Chapter 34 The Mansion

After Xu Anhua left, Zhang Shuping picked up the text folder placed on the conference table, handed it to Shen Chong, and said: "Mr. Shen, this is the cover design of the first issue of "First Film Review", you can see if there is anything that needs to be changed." ”

With a blue-gray background, the name of the magazine is written in cursive script, with a side photo of Run Shaw sitting in the middle, and the headlines of several important contents of the magazine at the bottom right.

It looks concise and unpretentious, but the proportions of the photos and text are well grasped, and the details are very good, giving people a solemn and square feeling.

"That's good, just use this." Shen Chong was very satisfied, he picked up the pen, signed his name on the cover of the approval book, and said, "Send it to the printing house, and you can start printing." ”

"Okay, I'll let someone do it." Zhang Shuping put away the text folder and walked out of the conference room.

After the filming of "Crazy Robbery" ended, Shen Chong hired Zhang Shuping with a high salary and asked him to be the art director of the magazine, specializing in the overall art style design of the two magazines.

Shen Chong originally planned to do "First Film Review" at the beginning of the month, but unfortunately the draft was not completed, and it dragged on for a few days, so he hurried and hurried, and finally got it done before Easter.

Hong Kong implements a Western holiday system, and Easter will have a few days off, which is conducive to holding events, and the first Academy Awards can be held on the first anniversary of the journal next year.

Shen Chong pondered in his heart for a while, then stood up and said to Li Kaiyuan, who was reading the movie magazine: "My business is done, let's go, go and do your business." ”

"The covers are full of beautiful female stars." Li Kaiyuan pursed his lips, put down the magazine, picked up his coat, and said, "The purpose of your magazine is to get close to these women, right?" ”

Shen Chong glanced at the issue where Zhao Yazhi made the cover, so he smiled bitterly: "Everyone is a child's mother, what am I doing when I approach her?" ”

"You are a big pervert, and you don't even let go of an old foreign woman who is dozens of years old." Li Kaiyuan scoffed, she was worried about Shen Chong spending money to invite Barbara to dinner, "Do you care if people have children?" ”

"I'm not as bad as you say." As the two became closer and closer, Shen Chong spoke more and more casually, "I only poison unmarried girls, and wives don't touch them." ”

"Beast!" The two walked out of the conference room while arguing.

Just a few steps away, Shen Chong was stopped by Rover.

"Mr. Shen, this is the sales of the last issue of the magazine." Rover took a few report sheets and looked excited, "The last issue sold more than 17,000 copies, setting a new record. ”

Letting go of Li Kaiyuan's hand, Shen Chong took the report, and while reading it, he asked, "How is the reader investigation?" ”

"Seventy percent of them are young people under the age of 28, and a quarter are white-collar workers with higher education backgrounds." Rover had obviously done his homework, and he just opened his mouth to come, "We did questionnaires at several universities, and the feedback was very good, and more than 80% of readers had a very good impression of the magazine. ”

"Good, hard work." Shen Chong nodded in approval, and after reading the report, he returned it to Rover and said, "The sales over there in Central have increased greatly, and we will put more money on that side in the next issue." ”

"Okay, I got it." Rover answered, turning to leave.

"By the way, who's on the cover of the next issue?"

"It's Hu Yinmeng." Rover explained: "Yu Rentai and Chen Xinjian made a police film, which will be released in a while, and she is the starring role." (Note 1)

It turned out to be her, Shen Chong nodded, indicating that he understood.

Yu Rentai and Chen Xinjian are both members of the new wave, "Solanella" is the two of them tinkering with the script, and then looking for Yan Hao to shoot it, they are all acquaintances, selling personal favors, and letting the starring actors appear on the cover of the magazine and do a publicity, there is no problem, besides, Hu Yinmeng is known as Taiwan's No. 1 temperament beauty, and using her as the cover is also good for the magazine. "Who is Hu Yinmeng?" Li Kaiyuan rarely watches entertainment news, and Hu Yinmeng mainly exhibits in Taiwan, and has never heard of her name.

"A beautiful actress in Taiwan." Shen Chong took her arm and said half-truthfully: "It's one of the objects of my hunt." ”

……

Li Kaiyuan came to the magazine to find Shen Chong to look at the house together, and after a few hesitations, she still did not resist the temptation of the mansion in the middle of the levels.

Second-hand, decorated, rough, after following the intermediary to a few places, Shen Chong saw that Li Kaiyuan was still interested, and couldn't help but complain: "Sister Yuanyuan, you should ask Aunt Liu to be a military advisor for such a thing as buying a house." ”

"Since you helped my mother open a dumpling shop, she is now single-mindedly pounced over there, and I can't move."

"Isn't it!" Shen Chong was surprised and said, "There is a chef and a buddy, what is she busy with?" ”

"What kind of personality is my mother, you don't know yet?" Li Kaiyuan said while inspecting the house type: "She can't be idle, she is busy working, and she is ready to be a chef herself and make some Sichuan specialties in the store." ”

After eating dumplings at the Wan Chai Pier that time, the figure of the little Lori washing dishes has been haunting Shen Chong's mind, and then he went to patronize it a few times, and after hearing about what happened to the stall owner, he couldn't help but sigh.

The middle-aged woman who set up the stall was originally a nurse in a hospital in Qingdao, but two years ago quit her job and went to Thailand to join her husband.

Although setting up a stall is tiring and hard, she is still very hard to pursue progress, after each guest has eaten, she will write down her opinions, and then keep improving, Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving, Shen Chong is not a good person, there is no hobby of helping people for no reason, but he appreciates this positive attitude towards life very much, so he decided to help them.

So he found Aunt Liu, who had nothing to do at home, to come forward, hire the middle-aged woman with generous treatment, and co-opened a dumpling shop, and after it opened, business was very good.

After accompanying Li Kaiyuan for an afternoon, it was not until the lights came on that Shen Chong ended his painful journey to see the house, he decided to reward himself, called a car, and went straight to the Mandarin Hotel in Central, where the restaurant is very famous, just go and try it.

In the restaurant, Li Kaiyuan put several real estate leaflets on the dining table and asked, "Which one do you say is better to buy?" ”

Shen Chong pointed to one.

"Jiahuiyuan?" Li Kaiyuan took it seriously, picked up the booklet, read it for a while, frowned and said, "It's good, but it's too expensive, and it's a bit big, more than 3ooo." (Note 2)

"Don't pay it all at once." Shen Chong said weakly: "You are not like me, burning money everywhere, what are you doing with millions in your hands?" Money can't have sons. Buy it early, Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, and luxury homes in Mid-Levels will only get more and more expensive, even if you don't live in it, it's good to be an investment. ”

"You also know that you are burning money!" Li Kaiyuan glanced at him, and then said: "If I buy this house, if you lack money in the future, you won't be able to help." “

Shen Chong was moved in his heart, when he first burned money, he embezzled a lot of Li Kaiyuan's due profits from the Rubik's Cube Company, but she never complained, but kept her own money in case Shen Chong needed it from time to time.

"It's okay, Sister Yuan Yuan." Shen Chong comforted: "I'm not short of money recently, just buy here, the conditions are good, the surrounding facilities are complete, and it is decorated and convenient." ”

"Okay then." Li Kaiyuan was quite moved, but women always hesitate to buy things, after the waiter brought the food, she put away the booklet, and said: "Your opinion is not reliable, bring Xinxin to help me refer to it in two days." ”

"Whatever you want." Shen Chong doesn't care, anyway, the house in the middle of the mountain, whichever set you buy, you will make a sure profit, "By the way, does Sister Xin also want to buy a house?" ”

"Yes, she is going to buy it from He Wentian." Li Kaiyuan said: "She admires you for the five bodies, and often asks me if you are doing new projects outside, looking at that posture, you just sold her, and she also helped you count the money." ”

Shen Chong smiled and said, "Does she regret that she didn't invest some money to make a Rubik's Cube together?" ”

"Of course I regret it." Li Kaiyuan remembered the original situation, and said with some emotion: "At that time, she only needed to invest 1o million yuan, and now she can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends every month, and the big money-making opportunity has slipped away, can you not regret it." ”

"Where's the worm?" Shen Chong cut the steak and asked, "He is also a veteran of the company, why haven't I seen him a few times?" ”

"Ah Worm is very powerful now, and he is responsible for the production and transportation of the factory, and he has never gone wrong, and he is one of the two pillars of our company."

"I still have vision, and I have long seen that Ah Worm has talent." Shen Chong praised himself, then put down the knife and asked, "The other pillar can't be that little white face, right?" ”

"Of course." Li Kaiyuan took a fork and forked the pasta, both of them were from the grassroots, and they were not used to eating Western food, "Zheng Ziwen has a strong work ability, after he came to the company, the sales volume in the North American market has doubled continuously, do you think it is a pillar?" ”

"Zheng Ziwen? This name is too soft, no wonder others are so motherly. Shen Chong wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "The good sales in the North American market are entirely due to me." ”

"Come on!" Li Kaiyuan was disdainful and said: "Do you know how to declare customs and go to sea, do you know how much time it takes for freight to go to North America, and do you know how to contact customers in major states in North America?" ”

"Those who work hard govern people." Shen Chong said shamelessly: "My storage zài is to point out the direction and let you run." ”

"It's so thick-skinned!" Li Kaiyuan's eyes fluttered, and he said: "Okay, I know you are very powerful, you are the smartest person in the world." ”

……

After dinner, after Shen Chong recovered his energy, he started to make a phone call to Aunt Liu, lying that Li Kaiyuan was going to work overtime in the factory, and then opened a suite in the Mandarin Hotel.

It was still early and he was not in a hurry to roll the sheets, so Shen Chong took Li Kaiyuan and walked into a clothing store called "joyceboutique" in the hotel.

Before he invited the crew of "Crazy Robbery" last time, he bought the costumes here and felt pretty good, so he brought Li Kaiyuan over and prepared to buy her a few clothes.

After walking around the store, Li Kaiyuan dragged Shen Chong out and said in a low voice: "The clothes are so expensive here, let's change places?" ”

At this moment, a bewitching woman dressed in gold and silver walked by, she sneered, swept the two of them with a look full of superiority, and then walked away with an obvious expression of disdain and disdain.

Li Kaiyuan's face turned red.

Shen Chong's heart was on fire - Nima, it's not easy! After traveling for so long, I finally met a strange man who begged to be slapped in the face......
