day long.
With such repeated bombardment, it is hard for the album sales not to explode.
And the sales volume of 2000 million is definitely not the final sales volume.
It’s been almost a year, and now we still have sales of nearly a million copies per month.
The final sales volume is expected to be around 4000 million copies, which is 12 billion US dollars. Except for Michael's sales volume of hundreds of millions, no one else can reach that level.
Chapter 395 Meixin Island
"Woooooo~~~~"
After three long whistle sounds, the new Titanic, which had just been delivered by the Shanghai Shipyard, slowly sailed away from the Hong Kong River dock.
This giant ship was specially customized for the filming of "Titanic". It is 270 meters long, 29 meters wide, has a displacement of 50000 tons and a draft of 10.5 meters.
The exterior is basically the same as the old Titanic, and the interior decoration is also roughly the same as that of the old Titanic.
However, there is no lack of modern elements inside. Various electronic facilities are temporarily in hidden mode and will be restored once the filming is completed.
But for this maiden voyage, all of them were revealed.
The new steam turbine can give it a speed of 22 knots.
Guest rooms of different grades can provide services to 1800 travelers at the same time, with up to 180 service staff, achieving a service ratio of 1:10.
The ship also provides catering services at the Wen Kee Hotel, which has been rated three Michelin stars.
The extra-large swimming pool at the bow can accommodate hundreds of passengers.
What’s even more unique is that the slide connecting the swimming pool from the top flying bridge is the most popular amusement ride on the ship.
The fishing platform at the stern is a favorite of middle-aged and elderly people.
When the boat is moored, you can also open the hatch on one side of the hull and enter the inflatable castle set up on the sea to play.
There is a liftable motorboat 607 platform hidden underneath, with more than ten motorboats available for tourists to surf on the sea.
There will be many performances on the bow platform in the evening, full of romantic atmosphere, which is very suitable for a honeymoon trip.
This series of top-level services comes at a high price.
When the actual operation begins, the trip will depart from the Xiangjiang Pier every Friday night and return early on Monday morning. The fare for each person for the two-day and three-night trip is HK$998.
Of course, this maiden flight was entirely a benefit Zhang Wen gave to his employees. The 1800 passengers included middle and senior management staff of his companies.
There are also employees who won prizes in a raffle at the annual meeting. The seven-day trip will definitely give them a great time.
The original itinerary was to circle the Hong Kong River, Macau River and the high seas and then return.
But of course our own employees have to visit the current Nanhai.
Fresh seafood that is caught and eaten right away is a rare delicacy.
In this sea area, of course, there is Zhang Wen’s super luxurious yacht and the Oriental Princess, which are where his celebrity artists gather.
This time we arrived not at Huangyan Island, but at Meixin Island.
A large circular island in the shape of a heart, on which a large number of villa-type buildings have been built (bbff).
After eight months of reclamation and construction, Meixin Island is now the largest island in the South China Sea, 8 kilometers from east to west, 9 kilometers from north to south, and with a permanent land area of about 6 square kilometers.
The lagoon within the atoll covers an area of about 36 square kilometers and has a water depth of 20 to 30 meters.
Meixin Island is a rare large natural sheltered harbor in the South China Sea. The lagoon in the middle is the largest and most complete lagoon in the South China Sea and is a natural large-scale fishery breeding base.
Those villa-style buildings are not only staff dormitories on the island, but also villa-style hotels open to the public.
All kinds of seafood raised in the lagoon are top-quality ingredients provided to Wen Kee Hotel and Hilton Hotel.
With the increase in production, Wen Ji Hotel will have the capital to expand.
Mei Xin Island also has an airport and a helicopter pad, which is the airport jointly used by Zhang Wen and the military.
On the west side is the berthing base for China's fishery patrol ships, which also provides supplies for passing ships.
The various trees planted on the island have begun to take shape. Some of the tropical cash crops will add some tropical fruit specialties to the island in the future.
The annual temperature here is 27 degrees, and the maximum temperature difference is only 2 degrees.
Except for the brighter light, everything else is perfect.
The Middle Lagoon is not only the best place for fish farming, but also the best place for diving.
Wandering in the clear sea water, surrounded by all kinds of colorful fish swimming around, you can make yourself pregnant with just the sight of them.
After word of mouth last year, this year's number of visitors is the most complete ever.
There were quite a few people who came with their families.
Led by Zhang Wen, a yacht enthusiast, Wang Jin, Jacky Cheung, Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Zou Runfa, Zou Xingchi and others also own their own yachts.
The sizes, prices and functions are different, but they are enough for accompanying the family out for fun.
They are all members of the yacht club organized by Zhang Wen.
This time, not only their yacht came, but also other wealthy people from Hong Kong were present in the yacht club. At Zhang Wen’s invitation, they all came to Maxim’s Island.
"Mr. Zhang, seeing is believing. What you have done here is much bigger than that in Hong Kong." Fourth uncle Li Zhaoji said with emotion while standing on the flying bridge of Zhang Wen's yacht, looking at the Mei Xin Island in front of him.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, don't forget me if there are any good projects in the future." Sir He said directly.
