My capital is quite large.

Shenzhen, Haofeng Networks headquarters, president's office.

Li Feng leaned back in the large leather boss's chair, holding Liu Yifei's resume and a career plan for the next few years.

Having spent 85 million to acquire one of the top actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry, he naturally wouldn't accept some inexplicable bad films like her former sugar daddy did, thus wasting her national popularity.

In his past life's memories, from 2008 to the following few years, it can be said to be the lowest point of Liu Yifei's entire acting career.

After leaving the comfort zone of television dramas, resources for the big screen dried up, and the few movies she made received lukewarm responses, wasting the golden years of her career as an actress.

Since Liu Yifei is now the highest-potential trump card in Haofeng Film and Television's hands, he naturally wants to pave the way for her on the big screen to solidify her commercial value.

"Old Han."

Li Feng pressed the internal phone and called in the director of the film and television department.

"Contact Hong Kong and Huayi Brothers. There are two big film projects currently in development: 'Aftershock' and 'Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame' directed by Tsui Hark."

Old Han was taken aback: "President Li, both of these are big-budget productions with renowned directors and star-studded casts! I heard the investment is in the hundreds of millions."

"We want a big production."

Li Feng pushed a document full of annotations to Lao Han, saying, "Tell both of them that Haofeng Films will participate in the investment of a large sum of money in both of these films! We are not short of money, but we must secure the role of the female lead, or at least the second female lead."

"Understood, Mr. Li! I'll take the team to discuss it right away!" Old Han said with a knowing look on his face.

......

After explaining the allocation of resources for film and television, Li Feng got up and went to the Internet platform R&D center next door.

Haofeng's success on Weibo has proven that his strategy of breaking through Tencent's defenses in the social media arena has been a resounding success.

Next, he will fire a second shot into the penguins' heartland.

"Weibo is our social forum, but we also need a content screening room that can retain users' attention for a long time."

Standing in front of the whiteboard in the R&D center, Li Feng addressed several core technical staff members and wrote three words heavily on the whiteboard: "[iQiyi]".

"Starting today, half of the elite staff from the platform department will be selected to develop our own independent video player software, named 'iQiyi'!"

"The film and television department spent nearly 200 million yuan to buy the exclusive online broadcasting rights for the drama series, and they will eventually have a place to be used."

One of the project managers raised his hand and tentatively asked, "Mr. Li, since we're going to build a large entertainment platform, and we already have movies, games, and social media... why don't we also develop a digital music player? After all, listening to music is a major need for young people online these days."

"music?"

Li Feng shook his head without hesitation, rejecting the suggestion outright: "Don't waste even a single line of code on the music."

Seeing the somewhat puzzled looks on his subordinates' faces, Li Feng gave them a realistic breakdown of the industry's financials:

"When it comes to the internet, you have to keep your eyes on the big picture. Do you know how big the Chinese music industry is right now? At most, it's 5.7 million RMB!"

"Sounds like a lot? But let me tell you, this 5.7 million is only about one-nineteenth of the current size of the film and television industry! And one forty-fifth of the online gaming industry!"

"Pirated MP3s are rampant in the market now, and users have no habit of paying for digital music, so the music market is barely profitable."

"With such a huge disparity, why waste time and effort building a music software from scratch that won't make any money, and then fight to the death with those piracy websites? It's like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon! When copyright awareness truly awakens in China, then we can use the money to acquire a music player with a mature copyright library."

Film and television broadcasting rights + fan economy + gaming moat.

These are the three core areas he must hold onto tightly right now! Singers and the music market are not yet worthy of his attention at this juncture!

……

Late at night, a large flat in Shenzhen Bay No. 1.

Li Feng had just finished showering and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a black bathrobe, flipping through the latest financial reports.

Zhang Xinyu was kneeling on the carpet, gently massaging his calves to relax his muscles.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Zhang Xinyu frowned slightly. Who would ring the boss's doorbell so late?

She stood up, walked to the entrance, and opened the video intercom. When she saw the face wearing sunglasses on the screen, her expression instantly became a little strange. Then she opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Yang Mi, who had taken advantage of the film crew's holiday to fly all the way from Hengdian to Shenzhen overnight.

Compared to her haggard and devastated state during her last visit to Shenzhen, Yang Mi today seems like a completely different person.

She was wearing a fitted burgundy trench coat, with black lace trim faintly visible underneath.

Her face was adorned with exquisite and alluring makeup, and her signature fox-like eyes burned with a heart-stopping ambition and seductive charm.

"Miss Yang, you..." Zhang Xinyu was about to speak.

Yang Mi completely ignored her, walked past Zhang Xinyu, and with graceful steps, went straight into the spacious and luxurious living room and came to Li Feng.

"Boss, I've come to see you."

Yang Mi's voice was sweet and delicate, as if you could squeeze water out of it.

Li Feng put down the briefing in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him with great interest.

Without any hesitation, Yang Mi took off her burgundy trench coat in front of Zhang Xinyu, who was standing not far away, and threw it on the single sofa next to her.

Beneath the trench coat was a barely-there black lace camisole that accentuated her figure.

Then she stepped forward, straddled Li Feng's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"The film crew is on holiday, and I missed you, so I flew over to take care of you as soon as possible..."

Yang Mi looked at Li Feng with seductive eyes, then lowered her head, her moist red lips lingering lightly on Li Feng's earlobe and neck. She deliberately adjusted her posture so that Li Feng could feel the presence of the brand more clearly.

She adopted the lowest possible stance.

Since humiliation was inevitable, she would play the role of a plaything to the extreme! She would make this man unable to resist her desires!

Seeing Yang Mi's obsequious flattery, Zhang Xinyu, standing behind her, couldn't help but curse her as a vixen in her heart.

At the same time, she also genuinely felt the desperate desire to climb to the top emanating from this popular female celebrity.

The living room lighting became ambiguous.

Li Feng naturally had no reason to refuse this little vixen who came to his door.

Throughout the night, Yang Mi used every means and trick she could think of, passionately and tirelessly catering to Li Feng's every command.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Li Feng stroked her smooth, long hair, a glint of insightful understanding of human nature flashing in his deep eyes.

"Speak, what do you want after making this special trip?"

"Which big-budget movie have you got your eye on?"

He was prepared for Yang Mi to make exorbitant demands.

As long as her requests aren't excessive, and considering how sensible she's been tonight, he wouldn't mind granting them.

However, to Li Feng's surprise...

"Boss, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Yang Mi gently shook her head, a charming smile playing on her lips. "I don't want anything."

"I am your property, how dare I make demands of my master? I flew here today simply because I missed you and wanted to serve you wholeheartedly. As long as you still remember me, I will be content."

Do you want nothing?

Looking at Yang Mi's exquisite face, Li Feng was slightly taken aback at first, and then chuckled to himself.

What a brilliant move – retreating to advance!

"They have quite the ambition."

"Since you don't want anything, then stay and keep me company for a few more days."

Li Feng flipped over and pinned the ambitious little fox beneath him once more.

Since she wanted to use this bed to climb the social ladder, he naturally didn't mind giving her the opportunity, after all, what he admired most were ambitious young people who worked hard.
