The Guoan fans who were blocking outside the gate were very quiet at this moment. No one was making any noise. Everyone was waiting for Xia Haoyang's statement.

"As far as I know, the investment of Guoan Club in the previous four seasons was about 300 million yuan." Xia Haoyang said slowly.

Some fans also understood the situation of the club and nodded.

"Five hundred million!" Xia Haoyang stretched out his right hand and made a five sign. "Starting from this season, I, Xia Haoyang, will invest no less than five hundred million per season, and will make additional investments based on the actual situation of each season! The investment of these funds will be supervised by the fan supervision team."

"Okay! It's a deal!" some fans shouted loudly.

"It's a deal! I, Xia Haoyang, will keep my word. And we'll start now. Select a few representatives from among you. Fans who can read balance sheets and cash flow statements can now learn about the capital investment and direction of the Guoan Club this season."

"I, I'm an accountant."

"I can understand that, too. I studied business administration."

The Guoan fans outside the gate responded one after another.

Xia Haoyang pointed to several fans who claimed they could understand financial statements and asked the security guard to open the door so that they could come in and learn about Guoan's financial expenditure this season.

Other fans also gave applause.

The matter was basically resolved at this point. Although the fans were still gathered at the club's gate, they were not shouting any slogans.

But Xia Haoyang could not leave at this time. He had to accompany several fan representatives to review again the financial statements and other materials that President Ma had given him in the past few days.

When Xia Haoyang accompanied several fans back to the gate, the fan representative shouted with a loud speaker: "Boss Xia has indeed invested 500 million this year, and just now he told us privately that some veterans will leave this year and there will definitely be additional investment, so brothers, disperse, Boss Xia did not lie!"

Xia Haoyang had already decided to make additional investments this year, as more than a dozen players will leave the first-team this season, including seven main players. This was not a statement made by Xia Haoyang after being coerced, but something he had already discussed with Ma Li and other members of the Guoan Club management.

An investment of 500 million per season is also the standard set by Xia Haoyang himself. This year's 500 million was transferred to the club's account as early as February after the Spring Festival.

This means that Xia Haoyang resolved the fans' riot with established facts and was not coerced into making any additional financial investments.

Seeing the fans leave happily like winners, Ma Li also admired Xia Haoyang's skills.

In fact, the club once announced that Xia Haoyang would invest 500 million yuan for daily operations this season. Some of the fans who came to protest also knew about this, but they still came to protest, which shows that everyone is dissatisfied with Xia Haoyang's investment amount. Then why are everyone leaving satisfied now when there is obviously no additional investment?

How were the fans' demands addressed? Mr. Ma was a little confused.

In fact, this is the public's herd mentality, also known as the herd effect theory, which is also explained in game theory and Nash equilibrium. Mr. Ma may have heard of it or even learned about it, but he just hasn't thought about how to use it in real life.

Xia Haoyang was finally able to drive home this time, and he didn't take Mr. Ma's little tricks to heart.

"Jingyi, I'm back. I bought some crucian carp from the supermarket. I'll use the air fryer to make grilled fish for you tonight."

"Is the Guoan Club okay? I just saw on the news that some fans of the Guoan team were causing trouble?" Zeng Jingyi asked worriedly.

"Well, but it's been solved. The main reason is that the results this year are not very good, and the fans have some small complaints." Xia Haoyang said easily.

"What should we do? If the team doesn't play well, the fans will definitely be unhappy."

"What else can we do? We'll just try harder next season." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"It's that simple?"

"Of course it's not that simple. You have to pay more." Xia Haoyang became serious.

"I hate it. You're just talking nicely, but you start to act frivolously."

"It's unfair. I'm serious and I'm telling the truth. The fans wanted the club to increase investment, I agreed, and then the fans left. Doesn't this just mean more money?"

"Oh, you're talking about this, I thought you were talking nonsense." Zeng Jingyi realized belatedly, "By the way, Director Yang just called me and asked if I could join the crew tomorrow, and I agreed."

Yang Lizhu was previously a young documentary director from Shashi, Xinan Province.

By chance, Xia Haoyang saw the documentary "Returning Home" she had filmed on the Internet. He felt that it had a unique beauty, so he kept this name in his heart.

Now he wants to shoot a long family TV series. He originally wanted to direct Liu Chang, with whom he has a good relationship, or even Director Luo Xian, but both directors were helping Xia Haoyang shoot a movie and had no time at all.

Originally, Xia Haoyang was not in a hurry to produce the TV series, as he could wait until director Liu Chang and others finished the movie before starting production. But now Zeng Jingyi is pregnant, and Xia Haoyang insisted that Zeng Jingyi star in the film, so they had to start filming and producing the film before her belly showed. Then he remembered the young female director Yang Lizhu, whom he had seen the documentary about.

It was not a big surprise. Although Yang Lizhu had certain talents in the circle, documentaries were still too niche. Xia Haoyang came to her with hundreds of millions of production fees to invite her to shoot a TV series. This was a huge blessing for Director Yang.

Moreover, in the current Chinese film and television circles, no one can resist the temptation to shoot Xia Haoyang's original script.

"Then I'll take you to the crew tomorrow." Xia Haoyang certainly knew that the crew of Director Yang's "Even If You're Cheated, You Must Dream" had already completed preparations and only needed the leading actress to arrive before the official filming could begin.

"Aren't you going to Xinan TV's "Competition 100" program team tomorrow? Tomorrow is your first public performance, right?"

"Yes, the first public performance will be filmed tomorrow, but the recording time is in the evening. I will send you to the crew in the morning, and then there are some things that need to be communicated with Director Yang. I will be back in the afternoon." Xia Haoyang deliberately said that he still needed to communicate with the director.

"Oh, okay, let's go together tomorrow morning." Zeng Jingyi's idea was very simple. Xia Haoyang was the screenwriter and a big investor. It was normal for him to communicate with the director when there was something. She didn't have any doubts.

In fact, Xia Haoyang just wanted to send Zeng Jingyi to the crew. If something really happened, what is the use of a phone?

But then again, Director Yang is a young director without much experience. She was hired as an exception because of Xia Haoyang's appreciation. In the production of her first TV series, it is also an encouragement to her that Xia Haoyang, as a screenwriter and a big investor, can help her.

This is the first time that Xia Haoyang has attended a press conference for a new drama. Fat Cat Studio has produced countless film and television dramas before, but Xia Haoyang, as the boss, has never attended one.
