Chapter 576 - 559 Box Office
Lu Jiaxin returned to Hong Kong and rested for a day before she went back to work. Her first stop was Green Forest; although she hadn’t been there long, the number of stores had increased by eight during this time. Susan and Xu Yue still preferred a steady and solid approach, but Lu Jiaxin wasn’t afraid to take risks, and with her push, the progress was even faster.
As of now, 128 stores had been opened, and Lu Jiaxin’s temporary goal was set at 200 stores, at which point she would slow down.
Fashion was her old trade and didn’t require much effort; she just needed to oversee the overall direction and leave the specifics to Xu Yue and Susan. Xinxin Real Estate mainly focused on collecting rents; the previous issue with senior executives exploiting loopholes was due to inadequate supervision, a mistake she would not make a second time.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Jiaxin arrived at Wanjia Film and Television.
Tian Pengyu said with a smile, "Boss, the box office for ’Gambling God’ has come out, totaling 36.86 million. Boss, we made 10 million from this movie."
Lu Jiaxin glanced at him and said, "Including taxes and various expenses, this 10 million’s net profit is only about 8 million."
Tian Pengyu immediately thought of her rent-collecting company, and his smile faltered, "Boss, although Wanjia can’t compare with your other businesses, it has its advantages. ’Legally Blonde’ boosted the sales of Green Forest women’s clothing and Five Auspicious jewelry; ’Gambling God’ boosted the sales of Green Forest men’s clothing, I heard many styles are sold out."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him and said, "If it wasn’t for enhancing the clothing and jewelry companies, do you think I’d bother writing scripts with so much effort?"
All the big and small matters of Wanjia Film and Television were handled by Tian Pengyu, and Lu Jiaxin hadn’t interfered. The reason she was so at ease was firstly because the profits were not high, and secondly, because Nie Zhan had said their family owed a debt of gratitude to Tian Pengyu. Old Master Nie had once saved Tian Pengyu’s parents and later helped his three siblings complete their university education. It was also for this reason, even though Nie Jingting constantly produced flops, Tian Pengyu remained dedicated. Even when other film companies offered him high salaries, he never wavered.
Tian Pengyu said with a smile, "Yes, our company owes its success to you, boss."
