Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-one - In China (V)

Chapter 800.

Six o'clock in the morning still on time to get up, feeling the two warm and soft bodies next to him, Chen Qing stretched out his hand to grope some, leading to a murmur eating laugh, while sitting up, while also laughing: "The two of you tuned so sensible, the next time the boss comes over, I really do not know whether he will be overjoyed or furious."

Jiang Shan Dance and Jiang Yuan Chi sisters followed to get up, seeing that Chen Qing had quickly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom as if she was ruthless, with no idea of taking advantage of the early morning hours to warm up a bit, but could only silently put on clothes and quietly left the suite in the inner courtyard to return to her own room to change clothes and wash.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Qing left the inner courtyard suite neatly dressed and went to a two-storey book building in the garden next door.

The two-story antique book building, which has also been renovated, houses a collection of tens of thousands of classic books focusing on Chinese culture, and when the books were purchased, Chen Qing even invited several university professors to assist in listing them.

However, Chen Qing now preferred to use this place as an office.

When they arrived at the second floor of the book building, the Jiang Shan Dance sisters and the other two maids, Lily Favell and Christina Latham, had also arrived and were sorting and reviewing some books, newspapers and magazines from home and abroad that they had just received today, the important contents of which would be made into a presentation for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing had just sat down at the wide mahogany desk by the second floor window and opened her laptop when Lin Su walked in, bringing her own sister with her.

Noticing Lan Lin's figure, Chen Qing frowned slightly without a trace, didn't say anything in the end, and started checking today's emails.

First, there's the home-owner.

However, they also have a direct channel to contact with Simon, but neither Qing Chen nor Lin Su would bother someone too often, and would usually write one or two emails a week.

Not knowing what Lin Su would say to him, the topics Chen Qing talked about were not too formal although they would involve work, similar to little girls passing little notes to their sweethearts, trivial.

Sort of a cautionary tale to maintain a man's feelings for her.

The last email not only talked about the construction progress of the man's two properties in the two cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also talked about personally responsible for helping his boss to recruit a group of waitresses in China, are the most outstanding girls from all over China's university graduates.

Then there's Mou, who she learned from once a while back, helping to matchmaking and exchanging a shipment of amber from Ukraine for a boatload of TVs here in China.

It's very rewarding.

In addition, she noticed a very hot disco in Beijing last year, JJ Disco, and once wanted to get involved, but after a lot of inquiring, she accidentally discovered that there were some very powerful brothers behind the disco, surnamed Tang, who were using a company called Delong to capitalize on the barbaric market in China. She has asked the team at Cersei Capital's China Institute of Economic Research to follow up on the Tang brothers, who may have investment value.

And one last little thing.

The nightclub on the Beijing side, called 'Heavenly World', after this period of contact, had managed to get a 30% stake through a shell company in Hong Kong, costing $1.5 million, which was a bit expensive for Chen Qing, after all, this nightclub had only been open for a short while and seemed to be nothing special.

However, a few of the executives selected over here had been successfully inducted, and Chen Qing planned to meet with the owner of the nightclub this weekend to ask if there was anything her man needed to convey, such as reserving a special box?

Open your inbox and someone already has a response.

Nothing else was said, just a very simple statement: "China is precisely the time when you can do something serious and not always think about speculation."

Well ...... that's a lesson learned.

Chen Qing, who was learning how to play with a pencil, pursed her lips, then looked at the back, and another thing, sort of business, asked her to contact the production of a version of the past few editions of the Victoria Secret Show VCD disc, and asked for the Chinese and English names of all the Victoria Secret Angel subtitles.

Chen Qing was confused by this.

Then he couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Her own boss apparently knows all too well why China's VCD industry has risen so quickly, and no, he even personally instructed her to produce pirated copies.

That's a big handle.

After mulling it over for a moment, Chen Qing also quickly understood that her boss was planning to promote the Victoria Secret Corps in China, or perhaps even the Victoria Secret brand over here.

In fact, because of the fame is too big, the past few sessions of the VCD of the Vimy show in China is also quite popular, but, apparently, no one has yet to think to give every appearance of the angels are annotated with the name, the audience to see these CDs, want to know who is who on the catwalk, only through some newspapers and magazines to get information.

Now, with names attached, and with a little more quiet promotion, the Vermilion Army is sure to make a name for itself in China.

The next step was to start business.

Chen Qing was still a little confused about how her own boss planned to promote it.

As she was thinking, the sound of reading came from outside the window.

It was Li Youhuo and Zhu Momo two practicing their lines by the small lake in another part of the garden, thinking of Zhu Momo's tall height and the news that came from the United States these days, Chen Qing suddenly understood.

The Victoria Secret show, known as the fashion industry's 'Super Bowl', if there was a Chinese model's figure, it would definitely trigger the Chinese media's attention. Then, the Chinese media would channel it to the Chinese audience, together with the VCD of the show with the names attached, the Victoria Secret army would naturally be able to increase their fame in China.

We have learned another trick.

This one should be called going along for the ride, well, no, or making the most of the situation.

Thinking randomly about the man's brief email for a moment, Chen Qing hesitated a little and didn't reply immediately, but closed the page and started checking her work email.

Since yesterday morning, there were more than thirty accumulated emails.

The more important ones were the progress materials sent from China Telecom's IPO team.

There's also one from Jared Barclay, president of Apollo's China business at Cersei Capital, who is in Guangdong at the moment.

Westeros' China presence is non-stop.

Since Simon's visit to China in the first half of the year, Jared Barclay, who is also nominally the boss of Linsu Chen and his wife, has basically nailed it.

The team of more than 200 people, most of whom are from China, has been trained to become executives of related investment companies in the future.

In terms of capital, in addition to the $1 billion in Buckley's hands, there is also a $1 billion investment fund in the hands of Charlotte Brenita from Switzerland, a total of $2 billion. Moreover, the money will be spread among a number of different sub-funds.

Although the surface is a crowdfunded investment fund, but in the end, they are all someone's money.

Chen Qing also understands that the main reason her own boss is doing this is that she doesn't want the Westeros system to seem too ubiquitous.

Jared Buckley's email was mainly to inform about the progress of a takeover targeting a spice company in Foshan, Guangzhou, called Haitian Spices Co.

In contrast to the food and oil sector, which is heavily regulated by the Chinese government, spices are a necessity for the Chinese public without being overly regulated, and their profit margins, like those of the beverage industry, are very high, making them a recent investment priority for the food and beverage team.

Corresponding to the current trend of investment attraction in China, the local government has responded very positively to the Barclay's team's takeover offer.

The problem now is such scale.

The local government and Haitian management do not want to give all the shares away. The compromise solution discussed between the two sides is that Apollo Management will acquire about 60% of the company's equity through capital injection and share acquisition, with the local government giving up its controlling stake and Apollo Management promising to keep the existing management unchanged, while assisting the company to further expand at home and abroad, and to go public at an appropriate time in the future, so that shareholders can get more grants.

Since the email was sent, this is essentially the final proposal.

Also in the email, Buckley talks about two other projects, also both in Guangdong.

The first is for an investment in a Shenzhen-based real estate company that was established just this year, with a corporate name of Evergrande, a company whose founder, owner Xu, netted the company $200 million over the previous two years through a large real estate project in Guangzhou, and got chatted up about his feelings when talking money with his former employer and came out on his own.

Barkley said in an email that the big boss made the investment himself, generously offering 20 million yuan to buy just 40 percent of the three-month-old company, as well as $100 million in credit for the rest of the property development.

The second project was a preliminary study of a real estate company, also in Foshan.

The company is called Bi Gui Yuan.

The company, which is currently living in Foshan for the time being, is also a company that Buckley noticed by accident when he was negotiating with Haitian, and although the company is temporarily small, it has a set of hotel-style management ideas that are different from other Chinese real estate companies.

Jared Barclay also attached the details of two companies near the email.

Chen Qing read all the unread work emails on the net, opened the two real estate company information attachments sent by Buckley, pressed print, listened to the humming and running sound of the printer next to him, raised his hand and stretched, looked at his watch, it was already seven o'clock, so he turned off the computer and got up to eat breakfast.

The Jiang Shan Dance sisters skillfully stapled the information Chen Qing printed out, along with the organized newspaper clippings into two folders, holding up and following downstairs.

Lin Lan, who had been staying by her sister's side for the past half an hour, saw Chen Qing get up and leave without saying a word, so she couldn't help but nuzzle her sister again.

Lin Su was also helpless.

Although she didn't want to admit it, but actually, she had increasingly felt that she couldn't keep up with Chen Qing's pace.

It was good that, in fact, she didn't want to fight with her too much.

They were all women, or, they were all his women, so what was there to fight about?

However, this time, father's matter still needed to be discussed with Chen Qing, or even, to fight a little bit.

Following together back to the restaurant in the inner courtyard next door, waiting for the waitress to serve breakfast, Lin Su looked at Chen Qing who didn't waste any time at all while eating and looking at the materials, and finally said, "Xiao Qing, about that film city project, I wish to put it in Zhejiang, what do you think?"

Chen Qing looked up, took a glance at Lan Lin, and then asked Lin Su, "Do you know Simon's idea of layout?"

Lin Su nodded her head, she certainly knew.

That man intended to create a 'brocade book' system along the lines of the Hollywood blockbuster era, what was the Hollywood blockbuster era like, Lin Su has therefore studied, the most typical is undoubtedly the heyday of MGM, in the simplest of words, the blockbuster era's business model, is vertically integrated.

The main film production and distribution, upstream film and television bases, entertainment stars, the terminal of the movie theater line and the surrounding distribution, all inclusive.

For the current stage of the Chinese entertainment industry is basically not to talk about the industry, vertical integration is undoubtedly the most effective way to operate ideas, because the current Chinese film and television industry, everything is lacking, want to as Hollywood, the kind of agency, production companies, theater companies, a clear division of labor, it is impossible.

It is impossible to have a clear division of labor like Hollywood's agencies, production companies and cinema companies. The only way to make a difference without any constraints is to layout the whole industry chain.

Chen Qing saw Lin Su nodded and said: "I have asked Wu to contact the Suzhou government, since you understand Simon's thinking, you should know that to achieve vertical integration, tax incentives and policy support from the authorities are essential. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public, and to ensure that the company's products and services are well received by the public. The options are compared and then given to Simon, that one is better, Simon will definitely use that one."

Lin Su hadn't opened her mouth yet, Lin Lan already couldn't help but say, "One month, that's not enough time."

Chen Qing looked at her and curled her lips: "So, it depends on the sincerity of the local government, if they really intend to cooperate, one month is more than enough time, and we don't have much time to waste on our side, we have to fight for the day, Lan."

Lan Lin didn't give up and added, "Suzhou is different from Hangzhou, Hangzhou is the capital city and Suzhou is just a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu, it's very different to make decisions, and as you just said, you've already started working ahead of time, that's not fair at all."

"Where is it unfair, in fact, Suu could have done her work in advance, but she just didn't do it, it's not my fault."

"......"

Lin Lan was speechless for a moment, then looked at her indisputable sister with an expression like what have you been doing on a normal day.

Lin Su felt her sister's gaze and was somehow a little guilty.

On weekdays, she actually did whatever Chen Qing did, and she did a little bit of it. It was mainly because of the man's arrangement, the two of them were originally a pair, and they had nothing to hide from each other, it was just that, because of Chen Qing's strength, Lin Su had unconsciously ceded a lot of decision making power to the other party.

Thinking of this, Lin Su somehow felt a little aggrieved.

So she handed the thick information that she had started to read last night to Chen Qing across the street, and said in an annoyed manner, "This, you take the time to read it today, tomorrow I have to give my father a reply to them, and if you don't have any results, I will ...... take out all my money. "

"Don't you dare!"

Chen Qing also subconsciously took off, then saw Lin Su staring at only remembered looks, realizing that although the other party did not compete on a regular basis, but really pangs of tenacity, he might not be able to pull it off, so he had to soften his attitude: "Okay, okay, but I'm very busy today, only one day can not finish watching."

Lin Lan felt that her old sister had finally fought back the initiative, and was busy helping out on the side, "There's always time to squeeze in, Sister Qing, it's only a matter of time."

Ching Chen: "......"
