Chapter 1200: Fierce Fight! Master & Apprentice 42 (Medium)
Ding Ding Dong
There was a sound of tapping, and Whit was holding a light and shadow phone, on which was the blueprint of an academy, and more than twenty workers were busy working on a five-story building, which was being built and the land was being leveled little by little.
"Principal Whitt, have you already thought of a name for the school?"
At this time, in a shed at the back of the construction site, Chris walked out wearing a worker's uniform.
"It's called Shotoku, it's a women's college! Mr. Chris, thank you so much for your help. ”
Chris shook his head.
"We have to do something, Principal Whitt."
Hui Jie nodded, the school atmosphere in the city nowadays, in addition to the more stable middle and upper classes, many lower class schools, the proportion of female education is much lower than the proportion of male education, which is not a good situation.
Men and women are born with a problem of differentiation, and many parents even do not let the girls in their families complete basic education, and in recent years, with the increase in newborns, the cost of education has also begun to rise.
Most people have the consideration of marrying their daughters, and basically after six years of simple primary school education, they will let their daughters return home, go to work or wait for the age to get married.
Part of this is also affected by family marriage, which did not appear overnight, but subtly radiated from the upper class to the middle and lower classes, and many people were affected to a certain extent.
Higher levels of education require more time and money, and the education subsidies of the past can no longer meet the overall education needs of the city today, because most of the tax revenue has begun to gradually transfer to the next mega construction project in the city.
After several years of consideration, Whitt finally decided to establish this Saintoku Girls' College, which only admits girls, this is a private college, and Whitt intends to run this women's school well, so that some affiliated girls' primary schools can be opened in various places, so as to effectively solve the current situation.
During this period, Chris helped Whitt a lot, and Locke and other students in the Department also contributed some money to let Whit run the school, but the guy King Xue came a while ago and asked Whit to include the school in the supervision of Congress.
After that, Whitt got a grant from Congress, although he didn't want to admit that the guy had helped him implicitly, but Whitt was angry that he was still the same as before, and there was no change in the slightest.
"The teachers I recommend should be Principal Whitt, who will come after the festival, and you can just talk to them when the time comes."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chris, for helping me so much."
Chris smiled and nodded.
"If we don't do anything about it, it's going to get worse and worse."
The two walked to the school building under construction and discussed some educational policies, but Whitt was worried about financial problems.
"Although it is really difficult, as long as you carry it over, when the girls' primary school is established a little more, the problem of funds should be alleviated, if it really doesn't work, you can only enroll some children from upper-class families whose grades are not too good!"
Whitt pondered quietly, and finally nodded.
"Or you go to Alpha. Angus helps. ”
Whitt looked a little embarrassed and shook his head.
"Alpha has personally donated all of her salary to this school, I can't ask her to help me anymore, after all, ......."
"I'm sorry, Principal Whit."
Chris smiled and tilted his head.
"In the future, more industries will rise in the city, the city will become better and better, and education will become the key to the city's future!"
10:01 a.m
Major media are reporting on the buying frenzy in the city, Su Li is very unhappy while watching the news, while looking at Baozhen next to her, today is the first time in her life that she has made concessions.
Bao Zhen was leisurely drinking tea and looking at some documents.
"If you want to eat here, I'll tell the back kitchen."
"No need."
Su Li walked to Bao Zhen's side, and looked at some of the survey documents about the clothing market on Bao Zhen's light and shadow screen.
Although I don't want to admit it, but Baozhen's advice is reasonable, only by giving up a part of the market, can we continue to make stable money in the future, the low-end market is gradually given out, to those hungry small and medium-sized businessmen, they just want to make money, just make money for them.
The low-end clothing market is not very profitable, but the high-end clothing market is different, the profit margin is very large, last night Baozhen gave a lot of information and suggestions, and finally Su Li agreed.
Then Su Li received a call from Honghong in the film and television area last night, and the two sides can cooperate in depth, which is unimaginable to Su Li, Honghong's woman will actually look for herself, but Su Li also understands that it is this fat woman who has done something.
In return for ceding the middle and lower markets, it is to cooperate directly with the entertainment film and television industry to launch high-end clothing for celebrities to wear, which is far more effective than advertisements in the sky.
In the end, the two sides also had a very pleasant discussion, and some kind of consensus was successfully reached.
"What the hell are you doing behind the scenes, you dead pig?"
Su Li said with a smile, her hands pressed on Baozhen's shoulders, and she shook her head.
"I'll give you one more piece of advice!"
Baozhen raised her head in enjoyment, Su Li was in a good mood today, it was really very good, and in the future, the profits of their Su family would far exceed that of now.
"Sanlian is selling off some of its food purchase channels."
Su Li giggled.
"It's really not profitable to make food now, I think it's ......."
"If you believe me, buy this part of the channel, I think it's good to be prepared."
Su Li hesitated for a moment and then laughed.
"It's your sister, their Sanlian company has begun to fall now, why haven't you been in touch for many years?"
"It's none of her to do it, if you believe me, buy a portion of the food channel and try to do it for a while."
Su Li sighed and sat down next to Baozhen.
"Tell the truth, fat pig! If you're telling the truth, I'll help your sister, and it's still okay to spend tens of millions on a food channel. ”
Baozhen was a little moved, and finally she nodded.
"Please help her once."
“OK! I'll give you a fat pig and tell the kitchen that I want to eat seafood today. ”
Baozhen smiled and shook her head.
"If you want to eat and buy it yourself, our company doesn't have the money."
Su Li smiled helplessly, stood by the window, looked at the deserted street below, and looked back at Baozhen.
Su Li didn't think about all this, this guy is extremely important to her now, and she has put down her face for the sake of profit, for Su Li, it is really more uncomfortable than death, this feeling is difficult to tell.
Su Li used to think that this guy was just an idiot, but gradually realized that this guy had done too many things in secret, and Su Li knew that she couldn't do these things.
At this time, Su Li took out the phone and found Baochun's number after rummaging for a while.
"Boss Su, is there something wrong?"
Su Li frowned slightly.
"Are you still in the arms of men?"
There was a burst of charming laughter on the phone, and Baozhen's face became a little solemn for a while.
"I want to buy some of your company's food channels, I wonder if you're interested in selling them?"
"Sell, sell, sell, where are you, Boss Su? Let's have a meal together, and we can finalize it right away. ”
Su Li sighed helplessly.
"You come to our house tonight, bring your company's materials with you, and we'll draw up a contract."
After Su Li hung up the phone, she looked at Baozhen with a relieved look.
"Satisfied?"
Bao Zhen said thank you, and then said again.
Su Li sighed helplessly.
"Otherwise, I will arrange for you sisters ........"
Baozhen stood up and shook her head.
"I can't reconcile with her in my life, it's my own problem, not hers, I'm sorry! If you want to eat seafood, I'll go out and buy it for you now. ”
Su Li pressed Baozhen back into her chair.
"Tell me, where did you go that night four years ago? I'd love to know how the city will change, and what is hidden within it. ”
Baozhen shook her head.
"You'll know Sulie, in the near future."
10:51 a.m
On a shooting site in the film and television area, Lanny looked at the pictures shot on the light and shadow screens, and discussed with several assistant directors next to him about the color grading of the pictures and whether they needed to be reshot.
Some of the actors were resting on the sidelines, many of them were a little tired, some of them were a little angry, and Lenny was extremely strict on set, and he didn't care about the feelings of others, and he was in control.
"Xingyuan, come here."
Lenny said, and Xingyuan, who was wearing a screenwriting work card, leaned over.
"This part of the script, I think it should be revised again, we will have a small meeting later, by the way, Beckinsale should come over, you go and pick her up."
Xingyuan smiled and walked quickly away from the blocked shooting site, and soon Xingyuan came to a bustling street, and sure enough, on the side of the street, Beckinsale leaned next to a red car, smoking a cigarette and waiting quietly.
"Miss Beckinsale, follow me."
"No, I'm not going in, if Lenny wants to continue filming, let's just have dinner together."
At this time, Xingyuan noticed Honghong in the car and looked at him with a smile.
"Ms. Honghong."
"Xingyuan, if you have time, how about you help our company write a script, come to my house in a few days."
Xingyuan looked a little embarrassed, and Beckinsale pointed to the filming location.
"I'm going to have a meeting with Director Lenny later, sorry, I'll talk about it when I have time."
Honghong looked at Beckinsale with resentment.
"It's really stingy to lend him something to us."
"Shut up Honghong, have you promulgated the code of conduct for entertainment industry personnel that I asked you to promulgate?"
Honghong knocked on the car door.
"Get in the car, I'm starving, let's go eat."
Soon the car came to a street with Gothic-style buildings, and as soon as the two stepped into a restaurant, a waitress came to greet Beckinsale.
Some of the young actors who didn't seem to have taken off their makeup were eating, and they all greeted her seriously after seeing Beckinsale.
"Yo, the head of the entertainment industry."
Beckinsale didn't say anything, dragged off his brown trench coat, set it aside on the couch, and ordered something to eat.
"But Beckinsale, what about CBV?"
Honghong asked tentatively, he knew that Beckinsale had a way to solve their company's dilemma, so he went to Beckinsale's door early in the morning to pick her up, hoping that Beckinsale would use his connections to help them sort it out.
Nowadays, "Special Warfare Zero" in Jiang's film and television company is difficult to pass the review because of censorship problems, and now the boss of the media industry in the city is CBV, and if you want to broadcast it in the media, you have to pass the review, as long as CBV does not nod, this TV series cannot be broadcast.
"Figure it out for yourself."
Honghong leaned over coquettishly.
"Don't be so ruthless, how about I introduce you to a few handsome guys, you ......."
Beckinsale laughed.
"I'm not ........"
"You can do a little favor, with our friendship."
Beckinsale thought for a moment and then pulled out the phone.
"What a surprise, Ms. Beckinsale, that you would call me."
A gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm sorry, can you let the follow-up episodes of "Special Warfare Zero" pass the review."
"I see, Ms. Beckinsale, it's just a small thing!"
The phone hung up, Honghong looked at Beckinsale with some surprise, the voice of the guy on the phone seemed to have been heard somewhere, it was King Xue.
Just as Beckinsale was about to ask questions, the phone rang.
"Boss Pan, Happy New Year."
In less than 10 seconds, Honghong nodded with a smile.
"I'm going to have a good drink with you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Honghong felt more and more numbness on her back, goosebumps rose, but in just four years, Beckinsale has been completely different from the past way of swallowing his anger, doing things very high-profile, and there are a large number of people under his hands.
In the entire entertainment industry, no one dares not to give Beckinsale face.
"By the way, Beckinsale, who did you call just now?"
"You don't need to know that."
By this time the dish had been served, very quickly, and Beckinsale began to eat.
"Do you want to come to our house tonight?"
"No, no."
Honghong laughed helplessly.
"The next step is your ascent to the top, when."
"When you see it, if you don't reveal a word of superfluous words, do you hear clearly?"
Honghong smiled and nodded.
"I see, Chief!"
Just after 11 o'clock
Charles stood quietly at the gate of Alberen's house, constantly greeting the guests who came in, he looked at the lawn of the mansion behind him with some embarrassment, Freya did not come to greet her, obviously she invited the guests, but Freya did not come, but waited for these guests to pass.
Most of them are in the medical field, from well-known doctors and directors to the bosses of medical companies, and Charles wants to take the opportunity to talk to these bosses about his family's entry into the medical market.
"That's no problem, Mr. Charles, if your family wants to come in, you can come in at any time."
Charles looked at the boss in front of him excitedly, and many people also echoed and expressed their willingness to help.
At this time, Charles was extremely happy in his heart, Freya has such a huge network, which Charles dare not imagine, this morning he heard Freya say that he wanted to invite some friends to his home, at first Charles was a little surprised, thinking that it might be her classmates, but he didn't expect it to be people in the medical circle, those famous guys have come, and even people from the Hillman family have come.
At this time, in the distance, a group of people walked towards this side, led by Eddie. Hillman.
Charles hurriedly smiled and greeted him.
"Mr. Eddie, welcome over, I didn't expect ........"
Eddie just smiled politely, and without waiting for Charles to say anything more, he led hundreds of people into Albert's house.
Charles froze, he smiled a little awkwardly, looking at a group of people with extremely dignified faces, completely different from the appearance of many people who came in before.
After a while, all the medical circles in the 120 districts of the city who could be ranked were quietly sitting on the seats that had been arranged, a total of more than 400 people, Charles walked over, just standing in the distance and watching, while his wife Freya was sitting quietly in front of a table at this time.
For a moment, Charles felt shocked, he had never seen this scene, he never thought that Freya would be able to respond like this, and as long as the family had Freya's help, it would definitely be among the top families.
"Everyone, welcome here, lunch is ready, and I'm sure you should know what I'm doing here."
Bang bang bang
Eddie clapped his hands, smiled and stood up and bowed, and the people around him began to clap their hands as well.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
As Eddie spoke, many people from the Hillman family looked at Freya with grim faces.
"In two years, the internal agreement on the antitrust law signed between you and the Congress will expire, and I just want to talk about reducing the share of the medical market held by you."
The moment Freya stood up as she spoke, she slapped her hand on the table with an imposing hand.
"Aren't there two more years?"
Eddie stared at Freya, he was already furious, he originally thought that Freya was not a threat to them, and when he came to his senses, his own medical association, in front of Freya, was not a fart.
"If you really wait for the contract to expire, there is no time to adjust, and these two years are considered the adjustment of the buffer period, is there a problem? President Eddie. ”
Eddie walked slowly in front of Freya.
"What if I say I'm going to wait two years before adjusting?"
"Then there is only one ........ answer"
Freya stared at Eddie and raised a hand to bring up a panel of light and shadow.
"In the next two years, there won't be any companies outside the Hillman family that will work with you."
For a moment, Eddie's face turned hideous, the medical industry was the spider-type industry of their Hillman family, and now Freya actually wanted to cut it all in advance.
"Don't go too far, Freya."
"It's not that I'm too Eddie, I've earned enough in 10 years, and many people in the city have been paying for your expensive medical care in the past ten years, it's enough!"
At this time, a chart appeared on the light and shadow screen, and Eddie became even more angry in an instant.
"How the hell did you find out?"
"It's a very simple question, I remember that you were very good at statistics in school, although the values are not necessarily 100% accurate, but in the past ten years, your Hillman family has made at least 20 billion yuan from medical profits."
Many people under the stage looked at this icon excitedly, and Eddie walked in front of Freya, pressed his hands on the table, and pressed his ten fingers the table, swiping.
"You're trying to force me, Freya."
"I'm not forcing you Eddie, I'm helping you!"
Eddie laughed and shook her head, as Freya looked at the table and chairs that had been set up next to her.
"If you have anything you want to talk about, please talk slowly during the meal, and you must give me a clear answer at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Eddie, I don't care what you think, remember 2 o'clock, give me an answer."
Eddie looked at Freya angrily.
"Otherwise, I will do it to Eddie, you should know what kind of temper I had when I was in school."
Many people got up and bowed to Freya, and then walked to the place where they were eating with a smile, Eddie pressed his head quietly, and Eddie was a little panicked at this moment.
Before she knew it, Freya was already standing in this position, and no matter what means she used, she couldn't be dragged down from here, and the other guys in the city were the same.
Eddie had already expected the arrival of this crisis, but he was only intoxicated by the plan to seize the Angus family, and without noticing at all, Freya had taken full control of the medical industry.
"Mr. Eddie, do you want me to talk to my wife for you?"
Charles ran over just in time, and Eddie stared coldly at the mustache and shook his head.
"Mr. Charles, you've been Freya's husband for over 20 years."
Eddie patted Charles on the shoulder and smiled as he walked over to the place to eat, knowing very well that Freya would really do that, with the help of those annoying special administrators, and now that Lyons was dying, the other major guilds were dead in name only.
All the channels and forces that can be used have collapsed in the past 20 years, Eddie only felt a chill at this moment, the poison that X once said, deep into the bone marrow, he has now seen with his own eyes, these guys have spent 20 years, to completely change the pattern of the city.
And to get up from the ruins of nothing, this is frightening, Prometheus miscalculated, and the crisis was 10 years earlier.
Originally, Eddie thought that 10 years of preparation would be enough, but now the Eight Great Associations have completely collapsed.
"Freya, why don't we discuss it with Mr. Eddie, it's too impersonal, and it's ........"
Freya shook her head as she looked at her smiling husband beside her.
"I've already said that, Charles, and if you have a good ear, I don't want to go into any more details."
Charles, slightly embarrassed, followed his wife and entered the family mansion.
"Can our family also get a piece of the pie, Freya, this is a great opportunity, you have so many connections and resources, we just need to throw money into it, we can ......."
"You're still the same Charles, I've said it a long time ago, I'm not going to take advantage of other people's trust in me to do this kind of thing."
Charles looked at his wife who went upstairs with a solemn face, and looked at the people in the courtyard outside with some annoyance for a while.
He couldn't understand and couldn't understand that it was such a good opportunity, if Freya had the heart, she could enter the medical market, so that the Alberon family could go to the next level, including the people on Freya's side were also persuading Freya, but she never let go.
"We can't afford to see such a great opportunity go down the drain."
Freya returned to her study with a relaxed face, and as soon as she entered, Freya laughed.
"Well done, Your Majesty!"
Jean leaned against the window, cigarette in his mouth, Freya closed the door, walked over to Jean and sat down, and laughed happily.
"Look at the news!"
Freya quickly turned on the news, and she quietly watched the news reports about the Bar Association, which had been dissolved by Congress because of all the negative news, and Pullman would take over the rectification of the chaos in the legal profession.
Congress has given Pullman the authority to make adjustments and corrections to the legal profession in all aspects.
"We won Mr. Jean, 20 years!"
Tears flowed down her face as Freya spoke, and Jean stroked her forehead with one hand.
"Ah, you won, you punctured the monster's belly, but the students I taught were not as gentle as these guys."
Freya nodded.
"I'm looking forward to the fact that our real showdown has never begun, and the city will be more prosperous."
Freya pulled the coin out of her bosom, and Jean stared at it quietly.
"Come on! The next mega construction is imminent, it's up to you, do everything you can to pull the reins of the monster, and everything that follows is the real experience for you. ”
Freya nodded, stood up and bowed to Jean, who smiled and stood up, half-crouched by the window.
"Say hello to Freya to those seven guys."
Looking at Jean who was leaving, Freya wiped away the tears that overflowed, and Freya still remembers everything about that morning 20 years ago.
All this is too far away, all these years, Freya has been doing all this desperately every day, and now everything has settled, no matter what the Hillman family does, they can only compromise today and hand over the market share they have occupied for a long time.
Eddie tilted his head quietly, smiling kindly, he was already a little drunk with the wine glass in his hand.
The members of the family are still talking about what to do.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, after all, I really can't do anything now."
For a moment, everyone in the nearby Hillman family looked at Eddie with solemn faces, and he laughed out loud and walked to the Ebolon mansion with a glass of wine.
Soon Eddie came to Freya's room, looked at Freya who was eating, and sat down on the sofa by himself.
"You guys are really amazing, you've been preparing for 20 years just for today! I just saw the news that the Pullman guy has taken control of the bar association. ”
Freya smiled and shook her head.
"We're not like you, Eddie, you're always alone, and sometimes there's a limit to being alone."
Eddie nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I'm always alone, if you could have promised me when I invited you before, maybe it's a different situation now!"
