640: Chapter 601: eting an Old Friend Again 640: Chapter 601: eting an Old Friend Again “Uncle Qi, thank you for finding the person for ; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know where to start with the entertainnt industry.” Liu Hun sat next to Uncle Qi and said with a smile.
Uncle Qi looked at Liu Hun, from the ti he t him until now, he seed to have never fully understood the young man before him.
He was indecipherable then, and even more so now — it was unclear what kind of power was behind him that transford a Mainland kid who knew nothing into an influential figure in Port City.
Although curious, the old man, with his experience, knew what he should and shouldn’t ask.
“There’s no need for such thanks; you funded all of Imperial City Entertainnt, and now, when it’s facing difficulties on all fronts, only you were willing to pour in so much money to make these things happen.
Just ntion money and everyone would co running to you,” Uncle Qi said to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun knew Uncle Qi was talking about all those pop stars and movie stars, but managent talent was not easy to co by.
“Still, I’m grateful to you, Uncle Qi.” After a pause, he continued, “Are we eting that person tonight?”
“Yes, the general manager of Imperial City Entertainnt.
You should et the people working for you, it’s not good just to sit at ho and collect money,” Uncle Qi teased with a smile.
“Yes, I should et him.
As long as he is capable, I am willing to keep investing and expand Imperial City Entertainnt.” Liu Hun looked out at the lights of Port City and said to Uncle Qi.
He wanted to be in dia and entertainnt to create montum and gestate an atmosphere of prosperity and peace.
Public confidence was most important, sothing he and Soros learned while sweeping through Southeast Asia.
The stretched Bentley stopped at the door of the Emperor Hotel, once a part of the Liheng Group, but now it belonged to the Le Bai Group under Liu Hun.
“Uncle Qi, aren’t you coming too?” Liu Hun got out of the car and saw that Uncle Qi had no intention of leaving.
“I have sothing else tonight, you go ahead, up to the top floor.” After saying this, Uncle Qi gave Liu Hun a aningful smile, then closed the car door.
Watching Uncle Qi’s car drive away, Liu Hun was sowhat puzzled, but eting the person working for him was not a problem, so he proceeded to the top floor of the hotel, led by the manager through the VIP elevator.
“Chairman, we’re here; I’ll leave you to it,” the hotel manager said to Liu Hun without even exiting the elevator.
Liu Hun nodded, signaling the manager could leave, and then stepped out of the elevator.
In front of him was a long carpet, with two rows of rooms on either side and a presidential suite at the end — not so different from any other hotel.
But the person who ca out of the room left him in shock.
“Jiang Fengqin!”
A lody of the guqin accompanied by a flute, singing softly like a gentle spring breeze passing through.
“General Manager Jiang, tell how you ca to be here,” Liu Hun said, holding Jiang Fengqin in his arms.
He knew it was her ti of the month and didn’t want to press on for the sake of her health.
Jiang Fengqin was like a contented panther after her satisfaction, exuding a wild charm from her body, especially after what they had done, as if her body emitted an aroma that stirred up primal desires.
“Hmm…” Jiang Fengqin responded lazily with a coquettish air, then began to recount slowly, “After arriving in Port City, Uncle Qi received , bought a house, hired a Cantonese teacher for , and even a teacher for manners.
He got enrolled in courses at Port City University.”
Hearing Jiang Fengqin say this, Liu Hun knew that Uncle Qi must have been preparing for today back then.
“Later, Uncle Qi took to many social events with famous people, their balls and such.
He introduced to everyone as a Chinese overseas from Malaysia,” Jiang Fengqin said, and couldn’t help smiling, “I feel like this is the life I’ve always wanted.
Uncle Qi even said I seem to be born for the social circle.
You wouldn’t believe it, but back when I was studying, I just couldn’t make myself learn.
But I don’t know why, after coming to Port City, things like etiquette, wine knowledge, jewelry, and clothing, I rembered it all after just one look.
Isn’t that weird?”
“Not weird at all,” Liu Hun replied with a smile.
All these changes in Jiang Fengqin were exactly what he wanted to see — a woman with a background in pleasure quarters, having experience managing clubs and nightclubs, now transford by Uncle Qi’s packaging, instantly beca the most qualified entertainnt company manager he needed.
“All this I owe to you, you gave a new life, everything I have is yours, forever,” Jiang Fengqin said, her emotions genuine as she pressed against Liu Hun’s chest, feeling his heartbeat.
Liu Hun patted Jiang Fengqin’s bare shoulder and said, “I’ll be increasing my investnt in Imperial City Entertainnt in the future, you’ll have to work even harder.”
Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Jiang Fengqin couldn’t help but laugh, “Managing an entertainnt company is actually quite simple.
The finances are handled by people from Liu Ran Company, arranged by Uncle Qi, and I can handle the HR.
Actually… it’s pretty much like managing a group of hostesses.
Although it might sound inappropriate, it’s more or less true.”
“Mm…” Liu Hun nodded in agreent.
As long as Jiang Fengqin was handling it smoothly, that was the best outco.
He then asked, “How is Imperial City Entertainnt doing now?”
Jiang Fengqin replied, “Since we’re a newly established company, we’re weak in most aspects, except for finances.” Saying that, she smiled with pride, clearly aware of the financial strength of the man she relied on.
“Ahead of us are entertainnt companies like Bao Li, Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, Wanchun, and a series of others, whose resources, connections, and the number of stars they have signed are several tis more than ours.
But…” Jiang Fengqin spoke, her tone suddenly shifted, “enduring this financial crisis, these entertainnt companies have all suffered to varying degrees of impact, which is precisely our opportunity to rise.”
“Hmm, well said.” Liu Hun nodded with appreciation, sowhat surprised by Jiang Fengqin’s clear analysis of the situation, “Can our thods of investing heavily to create and promote stars and generate entertainnt buzz yield quick results?” Liu Hun asked, revealing his thoughts.
To his surprise, Jiang Fengqin shook her head, “It might not work, to be precise, the results would be minimal and not worth it.
We should use the cleverest ans to gain the greatest benefit.”
“What do you have in mind?” Liu Hun asked, sitting up straight, eager to hear Jiang Fengqin’s brilliant ideas.
Jiang Fengqin smiled seductively, “Do you rember the gift you sent ?”
“Gift?” Liu Hun was puzzled, having no recollection of ever giving Jiang Fengqin any gift.
“Was it sothing from Uncle Seven?” Liu Hun ventured, wondering if maybe Uncle Seven had sent sothing to Jiang Fengqin in his na.
“No!
It was from you, from the Mainland.” Jiang Fengqin said, seeing that Liu Hun was taking too long to guess, she blurted out three words, “Wang Junmin!”
At this na, Liu Hun suddenly understood.
After he and Wang Junmin had been frad by Chen Kang, Wang Junmin, who had been pulled out of jail by Yang Rui, had begged him for a way out.
So, he had sent her to Hong Kong to Jiang Fengqin’s care.
Now Jiang Fengqin was bringing it up.
“Wang Junmin, how is she now?” Liu Hun asked Jiang Fengqin.
Jiang Fengqin answered slowly, “When she first arrived, her identity was quite special, being a fugitive convict, so she couldn’t obtain an identity in Hong Kong.
We owe it to Uncle Seven that we managed to get her to Malaysia, where she got a Malaysian identity.
Now…
just wait.” Jiang Fengqin finished her sentence and imdiately stood up, walked over to the coffee table, picked up a newspaper, and then returned to hand it to Liu Hun, “Take a look.”
Liu Hun took the newspaper and saw that the front page of this Malay-language newspaper from Malaysia featured headlines about the financial storm, “Why am I looking at this?” Liu Hun asked, already all too familiar with Malaysia’s financial storm, being one of the masterminds.
“This side,” Jiang Fengqin said as she turned the newspaper over.
Liu Hun focused and saw the entertainnt section’s front-page headline bearing the portrait of a woman, the contour, the appearance…
“Is this…
Wang Junmin?” Liu Hun asked incredulously.
Jiang Fengqin nodded with a smile, “Yes!
It’s Wang Junmin, but now she doesn’t go by Wang Junmin.
She’s Wang Baizhi, the hottest Chinese pop star in Malaysia.”
“How…
did she change so much?” Liu Hun still didn’t quite understand, certain that he rembered what Wang Junmin looked like—the jade girl who had swept the whole Mainland TV industry.
How could he forget?
“This is what you call a complete makeover,” Jiang Fengqin said with so pride.
“Given her special identity, Uncle Seven arranged for her to undergo plastic surgery, but retained many of her original qualities.
This was so people would associate her with the Wang Junmin of the past.
Coupled with her singing voice, which is exactly the sa as Wang Junmin’s, this created a talking point, allowing her to beco an overnight sensation.”
“Moreover, to be on the safe side, I got rid of so birthmarks on her body.
Now, she is completely Wang Baizhi, the sensational pop star from Malaysia, with no connection to the Wang Junmin of the past.” Jiang Fengqin boasted proudly to Liu Hun.
“Clever maneuvers!” Liu Hun complinted sincerely.
Jiang Fengqin, hearing her lover’s praise, smiled happily, “This was a trick from my days managing a nightclub.
So cheap, low-end girls, as long as they resembled so celebrity, could be packaged a bit, then paraded around.
Limit them to serving only the highest bidder each day, and even a flawed item will have people clambering for it.”
Liu Hun laughed, then suddenly asked, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll fly the coop now that you’ve let her develop in Malaysia?”
Jiang Fengqin clenched her fist and said, “She can’t escape the palm of my hand.
I have a backup of all her Mainland identity and plastic surgery docunts, plus it was our subsidiary in Malaysia that managed and packaged her.
But…”
“But what?” Liu Hun asked, curious.
“But now Malaysia is severely hit, the economy is languid, and I plan to have her return to Hong Kong.
First, the Malaysian market has been impacted, and the entertainnt industry is no different—there’s no profit left.
Second, we need a star to boost and hype, to put our company’s na out there.
Moreover, the audience in Hong Kong is probably more familiar with Wang Junmin than the Malaysians, so she will definitely make an even bigger splash in Hong Kong.” Jiang Fengqin shared her plan with Liu Hun.
As Jiang Fengqin spoke, she kissed Liu Hun on the cheek and said, “This is just the first step for Imperial City Entertainnt.
Wang Junmin…
or rather, Wang Baizhi, will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon.
I need the dia to create a sensation.”
“I understand,” Liu Hun said with a smile, pinching Jiang Fengqin’s chin.
