Actor: Thank you.

The following day at noon, Elizabeth, lying sprawled on the hotel bed with her limbs in disarray, finally woke up from her hangover.

Zhang Yuan barely drank any of the bottle of wine he took away from the restaurant last night.

She drank so much that she passed out.

Even the person with the highest alcohol tolerance can easily get drunk when drinking alone in silence.

Add to that the awful weather in Britain, always overcast and dark, making it impossible to tell day from night.

There was no bright, awakening sunshine like in California.

Teacher Xiaobai raised her head and bared her teeth as she touched her forehead.

I feel dizzy and in pain.

It took me a while to get up and go to the bathroom to wash up.

While taking a hot shower, I held a toothbrush in my mouth.

Her blonde hair was wet from the hot water, and she had dark circles under her eyes.

drop by drop...

Hearing her phone ring in the bedroom, she quickly jumped out of the bathtub, wrapped herself in a white towel, and swayed her breasts as she went to the bedside table.

"Hey Eve, how are you doing?"

"Where are you?"

Her older sister, Ashley, called.

"She must have gone off somewhere crazy again." Mary's voice could still be heard from afar.

Although her two older sisters are twins, they are not the common identical twins, but fraternal twins.

Identical twins are formed from a single fertilized egg and have identical genetic information.

Fraternal twins are more "high-tech," meaning that the mother has two eggs at the same time, which are then combined with two sperm to fertilize the egg.

Theoretically speaking, fraternal twins are more like sisters or siblings than twins in the traditional sense, except that they grow in the mother's womb and are born at the same time.

The Olsen twins are lucky in that they look somewhat alike.

But they don't look as alike as typical twins.

Elizabeth, the younger sister, looks more like a combination of her two older sisters, incorporating the best features of both.

Similar to the initial product launch, the production line was iterated upon.

Moreover, the two older sisters have completely different personalities and aesthetic tastes.

The eldest sister, Ashley, is gentle and likes modern styles.

The second sister, Mary, is more decisive and has a fondness for retro styles.

So, as my little sister grew up, her two older sisters, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, kept her completely under their thumb.

No matter how awesome you are outside, you'll still get a "double whammy" at home.

"Tell her that no matter where she is, she should go home immediately," the second sister called out again from afar.

“Hey Eve, Daddy wants to have dinner with everyone. If he’s not too busy, he can come back,” the eldest sister said gently.

"I am in Britain."

"Oh...did a British prince invite you to visit the castle?" the older sister joked.

"Uh, he's more like a prince of China." Teacher Xiaobai scratched his head with his index finger.

"But I think I messed it up."

"The Prince of China?" the eldest sister repeated.

"What Spicy Prince?" Second Sister also ran over.

"Do you guys remember the basketball team captain who was a year ahead of me in 7th grade?"

Brown hair.

"Blue pupils."

"His smile is like DiCaprio in Romeo and Juliet."

The two older women started talking in a back-and-forth.

Elizabeth thought to herself, "Is this my ex-boyfriend's or yours? How do you remember so clearly?"

"Toby!" the two older sisters called out the boy's name in unison.

“Yes, Toby,” she replied softly. “Something similar to Toby’s has happened again.”

"WHAT?"

Don't be fooled by how they usually manage things; when something really happens, they're very concerned, and that's why they ask in detail.

After a while, the eldest sister listened and summarized.

"So you were talking about someone who owns a stake in a Mercedes-Benz fleet and casually spent over £3000 million on cars last night."

"And the investor in your upcoming film told me to get out of my room."

"And then he really left."

"Yes." Elizabeth felt wronged as she recalled it.

Now, as her older sister recounts the story, she holds her forehead and lowers her head.

Different perspectives lead to completely different experiences.

"In other words, it's because you met a jerk when you were 13."

"When you talked to us about Toby last time, what did you say he was doing now?"

“McDonald’s manager…” Elizabeth lowered her head even further.

"You're a bastard who graduated high school and can only fry hamburger patties at McDonald's, who once tried to get to know us through you and even wanted the three of us to sleep with him."

"Comparing him to a billionaire?"

"Don't say he wants to get to know us, I'd love to get to know him too." The older sister's tone was still gentle, but with a hint of reproach.

The second sister was even more direct: "I told you long ago that she's all height and no brains."

“Hey, this is my life!” Elizabeth retorted, annoyed.

"Okay, then you can continue to dwell on your teenage mental health issues."

"At the same time, I'm worried about whether my film will be withdrawn from funding."

"No matter what, we love you." The eldest sister spoke the most heartbreaking words in the gentlest tone.

"We'll wait for you to come back," the second sister replied.

After hanging up the phone, Teacher Xiaobai frowned, squinted, and patted her head.

"Yeah, with his net worth, he wouldn't be like that idiot."

"And when I told him to leave, he left; he didn't force me at all."

"He still acted like a gentleman, unlike Toby, who still thought of 'the three of us'."

"Besides, he's also an investor in my new film... Ugh." The more she thought about it, the more her head ached.

She quickly called the producer to inquire about film investment.

"Is there a problem?" producer Thai replied casually.

"Don't worry, even if there are problems, you have a good relationship with that Chinese kid."

"By the way, how's your progress? If we're really short of money, we still have him, don't we?"

"So everything's fine now, right?" Elizabeth asked repeatedly to confirm.

"Everything is normal, and preparations are underway."

She put down the phone again and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.

"In other words, he did not withdraw his investment in the film after I kicked him out yesterday."

"He was so generous, gentle, and kind."

"Was what I said yesterday too hurtful to him...?"

While Scarlet Witch was reflecting on her actions, Zhang Yuan had already taken a flight overnight and landed in the capital.

The reason he didn't cancel his investment in "Martha Marcy Marcy" was that the amount of money was not much, only $50.

One should keep one's word and not go back and forth over such a small amount of money.

Secondly, although it didn't take much time and effort, I did take advantage of that North American girl once, so it's only right to give her some "compensation".

Zhang Yuan often found himself out of step with his peers because of his high moral standards.

Actually, after boarding the plane, he regretted it a little. "Should I have slept first before causing trouble?"

"Fire a few Italian shots first."

"Oh well, never mind."

Once a move is made, there's no going back; this is a fundamental quality of a chess player.

It's a bit of a pity, and he feels that there might not be many opportunities in the future.

In addition, he did have some business to attend to and needed to rush back.

Unbeknownst to him, the other end was already engaged in self-criticism.

This is what they call "After becoming rich overnight, I have big breasts to debate with me".

The economic base determines the superstructure, and this applies to male-female relationships as well.

Romantic love is something that, unless it truly reaches the level of "true love," a level where you'd risk everything and be bound together by life and death, is something that can't be developed between men and women.

At this point, idealism is acceptable, but otherwise, it's best to be more materialistic to avoid getting hurt and disappointed.

If he didn't have any coins, why would Teacher Xiaobai even look at him?

He didn't have time to dwell on his regrets, since he had ridden quite a few foreign women when filming "G.I. Joe," so there was no need to hold a grudge.

After calming himself down, he had to get down to business.

After going home, I took a shower, changed my clothes, and went out again, arriving at the famous Zhongguancun.

In the middle floor of the famous Grade A office building, Yingu Building, sits a technology company that was founded last April and has been around for no more than a year.

I stepped outside the door and stood still.

Zhang Yuan stood in the somewhat cramped office building corridor.

Gray carpet, white walls, and overhead spotlights.

All of this is no different from any ordinary office building.

Besides the large orange company logo that you can clearly see on the background wall when you look at the reception area through the office glass door, you can also see the large orange company logo on the background wall.

Xiaomi.

At this point, the orange box didn't say "MI" yet; instead, it displayed the Chinese characters for "Xiaomi".

"Please come in." A young lady with an ordinary appearance but dressed elegantly opened the door for him.

Walking inside, the entire office is about 400 square meters.

Compared to the original "Thirteen Protectors", there were now more people, and about 50 employees were working hard in the office.

Everyone was sitting at those cubicle desks with silver-gray striped borders and light blue partitions.

It's just like any other office building or small company.

It can be described as "ordinary and unremarkable".

Even compared to some companies that decorate their facades extremely luxuriously to impress investors, this place looks rather shabby.

If we're eating coarse grains, how can we not be "shabby"?

Actually, the company has already launched its own "product" at this point.

It's not a physical product, but an operating system based on Android 2.2 with a design style that imitates iOS, namely the original MIUI.

Apples are a treasure; you can harvest them all in a lifetime.

One hundred carefully selected users from the forum participated in the closed beta test, and their names were later engraved on a sculpture at Xiaomi's new headquarters.

The Xiaomi store later became a gathering place for elementary school students, known as "Hasbro".

But these elementary school students didn't know that there was a way to "brush up" the system in the early years, which was very geeky.

However, even with MIUI already available and undergoing rapid iteration and upgrades to address any shortcomings, it remains a challenge.

However, the investment market remained cautious about the company at that time.

There are just too many mobile phone manufacturers in China right now!

This is something that elementary school students don't know: about 10 years ago, there were hundreds of mobile phone brands in China.

In the end, fewer than 10 managed to break through the encirclement.

At that time, brands like Bird, which was known as the "fighter jet among mobile phones," and Gionee were still market giants.

Major home appliance brands, such as Changhong and TCL, are also making mobile phones.

In a few years, Gree phones will also give everyone a surprise when they turn them on, after all, it's always surprising to see "Ms. Dong's" big face when you turn on your phone.

Not to mention that when it comes to Chinese mobile phones now, the most well-known brand is still HTC.

Of course, only the mainland side considers it a domestically produced mobile phone; the other side may not.

Zhang Yuan walked across the office, and his celebrity status attracted the attention of many employees who looked up to see what was going on.

He nodded and smiled kindly at everyone who looked at him, then headed straight for the general manager's office.

Inside sat that man, a quiet, unassuming tech geek who liked to tell little lies.

"Mr. Lei, it's nice to see you again."

Zhang Yuan casually sat down opposite him.

"Hello, hello." Jun'er nodded to the head with bangs.

"I see that your company has a lot of people and you seem quite busy."

"It seems to be progressing well."

"It's alright... By the way, are you using an Android phone?" Jun'er said, turning her attention to him.

"It's an Apple phone." Zhang Yuan took out his phone and placed it on the table.

"Everyone in our line of work uses Apple products, so I can't be an exception."

"Actually, I quite like Nokia and Samsung."

Actually, it's not just actors who can do it.

In later Spring Festival Gala group photos and selfies, all the CCTV hosts were using iPhones.

They collectively switched brands because they were criticized for this.

The fact that such organizations use foreign brand mobile phones raises serious security concerns.

The Prism scandal remains fresh in our minds.

"That's a pity, otherwise I would have liked to let you experience our product." Jun'er said, his voice trailing off.

"There will definitely be an opportunity, but that's not why I'm here today."

"I'd like to talk to you about advertising, endorsements, product placement, and related matters."

"As you should know, I invest in many films, including many modern films, both Chinese and foreign."

"I also have my own management company, which supports one artist."

"I myself am an artist."

"I believe that pairing artists with brands, especially emerging brands, is one of the most effective ways to help them quickly open up the market and gain brand awareness."

"This is endorsed by a celebrity."

"As for implantation."

"The Spring Festival Gala in previous years, as well as the movies directed by Feng Xiaogang, brought massive exposure to many brands."

"This is obvious to all."

"Several real estate developments, hotels, and resorts have made a fortune because of the movie's popularity, and have become popular tourist destinations."

"These are also facts."

“I think your brand needs these right now.”

Zhang Yuan presented the facts and reasoned with the other party, discussing the importance of publicity.

How could Jun'er not understand? Of course he did.

Moreover, when it comes to marketing and promotion, the entire mobile phone industry combined can't beat him alone.

But he looked troubled.

He simply doesn't have time to think about publicity right now.

If you can't even develop a product, what are you going to use for marketing and promotion?

The root of the problem lies on the other side of the sea.

That chosen land that had not only just experienced an earthquake, but also leaked a tiny bit of "miniature radiation"... (End of Chapter)
