America's Road to Fame

Chapter 270 Ai Hui Records
Not to mention, William Chen was a little moved when Nozomi Sasaki said this.

William Chen has only written less than one-third of the current script named "Extreme Game". In his design, there are five protagonists in total. Of course, only one survives in the end. Star joins.

In fact, this can also be said to be a TV series he prepared for several actresses around him, because at that time this series will not only be broadcast in Asia, but will also be broadcast worldwide through Netflix. If the "Squid Game" is as popular as it is, the popularity of the participating actresses will also be greatly improved.

This kind of popularity is not limited to the Asian region, but worldwide.Just like after the "Squid Game" became popular in the previous life, both the male and female protagonists had a lot of fans in Europe and America, and even the peripheral products of this TV series, such as the clothes inside, created a whirlwind of popularity.

Someone even produced a variety show on Youtube based on the plot of this series.

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 bit of fear: "Then William, are you going to leave me?"

"No, my dear, it's just that I think you have the right to know 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 a long time ago, William, and I also knew that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be 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."

Sasaki Nozomi hugged William Chen tightly and whispered.

Feeling her body trembling slightly, William Chen hugged her into his arms: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."

"William..."

"Ok?"

"I want a child of yours too..."

……

William Chen came to Japan this time. Apart from learning about the development of HOLA in Japan and meeting Nozomi Sasaki, he also had another purpose, which was the Abex Group. William Chen took a fancy to their music department and wanted to acquire it.

Speaking of Avex Group, many people may not know it, but many people may have heard of the name it once used - Aihui Records.

When Avex first entered the Chinese market, the company name was Aihui, but last year, it was changed to Avex, 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. Its market value was once as high as 7700 billion yen, or about 60 billion US dollars.

Avex has many well-known singers in Japan. The most well-known one is naturally Ayumi Hamasaki. Others include Namie Amuro, Kumi Koda, Hitomi Shimadani, Ami Suzuki, Ai Otsuka, etc. name.

At the same time, in the Chinese market, the company has also signed many well-known singers.

In recent years, because the record market has been sluggish, and the ace singers under Avex have been attacked by newcomers, the company is transforming into a comprehensive entertainment company, and the emphasis on the music department, their former core department, is declining.

At present, the Avex Group is expanding in the direction of Internet entertainment, film and television, and animation, and the proportion of the group's profits from the music department has been decreasing.

However, due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the market value of Abex Group has been cut from more than 60 billion US dollars at its peak to less than 30 billion US dollars.

And now, it is also a good time for William Chen to acquire the music department of this company. He knows that in less than two years, the global entertainment industry will recover again, and the music market is also an important part of it. Valuation will skyrocket several times than it is now. Therefore, this is the best opportunity to buy bottoms in these industries.

However, it would be too high-profile if Chen William directly took charge of this kind of matter, and it would be easy for the other party to sell it for a price. Therefore, the team that came to Japan with Chen William will be responsible for this acquisition.

When he came to Japan this time, William Chen brought Erica and the casual think tank team she was in charge of. Now they are in charge of acquiring the music department of Avex Group, which is also the first time for this team. test.

William Chen and Nozomi Sasaki came to Tokyo's Ginza together. Located in the center of this place, there is a dazzling nine-story building, the overall color is blue, especially at night, it is dazzling.

This building, the landmark Tiffany Building in Tokyo, was bought by Goldman Sachs in 2008 for 380 billion yen, equivalent to nearly 3.8 million US dollars.

However, during the subprime mortgage crisis, Japanese real estate prices plummeted. At the same time, because of the financial exhaustion in the United States at that time, a large number of foreign investors who came to Japan to invest, especially American capital, sold properties one after another and returned funds to save themselves.

Fortunately, Goldman Sachs made a fortune in the Eurasian market, so it is not so dangerous, but they also have the need to sell real estate in Japan.

Therefore, now this building carefully designed by the famous Japanese designer Kengo Kuma has become the property of William Chen.As the major shareholder of Goldman Sachs Group, he bought the building at a friendly price of 3 million US dollars, which can be regarded as helping Goldman Sachs solve a problem.

Of course, losses are inevitable, but at this time, being able to sell the building at this price has satisfied Goldman Sachs.

Afterwards, the building will be renamed HC Fashion Building, and at the same time, hang the Hermès logo and become the location of Hermès' flagship store in Tokyo.

When other brands of HC Fashion Company enter the Japanese market in the future, they will also open brand stores here.

Interestingly, next to the HC fashion building is Dior's flagship store in Tokyo, with the shiny Dior logo hanging on it. It will be very interesting to face off between Hermes and Dior in the future.

After arriving here, William Chen's purpose of coming to Tokyo has almost been completed, and the affairs of the music department of the Avex Group will be handed over to the team that stays here.

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 relatively large, Japanese local films are the most popular. Special film, which is completely different from other markets in the world, so the value of investment is not great; 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 Huaguo...

And the food needs to be eaten bite by bite. In this kind of overseas market, there is no need to swallow jujubes whole, and the management is too difficult.The first music market to enter now is the Asian company that can be merged into EMI Music, which is why he chose to acquire Aihui Records first.

It is also worth mentioning that EMI has acquired Gold Medal Gale at a price of 2500 million US dollars, and will merge this company into the Asian branch of EMI, that is, merge with the original Asian branch of Warner Music.

As for the EMI Asian branch, EMI CEO Lucian Grange also found a CEO candidate for William Chen. Grange was recruited from Universal Music. The other party was previously the vice president of Universal Music's Asian company. I don't know how Lucian used EMI to recruit him.

If the acquisition of Aihui Records can be successfully acquired, then this department will also be merged into EMI Asia. In this case, EMI Asia will be a proper super giant in Asia. This will also test the ability of Medgroup, whether it can Integrate these three parts into EMI Asia as a whole.

When Chen William left Tokyo, he finally took Nozomi Sasaki and Erica to board the Gulfstream G550.

The reason was 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. Was this an earthquake?

This was Chen William's first experience of an earthquake outside of the Eye of the Future, but fortunately, the tremor only lasted for a short time, and everything returned to normal.

Seeing Nozomi Sasaki, after the initial panic, she quickly returned to normal. It seems that she has encountered this situation many times.

Soon, news came that at noon on June 6, an earthquake with a magnitude of 13 occurred in the eastern waters of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. There are no reports of casualties or property damage.

Although William Chen 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 there is even an eruption of the Palu volcano that he has never heard of. , so he himself is not sure whether there will be a higher level earthquake in Japan immediately.

Therefore, although Nozomi Sasaki comforted him and said that these are normal in Japan, he still insisted on taking Nozomi Sasaki and Erica to leave Tokyo and go to Huaguo.

In addition, he also silently wrote down in his heart that he would try his best to let Nozomi Sasaki live elsewhere, especially next year.
