Actor: Thank you.

That day, Zhang Yuan was doing physical training at home.

"He's here with a congratulatory message."

"The congratulatory message has arrived!"

Jia Shikai shouted as he entered his house.

He even slipped due to excessive excitement.

"what's up?"

Zhang Yuan emerged from his handstand and stood steadily on the courtyard's paving stones.

The person who arrived was taken aback by his muscular and muscular physique.

If he were in this state when he slapped me back then, would I have gone over to him on the spot?
Over time, the psychological trauma that had been almost completely healed resurfaced.

They also shifted from their boastful state to a slightly more cautious one.

"Good news, the final box office figures for 'No Man's Land' are in."

"It was just a little short of 4 million."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Yuan simply nodded slightly to his excited subordinate.

It was entirely expected.

The cost was 5000 million, plus nearly 2500 million in marketing and promotion costs.

The total was close to 8000 million, but the final box office was less than 4 million, so the company actually made tens of millions.

It was definitely a very successful investment.

This can be considered a good start to the year for the company.

But what's there to be excited about?
Zhang Yuan glanced at Jia Shikai.

You think you're in charge of publicity?
They think too highly of themselves.

Publicity and promotion are just icing on the cake.

Of course, there are also instances of carving flowers on excrement, turning decay into something magical.

But the film itself is excellent, and I set the promotional strategy; your contribution was at most less than 10%.

Moreover, given the other person's personality, praising them to their face will make them arrogant.

So he wiped his sweat with a towel and didn't say anything encouraging.

Instead, he drank some energy drinks, caught his breath, and then issued new orders.

"You should discuss with the people in the company about preparing a celebration banquet for 'No Man's Land'."

"It needs to be big and luxurious."

"We should invite more industry peers."

Jia Shikai rolled his eyes. When he heard the number 4 million, the boss didn't react much.

He figured that after the stimulation from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Lost in Thailand," the boss should be numb.

The threshold has been set too high.

But now they're going to make a big fuss about it again.

"Not only that, but we also need to put up banners."

"A pearl may be obscured, but its brilliance will eventually be revealed." Zhang Yuan said, gesturing with each word.

Jia Shikai understood.

My boss is infuriating!
Mingzhu definitely refers to Ning Hao and "No Man's Land".

Who has tarnished their reputation?

Why is it now displaying its brilliance?

Yoshi!

When it comes to hermaphrodites, my boss is truly a top expert in the field.

A single, elegant sentence is more offensive than a direct insult.

Jia Shikai was very interested in the topic of Black people, so he got excited when he heard about it.

But he couldn't see Zhang Yuan's true purpose.

Because of the different information they have.

He wanted to provoke the other person.

A few days ago, Lao Luo called him and said he wanted to talk about financing again.

He stated unequivocally that he had plenty of money, but the shares had to be in place.

Once I'm here, I have to be a major shareholder!
Of course, Lao Luo disagreed, thinking to himself, "If that happens, I'll become a wage earner!"

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

"Actually, I've had a lot of investors coming to me recently."

"Several others are your colleagues," Lao Luo finally brought up.

It means if you keep doing this, I'm not playing with you anymore.

It's also a way of saying hello.

I've already warned you, so don't blame me if I accept investments from others later.

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed to hear this!

Peer.

I suspect there's a dog involved.

But he was referring to several colleagues, not just Dog Brother.

Hey.

He guessed that the other person probably had their own goals.

Because these two are the richest people in their industry!

"Teacher Luo, I still hope to reach a cooperation agreement. We can discuss the terms further."

He loosened his grip a bit.

Being too stubborn at this time would only make you seem strange.

If you really want shares in their company, you're very sincere and will never be so stubborn and demanding.

Making concessions actually shows more sincerity.

Because the same thing happened to Jun'er.

At the height of the smartphone boom, China was known as having four "Steve Jobs".

They are Jia Jobs, Luo Jobs, Huang Jobs, and Lei Jobs.

Lei Jun and Luo Jun are Jun'er and Teacher Luo, respectively.

The remaining two are Jia Yueting, also known as Accountant Jia.

There's also the once-glorious Meizu and its boss, Huang Zhang.

Of these individuals, Jun'er is actually the least like Steve Jobs. His style is more like Tim Cook's; he is very cost-sensitive and willing to compromise on product quality.

If you combine Luo Yonghao and Huang Zhang, they'll resemble Steve Jobs.

Luo Yonghao's arrogance and Huang Zhang's madness combined are about 70-80% similar.

Both of them were self-taught and had little formal education. They had traveled around a lot in their youth and had done many low-level jobs.

Huang Zhang is a "madman" who was able to become the leader of domestic MP3 players in a short period of time, but at the peak of his career, he also made a decisive move to switch to smartphones.

This behavior is so Jobs-like.

Furthermore, when the Meizu M8 was launched, Apple sent it a cross-border lawyer's letter accusing it of plagiarism. Ultimately, due to the lawsuit and screen defects caused by the phone's manufacturing process, it was pulled from the market early.

At this time, Huang Zhang, who spent all his time on forums, met Jun'er, who was also surfing the internet with the same fervor.

Jun'er also wanted to make mobile phones at this time, and he talked a lot with Huang Zhang, and they got along quite well.

After getting to know him, Huang Zhang felt that he was a talented person who could lead Meizu's system development team.

In the end, they even discussed recruiting Jun'er to be the CEO of Meizu.

But in the end, it broke up.

Huang Zhang stated that he shared Meizu's mobile phone design philosophy, development process, and supplier relationships with Jun'er without reservation.

But he took these materials and ran away to start his own Xiaomi company.

Mr. Huang even complained that he knew Jun'er loved iced cola, so he specially prepared a small refrigerator in his office to freeze cola for him.

True love.

Jun'er said that she was interested in joining at the time, but on the condition that she invest in exchange for shares, become a shareholder, and demand a great deal of say in the matter, but Huang Zhang was not willing to do so.

In short, one is unwilling to be an employee, and the other is unwilling to share power.

After that, the two became bitter enemies, and Huang Zhang would constantly hurl insults at Jun'er at various press conferences and on online forums.

Furthermore, Meizu shifted its main strategic objective to competing with Xiaomi.

In fact, it wasn't just that they couldn't reach an agreement; Jun'er also secretly poached many people from Meizu... a "simple and unpretentious" entrepreneurial and business battle.

You don't want the CEO position, and now you want to take away my power!
Now, Lao Luo also sees Zhang Yuan in the same way.

Luo Yonghao and Huang Zhang have similar personalities; you can't push them any further, or they'll easily get annoyed.

And this person really knows how to post about themselves online.

So they took a step back to make it easier to continue the talks.

But Zhang Yuan was also anxious; why hadn't he fallen into the trap yet?
I can't wait!
He then thought of using "No Man's Land" to provoke the French.

Isn't that infuriating?
What will you do if I make sarcastic remarks to you?
You can't do anything to me, can you?
I'm wearing open-crotch pants right now, hurry up and poke my asshole!

As he had planned, the press conference was indeed a grand affair.

Ning Hao burst into tears on the spot, deeply moved.

What does "bro" mean?

That's what you call a real brother!
That's incredibly kind of you.

Even the celebration party for "Lost in Thailand" wasn't this lavish.

Big Dog and other friends were also invited to the event.

The hall was packed with guests, numbering four or five hundred.

This scene is so grand that anyone who didn't know better would think it had broken another domestic film box office record.

Two days after the press conference, Zhang Yuan was browsing forums and playing on his phone when he received a call from Luo Yonghao.

The other party's tone seemed humble, but there was an undisguised arrogance in it. Inform him.

"Mr. Zhang, we have a direction for our Smartisan Technology's financing."

"Although we came into contact early on, we still couldn't reconcile our philosophies."

"Thank you for your attention. See you in the future."

"Wait!" Zhang Yuan nearly jumped up from the spot when he heard this.

My heart is pounding. Now, only one question remains.

"This is so sudden."

"We were having a good chat."

"I... can we still talk?" Zhang Yuan feigned deep regret.

"We can talk," Lao Luo replied.

Zhang Yuan: !!!
Aro, are you serious?!
It terrified him.

"But we'll have to wait until the next round. At least for the next year, we won't lack funds," Professor Luo said, adding the second half of his statement.

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see."

"Pity."

"What a pity."

"At least tell me, who stole my great opportunity?"

Luo came with some displeasure.

He is a very aggressive person, with a sharp tongue, and he wants to stab anyone he sees.

So Zhang Yuan was getting impatient because the negotiations had dragged on for so long without reaching an agreement.

Do you think you look down on me?

Now he speaks nicely, and this person is soft-hearted.

"I told you before, we're in the same industry."

"Which colleague?"

"It's that Huayi Brothers, you must know it."

Luo is an outsider and is unaware of his entanglement with the other party.

know!

I know that perfectly!

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ok.

I've finally gotten my revenge for what happened when I was negotiating a collaboration with Legendary Pictures!

Zhang Yuanxin was extremely happy.

I had more fun than spending several days with Korean national goddess Ms. Song a few days ago.

This girl almost developed feelings for him, and even asked him if he wanted to go to South Korea to develop his career.

Go to hell!

You are all so tiny, you can't even fit someone as big as me.

He won't openly hurl insults; he'll just say he's biased towards the domestic market, followed by Hollywood.

This girl went a step further and asked him if he had a girlfriend now.

Zhang Yuan recalled that the list of top earners in Hong Kong and Taiwan might still have some merit.

You're trying to hook me too?
“We grew up in different countries and different places, and our lifestyles are fundamentally different.”

"Besides, you won't be staying in China permanently, and I won't be going to South Korea all the time. Even if we're together, we won't see each other more than a few times a year."

He expressed his meaning frankly.

The other person was a little sad, but in the end they realized that what he said made sense.

Zhang Yuan stated that if he goes to South Korea, he will visit her.

We can be good friends.

The kind of in-depth conversation that happens occasionally.

The physical pleasure was indeed very high, but he always felt that foreign girls, even if they were also of Asian descent, were ultimately inferior to Chinese beauties.

He is so patriotic.

It's still more pleasurable to do bad things!
We're having such a blast right now!

I feel like my endorphins are being released like crazy, they're almost overflowing.

But he didn't reveal his true feelings; after taking several deep breaths, he suppressed his emotions.

His deep breaths sounded to Lao Luo like he was suppressing his anger.

He then offered his blessings and expressed his regret before hanging up.

"YES!"

He jumped nearly two meters from the spot and did a somersault.

"That's good."

"I just don't know how much money the other party actually spent."

His question was quickly answered.

The one who answered him was the original owner.

Not long after, Smartisan Technology held a grand investment symposium.

The King himself was present, and there were over a thousand spectators!

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan knew what was going on.

It was a response to the grand celebration banquet he hosted for "No Man's Land".

You expand, I'll expand even more!

You'll make me angry, and I'll make you angry to death!

Huayi announced that it has made a strategic investment in Smartisan Technology.

He claimed on the spot that he had invested over 100 million yuan.

Rumors circulate online that the investment amount is as high as 1.7 million!
This money is enough for Director Feng to make two comedy films or a film called "1942".

Hehehe... Zhang Yuan was so happy he rolled around on the floor at home.

In this way, not only is the small grudge settled, but the enemy's manpower is also depleted.

The total amount of money is limited; if you spend it here, you'll have to spend less there.

The other party was already working on removing the film adaptation from the mainstream, so the funds invested in the movie would only be less.

This will also reduce the pressure I face in the industry.

After tossing and turning in bed a few times, he suddenly sat up.

"Now is not the time to celebrate."

"If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way."

"They spent nearly 200 million, so I have to give them enough emotional value."

"To put on an Oscar-worthy performance for someone else."

"I'll provide you with some after-sales service."

Zhang Yuan immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the company.

His face fell on the way to the car, and he seemed to be building up his strength the entire way.

The moment I stepped through the company gate, my steps became frighteningly heavy.

Even the most oblivious employee could tell that the boss was in a bad mood today, and a really bad one at that!

The office staff felt that the building was shaking with every step he took.

It was as if the reinforced concrete was resonating with his emotions.

He went straight into his office.

Zhang Yuan told his assistant and bodyguards to go and rest.

He then wandered around the office a few times, looking for something handy.

I'd like to install a public chair, but it seems a bit heavy.

I'm afraid flipping the table won't have the desired effect.

Throw away the suit.

My clothes are quite expensive.

Finally, he grabbed the landline phone from the table and yanked it hard.

Snapped!
The phone line was actually snapped in two by the force of the pull!
You can tell how strong it is.

He has been training a lot lately, and his body is in peak condition.

He held the phone in his hand and weighed it a few times.

Then the body opened up, like a fully drawn longbow.

Just as the moon was about to overflow, he suddenly threw the phone in his hand at the office partition glass.

Click!

He smashed the tempered glass that was meant for the walls!

After a hole appeared, the cracks spread out like a spider web, twisting and deforming, and many shards of glass fell on the carpets inside and outside the room.

Unlike external curtain wall glass, internal partition glass, although both are tempered, uses laminated glass on the exterior facade so it won't crumble if broken.

The ones used inside are different.

If you stir it a few times with a mop at this point, the entire piece of broken glass will fall off.

The loud noise startled the nearby employees.

That's making too much noise!
The consequences are all too obvious.

Smashing things in the office is something most people can't see.

But now the corridor is full of broken glass, which anyone with eyes can see.

And anyone who sees this will come to the same conclusion.

The boss has lost control of his emotions!
As for why it got out of control?

Zhang Yuan believed that the gossipy women in the company would, like the village intelligence team, embellish the story and spread it throughout the company in no time.

Then the company relays the information to the outside world.

The angrier and more out of control he gets, the more the other party will believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime investment.

The more tightly they hold on, the more they will grip it.

Hey, it's settled.

You can't abandon them halfway and sell your shares.

Be sure to persevere to the very end! (End of Chapter)
