Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Chapter 497 Attacking Hollywood

The ball head is made of pure gold, the tungsten alloy and the diamond-embedded shaft, and of course the exquisite craftsmanship.

For such a golf club that tastes like a nouveau riche, Torataro asked for 100 million yen.

Although gold is a precious metal, it’s not that expensive, right?

Bai Chuanfeng doubted that anyone would really buy such an extremely exaggerated club.

"Maruyama-san, give me two sets. I just want to play golf with Okura-san and the others recently. This set of clubs is good and suitable as a gift."

Bai Chuanfeng's suspicion just arose, and at the same time, Nagata Masaru beside him couldn't wait to order two sets.

Ah, did this slap in the face come so quickly?

“I’ll also buy two sets, so you can’t miss the limited-edition customized clubs.”

Immediately afterwards, Kazuo Ogawa also asked for two sets.

Well, now Bai Chuanfeng has begun to doubt whether his own aesthetics has been separated from the masses for too long.

Clubs that seemed flashy and vulgar to him looked like treasures to others.

In fact, this was the mainstream aesthetic of the bubble era, and Shirakawa Kaede's vision is indeed a bit out of place in the current era.

After all, gold leaf ice cream, gold leaf sushi, gold leaf sake, etc. are so popular, so it is logical to get a set of gold clubs.

To put it bluntly, if there is demand, there is a market. At this moment, the expressions of Nagata Masa and the others who couldn't put it down said everything.

Again, stimulated by huge wealth and in order to highlight the difference between themselves and ordinary people, the rich just want to spend money.

And the money must be spent to produce unique effects. As for the price, it is just a bunch of numbers.

The golden clubs he had worked out had a good start even before they were put on sale, and Torataro was in a good mood.

"Don't worry, you two, your club numbers must be the first ones.

White Deer cues are also limited to 650 sets, while supplies last, and will never be reproduced. "

Having been in the business world for so many years, Torataro also understands the value of rare things.

This set of clubs will be launched under the name of White Deer Trading Co., in order to increase its bigness. Torataro also contacted the internationally authoritative gold appraisal agency and diamond appraisal agency.

They will issue a qualification certificate for each set of clubs, which will be delivered to the customer together with the clubs themselves.

In addition to their gorgeous appearance, they also need an appraisal certificate from an authoritative organization to reflect the uniqueness of these clubs.

It’s still the same sentence, big, unique, gorgeous, and amazing. These effects are what the rich want.

As for how to sell or promote these clubs? Well, isn’t there a ready-made living advertisement right in front of us?

"Xiao Feng, you must put on a good pose later so that you can give full play to your invincible money charm."

"Go, go, go~" Bai Chuanfeng pushed him away in disgust.

What is the invincible charm of money? Can't we just remove the word "money"?

The aggrieved Bai Chuanfeng picked up the local gold club, and the boss walked towards the court unwillingly.

Torataro, who didn't take it seriously at all, secretly posted it again. He was instructing Shirakawa Kaede on the promotional photos he would take later.

Yes, Torataro called Shirakawa Kaede for help this time just to promote his golden club.

There is no point in advertising this kind of sky-high luxury product on TV.

Because the audience they face are not ordinary people at all. If they want to sell luxury jewelry efficiently, they can only find celebrities to bring the goods.

Who is more convincing than the identity of the richest man in the world? Bai Chuanfeng himself is a top figure in the celebrity circle.

It would be such a waste not to pull him over and pick up a handful of wool.

Therefore, when Torataro designed these clubs, he had already thought about who to endorse them later.

The confused Shirakawa Kaede was caught at the scene by Torataro, and then performed various poses under the command of the photographer.

These photos strive to be realistic, especially the logo on the club, which must be clearly presented.

Bailu Trading Company is a comprehensive trading company established to operate the Lujiao Resort. It involves a series of tertiary industries such as tourism, catering, and shopping.

Of course, taking advantage of the bubble era, it’s not surprising to occasionally launch one or two luxury goods.

These photos taken will most likely appear on the cover of some high-end magazines. Of course, the content is not to directly promote your own clubs, but may be more likely to be some other reports.

If you directly use the richest man to advertise, the price will drop a lot.

The best effect is to inadvertently draw people's attention to the club in Shirakawa Kaede's hand.

As the richest man, ordinary people are also very curious about his private life.

If such a high-definition picture is published in a magazine, it will inevitably arouse the curiosity of the public, and then they will start to study every bit of him.

From clothes, shoes, hats to clubs, you will definitely be picked apart.

If it were quietly released at that time, the White Deer cue in Shirakawa Kaede's hand would be worth 100 million yen!

Tsk, didn’t this stunt happen immediately?

As long as the discussion gets popular, there is no need to worry about selling.

To be honest, Bai Chuanfeng doesn't like to appear in the media. After all, he is not an artist, so there is no need to show his private side to everyone.

However, considering the sky-high price of the clubs, he still got up and started business honestly.

Alas, it’s not easy to make some money these days. Take advantage of the bubble to make a fortune, there will never be such a good opportunity in the future.

After struggling for a long time, until the photographer finished the work, Torataro let go of his little friend.

"Shirakawa-san, I heard that you have made big moves recently?"

Nagata Masaru, who had taken a few swings, came over with two bottles of drinks.

"Not really, I just want to improve the business of Baichuan Interactive Entertainment."

After several years of development, Baichuan Interactive Entertainment has become a first-line brand in Neon.

There are many new-generation artists under SAOND Records. Daying has gone through a lot of troubles in the past few years. I can’t say how good it is, but at least it is starting to make a profit.

There is also the linkage with Tokuma Bookstore, film and television, music, toys and peripherals, these fields are in full bloom.

However, all influence is limited to Neon. In order to open up a future international route, Shirakawa Kaede is ready to activate his own banknote capabilities.

"I heard that Shirakawa-san has been in contact with Bei Mi recently. Are you preparing to make a move to Hollywood?"

Taking a towel to wipe the sweat on his face, Kazuo Ogawa also came over to join in the fun.

Seeing the gossipy expressions on these two people's faces, Bai Chuanfeng smiled.

“It can be said that in order to increase the brand influence, it is also to bridge the gap between software and hardware in the audition field in the future.

These are all necessary things for Shirakawa Electric to have its own media resources internationally. "

After hearing his explanation, Nagata Masaru and Ogawa Kazuo both nodded in recognition.

Today's neon has great influence internationally, and it is only worthy of its status that such a large company expands overseas.

The expansion of the bubble has given Neon people a condescending attitude towards the international environment.

Baichuan Interactive Entertainment has money, so it is appropriate to go to Hollywood for mergers and acquisitions. After all, this is what is needed for business expansion.

In addition to Baichuan Interactive Entertainment, Sony and Panasonic are also said to be in contact with Hollywood.

Look, everyone in the entertainment media field is quite consistent, and they all want to dominate overseas.

I played golf with Nagata Masa and the others for a while, and had a meal. Later that day, Shirakawa Kaede returned to Tokyo without stopping.

Recently, Baichuan Interactive Entertainment and Baichuan Electric are in frequent contact with Paramount, one of the seven largest companies in Hollywood.

There are still seven major Hollywood companies now, and there were even eight major companies in the past few years.

However, in 1981, after United Artists was financed by the owner of MGM, the Big Eight became the Big Seven.

Warner, MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Disney, these are the major film companies that dominate Hollywood now.

To be honest, the first person Shirakawa Kaede wanted to contact was Warner. After all, the other party has popular IPs such as the DC Universe and the Harry Potter series.

But the most fundamental reason is that Warner is now the leader among the seven major Hollywood companies.

It owns a series of high-quality assets such as film studios, studios, TV companies, animated games, DC comics, records, etc. IP is only one part of it.

A complete industrial chain can well make up for the shortage of Baichuan Interactive Entertainment or Baichuan Electrical Appliances in these fields.

However, Bai Chuanfeng started a step late. Time Group had already begun to contact Warner two years ago.

One is the largest publishing group in the United States, and the other is the largest media group in the United States. Shirakawa Holdings really cannot get involved in the transactions between the two.

After all, they are all domestic companies in the United States, and Warner's dominance in the media field means that even if Baichuan Holdings has money, it may not be able to achieve its wishes.

Maybe the negotiations will be stopped halfway through by the US government.

So in the final analysis, Shirakawa Holdings is targeting Paramount.

There are many reasons to choose it, and it goes without saying that it has various IPs.

The future Transformers series, Mission: Impossible series, Tomb Raider series, Terminator series, as well as the big money-drawing "Titanic", the word-of-mouth king "The Godfather", etc., are all considered Paramount's assets.

Of course, some of them have not yet been acquired by Paramount, but the foundation is there.

In addition, Paramount itself is the oldest among the major Hollywood film and television companies, and the "Paramount Act" was enacted to break its monopoly.

Unfortunately, Paramount later encountered a business crisis and went bankrupt in 1933. It was not reorganized until 1935.

The current Paramount was acquired by Gulf Western Industries in 1966 and became its subsidiary.

From a background perspective, Paramount is not a pure media company. After all, the parent company is engaged in industry.

And this is precisely the reason why Shirakawa Holdings wants to acquire it. Gulf Western Industries originally acquired Paragate just for investment.

Its basic base is in the industry, so if Paramount is used as a trading partner, they will not have any psychological burden.

After all, if it is just investment, then there is no business to discuss.

In addition, among the major Hollywood companies, Paramount is at a low ebb.

Contacting Gulf Western Industries at this time is the best time for Shirakawa Holdings to enter the game.

In the late 1970s, Paramount also had its glory days under the leadership of Barry Diller.

But Barry Diller's dream was to build a new television network, and Gulf Western Industries had no intention of attempting such a venture.

So in 1984, Barry Diller accepted the invitation from media tycoon Rupert Murdoch to start his fourth television network.

The two assistants who were with him at the beginning, Michael and Jeffrey, were also poached by Disney.

Without the Troika, Paramount's business has plummeted.

After several years of holding on, even Martin Davis, the boss of Gulf Western Industries, couldn't stand it anymore.

After receiving the news, Bai Chuanfeng immediately got in touch with the other party.
