Chapter 369 Colluding with Motorcycles
The Dongfanghong Xiao 12 tractor entered the pass from Shenzhen.
The main props finally arrived, and Xing Baohua and Director Xu went to check them out in person.
While you're at it, discuss with the bodywork technician at the 4S shop how to make the changes.
After being washed, the car looks to be in good condition.
The current solution is to remove the Dongfanghong logo and replace it with the words LZ-12P.
The traditional approach is to find an iron plate to enlarge the lettering and then repaint it to give it an aged look.
This method is not only cumbersome, but also requires custom molds, which are very expensive.
Xing Baohua noticed there was putty on it?
Have someone smooth the putty directly onto the three characters "Dongfanghong" (The East Is Red). Then, use your hands to shape the characters out of the putty.
Antique paint application.
It's just a one- or two-second shot, and it's being broadcast on TV, so who would care about the details?
Using your brain can save you a lot of money and time.
Anyway, it's a low-budget short film, so the requirements aren't high.
After setting a start date with Director Xu, Director Xu showed Xing Baohua some more materials.
Upon opening it, all you see are photos of girls and simple descriptions.
Xing Baohua felt like she was choosing a concubine.
It's just a customer service role, isn't it? It's not a blockbuster movie, why make it so complicated?
According to Director Xu, there are only three characters in the entire film.
With an award-winning actor and a stellar supporting actor, and the only female customer service representative in the film, only a top-tier supporting actress or award-winning actress could be paired with this cast.
The implication was that they hoped the only female lead in the film would have a more prominent role.
At this moment, Xing Baohua also found Hong Gu's photos and information.
Goodness! Not only do they have three or four more photos than others, but they're also bikini photos, lingerie photos, youth photos, fitness photos, and so on.
When did Cherie Chung become so open-minded?
If it were Baolian, Xing Baohua wouldn't find it strange.
This is Cherie Chung! If you put these photos in any magazine, they would sell out instantly.
"She contacted you?" Xing Baohua closed the file and asked Director Xu.
"These photos were sent by her agent. She also said she really wants to work with Mr. Xing," Director Xu said with a slight smile.
"Do you think she's suitable?" Xing Baohua asked in return.
"Perfect! Big brand, low price, you can't find that even with a lantern," Director Xu said, which was actually a veiled way of telling Xing Baohua, "You only invested so little! The total investment isn't even enough for one day's salary for the other actor."
Be content with what you have.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to agree. After all, Cherie Chung had become very popular in the past two years.
Given Xing Baohua's principle of "a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain," what more could he ask for than 20,000 H coins!
Let's settle on Cherie Chung then! She's doing this as a favor, and 20,000 might not even cover her travel expenses.
After the role of Hong Gu was cast, those who had been vying for the female role withdrew.
No matter her abilities, looks, or circumstances, she couldn't compete with Cherie Chung.
But everyone understands the importance of that role.
Hong Kong may be small, but Xing Baohua's cars are sold all over the world, and the advertisements also travel abroad with the cars.
Who appears on the screen in the commercial, even for just a few seconds.
The global exposure it received was immense.
With Director Xu's involvement in the filming, Xing Baohua also welcomed an old friend from the motorcycle world.
Xing Baohua personally went to the airport to greet them, and after shaking hands, they hugged.
Let's settle Henry in first, then we'll have a meal together.
We didn't rush to discuss official business.
The next day, in Xing Baohua's office.
Henry, accompanied by his assistant, then formally met with Xing Baohua.
Before this, Xing Baohua said that she was unable to return to China to be with Henry because of some of her own experiences.
I apologize for this.
Henry waved his hand and said it was fine, he could handle it himself anyway.
He was very satisfied with the joint venture factory.
Although only one workshop is in trial operation, seeing so many trained workers on standby at all times, one can't help but give a thumbs up.
First, produce two-way pagers, then produce analog machines.
This was also part of the previously planned scheme.
Motorcycle did not expect Xing Baohua to make such rapid progress.
The digital machine has been manufactured and is already in trial operation in Hong Kong.
This is why Henry came over to talk to Xing Baohua about the development of digital machines.
Motorola didn't want the effort of developing its own technology; instead, it opted to buy some of Xing Baohua's related technologies. Combined with production in a joint venture factory in mainland China, costs were reduced by more than half.
Before Apple rose to prominence, Motorola dominated the American market, specializing in the production of communication equipment.
That market is really big.
Going it alone is out of the question; Xing Baohua's main focus is on how to cooperate with motorcycle companies and how to make money.
Xing Baohua agreed to sell the technology, but motorcycles can't put their own logo on the equipment! This guy is applying double standards.
A rice logo must be added to the back of the phone.
Henry dared not make the decision on this matter; he needed to go back and discuss it with the group's leaders before he could decide.
Xing Baohua made a second request: he would forgo the patent fees and accept the profit-sharing arrangement as a partner.
For this to happen, the right to manage and use the satellite system must be granted to him.
The reason given was that it was for debugging the equipment used by the HK map.
Henry wouldn't dare give that thing away!
They refused immediately, saying that debugging was needed and that they should go to the Da Meizi National Satellite Laboratory, where a special port would be opened for Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua disagreed, saying that after going through so much trouble and effort, he wasn't even given the authority to conduct the experiment.
This won't do!
Alternatively, he could provide funding and collaborate with Motorcycles to establish a global satellite mapping laboratory.
