- Chen Zheng took Anna and Jones into his room. When he looked back, Jones was still angry.
Chen Zheng smiled: "Didn't I say that women in your religious order are not allowed to be jealous?"
In comparison, dealing with these two women was much easier than dealing with Ellie. Chen Zheng just said one word and silenced Jones until he had nothing to say.
This is indeed Jones's weakness, because the doctrine they believe in is polygamy. Even Anna and Jones's father, the old prophet of the sect, also has many wives, and they are more beautiful than Chen Zheng. Exaggeration, there are as many as forty or fifty.
Jones couldn¡¯t fight back on the issue of not being jealous, but he still said unconvinced: ¡°Who said I was jealous?¡±
"Why are you so bloated if you're not jealous?"
"I" Jones made an excuse at random: "I just can't stand that woman, and it's not because she has a relationship with you. Even if she has no relationship with you, I will still hate her, so this can't be What you call 'jealousy' in China."
"But why do you hate others?" Chen Zheng asked again.
"I'm happy with it, but I just hate it!" Jones became angrier and angrier as he spoke, feeling very aggrieved at the same time. After he finished speaking, he couldn't restrain himself and actually turned around and left.
When I went out, there was a "bang" sound and the door slammed hard.
Chen Zheng smiled helplessly.
It is said that the blessings of bringing people together are not so easy to enjoy.
These three are actually okay. After all, neither Ellie, Anna, nor Jones care about this problem very much. If it were traditional Chinese women like Zhou Zhili or Hu Xuefei, it would really give Chen Zheng a headache. things.
"Dearchen," Anna finally spoke at this time. Fortunately, her tone was relatively calm: "Jones is just stubborn. I hope you don't blame her. I will try to persuade her later."
"Why, I have other women, aren't you angry?" Chen Zheng asked.
"Our sect is polygamous, and this is God's teaching. It allows us to have more children. You know all this. Besides, you are a prophet, and a prophet should have more women. What can I do? Angry?" Anna said: "As long as you can shoulder the responsibility of a prophet and let our order grow stronger, I will serve you well forever."
"Hey, Anna is still sensible. Chen Zheng pulled Anna to sit next to him and said, "I just wronged you."
"There is nothing to feel wronged about. The women of our religious order have been like this for generations, and it is still like this to this day." Anna added: "Besides, polygamy is the natural law of this world."
"Laws of nature?" Chen Zheng didn't understand.
"Didn't you notice? In most social animals in the world, there will be many females surrounding the male leader, so this is the law of nature." Anna said slowly: "Humans are social animals. Naturally. It will never change this reality. If there is a free environment, even if there is only one wife around a good man, there will never be a lack of other women. "
Don¡¯t say it. Even Chen Zheng couldn't help but feel that this was really the case.
Originally, he felt guilty because he asked for more invitations, but after hearing what Anna said, it turned out that this was his true nature.
"So for me, as long as a man doesn't use despicable means such as deception and gets other women through normal contact, no matter how much, I don't think it's too much." Anna added: "But you also have to know that women She is always a jealous animal, so it seems that what happened today is inevitable. Don't blame Jones for this. She behaves like this because she loves you very much. "
"I know this. Don't worry. In fact, I am not wronged like Jones. I will give you more compensation in the future." Chen Zheng sighed. It would be great if all women in the world wanted to be like Anna. How much trouble.
"Don't talk about this matter anymore. In fact, this matter is not a problem in our sect." Anna turned to say: "Let's talk about the sect's affairs."
"What's going on with the religious group? Is there anything wrong with the religious group?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. The elders in the sect all support you as a prophet now, because in the past year, you have opened up many ways to make money for our sect." Anna smiled: "Originally this Jones and I came to you this time just because of Miss Wei."
"Xiaowei?"
"Yes, although she??Only one album has been released, but since the release of the album, it has received rave reviews in North America. It even has a single that topped the sales chart for two consecutive weeks. The results are quite good. Anna said: "Mr. Hubble's intention, as you say in Chinese, is to 'strike while the iron is hot' and launch a concert tour for her." "
"Concert tour?" Chen Zheng was a little surprised: "Xiaowei has just been in the United States for a year. Is there such a big market?"
"Chen, you really underestimated Miss Wei. She is now a household name in the hearts of American young people. But this time, Hubble's intention is not to let her tour in the United States, but to tour in Europe. ¡±
"Europe? Xiaowei's influence has even reached Europe?"
"The United States is now the center of the world. People from all regions are eyeing the United States. Especially Europe and the United States have very close exchanges, so generally if it becomes popular in the United States, there will be a huge market in Europe. What's more, there are Mr. Hubble and other business personnel of our sect have great influence in Europe. After some packaging and promotion, this trip to Europe will, on the one hand, strengthen Miss Xiaowei¡¯s reputation, and on the other hand, it will definitely Earn some money for the religious group, and thirdly, it can also have a more profound impact on Chinese traditional culture. "
Yes, Chen Zheng has long said that there are only two easiest ways to export culture, one is movies and the other is music.
Chen Zheng alone can do the movie, but the music must be Xiao Wei.
"That's fine, let's just decide on such a beneficial and harmless matter." Chen Zheng asked: "When will Xiaowei go to Europe?"
"Chen, don't you also want to go to Europe to shoot a movie? Why don't you let her go at the same time as you?" Anna suggested: "When you go to Europe this time, you have to shoot in many countries, and Miss Wei is also in the European Fourteenth this time. She will have a national tour, and many of the locations will overlap with your schedule. We want to invite you to be her concert guest, which is another way to help her promote.¡±
Chen Zheng¡¯s current status is indeed unusual. The last movie has already caused a sensation in Europe and America.
This time I went to Europe to film, and the media attention was also indispensable.
Although Xiaowei has become famous, it has just debuted. If Chen Zheng goes to watch the concert, Needless to say. It's all a disguised form of propaganda.
"If that's the case, that's fine, let's leave it at that." Chen Zheng nodded.
Since Chen Zheng has agreed to participate in some of Micro Micro's concerts in 14 countries in Europe, he must make arrangements for his schedule. Give it to Anna in advance so that Hubble can arrange the itinerary for Xiaowei.
So the next day, Chen Zheng finally called Feng Guoan and told him that he was now in Los Angeles, USA.
Speaking of which, Feng Guoan is in a hurry these days. Because everything including the script, production, insurance, etc. has been arranged, even Mei Xi has joined the crew, waiting for Chen Zheng to be the leading actor.
As soon as the actor arrived, he met with the investor¡¯s boss of a major Hollywood film company, and immediately started arranging his European itinerary.
Filmmaking in Hollywood in the United States is different from that in China. Although there is a plan for making a film in China, the plan can be changed at any time. Therefore, it is common sense that a film that is expected to take one month to shoot often takes more than two months.
But in the United States, everything is according to the shooting plan, how many pages of the script are shot every day, and when and where to shoot. It's all in the plan, no mistakes are allowed.
Even if certain scenes are not shot well and need to be reshot, this will only happen after the filming is completed according to the script and shooting plan. Take additional shots.
Therefore, this itinerary is finalized. Unless there is a major incident, there will be no delays.
After Chen Zheng got the plan, the prize-winning plan was handed over to Anna, and Xiaowei¡¯s plan for a fourteen-country European tour was quickly released.
But after all, they were two different plans. Although they went to Europe at the same time, they were not synchronized. Xiaowei¡¯s first stop was London, the capital of England, while Chen Zheng¡¯s first stop was Paris, the capital of France.
On the first day after arriving here, Dr. Shen Zheshen came to the hotel where Chen Zheng was staying and paid a visit.
Chen Zheng came to Europe not only to make movies and participate in Xiaowei's tour, but also to have an arrangement. Dr. Shen Zhe invited Chen Zheng to give lectures on "The Relationship between Feng Shui and the Environment" in major universities.
When I was in Xianggang, this lecture was held once, and the effect was very good. It even caused a sensation in Xianggang. Dr. Shen Zhe¡¯s topic also attracted a small amount of attention in the world.
Europe is the origin of modern architecture, and it is also only Europe that has used architecture since ancient times.Like sculpture, painting, etc., treat it as an art.
Therefore, Dr. Shen Zhe¡¯s project can only be considered a real success if it is accepted in Europe.
However, you must know that it is much more difficult for Europeans to accept the concept of Chinese Feng Shui than it was in Xianggang.
Back in Xianggang, we encountered a lot of resistance, but now in Europe, you can imagine.
Therefore, Dr. Shen came here this time to discuss countermeasures with Chen Zhenglai.
"Feng Shui, this is purely our Chinese language. For Europeans, there is still a translation problem, and I'm afraid many people don't understand what it means at all, which will lead to a lot of disagreements. When we give lectures , those foreign college students and experts can¡¯t understand it, what should I do?¡± Dr. Shen asked.
Chen Zheng thought for a while and said: "In this case, why not let us introduce the basic concepts in the first few lectures. When we get deeper, we should not just talk about Feng Shui and environment. In fact, there are huge categories within metaphysics. They all emphasize the role of the environment. We can combine traditional Chinese medicine and the environment, celestial phenomena and the environment, numerology and the environment, Feng Shui and the environment, etc., to talk about them together first to introduce the general outline of Chinese metaphysics. Lectures on the relationship between Feng Shui and the environment.¡±
Chen Zheng¡¯s idea is very simple. He has always regarded the promotion of Chinese culture as his ultimate goal. With this trip to Europe, it is better to do it in an all-round way.
"Well, since our topic is relatively big, I will make more arrangements to hold a few more lectures like this in universities in more European countries. We will also invite more experts to try to pass this European This trip made the world recognize my topic of the close connection between Feng Shui in architecture and the environment! ¡±
¡¡
Speaking of which, Chen Zheng¡¯s trip to Europe was really busy.
The movie hasn¡¯t come yet and it¡¯s time to start shooting. the next day. After Zhou Zhili heard about Chen Zheng's arrival in Europe, he also called.
It turns out that the European company Zhou Zhili originally acquired was to mine diamonds and oil. The company's headquarters is located in Paris, France.
At this time, Zhou Zhili was in Paris, arranging a relatively important auction.
The items being auctioned are the diamonds mined and processed by their company.
Two diamonds. One is called "Dragon Pond" and the other is called "Feng Pavilion".
These two diamonds are not as big as the ones Chen Zheng gave to the women around him. They are only about 20 carats. They are not unique and rare objects, but they are also very rare and can be regarded as famous diamonds.
And Zhou Zhili wants to sell these two diamond rings at auction, so that he can not only make more money. More importantly, it can make the company famous and have a huge impact in the diamond and other jewelry processing industries.
"This auction of two diamonds is scheduled for tomorrow. You just happened to come to Paris, and I haven't accompanied you yet. If you don't have any other arrangements tomorrow night, why don't we attend the auction together. And then have a night together How was the night?"
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "That's fine."
¡¡
In a blink of an eye, it was already the second night.
Chen Zheng and Zhou Zhili together. As the owner of the diamond, attended the auction.
This auction is not just about auctioning these two diamonds, there are also some antiques, but they are all worthless antiques.
Therefore, these two diamonds were regarded as the finale items and were auctioned at the end.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" the host of the auction said, pointing to the projector behind him: "Now, the pictures you see are the two diamonds we last exhibited. I must say that these are not antiques, but They are just modern handicrafts. But the size, clarity, color and cut of these two diamonds are all world-class and worthy of collection.¡±
When Chen Zheng heard what the host said, he felt very happy.
Because although Chen Zheng has never participated in similar auctions, he can guess that in the past, English must have been the main auction.
But this time, the auction was held in three languages: English, French, and Chinese, with simultaneous translation while the host was explaining.
French is understandable, this is France after all, but the organizer has added Chinese language. On the one hand, it is to give himself face as a diamond owner, but on the other hand, it also shows that among the potential consumers participating in the auction, there are many Most of the Chinese people.
After all, this group of consumers is the main target of the auction.
It can also be seen from this that China is really relatively prosperous and powerful, and the export of Chinese culture has reached a level that canThe goal of leading the world is never too far away!
Chen Zheng was still thinking when another hostess lifted the curtain, revealing the two diamonds placed in the glass cabinet on the stage.
No wonder you need to use a projector to show a large-size photo of the diamond at close range, because at an auction, not everyone can see clearly two diamonds of more than 20 carats.
"The owner of these two diamonds is Mr. Chen Zhengchen from China. According to the diamond naming principles, Mr. Chen has named these two diamonds, one 'Dragon Pond' and one 'Phoenix Pavilion'. In China There is an auspicious saying, called Dragon and Phoenix, this is a couple¡¯s diamond ring with a low price of 8 million euros. Now, please bid!¡±
The low price of eight million euros is already quite high. You must know that the antiques on display before were only tens of thousands or millions of euros.
But despite this, as soon as the host finished speaking, many signs were raised at the scene.
After all, it¡¯s not unusual to have such a diamond ring alone, but two couples¡¯ diamond rings of the same color and clarity are rare in the world. If you buy them back and give them to your lover, it will be of great significance.
"Ten million!"
"Twelve million!"
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million! That gentleman offered 20 million!"
When they got here, the host paused for a long time, and finally after a while, someone raised a sign again: "Another bid is 25 million, 25 million euros, is there any higher?! "
After waiting for a few more minutes, just when the host was about to finalize the decision, someone else offered a high price.
"Fifty million! Fifty million! Fifty million euros! Is there anything higher?" The host shouted for a long time, but no one bid again, and finally the decision was made!
You should know that the exchange rate of the euro is higher than that of the U.S. dollar. Fifty million euros is equivalent to hundreds of millions of yuan.
Although these two diamond rings are rare, they are probably not worth so much money. If they were around 20 million, they would be more appropriate. In fact, even Zhou Zhili predicted this.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the final transaction price was more than double the expected price!
And even Chen Zheng noticed that when the host made the quotation, when it reached around 20 million, basically no one bid anymore. It took a long time for the price to increase from 20 million to 25 million. You can guess that The bidder was very hesitant.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the last person¡¯s amount would rise directly from 25 million to 50 million. What a bold move.
Is it because he doesn¡¯t know the goods? Or does he really have too much money and no place to spend it and doesn't care at all? Or maybe he likes the names of these two diamond rings better? Chen Zheng was very surprised.
Looking back, I saw that the person who made the final bid was actually a young man with an Asian face.
"No need to look, I guess he is just an errand boy," Zhou Zhili said: "When the real deal happens later, maybe we can meet his boss."
That¡¯s right, after the auction ends, the two parties actually pay the money and pick up the goods.
Although the auction functions as a platform, everyone can complete the transaction without the buyer and seller meeting each other, but if the bosses of the buyer and seller come to attend the auction, they generally don¡¯t mind meeting and getting to know each other.
And just after arriving at the VIP lounge, Chen Zheng finally found out who paid a high price for his two diamonds.
This person can be considered an old friend of Chen Zheng - Hattori Takeo. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
