Xiangjiang, Qingyun School, fencing training hall!
24-year-old Chu Shinan had just completed a set of training and took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face. Her boyfriend Bao Zhaoxi next to her gave her mineral water.
Chu Shinan took the mineral water and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you!"
At this time, Chu Shinan's coach came over, smiled at Chu Shinan and said: "A Nan, your condition is already very good. As long as you keep it up, you will definitely be able to win a medal on behalf of Xiangjiang in this year's Olympics."
!”
Chu Shinan thanked: "Thank you, coach. The Xiangjiang delegation will leave for the capital soon. I will trouble you more then!"
"That's right. Your father gave me so much money just to let me do your logistics work!" the coach joked.
Then he pointed out some of Chu Shinan's movements just now, and then he was ready to start the next round of training with Chu Shinan.
However, at this time, Chu Shinan was obviously not as focused as before, but looked at the door from time to time, obviously expecting someone to arrive.
Seeing Chu Shinan like this, Bao Zhaoxi comforted him: "A Nan, brother is so busy over there. Maybe he was delayed by something. Why don't you train first?"
Chu Shinan nodded with some disappointment, and when he was about to put on his mask, the door of the fencing training hall was opened, and Chu Shifeng walked in wearing a suit.
Seeing Chu Shifeng, Chu Shinan immediately showed a smile on his face, trotted up to Chu Shifeng, and said coquettishly: "Brother, I thought you weren't coming!"
Chu Shifeng rubbed Chu Shinan's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "This is your last training in Xiangjiang, I definitely want to come and take a look!"
Chu Shinan nodded happily.
"Okay, Coach Smith is already waiting for you, hurry up and train!"
Chu Shifeng preached to Chu Shinan.
Chu Shinan instantly walked to Coach Smith with confidence and started the last round of training.
Bao Zhaoxi sat with Chu Shifeng and watched Chu Shinan training on the field.
"Brother, do you think Anan can defeat Zagunis this time?" Bao Zhaoxi looked at Chu Shinan on the court and asked Chu Shifeng curiously.
"When we were in Athens before, Anan lost to Zagunis, but he was sad for a long time!"
Chu Shifeng picked up a bottle of mineral water next to him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely win!"
Chu Shinan, the eldest daughter of Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia, has been fond of fencing since she was a child. After Chu Huan found out about this, she spent a lot of money to hire the world's top coach Smith in North America.
I originally thought that this was just a personal hobby of Chu Shinan, but I didn't expect that Chu Shinan would actually regard this as his career. Now he has represented Xiangjiang in the Athens Olympics, but in a quarter of the Athens Olympics
In the finals, he lost to North American player Zagunis, and in the end he only won a bronze medal!
But this is already one of Xiangjiang's best personal results in the Olympics. Chu Shinan is now a national idol in Xiangjiang.
"By the way, uncle said before that you put a sum of funds in Madoff's fund company?" Chu Shifeng suddenly asked Bao Zhaoxi.
Bao Zhaoxi, Bao Tianming's eldest son, has now established an investment company in Xiangjiang, mainly responsible for the investment in some real estate projects.
Bao Zhaoxi nodded and said nonchalantly: "Yes, my dad gave me a start-up capital last year and put part of it into Madoff's investment company."
At this point, Bao Zhaoxi remembered that Chu Shifeng would not ask himself these things for no reason.
"Is there something wrong, brother?"
Chu Shifeng said: "The problem is not too big, but you should take it out. I recently discovered that Madoff's investment company has some problems, but I can't confirm it yet, but you always have to be safer!"
Bernard Madoff Investment Company, one of the largest investment companies in North America, is also one of the fund companies with the most stable returns in North America, guaranteeing an annual return of 10-15%.
However, the Bernard Madoff Fund Company does not collect investment funds from outside, but uses a recommendation system.
In addition, Bernard Madoff also served as the three-term chairman of Nasdaq in North America. He may not be the richest man on Wall Street, but he is definitely one of the most influential figures on Wall Street.
His Bernard Madoff Investment Company now manages more than $68 billion in assets.
For such a person, Chu Shifeng said that his investment company may have risks. After hearing what Chu Shifeng said, Bao Zhaoxi did not hesitate at all and said: "I know. When I go back in the evening, I will
Just notify the North American side to withdraw the funds!"
After finishing speaking, Bao Zhaoxi curiously asked Chu Shifeng: "Brother, Madoff is a very important figure in North America, and his fund company has huge influence on Wall Street. If his company really has
If it’s a question, would the impact be too great?”
Chu Shifeng said: "As long as you know it, don't tell anyone about this kind of thing, you know?"
Bao Zhaoxi smiled and nodded: "I know, I know, brother, don't you still trust me? We are the ones who don't listen to you, brother!"
Chu Shifeng knew that although Bao Zhaoxi seemed a little careless, he also knew that he was actually very tight-lipped. If it weren't for his trust in Bao Zhaoxi, he would not have told Bao Zhaoxi about this matter.
.
Speaking of this, Bao Zhaoxi suddenly said: "By the way, brother, Zheng Weng and Yang Shoucheng came to me before and said that there was a guy named Xu who came from his hometown. His real estate company had some problems with its listing road show in Hong Kong. They wanted to
Let me support you, do you think this can be done?"
When Chu Shifeng heard what Bao Zhaoxi said, he knew who he was talking about. He said: "The real estate company's routines in my hometown are different from those in Xiangjiang. They basically rely on banks.
Those who live on loans do not have much cash reserves at all. To put it simply, a change in policy may destroy them. If you really want to make some money in the real estate industry, you still have to cooperate with real estate developers in your hometown.
Be more cautious!”
Bao Zhaoxi nodded and said: "Although the real estate policy in my hometown is not very good now, and now there is a wave of price cuts, I think with the smooth holding of the Olympic Games in my hometown and the policies in my hometown, the real estate industry will definitely
It will arise."
Having said this, Bao Zhaoxi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there are quite a few projects waiting for me to invest anyway, at least one or two, let's take a look!"
At this time, Chu Shinan completed his last training session of the day.
"Brother, I'm done, let's go get something to eat?"
Carrying his mask in one hand and his long sword in the other, Chu Shinan walked over with sweat on his face and a smile on his face.
Chu Shifeng said with a smile: "I won't make the light bulbs for you two. There are several video conferences that need to be held at the North American Jiaku tonight."
Chu Shinan said distressedly: "Brother, there are so many people in the company, you can't be so tired all the time?"
Chu Shifeng rubbed Chu Shinan's head again and said: "It's okay, you can go play!"
After saying that, Chu Shifeng took the lead to leave. Then Chu Shinan said to Bao Zhaoxi a little arrogantly: "Then wait for me. I'll take a shower first."
"Great!" Bao Zhaoxi laughed.
.
Late at night, Chu Shinan returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the lively sounds inside, and then Chu Shinan saw it.
My mother, Lin Qingxia, and several of her friends in the industry, Zhang Guoyi, Mei Yanfang, and Wang Fei, were playing mahjong.
Lin Qingxia has retired for many years, but she still occasionally keeps in touch with friends in the industry and plays mahjong. These people are all her playing partners.
Among them, Zhang Guoyi and Wang Fei are the most enthusiastic.
"Our Hong Kong pride is back!"
Seeing Chu Shinan return, Mei Yanfang greeted him warmly.
Chu Shinan smiled and addressed the four of them, and then asked Mei Yanfang: "Aunt Mei, how is your health?"
Mei Yanfang debuted in TVB's Newcomer Singing Competition, and then signed a contract with Hong Kong's Youyu Records. She soon became the most famous female singer in Hong Kong, and then began to star in movies.
One of the most popular actresses.
In 2002, during the annual physical examination for artists organized by Youyu Records, they were diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer, and then went to Europe for treatment. Fortunately, the disease was discovered relatively early, and the disease was in its early stages, so the condition was under control.
Since then, Mei Yanfang has reduced her workload and seems to be recovering quite well now.
Mei Yanfang smiled happily and said: "It's much better, but you can't drink too much, it's not good!"
Chu Shinan smiled. She had heard from Lin Qingxia that Mei Yanfang liked to go to bars and drink, and said: "It's always better to drink less!"
Zhang Guoyi laughed from the side and said: "Did you see that Ah Nan said the same thing, and said that we people are troublesome!"
"You're talking about me, you should take care of yourself. I was almost scared to death at that time!" Mei Yanfang complained to Zhang Guoyi.
Mei Yanfang suffered from a physical illness, while Zhang Guoyuan suffered from a mental illness. Originally in another time and space, due to the death of Mei Yanfang, her friend, the disaster in 2003, and her own thoughts
The movie he was going to direct was stranded, which made Zhang Guoyi's condition worsen, and he finally jumped from the Mandarin Oriental.
But now Mei Yanfang, a good friend, has not passed away, and the investors of the movie that Zhang Guoyi had been preparing had already withdrawn their capital. However, Lin Qingxia later invested in Zhang Guoyi's movie after reading the script.
With the support of work and friends and family, Zhang Guoyuan's depression has not become uncontrollable and she has slowly recovered.
"Two patients, can you play your cards honestly? Let me tell you, I'm still waiting for a comeback!" Wang Fei, who is addicted to food, looked at the cards in his hand and said nervously.
Lin Qingxia and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw Wang Fei's appearance.
"How was today's training?" Lin Qingxia asked Chu Shinan after she played one and two barrels.
Chu Shinan nodded and said, "Very good!"
Zhang Guoyi said: "Anan, you have to work hard. When the time comes, we will form a group and go to the capital to cheer you on!"
Chu Shinan smiled and said: "Thank you uncle Zhang!"
"By the way, Ah Shen and Ah Zhao will be back in a few days. They called back and asked whether you were in Xiangjiang or the capital at that time. If you were in the capital, they would go directly to the capital!"
Lin Qingxia asked Chu Shinan.
Chu Shishen, the second daughter of Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia, was born in 1987. She is currently studying biology at Yale University in North America.
Chu Shizhao, the youngest son of Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia, was born in 1990. He will graduate from Qingyun School this year and will enter the Technical University of Munich in Germany in the second half of the year.
I am currently traveling in Germany.
Chu Shinan said: "Let them go back to Xiangjiang first. I won't go to the capital with the team until July!"
Lin Qingxia nodded, played a card absently and said: "Let them go to the capital first. Your dad is over there. Your elder brother is so busy, he must not have time to take care of them!"
Chu Shinan asked strangely: "Is there something wrong?"
Lin Qingxia said: "I'm not your sister yet. When I was in school, I had a boyfriend at the university. He was a foreigner. I guess your dad would not agree!"
After hearing this, Chu Shinan knew what was going on.
I am sure that my mother is not very satisfied with Chu Shishen's boyfriend, and she wants her father to tell her.
"I heard what Ashen said before. After graduation, she wants to enter Zhanlan Pharmaceutical for a research-oriented job. If this is the case, she may not be able to stay in North America in the future, and she probably won't be able to find a North American boyfriend.
Bad?"
Zhanlan Pharmaceutical is one of the five largest pharmaceutical groups in the world. It is headquartered in North America and has its own branches in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and other places. In the past two years, the company has been researching and developing cancer-related diseases.
Your own latest drug.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let your dad tell her!" Lin Qingxia did not give a specific reason. In fact, it was because even if Chu Shishen really entered
Zhanlan Pharmaceutical, according to Chu Huan, will still let Chu Shizhao study in the research laboratory in Xiangjiang for a period of time.
The most important thing is that from Lin Qingxia's point of view, since her second daughter will pursue a research-oriented life in the future, she still hopes that her daughter can marry into a wealthy family.
With the Chu family here, they definitely don't have to worry about their daughter being wronged.
Now she has found a foreign boyfriend, which Lin Qingxia herself does not want to see.

North America, Los Angeles, Apex Pictures Headquarters!
The headquarters of Apex Pictures has changed. The huge factory area houses seven of the best studios in Hollywood.
At the same time, there is a studio belonging to Apex Pictures in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
In the president's office, the 58-year-old Kelly was looking at the release status of Apex Pictures in the first half of this year.
Throughout the first half of the year, Apex Pictures did not release a few movies, the most important of which was actually "Iron Man" which premiered in North America on the 2nd of this month.
Sitting opposite Kelly is a Chinese-American mixed-race boy. This boy's Chinese name is Chu Shiyu and his English name is Jason. He is the only son of Chu Huan and Kelly who was born in 1983.
After graduating from college, Chu Shiyu used the Chu family's entrepreneurial fund to set up a film investment company in Hollywood. Last year, he produced the dark horse movie "Bucket".
With a cost of only US$30 million, it achieved a high box office of US$149 million in North America.
With this battle, Chu Shiyu successfully entered Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Apex Pictures, and began to be responsible for new development projects of Marvel movies!
Before this, Marvel Studios had always wanted to launch its own movie universe by referring to Hong Kong's super IP movie series, but it had never been able to find a suitable entry point, so it thought of testing Marvel movies through the box office of a single movie.
box office appeal.
So the "Spider-Man" series and the "X-Men" series were filmed successively. Although these two series were very profitable, they gave Apex Pictures an even bigger headache because these series were so expensive that they didn't want to give up.
The existing development plan can only continue to reap the dividends of these two series.
During this period, I also tried to develop other series, but they were not very successful, especially the "Fantastic Four" series, which suffered a big setback.
As the development of the two series "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" reached a bottleneck, Apex Pictures finally made up its mind to re-develop the Marvel Universe, and this project was handed over to Chu Shiyu by Kelly.
It is impossible to say that there is no selfishness in this, but there is no way, who makes Chu Shiyu her only son!
For Hollywood, although the May schedule is not the best, it is already a very good schedule for experimenting with Iron Man, a Marvel character who is not very popular in the Marvel universe.
Not to mention that Vertex Pictures and Marvel Studios jointly invested US$140 million in production costs for this movie.
Although the movie "Iron Man" has not yet been released in North America, its box office has exceeded 280 million U.S. dollars, and it is a sure thing to break the 350 million U.S. dollars box office mark.
At the same time, the global box office of this movie has also exceeded the US$200 million mark. According to predictions, the final box office of this movie will exceed the US$600 million mark.
"You've passed the test this time. I finally have an explanation with your daddy and eldest brother!"
Kelly looked at the report in her hand and spoke happily and proudly.
In just one year, Chu Shiyu was placed in the position of project leader of Marvel Studios. Kelly was still under a lot of pressure. After all, even Chu Shige was still working in the Empire Fashion Group.
An operation department under my jurisdiction is practicing!
"When you faced everyone's opposition and resolutely cast Robert Downey Jr. as the starring role, even I was sweating!"
As a second-generation star, Robert Downey Jr. became famous at a young age, but lost himself in Vanity Fair and was even imprisoned in the end. However, when the project of "Iron Man" was launched, Chu Shiyu, as the producer of the film, was
The firm choice is to use Robert Downey Jr. to play the role of Iron Man.
At that time, it was unanimously opposed by the top management of Marvel Studios, but in the end, Chu Shiyu was not defeated.
"Daddy and eldest brother both said that professional things should be left to professionals. Now that I have decided to let Jon Favreau be the director of this movie, and Jon Favreau is so optimistic about Robert Downey Jr.
Downey, I naturally support the director’s choice!”
Kelly nodded and said, "That's right, but as a producer, you should also know that you are the most powerful person on this project, and you cannot blindly satisfy the directors' requirements."
Chu Shiyu nodded and said: "I know. In fact, I also think that Robert Downey Jr.'s life is somewhat similar to Tony Stark's life. They were both young and frivolous, and then the prodigal son turned back. In addition, Robert Downey Jr. was in full swing at the time.
At the lowest point in his life, he must take this role seriously before agreeing to Jon Favreau's request!"
Kelly smiled and nodded again: "Very good, you just have your own ideas. Now the "Iron Man" project has been successful, and the concept of SHIELD has been introduced in the movie, and the next step is the Marvel Universe.
The first phase of development is different from developing a movie or a series. You have to control the key!"
With a confident smile on his face, Chu Shiyu said: "Understood, I'm going to take the "Iron Man" crew to the capital in two days to do the final round of publicity. Then I'll ask dad about it.
view!"
Kelly smiled bitterly and said: "Your dad has stopped caring about the company's affairs a long time ago. If you ask him to give you some advice, you might as well ask your big brother for help!"
Chu Shiyu said: "Big Brother must also ask. I have called Big Brother before. He will also go to the capital in a while to participate in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. It will be a good time to learn from him!"
Speaking of this, Chu Shiyu suddenly said to Kelly: "Mommy, why don't you come with us then? Haven't you also not seen daddy for more than a month?"
Kelly thought for a moment and said: "I have already called your dad. I will go there with you and cheer for Nan's game."
After coming out of his mother's office, Chu Shiyu came to his car. In Chu Shiyu's car, his current girlfriend Blake Lively, the star of "Gossip Girl", was already waiting for him in the car.
.
Chu Shiyu, who has entered Hollywood with the aura of being the crown prince of Apex Pictures, is also very colorful in personal relationships. When he first entered the industry, there were rumors of an affair with Scarlett Johansson. As a result, he went to Israel again within a few days.
Appeared at the dance with Gal Gadot, the then Miss Israel.
Gal Gadot is currently filming the fourth installment of the "Fast and Furious" series, a newly launched project of Vertex Pictures. It is reported in Hollywood that the reason why Gal Gadot was able to get this role was because her old lover Jason helped to win it.
Arrived.
However, both parties involved gave a negative answer to this rumor!
"Honey, where are we going?" Blake, who was sitting in the car, held Chu Shiyu's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Go to Marvel Studios. Now that "Iron Man" is a hit, we can start preparations for the second part. In addition, we also need to cast for the "Thor" series."
Although the "Thor" project has been scheduled to be released in 2011, with the success of "Iron Man", Marvel Studios has already begun planning these projects.
As the first phase of the Marvel Universe, the concept of the Avengers has also emerged, and the character of Thor will be an important member of the Avengers.
Blake's face immediately showed some excitement and asked: "I heard that the character Jane Foster also needs to be cast?"
Chu Shiyu naturally knew what Blake meant. He actually understood very well why these Hollywood actresses were willing to climb into his bed. Is it just because they were handsome?
As a mixed-race Chu Shiyu, she must admit that she is indeed handsome, but there are not many people in Hollywood who are more handsome than herself. The real reason why these actresses are willing to sleep with him is more because of their identity.
"Marvel Studios has extended an audition invitation to your company!"
Black understood that getting the audition invitation was only the first step in getting this role. His whole body hung on Chu Shiyu's body, and he said delicately: "I heard that your company also offered Natalie Portman
An invitation was sent out?”
Although Blake Lively was starring in several movies in Hollywood at this time, her popularity was still not enough compared to Natalie Portman, so she was worried that she would lose this role.
Chu Shiyu put one hand on Blake's smooth thigh and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Natalie Portman is a bit inappropriate for her age. "Thor" will be a long series of movies."
When Chu Shiyu joined Marvel Studios as the main person in charge, Chu Shifeng once told him, "Movies should stay away from politics!"
After Natalie Portman entered Hollywood, she has been learning from George Clooney and moving closer to political correctness. This is why Chu Shiyu does not want to use her.
Of course, Chu Shiyu would definitely not tell Blake Lively the specific reason, so he used age jokes to deal with Blake Lively.
After Chu Shiyu's words, Blake Lively felt at ease.
No matter what, Chu Shiyu still has a very good reputation in Hollywood. He is not the kind of person who just puts up his pants and refuses to admit his fault. Just look at Scarlett Johansson and Gal Gadot.
One has been confirmed to join "Iron Man 2" as Black Widow, and the other has already started filming "Fast and Furious 4"!
After coming out of Marvel Studios, Chu Shiyu took Blake back to his residence, but just when he was about to do something, Chu Shiyu's phone rang.
"Who is it?" Chu Shiyu asked dissatisfiedly without looking at the caller ID.
"I, where are you?"
There was a boy's voice on the phone, speaking Cantonese.
Chu Shiyu saw the caller ID and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Why do you have time to come to Xiangjiang instead of staying in Xiangjiang?"
"It's not A Guang yet. My elder brother said that A Guang knew a girlfriend, but there was something wrong with that girl's mind. My elder brother asked me to help A Guang see clearly. But I didn't know until I got to Paris that that guy had come to Los Angeles. I
I can only run here!"
The caller was none other than Chu Shipei.
"Where is Aguang in Los Angeles? You didn't even tell me?"
Chu Shiyu preached dissatisfiedly.
"Don't you understand that painting nerd A Guang? Let's meet and tell him where you are. I'll go find you!" Chu Shipei said on the phone.
