After finalizing their affairs, the three women had just chatted a few words when Charlotte Brenita also walked in.
Another greeting.
Everything else was familiar. Brenita was a little surprised that Ren Jingxi appeared here. After saying hello, she also remembered one thing: "Ren, didn't you ask me about arranging my sister to enter an international school last time? Why? No follow-up?"
That happened a few months ago.
After the Ren family moved to Beijing, Ren Jingxi's younger brother Ren Jingzhi easily entered Peking University as a Beijing candidate this year.
Then there is the younger sister Ren Jingyan.
After her sophomore year of high school ended in the first half of the year, Ren Jingxi was thinking about arranging for her sister to study abroad directly after her senior year of high school. Anyway, she could still use a certain man's connections, and her sister was very good and had entered the top Ivy League school in the United States. It should not be a problem. At most, according to Western habits, it would be no problem to donate some money yourself.
If you want to study abroad, it is naturally best for you to study in an international school during your senior year of high school, mainly to learn foreign languages.
However, it didn't work out in the end.
Not only did Ren Jingxi try his best to manage it, but Ren's father also agreed. Ren Jingzhi also felt that it would be best for his sister to go directly to the United States to study, but in the end, his younger sister disagreed.
The reason is simple, Ren Xiaomei doesn't want to be separated from her family.
Ren Jingxi knew that his mother's unexpected death had a great impact on the originally happy family. Everyone just kept it in their hearts. With his sister's decision, Ren Jingxi probably understood her thoughts and did not force it. Anyway, with the good foundation she has laid now, and the outstanding efforts of her two siblings, as long as she continues step by step, the Ren family will definitely prosper.
At this time, Ren Jingxi heard Brenita ask, shook his head and said: "My sister hopes to finish her undergraduate degree in China before considering studying abroad. I'm so sorry, Charles, I forgot to tell you."
"Oh, of course it doesn't matter," Brenita smiled and shook her head, adding: "If you need help with anything, please feel free to contact me."
Ren Jingxi nodded, but remembered something and asked: "Char, how many international schools have you opened in China?"
"Five of them have been opened and seven more are under construction," Brenita replied, thanking the waitress who served her breakfast, and looked at Ren Jingxi again, noticing the girl's expression. Asked: "Are you interested in international schools?"
Ren Jingxi didn't hide it: "Yes."
The last time he inquired about this matter, Ren Jingxi was shocked when he learned that the basic tuition fee for an international school run by Brenita here in the capital was 200,000 yuan a year. Such a charging standard, even based on the 1,500 students of the school she knew about, would mean a school's annual revenue would be 300 million.
300 million!
Ren Jingxi does not deny that he is now a money addict and is very interested in any business that can make money.
Of course I took it seriously.
Brenita shook her head and said: "This industry is indeed very profitable. The five schools that I have opened have annual net profits between 30% and 50%. Even I didn't expect this. You Chinese are really too I attach great importance to education, and I am too persistent in going abroad. However, the issues involved are also very complicated. First of all, the Chinese government is very strict in the approval of this field. Secondly, I am actually cooperating with the Westeros system now. Expanding the layout of China's real estate industry, building a teaching team, and including supporting services for overseas study in the future. In short, if you want to do it, it is not impossible, but you must put down all your current work and devote yourself to it. Come in."
The net profit can reach 30% to 50%, and more than ten seats can be opened at a time. Ren Jingxi felt a little scratched when he heard this.
However, after hearing what Brenita said, she gave up the idea.
It's not about things like putting down the work at hand and focusing on it, nor about study abroad packages, government approvals, etc. As long as she works hard, she can always grind them out. The key is that it turns out that these international schools are supporting the layout of the Westeros system in the domestic real estate industry. In this case, if you look at the smiling Chen Qing next to you, you will definitely have no chance.
Chen Qing must be on guard against her.
Moreover, even if someone is contacted, Brenita cannot get involved after the foundation has been laid. This is not an entertainment industry that everyone can enter, and the professional requirements are indeed very strong.
Charlotte Brenita didn't know about the potential confrontation between Ren Jingxi and Chen Qing. Seeing her disappointment, she thought for a moment and said: "However, if you are really interested in the education industry, maybe you can try vocational training. This We are also doing this, but compared to international schools, the threshold is much lower and the market is very large."
Ren Jingxi nodded: "Then let me find out first."
In fact, Ren Jingxi also knew something about it. There was a well-known New Oriental in the capital, which mainly provided English training and had investments from the Westeros system behind it. However, she didn’t know the specific industry prospects or profit levels. It was like this across industries. It was not yet the age of advanced information. Unless they got involved, vested interest groups in a certain circle would definitely not risk it. publicly disclose this sensitive information.
Just like just now, Brenita obviously regards her as one of her own and knows that she cannot get involved, so she can say that the net profit level of international schools can reach such a high level of 30% to 50%. The outside world affirms this It’s hard to imagine, after all, education, subconsciously, many people think that something like cultivating people over a period of time, how can it be turned into a business to make money
But, it’s really profitable!
While chatting like this, Li Youhu also rushed over after getting up, followed by Jill Pecter and Zhao Anni, who had been managing several real estate projects such as the World Center.
The atmosphere became lively and everyone stopped talking about business.
After breakfast, Chen Qing was inevitably pulled by Li Youhu to talk about the "Chu and Han" trilogy. Her goal was also very clear, Yu Ji.
Chen Qing actually thinks that this girl was stereotyped by the characters in the first two movies "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", and is more suitable for a more arrogant and cruel character. As for Yu Ji, according to the script, she is a smart girl. A strong, heroic and passionate woman.
Moreover, it is best to be older.
Li Youhu is a little green.
However, of course Chen Qing would not directly veto it, and would still follow the instructions given to Jiangshan Wu yesterday and let Li Youhu go to the audition first.
After talking to Li Youhu, Chen Qing hurriedly left the mansion in Maoer Hutong and started her day's work.
First, we need to meet with the negotiation teams of Excellence and Lenovo to understand the results of the first contact between the two companies yesterday.
Lenovo has been listed in Hong Kong since 1994. Due to the rapid explosion of China's PC market in the past two years, coupled with the global recovery of technology stocks, Lenovo's stock price has also risen rapidly this year, and its market value has recently reached 31 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In the mainland market, Lenovo's market share is 21%, while Excellence's is 14%. Calculated proportionally, it is a full stock exchange merger personally determined by its own boss. The asking price requires about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars before the two parties can reach an agreement.
Therefore, when the two companies are added together, the transaction volume reaches HK$50 billion.
Although it is only over 6 billion US dollars, in mainland China, once the news is made public, this will also be the largest corporate merger and acquisition case since the reform and opening up, and it will inevitably cause a sensation.
Considering the terrifying impact that the two companies will have on the market after the merger, other manufacturers will definitely not be willing to accept it. Under the operation of all parties, whether they can obtain approval from the authorities will also be a problem.
This is something that both parties must consider.
Of course, everyone also has strategies to deal with this.
Very simple.
international tactics.
Chinese companies must not just limit their sights to the mainland. They must go global. But if they want to go global, they must have a certain scale. Moreover, they will also make some efforts in terms of scale. For example, the actual value of this merger and acquisition If the amount is converted into US dollars and exaggerated, it is only more than 6 billion, which is not enough to be a fraction of the market value of international giants such as IBM, so it cannot be said to be a monopoly.
In addition, you can also contact a group of writers to criticize the current market chaos in the mainland where every company has to launch a PC production line. This swarm has nothing to do with free competition. It is just a serious waste of social resources. Scale effect is king.
Furthermore, during this period, we must also make efforts to expand overseas. Of course, the focus is to promote the overseas expansion results of the two companies.
Let’s not talk about Lenovo. On Joyo’s side, Simon made a plan for Chen Qing last year to launch a chain of Internet cafes with 100,000 PCs in South Korea to give pacifiers to Korean young people who are largely unemployed. Things are progressing very smoothly, and related Internet cafe procurement PC, 70% of which comes from Joyo, alone contributed to Joyo’s overseas sales of 70,000 PCs.
Joyo has also set up a special Internet cafe business department for this purpose, which not only provides specialized models, but also develops Internet cafe management software, and even provides a complete set of solutions, from a mini Internet cafe with 10 machines to an Internet cafe chain with dozens of stores. Can provide a full set of one-stop services.
Because of cost and direct sales advantages, this part of the business is also booming, and it is even an important reason why Lenovo hopes to acquire Excellence.
All kinds of things.
In short, as long as Joyo and Lenovo can reach an agreement privately, other subsequent issues will not be a problem.
Including the 'international strategy' as a gimmick.
Backed by the Westeros system, it will be easy for the merged company to further expand overseas markets.
The other side.
After breakfast, Ren Jingxi also rushed to Huanzhu Film and Television Company early.
First, I met Father Ren who also arrived early.
The Ren family moved to Beijing. At first, Ren's father wanted to continue his career as a teacher, but he couldn't bear his daughter's pleas and finally decided to come and help.
Ren's father, who has been a Chinese language teacher for many years and is well-read, has a high level of literary literacy. When he participated in the revision of the script of "Returning the Pearl", it was definitely not the kind of simple polishing and icing on the cake. Therefore, the screenwriter of "Returning the Pearl" was a real person. Well deserved.
After entering the company, Ren Jingxi directly put her father in charge of the script department, which she attached great importance to, but he was only responsible for reviewing and revising the scripts.
Contract negotiations and other matters are still handled by professionals.
As for other aspects of the company, Ren Jingxi did not let his father interfere, and Ren's father had no intention of intervening. Both father and daughter lacked vision and understood that if the company wanted to grow bigger, it could not stick to a family workshop where everything was decided by themselves.
He didn't go home last night, and Ren's father didn't ask any questions.
Ren Jingxi confessed something about her relationship with someone, and also stated that the two had separated. Ren's father hoped that she could continue a new relationship, but he did not force it.
The father and daughter briefly communicated about several project scripts they were polishing recently, and then went about their business.
With Chen Qing's approval, Ren Jingxi came to his office and directly began to contact and prepare for the Huanzhu Film and Television Game Department.
The first was the copyright for the online game adaptation of "Dragon Movie" that she had spotted in advance, telling the team she sent to Hong Kong to take a step further.
Secondly, of course, poaching people.
It's easy for her.
Ren Jingxi had been quietly thinking about it for several months in advance. Ren Jingxi had targeted many of the manpower he needed in a series of network companies deployed in China in the Westeros system. He had also determined in advance that he would not poach them. The one that caused a backlash was that Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment in Suzhou was completely bypassed.
I don't want to leave any chance for a girl to get angry.
At eleven o'clock, after roughly arranging the game department's affairs, there was another marketing meeting about "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The series has already started airing, and Jinshu is not relaxed at all about the marketing of the project. After all, it also involves a series of follow-up benefits such as original soundtrack and overseas distribution. What's more, several of the main creators of "Sword and Fairy" are signed by Huanzhu Film and Television. Taking advantage of the popularity of the series now, giving them more exposure will only do a lot of good.
Ren Jingxi inevitably gets angry when talking about this.
Someone on the other side of the ocean got interested and immediately packed up the trio and flew them to North America. As a result, the heroine hurried back from the United States only two days before the premiere of "Sword and Fairy" on the four major TV stations.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Random guy.
Furthermore, even if he thought he was a very rational person, Ren Jingxi could not help but feel a little angry towards the trio.
Of course not talking about it.
Moreover, after all, she was registered by someone. As a working girl who helps him make money, what can she do to those girls
Nothing can be said about this kind of thing.
In this day and age, countless people in China wish they could swim directly to the other side of the ocean. What else can Ren Jingxi do
Huang Ama in Huanzhuli is a British national, which does not affect his popularity among the public.
no way.
We can only agree to keep this matter as private as possible.
In addition, Ren Jingxi also quietly considered that perhaps he should spend time cultivating some new people.
Of course it's not jealousy, she's not that boring.
All right.
There is indeed a little bit, but more importantly, influenced by "Returning the Pearl", and this time there is "Fairy Sword" that directly pushed the little maid to the top, the trio's hearts are really flying.
Just like recently, these days, the three of them are also eyeing the "Chu-Han" trilogy.
Obviously he hopes to develop into the film industry.
Ren Jingxi himself is also planning to make one or two movies next year, so this is okay.
The problem is that the three of them obviously have no intention of working hard and steadily with her. After all, they have a big backer. Even if they sign a contract, if someone speaks out, will she dare not let him go
