Many ordinary people did not understand what the word "mafia" meant. It was just like how power was not as effective to ordinary people as it was to those in the upper class. The higher one's level was, the more they would be in awe of power.
The people present were in awe of the Mafia. For them, the Mafia was even more awe-inspiring than the President of the United States.
In the face of the current situation and politics, these celebrities often dared to express their own opinions. Even some big stars would criticize the President. But who had ever seen them criticize the Mafia? Unless they didn't want to live anymore.
The influence of the Mafia was all over Hollywood. Many Hollywood teams had the shadow of the Mafia behind them. It could be said that a word from the Mafia was enough to make anyone in Hollywood unable to do anything!
The relationship between Conner Pictures and the Mafia was not close, but obviously there was some relationship. Otherwise, it would not have been able to gain a foothold. Could a phone call from Xiao Bing break the 20-year relationship between Conner Pictures and the Mafia?
These people still did not believe it. They were still looking at Peng Geli, still waiting for the result of the matter.
Peng Geli sighed softly and said, "I know you like women, but why did you have to mess with Mr. Xiao's woman?"
The Mr. Xiao that Peng Geli mentioned was Xiao Bing, but there was no difference in Conner's ears. Conner thought that Mr. Xiao was Xiao Jun, but they were actually the same person.
Conner was a little confused. He was just an assistant of a female star. Did the Godfather of the Mafia have to call him in person? He even said as if he had messed with the President of the United States' woman!
Connor smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Peng Geli. I really don't know who this Mr. Xiao is. He's just a celebrity assistant. Is he worth my attention?"
Peng Geli snorted twice, but he saw that Conner did not know Xiao Bing's true identity. He guessed that Xiao Bing did not want to say it, so he did not say it. After all, it would not be good if he made Xiao Bing unhappy. In fact, big bosses like him were now paying attention to Xiao Bing and the U.S. They were still very conflicted in their hearts. On one hand, no one wanted to see someone above them, so if Xiao Bing died, it seemed to be a good thing. But on the other hand, it was not easy for the Dark World to be so united and strong. In recent years, it had become more and more peaceful. This was because of Xiao Bing's restraint. It seemed that Xiao Bing's life was a better thing.
Hearing Peng Geli's sneer, Connor felt even more apprehensive. He cautiously said, "How about you give me some pointers?"
"There's no need for pointers. If I were you, I would transfer the company at a low price now. Do you still want to continue running your company after offending Mr. Xiao? To tell you the truth, unless Mr. Xiao personally speaks, I will use the power in my hands to make you get out of Hollywood. "
Connor's face was ashen. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Peng Geli, hello … hello …"
Peng Geli had hung up the phone. Connor was sweating profusely. He looked at Peng Geli in awe. His heart was in turmoil, "How can he have such great power? It seems that the Godfather of the Mafia is in awe of him. Is he a big shot who became Bi Tingting's assistant in order to pick up girls? Yes, it must be so. Otherwise, it can't be explained at all. A big shot of this level always has some strange hobbies. But it's fine if he has hobbies, but he has implicated me. If I had known that his identity was so unusual, I would not have provoked Bi Tingting no matter what. Even if she looks like a fairy, I would not have provoked her! "
Connor hurried to Xiao Bing, nodded and bowed, "Xiao … Mr. Xiao … Please don't lower yourself to my level. It was all my fault before. Can I apologize to you? Miss Bi Tingting, I was wrong just now. As long as you forgive me, I will use all my resources to help you develop in Hollywood. I've been in Hollywood for so many years. I have some power and experience in everything I say … "
Bi Tingting looked at Xiao Bing. Apparently, she was asking for his opinion.
Xiao Bing took Bi Tingting's hand and walked toward the door of the hall. Connor hurriedly chased after them and said, "Mr. Xiao, I was really wrong before …"
While he was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the chairman of the Directors Guild. He had an uneasy feeling in his heart and hurriedly answered the phone. Then he heard someone say, "Mr. Connor, on behalf of the entire Directors Guild, I officially inform you that from now on, all our directors will refuse to cooperate with your Connor Pictures. Don't blame me for being heartless. It's just that Mr. Peng Geli has said that he will bankrupt your company and then leave Hollywood."
Seeing that Xiao Bing was still walking away, Connor was too lazy to talk nonsense. He directly hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you think? I have 65% of the company's shares. From now on, I will give 5% of my shares to you and Miss Bi Tingting. And this year, Miss Bi Tingting will be the heroine of at least two big movies! "
This was indeed a very sincere offer. 5% of the shares made all the people present jealous.
After all, the valuation of the entire Connor Pictures must reach more than 10 billion US dollars. Even more than that, 5% of the shares was equivalent to hundreds of millions of US dollars. Even for a local tycoon like Connor, it was equivalent to cutting off his own flesh.
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Bing would definitely agree, Xiao Bing took Bi Tingting's hand and did not even stop walking.
Connor gritted his teeth and said, "Then 6% of the shares. You see … 7%? 8% … "
Connor was about to cry. Even if he wanted to spend money, it was impossible to spend it so fast. He had already spent so much money, but Xiao Bing still did not agree.
Suddenly, Xiao Bing stopped and turned his head to look at Connor. Just when Connor was feeling happy, Xiao Bing suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you think that if I wanted money, I would be short of your money?"
Xiao Bing's words were very arrogant and domineering. Hundreds of millions of US dollars were just a little money in Xiao Bing's eyes. But Xiao Bing was right. It was actually very easy for people with power like him to have money. People with money would try their best to have power, but people with power could casually have money with a flick of their fingers.
Hundreds of millions of US dollars was an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was nothing in Xiao Bing's eyes.
At this time, God of Thunder Chris suddenly came over. Xiao Bing looked up at him. This Hollywood star was naturally nothing in Xiao Bing's eyes. But after all, he had spoken up for him before, so Xiao Bing still had a good impression of him.
Chris sighed and asked, "Mr. Xiao, can I have a word with you in private?"
Xiao Bing nodded and agreed. Then he followed Chris to a place not far away. When the others could not hear them, Chris stopped and said, "Mr. Xiao, although no one knows your true identity, you are definitely not an assistant. And I can see that you care about Miss Bi Tingting very much. You used the Godfather of the Mafia just for a woman. It can be seen how important this woman is to you."
Xiao Bing did not refute and waited for Chris to continue.
Seeing that Xiao Bing did not speak, Chris relaxed a little and continued, "But since you care about Miss Bi Tingting so much, in my opinion, Miss Bi Tingting must care about her acting career very much. In fact, from the beginning, I could see that she is actually the same person as me. The only difference is that I am a man and she is a woman. But we both care about our jobs very much. As for income, it is just a number."
Chris smiled jokingly and also made a humorous joke.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Your psychological quality is very good. Are you not afraid of me?"
"Actually, I am quite afraid." Chris smiled and said, "Since he can use the power of the Mafia, he is definitely not someone I can provoke. But I am not afraid, because I can see that you are a person with principles and reason. Although people with high status are very overbearing, an overbearing person who can be reasonable can be a little easier to talk to."
Xiao Bing said, "You have helped me before. I have some good feelings for you, so you can continue."
"Thank you." Chris said, "If you just want to vent your anger, you can even ask the Godfather of the Mafia to wipe him out of the world. But I think that is meaningless. Instead, it is better for you to accept his conditions. You or Miss Bi Tingting will become a shareholder of Conner Pictures. Then you can use the resources of Conner Pictures to help Miss Bi Tingting take off in Hollywood. I have seen Miss Bi Tingting's movies before. Her acting skills are very good, and she is so beautiful. There is no reason for her not to be popular. "
Xiao Bing said, "I know this. If Bi Tingting is not popular, God will not tolerate it."
"…" Although Chris said that he was very optimistic about Bi Tingting, when he heard Xiao Bing's words, he inevitably wanted to complain in his heart. In this world, there were actors who were very good at acting but did not become popular. However, it was really difficult for a woman like Bi Tingting, who had good resources, a good image, and good acting skills not to become popular.
Chris said with a smile, "Indeed, if she is not popular, God will not tolerate it. But you must also want to help Miss Bi Tingting create a good situation. Maybe if you use the power of the Mafia, no one in Hollywood dares not to give you face, and you can act in any show you want. But have you ever thought that if you really force her to break up her family this time, everyone in Hollywood will be in awe of Miss Bi Tingting in the future. It may not have a great impact on her career, but will it help her develop happily in Hollywood? "
Xiao Bing pondered for a moment, revealing a thoughtful look.
Chris said with a smile, "In fact, no matter what you do, the road to Hollywood is bound to be feasible. But if everyone around her is afraid of Miss Bi Tingting, do you think she will be happy in Hollywood where she can't make true friends?"
Xiao Bing patted Chris on the shoulder, then turned to Connor and said, "Thank you for helping you, Chris. Otherwise, I will ruin your family and you will not get a penny. 10% of the shares, plus you must promote Bi Tingting's two big movies this year. It is a bargain for you! "
10% was more painful than cutting his flesh. But somehow, when he heard Xiao Bing's two conditions, Connor felt weak all over and sat directly on the ground. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Thank you, Mr. Chris. Thank you, Miss Bi Tingting …"
At first, everyone thought that Bi Tingting, who had offended Connor, would definitely not have a good time. Now they saw Connor begging to give the shares to Bi Tingting, and finally, he really gave it to her and thanked her with tears of gratitude. They were all dumbfounded. At the same time, when they looked at Xiao Bing this time, the way they looked at him was no longer the same as before. Before, they all thought that Xiao Bing was a madman, and Bi Tingting must be a fool to be Xiao Bing's girlfriend.
But now they were in awe of Xiao Bing. As for the female stars like Dai Mo, they were afraid of Bi Tingting and also envied her.
Xiao Bing and Bi Tingting became the only protagonists at the celebration dinner of Connor Pictures!
