The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 267 I treat you like a buddy!

Once outside, Liu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Although she stomped her foot in annoyance, she still looked satisfied after carefully reviewing the conversation.

Forgot that Yang Mi also had a system, which led to her being cornered and speechless by the Tang Dynasty Poet Immortal. However, she still managed to use the information gap to set up an ambush for her mother.

You really think you can't act? I'm skilled, you know! We'll see about that!
When paired together: With your more outstanding appearance, your acting skills will be significantly improved when playing a couple with Xu Jiuyang.

Nevertheless, when Liu Qianqian recalled the specific effects of the skill, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

So this means I really have no talent for performing? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

She gave a silent hum, just like before, she thought, just wait and see, she refused to believe that even with a system, she still couldn't improve her acting skills!

As for the lottery that Yang Mi mentioned... Liu Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Even if she won, it would only be a few hundred thousand yuan. Unlike Yang Mi, she wouldn't be able to open an account independently in two months.

More importantly, Mom was right. From the moment she stepped into the spotlight, the mother and daughter became completely one.

"Forget it, we'll see. Anyway, there are still a few years. Plans need to be adjusted as things change," Liu Qianqian comforted herself. In many things, she was actually quite easygoing.

Before we knew it, July 2002 arrived. The lottery draw was held as scheduled on July 2nd, with a total of 292 first-prize winners nationwide. Each first-prize winner received a prize of 136523 yuan, and the total prize money reached 39864716 yuan.

"Yay! I'm finally rich! I'm a millionaire now!" Inside someone's Passat, Yang Mi was cheering and holding up a bank card, kissing it repeatedly.

"Take it easy, there are probably a lot of bacteria on this thing," Xu Jiuyang said, half-laughing and half-crying.

"How could that be! It was just opened at the bank. Even if there were bacteria, there couldn't be many!" Da Mimi exclaimed with delight. "There's nearly 300 million in there!"

"To be precise, it's 136 million, and the other 136 million is mine," Xu Jiuyang reminded him.

"Don't be so stingy, can't you let me dream a little?" Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him.

"Hmm..." Xu Jiuyang rested his chin on his hand and squinted, "What should I do if I suddenly don't want to share it with you anymore?"

The little girl in front of him immediately tensed up like a cat with its fur standing on end, looking at him with a terrified expression, and even her lips were trembling slightly.

"Alright, just kidding." Xu Jiuyang didn't expect her to react so strongly, so he quickly tried to appease her, saying, "Although I don't have much money, I wouldn't stoop to taking your 100 million or so."

Yang Mi glared at him angrily. Although there was still a look of suspicion between her brows, she was not as nervous as before.

"Alright, let's think about what to eat tonight. I said before that if I really win the lottery, I'll treat you to dinner," Xu Jiuyang changed the subject, "any restaurant in Beijing will do."

"That's more like it." Da Mimi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the two of them went to Lao Mo for Western food.

"I thought it would be so delicious, but it's just so-so." Yang Mi said with a sigh after leaving Lao Mo. "I used to always think that when I had money, I would definitely come here to eat. Now that I've finally eaten here, I don't think it's as delicious as I imagined."

“It’s normal. That’s how it is when you can’t have what you want,” Xu Jiuyang said with a smile as he opened the car door for her. “When you don’t have someone but really want them, you naturally imagine them to be the best of the best, even if they’re not even a tenth as good as you imagine.”

"But that's just how people are, otherwise where would the motivation to move forward come from?" Da Mimi sighed again.

"I didn't know you knew a bit about philosophy," Xu Jiuyang teased as she got into the driver's seat. "Of course! I wouldn't call myself a top student, but my grades are still excellent!" She raised her chin, her pride undisguised, and her smugness was quite endearing.

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but laugh. The reason he was willing to help was precisely because the young girl, Da Mimi, was really fun to be around. She was outgoing, boisterous, and had the typical Beijing girl's personality—not stingy, a little materialistic, but not blindly so, unlike later on…

"So, how are you going to start a film and television company?" he asked.

"It's just... registering a company, then recruiting people and running around doing business," Yang Mi replied after thinking for a moment.

“You’re thinking way too simply,” Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow. “I have a game company that was just established not long ago. Would you be interested in becoming a shareholder?”

"No way?" Yang Mi's eyes widened. "I treat you like a buddy, and you're trying to sneak money out of me like this?!"

Okay, you're in good spirits now, at least not like before, when you'd be startled and your whole body would turn black and white.

"Do you know 'Legend'?" Xu Jiuyang asked leisurely.

"Don't tell me you opened it." Da Mimi snorted, her face full of "Don't even think about lying to me" expressions.

"Of course not, but by helping to select the game 'Legend' as the agent and providing some marketing suggestions, I got a 5% stake without paying a penny," Xu Jiuyang said with a smile. "In a few days, I will receive the dividend for the second quarter of this year, which will be more than one million."

That's right, he has already received the second quarter financial report. Although the revenue has decreased compared to the first quarter, it has still exceeded 100 million. In addition, the supplementary agreement signed earlier has increased the dividend rights to 5%, so he can still receive about 1 million from the net profit.

Although it will take some time before he can actually get his hands on it, he has already made a plan: use 10 yuan to buy Moutai, entrust the rest to Sister Xiaoli to buy Sina, and then mortgage it to Sister Xiaoli to invest in the new game company.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Xiaoli didn't think he was being taken advantage of, so Xu Jiuyang naturally pretended not to hear for the time being.

"Really?" Yang Mi was still skeptical.

“Perfect timing. I haven’t taken the financial report back yet. I can show it to you.” Xu Jiuyang said, opening the storage box in front of her and taking out the documents he had prepared beforehand. He then put the documents back before handing them to her. “Let’s make this clear first: after you’ve seen it, you’re not allowed to take it out and talk about it.”

"I'm very tight-lipped," Yang Mi assured, patting her chest.

To be honest, Xu Jiuyang had asked Fan Bingbing out of curiosity why she didn't release the financial report to the public. The result was: I'm not going public. If I need financing, I can ask Li Yunxin or Angela. So why should I release it?

After careful consideration, he had to reveal his true colors as Jia Bin. The reason he remembered so many things about Shanda was partly because the marketing for "Legend of Mir" was very aggressive, making it many people's first online game; and partly because Shanda was the first listed online game company in mainland China, which was a big draw back then, and there were also many interesting stories about Boss Chen.

However, if there is no need to go public and financing is not a problem, then there is naturally no need to disclose financial reports to the public.

Of course, various financial media outlets will collect data and make inferences, but their inferences may not be accurate with the actual situation, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Hurun's rich list has been published for many years, but apart from the very first one, has anyone with the surname Rong ever made the list?

Xu Jiuyang guessed that Fan Bingbing probably didn't want to release the financial report because she didn't want the public to know that Xiao Yanzi, a national idol, actually ran an electronics company.
