As time went on, Dingdian Films expanded rapidly, and a large number of artists rushed to sign with them, hoping to get a chance to appear on screen and increase their exposure.

Many newcomers to film and television schools, even before graduating, actively seek out Dingdian Film and Television to participate in their variety shows about selecting and training artists.

After accumulating a large number of artist resources, Dingdian Films, under Li Xiaofeng's insistence, began to import more advanced shooting equipment, special effects production technology, and green screen shooting technology from abroad.

Although this approach requires a significant initial investment, it can greatly reduce filming costs later on. In addition, while actors' salaries have started to rise, they are not as outrageous as they were later.

Dingdian Film & Television currently has ample funds and urgently needs more high-quality content to attract more traffic. Therefore, Dingdian Film & Television has launched several large-scale period dramas and fantasy dramas.

In the current film and television industry, film and television resources are mainly concentrated in Beijing. However, with the heavy investment of Dingdian Film and Television, many well-known actors and directors are flocking to Shanghai. Shanghai seems to be becoming a film and television center that can rival Beijing.

That day, Li Xiaofeng received a call from Le Mengyao.

Xiaofeng, are you free tomorrow?

"Oh, it's Mengyao. I'm truly flattered that you're calling me. I'm not too busy lately. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"If you're not too busy, I'd like to take a ride on your yacht and relax on the sea!"

"No problem, I'll prepare it tomorrow!"

Looking at Le Mengyao, who was dressed in a stylish and casual manner, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Let me tell you first, there are only the two of us on the yacht today. They are all busy and don't have time to come and keep you company!"

Le Mengyao hesitated slightly, but still bit her lip and said with a strong woman's demeanor, "Two people is fine. I just came here to chat with you. You're not going to eat me!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Le, I, Li Xiaofeng, have no shortage of women. I can't handle a hot potato like you!"

"How did I become a hot potato?" Le Mengyao pouted, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

"I heard your brother has started trying to take over your business?"

"Did Xin'er tell you?"

"Xin'er has been very busy lately and has no time to deal with the messy affairs of your Le family. The reason I know this is because Huiya's film and television company must pay attention to every move in the entertainment industry."

Your Lok Group is a leading company in the Hong Kong film and entertainment industry. Although your business in mainland China has not yet expanded on a large scale, it is still worth paying attention to!

Le Mengyao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Li Xiaofeng gestured for Le Mengyao to board his yacht.

After the yacht sailed out to sea, Le Mengyao sat on the yacht's luxurious sofa, looking sullen.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and spoke first: "What's wrong? Is it your brother who's making you unhappy?"

"That's how my brother sees things. I've gotten used to it over the years. What makes me unhappy is you. Didn't you say before that our Le family should focus all our efforts on investing in the real estate market?"

And what did you do? You started quietly seizing market share in the film and television industry. You were trying to fool me before, but now your true colors are showing!

As Li Xiaofeng took out red wine, beverages, fruit, and snacks from the refrigerator, he smiled and asked, "Am I wrong? Isn't the real estate market very profitable?"

"It's true that you can make money, but..."

Li Xiaofeng interrupted her, smiling as he continued, "Besides, I'm a person who keeps my word. Didn't I invest all my funds in the real estate industry last year?"

The only difference is that my investment approach is different from yours. You develop real estate yourself, buy land, and build houses yourself, while I simply buy existing properties and wait for them to appreciate in value!

Now that I'm making money, and you're making money too, isn't that great?

Seeing that Le Mengyao remained silent, Li Xiaofeng smiled and continued, "As for why I haven't invested in real estate yet, it's because all the money I have right now is from bank loans."

Banks are now very strict with regulations and don't allow loans for real estate speculation; otherwise, I would definitely continue to invest in real estate.

As for my large-scale investment in the film and entertainment industry, it's because I have too much money. Wouldn't it be a waste not to invest it? Since I've already invested in the film industry, I might as well invest a little more!

Does that mean that if your company wants to give up a market, others can't touch it?

The mainland economy is developing rapidly, and there are so many profitable industries. There's no need for everyone to fight tooth and nail in one particular field, don't you think?

Le Mengyao pouted and said irritably, "Anyway, everyone says you're a cunning guy. You let others go into real estate, but you went into the entertainment industry yourself."

While pouring red wine into Le Mengyao's glass, Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "This is diversified investment. I've not only invested in the film and entertainment industry, but also in manufacturing. I just invested 1 billion yuan in Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory. Why don't you mention that?"

Besides, don't the suggestions I gave you meet Roca's current needs?

What your Le family needs now is to make money and provide financial support for your family, not to rush into expanding into the mainland film and entertainment market.

The film and entertainment industry has few technological barriers, and even low industry barriers. As long as you have money, you can enter this field anytime you want, wouldn't you say?

Le Mengyao downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp and said somewhat listlessly, "You're right. The Le family looks quite large now, but many of its businesses are just empty shells."

Their investment in media infrastructure also failed, and now they can only rely on real estate to make some money first, and then consider investing again.

Li Xiaofeng took a small sip of red wine, then put down his glass and poured another one for Le Mengyao.

"Xiaofeng, what do you think I should do in the future?"

"What do you mean, 'what to do'? Are you talking about career issues or personal issues?"

Le Mengyao sighed and said, "I guess so. Recently, Luo Siqi has brought in a lot of funds from abroad, and my family wants me to marry Luo Siqi and cooperate with the Luo family!"

Then there's Jiahao. Logically speaking, the Le family should eventually be inherited by him. He's not young anymore, and he should gradually get involved in some company management.

But he's been living a life of debauchery; does he really have the ability to manage the Le family's businesses?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "You're just unwilling to hand over the business you've worked so hard to build to someone else!"

Le Mengyao thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, and that might be one of the reasons, but I do feel that Jiahao is not mature enough yet."
