Chapter 408: Funny Assistant Lin
Special Assistant Lin didn't expect Ji Sheng to give Hu Xiaoxiao such a high evaluation. He smiled and said, "Then Ji Sheng, guess what Miss Hu wants to discuss with you?"
Ji Sheng said, "Her career focus is in the film industry, and the only thing I have in the film industry that could attract her is cinemas. Based on the recent troubles at Shengshi Entertainment, I guess she wants to talk to me about cinemas."
"Shengshi Entertainment wants to buy Ji's Cinema?" Lin, Ji Sheng's special assistant, was very familiar with Ji's Cinema's financial and operational situation. Although the profits had decreased in recent years, it still made a lot of money for Ji's company. "Will Ji Sheng sell it?"
"I'm a businessman." Ji Sheng smiled.
Assistant Lin understood that as a businessman, as long as the profit was sufficient, there was nothing that could not be negotiated. If the negotiation failed, it must be because the payment was not in place.
But the price of an entire cinema chain of Ji's is an astronomical figure. It's not that Special Assistant Lin looks down on Shengshi Entertainment. Shengshi Entertainment has been developed for too short a time, and it is almost impossible to come up with such a large sum of money.
However, this is not his concern.
What he should be worried about is that since Ji Sheng has guessed Hu Xiaoxiao's intentions, then as a special assistant, he should have his staff begin to evaluate the market value of Ji's Cinema Line and investigate the financial situation of Shengshi Entertainment. If the other party really wants to buy it, they will be fully prepared to negotiate with Shengshi Entertainment.
After Hu Xiaoxiao made an appointment with Ji Sheng, he began a series of preparations. First, he wrote down all the information about Ji's Cinema Line, then asked about Ji Sheng's preferences, and got two boxes of top-quality new tea from Luo Cheng's tea house.
On this day, Hu Xiaoxiao drove his newly bought sports car and brought two boxes of new tea to the agreed place.
This is a club located halfway up the mountain with beautiful scenery, integrating entertainment, catering and business.
Ji Sheng often talks business with people here and is one of the most distinguished guests of the club.
After Hu Xiaoxiao parked the car and walked to the clubhouse gate with tea in hand, Special Assistant Lin was already waiting there.
"Assistant Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Hu Xiaoxiao took off his sunglasses and walked towards Assistant Lin.
Special Assistant Lin glanced at his watch and said, "Miss Hu, we still have half an hour until the agreed time. You're early, not me. I just saw a guest off. Miss Hu, please come in. Mr. Ji has already reserved a table."
"It's no wonder that Ji Sheng's business is so successful. Even at his age, he's still busy and passionate about his work. This spirit is worth learning from for me, a junior." After praising Ji Sheng, Hu Xiaoxiao also praised Assistant Lin. "Assistant Lin is even more amazing. Ji Group has so many businesses, and everything has to be reported to Ji Sheng. If it weren't for Assistant Lin's extraordinary work ability, no one else would be able to handle so many things, let alone help Ji Sheng share the burden. In my opinion, Assistant Lin has made an indelible contribution to the success of Ji Group. No wonder everyone outside praises Assistant Lin and wishes they had someone as capable and talented as him by their side."
Special Assistant Lin's serious, slightly indifferent face revealed a faint smile. "Ms. Hu, thank you for the compliment. No matter how capable I am, I am still an employee. Ms. Hu is a role model for my generation. At such a young age, she not only has an acting career that she loves, but also owns a large company with a promising future. Ms. Hu is not only an idol star loved by all Hong Kong people, but also a role model for all young people in Hong Kong to emulate..."
As Hu Xiaoxiao listened, she realized that Special Assistant Lin was being particularly nice and friendly to her today.
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes moved, and she tried again, praising Special Assistant Lin again. Then Special Assistant Lin praised her again. It was a two-way exchange, full of respect.
This attitude has become several degrees higher than before.
Hu Xiaoxiao remembered that when he was filming for a TV station, he met this special assistant Lin. He was so cold and ruthless, he was simply impartial and stern.
But today, his smile is refreshing, his words are pleasant to the ears, and he has become extremely witty and humorous.
Hu Xiaoxiao's heart was at peace.
Special Assistant Lin is Ji Sheng's confidant. Her words and actions represent Ji Sheng's attitude. From Special Assistant Lin's behavior towards her, it can be seen that Ji Sheng values her.
In this way, her chances of winning over Ji's Cinemas increased significantly.
Hu Xiaoxiao followed Special Assistant Lin into the elevator and went up to the top floor.
The supreme suite on the top floor can only be booked by the supreme VIPs of the club, and Ji Sheng has booked a suite on the top floor all year round.
It is more like a full-function business suite than a suite, which has a lounge, a restaurant, a conference room, a tea room and a reception room.
When Special Assistant Lin saw Hu Xiaoxiao bringing the tea, he led Hu Xiaoxiao to the tea room and said, "Ji Sheng is also drinking tea in the tea room. He will definitely like the tea Miss Hu sent."
The tea room is quite large, which is even more valuable in Treasure Harbor, where every inch of land is valuable. And this is just a small place in the suite.
The environment of the tea room is very good, with precious green plants placed inside. As soon as you enter, you will see lush greenery everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed.
Then the entire wall inside is made of floor-to-ceiling glass, so you can see the mountains outside, and the farthest thing is the waves and flying seagulls.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, there is a root carving tea table, and the matching chairs are also of similar style.
Ji Sheng was already sitting in front of the tea table, looking at the scenery outside.
The window of the tea room was half open, and the cool sea breeze blew in, making the air much fresher.
"Ms. Hu, you're here." Ji Sheng turned his head and said to Hu Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked over, the sea breeze lifted her hair slightly, and her eyes were smiling brightly, as if the tea room became sunny after she came in.
"Ji Sheng, just call me Xiao Xiao. In business, you are the elder, and in personal relationship, Wan Wen and I are like sisters. I should respectfully call you uncle."
Ji Sheng invited Hu Xiaoxiao to sit down and said with a smile, "Okay, from now on I'll call you Xiaoxiao, and you don't have to call me Ji Sheng anymore. Just call me uncle."
"Uncle Ji." Hu Xiaoxiao immediately changed his tone and placed the tea leaves in front of Ji Sheng. "These are two boxes of new tea I just got. I brought them here for Ji Sheng to taste."
Ji Sheng took it and said, "Then ask the tea artist to come over and taste this new tea together."
Special Assistant Lin went out and called the tea artist from the club over.
The tea artist walked in gracefully in a simple cheongsam. Her hair was tied up in a beautiful bun and her pretty face had a perfect smile, making her look very amiable.
The tea artist filled a pot of spring water and boiled it, then opened the tea box and looked at the tea leaves before deciding on the water temperature to use for brewing the tea.
Different teas require different water temperatures.
For green tea, use water between 80 and 85 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is too high, the tea leaves will overcook, losing their refreshing taste and becoming bitter. If the water temperature is not high enough, the tea's aroma will be lost.
