The interview continued. Rupert Graves seemed to feel that he had angered the crowd, so he focused his fire on Black Humor.
Su Yingxue looked at the clown-like Rupert Graves and said disdainfully, "I bet that he won't go tomorrow night. The reason is that he doesn't have time."
Xiao Yunhai said, "He's just a clown. There's no need to care about him."
At this moment, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a call from Kree.
"Xiao, did you watch Emma's Talk Show? That Rupert Graves has gone too far. "
Black Humor was the small-budget comedy film that Kree had told him about. MGM Grand and Paramount were like fire and water, so Rupert Graves naturally would not be polite to them.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I think you guys are the ones who are too much. With an investment of eight million, the box office exceeded one billion USD in five days. Our Battle of Red Cliffs was affected by your film. Otherwise, it would have broken two billion USD long ago. "
Kree giggled. "I didn't expect Black Humor to be so awesome."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Shouldn't a miser like you treat us this time?"
Kree said, "Of course. Xiao, you guys are going to participate in Emma's Talk Show tomorrow. What are you going to do? "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What do you mean?"
Kree said, "He's already pointing at your nose and scolding you. Can you still remain indifferent?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "To be honest, I really don't take him seriously. If it were Hanks, I would definitely scold him back. But if you want me to take an artist under Hanks seriously, I really feel that it's beneath me. "
"F * ck." Kree scolded jokingly, "You mean that our statuses are not equal. Your words are even worse than his."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. If he really dares to challenge me, I'll admit that he's a real tough guy. "
"Tsk," Kree said disdainfully, "I don't believe that he will go there next year."
The next morning, Isabelle Christy walked into Xiao Yunhai's office with a stack of documents.
At this time, she and her team had already moved to the new building, which was right next to Xiao Yunhai's office.
"Mr. Xiao, this is the contract we signed with Disney, Warner, and Paramount. From today onwards, you are no longer a shareholder of the North American cinema chain. "
Xiao Yunhai took the documents and looked at them. He pointed at Paramount's contract and said, "How can there be so much money?"
Isabelle Christy smiled and said, "As for the other two cinema chains, according to the contract, we have no choice but to sell them at 10% of the market value. But Paramount is different. You can do whatever you want with him. This 18 billion US dollars is the price offered by Leander, the boss of Thunderbolt Pictures. In order to control Paramount's cinema chain, he has no other choice. "
The market value of Paramount's cinema chain was 53 billion US dollars. Xiao Yunhai only owned 20%, which was a little more than 10 billion US dollars. Leander's offer of 18 billion US dollars was already an 80% premium.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "A few days ago, Leander called me, hoping to sell the shares to him. I said it's all up to you. It seems that I did the right thing. If it were me, it would be good if I could sell it for 15 billion US dollars at most. "
Isabelle Christy said, "That's what we do. Together with Warner and Disney, we have a total of 36 billion US dollars. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Then wouldn't I become a millionaire again? By the way, what about MGM Grand? Kree hasn't told me about it. "
Isabelle Christy said, "It should be done in two days. I heard that they sold it to a movie company at a high price. They might make a lot of money. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Very good. According to what we said before, put 20 billion US dollars into an investment company and let you control it. I'll put the rest in a Swiss bank. "
Isabelle Christy frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, may I ask, how are you going to spend the money?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Isabelle Christy revealed an "as expected" expression and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you still put it in the bank to earn interest like before, I think it's too stupid."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then you mean to use it all for investment?"
Isabelle Christy nodded and said, "That's right. In today's world, as long as there's capital, there's gold everywhere. Your monthly income is more than 10 billion US dollars, which is more than enough for you to make a movie. The rest of the money should be put to good use. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Do you have any good investment projects in mind?"
Isabelle Christy said, "That's right. We've done our research and are very optimistic about the gaming industry in Japan and Korea, the highways and real estate in Hua Xia, and the electronics industry in America, especially in the area of smartphones and laptops. Mr. Xiao, if you can give us 47 billion US dollars from the North American cinema chain, I can guarantee you that within five years, we'll bring you at least 100 billion US dollars in profits. This is the most conservative estimate. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard about these investment projects from Christy, he felt that their foresight was very sharp. These were indeed the most profitable industries in his previous life, but they just needed the right time, place, and people.
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and felt that it was a pity to leave it in the bank and let it rot, so he said, "Ms. Christy, how about this? Let me keep the MGM Grand money, and I'll give you all the 36 billion US dollars. I hope you can make me the richest person in the world in two years. "
Christy said confidently, "You don't need two years. At the latest, you'll be the richest person in the world in the second half of next year."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Then I'll wait for the good news."
At night, Xiao Yunhai brought Dong Piaopiao and Li Shangming to NNC TV station.
In the broadcast room, they saw the famous talk show host, Emma.
"Ms. Emma, long time no see." Xiao Yunhai hugged her and said with a smile.
Emma said, "Your identity is not ordinary now. You're both a global superstar and a super rich person. I'm already very happy that you can remember a small host like me."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think I've offended you."
The two of them joked around for a while before Emma looked at Dong Piaopiao, who was wearing a white dress. After sizing her up, she clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "It's no wonder you can charm those perverts. Miss Piaopiao is really too beautiful."
Dong Piaopiao slightly bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you for your praise. Ms. Emma is also very beautiful."
Emma smiled and said, "I'm already old. How can I be called beautiful? This must be Zhao Yun who shone brilliantly in the 'Battle of Red Cliff', the unstoppable hero. "
Li Shangming reached out and shook Emma's hand. He smiled and said, "Ms. Emma, hello. I'm Li Shangming. Please take care of me later. "
Emma smiled and said, "Don't worry. With a god-like figure like Mr. Xiao here, I won't be able to take advantage of you."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. Your questions are too tricky. I can't stand it. "
Everyone joked and got to know each other. Emma said, "Let's stop joking. This is the script. Take a look. "
Xiao Yunhai took the script and directly handed it to Dong Piaopiao and Li Shangming. He said, "Don't trust it too much. Because Emma is an excellent host, she will never follow this script."
Emma said, "Mr. Xiao, you're too kind. I can't accept it. The broadcast is about to start. Everyone, go to the dressing room and get ready. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded, and the three of them followed a staff member out.
At eight o 'clock sharp, Emma's Talk Show broadcast officially began.
Following Emma's introduction, Li Shangming and Xiao Yunhai very gentlemanly held Dong Piaopiao's hand and walked onto the stage.
Today's live audience was basically all young people. After seeing the three of them come out, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause, mixed with shouts and screams.
Xiao Yunhai originally thought that he would have the most fans, but he didn't expect that there were far more people shouting Xiao Qiao than him. This made him very speechless.
After the three of them sat down, Xiao Yunhai pointed at the live audience and said to Emma, "These people, where did your production team find them?"
Emma asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunhai had already participated in this show three times. Emma was very familiar with him and knew that this guy was a troublemaker who didn't play by the rules. Every time she did a show, Emma would be 120% focused, afraid that she would unknowingly fall into his trap. That would be too embarrassing for a professional host like her.
