It has been more than half a month since he entered this big house in Maoer Hutong, Nanluogu Lane. Jiang Yuanchi has quickly adapted to his new life.
There is no reason not to adapt.
The work is extremely simple, mainly cleaning. The seven girls enter the house five times according to the planned schedule, either on the veranda or once in the courtyard. It only takes two or three hours a day, exactly once a week.
Not only is it easy, but the pay is astonishingly high.
$1000 per month.
$1,000.
And it is settled directly in US dollars, so you can earn foreign exchange.
According to the current exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB, it is equivalent to 8,300 yuan. As the capital of China, the average annual salary of urban workers in Beijing is only about 750 yuan.
Yes, one month is equivalent to one year.
Therefore, even if they are outstanding in appearance and academic qualifications, it is difficult for them to feel inferior in their current job. How many people want to be humiliated like this but never have a chance. The contract signed is only for 5 years. If you work for 5 years and earn a salary equivalent to 50 years for an average person, you will be able to retire directly at that time.
What's more, the monthly salary of US$1,000 is just the most basic treatment.
Because there are also various benefits that are somewhat magical to say the least.
Covering food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After joining the company, Jiang Yuanchi first received a placement fee of US$5,000. This was the first time in his life that he had seen so much money.
Then, a large pile of custom-made clothing for each season, said to be all handmade, was flown in from Italy. There is also a monthly food subsidy of US$100 per person, and a dormitory apartment in a building near Chang'an Street, overlooking most of Beijing. They also have rooms in the courtyard, and they can freely choose between the two.
And, finally, two cars shared by seven people, although none of them knew how to drive and were still learning.
This is still not over.
There are also regular weekly beauty treatments.
The location is a beauty salon run by foreigners in the International Trade Center, and the price is staggeringly expensive.
Also, probably knowing that their job is too easy and they have a lot of free time, their employer also provides them with various optional training programs. Basically, well, they can learn whatever they want. She asked for help. The person in charge of this matter said in a joking tone, can you learn to fly a plane
The answer is, yes.
Can…
All right.
However, everyone chose to learn to drive first. After all, the two cars specially provided for them would be a waste if they did not drive them. Jiang Yuanchi also made the same choice.
In the end, he retained his student status at Peking University.
It doesn't matter whether you go to the lectures or not, as long as you take the exam every semester, you can get your degree. Jiang Yuanchi thinks that if you are willing, it shouldn't be difficult to get a degree even if you don't take the exam.
After all, this is...
It’s even more amazing when you think about it.
One inexplicable day, I was called here by my sister for no reason. Then, Miss Chen said bluntly that her sister had made a mistake and she could only use her to make up for it. Either she would choose to work here, or they would be kicked out together. Get out of this city.
At first, I was so scared that my legs were weak.
What happened
Jiang Yuanchi was very smart, but it was just the first time she was in the mansion that made her realize that what Miss Chen said was true.
The other party has this kind of strength completely.
Then, before she could even react, the other party had already arranged everything for her, leaving no room for resistance.
The only thing I strive for is to retain my student status.
Now, more than half a month has passed, and I suddenly realize that this matter is not important at all. In such a turbulent era, academic qualifications are really nothing.
Just like what Miss Chen said.
For a person, besides the destiny he is born with, the most important thing is opportunity. Anyone who can enter and work in this mansion is equivalent to getting the most precious opportunity in the world.
I didn't believe it at first.
Until, she finally figured out who she was serving.
Now that they have gotten this job, some things are not really secrets. It’s just that the people they come into contact with are very strict. They have also been reminded repeatedly that the most important thing about this job is to take care of themselves. mouth.
However, there were too many details for her to look up.
Among the seven girls in the mansion, she was the only one who expressed strong curiosity about this matter. After all, it was always a bit unwilling to be forced into this job suddenly.
So Jiang Yuanchi began to quietly explore the answer.
Of course, this job has a formal employment contract, but there is no clue about the employer who is obviously a shell company in the contract.
Then there is the mansion where they work.
A standard five-in-one courtyard with a garden of the same size next to it. Compared to many other houses in Nanluogu Alley that have become quite dilapidated or even turned into large courtyards, this house has been completely torn down and rebuilt in the past year, and it was based on the original materials. The mansion was originally planned to be rebuilt, making it more expensive.
So, what exactly is this place
There is a lot of information available on this point.
Initially, this was the residence of Wen Yu, an important minister during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Wen Yu was a bachelor of Wuyingdian in the Guangxu Dynasty. He was a first-class official and had great power. Celebrities with the same official title in the Qing Dynasty include the famous Nalan Mingzhu, Fukang'an, Zeng Guofan and others.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the great warlord Feng Guozhang, one of the Three Heroes of Beiyang, once lived here.
Then, during the Japanese-Puppet period, the owner of the mansion was changed to Zhang Lanfeng, the commander of the puppet army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was once the location of the North Korean Embassy in China, and later became the dormitory for family members of some important government agencies in the capital.
Until two years ago, the mansion changed hands again.
Moreover, it is a change of ownership with a garden-style garden attached to one side of the Wujin main residence. The total area exceeds 5,000 square meters, which is larger than many other famous historical celebrity residences in Nanluogu Lane.
In this city today, not many people can live in private houses of this size.
Because I can’t even buy it if I want to.
It is obvious that this private residence was specially approved by the state.
Who has the ability to ask the state to specially approve such a private residence
If you think about it carefully, it is probably at the level of the Cambodian King Sihanouk who you often hear when you are young.
However, he quickly rejected the head of state category.
Because such people can borrow similar residences from the state to live temporarily, but they often do not obtain ownership, let alone a private residence of this size.
If they are not important officials of the head of state and government, then, taking a step back, they are patriotic Chinese businessmen who have made great contributions to the development of the motherland over the years. Jiang Yuanchi once thought that they might be the Kuo family of Malaysia who built the International Trade Center.
This speculation was quickly denied.
Mainly because of the various things that happened around this mansion during this period.
In April, the blocks near the mansion began to restrict access, and even had a hint of martial law. Moreover, the surrounding streets and alleys not only began to be repaired and cleaned, but some residents were directly moved out, obviously in preparation for something.
Besides receiving the owner of this mansion, what else could be done
Jiang Yuanchi had only been at Peking University for more than half a year, and he happened to have also experienced receptions and visits from some famous Chinese businessmen.
China does indeed attach great importance to overseas Chinese businessmen. However, it is definitely not to the extent of closing large blocks under martial law in order to welcome the other party. This is a treatment that only the head of state can enjoy.
So I fell into a small blind corner of my mind.
Is there really such a person
Very rich and powerful
Until one recent night, while sitting in front of the personal computer provided by the mysterious employer in their dormitory, browsing the Internet, I saw a rumor on the Internet about a super-rich man whose net worth exceeded 1 trillion US dollars may publicly visit China, and suddenly reacted.
Simon Westeros!
Before entering college, Jiang Yuanchi was like a frog in a well.
After entering college, during this year, the girl really heard too many people around her talk about Simon Westeros.
This 28-year-old young man has risen dramatically in the past ten years. Starting from Hollywood, his first movie "Run Lola Run" achieved a global box office of more than 400 million US dollars. Then Daenerys Entertainment was established, which is now the most powerful media giant in the United States, with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars.
Not only that, the Westeros system also single-handedly contributed to the arrival of the Internet era.
Even in China, if you pay a little attention, you can find many things related to Simon Westeros.
The country has begun to focus on promoting the information industry.
The VCD industry has grown rapidly since last year.
A series of imported blockbusters that have been breaking domestic box office records for several consecutive years.
Etc., etc.
Someone's personal net worth of US$1 trillion exceeds China's GDP output value of US$730 billion in 1995.
Real wealth is beyond compare.
When the truth was completely revealed, Jiang Yuanchi no longer had any grudge against being forced into this job.
This is working for Simon Westeros.
Chen Qing and her party came to the capital again on April 12th.
Entering the big house in Mao'er Hutong, Nanluogu Lane, Chen Qing keenly noticed the change in a certain girl's attitude. After a long journey, she first chose to take a bath and asked the Jiang sisters to help her fill the bath water. After soaking in the big bathtub, she did not let them After leaving, he put his hand on the chin of Jiang Yuanchi who was called in front of him: "Do you understand?"
Jiang Yuanchi knelt on the edge of the large marble bathtub, raised his chin according to Chen Qing's strength, and showed a somewhat flattering smile: "Sister Chen, are those... all true?"
"What?"
"Just... A, B, C, D?"
Chen Qing took back her hand and nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true. They were all just maids beside Mr. Westeros at first, just like you. So, believe me now. If you get this job, you are equivalent to I got a super high starting point that no one else can achieve in ten lifetimes."
Jiang Yuanchi leaned forward slightly, lying on the edge of the bathtub quite charmingly. He looked at Chen Qing with his beautiful eyes and said, "It feels so amazing, it's hard to imagine."
Jiang Shanwu, who had already been informed of certain findings by his sister, also knelt down at the end of the bathtub. His eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quietly raised his ears to listen.
At first, I felt a little guilty for involving my sister. However, during this period, especially after realizing the identity of their clients, my mind completely changed.
My sister should thank herself.
When he met Chen Qing for the first time and heard her say those words in French, Jiang Shanwu's reaction was actually somewhat intentional.
I just wanted to attract some attention, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
Fortunately, the results are good.
After all, that is Simon Westeros.
It is absolutely easy for such a big shot to help her go abroad.
Since she was very young, Jiang Shanwu has longed to go abroad because of some experiences around her.
Therefore, I applied for Xi'an Foreign Languages University later.
When I first applied for this job, I was also preparing to go abroad, because the employer shown in the recruitment materials was a foreign company. There are many ways to go abroad in this era, and working in a foreign company is also the most important channel.
No matter what, I never expected that the person I served would be Simon Westeros.
It doesn’t even matter whether you go abroad or not.
After all, the current life is probably the living standard of those foreigners.
Thinking again of the four girls A, B, C, and D around Simon Westeros whom my sister just mentioned. Their net worth is tens of billions of dollars. Even if they are completely incomparable with Simon Westeros’ personal assets, It's jaw-dropping enough.
They are both waitresses, the two of them... Even 10 billion yuan will do.
One billion is enough.
Chen Qing, who was in the bathtub, noticed the light in the eyes of the two sisters, and felt as if she had met the same kind.
Ah.
They are probably the same kind.
These two sisters are weak and charming in appearance, but they are not much different from her in their hearts.
If she had discovered this in the past, Chen Qing might have tried every means to suppress the other party, but now, she no longer had such thoughts.
Because the stage around a certain man is big enough.
Since they are of the same kind, they are both smart enough and have similar personalities, and her current position is enough to suppress the two women, so she can take advantage of them. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Xiao suddenly missed her boss. She glanced at the two women beside her and Chen Qing raised her chin slightly: "Come in and wash with me."
…
When Chen Qing arrived in Beijing and began to make final preparations for Simon's trip to China, in the United States, the two-week North American Easter schedule ended on April 11.
The one that received the most attention was "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
The film earned US$8.87 million and US$9.41 million at the box office respectively during the two-week Easter period. It also achieved a slight decline of 6% in the Easter week. After 16 weeks of release, the cumulative box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" successfully exceeded US$650 million, reaching US$650.53 million.
The box office has accumulated to this point, and there is not much suspense about hitting the 700 million threshold locally.
Overseas, Batman Vs. has already become a phenomenon. Coupled with the aura of Oscar awards, the cumulative box office in the latest statistics has exceeded 960 million U.S. dollars, leaving only a small gap between 1 billion and 1 billion. The industry expects the film's The total overseas box office will probably be around US$1.2 billion.
700 million in North America and 1.2 billion overseas. The total global box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will eventually reach 1.9 billion US dollars.
In 1995, the total global box office worldwide was only US$17.6 billion, and it is expected to be between US$18 billion and US$19 billion in 1996.
Now, just one movie, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," accounts for 10% of the global box office, which shows the strength of the DC movie universe series.
There are many reasons why Batman v Superman has achieved such outstanding results, including the accumulation of popularity of DC superhero comics for more than half a century around the world, the continuous preparation of the DC movie universe in the past seven years, and the excellent quality of the film itself.
However, the number of 1.9 billion people worldwide still exceeds everyone’s expectations.
At first, many people thought that the only way to break the box office record of Batman v Superman was "Justice League", which will further gather superheroes in the future. As the film's global box office figures continue to break through, more and more people believe that even "Justice League" , it is very likely that we will not be able to achieve such amazing results again.
As for other types of films, it is even more difficult to reach the heights of Superman Vs.
On the other hand, the super-production war has finally entered the late stage of release, so it has not had much impact on the new films in the Easter schedule. Not only that, but the success of "Rush Hour" on Valentine's Day is also due to the fact that Super Batman Vs stimulated the movie market.
Batman v Superman successfully activated the film market, but it did not hinder the development of other films. As a result, Daenerys Entertainment's two new films for this Easter period, "Planet 2" and "The Haunting of the Morgue 2" have achieved the expected results. a box office success.
