Beijing China.
In the courtyard of Maoer Hutong, Chen Qing and her boss finished talking over a video call. It was already around nine o'clock in the evening of Tuesday, October 21st in China, where the time difference was 12 hours faster.
While sorting out the minutes of the meeting, Jiang Shanwu knocked on the door and came in, followed by Zhu Momo who had just returned from Paris today.
Chen Qing immediately smiled: "Momo, come and sit down."
Zhu Momo also smiled and walked to Chen Qing, handed over a gift box, and said, "Sister Chen, this is a gift that my aunt and I brought you."
"Well, thank you," Chen Qing agreed, ignoring a manuscript that Zhu Momo had put down casually, and waited for the girl to sit down on the chair given by Jiang Shanwu, and held her little hand, like a wolf grandma: "Mo Mo, how about sleeping with Sister Chen tonight?"
Zhu Momo has experienced the consequences of sleeping with Chen Qing. She tried hard but couldn't take back her little hand. She could only shrink her neck and find an excuse and said: "Sister Chen, I just came back and I haven't recovered from the jet lag yet. Maybe Can't sleep."
"That's just right. Sister Chen has had some insomnia recently. We can talk all night long," Chen Qing said. Seeing that Momo didn't let go, she started to seduce again: "Momo, sleep with Sister Chen tonight, and I'll tell you." A secret."
Zhu Momo was curious: "What?"
"Promise me first."
Zhu Momo decisively gave up her curiosity, and gestured to a manuscript she had just put on the table with her little hand that was not caught by Chen Qing: "Sister Chen, this is the one written by my aunt, an adaptation of "Yu Xi Tan" The script, she wants you to read it.”
"I know," Chen Qing nodded. Seeing Zhu Momo's resolute refusal, it was just a joke and she didn't force it. She even took the initiative to tell you the secret just now: "Also, let me tell you in advance, your mother Come here tomorrow.”
Zhu Momo's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously wanted to get up. After being pulled by Chen Qing, she realized that her mother was coming tomorrow, but she was still a little uneasy and said, "Sister Chen, what am I, my mother doing in Beijing?"
"Talk about some projects."
Chen Qing said casually.
To be precise, Mo Yiling came here to 'collect debts'. Last time in Suzhou, his boss promised to produce at least five costume dramas in Jinshu Film and Television City next year. Someone agreed casually. As for Suzhou, But it was such a big deal that Mo Yiling, who was worried about being left out, simply led his team to come over and finalize the details.
Zhu Momo obviously didn't understand in detail why her mother came to the capital. She just felt that there were nails on the chair. After all, she and her aunt had kept the matter with Simon secret from the family. In case her mother came to Beijing and found out that she and Simon My aunt still lives here in Mao'er Hutong, so her secret is completely exposed.
Zhu Momo just wanted to move out overnight, so she struggled to hold Chen Qing's hand again, and this time she was able to take it back. The girl immediately stood up: "Sister Chen, in this case, my aunt and I will move out first."
Chen Qing saw Zhu Momo's anxious look and pulled her to sit down again: "Have you told your mother about returning to Beijing?"
"No," Zhu Momo shook her head, and after a moment of reaction, her eyes brightened, and then darkened again: "I can't hide it, my mother is very powerful, she must know that I have come back, and I still have to move out."
Chen Qing smiled and reassured: "Okay, there's no need to rush now. You can just move out tomorrow morning. Your mother won't arrive until this morning."
Zhu Momo thought so, but after all she no longer had the intention to chat with Chen Qing, so she still had to go back to get ready, and stood up again: "Sister Chen, if nothing happens, I will go back first."
Chen Qing did not force herself this time and watched Zhu Momo leave with a smile. Thinking about Mo Yiling again, she felt a little emotional.
That is a woman who even wants to be 'obedient' to her own boss.
By the time Jiang Shanwu closed the door again, Chen Qing had already recovered her thoughts and returned to work again.
As for the script that Zhu Momo had just sent to Mo Wuling, Chen Qing just put it aside and asked someone to take it to Jinshu's professional team for evaluation tomorrow. She didn't have that much free time.
After the video conference just now, cooperation in telecommunications, matters in Hong Kong and the Institute of Life Sciences have been basically finalized. Next, the main thing to worry about is South Korea.
Chen Qing stood up from the desk, went to the bookcase behind her, skillfully pulled out several documents and returned them, spread them out one by one, and began to read and sort through them again.
According to the wishes of his boss, the first thing the Westeros system needs to do in the next operation is to capture most of South Korea's entertainment industry, including movies, television, music, games and other fields.
Chen Qing has read a lot of relevant information recently and feels that her boss is making a fuss out of a molehill.
It’s hard to say what the scale of the Korean entertainment industry is right now. After all, the country is not big to begin with, and it’s still in the stage of clumsily imitating Japan.
Therefore, it is very simple to win.
The major film, television and music companies in South Korea are basically direct or indirect subsidiaries of the major chaebols. Next, it is still unclear whether those chaebols can survive. In order to survive, they must be very happy to give up these little things.
What the Westeros system has to do is receive and integrate.
Unknowingly, Chen Qing browsed through several documents again and wrote down one more thing in her memo.
About the Korean television industry.
If you want to develop film and television entertainment, a platform is essential. However, under South Korea’s current laws, foreign investment is prohibited from entering South Korea’s major wireless television stations. Moreover, Chen Qing can judge that even if South Korea needs to make great concessions at the economic level, as long as the South Korean government is not crazy, this ban cannot be easily lifted.
This requires finding a new approach.
After all, South Korea's main TV broadcast platforms are currently concentrated on the three core wireless stations KBS, MBC and SBS. If it cannot intervene in these platforms, it is simply unrealistic for the Westeros system to control South Korea's entertainment industry.
Based on the knowledge accumulated in related industries from working with her boss in recent years, Chen Qing quickly thought of a solution: separation of production and broadcasting.
Just do what comes to mind.
Chen Qing picked up her cell phone and directly dialed a consultant in a related field in South Korea. She skillfully switched to Korean and chatted with him for more than ten minutes, and quickly got a general idea.
Before the 1990s, South Korea's mainstream TV stations still implemented an integrated production and broadcasting strategy, so they could be described as complete monopolies. It was not until 1991, with the intervention of the South Korean government, that the major TV stations opened their doors slightly, but they still resisted passively. Until now, the proportion of external content of South Korea's major wireless stations is only about 10%.
This is just pure film and television music content.
If you include the news, current affairs and other sections of the TV station, it still amounts to less than 10%.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing thought for a moment and wrote down a number on her memo, 30%. This is the first phase goal that needs to be achieved before the end of the year. It can be imagined that the situation of TV stations in South Korea is different from that in China. There will be too much difference, so you can’t push too hard in a short period of time. 30% is enough to digest the Westeros system that you just broke into.
Later, Chen Qing added another point, achieving 50% within 5 years.
This should be considered the limit.
Moreover, in five years' time, even if wireless TV cannot enter the field, as Chen Qing also asked just now, cable TV will still be no problem. The Westeros system can completely support some cable TV networks in South Korea and create its own platform.
After finalizing the matter, Chen Qing wrote two more words on the memo: car.
Then I regretted crossing it out.
In Chen Qing's opinion, South Korea's automobile industry is also worth taking over. Even if it is not as good as Europe, the United States and Japan, it can still be far behind China.
However, according to the original words of his boss: After the new century, except for China, no other country in the world will have a traditional automobile industry worthy of investment.
Chen Qing had some doubts this time, as well as a strange sense of pride.
In any case, since her boss insisted on this attitude, Chen Qing had no choice but to give up. Moreover, she also realized another meaning in her boss's words.
The 'traditional automobile industry' in the West is not worth investing in after the new century. Does that mean that correspondingly, there is a 'non-traditional automobile industry' worth investing in
the answer should be confirmed.
Moreover, if flying cars are not too radical, Chen Qing feels that this non-traditional automobile industry should probably be electric vehicles.
I must ask this next time.
If this is the case, some layout can be done in advance now.
After being busy until late at night, Chen Qing got up early the next day. When having breakfast, she heard Jiang Shanwu say that Zhu Momo and Mo Wuling had left in a hurry. Chen Qing was a little funny again.
I couldn't help but think that it would be best for me to have this kind of majesty in front of my children in the future.
I'm scared to hear the news.
Tsk.
It feels quite fulfilling just thinking about it.
After breakfast, Chen Qing and some of her entourage rushed to the Wenyu River in the northeast of the capital. Here, in an area of thousands of acres adjacent to the airport expressway, several of the earliest high-end luxury residential complexes in the capital were built adjacent to each other.
However, from Chen Qing's point of view, it was really average.
Because this was the first batch of luxury housing projects to be tested in the early 1990s in Beijing, and there was no experience at all. In the five adjacent communities, various apartments and villas were built in a mixed manner, and they were also built in various styles and house types. To put it bluntly, Hodgepodge.
[Get cash red envelopes] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat and official account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
Although I don't like it, the problem is that there are really not many choices in China at this stage.
Therefore, in the past two years, the latest batch of luxury homes here have been opened one after another. Chen Qing purchased a large number of them at the command of her boss. She only bought three 11-story apartment buildings, plus large and small apartment buildings. More than 50 small single-family or townhouse villas cost a total of 200 million, and were even regarded as scammers by several developers.
After confirming that Chen Qing was not making fun of them, the big benefactor was immediately treated like a queen again.
At a time when China's real estate industry is in a downturn, many potential home buyers are also on the sidelines. Real estate consumption has been sluggish, and all real estate developers are tightening their belts to get by. Suddenly someone sent 200 million in cash, even if the discount required was a bit harsh. It’s a manifestation from God.
Ancestor!
Chen Qing had just gotten off the bus in front of an apartment building in Ligao Prince's Mansion, which is located in a neighborhood with the prefix "Li". A group of women came to greet her.
These are the leaders of the Wei family's attendant team who are responsible for the property in the area below.
Chen Qing smiled and greeted the leader, an elegant woman in uniform who was about 1.6 meters tall with her hair pulled up. She hugged her affectionately, but said in a non-serious manner: "Ah, the sun is so bright today, you don't even have a shadow." .”
Everyone laughed.
Because the woman's name is 'Lian Ying'.
In fact, Lian Ying, who was 31 years old and older than Chen Qing, had no choice but to let the girl in front of him take advantage of him before saying, "Mr. Chen, let's go in."
Chen Qing nodded, and while entering the apartment building, she looked at another short-haired girl who was over 1.7 meters tall and had a pair of single eyelids but sharp eyes standing behind Lian Ying: "Shuhua, you don't say hello when you see Sister Chen?"
The girl was called by Chen Qing, smiled shyly, and said softly: "Hello, Sister Chen."
"I'm just saying, you and Sister Ying's names should be changed. Your name is Liu Ying. Well, I think it's better to connect calligraphy and painting." Then he gestured to another girl with the same single eyelid in the crowd, Lian Ying said to his side: "Sister Ying, what do you think?"
"Mr. Chen, if you think it's good, you can change the name yourself."
"That's not okay. My dad will beat me if I change my name randomly."
Lian Ying: "..."
Have you considered my dad's feelings
Everyone laughed again.
After joking, when they came to the elevator door, Chen Qing said to the sisters with single eyelids very considerately: "You haven't seen each other for a while. Please stay down and talk. We can go up by ourselves."
A pair of sisters in the crowd agreed together and stayed obediently.
Liu Qinqi, Liu Shuhua, Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi are the same pair of sisters.
The difference is that sisters Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi are both from Kochi families, while the Liu sisters are from a small mountain village in Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi. The two sisters' father has no knowledge. He heard "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting" somewhere and thought it was quite popular. High-end, he named his two daughters.
The main reason why the two sisters attracted Chen Qing's attention was that they were both among the best female guards of the Wei family in China. This was because the mountain village where the sisters grew up had the habit of practicing martial arts for generations, and even women were no exception.
Because of their excellent physical condition, the two sisters, who were only one year apart, were selected to serve in the army at the age of 16 and 17 at the same time. They even reached the top ranks at one time. Chen Qing had personally seen either of the sisters in the training ground. The top laner did not fall behind in dealing with the equally top male bodyguards of the Westeros family one on one.
Chen Qing offered high salary and used contacts to recruit these sisters. Otherwise, they would be working as bodyguards for some upper-class female relatives now.
Originally, both sisters were left by Chen Qing to take charge of their own security. Because of the matter here, the younger sister was temporarily released.
The main reason is that a group of girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe will soon return to China to rehearse for next year's Spring Festival Gala. They are all the darlings of their boss, and Chen Qing does not dare to slack off. Because the big houses in the city can't accommodate too many people, as for those ordinary communities, Chen Qing, her boss, and even the girls from the now very visionary Chinese style art troupe don't like them, so they plan to arrange them here.
Although it is a suburb more than ten kilometers away from the city, it is conveniently located close to the airport expressway and can be reached in half an hour by car from the city center.
