North America, New York!

   After finishing their trip to Japan, Chu Huan and his party left Tokyo and flew directly to New York.

  Now Chuhuan has two bases in North America, one is New York, and the other is Los Angeles.

  North America Library in New York, Apex Pictures in Los Angeles!

In fact, for Chu Huan, this trip to North America is much more important and difficult than the trip to Japan. After all, the economies of Japan and North America are not the same size at all. The opponents are also different.

  Whether it is the Mitsui family or the Sumitomo family in Japan, although they have absolute power in Japan, there is still a big gap between them and the Jewish businessmen in North America.

   If Chu Huan's situation in North America is not handled properly this time, it will easily cause the entire North American Jewish businessman to target him.

  So although the main battlefield in North America is Disney in Los Angeles, Chu Huan must first understand his business situation in North America. Only in this way can he better deal with what will happen next.

  Chu Huan and his party were picked up at the airport by the people from the North America North America Warehouse, and Chu Huan let them drive directly to his manor near Manhattan, New York.

  The decoration here is completely different from Chu Huan's manor in Japan. It is a very typical European-style manor, but it is somewhat similar to Chu Huan's manor in Los Angeles.

   "Boss, don't you really need to worry about things in Japan?"

  Wu Shuhan sat on the sofa and looked at the document in his hand, and asked Chu Huan worriedly.

  Although the acquisition of Nomura Securities, shares in Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Bank, and Kuijima Shipyard have all been completed, there is still a lot of finishing work that has not been done.

  That's why Wu Shuhan asked such a question.

Facing Wu Shuhan's question, Chu Huan said calmly: "Don't worry, don't underestimate Wu Xiaoshi and the others. If you can't even solve these things, Wu Xiaoshi won't be in her current position." !"

  Wu Shuhan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I have been in touch with Manager Wu a lot in Japan during this time, and Manager Wu is indeed a very capable manager."

"There's no need to praise her too highly. Wu Xiaoshi still has a big gap compared to those old fried dough sticks. Fortunately, she is not alone, but has the entire Jiaku team to help her. If they If there are so many people around who can't say that these things are done well, then Wu Xiaoshi should really buy a piece of Japanese tofu and kill her directly!"

   Seeing what Chu Huan said, Wu Shuhan didn't say anything.

However, Chu Huan began to tell Wu Shuhan, "This year, you still need to keep in touch with Wu Xiaoshi and David Maxwell. I think the situation in my hometown will change after this year. Japan and North America must be the first countries to enter the home market, and then you will not only be responsible for our investment in the home market, but also deal with those who enter the home market!"

At the end of this year, the conference known as changing the development direction of my hometown will be held. It can be said that after that conference, my hometown has taken a firm first step on the road of reform and opening up. There have been some back and forth, but it has been unable to change the overall situation.

  Wu Shuhan naturally didn't think that Chu Huan was talking about the meeting, and more likely thought that Chu Huan made speculations based on the development of the situation.

  So Wu Shuhan just nodded and said: "I understand, but boss, what is our main investment in our hometown now?"

  Wu Shuhan already knew how much Chu Huan valued his hometown during the process of Chu Huan's repeated emphasis, but he was still very curious about how Chu Huan planned to invest in his hometown.

  Although it has been confirmed that it will build its own factory in the Pearl River Delta region, such an investment obviously cannot match Chu Huan's current wealth and the importance Chu Huan attaches to his hometown.

  Facing Wu Shuhan's question, Chu Huan also fell into deep thought. Regarding the investment in his hometown, Chu Huan actually had a lot of ideas, but now that Wu Shuhan asked such a question, he didn't know where to start.

   "I think in the initial stage, we should put more energy on the infrastructure construction in our hometown!"

   After thinking about it seriously, Chu Huan had a definite answer in his heart.

   "Nowadays, there is a lot of waste in my hometown, and new changes will appear in the development of all walks of life, but this is not the most important thing. In the early stage, we have to focus on large-scale projects such as power plants, highways, and seaport projects."

Wu Shuhan was a little shocked by Chu Huan's thoughts, and couldn't help but said: "Boss, these projects are all long-term projects with a long construction period, slow results, high risks, and high cost, which are not in line with our current development of Jiaku! "

  Most of the industries under Chu Huan's name are projects with extremely fast return of money and high profits. Now Chu Huan is targeting these long-term projects in his hometown, which makes Wu Shuhan curious.

Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile: "My hometown is my hometown, and other places are other places. They are not the same. If we can make achievements in these industries, then our relationship with our hometown will be further improved. Consolidate, and at the same time have a better development of other industries that we are about to invest in.

  Before you also returned to my hometown with me. You have seen the situation there. There is not even a highway, which will greatly hinder the future development of our industry. "

  Wu Shuhan just put forward his own idea. Now that Chu Huan is so convinced of this matter, he doesn't say anything anymore. It is enough to develop well within the range that Chu Huan has already delineated.

   "But these projects can be said to be the key projects of my hometown. Even if we have this idea, we still need the approval of my hometown. I think this will be a very difficult process?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since you have chosen this investment direction, you don't have to worry about it. At the same time, I will also seek the opportunity to set up a bank office in my hometown in the past two years. At that time, you can make some investments selectively. As for other Yes, wait for the situation in my hometown to stabilize in the past two years, and then start to think seriously!"

The establishment of an office in his hometown must be in the name of the bank, but as I have said before, Alder Commercial Bank must have many restrictions, but this does not hinder Chu Huan's decision to establish an office of Alder Commercial Bank in his hometown .

In fact, in the early days of the reform, many foreign banks have already set up offices in their hometowns to make some commercial investments, including Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Bank of the Mitsui Consortium, and Morgan Bank in North America. They have successively established their own offices in Beijing. , to make some business ventures.

  As long as the core projects of the financial industry are not involved, the offices of these banks in their hometown have enjoyed a lot of bonuses in those years.

   According to the relationship between Chu Huan and his hometown, it is very easy for Alder Commercial Bank to set up an office in the capital.

Of course, Alder Commercial Bank is definitely not the ultimate goal for Chu Huan to enter the financial industry in his hometown. He still has to find a way to acquire or establish his own bank in Xiangjiang. At that time, that bank will be the foundation for Chu Huan to really enter the financial industry in his hometown. !

   "Understood!" Wu Shuhan nodded.

   "How is the negotiation between Xiangjiang and Citibank?" Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan.

  Before Xiangjiang came out, Chu Huan was thinking of acquiring Citicorp Bank’s shares in Far East Bank, but Sandy Aldama, the head of Citicorp Bank, didn’t quite agree with this matter at that time.

  After Chu Huan left Xiangjiang, Xu Yi was responsible for this matter.

"Sandy Aldama is still not prepared to give up the shares of Far East Bank, but according to the news from Xiangjiang, the relationship between Citicorp Bank and Qiu Degen has dropped to a freezing point, and there are even rumors that Sandy Aldama will sue Qiu Degen!"

  Wu Shuhan immediately answered Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan smiled, and said: "It's already like this, isn't Wanguobaotong planning to sell its shares in Far East Bank?"

  Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "Maybe they think they can win this lawsuit!"

  Chu Huan said: "Let Xu Yi pay close attention to this matter, and notify us as soon as there is any new progress!"

"OK!"

.

Xiangjiang, in the black and white video conference room, Liu Pingkui is leading the "Happy Ghost" crew to a meeting. It is already March. Compared with previous years, the shooting of the "Happy Ghost" series is obviously ahead of schedule. There is no other reason. This year's Liu Pingkui will be very busy, and now he has to shoot this year's series of "Happy Ghost" in advance, but because this is a summer movie specially provided for students on summer vacation.

  So the current temperature in Xiangjiang is obviously not suitable for filming this series, so Liu Pingkui directly decided to move this series to Hawaii after discussing with Huang Boming.

  Of course, there is another important reason for this, and that is because the series "Happy Ghost" has been filmed for several episodes in a row, with one episode per year, and the audience is a little fatigued.

  As an important IP of black and white video, neither Liu Pingkui nor the general manager of black and white video Fang Jianhui seems to give up this series, so new exciting points are needed to stimulate the audience.

  Nowadays, it is rare to be able to shoot Xiangjiang's movies overseas. Except for Li Xiaolong in the early days, basically other people's movies don't have this treatment.

   "Have you finished applying for everyone's passports?" Liu Pingkui sat in the first place, speaking to everyone with a smile.

Many people think that directors only need to sit in front of the camera and watch actors perform. This is because many directors in later generations do this. Relying on his fame in another field to make money!

  Anyone who writes a book, sings, even talks about cross talk, or plays Erren Zhuan can be a director.

  In the entertainment industry of later generations, there is a saying that goes, if you find a suitable executive director, even if you come here with a dog, he can be a director!

   But that is a later generation. In the current Xiangjiang entertainment industry, a director is actually an all-around talent, no matter whether he is a graduate of a major or a half-way monk.

  It can be said that the entire crew is proficient in any type of work.

   To a large extent, the director also works as a producer.

Liu Pingkui's words made everyone in the conference room laugh. About the latest episode of "Happy Ghost" going to Hawaii to shoot, I mentioned it when I signed contracts with all the actors present, and everyone has already done it in advance. Well get ready.

   "The filming this time is mainly carried out in Honolulu, Hawaii. The company has already found a hotel and a shooting location there. Now all you have to do is to familiarize yourself with the content in the script."

  Afterwards, Liu Pingkui talked to everyone about things to pay attention to after arriving in Hawaii and things like playing in advance.

   After the meeting was over, it was already three hours later.

  Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong, the two girls who are the absolute leading actors in "Happy Ghost", walked out of the conference room holding hands. Zhong Chuhong preached to Chen Yulian with some regrets.

   "It's a pity, I thought I could celebrate your eighteenth birthday with you in Xiangjiang, but I didn't expect that we would go to Hawaii to shoot, and then we can only celebrate your birthday there!"

Chen Yulian's birthday was on March 25th, and Zhong Chuhong was older than her by more than a month. On her birthday in February, Chen Yulian organized a birthday party for Zhong Chuhong. Filmed in Hawaii.

  Although Chen Yulian and others have never been to Hawaii and want to see the scenery there, they still feel a little regretful when they think that they can’t spend their eighteenth birthday with their family.

  But Chen Yulian still smiled and said: "It's okay, I heard that Hawaii is very beautiful, and then we can have a good time shopping!"

  Zhong Chuhong nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "I heard from Director Liu that Brother Huan is in North America now. You said that Brother Huan will celebrate your birthday when you celebrate your birthday?"

  Chen Yulian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How is it possible, brother Huan must be very busy in North America, how come he has time to celebrate my birthday!"

  Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said: "That's not good, isn't Brother Huan usually nice to you, maybe that day will really surprise you!"

  Chen Yulian showed a look of expectation.

.

  After other people in the meeting room left, only Liu Pingkui and Huang Boming were left here.

   "This time you go to Hawaii with me, will it delay you and Mecca writing the script of "Best Partner"?" Liu Pingkui asked Huang Boming.

   As I mentioned before, Liu Pingkui will be very busy this year. In addition to being in charge of filming the newly opened "Happy Ghost", he will also be filming the first film "Best Partner" of Xiangjiang Film Universe.

  After Chu Huan told the story of "Best Partner" to Huang Boming and Mecca, the two have been writing the script of the movie.

Huang Boming naturally knew the importance of this movie, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is the story of Mr. Chu, the script is easy to take shape, now we only need to revise some details. !"

  Liu Pingkui slumped on the chair, and said with a smile: "That's good, brother Huan attaches great importance to this movie, we can't let him down!"

  Huang Boming nodded seriously. The story that Chu Huan personally explained, he dared not be sloppy in saying anything.

   Then Huang Boming asked Liu Pingkui tentatively.

   "Director Liu, you said we will go to Hawaii for filming this time, will Director Chu visit the set?"

  Liu Pingkui shook his head and said: "Probably not, brother Huan seems to have some important things to do in North America, and probably doesn't have time!"

   After finishing speaking, Liu Pingkui looked at Huang Boming and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Huang Boming said with some disappointment: "Mr. Chu gave me the script of the movie "Best Partner", and I also want to write it until Mr. Chu is satisfied. If I can let Mr. Chu read it before the filming starts I can also know the script in my heart!"

  Liu Pingkui laughed and said, "Are you afraid that Brother Huan will blame you if the result is not good?"

  How dare Huang Boming admit this, he hurriedly said: "Of course not, I just want Director Chu to check it out!"

  Liu Pingkui comforted Huang Boming and said: "Brother Huan can give you this story, which shows that Brother Huan trusts you. You just need to use your abilities steadily!"

  What can Huang Boming say, he can only nod seriously.

   Liu Pingkui stood up at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, you should go back and clean up, I have to say hello to Mr. Fang!"

  Huang Boming nodded.

Liu Pingkui, who left the meeting room, went straight to Fang Jianhui's office. Even the entire black and white video knew the relationship between Chu Huan and Liu Pingkui, but Liu Pingkui still obeyed the company's rules in the company. Liu Pingkui left after Fang Jianhui's secretary notified him. Entered Fang Jianhui's office.

   But when Liu Pingkui came to Fang Jianhui's office, he found that there were other guests here, two men and one woman!

Two men, one looks a bit wretched, but very happy, and the other is just three simple words, handsome and noble. Even though he has been in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle for many years and has seen countless handsome men, Liu Pingkui still wants to It is said that there are very few who can surpass this man.

  A woman who looks very beautiful.

   Liu Pingkui knew the man who felt happy, and his name was Chen Boxiang!

   Liu Pingkui knows that he is currently hosting a variety show with very high ratings on TVB, which has infinitely approached "Happy Tonight". He is now a very popular host on TVB.

  The most important thing is that Liu Pingkui has heard about this person from Chu Huan, and knows that Chu Huan appreciates this Chen Boxiang very much!

   At this time, it was Chen Boxiang who was talking to Fang Jianhui.

"Mr. Fang, I really trouble you this time. Before Axiu took over the Siyuan Films film, Wu Siyuan didn't tell them that it was a salty film. Now Wu Siyuan is using the contract to talk about things. Really. It’s too much, and I hope Mr. Fang can help tell Wu Siyuan this time, can you not let Axiu and Rongzi make this movie?”

  Liu Pingkui knew Chen Boxiang, and Fang Jianhui also knew Chen Boxiang. Otherwise, how could Chen Boxiang bring a man and a woman with him to Fang Jianhui's office today.

  As the most powerful person in Hong Kong's film industry today, Fang Jianhui is not something everyone can see.

"Ah, although black and white images have some status in the Hong Kong film industry, but now Zhang Guoying and Huang Xingxiu beside you both have contracts with Siyuan Films, and both of them have contracts with TVB. Yes, you should go to Liang Risi for this matter!"

   It turned out that the two people brought by Chen Boxiang were Zhang Guoying and Huang Xingxiu.

  Zhang Guoyu was originally on Li TV, but after seeing him in Central before, Chu Huan asked Liang Risi to sign him to TVB.

In another time and space, there is no way to know when Chen Boxiang and Huang Xingxiu fell in love, but this time and space is different. Huang Xingxiu has joined TVB and participated in a variety show hosted by Chen Boxiang before. The two met through this, And Chen Boxiang also fell in love with this girl with aura at a glance, and started a vigorous pursuit. The two had just confirmed their relationship not long ago.

Just after the two confirmed their relationship, Huang Xingxiu received an invitation from Wu Siyuan. Without knowing much about the content of the film, Huang Xingxiu signed a contract with Siyuan Films to shoot the next movie invested and shot by Siyuan Films In "Spring in the Red Chamber", it turned out that the movie had salty and wet scenes only after the set, which made Huang Xingxiu very unacceptable.

   But with the contract in hand, she had no choice but to do the same with Zhang Guoyi, who signed the contract with her. At the beginning, the two of them could only bite the bullet and prepare to shoot.

  But Chen Boxiang, who has become Huang Xingxiu's boyfriend, must not be able to accept it after knowing this, so this scene happened now!

"Mr. Fang, TVB and Black and White Video are already in the same family, and in the film industry, Mr. Fang's words are definitely more effective than Mr. Liang's. This time I really have no choice, and I hope Mr. Fang can help! "

Fang Jianhui thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter. Since you already have a contract, you must follow the contract. If Wu Siyuan defaults on the remuneration of the two of them, I will definitely You can help, but if you want me to help you talk about this matter, I can't do it, black and white images can't take the lead to break the rules of Xiangjiang film and television industry!"

  Black-and-white images are now the rule-makers of the Xiangjiang film industry, and there are contracts to act according to the contracts, which itself is the rule set by black-and-white images.

  Although Fang Jianhui knew that as long as he made this call to Wu Siyuan, Wu Siyuan would definitely not say anything, but this broke the rules set by black and white images, which was equivalent to slapping himself in the face.

What's more, although Fang Jianhui knew that Chu Huan knew Chen Boxiang, Fang Jianhui didn't know what the relationship was. In Fang Jianhui's view, the three people in front of him were newcomers except Chen Boxiang, and they had no commercial value. Maybe he slapped himself in the face for the two of them!

Seeing what Fang Jianhui said was so sure, Chen Boxiang, Zhang Guoying, and Huang Xingxiu felt helpless. Although Zhang Guoying could go to his godmother Tan Ailian to pay the liquidated damages, Zhang Guoying never thought about it this way. He is a sensible person. , This is my own business, there is no need to bother my godmother.

The reason why I came here with Chen Boxiang today is mainly because Huang Xingxiu and him are brothers in difficulty. In addition, Chen Boxiang is loyal, and he met Zhang Guoying through Huang Xingxiu, and the two became friends. Now it is Huang Xingxiu. The individual was begging, and the two were also begging, so they dragged Zhang Guoyan over.

  The three of them left Fang Jianhui's office helplessly, glanced at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If Fang Jianhui didn't help, they really had nothing to do.

   "It's a pity that Director Chu is not in Xiangjiang now. If Director Chu is in Xiangjiang, he will definitely help!" Chen Boxiang said helplessly.

Zhang Guoying said: "Forget it, there is no way around it. Who let me and Axiu be fooled by the two of us with less experience, but fortunately, Axiu doesn't have those scenes in this movie, and I'm just a back That's all!"

  Chen Boxiang said to Zhang Guoyi: "Rong Zai, I will trouble you to take care of our family, Axiu, if you are in the crew from now on. If that **** Wu Siyuan dares to let A Xiulu, I will kill his whole family!"

  Huang Xingxiu looked at Chen Boxiang's ferocious expression, and tightly grasped Chen Boxiang's hand.

   "I know, Ah Le, don't worry!" Zhang Guoyi said seriously.

   Just as the three of them were about to leave, the door of Fang Jianhui's office suddenly opened, and Liu Pingkui walked out.

  Liu Pingkui didn't know Zhang Guoying and Huang Xingxiu before, but they all knew Liu Pingkui. After all, Liu Pingkui is also a top director in Xiangjiang now!

  Chen Boxiang naturally knew each other.

  The three greeted Liu Pingkui and were about to leave, but Liu Pingkui stopped them.

   "Ale, wait a minute!"

  The three of them stopped suspiciously, and turned to look at Liu Pingkui.

   Liu Pingkui said with a smile: "As for Mr. Fang, because he is in a different position, there are more things to consider. Don't blame him!"

  Chen Boxiang hurriedly said: "No, we also know the embarrassment of Mr. Fang!"

Liu Pingkui nodded and continued: "However, I heard Brother Huan talk about you before, and Brother Huan also admired you very much. You finally came here today because of your girlfriend. Mr. Fang It’s hard to say over there, I don’t have this scruple, if the three of you have nothing to do, why don’t you come to my office with me, I think Wu Siyuan should give me this face!”

  When the three of Chen Boxiang heard this, they were immediately pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that they thought it was the end of the mountain, but they didn't expect it to be bright.

   "OK, ok!"

The three immediately followed Liu Pingkui to his office. In front of the three of them, Liu Pingkui called Wu Siyuan. Sure enough, as Liu Pingkui said, after receiving Liu Pingkui's call, Wu Siyuan could only be Squeezing his scalp, he agreed to terminate the contract with Zhang Guoying and Huang Xingxiu.

   "Thank you, Director Wu. I'm going to Hawaii for filming in the next two days. When I come back from Hawaii, I will invite Director Wu to drink!"

   Liu Pingkui said with a smile.

  Wu Siyuan hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem!"

.

  At the same time, a girl came out of Hong Kong Mary Hospital. If Chu Huan saw her, she would definitely recognize her. It was the angle he had seen in the MOD club before.

   At this time, Angle was holding a test report in her hand, which showed that she was pregnant!

   "It seems that it is right to break up with that trash, but he can be regarded as a little contribution. He succeeded in getting me pregnant, but he will never know that he has such a child in his life!"

  Angle's face was full of joy, and he was thinking about the man he had broken up with before!
