Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 299 310 [This person has a very different appearance, he will become a great man in the future]

Ma Yun just felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.

And looking at the other person's temperament and appearance, he knew that he was no ordinary person. He immediately enthusiastically introduced his own business:
"Sir, we at Haibo Translation Agency accept any translation-related business. If you need any business in the future, please feel free to contact us at any time."

Looking at the ordinary Boss Ma, Li Yishu chuckled, "Do you really accept any business?"

"Take them all!"

Ma Yun nodded: "As long as it is business related to translation, our Haibo Translation Agency can do it!"

“Can I translate movies?”

"Movie translation?"

"Yes, translating foreign language films."

The Art and Entertainment Group has translation work, which was mostly done by outside translators in the past. But now that he has seen Ma Yun, Li Yishu wants to make friends with her in advance.

In the e-commerce sector, competition was extremely fierce back then. Ma Yun’s success was certainly due to the right time and place, but his personal abilities were absolutely unquestionable.

Li Yishu knows what industry will make money in the future, but if he were to do it himself, he would definitely not be able to beat others. On the one hand, he lacks professional knowledge, and on the other hand, he does not have enough energy.

It would be better to just be an honest investor and be the boss behind the scenes.

According to Alibaba’s future market value, which will reach as high as 8000 billion US dollars at its peak, Li Yishu will definitely become the richest man as long as he continues to invest!
Of course, in order to avoid being made public, a multi-party shareholding method is adopted, and the single shareholding ratio is below 5%. Then there is no need to worry about exposing the identity and being included in the so-called pig-killing list.

"Translating foreign language movies is no problem. Our Haibo Translation Agency has translated movies for others before..."

When Ma Yun said this, she suddenly remembered who the man in front of her was and asked in surprise, "You! Sir, are you Director Li Yishu?"

Li Yishu smiled faintly: "Do you know me?"

"How could I not know Director Li? I admire you so much! My favorite movie you shot, "Sword Rain", is a perfect match for my fantasy of martial arts. The shock brought by the bullet time..."

Ma Yun seemed very excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to meet such a nationally famous director.

Li Yishu's current fame is much greater than that of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Not to mention his status as a European triple gold grand slam, the fact that one of his movies has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in box office overseas is enough for ordinary people to talk about it.

Today, Ma Yun is just an ordinary teacher at a normal university. In his spare time, he founded and runs a foreign language translation agency. However, this translation agency does not make much money, and most of the time Ma Yun has to find ways to put money into the agency herself.

In this situation, how could Ma Yun not be excited when she unexpectedly met a famous director who was quite influential in the country and even the world?
After Ma Yun finished talking, she saw that Li Yishu didn't seem to be leaving, so she quickly introduced herself: "Hello, Director Li, my name is Ma Yun. I am not only the boss of Haibo Translation Agency, but also a teacher at the Normal University."

When the other party said that he was a teacher, Li Yishu couldn't help but think of the other party's classic saying:

I am not interested in money. The happiest time for me was when I was earning a few dozen yuan as a teacher.

I wonder if Teacher Ma, who now earns only a few dozen yuan a month, feels happy?
Despite her thoughts, Li Yishu also extended her hand: "Hello, Teacher Ma."

After shaking hands, Ma Yun invited him warmly, "Director Li, may I have the honor of inviting you for a cup of tea? I know there is a teahouse in front of the West Lake, and the tea there is authentic West Lake Longjing!"

It turns out that Ma Yun’s success is no accident. Most people don’t have the confidence to be so outgoing and want to invite others to have tea.

This is just like when you meet a celebrity on the street later, most people would ask for an autograph at most, and very few people would invite the other person for tea because they always feel that it will not work.

Li Yishu readily agreed: "Okay, when we come to West Lake, we must taste the authentic West Lake Longjing tea."

Seeing that he agreed, Yu Feihong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look up to this man with a somewhat strange appearance. He didn't understand why Li Yishu agreed to have tea with him.

"I'll arrange it!"

Ma Yun was excited. He didn't expect Li Yishu to really agree. He immediately told several colleagues nearby, threw down all the flyers, and then enthusiastically led Li Yishu and the other person to the teahouse.

This is a teahouse near the West Lake. It has an excellent location. Looking out the window, you can see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and the pedestrians on the shore. Combined with the antique decoration style of the teahouse, the atmosphere is simply perfect.

Several people sat down at the window seats. The teahouse had just opened and there were not many customers. Ma Yun called the waiter and ordered the most expensive West Lake Longjing tea here, as well as some fruits.

After the staff left, Ma Yun was still feeling unsettled. Seeing Li Yishu sitting right in front of her, she felt that everything that had just happened was too weird.

How could he actually invite an internationally renowned director to have tea?

Looking at Ma Yun who was staring at her in a daze, Li Yishu smiled and said, "Teacher Ma, is there something on my face?"

Ma Yun shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I was just a little excited. I didn't expect Director Li to be so approachable."

I didn't expect that the richest man Ma, who would later become so arrogant and defiant, would actually say that he is approachable.

But it is understandable. If Li Yishu had been able to invite Ma Yun in his previous life, it would probably be more than just being approachable.

"Haha, Mr. Ma is too polite. I am just an ordinary person. It's just that my job as a director is special. It's actually similar to your job as a teacher. We both serve the people."

Li Yishu smiled brightly. It felt great to show off in front of the king.

As expected, when Ma Yun heard this, she was stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, Director Li is right, we are all serving the people."

Li Yishu also introduced Yu Feihong next to him: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is Yu Feihong, the teacher of Beijing Film Academy's acting class."

"Hello, Teacher Yu. Hello, I didn't expect that such a beautiful lady like Teacher Yu is actually a teacher."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yun looked at Yu Feihong in surprise. He had thought that the other party was a movie star whom he didn't know, and was very surprised to find out that he was a teacher from Beijing Film Academy.

"Hello, Teacher Ma." Yu Feihong shook hands with the other party politely.

At this time, the waiter also came over with tea and fruits.

Ma Yun also stood up to pour tea and said enthusiastically, "Director Li, try the West Lake Longjing tea here. I have drunk a lot of Longjing tea, and this one feels the most authentic."

Li Yishu picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip. The taste was okay, not bitter or astringent, but there was no lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

"How is it, Director Li? How does it taste?"

"I don't know much about tea, as long as it tastes good."

"Director Li is right. As long as the tea tastes good, that's fine."

"..."

Seeing Ma Yun complimenting him so much, Li Yishu felt very happy, but only he could feel this kind of happiness. One wanted to make friends, and the other wanted to get to know her, and the two soon started chatting.

Although Yu Feihong didn't know why Li Yishu was so optimistic about this English and international trade teacher, she was smart enough not to say anything nonsense. Instead, she would interject a few words from time to time to make the conversation more lively.

Li Yishu said at this time: "Teacher Ma, how many employees do you have at Haibo Translation Agency?"

Seeing that they were talking about work, Ma Yun quickly said, "Including me, there are a total of 16 people, but I also hired a lot of retired foreign language teachers. They are not formal employees, but an employment relationship."

"That's it..."

Li Yishu pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher Ma should know that I make movies. I have a film company under my name and need to produce foreign language subtitles, not limited to English. I wonder if Teacher Ma is interested in taking over our company's translation business?"

"Of course I'm interested!"

Ma Yun said excitedly: "Director Li, please rest assured. We at Haibo Translation Agency are not the best in the country in terms of foreign language translation, but we are definitely first-class, because every translator is either a university professor or a university teacher, and we have many teachers who are proficient in various languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, etc..."

"Teacher Ma, don't get excited yet. We not only have movie subtitles translated, but also DVD translations."

Seeing that Ma Yun was eager to tell all the advantages of Haibo Translation Agency, Li Yishu interrupted and said:

"I originally wanted to set up a translation department, but today I met Mr. Ma and learned that your Haibo Translation Agency has a lot of experience in foreign language translation. I thought that if I find you, you should be able to perfectly translate the movie lines into foreign languages, so I want to invest in your Haibo Translation Agency. I will not participate in the management, but mainly for the translation needs of movies and DVDs."

Upon hearing about the investment, Ma Yun became even more excited: "No problem, Director Li. Our Haibo Translation Agency is currently worried about how to expand its scale. It would be great if Director Li could invest!"

"Haha, Teacher Ma is joking. It's mutually beneficial."

Li Yishu immediately took out a business card box from his pocket, took out a business card from it and handed it to the other party: "My company's phone number is on it. I will let the company know later. Teacher Ma, just call them and someone will contact you."

"thanks, thanks."

Ma Yun excitedly stood up and took the business card. It not only had Li Yishu's mobile phone number, but also the company's contact information. He carefully put it away and took out his own business card: "Director Li, this is my business card."

Nowadays, people who go out to do business basically print business cards. After all, not everyone can afford a mobile phone that can store phone numbers, and most people still use pagers.

They sat for another ten minutes or so, then Li Yishu and Yu Feihong stood up to say goodbye. Ma Yun enthusiastically sent them downstairs. Looking at the other person's back as he left, he took out the business card from his pocket and felt that today's trip was really worthwhile!

Being able to meet a great director like Lee Ye-seo was something I would never have dared to think of in the past!

After walking a few hundred meters, Yu Feihong couldn't help but ask, "Yishu, do you think highly of Mr. Ma?"

Li Yishu smiled and said, "I just think this person has a very different appearance, and his manner of speaking is very good. He will become a great man in the future!"

"It's good that he looks very different. The university teacher's speech and manner of conversation must be extraordinary. But are you sure he can become a great man?"

Yu Feihong stared at him suspiciously, feeling that what he said was a bit far-fetched.

Li Yishu laughed: "Just kidding, we walked such a long way and we are thirsty. Teacher Ma invited us to have tea. Not only can we save dozens of dollars, but we can also find a professional translation agency to cooperate with. What a great thing."

No matter what era, merchants at tourist attractions are always black-hearted. They will charge dozens of yuan for a pot of tea and some fruits.

You have to remember that this was 1994, and many people in remote areas might not even earn a hundred yuan a month.

Even in Yanjing, the average annual salary is only over 6500 yuan, which is only over 500 yuan a month.

No wonder there are so few customers.

"You are really..."

Yu Feihong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect Li Yishu to have such a bad taste.

But this is the only possibility, otherwise there would be no need for Li Yishu to invest in a translation agency in Hangzhou.

There are many professional translators at Yenching, so why go far away?

After staying in Hangzhou for a few days, Li Yishu met many relatives from Yu Feihong's grandmother's side.

It was not until the fourth day that Li Yishu simply packed her luggage and set off for Hefei.

Originally, Yu Feihong was also planning to go together, but something unexpected happened at her home, so she was unable to go in the end.

With Huo Wenxi at Pioneer Electric and the local government investing in the factory, Li Yishu is not too worried about the company's development.

Today, Pioneer Electric's main business, VCD, has become regular, and its second-generation product, DVD, is also under development. It has also started cooperation with major film studios and Xinhua Bookstore.

As long as we follow the steps and make steady progress, Pioneer will surely have a share in the future domestic electrical appliance industry.

After Li Yishu visited the VCD factory and the DVD burning factory, he spent two days with Huo Wenxi. When he received a call from Gong Li, he returned to Yanjing.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. As soon as Li Yishu followed Gong Li back to the courtyard house she bought, a big fight broke out immediately.

In just a dozen minutes, Li Yishu was forced to surrender.

Gong Li looked at him and couldn't help but said, "Why can't you do this?"

"I, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm just tired from the flight. How can a man not be able to do that? Wait until I've rested, and then you'll see how I deal with you."

Li Yishu looked unwell. He admitted that he forgot to make wolfberries for the past few days, but he was mostly tired. He was really just tired.

In less than half a month, he first went to Sichuan, then to Hangzhou, and then to Hefei, and now he is hurried back to Yanjing.

Flying is fast, but it is still a long journey.

"Yes, yes, you are tired. Wait until you have rested before you deal with me."

"You wait!"

Li Yishu gritted her teeth and decided to make some wolfberry water later and then take some Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

However, there are not many left. Next time when I have the chance to visit Taiwan, I will go to that Chinese medicine store to buy it.

The Liuwei Dihuang Pills made by the boss himself are of really good quality.
