Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 478 The Evil Manifests the Righteous, Byte Company

When he was on earth, Jiang Wen made three films in succession, namely "Let the Bullets Fly", "One Step Away", and "Hidden Man", which were called the National Trilogy at the time.

It's just that among these three films, "Let the Bullets Fly" has truly achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success. As for the other two films, although their online ratings are also good, their box office hit the block.

In this world, Yang Mi earned about 8000 million from the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", which suddenly increased her confidence in Jiang Wen.

So he directly invested 1.5 million in "Hidden Man", accounting for 60.00% of the shares, which can be called the company's largest investment today, so Yang Mi didn't want to see this movie be affected by "Frozen".

So he said: "I watched the finished film of "Hidden Man". Although the quality is not as good as "Let the Bullets Fly", it is still very good."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Whether a film can be successful or not depends not only on its own quality, but also on its opponents."

"This year, the opponent of the movie "Hidden Man", even if I can't make "Frozen", the others are also very strong."

In fact, when he decided to let "Frozen" be released in the Spring Festival, Zhang Xiao specifically investigated other movies this year.

Good guy.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

In this year's Spring Festival, three of the movies are very famous on earth.

One is "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" directed by Zhang Yimou, another is "Cold War" starring Guo Fucheng and Liang Jiahui, and the third is "Zodiac" by Cheng Long's elder brother Zhu Yan.

When he was on Earth, Zhang Xiao went to the cinema to watch "Cold War" and "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which can be said to be rare masterpieces.

As for Brother Cheng Long's "Zodiac", Zhang Xiao has also read it online, and it has a very good reputation.

It is basically impossible for "Hidden Man" to overwhelm these three films and become the champion of the Spring Festival file.

Of course, Yang Mi also knew how powerful her opponent was, and said with a wry smile, "If I had known that those movies would appear in the Spring Festival at the same time, I would not have arranged it this way."

Zhang Xiaodao: "If you feel unsure, you can adjust the schedule!"

"Impossible." Yang Mi said bluntly: "If the schedule is adjusted, wouldn't it mean that we have no confidence in the quality of "Hidden Man" and Jiang Wen would not agree."

"You also know that he is a very traditional filmmaker, just like you, he will never compromise for the box office."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "So I admire him very much, this is the attitude that a movie should have."

"It's just a little silly." Reba next to him interjected.

Zhang Xiao immediately retorted: "This is not stupidity, but an obsession with movies. You are still young and don't understand."

"I..." Reba was suddenly speechless.

Yang Mi raised her hand and said, "Okay, you can say what you like!"

"It's just that it's almost noon, Director Zhang, should you go cook?"

Zhang Xiao let out a long sigh, pouted his lips and said, "It's really pitiful that I, a billionaire with hundreds of billions, have been reduced to the point where I cook for you every day."

Yang Mi and Reba looked at each other, and at the same time showed a smirk.

···
The next morning, Zhang Xiao received a call and came to the office of Zhang Yiming, CEO of ByteDance Technology Company.

Compared with three years ago, byte companies have undergone earth-shaking changes. During these three years, they have developed rapidly, and the industry's valuation has reached 860 billion US dollars.

It has become the third largest technology company in China after Erma Ant and Goose Factory.

Zhang Xiao bought 30% of the shares of Byte Company with 60.00 billion US dollars, and now it can be said that he has made a lot of money.

As the actual helm of a technology company worth tens of billions of dollars, Zhang Yiming's aura is not the same as before.

After letting the secretary go out, Zhang Yiming personally poured Zhang Xiao a cup of tea and said, "This is the Dahongpao, Mr. Zhang has a taste."

After taking a sip of the tea, Zhang Xiao said, "Although I don't know much about tea, I can feel that this tea is really good. It should be the top grade Dahongpao."

Zhang Yiyi said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang likes it, he can take some back when he leaves."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao took a deep look at Zhang Yiming, and said, "Yiyi, we are old friends."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, there is no need to hide it."

Zhang Yiming nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll just say it straight."

After finishing speaking, he took out a production sheet from the drawer and said: "Mr. Zhang, three years ago, the company borrowed 20 billion US dollars from you. Based on the commercial interest of 26.62% per year, the company needs to repay you [-] billion US dollars. dollars."

"This is a check for US$26.62 billion from Huaguo Commercial Bank, please take a look."

Zhang Xiao took the check and said with a smile: "It seems that this company has really made a lot of money!"

"Okay, then I'll make the check first, and I'll send someone to deliver the IOU."

"What's your second thing? I believe that you asked me to come, not just to pay off the debt."

Zhang Yiming nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang really knows everything well, I do have one more thing to ask you."

"You said at the beginning that when I have money in the future, I can use the market price at that time to take back 20.00% of the shares in your hands. I don't know if this promise is still valid now?"

Zhang Xiao's eyes flashed, he nodded and said, "Of course it works."

Then he stared at Yiyi Zhang and said, "Yiyi, the company's valuation is now more than 800 billion US dollars. Do you have that much money?"

Although Byte has developed like a rocket in the past three years, the profits it has obtained are not high.

It is not easy for Zhang Yiming to spend 26.62 billion US dollars, but now he has to spend nearly 400 billion US dollars to buy 20.00% of Zhang Xiao's shares?
This is basically impossible!
Zhang Yiming said, "Mr. Zhang, as for the money issue, I have already resolved it."

Zhang Xiao frowned and asked, "One, as a friend, can you tell me, where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Yiyi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry, I can't say anything."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, everyone has their own secrets, and I won't force you if you don't want to tell them."

"However, there is a question. You must answer me honestly. Among your money, do you have funds from abroad?"

This is Zhang Xiao's bottom line.

He didn't want his technology company in Huaguo to end up as a leek for harvesting crooked funds.

Zhang Yiyi pursed his lips and said, "Part of it."

Then he explained: "Mr. Zhang, if we decide to enter the overseas market, we will inevitably come into contact with overseas capital."

Zhang Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Don't you think it's too hasty to enter the overseas market now?"

"Although the Xunyin short video APP is the best platform in China now, there are many chasers behind."

"If you enter the international market rashly now, once you encounter setbacks, there may be big problems."

When it was on Earth, Byte was targeted by many countries when it entered the international market.
