Chapter 45 - International Heavenly King
45 International Heavenly King
When Ye Bei returned to the company, his lunch break had just ended.
“Ye Bei, you came back at the right time. Inform the higher-ups of the various departments and have them come to the conference room for a meeting.”
Luo Chen instructed.
Although he had some savings now…
It was still an insignificant grain of sand compared to the entirety of Dragon Kingdom, so he had to constantly strengthen himself.
“Yes, Boss.”
Ye Bei nodded and followed Luo Chen’s instructions.
After a while, the high-level executives led by Zhao Ruoshuang gathered in the meeting room and sat down.
Luo Chen sat beside Zhao Ruoshuang as usual.
Zhao Ruoshuang asked, “Vice President Luo, why did you suddenly call us for a meeting?”
Now, Zhao Ruoshuang’s attitude towards Luo Chen has changed. Her voice was much gentler than before.
“It’s like this. Now that I’ve earned 300 million yuan of strategic funds, I’d like to expand into some new businesses. Hence, I’d like to see what suggestions everyone has.”
Luo Chen went straight to the point and expressed his intentions.
“President Luo, there don’t seem to be any businesses worth investing in recently.”
“Old Chen is right. We’ve already invested in all the industries with potential in the country. The rest are those with poor potential. There’s no need to invest in them.”
“President Luo, if you insist on investing, we can look into the pet industry. Recently, the overall market of the pet industry has clearly grown.”
The high-level executives expressed their suggestions one after another.
Luo Chen stroked his chin.
Although the industries these people mentioned were not bad, many of them would only enter the golden period ten years later. He did not have that much time to wait.
“President Luo, I think investing in a management company is a good choice.”
At this moment, a young man with a long fringe said.
Hearing this, Luo Chen was immediately interested.
In the future, celebrities could be said to be one of the most profitable professions.
Moreover, many top celebrities had just debuted or had yet to debut.
He could use the advantage of being a pioneer in the management line to take them in.
If he packaged the celebrities a little, they would definitely become his strongest money trees!
“That’s a good idea. I think Xiangjiang’s Yinghuang Entertainment is not bad.”
“Guangying Media has also been doing well recently.”
Seeing that Luo Chen was interested in the management companies, some high-level executives came up with more ideas.
Zhao Ruoshuang was not interested in the entertainment industry, so she could not interrupt at all.
After a while, Luo Chen said, “You’re right. In addition to investing in domestic companies, we have to send someone overseas to contact a singer named Justin Bieber! No matter how much money we spend, we have to get a collaboration with his management company!”
Even if these celebrities were popular, they could only earn the money of their countrymen.
But Justin Bieber had the title of ‘International Heavenly King’!
If not for the fact that he had taken the wrong path at a young age, his achievements would definitely be even more unimaginable.
However, it was not a big problem. With him around this time, he would definitely not let Justin Bieber make the same mistake again.
“President Luo, is it reliable to invest in foreign singers? They don’t seem to sing that well. What if we lose money?”
The other high-level executives also advised Luo Chen not to invest in foreign singers.
Firstly, it was not as stable as investing in domestic management companies. Secondly, foreign management companies would always ask for very high prices.
At that time, the profits would not make up for the losses.
When Ye Bei, who was standing at the side, saw this scene, he knew that his chance had come.
“What are you talking about? Not reliable? Why don’t you think about it? When has President Luo ever invested and lost money?”
Although Ye Bei didn’t know this singer, judging from everyone’s reaction, it seemed like an opportunity to incur losses.
Upon hearing this, the high-level executives fell silent because what Ye Bei said made sense.
Luo Chen said, “Don’t worry. I’ve heard Justin Bieber’s songs. He has a lot of potential and will definitely achieve something in the future. Just do as I say.”
Hearing Luo Chen’s words, Ye Bei snorted.
A singer had potential just because you’ve heard him sing?
As Lin Tian had expected, Luo Chen was indeed arrogant. This time, he would definitely lose money!
“Alright, President Luo.”
Although no one was familiar with the Justin Bieber that Luo Chen was talking about, they just had to do as the boss said.
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of something. “By the way, contact James Cameron and Chris Columbus for me. I want to invest in their movies.”
These two were the directors of “Titanic” and “Home Alone”.
Once these two movies were released, they directly became classics in the film industry.
Their influence was so powerful that even if one had not seen it before, they would have heard of it.
Titanic alone had earned about 1.8 billion dollars!
...
“Yes, President Luo.”
Everyone wrote down Luo Chen’s instructions in their notebooks.
Zhao Ruoshuang looked at Luo Chen and could not help but sigh.
She did not expect Luo Chen to have such a deep understanding of all kinds of industries. Otherwise, how could he casually mention foreign singers and directors?
After instructing them on some things to take note of, everyone began to do their own things.
Luo Chen also returned to his office.
…
After about a month.
Luo Chen sat on the chair and stared at the data on the computer.
Justin Bieber and the two directors have both been contacted and he’d obtained a cooperative relationship with them.
Now, Justin Bieber’s popularity could only be said to be average. Previously, he had invested 70 million yuan in Justin Bieber’s management company. Based on the current state, it was definitely a huge loss.
...
However, Luo Chen was not in a hurry at all.
Looking at the date, Justin Bieber’s first popular song, “Baby”, was about to be released.
At that time, he would probably be able to earn back the money he had invested in in no time. In the future, he would only earn money!
When Ye Bei, who had come to deliver water, saw Luo Chen’s solemn expression and heard the company’s rumors, he knew that this investment was going to fail.
Thinking that Luo Chen was finally going to be defeated, he was incomparably happy!
However, Ye Bei put on a concerned expression. “Boss, why do I feel like you’re not in a good mood?”
“Huh?” Luo Chen was stunned. “How can you tell that I’m in a bad mood?”
At the same time, he became vigilant. Ye Bei’s sudden concern for him couldn’t be anything good!
Ye Bei suppressed his laughter and said, “Boss, I also heard that the foreign management company’s profits aren’t very good. We might not be able to get back the money we invested, but don’t fret over this matter. There will definitely be other profitable projects in the future!”
“I’m not unhappy. You’re thinking too much.”
Luo Chen shook his head helplessly.
Ye Bei’s acting skills were too bad. When Ye Bei heard that he had lost money, he couldn’t help but laugh.
However, Ye Bei did not feel guilty at all.
He still pretended to be a kind person and advised, “Boss, don’t suppress anything in your heart. How about this? I’ll take you to a newly opened bar tonight to relax. I reckon you’ll be in a much better mood!”
Hearing this, Luo Chen sneered in his heart.
No wonder he suddenly showed concern for him. It turned out that he had been waiting for this moment. There must be something wrong with this bar.
Seeing this, Luo Chen played along. “Ye Bei, you know me best. Let’s go over after work
