Chapter 730: The Rapid Development of Jingxi
Whether the existence of paparazzi is necessary or not, everyone has a different opinion.
On August 31, 1997, Paul, the driver of Princess Diana, the British princess, was in a car accident while driving away from the paparazzi in Paris, France, and Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi were killed, which caused concern about the paparazzi's nuisance to the target.
In 1998, Oriental Daily, a subsidiary of Oriental Press Group, lost a lawsuit against Next Digital.
Oriental Daily then retaliated against the newspaper, including making heated remarks in the newspapers and sending paparazzi to follow Court of Appeal Judge Ko Yi-fai for three consecutive days.
As a result, he was charged with contempt of court by the Department of Justice, and the editor-in-chief, Wong Yeung-wu, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, and Oriental Press Group was fined HK$5 million.
There are also some Hong Kong celebrities, including some superstars, who are frequently harassed by paparazzi and sued in court, such as Jacky Cheung and Jackie Chan.
In 2006, Tins' Zhong Xintong was secretly photographed changing clothes by a reporter from "One Convenience" magazine during a performance in Genting Highlands, Malaysia.
The photos were published in the 761st issue of "One Book of Convenience" published on August 22 of the same year, causing an uproar, and the Hong Kong-Hong Kong Performing Artists Association was strongly dissatisfied with this and held a press conference to denounce it. Jackie Chan, Jacky Cheung and others even called on the Hong Kong government to enact laws to stop the relevant bad behavior.
Abroad, in October 2005, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, an artist, signed into law the Anti-Paparazzi Act, which came into effect in 2006.
"Jiang Hui, is it so simple and rude, will there be any sequelae?", Zhang Mengze said a little worriedly.
"It's okay, it's only troublesome to be gentle with them, and they will have to inch in the future," Jiang Hui said.
"Sister, don't worry, I want to see which media dares to mess around, so don't blame us for being polite," He Ling said.
Among several people, Zhang Mengze usually has the most opportunities to be exposed to the spotlight, but there are almost no scandals, and she can be regarded as a jade girl in the music world.
If the photos of Jiang Hui holding He Ling and Zhang Mengze, who drank a little too much, are exposed today, it will be a very big blow to Zhang Mengze's image.
Those media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic still don't know how to take things out of context, make up a lot of scenes out of nothing, and make up a lot of scenes on their own.
Jiang Hui doesn't care, he is unmarried and only in his twenties, the impact of this kind of photo exposure on himself is basically tickling, it doesn't matter at all.
"How can you do this, the camera is our private property, and you have no right to dispose of it", a paparazzi reporter who was caught not far away saw Pan Wei and others controlling them, and immediately took out film from the camera and exposed it in the air.
The shooting cameras used by these paparazzi are relatively high-end, but many of these high-end cameras use film, which is convenient for Pan Wei and others.
There is also a reason why these journalists use film cameras.
In terms of image quality, digital cameras are not comparable to film cameras. Film often needs to go through two steps: processing and scanning, and the delicacy of the picture has a lot to do with the accuracy of the scanning, while the digital SLR does not have this problem, and the accuracy of the pixels is often fixed.
This makes the imaging of the film much more flexible.
"These are the money to compensate you for the film, don't let me see you secretly filming in the future", Pan Wei threw a stack of money to the paparazzi and said.
The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, and the paparazzi saw that they couldn't take advantage of it, so they picked up the money and walked away.
"Sister, let's send you back first", He Ling said as he looked at Zhang Mengze, who was unsteady in walking and dizzy than herself.
"No, don't disturb the sweet night of your little couple, my driver and bodyguards are all here, I'll just go back by myself," Zhang Mengze said.
Although Zhang Mengze said so, considering that several of her entourages were all men except for a personal bodyguard who was a woman, and she was already a little drunk, Jiang Hui and He Ling still sent her back before moving on to the next target.
A little bit of alcohol to cheer up, naturally a night of passion.
……
The next day, Jiang Hui and Liu Qiangxi made an appointment to meet at Jingxi Mall.
After the rapid development of this year, Jingxi Mall is already the second largest online shopping site in the Celestial Empire.
Whether it is the daily transaction amount or the number of orders, Jingxi is already very close to a certain treasure.
"Mr. Jiang, our Jingxi Mall now has a daily turnover of more than 100 million, and the number of registered users has exceeded 20 million, according to this trend, we have the hope of becoming the largest online shopping site in the Celestial Empire next year," Liu Qiangxi said to Jiang Hui.
After two years of rapid development in the online shopping market, there are already a number of large-scale national platforms such as Bao.com, Jingxi Mall, eBay.com, Paipai.com, Daily Fresh, etc., as well as hundreds of small and medium-sized platforms in other regions.
Of course, if you include some small cells or small platforms, then this number will increase exponentially.
Among so many platforms, Jingxi was able to stand out thanks to Liu Qiangxi's efforts.
Of course, the support of Korn Ferry is also very important.
"How are we doing in several major storage centers across the country?" Jiang Hui asked.
The construction of Jingxi Mall's own warehousing and distribution center is a strategy that Jiang Hui has formulated when he became a shareholder of Jingxi Mall, which is an important factor in accelerating the distribution speed of Jingxi Mall.
"Imperial Capital, Shanghai City, Shenzhen City, Wuyang, Qingcheng, these areas have purchased land to start the construction of storage centers, among which the Imperial Capital, Shanghai City and Wuyang have completed the first phase of construction and put into use, the second phase of the project is also under planning, and other areas are also under construction", Liu Qiangxi replied.
"The reasonable layout of the warehousing center is related to the healthy development of Jingxi Mall in the future, and it is also an important measure to distinguish each shopping website from other websites after homogenization in the future.
In later generations, Jingxi was able to place orders before 11 o'clock on the same day and arrive on the same day, and orders were placed after 11 o'clock and arrived within the next day, which is closely related to the fact that Jingxi Mall has its own warehousing centers in major regions of the country.
These storage centers not only speed up delivery, but also reduce logistics costs, so that goods do not have to go around the country.
For example, if a product is produced by Wuyang, if Jingxi is only in the imperial capital storage center, then the product will be transported from Wuyang to the imperial capital, and then when the user of Wuyang places an order, it will be sent to Wuyang by Jingxi Mall from the imperial capital.
There is so much time and cost wasted.
And if there is a storage center in Wuyang, it is different.
"Lao Liu, Jingxi Mall now has a daily turnover of more than 100 million, how is the profitability?", Jiang Hui suddenly asked.
