Because of Chen Wan, Li Mu got off work early in the afternoon and drove a commercial vehicle to the hotel where Chen Wan was staying.
Fortunately, paparazzi are not popular these days, and with Wang Yuanlang and the three of them protecting her all the way, they can basically avoid paparazzi trouble.
After Chen Wan learned that Li Mu had arrived at the hotel, she immediately came out of the room wearing a thick hat and mask and walked all the way to the hotel lobby.
Li Mu's business car was already waiting here. After Chen Wan got in the car, Wang Yuanlang immediately drove away from the hotel.
The glass of the business car is one-way, providing very good privacy. After getting in the car, Chen Wan took off her hat and mask with confidence and said to Li Mu: "If I had known I wouldn't listen to you, why would I be a host? What happened now?" Everywhere you go, it’s like a spy connection.”
Li Mu smiled and said: "Public figures receive such high attention, so their privacy is naturally not as guaranteed as that of ordinary people."
Chen Wan hummed and said, "I would have known better not to be a public figure. Once you become a public figure, it will not be so easy to go back to the past."
Li Mu smiled and said: "If you are tired or bored, just tell me, the position of general manager of Makino Imaging has been vacant for you, and it will be good to switch from the front to the back."
Chen Wan smiled like a flower and said: "I know you feel sorry for me, but I'd better wait a little longer and integrate more resources so that I can help Makino Imaging develop its business in the future."
Li Mu nodded: "It's up to you, do whatever you want, just don't wrong yourself because of me or your career."
"There is no grievance." Chen Wan said with a smile: "How many people envy me, but they can't envy me."
With that said, Chen Wan said to Li Mu seriously: "You don't know how powerful the entertainment industry is. I'm so young. Basically, except for the leaders of the station and the executives of other entertainment companies, most of the artists will take care of me when they see me." Even those who are a few years older than me would call me sister. I couldn’t get used to it at first, but later I realized that the entertainment industry is like this. When people rank seniority, what they compare is not seniority, age, or time in the industry. , but about reputation and resources. Whoever has more resources behind him is the elder sister or elder brother."
Li Mu smiled and said: "If you don't adapt, you should have less contact with them in the future. I think for you, you don't have to look for resources in the entertainment industry. The resources in the entertainment industry will naturally find you. When you arrive at Makino Image, Becoming the master and allocator of industry resources will put you at a higher level than them. At that time, in their eyes, you will no longer be a brother or sister who needs to be respected, but a god who cannot be reached and can only be looked up to. "
In his previous life, Boss Ma was surrounded by celebrities from all walks of life all day long, and countless flowers rushed to pursue his already yellowing leaf. The reason was not because the resources in the boss's hands were too strong, so that the Yingying Yanyan in the entertainment industry Have to look up
In this life, Li Mu is not going to be like Boss Ma, hanging out with a bunch of actors all day long. In his opinion, he should be at a higher level than this. Therefore, in the future, Chen Wan will be arranged to work under Boss Ma. For that role, it would be enough for her to go to the entertainment industry and respond to everything.
In Li Mu's future plan, Makino Imaging is not just a film and television entertainment company. All theaters under the Makino Technology Industry will also be classified under the Makino Imaging umbrella. In the future, Wanying Plaza developed by Wanying Real Estate will open There are countless Wanying Cinemas, and Makino Video will also hold at least 49% of these cinemas.
This is not enough.
I will also bring all the resources of Hollywood, global online ticketing, music records and pre-YYTunes resources into Makino Image, and pile it up into a giant in the entertainment industry. By that time, Makino Image alone will Xiang can become a company worth hundreds of billions, and by that time, it can become the aircraft carrier of the entire entertainment industry.
And all of this, Li Mu hopes to be controlled by Chen Wan, so that she can truly stand at the top of the entertainment industry. The reason why he spares no effort to improve her resources and status is for no other reason than that she is his woman.
Wang Yuanlang drove the car into the courtyard of Ziyun Villa. Li Ziwei's car was also parked in the courtyard at this time. Chen Wan asked curiously: "Whose car is this?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's from Ziwei."
Just as he was talking, Li Ziwei opened the door and walked out of the villa. When she saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Li, Miss Chen, I have bought the ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. If you need anything else, please feel free to contact us. I."
Chen Wan waved her hand shyly: "Thank you for your hard work, Ziwei."
"That's right." Li Ziwei said with a smile, "Then I won't bother you."
After saying that, Li Ziwei looked at Li Mu with solicitous eyes. When Li Mu nodded slightly, she took out her car keys, opened the door and got in.
Watching Wang Yuanlang and Li Ziwei drive away one after another, Li Mu gently held Chen Wan's waist and said, "Let's go in."
Chen Wan nodded, blushing slightly and said, "It's quite embarrassing to see Ziwei in this situation."
Li Mu said casually: "What's so embarrassing about this? It's not like she doesn't know about our affairs."
"Yes." Chen Wan stuck out her tongue and said, "Isn't she my aunt's goddaughter? She can also be regarded as your god sister. If you talk about our affairs, will she tell her to her aunt?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Li Mu said seriously: "Ziwei is very measured in what she does. She is much more mature than other girls of the same age, and she has enough professionalism. She knows what to say and what not to say."
"Yes." Chen Wan nodded shyly and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "You said you are going to the United States in the near future. Why are you suddenly interested in the automobile industry?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "The bigger the Internet becomes, the less interesting it becomes, so I really want to engage in industry. Besides, what man is not interested in industry? Especially cars, so I thought, while I'm young, I'll do it while I'm young. Now is the right time, so get started quickly, don’t wait until you lose the energy in a few years and you won’t be able to do it even if you want to.”
As the two of them talked, they had already entered the villa. Li Mu took Chen Wan straight to the kitchen, and took out the ingredients that Li Ziwei had bought into categories and prepared them. While Chen Wan was helping, he said: "I used to listen to my cousin and the others talking. When we chatted about cars, everyone was very interested. They all liked cars and cared about the automobile industry. I think they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the local automobile industry and its level. My cousin once said that China Future It’s impossible to produce an independent sports car in twenty years, are you the same as them?”
Li Mu thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right. Everyone is very patriotic and has a strong sense of national pride. Our country has developed rapidly in recent years, but the independent automobile industry has always been criticized. In the past, we wanted to exchange technology with the market, but the exchange came back. The technology has not helped domestic automobile companies grow better. Domestic automobile companies are either focusing on joint ventures or still competing in the field of low-end cars. This time I want to take advantage of the public’s awareness of domestically produced cars. It has not been solidified, so we should seize the time to open up the mid-to-high-end market.”
In 2004, the development of private cars had not really entered a rhythm.
If by 2014, private cars are already everywhere.
In Li Mu's view, the next ten years will be a golden decade for China's automobile industry.
China's automobile industry refers to the improvement of automobile manufacturing, sales and ownership in China as a whole.
It is closely related to people buying and using cars, but the scope of this "Chinese car" has little to do with manufacturing, and more to do with sales.
Therefore, the next ten years, as well as the previous life, will also be the lost golden decade for domestically produced cars.
In the past ten years, no domestic brands have achieved any real breakthroughs. Brands that are capable of leading domestic brands to achieve breakthroughs are busy with joint ventures with automobile companies from the United States, Japan, Germany and other countries. Volkswagen, Liangda, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and General Motors are Make a lot of money at home.
It is precisely because in the next ten years, the domestic automobile market will be dominated by joint venture cars and imported cars, so the public will gradually be left with the solid concept that domestically produced cars are not good, joint venture cars are good, and imported cars are better.
After this solidified concept was formed, domestically produced cars came with a kind of buff that was despised or looked down upon.
With the same configuration and performance, if Volkswagen sells it for 150,000, domestic cars generally sell for over 100,000.
If it were higher, people would ask: "I have this money, why don't I buy Volkswagen?"
It is also this solid concept that makes people instinctively unwilling to consider domestic cars once they have a budget of more than 100,000.
In the eyes of many people, spending more than 100,000 yuan to buy a domestic car is a bad idea. They will ask: "Why not buy a Japanese model? Why not buy a German model? Why not buy an American model?"
Or they may ask: "What's so good about domestically produced cars? Isn't it just that the configurations are a little higher? The quality is not good, the three major parts are not good, the value retention rate is not good, in short, everything is not good.
Once the public develops this kind of thinking inertia, it will be too difficult for domestically produced cars to buck the trend and rise amidst such contempt.
At least, before Li Mu's rebirth, I had never heard of any domestic brand that didn't focus on cost-effectiveness.
If a brand must rely on cost-effectiveness to survive, this means that the brand itself does not have enough brand premium.
This is what Li Mu doesn't want to see again.
Therefore, he had to seize the time and let the domestic people see the rise of domestic brands at the beginning of the golden decade.
The purpose of acquiring Ford's three sub-brands is just to gather technology, talents and ready-made production lines, and use them to jointly cultivate a purely domestic brand. This is Li Mu's biggest idea.
Maybe next year, or the year after that, the "Makino Aurora" produced by China will be launched globally, as well as the "Makino E-class, S-class" cars, "Makino LC-class" cars, "Makino Rongfang" and "Makino Atez" , and even all the good-looking and best-selling models in the next ten years or so, whether they are new or revised, they are all fucking their own!
At that time, every car produced by Makino must have a good appearance, a good interior, and good performance. If it still fails to work, it is simply outrageous.
