Chapter 319: Celebrating the New Year at Jiangs House
Xie Jiayin picked up the coffee in front of her and tasted it slowly.
Whenever I open my heart, I know that what my son is going to say next is not trivial.
This has been the routine since childhood, and it hasn't changed in twenty years.
Xie Hongzu found that his mother didn't pick up the conversation, and he couldn't talk anymore that day. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on a video:
"Mom, there's something good. Take a look."
After taking the phone, Xie Jiayin was a little curious as to what her son was going to show her.
The video that Xie Hongzu showed his mother was taken at Wang Lidong's house. He specially asked Zhu Suosuo to be a model and demonstrated several smart home usage clips.
When she saw Zhu Suosuo on the screen, Xie Jiayin almost threw her phone away.
I don’t know what kind of medicine my son has taken. He doesn’t want his dignified, generous and well-matched fiancée, so he insists on becoming a licking dog.
Are you preparing to piss yourself off?!
Looking up at her son and noticing the expectation in his eyes, Xie Jiayin temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth and read on.
In the video, Zhu Suosuo walked into the living room, sat on the sofa and said: Pearl TV. The black screen TV automatically turned on, the lights in the living room slowly lowered the brightness, and the curtains on the two windows near the living room were slowly closed.
....
"Which company is this from? Why don't I know?"
Although Xie's Group has not started this business, she has also inspected this project. So far, the so-called smart homes on the market can only be regarded as smart appliances, and there is no complete set of smart home systems. But the video she saw shows that it has been solved
solved this problem.
Seeing his mother's surprised expression, Xie Hongzu knew something was going on and hurriedly explained:
"This is Jiang Nansun's family, Suosuo's good friend. The hardware of this smart home is from the twin company, and the software was developed by friends of the Jiang family."
"Jiang Nansun?"
"Yes, you should have heard of her father's name, Jiang Pengfei, the boss of Fuxing Investment."
Xie Jiayin immediately thought of who it was. One time when she went to the Summer Palace for dinner, she met someone who was related to Professor Song. She didn't pay much attention to him at the time, but she didn't expect him to be a big shot in capital.
"Is Jiang Pengfei's daughter and Zhu Suosuo good friends?"
"They have been classmates since childhood. Mom, I think smart homes have a great future."
She also agreed with her son's words.
Although she finally chose to enter real estate, it was not that she was not optimistic about smart homes, but the technical threshold was too high and the investment period was too long. What she wanted now was a cash cow.
"Well, it's a good industry."
Xie Hongzu revealed his plan:
"I want to open a company that specializes in this smart home. After the Chinese New Year, I went to Jiang Pengfei and asked him to introduce his friends and try to buy this system."
Xie Jiayin looked at her silly son and thought that doing business was too simple.
The things specially developed by others are already so mature. If you don’t make them yourself, you have to sell them to others?
What's more, even if you sell it, it's definitely not a small amount, and you know Wang Lidong, who is a capital player, so it's very convenient to attract investment.
However, she didn't say anything to hit her son. It was rare that he was interested in doing business, and she also let him know that making money was not easy.
"Then just go ahead and do it. If there is anything you need mom's help with, just ask."
Seeing that his mother was in a very good mood, Xie Hongzu made a request:
"Mom, that's what I thought. Suosuo and Jiang Nansun are good friends, very loyal. I just want to invite her to work in our company."
Xie Jiayin thought about it. Her son's purpose was very obvious, but he was right. The most important thing was to establish a relationship with Jiang Pengfei through Zhu Suosuo.
"Okay, as long as she is willing to come, I have no objection."
When Xie Hongzu heard that his mother actually agreed, he smiled so hard that half of his back teeth were exposed. He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed the goddess's number.
.............................
New Year's Eve, afternoon
Pearl Studios
"Lao Jiang, why don't we go to your house? Ruth and I have prepared a lot of annual goods in the past two days."
After Wang Lidong had lunch, he drove to the set. On the one hand, he got the materials for the first ten episodes of "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroine", and on the other hand, he invited Xiao Xueer and Zhao Lusi to his house to celebrate the New Year.
The reason why director He Li dared to promise 4 million to shoot the remaining 20 episodes was because he planned to shorten the shooting cycle.
The original plan was to shoot 20 episodes in two months, which happened to coincide with the Spring Festival, so the crew originally planned to take a 15-day holiday, but now he directly cut it off. They will take the holiday on the first day of the new year and continue filming at other times.
Then we rush to work again, and the cost is reduced by half. After the shooting is completed, there may be some funds left.
However, his move directly caused more than 20 employees to resign and run away.
He Li also took note of the situation. Although he didn't have many connections in the circle, he graduated from the Pearl Academy of Drama. He immediately called a few of his teachers at the university.
The next day, a dozen juniors and juniors came, all juniors and seniors, who were about to graduate and find jobs.
Even though Pearl Theater Academy is one of the top three film and television schools in the world, the proportion of those who can continue to work in this industry after graduation is not high.
A survey by Sihai Education News shows that 70% of graduates from the performance departments of major art colleges across the country have changed careers due to unsatisfactory employment; the employment rate of art undergraduate graduates six months after graduation is significantly lower than the national average.
Most of the people who came here were locals from Mingzhu. When they heard that they could join the crew as an intern, they all came over to help, not to mention there was money to be paid.
Filming will start on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so neither Xiao Xueer nor Zhao Lusi went back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year this year.
The house was deserted, so I simply pulled him back and helped him coax the old lady.
It can also help him warm his bed at night, killing two birds with one stone.
"My mother is just an ordinary old lady. She is easy to talk to. You have to meet her sooner or later. Get in the car quickly."
Seeing Wang Lidong's tough attitude, Xiao Xueer and Zhao Lusi sat in the back row obediently.
Because of the Chinese New Year, there were no cars on the road, so we arrived home in more than 20 minutes.
"Mom, look who's here."
Seeing the two older girls behind her son, the old lady instantly became happy.
He immediately stood up and greeted warmly:
"Welcome, welcome, welcome to my home."
Mother Jiang stepped forward, one in each hand, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
"Your name is Xue'er, your name is Ruth, am I right?"
Wang Lidong on the side rolled his eyes.
Pack.
I don’t know how many times I have seen the photos. I even asked someone to check the family situation of the two of them.
Zhao Lusi is from Sichuan. He is the second eldest child in his family and has an older sister. His parents are ordinary workers.
Xiao Xueer is from Gan Province. She is the eldest son of the family. She has a younger sister and a younger brother. Her parents are engaged in small business.
"Aunt, okay,"
"Aunt, okay"
Seeing the extremely enthusiastic Mother Jiang, both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, everyone, sit down."
Entering the living room, the old lady suddenly hurried up to the second floor.
When Xiao Xueer saw this, she felt a little uneasy and said:
"The old lady... doesn't like us?"
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said:
"My mom is old, just like an old kid. Don't think too much, she's most likely going to get a red envelope."
