King of Capital

Beijing, October.

The courtyard house has been vacant for over three years but it does not seem to be in disrepair at all. Workers are adding new furniture to the front yard, a nanny is busy cleaning the backyard, and the garden is filled with the subtle fragrance of osmanthus rain, making the family look as prosperous as before.

"Stop playing around. You have to ask and ask for permission three times just to have a meal."

Xie Jingxin walked through the Chaoshou Corridor and complained at the top of his voice. He had drunk a bellyful of tea at the diplomatic unit in the morning and had not even had time to change out of his formal suit. He hurried to eat something because he had to go out in the afternoon.

Zhou Fenglan and Yuan Jin ignored him, whispered to each other while holding their phones, and slowly walked out of the garden sunroom.

"172 dollars."

Zhou Fenglan said this with a very secretive look on his face, and Xie Jingxing didn't understand why.

"Just a few days ago, Xiaotian attended the British royal wedding, and I just saw a media report on Twitter that the British royal family did not invite him and his wife at all."

Yuan Jin blinked her gossipy eyes and explained: "The royal family has opened up the opportunity for the public to attend the wedding. Tickets are several dozen pounds each, and two tickets are equivalent to 172 yuan."

"There are still seven and a half hours left. His assistant has been standing at the elevator entrance for seven hours. Is your assistant okay?" Zhou Fenglan continued to add.

Yuan Jin suppressed her smile, raised her hands and gestured exaggeratedly in front of her chest: "Online comments are good news for people with face blindness."

"The monitoring time is two minutes." Zhou Fenglan couldn't help but chuckle.

"..."

Xie Jing Xing was speechless. These two old ladies of his were indeed middle-aged women. They had the nerve to say such nonsense. He slowly gathered his Qi into his Dantian and scolded them with a stern face.

When Xiaotian called him last month, he immediately flew to Su Mingda. But in fact, as a giant company with a market value of 50 billion US dollars, JD.com has extraordinary power.

We immediately hired a team of top local criminal lawyers to quickly get the person out.

All the public opinions Zhou Fenglan saw on the Internet afterwards were just part of the negotiation process for the lawsuit, and it was nothing more than a matter of how much money should be spent to avoid disaster.

After ensuring her personal safety, Xiaotian immediately accompanied her husband to attend the British royal wedding, publicly showing their love to show the understanding and support from her family.

Of course, the reason why he chose to show up in foreign countries was somewhat out of necessity.

Dong Ge should have been tactful and resigned from all the social positions he held as soon as possible. Several units such as commerce and diplomacy have been inexplicably implicated in this incident. If he does not give an explanation later, he will be hated by others.

It originated from a deputy of Trump who participated in a very important think tank discussion three days ago.

In his speech, he directly named some countries, claiming that transnational business and political cooperation in the United States has been subject to long-term and continuous interference, including extremely detailed interference, such as the prohibition of negative characters in Hollywood movies.

All the departments that came to the rescue last month when Xie Jingxing put pressure on grain traders and farmers in the WhatsApp acquisition case belong to this category.

The two sides have a good relationship and can understand each other. However, with the imposition of tariffs on goods worth $200 billion and retaliatory tariffs since the beginning of this year, the mutual harm has escalated and has reached a stage of intense confrontation.

I can only say that I was just unlucky and got all the friends who helped me into trouble...

But from a personal standpoint, Xie Jingxing needed to thank Brother Dong. The previous experience served as a warning. Zhou Fenglan was persuaded by him to return to China and stay there for a while to see how the situation would develop in the future.

Therefore, he is willing to run around to smooth the relationship now. There is no doubt about it. We are good brothers in our hearts. At this critical juncture, the young commander should shoulder the moral responsibility!

"After all, I was Xiaotian's college teacher, and she called you Master."

Zhou Fenglan casually said with a sarcastic tone: "We tell jokes behind closed doors, and I do the same in front of her."

"Okay, okay, you are a gentleman and I am a villain." Xie Jingxing quickly raised his hands in surrender.

Zhou Fenglan turned around and walked towards the restaurant first: "Ask Xiaotian to come over early this afternoon to play mahjong!"

"Well, we are short of manpower, why don't we ask Song Anli to join us?" Yuan Jin quickly followed up and suggested.

Zhou Fenglan suddenly slowed down his tone and said lightly: "Princess Pei is not idle."

Xie Jingxing listened silently and helplessly. Although Xiaotian had not been affected by public opinion recently, it was unexpected that he was still in the mood to play mahjong. He was definitely a mental giant with a superb mentality.

I wanted to comfort her as much as possible, and this seems to be more practical.

"There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who are bullied because they have no ability, and those who are bad people because they have ability."

The theater was dimly lit. On the big screen, the leading actor was speaking tear-jerking lines. In the corner of the back seat, Xie Jingxing and the female villain were eating a bucket of popcorn together, happily enjoying their rare date.

"Better Days", the first movie invested and controlled by Pony.com after its listing, grossed 5.8 million yuan in its first week of release in the off-season in mid-October. The total box office is expected to be 15 billion yuan, easily ranking among the top ten of the year.

In contrast, Wanda Pictures' half-year financial report did not meet expectations for the first time, and it is said that the third quarter financial report data is getting worse. Lao Wang told investors that everything was fine at the mid-year summary meeting, but when he got home at night, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. He took out a copy of the industry self-discipline agreement and read it all night.

When the capital influx into the film and television industry and the hype carnival reached its peak, the shoddy production of film and television series collided with the "salary cap order", and the entire industry entered a winter after a nuclear bomb explosion.

For Wanda as an individual, it followed the wave of monetary easing to go overseas for mergers and acquisitions, and the financial systemic reform and inventory hammer fell; it responded to the warm invitations from all over the country to grab land and develop cultural and tourism projects, and the red line of strict control of land use in urban and rural construction fell.

The film and television theater business is built on the core of commercial real estate, with a peak market value of up to 100 billion yuan. However, the heavy hammer that has fallen now can even be traced back to two years ago. As early as the beginning of the acquisition of LeTV, Xie Jingxing called on his peers to plan self-discipline and salary limits.

Lao Wang boasted that he had courage and was willing to cut off his own arm in order to survive, but at this moment he drew his sword and looked around, feeling confused.

The series of financial scandals that have occurred across the country are the "current situation" that is looming heavily over HNA.

Then the regulatory hammers that come one after another are Wanda's "trends".

Destiny is not complete.

At dawn, Lao Wang informed the head of the film and television business unit that he had decided to sell Wanda Film and Television as a whole to Xie Jingxing.

I received a reply at noon the next day, which was simple and straightforward: I won’t buy it!
"This drama has done well. You should seize the opportunity to take on more roles to increase your popularity. Your industry will get worse and worse in the next few years."

Xie Jingxing and Zhou Ye left the stage early, teasing with a malicious look, "And classmate Xiao Zhang has received a role in a tribute film again."

"Oh."

"Oh what do you mean?"

"What role she gets depends on you. If you think so highly of her, why would you watch a movie with me?" Zhou Ye pushed him away with a sullen face and went into the bathroom.

Xie Jingxing was so pleased with himself that he turned around and sent a WeChat message to classmate Xiao Zhang, editing his essay and commenting that you didn't play the leading actress as well as classmate Xiao Zhou who appeared on screen for 20 seconds. He was so excited that he couldn't help but put his butt on the edge of the sink and shook his legs.

I got an emoticon of Wu Jing licking a dagger, as well as a small red dot, and deleted and blacklisted both items.

"How passionate Aries is, how kind and abstract."

"She is so perfect, but her whereabouts are unknown. My heart is so empty that it's about to lose its shape..."

The theater's sound system was playing a song that suited the occasion. Xie Jingxing was in a good mood and raised his phone to record a video and send it to Zhang Yiming. He knew that this song was very popular on Douyin.

There are two other songs, which seem to be called "The Wind Rises" and "The Paper is Short, but the Feelings are Long".

There is also the trade war that is getting better, Wanda and HNA are selling off their assets endlessly, Pinduoduo has grown from Xixi to Daddy, and Li Ning and Cha Yan Yue Se are realizing the national trend...

They swept through 2018, the summer that people missed.

"We walked and stopped along the way, following the traces of the boy's drifting."

"I was a little hesitant when I stepped out of the station. I couldn't help but smile at the homesickness that was unavoidable."

"When I first came into contact with this world, I was so reluctant to leave. The horizon seemed to be right before my eyes, and I was willing to go through fire and water to visit it again..."

An Aston Martin drove through the streets under bright neon lights. The man driving the car was not young, but the girl in the passenger seat was young.

In December, Huawei's senior executives were caught in an overseas incident and used this to strongly impact the high-end mobile phone market. Meizu's new flagship full-screen mobile phone suffered a heavy blow.

In February, Meizu Technology held a press conference at the Water Cube in Beijing. Xie Jingxing brought the company's first independently developed new energy vehicle to greet global competitors.

In March, systemic market risks intensified, the macro-economy wielded the butcher knife, and millions of small and medium-sized private enterprises experienced a bloodbath and were killed everywhere.

At the critical moment, Lao Wang asked for help again and reached a 200 billion yuan strategic investment agreement with Jingxing Investment Group in three days.

In May, the central government forced local authorities to deal with the HNA crisis and set up a working group to go through the onboarding process and enter HNA in order to avoid "market moral risks."

The head of Hainan’s largest state-owned enterprise serves as the team leader, and Yu Nian, chairman of Donghua Asset Management Co., Ltd., a financial enterprise directly under the central government, serves as the deputy team leader.

In June, Xie Jingxing made a rare public appearance and announced that Jingxing Group had established an "alternative asset management business segment". At the same time, its Jinyou Securities Investment Fund was approved for a public offering license and made a strategic investment in Juntai Securities, holding a 10% stake.

On-site media reported: Milk Tea Sister stood beside him the whole time, and regarded herself as his apprentice and had a close relationship with him.

In August, JD Logistics announced the launch of its last round of financing before its IPO, with Yunhe Logistics leading the strategic investment with US$11 billion and Grapefruit Capital following with US$3 million. It is expected to be independently listed on the Hong Kong stock market in 2021.

At the end of the month, JD Mall business was reorganized into JD Retail Group, and a deep strategic partnership was reached with the new retail brand 'Meizu Lezhi+'.

In December, Meizu Technology went public in Hong Kong with an issue price of HK$14.5. Its total market value on the first day of listing was close to 3000 billion. (End of this chapter)
