"In another week at most, we will be able to complete the financial review of all 1 billion yuan of Rose Garden's registered debt. Judging from the current situation, as we originally expected, the final debt that needs to be borne by this project is only about 600 million yuan. The other They are all debts borne by related parties who have no actual rights and interests in this project. They can be divested without any accident. Even if a lawsuit is eventually launched, we can win."
Inside the restaurant of the Maoer Hutong courtyard house.
Chen Qing heard what Jill said and interrupted: "Gill, I have to remind you about this. You must give up the idea that Americans will always file lawsuits. This project, even if we give up in the end, there cannot be any public litigation."
Jill was confused: "Chen, I don't understand?"
There were other people in the restaurant, but Chen Qing didn't go too deep. She just said: "The city government wants us to take over this project because it doesn't want any negative news to come out. Legal action is one of them, so now you just need to remember this." One thing, and the rest, you will gradually understand later.”
"Okay," Gil nodded, and continued: "It is estimated that after restructuring, we can reduce the debt of 600 million yuan to less than 500 million yuan. This is very cost-effective, because compared with four years ago, the land price in Changping District has increased. It has more than tripled, and the value of the land itself is now over 500 million."
Zhu Momo, who was secretly depressed because of the estrangement between Jian Xin and the two girls, heard this and couldn't help but interject: "In this case, why do the superiors push the business to us? There should be many people rushing to do it, right?"
Chen Qing looked at the girl and asked, "Can you just take out 500 million?"
Zhu Momo blinked and probably understood.
According to a man's net worth, 500 million yuan is equivalent to less than 60 million US dollars, which is a small amount of money for a few luxury houses, but for other capital, it may become a large amount of money that is difficult to collect.
This is also true.
However, Zhu Momo only thought of one aspect.
As for other reasons, first of all, the overall environment of China's real estate industry is not good. Starting from the regulation in 1993, it is still in a state of tightening. Under strict regulation, the overall industry is in a downturn, which inevitably limits the investment enthusiasm of real estate developers.
Secondly, this project is too big, and it may not be as exaggerated as the subsequent construction of cities. But now in 1996, the Rose Garden in Changping District, Beijing, covering an area of 800 acres, is the largest villa real estate project in the country. , the result is that the capital that wants to take over is not strong enough, and capable investors do not dare to take over at will.
Finally, the interests behind this project are really complicated.
If it weren't for the government's intervention this time, which can play a role in cutting off the mess, even Simon would not take over casually. When Chen Qing had a private conversation with Jill, she said that the right time to intervene in the Rose Garden was after the government intervened but before the project went bankrupt.
I just didn't expect to be approached by the superiors.
Since I was originally interested in taking over, dealing with this big trouble would make the official a favor, and my boss also agreed, so I finally started to get involved.
Jill drank the sweet soup and saw that Zhu Momo had no intention of speaking again, and continued: "Speaking of this, the government official responsible for following up on this project also asked about the funds today. They were probably also worried that we would be like Like the previous investors, they just wanted to... well, to use a Chinese idiom, they were empty-handed, haha, this is a very interesting word."
Jill had been chatting with Chen Qing in Chinese at the dinner table. When she heard what the girl said, Jian Xin, who had just arrived today, realized that compared to the initial awkwardness of Jill's Chinese, only a few months had passed. Niu's Chinese proficiency has improved by leaps and bounds, and she doesn't even have much of an accent.
Discovering this, Jian Xin felt inexplicably stressed.
It is only said that at this time at the dinner table, both Chen Qing and Jill seemed to be the type who were both good-looking and very capable. On the other hand, she and Tao Yuelei had nothing to rely on other than this skin.
Perhaps, I have unknowingly put aside the matter of studying fashion design because I was too busy and my life was too comfortable in the past few months, but I still need to bring it up as soon as possible.
When Chen Qing saw Jill talking about this, she thought about it and said, "The director's surname is Li, right? Tomorrow... Well, in this case, I will personally invite him to dinner at noon tomorrow and have a chat. Then you will come too, and we will call him Peck." In the name of a special real estate investment company, a sum of money will be transferred directly to the country."
Jill nodded, and felt that Chen Qing's actions were a bit unnecessary. It would be enough to just wire the money in. There was no need to talk anymore.
However, the girl also probably thought that there must be rules that she was not aware of.
Still have to study hard.
Of course Chen Qing has her own considerations.
Regarding this project, although his boss personally approved it, not many people in China knew about it. This was Chen Qing's deliberate decision based on his boss's wishes.
Someone likes to be 'the man behind the scenes'.
Therefore, this project, which is nominally being negotiated with all parties, is a 'Peckett Real Estate Investment Company' that was just registered in Hong Kong some time ago. It directly uses a random name after Gill's surname, rather than Levi, which the city government expected. Mori Group. Moreover, even if it goes up a level, the parent company of Pect Real Estate Investment Company is still a shell company registered in the Cayman Islands. In short, it is not directly pointed to the Westeros system.
Therefore, even if Chen Qing's background is known, this matter will inevitably make the city government prisoners murmur.
If there is another one who wants to mess with nothing, then the entire project will probably be completely ruined and will not be able to end.
The best way to dispel the above doubts is to show your strength.
To put it simply, it is to transfer a real amount of cash to the country, similar to a deposit. This is probably what Director Li, who is responsible for following up on this project, and even more people behind the scenes are looking forward to. As for Chen Qing, things are also different. It couldn't be simpler. The most indispensable thing in the Westeros system now is cash.
In order to completely dispel the doubts of those who are paying attention to this matter at once and try his best to cooperate with the reorganization, Chen Qing has already thought of the amount, 50 million US dollars.
A large amount of cash equivalent to more than 400 million yuan, or foreign exchange, may not be a big deal to the entire city of Beijing, but it will be a big favor to Director Li of the government office who was appointed to follow up on this project. , the other party said that the money should be placed in which bank after it enters the country. It is also a political achievement for the president that the relevant bank receives such a large deposit.
In fact, connections are built up little by little.
This time it is giving, and next time you can ask for help. After many contacts, you will unconsciously form a closer relationship of interest than acquaintances and friends.
Chen Qing is completely self-taught in these matters. As an American, even though Jill has a high IQ and a high degree of education from Princeton, after all, the cultural environment is different, and it takes time to hone her skills to understand.
While chatting like this, as the dinner was coming to an end, Chen Qingcai said to Jian Xin and the others: "The boss has helped you open up a good situation, just like the interview on CCTV some time ago, and the VCD of the Victoria's Secret show that just passed. You may I don’t know, it’s just a channel I contacted, and 5 million Victoria’s Secret discs have been released in China. Just one week ago, distributors asked for more. You can imagine your popularity. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for missing the preparation schedule, I can even push you to go to the Spring Festival Gala to show your face, and we’ll see you next year. And Xiaohan, you have to work hard too. In short, it depends on you how far you can develop next. I only remind you, don’t You have to earn any modest money, and consider your own positioning, you are now a world-class supermodel with a good style, do you understand?"
Whether it was Jian Xin or An Xiaohan, even if they were a little uncomfortable because of the condescending tone in Chen Qing's tone, they still nodded in agreement subconsciously.
Chen Qing drank the last sip of the sweet soup, put down the spoon, and did not forget to wish Momo. She looked at the girl and smiled: "Momo will stay here tonight, but the rooms in the inner courtyard are already full. You and Wuling are just Being able to live outside in the yard.”
Just as Mo Wuling was about to speak, Zhu Momo suppressed the grievance in her heart and said, "Okay."
Mo Wuling noticed his niece's expression, hesitated a little, and said no more. This girl has inherited some of her eldest sister's personality traits deep down. However, Mo Wuling will never talk to his sister about what happened tonight, otherwise he will definitely be punished.
After Chen Qing arranged all this, she got up and went out. The Jiangshan Wu sisters who were serving Chen Qing on either side also followed her out. Zhu Momo couldn't help but made a "dog leg" comment. type, happened to be seen by Zhao Anni opposite, the girl did not feel guilty at all, and even glared at the other party.
Zhao Anni could only lower her head and continue eating, wondering who did she offend? However, maybe if you see the big boss again one day, you should take the initiative, just in case... Let's see what qualifications you have to glare at yourself.
snort.
After Chen Qing left, everyone quickly dispersed.
Even though she was arranged outside and entered the courtyard, Zhu Momo did not leave, let alone ask for trouble and take the initiative to join Jian Xin and the two. However, when the maid who led her to the room left, the girl rolled and fluttered on the big bed, and for the first time the thought of rebelling against her mother came to her mind.
On the other side, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei were also assigned to the third courtyard outside. They had never lived in the inner courtyard before, so they didn't feel much wrong.
There is even less time.
Back in his room, An Xiaohan, who was also reluctant to stay after Jian Xin asked him to stay, began to introduce the situation in the country to the two girls. The two girls once again deeply felt how popular they were in the country.
After several months of publicity, the popularity of the two women exploded after the fifth Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and the interview in "Eastern Time and Space" were broadcast.
Only in the past week, I heard that they will return to China in the near future. Even though Elite China has said in advance that cooperation under 100,000 yuan will not be discussed, An Xiaohan still received hundreds of offers from various parties for commercial performances, endorsements, There are all kinds of invitations including play dates, interviews, etc.
However, even without Chen Qing’s reminder at dinner, An Xiaohan, who Elite hired through the Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute headhunting team and has many years of experience working in the fashion circles in Europe and China, also knew how to treat two women. Packaging positioning.
At this stage, China is in the era of big marketing, and even a slightly famous person can receive the attention of a large number of businesses. As the only two Chinese supermodels to appear on the Victoria's Secret runway, Jian Xin was even reported by CCTV. In addition, the VCD of the recent Victoria's Secret show has become a hot seller in China. This kind of ' If you want to make money with a national reputation, it is really easy.
But, nothing is too much.
Just like Chen Qing reminded, if you want to earn any kind of messy money, whether it is the endorsement of Sanwu health products or the opening of a nightclub, you will definitely make a lot of money in the short term, but it is probably not going to happen soon. After all, everyone All kinds of regular big brands attach great importance to the reputation of their spokespersons, and it is impossible to cooperate with celebrities whose style is too low.
On the other hand, models are eating a meal of youth after all. They can make more money in the short term, which is of course the best.
This requires a good sense of scale.
Jian Xin and An Xiaohan discussed this until late at night, and got up early the next day when it got dark.
This time I went directly to Beijing because I was mainly busy with two things that had been finalized. One was Jian Xin's endorsement for Simmons in China, and the other was an exclusive interview with "Fashion" magazine for the two women.
Simmons' endorsement is obviously the result of Simon's personal operation.
As an internationally renowned mattress brand still controlled by Apollo Management Company, Simmons has been expanding in recent years, and the Chinese market will naturally not let it go. Simon didn't pay much attention to it before, because Jian Xin and the two girls just got to know it and found that the Simmons team still suffered from the common problem of Westerners' pride and prejudice. Although they did not let go of the Chinese market, they did not pay attention to it, so they intervened personally.
At present, Simmons has re-formulated its China marketing plan for 1997, one of which is to increase spokespersons and TV advertising. A certain spokesperson position was also directly determined by Simon, and Jian Xin, who has a dignified and elegant temperament, was just right.
As for the interview with "Vogue", "Fashion" here has nothing to do with "Vogue". It is a journal founded by the National Tourism Administration in 1993. It is not only a national prefix, but also the most influential fashion magazine in China.
The five-entry courtyard was so spacious that it could be called empty. The women did not get together again during breakfast. Jian Xin and the other two girls only found Chen Qing, who was also about to go out, to say goodbye before leaving.
Everyone else started their day's work early, but Zhu Momo was the last to get up, have breakfast, and naturally be the last to go out.
As an auditor in the 96-level acting class of China National Opera, she usually only takes some professional classes, and this morning she happened to have a physical class.
Zhu Momo packed her bag and planned to walk to the nearby Chinese Opera class. She endured it all night. Before going out, she finally said to her aunt: "I have decided to live here from now on and will not go back to the apartment in Hepingli. Auntie, if you tell my mother, I will run away from home and go back to the United States."
During this period, after learning about Zhu Momo's experience in the United States and seeing a certain man's brilliance with his own eyes, Mo Wuling lost the excitement of calling his sister directly. He just listened to Zhu Momo's obviously angry tone. , but couldn't help but retort: "Your mother has taken away your passport, how can you go back to the United States?"
Thinking of this made her even more depressed. Mother probably thought that she might have this idea very early and took away her passport early. However, Zhu Momo quickly said: "I will just reissue it secretly. Anyway, you tell me My mother, I ran away from home.”
Mo Wuling leaned on the door frame and looked at his niece: "Even if I don't tell you, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Zhu Momo pulled the shoulder strap of her satchel and said firmly: "That's it, I'll live here."
"That..." Mo Wuling paused and said, "Momo, I'm talking about a long time later. You know, he will definitely not be able to marry you."
"Then, let's talk about it later," Zhu Momo said, but couldn't help but said: "Auntie, why don't you go back to Tianjin University, finish your graduate studies, and stay in school according to your original plan, there is no need to follow me .”
Mo Wuling shook his head: "Even if I agree, your mother doesn't agree. And, to be honest, as your assistant now, the salary is too high. I can't bear to resign."
When Mo Yiling asked Simon to assign two assistants to his daughter, one spot was given directly to his younger sister. As a result, Mo Wuling gave up his graduate studies and his job as an undergraduate counselor on the way to stay in school. Mo Wuling was a little hesitant at first, but after learning about the salary of this job and the request of his sister, who has deep authority at home, he finally agreed.
He even roped in one of his classmates to occupy another spot.
After all, the basic salary of US$1,000 per month, not counting various benefits, is like a dream. Even if I could only do it for 5 years according to my sister's original request, that would still be more money than many people make in a lifetime today.
Zhu Momo was helpless when her aunt said this, so she could only say: "Then do it yourself, I'm going to class."
Mo Wuling nodded and watched Zhu Momo leave before returning to the west wing of the Sanjin courtyard.
Although the salary is so high that it seems unreal, because he only has to take care of Zhu Momo on weekdays, Mo Wuling has more leisure than the direct Wei family maid team here. The classmate named Ren Jingxi who was originally brought in to provide some help was also sent back by Mo Wuling to take care of her seriously ill mother. She was a little worried at first, but later found out that no one cared about her, so she felt relieved. Come.
In recent months, in addition to taking care of Zhu Momo's daily life and arranging for her to take acting classes and filming, Mo Wuling also made full use of the benefits provided by this job and obtained a driver's license. Then the company took the initiative to equip her with a Mercedes-Benz. It’s still something you can’t afford in your lifetime.
Now that the filming of "Something to Say" has been completed, Zhu Momo has no other work for the time being, and Mo Wuling will inevitably have more leisure time.
After returning to the room, she simply cleaned up some housework. In fact, she didn't need to do any of this. She remembered that there was a library in the garden next door, so she got up and went out.
He walked through the corridor and came to the library in the garden. There was a maid cleaning here. She didn't stop Mo Wuling. He walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor. After some picking, he found a volume of "Awakening" by Feng Menglong on the bookshelf. "Shihengyan" was not inserted properly, and I still had the bookmark on it, so I took it out, walked to the mahogany desk by the window, sat down, and started reading.
Then I discovered that not only was the sunlight coming in from the window just right, but it was also very warm in the library, not as cold as it should be in winter.
Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes.
This word flashed across his mind inexplicably. Mo Wuling flipped through the book and suddenly felt that maybe this was done intentionally by some superior guy.
In this world, not only men are afraid of Wenwenxiang, women are also afraid.
It seems that I should think about doing something, and I can't allow myself to completely sink into the "Gentle Country" like this.
However, Mo Wuling majored in literature at Tianjin University and gave up his original career plan. For a while, he didn't expect what he could do.
Worrying people.
Fortunately there is no rush.
You can think about it slowly, think about it slowly...
Being so careless, the whole day passed before I knew it.
Zhu Momo stayed directly in the courtyard, and Mo Wuling also stayed.
Chen Qing didn't express any objection to this at all, and even took the initiative to ask the two of them if they were missing anything. She looked very concerned, which even made Mo Wuling a little suspicious.
A certain woman is definitely not such an easy talker.
But, I can't figure out why.
So it was until November 28, Thursday, which was Thanksgiving in the United States. Chen Qing finally finished her work in the capital and flew to Suzhou. Next, she would start a global roadshow with China Telecom's IPO team. , to prepare for simultaneous listings in Hong Kong and New York in mid-December.
Gulfstream V arrived in Suzhou at ten o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Chen Qing got off the plane, she received a call from home, asking her to go back as soon as possible.
She rarely received calls from her father, and she never told her family about her schedule. Chen Qing, who was slightly confused, was about to shirk it, saying that she was very busy and would go home for dinner in the evening. Unexpectedly, her father was very angry and directly said that she would not go back later. Just never go back and then threw the phone down.
There's no way around it.
I could only let the driver drive home while wondering if something had happened to my brother again. Since Chen Qing became rich, even without any deliberate support, the family has changed a lot, both good and bad.
Probably because he discovered the sudden wealth of the Chen family, but did not find out the deeper details, Chen Qing's brother Chen Liang was lured into gambling some time ago and lost more than 100,000.
After the incident, Chen's father became furious. He not only made his 31-year-old son kneel in the yard for a whole day, but also whipped him with a belt without mercy. Chen Qing's brother's coat was beaten to pieces. If Chen's mother hadn't been so distressed that she fainted, it's hard to say how severe the beating would have been.
Finally, Chen Qing finished.
Chen Qing was even more angry than her parents about this matter.
Compared to her, a daughter who is careless in the eyes of her parents, although her brother has no great potential, he has always done his duty since he was a child, being filial to his parents, loving his sister, and caring about his family.
I didn't expect it to be designed like this.
If it is an ordinary person, if they encounter this kind of thing, they will often have no choice but to admit defeat even if they lose everything. It is a pity that they met Chen Qing. The city government quickly launched a highly targeted anti-gang operation, and in the end some people were sentenced to death. Coupled with the greetings from the above, some people completely understood that the Chen family was not to be trifled with.
Later, some people on the road even took the initiative to contact her and apologize.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing felt a little relieved.
She handled the last incident very well, even extremely well, and there was no chance that there would be any further trouble. Therefore, it is definitely not something happening again at home. After all, with her father's character, he will definitely not give her brother a second chance to make mistakes. After that incident, even the supermarket she funded her brother to open was taken over by her father. She was just worried. The son is a prodigal again.
Now that she was sure of this, Chen Qing felt relieved and began to think about things in Suzhou.
This time when I returned to Suzhou, I mainly discussed the Jinshu Cinema's *** plan with Zhu Momo's mother in detail. Thinking of Zhu Momo's mother, Chen Qing became dissatisfied again, not to Mo Yiling, but to the person she had arranged for last time. Zhu Momo’s father wishes to be a female teacher in the school where he first served as the principal.
It's been such a long time that she hasn't heard any good news. It's really useless.
Her mind kept spinning with various things. When she heard the driver's reminder, Chen Qing realized she had arrived home.
The female guard opened the car door, and Chen Qing got out of the car. She found that the door to her home was open, so she went in without thinking much.
Then he was stunned.
Because at a glance, Chen Qing saw a young girl standing alone next to the century-old osmanthus tree in the yard that she had spent a lot of effort to transplant. It was not the useless thing she just thought of. Shen Lige .
What's happening
Is this rebellion or seeking death
Then, before it was Chen Qing's turn to think too much, Chen's father, who heard the commotion, rushed out of the main room angrily, holding a feather duster in his hand.
Behind his father, in addition to his mother, brother and sister-in-law, there was also a woman who Chen Qing also did not expect to appear here.
Mo Yiling.
Chen's father was obviously so angry that his face turned red. He rushed to Chen Qing, raised his feather duster and began to slap him. He kept mumbling: "I can't teach you well, I can't teach you well. What did I, Chen Tiejun, do in my previous life?" Damn it, I gave birth to a bad-hearted girl like you, how could you do such a thing, I will beat you to death today!"
Snap-pop-pop-
Chen Qing finally woke up from the pain that she had been familiar with since she was a child. However, seeing her mother looking at her with tears in her eyes, Chen Qing, who originally wanted to run, finally stopped.
But you can't be beaten like this.
After a little hesitation, Chen Qing shouted pitifully: "Dad, stop fighting. I bought this suit for 120,000 yuan."
Father Chen, who originally raised his arms high again, paused. Being used to being frugal, he could not imagine what kind of clothes cost 120,000 yuan. However, when he thought about what his daughter was doing now, he couldn't help but not believe it, so he failed to remove the feather duster. , but he still didn't forget to stare at his girl: "120,000, what kind of clothes cost 120,000, you, you are really going to piss me off."
After throwing away the feather duster, Chen Tiejun squatted on the ground slumped, hugged his head, and continued to mutter to himself.
Seeing that her father stopped taking action, Chen Qing relaxed a little. However, seeing her father squatting slumped on the ground and her mother coming over to help him with tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Finally, she looked at Mo Yiling, who was just watching her being beaten, and gritted her teeth in her heart.
Aunt Mo, you are so cruel!
