After processing the monthly summary information of various e-commerce companies in her hand, Chen Qing handed the folder to Jiang Shanwu beside her before getting off the car.
Go directly along the underground passage to the underground swimming pool in the east courtyard.
It was already late at night, but there was still someone here, but it was Charlotte Brenita. The Swiss girl was not afraid of the cold. She was wearing a sexy two-piece bikini and was swimming in the large swimming pool like a white mermaid. She also had artificial intelligence turned on. wave.
Chen Qing had no intention of exercising late at night, so she just took off her bathrobe and stepped into the hot spring pool nearby.
After a while, the sound of the waves stopped and Brenita came over. Chen Qing took the initiative to greet her and asked in Chinese: "Char, when did you arrive and you haven't rested so late?"
"Afternoon," Brenita also entered the hot spring swimming pool, leaned next to Chen Qing, and said in fluent Chinese as well: "Jet lag, can't sleep. Are you a workaholic, or have you just come back?"
Chen Qing joked: "Yes, we are all slaves of the boss. If we don't work hard, we will be whipped."
Charlotte Brenita motioned to the waitress next to her to untie her hair, and laughed as she said, "You just like to work crazy, don't drag me along."
Over the past few years, Charlotte Brenita and a group of Swiss capitals she has recruited have become an important shell of Simon's global layout. Following the expansion of the Westeros system, in addition to China, Latin America, Eastern Europe and even Africa, etc. Emerging markets are all covered.
Some time ago, Brenita personally rushed to Russia to participate in discussions with the Johnston Holdings team on the formation of an aluminum consortium, planning to integrate several major aluminum companies in Russia to form a large-scale aluminum industry giant. , once this company is completed, it is expected to occupy more than 90% of Russia's aluminum product production capacity, and its share of global aluminum production can also reach about 15%, which is very important.
The project is actually an extension of the Russian financial crisis a few months ago.
Many things were completely finalized after that crisis, and Simon took a certain expansionary stance and proactively laid out plans in Russia in order to show his "purposeful" side.
As for the project itself, it was Yeltsin who personally brokered it, because the boss of one of the aluminum companies that will be integrated this time is the Russian president’s nephew and son-in-law, the 28-year-old Oleg Deripaska, who later became the great emperor. One of the few oligarchs who can survive in Russia for a long time, of course, is obviously because of Yeltsin.
Yeltsin's own thoughts are also very clear. The introduction of foreign capital, especially the Westeros system, which plays an important role on a global scale, even if the development of some things in the future exceeds his expectations, this time is not only a direct binding of interests, but also an increase in the amount of capital. The possibility of Simon Shi's intervention can also save a fortune for the Yeltsin family to a large extent.
On Simon's side, after Yeltsin confirmed that he wanted to push someone to the top, he certainly had no problem.
What's more, not taking this benefit will make the Yeltsin family and even someone who has been speculating on his intentions uneasy.
In the hot spring pool.
Chen Qing waited patiently for the waitress to untie Brenita's hair, waved her hands to drive them away, and then asked: "How was this trip to Russia?"
"Everything went well," Brenita said, but couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "It's just that the situation of the general public in Russia is really bad."
Chen Qing has been to Eastern Europe several times in the past two years. She roughly understood it and answered cooperatively: "What's wrong?"
Brenita leaned against the small pool and murmured: "We spend most of our time in St. Petersburg, and it is planned that the headquarters of the Aluminum United Company will be located there. You know, it is already the coldest time of the year over there. It's the season, but every time you go out on the street, you can see long queues in front of banks, food stores or second-hand recycling stores. People are shivering with cold, and in the end they are just trying to get some basic food. In St. Petersburg's No. 1 Three days later, the heating in a neighborhood was turned off due to insufficient gas supply. The authorities publicly stated that seven people froze to death that night, and rumors actually revealed that there were even more. Another time, we were eating in a restaurant, and an old man stood outside the window. After waiting in the cold wind for more than ten minutes, I initially thought she was just waiting for someone. When the meal was about to end, the old man walked in and asked if we could pack the remaining food for her... "
When Brenita said this, she stopped talking.
Chen Qing waited for a moment and asked, "Did you give it?"
Brenita nodded slightly.
Chen Qing rubbed her silky arms carelessly and asked, "How does it feel?"
Brenita pondered for a moment and said: "They... are quite pitiful, and we are so lucky."
Chen Qing hummed, but her heart didn't actually fluctuate much.
"Actually, I visited the Soviet Union several times before it disintegrated," Brenita added after a moment: "Although the situation in the Soviet Union seemed equally difficult at that time, it was far better than it is now."
Chen Qing said: "I remember a saying that when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The current predicament in the former Soviet Union is their own choice."
Brenita thoughtfully said: "I seem to have heard it before, Chen, who said this?"
Chen Qing slightly curved her lips and said, "Lu Xun."
"Um?"
"My boss told me about it at first, and I asked who said it. He couldn't remember it, so he told me, if you can't remember who said a famous quote, it was said by Lu Xun."
"I know Lu Xun. When I was studying Chinese, I read one of his articles called "Diary of a Madman". I was very moved. This is a very famous critical writer in China..." Brenita said here, After a pause, he came to his senses and rolled his eyes at Chen Qing beside him: "What you just meant was that it wasn't Lu Xun who said that?"
Chen Qing said more seriously: "I checked specifically and found that this was a sentiment written by a Polish poet Stanislo Lake in an article. The original text is not like this, but the meaning is probably the same. Lake was a Jewish survivor of the World War II concentration camp. , when he was about to be executed, he killed the guards with the shovel used to dig his own grave and successfully escaped. This sentence is his reflection on the millions of victims who were slaughtered like sheep during World War II. "
Brenita nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't quite agree. Most people in this world are ordinary and they have no ability to change the world."
Chen Qing shrugged: "Then they can only beg the world to be kind to them, or pray to live in a stable and prosperous country. Otherwise, well, have you paid attention to the recent Kosovo border conflict?"
Brenita shook her head.
Chen Qingdao: "A group of the KLA consisting of seven British and American military advisers was attacked by Serb forces while transporting supplies. The fighting also spread to a nearby village. Because heavy weapons and air support were used, it was a chaotic battle. , the two armies, together with the affected villagers, men, women, old and children, a total of 116 people died."
When Brenita heard what Chen Qing said, she couldn't help but hold her hands in front of her: "Oh, damn war."
Chen Qing glanced at her: "This is actually not the point I want to say."
Brenita looked over suspiciously.
Chen Qingdao: "In the past few days, many newspapers have been reporting on this conflict. However, the focus is on the seven British and American military advisers who were unfortunately killed in the conflict. The names of each of them, the resumes of each of them, and the names of their remaining family members. How sad, so many things. Clinton also expressed a minute of silence at the White House press conference yesterday and vowed to avenge them."
Brenita blinked and asked subconsciously: "Is there something wrong with this?"
Chen Qing glanced at her again and suddenly smiled: "Of course there is nothing wrong, I am just a little emotional. Look, in the eyes of your Western media, only 7 people died in such a conflict, and the other 109 locals in Kosovo , no matter which party it is, just like ants, even a two-year-old child, only half of his body is left after being blown up by a bomb, his eyes are wide open, and he probably will not understand what he did wrong until he dies, but, he dies. They are dead, they have no names, no one mourns them, and no one wants to avenge them, they are just ants, if they are trampled to death, they are dead."
Brenita opened her mouth, then fell silent.
Chen Qing leaned against the bathtub again, and was silent for a moment, with strong determination in her tone: "So, I was thinking at that time, I will never become an ant, I want to be the kind of person who can hurt even a hair , the kind of person who wants everyone around him to look at him with concern.”
Brenita remained speechless.
Neither of them spoke much after that. They took a bath and went to rest.
Chen Qing still got up early the next day. After exercising, she went to the pavilion on the small pond in the garden next door to have breakfast. It was seven o'clock in the morning. She thought that no other lazy girls in the yard would show up. As soon as she moved her chopsticks, two Two women walked over together, Mo Wuling, Zhu Momo's aunt, and Ren Jingxi, who surprised Chen Qing.
After greeting him, he signaled the two of them to sit down and asked the waitress to serve them breakfast. Then Chen Qing asked Ren Jingxi, "Did you stay here last night?"
"Yes," Ren Jingxi nodded, not hiding it: "I knew you were going back to China, so I came here specially, but you didn't come back until 10 o'clock, so I had to go to bed first."
Chen Qing was also direct and asked: "What's the matter?"
Ren Jingxi was more direct: "I also want to play games."
Chen Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes: ""Sword of Immortal" has been so popular recently, haven't you made enough?"
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" received a strong response after its regional trial broadcast last month. Four provincial satellite TV stations quickly jointly won the broadcast rights, and even the second round of screenings has been finalized.
It was launched at the beginning of the month. In less than two weeks, the average provincial ratings of the four satellite TV stations have exceeded 50%, and the momentum is even stronger than last year's "Huan Zhuge Ge".
Connectedly, because the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms also appeared in the series and the stone from my boss with the words "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", just over the weekend, even though it is definitely not the peach blossom season, tourists at Jinshu Film and Television City still turned around. Several times, and a certain stone was rubbed too much by being stroked and photographed, and the eight characters even began to lose color.
Including the original soundtrack, which was also developed by Ren Jingxi this time, for a project, even if it is not as fussy as last year, Huanzhu Film and Television is still expected to make a net profit of no less than 60 million.
This does not include the follow-up "Legend of Sword and Fairy OL" online game.
Because that game used the storyline of the TV series, after some negotiation, Ren Jingxi received a fixed 10% revenue share of the future project with a copyright stake and an investment of 5 million.
With the current popularity of the TV series "Sword and Sword", if this game is launched in the future, the most conservative estimate is that the turnover will not be less than 100 million, which is enough to easily double the investment income of Huanzhu Film and Television, not to mention, based on the current domestic Regarding the revenue of several online role-playing online games, as long as "Sword of Sword OL" can be done well, it will not only earn 100 million, ten times or even dozens of times is not impossible.
Moreover, this does not include overseas markets.
Well, the TV series of "Sword and Sword" has also not been distributed overseas.
All in all, in Chen Qing's opinion, the current Ren Jingxi is extremely fat.
If it weren't for the fact that Huanzhu Film and Television still held the majority of the Westeros system's shares, Chen Qing would definitely take action. He couldn't let this woman take advantage of his boss.
Ren Jingxi was of course aware of Chen Qing's prejudice against him, but he also knew that as long as he did not go out of his way, Chen Qing would not do anything to him rashly and would just discuss the matter as it happened. Chen Qing rolled her eyes at her, but continued: "I want to make an online game called "Tian Long Ba Bu", and I have already talked with Mr. Cha's agent in private."
Ren Jingxi is still one of the producers of the mainland drama version of "Dragon Knight". Chen Qing was not surprised when she said this. He could even imagine that the routine would be the same as that of "Sword and Fairy", and the mainland version would definitely be used this time. The plot of this version of the TV series. After all, with the investment in this drama and the quality of the samples that have been shot, it will definitely become a phenomenon-level hit next summer.
Thinking quickly in her mind, Chen Qing asked: "You don't plan to develop and operate it yourself, do you?"
Ren Jingxi shook his head: "The operation can be given to Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment. According to the industry sharing rules, I will only take 30% of the turnover. However, I will do the overseas distribution myself."
This is acceptable.
Chen Qing thought about it, then pretended to ponder for a moment, and said: "You don't have many channels overseas. It is better to work with Suzhou as an agent. The fee can be negotiated."
Ren Jingxi shook his head again: "In the past two years, I have also discovered that the film and television industry has too many restrictions in the mainland. I plan to expand into other areas. Games are one of them. If it is possible in the future, I will definitely operate it myself." , the same is true overseas. If I don’t do it, I will never have the resources. "Dragon" is an opportunity. Mr. Cha's martial arts is also very famous in Southeast Asia, including the West, so it is not impossible to give it a try. "
Anyway, they were working for their own boss, and this woman no longer posed much of a threat to her in terms of gender. Chen Qing did not mean to restrict Ren Jingxi too much, but just said: "If you insist, I won't give you too much." Please help.”
Seeing Chen Qing relent, Ren Jingxi just nodded: "I insist."
Actually, what Ren Jingxi wants is not Chen Qing's help. As long as this girl doesn't cause trouble for him, that's enough.
