Chapter 1316: Going Too Far

Mo Wuling fled in despair, because it was approaching noon, Zhu Momo finally found a chance to run over. When he left, he took the score of "Those Flowers" with him, saying that it was going to be used in "To Youth". He also condemned Simon several times in his words.

The main idea is basically the same, someone is not a good person.

Zhu Momo didn't know anything about it, and Barabara talked about the latest things. After lunch, she accompanied Simon to disembark and started the afternoon schedule.

Simon mainly went to the industrial park in the east of the city in the afternoon.

The current layout of the Westeros system in China is mainly industrial investment. Due to Chen Qing's relationship, Suzhou has also harvested many large projects in recent years.

Nokia and Tinkbel, the core of the Westeros system, have successively invested in large-scale product factories in the industrial park in the east of Suzhou City, and set up R&D centers, and have continued to increase investment. Around 30% of the assembly capacity is located in Suzhou, with the size of Nokia and Tinkber, and a production capacity of 30, which will play a strong role in driving the relevant industrial chains in the entire Suzhou area.

In addition, Samsung Electronics also established the largest overseas production base in Suzhou three years ago. With the Westeros system realizing the absolute control of Samsung Electronics, this is now its own industry. Moreover, with the sufficient supply of Samsung Electronics, the company will gradually close more high-cost factories in South Korea and shift production capacity to China, mainly Suzhou.

As for the Joyo Computer established by Chen Qing two years ago, or the largest VCD brand in China, Backgammon, and other Westeros-related companies in China, they have also established R&D centers or production plants in Suzhou, even if the size cannot be compared with giants such as Nokia. , together is quite a huge capital force.

Not only that, under Chen Qing's lead, Samsung Motors, which is merging with Kia, is also considering setting up a complete vehicle factory in Suzhou. This is not only a hot spot in China, but also happens to be a shortcoming of Suzhou, so the city government is also very eager.

In this era of China, the investor is the uncle.

Chen Qing was able to attract so much investment for her own city, even if the various tax and land benefits that should be given are indispensable, she has indirectly gained considerable hidden influence in the local area, not to mention that there is another girl standing behind her. A towering tree.

Accompanied by local leaders and relevant business executives, Simon walked past several factories, and watched the construction progress of his Chinese-style garden by the Dushu Lake, and finally rushed directly to the airport.

Zhu Momo really wanted to go to the background with Simon, but before leaving home, his mother reminded him intentionally or unintentionally that he had to go home at night, so he had to be obedient, otherwise Mo Yiling might go crazy. After saying goodbye to Simon on the airport runway for a long time, I reluctantly left. I also made an appointment to meet in New York during Fashion Week in February.

Inside the cabin of a Boeing 767.

Reflecting the evening twilight outside the porthole, feeling the tremor when the fuselage slid out of the runway, Simon continued to talk to Chen Qing about business: "I have discussed one thing with the heads of Tinkber, Nokia and other companies one after another. About OEM. Because the industry has just emerged, the production capacity is not large, and the related companies themselves want to control the industrial chain, etc., each of them basically built their own factories for production. In the next few years, I hope to gradually peel off this part of the link go out."

At present, a large number of Taiwanese OEM companies such as Foxconn have entered China. Chen Qing understood Simon's intentions as soon as she heard it, but she was a little puzzled: "Boss, why should we spin off? Isn't it better for us to control the production process?"

"If Nokia and other single products maintain the current annual sales of millions or tens of millions, you are not wrong to think so. However, in the next few years, whether it is Nokia's mobile phones or Tinkber's digital music Players and so on, the annual sales may reach hundreds of millions. At that time, if you continue to produce by yourself, you should be able to imagine that just the production business may become the largest department of these companies, and you will need to hire hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Employees, how many management risks, cost pressures and even potential social problems are contained in this, do you think about it?"

When Simon mentioned this, Chen Qing quickly understood.

If the future situation is as described by my boss, the huge but low-end production department may become a drag on the entire company if you don't pay attention to it.

Definitely have to strip it out ASAP.

"So, boss, what should I do?"

Simon said: "I will give you three years to cultivate your own foundry team. At that time, if it is feasible, the factories that originally belonged to companies such as Nokia will be gradually divested to you. If you can't do it well, you can only give it to Taiwan. OEMs."

Chen Qing quickly calculated that three years was enough.

Here, whether it is Nokia, Tinkber, BBK or even Excellence, they all have their own factory management teams. These are the team, and qualified talents can be selected to transform into the OEM field. In addition, if there is a shortage of manpower, they can still poach people, and the targets happen to be those foundry manufacturers in Taiwan. As long as the money is enough, plus equity rewards, it will definitely be no problem to poach some teams.

Feeling excited, Chen Qing discussed various details with her boss along the way.

The Boeing 767 arrived in Beijing at around seven o'clock in the evening.

Simon rushed to the mansion in Mao'er Hutong first, changed his clothes, had dinner, and then rushed to the Great Wall Hotel in Chaoyang District with Chen Qing.

Here is a gathering of film and television circles hosted by Jinshu, which can be regarded as a celebration of "Love Call Transfer". Of course, the main reason for choosing this evening is that Simon will come, and it has been arranged a few days in advance.

On the way to the Great Wall Hotel, Chen Qing also specifically mentioned that the choice of the Great Wall Hotel was due to the connection between Mr. Qin from Heaven and Earth. This famous nightclub in the capital not only

With the indirect shareholding of the Westeros system, even Singmei Media, established by the Qin brothers, also holds 50 shares here.

When we arrived at the banquet hall of the Great Wall Hotel, it was already nine o'clock.

We've been drinking for three rounds here, but everyone's emotions are still high, and naturally there is no objection to Simon's late arrival. As long as this high-ranking big shot can show his face, it is an honor for this party.

In a hall big enough to accommodate hundreds of people, there are a lot of big names in the Chinese film and television industry, and many of them come from other places on purpose. The various hilltops of the Jinshu Department and a large number of star filmmakers under its banner are even more complete.

In fact, in the past year, there were not many projects produced by the Jinshu Department, and there were only a handful of them in the true sense.

However, it is precisely these few projects, such as "Speak Well", "Private Interview with Kangxi Weifu", "Super Girl" and "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which almost reached the sky at the end of the year, can be said to make a lot of money. , not to mention "Love Call Transfer", which was released on January 1 this year during the Lunar New Year, set a box office record for domestic films in one fell swoop.

Coupled with the fact that there is someone standing behind the scenes of the Jinshu Department, such thighs, not to mention hugging, can be of great benefit if you can rub them.

Going into the countryside, he greeted the biggest haters such as Mr. Tong and Mr. Han of China Film and Television, and Simon came to the crew of "Love Call Transfer", smiled and stretched out his hand towards Feng's pants: "Congratulations, Feng, the box office record of domestic films, I've seen it several times in private, and you guys are doing even better than I thought."

This is not a scene.

The original version of "Love Call Transfer", the story is interesting is interesting, but it is just pure popcorn. However, as we all know, Feng Pants has always been a director with great artistic pursuits, and has been greatly influenced by a ruffian writer. He always likes to add some connotations to his works.

Of course, it is the kind that does not affect the quality of the film. The typical one is "Party A and Party B". While it is a comedy, it also satirizes some social phenomena.

The new version of the script of "Love Call Transfer", based on Feng Trousers and Liu Chef, based on the story framework given by Simon, has a little more flavor of Feng's comedy closely following current events, and the quality is indeed better than Simon expected. Good thing, this is also the basis for this film to gain 200 million yuan in the box office in the mainland.

Feng Pants held Simon's hand in both hands, and said sincerely: "Mr. Westeros, I am ashamed to say this compliment from your mouth. The recent "Titanic" from Daenerys Entertainment No. 350,000,000 in the United States alone, and "Love Call Transfer" is not even as good as "Titanic" in its seventh week of release.

Today is February 1st, Sunday.

As of January 29th, the seventh week of release, "Titanic", which is still going strong, has reversed its decline during the Golden Globes. In the past week, the single-week decline in the box office was still only 23, and it received another 33.15 million US dollars. The cumulative box office in North America Reached 355.91 million US dollars.

Not to mention overseas, but only in North America. Based on the current exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar, the box office of "Titanic" is equivalent to 3.1 billion RMB. A movie is still in theaters, and its potential has not been fully released. It is already equivalent to the past year. The box office in mainland China is more than double that of the whole year, which is really amazing.

Simon was also mentioned this movie when he greeted Mr. Tong of China Film Group.

It is said that rumors have been leaked from above, and they will arrange a schedule for "Titanic" as soon as possible, so that they can learn how others make movies.

Coupled with the good relationship between the Westeros system and China, "Titanic" has been confirmed to be released in April, when the Oscars have just ended, and the box office will definitely hit a new high, and the overseas reputation will reach the highest. Not only that, this time, the film will basically not be cut.

Simon can imagine that because China has realized the reform of the theater chain system and the Internet of theater ticket sales in advance, compared with the domestic box office of 360 million yuan in the past, this time, if the box office potential of "Titanic" is really released, let alone double it. times, 500 million must have been laid down properly.

This is not acceptable.

It is better to take the initiative to operate it, and quickly take it off the shelves after one month of release, and don't worry about the pirated version, it will spread as soon as possible, if it is impossible, the pirated version will be released here.

In short, it is not bad to get 300 million this time.

Too much is too late.

Simon thought about this, and Chen Qing glanced at Feng's trousers, who was not willing to let go of her boss's hand, and interrupted with a smile: "Director Feng, you are too modest, every country has its own national conditions, we can do it It’s been great to that extent.”

Feng Trousers nodded repeatedly, noticed Chen Qing's eyes, realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly let go of the boss's hand in front of him.

Simon greeted one of the film's cooks, screenwriters, starring Li Dakuan and several actresses one by one.

Then they talked about "Party A and Party B".

This comedy, which was supposed to be the first Chinese New Year film in China, was postponed for a year. However, because of the success of "Love Call Transfer", it has become more and more popular in the circle recently.

The focus is on role play.

Things even spread from Chen Qing to Simon's ears.

The original protagonist of the film was originally Uncle Feng. Now, Li Dakuan, who has just had a big addiction in "Love Call", is also very interested in the script. After a little consideration, I decided not to interfere.

Still the same sentence, it's best to screw up, you have to accept it, and accept it hard.

Moreover, while talking, when Jiang Anqi, one of Simon's women here, approached, she casually finalized the heroine.

Jiang Anqi had studied Tsing Yi and Daoma Dan for many years before joining Nortel, which was very suitable for the setting of the heroine. What's more, Jiang Anqi, who has starred in Hollywood movies, is much more famous than the original heroine.

The male and female protagonists have been completely changed, and the once classic has a somewhat unrecognizable feeling, at least in Simon's mind.

However, it doesn't matter.

This is just for fun, and Simon really doesn't want to play too much, so that some people find that the Westeros system is also a bit big in other aspects.

Next, just be an orthodox behind-the-scenes boss in the film and television industry, just like a bubble actress.

Speaking of actresses, after Jiang Anqi came up, several other women from Simon here, Li Youhu, Teacher Yu and even Princess Xu who were also present tonight, all came up one after another. Except for the slightly reserved Teacher Yu, no one else He doesn't hide his relationship with Simon, and obviously competes for favor.

The trio of "Han Zhu Ge Ge" who didn't go home even during the Chinese New Year but stayed in the capital to continue working came over and rubbed against each other a few times.

Fortunately, they didn't fight.

Fortunately, the other tall goblins with model attributes are not here tonight, just like Zhu Momo, if Hen Tiangao, who climbed two meters straight, appeared at the reception, it would be provocative.

Because he was busy with socializing, Simon was only able to say a few words with Ren Jingxi, who hadn't stepped forward to join in the fun, until he was about to leave.

Looking at the beautiful face that was still sober but somewhat high-spirited, Simon asked with a smile, "I heard that your family has moved to Beijing?"

"Yes," Ren Jingxi nodded with a glass of red wine in his hand, and motioned to Chen Qing not far away: "Sister Chen said that."

"Um."

Ren Jingxi smiled and said, "That must be nothing good."

Simon also smiled: "Yeah, you say you are greedy."

Ren Jingxi and Simon looked at each other with bright eyes: "Speaking of this, will you be affected by sister Chen's words?"

"Yes, so you have to say more good things to yourself."

"Then, what I have done in the past year is not bad, right?"

"Be confident and remove the questioning tone."

Ren Jingxi nodded, and really changed his tone: "I did so well in the past year, you have to reward me."

"what do you want?"

Ren Jingxi tilted his head slightly, still looking at Simon: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"It's a lie, but for the sake of doing such a good job, I'll give it to you."

Ren Jingxi paused, inexplicably a little apprehensive and anticipating, trying not to avoid his gaze: "Do you know what I want?"

"Yes," Simon nodded, stretched out his hand, slid his fingertips across the girl's smooth and pretty face, and retracted before reaching the chin: "Work hard in the future and make more money for me."

Ren Jingxi unconsciously turned his head slightly again, his face seemed to be chasing the leaving fingertip, but unfortunately he had already left. Her gaze returned to meet the man's again, and she was not pretentious, and said softly, "Thank you, Simon..."

Simon interrupted: "Don't say I'm a good person, or I'll regret it."
