After leaving Hua Xia Cinema, Xiao Yunhai and Wu Hao returned to Dream Special Effects with the contract they had just signed.
It was already noon, so the two of them went to the company cafeteria for lunch.
Seeing the mysterious boss appear in front of everyone, the employees all crowded around him. Some even ran back to their own offices, took an album, and ran back to ask Xiao Yunhai to sign it.
Xiao Yunhai naturally smiled at them and agreed to their requests. He got along well with the employees, and the cafeteria was filled with laughter from time to time.
Hearing that their boss had arrived at the cafeteria, the employees who had gone home also ran back.
At that moment, the Dream Special Effects building had been completed, and it was only a five-minute walk from the company.
Therefore, the cafeteria became unusually crowded in a short while.
Wu Hao frowned and said, "Alright, Boss Xiao is here to eat, not to chat with you. Go do what you need to do. If anyone disturbs us again, I will deduct their bonus for this month. "
Wu Hao's prestige in Dream Special Effects Imaging Company was very high. Hearing him say that, everyone dispersed.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Looks like you're doing well in Dream Special Effects. You're always smiling, but you can still intimidate them at the crucial moment."
Wu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "They only listen to me because of the bonus. Usually, I'm their punching bag."
The two of them got their food and found a quiet corner to eat.
Dream Special Effects Company's food was definitely one of the best among all the companies in Beijing. The chefs they hired were all very good. They had three different flavors: Sichuan, Shandong, and Guangxi. The variety was enough to satisfy almost everyone's appetite.
Even if the employees went home to eat, they would not forget to get food from Dream Special Effects.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao. I'm Rowan Akkinson. Thank you for letting me study here. "
A magnetic voice came from behind Xiao Yunhai, speaking in authentic American English.
Xiao Yunhai turned around and saw a Caucasian man wearing glasses and a smile on his face. He was holding a lunchbox and looking at him with an awkward expression.
Xiao Yunhai stood up and smiled, "Hello, Director Ai Jinsen. We met twice at the Oscars, but we didn't have time to talk. Did you arrive yesterday? "
Rowan Atkinson sat on the seat beside Xiao Yunhai and nodded, saying, "Yes. After I received the notice from MGM Grand, I immediately flew here from Los Angeles. After watching some of the content of "2012" that you filmed, it really opened my eyes. I can only say that this trip was not in vain. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Akkinson, the fact that you chose to use 3D technology to film 'Traveling the Universe' shows that you are a very wise director. 3D is a perfect match for a sci-fi movie like 'Traveling the Universe'. As long as you can make people feel like they are in the vast starry sky, then the box office of this movie is likely to be higher than we can imagine. "
Rowan Atkinson smiled. "I think so too. Mr. Xiao, thank you again for allowing me to come to Dreamland. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and smiled. "You don't have to be so polite, I'm doing this for myself. If you can't learn how to film 3D movies, then who am I going to sell my 3D camera to? "
"Hahaha."
Rowan Atkinson was amused by Xiao Yunhai's words and couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them talked about 3D technology and were very agreeable.
After a while, Xiao Yunhai suddenly changed the topic and said, "Mr. Atkinson, you are the most famous director of commercial films in Hollywood, and I heard that you don't have a company yet. If Marvel Comics wants to invite you to join them, is that possible? "
There were three very famous freelance directors in Hollywood. One was Steven Moffat, who specialized in romance films, another was Peter Capaldi, who specialized in literary films, and the last one was Rowan Atkinson, who seemed to be able to film any genre in front of Xiao Yunhai.
Rowan Atkinson smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I heard from Bikven that your Marvel company is the most considerate company in Hollywood for directors and artists. If there comes a day when I want to find a company to rely on, I will definitely choose Marvel. "
Xiao Yunhai understood the principle of not going too far, and said: "I look forward to the arrival of that day."
After dinner, Xiao Yunhai returned to his office and called Xiao Yuanyang.
"Brother, is it convenient to talk?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled. "Say it, what is it?"
Xiao Yunhai told him about the 3D screen and said, "Help me ask Li Guoke and that government shareholder, Mr. Chen Zixuan, out this afternoon. I want to have a good talk with them."
Xiao Yuanyang said, "Sure, no problem. This is great news for Hua Xia Movies. I'll help you, be it for business or personal reasons. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Brother, this doesn't count as abusing your power for personal gain or oppressing others, does it?"
Xiao Yuanyang guffawed. "You let them earn 1.5 times the profit. If this counts as abusing your power for personal gain or oppressing others, I hope someone can oppress me."
Both of them laughed in unison.
After agreeing on a hotel, Xiao Yunhai drove to Yun Yi Shopping Network.
When he arrived at Wu Yifa's office, Xiao Yunhai knocked on the door.
"Come in." Wu Yifa's voice came from inside.
Xiao Yunhai pushed the door open and saw Wu Yifa and a few men in suits sitting on the sofa, seemingly discussing something.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xiao Yunhai, and then all of them stood up and greeted him successively.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao."
"Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xiao Yunhai nodded at them and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. Take your time, I'll go sit next door for a while. "
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "You should stay, big boss. We're done with what we need to talk about and are just chatting. Let me introduce you. This is the boss of Changhe Apparel, Mr. Zhang Changhe. This is the boss of Wanfang Toy Factory … "
Following Wu Yifa's introduction, Xiao Yunhai realized that all of them were CEOs. They were probably here to discuss the online sales with Wu Yifa.
They dared not slight Xiao Yunhai, a world-class tycoon, and spoke respectfully.
They were all businessmen who knew how to get along with people. They knew that Xiao Yunhai must have something to discuss with Wu Yifa, so they left after a casual chat.
After sending them off and returning to his office, Xiao Yunhai said, "If I knew you had so many people here, I wouldn't have come."
Wu Yifa chuckled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you came at the right time. Otherwise, you'll think that I have nothing to do all day. Tell me, you never visit a temple without a reason. " Just tell me what you want. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I want to treat you to a meal. But I need you to bring Mr. Wu Chenglue, the shareholder of Yanhuang Cinema. I heard that he's your uncle, right? "
Wu Yifa narrowed his eyes and asked instead of answering, "Is there a problem with the 3D screen?"
Xiao Yunhai was surprised and said, "How did you know?"
Wu Yifa said proudly, "As an excellent businessman, of course I have to be observant and alert. Your 3D imaging technology is so good, how can I not know? However, to be honest, the price you're asking for is too ruthless. It costs 350,000 US dollars to modify a screen. Isn't that daylight robbery? How about it? Did you lose out? "
Xiao Yunhai gave him a thumbs up and said, "You really have the ability to predict the future like Zhuge Kongming. You can even guess this. I won't hide it from you. I'm now an enemy of all the movie theaters in the world. These guys want me to lower the price by 70%. It's simply an international joke. I'm looking for your uncle this time because I want to rent a part of Yanhuang Cinema and modify the 2D screen into a 3D screen to show my '2012'. Humph, as long as this movie is successful, I'll raise the cost of the modification to one million US dollars. Let's see who dares to mess with me. "
Wu Yifa said with admiration, "You're so ruthless, kid. Okay, I'll call my uncle now. "
In front of Xiao Yunhai, Wu Yifa dialed Wu Chenglue's cell phone and said a few words. The other party agreed.
What a joke, who would dare to not give face to the eldest son of the Xiao family?
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thanks, we'll see you tonight."
Wu Yifa quickly stopped him. "Wait, I still have something to ask you. You don't believe me, kid? You actually sent someone to the finance department to check the accounts. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "No, I didn't. I've never arranged that. "
Wu Yifa knew that Xiao Yunhai would not lie to him about this, so he said doubtfully, "That's not right. They said that they were sent by you and even provided proof to the finance department, saying that they wanted to check the company's accounts. "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and slapped his thigh, saying, "I know, they must be from Christy's business team. I have an economic advisory team that serves me now. I think it's them. Why don't you just call me and ask? "
Wu Yifa said, "I won't, in case you think that I've done something wrong to you and don't dare to accept the investigation. But to be honest, you do need a team like this to handle your finances. Let's not talk about anything else, just the market value of Yun Yi Shopping Network alone has reached five hundred and sixty billion. Adding in your other businesses that aren't inferior to Yun Yi's, you'll definitely be the richest man in the world in a few years. Without a business team, you won't even know how much money you have with your business acumen. "
Xiao Yunhai retorted in annoyance, "What's the point of attacking me like this?"
Wu Yifa chuckled. "Who asked you to be so outstanding? Defeating a genius like you will make me feel exceptionally comfortable and satisfied. Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. Yunhai, I want to talk to you about something related to our company. I want to expand Yun Yi Shopping Network overseas. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. "Don't you think it's a little rushed? Yes, Yun Yi Shopping Network is developing well but its foundation is still shallow. Don't you think it's like throwing away a watermelon for a sesame seed if you're already focusing your efforts outside the country? "
In his previous life, Alibaba had been developing in the country for many years and had only gone to America when it saw that the situation was set.
Yun Yi Shopping Network had been established for less than a year and Wu Yifa was already thinking of expanding it overseas. Xiao Yunhai felt that the man had been blinded by the series of victories and was taking things for granted.
