Chapter 87: Deep Water Bay Road
First time I went to the town of Bentonville to meet a few people.
In addition to Roger Sampras, there is also Ashton Mabus, who is also in the fashion magazine business in San Francisco.
When he was in transit at the airport, Ashton found that Chen Linzhi was in good shape, and he knew the designer of the suit, and he also helped him take a few photos, saying that he would use it as a magazine cover.
Originally, Chen Linzhi didn't think so, and he had long forgotten about this matter.
Unexpectedly, when I went home this evening to pack my things, I unexpectedly received a call from Ashton, who asked Chen Linzhi where he lived and planned to personally send a sample of this month's magazine.
A very enthusiastic white guy.
Chen Linzhi was busy going to the airport to catch a plane and shirked a few words.
Calculating the time, I felt that there would be no delay, so I agreed to Ashton's suggestion and made the meeting place at the entrance of San Francisco's Chinatown, near an archway with a plaque with the words "The world is for the public", which is one of the local landmarks.
After packing his luggage, he went downstairs to find a place to eat a bowl of mutton dumplings, and then drove to the archway to make an appointment.
Earlier, Chen Linzhi saw him wearing rose-red clothes, and he had already suspected Ashton's sexual orientation, and this meeting made Chen Linzhi sure that he had guessed correctly.
Seeing Ashton smiling all over his face, opening his arms from afar, and reluctantly hugging him politely, Chen Linzhi asked: "How is your magazine doing, I remember I heard you say that you can only sell more than 1,000 copies per issue, has the situation improved?"
"It's still the same, but I recently subscribed to Playboy magazine, and I seriously discussed with the deputy editor-in-chief that this is the first issue after changing the market positioning, and whether it will be successful or not, you can see some signs this month. ”
As he spoke, Ashton handed the magazine with a plastic cover in his hand to Chen Linzhi.
Chen Linzhi swept over the cover picture, not her own photo, but a blonde girl with an eye-catching figure, posing in a bewitching pose, which is quite a bit of a banned journal.
It seems that Ashton is forced by the reality of sluggish sales, and is ready to break the jar and gamble, with the help of beautiful models to attract people to buy.
Unwrapping the plastic cover, Chen Linzhi flipped through a few pages, and sure enough, he saw a photo of himself, and the accompanying text next to it was mainly introducing clothes.
Many of the content on other pages are mostly related to the fashion circle, and if you look at the pictures of a female model, it is estimated that you will spend a lot of money to hire them to be models.
Chen Linzhi closed the magazine and hurried to the airport to avoid accidentally missing the flight on the way, and told Ashton:
"I went to Wal-Mart headquarters, the business negotiation was relatively smooth, the first batch of products was a stockings order, and yesterday I got a bigger order, and I was preparing to go to Hong Kong City to negotiate business with suppliers.
I'm sorry, I can't receive you today, next time I call you, please taste the authentic roast duck, to be honest, there may be something to trouble you in the future, please help contact the designer, design some trendy clothing styles, I will take it to the factory in Asia for processing. ”
"It's a small thing, I know a lot of designers.
I'm in a hurry to go to the party tonight, since you're in trouble, I'll see you next time, I wanted you to come with me to the party...... It is said that the dancing king John Travolta will also participate. ”
Ashton lowered his voice.
Chen Linzhi heard it, but he didn't even know who John Travolta was, so he quickly got into the car with the magazine, separated from Ashton, and rushed directly to the airport......
-------------------------------------
The flight journey of more than ten hours will always be difficult, especially when the fat man who sits next to him and sprays cologne has been squeezing the seat belonging to Chen Linzhi.
On the way to the toilet, I asked the flight attendant if she could upgrade and spend more money to buy a comfortable, but unfortunately the first class was also full.
finally got off the plane, and Chen Linzhi finally swept away the boredom.
Not long after coming to Hong Kong City, I found a familiar taxi stop, got on the bus and directly reported the address of Deep Water Bay Road, where Song Yuewen was located.
As soon as the taxi heard the place, he immediately glanced at Chen Linzhi.
Asked him why he didn't let the driver come and pick him up instead of taking his taxi since he could live on Deep Water Bay Road.
Listening to what the driver said, Chen Linzhi couldn't guess that the place should be excellent, he didn't know about the port city, he only knew about the Repulse Bay mansion and the hilltop mansion, and it was expected that with Yu Luoqi's financial resources, the house should not be much worse.
It takes a long time to get in the car, and the meter beats rapidly, from double digits to triple digits, and it is still increasing, but it is still a good deal compared to the cost of a taxi in the United States.
After chatting with each other, I asked about the local housing prices and learned that someone recently spent more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a mansion of more than 7,000 square feet on the top of the mountain, which is equivalent to more than 600 square meters.
At the current exchange rate, it is only about 900,000 US dollars.
At present, it is quite expensive, but it is undoubtedly very cheap compared to the future, Chen Linzhi couldn't help but make an idea, thinking that if the business goes well, buying a house here should have more appreciation potential than buying a house in San Francisco.
As soon as the news of the return came out at the end of last year, the property market in Hong Kong City was in a downturn, and many wealthy people began to prepare in advance, intending to get passports from other countries, like a flood of beasts is coming.
Chen Linzhi's thoughts are different from theirs, but he quickly gave up the idea of buying a house in Hong Kong City, after all, compared with investing in Internet companies and investing in business, even if the house price rises more, the profit is extremely limited, and good steel should be used on the blade.
......
Close to deep waterways.
Chen Linzhi originally wanted to use Big Brother to contact Song Yuewen and ask her to help open the door.
It wasn't until this time that he realized that the calling card did not support international roaming services, which was equivalent to bringing a brick over, which was useless at all.
Took my luggage, paid and got out of the taxi.
Chen Linzhi looked in through the iron gate, with green grass and fountains, and a big white house towering on the lawn, far more luxurious than expected.
It was already more than one o'clock in the middle of the night, no one answered when he rang the doorbell, Chen Linzhi was having a headache, and he accidentally saw a Rolls-Royce driving by, and the one sitting in the back seat made him feel familiar.
Think back.
suddenly realized, isn't it the young version of the king of land speculation, Lao Li?!
Putting aside anything else, it is indeed quite rich, Chen Linzhi smacked his lips and secretly exclaimed, thinking about when he would buy a Rolls-Royce to travel, and the idea of making money was a little more determined.
Then I rang the doorbell, and soon there was an old aunt, sleepy-eyed and messy hair, who saw Chen Linzhi from afar, scolding and not knowing what to say.
Through the iron gate, the old aunt's face was full of unhappiness, and she asked Chen Linzhi: "Who are you looking for so late?"
Chen Linzhi replied to her: "I am friends with Miss Yu in San Francisco, and recently there is a girl named Song Yuewen who lives in this pair, I will look for her ......."
