Chapter 1116 Returning the Pearl(1/2)

Today is Tuesday, March 25th.

The day after the 69th Academy Awards, however, the focus of the media today is no longer the results of the Oscars in previous years, but the Nasdaq Index that collapsed yesterday.

It was less than 9 o'clock on the west coast when Simon boarded the plane, and it was already noon on the east coast.

The U.S. stock market opened today, and a miracle did not happen. After yesterday's decline of 7.9% throughout the day triggered the first circuit breaker in Nasdaq's history, the Nasdaq fell by more than 5% at one point in the trading period of two and a half hours in the morning, reaching a minimum of 6079 points.

It fell by nearly 1,000 points in two days, with a cumulative decline of more than 14%, which also set a record for the Nasdaq decline.

Except for a few short sellers who have been in the current situation, the stock market crash has damaged the interests of almost everyone. Therefore, neither Wall Street nor Silicon Valley nor Washington have been sitting still, but have taken various measures to stabilize the market as much as possible.

This morning, Microsoft, which triggered the stock market crash, announced its first-quarter growth forecast in data center business in advance, hoping to recover some declines.

After all, it was a loss, and Microsoft's press release was also recommended by the front page of the Igrit portal.

Tim Berners Lee, Jeff Bezos, John Chambers, Steve Case and other big names in new technology industries have also been interviewed by media, promoting the booming development of the Internet industry from all angles, emphasizing the changes in this field in all aspects of human society in recent years, and trying to reverse the public opinion attacks on the new technology bubble by traditional paper media that have been suppressed for many years.

In Washington, the Federal Reserve has once again emphasized that there is no plan to raise interest rates in order to stabilize the confidence of the capital market.

However, under the general trend, these efforts are in vain.

Not long after Simon boarded the plane, he even called the White House. Clinton tried to test whether he could personally endorse the Internet industry, and Simon chose to refuse.

Because it's useless.

This time, the Nasdaq went higher than its peak in 2000, which was destined to have a more turbulent decline during its collapse.

Simon came out to endorse the letter, but he couldn't change the result, and would only make himself messed up.

After hanging up the phone, Simon thought for a while and sent an email to the heads of various companies to calm people's hearts. He asked everyone to do their jobs conscientiously and not to pay too much attention to the rise and fall of the stock price in the short term.

After dealing with various affairs for more than an hour, Simon asked Girl A to call Ren Jingxi in.

After signing to enter Ren Jingxi, she sat down on the sofa opposite her desk? Simon did not deliberately look at the other party's face, but her red eyes were red. She lowered her head while continuing to read a draft agreement on the Rifny Free Trade Zone from Ukraine. She asked, "Have you seen Qiong Yao's works?"

Seeing that the man did not look at him, Ren Jingxi relaxed a little and nodded, "I've seen it."

"How does it feel?"

"I like some of my early works? For example, Outside the Window."

Simon said without comment: "This is the thing. I have opened some media businesses in China. I originally wanted to cooperate with Qiong Yao. Unfortunately, I don't like the several projects submitted there? I happened to have an idea? I was planning to find someone to do it myself."

When a man talks about serious matters? Ren Jingxi gradually relaxed. He looked up at Simon behind the desk? Listen carefully.

To summarize the truth, there is only one sentence: the famous "My Fair Princess" was also dropped by a butterfly.

After Simon collected some memories, he remembered that "My Fair Princess" was an idea that Aunt Qiong Yao accidentally had when she passed by Princess's grave, and then she developed a ratings miracle.

This time, there was obviously no more enlightenment.

Simon is not interested in Qiong Yao's other works? He was originally considering asking a gunman to re-enter "My Fair Princess" during this period? He happened to meet Ren Jingxi? It would be okay to try it.

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Simon continued: "There is a princess tomb in Beijing, do you know?"

Ren Jingxi shook her head.

She is from Shandong and is in Tianjin? After her mother's affairs last year, she spent the New Year with her family and officially started working. She followed Zhu Momo to participate in the four major fashion weeks. She never stayed in Beijing for a few days, and the activity area was limited to the surroundings of the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

The Gongzhu Tomb is located in the western suburbs of Beijing. Due to the urban transformation, I can only say the road signs and are no longer considered a tourist attraction.

"There are several statements about the Princess' tomb. I only take one of them, saying it is the tomb of a adopted daughter of Qianlong." Simon explained briefly and got to the point: "The story starts here. According to Qiong Yao's romance template, the romantic Qianlong went on a tour in a very short dress many years ago and met a talented woman on the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan. Well, the woman's surname is Xia, Xia Yuhe. The two fell in love with each other and gave them a lifelong life. Qianlong returned to the capital urgently because of the border war. Before leaving, he promised to pick up the woman into the palace. However, the state affairs were busy, and he forgot about this. After Happy, the woman who gave birth to a daughter for Qianlong did not wait until her death. Many years later, let her daughter, Ziwei, and Xia Ziwei, come to Beijing to recognize her relatives..."

"... In this way, Xiaoyanzi was regarded as daughter by Qianlong and named the Condor Heroes..."

Inside the cabin study.

Simon said this, looked up and saw Ren Jingxi's face with a strange look, and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Ren Jingxi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The title of the emperor's daughter in the Qing Dynasty is still a princess, not a princess. Princess is a general term for the daughter of the prince, and there is a fixed title."

Seeing Ren Jingxi being careful and unable to help correcting her mistakes, Simon deliberately stared at her with a domineering tone and pretending to be displeased: "Are you teaching me?"

Ren Jingxi shook her head quickly, became even more nervous, lowered her head and said, "No, I'm not."

I still feel a little regretful.

The expression on her face just now was because she discovered that a man with a foreign appearance could smoothly brainstorm a Chinese costume romance story, and she was surprised.

Then, because of some instinctive pride, he subconsciously picked the thorn.

I really want to swallow the words back.

He, a foreigner, can only be described as a genius. Some mistakes and omissions are understandable. Where can she be qualified to make comments on it at will?

Simon looked at the girl opposite who was almost quenching herself into the sofa, but unexpectedly, she was really scared to make a joke. She thought about it, knocked on the table twice, and said, "Come here."

Ren Jingxi stood up obediently, saw the man signaling her to her side, and walked over nervously.

"Take off your coat and shoes."

Ren Jingxi paused and blushed.

Then he was held in his arms by a man.

Holding the girl's slender waist and body lingering, Simon picked up the pen with his other hand, looked at the thick draft of the Free Trade Agreement on the table again, and asked with a curl of the corner of his mouth: "Is your brain less smart now?"

Ren Jingxi understood that he was just joking with him.

But how could she know his true character?

It's really a bit scary.

What's more, at this time... However, when the man asked, she quickly whispered like a mosquito and flies.

I will definitely not pick him again.

Because my brain is really not enough, it's buzzing.

Simon then continued, spent a few minutes roughly passing the story, and finally asked, "How is it?"

Ren Jingxi still had a faint blush on her face, but she calmed down and said, "A great story."

"It should be a very Qiong Yao story."

"Um."

"Oh, the unintentional earthlings."

“…”

"Did you hear something just now?"

"Um."

"If you don't want to be silenced by me, forget it."

"Um."

"Okay, let's continue to talk about serious business. You say you want to do things, and it seems that you are good at writing articles. This is more suitable for you. However, it is difficult to meet some of your expectations just by being a screenwriter, so you can go a step further. I'll give you 6 million yuan, RMB, don't think about US dollars, and make this "My Fair Princess". Just like Qiong Yao, you personally serve as the screenwriter and producer, form a team by yourself, supervise filming, and future distribution. After completing this process, you will successfully enter the media industry and be a gold medal producer in the future, which will be enough to earn everything you want for you, and you won't have to be my vase."

After hearing Simon's words, Ren Jingxi was both yearning and entangled: "I can just write the story, and I don't know how to write the screenwriter, let alone produce."

"Do you know what I highly value?"

"What?"

"The best ones are hard," Simon said: "I don't understand many fields since the development of Westeros system, but I can let other people who know the knowledgeable. All you need to do in person is to write the story. As for the script, you can hire professional screenwriters, subsequent directors, actors, etc. If you hold 6 million in your hand and don't know how to spend it, then be better to make a vase beside me."

Ren Jingxi wanted to nod, hesitated, and said, "But it shouldn't be that simple?"

"Ha, the easiest job to do in any country and region is the producer. The most difficult job to do is to do, and the same producer. The easiest is that as long as you have money, anyone can make the film and television program you want as a producer. The difficulty is that even if a person invests twelve minutes of energy, he may not be able to make a good work recognized by the market or awards. As for you, if you want to do it, because you lack the foundation, you must learn a lot while doing it. If you want to do it well, you need to pay double or even triple time and energy than a professional, and you may not necessarily get good results."

Ren Jingxi subconsciously shrank her neck and felt a little relieved.

Mainly worried about screwing up.

6 million, even if it is RMB, even a few months ago, it was a huge sum that she might never make in her life. Moreover, what is more important is the project itself, which is a story he conceived by the Hollywood tycoon himself. If it is screwed up, she is not sure if she still has the courage to stay by his side.

Simon waited for a moment but received no response. He turned his head slightly and looked at the expression of the woman in his arms: "Are you scared?"

Ren Jingxi nodded honestly: "I don't know anything, I will definitely mess it up."

"It seems that you haven't understood your situation or advantages yet."

"Um?"

"It's not that I'll give you some money, and nothing else is asking you to make a TV series in China. This project must be affiliated with Jinshu Media. Since I was with Momo before, I think you should know about this company?"

"Know."

"Speak Well" that is still being released in China by Momo, which is produced by this company.

"So, after you take over, Jinshu Media's team can assist you in completing it no matter what you need. If you don't understand, you can also find professionals to give you guidance. Even if you want to be lazy, you only need to be responsible for paying money, Jinshu Media can help you with the whole process."

"Then... why do you still want to find me?"

Ren Jingxi blurted out like this and then felt a little regretful.

Isn't this nonsense?

Simon pinched somewhere on the woman and smiled and said, "Because you are my woman and are willing to do things, I asked you to take charge of this project. Others may not have such opportunities in their entire lives. So, think carefully about how lucky you are to meet me, and remember to be grateful every night before going to bed."

"Um."
To be continued...
