this day.

Zhang Yuan was still lazing around on the recliner in the yard.

Zhao Xunxun, who lives in the courtyard, has been feeling strange recently.

The boss used to be super diligent and hardworking, why does he act like a lazy dog ​​lately?

She doesn't understand that before doing big things, one must remain calm.

Zhang Yuan was deliberately adjusting his state.

drop by drop...

The cell phone rang, he picked it up, looked at it, and then smiled.

Wang Zhonglei.

He took several deep breaths and adjusted his mood before answering the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

"Hello." Wang Zhonglei still spoke with full energy.

But it was obvious that there was a hint of fatigue in his tone, and his confidence was a little less.

There were greetings, of course, but they were much briefer than usual.

Without saying a few words, Xiao Wang went straight to the point.

"Zhang Yuan, you played several roles in our Huayi's works."

"They were all very successful, and they also boosted your popularity."

"I think both sides should be very satisfied with the cooperation."

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Zhang Yuan replied quickly.

"Ah That's good."

"As far as I know, you are still working alone."

"Always working alone is not in line with market rules. The current film and television market has gradually become a capital market. Without a big company as a backer, it is difficult to achieve long-term success."

"But take our contract a step further."

"Come to our Huayi!"

Wang Zhonglei spoke in a tone that was as polite as possible.

"Become an artist in our company."

"I promise you that I will plan your future with the highest salary and the best resources."

"I have full confidence in you."

"In our Huayi, you will definitely become the most famous and most valuable star in China!"

Zhang Yuan raised his eyelids and thought about it. In fact, what the other party said was not wrong, and it was not an exaggeration.

Those who followed Huayi and reaped the benefits of the times have indeed become top stars.

If you just talk about being an actor, in this era, following Hua Yi is a good choice.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan also believed that with his current ability and fame, Hua Yi would definitely treat him as the top brother.

but!

His ambition is not just to be an actor.

actor?

Big brother?
In fact, he only looks glamorous on the outside. In the final analysis, he is just Huayi's dog.

And with the style of the Wang brothers, once you enter their door, you have to do a lot of things against your will.

He doesn't want this.

So Zhang Yuan figured it out early on that there is actually only one ideal path.

"Mr. Wang, I also want to cooperate with Huayi."

"After all, I know your ability, and Director Feng is also a director I respect very much."

"Okay, very good." After hearing him say this, Wang Zhonglei's brows, which had been furrowed due to Sister Hua's departure these days, relaxed a lot.

“But there are many ways to collaborate.”

"Ah?" Xiao Wang felt that something was wrong after hearing another sentence.

"What do you mean!" He suddenly raised his voice.

"What I mean is, in addition to joining Huayi and becoming your contracted artist, there are other ways to cooperate." Zhang Yuan said calmly, word by word.

"You have already signed a contract with another company!" Wang Zhonglei's face gradually became gloomy.

"No, I'm free."

"Then what other ways of cooperation are there?"

In Xiao Wang's mind, there is no other way except signing a contract or cross-company cooperation.

"In fact, I also registered my own film and television investment company some time ago."

"Small companies are just a drop in the bucket compared to Huayi."

"I want to use my own company and Huayi Brothers Film and Television Company to do..."

"Betting!"

……

Not long after, Xiao Wang hung up the phone and went directly to his brother Da Wang's office.

He pushed the door open and walked in without even knocking. He then went straight to the boss's desk and sat down.

Seeing that his brother looked unhappy, Wang Zhongjun put down the documents in his hand and asked.

"Have you contacted that kid Zhang Yuan?"

"I have contacted you."

"Humph, I'm telling you, this kid is a man who can get along with everyone. He's not someone who will settle down."

"He refuses to come to our company, right?"

The big king and the little king don’t look alike, and the little king looks more ferocious.

"You have enjoyed so many benefits from us, but you are unwilling to come."

"It looks like the kid is looking for a spanking."

The king's words sounded light-hearted, but the fierce light in his eyes indicated that his methods would never be kind.

"Brother, it's not that he doesn't want to come, but..." Xiao Wang still hasn't figured it out.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"He said he wanted to make a bet with our Huayi... What does bet mean?"

Xiao Wang didn't quite understand.

The king was stunned.

"He said he wanted to gamble!"

"Correct."

"It seems that there has never been any gambling in our domestic film and television circles." When the king heard this, he stood up.

"You haven't been abroad much, so you don't know."

"VAT agreements are very common abroad, but mostly in the financial circle."

"In the film and television industry, there are also."

“The producers and distributors, or investors, are betting against each other.”

"There are always actors and companies betting against each other."

"But why did this guy bring up the idea of ​​a bet?"

Indeed, with Zhang Yuan's education and life experience.

At this point in time, he shouldn't have known about the bet, let alone used it against himself and Hua Yi.

This matter was very strange to the king.

"impossible."

"He has no experience studying abroad, nor does he have any friends in this field. How can he know about gambling?"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"

"There's someone behind him!"

"There's something fishy about this!"

The king immediately became alert.

As soon as Sister Hua left, Huayi was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Now someone suddenly wants to bet against the company, how can he not panic?

"We can't keep this person anymore," the king said.

"I see!"

At this moment, Xiao Wang clapped his hands, then rummaged through the magazine rack in his brother's office and picked up an entertainment magazine that had just been published a few days ago.

After turning to a page, he spread the magazine in front of his brother.

"look!"

The title of this page is .

"Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu are deeply in love on stage, and they fall in love with each other outside of the stage."

It’s also quite catchy.

The accompanying picture shows Zhang Yuan toasting with Boss Chen, with the mother and daughter of the Liu family sitting next to them.

"Chen Jingfei..." The king looked at him carefully.

“So he taught me that!”

Why did Zhang Yuan not hesitate to create a scandal and ask Liu Qianqian to help him make an appointment with Boss Chen?

Just because of the bet, it was not reasonable for him to propose it.

Therefore, he had to find a reason that would reassure the Wang brothers.

To deceive stupid people, you must make them believe you.

But if you want to deceive a smart person, you have to make the other person believe you!

"Boss Chen is in charge of overseas financing. He must have been the one who suggested to Zhang Yuan to bet against us." The king immediately looked at the picture and spoke, personally helping Zhang Yuan find a reason.

"This is interesting."

"Boss Chen and Zhang Yuan must have some kind of cooperation, otherwise they wouldn't help him plan this."

After the king knew this, he gradually calmed down.

"Boss Chen, you still have Liu Qianqian in your hand."

If we say that Zhang Yuan is one of the hottest male stars among the younger generation in China today.

Then Liu Qianqian is one of the female stars in the front row.

This is another reason why Zhang Yuan wanted to have dinner with Boss Chen.

Because Liu Xixi is actually also Huayi’s target!
"I strongly suspect that Boss Chen might be using Zhang Yuan to help him 'explore the way'."

"If Liu Qianqian wants to move forward in her acting career, she has to find a big company to work with."

"Let Zhang Yuan cooperate with us first, and then he will see the results..."

"Hmm." The king followed this line of thought and suddenly realized that this bet involved two future stars.

"What are the terms of the bet proposed by Zhang Yuan?"

"He said..." On the other side, inside the courtyard.

Cheng Hao opened the gate in a hurry and headed straight towards Zhang Yuan as usual.

But today, before he even reached the middle of the yard, Zhao Xinxin pounced on him.

"Good sister, please help Brother Zhang Yuan!" The girl looked worried.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was not in a good state, Cheng Hao also became nervous.

"Brother Zhang Yuan is gambling!"

"what!"

When Zhang Yuan was making the phone call just now, Zhao Xinxin was listening nearby.

She didn't understand, she only heard words like "betting".

Thinking of Zhang Yuan's recent lazy behavior, he began to think of him as a gambler.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Hao came to him and asked.

"I heard that you are now successful and have made some money. Not only are you spending lavishly, but you are also gambling?"

"Gambling...Oh, I guess so." Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

"You, how much money did you bet?" Cheng Hao was disappointed when he saw him admit it.

She always felt that Zhang Yuan was the smartest man in the world. Although he often did dangerous things, he was definitely not a fool.

But now...

Zhang Yuan counted on his fingers and replied, "It should be more than 100 million."

"Duo Shao!" This number scared Cheng Hao so much that he could hear the accent of his hometown Qingdao, Shandong.

Good guy!
Cheng Haoxin said, I don’t even dare to burn such a large amount of money at the grave.

"You owe more than 100 million in gambling debts?" Cheng Hao's eyes were filled with tears.

It's several million, she can help pay some of it back, or at worst sell some houses and assets.

But more than 100 million...this number is too terrifying, she dare not even think about it.

"If we sign a contract with Huayi, we will owe more than 100 million."

"Hua Yi?"

"Yes, Huayi and I proposed a bet."

"Well, I'm betting on that film and television production and investment company that you accompanied me to set up before."

"Don't worry, sit down and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Zhang Yuan took her hand and found that it was trembling and cold, so he touched it for a while.

I also helped to cover it.

"What I proposed to the other party was a one-to-three share allotment."

"Use my company's shares to exchange for the Huayi brothers' shares."

"And sign a three-year bet agreement."

"Every year, my company's revenue needs to reach a certain standard."

"Note that it is revenue, not net profit."

"And only investment and production revenue are calculated. My personal income and commercial endorsements are not included."

"The first year was 20 million, the second year was 30 million, the third year was 40 million, and it increased by 10 million every year."

In this case, the total revenue in three years needs to reach 90 million.

But this was his suggestion, and the other party will definitely raise the price.

Including the 1:3 stock allotment ratio, the other party will definitely ask for a reduction.

Ask for a high price and pay it back, so Zhang Yuan said that he owed more than 100 million because he predicted that this was the number the other party would give.

The reason why he chose to gamble with Huayi was that after Sister Hua left, Huayi adopted the method of internal stock allotment and sold shares to its directors and stars in order to quell the turmoil within the company and attract external talents.

Exchanging shares for cooperation is the strategy that Huayi will use in the future!

Moreover, betting with Huayi and acquiring shares is the only way Zhang Yuan can currently see to accumulate wealth quickly.

And the purpose of acquiring these wealth is not for entertainment, eating, drinking and having fun.

Instead, we should use them to “purchase” the ticket to enter the Internet platform era!
"What, what are these?" Cheng Hao didn't react for a moment.

Just like what the king thought, ordinary actors nowadays shouldn’t understand the concept of gambling.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao had a very good brain, and after Zhang Yuan explained it to her in detail, she roughly understood it.

"Then why are you doing this?"

"What I'm betting on is not the company's performance, but Huayi's listing." Zhang Yuan stroked her smooth hair and said, "Once the other party goes public, I will get a lot of profits."

"I know that, but what grounds do they have to bet against you?" Cheng Hao discovered the crux of the matter: "What did you promise them?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and replied in a low voice.

“If the company’s revenue does not meet the target.”

"Hua Yi has the right to take back his shares."

"And I need cash to make up the difference."

"This is too..."

Cheng Haocaigang opened his mouth but was interrupted by him.

"It's not over yet."

"In addition to these, I will also sign a ten-year agency contract with the other party after the bet fails."

Cheng Hao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

There are only two things Huayi wants.

Money and people.

So, he added money and people to the conditions for failure.

Only by putting yourself in the game can you have the possibility of achieving a win-win situation.

"You're crazy." Cheng Hao's eyes were red and his lips were trembling.

"ten years."

"You only have a few decades!"

"I don't want you to be taken in by Xiao Wang through the back door..."

Zhang Yuan: …

Hey!
So this is what you are worried about.

"You're afraid that I'll fail."

"But if it succeeds, my company and I will officially become the top names in the Chinese film and television industry."

“Risks and opportunities coexist. This is the best of times, but also the worst of times.”

"Now you understand why I want to separate the agency and the film and television investment company."

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"You are only betting against the production and investment companies. Even if you fail, the agency is still yours, and the people are still yours."

"Yes, and I know that even if I fail, you will still support me, right?"

"I won't pay any attention to you." Cheng Hao slapped his hand away and turned away: "You can find any woman to raise you."

"But I just want you to support me." Zhang Yuan said, holding his chin.

Cheng Hao's delicate body trembled, and then she relaxed somewhat weakly.

"You will succeed, right?" She turned around and held Zhang Yuan's hands.

"Of course, I have never failed before."

Huh... My dear sister took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality.

"Since you have made your decision, I can't stop you even if I don't stop you."

They sat in silence for a long time, forehead to forehead.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm here for something today." Cheng Hao is a man who gets things done after all, and he jumped out of his chaotic emotions very quickly.

"You asked me to contact Li Ning for you, and I did, and the other party responded."

"How to say?"

Cheng Hao said with a dark face.

"The people at Li Ning said they only look for international sports superstars to be spokespeople."

"What I mean is, who do you think you are?"

Zhang Yuan: …

No, it’s fine if Li Ning’s people rejected me, but do you need to be so harsh in “translating”?

Done!

I was just talking about this with Liu Xiaoli and Boss Chen.

When Liu Qianqian found out that I was turned away, she must have been so happy.

I guarantee you'll slap your thigh and laugh at me.

Zhang Yuan replied with a frustrated look on his face.

"Then it was all in vain?"

"It's not in vain!" Cheng Hao suddenly laughed.

"What's up? A polar bear cub was found in an iceberg?"

Cheng Hao: ???
"Li Ning doesn't take you seriously."

"Adidas would love to use you for its sauce!"

"After I quoted a price of 20 million to the other party, he responded."

"I am willing to sign a contract with you for 18 million for three years!"

Cheng Hao raised his hand.

"applaud!"

Even Zhao Xunxun who was standing beside him clapped his hands.

Zhang Yuan also started having sex with the two women.

"It seems that it is still a positioning problem."

“Adidas has a strong fashion attribute.”

"But Li Ning is more focused on professional fields at this stage."

"cut!"

"You still despise me, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you even asked Xiao Zhan to be your spokesperson in the future..."

That’s all.

At least I can make money. It's impossible for everything to go as I wish.

This is the largest single endorsement fee I have ever received, and it is worth celebrating.

Of course, there is more good news.

The landlord of the house that I asked Brother Qian to help me find has now agreed to sell it.

But good things are easy to be snatched away by others.

At this moment, a competitor has emerged... (End of this chapter)
