Chapter 1023 In China (7) (Repair)
The next morning, Beijing Chengnan Railway Station near Temple of Heaven Park.
Zhu Momo, who did not go to the performance class today, personally picked up a sign with his aunt Mo Wuling's name to pick him up. Because he was too tall and eye-catching, he soon noticed another tall and eye-catching figure of a woman who was also very tall and eye-catching in the abortion of the departure. He quickly brought Jill Pector and Zhao Annie to meet him.
When he came close, Zhu Momo showed a cute smile on his face. He opened his arms and wanted to hug the woman in a black jacket and tight pencil pants in front of him. However, the other party opened his little paws and slapped him: "I want to pick up the new student recently. Do you know how busy I am? Clean up and go to Tianjin with me first, and then whatever my sister wants is your own business."
Obviously not the first time Zhu Momo, who had seen his aunt's tone, was not guilty at all. He pestered him forward and held the other person's arm and said, "Auntie, listen to my explanation."
"I have the ability to lie to your mother, but I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. I don't want to listen to the truth or lies."
Mo Wuling said, but he did not leave Zhu Momo anymore, and couldn't help but look at Jill Pecket and Zhao Annie, who were obviously here with Zhu Momo.
Jill and Zhao Annie also looked at the woman who was also 1.8 meters tall and capable in front of her, who was wearing high heels and was somewhat similar to Zhu Momo's appearance. Jill first reached out and greeted in Chinese: "Hello, Miss Mo, I am Jill, Momo's assistant."
When Mo Wuling heard Jier's obvious self-introduction, he became more and more confused in his eyes, and he still reached out to greet him: "I am Mo Wuling, Momo's aunt."
Then he shook hands with Annie Zhao and greeted him.
As the four of them spoke, almost all the people around the exit of the station looked here. Two tall women, one blonde girl, even Annie Zhao, had a clear difference in clothing and temperament from those around her. To be more appropriate, they were just the cranes that stood out or were four eye-catching white cranes.
Zhu Momo felt the attention of the people around him. Although he was not nervous, he immediately said after his aunt and Jill greeted him: "Auntie, let's leave first, the car is outside."
Mo Wuling hesitated a little and did not object. The four of them left the station. Seeing an Mercedes-Benz S-Class that Zhao Annie personally opened the door, Mo Wuling, who knew the price of the luxury car, frowned slightly, and was even more confused. After getting on the bus and leaving the railway station area, Mo Wuling, who was sitting in the back seat, finally asked her 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 some time ago that I had a boyfriend, who is very rich."
"Oh," Mo Wuling nodded without comment. The eldest sister suddenly called her to come and grab the niece. Others, except for praying Momo to be shortlisted for the Elite Model Competition in the past few months, she didn't know more about it, so she asked: "Then why did you come back from the United States and lie to your mother?"
"I...sorry," Zhu Momo pretended to be shy: "Last time I told my mother that I was receiving training in the United States, but suddenly I came back, which was very shameless."
Mo Wuling keenly noticed the logic in it and said directly: "Let's lie."
If there is nothing hidden, what's the big deal about returning from the United States.
Zhu Momo tried to defend himself: "I don't..."
"I won't listen to your nonsense," Mo Wuling interrupted Zhu Momo's words and said, "Today is Monday, I only took one morning off. I will either let me see your so-called boyfriend or go to Tianjin with me."
In the front row of the sedan, Jill and the two girls listened to Zhu Momo's conversation in the back row, and both 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 was a little curious, so I was looking forward to it, and I didn’t know how the other party would react after knowing some inside story.
Mo Wuling heard Zhu Momo chatter and talk about his experience in recent months along the way, without saying anything more. Until he came to the courtyard of Maoer Hutong and looked at the narrow and cramped alleys around, Mo Wuling couldn't help but frown slightly again.
Zhu Momo, who had just got off the car, noticed his aunt's expression and couldn't help but bala: "Auntie, don't look so crowded outside, it's so big inside, and the neighborhood is also very famous. Lao Jiang, Mao Dun, Hong Chengchou, and the last queen have lived here. Even this house is very famous. It was originally the mansion of a first-rank official in the Qing Dynasty. Later, Feng Guozhang lived here, that's the one, um..."
Zhao Annie looked at Zhu Xueshao and started to stumble, so she had to add: "Feng Guozhang, the three heroes of Beiyang, and the leader of the direct warlords, once served as vice president of the Republic of China."
Wish Momo Chicken Pecking Rice: "Yes."
As he said that, he had already entered the door, but as soon as he walked around the screen wall and came to the front yard, he was stopped by two female guards in black uniforms who walked out of the room next to him. One of them looked at Zhu Momo and said, "Miss Zhu, you should understand the rules in the yard. Without permission, you cannot bring any outsiders in."
Mo Wuling looked at the two girls in front of her with a bit of military aura and did not interrupt.
Zhu Momo, who felt a little embarrassed, was a little anxious: "This is my aunt."
The female guard looked at Mo Wuling and said, "You can call Miss Chen, otherwise... Miss Zhu, please don't make us embarrassed."
This means, let alone my aunt, even if my mother comes, she can’t enter the yard.
Come again!
Zhu Momo remembered the reprimanded by Chen Qing last night for returning home late, and this situation happened again today. Well, actually... she also knew the rules, and just wanted to deal with this matter quietly, so she didn't say hello to Chen Qing.
I was a little confused and had to take out my cell phone and dial Chen Qing's number.
There was no difficulty there. After saying a few words, he got permission. The female guard who blocked the road took Zhu Momo's phone and confirmed with Chen Qing in person. Then he nodded and let go. He turned around and returned to the room next to the street. When Mo Wuling was pulled into the Chuanhua Gate by his niece, he turned his head and took a look. The gatehouse facing the street in Siheyuan was originally a temporary reception and the servants lived. This was changed to the guard's duty room, and Mo Wuling also saw the surveillance screen.
So my mood became more and more strange.
Zhu Momo was actually a little heartless in his temperament. The main reason was that if he didn't do this, he might go crazy when facing his mother since he was a child. So he forgot about the unhappiness when entering the door. He continued to take his aunt into the inner courtyard and came to his room. He sat down with the other person, and while serving tea and water attentively, he said, "How is it, it's big here, but it's only half. The garden next door is as big as here. Aunt, you can take a break first and take you to see later."
Mo Wuling said to Jill and the others without comment: "Can you let me talk to Momo alone?"
Jill, who followed the door to help entertain the hospitality, nodded and turned away.
After the two of them closed the door, Mo Wuling looked directly at Zhu Momo and hit the nail on the head: "Momo, are you being kept by someone?"
"ah……"
Zhu Momo was stunned and almost threw out the expensive Ru kiln celadon teacup in his hand.
Is this... too direct?
Seeing her niece's reaction, Mo Wuling got up, walked to the phone in a corner of the living room, picked up and started dialing.
Zhu Momo finally reacted and quickly put down his cup and walked forward. However, he raised his hand, but he didn't know what to do. He had to ask knowingly: "Auntie, who are you... calling?"
"Your mother," Mo Wuling said bluntly: "I can't control this matter, let your mother pick you up."
"No, aunt, let's..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone was connected and he noticed the voice of his mother faintly from the microphone. Zhu Momo felt that he was crying but not crying, and his temperament was instantly depressed, like a kitten dripping from heavy rain.
...
In Xidan, Beijing, I hung up the phone call from Zhu Momo suddenly. Chen Qing, who didn't think much, walked towards Luo Qian, president of Jinshu Media, and senior executives of Zhongying, who were in a newly completed building near Xidan Mall, which was very popular in the 1990s.
The first multi-hall theater in Jinshu Academy Line is determined here.
According to the plan, this multi-hall theater, temporarily named China Film Jinshu Cinema, will occupy the five, six, seven, and three floors of this 12-story comprehensive commercial building, and plans to build China's first five-star multi-hall theater with a total of eight halls that can accommodate 2,000 viewers. Of course, at this stage, China does not have a relevant rating for the theater, which is just a future publicity stunt.
As for the holdings, Jinshu Academy only holds 35% of the shares of China Film Jinshu Cinema, and does not require an official license to be up to 49%. In addition, China Film accounts for 30%, and the owner of the building property accounts for another 35%. Moreover, this building belongs to a state-owned enterprise in Beijing and a Hong Kong investor, with half of the shares, so half of the last 35% of the shares are also considered state-owned.
A very complicated equity relationship.
However, although the Westeros system has made concessions in equity, it actually has more layouts.
First is the third floor property of the building.
The Westeros system invested 55 million yuan to buy ownership of the property through a Hong Kong company, because both state-owned and Hong Kong investors were eager to recover funds. Moreover, if you want to build a synchronized city, you still need to make major changes to the internal structure of the third-floor property. It is also not easy to do anything else in the future. In order to control risks, you can immediately recover large amounts of funds. This business hit it off.
After receiving 55 million, the property owner of the building turned to invest in the cinema with a budget of 20 million, investing 7 million yuan.
As property owners, the shell company of Westeros system subleases the third floor property to the cinema project, which is considered a long-term investment and some kind of invisible control of the theater.
In addition, of course, it also means investment.
The development cost of this 12-story building is 180 million yuan. The price of Simon's property obtained is only over 20% higher than the cost. It is very cost-effective. It will be easy to increase the value several times in ten years. Another situation is avoided, that is, as the prices of real estate in China continue to rise, the cinema has become a place for landlords to work.
By then, all the shareholders of the three companies will still work for Simon.
On the contrary, Jinshu Academy has made great concessions in terms of shareholding, and in exchange, it has also obtained the operating rights of the cinema.
Even including names.
China Film originally hoped that the company's name would be "China Film Jinshu Academy Line". It was also because of the voluntary concessions of Jinshu Academy Line and as China began to promote the reform of the theater system, in addition to this cooperation, China Film itself also intends to establish a theater company, so it did not forcefully intervene.
As for Jinshu Academy, there are actually only two projects under development.
There is one in Xidan, Beijing, and another cinema is in Shanghai. It is roughly the same model, holding a small amount of shares, buying out the property, and obtaining operation rights. In fact, what Simon wants to do the most is the Wanda Cinema model, which is built by itself, and it will blossom nationwide. However, even if the later Wanda and Jinyi theaters are very successful, it is actually just an exception. Most cinemas in China are mainly leasing and renovating.
In fact, there are also plans for self-built cinemas in the Westeros system, such as the planned Levison International Center, which will reserve space for the cinemas.
This is also the reason why Simon chose Beijing's first cinema in Xidan and other areas on the east side of the Forbidden City. Levison International Center is there to avoid internal competition. However, the development cycle of the Levison International Center project is relatively long, and the commercial center project that will also be launched nationwide in the plan cannot be completed overnight.
It is impossible for Jinshu Academy to wait that long, so there is a need to make a choice.
In the plan, after the two pilot cinemas are successful, the Jinshu Academy will be launched nationwide. It is planned to build at least 20 luxury cinemas in major key cities in China by 2000, truly forming a national chain of "Jinshu Academy".
In the morning, we discussed the planning of China Film Jinshu Cinema with the project team and had a meal together at noon. In the afternoon, Chen Qing rushed to the Beijing Data Center project site on the Chaobai River in the northeastern suburbs of Beijing.
After the project was finalized in April, under the green light, the main building of the data center here has started construction and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Internal equipment installation will be carried out in the first half of next year and is expected to be officially opened next summer.
After Lin Su attended the seminar on the development of the information industry by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications last Friday, although the formal policy measures have not been released, several important domestic newspapers have begun to release news in recent days. Telecommunications companies under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will increase investment in Internet infrastructure again in the future, significantly reduce network access costs, and further promote the rapid development of the information industry.
Although the Shanghai data center, which has been officially launched, is mainly aimed at enterprises, governments and university users, it is surprising that although China's network access users have just exceeded 3 million as of August, Shanghai data centers have quickly become saturated in recent months.
Even Simon was a little surprised.
However, this has greatly enhanced Igrit's confidence in the Beijing data center project.
After such a busy day, Lin Su, who was invited as a "follower" to attend a high-standard investment reception held by a municipal government, returned to Maoer Hutong at about 10 o'clock. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by someone.
