Chapter 113: Core club

In a hidden alley in Manhattan, there is such a club hidden, the door is unremarkable, and the crowds coming and going look unattractive, but it has a unique and memorable name: core.

That is, the core club, because of its deliberately low-key, won the favor of celebrities and nobles. The rich and powerful in the city shuttled among them. Once they crossed the seemingly unremarkable gate, they will suddenly find that there is something unique and unique.

For example, a random bottle of mineral water in a glass bottle without a label is priced at $350.

The "core" has carved beams and painted buildings, with magnificent top restaurants; comfortable, spacious and artistic suites; all-inclusive luxury spas; the most advanced fitness equipment; and cultural activities for elites from all walks of life.

After becoming a club member, you can not only enjoy high-end services such as private aviation and yacht rental, but also get VIP tickets for sports and concerts, and receive the best quality and considerate services from Bulgari Hotel.

And the most valuable assets of the "core" are naturally celebrities from various fields, from athletes to Victoria's Secret supermodels, from architects to financial upstarts, as well as senior government officials, real estate tycoons, media giants, etc. Xiongzhou Wulie, handsome stars chi.

There is often a turning point at this time.

However, Yang Cheng did not join the core. To be sure, the young men and women like him and Georgina have their own circle of activities. They also have channels and means to enjoy the above-mentioned benefits. Even if they do not have a membership card, these are exposed The top clubs outside will not refuse their admission. When they reach a certain position, the face is the best proof.

The reason why I came here at noon was not to make an appointment with Amanda Hirst. Last night, I tried to coax Georgina on the boat. Before others regretted it, I still got Amanda into the group. , Fudge money into your hand and pocket it for safety is king.

This crazy woman didn’t know what to think. Her own spa facility was the best in the world. She had to go to this spa in the corner during the day. After getting out of the car, Yang Cheng looked up at the ordinary stained glass without a plaque. The door curled his lips and slandered.

Opening the door, Yang Cheng's feet had not yet fallen, and a beautiful woman in a purple uniform bowed and greeted, "Good day, gentleman, this is a private club. You can't enter without a membership card."

mmp, the face slapped so quickly, just returning the face is the best proof, "Don't you know me?"

Yang Cheng lost his voice in amazement. At this moment, he thoroughly experienced the embarrassing situation of Wang Congcong's past life when he was turned away from the exhibition without a ticket.

This is New York, Manhattan, not Los Angeles Hollywood. Didn't your manager teach you to recognize the celebrities in the city?

"Um~ sorry, sir, I am new here, I may not remember everything, are you a member of our club?" The beauty smiled politely and awkwardly.

Yang Cheng grimace, just like who stabbed his backyard flower, and replied angrily, "No, I'm here to find someone."

"Oh, sorry sir, you can stay here for a while and I'll find someone for you." In a word, don't even think about entering the door without a card.

Yang Cheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with this girl, "No, I'll call someone to come out."

I found out Amanda's number and dialed it out, and it was connected after a while, "Are you here?"

"Well, it turns out that people won't let in. It's a high threshold."

Faced with Yang Cheng's ridicule, the beautiful waiter still maintained a standard smile.

On the phone, Amanda smiled, "Haha, deserve it, who told you to pretend to be cold and not apply for membership?"

"Stop, come out and pick me up quickly. It's too shameful to stand at the door." Yang Cheng had no choice but to urge the crazy woman.

"OK, wait a minute, I will let their manager go down." Amanda responded with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng and the beauty service stared at the door. Fortunately, after waiting for less than 1 minute, a man in a suit and manager rushed out and stretched out his hands across the distance, "Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry, she is new here and she is not skilled in business. Don't blame it."

Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook his manager's hand, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I am not Benjamin Franklin. There is no need for everyone to know me. It's all things. Take me to Amanda."

"Okay, I apologize to Mr. Yang again. Sister Hirst is at the spa and told me to take Mr. Yang directly in." The manager glared at the waiter and respectfully led the way.

Those who visit the club are mainly a group of second-generation or well-timed celebrities, so there is no difference between the off-season and peak seasons, and they are always greeted and sent seven days a week, and there is no free time.

Yang Cheng took the elevator to the 4th floor. The decoration style changed abruptly. The downstairs is magnificent and luxurious, while the 4th floor uses more purple tones to highlight the romantic atmosphere. There are a lot of tulle curtains on the walls. , It is the route of noble princess style, because most of the women who use this layer are women.

After turning a few corridors, the manager opened a door, but did not go in. Instead, he did not dare to watch and stood outside the door and said, "Mr. Yang, Sister Hirst is in this room. It is not convenient for me. Go in, forgive me."

Yang Cheng nodded, thanked him, and walked into the misty room.

The door was closed after Yang Cheng entered the room, stepping on the original-color marble floor, a pink bathrobe with interwoven patterns hung on the wall, through the hazy mist, an enchanting figure lying in a huge high-tech claw spa bathtub In, beckon to Yang Cheng.

"What are you doing?" Yang Cheng walked over with a bitter smile, looking down at Amanda, who was hidden in the foam, only revealing the supple face and the blond hair.

The whole room is actually a luxuriously decorated bathroom. You can see finely crafted crystals everywhere. The top of the head is a classic Swiss ceiling. The large and comfortable massage water bed is placed by the window. Through the single-sided glass, the outside is green. The central courtyard.

Steam bath and glass sauna can all be satisfied in this room.

The 50-inch LCD TV directly opposite the bathtub was showing the catwalks of New York Fashion Week, and Amanda watched the latest fashion items on the models intently.

Hearing Yang Cheng's arrival, he turned his head and said with rippling eyes, "Do you want to be together?"

"Forget it, I have no blessings."

Being squeezed by Georgina last night was a bit cruel, and she couldn't raise the mood of doing sports at all.

"Cut, it's boring." Georgina pouted dissatisfiedly and poured water on Yang Cheng.

"Hey, stop making trouble, I'm talking about business with you, do you want to put on your clothes and come out first?" Yang Cheng frowned and talked softly.

Only people and women are difficult to raise, this is true.

"That's it, I just came in and soaked it for a while." Amanda playfully scooped up the colorful bubbles and blew them in the direction of Yang Orange.

It doesn’t matter where Yang Cheng talks. It doesn’t matter where the money is in place. He leaned against the wall, wrapped in steam, covered him a little bit hot, breathless, took off his suit and threw it on the sink, and asked, " Remember at the forum company dinner, Georgina invested in my new company?"

"Hmm, I remember." Amanda put down the foam and played with the water. After a little memory, she remembered the scene.

"That is the media group I am going to set up, with the Forum Company and Lionsgate Films as the main body. But the pure paper media and film and television business are not enough to support the overall framework of the future group. There is still a lack of an influential brand weekly. It happens to have a suitable goal, but I need financial support."

Amanda threw a puddle of water on her face, and said after a few seconds of silence, "I can probably guess your goal."

Yang Cheng said he didn't believe it.

"It's Time Magazine, right?" Amanda smiled in her eyes and guessed triumphantly.

Yang Cheng was stunned, "Don't you also read Time Magazine, right?"

Fortunately, Amanda shook her head, causing Yang Cheng's heart to fall back.

"It's not me, someone else." Who knows Yang Cheng's heart hasn't settled yet, Amanda panted and added another sentence.

Seeing Yang Cheng's anxious expression, she no longer sold her, "It's Meredith."

Yang Cheng's brain is like a mess, and the wave is not calmed up again, and the heart is so tired. This is obviously a book of enjoyment. Why should he suffer so much? Can't it be smoother? Is it cursed by someone?

Listening to Amanda slowly coming up with information about Meredith,

"Founded in the early 20th century, Meredith is headquartered in Iowa. It is a diversified media company that has been deeply involved in the American household consumer market and is the second largest consumer magazine company in the United States.

It owns life style publications such as "Good Home" and "Family Magazine".

It can be regarded as a powerful media company with a market value of around US$2.5 billion. "

When the voice fell, Amanda pointed to Yang Cheng's desperate and unlovable expression and smiled, "What's the matter? Why do you look like the earth is destroyed?"

Yang Cheng waved her hand, set her mood, smelled the fresh citrus fragrance, and suggested, "It's okay, what do you think? Would you like to invest in me?"

"How much did Georgina invest? How many shares does it take?" Amanda's white arm with water drops on the edge of the bathtub, her chin pressed on her arm, looking at Yang Cheng in search, waiting for the answer.

"For 500 million U.S. dollars, the number of shares depends on the outcome of the negotiation. It should be around 14%." Yang Cheng recruited truthfully, as long as Amanda wanted to check it, it could be found. There was no need to keep it secret.

"A valuation of 3.5 billion?" Amanda's head was like a calculator, blurting out after Yang Cheng's voice.

I calculated it carefully in my mind, "I invest in my own name and demand the same treatment as Georgina."

Yang Cheng hugged her shoulders, bent her right leg and stared at the wall, "This is impossible. When Georgina became a shareholder, there were still some assets that were not included. I also recently acquired a Hollywood film company that had a movie company under its name. In the series of films shot, it is expected to bring hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits, and the time magazine company that will be acquired will have a valuation of at least 6 billion."

"Jason, do you use me as a bitch? It's not funny to use unearned profits into current assets. Don't forget, you need my capital to acquire Time Magazine and lose me. What do you take to acquire the funds of yours? Now it is you who beg me, not me."

When it comes to interests, Amanda refuses to give up, coldly said cruelly, the undulating peaks are splashing.

Yang Cheng was even more ruthless, showing a cynic attitude, and sneered, "So what? If you decide to invest, you are also optimistic about the acquisition plan. My purpose of external financing is to acquire Time Magazine. It is very clear. If you are not optimistic, you don't need to invest. I didn't force it.

And after the formation of the new group, I will promote the listing as soon as possible. You should be aware of how powerful the group that includes Forum, Lionsgate, and Time Magazine is attractive to Wall Street and stockholders. Making money is inevitable. You The vision should be long-term. "
