"Schmidt! So you're saying you don't need the Waves girl group anymore?"
"Yes! The Waves are the Waves, and these bands are these bands; they're not the same thing."
This foreigner has quite the appetite; he's planning to sleep with both men and women.
“We can lower the appearance fees for these bands, but the appearance fees for The Waves in Europe will have to be increased.”
After Hannah translated Liang Liang's words, Schmidt didn't reply for about ten seconds, probably because he was discussing it with someone.
After some haggling, the five bands currently touring Europe have finally received the same appearance fee as the Sea Waves.
That means if they go on a European tour next year, they will also receive a performance fee of one million yuan per show.
As the saying goes: fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, and turtles find their in-laws.
With a boss like Han Chui, almost all of his capable subordinates are just like him: thick-skinned, resilient, and persistent in getting things done.
After Han Chui took on the big land purchase deal with Haiyun Company, he sent out ten groups of his subordinates who would benefit from it.
These ten groups first went to several prefecture-level cities within the province.
After the central government relinquished power in 1996, local governments went through a period of confusion before discovering real estate as a way to get rich, and naturally they saw that selling land was the fastest way to make money.
Unfortunately, during this period, not only was the government confused, but the people were also bewildered. Many people had no idea that building and selling houses could make money, which led to a situation where no one dared to buy the land even when the government offered it.
Local governments are eager for you to buy it.
Therefore, Liang Liang faced no pressure whatsoever when he bought the land.
At that time, the gross land price in most cities was only four or five hundred to seven or eight hundred yuan per square meter.
Han Chui's men, as fierce as wolves and tigers, resolved the land issue in the prefecture-level city of Liaoning Province within two months, following Liang Liang's instructions.
They have now continued northward toward the provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin.
Kyrgyzstan has eight prefecture-level cities.
Considering the future population and economic situation in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, Liang Liang only chose to buy land in three cities: Changchun, Jilin, and Siping.
Similarly, he only bought land in four cities in Heilongjiang Province: Harbin, Qiqihar, Mudanjiang, and Jiamusi.
He plans to invest the remaining money in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the coastal areas of Shandong Province.
We'll buy these lands before the new year and start construction next year.
These projects are beyond the capabilities of Godfather Zhao Fang. If he can't handle them, then hire other construction teams to do the work.
Liang Liang wanted to talk to Zhao Fang on the phone, but after careful consideration, she decided to go to Landi City instead.
Because of his frequent appearances on the Spring Festival Gala, he hasn't been to Landi City for more than two years.
During the Lunar New Year, he would simply have his subordinates send over some gifts and offer New Year's greetings over the phone, and that would be it.
Liang Liang also wanted to see if her godfather had seized the opportunity in real estate development in the past two years.
Last year, I had a long discussion with him on the phone and gave him a lot of suggestions, but I don't know if he implemented them or not.
Huolong drove Liang Liang all the way to the entrance of Zhao Fang's company.
Zhao Fang had been waiting at the company entrance for quite some time.
"Godfather! Did you take care of the building project I mentioned to you last year?"
In Zhao Fang's office, Liang Liang sat down and immediately asked the question.
“I didn’t dare to do it on a large scale, so I bought 10,000 square meters and built a residential area according to your suggestion.”
Logically speaking, a 10,000-square-meter residential complex was not considered small in 1998.
How many people are left in your construction company?
Zhao Fang smiled: "What, you have another project?"
In addition to Zhao Fang's sizable construction company in Gaixue City, Pingshan Film and Television City, Liang Liang is also developing a residential community himself. He is worried that Zhao Fang will not have enough manpower.
"Starting next year, I plan to build no fewer than forty or fifty cinemas."
"How many? Why are you building so many movie theaters? Even the bay doesn't need that many movie theaters, does it?" Zhao Fang asked in surprise.
"There's only one Lianwan, the rest are in other places. There are eight or nine in the province, and the rest are in other provinces. Let me see if you can do it. If you can't, I'll find someone else."
"How about the money?"
Liang Liang is exhausted; her godfather is becoming more and more pragmatic.
Your godson is in the construction business, do you think he'd steal your money?
"Money is good money, of course."
"Then I'll take it."
"You took all those jobs? Can you handle them all?"
"If I can't handle it all, I still have friends."
"Godfather! You'd better get this straight. There's no room for child's play on the battlefield. If you delay the progress of my project, I'll deduct your pay."
"Of course, don't worry, it won't cause any delays."
He made a bold claim without even knowing what the construction blueprints looked like or how many cinemas there would be. It would be interesting to see him proven wrong later.
After signing the cinema construction contract with Zhao Fang, Liang Liang returned to Lianwan.
Xu Wei's album was released in July, and by August it had been a month since its release.
The sales in one month did not meet Liang Liang's expectations; the total sales of CDs and tapes were less than three million.
The album's final sales are estimated to be around five or six million, with a maximum of no more than six million.
This is less than a fraction of what Xu Wei earned from his debut album.
However, this is already the best-selling album from Haiyun Audio-Visual this year.
There are usually no major albums released in the first half of the year.
Haiyun Audio-Visual released quite a few albums in the first half of the year, but none of them were bestsellers.
Although Xu Wei's album did not sell as well as expected, it is still Haiyun's first hit album this year.
On August 12th, Blue Shark Band released their new album, "Proud Youth".
The company still has the courage to increase the shipment volume of Blue Shark's album.
The company placed an initial order for 10 million units.
The day after the album was released, they began rehearsing for their second love song album, which was to be released this year.
While rehearsing his love song album, Liang Liang made a major decision: he would not be performing on this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Two months of rehearsals were exhausting, and it also made it impossible to handle many things at the company.
This fall and winter, the company has many audio-visual products to launch, so he should stay home and oversee things instead of being a hands-off manager.
The Blue Shark band no longer needs to rely on the Spring Festival Gala to become famous, so it doesn't matter whether they appear on the Gala or not in the future.
The last reason is that he hasn't spent a proper Spring Festival at home for several years, so this year he doesn't plan to wander around aimlessly and will instead spend the New Year properly at home.
He has many excuses; he plans to feign illness and have another band replace him on the Spring Festival Gala.
The TV series "Meteor Garden" has created a ratings legend since its broadcast. Not only have TV stations in various provinces in China bought the broadcasting rights, but the rights have also been sold overseas.
This wasn't what made Liang Liang happiest. What made him happy was that almost all the actors who participated in the TV series became famous.
Not only are Flash Girls and the Glamorous Girls well-known, but those two boy groups have also produced star-level figures.
In any case, these boy and girl groups have finally become famous.
