Chapter 203: 201, Is a business opportunity coming?
After a Japanese meal, WangGui was stuffed.
Large and burly, he alone could eat as much as two people.
WangGui suggested, "Shall we take a stroll around here to digest our food first?"
Li Hu spoke up, "I think that's a good idea. I must maintain a perfect figure."
Luofeng joked, "WangGui, I suspect you just want to check out the beauties. Just be honest about it!"
Luofeng knew that there were plenty of beauties around the Guojin Center.
WangGui touched his head. "Brother Feng saw right through me! Alright, I'll drop the act. I just came to look at the pretty girls."
"Let's go, let's go! Let's check out the beauties together!" Li Hu also got excited, shouting.
Luofeng and WangGui tactfully distanced themselves from him, clearly not wanting to be associated with such a person. What was all that wailing and shrieking on the street about?
But just at that moment, the voice prompt from Luo Feng's System arrived.
[DING! Reminder: A commercial opportunity for the Host has appeared.]
[Commercial Opportunity One: Shiseido is preparing to acquire the documentary of the Anessa military training for promotional purposes. The specific price will be determined upon closing the deal.]
[Commercial Opportunity Two: After completing Commercial Opportunity One, more detailed Information will be obtained.]
After seeing the System's prompt, Luofeng smiled and said, "Anyone interested in checking out the film school?"
"Definitely! We must!" WangGui was the first to declare his interest.
"Perfect. We ate a lot, so we can walk around there and digest," Li Hu nodded.
"You sound like a true gentleman," Luofeng laughed.
Soon, the three of them took a taxi to the film school.
Luofeng then messaged Hu Yong, saying he was coming in person to push for updates and bringing "hired muscle." If Hu Yong hadn't finished post-production, it would turn into an on-site nagging session.
Hu Yong naturally knew it was a joke. However, he played along by sending a trembling emoji.
Less than ten minutes later, the group arrived at the film university.
Luofeng didn't ask Hu Yong to meet them; instead, he just asked for the address of the multimedia classroom Hu Yong had mentioned.
Another ten minutes passed, and the three men found Hu Yong.
"Senior Hu, have you completed the editing task?"
"Hahaha, just kidding! Here, I brought cold drinks for everyone. Have some," Luofeng said, then, changing the subject, pointed to what WangGui was holding.
In the multimedia classroom, besides Hu Yong, there were four other people.
Luofeng had bought over a dozen cold drinks, enough for everyone.
Hu Yong didn't stand on ceremony and distributed the drinks. "Actually, Junior Luo, if you hadn't contacted me, I was about to contact you anyway. We're almost done, and I'll need you to look over the specifics in a bit."
"Alright, I'm looking forward to it!" Luofeng said with a smile.
While Luofeng was discussing the documentary with Hu Yong in the multimedia room, WangGui and Li Hu said they wanted to leave for a walk.
Those two are such old lechers! Off to see the beauties at the film school, are they? Luofeng thought.
Meanwhile, Hu Yong played the Anessa military training documentary. There were two versions: one lasting a minute and the other three minutes long.
After watching, Luofeng commented, "Not bad at all!"
Hu Yong sighed in relief. Luofeng's approval was good, as it meant he would receive the final payment.
This was typical for senior students; their labor wasn't highly valued, and they often worried about not getting paid. After all, clients frequently held back the final payment from inexperienced students who hadn't yet entered the professional world. Such final payments could easily be pocketed under any flimsy pretext.
"I'll need two finished videos and all the raw Materials, no problem, right?" Luofeng asked.
"Of course, no problem!" Hu Yong nodded.
Within about a minute, Hu Yong handed Luofeng a Mobile Hard Disk. "Junior, this Mobile Hard Disk cost 2,000 yuan. You have to remember to return it to me," he said, then chuckled slyly.
"Haha, no way I'm returning this! Thanks for the Gift, Senior!" Luofeng immediately transferred the final payment via WeChat, adding an extra 2,000 yuan on top.
Return it? It makes more sense to just buy it. Why waste time?
"Uh..." Seeing this, Hu Yong was also left speechless. Money really does let you do whatever you want.
"Is there anything else?" Luofeng asked.
Hu Yong shook his head, then inquired, "Regarding this promotional video we shot, how is Anessa planning to use it to advertise their brand?"
To be fair, Hu Yong's rates for labor and editing were very low. He was most concerned with how Anessa planned to promote their work. If Anessa launched a large-scale promotion for the video they shot, it would be a huge win for him and an impressive addition to his resume.
"Regarding that, I can't give you an answer yet. I'll have to contact Anessa first and then let you know."
"Alright then!" Hu Yong nodded.
"We'll be in touch. See you later, Senior!"
Luofeng waved goodbye and left the multimedia classroom.
Just then, he received a WeChat call from Meng Xiaojiao of the Anessa store in Taikoo Li.
"Hello, Manager Meng!"
"Mr. Luo, hello. Do you have time right now?"
Actually, Meng Xiaojiao had already received a notification from Shiseido to acquire the military training documentary Luofeng possessed. At first, I thought Mr. Luo was just a fool with more money than sense. It seems I was stuck on the ground floor while he was already in the stratosphere. This guy... he's too deep.
"I certainly have time. Is there something you need, Manager Meng?" Luofeng asked, feigning ignorance.
Meng Xiaojiao felt a bit awkward but still took a minute to explain her purpose.
Upon hearing this, Luofeng nodded. "Since you want to acquire it, how much are you offering?"
"This..." Meng Xiaojiao hesitated, then countered, "Mr. Luo, what is your ideal price?"
This military training documentary can't be sold for too high a price; it's too easy to replicate. If Mr. Luo asks for too much, Shiseido definitely won't accept it. After all, he has already shown how it can be done. If the price is too high, Shiseido could just find students from another school to make one. It would take a little time, but surely that's better than overpaying? If his price is reasonable, then we won't have to go through all that extra trouble.
"Three hundred thousand!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, but we at Anessa cannot accept this price," Meng Xiaojiao said, shaking her head. "We at Anessa are very sincere. If you're willing to accept one hundred thousand..."
"Let's each take a step back. How about two hundred thousand? If it's less than that, Anessa can just film it themselves," Luofeng chuckled.
"Please give me a moment." Faced with Luofeng's firm stance, Meng Xiaojiao fell silent for a few seconds, then added, "I need to consult my superiors."
"Okay!"
Luofeng nodded and then hung up the phone.
About five minutes later, Meng Xiaojiao called back. "Mr. Luo, our superiors have agreed, but we need all of your shooting Materials!"
"No problem. I'll include all of that as a bonus. There are two videos: one is one minute long, and the other is three minutes. I've watched them both; you can use them directly as advertisements," Luofeng said with a smile.
"Mr. Luo, you're truly impressive! Shooting a video like this, preparing everything for us so thoroughly... It seems you've had this planned for a long time! I couldn't understand why you were doing it before," Meng Xiaojiao said with a laugh.
