1021 In China (5)
Still getting up on time at six o'clock in the morning, feeling the two soft bodies beside him, Chen Qing reached out and groped, causing a low muttering and laughing, and while sitting up, he also smiled and said: "Train the two of you so sensibly, next time the boss comes over, I really don't know if I will be overjoyed or angry." ”
Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi sisters got up, and saw that Chen Qing had quickly gotten out of bed and walked to the bathroom while talking, looking ruthless, and had no idea of taking advantage of the early morning time to warm up, and couldn't help but have some resentment, but they could only put on their clothes silently, and quietly left the suite in the inner courtyard and returned to their room to change clothes and wash.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Qing left the inner courtyard suite neatly dressed and came to a two-story study building in the garden next door.
The two-story antique library, which has also been renovated, houses a collection of tens of thousands of classic books with Chinese culture at its core, and Chen Qing hired several university professors to help list the books when she first purchased the books.
However, Chen Qing now prefers to use it as an office.
Coming to the second floor of the book building, the Jiang Shan Dance sisters and the other two waitresses, Lily Favier and Christina Latham, have also arrived, sorting and reviewing some books, newspapers and magazines at home and abroad that they just received today, and the important content will be made into a briefing for Chen Qing and the two.
Chen Qing had just sat down at the large mahogany desk by the window on the second floor, opened her laptop, and Lin Su also walked in, bringing her sister.
Noticing Lin Lan's figure, Chen Qing frowned slightly without a trace, didn't say anything, and began to check today's email.
The first is his own boss.
The information sent by Chen Qing and the others to Simon usually goes through the assistant company in charge of Girl A, however, the two girls also have direct channels to contact Simon, but neither Chen Qing nor Lin Su will disturb someone too often, and usually only write one or two emails a week.
I don't know what Lin Su will say to him, although the topics Chen Qing talks about will involve work, they are not too formal, similar to a little girl passing a small note to her sweetheart, trivial and trivial.
It's a kind of careful trick to maintain a man's feelings for her.
In addition to talking about the progress of the man's construction of the two properties in the two cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the last email also talked about the group of waitresses he was personally responsible for and helped his boss recruit in China, all of whom were the most outstanding girls from universities all over China.
Then there is what she learned some time ago, helping to match, and exchanging a batch of amber from Ukraine for a shipload of TVs on the Chinese side.
Very fulfilling.
In addition, she noticed a very popular JJ disco in Beijing last year, and once wanted to get involved, and after continuous pursuit and inquiry, she accidentally found that there are several powerful brothers behind the disco, surnamed Tang, using a company called Delong to play capital operation in China's wild market. She has asked the team of Cersei Capital's China Economic Research Institute to follow up on the Tang Brothers, which may be an investment.
And one last little thing.
The nightclub called 'Heaven and Earth' here in Beijing, after this period of contact, has successfully obtained 30% of the shares through a shell company in Hong Kong, spending $1.5 million, which is a bit expensive in Chen Qing, after all, this nightclub has only been in business for a long time, and it seems that there is nothing special.
However, several executives selected here have been successfully hired, and Chen Qing plans to meet with the owner of the nightclub this weekend and ask if his man has anything to communicate, such as reserving a special box or something?
Open the inbox and someone already has a reply.
I didn't say anything else, only a very simple sentence: "China is the era when you can do things seriously, don't always think about speculation." ”
Well...... This is a lesson.
Chen Qing, who was playing with a pencil with someone in her hand, pouted, and then looked at the back, there was one more thing, which was a serious matter, asking her to contact the production of a version of the past few episodes of the Victoria's Secret Show VCD CD, asking for the Chinese and English name subtitles of all Victoria's Secret angels.
Chen Qing was confused about this.
Then he couldn't help but chuckle.
Her boss obviously knew why China's VCD industry could rise rapidly, and he personally instructed her to make pirated copies.
That's a big deal.
After pondering for a while, Chen Qing quickly understood that his boss was planning to promote the Victoria's Secret Army in China, and perhaps, it was possible to promote the Victoria's Secret brand.
In fact, because of its great reputation, the past few Victoria's Secret show VCDs are also quite popular in China, but, apparently, no one has thought of adding a name to every angel who appears, and the audience sees these CDs and wants to know who is on the catwalk, and can only get information through some newspapers and magazines.
Now, with the name attached, if it is quietly promoted, the Victoria's Secret Legion will definitely become famous in China.
The next step is to start business.
Chen Qing was still a little puzzled about how her boss planned to promote it.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of reading came from outside the window.
This is Li Youhu and Zhu Momo practicing their lines by the small lake in another part of the garden, thinking of Zhu Momo's tall man and the news from the United States these days, Chen Qing suddenly understood.
The Victoria's Secret show, known as the 'Super Bowl' of the fashion industry, will definitely attract the attention of the Chinese media if a Chinese model appears. Then, the Chinese media transmitted to the Chinese audience, and with the name of the Victoria's Secret show VCD, the Victoria's Secret Army was naturally able to become famous in China.
Learned another trick.
This should be called pushing the boat along the river, well, no, or it is a good situation.
Thinking about the man's brief email for a moment, Chen Qing hesitated slightly, and did not reply immediately, but closed the page and began to check the work email.
From yesterday morning to now, more than 30 letters have been accumulated.
The more important thing is the progress materials sent by China Telecom's IPO team.
There is also a letter from Jared Buckley, president of the China business of Apollo Management Company, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, who was in Guangdong at this time.
The layout of the Westeros system in China has not stopped.
Jared Buckley, who is still nominally Chen's boss, has been largely pinned here since Simon's visit to China in the first half of the year, and is now responsible for Buckley's China business unit, which has expanded to three teams with a total of more than 200 people, covering three major areas of food and beverage, real estate and electronic technology.
The team of more than 200 people, most of whom are from China, have been trained to become senior executives of relevant investment companies in the future.
In terms of funding, in addition to the $1 billion in Barkley's hands, there is also a $1 billion investment fund in the hands of Charlotte Brinita from Switzerland, totaling $2 billion. Moreover, this money will be spread across a number of different sub-funds.
Although it is ostensibly a crowdfunded investment fund, at the end of the day, it's all someone's money.
Chen Qing also understands that her boss does this, mainly because she doesn't want the Westeros system to appear too ubiquitous.
Jared Buckley's email was mainly about the progress of the acquisition of a condiment company in Foshan, Guangzhou, called Haitian Condiment Co., Ltd.
Compared with the grain and oil sector, which is strictly regulated by the Chinese government, condiments are not only a necessity for the Chinese public's life, but also do not have too strict regulations, and the profit margin of condiments is very high like that of the beverage industry, and the advantages of all aspects are comprehensive, so it has become a recent investment focus of the food and beverage team.
In response to the current trend of attracting investment in China, the local government has given a very positive response to the takeover offer of Buckley's team.
The problem now is on this scale.
Haitian is currently a state-owned enterprise, and it is a very well-known local company, Buckley's team wants to buy it all, the local government and Haitian management do not want to sell it all, and the compromise plan discussed by the two sides is that Apollo Management will acquire 60% of the company through capital injection and share acquisition The local government relinquished its controlling stake, and Apollo Management promised to keep the current management unchanged, while assisting the company to further expand at home and abroad, and to go public at an appropriate time in the future, so that shareholders could get more advice.
Now that the email has been sent, this is basically the final solution.
In addition, Barkley also talked about two other projects in the email, both in Guangdong.
The first is an investment in a real estate company headquartered in Shenzhen that has just been established this year, the company is called Evergrande, the founder of this company, Boss Xu, who has made a net profit of 200 million yuan for the company through a large-scale real estate project in Guangzhou two years ago.
Buckley said in the email that the big boss personally made the investment, generously spending 20 million yuan to buy only 40% of the shares of the small company that was only three months old, and also provided $100 million in credit funds for the next real estate development.
The second project was a preliminary investigation of a real estate company also located in Foshan.
The name of this company is Country Garden.
At present, it is a temporary encounter in Foshan, and Barkley accidentally noticed when negotiating Haitian that although the company is temporarily small, it has a set of hotel-style management ideas that are different from other real estate companies in China.
Jared Buckley also included details of the two companies in the email.
Chen Qing read all the unread work emails on the network, opened the attachments of the two real estate company materials sent by Buckley, pressed print, listened to the humming sound of the printer next to him, raised his hand and stretched his waist, looked at the watch, it was already seven o'clock, so he turned off the computer and got up to eat breakfast.
The Jiangshan Dance sisters skillfully bound the materials printed out by Chen Qing, divided them into two folders together with the sorted out newspaper clippings, picked them up and followed downstairs.
Lin Lan, who had been beside her sister for the past half an hour, accompanied her to see the information on the investment project in Zhejiang Province last night, saw Chen Qing get up and leave without saying a word, and couldn't help but say to her sister Nunu again.
Lin Su was also helpless.
Although she didn't want to admit it, in fact, she felt more and more that she couldn't keep up with Chen Qing's rhythm.
Fortunately, I don't want to fight with her too much.
It's all women, or, it's all his women, what is there to fight for?
However, this time, I still have to discuss my father's affairs with Chen Qing, and even have a small fight.
followed back to the restaurant in the inner courtyard next door, and waited for the waitress to serve breakfast, Lin Su looked at Chen Qing, who was reading the materials while eating without wasting a little time, and finally said: "Xiaoqing, about the film and television city project, I hope to put it in Zhejiang, what do you think?"
Chen Qing raised her head, glanced at Lin Lan, and then asked Lin Su, "Do you know Simon's layout ideas?"
Lin Su nodded, of course she knew.
That man plans to create a 'brocade' system according to the idea of the Hollywood blockbuster era, what is the Hollywood blockbuster era like, Lin Su has also studied, the most typical is undoubtedly MGM in its heyday, in the simplest sentence to describe it, the business model of the blockbuster era is vertical integration.
The main film production and distribution, the upstream film and television base, entertainment stars, the terminal cinema line and peripheral distribution, all covered.
For the Chinese entertainment industry, which is basically not an industry at this stage, vertical integration is undoubtedly the most effective operation idea, because the current Chinese film and television industry lacks everything, and it is impossible to have a clear division of labor between brokerage companies, production companies, and theater companies like Hollywood.
If you want to make a difference without constraints, you can only lay out the whole industry chain.
Seeing Lin Su nodding, Chen Qing also said: "I have already put Wu in contact with the Suzhou Municipal Government, since you understand Simon's thinking, you should know that if you want to achieve vertical integration, tax incentives and policy support at the level of the authorities are indispensable." Wu Ben is from Jiangsu's radio and television system, and he will be able to negotiate a rough preferential plan for the support of the film and television industry with the Suzhou Municipal Government in about a month, you ...... here" Chen Qing said this, shrugging his shoulders slightly: "In the same month, when the time comes, we will compare the two plans, and then hand them over to Simon, which one is better, Simon will definitely use that." ”
Before Lin Su could speak, Lin Lan couldn't help but say, "One month, there is not enough time." ”
Chen Qing looked at her and curled the corners of her mouth: "So, it depends on the sincerity of the local government, if they really intend to cooperate, one month is more than enough, and we don't have much time to waste on our side, we have to fight for the day, Xiaolan." ”
Lin Lan didn't give up, and said: "Suzhou is different from Hangzhou, Hangzhou is the provincial capital, Suzhou is only a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu, and the difficulty of making decisions is very different, and you just said that you have started to do work in advance, which is not fair at all." ”
"What's unfair, in fact, Ah Su can also do the work in advance, but she didn't do it, and I don't blame it. ”
“......”
Lin Lan was speechless for a while, and then looked at her sister who was not angry, with an expression of what are you doing on weekdays.
Lin Su felt his sister's eyes, and was inexplicably a little weak.
On weekdays, in fact, she does whatever Chen Qing does, and she does a lot of it. Mainly because of the man's arrangement, the two of them are a couple, and they have nothing to hide from each other, but because of Chen Qing's strength, Lin Su unknowingly gave up a lot of decision-making power to the other party.
Thinking of this, Lin Su inexplicably felt a little aggrieved.
So he handed the thick information that he had been reading last night to Chen Qing on the other side, and said angrily: "This, you take the time to take a look at it today, and tomorrow I will give my father a reply, if you don't have a result, I'll ...... I'll take all my money. ”
"You dare!"
Chen Qing also blurted out subconsciously, and then saw Lin Su staring at him and only remembering his appearance, realizing that although the other party did not fight or grab on weekdays, he was really angry, and he might not be able to hold it back, so he had to soften his attitude: "Okay, okay, but I'm very busy today, and I only have one day to watch." ”
Lin Lan felt that her elder sister had finally won back the initiative, and hurriedly helped on the side: "There will always be time to squeeze it, Sister Qing, just seize the day." ”
Chen Qing: "......"
