Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1247 Return
After a year of hard work, Starry VG has partnered with two major telecom operators in China and quickly captured the domestic market.

At the same time, it is expanding into overseas markets and leveraging its advantages in integrating the domestic industrial chain to dominate the international market.

Of course, the international market is only so big. If Star Glory VG makes a fortune, then some people will go hungry.

As Star Shine VG grew rapidly, VG International's business shrank rapidly, so they resorted to underhanded tactics.

In the small meeting room, Andy frowned and said:

"According to the latest information I've received, VG International has lobbied the government and used diplomatic channels to put pressure on the local authorities, trying to get rid of our orders. I wonder what everyone's thoughts are?"

"How shameless! They resort to underhanded tactics when they can't win in a business war! These guys!" Jia Kuan said a couple of times, but then, remembering Andy's nationality, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Although Andy's country isn't great, Andy himself is a good person, so I won't criticize his country to his face.

"Perhaps we can take the grassroots approach!" Jane thought for a moment and said:

"Although they can force the use of their communication equipment through official channels, given the governance level of those small countries, what they actually use is not necessarily determined by VG International!"

Jiang Nan, who had given birth to a daughter for Lin Hao, had now replaced Lin Hao as the director of the operations department.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Nan glanced at the attendees and said somewhat uncertainly, "How about we ask our own elders for help?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, as past experience showed that some things were unrealistic.

Upon seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes lit up, and he then smiled and said:

"Give it a try! It's always better to have a way than no way. Whether it works or not, we'll only know if we try!"

"And to put it bluntly, things aren't like they were a hundred years ago. Even if fortunes change every thirty years, it's about time it was our turn. Who knows, it might come in handy!"

Actually, Lin Hao said that mainly to find an excuse, but of course, he also wanted to support his wife.

He could have used his skills to forcefully break the deadlock, but he couldn't use them too obviously, since he was facing a nation, not just an individual.

Lin Hao's ability to control people is related to his mental strength. That is to say, with 30 points of mental strength, he can control up to 30 people.

Most importantly, for those with strong willpower, the effect is actually greatly reduced, and even if they force it, the control time will not be very long.

You have to understand that the country today is not ruled by just one or two people. It's a huge bureaucratic system, and even if you control thirty key people, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Especially those who can become the rulers of a country possess a willpower so strong that such tactics simply cannot overcome it.

Of course, this mainly refers to large countries, especially superpowers; small countries are a different story.

Therefore, Lin Hao can use his skills to influence the upper echelons of those small countries in order to achieve cooperation with Star Glory VG.

I hadn't planned to do this before, mainly because even if I controlled the upper echelons of these countries, they wouldn't be able to withstand the coercion of that rogue state.

Not just anyone dares to confront the law enforcement of Earth, but if a rising nation were to speak up, the other side would naturally have the confidence to put up a fight.

If Lin Hao were to influence a few more small countries and they all worked together, our parents might actually be able to make it happen.

At this moment, Jia Kuan chimed in, "That's right. Whether it works or not, we have to try to find out. With our country's current strength, what if it actually succeeds!"

The meeting proceeded with a unanimous vote, and Jiang Nan's proposal was approved by everyone, so they immediately got to work.

Of course, Lin Hao didn't sit idle either. He flew to several African countries in succession and quickly achieved his goal.

Subsequently, our family members offered their support internationally, but the other side lacked the courage to fight back, and the matter ultimately came to nothing.

As a result, Star Glory VG has successively captured the markets of several countries, and based on this, it has expanded to even more places.

VG International's business also began to shrink significantly, and Lin Hao then secretly launched an acquisition campaign.

Of course, this was mainly handled by Andy, while Lin Hao primarily provided him with funding and connections.

After all, Lin Hao had promised the other party that they would acquire VG International together, allowing Andy to control VG International and become its major shareholder.

Things went very smoothly, and with Lin Hao using his abilities, he ultimately acquired absolute control of VG International at a price slightly below market value.

He then handed over the shares to Andy, who subsequently left Star Glory VG to become the president of VG International, while Lin Hao became the president of Star Glory.

However, both parties hold a portion of each other's shares. Andy licenses Lin Hao's patents to VG International, while Lin Hao opens up his industrial chain to VG International.

Two companies that were previously locked in fierce competition suddenly began to cooperate and then began to conquer the international market.

Once Star Glory VG was on the right track, Lin Hao had nothing urgent to do and began to enjoy life.

The events that the three brothers encountered in the original series were mostly changed under Lin Hao's manipulation.

For example, although Lin Hao maintained a lingering relationship with Jian Ai, he had no intention of remarrying her and eventually got together with Jiang Nan.

As for Zhou Yiming and Huizi, they did not experience the same twists and turns as in the original drama. Instead, under Lin Hao's persuasion, they left Sail Investment Company ahead of time and had no interaction with Kang Ru.

Of course, mainly due to Lin Hao's persuasion and the subsequent use of some subtle methods, Kang Ru did not go looking for trouble with Zhou Yiming, but left quietly.

As for Jia Kuan, he now has a new wife and even the children he longed for—two big, chubby boys. He's very happy now.

One of them was born to Liu Yingxia, who tried to reconcile with Jia Kuan, but Jia Kuan didn't give her a friendly look.

After learning that Liu Yingxia had given birth, Liu Yingxia's parents approached Jia Kuan. After some persuasion, Jia Kuan agreed that the child could take her surname, Liu, and continue the Liu family line.

Lin Hao naturally couldn't interfere in this matter; whether it was good or bad, it was Jia Kuan's own decision.

Lin Hao felt that his life in this world was basically fulfilling, and he had had enough of this world, so he prepared to go back.

"System, return!"

A flash of white light, and Lin Hao returned to reality. He then glanced at the time: 10:01 AM on October 31, 2023.

Then I opened the attribute panel and began to organize my gains in the world of "Era Summary".

Name: Lin Hao

Strength: 30 (+)

Constitution: 30 (+)

Agility: 30 (+)

Mental Strength: 30 (+)

生命值：100年113天3时44分21秒

Fate Points: 4716

Items: Omitted
Online Store: (omitted)
It seems that a total of 430 Fate Points were gained this time. After deducting 30 points for travel expenses and 200 points for the designated protagonist, 200 Fate Points remain!
Lin Hao glanced at his earnings this time. In this kind of standalone world, when choosing the protagonist, the rewards were really too meager.

The reward of 430 points in a single world is not small, but the fact that 230 points were spent on identity and travel expenses makes it a bit of a loss.

Having accumulated nearly five thousand Destiny Points, Lin Hao didn't buy any more Time Anchors this time. Instead, he planned to add them to his attributes, focusing on converting the Destiny Points into strength. He then used four thousand Destiny Points to increase all his attributes to 40 points, leaving him with only 716 Destiny Points.

Seeing Li Qing, who had just fallen asleep, Lin Hao, whose attributes had just been fully enhanced, immediately pressed down on her.

······
For the next two weeks, Lin Hao took Li Qing on a tour of Xinjiang Province, walking all the roads that weren't in the short film but existed in reality.

Taking advantage of the ample time, Lin Hao also took the opportunity to watch the advertisement "The Last Transfer in the Northern Desert of the Tang Dynasty".

In 755 AD, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out. In order to quell the rebellion, the elite troops of the Anxi Army went to the Central Plains, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers to guard the area. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tibetan Empire occupied the Hexi Corridor and cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty.

In 781 AD, when the envoy from Anxi arrived in Chang'an via the Uyghur route, the court learned that the Anxi soldiers were still holding out and serving the country loyally! Emperor Dezong of Tang was shocked and dictated a reward: all officers and generals were promoted seven ranks!

However, the Tang Dynasty did not send a single reinforcement, and the soldiers far away in Anxi could not enjoy this honor. All that was left for them was to fight a bloody battle without any reinforcements.

Until 808 AD, in Kucha, the last stronghold of the Four Garrisons of Anxi, the last Grand Protector Guo Xin led a group of white-haired soldiers to fight to the last man, and the entire army died heroically.

The isolated army has held out for nearly fifty years, and has grown from a young man into an old man with a full head of white hair. A lonely city thousands of miles away, filled with white-haired soldiers.

Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, it still left me deeply moved and speechless.

At that time, Tibet had long coveted the Western Regions. Taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's depletion of border defense forces and internal turmoil, Tibet launched an attack and occupied Gansu, the region connecting the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions, thus severing the only link between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

By 790, the Beiting Protectorate had fallen, and the Anxi Protectorate was reduced to only Kucha and Xizhou. One can imagine how desperate these veterans who had held the frontier must have felt.

At the end of the film, the white-haired veterans received military funds sent from Xizhou, accompanied by the resounding military songs of the Tang army:

"The moon of Qin shines on the passes of Han, the soldiers on the long march have not returned. If only the Flying General of Longcheng were here, the barbarian horses would not dare to cross the Yin Mountains."

"Long clouds over Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, a lone city gazes afar at the Jade Gate Pass. Through a hundred battles, their golden armor is worn through, they will not return until Lou Lan is conquered."

Knowing he was doomed, he still traversed thousands of miles of desert. This almost tragic dedication to the Tang Dynasty commands the utmost respect even from a modern person like himself.

"Sigh!" Lin Hao sighed.

However, Lin Hao then had some doubts. According to the rules, Guo Xin, the Grand Protector of Anxi, was based in Kucha, which meant that his main base was in Kucha. How could it be Yang Xigu from Xizhou who sent him money?

It should be noted that Yang Xigu only had a little over two thousand men in Xizhou, while Guo Xin had 2.4 men in Kucha.

Lin Hao then checked the relevant information and realized that although Kucha was the highest military and political center in the Western Regions, it was ultimately a "frontline military town".

There were many soldiers but little arable land here, while Xizhou was a vital transportation route. The Xizhou-Luntai line was a tax collection point for the Northern Route and the last "cash cow" for the Tang army in the Western Regions.

In short: Xizhou had money, and Kucha had soldiers.

The Western Regions have witnessed countless miracles: Ban Dingyuan's thirty-six-man mission to the Western Regions, Geng Gong's thirteen soldiers returning to Yumen Pass, Zhang Yichao's Guiyi Army, and Guo Xin's white-haired Kucha!

Although it's just a few lines in the history books, the words are soaked with yellow sand and blood and tears.

For forty years, I have been isolated in a remote region, and the vast land has been entirely under the control of the Hu.

To be honest, after watching the short film, Lin Hao actually felt an urge to join them in fighting the enemy.

After making preparations, Lin Hao set off again to make a name for himself in the Tang Dynasty world.

"System, activate the time travel card!"

The system voice immediately sounded!
Ding: "The Multiverse Travel Card has been activated!"

"Available worlds have been explored: Choose one of the following: the ancient world 'The Last Transfer in the Northern Desert of the Tang Dynasty' or the historical world 'Red Flag Canal'. Complete the mission and you will be transported in ten minutes. Countdown: 9 minutes and 59 seconds!"

"Huh, I think I've seen this show before!" However, Lin Hao only watched the first few episodes, so it seems to be a show from two years ago.

"Why is it another time-travel world?" Lin Hao looked at the time-travel world and felt speechless.

The previous world was a composite era world, and now this one is here; we haven't even recovered from that feeling yet.

Let's leave it for now. When we travel through time again, we can just go to another world first. Anyway, with Lin Hao's own abilities, it doesn't really matter if he doesn't watch the show.

No longer focusing on these things, Lin Hao shifted his attention to the world of "The Last Transfer in the Northern Desert of the Tang Dynasty".

It's uncertain whether this standalone short film world will even break even, let alone the two main characters, Lin Hao, as it's uncertain whether they'll even recoup their costs.

I might as well choose a blank identity and make up for the rest with my own abilities.

Ding: "The world you have selected for travel is 'The Last Transfer in the Northern Desert of the Tang Dynasty.' Please select your world!"

"A blank identity card!"

"Please stay at my place!"

"Choose a supporting character card!"

The extra cards I bought before have been sitting in my inventory, and now I can finally clear them out.

Extra Card: Replaces a minor character in this world. Gender, age, and identity are random. Can be modified using Fate Points. 1 Fate Point is awarded for each piece of information modified!
"Please choose!"

"Random gender!"

Please select!

"Random age!"

"Please choose!"

"The garrison of Kucha!"

"Match funds?"

"no!"

Before the system could offer 100,000, Lin Hao skillfully made his choice and quickly fabricated his identity.

This time, I only needed a blank card for 10 points, a minor character card for 1 point, and attribute modification for 2 points, for a total cost of 13 points.

The travel expenses this time were extremely low, so a blank travel pass was essential. There was no other way; it was like a ticket.

However, this time, the expenditure on the identity was extremely low, and the extra card was used to its fullest potential.

Logically, this card should cost at least five points, but this time we went to Kucha in the Tang Dynasty. There were no women, eunuchs, or even young people among the garrison.

Therefore, you can blindly choose randomness for gender and age, and the selected person will definitely be male, an old soldier with white hair, plus mismatched funds, which saves 3 fate points.

Lin Hao felt that he could actually use more extra cards in the future, as they were really economical.

"Ding! Identity card has been completed. Please check it, host!"

After Lin Hao confirmed that there were no problems, the countdown was about to end: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
