When the knock on the door sounded, Jiang Shanwu had been busy for more than an hour, and it was around six o'clock in the morning.

This is also a manor in San Lucas, Mexico.

Chen Qing is pregnant and is not suitable for travel for the time being, so she sent Jiang Shanwu over this time. On the one hand, she gave her gifts to her boss, and later she would go to New York to deal with some work matters on behalf of Chen Qing.

After agreeing, Jiang Shanwu cut off the laptop page and closed the internal information on several major smuggling cases that China is investigating recently. The door has been pushed open, and the mother and daughter who came in was a big and a little girl. Because it looked very similar, you could recognize that kind at a glance.

Jiang Shanwu turned around with a swivel chair against the wall, and looked at the woman pulling her little girl with a frown: "What's going on so early?"

The woman's name is Lu Chunxia, ​​she looks in her thirties, nearly 1.7 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and black casual pants, and a diamond-shaped face that looks naturally arrogant and cold, even looks like a supermodel.

However, in front of Jiang Shanwu, the woman did not have the coldness given by her face and figure, but was a little humble. She noticed Jiang Shanwu's frowning details and was obviously even more nervous and said softly: "Miss Jiang, I heard from Xiao Yu that she would go back today and go back to China?"

Xiao Yu is Yu Tingyu.

Because he was very fond of his boss and was very satisfied with Chen Qing, he rushed over with permission, mainly responsible for a group of women this time.

Jiang Shanwu understood the woman's intention by just one sentence, and said directly: "If the boss likes one, he will stay. Everyone else will go back. Well, just like that, go out."

Lu Chunxia did not go out, but subconsciously stepped forward: "Miss Jiang, that, Mr. Westeros, obviously likes me, and Wei Rui," the woman said and pulled her daughter toward her: "Can you help me and let us stay in the United States."

Jiang Shanwu frowned again, raised her hand to signal the woman to step forward. When she got closer, she also bent down and raised her hand to twitch: "Don't you understand what I just said, get out."

The woman was a little confused by the sudden blow. She covered her face and looked at Jiang Shanwu leaning on the swivel chair. She didn't dare to hold any grudges in her eyes. She only had some tears and was still begging. She hesitated for a moment. Seeing Jiang Shanwu raise her hand again, she had to take another step back and pull her girl out of the door slowly.

Sending away the woman who didn't understand the rules, Jiang Shanwu turned to her desk again. After a while, she saw that the time was about the same, and she left the room with a stack of information and came to the restaurant on the main building.

Simon just sat down in the restaurant, and Lee Boo-jin who stayed here for a weekend.

After saying hello, Jiang Shanwu put the stack of information at his boss's hand and introduced it in Chinese: "Boss, these are the data of several smuggling cases that have been recently investigated in China, as well as the internal information archives we have sorted out through our own channels."

Simon did not turn it open immediately and said, "I will take the plane to see it later, let's take a seat together."

Jiang Shanwu agreed, sat around the other side of the dining table, ordered breakfast, ignored Li Fuzhen's dissatisfied look next to him, and continued: "Boss, where are the women placed this time, or the boss will choose some to stay, and send them back to China?"

Jiang Shanwu was still speaking Chinese, but Li Fuzhen seemed to understand something and glanced at him suspiciously.

Jiangshanwu still ignores it.

"Go back, you're all here and there's nothing to do for them," Simon said, remembering again, and saying, "Aren't you going to New York? It's okay to take them to play for a few days."

Jiang Shanwu’s idea was that she didn’t want to take them to play. She went to work, but she agreed without hesitation: “Okay, boss.”

Simon remembered something and asked: "I recently saw that the college campus plan in Changping, Beijing has been finalized, and are you planning to acquire land?"

"Yes," Jiang Shanwu nodded: "Our affiliated company plans to store at least 2,000 acres of land in Changping. It is not currently counted as the Rose Garden project and the Film and Television City project. It is just that the land acquired in advance last year has reached 1,200 acres."

Simon thought for a while and said, "Let me tell Xiaoqing later that there is no need to do more. The core of China's real estate development for a long time in the future will be the central areas of major cities. It is unlikely to develop a suburban economy like the West in the short term."

"I will tell Sister Chen," Jiang Shanwu agreed, but added: "In fact, we have similar judgments from our boss. Therefore, the relevant plots are mainly focused on the development of high-end villas and real estate, and will not involve the mid- and low-end ones. For the rich, the location is a little bit more and the impact is not great. We will also provide sufficient supporting facilities, such as international schools, etc. In addition, when the film and television city projects are completed and the new campuses of various universities are completed, they will bring us enough high-end consumer groups."

Simon nodded with a smile: "It's good that you have this kind of consideration."

After breakfast, Simon took Lee Boo-jin to fly back to Los Angeles first, and the woman then returned to South Korea, and by the way, she asked Simon's Boeing 767 to send herself back.

Jiang Shanwu took Yu Tingyu, Shen Lin and more than a dozen other women to New York.

It will soon be late April.

Last year's midterm election was a node. The Clinton sex scandal that had been tossing for several years had completely come to an end. The 2000 election has not yet begun. There is no big deal in the United States recently. The local area is called a "social event". It is probably considered "Star Wars Prequel: The Ghost Threat" which will be released on May 19.

The key is overseas.

The first thing is the Kosovo War.

While NATO Air Force continues to carry out large-scale bombings in the Yugoslavia region, a two-pronged approach is taking place. The International Criminal Tribunal in the Netherlands is building momentum for prosecution of Yugoslav President Milosevic on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The purpose is very simple, forcing Yugoslavia to surrender and admit that Kosovo is independent. At the same time, it is best for Milosevic to be more sensible and take the initiative to step down. The entire country will accept the freedom and democratic transformation of the West, so that everyone can live a better life.

In addition, someone from Russia who officially became the prime minister has also begun his own layout, frequently making statements on the situation in Yugoslavia, and at the same time began to make some active military deployments.

People with keen intuition have discovered that someone appears to have more public appearances than Yeltsin, and Yeltsin seems to have accused of this and has not taken much action. Obviously, this should be the successor, so the intelligence departments of various countries have begun to collect information from each other.

Then there is China.

When most international media turned their attention to Yugoslavia, China's new stage of economic reform was in full swing.

After determining the pillar industries of real estate, eliminating the catalog of backward industries, rectifying finance, restoring the insurance industry to build a modern social welfare system, after several months of brewing, China began to vigorously crack down on smuggling.

It's really the kind of movement.

Moreover, the amount of money involved in the found smuggling case is shocking.

It is said that a company in Xiamen, which was once again pulled out as a typical example, involved more than 50 billion yuan. In just less than five years, the amount of tax evasion exceeded 10 billion yuan.

What is this concept?

Just talking about China's current simple tax revenue is only about 80 billion yuan per month. However, the amount of tax evasion in a company actually reaches one-eighth of the country's monthly tax revenue!

Maybe some people think that it’s only one-eighth of a month, not much?

The problem is that the cumulative amount of tax evasion in a company can be compared to a certain extent with a country's tax revenue. Isn't this shocking enough? After all, in normal perception, the two should never be comparable.

With the impact on the national economy and people's livelihood, China's attack on the smuggling industry this time can be regarded as a bone scraping treatment for poison.

The Westeros system is also popular with this.

After all, most of them are serious businesses, just like the excellence that has been approved for merger with Lenovo.

Previously, it has been difficult to obtain too obvious price advantages in coastal areas. The key reason is that smuggling is too rampant. If others don’t have to pay taxes, the price will definitely be much lower than that of excellent PCs that need to pay taxes. Now, smuggling has been curbed, which is definitely a super good thing for excellence.

Time passes.

May 1999 arrived soon.

Simon, who has always been closely monitoring the war situation in Yugoslavia, has not received any possible relevant information. This is true for both Washington and the Weifang Army in the war zone. It is inevitable that he will relax and start to welcome the arrival of the summer season.

Before this, we should pay attention to the past Easter schedule.

The three major films related to the Westeros system in the Easter schedule, "American Pie 2", which started on March 26, received another $7.66 million in the last box office week of April, from April 23 to April 29, with a cumulative box office of $110.99 million, becoming the second film directly produced by Daenerys in 1999.

A little further, the US version of "Love Call Transfer" has entered the final stage of less than one million US dollars in a single week. As of the end of the box office week on April 29, the cumulative box office was US$141.36 million, and it is expected to earn another two or three million US dollars in the future, with the local box office reaching around US$143 million.

In addition, the overseas box office of the US version of "Aihu" is also very impressive. Following recent feedback, the cumulative box office of various overseas markets is expected to hit the threshold of 200 million.

Overall profit.

Next is "Resident Evil" directed by Zach Schneider. As of the fourth week of its release on April 29, it received another $6.37 million, with a cumulative box office of $71.3 million. Next, it will definitely be fine if the local box office exceeds 80 million.

Although there is no hope for the local area to exceed 100 million, the overseas performance of this new concept zombie film is quite impressive.

However, the recent Japanese paintings opened, and it won a box office of US$17 million in the first week. It is expected that just one box office in Japan will contribute between US$40 million and US$50 million. The overseas box office of the film has exceeded 100 million. As of the last week of April, the cumulative total has exceeded US$120 million, and the total overseas box office may be between US$180 million and US$200 million.

The cost of 35 million is expected to be 260 million to 280 million, which is also a rare success.

Stimulated by the hit "Resident Evil", Hollywood studios have recently begun to brew their own zombie film projects.

In addition, the stand-alone game of "Resident Evil" was officially launched at the end of April. It was stimulated by the success of the movie version. It was only the first batch of markets such as the United States, Britain, and Japan that were launched. The cumulative sales of more than 460,000 sets in the first week. This start means that the total sales of this first-generation game exceeded 5 million is a foregone conclusion, and it is not impossible to achieve sales of 10 million sets.

For a relatively niche horror game, such sales data is already a phenomenon.

Moreover, the success of "Resident Evil" also announced to the industry that Daenerys did not turn to online games in full, and the stand-alone genre is still valued by the game department.

Finally, there is the "Public Enemy" jointly issued by MGM.

Also in the four weeks ending April 29, "Public Enemy" earned $9.73 million in the past week, pushing the total box office to $111.02 million. The film is expected to have a box office potential of about 20 million in the future, with a local box office of around $130 million, temporarily ranking third in the year, lagging behind the US version of "Aihu", and will definitely surpass "American Pie 2" in the future.

Of course, if you consider the bombshell cost of $70 million, "Public Enemy" is expected to have a box office of over 300 million worldwide. Although it is expected to enter the profit cycle only in the theater stage, it is still much worse than the American versions of "Aihu" and "American Pie 2", and its profit scale is not as good as "Resident Evil".

Overall, for Daenerys Entertainment, the Easter schedule is a perfect ending.

Next is summer.

In the excessive May, as the release date of "Star Wars Prequel: The Ghost Threat" approaches, the atmosphere surrounding the film market is becoming more and more lively.

In this kind of excitement, May 8, this day that Simon remembered was very special, passed quietly.

Simon specially asked someone to organize some information.

On that day, NATO troops dispatched about 600 fighter jets of various types to attack more than 40 targets of the Federation of Yugoslavia, but everything was normal.

Including the days before and after.

Simon never believed in anything for no reason, not to mention that many signs in history have shown that the bombing was not accidental, and it was even more inconsistent with mistakes. An ultra-long-range bomber bypassed the NATO system, took off from the United States, and crossed tens of thousands of kilometers to attack the target. How could it be a mistake?

In any case, no matter what inside story there was, it obviously didn't happen this time.

fine.

As the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which finally could not hold on, began to seek peace, the two sides of the fight started negotiations, and the intensive bombing that lasted for more than a month gradually slowed down.
Chapter completed!
