Chapter 873: The Princess Is a Disease

After breakfast, Emmanuel rushed to Suzhou, while Chen Qing and the three of them went to several top art schools in Shanghai.

It's not an interview.

The recruitment advertisement has just been sent out, and the next step is to receive resumes sent from all over the country, and after the initial screening, the first round of interviews will be conducted, and a preliminary review will be conducted randomly to confirm the basic information of the girl who is applying for the job, and then the second round of interviews, this time there will be 1,000 candidates.

Then, Chen Qing will personally participate.

The remaining girls at this stage will also be informed of the details of this recruitment.

The final list is determined by Simon.

Chen Qing's job today is to hire some professors and lecturers from the Academy of Arts to personally work part-time interviewers for this recruitment, with these professionals with vicious eyes to participate, in the future interview, you can determine how the candidate's dancing skills are by looking at a few looks, and absolutely avoid indiscriminate filling.

The Guofeng Art Troupe will also officially hire some of them to join in the future, after all, an artistic team with only dancers is definitely not enough, and it also needs various creative and technical talents as behind-the-scenes support.

China has just entered the middle of October of the lunar calendar, and the New Year is still more than two months away.

Chen Qing will not stay here for long, and will return to North America in a few days, and will stay until the New Year, when the second round of interviews is over, and Chen Qing can spend the New Year in China while completing the follow-up work.

Charlotte Brenita stayed with Chen Qing and her colleagues in China until December 7, and did not return directly to Europe, but flew to North America again.

The first destination this time was Los Angeles.

Daenerys Studios.

The next time I saw Simon, it was the second day after I arrived in Los Angeles.

On the West Coast of the United States, it's Friday, December 8.

Chen Qing and Lin Su spent two hours reporting to Simon, and Brienita only dined together at noon.

Inside the executive dining hall in the administrative district of the studio.

Waiting for the waiter to bring lunch, Simon looked at Brinita and asked, "This trip to China, well, you don't need to tell me about your general feelings, do you have any specific investment ideas?"

Charlotte Brinita glanced at Chen Qing and the two daughters at the same table, hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "Regarding education, when I attended some gatherings, I heard them talk about their children's study abroad more than once, and I also did some surveys afterwards, and found that Chinese attach great importance to the education of their children, so I think maybe we can carry out relevant business in China." ”

After Brinita finished speaking, Chen Qing next to her narrowed her eyes slightly.

Brinita hadn't talked about it to herself when she was in China, but she was relieved to think about it.

After getting along with each other these days, Chen Qing can feel that she and Brenita are completely the same kind. Think about yourself, if you have similar ideas, you will not be stupid enough to talk to others casually, you must first make a detailed and feasible plan, and then find the right person, such as your own boss, in order to pursue your own interests to the maximum.

Sure enough, when asked again by his boss if he had a specific plan, Chen Qing saw Brinita and nodded: "Chen took me to see the high-end community that Levison Group is planning and developing in Pudong New Area, and I think that an international school can be built to provide multilingual teaching, and then arrange for students to study abroad after meeting the basic conditions such as age and language." Private schools in Switzerland are very well developed and I can arrange for matchmaking. ”

Chen Qing, who listened carefully, was a little slanderous again.

It's really unabashed.

Simon asked, "Do you think you can make money?"

"Of course, education has always been a very lucrative business, and according to my research, parents in China are more willing to invest heavily in their children's education than parents in other countries," Charlotte said. Moreover, during this period of experience, I also found that the consumption power of China's elite is no less than that of the rich in Europe and the United States, as long as they do well, the profits are very rich. ”

Simon bowed slightly, smiled again, and said, "Since you think this is a good business, is it a little smaller to set up an international school in Shanghai to connect with Switzerland?"

Charlotte immediately realized that the man had seen through her mind.

In fact, the main thing is that if she wants to participate in this matter, it is impossible to do it too much because of her own strength limitations. The woman was not weak-hearted and said, "Didn't you also say that when you suggested Chen about the computer company, you should start small." ”

At the villa in Woodside, Simon was communicating with Chen Qing in Chinese, which Brinita could not understand, and the girl occasionally talked to her during a private chat with Chen Qing during her trip to China.

This also made Chen Qing, who was listening, grit his teeth slightly again.

Bichi!

Simon cut the steak in front of him, and thought quietly for a moment while eating, Chen Qing and the others did not bother, and after a while, he said: "You and Chen discuss this matter together and make a formal written plan." Since it was you who proposed it, you can take a 30% share, and I don't care if you monopolize this 30% or raise funds from your family business, I just need to see the results. My personal advice to you is that you can do it big, but don't do it all, because your client's goal is to want elite education, and elite education is never in batches. ”

At the dinner table, Simon's voice fell, Chen Qing immediately understood, but Charlotte was a little puzzled: "Simon, I don't understand, what does it mean to be big and not be one?"

Simon gestured to Chen Qing next to him: "You explain it to her." ”

Chen Qing hooked the corners of her mouth slightly and said: "It's just a set of teams that incubate many projects, and on the surface, people can't see the direct connection." Specifically, at present, we can set up different levels of international schools in different cities in China, and then connect with private schools of different specifications in different Western countries, and those who are willing to spend $1 million can get $1 million in services, and those who are only $100,000 can only get $100,000 treatment. ”

When Charlotte Brenita heard this, she pondered for a moment, and her outlook on life collapsed slightly. She came up with the idea to make money, but at the same time to provide a high-level education, and she even wanted to connect the top private school in Geneva invested by the Brinita family that she had studied as a child with the planned international school in Shanghai.

Chen Qing's words were completely done as business.

It's still a big, big business.

Different levels, different prices, different services.

If you invest $1 million or more, you will certainly get a better education, but if you only have $100,000, it is difficult to say what pheasant school you will end up sending to. Education, after all, is related to a child's life.

Noticing Brenita's hesitant and flickering expression, Chen Qing changed her Chinese and said to Simon, "Boss, I think we can get rid of her and do it ourselves." ”

Before Simon could speak, Brenita was already looking at Chen Qing with a little vigilance in confusion.

Then, Chen Qing heard the words of his boss who sold him: "Chen said that we can completely get rid of you and do it yourself." ”

Brienita's expression immediately turned to a glare.

Chen Qing looked pitiful when she met someone, glared at her boss, and simply lowered her head to eat.

Simon smiled, put away his expression, and said to Brenita seriously: "These days together, I think the two of you are already very familiar with each other, and you should find that you are not only the same kind of people, but also complementary, Chen is good at treating people, you are good at doing things, if you cooperate frankly, you can do a lot of things in the future." ”

Charlotte Brinita was not an impulsive person, and when she heard the man say this, she hesitated a little, but still nodded.

Simon looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing quickly stretched out his hand towards Brienita: "I'm sorry, I roughly understand what you were thinking just now, but business is business, if you really do what you think, you will definitely not be able to do much, and you won't make much money." Because you don't really understand what the people who arrange for their children to go abroad want. In any case, I hope we can have a good time working together in the future. ”

Charlotte also nodded facefully, and finally didn't forget to glance at Lin Su, who had been eating quietly.

Chen Qing noticed her gaze, did not hide it at all, and said: "I have always wanted Lin to cooperate happily with me, but except in bed, it is difficult for the two of us to cooperate happily, and the Tao is different." ”

This time it was Lin Su's turn to blush, glaring angrily at Chen Qing.

Simon ignored the kittens around him scratching each other, and when he saw that Chen Qing and Brinita had reached an agreement, he asked instead, "How is the matter with the National Wind Art Troupe?"

The two hours before lunch were very formal about work, which was a hobby.

Chen Qing said: "The advertisement went out, and before I came back, the recruitment team had already started to receive resumes and conduct initial screening. I invited a group of professionals from several art academies in Shanghai to form an interview team, and the first round of interviews will start in about half a month, and I plan to set up four pilot projects in different cities in the north and south of China, and I will go back again. And then there's the support team, the lecturers and professors who do the interviews, and at the end of the job, you can pick and choose some to act behind the scenes, and I've talked to some of them, and they're all very interested in that. If all goes well, after the New Year on the Chinese side, you can personally determine the final list. ”

Simon nodded slightly and said, "I recently wrote a piece based on the "Picking Rose" in the Book of Songs, as well as some costumes and choreographed sketches, take them with you when you leave. It's the final assessment question, for the dancers and the team behind the scenes. ”

"Is that what the boss sang last time?"

"No, I only picked out four lines of lyrics this time, and I just made a small sample for the people you chose to perfect it. ”

In fact, it is a very beautiful classical dance in Simon's memory, excerpted from the stage play "Confucius", called "Cai Wei", the lyrics are only four sentences repeated, but Simon remembers deeply, and during this time, he made some materials at will, intending to restore them to his team.

Chen Qing didn't ask any more questions, agreed, and said, "Also, here in the United States, where does the boss plan to arrange them, and they must be arranged in advance?"

"I have a property in East Hampton that was originally built as a club, so the house is huge, the main villa has about a hundred or more rooms, but there are only 26 bedrooms, and it needs to be changed to 50, and since you brought it up, you can deal with it. ”

"Boss, can I assume that I didn't mention it?"

"Yes. ”

"Forget it, I'll do it. Chen Qing took the initiative to compromise, and then asked again: "100 people, 50 bedrooms?"

"yes, you don't understand?"

"Understood, understood. ”

After a little joke, Chen Qing became serious again, continued to discuss some details with Simon, remembered a certain thought at breakfast on the terrace of No. 18 on the Bund last Sunday, and couldn't help but say, "Boss, there is one more thing I found?"

"Huh?"

"The girls who are about to join the National Style Art Troupe, are you going to raise them as princesses?"

"yes. ”

“......”

Admit it so easily?

Simon glanced at the girl: "You, and Lin, aren't you two also raised by me as princesses, dissatisfied, and want to be queens?"

Chen Qing stuck out her tongue, very delicate.

Knowing what Chen Qing had discovered, Simon certainly wouldn't poke it himself.

The princess is actually a disease.

If you can get it, you can only take medicine all the time, and it is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to cure it.

Anyway, the group of girls that Simon selected from Latin America and Eastern Europe earlier were originally raised as waitresses, because the training specifications given were too high, and now they are basically raised as princesses, which are difficult to cure.

After lunch, Chen Qing wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Simon, drank coffee, and recited "Luo Shen Fu" plus "University" and "The Mean" by the way.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't forget this incident, and after reciting it bitterly, she condemned Simon for being partial, but she didn't let Lin Su carry it.

The reasons given by Simon are also strong.

Now that Chen Qing has memorized everything, there is no reason why Lin Su, who only has one "Luo Shen Fu" task, can't complete it, so he won't waste time, after all, his time is also very precious.

Emmanuel had returned to San Francisco yesterday, and the three daughters took their leave at two o'clock in the afternoon and rushed to New York together.

Simon also started his afternoon work.

Today is Friday, December 8th, and the start of another box office week.

However, it is now in an unpopular period between the Thanksgiving file and the Christmas file, and there is no heavyweight new film to open today.

Among the old films that have been released, it is worth mentioning that only the 3D animated film "Beauty and the Beast" opened on November 17, and in the third week of its release from December 1 to December 7, because the market briefly turned cold, the box office decline of "Beauty and the Beast" also began to widen, reaching 39%, and continued to earn $32.27 million.

In three weeks, the 3D animated film grossed $153.9 million.

It is the biggest winner of the Thanksgiving schedule.

However, considering a super blockbuster in the Christmas file, the final box office of "Beauty and the Beast" in China may not be comparable to "The Lion King" two years ago, and the final landing point may be around $250 million. Moreover, judging from the performance of overseas markets, although "Beauty and the Beast" has an excellent reputation, the market response is also not as good as "The Lion King", and the global box office can be considered a great success if it can break through 600 million US dollars.

Except for "Beauty and the Beast", the other films in the Thanksgiving file have basically withdrawn from the competition for this popular schedule at the end of the year.

Now, although the Christmas schedule will open a week later on December 16, the public's eyes are basically locked on "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which will be released on December 22.

Time Warner, which is responsible for the film's distribution, recently released its last trailer before the release, vaguely pointing to the 'death of Superman' event that has been speculated by fans since the beginning of filming.

Prior to this, under the strict secrecy of the creative team, the plot of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has been clouded and foggy, because of the national popularity of the two superheroes, neither DC fans nor ordinary viewers thought that Superman would really die in this movie.

Therefore, when the final trailer was announced, it immediately detonated a strong heated discussion of public opinion, and the audience's expectations for the film were also raised to the highest.
