Rebirth Starts From 2006

Upon hearing Jackson's question, Chen Yang immediately shook his head and said with a smile,

"Of course not. It's entirely up to you to decide where you want to go, who you want to meet, and what you like. I can only give you some suggestions as a tour guide. I will never impose any requirements on you."

After a pause, he said again,

"As for the handicraft company, that has nothing to do with me. Our company's business is not that complicated yet, and the profits from this kind of project cannot impress me at all.

What can I gain from it? "

Chen Yang raised his head and said with a smile, "It can help some places in our country develop the economy, help people there get rid of poverty, and let more people around the world know about our many wonderful traditional cultures through your likes.

This is my harvest! "

Jackson looked at Chen Yang in the mirror and was silent for a moment. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he continued to remain silent.

Chen Yang smiled and asked, "Do you think what I am doing is not in line with my status as a capitalist?"

Jackson grinned and said, "That's what I thought, but after thinking about your charitable contributions, I don't feel weird anymore."

Chen Yang raised his head and laughed, "There is an old saying in our country, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish'.

There is also a saying, which is called ‘rescue the emergency but not the poor’.

No matter how much charity you do, it is not as practical as helping people in a place get rid of poverty.

So, I was thinking about how to help those poor areas get rid of poverty so that the people there can achieve a happy life through their own hard work, so I came up with such a plan.

And you are a very important part of this plan! "

"Yes, that's what it's like!"

Jackson clapped his hands and stood up.

As a result, Amy yelled from behind, "Sit tight!"

Then he stayed still.

Good guy, the sound was so loud that even Di Leo and Chen Yang shuddered.

DiLeo rolled his eyes, leaned next to Chen Yang and whispered, "What is her annual salary? Is it possible to ask her to work for Jackson?"

Chen Yang glanced sideways,

What is this scenario?

Are you addicted to abuse?

DiLeo smiled calmly, "You know, Jackson often has his own opinions. If he has a strong stylist, he may be able to help him change his image!"

Boss Chen understood instantly,

Some stars are said to be ever-changing, while others remain unchanged for a long time, and Jackson falls into the second category. If you change his look, it will give fans and the market a completely new feeling. Even if he changes it back soon, it will not be the same. Will reap a wave of dividends,

Unfortunately, someone who can make Jackson compromise on this point has not yet appeared, and DiLeo feels that Amy may have such potential.

Chen Yang shrugged lightly, curled his lips and said, "Amy and I are just in a cooperative relationship. Her affairs are entirely up to her, so you don't need to ask me."

As soon as Di Leo heard this, he was ready to ask questions, but was stopped by Amy.

She said without looking back, "I have never planned to work abroad, but if Mr. Jackson is in China, I can help occasionally."

As the top stylist in the industry, and with no desire to become famous internationally, Jackson really didn't have much effect on her.

She already had money and enough fame. No matter how many icings on the cake, in her opinion, they were just adding trouble, so she refused very simply.

DiLeo raised his eyebrows, "Oh, that's such a shame!"

He was just acting on a whim, but being able to reject Jackson really surprised him.

Jackson is a little lucky. He doesn't mind making some changes in private, but on stage, he still hopes to retain his classic image.

In order to prevent DiLeo from continuing the topic, he quickly said, "Chen, I have a question and I want to ask you."

Chen Yang raised his head and raised his voice slightly, "What?"

Jackson pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "I was thinking, if I take your model, which is to let people around the world know about a certain place or something through my publicity, copy this to Africa. ,

For example, if I go to Ethiopia, the hometown of my ancestors, and do a program like this, is it possible to promote economic development there? "

Hearing this question, Chen Yang, who had already had some vague guesses, suddenly understood.

On the way here just now, Jackson was worried several times, and each time it was when he was introducing domestic development achievements.

Obviously these things reminded him of the distant African continent.

After pondering for two seconds, Chen Yang shook his head gently but firmly, "I don't think it's likely to succeed!"

"Why?"

This answer surprised Jackson. He almost stood up again, but luckily Amy suppressed him in time to keep the unfinished look.

Chen Yang stood up and walked behind him, and said seriously, "We have an old saying here, 'If you want to be rich, build roads first'!

No matter where you are, the traffic environment is the first factor restricting economic development. I say this, do you understand? "

After hearing these words, Jackson was immediately speechless.

He has been to Africa several times and knows what the traffic conditions are like in Africa.

Except for a few major cities, there are not even a few longer highways there. Many places are dirt roads.

Maybe for some people who like to hunt for novelties, that's not a big deal, but for more ordinary people, they really don't like bumps very much.

At this time Chen Yang said again,

“Travel and selling souvenirs both fall within the scope of tourism.

Frankly speaking, under normal circumstances, if a place is completely poor, it is not suitable for tourism development! "

Jackson looked at him in the mirror strangely, "Then you do it again?"

What he meant was that Chen Yang would use his fame to help develop some places in China.

This is obviously contrary to what he just said.

Chen Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm talking about normal circumstances, and this normal situation should not be viewed in isolation, but should be put into a larger environment.

Regarding the actual situation in our country, we have got rid of the most basic needs for food and clothing many years ago, so that more people can be liberated from agriculture.

It is with this huge labor force that we have completed industrial accumulation.

Therefore, the current general environment in our country is that we need to move to a higher level on the basis of agriculture and industry and vigorously develop the tertiary industry, including tourism.

And those poor areas are actually areas that have been left behind during the development of the primary and secondary industries due to various reasons.

Now we need to take advantage of the opportunities of the development of the tertiary industry and use other regions that already have a certain economic foundation to help them accelerate their development and get rid of poverty. "

A series of words made Jackson feel a little dizzy.

After being stunned for a long time, he said, "Well, you know, I don't understand economics, so my understanding may not be too accurate.

What you mean is that although those poor areas have nothing, the country as a whole does not, so you can definitely use people in other wealthy areas to help them get out of poverty.

Because you are members of the same country, there will be no problem in doing so.

But those people may not know it, or even if they know it, they may not like it.

And at this time, my role is needed,

At the same time, your complete infrastructure, including transportation and hotels, can also handle the influx of people.

But these conditions are not available in Africa.

do you mean this? "

Chen Yang gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Although it is not very accurate, it is basically correct. Perfect transportation, convenient facilities, and a safe enough public security environment are all essential guarantees for the tourism industry! "

This is said a bit euphemistically, but the implication is that these things are not available in Africa, especially public security. You can't let your fans travel thousands of miles to kill someone!

Well,

When Jackson got a positive answer, he couldn't help but look a little depressed, lowered his head and remained silent.

He knows very well what the situation is on the African continent. He has consulted many experts before. The common reply they gave him is that if there is no stable situation, safe environment, perfect transportation, and a sufficient number of educated people, otherwise It is difficult to develop the economy there.

And the reality is indeed this. Some of his previous investments in Africa have basically been in vain.

Today, I finally got from Boss Chen such an economic plan with low investment but quick results. However, it still cannot be implemented because the basic conditions in Africa are too poor. This really makes him a little disappointed.

At this time, Chen Yang suddenly said, "There is a saying in our country, 'Without investigation, there is no right to speak.' Only by adapting measures to local conditions can we make the most appropriate choice.

It just so happens that just a few days ago, I launched a plan to invest in Africa..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jackson stood up quickly, so fast that even Amy couldn't stop him.

He turned around suddenly and looked at Chen Yang with joy on his face, "You want to invest in Africa, where?"

Before coming here, Di Leo and the people around him had mentioned to him countless times that Chen Yang was a genius entrepreneur and he needed to have a good relationship with him as much as possible. This would be good for his career development.

Although Jackson believed that his career did not require anyone's help, he finally did not refuse because he was satisfied with Chen Yang's character and character.

Chen Yang is proficient in the concept of investment, but it has been deeply ingrained in his mind.

If Chen Yang could invest in Africa, he would never fail like he did!

Chen Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't be so excited. Sit down and let Amy continue working. I will tell you slowly."

Jackson smiled sheepishly, made an apologetic gesture to Amy, and then turned around and sat down.

But he still seemed a little impatient, "Are you really going to invest in Africa?"

"Of course, it won't be too soon, but it won't be too late either. It should be about half a year, and no more than a year at the latest,"

Chen Yang said, "We have a plan to help Africa develop its communications industry. We will develop mobile phones exclusive to Africans based on Africa's unique market needs, and start building local mobile phone manufacturing plants in Africa within a year.

When these factories are completed, its annual shipment volume will be around 200 million units and provide up to hundreds of thousands of jobs in Africa, including R\u0026D, logistics, production workers, transportation and sales personnel.

Once conditions are ripe, this company may become completely independent and become a local African enterprise! "

He was very aware of Jackson's African plot, so when he got the chance, he naturally boasted about it.

Of course, these things mentioned above will definitely come true, but what about the future?

God knows!

As expected, when Jackson heard Chen Yang's words, he was so happy that he showed his white teeth, "Hey, that sounds like a really good plan.

So, have you chosen a specific factory location? Where is it? "

One of Boss Chen's main businesses is communication equipment, that is, mobile phones. When he heard that he was going to build a mobile phone factory in Africa, Jackson no longer had any doubts.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "We will initially choose two places, one is Nigeria in West Africa, and the other is Ethiopia in East Africa.

Of course, there's also the need for on-the-ground inspections, and you know, this is going to be a multi-hundred-million-dollar investment, and we have to be very cautious. "

As soon as these words came out, Di Leo, who was sitting behind him, couldn't help but curl his lips.

Do you need to be very cautious with hundreds of millions of dollars?

Oh, I don’t know who it was, but it only took two minutes to throw out 200 million US dollars to buy movie shares.

So cautious!

When Jackson heard this, he was even more happy from ear to ear, "These two are good places. They are both located in the waist of Africa, and the distance from the north to the south is almost equal. Through these two places, we can reach the destination as quickly as possible." The products are shipped all over Africa.”

Chen Yang put his hands on the back of his chair and said with a smile, "Yes, it seems that you don't understand economics that much, so why do so many investments fail?"

Jackson's face suddenly froze, "Hey, Chen, if you hadn't mentioned this, we would still be good friends!"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Michael, there is an old saying in our country that you should specialize in your profession, and don't do anything beyond your capabilities.

For example, I don’t want to sing, and my advice to you is that it’s best not to decide on any investment by yourself! "

Jackson tilted his head, expressing a little helplessness.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "I know you really want to do something, but what I want to say is that you can use your strengths, such as fundraising and publicity, and then let more professional people do it. ideas,

If you really want to do something yourself, then, Michael,"

Chen Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Cherish this opportunity, I will take you to have a good look here and show you my plan.

Of course, this requires your cooperation, including the ongoing implementation of the African mobile phone factory, which will also need your cooperation next year.

But it is in this kind of resource integration that we can exert the power of one plus one to realize our ideas and help more people.

In the end, you will find that the world will become a better place! "

Although Boss Chen tried his best to lie today just to get Jackson to actively cooperate with his plan, at least there was not a single lie coming out of his mouth.

It was indeed for the cultural export plan that he invited Jackson here, but the charitable achievements he gained by the way were also real.

This should be considered sincere deception, right? !

The effect was also very obvious. Jackson was moved by Boss Chen's great sentiment and immediately said without hesitation,

"There is no problem. Where to go and how long it takes is all up to you. I will fully cooperate with your arrangements!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang and others were immediately overjoyed.

In this way, the upcoming Mayflower poverty alleviation project will be the icing on the cake!

DiLeo was shocked. Wouldn't it be terrible if Jackson was pulled by Boss Chen to use it for one or two years? !

However, Di Leo rolled his eyes, smiled quickly, and calmed down.

Anyway, Jackson often takes a year or two off, and one or two more years will be nothing.

On the other hand, Boss Chen, if he holds on to Jackson for too long, he will have to express his gratitude later when Jackson returns to the stage!

And for Jackson, he should also be satisfied that he can realize his charity dream.

That’s fine, everyone gets what they get, and no one loses!
