Chapter 872 (1/2)
It's been a week since she arrived in China. She came to this country for the first time. Charlotte brenita's deepest feeling is that there are so many people, especially the bicycle flow on the city streets every morning.
Moreover, many things are not what I once imagined.
Following Chen Qing back and forth in several of the most prosperous cities in the country, she saw a series of projects invested by westero system. From the perspective of an investor, Charlotte brenita was very keen to find the strong vitality of the country's economy.
It's definitely a blue ocean for investment.
However, Charlotte brenita did not immediately seek investment opportunities in China.
Because we also found a lot of problems.
The totally unfamiliar investment environment and the business atmosphere quite different from the habits of Brittany, if you can't fully understand these, if you venture into the market, you will be defeated.
This also makes her admire Chen Qing who is able to swim in such an environment.
Knowing that this 27 year old Chinese girl was just a translator last year, she was just like a duck in water after being discovered by a man. Only in recent days, through a series of meetings with Chen Qing and various political and business circles in China, brenita has seen a rudimentary network of contacts.
Even though it is a man who really stands behind this big net, Charlotte brenita has no confidence that she can do better in Chen Qing's position even as a spokesperson.
December 3.
It's Sunday on the Chinese side.
Last night, she attended a reception organized by the local government. Charlotte brenita woke up in a building on Zhongshan Road on the Bund of Shanghai. It was more than eight o'clock in the morning.
Waking up in a building may be odd.
It's true.
A guy bought an Italian style seven story building on the street near the Huangpu River, where foreign banks used to gather, as his residence in Shanghai. When he arrived here on Sunday, he talked with Chen Qing. The building was bought from the Chinese government last year and used to be the office of some state-owned enterprises.
Further on, the building, built in 1923, was the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai.
After the building was bought, a large amount of money was invested to invite a professional repair team from Italy to repair the building for a year. In order to ensure that the building, which has a history of more than 70 years, is as old as ever, the repair team just used a toothbrush to clean up the dust in the cracks, which took three months.
However, since the renovation of the building was completed two months ago and the interior decoration was completed at the same time, it is obvious that someone has not been here yet, and a group of women have become the first group of residents.
According to Chen Qing, including the purchase of real estate and the subsequent overall restoration and interior decoration, the total investment in the building is 12 million US dollars. The total assets of the brenita family, which manages more than 3 billion US dollars, are about 150 million US dollars. In fact, Charlotte brenita's family business shares and accumulation over the years are less than 10 million US dollars.
I turned out to be so poor.
After learning about the general economic situation of this country, brenita realized that 12 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is enough to build several modern buildings of the same scale on the new area which is under hot development on the other side of the river.
Now, the money is just for someone to live in a place that may not be able to live several times a year.
Not only that, from the first meeting with Simon westero to the recent shuttling between major cities in China, brenita has seen similar properties, which are beyond counting.
Luxury guy.
With this in mind, I wash up and leave the guest bedroom on the sixth floor. Under the guidance of a waitress, brenita goes down to the terrace on the roof. Chen Qing, Lin Su and Emmanuel Brandt, who are also getting up late today, are having dinner. The winter sun has risen because the city is in the South and the temperature is just right.
Having said hello to everyone, brenita sat down at the table, waiting for the waitress to bring breakfast and looking around.
she is facing south and sitting on the same side of the street. The left hand side is just the Huangpu River with the be in full swing. The opposite bank is facing the towering Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Under the sunlight, we can see another busy scene on the other side of Huangpu River.
When she first came here last week, Chen Qing also said that a building expected to be the tallest building in China was being built there.
When the waitress delivered breakfast, brenita also drew back her attention and happened to see another ten story building next to her. Once again, she had some small complaints because she was too ”poor”. Half jokingly, she said to Chen Qing, ”the building next to her is higher. Why did your boss choose this one? He should not like the building next to him that is higher than his own residence, right?”
Chen Qing was able to feel Britta's ridicule and resentment, and said with a smile: ”you're right. The boss really wanted to buy the building next to him at first. Unfortunately, the municipal government didn't agree, so she had to choose this one. Even this one was hard to talk about. You know, these buildings on Zhongshan Road are basically cultural heritage.”Charlotte Brittany didn't expect to be straight and shrugged: ”your boss is not the kind of person who likes to be second best, is he?”
”It's not true, but the boss thought the number of the building was good, so he decided.”
”Number?”
”Yes,” Chen Qing nodded and said, ”here is No.18 on the Bund.”
”Is there anything special?”
”Anyway, the boss is very satisfied,” Chen Qing slightly waved the tableware in her hands. In fact, Simon didn't explain it to her at the beginning. He just added, ”18. In Chinese, homonym means” get rich. ”
Charlotte brenita still doesn't quite understand.
However.
Well, who wants to be poor.
So he changed the topic and asked, ”do you have any plans for today?”
Chen Qing sipped the orange juice beside her and said, ”Lin and I are going to deal with the establishment of Guofeng Art Troupe. If you are not interested, you can go to Suzhou with Aiman. A VCD manufacturer over there is looking for deep cooperation with scopper. Aiman is going to inspect their factories in Suzhou Industrial Park.”
These days, brenita has followed Chen Qing to see many projects of westero system in China, such as Nokia's factory, Shuanghui's meat production base, Bubugao's headquarters, and Johnston's steel plant, etc. what she should know is already known. At this time, listening to Chen Qing's words, she is more interested in the art troupe that someone wants to set up Interesting.
So he quickly said, ”I won't go. I'll stay and help you choose the girls.”
On the plane back to China last week, while revising the business plan of the computer company, Chen Qing completed a recruitment copy, which was sent to Simon for confirmation. After that, she quickly set up a recruitment team in China, and bought a full page advertisement for three days in a newspaper with the largest circulation in China on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday .
At present, a newspaper is very cautious in accepting advertisements.
Fortunately, Guofeng Art Troupe, a dance team set up to promote Chinese culture, was very positive. In addition, some of Chen Qing's contacts weaved in China came forward to speak, which was soon approved.
Of course, the price is not low.
Anyway, under Simon's arrangement, Lin Su, who is in charge of the budget for the establishment of the art troupe, feels that she is spending money recklessly, and they have a little dispute.
After all, it's still Linsu who compromises.
Simon is just a casual order, but Chen Qing is accurate to guess his boss's mind, formulated a series of very strict recruitment conditions.
However, the recruitment requirements are very simple. They are 18 to 22 years old, between 168cm and 173cm in height, and have a deep foundation in dance. Art college students or graduates are preferred. They are well-balanced and have a good face.
The salary of the recruitment notice is the biggest highlight.
The monthly salary is 2000 yuan.
Have the opportunity to perform abroad.
