We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Su Cheng chatted with Jodie Foster about their recent situations and mutual longing for each other for a good half hour before hanging up.

Su Cheng wanted to understand more about Nami Entertainment's market expansion in Dongying.

After all, he hoped that Nami Entertainment could become a Hollywood giant.

And a Hollywood giant represents a world entertainment giant.

During this time, Nami Entertainment, although relying on the movie scripts and songs provided by Su Cheng, had made great progress. Its market in the United States was not inferior to DreamWorks, Walt Disney Company, 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, and other Hollywood giants. Even its market in Europe had gradually caught up.

However, in the Asian market, Nami Entertainment clearly still had a very obvious gap with these Hollywood giants. These gaps could not be caught up in a short period of time. Market expansion takes time.

Now, Nami Entertainment had the resources, but lacked fame.

If it wanted to become a world giant, fame was very important. It needed to make everyone subconsciously think of Nami Entertainment when they thought of entertainment companies. Only then would it truly reach the ranks of world giants.

Therefore, after hanging up with Jodie Foster, Su Cheng did not leave the room directly, but made another call.

This time, he wanted to call Alfred Tom, the current president of Nami Entertainment.

This new president, who Su Cheng hired after acquiring Nami Entertainment, was now a rising star in Hollywood. He was making great strides in the entertainment industry, and in a short period of over half a year, he had continuously improved Nami Entertainment's overall strength. In terms of strength, it could now basically be on par with the five major Hollywood companies, except for some distance in the overseas market compared to the real giants of Hollywood. After these shortcomings were made up, Nami Entertainment would truly belong to a giant-level entertainment enterprise.

Alfred Tom had worked at Paramount Pictures for 21 years, serving as department head, branch general manager, chief operating officer of the head office, and so on.

Alfred Tom's career was very simple, almost all at Paramount Pictures, so he had a deep understanding of film companies.

Because of a major conflict with the company's biggest signed actor, the big-name signed actor directly issued a public statement, saying that Paramount Pictures could only choose one of them!

In the end, the company's main investors chose to support the actor, and Alfred Tom was forced to leave Paramount Pictures.

Therefore, since coming to Nami Entertainment, Alfred Tom's goal was to bring Nami Entertainment up and make Nami Entertainment's position and strength surpass Paramount Pictures, and slap those investors in the face!

Although it should be almost 7:00 PM over in the United States, Su Cheng guessed that with Alfred Tom's personality, he was probably still working overtime.

Los Angeles did not yet have a mobile communication network, so Su Cheng could only hope that he was in the office or at home.

If he was outside, it would be basically difficult for Su Cheng to find him, and he could only contact him after he returned home or to the office.

The phone rang for a few seconds before someone answered.

The phone number Su Cheng dialed was Alfred Tom's personal office phone number.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only he would answer the phone.

As expected, the phone was indeed answered by Alfred Tom, who took the lead in asking on the other end of the phone: "I'm Alfred, may I ask who this is?"

"Mr. Tom, this is Su Cheng, am I disturbing your off-work time?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

The two had not actually communicated too many times. Sanyang Headhunting Company was responsible for finding him in the first place, and then Yang Chaoye personally helped Su Cheng interview this presidential applicant.

In the end, he became the first president of Nami Entertainment after Su Cheng took over.

Yang Chaoye's vision was naturally very good. After Alfred Tom became the helm of Nami Entertainment, he quickly raised the company to a new level. The company's management ability was very strong.

Therefore, Su Cheng generally only needed to obtain the specific situation of Nami Entertainment through relevant personal channels. The two of them basically only contacted each other once every one or two months.

"So it's the boss, good evening boss, no, according to the time difference, it should be more than 10:00 AM in Hong Kong at this time, right?" Alfred Tom answered the phone without looking at the number, so he thought that Su Cheng was calling him from Hong Kong.

Alfred Tom went to Hong Kong, Bay Bay, Dama, and Xinjiapo with his top stars in January to develop the Chinese market, and spent nearly half a month in Asia, so he knew the time difference between there and the United States very well.

"You're wrong about that. I'm not in Hong Kong now, but in Tokyo, Dongying," Su Cheng explained.

"Well, I know about this. Jodie has already told me, but I won't be staying here for long. I'll go back to Hong Kong in a while," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"By the way, boss, did you call me because you have something important?" Alfred Tom asked.

"It's not anything important. I just wanted to ask how our Nami Entertainment's branch in Dongying is doing and where the office is located. I happen to be in Dongying, so I'll just go and take a look," Su Cheng replied.

"Because the Dongying branch is mainly focused on promoting our movies and songs from the United States, the progress is very slow. The general manager of the branch has discussed with me, and the result of the discussion is that if we want to gain a foothold in the Dongying market, we must localize the branch and cultivate top Dongying artists belonging to Nami Entertainment here. Only in this way can we compete with other Dongying entertainment companies faster.

Currently, the branch has already started to take action. I will go there next month to make some arrangements for the development of the branch. As for the address of the Dongying branch, it is located at 6-3-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The general manager's phone number is * * * * * *,"

Alfred Tom quickly gave Su Cheng the information he wanted.
