Chapter 80: Layout Hollywood

Yang Chen couldn't sleep all night.

More money is not necessarily all good.

This is the second day of the New Year's Day holiday, Yang Chen finished exercising early, and saw students rushing to the library of the teaching building, sharpening their guns to cope with the exam, a phenomenon that no university can avoid.

And Yang Chen, seemingly casual, but solid learning, no need to hold on to temporarily, this self-confidence does not come from the control of book knowledge, as well as his own strong capital, if he fails the course, he can't compare to the job, he will not be unemployed, insignificant, a few years of college, as long as he does not make a faint move, he should have a successful career when he graduates, and he has a huge wealth.

Current society.

Compared with career and wealth, studies are nothing.

He returned to the dormitory, all the guys who played all night last night came back, one by one, they were covered in alcohol, fell asleep on the bed, he shook his head and chuckled, changed his clothes, and prepared to drive out for a ride, before leaving, he called and told Nalan Tongtong to tell her to take care of the family, and he came back at noon to accompany her to eat.

Nalan Tongtong obediently agreed, and didn't ask Yang Chen what he was doing in the morning.

Love is not stalking and sticky people all the time, this kind of love can only scare men away, Nalan Tongtong, who is delicate on the surface, is actually smarter than most girls who are crazy about love.

With a permanent population of 5 million, Xijing is still bustling with people even if the temperature is more than 10 degrees below zero in winter.

Yang Chen drove unhurriedly into the underground parking lot of the Vilia Commercial Building, and then crossed the street to the Pearl Commercial Plaza at the entrance of the street to see how the interior decoration was progressing.

The advertising fence that encloses the Pearl project shows a lot of information about the Pearl Commercial Plaza, Money Leopard, Starbucks, Xijing's largest HM, the world's largest cinema UA Cinema Line, and Xijing's second LV store, these eye-catching information attract passers-by to stop.

Too many brands that Xijing once did not have settled in Mingzhu, Mingzhu Commercial Plaza has not yet opened, it has been hyped, everyone knows, local TV news and newspapers have reported Mingzhu one after another, Yang Chen knows that this is Xiao Ruoshui's planning means, and the introduction of brands that Xijing did not have before, including UA cinemas, is attributed to Anna.

The two women seem to be evenly matched.

However, in Yang Chen's mind, Anna, who has the imprint of Wall Street, is better, and Anna is his confidant, and Xiao Ruoshui is an employee at best.

Before winter, the insulation layer and the heating pipe are connected, so that the workers can carry out the construction smoothly, and take turns in shifts, 24 hours a day.

I hope that it will be able to operate smoothly next spring and summer.

Yang Chen looked up at the 200-meter-high main building, full of anticipation, and wanted to go into the interior of the commercial building to take a look, but the security guard at the construction site stopped him, so he had to walk around the periphery, roughly observe the construction progress and leave, and drive to the office of Pearl Group in Shangri-La Hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, Yang Chen didn't go upstairs directly, but called Xiao Ruoshui and talked for an hour in the café in the lobby on the first floor.

Xiao Ruoshui reported on the recent situation of the Pearl Project.

Through Xiao Ruoshui, Yang Chen learned that Vilia Group, a local commercial department store giant in Xijing, has been eyeing Mingzhu and is negotiating an access mechanism with its seven shopping malls, that is, if a brand recognizes this mechanism and signs a contract, it can only enter Vilia's shopping malls.

It's a bit of an overlord clause.

However, Vilia is a local business giant, and its seven large shopping malls that occupy various business districts in Xijing have formed a brand effect, overwhelming other shopping malls, and even foreign giants such as Parkson Wangfujing Department Store are difficult to match, and Wangfujing has even fallen into a miserable situation of surviving.

The first choice for brands is, of course, Vilia.

This mechanism is not only for the pearl, but also for the Wanda Plaza, which will be opened soon.

Yang Chen frowned slightly, he knew first-hand what it means to call a shopping mall like a battlefield, and the battle in this place may not be as dangerous and bloody as on the battlefield, but it is definitely more insidious and despicable.

"What do you do?" Yang Chen asked Xiao Ruoshui.

Xiao Ruoshui said seriously: "I have formulated a set of coping strategies, but I need Sister Anna to come and discuss the final results, and I will hand over the plan to you for review." ”

Yang Chen nodded, Anna rushed to Xijing tonight, and she was not in a hurry for a while, thinking about Anna, a woman who was busy for herself, she couldn't help but be gratified.

I'm glad I didn't choose the wrong person in the first place.

Yang Chen said too much, he was thirsty, he went to get the stainless steel thermos pot on the table, Xiao Ruoshui, who was good at observing words and feelings, also hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to pour water for the boss Yang Chen, which was not flattering or flattering, it was a habit of being a subordinate.

The two men touched each other's hands.

Xiao Ruoshui's delicate face turned red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"I'll do it myself." Yang Chen said with a smile on his face, as if he was unaware of the intimate contact just now, and Xiao Ruoshui's heart turned over the river and the sea.

I don't know why every time she faces this young boss at close range, she is always inexplicably nervous, a phenomenon that has never been seen before, even if she faces Yang Guoqiang, who is famous in China.

"It's almost noon, I have to rush back to school, Anna arrives at seven o'clock in the evening, and I'll come back around six." Yang Chen drank the lemonade in the glass, patted his ass and said goodbye.

Xiao Ruoshui got up and wanted to send him off, but he waved his hand and refused, the lobby of the Shangri-La Hotel was full of people, and the beautiful boss of the Pearl Group sent him out, which was too eye-catching.

Yang Chensa detached.

Xiao Ruoshui watched the male fitness shadow drift away, and his heart was still fluctuating.

What's going on? Xiao Ruoshui asked himself again and again, feeling confused and not knowing what to do.

Yang Chen arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel on time at six o'clock in the evening, Xiao Ruoshui had arranged for someone to book a room for Anna, and Yang Chen simply waited in Anna's room.

Shangri-La's business suite, the hardware is good, the room decoration and layout into some local ethnic elements in Ningxi, quite distinctive, can be among the world's top ten hotel groups, there must be something outstanding, Yang Chen can't help but wonder what characteristics his Pearl Hotel should have in the future.

When night falls, the floor-to-ceiling windows are lit up.

Yang Chen sat on the swivel chair behind the desk, enjoying the night view of Xijing, unconsciously sleepy, closed his eyes and recuperated, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the door rang, someone came in, Yang Chen, who was half-asleep, listened to the footsteps and knew that it was Anna, didn't move, and continued to squint.

Anna thought that Yang Chen was asleep, so she lightly changed her high heels, entered the bathroom, flew from New York to Capital International Airport, and then transferred to Xijing, a journey of more than ten hours, which made her tired and urgently needed to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.

Xiao Nizi's teasing last night.

Since arriving in Xijing, I have not opened meat for several months.

Yang Chen's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he couldn't help but wonder what Anna looked naked.

"Damn, what do you want." Yang Chen woke up suddenly, a self-mocking smile appeared on his handsome face, people were busy running around for him, and he was still worried about other people's bodies, too dirty.

Yang Chen forcibly suppressed his evil thoughts and paced back and forth in the room, trying to think about other things.

About half an hour later, Anna walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, and the beauty who came out of the bath was extremely enchanting, and she took out a stack of materials from her briefcase.

"Boss, this is my new investment plan."

"There are so many, I won't be able to finish reading it for a while, you can talk about it first, I'll go back and see this thing." Yang Chen sat on the sofa in the living room with the materials.

Anna nodded, sat across from him, straightened her hair, and seemed to instantly return to the state she was in at work, and said: "This time, there are nearly 200 million US dollars more in the account, and I plan to invest half of it in the capital market of futures financial derivatives, and half of it will buy shares in Hollywood film companies. ”

"Investing in Hollywood?"

Yang Chen frowned and thought about it, Anna's idea was more unexpected than two hundred million US dollars.

"Boss, I won't ask you where your money comes from, you must go through underground money laundering channels before entering the account, but this is far from enough, you must invest repeatedly and bleach funds many times in order to avoid the review and tracking of US regulators, the film entertainment industry is the best area for money laundering, so almost all major Hollywood studios are involved with gangsters, including MGM and Columbia Pictures under Sony Pictures, and they have to secretly make appropriate concessions to the gangs."

Yang Chen heard about this and nodded slowly.

Anna continued: "And, once the downturn is over, the studios will be no less profitable than they would be in the U.S. stock market, and I'm planning to negotiate an acquisition with AMC, the second cinema chain in North America. ”

If Yang Chen's investment in the film industry was unexpected, then Anna's latter plan really shocked Yang Chen, 200 million US dollars is indeed a lot, but Anna is a drop in the bucket for Anna's plans.

"Boss, I know that the money that goes into your account will be more and more every time, so I have this confidence, and also, it will take one to two years to acquire AMC from negotiation to real money acquisition, and we have enough time to accumulate funds, as far as I know, a company called Wanda in your country is preparing to negotiate with AMC, if we miss the opportunity, AMC will become someone else's spoils of war in two years at most."

Competing with Wanda?

Yang Chen smiled, Anna's ideas were bolder than the other.

Wanda, a giant supported by commercial real estate, at least in China.

Yang Chen never thought of going toe-to-toe with Wanda now, but this animal is by no means a good old man who blindly fears the strong, otherwise he will always be the grassroots who was blinded back then, not Yang Chen today.

When it was time to fight, he would not be soft, and said slowly: "You think it is feasible, I have no opinion." ”

"I think okay, we must have the support of media theaters and other channels while we gradually control a Hollywood film company, otherwise we can't use it, MGM created countless classic film companies, went into decline, and was acquired by Sony, because this company is a pure production company, under the constraints of theaters and media, it is difficult, we can't learn from MGM."

Yang Chen was silent.

In just ten minutes, Anna delivered too much information, and he needed to think deeply.
