Hollywood Hunter

The next morning, at the Beijing Chengnan Railway Station near the Temple of Heaven Park, Zhu Momo, who didn't go to the acting class today, held up a sign with his aunt Mo Wuling's name on it. In the crowd of people leaving the station, I noticed another tall and eye-catching woman figure, and hurriedly brought Jill Peckert and Annie Zhao to greet her.

Coming to the front, Zhu Momo showed a charming smile on his face. He opened his arms to hug the woman wearing a black jacket and tight pencil pants in front of him, but the other side opened his small paws and covered his face: "I'm going to pick up a new student recently, you know me How busy are you? Pack up, go to Tianjin with me first, and then what my sister thinks is your own business. "

Obviously it's not the first time that Zhu Momo, who has seen his aunt's tone of voice, has no guilt at all. He leaned forward and grabbed the other's arm and said, "Auntie, listen to my explanation."

"If you have the ability to lie to your mother, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. I don't want to listen to the truth."

Mo Wuling said, but he didn't shake Zhu Momo away, and couldn't help but look at Jill Peckert and Zhao Anni, who were obviously coming with Zhu Momo.

Jill and Annie Zhao also looked at a woman who was also 1.8 meters tall and had a similar temperament to Zhu Momo. Jill first reached out and greeted in Chinese, "Hello, Miss Mo, this is my name. Jill, Momo's assistant."

Mo Wuling listened to Jill's self-introduction with an obvious accent, and his eyes became more and more puzzled. He still reached out to say hello: "I'm Mo Wuling, Momo's aunt."

Then shook hands with Zhao Anni again.

The four of them were talking, and almost all the people around the station exit looked towards this side. Two tall women, a blond babes, even Zhao Annie, whose clothes and temperament were obviously different from those around them, said aptly, It stands out from the crowd, or four eye-catching white cranes.

Zhu Momo felt the attention of the people around him and looked at him. Although he wasn't in stage fright, he said, "Auntie, let's leave first, the car is outside."

Mo Wuling didn't object. The four of them left the station and saw a Mercedes-Benz S with Zhao Anni pulling the door in person. Mo Wuling, who roughly knew the price of this luxury car, frowned slightly, and was even more puzzled. After getting on the bus and leaving the train station area, Mo Wuling, who was sitting in the back seat, finally asked his niece, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhu Momo still held his aunt's arm like a little girl and said, "I told my mother on the phone some time ago that I have a rich boyfriend."

"Oh," Mo Wuling nodded, noncommittal, the eldest sister suddenly called her to come and grab this niece, and the rest, except that Zhu Momo went to the United States as a finalist in the Elite Model Contest a few months ago, she didn't know more , so he asked: "Then why did you come back from the United States and lie to your mother?"

"I...I'm sorry," Zhu Momo pretended to be shy: "I told my mother last time that I was training in the United States, but I came back all of a sudden. It's very shameless."

Mo Wuling was keenly aware of the logical conflict, and said directly, "Lie."

"I do not have it……"

"I don't listen to your nonsense," Mo Wuling interrupted Zhu Momo's words and said, "Today is Monday, and I only took a morning off. Later, I will either let me meet your so-called boyfriend, or Just follow me to Tianjin."

In the front row of the car, the two girls, Jill, listened to the conversation between Zhu Momo and Zhu Momo in the back row, and invariably felt that Zhu Momo's aunt must be very similar to the mother the girl often said, especially in terms of personality.

This is really too strong.

Then I became a little curious, and even looked forward to it, not knowing how the other party would react after knowing some inside information.

Along the way, Mo Wuling listened to Zhu Momo's chatter about his experiences in the past few months, and didn't say any more, until he came to the courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong, feeling the narrow and cramped alleys around, Mo Wuling couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhu Momo noticed his aunt's expression, and couldn't help but Bala: "Auntie, don't look so crowded outside, it's big inside, and this block is also very famous, Lao Jiang, Mao Dun, Hong Chengchou, and that one. , the last queen, all lived here. Even this mansion has a lot of history. It was originally the mansion of a senior scholar of the Qing Dynasty. Later, the great warlord Feng Guozhang of the Republic of China also lived here. That's the one, um …”

Zhao Anni watched Zhu Xuezhu start stammering, so she had to add: "Feng Guozhang, the three heroes of Beiyang, the leader of the direct warlords, once served as the vice president of the Republic of China."

Wish Momo's chicken pecking rice: "yes."

Said that he had already entered the door, but just as he crossed the front door to bypass the screen wall and entered the front yard, he was stopped by two uniformed female guards who appeared out of nowhere, and one of them looked directly at Zhu Momo: "I wish Miss, you should understand the rules in the yard, you can't bring any outsiders in without permission."

Mo Wuling looked at the two girls with a bit of military aura in front of him, and didn't interrupt.

Zhu Momo, who felt a little ashamed, was already anxious: "this is my aunt."

The female guard looked at Mo Wuling and said, "You can call Miss Chen immediately, otherwise...Miss Zhu, please don't embarrass us."

This means, let alone my aunt, even if my mother comes over, she will not be able to enter the yard.

again!

Zhu Momo remembered that she was reprimanded by Chen Qing for returning late last night, and this situation happened again today. Well, in fact... She also knew the rules, but she just wanted to deal with this matter quietly, so she didn't say hello to Chen Qing.

After a little tangled, I was justified in the end, so I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and dialed Chen Qing's number.

ok, over there

I didn't make things difficult, I probably said a few words, and I got permission. The female guard who was blocking the road confirmed with Chen Qing in person, then nodded and put it down, turned around and went back to a room facing the street next to her. Mo Wuling was pulled by her niece and stepped into the hanging flower door. She turned her head and glanced at it. The place where the servants lived was changed to the guard's duty room, and Mo Wuling also saw the monitoring screen.

So it got weirder.

I wish Momo was a little heartless in his temperament. The main reason is that if it is not like this, facing his mother from childhood to adulthood, he may go crazy, so he forgot the unhappiness when he entered the door, and continued to lead his aunt into the interior. I came to my room, sat down with my aunt, and poured tea and water diligently, while saying: "How about it, it's big here, in fact, it's only half of it, the garden next door is as big as this one, auntie, you Take a break first, and I'll take you to see it later."

Mo Wuling was noncommittal, and said to Jill: "You two, can I talk to Momo alone?"

The two Jills, who had followed the door to help the reception, nodded and turned to leave.

When the two of them closed the door, Mo Wuling looked directly at Zhu Momo and said, "Momo, are you being taken care of?"

"what……"

Zhu Momo was stunned and almost threw the expensive and famous Ru kiln celadon teacup out of his hand.

Is this... too direct?

Seeing her niece's reaction, Mo Wuling got up, walked to the phone in the corner of the living room, picked it up and started dialing.

Zhu Momo finally reacted and put down the cup quickly and walked forward, but he raised his little hand and didn't know what to do, so he asked knowingly, "Auntie, who are you calling?"

"Your mother," Mo Wuling said bluntly, "I can't handle this kind of thing, let your mother come and snatch you back."

"Don't, Auntie, let's..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone was already connected, and he noticed that his mother's voice was faintly coming from the microphone. Zhu Momo felt like crying but no tears, and his temperament was instantly sluggish, like a kitten in a rainstorm.

...

Xidan, Beijing, hung up the phone, and Chen Qing went to Jinshu Media President Luo Gu and China Film executives again. They were in a newly completed building near Xidan Mall, which was very popular in the 1990s.

The location of the first multiplex cinema on the Jinshu Cinema Line is determined to be here.

According to the plan, the multi-hall theater, tentatively named China Film Jinshu Cinema, will occupy the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of this 12-story comprehensive commercial building. The first five-star multiplex cinema, of course, at this stage in China, there is no relevant rating for the cinema, this is just a publicity stunt in the future.

As for the shareholding, the Jinshu Cinema Line only holds 35% of the shares of the China Film Jinshu Studios, and does not require the official permission of the highest 49%. In addition, China Film occupies 30%, and the owner of the building property owns the other 35%. . Moreover, this building is owned by a company in Beijing and a Hong Kong investor. On the contrary, they hold 50% of the shares. Therefore, half of the last 35% of the shares are also considered state-owned.

Very complicated ownership relationship.

However, although the Westeros system has made concessions in equity, it actually has more layouts.

The first is the three-story property of the building.

Through a company in Hong Kong, the Westeros system invested 55 million yuan to buy the ownership of the property, because both the state-owned and Hong Kong investors are eager to get back the funds, and to build a cinema, it is necessary to pay attention to the three-story property. The internal structure has undergone major changes, and it is also not easy to do other things in the future. In order to control the risks, and immediately return a large amount of funds, this business can be said to be a hit.

After getting 55 million yuan, the building property turned to use part of the money to invest in this studio with a budget of 20 million yuan, and invested 7 million yuan.

As a property owner, the Westeros shell company sublease the three-story property to the studio project, which is considered a long-term investment and some kind of invisible control over the theater.

In addition, of course, there is also the meaning of investment. The development cost of this 12-story building is 180 million. Simon's price of the property is only 20% higher than the cost. Another situation has also been avoided, that is, with the continuous increase of real estate prices in China, the studio has been reduced to a situation of working for the landlord.

At that time, the three shareholders will still work for Simon.

On the bright side, the Jinshu Cinema Line has made great concessions in terms of shareholding, and in exchange, has also obtained the right to operate the studio.

Even including the name.

China Film originally hoped that the name of the company would be 'China Film Jinshu Cinema Line', also because of the initiative of the Jinshu Cinema Line, and as the country began to promote the reform of the theater chain system, in addition to this cooperation, China Film itself also intends to set up a theater. Line companies, this is why they did not force their way in.

As for the Jinshu Cinema Line, there are actually only two projects under development.

There is one in Beijing Xidan, and the other is in Shanghai. It is roughly the same model. It holds a small amount of shares, buys out the property, and obtains the right to operate. In fact, what Simon wants to do most is the later model of Wanda Studios, self-built properties, and blooming nationwide. However, the later theater chains such as Wanda and Jinyi, even if they were very successful, were actually only special cases. Most of the theaters in China were still mainly leased and transformed.

In fact, the Westeros system also has plans to build its own studio. For example, the planned Levison International Center will also reserve space for the studio.

This is actually the other reason why Simon chose Beijing's first cinema in Xidan, not Wangfujing in the east of the Forbidden City, so as to avoid internal competition. Do not

However, the problem is that the Levison International Center project has a long cycle, including the planned commercial center project that will also be rolled out across the country, and it cannot be completed overnight.

Therefore, there must also be a choice for the Jinshu Cinema Line.

In the plan, after the success of the two pilot cinemas, the Jinshu Cinema Line will be rolled out across the country. It is planned to build at least 20 luxury cinemas in major cities in China before 2000, and truly form a national chain of 'Jin Shu Cinema Line'. .

After discussing the planning of China Film Jinshu Studios with the project team in the morning, and having a meal together at noon, Chen Qing rushed to the Beijing data center project site on the Chaobai River in the northeastern suburbs of Beijing in the afternoon.

After the project was finalized in April, under the green light all the way, the main building of the data center here has already started construction. It is expected to be completed before the end of the year, and the installation of internal equipment will begin.

After Lin Su attended a seminar on the information industry by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications last Friday, although the official policy measures have not yet been released, several important domestic newspapers have begun to publish in recent days, and the telecommunications enterprises under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will increase the Internet infrastructure again. Facility investment has greatly reduced network access costs and further promoted the rapid development of the information industry.

Although the Shanghai data center that has been officially opened is mainly for enterprise, government and university users, it is surprising that although the number of network access users in China has just exceeded 3 million as of August, the Shanghai data center has already reached 3 million in recent months. rapidly saturates.

Even Simon was a little surprised.

However, this has also greatly enhanced the confidence of Igreit in the Beijing data center project.

After such a busy day, Lin Su, who was invited as a 'partner', attended a high-level investment reception in the evening. She returned to Mao'er Hutong at about ten o'clock. Unexpectedly, someone blocked the door.

The mother of Zhu Momo, Mo Yiling, who received the news, flew over directly from Yunnan and spoke only when it was dark.

Then, Mo Yiling, who was in a complicated mood, asked Chen Qing about the inside story from his daughter's side, and directly put forward conditions to Chen Qing to talk to Simon Westeros.
