In the manor, where Chu Huan was standing, in front of Chu Huan were fireworks lighting up the night sky.
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong ran out of the bedroom. They were breathing heavily, their faces were slightly red, but their eyes were already fascinated by the scenery in front of them.
Chu Huan was wearing a long windbreaker. When he heard the movement behind him, he slowly turned around, came to Chen Yulian, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday!"
After finishing speaking, he took out a gift box from his pocket and opened it to find a diamond necklace that was still shining under the night sky.
Chen Yulian excitedly took the gift box from Chu Huan's hand, "Thank you, thank you Brother Huan!"
After he finished speaking, he kissed Chu Huan on the cheek shyly.
Zhong Chuhong looked at Chen Yulian with envy. Girls are always pregnant, and any girl hopes to have such a scene on her birthday.
Romantic scenes are a bonus. Everyone should understand that even if two people have no feelings, in a romantic environment, they will stimulate each other's dopamine, thus sublimating their feelings!
However, Zhong Chuhong's envy did not last long. Like magic, he took out another packaging box from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Chuhong's eyes. With a faint smile on his face, he said.
"Ah Hong, I was still in Japan when it was your birthday. I couldn't attend your 18th birthday, which has always been a regret for me during this period. Now I can only wish you a happy birthday here!"
The gift box was opened and inside was a pair of diamond pendant earrings!
The joy of regaining something made Zhong Chuhong happy in her heart. She also followed Chen Yulian's example and kissed Chu Huan on the cheek.
"Thank you, Brother Huan!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Come here, I've prepared a midnight snack for you!"
The two nodded happily and followed Chu Huan to the outdoor swimming pool of the manor. There was already a barbecue that had just been prepared, and Liu Pingkui and Huang Baiming were working on it.
Liu Pingkui and Liu Pingkui immediately smiled when they saw Chu Huan bringing Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong over. Liu Pingkui even teased Chen Yulian.
"Alian, I've seen you feeling restless all day today. How about it? When filming tomorrow, you won't be in the same state as you were today, right?"
The rosiness on Chen Yulian's face had not disappeared. When she heard Liu Pingkui's teasing, her face turned redder and she spoke in a low voice.
"Director Liu, did you already know that Brother Huan would come over tonight?"
Liu Pingkui spread his hands and said: "Then you have wronged me. Brother Huan is so busy. I really didn't expect that Brother Huan would come over tonight. And during the day, I called Brother Huan. At that time
Brother Huan also said that he was going to meet Ford II, the president of Ford Motor Company, tonight, but he didn’t expect that Brother Huan would fly over tonight.”
When Chen Yulian heard what Liu Pingkui said, she looked at Chu Huan nervously and asked: "Brother Huan, will this delay your work?"
Chu Huan rubbed Chen Yulian's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. My appointment with Ford II is to meet tomorrow, not today!"
As the second largest shareholder of Ford Motor Co., North America, Chu Huan previously sold 8.1% of Ford Motor Co.'s shares to the Sumitomo family. It makes sense that Chu Huan would like to meet Ford II this time when he comes to North America.
In addition, the two parties will also have some detailed exchanges on Ford's sales stores in Southeast Asia.
But the appointment is not today, but tomorrow. What Liu Pingkui said is the same as the assist your brother will make when you pursue a girl in the future, although in Chu Huan's opinion, this is unnecessary.
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong are the women he has chosen. Although they may not be like Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi in the future, Chu Huan still hopes to pick the first flower.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat!" Chu Huan smiled and asked everyone to sit down.
Huang Baiming sat there and looked at Chu Huan with excitement. Such an occasion was obviously a private occasion, but Chu Huan called him here. Does this mean that the relationship between him and Chu Huan has also improved?
Woolen cloth?
It was obvious that Huang Baiming was overthinking this, and Liu Pingkui dragged him here simply because he didn't want to do this work alone.
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong were sitting on either side of Chu Huan. At this time, the excitement of the two of them had not dissipated. They didn't know what to say for a moment, but they just looked at Chu Huan beside them with some excitement.
.
"How have you been here these past few days? Have you encountered any trouble?"
Chu Huan took a grilled chicken wing from Chen Yulian's hand, and then asked Liu Pingkui.
Liu Pingkui shook his head and said: "No, everything is going well. I estimate that I will be able to leave here and return to Xiangjiang for filming in ten days!"
In addition to being filmed in Honolulu, "Happy Ghost" also has some filming in Hong Kong.
Chu Huan nodded slightly, while Huang Baiming said somewhat expressively: "Director Chu, I have almost written the script for "The Best Partner". Do you want me to tell you about the content of this movie now?"
Before Chu Huan could speak, Liu Pingkui gave Huang Baiming a blow and said: "What are you talking about at work at this time? I just saw you eating. Are you full? Are you full?
, follow me to release the water!"
Huang Baiming is also a very smart person. When he saw Chu Huan coming over overnight to celebrate Chen Yulian's birthday, he naturally understood what Chu Huan was thinking. He just wanted to strengthen himself in front of Chu Huan.
I had a sense of existence, so I forgot about today.
He quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, when Director Liu said this, I also want to go to the toilet."
After saying that, Huang Baiming stood up and followed Liu Pingkui out of here.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Chu Huan naturally knew that they would not come back tonight, so he smiled and said to Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You two are already eighteen years old and can drink. How about it? Let's not get drunk tonight."
Girls are always thin-skinned. Drinking can not only make you happy but also help your courage!
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong nodded slightly.
That night, the girl turned into a woman, everything happened so naturally.
The next day!
Chen Yulian rubbed her head and opened her eyes. She had forgotten when she drank too much last night, but in a daze, she also knew what happened next. Everything was so natural. Chen Yulian
Yu Lian does not regret what happened last night, but feels even more happy.
But this joy disappeared in an instant when she saw Zhong Chuhong next to her.
Some things are like this. In fact, when you do it, you already know that you will definitely regret it afterwards, but you just want to do that thing, no matter what the atmosphere at the time is, or your own heart
Already prepared.
But you can be sure that you don’t want to face the consequences after doing this.
Chen Yulian is like this now. When she saw Zhong Chuhong lying next to her with her shoulders half exposed and covered by a blanket, Chen Yulian's face turned red instantly.
Um.......
After being warned, Zhong Chuhong turned over. Chen Yulian was so frightened that she hurriedly lay down again and covered herself with the quilt. For a moment, she forgot that she hadn't seen Chu Huan until she woke up!
.
In the hotel, Hu Feng got up, originally planning to take the crew's bus to the studio to continue today's filming.
As a result, I received a call from the set management, informing them that the crew would be closed today and that the crew would be free to move around in front of and behind the scenes. Filming would continue tomorrow!
"What's going on?" Hu Feng scratched his head and muttered to himself somewhat incomprehensibly.
.
Chu Huan did not stay too long in Honolulu. In fact, when she woke up in the morning, Chu Huan had already taken a charter flight back to Los Angeles in advance.
It also officially opened the meeting with Ford Motor Company Ford II.
"Director Chu, there is something I want to discuss with you!"
Ford II sat in Chu Huan's living room in Beverly Hills Manor, Los Angeles, smiling and preaching to Chu Huan.
"If Mr. Ford has anything to say, just bring it up!" Chu Huan said politely.
At this time, Chu Huan and Ford II still had a very happy cooperative relationship. Although Chu Huan had previously sold 8.1% of his shares in Ford Motor Company to the Sumitomo family, Ford II actually welcomed such an equity transaction.
.
Ford has always been very keen to enter the Asian automobile market, and now Japan's automobile market is obviously the largest automobile market in Asia.
If we can cooperate with the Sumitomo family, it will actually be a good thing for Ford II.
So the two sides didn't say much on this matter, but Ford II also mentioned that he would like to go to Japan for inspection in the future, and hoped to have a tripartite meeting with Chu Huan and Sumitomo Yoshio.
Chu Huandao had no objection to Ford II's request.
After talking about this incident, Ford II told Chu Huan about the second incident after meeting with Chu Huan.
"We at Ford really hope to cooperate with Fantasy Comics, to be precise, with the Transformers project!"
Chu Huan instantly understood what Ford II was thinking. Although the concept of advertising placement was not so obvious during this period, in fact, the importance that businessmen placed on publicity during this period must not be underestimated.
Now that "Transformers" is the most popular Autobot comic and animation in the world, Ford Motor has naturally seen this. After research by Ford Motor's management, they all believe that this is a very good publicity tool.
"If the Transformers project can highlight the characteristics of Ford Motors in the animation, Ford Motors is willing to pay Fantasy Comics' considerable advertising costs."
After finishing speaking, Ford II looked at Chu Huan with bright eyes.
In fact, when Chu Huan bought shares in Ford Motor Company, based on the conditions mentioned by Chu Huan, Ford Motor Company already thought that Chu Huan must have ideas for the automobile industry in the future.
Now that he mentioned this matter to Chu Huan in advance, his purpose was also to avoid the pitfalls of the "Transformers" project in advance.
If Chu Huan really gets involved in the automobile industry in the future, Ford II believes that Chu Huan will definitely make a fuss about the "Transformers" project.
He also wanted to see when Chu Huan was going to start getting involved in the automotive field. After all, if Chu Huan refused now, it would mean that Chu Huan should have had such an idea in the past year or two.
Chu Huan has indeed always wanted to enter the automotive field, and is indeed planning to leave the "Transformers" project to his own car brand.
But now Chu Huan has not been able to find a suitable city to support Chu Huan in doing this.
The size of Xiangjiang definitely does not meet this requirement, and the size of my hometown is certainly sufficient, but in the past five years, this condition has definitely not been met.
If you do this in other countries, there will be many restrictions, and you will definitely encounter many problems.
In addition, the people sent by Chu Huan to study at Ford Motor are just getting familiar with this industry, and their growth will also require a period of training.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have no objection. Just let the Ford people contact Yasuo Kamikura about this matter. We can also launch some specific models of cars by then. I believe that relying on "Transformers" will
The global popularity should also be of great help to Ford!"
When talking about this, Chu Huan thought of the cooperation between Chevrolet and "Transformers" in another time and space. At that time, Chevrolet launched a car of the same model as the Bumblebee. Although when Chu Huan was reborn, this car had become lonely.
, but when it was first launched, it was indeed popular.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Chu Huan agreed with his idea, Ford II showed a smile on his face and said: "No problem, this matter will be dealt with after I go back.
I will urge them to complete it!”
Regarding Chu Huan's desire to enter the automotive field, Ford II actually welcomed but resisted it!
The welcome is because according to the current relationship between the two parties, even if Chu Huan has deployed various technical personnel at Ford Motor, as long as Chu Huan really wants to enter this industry, he will definitely seek business cooperation. According to the current relationship between the two parties,
Due to the relationship, Ford Motor is very likely to become Chu Huan's partner.
According to Chu Huan's financial resources and current global influence, although it is not certain that Chu Huan will be successful in the automotive field, at least Chu Huan has the factors for success.
This is a very important thing.
But what I resist is that if Chu Huan establishes his own car brand, then Ford Motor and Chu Huan's car brands will become direct competitors in the future.
It’s still the same reason. Chu Huan has the factors to succeed in this industry. So will Chu Huan’s future car brand have an impact on Ford Motor?
It seems that it is too early to consider this kind of thing now, but when Ford II comes here, these things must be considered.
The most important thing is that for the Ford family, they have no way to stop Chu Huan from doing this
"Director Chu, I know that you have always been very interested in the automotive field. If Director Chu really wants to enter this industry in the future, I believe that our Ford Motor Company will be your best helper!"
Chu Huan understood what Ford II was thinking and said with a smile: "This is natural. If I can get help from Ford in the future, I believe it will be a good thing for me to get twice the result with half the effort!"
A simple conversation between the two laid a good foundation for their future cooperation.
However, Chu Huan is not officially ready to enter this industry yet, so the two parties have no way to discuss the details.
Finally, the two parties discussed matters regarding Ford Motor's Asia Division.
After the negotiation, Ford II left Chu Huan's estate in Beverly Hills.
And David Maxwell found Chu Huan at this time.
"Chairman, we have reached a consensus with Jack Cooka regarding the acquisition of the Lakers. The other party is willing to sell all his shares in the Lakers!"
At this time, racial discrimination in North America is still very serious. Even if Chu Huan has a strong industry in North America, if he wants to buy the Lakers in his own name at this time, he will definitely encounter opposition from the NBA.
Not to mention Chu Huan, even Magic Johnson, who left a mark in the history of the Lakers, also suffered a lot of discrimination when he first entered the NBA.
Later generations will know that the NBA in the 1980s was an era of black and white evils. It was the confrontation between black and white evils that finally made the NBA one of the four major leagues in North America.
But in fact, when Magic Johnson first entered the NBA, he received far less attention than Bird, and the same was true for his reputation in the media.
At that time, Magic Johnson was a complete villain.
So after coming to Los Angeles, after careful consideration, Chu Huan decided to let Alder Commercial Bank take over the acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers.
As for the well-known Los Angeles Lakers owner Buss, he has not yet purchased the Lakers at this time!
The owner of the Lakers is Jack Cook, who bought the Lakers from the previous owner of the Lakers for $5 million in 1965.
"How much did the other party bid?"
"70 million US dollars!" After David Maxwell finished speaking, he couldn't help but said: "Chairman, this Cook is obviously talking like a lion!"
Does the lion open its mouth?
If there are no accidents, Jack Cook will sell the Lakers to Buss for US$67 million next year. For the US$70 million proposed at this time, the Lions are indeed very open.
"And if the company's acquisitions of several other clubs are included, this amount will exceed US$300 million."
David Maxwell does not think that investing in sports is a good investment, even though the North American league already has HBO and Nike, two companies directly linked to sports projects.
"The price of US$70 million is indeed too high. Tell Jack Cook that the company is only willing to pay US$66 million for the acquisition. If he is willing to sell, we can pay him immediately and pay the full amount in one lump sum.
!”
Chu Huan didn't care about David Maxwell's attitude. The acquisition of the Lakers was not only for the future development of HBO and Nike, but also for one of Chu Huan's hobbies.
For Chu Huan at this time, there is no problem at all in buying a hobby of his own for US$66 million.
David Maxwell, as the head of the North American A-Bank, naturally knew part of Chu Huan's financial resources. Before, his expression was only based on a manager's opinion on the investment project, but now that his boss wants to buy it, he naturally
There is nothing more to say.
"Understood, this matter is guaranteed to be completed when Chairman you leave Los Angeles!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Of course I believe in your ability. In addition, after the company completes the acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers, the next thing to do is to build a modern arena for the team. This arena must not only meet the needs of
The needs of the basketball team must also be met at the same time as the ice hockey team. In addition, after completing the acquisition of the Los Angeles football team and golf team, we must also invest in the construction of a modern outdoor sports stadium!"
These are two more investments with long investment times and slow returns.
But for Chu Huan, he pays more attention to long-term profits at this time. The current investment in the construction of these two sports halls seems to be very huge, even more than the funds to acquire the four sports clubs in Los Angeles, but from now on
In terms of long-term benefits, they will have a stable income every year, and they can also host various indoor and outdoor concerts and other services.
It's definitely a very profitable business.
By the way, even in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the two most powerful teams in the NBA, did not have a basketball stadium of their own.
"If this is the case, Alde Commercial Bank will be locked up in funds by these two projects for a long time in the future, making it difficult for other developments!"
David Maxwell did not expect Chu Huan's investment to be so large. With two sports halls and four sports clubs, the total investment will exceed US$700 million. This is bound to be a huge sum for Alder Commercial Bank.
expenditure.
"If that's the case, I need to mobilize the funds of the entire North American A library to do this."
Chu Huan had no objection to this and said: "Okay."
US$700 million is definitely a huge investment for Alder Commercial Bank, but for the entire Jiaku, this investment does not seem so huge.
Seeing that Chu Huan had no objection, David Maxwell stopped talking about the matter.
Instead, he reported another matter to Chu Huan.
"Alder Commercial Bank's entry into Hong Kong has been discussed with the Hong Kong government. The company is preparing to officially enter the financial market in Hong Kong next month. In addition, contact with the Ministry of Finance of Japan is also in progress. The company is now looking for
It’s the office location.”
Chu Huan had prepared for Alder Commercial Bank to enter the Hong Kong and Japanese markets a few years ago. It is reasonable that it is going so well now. If it does not go well, there will be accidents!
As for the reason why David Maxwell didn't mention finding an office location in Hong Kong just now, Chu Huan has decided to rent the building to Alde Commercial Bank as an investment after the construction of Zhulu Real Estate's Global Building on Central Station is completed.
Alder Commercial Bank's headquarters in Hong Kong.
"It's better to buy a commercial building to be your own headquarters in Japan. Although Alde Commercial Bank has not officially entered Japan yet, it is already quite famous in Japan. It is still a bit embarrassing not to have a building of its own.
Face."
David Maxwell nodded: "I understand!"
After talking about these things, David Maxwell also left Chu Huan's manor.
"Boss, the global conference in Jiaku is about to end, and I have to return to Xiangjiang!"
Wu Shuhan came to Chu Huan's side and preached to Chu Huan.
Because during the previous meeting with Xiangjiang Jiaku, Chu Huan decided to let Wu Shuhan return to Xiangjiang to cooperate with Zhong Zhichen, so Wu Shuhan will also return this time!
"Be careful when you return to your hometown. If anything happens, call Mo Youheng. He has already returned to his hometown!"
Chu Huan warned Wu Shuhan.
Wu Shuhan nodded sweetly and said: "Okay, I will pay attention!"
Later, Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan: "By the way, boss, Sister Yun Shang called me yesterday. They will be arriving in Los Angeles soon. Do you want to wait for them to arrive before going to Europe?"
The fashion show of Cao Yunshang's Empire Fashion Group in Tokyo has ended, and the next stop is Los Angeles in North America. Not only is there a show in Los Angeles, but there is also a show in New York!
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "If you wait for her to come over, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just mind your own business!"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said: "Okay."
At the end of March, the Global Jiaku meeting finally ended. Wu Shuhan returned to Xiangjiang with Xu Yi and others, while Chu Huan was waiting for Cao Yunshang and his party at the airport.
"Just leave the specific work to the people below. There is no need to make yourself so tired!"
After Chu Huan saw the dusty Cao Yunshang, he spoke with concern.
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "It's not bad. In fact, it's not that tiring. I just cheered up with them!"
During a fashion show, the boss should keep a low profile and focus more on the products and designers.
The fashion show of Empire Fashion Group focused on brand clothing this time. At the same time, through this fashion show, Galerie Lafayette began to be regarded as the person who knows the most about fashion in the fashion circle.
On the contrary, Cao Yunshang, the chairman of Imperial Fashion Group, has not received much attention.
But this does not mean that Cao Yunshang is relaxed. In fact, at this time, Cao Yunshang is more like the housekeeper of this global fashion show. Everything can only be carried out with her consent.
"Let's go home first. As for the people in your group, I have already booked a hotel!"
Cao Yunshang nodded and separated from everyone at the airport. All the staff got on the bus and headed to the hotel, while Chu Huan took Cao Yunshang and the current chief designer of the Empire Fashion Group, Lafayette, to the Beverly Hills estate.
"How long can you stay with us this time?"
After arriving at the residence, Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said: "We won't be here for a few days. Azu has made an appointment with Khomeini. I want to go to France to meet him first!"
Cao Yunshang said with some worry: "This person is not so easy to persuade!"
Chu Huan smiled: "It's just a try. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. He's not the only one who can take advantage of it!"
