Chapter 35: The Most Sentimental Woman
Seeing Karina hang up the phone like this, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, thought about it left and right, and decided to go to Huateng headquarters to meet her. As for Momiji, of course he doesn't bring it because of time, as long as he has a clear conscience and doesn't let her know.
So, Chen Feng drove to the Huateng headquarters in the International Financial Center Building, and in the car, Chen Feng made another phone call to Karina.
The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was connected.
Hearing that there was no sound over there, Chen Feng had no choice but to take the lead in speaking: "Karina, I didn't mean to make excuses for myself. Just two hours ago, I was having dinner at a seafood restaurant with Hong Kong feng shui master Yang Tianming, who is also my friend, when we met a gunman who was shot in the leg and had just undergone surgery. β
"Ah!" After listening to Chen Feng's explanation, Karina couldn't help but exclaim, "Then you didn't have it, did you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a big blister on the back of my hand. Chen Feng said with a wry smile.
Karina was relieved, but immediately asked curiously, "What the hell is going on?"
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain it to Karina in detail.
After hearing this, Karina couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, you friend is really unlucky. I remember that you just said that he was a feng shui master, and I know that the feng shui masters in Hong Kong seem to boast that they can help people drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but why can't he avoid it this time?"
Chen Feng didn't tell her Yang Tianming's divine calculations just now, and he didn't explain much, but just smiled: "Just like a doctor, he can treat others, but sometimes he can't see his own illness." β
Karina didn't want to waste too much saliva on other people, so she said directly: "Okay, accept your reason." You'll be here tomorrow morning. We'll see you tomorrow. β
"But I'm almost at the IFC building now. Chen Feng smiled, "I don't want my number one right-hand man to be dissatisfied with me as a boss, so I rushed here with trepidation." β
Karina couldn't help but giggle when she heard this, and she was very satisfied with Chen Feng's flattery.
"Boss, I have to admit that your compliments are really very good, and ordinary women will be confused by you. β
"Okay, Karina, I'll be there soon, I think you better let your secretary know, or I won't be able to enter the company." "Chen Feng's identity as the boss behind Huateng, except for a limited number of senior executives of Huateng, the rest of the employees don't know, if there is no Kalima in advance, Chen Feng really can't enter Huateng Company, let alone Karina's president's office.
"Okay, I'll inform my secretary right away, I'll just let her go downstairs and pick you up......"
"No need, you can let her wait at the door of the company when you arrive, I'll be there shortly. Karina's identity as secretary is also very important in Huateng, and Chen Feng doesn't want his visit to cause too much of a sensation.
"Okay, see you later!"
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, Chen Feng stood at the gate of the independent floor of Huateng headquarters, with two big men on each side, and at this time, there was also a tall beauty in dark gray professional clothes, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, her hair was coiled high, and her expression was stern. He was a yellow man, about thirty years old.
Seeing Chen Feng and his entourage coming, she immediately greeted him and asked Chen Feng respectfully, "Is it Mr. Chen?"
Chen Feng nodded.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Chen Fengju, secretary to the president, please come with me. Chen Fengju stretched out her hand to ask.
After Chen Feng motioned for the accompanying bodyguards and plainclothes policemen to stay at the door, he followed in.
Chen Feng in the president's office saw Karina, who had been absent for a long time, and she was still pleasant, and she was more confident and had a special attractive temperament.
After the secretary brought coffee to the two of them, Karina burst into a charming smile and said to Chen Feng: "Boss, it's really difficult to see you." β
"Karina, I'm so glad to see that you're still beautiful and generous. Chen Feng said sincerely.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm under a lot of pressure right now. Several times, I didn't want to do it. Karina said half-truthfully.
Chen Feng was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't want to lose such a capable and pleasing subordinate, so he hurriedly said, "Karina, one of the purposes of my coming to Hong Kong this time is to negotiate another employment contract with you, with an annual salary of 20 million US dollars, and I also plan to give you 0.5% of Huateng shares, what do you think?"
This salary is not low, but just for Karina's current title of 'financial czaress', it is worth it. You must know that in last year's Wall Street financial sniper war, she made billions of dollars for Huateng.
Karina was slightly surprised by Chen Feng's condition, but she quickly calmed down and accepted with a smile: "Boss, I can't refuse your condition. β
"Okay, if you agree, I can inform Lawyer Mai Xiangdong right away, and ask him to prepare a new employment contract and bring it here immediately. It just so happened that Ouyang Chong, Lu Yunfang and other high-level executives also needed a new contract. You can give them an hour to have a meeting together. β
"Well, I'm sure they'll all be very happy when they hear the news. As she spoke, Karina pressed the intercom on the table and asked the secretary to inform the company's main leaders of a meeting in the conference room in an hour.
Chen Feng also took out his mobile phone and called Mai Xiangdong, asked him to re-prepare several employment contracts, and asked him to record the salary he set one by one.
In addition to Karina, the president, Ouyang Chong, the human resources director, and Cao Yunfang, the financial director, will be paid according to the agreement they agreed before, and in addition, in order to attract these two talents, Chen Feng is also very generous to give each of them 0.001% of the share dividend, but they can't be traded. Don't look at the small number of share dividends, but even so, they can pay at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
After Chen Feng finished the call, Karina asked, "Boss, I'm curious, why did you suddenly plan to go all out to acquire Asia Television this time?
Chen Feng replied honestly: "I plan to revitalize Hong Kong dramas." You may not know that in the 80s, it can be said that the entire Southeast Asian TV drama market was Hong Kong dramas, but now Hong Kong dramas have declined, but Japanese dramas and Korean dramas are popular. I think it's important to change. β
"Boss, I didn't expect you to have such a purpose," Karina said with some disapproval, "With all due respect, the decline of Hong Kong dramas is the decline of his entire market and system, and it cannot be reversed by one person alone." β
"I haven't tried it, and I know that. Chen Feng said with some confidence, "I now have a package of revitalization plans, and I originally planned to leave this matter to you, but now that I have another suitable candidate, I won't trouble you." He has a huge number of TV dramas in his mind, in addition to Korean dramas and Japanese dramas, there are also many excellent American dramas, especially the latter, he remembers that when he was in college, he watched it all night. With such a powerful cheat, coupled with the fact that Chen Feng now has money, as long as he invests a lot of money and vigorously cultivates excellent script creators, actors, directors and other outstanding talents, he will not believe it and cannot reproduce the glory of Hong Kong dramas.
"Oh, you've already found someone else, who is it? Is it an industry insider in Hong Kong?" Karina asked curiously.
Chen Feng shook his head and replied, "It's the friend I told you about today, a feng shui master." He and I plan to jointly invest in the establishment of 'Huateng Entertainment Group', with him as the president, and let him reorganize ATV. β
Karina couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Boss, you're not mistaken. He is a feng shui master, could it be that before he became a feng shui master, he was a big boss and had management experience in a group company?"
Chen Feng didn't bother to explain, and said directly: "I believe him!"
Karina couldn't help rolling her eyes, she also knew her character as a small boss, although she felt that it was a very wrong decision for Chen Feng to let a feng shui master serve as the president of the group company, but it was still wiser not to comment more on this topic, and diverted the topic: "Boss, tell me about your plans in the entertainment industry, now you are known as the world's No. 1 super teen star, do you have any plans to go to Hollywood to develop? Many of your fans are very much looking forward to you acting in a movie." β
"I don't have any plans for that yet. However, I was invited to attend the Oscars, and if they agreed to my offer, I think I would be present at the Oscars this year. β
"Really?" Karina said in surprise.
Chen Feng nodded.
"This is amazing!" Karina said excitedly, "I was also invited to the Oscars this time, I haven't officially replied to them, I didn't plan to go, but if you, the boss, go, I'll walk the red carpet with you then." β
"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences actually invited you?" Chen Feng was surprised this time, "You should have never developed in the entertainment industry before." β
Karina explains: "I came out to work after graduating, and of course I didn't develop in show business. However, thanks to you, the boss, I made a splash on Wall Street last year and was featured on the cover of several magazines, so it's understandable that they invited me to go. β
"Oh, I remember, I remember last year it seemed like you were voted 'the sexiest woman in the world' by FHM magazine, and you were still number one. Chen Feng smiled, "If you let others know that you, the 'sexiest woman in the world', are my employees, it will definitely make the men who drool over you jealous." β
Karina listened to Chen Feng's compliments, her face showed a rare flush, and she said with a smile: "You should be saying the opposite, if your female fans know that I work under your long, I will definitely be jealous of your female fans." β
Chen Feng smiled and changed the topic: "Karina, you should have a lot of people chasing you now, how about it, have you found a suitable one?"
Karina's expression darkened slightly, but she immediately withdrew it, and reluctantly smiled: "I had a boyfriend when I was in college, and then we broke up. This painful experience has prevented me from starting a new relationship to this day. Moreover, now Huateng needs me, and my mother also needs me. I don't want to think about feelings just yet. β
Chen Feng listened curiously, looking at Karina's speech, it seemed that his boyfriend had dumped her, and a woman like her, who was both talented and intelligent, and had a very good temper and personality, was still reluctant to do so? If she is not married at this age, she is already a leftover woman.
"Karina, I'm really curious, how did you break up with your ex-boyfriend?" asked Chen Feng with some gossip.
After glancing at Chen Feng lightly, Karina hesitated for a moment, but still said, "He slept with my roommate." β
This concise and clear answer made Chen Feng stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sneer: "I really didn't expect it! Karina, this ex-boyfriend of yours is really cheap enough, with such a beautiful girlfriend as you, he will actually sleep with other women, is that your roommate more beautiful than you?"
Karina stopped talking for a while, then changed the subject: "Boss, how are you and your fiancΓ©e now, when are you going to get married?"
"We plan to get married early next year, and we will invite you to a wedding drink. Chen Feng replied casually.
"It can't be true. My boss!" Karina's eyes widened, "If I'm not mistaken, you'll only be seventeen years old next year." β
"Of course it's true, how can I be joking about marriage?" Chen Feng said.
"Boss, although I know that you and your fiancΓ©e have a very good relationship, I still think that if you get married next year, it will be too early, and married life is not as good as you imagined. Karina admonished with some kind advice.
"Thank you, Karina! I've thought of everything I should have thought of, and I'm already planning to get married early next year anyway. Both of our families have agreed. Then come and drink the wedding wine and bless us. β
"Okay, I'll be there to congratulate you. β
Chen Feng was about to continue to talk to her about Hua Teng's current situation, when he received a call from his agent Cao Yunfang, Chen Feng did not shy away from Karina, and after saying a word to Karina, he pressed the answer button.
"Chen Feng, Oscar and CCTV have officially responded, and both of them agree to the conditions you put forward. Although the Oscar organizing committee did not make it clear, it also gave enough hints, I believe they will not give you a blank check, as for CCTV, their high-level officials accepted your conditions in full after a meeting and discussion. β
Hearing Cao Yunfang's report, Chen Feng was very satisfied.
"Okay, I got it. Is there anything else?"
"Oh, yes, yes, Omega Watch Company and Rolex Watch Company in Switzerland have called me and asked for endorsements. I think these two companies have very good taste, you might as well consider it. β
Chen Feng was obsessed with electronic watches for a period of time when he was a child, but since he was in junior high school, he has never been in the habit of matching watches, but of course he is familiar with Omega and Rolex, two classic Swiss watch brands. is indeed a famous watch of these two brands, which is really commensurate with his current status in the world entertainment industry.
After a deep sigh, Chen Feng asked, "How much do they bid?"
Cao Yunfang replied: "Omega is $25 million for three years, and Rolex is $45 million for five years, and I think Rolex is more optimistic about your future development." If you agree, I can negotiate the specific price with them. β
"Well, if Rolex is willing to raise the price to $50 million, I'll take the endorsement. However, I hope that if they shoot the commercial, the location will be Los Angeles, USA. For this more suitable endorsement sent to the door, Chen Feng certainly has no reason to block out, and he can't get along with money, not to mention that in Chen Feng's opinion, the endorsement list is at least safer than the endorsement of Pepsi.
"Okay, I'll contact them now, and I'll let you know right away if I can. β
β¦β¦
After hanging up the phone, Karina asked with a smile: "Boss, you won't take another sky-high endorsement, right?" β
"If nothing happens, I think so. Chen Feng replied very frankly.
"What kind of endorsement?" Karina looked very interested.
"It's Omega and Rolex, and possibly Rolex. If it was 50 million dollars in five years, I would have taken it this time. β
"Oh, MyGod!" Karina couldn't help but roll her eyes again, "Boss, you make me feel inferior and make me jealous!"
Chen Feng laughed and brought the topic to business: "Karina, how is our Huateng's current media acquisition plan in the United States?"
"It's kind of smooth. Karina immediately became stern when she was asked about the business, and replied, "At present, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and there is another Christian Pravda, all of which we have a large stake, and there are also a number of local tabloids, which I am planning to consolidate into one big newspaper." β
"Well, well, you continue to follow up on that. In addition, you recently tried to buy the next one of the major Hollywood studios. Chen Feng said his plan, he plans to develop in the film industry in the future, and of course the Hollywood film company in the United States must buy at least one.
