Chapter 591: 574 Chapter – Green Forest Listed
The listing of Green Forest has not only attracted celebrity gossip but also praise from the Evening News, comnding Lu Jiaxin as the youngest chairman of a listed company in Hong Kong, with a promising future.
Lu Jiaxin ca from the Mainland five years ago, initially seeking refuge with Madam Guh. Yet in just five years, through her own efforts, she beca the boss of a listed company. Now, with success in both career and love, she is the envy of many as a winner in life.
Susan called Lu Jiaxin, saying a reporter wanted to interview her: “Boss, this reporter is from the Economic Herald, one of the most prestigious financial magazines in Hong Kong. Boss, if you agree to the interview, it could help more people recognize our company, and positive feedback could even increase our stock price.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “As long as the company is managed well, with an annual profit growth of over twenty percent, the stock price will naturally rise. But since it’s a rare opportunity, you and Xu Yue should take the interview together!”
Susan hesitated, “Boss, the reporter wants to interview you specifically. If you don’t attend, the interview might get canceled.”
Lu Jiaxin replied indifferently, “If it gets canceled, so be it!”
So people love such interviews, as they not only benefit the company but can also enhance personal fa and elevate social status. However, she doesn’t like them and refuses to force herself.
Susan guessed she wouldn’t accept the interview. Ever since the near-kidnapping incident, her boss has beco increasingly low-key, to the point where paparazzi can’t even capture a clear picture of her.
Later that evening, Zong Shing called her, laughing, “Jiaxin, congratulations on becoming the youngest female chairman in Hong Kong.”
“Thank you, Sister Shing.”
“Such a big achievent calls for a celebration. Are you free this weekend? We should get together if you are.”
Lu Jiaxin replied apologetically, “I can’t make it these two weeks. This week I need to inspect a newly built factory in the Mainland, and next week I’m going to Australia for business talks.”
Hearing this, Zong Shing laughed, “You used to complain that Nie Zhan kept standing you up and beca the king of no-shows. Now you manage a company yourself, so you must realize how busy it is.”
Lu Jiaxin disagreed with this, “I could understand if work was the reason he stood up, since work is important. But the issue was that most of the ti it was because of personal family issues.”
At first, she could understand, but eventually, she beca truly annoyed. Luckily, Nie Zhan promised not to get involved anymore.
Speaking of this, Zong Shing said, “I heard that Nie Zhan’s Mommy is coming back next week, so you’d better be prepared.”
Lu Jiaxin genuinely didn’t know about this, but she didn’t care much: “Nie Zhan and I haven’t even gotten engaged yet, so it has nothing to do with if she returns.”
“If I recall correctly, you haven’t t her yet.”
Lu Jiaxin acknowledged with a hum, “Never t her, and I’m not interested. Even if I marry Nie Zhan in the future, I won’t have any contact with her.”
Considering Lu Jiaxin’s assets, she indeed doesn’t need to cater to her in-laws. But everyone lives their own life, and unlike Lu Jiaxin, who can handle business so well, she believes in maintaining her own small family and raising a few children.
Zong Shing laughed, “I had a check-up, and the doctor said it’s a boy. Initially, I thought it was a girl because of the symptoms; wanted one of each gender.”
“Boys are good,” Lu Jiaxin said sincerely. The Hu Family prefers boys over girls, so having more sons could stabilize her position. Plus, having just one daughter ans she will be cherished.
Speaking pessimistically, having three sons as a backup, if Hu Zhifeng ever finds his true love and wants a divorce, the elders in the family wouldn’t agree. Of course, the probability of this is very low since Hu Zhifeng is not the type to fall head over heels.
“How about you? When are you planning to marry Nie Zhan?”
Lu Jiaxin didn’t deflect and directly shared her plan: “Engagent this year. As for marriage, it depends on Nie Zhan’s performance. If he does well, we could marry before I turn twenty-five; if not, we’ll see.”
Zong Shing was taken aback, “Engagent this year? When was this decided?”
“We haven’t picked a date yet! Once we do, I’ll definitely let you know first.”
Hearing this, Zong Shing couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you have a rough idea when? If it’s in the latter half of the year, I can help you organize.”
A lot needs to be prepared for an engagent. On Nie’s side, there’s Nie Manli and Mrs. Nie Senior, but on Jiaxin’s side, there’s no reliable elder.
“Planning to choose a date for the latter half of the year, too much going on in the first half and no ti.”
The next day at work, Lu Jiaxin first held a high-level eting. With the company listed, high-level mbers like Susan and Xu Yue had shares, starting with original stocks. Currently, Green Forest’s stock is trading at 3.9 Hong Kong Dollars each, while their original stock was 1.8 Hong Kong Dollars each.
The eting focused on Green Forest’s developnt direction for the coming year. Lu Jiaxin is no longer expanding and plans to focus on signing more international brands and developing her own brands. Following Rosemary, Lu Jiaxin has also launched a fashion brand and a sports brand.
During the eting, so executives also made suggestions. The good ones Lu Jiaxin would adopt, while the bad ones she dismissed outright. She holds 65% of Green Forest’s shares and has absolute authority in the company.
After the eting, her newly hired secretary, Ye Zhuojun, reported an issue: “Boss, President Tian from Wanjia Film and Television called earlier, saying there’s an important matter to discuss.”
Knowing how busy Lu Jiaxin is, President Tian specifically ntioned it was important, fearing she might overlook it, and eventually forget altogether.
Lu Jiaxin imdiately called back Tian Pengyu. “What’s the matter?”
Tian Pengyu laughed, “Television stations in Bay Island and Macao want to buy the rights to ‘Prestigious Family.’ Korea wants to buy the rights to ‘Legally Blonde 1.'”
‘Legally Blonde 2’ is already in production, with the original cast. Lu Jiaxin is giving market-rate salaries, and with the previous massive success, actors can’t refuse. If they do, others are ready to take their place. Just like ‘Gambling God 2,’ it’s about to start filming, and countless people want a part in it. Keeping the benefits in-house, major roles are untouchable, and extras are all newcors from Wanjia Film and Television.
Previously, Tian Pengyu said they needed to train new talents instead of always dressing benefits for other companies. Lu Jiaxin didn’t refuse but felt there was a mismatch with the roles. With suitable scripts, she would definitely push her company’s newcors.
Lu Jiaxin inquired about the pricing. The prices from Bay Island and Macau Television Stations were market-rate, which was fine, but the price offered by Korea was too low.
After thinking about it, Lu Jiaxin said, “2 million greenbacks, nothing less. However, if they agree, we can cooperate on a revenue-sharing basis.”
Selling off the rights is a one-ti deal; no matter how successful it gets in their country, it won’t relate back to her. However, with revenue sharing, you continue to earn as long as there are profits. Lu Jiaxin is confident about the projects she oversees.
From her high price for a buyout, Tian Pengyu realized the boss was leaning towards cooperation on a revenue-sharing basis. After all, even ‘Gambling God,’ entirely bought by Jiahe, sold for 900 million greenbacks.
“Alright, I’ll discuss it with them again.”
