Emperor Superstar Cultivation System
Chapter 428: The deepest temptation
"What should I do? It's just a matter of conscience." Lin Xiao said without thinking, "He wants to deceive the customer, but it depends on whether he deceives or not!"
"In this matter, even if we break the contract, the public opinion will be on our side for several major movies. And I just want to make this movie well. The rest has nothing to do with me."
His eyes brighten up. "It's just a partnership. If he wants Daybreak to be the benchmark for their 'cheap film studio', I'd rather break the contract!"
"It's just a guess." Qin Zhong pondered and said, "Maybe it hasn't reached this point."
"I'm afraid we've reached this point." Just then, a voice came from the door.
"Chu Yiming? Aren't you in Wuhan? Why did you come to Beijing?" Qin Zhong asked suspiciously.
"I came to Beijing to do some business. I didn't intend to meet you at first, so I left after I finished." Chu Yiming said coldly, "But a few 10 minutes ago, the old man called and asked me to come to the company to see 'Baoxiao and Warner' In addition, the chairman of Wanda personally asked my father for help.”
"This matter itself has nothing to do with us, but it is closely related. It just happens that you learn a lesson." Chu Yiming sat down unceremoniously, "Are you feeling alert now? It's too late."
"Where do the film and television circles pay attention first? There is only one place, and that is the government!"
"Whatever the government's policy is, one step late may lose a pot of gold. It's the same for any business, let alone the entertainment industry, a new policy can make you lose millions." Chu Yiming sighed and said, " When joining the WTO, you should be vigilant, if such a giant company finds us, what should we do?"
"First of all, you have to consider the government's attitude. The government welcomes it but is extremely sensitive. The film and television industry cannot withstand such a big shock, especially the seven giants in the world. They will doubt whether our company has been bought? Will they use Lin Xiao Your reputation is used as a benchmark to attract other domestic companies to play for Warner. If so, they will definitely not hesitate to kill you. What is the most in the entertainment industry? People!"
Both Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong were speechless. They were not serious businessmen, especially Lin Xiao, who just wanted to make their own movies and walk their own way.Compared with Chu Yiming, who grew up in this kind of circle since childhood, his reaction to these was not so quick and profound.
Chu Yiming looked at the two of them without saying serious words. After all, this is not the time for arguing. He is now staring at Li Kebao openly and secretly. He has come to Lixiao in a grand manner. The SARFT must have known about most of the news. .
He sighed and said, "In any case, you absolutely cannot agree to be Time Warner's partner! You must make it clear that it's just this film. If they want to break the contract, they would rather not make it than give excuses to those who are jealous of you."
"If you change to a smaller company, that's fine. But the point is that Lin Xiao is too famous now, and Time Warner is even more famous. The combination of the two will step on a line that the government doesn't want us to touch."
"Now, please come in, Mr. Li Kebao." Chu Yiming sneered, "I've heard his name a long time ago, Steve Case's confidant, I want to see what kind of person he is."
"You think deeper than us." After a few seconds of silence, Qin Zhong said in admiration, "I know that listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, we were negligent after all. Their real purpose is to use us to win people's hearts and gradually become a Chinese giant controlled by foreign companies. This is Steve Kay Si's Jedi counterattack."
"Feng Xiaogang can't move, Zhang Yimou can't move, the final bet is on me." He suddenly laughed, "Am I so valuable?"
"Mr. Lin is more valuable than expected." A peaceful male voice sounded at the door.
The three of them all looked over, and there was a fat and round man in his 40s, in a suit and leather shoes, standing at the door.
"Come here uninvited, you'll be treated as a bad guest." Qin Zhong said with a frown.
Since he analyzed Time Warner's purpose in detail, he naturally didn't like it.
Sometimes, a movie is not just a movie, it can be a tool to spread the spirit, and it can also be other unimaginable things.
Like now.
Before the filming of Painted Skin started, this kind of huge twists and turns occurred, and no one expected it.
"Evil guests can also bring good things. Regardless of whether they are evil or not, are they still guests?" Li Kebao walked in with a smile, and Li Qiangwei followed behind him.
He sat down with a smile, and Lin Xiao also laughed, "Have you heard Mr. Li?"
"I just heard something." Li Kebao didn't deny it at all. "I told you at the airport that Warner Bros. would soon enter China, so I knew you would definitely think of this."
"With your voice, the whole country has done enough publicity. It's really a good business with huge profits." Qin Zhong smiled unkindly, "But you think this will kill us?"
Li Qiangwei was expressionless, Li Kebao looked at the three people in the room, smiled, and suddenly took out a piece of paper and put it on the table.
Blank cheque!
"A check from a Swiss bank." He said with a slight smile, "Another thing, this check is in hundreds of millions."
"Of course, it's dollars."
"As long as you nod your head. Stand on our Time Warner warship. Just lift your leg, it's so simple." He seemed to be persuasive. "Look, this money will be used to expand the dawn countless times. It can be used for all of you Packaging, development, and even poaching Asian superstars."
"It only takes one action."
"In business and business, isn't it worthwhile to exchange one action for hundreds of millions of dollars?"
None of the three spoke.
Li Kebao's actions were so simple and rude, directly using Uncle Sam's most effective means.
Some things may look vulgar, but when accumulated to a certain amount, it is an irresistible temptation.
For example, Lin Xiao, Qin Zhong, and Chu Yiming had the check in front of them.
"One hundred million..." Qin Zhong's eyes became a little straight, "fill in the number, and he will belong to us?"
"It also means that you have entered the big family of Time Warner." Li Kebao was also very jealous. It is impossible to earn such a sum in several lifetimes.
"Your contract, management, will join the most experienced Warner employees. The name of Daybreak will be resounding throughout Asia."
Chu Yiming took a deep breath. He was the most authentic businessman among the three, with hundreds of millions of dollars, which was nothing less than a huge sum of money to Yongle behind him.
For individuals, that is astronomical.
"Wonderful numbers..." He muttered to himself, and Li Kebao cast a understanding look.
Lin Xiao touched the check with his hand, picked it up and blew it.
The check made a soft "chick", as if a gold coin had rolled into the pool of gold coins.
"This number is enough to seduce the deepest passion." He stared at the check and said.
Li Kebao smiled. It seems that every candy is slapped, so there is no need to slap.
This candy, I am afraid that even humans cannot refuse.
In the next second, his smile froze.
"But I don't need to."
Lin Xiao casually put the check on the table, turned to the two people next to him and said, "Whoever wants it, leave Lixiao to get it yourself! Or I leave, and you two will share it equally!"
"Why do I want it? I have a good life." Chu Yiming said with difficulty, and finally forced his eyes to move away.
"If I take it, the old man will probably shoot me." Qin Zhong also laughed.
"You..." Li Kebao looked at the three young people in front of him in disbelief, and said in shock, "You refused?!"
"You actually refused? Rejected hundreds of millions of dollars?!"
"Although this is program funding, oh dear friends, don't you know about gray income?!"
He is already incoherent, are the three people in front of him too stupid?As long as you scrape a little bit of oil and water, you don't have to worry about it for a few lifetimes!
"Mr. Li Kebao." Lin Xiao stood up, crumpled the check into a ball, made a shooting motion, and threw it into the trash can accurately.
"You got one thing wrong from the start," he said seriously. "I've never been a businessman."
"The reason why I start a company is not to make money, but for my own survival."
The eyes of the two met.
One ancient well has no waves, and the other is full of shocks.
Of course, it was the check that shocked him.
That is the world's most prestigious bank check that can withdraw billions of dollars!
It was crumpled up like garbage and thrown into the trash can? !How could he do it!How can he throw it so accurately? !
"If we agree to you, we will turn our backs on the entire Chinese film and television industry! We will help you deal with the developing mainland film and television industry! What was thrown into the trash just now is not a check, but my principles!"
"Well said!" Chu Yiming clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said!"
"Mr. Li Kebao, you can think of me as a businessman. To be precise, among the three people, only I have the talent for doing business, and I am the only one who is really an out-and-out businessman."
He looked directly at the other party and said word by word, "But, I don't sell my conscience!"
After finishing speaking, he easily lay down on the sofa and said with a smile, "When I was in college, I met many famous directors. Filming is my dream, a dream that is destined not to be realized."
"Dreams are priceless."
"I don't have any dreams, it's just that I don't like it." Qin Zhong looked at the mouth slowly, and suddenly looked at the two and said with a smile, "Hey, look at me, the old man taught me."
Li Qiangwei was also shocked.
She didn't feel much about what they said.Her movements were the same as Li Kebao's, staring blankly at the trash can.
Inside, lay a check for [-] million yuan!
The two turned their gazes back, looked at the three of them dully, and then at the trash can.
Suddenly, she let out a scream that didn't sound like a human voice, and rushed to the trash can and frantically rummaged through it.
"Just open another one, as for?" Lin Xiao smiled.
"You don't understand this, the movies are all torn up." Qin Zhong said.
"Yes, otherwise no one knows what will happen if someone with a heart gets it." Chu Yiming's voice.
Then, there is silence.
Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds.
"Several, this is how you treat Time Warner's sincerity?!" A voice that was so angry that it was suppressed came from Li Kebao's mouth.
His whole body was already so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, enough to boil his brain.
"A check for [-] million yuan! [-] million yuan! You just threw it into the trash can?!"
"You, a small company, turned a blind eye to Time Warner's invitation?!"
The sensory stimulation just now has completely plunged him into a rage.
"Do you know what this means!" He gritted his teeth, his gaze was like an arctic glacier, "You are finished!"
"In this matter, even if we break the contract, the public opinion will be on our side for several major movies. And I just want to make this movie well. The rest has nothing to do with me."
His eyes brighten up. "It's just a partnership. If he wants Daybreak to be the benchmark for their 'cheap film studio', I'd rather break the contract!"
