Chapter 1302: "Don't Waste Time" - Xia Fan and Amanda
Chapter 1303 "Don't Waste Time" Xia Fan and Amanda
"Boss Xia, our company has just developed a new technology, and it seems that this technology is just a little bit better than Mingzhou Group's technology." Jiang Chen said.
"You Tengyun Electric has developed a new technology?" Xia Mingzhou's face changed.
"Boss Xia, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing." Jiang Chen has Temple Technology in his hands, and the various technologies of Temple Technology, even if only a little bit is taken out, are enough to shock the world.
"Boss Jiang, I don't know what technology you are talking about?" Xia Mingzhou asked.
"Key technology of full-condition adaptive high-efficiency screw compressor." Jiang Chen said.
This technology has stronger anti-interference ability, which can ensure the stable operation of the unit and minimize the economic losses and even accident rates caused by unstable unit operation for consumers. In the technical innovation of variable frequency and variable capacity, improving the comprehensive energy efficiency ratio of chillers not only saves users a lot of electricity bills, but also contributes to energy conservation and emission reduction.
"In addition..." Jiang Chen talked about other technologies.
These technologies were actually developed in 2018.
Jiang Chen did this just to show it in advance.
As long as you are ahead of others, but not ahead for long, you can cut the leeks permanently.
"So, Mr. Jiang wants to refuse cooperation?" Xia Mingzhou asked.
"Cooperation? Mr. Xia, as far as I know, the development of Mingzhou Group in recent years is not very good, and there are many problems." Jiang Chen said.
Xia Mingzhou looked at Jiang Chen without speaking.
"If you don't mind me investing in Mingzhou Group, Xingchen Technology's chips can be supplied first." Jiang Chen said.
"Invest in Mingzhou Group?" Xia Mingzhou looked grim.
In her opinion, Jiang Chen was taking advantage of the fire.
"Yes, it is to invest in Mingzhou Group. As long as Mingzhou Group is a company invested by Xingchen Group, our Xingchen Group will provide help." Jiang Chen said.
"I refuse..."
"Mr. Xia." Jiang Chen interrupted Xia Mingzhou: "You don't need to refuse now, you can go back and think about it carefully before talking."
"This..." Xia Mingzhou was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay, I'll think about it."
After a moment, Xia Mingzhou left.
Jiang Chen called Li Qian.
"Mr. Jiang, you're looking for me?" Li Qian came quickly.
"Well, Secretary Li, you should investigate the situation of Mingzhou Group next." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay." Li Qian nodded.
"In addition, you should also prepare to go to the UK with me next month." Jiang Chen said.
"What are you going to do in the UK?" Li Qian asked.
"I'm going to participate in an academic exchange." Jiang Chen said.
"Academic exchange?" Li Qian blinked.
Are you kidding?
Jiang Chen went to participate in an academic exchange?
"Yes, I represent the Law School of Yenching University and professors from the Law School of Cambridge University, the Law School of London University, the Law School of Durham University and the Law School of Edinburgh University in the UK to hold academic discussions and academic exchanges." Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you?" Li Qian said.
"I am a professor at the Law School of Yenching University." Jiang Chen said.
"No, Mr. Jiang, you are not kidding?" Li Qian asked.
"Do you think I need it?" Jiang Chen asked back.
Li Qian was silent.
Is it necessary?
Of course not.
So, what Jiang Chen said was true.
"However, you and I are going to the UK to take advantage of this opportunity to develop the company's industry in the UK." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay, I understand." Li Qian nodded.
"This matter is confidential, but you can contact Xu Jie, Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lingyun in the Legal Department. They are my students, and I will take them to participate in academic exchanges." Jiang Chen said.
"Xu Jie and the others are your students?" Li Qian's beautiful eyes flashed.
Is this the legendary emperor's disciple?
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded, took out a document and handed it to Li Qian: "The academic exchange time is July 16, and we will go to the UK on July 10, so you should arrange things before you go."
"Mr. Jiang, are you using your private plane?" Li Qian asked.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
Guan Yuqing and others can also do other things when they go to the UK.
"Okay, I will arrange it." Li Qian had already overestimated Jiang Chen, but at this moment she realized that she still underestimated Jiang Chen.
"Go to work." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay." Li Qian then left the president's office.
...
A quarter of an hour later, Tong Wei came.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Please sit down." Jiang Chen looked at Tong Wei with a smile: "Is the matter resolved?"
"It has been resolved, and CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) has also been acquired." Tong Wei said.
"CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) is under your name. Next, will you resign from Xingchen Group and go to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) or continue to stay in Xingchen Group?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I want to manage CAEA (International Negotiation Agency)." Tong Wei said.
"Okay, you have made up your mind, so go and complete the resignation procedures." Jiang Chen said.
"Well." Tong Wei looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you."
"Thank me? There are 108 moves of Xiaoyao Tianjue. Let's use a few more moves tonight." Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Jiang, this is the office." Tong Wei said.
"Are you reminding me to practice in the office?" Jiang Chen stood up and said, "Then let's start." As he spoke, Jiang Chen appeared next to Tong Wei and hugged Tong Wei.
"Don't make trouble, that's not what I meant." Tong Wei rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen angrily.
"Aren't I excited?" Jiang Chen said.
"You." Jiang Chen is a saint in front of others. Only those around her know what a scoundrel Jiang Chen is. However, I have to say that doing this will improve the relationship between each other.
After the two had some fun, Jiang Chen and Tong Wei started chatting.
"CAEA (International Negotiation Agency) has undergone such changes, and it should have little impact." Jiang Chen said.
"Yeah." Tong Wei nodded.
"This time you return to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency), it's a homecoming." Jiang Chen said.
"Yeah." Tong Wei nodded.
"When you go to CAEA (International Negotiation Agency), you must choose a soundproof office." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.
"Mr. Jiang, you are the big boss, but you still think about these things..."
"Isn't it normal to think about these things?" Jiang Chen's hand had already landed on Tong Wei's place.
"Xingchen Group is not enough for you." Tong Wei said.
"What Huo Huo, am I such a person?" Jiang Chen asked.
"What do you think?" Tong Wei asked.
"say what?"
"Aren't you using your identity to..."
"Then let's give it a try now?" Jiang Chen shook hands.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't want my voice to be heard by people outside, right? There are eight people in your secretarial team who are not you, right? If they hear it, I'm afraid you will have no chance." Tong Wei said.
"You said I took care of them all in the CEO's office, what do you think?" Jiang Chen said in Tong Wei's ear.
"Are you such a person?" Tong Wei felt that if Jiang Chen were such a person, his wife might multiply exponentially.
"I can do this to you..." As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, all the buttons of Tong Wei's professional uniform were unbuttoned.
"You..." Tong Wei quickly distanced herself from Jiang Chen and buttoned up her buttons at the same time: "I have to go to work and won't play with you anymore." After saying that, Tong Wei walked out.
Jiang Chen smiled and smelled his hand.
…
In front of the restaurant.
"Mr. Jiang."
Xiong Qingchun came over.
"Here we come." Jiang Chen walked up to Xiong Qingchun, took Xiong Qingchun's hands, and said, "We haven't seen you for a while. My youth is getting more and more beautiful."
"Mr. Jiang, what else can you say besides this?" Xiong Qingchun asked.
"Well, one more thing." Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "We haven't seen you for a while, and I can't wait to eat you."
"Be more serious." Xiong Qingchun rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen angrily.
"Young youth, do you mean that I am not serious?" Jiang Chen asked.
"What do you think?" Xiong Qingchun asked.
"I think it's very serious." Jiang Chen said.
"you……"
"Let's go eat." Jiang Chen took Xiong Qingchun's hand and walked towards the restaurant.
Xiong Qingchun struggled for a while, but failed to break free, so he could only let Jiang Chen hold him.
Arriving at the restaurant's private room, Jiang Chen ordered Xiong Qingchun's favorite dish.
After the waiter left, Jiang Chen hugged Xiong Qingchun.
"What are you doing?" Xiong Qingchun was shocked.
"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked.
"..." Xiong Qingchun felt that Jiang Chen's hand seemed to have magic power.
Wherever Jiang Chen's hand passed, Xiong Qingchun felt an unprecedented feeling.
This made Xiong Qingchun feel like Jiang Chen had taken advantage of him countless times before.
However, she didn't feel disgusted or disgusted, but instead felt a sense of enjoyment.
Feeling this, Xiong Qingchun panicked a little.
She had been with a boyfriend before.
So, she knows exactly what it feels like.
Oh my god.
This is life-threatening.
"Youth." Jiang Chen lifted Xiong Qingchun's chin, lowered his head and kissed it.
Xiong Qingchun's heart trembled, and then he put his arms around Jiang Chen's neck.
At this moment, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun were like thunder from the sky meeting fire from the earth, sparks shooting out.
After a long time, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun let go.
However, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun both looked at each other.
At this moment, the eyes of Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun seemed to be... stringy.
"Dong dong dong."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"The waiter is here." Xiong Qingchun quickly pushed Jiang Chen away and arranged his clothes.
"Come in." Jiang Chen looked calm.
Xiong Qingchun glanced at Jiang Chen and felt that Jiang Chen was very experienced.
Is this why Jiang Chen has many girlfriends?
Is he really suitable for such a person?
Soon, the waiter brought the food and drinks.
"Come, let's have a drink together." Jiang Chen poured Xiong Qingchun a glass of wine.
"Just one cup." Xiong Qingchun said.
"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.
Others hope that the woman they are dining with will be drunk, because only when she is drunk can she do something, but Jiang Chen is a principled person and does not like the other person to be drunk when he is doing that.
The two chatted while eating, and time passed quickly.
Perhaps because of Jiang Chen's eloquence, the relationship between the two has also improved by leaps and bounds.
An hour later, Jiang Chen and Xiong Qingchun walked out of the restaurant.
"Youth, let's go next..."
Before Jiang Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Chen: "I still have to go to work."
"Then let's go talk in the car?" Jiang Chen said.
Xiong Qingchun hesitated and nodded.
Jiang Chen was delighted.
Go talk in the car, this hint is already very obvious, Xiong Qingchun did not refuse, in his opinion, it is to accept his rhythm.
At that moment, Jiang Chen took Xiong Qingchun to the back seat of the car.
Half an hour later.
"Shall I take you to the company?" Jiang Chen asked while recalling the interaction of half an hour just now.
"No, I want to go home first." Xiong Qingchun said hurriedly.
"Go home?" Jiang Chen looked at Xiong Qingchun.
"It's all because of you." Xiong Qingchun glared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen reacted and laughed.
"You are still laughing." Xiong Qingchun was angry.
"I think we can go to your house to rest." Jiang Chen said.
"No." Xiong Qingchun refused hurriedly.
Jiang Chen's strategy, if he really went to her house to rest, maybe even the last line of defense would be broken.
"Okay, I listen to you, but don't let me wait too long." Jiang Chen said.
"Wait for me for ten thousand years." Xiong Qingchun said.
"I understand." Jiang Chen was overjoyed and hugged Xiong Qingchun.
"What are you doing?" Xiong Qingchun patted Jiang Chen's hand.
"There is a saying that one glance is ten thousand years. You asked me to wait for you for ten thousand years, which means that in the blink of an eye, I can..." Jiang Chen did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already very clear.
"..." Xiong Qingchun.
Can idioms be used like this?
One glance is ten thousand years + wait for you for ten thousand years is this what it means?
"Take me home quickly." Xiong Qingchun said.
"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled.
...
School of Law, Magic City University.
"Professor Chen, you are looking for me?" Jiang Chen came here after receiving a call from Professor Chen.
"Jiang Chen, I heard that you can speak French?" Professor Chen asked.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
When Jiang Chen met inas at Magic City University last year, he and inas chatted in French, so many people at Magic City University knew that he could speak French.
"The French Department has a book to translate, but now the teachers in the French Department have disagreements on the translation, so I called you and wanted you to come and take a look." Professor Chen said.
"Professor Chen, there are so many professors in the French Department, it should be easy to translate a book." Jiang Chen said.
"There are many professors in the French Department, but many of them are not in Shanghai due to some matters, and I have a good relationship with Professor Zhang of the French Department, so I recommended you. Jiang Chen, if it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't ask you to come." Professor Chen said.
"Then I will go to the French Department to find Professor Zhang?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Do you want me to take you there?" Professor Chen asked.
"No need." Jiang Chen glanced at the book in front of Professor Chen and said, "Professor Chen, you should continue to work."
After all, Professor Chen is her father-in-law.
Now that her father-in-law is asking her for help, no matter what kind of help it is, she is obliged to do it.
"Then I will send a message to Professor Zhang, and you can find her yourself." Professor Chen said.
"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.
After saying goodbye to Professor Chen, Jiang Chen walked towards the French Department.
Soon, Jiang Chen came to the French Department.
"French Department..."
"It seems that Qiao Fei in "Dear Translator" was a student of the French Department of Magic City University before going to France."
Jiang Chen walked forward while thinking.
Soon, Jiang Chen came to the office of Professor Zhang of the French Department.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Jiang Chen knocked on the door of the office.
Soon, a voice came from the office.
"Come in."
At that moment, Jiang Chen pushed the door open and walked in.
The next moment, two figures appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.
Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.
"Sign in."
Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.
[Congratulations to the host, the sign-in is successful, and the intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation map is obtained. ]
"Intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation map?"
"In addition to the forty intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation maps when promoted to the imperial family, this is the eleventh sign-in to get it."
The low-level lower-grade spiritual field transformation map is to transform the original land into a lower-grade spiritual field, and a total of ten acres of lower-grade spiritual fields can be transformed.
The intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade lower-grade spiritual field transformation map, which can transform one hundred acres of lower-grade spiritual fields.
"Good stuff."
"Although there are many intermediate lower-grade spiritual field transformation maps now, the more the better."
At the moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female protagonist who signed in.
Lu Youyan, a character in "The Road from Tonight to White: Encountering Youth".
In the play, she is a junior student in the French Department, lively and cute, optimistic and cheerful, full of positive energy. Lu Youyan was originally a girl with congenital hereditary heart disease, but her attitude towards relatives, friends and her own life is more positive and optimistic than other healthy people.
"The plot of "The Road from Tonight to White: Encountering Youth" begins in 2017."
"To be precise, it is the second half of 2017."
"So, Lu Youyan is now a sophomore student in the French Department."
"No, Lu Youyan is a transfer student."
"So... is she here today to transfer?"
In the play, Lu Youyan helps the talented painter Gu Yebai adjust his mentality and fulfill his art dream, and the two gradually develop feelings. However, when Lu Youyan is appreciated by her boss and gets the opportunity to go to Paris, she faces the test of her relationship with Gu Yebai. At the same time, the news that Lu Youyan's cousin is critically ill also brings a huge impact on her life.
"Professor Zhang? I'm Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen said to another person in the office.
"Jiang Chen is here, wait a minute." Professor Zhang said to Lu Youyan: "Lu Youyan, you will continue to study in school in the second half of the year. You should review your lessons well during the summer vacation."
"Okay, Professor Zhang." Lu Youyan nodded.
"Go." Professor Zhang said.
Lu Youyan said goodbye and left.
"Professor Zhang." Jiang Chen walked towards Professor Zhang.
"Jiang Chen, I heard from Professor Chen that your French is very good. I wonder if it's true?" Professor Zhang asked.
"Professor Zhang, my French is very good." Jiang Chen did not deny it.
School is not society.
Under normal circumstances, capable people will be respected.
"Then let's get started." Professor Zhang took out a book and handed it to Jiang Chen: "Take a look at this."
Jiang Chen opened it and saw that it was a French book.
"Professor Zhang, let's start now..."
For Jiang Chen, who is proficient in all languages in the world, it is not difficult to translate.
It's just a bit time-consuming.
However, it doesn't matter if it takes time to establish a relationship with Magic City University.
In three hours, Jiang Chen, Professor Zhang, and the other two French professors found by Professor Zhang successfully translated the French book.
"Jiang Chen, thanks to you this time." Professor Zhang said with emotion.
At the beginning, he didn't believe how strong Jiang Chen's French was, but now he understands that Jiang Chen's French is stronger than he imagined.
"Professor Zhang, I also did what I could." Jiang Chen said modestly.
"Jiang Chen, I wonder if you are willing to join our French department?" Professor Zhang asked.
"Professor Zhang, my personality is not suitable for teaching and educating people." Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Chen felt that if he really taught in school, many female college students might become his wives. If he was exposed, he would be ruined.
"Forget it." Thinking of Jiang Chen's identity, Professor Zhang did not force it.
At that moment, Jiang Chen said goodbye.
"It's the end of June now, and many students have left."
"By the way, there are many female college students who signed in this year, but it seems that I didn't get many."
Jiang Chen walked towards the parking lot, thinking wildly.
Who knew that Jiang Chen was too fanciful.
So when he was about to enter the parking lot, he bumped into someone.
"Ah..."
A scream came.
Jiang Chen hurriedly grabbed the person.
"Didn't you look at the road?" A crisp voice sounded.
"Sorry." Jiang Chen looked up.
The next moment, a woman appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.
"Is it her?"
Jiang Chen recognized her.
Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.
"Sign in."
Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.
【Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained the skill of making jade slips. 】
"The skill of making jade slips?"
"The skill of making jade slips is the technology of making jade slips."
What is a jade slip?
Each type of civilization has several distinctive cultural characteristics. The culture of jade slips and true jade slips is the most distinctive type of cultivation civilization.
The inheritance of human knowledge is inseparable from language and writing. The original meaning of "Jian" refers to the bamboo slips used by the ancients to carve words. With the development of cultivation civilization, cultivators have discovered that some jade can not only store spiritual energy, but also store spiritual consciousness/spiritual power!
This type of jade that can store spiritual consciousness/spiritual power is divided into two categories. One is natural jade, which has various shapes and is called "Jianyu" or "Jianshi"; the other is artificial jade, which is made of specific raw materials according to a certain proportion and a certain procedure. It is usually made into a sheet, called a "jade slip".
Jade slips are divided into "ordinary jade slips" and "true jade slips".
Ordinary jade slips can store text, voice, and static pictures, which are engraved with spiritual consciousness/spiritual power through a specific formation. Its information storage capacity far exceeds that of bamboo slips, and it is stable and easy to carry. It is deeply loved by cultivators in the cultivation civilization. When using it, the cultivator can read the information in the ordinary jade slip after using the divine consciousness to probe into the ordinary jade slip. Since the divine consciousness probing into the jade slip will not damage the structure of the jade slip and the internal information, this process is also called "infiltration".
The true meaning jade slip is an advanced product that appeared after the jade slip culture developed to a certain extent. It can not only store text, voice, and static pictures, but also store dynamic "scene live" and "stream of consciousness".
The true meaning jade slip, because it stores dynamic information, its information storage capacity far exceeds that of ordinary jade slips. Its jade material, divine consciousness engraved into the formation, and the method of use are also different from ordinary jade slips.
So when using the true meaning jade slip, you need to drip blood to recognize the owner, but ordinary jade slips do not need it!
So from this point, it can be clearly seen that ordinary jade slips are similar to "talismans", which do not require dripping blood to recognize the owner and are not limited to users; the true meaning jade slip is similar to a "magic weapon", which requires dripping blood to recognize the owner, and once the owner is recognized, it can only be used by the owner, and others cannot use it.
Of course, this ability to only allow the owner to read information is achieved through the array inside the jade slip, and there is a crack in the array. Reading the confidential information of others' true meaning jade slips has long evolved into a gray industry.
The development of cultivation civilization is inseparable from the jade slips and true meaning jade slips as media. Due to its important significance and historical achievements, the jade slip making technique has gradually separated from the "weapon refining technique" and become a special cultivation skill, and is listed as one of the "sixteen arts of cultivation".
The jade slip making technique obtained by signing in to the system now is the technology of making ordinary jade slips and true meaning jade slips.
"According to the system introduction, the art of making jade slips is divided into three parts. The first part is to make blank jade slips and blank true jade slips, which is called "blank jade slip making art". The maker is called "slip maker", which is generally divided into four levels: apprentice, junior slip maker, intermediate slip maker, and senior slip maker. The second part is to engrave text, voice, and static pictures into jade slips or true jade slips, which is called "ordinary slip making art". This technology belongs to basic magic and is widely circulated in the cultivation world. Anyone who has established a foundation can learn and use it. This is also one of the basic skills of using waist cards."
"The third part is to engrave dynamic "scene live" or "stream of consciousness" into the true jade slip, which is called "true slip making art ", this technique is also a basic spell, widely circulated in the world of cultivation, and anyone who has established a foundation can learn and use it. However, if you want to earn spirit stones by selling "true meaning jade slips"? You must have the "true meaning" that can arouse the desire of others to buy!"
"With this slip-making technique, you can make jade slips and true meaning jade slips."
"This means that the family can have one more medium for storing knowledge."
"Especially the true meaning jade slips, which can increase confidentiality."
"After all, even computers need to be powered on to use."
"And jade slips are through mental power."
"If jade slips are compared to computers, then mental power is equivalent to electricity."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at the female protagonist who signed in.
Zhou Huaian, a character in "The Road from Tonight to Meet Youth".
In the play, she is the campus beauty of G University, born in a scholarly family, arrogant in her heart, and has a high self-esteem. She likes the male protagonist Gu Yebai. Unfortunately, Gu Yebai likes Lu Youyan. Seeing Gu Yebai and Lu Youyan showing their affection every day, he began to drive Lu Youyan away by any means.
"Are you another character from "The Road from Tonight White Meets Youth"?"
"Just now it was Lu Youyan, now it's Zhou Huaian."
"Unlike Lu Youyan, Zhou Huaian is from the Department of Fine Arts."
In the play, she liked Wei Zijian at the beginning, but Wei Zijian liked Lu Youyan. Zhou Huaian stabbed Lu Youyan in the back, causing conflicts between Lu Youyan and Gu Yebai and breaking up. Despite this, Zhou Huaian did not get Wei Zijian's favor, but was disgusted by Wei Zijian because of her deep scheming.
So although Zhou Huaian was with Wei Zijian during college, they broke up soon after graduation. During the time when Lu Youran went to the United States, Zhou Huaian accompanied Gu Yebai, and the two were once boyfriend and girlfriend, but they did not end up together.
"It is normal for the second female lead in film and television dramas to have no results."
"However, Zhou Huaian's means are not enough."
Jiang Chen does not think that Zhou Huaian is wrong to destroy the relationship between Lu Youyan and Gu Yebai.
If you do nothing, how can the opportunity fall on you?
"Just say sorry? Did you do it on purpose?" Zhou Huaian said.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I was thinking about something, so I didn't see it." Jiang Chen replied.
"You... forget it." Zhou Huaian was stunned when he saw Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's appearance was a bit ordinary, but he looked very attractive.
"Thank you."
Jiang Chen asked knowingly: "Are you Zhou Huaian from the Department of Fine Arts?"
"Do you know me?" Zhou Huaian had never seen Jiang Chen.
"No, but I've heard of you." Jiang Chen didn't expect that Zhou Huaian, Lu Youyan and others were also in Magic City University, but this is a good thing.
"Oh." Zhou Huaian was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen said.
"Something?" Zhou Huaian asked.
"Shall we exchange contact information?" Jiang Chen said.
"No need." Zhou Huaian said.
"No need? No, it's necessary." Jiang Chen said: "In case I hit you just now, you can ask me for compensation."
"..." Zhou Huaian.
Hit?
What is this and what?
"I'm telling the truth." Jiang Chen said.
"You're sick." Zhou Huaian turned and left.
"..." Jiang Chen.
"What a pity."
In the play, Zhou Huaian is a white, rich and beautiful woman.
I don't know how this is set up in this film and television fusion world.
However, when he saw Zhou Huaian, Jiang Chen thought of Hua Chunran.
Zhou Huaian and Hua Chunran were played by the same actor in their previous life.
Hua Chunran is a beauty in ancient costume.
Because of her character setting, she is completely different from Zhou Huaian.
...
In the evening, in the restaurant.
"Mr. Jiang, why did you invite me to dinner today?" Chen Kaiyi asked.
"Isn't this because I miss you? You haven't been to Daming Palace during this period." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Now there are a lot of things in the company, and Daming Palace is far away, so it's better to go home and practice." Chen Kaiyi said: "What's more, I'm going to the second world the day after tomorrow, and we have plenty of time to be together."
Chen Kaiyi understands that there are many women from Jiang Chen in the Daming Palace, so if you want to get Jiang Chen's blessing, it will only happen once in a few days. Therefore, instead of going to the Daming Palace, it is better to work hard in the first world.
After all, for the sake of fairness, Jiang Chen decided that the number of blessings for each woman would be about the same.
What she lacks in the first world will be made up for in other worlds.
"How is the company now?" Jiang Chen asked.
"There is nothing big going on in the company. However, there is a lot of competition now, and I am going to work with the Xiangjiang branch to jointly launch a new version." Chen Kaiyi said.
"Okay, you can discuss it with Xiao Hongxue, but Xiao Hongxue and you may have different ideas." Jiang Chen said.
"This is not a problem." Chen Kaiyi said.
"As long as you have confidence." Jiang Chen smiled, and then chatted with Chen Kaiyi while eating.
Chen Kaiyi asked: "Mr. Jiang, how do you plan to develop foreign fashion magazines?"
"Do you think it's possible to enter foreign fashion magazines now?" Jiang Chen asked.
"It's absolutely okay." Chen Kaiyi said.
"Then find a way to acquire Times." Jiang Chen said.
"Times?" Chen Kaiyi asked.
"right."
Jiang Chen remembered that Times was acquired in a previous life, probably in 2017.
Times is a well-known magazine publisher and the parent company of Time Magazine.
In its previous life, Times reached a definitive agreement with another magazine publisher, Meredith, to acquire all of Time Inc. for $5 per share.
Jiang Chen remembered that including Time Company’s debt and net cash, the total amount of this transaction would reach approximately US$2.8 billion, and it would all be conducted in cash. To complete this transaction, Meredith raised a total of US$500 million in funding, including US$500 million from Koch Equity Development, an investment fund owned by the US oil tycoon Koch brothers.
In its previous life, 201redith had total annual sales of US$4.8 billion, including US$2.7 billion in advertising revenue, of which digital advertising revenue totaled nearly US$700 million. Total EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) reached US$800 million.
"That's okay." Chen Kaiyi nodded.
Times she knew.
With the rapid rise of Internet-related industries, companies such as Facebook and Google are also rapidly increasing their share of advertising revenue from digital channels. Coupled with the overall downturn in the traditional print media industry, the situation of traditional publishing giants such as Time Inc. is not ideal. Earlier last month, Time Inc. just announced its first-quarter financial data, with sales of US$9.4 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 9%, of which advertising and distribution revenue fell by 12% year-on-year. This was the sixth consecutive quarter in which they failed to meet analysts’ expectations.
In order to reverse the situation, Time Company reduced a total of 200 jobs worldwide in June this year, and said in May that it planned to sell three of its magazines, namely: the travel magazine "Coastal Living", the gardening and home furnishing magazine "Sunset" and Golf magazine "Golf". For more than a year, Time Inc. has been trying to sell, and Meredith is also one of the rumored buyers.
"However, it is not easy to acquire Times." Chen Kaiyi said.
"Is there someone who wants to acquire Times?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, Meredith has tried to acquire Time Inc. twice since 2013. In November last year, Time Inc. rejected an offer from Edgar Bronfman and Ynon Kreiz that ranged from $18 to $20 per share (the total purchase price was approximately $1.8 billion). "
Chen Kaiyi said: "I just received news before this year that one of Time Inc.'s main competitors, magazine publisher Rodale (Rodale Company), also announced that it may choose to seek sale. Meredith is also one of the rumored potential buyers. Others Possible buyers include Hearerican Media."
"Then let's find a way to get a share of the pie? You can sort out the information in the past two days and make relevant acquisition plans when you go to the second world the day after tomorrow, and start the acquisition after you come back from the second world." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay." Chen Kaiyi did not refuse.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Chen Kaiyi walked out of the box talking and laughing.
"Chen Kaiyi?"
Just when Jiang Chen and Chen Kaiyi were about to leave the restaurant, a voice came from the side.
Jiang Chen turned around and looked.
The next moment, two figures appeared in Jiang Chen's sight.
Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.
"Sign in."
Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.
[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and received 10,000 horses. 】
[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos. 】
[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in 1,360 heroines in a row, and you will be rewarded with 10 attribute points, an expansion of 100 cubic meters of space rings, six pairs of top-quality Haidongqing, and black unicorn training cards. 】
"Ten thousand poles?"
"This is the twentieth time I've signed in."
"This is also the last time I signed in."
Ma Cha is a heavy weapon used by ancient cavalry. Now Jiang Jiajun's Star Cavalry, Eagle Guards, White Horse Camp and Futu Camp are all equipped with Ma Cha.
Now the Jiang family has 10,000 Xingchen Cavalry and 5,000 Eagle Guards. In the second world, there are 6,000 Futu Camp and 10,000 White Horse Camp. In the Third World, there are 12,000 people in the Pagoda Camp and 27,000 people in the White Horse Camp. In the fourth world, there are 37,000 Baima camp and 37,000 Pagoda camp.
The three worlds add up to 137,000.
Now that these horses are all equipped, there are not many left.
"This sign-in reward is good."
"Now there are craftsmen in the Fengyun Continent, the Warring States Continent, and the Snow Continent making horseshoes, but the horseshoes you want to build are of a sign-in level, and it doesn't happen overnight. If you can't continue to sign in, you can only Use it sparingly."
"Ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos?"
"This is the tenth time I signed in and got ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos."
"I got ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as special rewards before. Later, I got ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos from Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi and Qian An'an by signing in, and I got a thousand ten-thousand-year Poria cocos when I was promoted to the Celestial Clan. I thought I would get ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in again.”
"During this period, due to elixir refining and other reasons, a lot of Ten Thousand Years Poria cocos have been used. There are only one thousand and eighteen plants in the system space. Now it is not bad to be able to sign in and get ten Ten Thousand Years Poria cocos plants."
"However, once the Jiang Family Medicine Garden cultivates them, there will be no need to worry about these thousands of years old medicinal materials."
"Starting from Qin Zuoman, Ding Yiyuan, Qiu Dongna, Jiang Tian, Shang Weiwei, Xia Mingzhou, Lu Youyan, Zhou Huaian, and now Xia Fan and Amanda, ten more heroines have been signed without knowing it."
"10 attribute points and one hundred cubic meters of space or subspace expansion are special special rewards."
"Six pairs of top quality Haidongqing?"
"This sign-in reward is average now."
"Currently, there are fifty-three pairs of top-quality Haidongqing used in the third film and television fusion world, and there are already 42 pairs of top-quality Haitungqing in the second film and television fusion world. A total of three pairs are used in the Daming Palace in the first world. The fourth world used fifty pairs of top-quality Haidongqing. When promoted to the Imperial Clan, 24 pairs of top-quality Haidongqing were obtained by signing in. When promoted to the Heavenly Clan, 48 pairs of top-quality Haidongqing were obtained. In the system space, there are Sixty-two pairs of top quality sea blues.”
"With the addition of six pairs of top-grade Haidongqing, there are sixty-eight pairs of top-grade Haidongqing in the system space."
"Although the top-grade Haidongqing in the Fourth World can only be used to transmit information between marching battles and Jin Yiwei, in addition to Douqi Continent, the top-grade Haidongqing in other continents still has a lot of functions. Now there are more and more continents. The best quality sea green is being used more and more. ”
"What's more, when we go to the second and third worlds in the future, we must have the best Haidongqing."
"Black Kirin training card?"
"This is average."
"However, if you have more training cards like this, you can synthesize enhanced training cards in the future."
At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.
Xia Fan, a character in "Living with Time".
In the play, she is the fashion editor of Raisa. Aloof and solitary, hard-working and conscientious at work. Xia Fan has been a good student since he was a child. He was admitted to university without any surprise and successfully entered the "Raisa" magazine, which was the envy of School Li. Xia Fan discovered model Zhou Zimo, but Zhou Zimo's popularity was beyond her expectation. Due to his outstanding cultivation of Zhou Zimo, Xia Fan gradually became more valued by the editor and faced more opportunities.
Amanda, a character in "Not Losing Time".
In the play, she is the editor-in-chief of Raisa Fashion. As a professional in the workplace, Amanda not only has strong work ability, but also has a very keen eye for hiring people, whether they are "workaholics" who are capable but not scheming, or "workaholics" who have ideas but don't know the rules. "Long Touqing", as long as it can bring efficiency to her work, she will look at him differently.
"The plot of "Living Time" begins in 19 years."
"So now we're still two years away from the start of the show."
"Xia Fan..."
Xia Fan in the play works at "Raisa" magazine as a fashion editor. "Raisa" magazine launches a search for amateur models to encourage young people to bravely pursue their dreams. Xia Fan saw Zhou Zimo and thought his image and temperament were good, so he secretly took photos of him. After that, she took the initiative and extended an invitation to Zhou Zimo. Unexpectedly, on that day, Zhou Zimo was scolded by the editor-in-chief Wu Yu and was in a very bad mood. Xia Fan happened to be in the muzzle of the gun. Not only did he reject Xia Fan, he also asked Xia Fan to delete the photos.
Xia Fan refused and turned around to leave. Zhou Zimo went directly to grab her camera. While they were pulling, the camera was thrown to the ground by Zhou Zimo. Xia Fan was angry with Zhou Zimo, ignored Zhou Zimo's promise of compensation, tore off the first page of Zhou Zimo's manuscript, and found Wu Yu through that manuscript. From this moment on, Wu Yu and Xia Fan officially formed a bond. Later, under Wu Yu's infatuated pursuit, Xia Fan and him became a couple.
Although Zhou Zimo and Xia Fan's first meeting was like an idol drama, they didn't like each other. When Zhou Zimo was desperate, Xia Fan once again extended an invitation to Zhou Zimo, which finally made him waver. Zhou Zimo tried modeling for the first time and became working partners with Xia Fan.
The person who really likes Zhou Zimo and has an emotional connection with Zhou Zimo is Xia Fan's school girl Li Xiao. When Zhou Zimo was most frustrated, Li Xiao encouraged him. The sensitive Xia Fan has long noticed that Zhou Zimo likes Xiao Li, and she has no intention of snatching Li Xiao's future boyfriend.
"Amanda is just a standard professional in the show."
"Or a standard leader."
In the play, the well-dressed editors of "Risa" race against time to plan topics and marketing, fearing to miss a little fashion trend. Every time Amanda assigns a project, Xia Fan and Xiao Mo will compete with each other.
Such a tense rhythm and exciting atmosphere are like a workplace where 996 is a luxury, and there is no room for respite.
"In the play, from "Risa" to the proofreading department of Dongfan Publishing House, two different styles of workplaces are shown, but no matter which position, value should be exerted and responsibility should be assumed."
"However, now Amanda is called Chen Kaiyi..."
"That's right."
"Amanda is the editor-in-chief of "Risa" magazine, and Chen Kaiyi was previously the editor-in-chief of "Shengzhuang" magazine."
"The fashion industry is big, but it is also small. In addition, it is in Shanghai, so it is impossible for Amanda and Chen Kaiyi not to know each other."
Jiang Chen's mind was filled with the relevant plots of Amanda.
"Amanda?" Chen Kaiyi saw Amanda and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I didn't expect to meet you here either." Amanda walked over with Xia Fan.
"Is this Xia Fan, the newcomer in your company?" Chen Kaiyi said when she saw Xia Fan.
"Chen Kaiyi, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Amanda's eyes flashed.
Xia Fan had just joined "Risa" magazine and was known by Chen Kaiyi not long ago?
He is indeed her biggest competitor.
With a glance, Amanda saw Jiang Chen: "Chen Kaiyi, are you also recruiting newcomers for "Shengzhuang" magazine?"
"Newcomer? You mean him?" Chen Kaiyi glanced at Jiang Chen.
"Isn't it?" Amanda asked back.
"Amanda, guess who he is." Chen Kaiyi said.
"Me?"
Amanda's eyes flashed, and she said to Jiang Chen: "Handsome boy, are you working for "Shengzhuang" magazine? I wonder if you are willing to work for our "Rosa" magazine? Our "Rosa" magazine is much better than "Shengzhuang" magazine."
"Rosa magazine? This is the first time I heard of it today." Jiang Chen said.
"..." Amanda.
Chen Kaiyi chuckled.
In Chen Kaiyi's opinion, it is impossible for Jiang Chen to enter the fashion industry without knowing "Rosa" magazine.
"Is "Rosa" magazine the first time I heard of it? Handsome boy, are you kidding? However, as long as you join "Rosa" magazine, the conditions I offer are much better than Chen Kaiyi's." Amanda said.
"Oh, what conditions do you offer?" Jiang Chen asked back.
"I...handsome boy, whatever conditions Chen Kaiyi offers, I promise to be better than hers." Amanda said.
"Amanda, you really don't take me seriously! You actually poached people in front of me." Chen Kaiyi was a little amused.
Others are fine.
Amanda actually attacked Jiang Chen?
"Chen Kaiyi, everyone has the right to choose, and the handsome boy is the same." Amanda said.
"Amanda is right, everyone has the right to choose." Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone and said to Amanda: "Let's exchange contact information?"
"Okay." Amanda smiled.
Chen Kaiyi glanced at Jiang Chen and snorted.
Amanda smiled proudly.
In her opinion, Chen Kaiyi was angry and dissatisfied.
However, Amanda didn't know that Chen Kaiyi was not poaching because of her face, but because she thought Jiang Chen might be interested in Amanda.
You know, she, Grace, and Hao Liren are all in the fashion industry.
And Amanda is also in the fashion industry.
Women in the fashion industry know how to take care of themselves and are the easiest to be liked.
"Handsome boy, contact me when you think you're ready. Sister is waiting for your call." Amanda said and left with Xia Fan.
After seeing Amanda and the other person leave, Chen Kaiyi said sourly: "Boss Jiang, are you reluctant to let them go?"
