Northwest Washington, in a manor in the Rich District of Williamsburg where luxury houses gather.

Late autumn season.

After getting up early, Janet pulled me to walk on the manor trail covered with red and yellow trees surrounded by thick fallen leaves. He was leisurely and did not return to the villa until 7:30 and started dining.

At eight o'clock, after breakfast, Janet went to dress and change her clothes, and Simon came to the study.

Neil Bennett appeared briefly and explained the things in Los Angeles last night. Simon just said he knew it and ignored it.

In fact, it could have been solved more simply, and even if Jamie Spears sued, it would not have had much impact on Simon. You should know that when the Hurst family made such a fuss three years ago, Simon had long lost his reputation in the public's mind, and was not afraid of such a lawsuit.

This is the world. Too harsh to good people, and even if there are flaws, you will blame them in every way. However, to bad people, especially bad people with high status, they are very tolerant, and it is natural to do anything.

Then watch the fun.

Moreover, the Westeros family's private intelligence network hacked into the other party's computer the night Jamie Spears attacked and obtained the audio evidence before the editing. Even though Spears was not too stupid to delete the audio quickly, as long as the FBI came to search, what should be included would still appear in that computer.

It will only prove to be a farce in the end.

Simon did not simply deal with complicated matters. In addition to giving Spears a lesson that he would no longer have the opportunity to reflect, he also was shock.

And in the end, it is regarded as a "practical exercise".

The Westeros family secretly raised so many people. If they didn't find something for them often, over time, it would be like an army that had not fought for a long time. It was hard to say what combat effectiveness it had.

After Neil left, Simon answered the video call with China.

Chen Qing appeared on the computer screen.

This is a conference call that was made in advance.

However, after the connection was made, Chen Qing did not talk about the serious matters directly as usual. Instead, she spoke in a gossipy tone and excitedly said some trivialities: "Boss, that Qin Buzui is very interesting."

Simon was not in a hurry, leaned on the leather chair and listened to Chen Qingbala, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, oh, I remember the last time you said that she returned to China?"

Chen Qing was full of affection: "Yes, when she returned to China, she took two foreign maids back to her hometown in Sichuan, saying that she was visiting the graves to pay tribute to her deceased grandparents. She was a very filial girl, right?"

Simon knew that things would definitely not be that simple, and smiled and waited for Chen Qing to continue.

"But in fact, this is a female Count of Monte Cristo. When she goes back, she will take revenge," Chen Qing raised her hand slightly with interest. When she said this, she paused and kept a little shut. Then she continued: "It is true to sweeping the graves and paying homage to grandparents, but it is also a cover. She took two foreign girls in the small town in her hometown for three days, and finally waited for her mother and...well, she was the nominal stepfather."

"Then what?"

"Then it's a fight."

Simon looked bored: "It sounds very low-end."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "No, boss, imagine that a very beautiful mother and daughter fight together completely regardless of their image. Wow, isn't it exciting enough?"

As he said this, Chen Qing was like a magic trick, taking out a photo and showing it to the camera.

In the photo, there is obviously a mother and daughter standing side by side. They are dressed according to Chinese standards and are also considered fashionable.

However, looking at the expressions, it is obviously a bit unnatural.

She looked a little cowardly and a little flattering, as if she was forced to do so. The mother looked over thirties, with a fair face, and had a pair of attractive peach blossom eyes. She looked a little similar to Qin Buzui, and she was tall at level 1.8. However, the woman had a gentle temperament that seemed to be weak and uncontrollable.

The girl next to her looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old.

It’s obviously not Qin Buzui, but I think he should be half-sister.

Looking at the photos, it is hard to imagine such a stunning woman who would hang up and fight with her daughter regardless of her image.

Thinking about it a little, it's really exciting.

Chen Qing on the opposite side deliberately did not explain too much to the photo, but just blinked her eyes and reminded her: "Oh, by the way, boss, don't worry, the mother and daughter both have good faces and are not caught. Qin Buzui's neck was caught several times, not serious, and the kind that cannot leave scars."

Simon finally had a little curiosity: "Why are you fighting?"

"This is the most exciting part," Chen Qing was almost out of a haunt in her hand: "Let's talk about the surname of this family first. Qin Buzui's surname is Qin, her biological father's surname is Zheng, and her stepfather's surname is Zhang, and her mother's surname is Wei, oh, that's it, her name is Wei Mu," Chen Qing said as she showed the photo of the woman just now, and then changed the subject a little: "But Qin Buzui's grandfather's surname is Guan, and asked, boss, guess whose surname Qin Buzui is with?"

"grandmother."

Chen Qing looked surprised: "Boss, how do you know?"

"You're the only one who's left her grandmother doesn't say anything."

Chen Qing suddenly realized, feeling that she had made a mistake and stuck out her tongue, and then said, "So, just look at these surnames, boss, you won't be able to guess how many stories there are."

"Forget it, I'm not that idle."

Chen Qing suddenly showed a resentful expression, looking like you are not interested in boss, Barra said: "I have learned about this in the past few days... Well, it should be the Guan family's business. I want Jinshu to make a TV series, and it is no worse than the "Bao Mansion" being prepared."

Simon dragged his voice a little: "Hmm..."

Chen Qing immediately returned to the topic: "In name, she went back to pay tribute to her grandparents, but in fact, she went back to take revenge. Qin Buzui's grandmother died of illness three years ago. Although it was not direct, she was actually annoyed by her daughter's making trouble all day long. After Qin's grandmother passed away, her grandfather left only a month later. The reason was for a set of jewelry."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing picked up the cup next to her and sucked it, moistening her throat, and then continued: "Boss, it's a pity that you don't listen to the past. Qin Buzui's grandfather, the Guan family, was a big warlord in Sichuan before liberation. He was rich and powerful. Later, even after experiencing many things, he still left some things, including a set of jewelry by Qin Buzui's grandmother. The old couple had a rift with their daughter and pampered their granddaughter. Wei Mu didn't get anything when he got married twice, and planned to leave it all for Qin Buzui as a dowry."

Seeing that Chen Qing was about to stop him again, Simon followed her tone: "What about?"

"It was nothing before. It was almost the same as having money or not in those days. Although Wei Mu was angry, he endured it. About three years ago, Wei Mu's second-married husband was originally working in the agency and planned to quit his job and go into business. Now this is popular in China, and then he needs money. Wei Mu was encouraged by his husband, and he felt that he was losing money, so he kept coming to the door to make trouble, which made the old couple die. Qin Buzui buried his grandparents with the help of his relatives and ran away from home. He didn't go back a few days ago."

Chen Qing said, paused a little before continuing: "Wi Mu heard that her daughter was back, and her husband who was going to open a textile factory was facing difficulties in business. He was being ticked by a bank for debt and urgently needed money, so he took a large group of people to catch Qin Buzui. If Qin Buzui hadn't deliberately brought two foreign maids, it would have been expected that the woman would have caught her daughter and sold her. Of course, she would have to squeeze out the jewelry first. As a result, because there were foreign guests at the scene and worried about an international dispute, the police soon appeared. Boss, you don't know. The Lincoln Off-road car that Qin Buzui drove to was smashed. There was no one knowing this car in the small place there. The little girl obviously did it on purpose. She just did an assessment today and it would cost more than one million yuan to repair it. Wei Mu and her husband named Zhang couldn't afford to sell all their money."

After saying this, Chen Qing slightly sucked the appetite of her boss and raised the photo again: "Hey, this is compensation, a couple."

Simon didn't comment. He liked to collect beautiful women, but he also had a very high immunity. He just nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay, after the story is told, let's talk about the serious matter."

When Chen Qing heard his boss say this, she didn't bother her. She calmed down her expression and pulled over a thick folder next to her, and then said: "Boss, you should have seen the notice of the deadline reform of the Ministry of Radio and Television in China, right?"

Simon nodded.

It is also about the theater networking and theater reform in the film industry in mainland China.

When he was in China a few days ago, Chen Qing mentioned that the other side might have launched relevant documents while others were in the mainland, but unfortunately the plan could not keep up with the changes. The worst "Westero effect" in these years caused Simon to leave Asia. On Friday, the Ministry of Radio and Television of China issued the policy document "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Cinema Mechanism in the Film Industry and the Network of Computer Tickets in the Cinemas".

There are only two core lines of the document. All cinemas at county level and above in China must complete the establishment of theaters before December 31, 1997 and realize the online ticket sales of computers. For cinemas that have expired and not completed the reform, as a punishment, starting from 1998, imported copies will no longer be provided.

Yes, the penalty condition is that no longer the imported copy is provided.

It seems a bit strange, but it is actually helpless.

The main reason is that if local governments insist on not rectifying the situation, because each province has its own production companies, and studios in other provinces can provide film sources, and it also involves the jobs of many film and television practitioners. It is difficult for the radio and television department to impose too compulsory punishments.

However, only China Film Group, which is also in the process of integrating imported films, can provide them at this stage, and is controlled by the Radio and Television Department. Moreover, although there are only ten films a year, imported films have occupied a large share in the domestic film market in recent years. Therefore, if faced with this punishment, many theaters in various parts of China cannot bear the business conditions at all, and can only carry out reforms.

Speaking of which, China did not completely complete the reform of the theater system until 2003. This time, it is undeniable that it was indeed six years ahead of schedule with Simon's continuous efforts.

However, the reason why it was successful was that these changes did not touch on some sensitive issues in the field of Chinese film and television culture, such as censorship or grading, but were just changes in the economic industrial structure itself. In China, after making these changes, it is still entirely up to you to make a type of movie, how to review the movie, how to correct it if it wants to be released, and even which movies cannot be released.

As for the increase in the quota of imported films involving the Westeros system, Simon didn't mention it at the beginning.

Because it is clear that before the WTO, it is destined to be futile.

Therefore, there is no need to do useless work, and it will make both parties unhappy.

In history, in 2003, the highest-grossing film in China, "Mobile Phone", had a box office of only 53 million yuan, and no movie exceeded 100 million yuan in the whole year. In 2004, after all the theater reforms were completed, "Kung Fu" and "The Ambush of Ten" and "The World Without Thieves" emerged in just one year. This is actually the power after industrial standardization.

It may not be easy for the theater to secretly hide the box office, but anyone with a little bit of intelligence should understand that this is a win-win situation.

Regarding this matter, Simon just talked to Chen Qing about Jinshu Academy.

After the second batch of 20 flagship theaters distributed in core cities across China are completed in the next two years, including the first two, they can basically form a national theater chain. Of course, due to China's industry regulations, they can only cooperate with China Film.

Then, the second thing is.

"I just attended the meeting of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications during the day. The latest resolution is that China Telecom will conduct another divestiture and integration. First, relying on China Telecom's Hong Kong branch as a supporter, China Mobile will be established, mainly engaged in mobile communications business. The remaining China Telecommunications will once again divestiture the fixed telephone business and form a brand new China Telecommunications company. The operation model will be similar to that of mobile, first establishing branches in Hong Kong, and then using financing to place assets in each province in batches. However, this time, China Telecom will mainly vigorously develop network broadband services based on the landline business, and it is not in a hurry to go public, but will first conduct a private equity financing. In addition, in addition to our American Online and Soros' quantum funds, a group of Hong Kong investors will be introduced, and the financing scale will be increased to US$3 billion."

In the study room.

After hearing Chen Qing's general introduction, Simon was not surprised that a group of Hong Kong investors suddenly appeared.

In the current situation, this move can be considered a one-shot victory.

Nodding, Simon asked another key question: "What provinces and regions are the assets that were first placed in this time?"

"It hasn't been decided yet," Chen Qing said and laughed again: "I didn't have confidence in the last IPO, and I was afraid of taking responsibility if I failed. I was reluctant. This time, I was fighting and I was fighting for it, and someone found me here. However, probably the same as last time, the first batch will only be placed in three or four provinces for the time being, and there will not be too many."

Simon also smiled: "I guess, at least, there is one in Jiangsu and one in Zhejiang."

Chen Qing bent her eyes: "The boss is so smart."

"There is also Guangdong, the location is special?"

Guangdong is close to Hong Kong and Macao, and is the largest open window.

Chen Qing probably thought of some fun scenes, and almost laughed out loud, covering her mouth: "I happened to talk about it today, and someone started arguing at the scene, saying that Guangdong had taken such a big advantage last time. Moreover, there is no shortage of money there. Even if the first batch of places cannot be obtained, their broadband network construction will not be behind, and other provinces may not be necessary."

Simon thought about it for a moment and understood it.

It's still a matter of money.

The provinces and regions that are first placed in will definitely get the money first, so that they can develop related businesses earlier and faster. Otherwise, they will fall behind one step further and fall behind one step further. In addition, they have already had the success of the last time, so all parties will definitely try their best to achieve this time.

However, Simon could roughly judge.

In addition to the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the remaining one or two places will basically be provinces with the highest economic strength. If they are too remote and backward, giving money now is equivalent to a waste. In addition, Beijing, Shanghai and other places will not be included. In addition to their special political and economic status, there is also no shortage of money, just like Guangdong, which was opposed by Chen Qing's words.

I talked about some details, and then the third thing.

About Hong Kong.
