Island Tycoon

Chapter 496 Princess Jin's Arrears
After finalizing the matters of the ancestral house, Ye Jingcheng completed the purchase of the furniture in the house and the employment of the management personnel required by the villa through Qianlong Real Estate.

There are a total of thirteen servants who have signed long-term contracts, four of whom are in charge of patrolling the villa in shifts, four are in charge of daily cleaning, and there are also one gardener, one electrician, one cook, and one maintenance worker. A steward who manages these people.

Of course, the security of the villa needs to be arranged separately. These people are only the first batch of hired people, and new servants will join in the future. When Ye Jingcheng selected them, he valued their innocence.

As for the hostess of the house, it is better to decide in a few days.

However, this butler deserves Ye Jingcheng's attention. In the future, the trivial matters of the ancestral house will be handled by this butler on his behalf, so Ye Jingcheng naturally needs to understand it first.

Secondly, the background of this housekeeper is not small. His real name is Zhang De, and he is 68 years old this year.I heard that the ancestors once appeared in the world, but I don't know when it was.However, based on his performance, he is very suitable for the post of housekeeper.

Just as Ye Jingcheng came down from the second floor, Zhang De stood straight on the stairs and called out, "Master."

Ye Jingcheng was not used to the title of 'Master', because it sounded more concerned about the word 'old', and secondly, it sounded like returning to the ancient court.

But Ye Jingcheng didn't open his voice to modify it, or a wealthy family should have its own rules, and Zhang De will be allowed to formulate these things in the future.

"Master, breakfast is ready." On the dining table, there was a Chinese and Western breakfast.

Ye Jingcheng sat down, gave up the Western-style breakfast of ham and eggs with milk, and chose the other side of the shrimp and vegetable porridge and a few side dishes, and said lightly: "In the future, I will cook it lightly in the morning."

"Understood, master." Zhang De bowed.

It was the first time to prepare breakfast for Ye Jingcheng today, so the Chinese and Western breakfast on the table was more to test Ye Jingcheng's taste.Because as a housekeeper, he absolutely can't wait for Ye Jingcheng to speak up for everything, and sometimes he has to figure out the other party's psychology to make arrangements.

After breakfast, Ye Jingcheng said: "Today, people from the security company will take over the security system here. From now on, the four security guards will only be responsible for patrolling the villa."

"I understand." Zhang De nodded.Also when Ye Jingcheng was about to get up, he helped the other party pull back the chair.

It wasn't until Ye Jingcheng left by car that he stopped watching at the door and returned to the villa to deal with other matters.

……

Now Ye Jingcheng no matter whether it is the banking business, or the concentrated investment of a few pieces of land, or a large amount of US dollar currency storage.The business issues are slowly getting on the right track, and he no longer needs to worry too much.

So his focus shifted back to the film company, and today he came to Qingdeng Entertainment as usual.

It's just that not long after he sat down, Li Ying, whose face was originally dark, came to the office with a darker face.Ye Jingcheng delegated authority to him and Zheng Wenya to handle most of the things, but it didn't mean they could handle everything well.

The same thing happened this time, because the last time "Prison Storm" was released jointly with Princess Jin, Princess Jin hadn't sent the remittance slip yet.Li Ying went to the door to collect debts again and again to no avail, so he could only come to Ye Jingcheng with a bad face.

"What's the reason given by Princess Jin?" Ye Jingcheng said solemnly.

"I heard that the Kowloon Bus under Lei Sheng's name has been greatly affected by the financial crisis this time. Therefore, Lei Sheng has been busy with various affairs during this time, which caused Princess Jin's center of gravity to shift." Li Ying said truthfully. replied.

"Really? Are you really that busy?" Ye Jingcheng narrowed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Or is it that the surname is Lei, who thinks he won't take care of the company's affairs, and plans to play Zou Wenhuai's hand?"

"Ye Sheng, then..." Li Ying naturally lost a little bit of confidence in speaking because he didn't do a good job.Now that he saw Ye Jingcheng's cannibalistic eyes, he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter." Ye Jingcheng looked away and assured the ticket: "For the matter of tens of millions, he, Lei Sheng, is a respectable person. I believe he has no reason to owe us."

"Then..." After a little hesitation, Li Ying stopped being entangled.Taking advantage of Ye Jingcheng's comments, he informed him of the company's recent operations.

The first is the company's recent operating problems, because it has been affected by the real estate plunge and the financial crisis, which has led to an indirect decrease in the number of audiences entering the theater for consumption.Many producers and directors are also dealing with their own financial problems for insurance reasons, so the number of films put into production is also small.

Fewer films can be screened if they can pass the theater review.Therefore, the current Nanguo theater chain can only maintain a state of not losing money by relying solely on the share of other film companies.However, in terms of the current market conditions, it is already profitable to be able to avoid losses.

What's more, Qingdeng Entertainment also has its own movies, which help theaters earn some income.Among them is Huang Baiming's "Little Life is Afraid" earlier, which won a total of more than 200 million at the box office.

If the market is the best, the box office can still rise, but Huang Baiming himself is already very satisfied with this result.

Because after deducting half of the theater chain's share, and Ye Jingcheng's 50% share in Oriental Film Distribution Co., Ltd., the final share of the funds in his hands was more than three million yuan.

This income is definitely a huge amount and encouragement for a person in charge of a newly established film company.After all, not everyone is called Ye Jingcheng, everyone can create his legend.

Moreover, most filmmakers can't even produce a movie with a box office of 300 million, let alone Huang Baiming's share of more than 300 million.

Now Huang Baiming is planning to take advantage of the victory to pursue another film of "Young Master Weiwei". Preparations have already begun in terms of actors, scenes, and manpower.

As for another satellite company under the name of Qingdeng Entertainment - 'Chengbao Film Production Co., Ltd'.

After "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", the director of the company, Hong Jinbao, obviously did not believe in that evil, and believed that the last box office failure was completely affected by "Best Partner" at that time.

So this time he made another "Scary People" of the same type, and the results were actually very good.In normal times, it can still hit the box office of tens of millions. Unfortunately, the market conditions on the entire Hong Kong Island are not good, and it can finally break through the box office of 900 million.

After seven deductions and eight deductions, the funds that fell into his hands were about two million.I just don’t know if he, who has experienced making quick money a few times, thinks that the money comes too slowly and too little.
