Not to mention, hearing Nozomi Sasaki say that, William Chen was really moved a little.
At present, the script named "Extreme Game", Chen William has only written less than one-third of the part. In his design, there are five protagonists in total. Of course, only one survived in the end, ready to collect the three kingdoms. Stars join.
In fact, this can also be said to be a TV series he prepared for several actresses around him, because then this series will not only be broadcast in Asia, but also broadcast worldwide through Netflix. If the "Squid Game" is so popular, the actresses participating in the show will have a great increase in popularity.
This kind of popularity is not limited to the Asian region, but worldwide. It's like after the fire of "Squid Game" in the previous life, the male and female protagonists have a large number of fans in Europe and the United States, and even the peripheral products of this TV series, such as the clothes inside, have blown a whirlwind of popularity.
Some people even created a variety show on YouTube based on the plot of this drama.
Next, William Chen told Nozomi Sasaki that he was going to marry Ivanta soon.
Hearing this news, Nozomi Sasaki's eyes widened, and he said with a little panic: "So William, are you leaving me?
"No, my dear, it's just that I think you have the right to know about this. But like I told you before, as long as you are willing to follow me, I will not let you go, I will always be responsible for you, It's just that I can't give you a name.
"I knew it for a long time, William, and I also knew that this day would come, but I didn't expect it so soon. But as long as you don't dislike me, I won't leave you. I want to be by your side all the time."
Nozomi Sasaki hugged William Chen tightly and whispered.
Feeling a little trembling in her body, Chen William took her into his arms: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side.
"William
"Um'
"I want a child of yours too
When William Chen came to Japan this time, in addition to learning about the development of Japan and meeting Nozomi Sasaki, he also had another purpose: Abex Group, William Chen took a fancy to their music department and wanted to acquire it.
Speaking of the Abex Group, many people may not know it, but if the name it once used, Aihui Records, many people may have heard of it.
When avex first entered the Chinese market, the company name was Aihui, but last year, it was changed to Abex, which is closer to the pronunciation of avex.
This company is the largest music company in Asia. Although it is not among the four giants in the global recording industry, it is a well-deserved giant in the Asian market, with a market value of as high as 770 billion yen, or about 6 billion US dollars.
Under the banner of Abex, there are many well-known singers in Japan. The most famous one is naturally Ayumi Hamasaki, and the rest are Namie Amuro, Kumi Koda, Hitomi Shimaya, Ami Suzuki, Hitomi Shimagu, etc. name.
At the same time, in the Chinese-speaking market, the company has also signed many well-known singers.
In recent years, because the record market has gradually slumped, and the ace singers under Abex are being attacked by newcomers, the company is transforming into a comprehensive entertainment company, and the emphasis on the music department, which was once the core department, has declined.
At present, the Abex Group is expanding in the direction of Internet entertainment, film and television and animation, and the proportion of the profit of the music department in the group has been decreasing.
However, due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the market value of Ibex Group has dropped from more than 6 billion US dollars at the peak to less than 3 billion US dollars.
And now is a good time for William Chen to acquire the music department of this company. He knows that within two years, the global entertainment industry will recover again, and the music market is also an important part of it. The valuation will skyrocket several times higher than it is now, so this is the best opportunity to buy these industries at the bottom.
But this kind of thing, if Chen William came directly, it would be too high-profile, and it would be easy for the other party to sell it. Therefore, this acquisition will be handled by the Japanese team together with Chen William.
This time, when I came to Japan, William Chen brought Erica and the casual think tank team she was in charge of. Now they are responsible for the acquisition of the music department of the Abex Group, which is also the first for this team. test.
William Chen and Nozomi Sasaki came to Ginza in Tokyo together. Located in the center of this place, there is a dazzling nine-story building that is blue as a whole, especially at night, dazzling.
This building, the Tiffany Building, a landmark building in Tokyo, was purchased by Goldman Sachs in 2008 for 38 billion yen, or nearly $380 million.
However, during the subprime mortgage crisis, Japanese real estate prices plummeted. At the same time, due to the depletion of domestic finance in the United States at the time, a large number of foreign investors, especially American capital, who came to Japan to invest, sold properties one after another, and the funds returned to save themselves.
Fortunately, Goldman Sachs has made a fortune in the Eurasian market. It is not that dangerous, but they also have the need to sell real estate in Japan.
So, now this building, which was carefully designed by the well-known Japanese designer Kengo Kuma, has become the property of William Chen. As a major shareholder of Goldman Sachs Group, he bought the building at a friendly price of 300 million US dollars, which can be regarded as helping Goldman Sachs solve a problem.
Of course, losses are inevitable, but at this time, Goldman Sachs is very satisfied to be able to sell the building at this price.
Later, the building will be renamed as hc fashion building, and at the same time hang the logo of Hermès, and become the location of the flagship store of Hermès in Tokyo.
In the future, when other brands of hc fashion company enter the Japanese market, they will also open brand stores here.
Interestingly, next to the hc fashion building, there is the Tokyo flagship store, and the shiny logo hangs on it. In the future, it will be very interesting for Hermes to confront the neighbors.
At this point, William Chen's purpose of coming to Tokyo has almost been completed. The work of the music department of the Abex Group will be handed over to the team who stayed here first.
Regarding the entertainment industry, Japan is worth investing in, and music is the easiest to cut into. Others are the film and television industry. The Japanese film market is different from other countries. Although the market is also relatively large, the most popular domestic films in Japan are Special film, which is completely different from other markets in the world, so the investment value is not large; and Japanese dramas have long passed the era when they were popular in Asia, and now their competitiveness in Asia is not as good as that of China.
Moreover, the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time. In this overseas market, there is no need to swallow the dates whole, and the management is too difficult. Now the first music market to enter is the Asian company that can be merged into EMI Music, which is the reason why he chose to acquire Aiwei Records first.
It is also worth mentioning that EMI Music has acquired Gold Medal Gale at a price of 25 million US dollars, and will merge this company into the Asian branch of EMI Music, which is to merge with the original Asian branch of Warner Music.
And EMI Music Asia Branch, EMI Music CEO Lucien Grange also found a ceo candidate for William Chen. Lankey was recruited from Universal Music. The other party used to be the vice president of Universal Music's Asian company. I don't know what method Lucian used to dig EMI.
If it can successfully acquire Aiwei Records, then this department will also be merged into EMI Asia, in this case, EMI Asia is a proper super giant in Asia, which also needs to test the ability of Mai Dequn Is it possible to integrate these three parts into the whole of EMI Asia?
When William Chen left Tokyo, he finally took Nozomi Sasaki and Erica on the Gulfstream G550.
The reason is that at noon the day before he left, he suddenly felt an obvious shaking in Tokyo. At that time, his first reaction was that he was in Japan, and it was an earthquake.
This was the first time William Chen had experienced an earthquake outside the eyes of the future, but fortunately, the tremor only lasted for a short time, and everything returned to normal.
When she saw Nozomi Sasaki, after a little panic at first, she quickly returned to normal. It seems that she has encountered this situation many times.
Soon, news came that at noon on June 13, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale occurred in the eastern waters of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. There are no reports of casualties or property damage.
Although Chen William knew that in his previous life, the earthquake that caused the Fukushima nuclear leak should be a magnitude 9 earthquake next year, but many things have changed in this world, and even the eruption of Mount Palu, which he has never heard of, will occur. , so he himself is not sure whether there will be another earthquake of higher magnitude in Japan immediately after.
Therefore, although Nozomi Sasaki comforted him that these were normal in Japan, he still insisted on leaving Tokyo with Nozomi Sasaki and Erica to China.
In addition, he also silently wrote it down in his heart, and then tried to let Nozomi Sasaki live elsewhere, especially next year.
Not to mention, hearing Nozomi Sasaki say that, William Chen was really moved a little.
At present, the script named "Extreme Game", Chen William has only written less than one-third of the part. In his design, there are five protagonists in total. Of course, only one survived in the end, ready to collect the three kingdoms. Stars join.
