Chapter 295 The long-standing question
"Chen Xi, why don't you come with me to Hong Kong to film? Although your face isn't as handsome as mine, it's not bad either. With me to follow your lead, you'll definitely become famous."
In a private restaurant within the Second Ring Road, Chen Guandong patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said, in addition to Shui Shui and Fei Fei, there were also two HK women sitting in the private room who were hugging and embracing Brother Guandong.
According to me?
You are about to be in big trouble.
Hearing the other party's words of concern, he gave a wry smile, but Chen Guandong thought it meant something else.
"Why, do you think artists don't make money? Let me tell you, besides film pay and endorsement fees, there are other incomes!"
"Oh? What is that?"
"Well...some antiques, calligraphy and paintings...I can't explain them to you clearly."
Chen Guandong thought about it and didn't say much.
"Brother Guandong, aren't you in HK? Why are you coming to the mainland?" Chen Xi remembered that Chen Guandong seldom came to the mainland. He usually went to the United States to get his fortune. He didn't know why he suddenly appeared here.
"Since 1997, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has begun to decline. It has become difficult for artists to make a living now. Only by cooperating with mainland artists can they maintain the Hong Kong market..." Chen Guandong spoke in somewhat funny Mandarin, and then he didn't know how to speak anymore and switched to Cantonese.
"I see. I thought you were here for tourism!" Chen Xi also answered in Cantonese.
"Wow, you can speak Cantonese! It almost got my tongue tied." Chen Guandong was surprised at first, then he picked up his beer and drank it with him.
Ten minutes later, under a big tree outside the hotel.
"Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? Why did you bring me here? Go back and have a drink." Chen Guandong looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Brother Guandong, I want to tell you something..." Before Chen Guandong drank too much, Chen Xi wanted to remind him that the eyepatch door incident had not happened yet, and with luck, it could still be salvaged.
Chen Guandong is a nice guy and I think we can be friends.
"...How did you know?" Chen Guandong took a step back and looked at Chen Xi nervously.
Chen Xi didn't say anything, just smiled, walked up to him, patted him, and then walked back to the box.
Chen Guandong pondered for a moment, then quickly took a step forward and followed.
Chen Guandong ate absent-mindedly in the second half of the meal. After the meal, he hurriedly left the restaurant, returned to the hotel, and immediately started booking the next flight back to HK.
"What's wrong with Chen Guandong? He is a lively person, why did he suddenly stop talking? Did you go to the toilet and have a conflict?" In the car, Shui Shui turned her head and looked at Chen Xi.
"No, maybe he had a stomachache or drank too much."
"It's just a few bottles of beer? Too drunk? You can't even lie."
"Haha."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Faced with Shui Shui's questioning, Chen Xi could only smile helplessly, while Fei Fei on the side opened her beautiful eyes with curiosity, looking at the young man in front of her who made her feel a little mysterious.
"This is our Skype number. We'll use it to communicate about endorsements. Feifei, what do you think?" Shui Shui shook the phone and then blinked at Feifei.
"Well, Chen Xi, I still need to discuss it with others. I agree in my heart..." Fei Fei said hesitantly. Although she had a good impression of the young man in front of her, she could not have the final say on matters such as endorsements.
"I see that you are younger than Chen Xi, so let him call you Yifei's sister from now on. I am the eldest sister, haha."
"what?"
After Shui Shui finished speaking, Fei Fei was startled and rubbed his fingers in panic.
"That's not so good..." Chen Xi came out to smooth things over.
"What's wrong with that? Just do it. Call me sister Yifei." Shui Shui put her hands on her hips and looked at him.
"Um...Sister Yifei."
"it's your turn."
"Brother Chen Xi..."
"Okay! Call me sister again."
"Sister Shuishui..."
Chen Xi and Fei Fei shouted awkwardly.
As night fell, he stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, gazing deeply at the night view of the city outside.
The flickering neon lights of the city interweave with the stars to form a beautiful picture.
The cigarette in his hand burned slowly, and the smoke reflected the contemplation on his face.
The other hand was tightly holding a mobile phone, and a phone number was displayed on the screen, the name was "Feng Jialun".
"The young master hasn't called me yet. He must be dissatisfied with my work. I have to work overtime tonight to finish the plan..." At this time, Jiang Yun was typing on the computer at home. There were a few cups of coffee and a bucket of leftover instant noodles on the table.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Oh, should I go in? I made that phone call yesterday and I seemed a little impulsive."
In Chaoyang District, in front of a building, Chen Xi looked up, becoming a little hesitant.
After a while, he strode inside. "Hello, please follow me." The elevator went up, and after the door slowly opened, a person who looked like a female secretary made a gesture to him to invite her in.
Huakai Capital, the company’s sign is hung on the wall at the entrance.
The company is large, but has few employees, which is usually the case with investment companies.
Following the woman forward, we soon arrived at an office.
"Dong dong!"
"Enter."
There were two knocks on the door, and then a voice came from inside.
"Ha, you can't wait to come to see me as soon as you return to China. Is there something big happening?" Feng Jialun laughed, welcomed him to the sofa, and then handed him a cigar.
"I have a few questions that I have always wanted to ask Brother Feng!" Chen Xi opened his mouth slightly, and finally decided to speak out the things that have been bothering him for a long time.
"Well, go ahead and ask." Feng Jialun pondered for a moment, as if he knew what he wanted to say, but he was still prepared to let the other party speak first.
"Brother Feng, I don't think there's anything special about me. Why do you think so highly of me?" Chen Xi spoke slowly, staring at the other person, trying to judge something from Feng Jialun's expression.
"Oh? How can you say that? People who come to me are eager to talk about their own advantages and want me to take them to fly! Why are you different from others and actually say that there is nothing special about you."
"I really don't find anything shining about me." Chen Xi touched his nose and took a puff of cigarette.
"Let me ask you a question first. What do you think the boss of an investment company usually does? Please tell me in order of priority."
"Dealing with financial issues, connecting resources, and judging projects." His work in his previous life allowed him to say these three points without hesitation.
"Look, isn't this what makes you better than others? I've asked you this question more than once. Some people don't even know these points, while others think the third one is the key."
Feng Jialun smiled.
"Sitting in my position is like filming a movie. We are the protagonists, and the others are just supporting roles. The quality of acting is actually not important at all. What you should consider now is not these unimportant things, but making yourself the protagonist. These words may not sound good, but I still have to say them to stop you from having wild thoughts." Feng Jialun continued.
"You inquired about my background and helped me. Do you have a conflict with my father and want to use me to deal with him?" Chen Xi always wanted to ask this.
"Haha, you young people have really rich imaginations. I can only say that you take Chen Yifeng too seriously." Feng Jialun chuckled twice, as if Chen Yifeng seemed useless in his eyes.
"..."
This answer made Chen Xi at a loss for words.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You have qualities that many people don't have. At the same time, don't speculate about my intentions. The little money in your family won't make me go to great lengths to do anything bad."
As if he knew what Chen Xi was still worried about, Feng Jialun answered the questions he didn't ask.
"Um...you're not my biological father, are you?"
"Pfft~ cough cough~ what are you thinking about? I really want to beat you up." Feng Jialun was choked by his words and almost dropped the cigar in his hand.
"I think the global economy isn't doing well recently!" Chen Xi cleared his throat, wanting to remind the other party.
"Well, isn't that a good thing for us?" Feng Jialun blinked at him and smiled mysteriously.
"I heard from A-Lin that you have investments all over the world! Will your business in Australia be greatly affected? The auto parts city has just opened!"
"The auto parts business will basically not be affected. On the contrary, Zhang Wu might have a harder time. By cooperating with your uncle, we are helping him. As for whether he can survive, it depends on his luck."
"What's the next step for the Tuao business? It seems that ACL has only had one big project, the Auto Parts City, since its establishment. Isn't ACL's funding source domestic? Will investors be worried..."
"Who told you that they are all from China? I never said that." Feng Jialun took a sip of coffee and said calmly.
People like Feng Jialun should have seen some clues about the current global economic problems. Since the other party did not mention it actively, Chen Xi felt it was not a good idea to ask more questions, so he could only switch to other topics.
Although he is now a partner in name, the work he does at ACL is actually no different from that of a supporting actor, and the same goes for Alin.
If it doesn't involve funding, you're basically just a supporting role.
In fact, he didn't feel anything strange when he heard Feng Jialun say that, because when he worked in Huajing before, other bosses had said the same thing during conversations.
From the boss's perspective, everyone else is just a supporting role.
This is why many employees feel that they have made great contributions, but their bosses seem to be blind and fail to notice their performance. That is because in the eyes of the bosses, those people are almost no different from extras.
If he doesn't obey or is not satisfactory, then replace him with someone else.
When I was working in an investment company, I either dealt with banks or other financial companies every day, and then with relevant departments.
Looking at projects is just like checking your email before going to bed every day, because there are people who specifically screen these things.
However, he has a habit of checking his mailbox again personally.
This Feng Jialun is really different from other bosses. It is completely unclear what he is thinking.
Anyway, I don’t have anything he wants, so I’m too lazy to think about it.
Chen Xi threw away all the thoughts in his mind and began to concentrate on discussing the business issues in Australia with Feng Jialun.
