It was the second day of the New Year's Day holiday. Yang Chen had finished his morning exercise and saw students rushing to the teaching building and library to prepare for exams. This is an unavoidable phenomenon in any university.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, seems to be undisciplined, but he is solid in his studies. He does not need to improvise. This confidence does not come entirely from the control of book knowledge, but also from his own strong capital. If he fails the exam and cannot compare with his career, he will not be able to achieve his career.
It doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't make mistakes during his college years, he should have a successful career and huge wealth when he graduates.
Current society.
Compared to career and wealth, education is nothing.
He returned to the dormitory. The guys who played all night last night were all back. They all smelled of alcohol and fell asleep on the bed. He shook his head and chuckled, changed clothes, and prepared to drive out for a drive. Before leaving, he called Nalan Tong.
Tong told her to take good care of herself at home, and he would come back to have dinner with her at noon.
Nalan Tongtong obediently agreed without asking Yang Chen what he was doing in the morning.
Love is not about stalking and beating clingy people all the time. This kind of love can only scare men away. Nalan Tongtong, who looks cute and naive on the outside, is actually smarter than most girls who are crazy about love.
Xijing has a permanent population of five million. Even if the temperature in winter is more than ten degrees below zero, the bustling commercial streets are still bustling with people.
Yang Chen drove slowly into the underground parking lot of Welia Commercial Building, then crossed the road to the Mingzhu Commercial Plaza at the intersection of the street, wanting to see how the interior decoration was progressing.
The advertising fence surrounding the Pearl project displays a lot of information about the Pearl Commercial Plaza, Golden Leopard, Starbucks, the largest hm in Xijing, the world's largest cinema chain ua cinema chain has settled in, the second lv store in Xijing, these eye-catching information,
Attract passers-by to stop.
Too many brands that had never existed in Xijing have settled in Mingzhu. Mingzhu Commercial Plaza has not yet opened for business, but it has become very popular and everyone knows it. Local TV news and newspapers have reported on Mingzhu one after another. Yang Chen knows that this is Xiao Ruoshui's planning method, and the introduction of
The credit for UA Cinema, a brand that did not exist in Xijing before, goes to Anna.
The two women seemed equally matched.
However, in Yang Chen's mind, Anna, who has the brand of Wall Street, is better, and Anna is his confidant, while Xiao Ruoshui is an employee at best.
Before winter begins, the insulation layer and heating pipes must be installed so that workers can carry out construction smoothly and work in shifts 24 hours a day.
I hope it will be operational smoothly next spring and summer.
Yang Chen looked up at the two-hundred-meter-high main building, full of expectations. He wanted to take a look inside the commercial building, but the security guards at the construction site stopped him. He had to walk around the outside, roughly observed the progress of the construction, and then left, driving to the Pearl Group in Shangri-La.
Hotel office space.
When he arrived at the hotel, Yang Chen did not go upstairs directly. Instead, he called Xiao Ruoshui and talked for an hour in the coffee shop 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 Xijing's local commercial department store giant Vilia Group has been eyeing the Pearl and is negotiating an access mechanism with its seven shopping mall brands. In other words, if a certain brand recognizes this mechanism and signs a contract
, they can only enter the malls owned by Welia.
It's quite a bit like an overlord clause.
However, Welia is a local business giant. Its seven large shopping malls occupying various business districts in Xijing have formed a brand effect that overwhelms other shopping malls. Even foreign giants such as Parkson and Wangfujing Department Store are difficult to compete with. Wangfujing and even
Reduced to the miserable state of barely surviving.
The first choice for various brands to settle in is of course Vilia.
This mechanism is not only for the Pearl, but also for the upcoming Wanda Plaza.
Yang Chen frowned slightly, knowing firsthand what it means to be in a shopping mall like a battlefield. The battles may not be as dangerous and bloody as on the battlefield, but they are definitely more sinister and despicable.
"What countermeasures do you have?" Yang Chen asked Xiao Ruoshui.
Xiao Ruoshui said seriously: "I have formulated a set of response strategies, but I need Sister Anna to come to discuss and come up with the final result. I will hand over the plan to you for review."
Yang Chen nodded. Anna arrived at Xijing tonight, not in a hurry. Thinking about Anna, a woman running around and busy for him, he couldn't help but feel happy.
I'm glad I didn't choose the wrong person.
Yang Chen talked too much and felt thirsty, so he reached for the stainless steel thermos pot on the table. Xiao Ruoshui, who was good at observing words and expressions, also hurriedly reached out and wanted to pour water for his boss Yang Chen. This was not flattering or flattering, but as a subordinate.
a habit.
Their hands touched.
Xiao Ruoshui's delicate face turned red and she hurriedly withdrew her hands.
"I'll do it myself." Yang Chen said with a smile without changing his expression, as if he was completely unaware of the intimate contact just now, while Xiao Ruoshui's heart was in turmoil.
I don't know why she always feels inexplicably nervous every time she faces this young boss at close range. This has never happened before, even when she faces Yang Guoqiang, who is famous in China.
"It's almost noon, I have to rush back to school. Anna will arrive at seven o'clock in the evening, and I'll come back around six o'clock." Yang Chen drank up the lemonade in the glass, patted his butt and said goodbye.
Xiao Ruoshui stood up and wanted to see him off, but he waved his hand and refused. There were so many people in the lobby of Shangri-La Hotel, and the beautiful CEO of Pearl Group sent him out with a poop, which was too eye-catching.
Yang Chen left free and easy.
Xiao Ruoshui watched the male figure go away, but her heart was still filled with ups and downs.
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 Anna to book a room, so Yang Chen simply waited in Anna's room.
Shangri-La's business suites have good hardware, and the room decoration incorporates some local ethnic elements from Ningxi. It is quite unique. To be among the top ten hotel groups in the world, there must be something outstanding. Yang Chen can't help but wonder where his Pearl Hotel will be in the future.
What characteristics does it possess.
As night falls, the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are brilliant.
Yang Chen sat on the swivel chair behind his desk, admiring the night view of Xijing. Unconsciously, he felt sleepy. He closed his eyes to rest and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room rang and someone came in. Yang Chen, who was half asleep and half awake, heard the footsteps and knew it was Anna. He did not move and continued to squint.
Anna thought that Yang Chen was asleep, so she took off her high heels and entered the bathroom. She flew from New York to the Capital International Airport and then transferred to Xijing. The more than ten hours of journey made her exhausted and she urgently needed a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.
Soon the water started to flow in the bathroom, and Yang Chen, who was dozing, slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Nizi was very flirtatious last night.
Since arriving in Xijing, I have been abstaining from eating meat for several months.
Yang Chen suddenly felt an evil fire in his heart, and couldn't help but think about what Anna would look like naked.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Yang Chen was suddenly alert, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his handsome face. People were running around and busy for him, but he still cared about their bodies. It was so 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 wearing a bathrobe. The beauty emerging from the bath was particularly enchanting. She took out a stack of information from her briefcase.
"Boss, this is my new investment plan."
"There are so many, I won't be able to read them all in a while, so you can give me a brief introduction first, I'll go back and read this." Yang Chen sat on the sofa in the living room with the information.
Anna nodded, sat across from him, straightened her hair, and seemed to instantly return to her working state, saying: "This time, there are nearly 200 million US dollars in the account. I plan to invest half of it in capital markets such as futures financial derivatives, and buy half of it.
Invest in the shares of Hollywood film companies. The Hollywood film industry has been in a downturn in the past two years. It is time to buy the bottom. Among the eight major film companies, there are many shareholders who have sold their equity to cash out. We can choose one or two of them to invest in installments, and finally achieve the right to have a say in the board of directors.
Purpose."
“Invest in Hollywood?”
Yang Chen frowned and thought, Anna's idea was even more unexpected than the two hundred million US dollars.
"Boss, I won't ask you more questions about where your money comes from. It must have gone through underground money laundering channels before entering the account, but this is not enough. You must invest repeatedly and bleach the funds many times to avoid the scrutiny and tracking of US regulatory agencies. Movie
The entertainment industry is the best field for money laundering, so almost all major Hollywood film companies are involved with gangs, including Sony Pictures' MGM and Columbia Pictures, and they have to secretly make appropriate concessions to gangs."
Yang Chen heard about this and nodded slowly.
Anna continued: "Moreover, once the downturn is over, the movie company's profits will be no worse than investing in the U.S. stock market. I also plan to negotiate acquisitions with AMC, the second theater chain in North America."
If investing in the film industry was beyond Yang Chen's expectations, then Anna's last plan really shocked Yang Chen. Two hundred million dollars was indeed a lot, but Anna's plans were simply a drop in the bucket.
"Boss, I know that more money will enter your account every time, so I have this confidence. Also, the acquisition of AMC will take one to two years from negotiation to actual payment. We have enough time to accumulate funds.
, as far as I know, a domestic company called Wanda is preparing to negotiate with AMC. If we miss the opportunity, AMC will become someone else's trophy in at most two years."
Compete with Wanda?
Yang Chen smiled, each of Anna's ideas became bolder than the last.
Wanda is a giant supported by commercial real estate, at least in China.
Yang Chen never thought of confronting Wanda now, but this beast is definitely not a good old man who only respects the strong. Otherwise, he will always be the grassroots who let others look down upon him, not the Yang Chen of today.
When it was time to argue, he would not be soft-hearted and said slowly: "If you think it's feasible, I have no objection."
"I think it's OK. As we gradually control a certain Hollywood film company, we must have the support of media theaters and other channels. Otherwise, we will not be able to perform. MGM created countless classic film companies, declined, and was acquired by Sony. It is precisely because of this company
The company is a pure production company. It is struggling under the constraints of theaters and media. We cannot imitate MGM."
Yang Chen was silent.
In just ten minutes, Anna conveyed too much information, and he needed to think carefully.
