Chapter 850 The Development of Baihuifeng (Two in One)

Monday morning.

Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Baihui left the villa together and went to Baihuifeng Co., Ltd.

Lin Baicheng came here today to inspect the company in the name of the company's major shareholder to see how the company is developing.

Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. has been established for two years, and the company has all the departments.

Not to mention the existing human resources department and finance department, the performance department composed of artists has also been there from the beginning. In addition to the must-support Matsuda Seiko, the company also trained several trainees at the beginning.

Because there are artists and they need to train artists, the procurement department for purchasing related equipment has been there from the beginning, and the internal control department for managing artists has also been established from the beginning.

Later, as Matsuda Seiko became popular, the company established the planning and production department, customer service department, and marketing department.

In addition, there are the screenwriting department, production department, and distribution department established by Yamaguchi Baihui in order to turn to the backstage and invest in movies and TV series.

These are the current departments of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd.

Compared with the few big cats and small cats when the company was first established, now the company not only has many departments, but also has hundreds of employees, which can be regarded as a medium-sized company in the circle.

Moreover, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. has an advantage that other entertainment companies do not have, that is, the company is not short of money. The company is making money now, but the shareholders did not take the profits away, but put them all into the development of the company; and even if the company loses money, there are major shareholders to cover the bottom and continue to invest.

In this way, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. will have more room for trial and error in the process of development.

Of course, compared with those companies in the circle that have been developed for more than ten or even decades, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is still far behind. If it wants to become a leading company in the circle, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. still has a long way to go.

Lin Baicheng inspected various departments of the company under the leadership of Yamaguchi Baihui and the company's president Ida Hiroshi. He was not here to cause trouble, so the company was notified in advance and showed the best side of the company to him.

Lin Baicheng didn't take this company very seriously. The company was usually supervised by Yamaguchi Momoe, so he only needed to come and take a look occasionally. If there was really a problem with the company, Yamaguchi Momoe would naturally tell him privately, so there was no need for him to make a surprise visit.

After visiting each department in turn, Lin Baicheng came to the performance department, which was the department that managed the artists.

All the artists who were signed and trained by the company, as long as they were in the company, came.

"Hello, Miss Nakajima Miyuki, I heard about you from Keiko, welcome to join the company."

Among the artists, Nakajima Miyuki was also there, and Lin Baicheng shook hands with her. This was the first time he met Nakajima Miyuki in real life.

The last time Nakajima Miyuki went to Hong Kong for a concert, Lin Baicheng had something to do, so he didn't go, so the two did not meet. Of course, ATV later broadcast the grand scene of the concert, so he saw it on TV.

However, what you see on TV is completely different from seeing her in person.

"Hello, Director Lin."

Nakajima Miyuki knew that the young man in front of her was the mysterious man behind Yamaguchi Momoe.

Yamaguchi Momoe suddenly quit the entertainment circle and turned to the backstage, and also became a shareholder and chairman of a company. This matter has a great impact in the circle, and many people want to know the truth.

Nakajima Miyuki is also one of the curious people. Before, she only knew that the man behind Yamaguchi Momoe was a Hong Konger, but she didn't know who he was. However, she had guessed that it was a married man or an old man, but she never expected it to be a young and handsome man.

"Cheng Jun, this is Junko, an artist who has just signed a contract with the company not long ago."

Yamaguchi Momoe then introduced Lin Baicheng to a woman next to Nakajima Miyuki. She was in her twenties, with short hair and a similar image to Yamaguchi Momoe. Although she was not absolutely beautiful, female artists who could mix in the entertainment industry were usually not bad in terms of appearance.

From Yamaguchi Momoe's introduction, Lin Baicheng learned that Sakurada Junko debuted at about the same time as her. Previously, Yamaguchi Momoe, Sakurada Junko and a female artist named Mori Masako were collectively known as the "Flower Trio".

Being able to be compared with Yamaguchi Baihui, it can be seen that Sakurada Junko and Mori Masako are definitely not bad.

"Hello, Miss Sakurada, welcome to join the company."

"Hello, Director."

Lin Baicheng and Sakurada Junko shook hands.

Lin Baicheng then looked at the artists trained by the company. These people are actually still interns. Although some of them have debuted, their star journey cannot be compared with Matsuda Seiko, who became popular as soon as they debuted. They are still at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

It can be said that among the artists of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., except for Nakajima Miyuki and Sakurada Junko who signed contracts from outside, only Matsuda Seiko is considered a star, and the other women have not made any achievements.

Lin Baicheng did not find any familiar names or very beautiful interns among them, so he just took a quick look and encouraged them a few words.

Lin Baicheng just took a simple look at the various departments of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., so he finished this inspection in less than a morning.

After the inspection, in Yamaguchi Baihui's office, Yamaguchi Baihui asked Lin Baicheng for some suggestions, and Lin Baicheng decided to say a few words.

"It can be seen that the company has done a good job in management. In terms of development, they have signed contracts with Nakajima Miyuki and Sakurada Junko, and I believe it will develop well."

Lin Baicheng said: "But in terms of training newcomers, you are not doing well enough. Except for the achievements of the Holy Son, the others are not very good."

"Makoto-kun, what do you mean, increase the training of new people?" Yamaguchi Momoe asked after hearing this.

"You could say that."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "You can give them more opportunities and resources, but the company cannot invest all the time. You can make a plan. After investing in an artist to a certain extent, if you still can't achieve results, then give up on her. Either this artist has no future, or the company’s training direction is wrong, and she is not suitable for the company. It would be good for the company and herself to resolve it.”

"Makoto-kun, I took note of it."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded slightly, obviously listening.

Seeing this, Lin Baicheng continued: "The company can recruit more talent scouts, or establish more contacts with other talent scouts, so that they can bring the good talents they find into the company. Don't be stingy with the investment in this area. Also, if you find other companies If there is a good talent and a newly debuted artist, if you think it is good, you can hire it at a high price. Although the investment is larger, the risk is relatively small. "

Speaking of this, Lin Baicheng reminded: "By the way, the contract signed between the company and the newcomer should have a higher liquidated damages to prevent the company from finally cultivating an outstanding newcomer, only to be poached by other companies. "

"The liquidated damages in the contract between the company and the artist have been increased a lot, and no company will come to poach people."

Momoe Yamaguchi who heard this said: "Not long after Seiko became famous, a company contacted her privately and wanted to poach her, promising her many generous conditions. She then immediately reported the matter After telling me, I discussed it with President Ida and then re-drafted the contract with the artist and increased the compensation that the artist needs to pay for breach of contract.”

"Want to poach the Holy Son? Then they are looking for the wrong person."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile. Putting aside the relationship between him and Seiko Matsuda, Seiko Matsuda would not choose to leave Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. based on financial considerations alone.

Lin Baicheng not only gave Matsuda Seiko a villa, but also gave Matsuda Seiko several million yen in monthly pocket money. What's more, the contract signed between Matsuda Seiko and Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. itself was Matsuda Seiko's advantage. She can get a much higher share than a newcomer. As long as she is not stupid, she will not leave Baihuifeng Co., Ltd.

"yes."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded in agreement, but she just found the wrong person.

Lin Baicheng looked at Yamaguchi Momoe and said, "Keiko, don't you want to be a producer? Will the company increase its investment in movies and TV series in the future?"

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded: "If the company wants to develop and grow, it must make a difference in film and television production."

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said: "If you want to make a difference in this field, the best way to recruit an outstanding producer from the industry is to join the company. It would be best if Mingdao joins the company. If there are outstanding talents willing to join the company, In fact, you can promise them option rewards. Iwasaki-kun and I can use part of the shares as option pool rewards to the company’s management and outstanding talents who have made significant contributions to the company.”

In the production of film and television dramas, it is very important to have directors who can produce blockbuster works.

First of all, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the most important thing is that the company can make money only if it is produced.

Then, the best-selling works can usually make the stars who star in them popular, so the company's artists can become popular through their works.

If an actor becomes popular and becomes a big star, he or she can make money through commercial roles, endorsements, advertising, etc., thereby creating profits for the company.

Finally, if the company can promote its own stars and has the ability to create stars, it will naturally attract other stars or outstanding newcomers to join, improve the company's competitiveness, and earn more profits for the company.

That’s why I say how important a director who can produce good works is to a film and television company.

"Mr. Cheng, I should be the one to provide the reward shares."

After hearing this, Yamaguchi Momoe immediately said that she holds 20% of the company's shares, which are basically equivalent to what Lin Baicheng gave her.

"When the time comes, let's all take some of it together and distribute it proportionally."

Looking at Yamaguchi Momoe, Lin Baicheng thought for a while and then said, "Keiko, when the next equity change occurs, I will give part of the shares to Shengzi. I will tell you about this in advance."

"I understand, Makoto-kun."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded to express her understanding. She knew what Lin Baicheng meant.

"Thank you for understanding, Keiko."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He would definitely give Matsuda Seiko some compensation. This compensation could not just be giving her more pocket money every month, but treating her fairly.

Since Lin Baicheng gave Yamaguchi Momoe shares, even if he did not give her shares in Matsuda Seiko Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., he would still give her shares in another company, and the value of the shares given could not be lower, at least not as high as the value given to Yamaguchi. Momoe's is too low.

In Lin Baicheng's heart, Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko have equal status in his heart, so he must treat them fairly.

"Keiko, regarding the development of the company, these are my suggestions. You can analyze the specifics based on the actual situation and what should be done. You should listen more to the company's management. They are responsible for the actual work and may give more suggestions than Mine is more suitable for the company.”

Lin Baicheng knew that the most he could give was some general suggestions, but not more detailed ones. After all, he is in Hong Kong and is not familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry, so the advice given may be unrealistic.

"Okay, Makoto-kun."

Yamaguchi Momoe responded and expressed her understanding.

Lin Baicheng said: "Huizi, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm going to Zhiyin Comics in the afternoon."

Yamaguchi Momoe looked at her watch: "Makoto-kun, it's almost lunch time now, why don't we have lunch together before we leave?"

"Okay, then I'll wait and have lunch before leaving."

Lin Baicheng looked at his watch and didn't refuse.

After that, Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe no longer talked about the company, but talked about some things in life.

Lin Baicheng also cared about Shimoyamaguchi Momoe's family. Her mother and sister were living well now. As for her irresponsible father, he no longer disturbed her. She was very satisfied with her current life.

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng felt relieved, as long as he was satisfied with his current life.

At noon, when Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe went out to eat, personal secretary Uchida Asami reported something to him.

Not long ago, the secretary of President Miki Yota of TV Asahi called and said that President Miki had learned that Lin Baicheng had come to Tokyo for a rare occasion. President Miki wanted to invite Lin Baicheng to have dinner with him and asked if Lin Baicheng was here. there is no time.

Lin Baicheng asked: "Did President Miki just want to have dinner together?"

"That's what Chairman Miki's secretary said." Asami Uchida replied.

"In this case, you call me back and tell me that I don't have time in the past two days. Make an appointment with President Miki for dinner on the evening of the 11th. If he doesn't have time that day, you can talk to me again."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said, since he and Miki Yaota have deepened their cooperative relationship, it is difficult to refuse the invitation directly.

"Yes, Chairman."

Asami Uchida responded.

After Uchida Asami left, Yamaguchi Momoe asked curiously: "Makoto-kun, what would President Miki want to do with you?"

"This is not known yet."

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "But what is certain is that this is not just about eating. There must be something you want to tell me." It was just a matter of purely connecting with each other and deepening the relationship. Lin Baicheng thought about this possibility, but felt that it should Not big.

"That's it."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded when she heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe had lunch together. After the meal, the two separated, and Lin Baicheng went to Zhiyin Comics Company.
