Chapter 528: Diamonds are forever, one will last forever

In the living room, everyone was seated as guests and hosts. The rest of the Guo family were no strangers to Mr. Zheng, so they mainly introduced Fang Mingyuan.

"Brother Zheng, this is Fang Mingyuan from Fengyuan City, Qinxi Province, mainland China. I think I am no stranger to his affairs, right?" Mr. Guo pulled Fang Mingyuan in front of Mr. Zheng and said.

"Brother Guo, this is the boy who has produced heroes since ancient times. I think back then, when we were his age, we were probably apprentices in the shop, learning how to do business from the master. But Mr. Fang, now he is

He is so rich! It puts us old guys to shame!" Mr. Zheng looked at Fang Mingyuan up and down for a while and said with a genuine smile.

"Grandpa Guo and Grandpa Zheng, you two are so proud of me. I am just lucky and have the help of Grandpa Guo and Sister Qiuxia, so I am lucky enough to achieve what I have today. Grandpa Zheng, you are still like Grandpa Guo."

Just call me Mingyuan. I don’t deserve the word Young Master Fang!" Fang Mingyuan said sincerely. His words were sincere. He just got the glory of rebirth, otherwise, he would still be in the capital now.

He is just a student from a third-rate school here, so how can he be qualified to stand in front of these two people.

"It is possible to be lucky once or twice in a person's life, but it is impossible to be lucky forever. If you want to be lucky forever, you must pay eternal 'diligence' and 'sincerity', and then luck will always be with you.

Mr. Fang... Haha, Mingyuan, it’s hard to explain your achievements in the past few years with the word luck." Mr. Zheng smiled and waved his hand, "As the saying goes, excessive modesty is

pride."

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head and laughed twice. He was obviously telling the truth, but others didn't believe him.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's appearance, everyone present couldn't help but laugh. Of course, there were also jealous people among them. You know, there are very few people in Hong Kong who can be so appreciated by Mr. Zheng.

"Mingyuan, I have actually heard about you for a long time, but to tell you the truth, I have always felt that this must be an exaggeration, but now it seems that I may have underestimated you before. Mr. Guo

Brother, the past two years have been smooth sailing. Even Qiu Xia, who is now the president of the famous Kumho Group and a rising star in the film industry, is probably mostly due to you. Here, I would like to congratulate you in advance.

You tell me, it seems that this year’s Hong Kong box office champion is none other than it! Hey, this is probably the best result we Hong Kong filmmakers have ever achieved in Hollywood.”

"Uncle Zheng, I made you laugh! This is all Mingyuan's credit, I was just helping out!" Yu Qiuxia said with a slight smile.

"Is this also due to Mingyuan?" Zheng Yutong asked curiously.

"The whole thing was negotiated by Mingyuan. All I needed to do in the end was to jointly invest with the American Kingfisher Film Company in the name of Kumho Film Co., Ltd." Yu Qiuxia smiled, "As for the rest,

affairs, then there won’t be any contribution from me!”

At this time, not only Zheng Yutong, but also the Guo family became curious. Although they had always known that Kumho Film Co., Ltd. was jointly invested by Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxia, why could they cooperate with

Kingfisher Film Company co-invested in "Terminator 2", but Yu Qiuxia has never mentioned it. Although the media has asked after the news was announced, Yu Qiuxia has always not announced it to the public on the grounds of commercial confidentiality.

.Although the Guo family is also curious, Mr. Guo has taken precautions and issued a ban. Unless Yu Qiuxia is willing to talk, no one is allowed to ask.

Therefore, it was not until today that they knew that it was Fang Mingyuan who played a decisive role in this matter!

"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yutong asked with emotion. These days, the most concerning thing in the Hong Kong business community is how high the global box office of "Terminator 2" will be. Only in Hong Kong

In one place, the box office has reached 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still rising as time goes by. And the news coming back from the United States is even more unbelievable. In a short period of time, the number of people in North America has

The total box office is close to 50 million U.S. dollars, and this is just the beginning. "Terminator 2", which has been released for less than a week, may have a total box office of more than 100 million U.S. dollars in North America alone. If you include Asia

In the European film market, even with the least optimistic estimates, it will not be a problem for Jade Bird Film Company and Kumho Film Co., Ltd. to recover their investment costs. Of course, more people believe that the final box office of "Terminator 2" will be

It is very likely to exceed 200 million US dollars, and combined with the income from derivative products, it is enough to ensure that the two companies will have a huge profit of tens of millions of dollars.

If you take into account that, after such a long period of heated discussions among movie lovers around the world, it is nothing more than free advertising for Kingfisher Film Company and Kumho Film Co., Ltd., making these two companies not very famous in the world.

The company has become a well-known film company, and its harvest has been so great that even the established film companies in Hollywood are jealous of it!

Although Zheng Yutong is not familiar with the working methods of the film industry, the basic principles between various business fields are the same. Zheng Yutong naturally understands what this "Terminator 2" will bring to Kumho Film Company.

There are so many benefits. Privately, he lamented more than once that Mr. Guo found a good wife and unexpectedly rose to prominence, becoming such a big name in the Hong Kong and world film circles in such a short period of time.

But he didn't expect that Yu Qiuxia would put all the credit on Fang Mingyuan!

Zheng Yutong looked at Fang Mingyuan and then at Yu Qiuxia in surprise. Suddenly something happened in his mind and he couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that the mysterious screenwriter and director is Mingyuan?"

Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar. Since the release of "Terminator 2", the most concerned person in the world has been the mysterious screenwriter and director-Fang! Whether it is the North American media or the Hong Kong media, everyone is speculating about this.

Who is the mysterious person who can be recognized by Cameron? Everyone has guessed all the famous directors and rookie directors in the world, but no one thought that it would be Fang Mingyuan!

Looking at everyone's surprised and incomprehensible expressions, Fang Mingyuan scratched his head and said: "Grandpa Zheng, I just helped Director Cameron a little bit in writing and directing, but in the end, Director Cameron had to add my name.

Go up. I didn’t know about this beforehand, and it wasn’t on the sample they sent.”

"How is this possible?" Mr. Guo's eldest son-in-law cried out. For a movie with such a huge influence, one of its screenwriters and directors would actually be a teenager! Although they had known for a long time,

Fang Mingyuan's business talent is very outstanding, and he is also a famous cartoonist and game script creator in Japan, but they still can't believe this fact!

"What does it mean to be impossible?" Mr. Guo said in a cold voice with a serious face, "As long as you concentrate on it, everything is possible! When I made up my mind to open a shipping company, some people said, 'How is that possible?

'If it weren't for Mingyuan's efforts in screenwriting and directing, why would Kingfisher Films and Director Cameron choose Kumho Film Co., Ltd. as a co-investor!"

Zheng Yutong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly clapped and laughed, "Mingyuan, it seems I still underestimated you! Well, I have a small test. If your answer satisfies me,

I have a great gift for you!"

"Grandpa Guo, this..." Fang Mingyuan looked at Mr. Guo with some embarrassment.

"I have an advertising slogan here, which is about diamonds. It was created by nw ayer, a famous New York advertising company, for the International Diamond Promotion Center in 1940. Now, the International Diamond Promotion Center plans to translate it into Chinese, but in the past six months, there has been no

A translated advertising slogan can satisfy the International Diamond Promotion Center. I will test you now. Please translate it for me. If your translation satisfies me, I will give you the jade Ruyi.

!”

"What is Jade Ruyi?" Mr. Guo asked in surprise.

"Look, this is it!" Yu Qiuxia quickly put the box in his hand in front of Mr. Guo, "Mingyuan bought this at Uncle Zheng's shop in the afternoon, and I plan to give it to you as a birthday gift!"

Mr. Guo opened the box casually and took out the Ruyi jade. He only looked at it for a few times and then his expression was slightly moved. The value of this Ruyi jade is not low. "Mingyuan, you kid, haha, you are not in vain.

I love you!" He originally thought that Fang Mingyuan was too extravagant, but then he thought about it, this guy is now a billionaire. He went to the Middle East and not only brought back a bunch of villas and a business jet, but he also has a fortune every year in the future.

With an income of tens of millions of dollars, although this jade Ruyi is expensive, it is nothing to him. The child is filial, so it is better not to hurt him. At worst, he can make up for it in other places.

"You have recognized a great grandson. This jade is Ruyi. It took the best master craftsman in Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop to carve it for a year! It can be called the jewel in my shop.

The treasure of the store." Zheng Yutong said with a smile, "This is a perfect birthday gift for my brother!"

"This kid is really interested!" Mr. Guo twisted his beard and smiled, but his heart was filled with joy. Fang Mingyuan was too embarrassed by this.

"Ahem! Listen carefully, the slogan is 'a diamond is forever', how about I give you half an hour?" Zheng Yutong said.

a diamond is forever! Fang Mingyuan opened his eyes wide in surprise. He was so familiar with this sentence!

"A diamond is forever" may not be known to many people, or it may be literally translated as "a diamond is forever." But when it comes to diamonds being forever, and a diamond being passed down forever, many people are familiar with it.

The International Diamond Promotion Center successfully entered China with the classic slogan "A diamond lasts forever, a diamond lasts forever", and after more than ten years, Chinese consumers began to widely accept diamond culture. Before that, China had no interest in diamonds.

It can be said that we know very little about it, the development of the diamond industry is not mature, and the concept of diamond culture is out of the question. The key to opening the door to this historic situation is the most famous advertising slogan of the 20th century: "A diamond is forever, a diamond is forever."

"Spread forever." This classic advertising slogan also changed the traditional situation of Chinese people wearing gold and jade at weddings, and then formed a new concept of Chinese newlyweds "no marriage without diamonds". The development of Chinese diamond culture was instantly

Activated, a new world-class diamond cultural market was established.

In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, this classic advertising slogan of the 20th century can be said to have spanned a century, impressing countless couples who were in love and making them look forward to the eternity of love. At the same time, they were attracted by the rare and precious diamond.

Deeply attracted by the "King of Gemstones".

But Fang Mingyuan remembered clearly that this advertising slogan should have been popularized in the 1990s. Why is Zheng Yutong still testing himself now? Could it be that history has changed slightly here?

Although Fang Mingyuan knew that in the future, in the land of China, newly married young men and women would almost never get married without diamonds. However, this requires a process and does not happen overnight. Therefore, although he purchased a large number of rough diamonds in the Soviet Union,

But there are no plans to put it on the market in the near future. In addition, in a few years, the Southeast Asian financial crisis will sweep across Southeast Asia and affect the whole world. Every time a large-scale economic crisis occurs, the luxury goods market will be hit hard, so

He only treats these rough diamonds as a store of value.

Moreover, he has been busy with many things over the past year and has no energy to take the initiative to develop China's diamond market. So his original plan is to wait until De Beers United Mining Company cultivates China's diamond market, and then he can take advantage of it.

Okay. So I don’t care much about the changes in the world diamond market.

Could it be said that history is playing a joke on itself again?

Fang Mingyuan frowned and thought hard.

Zheng Yutong looked Fang Mingyuan up and down carefully. In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart. As long as Fang Mingyuan's answer was reasonable, he would nod in approval. The reason why Zheng Yutong came to Guo's house today was very important.

The purpose is to get to know Fang Mingyuan.

Zheng Yutong has been operating in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia for many years. It can be said that Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop has expanded to the extreme and is in urgent need of new revenue growth points. However, if it develops to European and American countries, Japan and South Korea, it will face the challenges of these countries.

Despite the strong resistance from local companies, no one is sure whether Chow Tai Fook Jewelry & Gold Co., Ltd.'s senior managers can successfully enter the markets of these countries after a long period of debate.

So Zheng Yutong turned his attention to the northern mainland. It has the same ancestors and roots as Hong Kong, and its long-term isolation and economic backwardness have caused an almost devastating blow to the mainland's jewelry industry. It can be said that there is

A piece of unoccupied wasteland. And the market formed by the huge population in the mainland can be called the last virgin land for the jewelry industry in the world. If Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Goldsmiths can occupy the highland of the jewelry industry in the mainland, I am afraid that in the future,

For decades, there is no need to worry about developing markets.

Regarding Zheng Yutong's idea, the senior management of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop have different opinions. Although everyone agrees that the mainland is a huge market, they have different opinions on when this market will mature.

There are great differences. A large number of people are not willing to explore the Chinese market now. One of the important reasons is that there are many obstacles to entering the Chinese market. The Chinese government has extremely strict control over the jewelry industry! Entering rashly

, I’m afraid the possibility of loss is extremely high.

Zheng Yutong does not deny this. Entering the Chinese market today is indeed extremely risky, and you may lose all your money. But without risks, how can there be high returns and a huge market? If we wait until the Chinese government

Now that the attitude is clear, I am afraid that the big names in the jewelry industry from all over the world will swarm in like hungry wolves smelling blood. At that time, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold will have to face the challenges if it wants to enter the Chinese market.

There is fierce competition among peers all over the world! In order to reduce risks and increase the success rate of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold in entering China, choosing a strong partner from the mainland is undoubtedly a good choice.

Among these wealthy families in Hong Kong, the Guo family has very close ties with the mainland. This is well known. The Guo family not only has many investment projects in Qinxi Province, but also invested heavily in building ports on the northern coast of China, which can

It is said that they are ahead of many large companies in Hong Kong. The one who cooperates with the Guo family is the Fang family of Qinxi Province. Zheng Yutong also did some research on Fang Mingyuan. The more he knows, the more Zheng Yutong

The more he felt that the Fang family was not simple. In a short period of time, it was really amazing that he could start from scratch and reach the current situation. Moreover, the relationship between the Fang family and the Su family also surprised him.

How did a small family located in the northwest inland become related to a ministerial-level official of the Central Government of China?

While amazed, Zheng Yutong also realized that if the Zheng family could have a close relationship with the Fang family, it would definitely promote Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop's entry into the mainland market. At least, through the Fang family, Zheng Yutong would also

You can have a more accurate understanding of the economic environment in the mainland.

Therefore, after such a thing in the afternoon, Zheng Yutong felt that this was a good opportunity to get acquainted with the Fang family, so he paid a visit in the evening.

But he didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan was actually the mysterious screenwriter and director who had been hotly discussed by the media for so long. He came up with such an idea after an idea.

Fang Mingyuan thought about it and finally decided to give it a try. Anyway, if it had been there for a long time, the worst he could say was that he didn't know about it!

So he raised his head and said: "Grandpa Zheng, how about translating it into a diamond that lasts forever? How about one that lasts forever?"
