Su Yourong shrugged, straightened her clothes, and stared at Lu Feng, saying, "I'm going to play you. The more unattainable you are, the more I want to play with you. We'll see. Give me an answer within a week, or I'll have to talk to your wife."
Su Yourong swayed away, leaving Lu Feng with her back turned. Lu Feng didn't even look at her back; his gaze was fixed on her swaying hips. What can you do? He's a man, after all.
The door opened, and Li Fang walked in. As a woman, she could clearly see that Lu Feng's face was flushed and his breathing was somewhat heavy.
“Mr. Lu, everything has been arranged with Sun Hung Kai Properties. They said we can head to Las Vegas tomorrow,” Li Fang said. “Sister Wu had other things to do today and couldn’t come.”
“She’s done here. Tell her to settle the bill back on the mainland since she’s leaving tomorrow…” Lu Feng thought for a moment and decided to meet with President Du. Jointly establishing an entertainment company was a very promising venture. He said, “Call President Du tonight and tell him we can have dinner together.”
As the sun sets, golden sunlight spills across the sea, revealing distant beaches and coconut trees. Lu Feng stands on the observation deck, hands in his pockets, chewing gum, quietly watching everything unfold.
Today is the last day of 1992, and tomorrow will be 1993. Across the sea is Shenzhen, where the electronics conference is being prepared in full swing. Many companies have expanded this year, but Lu Feng is still the most noteworthy.
In just one month, the small appliance market has suddenly taken off, with year-end promotions in full swing, almost driving TV manufacturers like Panda and Changhong to a standstill.
Under the starry sky, a sirloin steak was laid out on a table covered with a white tablecloth, and red wine in stemmed glasses looked very high-end. Lu Feng took a bite of the beef and looked at President Du across from him, saying, "President Du, what do you think?"
"Excellent, very tender, I think it's better than a Michelin-starred restaurant!" General Manager Du praised, then asked, "General Manager Lu, you've successfully secured funding, are you going back now?"
"No rush, let's take a stroll around the casino. Since we're here, let's have some fun." Lu Feng didn't want to talk much about financing; shady dealings couldn't be done in the open, so he shifted the topic to the entertainment industry, asking, "Mr. Du, do you know anything about the entertainment industry in mainland China?"
"I know a little about them. The Four Heavenly Kings have held concerts in some cities, and they still have some spending power in first-tier cities. I don't know much about the others."
"What do you think of the mainland film market?" Lu Feng asked.
"Piracy is rampant." Mr. Du smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not even talk about pirated videotapes. As far as I know, there aren't many cinemas in mainland China. Most of them are video arcades. Our main export destination for copyrights is Southeast Asia. We get a portion from box office revenue and a portion from copyright licensing."
Lu Feng nodded, agreeing with what he said, and said, "Then what do you think about starting a film and television company with me?"
"A film and television company?" President Du became interested and said, "How about Bufeng Electronics invests in me? I can give you a discount."
Lu Feng was amused by his comment that the financing was being offered to him. He said, "Here's what I mean. Jiafeng Electronics will invest five million, and I'll provide the script and decide who will act in it..."
“Mr. Lu, you still underestimate the screenwriting profession.” Mr. Du couldn’t help but interrupt Lu Feng, saying, “Let’s leave professional matters to professionals.”
"Listen to me. I'll write the script, I'll cast the actors. If we make money, we'll split it 50/50. If we lose money, I'll make up for whatever we lose." Lu Feng stared at him and said, "What do you think?"
Is this for real?
Mr. Du wondered if Lu Feng had drunk too much, since this was practically handing him money.
"You mean you'll put up five million, take a 50% stake, and Starry Sky Media will cover all the filming costs. If we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50, and if we lose, you'll cover the losses, right?" President Du felt like he'd misheard, because anyone with a brain wouldn't agree to such a deal.
Lu Feng nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, there's one more condition: all the copyrights your company owns in mainland China belong to me!"
Mr. Du thought to himself, copyrights in mainland China aren't worth much anyway, and piracy is rampant everywhere. This small deal is a sure-fire way to make money, it's a huge win! He quickly agreed, picked up his glass, and stood up, saying, "I'll toast you! Want to go to Las Vegas with some actresses? I happen to have a few who aren't filming right now, they're all A-list!"
