Chapter 70: An olive branch from the first broker.
In the past two years, 80% of Zhou Xing's income has been invested in real estate in Beijing. There are 21 commercial housing units and 5 bungalows. It is also because the housing prices in Beijing have soared in the past two years, otherwise there would be more real estate under his name.
These properties are all good in basic locations. Except for those bungalows, the others are basically rented out. They only took back two of them a few months ago and renovated them. Zhou Xing and Anli went to the capital and did not have to worry about not having a place to live.
"The large balcony is comfortable. You can get a lounge chair in winter and bask in the sun while reading books. The big house is good." Anli is still very satisfied with the accommodation environment.
Zhou Xing was also inexplicably friendly. In Xiangjiang, the house he rented was not cheap, but the area was still not large. As for balcony or something, don’t count on it, it is the standard configuration for luxury houses.
In the next few days, Zhou Xing and Anli started a crazy shopping trip, furniture, electrical appliances and other large items, which they had already booked early in the morning. The rest were all small things, such as water cups, teapots, etc. I don’t know that I don’t know that there are so many things to buy, no wonder it’s worth a lot of money.
Zhou Xing has been away from the capital for nearly three years. In the past three years, the changes in the capital even made him wonder if he had really been in college in this city for four years.
While marveling at the modernization of the capital, anli felt more that the city gave her a completely different feeling from that of Xiangjiang. The pace of Xiangjiang is very fast. Whether it is life or work, it will give people a sense of suffocation, which makes people breathless. Especially when going to work every morning, the pedestrians on the street are expressionless and rushing on the road, just like walking corpses. Only by getting off work at night, betting points on the nightclub and horse farm can they see their "live" side.
As for Beijing, when walking on the street, you can see sincere smiles at any time, whether it is white-collar workers or sanitation workers. At first, Anli was puzzled because as far as she knew, the salary level in the mainland was completely incomparable to that of Xiangjiang.
"Because of contentment," Zhou Xing said lightly.
In fact, the salary level in Xiangjiang is really good. At the same time, there are 12 years of free basic education and public hospitals are also free. If a couple works diligently, it is no problem to save for ten years to buy a house. However, most women in Xiangjiang stop working after getting married and having children, and the pressure of life is all on men. If this man likes to buy horses, playing cards, etc., life will naturally be tight.
What about the mainland? Most women give their children to their parents after giving birth, and then the couple went out to work. They saved money and lived in the urban village with the worst environment. They ate the cheapest lunch box. They were sick and couldn't bear to take leave, and even more so, they couldn't bear to spend money to go to the hospital. However, even so, they still had a smile on their faces because they knew that every penny they earned would be spent on their children.
If a poor couple is sad, no life will be hard. It’s just contentment and happiness.
About a week ago, Zhou Xing and Anli bought daily necessities while visiting some famous attractions in the capital, including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace...
Anli immediately turned into a paparazzi, took photos everywhere with a digital camera, and was amazed at the same time, which made many locals look at her inexplicably. They probably thought to themselves: This is not a foreign girl, why do you look like Yazi who has never seen the world?
Although Anli was a little happy, she still entered the work state after a week's holiday. Liu Yuan from the studio also took advantage of this time to sort out some information from the mainland entertainment industry.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the mainland is no exception. Generally speaking, the mainland entertainment circle can be divided into three large circles.
Beijing Circle, Northwest Circle, Northeast Circle.
The representative figure in the Beijing circle was naturally Wang Shuo, but this guy took himself too seriously. In 1997, he reached the point where everyone shouted and beat him, so he could only go to the United States to avoid the limelight.
In recent years, the representative figures of the Beijing circle have become Xiaogang Cannon. The two brothers of Huayi's Wang family have deeply bound Xiaogang Cannon, so now the Beijing circle is basically determined by Huayi.
In fact, there is no real leading figure in the Northwest Circle, and the interior is relatively loose. It does not like the Beijing Circle to like to keep warm. The representative figure is naturally the national teacher Lao Taozi. Of course, since the heroes have been popular, the national teacher has been in the limelight for a while. If you really want to be the boss, no one would object. Unfortunately, this person is not interested in it at all.
As for the Northeast Circle, it is undoubtedly the uncle Benshan. The so-called investment is not only Shanhaiguan, but also in the entertainment industry. In terms of group warming up, the Northeast Circle is much more powerful than the Beijing Circle. It basically shrinks into a ball, and the needle cannot be inserted or water cannot be poured in.
"Wang Jinghua from Huayi has made an appointment with you several times, why don't you meet me?" Anli turned her laptop to Zhou Xing, and there was an email on the screen.
In 1991, Wang Jinghua was still a small agent riding a bicycle to the crew. However, in just a few years, she became the first in the industry. Especially after signing Uncle Ming in 1993, she turned her career to the film and television industry and soared to the sky. In 2000, due to investment, Wang Jinghua met the two brothers of the Wang family. The two sides hit it off, so she brought more than 40 first- and second-tier stars to join Huayi, and Huayi was in the limelight for a while.
In 2000, when Zhou Xing was still lying in a drama troupe, he heard about this famous name. However, at that time, he was already the number one agent in the mainland, so he could only look up to him. Later, when he arrived in Xiangjiang, he heard many of his colleagues mention him (Carina Lau and Tony Leung were signed under her name at that time)
Undoubtedly, Wang Jinghua's strength and connections are second to none. If she wants to meet Zhou Xing, it is naturally impossible to just drink tea.
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Sister anli, are you not afraid, am I abducted?"
anli shrugged: "It's mine and I can't run away no matter how hard it is. It's not mine. Even if it's tied to it, it will be lost."
......
A cafe was playing soothing country music, and Zhou Xing was playing slowly. Although he didn't know how to appreciate it, it was pretty good to listen to it occasionally and relax.
Soon, a woman in a brown coat came over.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." The woman smiled sincerely, and at the same time she looked at her side and swept her eyes.
"I'm here early, and there's nothing wrong recently." Zhou Xing was polite at first, and when he saw her expression, he explained with a smile: "Sister anli said that we would talk alone, so she won't participate."
Wang Jinghua smiled and couldn't help but think: I've met a master. Zhou Xing is in the rising period of his career and his own conditions are quite superior. If he changes to an ordinary agent, he will definitely be strictly guarded and will never let them meet alone. In this way, even if Zhou Xing doesn't say it, he will definitely feel unhappy.
"That's a pity." Wang Jinghua said straight to the point: "I heard that you have decided to return to the mainland to develop. Do you have any specific ideas?"
“What about?”
