The world of film and television begins from childhood

Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan are like husband and wife: "Yes, yes, you are rich now, but you can't forget us, our friends in need."

"A friend in need?"

Zhou Chen had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao took out two red envelopes and handed them to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, we were not here when you and Wang Ying received the certificate, and we were not here when your child was born. This is a red envelope from me and Qin Chuan. It is for the baby. You accept it."

"As long as it comes to my heart, I don't need the red envelope."

"That's not okay. This is for the baby, not for you. Take it quickly."

After some hesitation, Zhou Chen finally accepted their wishes, and then Dalong and Lu Qianran also gave red envelopes.

Zhou Chen stayed at the Pancake Monster Shop until nearly twelve o'clock before returning to the hotel to rest.

Although he also had a house in the capital, he didn't want to have any trouble, so he stayed in the hotel directly.

Qin Chuan moved very quickly. He just took the photos the night before, developed them the next day, and placed them in the most conspicuous place in the store. There were a dozen photos in total.

In the few days after the photo was posted, Pancake Monster’s business really boomed. Many people came over specifically to have a look. In the following period, Pancake Monster was posted on the Internet forum, and Pancake Monster’s business changed. Qin Chuan also seized this opportunity and decisively opened a branch...

Unlike when he returned to China before, this time he received countless invitations not long after returning to the capital, and he also met many leaders in the city and had dinner together.

It wasn't until more than a week later that he flew to Shanghai, and the person in charge of picking him up was naturally his good friend Wei Zhuo.

"Haha, brother, long time no see."

As soon as they met, Wei Zhuo gave Zhou Chen a big hug.

Although Zhou Chen's identity is different now, his second-generation attitude has not changed at all. He is the same as before, no stranger at all.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for several years, but you haven't changed much."

"I'm just waiting to die. What changes do I need? But your changes are really big. Tsk tsk. You're the 30th on the Forbes list of the world's richest people. You're awesome. In two years, don't you want to be in the top ten?" Zhou Chen, when will you become number one on the rich list?"

"Go away, don't embarrass yourself, and leave quickly."

Wei Zhuo happily walked out of the airport with Zhou Chen arm in arm.

In the business car, Zhou Chen asked: "Why, you won't drive a sports car this time?"

Wei Zhuo said: "I'm almost thirty, I'm going to get married soon, and I have no interest in sports cars anymore."

He is two years older than Zhou Chen, so he is indeed already thirty years old. Everyone likes sports cars, but as men mature, they gradually become more reserved. Besides, sports cars are definitely not as comfortable as commercial cars.

"I went to my house today. My dad and my aunt knew you were coming, so they were waiting for you at home."

"It's more troublesome for uncle and aunt."

"What's this? You've helped us a lot in the past few years."

Although the Wei family's power in Shanghai is not small, with Zhou Chen's help, his father and aunt have directly benefited.

The previous incident of importing medicines promoted Aunt Wei Zhuo to a higher rank, and the donation last year allowed Wei Zhuo's father to take another step forward. This is a real benefit, and the Wei family will naturally attach great importance to him.

"It's not a favor, it's just mutual help and mutual benefit at most. If it weren't for you, many things wouldn't be so easy for me to do."

Zhou Chen knew the importance of allies very well. The Wei family was powerful enough, and Shanghai was a good place. Being on good terms with the Wei family would only bring benefits to him, but no harm.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Zhuo is very loyal, and their family is also very good. They are loyal to each other and have related interests, so they can work together better.

I feel very bad today, as if I've been tricked. I've been sleeping all day and I feel dizzy. Try to finish two chapters!

Chapter 1284 Interview with Zhou Chen, the man who shows off his wife

Arriving at Wei's house, Zhou Chen met Wei Zhuo's father and aunt. In fact, this was their first official meeting. Although they had talked on the phone before, they had never met in person.

Wei Zhuo's father is in his fifties. For his position, he is not too old and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Wei Zhuo's aunt was younger, in her forties. The two of them did not look down on Zhou Chen because of his age. Instead, they were very polite and enthusiastic.

Although they hold high positions, Zhou Chen is different. Zhou Chen is a big businessman in the United States. He is a popular type no matter where he goes. What's more, Zhou Chen is only in his twenties and has unlimited possibilities in the future. For such a young man, People, even if they have friendship, must still be polite.

Zhou Chen had a dinner at Wei's house and chatted with Wei Zhuo's father and aunt for a long time before returning to the hotel.

This time in Shanghai, in addition to meeting Wei Zhuo's father and the others, he also had work. In addition, he also had to participate in a talk show. This was something he had promised Wei Zhuo's father before returning to China. He mainly used his Fame to increase the popularity of local TV stations.

The interview program he participated in this time is called "Ma Lan Interview". This interview program is one of the top interview programs nationwide and is broadcast by Tomato Channel.

This program reminded Zhou Chen of an interview program in the real world. It was very similar. They were programs that interviewed celebrities and elites from various industries.

Zhou Chen is now not only a domestic celebrity, but also a celebrity all over the world. He is also a top rich man, and his influence is comparable to that of superstars in the sports world.

Young, talented, handsome, rich, the light of the Chinese people, the top rich man...

Zhou Chen has many names on his head, especially because of his age. People who admire him cover three generations of old, middle and young people, and he is the dream lover of countless women. The influence of such a celebrity interview can be imagined And know.

After Zhou Chen was confirmed to be interviewed, Tomato Channel had already started to build momentum. After so many days, almost all viewers who followed Tomato Channel knew about this matter, and it quickly spread at a viral speed. Every day There were many calls to the TV station asking about the situation.

Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he learned about this from Wei Zhuo. He knew that he had attracted a lot of attention because of the Forbes rich list, but he did not expect that he would be so popular in China.

"The money effect, you are the youngest new rich man on the global rich list, and the richest Chinese man after Li Chaoren. The most crazy thing in this world is money. People like you participate in interviews , how could it not be noticeable.”

Wei Zhuo expressed his opinion. If he was not on good terms with Zhou Chen, but was a stranger, he would definitely be very interested when he learned that Zhou Chen would participate in the interview, and wanted to see what Zhou Chen's interview would be like. .

Because too many people asked and the popularity was too high, Tomato Channel temporarily adjusted the broadcast time of the interview and temporarily adjusted the program to the prime time of this day.

The interview program will naturally not be broadcast live, but will be recorded and broadcast. The interview will be conducted first, and will be broadcast on the TV station after post-editing.

On the day of recording the program, Zhou Chen came to the TV station. The leaders of Tomato Channel came and warmly welcomed Zhou Chen. After greeting him for a while, he was ready to start recording.

Before recording the program, Zhou Chen also met the famous host Ms. Ma Lan. She greeted Zhou Chen in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and then showed Zhou Chen the questions that would be asked when recording the program later, so that Zhou Chen could prepare in advance.

"Mr. Zhou, if you have any inconvenience with these problems, you can tell us in advance so that we can replace it."

Zhou Chen read it over and picked out two questions: "Just cross out these two, the others are fine."

The person in charge of the program took a look and naturally had no objections and agreed with Zhou Chen's decision.

Ma Lan then said: "During the recording process, sometimes we may not ask one question step by step, and sometimes it may be extended. If Mr. Zhou is unwilling to answer, it can be explained that we will edit it later." It will be cut off sometimes, and..."

Listening to the other party talking about the precautions for recording the program, Zhou Chen nodded.

"No problem, it's decided."

Recording a program is nothing new to him. He has met leaders of many countries, so why would he worry about a talk show.

Zhou Chen spent the whole afternoon recording the program. Although he recorded for several hours, the final broadcast time was not more than an hour.

After the recording, the TV station started editing. After it was completed, Zhou Chen watched it again. After it was confirmed, it was ready to be broadcast at prime time this Saturday night.

Saturday soon came, and that night, many people stayed in front of the TV, turning on Tomato TV, ready to watch the interview with Ma Lan.

With the arrival of the prime time period, the interview with Ma Lan officially begins. Because many people are watching this program for the first time, they are very curious and start watching from the beginning.

Wang Ying, who is far away in San Francisco, also accompanies her grandparents to watch Zhou Chen's program on the Internet.

There were even more people watching in China, especially acquaintances with Zhou Chen, who basically tuned into the Tomato channel on time.

At the beginning, the host Ma Lan appeared. Under her narration, she introduced the changes in the domestic capital over the years, focusing on a few photos of a certain alley.

In the Capital Pancake Monster Shop, Qin Chuan, Xie Qiao, He Xiaozhou, Xiao Qianxi and others gathered together and looked at the TV in the shop. When they saw the photos of the alley, Qin Chuan and the three of them exclaimed.

"Qinchuan, Brother Xiaochuan, look, is this the Denghua Hutong we used to have?"

"Yes, absolutely. I remember the location in the photo very clearly. It is definitely our former Denghua Hutong."

"I also remember that these photos are indeed photos of Denghua Hutong. I didn't expect this program to be so careful and even find photos of our Denghua Hutong."

There are many people like them who used to live in Denghua Hutong, and they all look nostalgic when they see these photos.

People will miss the past, because in many people's hearts, the past is beautiful, and the past is something they can no longer have.

On the TV, the scene quickly changed and a video appeared. This was a video shot of Chinatown in San Francisco. Many Chinese and foreigners could be seen in the video. The video was not long, but it also allowed many Chinese people to see Chinatown. bustling.

As the video ended, the host Ma Lan began his own explanation and also talked about the interviewees for this show.

"...He is Zhou Chen, a Chinese from America, San Francisco's Chinatown, the chairman and general manager of Chenxing Capital, the chairman of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Group, and a patriotic Chinese."

"Zhou Chen, whose ancestral home is the capital city of China, was born in a hutong with the characteristics of the old era... he emigrated abroad at the age of thirteen..., graduated from Stanford University in the United States, and went to Beiqing University as an exchange student for two years in 2001. Chen Xing Capital is founded on…”

Regarding Zhou Chen's information, Ma Lan talked a lot in one breath, and there were many positive compliments in it. Even people who didn't know Zhou Chen, after listening to his narration, knew how outstanding Zhou Chen was. of young top tycoons.

"Let's get into the topic now, please..."

As soon as the screen turned, they came to a space full of bookish atmosphere. The hosts Ma Lan and Zhou Chen sat opposite each other on a single sofa.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Hello, host."

"It's a pleasure to interview you. Speaking of which, I am also an admirer of Mr. Zhou..."

The host Ma Lan is obviously a well-spoken person. Even when facing Zhou Chen, he is neither humble nor overbearing, very polite, and he speaks very nicely.

Because the person being interviewed today, Zhou Chen, is a very young man, she is not as serious as the previous interviews, but is relatively light-hearted. This is what the station discussed with Zhou Chen before recording the program. It was said that it was an interview. But it is actually a kind of communication, allowing the audience to understand Zhou Chen more clearly.

So this interview is not only about professional content, but also a lot about Zhou Chen's personal matters, which is even a bit entertaining.

After all, this is temporarily switched to prime time broadcast, and many viewers are young people. Most of them don't care about professional knowledge, but they are more interested in gossip.

I started by asking a few innocuous questions, and then slowly got into the topic.

"Mr. Zhou, a few months ago, your name was included in the Forbes Global Rich List, and you became the 30th richest person in the world. How do you feel about this?"

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I have many thoughts, but I think the most serious thing is that it has caused me a lot of trouble. Friends who know me well know that I am a relatively low-key person, but this As soon as the list came out, I was directly at the forefront of the limelight, and I couldn’t keep a low profile even if I wanted to.”

Ma Lan showed a kind smile: "This time the list has indeed made Mr. Zhou famous, but many of us only knew you last year. In the eyes of many of us, you are a patriotic hero and a true philanthropist." Home."

"I can't be called a hero, nor can I be called a philanthropist, but when it comes to patriotism, I'm not humble, haha; at that time, I was just doing what I could. I couldn't save people, but I still had some money. , so I donated it without thinking much at the time.”

"Mr. Zhou is so humble. There are many people who donate, but there are very few like you."

"No, on the contrary, I think there are actually many people like me, but they don't have that much money. If they have that much money like me, they will definitely support the country like me."

"........."

This topic was quickly dismissed and moved on to the next topic.

"Mr. Zhou, we have all heard that you started from scratch and created your current wealth. Would you mind sharing the secret of your success with us?"

"There is indeed a secret to success, but everyone's secret is different. But let me summarize, there are several things that make me successful: knowledge, diligence, confidence and noble people."

"There is a saying that I agree with very much. It is difficult for a person to make money beyond his or her own cognition. I understand cognition as knowledge. Only with sufficient knowledge can one make the money that can be made, except for luck, of course. Luck is something that cannot be explained, but it is impossible for someone to always make money by luck. I believe everyone should agree with this."

"Diligence and self-confidence, this is easy to understand. Diligence is the cornerstone of success. Only by hard work can we achieve our goals. Self-confidence is also the secret to success. If a person does not even have self-confidence, how can he make money?"

"Noble man, this is my own conclusion. If a person wants to succeed, he definitely cannot rely on himself. A noble man is not necessarily the person who helps you. He may also be the person who wakes you up with a word, or it may be just anyone. You are just a passer-by, but anyone who is of great help to your success can be considered a noble person."

"My noble person is my grandfather. Host, you just said that I am self-made. In fact, this is not accurate, because I am not truly self-made. There is a gap between me and the truly self-made successful people, because I can succeed because My grandfather gave me 200,000 start-up capital.”

"Because I have been particularly sensitive to numbers since I was a child. A teacher once told me that if I majored in mathematics, I would definitely become a great mathematician in the future, because I was the most talented mathematical genius he had ever seen; but I At that time, I was just a layman, and I wasn’t really interested in becoming a mathematician. Instead, I was more interested in money.”

"I have admired one person since I was a child, and that was Warren Buffett, so when I was fifteen years old, I asked my grandfather for 200,000, and then I jumped into the stock market."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the host Ma Lan was obviously very surprised, because now everyone knows that Zhou Chen is very rich, but few people know how Zhou Chen made his fortune. Zhou Chen is obviously narrating his own story. The road to fortune.

The audience in front of the TV also sat upright and listened carefully to Zhou Chen's beginning of his fortune.

"Mr. Zhou must have made his first pot of gold in the stock market that time."

"It's not that easy. At that time, I overestimated my ability and underestimated the risks of the stock market. I only used the 200,000 yuan my grandfather gave me in less than a month and lost nearly 170,000 yuan. Later, I lost nearly 170,000 yuan. I asked my grandfather for 100,000 yuan, and that was how I made a comeback. Within a year, I made my first pot of gold from the stock market, and then I relied on this first pot of gold to slowly build my future."

What Zhou Chen said was half true and half false. His money was indeed given by Zhou Guoxing. He did lose money at the beginning, but not that much. And the money he made from the stock market was also a lot of money. Of course he wouldn't. speak out.

"So, the most important person for my success is my grandfather. Without him, I would not be sitting here today."

Zhou Guoxing, who was far away in San Francisco, couldn't help but cursed when he heard what Zhou Chen said: "This brat, I can't even remember what happened at that time, but he remembers it clearly."

Zhou Chen and Ma Lan quickly changed the topic.

"Mr. Zhou, as we all know, the international economic situation last year was not very good. What are your views on the future economy?"

"I personally think that the financial crisis is short-lived and will pass sooner or later. Maybe it has hurt many people, but..."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and soon another two-minute video appeared.

"After chatting for so long, Mr. Zhou, let me ask a question that many people are interested in. What are Mr. Zhou's hobbies?"

"Any hobbies? There are many. I like sports, running, playing basketball, football... I have gone to see the World Cup and the NBA. If you have friends who have watched the NBA, you may also I have seen it because I have been to the NBA many times to watch live games, and the position is always relatively high."

"I am also quite greedy and like to eat delicious food. When I was in college, I often went to food stalls with my friends to drink beer and eat barbecue..."
