Chapter 2236: Future International Entertainment

Hearing Guan Shengjie's lips parted slightly, his throat moved, but in the end, he couldn't spit out a single word. He secretly sighed in his heart that it was a great stroke of luck for him to meet Zhou Andong in this life.

And this luck didn't just belong to him; the entire Yugong Group, and even those tens of thousands of employees, probably felt the same way as he did at this moment.

Zhou Andong gently pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then leaned back, stretched his legs comfortably, and struck the classic "Ge You slouch" pose.

"Because the price difference between wholesale and retail of finished oil is large and the profit is extremely rich, as early as before 1989, many companies had already entered the gas station industry."

"There are state-owned enterprises, township tertiary industries, and even some foreign companies that are not lagging behind, building gas stations in major cities one after another."

"And the year before last, in 1992, the domestic gasoline retail market began to be experimentally opened, and after the dual-track system for finished oil prices was implemented, the number of gas stations grew rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

"By now, we are planning to enter this field. To be honest, it's a bit late. However, we have a capital advantage. As long as our actions are fast enough and we firmly grasp the opportunity to cut in quickly, we can still seize the opportunity and occupy the commanding heights."

"So, you can consider it, but don't consider it for too long. Because for us at the moment, time is truly equivalent to money."

Mentioning gas stations, Zhou Andong thought of Wu Chao and the others. They went to the Middle East and hadn't had any news, and he didn't know how the situation was.

If they could really successfully obtain oil well resources, then one could imagine that the value contained in the gas stations he invested in would be immeasurable.

In the future, whether it's PetroChina, CNOOC, or Sinopec, which wouldn't be established until 1998, once he firmly controlled the oil wells and widely distributed gas stations in his hands, when the three oil giants were restructured in the future, he would definitely be able to successfully get involved and get a share. At that time, Hearing Guan Shengjie could even be a director in these three oil giants.

But then again, the prerequisite for all these beautiful visions to be realized is that he must ensure that he can successfully get oil wells in the Middle East. If he cannot achieve this goal, then these various assumptions can only be reduced to empty talk.

However, taking a step back, even if Wu Chao and the others failed and didn't get oil wells in the Middle East, as long as he got more land and built more gas stations, it would be enough to make Hearing Guan Shengjie a wealthy person. As for more and higher-level extravagant hopes, don't think about it.

Hearing Guan Shengjie took a hard puff of his cigarette and then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Wait until we come back from Arong Banner, and I'll give you an answer."

"No problem."

Just as Zhou Andong's words fell, Sister Liu's figure appeared at the entrance of the reception hall again: "Chairman, the food you ordered at Jinwan Hotel has been delivered."

Immediately after, Jiang Yuyue, Ma Xiaotong, and Huang Jiamin appeared behind Sister Liu. The three women didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all, walked directly into the room, and began to curiously look at the reception hall.

"Sister Liu, bring some iced drinks over." Zhou Andong stood up and ordered, then looked at the three women with a smile: "How is it? My place is not bad, right?"

Huang Jiamin said with great emotion: "It's more than not bad. To tell you the truth, although my family is just ordinary, I have also seen luxurious mansions worth over ten million."

"But even so, compared to yours, I actually prefer the unique decoration style and atmosphere of your home."

Zhou Andong let the three sit down, and then introduced them to Hearing Guan Shengjie.

As for Hearing Guan Shengjie, as long as someone pays a little attention to national affairs, no one doesn't know this name.

Jiang Yuyue and Ma Xiaotong naturally heard of it, and as for Huang Jiamin, she hadn't heard of Hearing Guan Shengjie's name, but she knew the People's Daily.

The chief reporter of the People's Daily is absolutely a god-like existence, not to mention that he is Zhou Andong's guest, so the three were very polite to Hearing Guan Shengjie.

And Hearing Guan Shengjie, he was familiar with Jiang Yuyue, after all, he often saw her on TV, and her songs were playing all over the streets, and he could hear them wherever he went.

Also, this was Zhou Andong's former sister-in-law, he had known about it for a long time. And Ma Xiaotong and Huang Jiamin, one was the princess of the Ma family, and one was Jiang Yuyue's manager, and now both were shareholders of Future Culture, he was naturally polite too.

At this time, Sister Liu brought the iced Very Cola and iced black tea and put them on the coffee table.

Zhou Andong unscrewed the iced black tea and put it in front of the three women: "Why did you come suddenly?"

The weather outside was too hot. Jiang Yuyue picked up the iced black tea and took a sip. A cool air flowed down her throat into her stomach, making her feel refreshed all over.

"You, Chairman Zhou, have a daughter, if we workers don't come to congratulate you, what if you give us small shoes to wear?"

Zhou Andong was very surprised. It was not surprising that Hearing Guan Shengjie and Du Youwei knew about this, because his friendship with Gu Bing was there, and Gu Banjin couldn't not notify him.

But Jiang Yuyue and the others also knew, which made him a bit strange: "I didn't notify anyone about this, how did you know?"

Ma Xiaotong said with a smile: "Yesterday afternoon, I ran into President Zhang near the company. He was holding two boxes of rice in his hand and told me that the rice box in his hand was high-tech, and it could boil water and heat the food without fire."

"He bragged to me for a long time, but I didn't believe it at all. I saw that rice box, and besides being a bit exquisite, there was nothing special about it, how could it heat food without fire."

"Later, he demonstrated it to me personally, and I believed it. It was really too magical. Then, he told me that the self-heating rice box was developed by you, and also told me that Sister Qiu gave birth, and it was a girl."

"So that's it!" Zhou Andong nodded suddenly: "I'll go find you at the company in two days."

"Something up?" Jiang Yuyue tilted her head and asked.

"Something!" Zhou Andong pondered for a while and said: "How much do you know about Xie Jin, the little girl who sang 'Shuochang Lianpu'?"

Everyone is in the entertainment industry, and Jiang Yuyue and the others are the top existence in the entertainment industry, and they are also running a company. No matter when, as long as a big hit song appears in the market, they will arrange for people to collect singer information.

"I know!" Jiang Yuyue nodded: "She participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala and asked me for an autograph. Only, she seems to have encountered trouble now."

"Right!" Zhou Andong picked up the Very Cola and took a sip: "Her voice is very recognizable. Now the domestic pop music scene has just sprouted, and it also needs such a voice."

"I feel that this little girl is very worth cultivating. She has encountered trouble now, arrange for someone to understand the situation, and help if you can."

"The person who was slapped by her, if it's just an ordinary staff member, apologize if you should, and compensate if you should. As for the problem with the sound equipment, if there is really something fishy, investigate it later."

"If the person who was hit is really a senior executive of an entertainment company, then investigate for me. A man, and a senior executive of an entertainment company, I don't believe there is no black material. After finding it, hand it over to reporters for exposure, and make the matter big..."

Huang Jiamin hesitated and said: "Chairman Zhou, the matter behind this involves Warner. If it's really made big, Warner can't just sit by and watch."

Zhou Andong laughed: "If the matter behind this is not Warner, I wouldn't let you make it big."

Everyone didn't understand, including Hearing Guan Shengjie, who was a spectator. What kind of moth is this guy going to make again?

However, although they couldn't understand, they knew Zhou Andong very well, with this guy's cunning degree.

No matter how much he likes that little girl named Xie Jin, it's impossible for him to recruit a powerful enemy for himself for her sake.

Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, pulled one out gently, and lit it with a lighter. As the flame flickered, a wisp of blue smoke curled up. He took a deep breath, spat out the smoke slowly, and then spoke unhurriedly and lightly.

"It won't be long before Sony Music Entertainment, that is, Sony Records and Sony Pictures, will be surnamed Zhou."

As soon as the words fell, the whole room seemed to have been pressed the pause button, falling into a dead silence. However, just a few seconds later, the first one to come back to her senses was Ma Xiaotong.

This little head seemed to have a spring under her butt, she stood up with a "swoosh," her face full of disbelief but also unable to hide her excitement, her voice trembling slightly because she was too excited.

"Ah? Really... really? Did you really take down Sony Records and Sony Pictures?"

Immediately after, Jiang Yuyue and Huang Jiamin sitting on the side finally reacted as if waking up from a dream. The two looked at each other, and both of their eyes revealed an excitement that could not be hidden.

They also stared at Zhou Andong tightly, wanting to find more affirmative answers from his calm face, waiting for his confirmation.

"Really!" Zhou Andong nodded very calmly: "According to my estimation, before mid-August, this matter will be settled. At that time, I will start to form Future International Entertainment Company."

"However, in order to prevent unnecessary public opinion panic and turmoil within the company, there will not be too many personnel changes in the management of Sony Music Entertainment. The basic pattern of the existing record production and film and television development business segments will also remain unchanged. The only change will be the name of the company."

"And the Beijing branch of Future International Entertainment will merge with Future Culture. Specifically, you will occupy 51% of the shares, Future International Entertainment will hold the remaining 49% of the equity, and all domestic businesses will be fully responsible by you."

"Great!"

Ma Xiaotong raised her fist excitedly and waved it hard in the air, as if wanting to release the joy in her heart through this method.

Huang Jiamin was also unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, holding her hands tightly. And Jiang Yuyue, at this time, was also unable to hide her excitement, her eyes shining incomparably bright.

Although Future Culture only cooperates with the Beijing branch of Sony Records, the general company cannot not give support when company artists develop overseas or records are released overseas.

Especially Jiang Yuyue, with her special relationship with Zhou Andong, in the future, various high-quality resources of Future International will definitely be poured into this girl's body continuously and without reservation.

Huang Jiamin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement that was about to be uncontrollable in her heart. At this moment, she finally understood why Zhou Andong went to provoke Warner.

Zhou Andong picked up the ashtray, placed it gently on his thigh, smoked leisurely, and then swept his eyes over the three women: "How is it? Now you should all understand why I went to provoke Warner."

Huang Jiamin nodded hurriedly: "Understood, taking the opportunity to create momentum for Future International Entertainment."

"Exactly!" Zhou Andong laughed: "So, once you investigate the black material of that executive who was slapped, just make up a story, saying it was because he had ulterior motives for the little girl Xie Jin, so the little girl angrily slapped him."

"And Warner, as the little girl's signing company, not only didn't uphold justice for her, but also suppressed Xie Jin in order to protect that beastly executive."

"The reason why the little girl suffered such unfair treatment and persecution was just because she was a Chinese with yellow skin and black eyes. You don't have any concerns, just splash dirty water on Warner for me."

"Don't be afraid to make it big. The bigger the matter, the better. And it's not just domestic, as long as it's the Chinese cultural circle, I will throw money to stir up public opinion."

"As for internationally, that has to be asked to the current President of Sony Music Entertainment, Mr. Tony Yevnikov. He will serve as the President of Future International Entertainment in the future, and he will say how to do it."

"After all, that foreigner really has two brushes. Sony could keep him, the former President of Columbia, to continue to serve as the President of Sony Music Entertainment. Besides stabilizing the company, the bigger reason is actually ability."

"And Zhou Andong invited that foreigner to continue to serve as the President of Future International. Besides ability and stabilizing the company, there was one more important reason than Sony, and that is the international market."

"Because he is Chinese, if he acquired Sony Music Entertainment, he would know without thinking that he would be suppressed by certain forces. But if Tony Yevnikov serves as the President of Future International, no problems will exist."

"As for whether that foreigner will agree to serve as the President of Future International Entertainment, this doesn't need to be asked at all. Is there anything in this world that money can't do?"

"Sony gave him how much, Zhou Andong will give him more, and then this guy will really become a three-dynasty veteran."

Zhou Andong looked at the three women and continued: "Now the little girl Xie Jin is entangled in lawsuits, she is the most in need of help at this time, you immediately arrange for people to contact her, understand the situation, hire a lawyer to help the little girl fight the lawsuit, and then sign her up with great fanfare."

Ma Xiaotong nodded: "I will arrange it after I go back, and I will definitely handle this matter well."

Zhou Andong flicked the cigarette ash and put the ashtray on the coffee table: "I wrote a sketch, mainly to promote Jiang Xiaobai and Yugong Wine. I'll go get the manuscript, and you are responsible for contacting the sketch actors to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala." ===== CHAPTER 2237 =====
