Chen Qing arrived in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, one day ahead of schedule on August 9. The next day, Clinton arrived with a massive team of 2,000 people, instantly putting this city that had been ignored by the global mainstream public opinion circle for many years into the spotlight. .
Three day visit schedule.
Chen Qing participated in the whole process. However, because the schedule was determined in advance and broken down into every hour, and most of it was an official process where you come and go, it was a bit lackluster.
In the final analysis, there are only two words at the core of this visit: economy and trade.
One of the things that attracted the most attention from the outside world was that the heads of state of the United States and Vietnam personally signed the U.S.-Vietnam bilateral trade agreement, which took the relationship between the two countries forward a big step forward after the normalization of diplomatic relations.
In addition, there are a series of specific economic and trade agreements.
In just three days, delegations from all parties, including companies brought by Chen Qing from South Korea, signed a huge investment agreement with Vietnam totaling US$2.6 billion.
You know, Vietnam’s full-year GDP in the previous year was only US$28.6 billion.
So it can definitely be considered a super gift package.
It is worth mentioning that among these, related investments from the Westeros system directly accounted for US$1.7 billion, and many others were finally reached under the coordination of the Westeros system.
Therefore, as a representative of the Westeros system, James Raybould, president of the Westeros Company, is actually more popular than Clinton. Chen Qing and Chang Chang are also key figures in the Westeros system in Asia. Shen’s neighbor, who has had many contacts with the Vietnamese authorities in Southeast Asia, has also become a guest of Vietnam.
After all, Clinton brought a team of 2,000 people and a large number of business representatives, including Boeing, General Electric, Coca-Cola, etc., all they wanted to do was to open up the Vietnamese market, but they were unwilling to give too many benefits. As for the Westeros system, But it is real money and silver, which can make a judgment.
When the three-day visit ended and Clinton left, James, Chen Qing, Shen Lin and others stayed to discuss more investment details, and then left Hanoi and went south to Ho Chi Minh City for an inspection.
I finally left Vietnam on Friday, August 18th.
James Raybould returned to the United States, while Shen Lin continued to stay in Southeast Asia. Chen Qing flew to China first and only stayed in Shanghai for two days to deal with some matters here before setting off again, also flying to North America.
The previous August 18th was the fifth birthday of the twins Snow and Greenwich. Sophia, the biological mother, came to Los Angeles. At the same time as the birthday party, they also spent a happy weekend together at the Dume Point Manor. Simon left on Monday. Rush to the east coast.
He happened to arrive at about the same time as Chen Qing.
East Hampton, Long Island.
In the evening, Chen Qing took a car to a mansion near the sea in the southwest of the small town.
The maid led Chen Qing to a living room. Before she even entered the door, she heard a woman sobbing, obviously pleading, blah blah blah.
After waving the waitress to leave, Chen Qing entered the living room and saw Yu Caisang throwing herself on her boss's lap, saying something sadly. Next to her sat Yu Zhijin, who was helpless towards his sister.
Seeing Chen Qing come in, Simon made a gesture with his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab the chin of the woman in front of him, and raised his beautiful face with tearful eyes: "Don't cry anymore, no matter what you do, you are mine, of course I let you You do what you do. As for your two sons, Southeast Asia is the best destination for them. I have told you that when they reach the age of 35, if they want to clear their names, they can go ashore and live an ordinary life again. OK, I will count one, two, three, and then cry again. I will send them back to the military prison and follow the normal procedures. You must know that the United States still has the death penalty. "
Simon only counted one number, probably because he heard the word 'death penalty'. Yu Zhijin, who was sobbing just now, immediately stopped crying, but still looked up at the man in front of him pitifully.
Seeing that the woman had finally calmed down, Simon stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears. He looked at the beautiful face in front of him with almost no traces of time. He could only sigh at the wonder of creation. He held it up to his eyes, lowered his head and kissed her, and said: "Originally I’m really looking forward to tonight, but you’ve turned me off.”
Yu Zhijin sobbed, and quickly held it back. Hearing this, he immediately said to please: "Simon, I have prepared the ingredients to make food for you."
"Okay, go ahead," Simon said, pulling up the woman who had been lying on the carpet at his feet, ignoring her still pleading expression, and said, "If it doesn't taste good, I will punish you."
After saying that, he gestured to Yu Caimulberry next to him: "You can go too, Xiaoqing and I will chat for a while."
Chen Qing watched silently and understood what was going on after just a few words.
They are still the two precious sons of Yu Zhijin.
Some time ago, he died shortly after being sent to the recruit camp by his boss. Now, it seems that he was sent to Southeast Asia. It is appropriate to think about it. Cao Minyuan, who was personally selected by Chen Qing, is now quite popular in Southeast Asia. The water is rising.
After the sisters left, Chen Qing was too lazy to mention these trivial matters. Instead, she looked at the backs of the Yu sisters until they disappeared, then looked back, turned to her boss, and said with a smile: "It looks like it still has a few years of shelf life."
It is not uncommon for a woman to have a good appearance due to her innate good embryo and careful maintenance the day after tomorrow.
Simon did not discuss this issue with the girl next to him. He crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa. He picked up a fashion magazine and asked, "How did you feel about going to Vietnam some time ago?"
The man's tone was not very formal, so Chen Qing laughed and stood up and sat next to her boss, but she still said along the lines: "It feels like China was like more than ten years ago. The boss also knows that Vietnam is also part of the Chinese cultural circle. , even though de-Chineseization has been going on in recent decades, some things still cannot be changed at all. Walking on the streets of Hanoi is no different from walking on the streets of some cities in China."
Simon nodded slightly.
Chen Qing thought for a moment and continued: "But, boss, I don't think we should have high expectations for Vietnam."
Simon glanced sideways: "Huh?"
Chen Qingdao: "Vietnam's reform and opening up was much later than China's. Not surprisingly, it will not be able to officially shift from a planned economy to a market economy until next year. There are too many variables in the future. As for Southeast Asia, it is better to focus more on Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. On the country."
Simon nodded.
If I didn't have the advantage of foresight, my view of Vietnam would probably be the same as Chen Qing's, with too many variables.
However, on the other hand, Simon did not agree with Nizi's point of view: "Vietnam is just an egg. Just like you said about Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, what we have to do is to treat everyone equally and try to give adequate care. We can't do it just because of a certain egg." If the chance of hatching chicks is small, just give up.”
Chen Qing pecked at the rice: "The boss is right, I am narrow-minded."
Seeing the cute look of the girl next to him, Simon couldn't help but grab her cheek and get close to kiss her.
Chen Qing kissed her boss cooperatively, but after they separated, she felt disgusted: "Boss, you just kissed someone else, and then you kissed me again."
Simon just patted the small waist of the coquettish girl next to him and casually turned a page of the fashion magazine on his lap.
After Chen Qing finished speaking, she paused, but still didn't mention a certain topic.
Simon noticed her expression, and of course he understood.
Or turn to business in Southeast Asia.
In fact, there is nothing to avoid about this matter for the girls around you. After all, it is still important not to put all your eggs in one basket. Moreover, if possible, Simon certainly hopes that the 'chicken' will hatch in the future and be more controlled by the Westeros system.
It is definitely impossible for China.
Too big.
Just like later, some people always said that the rise of Vietnam poses a threat to China, blah blah blah.
Simon just thought this argument was quite senseless.
17 trillion vs. 0.27 trillion, a gap of 60 times. How can a cauliflower snake meet a giant python? How to threaten it
Of course, then was then and now is now. Because of Simon's variable, plans are currently underway to quietly cultivate a large group of cauliflower snakes. No one knows what the future holds for the time being.
After a short pause, Chen Qing skillfully changed the subject: "Boss, why don't we change places? This time I come here and bring you a lot of gifts."
Simon probably understood what the gift from Nizi beside him was, and asked casually: "Is there anything special about it?"
Chen Qing suddenly stopped again.
After thinking about it, I said that compared with the current 'features' here, there is really nothing to do.
In the end I could only say: "Boss, it's so fresh."
Simon shook his head: "My skills in picking mulberries and weaving tapestry are good. Let's have dinner here."
Chen Qing followed her lead and took a few glances at the bazaar on her boss's lap, and then said: "Boss, the domestic version of this magazine has developed quite well in recent years. When will you pay attention to it?"
Simon nodded: "Those who are paying attention are indeed doing well."
And more than a little attention.
Mainly because I remembered that a strong woman without wearing long johns was as powerful as before, so I paid special attention to her several times. It can only be said that the inertia of history is quite strong.
In addition, even a fashion magazine is actually a forum for public opinion.
Of course Simon couldn't ignore it.
After chatting for a while, Simon also casually mentioned a certain celebrity charity dinner that will be launched in a few years. After all, just like Met Gala here in the United States, the event will not only be a social platform in the future, but also some kind of charity dinner. To a certain extent, it is actually also a right to speak.
Just like Met Gala, if there is no dimensional suppression like Simon, if you want to participate, you have to have a good relationship with Anna Wintour, thus becoming a source of power for a certain fashion devil.
Chen Qing was very inspired and said that she would let them implement it as soon as possible.
The topic then turned to Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, which was released last Friday.
A few days ago, on the day Simon planned to watch the sample film, he was accidentally interrupted by a small incident, but then he still watched the film in person. Then, like everyone else, I am quite confident that this documentary will get another good score.
To put it simply, it is obvious that a lot of thought was put into it. As the leader of this project, Yu Xiaomin has very good control over the rhythm of the documentary. Whether it is a panoramic introduction to the Grand Canyon through aerial photography, or the eye-catching plot brought by the participation of well-known model Jiang Mi, or even the various experiences of the expedition members when crossing the canyon, the 90-minute film basically follows the creative model of commercial movies , on average, in less than five minutes, an emotional point that stimulates the audience's senses will appear.
Therefore, although it is said to be a documentary, it is actually an interesting adventure story.
Simon did not ask in detail, but it is conceivable that many of the plots should be deliberately set up, but these plot settings did not affect the reality of the documentary itself, and the scale was quite good.
In addition, with reference to last year's Everest's Summer Flowers, this time the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon adopted a completely original theme song for this time and space, called Blooming. The connotation is somewhat different from that of Summer Flowers, but it is also completely It's novel. If Simon scored it personally, he would give this song a 9.9-point classic level, like Life Like Summer Flowers.
In short, the quality of the documentary itself is excellent, as well as the popularity foundation of Mount Everest last year and Daenerys’ many years of experience in publicity and distribution in the documentary field. Even though the audience’s taste is always unpredictable, Simon does not think that the performance of this documentary will be any worse. .
After watching the sample film, the only problem Simon found was that the release of Brahmaputra Grand Canyon in North America was not as strong as last year's Mount Everest.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Daenerys did not lead the production of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. Even though she also participated in the investment, the majority of it belonged to a group of investors from China, so it can be regarded as the difference between a biological son and a godson.
Simon's explanation for this is that Gaomen Pictures can consider expanding the scale of the film's screening after its first week.
After all, no matter what, as long as a movie's performance is good enough, it can still get the follow-up treatment it deserves.
The end result was also expected.
Although the scale of the mini-premiere, which can only be regarded as a symbolic one, is much smaller than before, the word-of-mouth ban was lifted, and the comprehensive media score of the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon jumped to 9.5 points, a classic level in film history.
The painting opened last Friday, August 18th.
In the three days of its first weekend, Brahmaputra Grand Canyon did not disappoint. With a total of 1,102 opening screens, it won a box office of 13.46 million US dollars. It easily achieved a sales level of over 10,000 in the opening weekend. It is expected that Revenue in the first seven days will reach approximately US$20 million.
Documentaries usually have long-term properties.
It can earn 20 million US dollars at the beginning. With Daenerys following up in time and increasing publicity and distribution, even if it is not as dark horse as Everest last year, it will be easy to break through 60 million at the North American box office, and even 80 million or even higher is not impossible.
The total production and promotion costs are only 6.6 million U.S. dollars. Even if the revenue is only 60 million, it is a box office return ratio of nearly 10 times. It is definitely a bright spot at the end of Hollywood's summer season. It is conceivable that with the performance in North America, it is only a matter of time before the global box office of Brahmaputra Grand Canyon reaches over 100 million US dollars.
In short, even though Simon himself was quite confident before, he only thought that this new documentary, which was betting on the popularity of last year's Mount Everest, would reach the North American box office of US$50 million. He did not expect that the minimum guarantee would be US$60 million.
Because the results are so outstanding, everyone in the industry, including Daenerys herself, is already thinking about what other scenic spots in China can make similar documentaries after this time.
