King of Capital

Chapter 7 Collection

It was the height of summer in June, with the sun scorching. A sultry breeze occasionally blew in the afternoon, bringing with it a burnt smell from the asphalt road.

Liu Qiming was sweating on his forehead as he walked a few steps from the Science and Technology Innovation Center to the ground parking lot. He started the car, turned on the air conditioner, and stood by the car door waiting for the car to cool down. He made small talk and said, "I feel that Liu Wei is quite interested. It shouldn't last long."

"There aren't many investors who are willing to talk to him after hearing the 60 million valuation. Just hold on. He thinks it's easier to talk after he makes a profit." Xie Jingxing didn't care.

It is not a good deal to try to please a cold butt. MiHoYo is indeed worth investing in, but it is only worth investing in.

If it really doesn't work, he doesn't mind making the future gaming giant miHoYo disappear and supporting another obedient game manufacturer to become the producer of "Genshin Impact".

What if the copycat fails?
There is no 100% chance of success in investment, and he has the courage to accept failure calmly. In contrast, he cannot accept miHoYo's success without his participation.

Xie Jingxing has never been an idealistic investor, he is a pure businessman.

"Has Cheng Weiyue arrived?"

He thought of this entrepreneur who also had a sincere heart.

Liu Qiming perked up and replied, "Tomorrow night, do you want to change the time?"

"I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. Let's eat at a food stall tomorrow night." Xie Jingxing smiled.

Cheng Wei is a member of Alibaba's Taobao team, a well-known sales team. Unlike the young entrepreneurs like MiHoYo, he needs to change his attitude a little and be more down-to-earth.

Xie Jingxing used his hands to test the seat to see if it was hot on his butt. He bent down and got into the car before finally advising, "Please spend more time looking at the list of founding companies I made."

He has to go to the "Shining Offer" program team for training tomorrow, and then start the official filming of the program next Monday. Time is limited, so he can only focus on the big things and let go of the small things. He will leave the useless things like SHN48 to Liu Qiming to make his presence felt and become familiar to the audience.

"No, Mr. Jing, please give me a ride. It's hard to get a taxi here." Liu Qiming was dumbfounded when he saw him close the car door while talking.

The car window slowly closed, and Xie Jingxing explained insincerely with a shameless face: "Sorry, I have to go to the high-speed rail station to pick someone up, it's not on my way." After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and left in a cool manner.

Liu Qiming looked at the car going away, restrained his expression and smacked his lips.

There's something wrong with Master Jing. There's an evil aura about him. He made all the arrangements for Liu Wei very clear and it seemed like he attached great importance to miHoYo, but at the same time, he didn't care at all.

American education is a tireless teaching. Before Mr. Jing went abroad, he was a gentle, elegant and easy-going gentleman! It has only been a few years, and he can put on airs and manipulate people's hearts and make big promises, and he can roll up his sleeves, take off his watch and swing his big pockets.

He is proficient in all kinds of skills and is definitely a sinister old fox.

…………

In the underground parking lot of the high-speed railway station, Xie Jingxing was playing with a set of jewelry.

The three-piece set of ring, necklace and earrings is made of ruby ​​and carved with gorgeous vine patterns. It is from the high-end series of Harry Winston jewelry brand and costs 2.7 million yuan.

He has had no bad habits since he was a child. The reason why he was able to spend over 100 million yuan on living expenses during his four years in college was because he liked collecting.

Antique calligraphy and paintings, luxury cars and famous watches…it doesn’t matter whether you need them or not, as long as you like them, you want to take them home. Just looking at them there gives you a sense of satisfaction.

However, this set of jewelry is not a collection, but a decoration for the collection. It feels roughly the same as the 2D otaku buying pretty little skirts for figures and dolls.

"Boom."

The car door opened, and a tall girl with a mask covering her face and a baseball cap on her head got into the car, quickly closed the door, and a faint fragrance came into the air.

This is one of his most valuable collections. Concubine Pei is a young actress born after 85 in the entertainment industry. She is praised in marketing press releases as a new generation first-line female star who is catching up with the likes of the Double Ice and Four Dan Actresses and the Fairy Sister.

Outside the car, a middle-aged woman with a suitcase and a stern face blocked the front of the car, glaring at him without disguising her emotions. Xie Jingxing smiled at her and made a please gesture, indicating that she should make way.

"There's no car behind, so you can back out."

Concubine Pei took off her mask, revealing her beautiful, happy, bright and delicate face. She looked at the middle-aged woman outside the car window and said helplessly.

That was her mother, who is also her agent. She had just finished filming in Hengdian and rushed to Shanghai.

Xie Jingxing tilted his head and looked at her: "Kiss."

"……Why bother."

Concubine Pei glanced out the window tiredly, then leaned forward with her face tilted up and pursed her rosy lips.

A few minutes later, Xie Jingxing wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and Pei Fei was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. Her mother stood outside the car with a sullen face and glared at her, but she just held the suitcase tightly.

"Drip."

The car honked, her mother made way, Xie Jingxing waved his hand to say thank you and left.

"Actually, my mother's intention is always good for me. Think about it from another perspective. When I'm acting with male actors on the set, she watches every scene for fear that I'll suffer a loss. Wouldn't you feel better?" Concubine Pei's words of persuasion sounded feeble and powerless.

Fan Bingbing became a legend when she walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival two years ago in a stunning dragon robe dress, which completely opened the prelude to domestic female stars walking the red carpet at foreign film festivals.

Not many of Pei Fei's works are known for her beauty, so walking on the red carpet is not enough for her. The dinner parties and cocktail parties at the three major film festivals and the four major fashion weeks are very suitable for her, and they are much more high-end than walking on the red carpet.

During the New York Fashion Week two years ago, Xie Jingxing attended a private social dinner hosted by the Chanel brand. At the door, he was stopped by a silly middle-aged female compatriot who said she wanted to buy his dinner invitation for $5,000. The maximum price was $10,000, which was the market price!
Don't try to bully her because she comes from China and doesn't know anything...

That female compatriot was Pei Fei's mother. At that time, Pei Fei was wearing a thin evening dress and shivering in the cold wind of a February night in New York. The security guards at the dinner were very dismissive of the female star from China.

Even more unfortunate was that the entertainment reporter they wanted was not at the dinner. Sitting in the study room on the second floor of the dinner was the head of the European region of Bunge, one of the four largest international grain traders who had just been defeated by Hualiang 1V4.

Concubine Pei, who was good at English but didn't know French, volunteered to accompany Xie Jingxing into the study room. She wore an elegant smile and blinked her clear and stupid eyes. She listened to the whole process of the commercial secrets about the import and export of large-scale advanced agricultural machinery, which were worth millions of dollars and would be locked up in the customs' small black room and other relevant departments to claim them.

After that, Concubine Pei became Xie Jingxing's collection.

"This is a high-end piece, right? Can I wear it on the red carpet?"

Concubine Pei gestured with her hands, her bright eyes more dazzling than the ruby ​​ring on her finger.

Xie Jingxing didn't quite understand these, he just simply thought: "We bought it with our own money, not rented, why can't we wear it."

"Forget it...you don't understand." Concubine Pei was too lazy to explain.

Harry Winston's style is higher than Van Cleef & Arpels, which means that the female celebrity who can borrow Harry Winston jewelry to walk the red carpet must be of higher status than her. If they don't inform each other in advance when walking on the red carpet and wear the same jewelry, they will become enemies.

She was a little discouraged: "Just wear it everyday."

"Make a custom crown, the kind from Chaumet, to wear on the red carpet." Xie Jingxing said seriously.

Concubine Pei's expression froze and her eyes widened: "Do you know how much the Chaumet Paris crown costs? It can buy two Rolls-Royces, the only custom-made ones in the world."

"Doesn't your mother look at the Forbes Rich List every day?" Xie Jingxing couldn't help laughing.
