Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 218 Fatty Fan's Letter of Submission

Sister Li came to Hong Kong not to stroll around, but to invest.

She noticed that there was something wrong with Tongchan, so she sold out her shares in Tongchan without hesitation, cashed out several hundred million and left. Now there is a balance of 700 million in Qinshi’s capital account.

Liu Jing had less than one million yuan in his account and felt insecure.

With so much money in the account, Sister Li doesn't feel safe.

Youku was preparing to raise $1200 million in the first round of financing, but Li Jie was not prepared to invest more and only threw in $400 million.

Qinshi Capital has developed over the years and has not invested in many companies, but each of them is very outstanding.

He holds 15% of Kingsoft's shares, which are now worth more than 20 billion yuan. Kingsoft has already started its IPO plan and will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market in the second half of next year.

With 16% of the shares of Penguin, the market value of Penguin is nearly 300 billion. The investment of less than 40 million yuan at that time is now worth billion yuan. Whenever Sister Li thinks of this investment, she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.

企鹅2001年净利润一千万，2002年净利润4000万，到了2003年税后净利润直接飞到3.4亿。2004年4.4亿，2005年净利润4.9亿，今年预估净利润能破十亿。

Today, Penguin's main sources of income come from Internet value-added services, mobile and telecommunications value-added services, and online advertising.

NetEase has a market value of US$25 billion. Qinshi Capital holds 9% of NetEase's shares, worth RMB 18 billion.

The news of the upcoming beauty and skin care drug has stimulated a surge in Kangmei Pharmaceutical's stock price, which is now worth 50 billion. Qinshi Capital holds 52% of Kangmei's shares, with a market value of 25 billion.

When Joyo.com was acquired by Amazon, Li Jie received 2300 million US dollars and bought all of Amazon's shares, holding a total of 0.2% of the shares. Two years later, the stock price has hardly moved, which Li Jie considers to be the most failed investment.

The shares currently held by Qinshi Capital have a market value of nearly 90 billion.

Together with Chunqiu Academy, Chunqiu Pictures and the cash in the account, Liu Jing's family assets easily exceeded 10 billion yuan, enough to rank among the top three richest people in mainland China.

In the 2005 Forbes Rich List, the Rong family ranked first with a fortune of 133 billion yuan, Ding Lei ranked third with a fortune of 102 billion yuan, and Guo Guangchang ranked seventh with a fortune of 88.7 billion yuan.

Sister Li had two things to do when she came to Hong Kong this time. The first was to acquire Golden Harvest and enrich Spring and Autumn Pictures' overseas channels.

Two months ago, Chen Guoqiang purchased Jiahe's two-year convertible notes for RMB 5000 million, indirectly increasing his stake in Jiahe.

He intended to acquire Golden Harvest, but unfortunately the negotiations failed.

When the news came out that Zou Wenhuai was interested in selling Jiahe shares, Sister Li had an idea.

The negotiations between Sister Li and Zou Wenhuai were not very smooth.

The once glorious Golden Harvest has now become much more desolate, with a market value of only about HK$25 million. Zou Wenhuai holds less than 1.5% of Golden Harvest's shares, and Li Jie is ready to buy it at a premium of HK$ million.

Zou Wenhuai asked for 200 million yuan, but Sister Li was not a sucker, so she was naturally unwilling to accept it, so the negotiations came to a standstill.

The second thing is that she wants to obtain Hong Kong identity so that it will be more convenient to invest.

Since Sister Li is here, of course we book two rooms for the night.

Liu Jing had one room by himself, and the mother and daughter were in another.

Sister Li stayed in Hong Kong for two days, concluded the first negotiation, and took Xixi back to Yandu.

Liu Jing did not leave. He has been with Chen Kexin and several screenwriters of "The Warlords" these days, and the script of "The Warlords" has been revised a lot.

"Alas! Of course we know about the problem of historical background. But there is no other way. We have to do this for the sake of the international market." Chen Kexin adopted many of Liu Jing's suggestions, but he did not accept them all.

"International market?" Liu Jing suddenly realized. He thought the screenwriters were idiots, but it turns out they also knew the problem.

He felt that the historical background of the film was too vague, which could easily lead to misunderstandings among the audience, and that the three officials were like NPC commentators.

"Last year, the North American box office was 89 billion US dollars, and the UK's was 21 billion US dollars. In Asia, Japan's was 18 billion US dollars, South Korea's was 12 billion US dollars, India's was 10 billion US dollars, and our country was only 2.5 million US dollars. With a production cost of million US dollars, if we pin our hopes on the domestic market, this movie will definitely lose everything. I invited Li Lianjie and you to join the team just to get the international box office," Chen Kexin explained patiently.

The director still had a good impression of Liu Jing, and Liu Jing's offer in Hollywood was already several million dollars. When he approached Zhang Min, Zhang Min asked for 40 million.

After a week of talking, Zhang Min was unwilling to give in too much.

Chen Kexin was not willing to spend so much, as that would definitely exceed the budget.

As they talked, things took a turn for the better and Liu Jing asked to see the latest version of the script first.

Chen Kexin sent it over immediately, and Zhang Min told him that Liu Jing thought the script was good and was willing to make a concession and offer a salary of 12 million, but it had to be after tax and had to be paid in one lump sum.

In addition, he had to agree to two conditions. First, if he felt the script had flaws, he had the right to adjust the script under reasonable circumstances. Second, he hoped that Gao Yuanyuan could be the female lead.

Chen Kexin agreed to the first condition without hesitation.

He couldn't agree to the second condition.

This time, Liu Jing came, in addition to signing the contract, to continue discussing the female lead.

He changed his words so quickly because the system's evaluation showed that the film could win an award.

Chen Kexin didn't know all this and thought Liu Jing really liked the script and admired him as a director.

"The director is right. I didn't think it through enough." Liu Jing sighed, and then changed the subject, "Director, what did China Film say about Gao Yuanyuan's matter?"

"President Han of China Film Group also made a request. Liu Yifei's records have been well promoted in Japan and South Korea. I heard that she has a good relationship with the Samsung Princess. Can we ask her to help arrange more screenings?" Chen Kexin said.

"I can mention this to her, but I can't guarantee that I can do it." Liu Jing looked strange. Li Mengdie contacted him a few days ago and asked him when "Rush Hour 3" would be released. She asked the cinema to schedule more screenings.

The largest cinema chain in South Korea is called CGV, which belongs to CJ Entertainment and is headed by Lee Mi-kyung.

Li Meijing is Li Mengdie's cousin, and they have a common grandfather, Li Bingzhe.

Samsung was in turmoil at that time. Lee Kun-hee inherited Samsung and his brother Lee Meng-hee inherited CJ Group. So many things happened in between that the brothers turned against each other and never had any contact with each other until they died.

Everyone in the Li family knows about Li Mengdie's affairs.

Although the elders are at odds with each other, the younger generations still have a good relationship. Li Mengdie is not only the little princess of Samsung, but also the princess of the entire Li family.

Li Meijing liked this little sister very much. When Li Mengdie set up a film and television company, Li Meijing helped a lot.

In 1995, Lee Mi-kyung founded CJ Entertainment.

In the same year, Spielberg wanted to invite Lee Kun-hee to build DreamWorks. Lee Kun-hee loved movies and had a high status in South Korea, so he was considered the most suitable candidate by the big director.

The famous director set up a lavish banquet, and Lee Kun-hee brought a check for $500 million. During the negotiation process, he increased the investment amount to $900 million.

Spielberg was not happy and the negotiations eventually broke down.

The famous director complained afterwards, "During the whole dinner, this guy kept talking about semiconductors. He mentioned it more than 20 times. Can such a person understand the film industry?"

This investment was eventually taken over by Lee Kun-hee's niece Lee Mi-kyung. CJ Group invested heavily in DreamWorks and also has the exclusive distribution rights for DreamWorks films in China, Hong Kong, South Korea and other places.

So for Li Mengdie, increasing the number of screenings is just a matter of a word.

"Okay! I'll tell China Film Group, you ask Gao Yuanyuan to prepare." Chen Kexin looked normal, but the weirdness in his heart was more interesting than Liu Jing's expression.

Because Xu Jinglei quit this play. He was still enthusiastic and willing a while ago, but suddenly he felt unwell and needed to recuperate for a while.

No one knew this better than Liu Jing. He and Xu Jinglei were not familiar with each other and had only met a few times.

He made a phone call and expressed his willingness directly. Before he even said what price he was willing to pay, Old Xu agreed without hesitation and without any conditions. Liu Jing was a little confused at the time. He looked for Xu Jinglei because he thought everything could be traded.

Since the Beijing circle doesn't work, then I will go directly to the person himself. It's just a resource exchange, which is very common in the entertainment industry.

Who would have thought that Old Xu would be so straightforward and so giving, that Liu Jing couldn't handle it.

Only Xu would dare to be so willful in this matter. The Beijing circle has put in a lot of effort to help her get this role.

She quit the job, and the Beijing circle was furious, but in the end they had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, I'll tell her." Liu Jing nodded.

"By the way, this film will have some intimate scenes. Can she accept that?" Chen Kexin was a little reassured.

"How explicit is it?" Liu Jing felt awe-inspiring, as there weren't many intimate scenes in the script.

“It’s quite large.”

"If it's too explicit, use a body double. I believe you, the director, will have a solution."

"Forehead……"

Everything was settled, and Liu Jing signed the contract directly. He soon received the 12 million after tax, and his sense of security returned.

Chen Kexin wanted to invite him to dinner, but Liu Jing did not stay because an unexpected guest had come to Hong Kong and a hotel had been booked for him.

No matter how talented a director is, he is not as good as Fan Xiaopang.

Fan Xiaopang came to Hong Kong to participate in an event. Since they were in the same city, it was natural for them to contact each other.

Liu Jing rang the doorbell for a minute and was about to make a phone call when the door opened and the spring scenery came in.

Fat Fan was wrapped in a bath towel and looked like he had just finished a shower, with water droplets still on his body.

"Taking a shower at this time?" Liu Jing looked at the time. It was not yet seven o'clock and night had not yet fallen.

"The smell on the plane is too bad. It stinks." Fatty Fan wrinkled his nose, looking a little disgusted. "You stink too. How many cigarettes did you smoke? Don't you not smoke?"

"It's all second-hand smoke." Liu Jing smelled it and it was indeed very smelly.

Several screenwriters were heavy smokers. When they were polishing the script, they smoked one cigarette after another, and Liu Jing smoked a lot passively.

"You should wash too." Fat Fan locked the door and reached out to help Liu Jing take off his clothes.

"You have offended a lot of people. Why do people keep bullying you this year?" Liu Jing did not refuse and let Fan Xiaopang serve him.

"If I knew, I would definitely have dealt with them." Fat Fan had a bitter face. For her, this year was full of misery.

Two posts in the first half of the year almost drove her into the abyss, and it was only with great difficulty that the problem was resolved.

Earlier this month, someone posted something online about her place of origin. She was clearly from Yantai, but she insisted on saying she was from Qingdao. This was forgetting her roots and looking down on Yantai.

A long time ago, Fan Xiaopang had explained, "I never said that I am not from Yantai. My grandfather's family is in Qingdao. I was born in Qingdao, but grew up in Yantai. Therefore, whether you say that my hometown is Qingdao or Yantai, it is correct."

Her explanation was drowned out by a large number of voices. A while ago, a netizen wrote an article of thousands of words to prove the issue of Fan Xiaopang's hometown.

This post completely triggered the incident, and there was a lot of criticism online.

Finally, Fan Xiaopang’s family had no choice but to produce her birth certificate in Qingdao, which calmed the storm.

"A tall tree attracts the wind." Liu Jing sighed. Xixi is also facing such a situation. Few of the negative information on the Internet are spontaneously generated by ordinary netizens. They are all arranged by competing companies or artists.

If you trace the source of many negative information, you will eventually find an ordinary person. These people are bewitched by others, and they don’t even know who the other person is.

The poster who posted negative information about Fan Xiaopang at the beginning of the year was actually a student, and the information was sent to her by a netizen.

As for who that netizen was, it was impossible to trace him, and the clues were cut off.

"But now I know who messed with you some time ago." Fat Fan pulled Liu Jing into the bathroom. The bathroom was very spacious, which showed that Fat Fan paid attention to the quality of life.

The large bathtub is very eye-catching. It is filled with water and some flower petals are floating on the water.

Taking a bath is more comfortable than taking a shower and can wash away all your fatigue.

Fan Xiaopang dropped the towel and glanced at Liu Jing. The young man, full of vigor and vitality, had already paid tribute to the beautiful actress.

She showed a wicked smile, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Jing's courtesy, and slowly stepped into the bathtub.

She took very slow steps, even slower than a slow motion camera, showing everything clearly to the boy.

When it comes to having fun, it has to be Fan Xiaopang.

Gao Yuanyuan is all talk and no action, but she is a bad cook. Not only is she a bad cook, but she is also addictive.

Although Zhang Min is a mature woman, she is not as relaxed as Gao Yuanyuan in bed.

Yang Mi and Tang Yan, young girls who were promoted not long ago, have little theoretical knowledge and even less practical experience.

Zhang Liangying is indeed an expert, but Liu Jing had a blackout that night and felt nothing.

"Who is messing with me?" Liu Jing didn't bother to pay attention to Fan Xiaopang's actions. He was very curious about this matter.

A few months ago, when the list of candidates for the Popular Hundred Flowers Awards was announced, someone posted online saying that he was a school bully, which caused a public opinion war.

Chen Dong fought a public relations war and won the first battle, but the clues were also cut off by unknown netizens.

"You fuck me first, and then I'll tell you." Fat Fan laughed.

"Are you threatening me?" Liu Jing threatened.

"Not only will I threaten you, I will also find your weakness and exploit it hard." Fat Fan was not afraid at all. What was there to be afraid of when being honest with each other?

Liu Jing took a breath of cold air. This woman grabbed him tightly, and her technique was too advanced.

Being threatened like this, Liu Jing, as a grown man, could not bear it.

He was not gentle at all. Just as he was about to teach the other person a lesson roughly, Xiao Fan stopped him again, "Wait, there is another procedure."

"What?" Liu Jing wondered. He had already taken a bath, so did he still need to burn incense?

Xiao Fan trotted out of the bathroom and quickly came back with a camera and a stand, which he placed aside. "This is my new camera, which I just unpacked. You have good photography skills, so adjust the angle carefully. Don't let your face be photographed, you can take pictures of me as you like."

"Fuck, you have this habit." Liu Jing was shocked. Edison always uses a mobile phone, but you use a high-definition camera, and you are more creative than him.

He even had some concerns, thinking that they had had many verbal disputes in the past, he might have taken photos secretly.

"I'm not a fool, nor am I a pervert. This is a token of my loyalty to Sister Min."

PS: I forgot to time this chapter.

I went back to my hometown on Saturday and was so embarrassed. Not only did I lose my memory after drinking so much, I ended up in the hospital for an IV drip. Then I sprained my ankle and injured my leg. I felt miserable all day yesterday...
