Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 156 Dong Li is going for the Best Actress award [Subscribe]

after a while.

The two pots of medicine were on fire. Li Wenyu walked to the living room window to light a cigarette. "How many houses have you bought? Are there many paparazzi around here?"

Dong Li laughed foolishly, "We've already bought six units. This is the middle floor. Nazha and Li Wei live downstairs. The upstairs is still empty. I usually live across the street."

This time she came to open the door, and it was the end of a roadshow, and Huayi gave her a batch of gifts.

Whether it's cosmetics, luxury bags, clothes, etc., if she can't use them all, she will share them with Xiao Tong.

Who knew I would encounter such a good thing.

Old Li glanced at the buildings across the street, seeing no reflections of any camera equipment, and then walked back to the living room and said, "Just take these medicines once a day."

"You don't need to take a bath too often. A maximum of fifteen minutes a day is enough."

After a while, as his medical skills improve, he will have to change his meal plan.

Dong Li looked at Xiao Tong, who was introverted and peeling apples. "Do you want to take Xiao Tong with you to play a supporting role in the project I'm taking on now?"

After starring in A World Without Thieves, this movie grossed 2500 million yuan in the mainland during the second week of the May Day holiday, which is definitely far behind the time-honored blockbusters.

However, during the roadshow, both the real-life feedback and evaluations from the audience and the online time and campus scoring received a lot of positive reviews.

It is both popular and a hit at the box office.

Many netizens are saying that the last scene where the female thief played by Dong Li cries while eating roast duck is enough to win her the Best Actress award.

Dong Li and Gao Yuanyuan squeezed Yan Zi and Xu Jinglei out of the top four female roles, and their persuasiveness in consolidating their own status has become stronger.

Lao Li smiled and asked, "What projects do you have currently?"

Dong Li nodded. "Director Feng said he wants to continue working with me on a costume drama. He originally wanted to invite Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, and now he asked me to ask if Sister Yuanyuan is available."

"If you have any, please ask us to cooperate. Sister Yuanyuan is much more famous."

This is a fucking night banquet!
Big pit!

It would be magical if Yan Zi took over Ye Yan again, after all, Yan Zi has the support of island country capital.

Dong Li continued to explain, "And Jackie Chan. He and Huayi had originally planned to find Jet Li for a collaboration, and after the deal was done, they asked our company to help promote and distribute the film in Asia."

"I've found a bunch of screenwriters, but none of them have come up with the right idea."

"Now Jackie Chan has single-handedly planned another film about two grown men who become thieves and accidentally become stay-at-home dads, and he wants me to play the female lead."

"For the other male roles he's going to play with, he plans to ask Deng or Jin Dong. Wang Kai could also try. We've become internationally famous so quickly."

In the past week, the third episode of Dark Glory was broadcast in the United States, and the peak audience directly jumped from over 500 million to the 6s.

Wang Kai has also caught the eye of American audiences.

Jackie Chan is not sure how powerful Goblin is, but it should not be worse than You Who Came From the Stars.

Dong Li continued, "Media Asia wants to cast Huang Xiaoming as a supporting actor, with Jay Chou as the male lead in the Initial D manga-adapted racing movie, and they've also offered me the female lead."

Old Li sighed, "Not bad, it hasn't weakened your momentum."

Media Asia offered Huang Xiaoming a very sincere salary, but Xiaoming refused. At this stage, Huang Xiaoming himself really wants to go to the United States.

Instead of continuing to star in ordinary commercial films that only make money at the box office in Asia.

This was the period when Zhang Yimou, Kaizi and Lao Feng were all obsessed with Hollywood.

Tong Liya came over clutching a peeled apple and said, "Yes, these are all top-notch productions in China besides our Time. Sister Li is amazing."

Dong Li rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't try to fool me with those dimples of yours. I won't fall for it."

She now understood why Xiao Tong blushed so much when she first entered the room. It couldn't just be because of the excitement of having her domineering senior brother Lao Li help her boil the medicine.

It must be the little waist beauty who stole the chicken.

She had been looking forward to this sweet treat for two or three years but still hadn't tasted it yet. How could she let a little girl get there first?
Li Wenyu thought for a moment, then took the apple and said, "Old Feng is restless right now. He turned down his costume drama. Jackie Chan is fine, but he won't bother with Western films."

"The ceiling for his current Chinese-language films may not be very high, but the floor is not low either."

The Baby Project is a good popcorn movie with decent word of mouth. I didn't think it was too bad after watching it, but it also didn't live up to the expectations that the name Jackie Chan brought to the movie before watching it.

The box office is also okay!
Dong Li nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll take Jackie Chan's film. By the way, Senior Brother, I'm so flattered that you personally cooked and brewed medicine for us."

"How about I take you back to the house opposite and give you a massage to relax?"

Old Li gave Dong Li the middle finger speechlessly.

You'd better say a proper massage.

Dong Li was so happy that she was shaking with laughter. "Brother, don't just talk and do nothing."

She contributed to the establishment of Shiguang Weibo. Even if she has no credit, it is still hard work. Even if it is not hard work, it is still the work of a matchmaker.

Li Wenyu complained helplessly, "I'm only 23 years old. If I always have challenges like your weakness, I can't have hundreds of girlfriends before I'm 30, right?"

"You want me to be like that?"

Dong Li was confused and whispered, "That's definitely not possible. Just suck it off first and you'll be fine."

Having said that, she also realized why Lao Li was so tolerant when it was not difficult to take advantage of others.

Many girls and sisters-in-law in Hong Kong and Macau are much more unrestrained than her.

She also played a small role in "Dying to Survive". The girl she played on the set was much hotter than her.

…………

A few days passed in a flash.

Li Wenyu was busy with the post-production of "Dying to Survive", and then moved to various departments such as Time Media, Weibo, Campus Network, and Time 360.

At this point, the campus network had been established for more than a year.

The number of campus authentication users that can be absorbed has reached its upper limit, including the upper limit for graduates' telephone authentication.

He has already considered a major upgrade, which would allow the campus network to remove all restrictions on members of society and require only ID card numbers for authentication.

Only by upgrading can the Great Firewall version reach more than 100 million registered users.

All that remains is to wait, wait for the times to develop. As the 00s move forward, there will be more and more Internet users and the Internet speed will become faster and faster, and then the greatest glory will burst out.

On May 5, Lao Li just walked out of the post-production room at the headquarters of Time Media.

Da Meiyuan came over and said with a smile, "Boss, Mr. Xiong is here again, and he brought one of your seniors from Renmin University with him. He said it was you who recommended Mr. Liu to him."

Old Li was in a daze for a second, "I need to see this."

People are very strong.

Are Zhenqiangzi, IDG, and others trying to replicate the Pangdonglai model at Jingshangyang? Even if they fail, it will benefit ordinary supermarket employees and customers in 04 for a while.

He met the two in the reception room. When he invited them to his office, Da Qiangzi was a little excited. "Boss Li, I didn't expect you to know me."

"It was thanks to Mr. Li's recommendation that I met Mr. Xiong..."

Was Daqiangzi weak in 2004? He was 30 years old, a poor kid from a poor family. Even with a little help from his ex-girlfriend, his net worth had already exceeded million three years ago.

This guy is really good as he strives to control the quality of products and has become famous in Zhongguancun.

Of course, compared with Li Wenyu, that’s another matter.

In late February, Li Wenyu persuaded Lao Xiong to visit Pangdonglai.

I recommended Daqiangzi to Lao Xiong in early March. More than two months have passed!

The three of them entered the office. While the secretary was making coffee and tea, Lao Xiong and Da Qiangzi began to talk nonstop, continuing their inspection in Xu City.

Including the experience of learning from the general.

Finally, Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile, "Boss Li, we plan to attack Beijing first and open three large stores comparable to Walmart for the first time."

"For the first batch of employees we recruit, we give priority to those who already own a house to become regular employees. Owning a house makes it easier for a person to start a family and career, with good benefits and high salaries, and to treat the supermarket as another home."

"This is not to exclude those who don't own property. It's a reference to what Mr. Yu said. Employees who are under great pressure to buy a house, the greater the pressure, the less likely they are to have the patience and enthusiasm to serve every customer attentively."

"Mr. Yu also said that he hopes the young employees he supports with high salaries can buy houses and settle down on their own without relying on their parents for money."

"To achieve an overall virtuous cycle, the better the basic conditions, the easier it is to cultivate a healthy atmosphere where everyone in the group feels like one family."

In 2004, housing prices in Beijing did not take off.

Do you dare to pay ordinary supermarket employees, whether they are cleaning ladies or front-line sales clerks, twice the salary of their peers and pay five insurances and one fund?

Provide enough benefits and holidays, and the other party will see hope in you to buy a house with a down payment and start a family here without relying on parental financial support.

That is a person who feels that the longer he lives, the more hopeful he becomes and the happier he becomes.

Even when encountering customers with bad tempers and who are trying to take advantage of you, you can still have a basic magnanimous mindset and a big heart to provide warm service.

I don't mind you taking advantage of me, etc.

Once this large ecosystem is put into circulation, it will gradually cultivate word of mouth and become one with the people living near Beijing supermarkets.

There is a long-term sense of trust and tacit understanding.

It easily defeated competitors such as Walmart.

Lao Xiong took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "I'm hoping to go public in the future. Sharing the profits of the retail supermarket itself with the staff team is not a big deal."

"Even if we can't go public, this investment won't be a loss!"

"With my connections, I can only open a few stores in Beijing to test the waters. I also have Mr. Liu to help me with the connections."

Da Qiangzi waved his hands hurriedly, "I was just running around aimlessly, but since these three supermarkets are named Jingdong, I got a great deal."

He has opened more than a dozen JD Multimedia physical stores and is seeking to fully transform from offline to online.

The reason why people were fooled by Lao Xiong and started working in supermarkets was not only because of Lao Xiong’s recommendation of Li Wenyu, but more importantly, it was the name of the supermarket.

The new supermarket group can be named JD.com.

How many years have you worked in this field? As long as JD Supermarket has a good reputation in the Beijing circle, it will be considered good by countless ordinary people and citizens.

When it comes to JD.com, the products are genuine and reasonably priced, and you don’t have to worry about being ripped off. The quality is guaranteed. Even if many products are a little more expensive than others, you will never have to worry about being ripped off. Once this image is established, it will become a household name.

A few years later, there were still only three companies, and none of them could leave the capital.

He took advantage of the opportunity to use the JD.com brand to sell goods online and engage in 3C e-commerce, and he also established a brand reputation from the start.

Old Li raised his glass with a smile and said, "I wish you a successful start. I should be able to find time to visit the supermarket on its opening day."

As Lao Xiong clinked glasses with a smile, he asked curiously, "Mr. Li, are you really not considering your fate? I don't want you to take the money this time. IDG will cover everything from the construction to the other aspects of the three stores."

"Mr. Li invested in the company, leveraging his fame as mainland China's richest man in 04 and a high probability of retaining the title in 05 and 06. He is building a strong image for the company, believing it is genuine and not a scam."

"I'll give you 15% of the original shares. I discussed this with Mr. Liu before, and Mr. Liu is also taking 15% now."

Da Qiangzi now becomes the CEO by relying on his personal ability and using his ex-girlfriend's influence to gain some connections.

Just like Brother Hongyi went to Time 360 ​​Group to become the CEO and hold 12% of the shares.

From paying money to talking to suppliers, negotiating with the districts where supermarkets are located, etc., these are IDG's great network resources.

Da Qiangzi took a deep breath, his teeth aching with envy. He nodded and said, "NetEase's market value has dropped, but NetEase relies solely on games."

"Mr. Li's Weibo and campus network are not only growing, but his online video group is also making great strides, as is 360 Antivirus. His media department is producing classic Chinese films and TV series one after another. Let alone continuing to be the richest man in 05 and 06."

"It's only a matter of time before Mr. Li catches up with and surpasses those wealthy overseas Chinese in other regions, including those in Hong Kong and Macau, who can't keep up."

"The morale boost to all employees from your fame and influence joining the supermarket cannot be explained in a few words."

"I told everyone from supermarket salespeople and cashiers to cleaning ladies that if I worked here for a few years, I'd guarantee you wouldn't be living off your parents' savings and could buy a house with your own down payment. But who would believe me?"

"With Mr. Li as the major shareholder, I say that all ten listeners will believe it. If they believe it, they will have the confidence to treat every customer with the utmost sincerity and passion."

Xiong Xiaoge nearly spit out tea. She stared at Da Qiangzi for more than ten seconds and started to complain, "According to you, if I give 15% to leverage the influence of the richest man, isn't that enough?"

Li Wenyu was also amused. "I can join in and get 15% without paying any money, but I also want to bargain for a price. I don't want more shares."

"Mr. Xiong, why not open six instead of three? That would be auspicious."

Pangdonglai’s largest Times Square in the future will have 1500 employees.

Six times is less than 10,000 people.

Li Wenyu is a famous rich man. How could he not have the confidence to help less than 09 employees to buy houses with their own down payments without relying on their parents' money before ?

Of course he was confident that it could be supported by just sprinkling some water.

If we open more supermarkets like this, the annual profits of six large comprehensive supermarkets can be enough to pay a down payment of 9000 yuan for a house.

A 70-square-meter house now costs more than 30 yuan in full payment, and a 9000-square-meter house costs more than 28 billion yuan in full payment.

The down payment will be much less.

What is the annual retail turnover of six large Walmart stores in Beijing? What is their profit?
It is impossible to ask all employees to pay the down payment for a house in one year. That is unrealistic.

But if executives buy houses in the first one or two years, it will not be difficult for the entire group to do the same in the next three to five years.

There is no need to worry about cars and houses, and the supermarket can help with dating, getting married, and sending children to school. There are so many holidays such as sick leave, it is even better than working in a state-owned enterprise.

There is no need to worry about not being able to train a group of big-hearted and good-tempered employees who treat the supermarket as their own home and their work as a family heirloom.

Xiong Xiaoge was also excited when he heard this. "Mr. Li, let's have a drink? If you are really willing to join the market, I will be more confident about the future listing."

It's just past two in the afternoon.

Old Li nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's okay to drink a little."

After Li Wenyu sent away the two energetic entrepreneurs, Daddario ran to his office, making Li jump for joy.

After she gave Lao Li a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

He quickly reached out and pressed Daddario's shoulder, "You are carrying too much weight. Frequent exercise is not good for your health. Don't run around anymore."

Daddario spoke Mandarin, "Boss, it's been four months. How do you think my Chinese is doing?"

"How about you drive me and teach me yourself? You're not only a very talented director, but you're also an amazing actor. Could you please be my acting and language teacher?"

"I'm definitely not clingy. I'll just leave after finishing my meal. I'll stay in the US for three or four years at most and then go back to the US."

Li Wenyu, "..."
