Shanghai, one of the four municipalities directly under the central government, is also the largest city in mainland China. As early as the Republic of China, Shanghai was set up as a concession by various powers due to its role as a commercial port. Although there was no lack of shame in this, it also really made Shanghai
It became the most prosperous city in mainland China at that time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai relied on the financial and trade foundation accumulated from the Republic of China to continue to occupy the position of the largest city in the country. To this day, this "Pearl of the Orient" still shines brightly.
In his previous life, Zhou Hao was admitted to Fudan University in Shanghai, and then entered the Huangshi Group through a friend's introduction. Until his death at the hands of Huang Wanke and Zhong Ying, he had been living in Shanghai for a total of ten years.
Looking out the car window at this rapidly developing city, Zhou Hao felt a little emotional. Many of the buildings in his memory have not yet appeared. Whether in his past life or this life, the city of Shanghai is both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Although he lived in Shanghai for more than ten years in his previous life, Zhou Hao always felt that he could not fully integrate into this city.
"Hao, I heard that people in Shanghai are very vain and snobbish. Is this true?" Liang Xiaobing beside her suddenly asked.
"Is it vanity and snobbishness?" Zhou Hao smiled, "There is indeed a point, and this is undeniable."
Zhou Hao also knows that in ordinary discussions, Shanghainese people are difficult to like, and nine times out of ten they will become the object of ridicule. Shanghainese people are very picky, and Shanghainese people look down on foreigners. These are all places that are criticized by people, as well as Shanghai.
The timidity of men and the vanity of Shanghai women.
Based on Zhou Hao's "experience", he knows that it is difficult for others to make Shanghai people suffer, but Shanghai people will not take advantage of others casually. This does not mean that the morals of Shanghai people are better than those of other places, but that
Precisely because Shanghainese have long developed the habit of speaking out about their personal interests,
People are not too secretive about their personal interests. In terms of personal interests, "mine" and "yours" are clearly distinguished. This makes them less likely to suffer losses, and it is harder to use them to take advantage of others. Over time,
This leads to Shanghai people being more particular about rules and practical efficiency in doing things.
I heard Wang Zhongjun in front say with a smile: "I think although Shanghainese people are careless, they are more honest in business. Once a contract is made, it is basically difficult to change it. It is not necessarily good for such people to make friends.
But he is a very good partner in business.”
Zhou Hao smiled at Liang Xiaobing and said, "Didn't you say you had been to Shanghai two years ago? You still have no idea about Shanghainese people?"
Liang Xiaobing pursed her lips: "At that time, I only stayed for two days and then left in a hurry. How could I have a chance to meet Shanghainese people? It was Weiwen who told me that Shanghainese people are annoying. He said that Hong Kong people are better off in Shanghai.
, but when he was shopping in Shanghai, he witnessed a store owner ridiculing foreign workers, so he had a very bad impression of Shanghainese."
After hearing this, Zhou Hao also shrugged. Since Shanghai has long been the first city in China, and at this time, Shenzhen, which is still in its early stages of development, does not have the strength to compete with Shanghai, so Shanghainese often
I am very arrogant and proud of being a Shanghainese. I believe that only Shanghai can be considered a city and other places are "countryside".
This can be said to be a bad habit of Shanghainese people. Zhou Hao also suffered from this when he first came to Shanghai in his previous life.
Not long after, the group arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai, where Wang Zhongjun had already booked a room in the name of "Polaris" for Zhou Hao and the employees of Neptune Records.
Although many people at Neptune Records knew that Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing were related, otherwise it would be difficult for Liang Xiaobing to transform from an ordinary TV drama artist to a popular singer in the music industry. Even so, Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing did not blatantly
Share a room.
But I don’t know if Wang Zhongjun deliberately arranged that Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing’s rooms are opposite each other.
Wang Zhongjun also rented a business conference room in the hotel as a place for company employees to discuss and work.
After taking a short rest, people from "Polaris" and employees from Neptune Records came to this business conference room to discuss the merger of the "Polaris" record division and Neptune Records, as well as Liang Xiaobing's concert.
In fact, the merger of the "Polaris" record business division and Neptune Records is not difficult, because after the merger of the two departments, Neptune Records is still responsible for the distribution of the company's singers' records in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific region, while the "Polaris" record business division
is responsible for the distribution of records in the domestic region. If we want to change it, the record business division of "Polaris" will be named "Neptune". Of course, after the merger, although the two departments are separated between China and Hong Kong,
Cooperation and exchanges between each other will also continue to deepen.
After discussing this matter, it was Liang Xiaobing's turn to hold a concert in Shanghai.
"Regarding Xiaobing's concert this time, the company has decided to hold it on the big stage in Shanghai. I have reached a preliminary agreement with the relevant departments." Wang Zhongjun said that one of the most important things he did when he came to Shanghai this time was to help
Liang Xiaobing took care of the concert.
Then, a manager from Neptune Records also said to Zhou Hao: "We are scheduled to sell 16,000 tickets for this concert."
Although the manager's expression was calm, the look in his eyes was a bit uncontrollably excited. Because the Shanghai Grand Stage has more locations than the Hung Hom Coliseum in Hong Kong, also known as the "Coliseum". You know, in
Hong Kong, every singer’s dream is to be in
Held a concert at the "Coliseum". But Liang Xiaobing did not hold a concert at the "Coliseum" this time, but held it on the Shanghai Grand Stage first. If it is successful this time, then Liang Xiaobing will be better than holding a concert at the "Coliseum"
Even if it succeeds, Neptune Records will also become famous in China.
"Originally, Xiaobing has only released one Mandarin album so far, with only twelve songs in it, which is not enough to hold a concert." The manager of Neptune Records said: "However, this time we followed Mr. Zhou's instructions.
, we plan to let Xiao Bing sing new songs at the concert and use the concert to promote it. After the concert, the company will release two new albums for Xiao Bing."
As early as Liang Xiaobing released her first solo album "Notepad", Neptune Records had already begun planning two new albums for her in the future. The songwriters in the company have worked hard to write songs for Liang Xiaobing.
Zhou Hao also wrote several hit songs for Liang Xiaobing, including the famous song "The Most Familiar Stranger" by Elva Hsiao in his previous life, and the famous song "Courage" by Liang Jingru.
In the past two months, Liang Xiaobing has been practicing hard on a total of more than 20 songs for two new albums. Everyone at Neptune Records admires his hard work and hard work.
Wang Zhongjun said to Zhou Hao: "Boss, if there are no problems, we can officially sell tickets tomorrow."
After Zhou Hao nodded, Wang Zhongjun said to Liang Xiaobing: "The concert will be held in two weeks, and there will be three performances every other day. During the period before the concert, Xiaobing, please go to the big stage to rehearse.
."
I heard Liang Xiaobing ask with some anxiety: "Do we need a line dance?"
Wang Zhongjun and the manager of Neptune Records both looked at Zhou Hao, because although they were responsible for this matter, the final decision was still in Zhou Hao's hands, not to mention that they all knew the relationship between Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing.
.
Zhou Hao said: "You don't need to dance. Anyway, there are dancers to dance with you. It's already very hard for you to sing. If you add dancing, how can you bear it?"
In fact, Zhou Hao is not interested in singers who sing and dance on stage. In his opinion, a successful singer only needs to sing well. Although as the competition in the entertainment industry becomes more and more fierce, many singers have begun to dance to
To highlight themselves, some even expose their flesh to increase exposure.
Moreover, when watching those concerts in his previous life, Zhou Hao saw the singers on the stage dancing and singing at the same time, and knew that they must be lip-syncing. Otherwise, with such a large amount of exercise, unless he is a master of internal qigong, how can he
I still have the energy to sing.
Real singers don't need to express themselves in this way at all.
Liang Xiaobing is Zhou Hao's woman, so he will naturally not let Liang Xiaobing do those sensational things. At the same time, with Zhou Hao's support, Liang Xiaobing does not need to change her style in the later stages like many other singers do, and she still looks sexy by taking a sexy route.
Stay visible.
As for the concert tickets, the lowest is 220 yuan, and the highest in-field ticket is 1,200 yuan. If this Shanghai concert is successful, Liang Xiaobing will tour the country.
Sing.
After discussing these matters, Zhou Hao called Song Jiahao of Hong Kong's "Galaxy Investment Company" and asked him: "Jiahao, have you finished the company's accounts?"
"Boss, it has been done. According to your request, the account shows that our company's investment in the past six months has resulted in a total loss of HK$4.877 billion." Song Jiahao said.
Zhou Hao nodded, "Well, you did a good job, then just do what I said before and find an opportunity to leak this account."
After talking to Song Jiahao, Zhou Hao dialed another number.
"Hello, I'm Dai Jiashun from the Coca-Cola Company's China headquarters. Who are you?" A male voice came from the other side of the phone.
I heard Zhou Hao smile and say: "Hello, President Dai, I am Zhou Hao. Someone from my company has been looking for you before."
