    after an hour.  Outside the Ma family¡¯s luxurious villa, several juniors from the Ma family saw off the visiting distinguished guests.  Until the car disappeared into the night, his cousin Ma Tingwei laughed and said: "This Chen Chaowu is really ruthless. In order to win the beauty back, he has resorted to all kinds of dirty tricks. He has done everything possible." "This man is 30 years old.  It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve been so low-spirited for a woman, it¡¯s hopeless.¡± Ma Chengkun said disdainfully, ¡°What kind of woman doesn¡¯t have money? But he is obsessed with a female star, and he jumps up and down in order to break up the couple.  , He owed favors to several club bosses, and made Shao Laoliu dissatisfied, but in the end he made wedding clothes for others, and got the advantage of Zhang in vain. " Ma Chengkun is a proud man. He was a proud man at the beginning!  His father, Ma Xizhen, and his uncle, Ma Xiru, fled to Taiwan due to major drug smuggling, gang-related crimes, etc. He was only 22 years old when he took over the "Oriental Daily" in 1978. At that time, the "Oriental Daily" was in turmoil, and its circulation and sales plummeted.  , once dropped from 140,000 copies at its peak to 60,000 or 70,000 copies.  It was Ma Chengkun who turned the tide and created a new situation for newspapers and periodicals after many plans and twists and turns.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????? He is in charge of such a large newspaper company, has power and money, and from the bottom of his heart, he looks down on Chen Chaowu¡¯s dandy and childish behavior.  "Hahaha, this guy is not a kind person. He is so vicious. It's unclear who will win!" "Who is a kind person?" Ma Chengkun asked in return.  Ma Tingwei fell silent, Chen Chaowu was not a good guy, and the Ma family was not much more innocent than the other party.  As for Zhang Shaoping, he is close to Huo Zhenting, Pan Desheng, Liu Luanxiong, Wu Guangzheng, Yang Minde, etc. He is really playing dirty, he is young and energetic, and he may dare to confront others.  Paying money to buy a murderer happens a lot in Hong Kong.  Seeing the thoughtful looks on his cousins' faces, Ma Chengkun continued: "Even if Chen Chaowu disgraces Zhang Shaoping, so what? If he doesn't kill him, he will be hated by such a prosperous young rich man. How can he have any future opportunities?"  Are you living a good life? " "Then what should we do, stop mixing in? Chen Chaowu paid a lot of money this time." Ma Tingwei was extremely reluctant to give up the large sum of money.  Ma Chengkun sneered and said: "How can you spit out what you put in your mouth? Chen Chaowu does what he does, and we do what we do, just like before, everyone does their own thing. We are a newspaper and have the freedom to report news. As long as someone contributes,  We dare to publish it!" "Brother Kun, don't worry, I know how to do it." Ma Tingwei smiled knowingly. He had done these false and misleading slanderous reports countless times. He would kill people if they were caught.  , there is no need to even apologize afterwards.  These media outlets are not called "uncrowned kings" for nothing. Hong Kong law has very little binding force on them, so small that it can be ignored.  At this moment, it¡¯s pretty good now, but in a few years, it will be called unethical. It doesn¡¯t matter what false reports or sensational reports are, as long as they attract attention.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  New York is a place where land is at a premium, and rents rise almost every year.  Taking a one-bedroom apartment as an example, the smallest increase was in the Chinese district of Chinatown, which increased by 30% from ten years ago. The average rent is now US$200, while the Manhattan area has the largest increase, with an average of about US$350.  Of course, the rent for commercial buildings is more expensive, at least US$100-300 more.  Zhang Shaoping originally wanted to locate the company's headquarters in the Chinese District of Chinatown, but Tina Brown and Jiang Zhiqiang had different opinions.  Tina Brown said a very simple truth. All large companies must set up their headquarters in Manhattan, especially foreign companies. They must first show their strength and let people know that you are a dragon across the river. And the best way to show your strength is  , just pull on a piece of tiger skin and let people see your glamorous appearance at a glance.  Jiang Zhiqiang¡¯s objection to Zhang Shaoping¡¯s establishment of a company in Chinatown came from another angle.  At this time, New York was experiencing one of the darkest periods in history. Crime cases were high. All races, nationalities, professions, and religions were mixed together. Conflicts broke out from time to time. Street fights, robbery, and murder were commonplace.  In the original time and space, there was a photographer named Angel Franco who started working as a detective at the 46th Police Station in the Bronx in 1979. He took photos of the whole process. It was not until the next year, that is, in 1984 that he disclosed it to the world.  I know that New York is so chaotic that it can't be cured without heavy laws.  The police in New York can shoot you directly if they have reasonable suspicion that you are a criminal. Many people die unjustly because of this every year.  Not to mention, those gangsters and street kids would just break into the door and rob it.  Hearing what Jiang Zhiqiang said, Zhang Shaoping's heart trembled. This was simply more chaotic than Hong Kong, and it had reached the point of lawlessness.  In contrast, because of the concentration of large companies and financial groups in Manhattan, the intensity of public security has increased.It's less, so it's much safer.  The Empire State Building and the World Trade Center were not only expensive, but also popular places for bombers. Zhang Shaoping had never considered them at all.  Renting an office building in Manhattan, even a "B" class office building in an old building, costs at least US$35 per square meter. The office building rented by Zhang Shaoping is US$47 per square meter, which is about US$7,100 for more than 150 square meters, which translates into more than 40,000 Hong Kong dollars.  piece.  ¡°As for better office buildings, it¡¯s impossible to get them if they don¡¯t start at US$150.  This rent is already quite high.  Take Hong Kong as an example. Before the real estate bubble burst, the highest rent per square meter for a first-class office building in Central was about HK$300, which was similar to the New York office building rented by Zhang Shaoping.  With Jiang Zhiqiang helping to prepare the company and Hu Mufang, the legal secretary, the lease contract and the like were easily settled.  Then decoration, purchasing office equipment, recruiting staff, etc. were all handled by Hu Junyi and Tina Brown.  "Boss, do you have someone you like as the editor-in-chief of "Fashion" magazine? If not, I will recruit him as well." Zhang Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there is someone I want to contact.  I'll give you an answer." "How long?" "Two days." After sending Tina Brown away, Zhang Shaoping immediately called the person he had made an appointment with.  The other party mentioned the location, and it turned out to be the New York Toy Fair.  When we got to the place, we found a coffee shop. When we went in, we saw that there were 5 people with Asian faces. Only two women and one man were sitting alone.  The person he made an appointment with was a woman. When Zhang Shaoping didn't know who it was, he saw the 30-year-old woman waving to him.  Zhang Shaoping walked over with Hu Mufang and Chen Feihu, and asked with a smile: "Miss Wang Weiwei?" "It's me. Are you Mr. Zhang Shaoping?" Wang Weiwei shook hands with Zhang Shaoping and smiled, "Ayu told me that Mr. Zhang is young.  It¡¯s too much. I still don¡¯t believe it. I didn¡¯t expect that I was really shocked when I saw the real person.¡± ¡°Hahaha, a poor child has already become the head of the family. Why did my parents die young and I still have a little sister waiting to be raised? I go out into society to make money.  "There's nothing we can do about it," Zhang Shaoping said with a smile.  After introducing Hu Mufang and Chen Feihu, everyone sat down.  Wang Weiwei was born in Manhattan, New York, and is an authentic Chinese New Yorker.  New York¡¯s prosperous and diverse fashion climate, her mother¡¯s demanding and meticulous pursuit of fashion philosophy, and her father¡¯s deep and restrained China complex all gave Wang Weiwei a keen sense and unique insights into fashion during her childhood.  When Wang Weiwei was young, she practiced figure skating, and then returned to her favorite fashion industry. From 1972 to now, she has been the fashion editor of "VOGUE" magazine for 11 years.  This is a woman with a lot of stories. She has a high appreciation for clothing, perfume, jewelry, shoes, and furniture design.  When Tan Yanyu came to New York the year before last, he met her at a fashion show.  Two women who also have a deep affection for China have become close friends with their fashion design styles imbued with Chinese elements.  Wang Weiwei knew the purpose of Zhang Shaoping's visit. Growing up in the West, she developed a straight-forward character. She elegantly stirred the coffee in the cup with a porcelain spoon and said with a slight smile: "Sheng Zhang, give me a  Reasons to convince me, I have done well at "VOGUE" magazine, why should I switch to your small company with an uncertain future? " "Ms. Wang has been working as a fashion editor at "VOGUE" magazine for 11 years. Her ability,  You have all the qualifications but have never been promoted. Don¡¯t you want to change your working environment? "Having worked in the same position for 11 years, depending on the situation, it is likely that she will continue to work. Zhang Shaoping does not believe that Wang Weiwei has no ideas.  No matter how nice the sofa is, your butt will hurt if you sit on it for a long time, let alone working?  Wang Weiwei smiled and said: "I am a senior person in the fashion industry. Even if I want to change my environment, wouldn't "ELLE" and "LIFE" magazines be better? Why go to your small company?" "Mountains are not high, and immortals are famous; water is famous.  Wherever there is a dragon, there is a spirit." Zhang Shaoping coquettishly chanted "Inscription on the Humble Room" and said loudly and forcefully, "Fashion is small but has great ambitions. Isn't it just the right place for a fairy like you to show off your talents?  "Zhang Shaoping borrowed the words of "The Inscription from the Humble Room" to express his determination and ambition to become bigger and stronger, and at the same time he praised Wang Weiwei. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.  Wang Weiwei nodded and said with a smile: "What's more, this condition alone is not enough." Zhang Shaoping took a sip of coffee and continued: "Last year, Newhouse spent 15 million US dollars to reopen Vanity Fair and open it for the editor-in-chief.  Although I am not as wealthy as this media tycoon, I can still afford the annual salary of US$350,000, and I can also invest US$10 million in the starting fee, which is considered sincerity.Is that enough?  ¡± With an annual salary of US$350,000 and nearly HK$2 million, this sincerity is indeed enough. You must know that Hu Mufang holds several positions such as assistant, legal secretary, public secretary, private secretary, etc., and works several jobs before earning an annual salary of HK$100.  . Wang Weiwei is naturally satisfied with this. ¡°The third point is also the most important point, which you can hardly get anywhere else!  " "Oh, tell me about that.  " Zhang Shaoping suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words and drank coffee slowly. After whetting everyone's appetite, he revealed the answer and said: "Ms. Wang, I learned from Tan Yanyu that you have always been interested in fashion.  If you have the intention to develop your business, now I will give you an opportunity to fully support you in designing fashion and creating a personalized brand.  Wang Weiwei was really moved after hearing this condition. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that my fashion design will hollow you out?"  " Zhang Shaoping laughed and said: "You all know that I started in trade and then made my fortune in fashion. In my opinion, whether it is paper media or film and television media, only organic integration with surrounding related industries is the best!  Therefore, I have been sponsoring costumes for film and television dramas in Hong Kong. Even if your design fails and no one wants the finished product, I can still provide it to the crew and use the influence of film and television to spread to various places.  You will lose all your money!  " There is a saying that Zhang Shaoping did not say. How can he lose money on his costumes? He is simply making a lot of money. Take "The Best Partner" as an example. The costumes of the characters in it are all designed by designers in the company.  Liu Peiji and Xia Jiamao served as consultants. When the movie became popular, the company immediately launched a limited edition series of "Best Partner" clothing, all of which were sold at high prices. Not only the "Best Partner" series, but also the extremely popular ones.  "Interstellar Blunt", Zhong Yanhong's sexy outfit was also used by Zhang Shaoping as a sexy costume. More than 20,000 sets were sold at a high price in half a month, and many ladies, mistresses, and socialites continued to place orders. Of course.  , there are also some costumes from film and television series that have poor sales and lose a lot of money. But even if these ready-made clothes cannot be sold, Zhang Shaoping has moved a huge warehouse to preserve these clothes for twenty or thirty years.  The things are all treasures and will definitely be snapped up as nostalgic items. Wang Weiwei is willing to come out to meet Zhang Shaoping to discuss this. She originally wanted to change her job. When she heard the conditions offered by Zhang Shaoping, she was extremely satisfied and laughed immediately.  Said: "Okay, Zhang Sheng, you have convinced me.  " "Hahaha, when can we sign the contract?  " Wang Weiwei took a sip of coffee gracefully and said, "Next week, I can report to the company.  "
