Lin Zhao followed Chen Qing and walked around the dusty demolition construction site for more than two kilometers from east to west. He felt like he was almost losing consciousness in his heels. Many times he had to hold his chest to pretend to block the dust, otherwise it would be even worse. Tired, after an hour of this, when I got back in the car, I felt like my soul was flying a little bit.

After all, she is a girl who grew up in the city. She has been cared for even if she is not spoiled since she was a child. Lin Zhao has never suffered from this crime.

Looking at Chen Qing, who is still full of energy even though she is inevitably stained by some dust, even if she is not convinced, Lin Zhao has to admit that this woman is indeed much better than her.

Through the car window, she finally said goodbye to Boss Liang, who was in charge of the construction here. After the driver drove the car out of the construction site, Chen Qing looked at the embarrassed Lin Zhao next to her and teased: "My health is so bad, it's a waste of time. When Kong is named, you might as well call her Lin Daiyu."

Lin Zhao was speechless for a moment.

Even my nose felt a little sore, I felt aggrieved, and I felt a little self-pitying that I was so useless.

Of course Chen Qing would not tell the person next to her that she had been the women's 5,000-meter long-distance running champion every year in college. Therefore, it was not that Lin Zhao was in poor health, but that she was in good physical condition. She raised her wrist to look at her watch and told the driver to drive faster. .

It's already past half past eleven.

There is still a dinner party at noon, and I have to go back to shower and change clothes first. It doesn't matter if I'm late, but it can't be too late after all.

Then he turned to the silent Lin Zhao again: "You just saw the construction site with me. How did you feel?"

Lin Zhao paused, not knowing what to say.

At first, she followed Chen Qing and tried to listen carefully to the conversation between him and Boss Liang. However, in the end, it was just a pain in her feet.

Chen Qing didn't wait for an answer, and Gu Zi continued: "If we only talk about returns, this is actually not a very good business. The total investment of 2 billion is higher than the total cooperation amount that Mr. Wang and I discussed this morning. , the future appreciation space is even worse. However, the key is actually the land itself. Even if it is not as close to Xiangshan as it was originally, the distance is not too far. As for Xiangshan, hehe, I can’t tell you so much now. Use it, and you will gradually understand it in the future, provided that you can get close to the boss."

Lin Zhao still didn't respond, but he still secretly kept these words in his heart.

Chen Qing continued: "There is also Boss Liang, who is also worth mentioning. He is the project leader of another 800-acre large villa project we bought in Changping. Since 1992, that project has changed hands several times. Everyone in the boss family is thinking of nothing but nothing. Only Boss Liang, the contractor, has been really doing things. He has actually built more than 100 villas and paid more than 200 million in advance for this. Last year, we took over this project and it almost cost us 200 million yuan. The mess that cannot be carried out was personally ordered by the boss. The debt value of other creditors was reduced to the lowest. Only Boss Liang received the full amount of 238 million arrears, as well as the larger 2,500-acre real estate project in Xiangshan. So , Sister Daiyu, how do you feel about this time?"

Lin Zhao weakly glared at Chen Qing to show her dissatisfaction with the title of 'Sister Daiyu'. However, after a little hesitation, she finally said: "Your boss likes people who work hard."

"Haha, who doesn't like this kind of person?" Chen Qing smiled and said, "Boss Liang has the best ending in that project, but in fact it can be better."

Lin Zhao didn't know why.

Chen Qingdao: "As the largest creditor, he actually had the opportunity to fight for the ownership of the project before us. When no one else did anything, in order to prevent the project that was previously the largest villa area in China from being unfinished, even the city government would support it. Leave the project to him. If things develop like this, he will jump from a construction company owner to a real estate company owner, and he will also be the type who directly enters the Beijing real estate circle. As for the 800-acre villa area project, these The land price alone has tripled in 2016, with the latest current value exceeding 600 million. Because the capital area has begun to consciously restrict the approval of villa land, the price of villas in the capital will inevitably rise rapidly in the future. When the entire project is completed, he will earn more. , and even became the top rich man in the country. Now, how do you feel? "

Lin Zhao was speechless again.

This time I understand.

Choice is important.

Contractors and real estate developers sometimes just have a thought. If they miss it, they may miss it forever.

Lin Zhao understood better that Chen Qing was actually hinting that she was also experiencing the most important choice in her life at this time.

Returning to the city, Chen Qing took Lin Zhao to the mansion in Maoer Hutong, Nanluogu Lane. After a brief bath and change of clothes, they set off again, heading east to a restaurant outside Dongzhimen.

Lin Zhao, who also changed into a long dress at Chen Qing's request, felt a little numb.

In just half a day, how many houses and sets of clothes have you changed

The two got off the car outside the restaurant. Lin Zhao looked up and saw Meizhou Dongpo Restaurant, a very interesting name. Obviously, it should be a Sichuan cuisine restaurant.

Chen Qing noticed Lin Zhao's gaze and smiled as she walked into the restaurant: "The name is pretty good, but the background of this restaurant is more interesting. You will know about it in the future. For example, you just saw those words on the plaque. , but it has a lot of background.”

Lin Zhao continued to feel numb.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Feng Pengtong, who had probably been waiting in the lobby, came up to him with a somewhat ugly smile: "Hey, Mr. Chen, we thought you weren't coming. Come in quickly, oh, this yes?"

After saying hello, Feng Pengtong seemed to have just noticed Lin Zhao. He couldn't help but glance at the girl's chest, and then quickly moved away.

"I told you in advance that I might be late," Chen Qing said, then looked to her side: "This is Lin Daiyu, you can call her Daiyu."

Feng Pengtong obviously heard something wrong, and took a look at him pretending to be curious: "Lin Daiyu?"

Lin Zhao instinctively didn't like this person very much, so he simply walked on the other side of Chen Qing and remained silent.

Chen Qing smiled and said: "In short, just treat her as a princess. I am that maid's fate."

Normally, Feng Pants would have changed his ways to praise him. At this time, he couldn't figure out the situation, so he didn't dare to add any further details. He asked a waiter to arrange for the two entourages who came with Chen Qing, and then the three of them quickly Arrive at a private room.

Seeing Chen Qing's appearance, a group of men and women sitting at the large round table in the private room stood up to greet each other. There were more than ten people in total. Even though the words were joking, their tone and demeanor were obviously respectful. No one was teasing or punishing people for being late. There were only some tea and snacks on the table, but no food was served.

It was already half past twelve noon, and this group of people had been waiting for at least half an hour.

Everyone greeted, and Feng Pengtong ordered the waiter to start serving food.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone's eyes inevitably fell on Lin Zhao.

So tall, so big.

All right.

It is difficult to give other impressions of this girl at first glance.

Chen Qing finally introduced her in a more formal way: "This is Lin Zhao, Lin Xiangru's Lin, Wu Zhao's Zhao."

Lin Xiangru obviously knew it, so he was asking for forgiveness.

Wu Zhao, on the other hand, had to be reminded by people around him before some of the guests understood.

Wu Zetian.

Tsk!

I couldn't help but dare not underestimate him.

After all, the name is too big, and most people would not dare to have such a big name. Besides, this girl, with her figure and temperament, does not come from an ordinary family.

Respectfully, that's right.

Lin Zhao just nodded slightly towards everyone, somewhat shy of strangers, but in everyone's eyes, he acted coldly.

Understandable.

Lin Zhao and Chen Qing sat down together, and couldn't help but look around. Just now, they recognized several faces that they had only seen in TV movies in the past, such as "Kangxi Incognito" which was just aired during this period. The male protagonist in "Private Interview", as well as his wife, Feng Lazi from "Dream of Red Mansions", and Uncle Ge who won the Best Actor at Cannes for "Alive", and there is another person who seems to have acted in "The Last Emperor" a few years ago. I can't remember his name. Taiqing, whose surname should be Chen, looks gentle and gentle.

The others I didn’t recognize seemed to be familiar to them from the film and television industry.

On Chen Qing's side, most of the people in the box knew each other, but there were also some unfamiliar faces.

Feng Tongtong took the initiative to help introduce him, and everyone quickly started chatting enthusiastically, with Lin Zhao also listening carefully.

There is a pair of brothers named Wang who opened an advertising company called Huayi.

This time it was uninvited.

During the conversation, he also mentioned that he had just reached an agreement in the morning to participate in the investment in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" being produced by Director Chen.

A former colleague of Feng Pengtong, named Zhao, nicknamed Da Gangzi, was recommended to be the director of a TV series called "A Romantic Affair" that was being prepared. The screenwriter was another writer named Hai. , and the drama will be produced by the company of Mr. Liu, another former colleague of Feng Pants.

This company is called Hairun.

There is also a middle-aged man who has just resigned from Beijing and Taiwan. It seems that he has had contact with Chen Qing in advance and is preparing a TV production company called Guangguang Media.

Huayi, Hairun, Guangguang...

Lin Zhao thought for a while, he had never heard of these names before. Judging from the situation, there were guys who wanted to enter the film and television industry. As for why he was so attentive to Chen Qing, it was probably to attract investment.

After all, there are always big projects worth 1 billion to 2 billion, and even a little leakage of funds is enough to support these companies.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, this is Xiao Xu, Mr. Shuo's girlfriend. She is also a top student at Beijing Film Academy. She is in the same class as Jiang Anqi." After chatting for a while, Feng Pants took the opportunity to introduce a pretty girl to After introducing him to Chen Qing, he said to the girl: "Xiao Xu, give Mr. Chen a drink. As long as Mr. Chen is willing to take care of you, I can send you directly to Hollywood."

The girl took a look at Chen Qing's expression, picked up a glass of wine and walked over: "Mr. Chen, I respect you."

Chen Qing had no intention of rejecting anyone. Instead, she looked like a squinty female gangster. She looked at the girl in front of her with a smile. She casually picked up the wine glass and touched it with her. After watching the other person finish the drink, she just brought it to her lips to sip it. After taking a sip, he asked with a smile: "Are you and An Qi really classmates?"

"Yes," Lao Xu, who was still just Xiao Xu, replied respectfully. Thinking of Jiang Anqi's scenery at this time, his eyes looked at Chen Qing a little brighter: "Mr. Chen, please take good care of her in the future."

"You are Mr. Shuo's girlfriend, so of course you have to take care of me. By the way, do you have an agency now?"

Lao Xu shook his head: "Not yet."

Feng Lazi, who was originally sitting on Chen Qing's right hand side, saw the two chatting and very wisely took the initiative to give up a seat to the side.

Chen Qing waited for Lao Xu to sit down and said, "Then just sign the brocade book like An Qi. It just so happens that the TV series being prepared by Hairun is very suitable for you, so you can be the heroine."

Lao Xu didn't take Qiao at all, he nodded obediently and said: "Okay, Mr. Chen, thank you very much."

Chen Qing's eyebrows were curved: "Call me Sister Chen. The more I see you, the more I like you. Come to me if you need anything in the future."

"Yes, Sister Chen."

Everyone in the box was just watching the fun, but Lin Zhao found that Chen Qing had already held her little hand, and was a little speechless. The one next to him... was it really a woman? Why did she look sexier than a man

After casually recognizing the little sister, Chen Qing quickly turned her attention to everyone present again.

After the last order from her boss, Chen Qing has been searching for various potential film and television production companies in the country.

Yesterday's Rong Xinda was the first one.

Two women who resigned from Beijing Film Studio founded this company. Last year, they produced the first TV series "Thunderstorm" adapted from Cao Yu's classic play. The response was good, and with some introductions in the circle, an agreement was quickly reached.

Chen Qing took out 50 million from the profits earned from Jinshu's three projects: "Speak Well", "Kangxi Private Interview" and "Super Girl", and established different shell film and television investment companies to invest in them respectively. .

This is also to prevent a bunch of film and television companies from being owned by the same owner, which is unsightly.

Rongxinda's investment scale was 6 million, and it obtained 60% of the shares. Several other shareholders of Rongxinda were recommended by Jinshu to borrow 4 million to invest in the company, totaling 10 million. Two TV series will be produced next.

In addition, Jinshu also agreed with Rongxinda that Rongxinda would not have an artist management department, and its film and television projects must give priority to actors contracted by Jinshu Management Company.

At this stage, the role of stars in the domestic film and television industry is far less prominent than it was later. Therefore, Rong Xinda had no objection. For this reason, he transferred a very promising actress to Jinshu Agency.

The actress' name is Zhou Gongzi.

This is also the barrier strategy that Chen Qing discussed with her boss.

First of all, Jinshu will try its best to develop relationships with domestic TV stations to form a barrier in TV drama distribution channels.

This barrier can help each subsidiary to better distribute film and television dramas. Similarly, once a dispute occurs, it will not be difficult to use Jinshu's resources and contacts to block it.

Secondly, Jinshu Agency will create another barrier in terms of celebrities.

The Yiqian film and television production company that has invested this time must give priority to using one person from Jinshu Brokerage Company for its projects.

At this stage, the domestic film and television industry is immature and the role of stars is not prominent, so it is not difficult to reach relevant agreements. In the future, even if something wrong is discovered, Jinshu Brokerage Company, which has become powerful, will not be afraid of competition.

Thirdly, overseas channels, this aspect is mainly for film projects. If the films of relevant subsidiaries want to be distributed overseas, they must go through Daenerys Entertainment’s global network.

This is another barrier.

After all, at the current stage of domestic film production, it is difficult to make back the money by relying solely on the local market, and often requires overseas film sales.

Finally, there is actually a financial barrier, which is the easiest to understand.

The main means of controlling Jinshu's direct lineage is funds.

Just like Chen Qing directly took most of the surplus funds from Jinshu this time. When necessary, not only Jinshu but also other subsidiaries can draw on the bottom line.

All these measures are taken as precautionary measures when there are restrictions on foreign investment in the country. The core is to ensure the control of the Westeros system.

At this noon dinner, except for the Wang brothers who unexpectedly showed up, Hairun and Guangguang had already negotiated in advance, and they would basically follow Rong Xinda's model. The only difference was the difference in equity. Among them, Hairun had some foundation, and both parties The investment ratio is the same, and the investment company established separately on one-to-one basis only holds 50% of the shares.

50%, that's the bottom line.

After all, domestic private film and television companies are just starting out, and the Westeros system is fully confident to ensure at least half of the right to speak, no matter how little.

Guangguang is completely destitute. The same one-to-one shell investment company holds 70% of the shares, and the other 30% of the funds are advanced through loans here, and there are also gambling clauses. With the same 10 million yuan in start-up capital and two TV series, Mr. Wang, who resigned from Beijing and Taiwan, could only get 30% of the shares if he had done well. But if he screwed up, everything was in vain.

Compared with Mr. Liu from Hairun, who had already started working in the industry a few years in advance, Chen Qing was actually not very optimistic about Guangguang's project, so she reported it to her boss and was unexpectedly approved.

There are also some that have not been approved.

For example, a company called Superstar in Guangzhou has a boss named Deng. Chen Qing seems to be a very good troublemaker. There is no shortage of production talents in the country, but there is a shortage of people who can attract attention and engage in marketing. Unfortunately, his boss did not agree.

Chen Qing then checked and found out that the other company had many financial problems, but it was just more popular.

In addition, there are two companies that have decided to invest in Lao Jiang's "The Devil Is Coming". One is Zhongbo Media and the other is Huayi. They were originally interested in cooperating with them, but they were also rejected by their own bosses. This Chen Qing understands that "The Japanese Are Coming" cannot be touched. The Jinshu Department only focuses on entertaining the public and does not engage in reflection or profundity.
