Luo Xu hugged Chu Shixiao, who was about to struggle, and shouted with a flattering look on his face.
Next to them, Chen Bin and Sun Xiaohai also looked surprised. Only Han Ying looked a little worried at this time.
The reason for the matter was that when they saw Chu Huan off just now, they saw three luxury cars in Ya'er Hutong. Among them, Luo Xu thought he had the most knowledge about cars, but he still couldn't name these three cars.
This is a brand of luxury car, and I have never even seen a similar car online.
But one thing is certain, and that is that these three luxury cars are definitely worth a lot of money.
Not to mention, the license plates on these three cars. It is no exaggeration to say that one license plate can be used to buy a house with three bedrooms and one living room in Beijing. There will definitely be no problem!
And those people wearing casual clothes and sunglasses who are not easy to mess with at first glance should be bodyguards!
Seeing such a posture, Luo Xu and others finally understood that the Chu Shixiao next to them was a super rich second generation!
Chen Bin couldn't help but asked curiously: "Old Xiao, what does your old man do? I have also seen some people on the Forbes list, but I have never seen a picture of your old man!"
Sun Xiaohai explained for Chu Shixiao: "Mother Chen, Lao Xiao's father is from Xiangjiang!"
Chen Bin said: "I'm talking about the Hong Kong version of Forbes. There are introductions to the four major families in Hong Kong, but there is no photo or name of Lao Xiao's father?"
The four major families in Xiangjiang are still the same four families. Although they have not done a lot of business because of the existence of Jiaku, they have also really developed with the spring breeze of Jiaku.
"Wait!" Chen Bin suddenly thought of something, and then ran towards the main hall of the courtyard, but this place had been transformed into a practice room by them.
Eight computers form a circle.
Chen Bin sat on the nearest computer, entered Sohu.com, and then found a video with the highest number of clicks on the video website during this period.
This is a long video about the Hong Kong Torch Relay, but there are no barrages at this time, and some are low-level comments.
The other people also looked at Chen Bin's operation with great curiosity. Only Chu Shixiao was a little helpless and Han Ying was a little worried.
Chen Bin fast forwarded to a certain time period, and then Chu Shixiao saw the period in which his eldest brother Chu Shifeng passed on his life.
"Old Xiao, there is only one word difference between this Chu Shifeng and your name. Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with him?"
"Chu Shifeng?" Luo Xu asked again with a curious expression: "Who is this? Why haven't you heard of it?"
After finishing speaking, Luo Xu continued to ask: "By the way, Mother Chen, how do you know the Hong Kong version of Forbes rankings?"
Seeing that Chu Shixiao didn't answer immediately, Chen Bin could only answer Luo Xu impatiently: "I read it online."
Although you can't climb the wall, Xiangjiang is still a bit mysterious to my hometown, so I am also a little curious about the rich people in Xiangjiang. Even some young people always put "The Legend of Li Jiacheng" beside their bed as a secret book for getting rich.
.
"Look at the comments below. There are many people commenting on this Chu Shifeng. They are all curious about what he does. Even some people working in Xiangjiang in China also expressed that they are curious!"
Sun Xiaohai looked through the comments below and began to feel curious.
Looking at the looks of several people, Chu Shixiao could only say helplessly: "That's my eldest brother, but he's just a half-brother."
"Same father and mother?" Such an answer made these people even more suspicious.
Thinking of what they had heard about the three wives and four concubines of the older generation in Xiangjiang, they felt that they seemed to know something about Chu Shixiao.
"You really don't have to think about it, our family does have some money, but forget it, you can think whatever you want, right?"
At this time, Chu Shixiao also knew that this matter could not be explained clearly, so fortunately he did not explain it!
Although Chen Bin and others were curious, they no longer asked about the specific matter. Luo Xu said in a coquettish manner: "Dad Chu, your dad rides in such a nice car, you must also have a luxury car, right? We are good brothers.
, when are you going to drive one out so that my brother can enjoy it?"
Chen Bin muttered: "I used to worry about you, Lao Xiao, because you didn't have enough funds. You didn't even dare to add eggs when buying egg-filled pancakes. From now on, you must add eggs to your breakfast."
Sun Xiaohai said flatteringly: "Old Xiao, I heard that the girls in Xiangjiang are very open-minded, especially the girls in Lan Kwai Fong. What do you say when we go to Xiangjiang to compete this time?
I have to take my brothers to see them all!"
"You're going to die!" Han Ying, who always had a worried expression, heard Sun Xiaohai say this and couldn't help but hit him.
Then, pretending to be evil, he said to Chu Shixiao: "You are not allowed to take them there?"
.
Chu Huan returned to Chu's house. Before anyone entered, he heard the lively sounds coming from inside.
Hearing this voice, Chu Huan also had a smile on his face.
"Brother Huan, you are back!"
Today, Liu Pingkui, the most successful director in China, stood up with a smile.
"I heard from Xiao Zhao that you came to the capital, and I came over right away. I didn't expect you to go out after all!"
Chu Huan looked at Liu Pingkui's belly and said, "How old are you? If you don't lose weight, all kinds of diseases will come to you sooner or later!"
Liu Pingkui touched his belly and said with a careless smile: "I can't let my current quality of life decline because of possible diseases in the future, right?"
Chu Huan sat down, and Zhong Chuhong, who had just chatted with Liu Pingkui, brought Chu Huan a cup of hot tea.
"Aren't you filming a movie in Hengdian? Why are you here in Beijing?"
Liu Pingkui said: "It has been completed. Now I am doing post-production work here in the capital. I originally wanted to go back to Xiangjiang, but when I heard Xiao Zhao say that you came to the capital to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, I came to find you!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Pingkui was one of the first directors from Hong Kong to come to China to make movies. At that time, Liu Pingkui approached Chu Huan and asked Chu Huan what type of movies he should shoot in his hometown.
Movie.
Mainly because the third master from my hometown found Liu Pingkui at that time and hoped that Liu Pingkui could make a movie with the theme of the Three Kingdoms. The investment was quite large for them.
At that time, Liu Pingkui found Chu Huan and asked Chu Huan for his opinion. Chu Huan’s opinion was
Film directors in Xiangjiang should avoid historical or realistic themes in their hometown. They would either shoot some over-the-top movies, or shoot IP movies with black and white images, or shoot some science fiction movies.
At present, domestic movies do not have the soil for main theme movies.
After entering the 1990s, Black and White and Hollywood's Apex Pictures jointly acquired Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, and at the same time began to enter the field of special effects for Hong Kong films, resulting in North America and Hong Kong being the two most advanced film special effects locations in the world.
.
Chu Huan looked at Liu Pingkui teasingly and asked: "Making movies is tiring and you can't make much money. It's been almost thirty years, aren't you tired?"
Liu Pingkui is now an invisible rich man in the entertainment industry. The money he has earned in the film industry over the years has basically been used by him to eat, drink and have fun. Some of the dividends given to him by Chu Huan and others were used to buy Xiangjiang.
, real estate in Beijing and Shenghai. As for the specific number of real estate Liu Pingkui owns, I am afraid that even he himself does not know.
"Just waiting for the Olympics to end, I am planning to go to the Caribbean for vacation. By then the tide, dawn, and Xiao Zhao will have passed. How about you go too?"
"Okay, I'm going to take a break for half a year anyway!" Liu Pingkui chuckled, "But I still have no idea of retiring. I'm in good health now. Besides, I have nothing to do now that I'm retired. I can't wear flip-flops every day.
Are you going to collect rent all over the world with a bunch of keys?"
Naturally, Liu Pingkui is not needed for rent collection. In fact, Liu Pingkui has his own real estate company, which is specially used to collect rent. He just said that because he didn't really want to leave the circle of fame and fortune.
He is a hall-level director of Hong Kong commercial films, the highest-grossing Chinese director in the world, and the most box-office-charging director in Asia.
These names have given Liu Pingkui a transcendent status in the entertainment industry. No one can easily be like Chu Huan and give up the rights in his hands without any worries.
"As you wish!" Chu Huan waved his hand and said nothing.
Liu Pingkui said: "By the way, Brother Huan, when I came here before, Cheng Long called me. You also know that he is currently recording the song "Beijing Welcomes You" in Beijing. I heard that you are in Beijing, so I always came to see you.
You just don’t know if you have time to see him?”
After hearing this, Chu Huan smiled and said: "Come over if you want. It just so happens that Brother Xiao Long will come to the capital in a while, and then they, the two most powerful action movie stars in the history of Hong Kong movies, will also be able to meet!"
The one that Chu Huan can call Brother Xiaolong is naturally Li Xiaolong!
At Chu Huan's suggestion, Li Xiaolong modified his exercise methods, and his body received all-round care, so he is still alive today.
At that time, Li Xiaolong went to Hollywood and filmed many popular movies. However, as he grew older and entered the 1990s, Li Xiaolong officially announced his retirement, and then promoted his Jeet Kune Do all over the world.
Now he is almost the sweeping monk of Hong Kong movies, and his reputation is frightening.
"Brother Long is coming?" Liu Pingkui was very happy to hear that Li Xiaolong was also coming to the capital. Strictly speaking, Li Xiaolong can be regarded as Liu Pingkui's leader in the film industry.
"Well, the Olympic Games in Beijing hope to create a sensational effect, so they invited Brother Xiaolong here!"
Li Xiaolong's reputation is not only loud in the Chinese circle, but in fact his reputation among foreigners is even louder than that in the Chinese circle.
"It's interesting to say that when I visited the forum some time ago, I saw that someone had initiated a poll online and asked whether Li Xiaolong or Cheng Long was more influential. Which one of the two groups above was arguing?
lively!"
Zhong Chuhong, who was next to him, also smiled and said: "I also saw this vote, but I remembered that there was Jet Li in it, right?"
Chu Huan and Liu Pingkui looked at each other and smiled. It is undeniable that Li Lianjie's status in the Hong Kong film industry, but in terms of influence in the film industry, there is still a gap between Li Lianjie and the two just now!
"Jie Zai's mind is no longer on movies, now he is more interested in participating in some casual performances!"
Liu Pingkui thought for a while and preached.
Zhong Chuhong nodded. She and Li Lianjie had never worked together in the Hong Kong film industry, and they rarely even met, so they didn't know each other very well.
.
Magic City, Shenghai!
"Age, how are you? Are you still used to life in Shenghai?"
In a Western restaurant near Xujiahui, two women were chatting. The older one looked to be in her forties. She was dressed in an exquisite dress and had neat short hair, which made her look more capable.
The younger one, in his twenties, has a neat high ponytail, and the clothes on his body are more ordinary.
"Fortunately, before, Daddy said that Shenghai's development would proceed at a speed that we could not imagine. I was a little skeptical before, but this time when I came to Shenghai, I discovered that Daddy's vision is still so sharp. I didn't expect that Shenghai would develop at a speed that we could not imagine.
The sea is developing so fast!"
The two people chatting were none other than Chu Huan's sister-in-law's sister, Zhong Xiaoqing, and his and Cao Yunshang's eldest daughter, Chu Shige.
Chu Shige graduated from the University of Pennsylvania two years ago, then joined the European branch of Empire Fashion Group. He was transferred back to the Xiangjiang headquarters last year and came to Shenghai this year.
"You are the only ones who can doubt your dad's vision. Do you know how many people out there want to be guided by your dad?" Zhong Xiaoqing said with a smile.
At this time, Zhong Xiaoqing was already the president of the Asian region of Empire Fashion Group. Since the domestic demand for luxury goods is getting stronger and stronger, she is temporarily based in Shenghai.
Zhong Xiaoqing still attaches great importance to the arrival of Chu Shige. Chu Shifeng has now taken over Jiaku, but the administrative connection between Jiaku and Imperial Fashion Group has not become closer because of this.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhong Xiaoqing once asked Cao Yunshang about this matter. Although Cao Yunshang did not say it explicitly at the time, Zhong Xiaoqing could tell that Cao Yunshang had not thought about merging the Imperial Fashion Group into the Jiaku sequence.
Then, Chu Shifeng should not take over the Imperial Fashion Group. If it were not Chu Shifeng, then it would only be Chu Shige and Chu Shilang.
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Chu Shifeng, is now in charge of Jiaku. The second son, Chu Shilang, was born in 1986. He is still studying in North America and is also the Sonic Sports Operations Manager of Jiaku in North America.
position.
Sonic Sports currently owns the ace clubs of the four major professional leagues in North America, including the Lakers of the NBA, as well as the Manchester United football team in Europe, and the basketball clubs of the European League. They have already penetrated into various hot events around the world.
A true giant in the sports world!
No matter what the future holds, from now on, Chu Shige is the most promising candidate to take over Imperial Fashion Group.
This can be seen from Chu Shige’s resume of working for the Imperial Fashion Group in Europe, North America, and Asia in three years!
"You have seen the company's situation now. It can basically be divided into two factions. One is the Western style, and the other is the Chinese style. The Western style believes that the development of the brand has summarized successful experience through overseas development, and there is absolutely no
It is necessary to change their own development experience, and Huapai is actually a local faction. They believe that whether it is Europe, America or Hong Kong, they actually have different cultural attributes from China. If they just follow the script and the experience of the head office.
There certainly seems to be no problem at this stage, but as more and more luxury brands enter the domestic market in the future, the competition will definitely be very fierce, so the localization of the group is very important.
Now the two factions are quarreling like crazy within the group."
When she said this, Zhong Xiaoqing couldn't help but start scratching her head. In fact, she came to Shenghai this time to solve this matter.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this matter?" Chu Shige asked: "You also know that I just came to Shenghai and don't know much about the situation here!"
Zhong Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Xiao Nizi is still playing tricks on me. Your Chu Shige's vigorous and resolute style has spread throughout the headquarters. Before coming to Shenghai, have you investigated the situation in Shenghai?"
Chu Shige said coquettishly: "Seeing is worse than hearing. What I saw on the paper is definitely not as detailed as what you said. Besides, you are responsible for this matter. I am just calling you." Just start!"
Although Chu Shige is Cao Yunchang's daughter, Cao Yunchang did not let Chu Shige be responsible for any specific projects as soon as he entered the company. When working in Europe and the United States, Chu Shige appeared as a deputy and more familiar.
The operation of the company.
"You!" Zhong Xiaoqing nodded Chu Shige's forehead and then said: "Although things seem simpler, in fact, there are various small factions within each of these two factions.
As for the demands of both of them, they are actually understandable.
The group has invested so much in China and even built many Class A shopping malls. Although the foreigners are a bit conservative and arrogant, their views are not unreasonable. Since we have had successful experience overseas, we now have to abandon it.
Looking for a new development experience based on past successful experiences is a big risk simply in terms of cost.
There is actually no problem with the idea of localism. Your dad has said many times before that any company that enters any new market needs to first understand the cultural attributes of the market. Only by integrating the company's culture with the local market
Only by perfectly matching the cultural attributes of the company can it truly become bigger and stronger.”
After hearing this, Chu Shige nodded and said, "Actually, there is one more thing you didn't tell me, sister-in-law, right?"
"What?" Zhong Xiaoqing asked suspiciously.
Chu Shige said: "That is rights and interests. No matter which development strategy the group chooses in the end, it will actually have a negative impact on the rights of the other party within the company, so they will compete so fiercely on this matter.
!”
Zhong Xiaoqing nodded and said: "This is natural. When a company reaches this scale, it would be strange if there was no internal competition!"
Chu Shige fell into deep thought. The importance of this matter can be said to be the highest. Although the person in charge is Zhong Xiaoqing, Chu Shige is also thinking about how to do this if he is sitting in Zhong Xiaoqing's position.
something.
"Age, do you want to ask your dad what he thinks? He is in the capital right now."
Zhong Xiaoqing didn't fully think about how to deal with this matter now, so she thought of Chu Huan.
Chu Shige smiled bitterly: "It's better to go to eldest brother to find my daddy. Sister, it's not like you don't know my daddy's current situation. He has really let go. When eldest brother faced off against the four major grain merchants before, then
My dad didn’t even say a word about the difficulties!”
When Zhong Xiaoqing thought of Chu Huan's current posture, she sighed helplessly and said, "Then we can only find a solution!"
Chu Shige thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. During the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, my eldest brother will attend the opening ceremony as a special guest. Then I will go to the capital to ask him what he thinks!"
Zhong Xiaoqing immediately smiled and said: "If that's the case, that would be great!"
Speaking of this, Zhong Xiaoqing couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know how your father and mother educated you so that you, a proud little princess, would take the initiative to seek help from your elder brother!"
As the older generation of businessmen in Xiangjiang gradually passed away, Zhong Xiaoqing had watched the drama of the wealthy families in Xiangjiang compete for property over the years, but to the second generation of the Chu family, there was no need to worry about such a thing happening.
Even though there are a few unsatisfactory members of the second generation, on the whole, no one has any inappropriate thoughts about Chu Shifeng taking over Jiaku. More importantly, these younger brothers and sisters actually admire Chu from the bottom of their hearts.
World style!
Chu Shige showed a smile, and these younger brothers and sisters were not vague about their admiration for Chu Shifeng!
When the time came in the afternoon, Zhong Xiaoqing and Chu Shige left the restaurant and came to the Empire State Building in Xujiahui, which is the headquarters of Empire Fashion Group Shenghai.
When the two of them were in the car, Zhong Xiaoqing smiled and asked Chu Shige: "Don't you have to hide your identity?"
Chu Shige smiled nonchalantly and said: "There is nothing to hide. My dad once said that the situation on TV where you hide your identity and then work in your own company to experience life and observe personnel was captured in the movie.
Yes, basically this is a very stupid approach.
Besides, I estimate that even if I didn’t say anything, the company’s senior management would have already investigated part of my identity, and they were quite deliberate in keeping it secret!”
Zhong Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Then let them guess!"
He landed in the company by air and became a quasi-high-level executive at the age of 26. With such a background, it would be strange if these people in the Huaguo District did not use their connections to investigate Chu Shige's background!
However, these people at most knew that Chu Shige had some background, but they certainly did not expect that she was the daughter of the boss of the Imperial Fashion Group.
After all, according to everyone's estimation, such a person should be a quasi-high-level executive of the company in Europe and the United States, where sales are better.
The two walked into the building, and the employees passing by stopped and greeted them respectfully.
Arriving at Zhong Xiaoqing's office on the top floor, after the two of them sat down, Zhong Xiaoqing's secretary came over, looking a little anxious.
"What happened to Helen?" Zhong Xiaoqing asked her.
Helen said: "Mr. Zhong, it's still about endorsements. You also know that the company used to have several artists from Xiangjiang as our spokespersons in China, but now because of the photo scandal, these people must not be available. The previous public relations
The ministry sent us a list of several Hong Kong and domestic artists. The company had previously decided to launch several new products during the Olympics, but the spokesperson matter has not yet been decided."
Zhong Xiaoqing nodded after listening. As the world's top luxury goods group, it owns more than ten of the world's top luxury brands. According to the group's previous plan, it is preparing to launch several joint products during the Olympic Games. The promotion of artists must be
The most important thing is that he is now the spokesperson for Xiangjiang.
"I already know about this matter, please ask someone from the public relations department to come and take a look!"
Zhong Xiaoqing said.
Helen nodded and put the document in her hand on Zhong Xiaoqing's desk: "Mr. Zhong, here are several lists sent by the Public Relations Department!"
After Helen left, Zhong Xiaoqing looked at Chu Shige who was sitting opposite her and said with a smile: "A Ge, the product spokesperson has always been a battleground between the local and foreign strategists. This matter is left to
How about you handle it?"
Chu Shige was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Zhong, I just came with eyes and ears. If you ask me to take charge of specific things, are you not afraid of what my mommy will say?"
When he was in the company, Chu Shige would not call Zhong Xiaoqing sister-in-law.
Zhong Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. I have discussed your matter with your mommy. Your mommy also thinks that you have learned enough in Europe and the United States, and you should find something to do."
You have already started, so this matter depends on your ability.
But your mommy has said that you cannot use the power of your family on this matter."
Chu Shige nodded: "If we use the power of the family, this matter will not be difficult. I know what my mommy means!"
By now, it is estimated that few people know how many industries and companies Chu Huan has invested in globally, including domestically.
"Now that you know this, I won't say anything more. The promotion and publicity of the new products will be left to you!" Zhong Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Chu Shige said: "Okay!"
Night!
Chu Shige drove alone back to his residence, Huifeng Dingyuan, which is a 204-square-meter flat. It was also the residence Chu Shige chose after coming to Shenghai.
The Chu family naturally has a better place to live in Shenghai, but all the famous communities, villas, and old houses in Shenghai now actually have the Chu family's properties, but Chu Shige thinks it is far away from where he works.
The place was relatively close and she lived alone, so she chose here.
When he came to the study, Chu Shige spread out the publicity plan sent by the public relations department. Looking at the contents, he felt a little complicated.
It’s not that this matter is difficult, there are no choices, but there are too many choices. The brand that Empire Fashion Group will launch new products this time is Italian Gucci, the world’s top luxury brand. Such a brand spokesperson is enough to attract celebrities in the global entertainment industry.
Squeeze your brain.
Just when Chu Shige was having a headache about this matter, the phone next to the table rang.
When Chu Shige saw the caller ID above, a smile appeared on his face, Chu Shilan!
