An hour later.

Outside the Ma family's luxury villa, several juniors of the Ma family sent off the visiting guests.

Until the car disappeared into the night, his cousin Ma Tingwei smiled and said: "This Chen Chaowu is really ruthless, in order to hold the beauty, he has used all three indiscriminate means, and he has done everything." ”

"This person is more than 30 years old, and he is so cheap for a woman that he can't be saved." Ma Chengkun said disdainfully, "As long as there is money, what kind of woman doesn't?" He was fascinated by a female star, jumping up and down in order to break up other couples, not only owing a favor to several club bosses, but also dissatisfying Shao Laoliu, but in the end, he made a wedding dress for someone, and cheapened the surnamed Zhang for nothing, why bother! ”

Ma Chengkun is a proud person, when his father Ma Xizhen and uncle Ma Xiru because of smuggling, drug trafficking, gang-related and other major cases, absconded to Taiwan, in 1978 he took over the "Oriental Daily" was only 22 years old, at that time the "Oriental Daily" was in turmoil, the circulation and sales plummeted, once from the peak of 140,000 copies to 6 or 70,000 copies. It was he Ma Chengkun who turned the tide, made several plans, and went through several twists and turns to create a new situation in the newspapers and periodicals.

At a young age, he was in charge of a huge newspaper company, with power and money, and from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Chen Chaowu's childish behavior.

"Hehehe, this guy is not a good person, he is ruthless, I don't know who killed the deer!"

"Who's the good kind?" Ma Chengkun asked rhetorically.

Ma Tingwei was silent, Chen Chaowu was not a good person, and their Ma family was not much more innocent than the other party. Zhang Shaoping, who is close to Huo Zhenting, Pan Disheng, Liu Luanxiong, Wu Guangzheng, Yang Minde, etc., is really playing black, young and vigorous, I am afraid that he will dare to do it against others. Spending money to buy murderers, this happens not uncommon in Hong Kong.

Seeing the thoughtful looks of his cousins, Ma Chengkun continued: "Even if he Chen Chaowu stinks Zhang Shaoping, so what? If you don't kill each other, you will be hated by such a steaming young man, will you be able to have a good life in the future? ”

"So what are we going to do, it's not mixed? Chen Chaowu gave a lot of money this time. Ma Tingwei was extremely reluctant to send a large sum of money to the door.

Ma Chengkun sneered: "How can you spit it out what you eat in your mouth?" He Chen Chaowu engaged in his, we engaged in ours, just like before, each doing its own thing, we are newspapers, we have the freedom to report the news, as long as someone contributes, we dare to publish it! ”

"Brother Kun, don't worry, I know how to do it."

Ma Tingwei smiled knowingly, he didn't know how many times he had done these slanderous reports that caught the wind and misled his surname, anyway, if he caught someone, he would be killed, and he didn't even need to apologize afterwards.

The "uncrowned kings" of these media are not called in vain, and the binding force of Hong Kong law on them is very small, so small that it can be ignored. At this time, it's okay now, and in a few years, it will be called unfettered, and it doesn't matter what false reports and sensational reports are, as long as they can attract attention.

New York is a place where every inch of land is at a premium, and rents are rising almost every year.

For example, the smallest increase was in Chinatown's Chinese district, which rose 30 percent from a decade ago, and now has an average rent of $200, while Manhattan has seen the largest increase, averaging around $350. Of course, the rent for commercial space is more expensive, at least $100-300 more.

Zhang Shaoping originally planned to set up the company's headquarters in the Chinese district of Chinatown. Brown and Jiang Zhiqiang disagreed.

Tina. Brown said a very simple truth, all large companies must be headquartered in Manhattan, especially foreign companies, first of all, you have to show your strength, let people know that you are a dragon, and the best way to show your strength is to pull a tiger skin, let people see your glamorous exterior at a glance.

Jiang Zhiqiang's opposition to Zhang Shaoping's establishment of a company in Chinatown was from another angle. At this time, New York was one of the darkest periods in history, with a high incidence of crimes, mixed with various races, ethnicities, professions, and sects, and conflicts broke out from time to time, and street fights, robberies and murders were commonplace.

In the original time and space, there was a photographer named Angelfranco at this time, who began to work with the detectives of the 46th Police Precinct in the Bronx from 1979, and took pictures throughout the whole process, until it was revealed to the outside world in the next year, that is, in 84, to let the world know that New York was so chaotic that there was no need to re-enact. The police in New York, if there is reasonable suspicion that you are a criminal, can shoot and shoot directly, and there are not a few people who die unjustly because of this every year. Not to mention, those underworld forces and homeless children will directly break the door and rob it.

Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang say this, Zhang Shaoping's heart trembled, this is even more chaotic than Hong Kong, and it has reached the point of lawlessness. In contrast, Manhattan is much safer because of the concentration of large companies and large conglomerates, and the intensity of law and order is much greater.

The Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, these office spaces are not only expensive, but also popular places for bombers, and Zhang Shaoping has never thought about it.

Renting an office building in Manhattan, even if it is an old "B" grade office building, costs at least US$35 per square meter, while Zhang Shaoping's office space is US$47 per square meter, or about US$7,100 for more than 150 square meters, which is converted into more than HK$40,000.

And the better office building, if it doesn't start at $150, you can't take it at all.

This rent is already quite high. In Hong Kong, for example, before the real estate bubble burst, the highest rent per square meter of first-class office space in Central was about 300 Hong Kong dollars, which is similar to the New York office building rented by Zhang Shaoping.

The matter of preparing for the establishment of the company, with Jiang Zhiqiang's help and Hu Mufang, the legal secretary, was there, and the lease contract and the like were easily handled. Then the decoration, the purchase of office equipment, the recruitment of personnel, etc., are all Hu Junyi, Tina. Brown did it all with one hand.

"Boss, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, do you have someone you like? If not, I'll have to hire them all at once. ”

Zhang Shaoping groaned: "Don't worry, there is someone I want to contact, and I will give you an answer then." ”

"How long will it take?"

"Two days."

Send Tina away. After Brown, Zhang Shaoping immediately called the person who had already made an appointment. The other party said the location, and it turned out to be the New York Toy Fair.

When I got to the ground, I found the café and went in to see that there were 5 people with Asian faces, and only two women and one man were sitting alone. And the person who made the appointment was a woman, and when Zhang Shaoping didn't know who it was, he saw the woman in her 30s waving to him.

Zhang Shaoping walked over with Hu Mufang and Chen Feihu, and asked with a smile: "Miss Wang Weiwei?" ”

"It's me. Are you Mr. Zhang Shaoping? Wang Weiwei shook hands with Zhang Shaoping, and said with a smile, "Ayu told me that Mr. Zhang is too young, I still don't believe it, I can't imagine that I am really shocked to see a real talent." ”

"Hehehe, poor children are in charge of the family early, who told me that my parents died early, and there is a young sister to raise, I can't go out of the society to make money." Zhang Shaoping said with a smile.

After introducing Hu Mufang and Chen Feihu, everyone sat down.

Weiwei Wang was born in Manhattan, New York, and is a true Chinese-American New Yorker.

New York's bustling and diverse fashion climate, my mother's rigorous and meticulous pursuit of fashion philosophy, and my father's deep and restrained style. The national complex has created a keen sense of fashion and unique insights for Wang Weiwei in her childhood. When she was younger, she practiced figure skating and then returned to her favorite fashion industry, where she worked as a fashion editor for 11 years at Vogue magazine, starting in 1972.

This is a woman with a great story, and she has a high appreciation for clothing, perfumes, jewelry, shoes, and furniture design. When Tan Yanyu came to New York the year before last, she met her at a fashion show. The two are also aligned. The country has a very affectionate knot of women, and the design style in fashion is branded. national elements, thus leading to confidants.

Zhang Shaoping's intention, Wang Weiwei knows, she grew up in the West, developed a straightforward surname, she elegantly stirred the coffee in the cup with a porcelain spoon, and said with a shallow smile: "Zhang Sheng, give me a reason to convince me, I did a good job in Vogue magazine, why did I jump to your small company with an uncertain future?" ”

"Miss Wang has been working as a fashion editor in Vogue magazine for 11 years, and she has all the skills and qualifications, but she has never been promoted, so she doesn't want to change her work environment?"

has been in the same position for 11 years, and it is likely that he will continue to do it depending on the situation, Zhang Shaoping doesn't believe that Wang Weiwei has no idea. No matter how good the sofa is, it will hurt your butt, let alone work?

Wang Weiwei smiled: "I am a senior in the fashion industry, even if I want to change the environment, isn't it better to "ELLE" and "LIFE" magazines? Why bother with your small company? ”

"The mountain is not high, but there is a fairy; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Zhang Shaoping chanted "Burrow" in a frustrated manner, and said violently and forcefully, "Although "Fashion" is small and ambitious, isn't it just right for you, a fairy, to show your strengths? ”

Zhang Shaoping borrowed the words of "The Burrow", not only expressed his determination and ambition to become bigger and stronger, but also praised Wang Weiwei, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Weiwei nodded and said with a light smile: "Also, this condition alone is not enough." ”

Zhang Shaoping took a sip of coffee and continued: "Last year, Newhouse spent $15 million to reopen Vanity Fair, offering the editor-in-chief an annual salary of $350,000, although I don't have the wealth of this media mogul, but I can still offer an annual salary of $350,000. And I can also invest 10 million US dollars in the opening fee, which is enough sincerity, right? ”

With an annual salary of 350,000 US dollars and nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars, this sincerity is indeed enough. You must know that Hu Mufang has several positions such as assistant, legal secretary, official secretary, and private secretary, and has done several jobs with an annual salary of 100 Hong Kong dollars. In this regard, Wang Weiwei is satisfied.

"The third and most important point, it's hard to get anywhere else!"

"Oh, that's it, you say."

Zhang Shaoping was halfway through his words, and suddenly stopped talking and drank coffee slowly. After satisfying everyone's appetite, he uncovered the mystery and said: "Miss Wang, I learned from Tan Yanyu that you have always had the intention of developing in the fashion industry, and now I will give you an opportunity to fully support you in designing fashion and creating a surname brand." ”

Wang Weiwei was really moved when she heard this condition, raised her eyebrows, and asked: "Aren't you afraid that my fashion design will hollow you out?" ”

Zhang Shaoping laughed and said: "You all know that I started in trade, and then made a career in fashion, in my opinion, whether it is paper media or film and television media, only the organic combination with the surrounding related industries is the best!" Therefore, I have been sponsoring costumes for film and television dramas in Hong Kong, even if your design is a failure and no one wants the finished product, I can also provide it to the crew, with the help of the influence of film and television, it will be scattered to various places, and it will never be lost! ”

There is a sentence, Zhang Shaoping didn't say it, how could his clothes lose money, he made a lot of money. Take "Best Partner" as an example, the costume design of the characters in it is all provided by the company's designers Liu Beiji and Xia Jiamao as consultants, and when the movie is popular, the company immediately launches a limited edition series of clothing for "Best Partner", all of which are sold at high prices. Not only the "Best Partner" series, but even the extremely street-heavy "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Zhong Yihong's surname dress was also sold by Zhang Shaoping with a gimmick of erotic clothing, and more than 20,000 sets were sold at a high price in half a month, and many noblewomen, mistresses, and celebrities continue to place orders.

Of course, there are also some film and television drama series with poor sales and a lot of money, but even if these ready-to-wear clothes can't be sold, Zhang Shaoping has also moved a super large warehouse to keep these clothes. After twenty or thirty years, these things are all treasures, and they will definitely be snapped up as nostalgic items.

Wang Weiwei was willing to come out to meet with Zhang Shaoping, talking about this, she had the intention of changing her job, and when she heard Zhang Shaoping's conditions, she was extremely satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhang Sheng, you persuaded me." ”

"Hehehe, then when can we sign the contract?"

Wang Weiwei took a sip of coffee elegantly and said, "Next week, I can report to the company." ”
