Chapter 597 Dream Manor
Chapter 597: Neverland
Lin Feng understood what Avril meant as soon as he heard it.
"Avril, do you want me to help Michael Jackson repay this debt?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Yeah! But it's not repayment, it's just to help him turn around. You don't know, the annual interest on this debt was 20%, 270 million US dollars, and the debt had to be repaid 54 million US dollars every year." Avril said helplessly.
In recent years, almost half of the money Michael Jackson has earned has been used to repay interest. As for the principal, he cannot repay it at all, unless he sells real estate or copyright. But whether it is copyright or real estate, Michael Jackson cannot give up, especially copyright.
This will undoubtedly benefit the black-hearted record companies.
The market value of 50% of the copyrights of Sony Records is about 1.2 billion US dollars, but if Michael Jackson is used as collateral, it is only worth 270 million. This is too dark!
"Well, Avril, let me talk to Michael about this later, okay!" Lin Feng nodded, but did not directly agree. Michael Jackson is the King of Pop and has his own dignity, so he rashly went up and said
Help him repay the loan, but he may not appreciate it.
Avril nodded slightly after hearing this. She was so enthusiastic this time because, firstly, she was sympathetic to Michael Jackson's experience, secondly, she admired Michael Jackson's courage to challenge the unspoken rules of the recording industry, and thirdly, it was also because since her debut,
Michael Jackson had always taken good care of her and reciprocated his kindness. She should also help Michael Jackson, especially this debt was nothing to Lin Feng.
At this time, the car stopped.
"Hey, Lin, we're here. This is the surprise I told you. Look, our - Neverland." Avril proudly pointed to a manor down the hill and said.
Lin Feng got out of the car and was shocked. Following Avril's gesture, he saw that this manor covers an extremely large area, roughly estimated to be at least ten square kilometers. Not only does it have lakes and sports fields, but Lin Feng actually saw a skyscraper.
There were wheels and merry-go-rounds, and what was even more outrageous was that Lin Feng actually saw giraffes and camels.
"Avril, this is..." Lin Feng asked in surprise.
"Hehe, this is the Neverland Manor I just bought. How about it? It's not bad. It has almost everything in it. It's like an independent happy kingdom." Avril hugged Lin Feng's arm and said proudly.
Neverland! Lin Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He remembered that Michael Jackson also had a Neverland. Legend has it that everything he sees now is also in it. It is one of the most luxurious personal residences in the United States. Could it be...
"Hehe, Lin, you guessed it right. This is Michael's Dream Manor. But he hasn't lived in it for a long time, and the maintenance fee of nearly 3 million US dollars per year is something he can't afford for the time being. Plus, he lives here.
Bad memories (in the 1993 child prostitution case, in order to clarify himself, Michael Jackson was forced to undergo an inhumane and humiliating comprehensive physical examination by doctors here. For example, the anus, lower body and other private parts were not only examined in detail, but also
Taking pictures one by one, Michael Jackson's headaches and health continued to deteriorate in his later years, most of which were caused by this 'health check-up'), so I spent 50 million US dollars to buy it." Avril said proudly.
50 million! Lin Feng frowned. This manor was worth about 30 million US dollars at most, but Avril actually spent 50 million US dollars. Lin Feng was a bit at a loss what to say.
"Okay, don't use your businessman's ways to judge whether I will lose money by buying this Neverland Manor. I think the 50 million is well worth it!" Avril pulled Lin Feng into the car, then drove down the mountain and drove in.
This dreamy estate is worth $50 million.
Stepping into this Dream Manor, Lin Feng had to admit that Michael is a very enjoyable person. This Dream Manor is like a paradise on earth. From the first step here, he feels nothing but happiness. There are skyscrapers
Take turns to observe the charming scenery around you. There is a carousel to relive the fun of childhood, you can also go boating on the artificial lake, and you can also take the sightseeing train in the park to browse the beautiful scenery of the whole park. Dreamland is truly worthy of its name!
Of course, if you want to maintain this happiness, you must spend 3 million US dollars every year. Fortunately, Avril is also a young rich woman now, so she can afford this amount of money. What's more, isn't there Lin Feng behind her.
At this time, Avril summoned more than 70 servants in the manor.
"From now on, in addition to belonging to me, this manor also belongs to him. From today on, he is also the owner of this manor." Avril handed Lin Feng a remote control in front of all the servants.
The remote control that controls all the facilities in this dreamy manor.
Many servants were slightly startled after hearing this, and looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of envy. Avril is now a pop queen, she is very beautiful, and she is also a famous little rich woman. She just spent 50 million US dollars to buy this house.
Dream Manor, now hand over control to Lin Feng, the meaning of which is self-evident.
A man with good fortune! He has both wealth and wealth! - Many servants did not know Lin Feng, but they just sighed in their hearts at Lin Feng's good luck. Of course, they were not jealous, because Avril had just bought this manor and added it to everyone.
In exchange for his salary, his generosity made all the servants grateful to him.
"Avril, this..." Lin Feng was startled and naturally understood what Avril meant, but this gift was really heavy.
"Why, don't you dare to accept it? Consider this a gift in return for giving me the Boeing 767. This will be your home in the United States from now on." Avril said with a sweet smile.
Lin Feng smiled after hearing this. This little girl is really thoughtful!
Lin Chiling and others behind Lin Feng were speechless after hearing this. The manor worth 50 million was given as a return gift, which was really generous.
"Okay, but my 'Langya' security company must be responsible for this security work. If something happens to such a large manor, it won't be safe." Then, Lin Feng smiled and asked Li Rui and others to start checking the security system of Neverland Manor.
And plans are to expand it. First, a helicopter landing pad must be added, and relevant electronic monitoring equipment must be added.
If there were no such electronic monitoring equipment in the 11.3-square-kilometer manor, it would be impossible to prevent someone with ulterior motives from getting in.
After spending a night at Neverland, Avril arranged for Lin Feng to meet Michael Jackson the next day. In a mansion in Los Angeles with a monthly rent of 100,000 US dollars, Lin Feng met a haggard-looking Michael Jackson.
Although he is the "King of Pop", it is very difficult to compete with the giant Sony Records. If you are not careful, your past reputation and future may be at risk.
"Hi, Lin, I remember you, Avril's boyfriend. He always talks about you in my ears, and I heard that you are the richest Chinese in the world. It seems that Avril has really found a very good person this time.
Boyfriend." Michael greeted Lin Feng slowly with his deep voice.
After some pleasantries, Lin Feng gave Avril a wink, and Avril understood.
"Michael, Lin has always been your loyal fan. Yesterday, I accidentally let slip and told him about your financial situation, so he wanted to help you." Avril stuck out her tongue and said with a grimace.
Michael looked at it and smiled helplessly.
"You little girl, I told you not to tell others, but you still keep talking nonsense." Michael reached out and knocked Avril on the head, then looked at Lin Feng helplessly, "Lin, I know your good intentions, but my
I believe I can handle the account, thank you for your kindness. But please don’t publicize it to the outside world, can you keep it a secret for me?”
Obviously, the King of Pop also has the dignity of the King of Pop. Although his current financial situation is not good, he will not easily accept donations from others. Especially the other person is Avril's boyfriend who is comparable to his daughter. If Avril provides
He offers a huge amount of funding, and maybe he will accept it, but Avril’s boyfriend is funding it, and he won’t accept it.
This is not only for his own dignity, but also for Avril's dignity. If he accepts it, if Avril gets into trouble with Lin Feng in the future, he doesn't want this punk little princess to be in trouble because of his own affairs.
Being angry when facing my boyfriend.
Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. Since Michael had said so, he couldn't insist too much, otherwise he would be slapped in the face. After all, Lin Feng is also the richest man in China, so there is no reason to slap him in the face. Even if the other person is slapped.
He was his idol.
Unexpectedly, Avril became anxious. She was very aware of Michael's financial situation, and in the more than a year since her debut, Michael had also helped her a lot, introducing many seniors to her, otherwise she would have been "one-on-one" last year.
"Britney's matter will not be so easy to solve. After all, this is a taboo in the recording industry, especially when Britney was so famous and loved by thousands of people. She is also a newcomer, and it was not a coincidence that she met Michael.
-Jackson, we feel like old friends again. I am afraid that Avril’s life in the United States is still very difficult now. No matter how rich Lin Feng is, he cannot help solve all her problems. Unless Lin Feng has enough power to shake any rules in this world.
strength!
Avril calmly pinched Lin Feng hard.
Lin Feng was helpless, thought for a while, and rolled his eyes.
"Michael, you know, you are very popular in China, with hundreds of millions of fans. Unfortunately, you have never performed in mainland China. This is a great pity for all Chinese fans. I see it like this
How about I offer you a contract worth US$300 million and invite you to perform 30 concerts in mainland China in the next ten years?" Lin Feng had to "save the country" for the sake of Avril.
Michael Jackson was slightly stunned when he heard this. It was not that he did not want to perform in mainland China before, but in 1995, mainland China rejected his concert on the grounds that it was too provocative. This made Michael Jackson, who was very excited at the time,
I was greatly disappointed. Later, due to health and other reasons, my wish to perform in mainland China was never realized.
"Don't worry, now that China has reformed and opened up, there will be absolutely no problem with your concerts. No one will say your concerts are inciting people now." Lin Feng assured with confidence. China in 1995 and China in 2002, after reform and opening up,
There is a huge difference in terms of degree. Especially in Shanghai, a big city, it is even more open now. With my own invitation, there is absolutely no problem!
"However, this performance fee is too high." Michael frowned and said. His ticket revenue from one concert is usually around US$1 million, and thirty concerts is only US$30 million. However, Lin Feng offered a contract of US$300 million. This is
Naturally, most of them were helping him. This made Michael's self-esteem a little unbearable.
"Haha, in addition to buying out your thirty concerts in the next ten years, this 300 million contract also includes the copyright of your portrait in mainland China for the next ten years." Lin Feng said with a smile.
When Michael Jackson heard this, he realized that if he added the image rights to mainland China in the next ten years, he would not be taking advantage of Lin Feng. With his popularity as the "King of Pop", selling for US$300 million in the next ten years is basically a relatively
fair deal.
After a little calculation, Michael Jackson nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Lin. Anyway, you helped me a lot this time." Michael Jackson breathed a sigh of relief. Now the debt of 270 million US dollars is really weighing on him, and he can't breathe unless he sells his music.
Copyright, otherwise he would not be able to repay it. With Lin Feng's $300 million, he no longer has to worry, and he has more confidence to fight Sony Records. This time he must tear up the shady record industry.
Michael Jackson clenched his fists!
Lin Feng smiled slightly. At first, Lin Feng only provided the 300 million donation as an interest-free loan for the sake of Avril and the face of Michael Jackson, the idol he once admired most. But now it is
We reached an agreement with Michael for thirty concerts in the next ten years, as well as the copyright of his portrait in mainland China for the next ten years. This was an unexpected gain for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng believes that as long as he operates well, he can earn back the US$300 million.
Michael Jackson's charm is global!
"By the way, Michael, November 1st is the opening game of my NBA team, the Houston Rockets, in the new season. I hope you can come." Lin Feng thought of the NBA opening game three days later and said after the invitation.
.
"Well, I heard that Jordan is on your team. He almost didn't come to see me this summer. He was training in Houston all the time. For the sake of a new start for an old friend, I naturally want to support him." Michael Jackson said with a smile.
.
Lin Feng enjoyed listening to it. With the presence of Michael Jackson, his team's opening game will be more lively. This will be of great help to Lin Feng in promoting the Houston Rockets' stadium advertisement.
Chapter completed!
