Bix nodded and sat across from Winslet.
Then, Xiao Yunhai saw four or five tall, serious bodyguards sitting around them.
Bix said, "Mr. Xiao, please don't laugh at me. I've been in the business world all my life and have offended too many people. I have to be careful. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's what I should do. Mr. Bix, I know you're an efficient person, and I don't like to argue over small profits. Let's get to the bottom of this. "
Bix's eyes lit up and he gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up. "Mr. Xiao, you're a straightforward person. You really suit my taste. I think Annie has already told you my bottom price. 80% of the market value of Paramount Amusement Park plus the European TV broadcasting rights. I won't agree to it even if it's a single dollar more. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "The amusement park is not a problem. As for the European TV broadcasting rights, I want to buy it for 30 years. I wonder if Mr. Bix can do that? Also, how much do I have to pay? "
Bix thought for a while and said, "30 years is not a problem. Our Time Warner still has that much influence. As for the price, it's estimated to be no less than 15 billion USD, and it's a one-time payment. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "That's too high. As far as I know, Time Warner only has to pay 500 million USD to the EU every year to get the broadcasting rights. Although the total amount is about the same, I'm paying it all at once. This is a big loss. Moreover, I've already paid you more than 30 billion USD to get it. If you pay 15 billion more, it'll show that you're not sincere. At most, 5 billion. If it's a deal, then forget it. "
Bix frowned and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously. After thinking for a while, he said, "At least 7.5 billion USD."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There's a saying in Hua Xia that goes, 'even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still justice.' Mr. Bix, if this deal doesn't work out, let's look forward to next time. "
Winslet looked at Xiao Yunhai in surprise. "Xiao Yunhai, are you rejecting me?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Same as Mr. Bix. If I say five billion, it's five billion. I won't pay a single dollar more. Since Mr. Bix doesn't agree, I have to give up. "
Bix chuckled and said, "I've really met my match today. Mr Xiao, you have more character than I thought. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "We martial artists don't have too many tricks up our sleeves. We say whatever we want. I hope Mr. Bix doesn't mind."
Bix said, "Not only do I not mind, I even admire it because I am such a person. Alright, I'll take a step back and use 2.5 billion to make friends with Mr. Xiao. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "My friend is worth more than 2.5 billion."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Christy sighed and said, "You big bosses really don't care about money. This is the first time I've seen a business deal worth nearly 100 billion dollars settled in less than two minutes. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "This is called efficiency. Mr. Bix, since we're done talking, let's enjoy the Italian steak here. "
Bix nodded and said, "Okay."
Although Bix did things in a hurry, when he ate, he was very aristocratic. He chewed carefully and swallowed slowly, just like a British prince.
As for Xiao Yunhai, he couldn't care less about this. To him, eating was for the sake of not starving, and also for the sake of having a sumptuous meal. If he ate like Bix, then he might as well kill him.
Moreover, with his digestive ability and appetite, the second meal would probably start as soon as he finished the first meal.
Therefore, when Bix and the two beauties had only eaten half a plate of steak, Xiao Yunhai already had five empty plates in front of him.
Half an hour later, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, including the bodyguards, Xiao Yunhai finally finished his twentieth plate.
Winslet asked softly, "Xiao, are you full?"
Xiao Yunhai touched his stomach and said, "I'm about 50 to 60 percent full. I don't have much activity at night, so I need to eat less. The steak in this western restaurant is really good. It's much more tender than Hua Xia's. It's just that the amount is too small. One plate is at most two ounces. If it's lunch, it's impossible to eat less than 30 to 40 plates. "
Everyone was speechless when they heard that.
Bix's eyes were full of surprise. He said, "Mr. Xiao, do all martial artists like you eat so much?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "When martial arts reach a certain level, your appetite will increase greatly. My grandfather is 95 years old this year and eats at least 20 pounds of beef a day. If he practices martial arts for two hours a day, he won't get sick. Even 30 to 40 strong men can't get close to him. "
"95 years old? He can fight 30 to 40 strong men? That's unbelievable. "Bix couldn't believe his ears.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Hua Xia's martial arts can become the best in the world for a reason. If it wasn't for the internal injuries he suffered during the war when he was young, an expert like my grandfather could live at least 150 years old. But it's hard to say now. "
Bix's eyes lit up when he heard that. He asked impatiently, "Mr. Xiao, can practicing Hua Xia's martial arts really make one immortal?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Life and death are like spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It's the law of nature. No one can escape it. However, when martial arts is practiced to a certain level, it can indeed resist aging, strengthen the body, and prolong life. "
Bix asked, "Mr. Xiao, you're known as the best in Hua Xia. According to your martial arts realm, how old can you live? "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "150 years old is definitely not a problem. As for whether I can live to 200 years old, that's up to God. But I don't plan to live until then. It's too painful. When everyone around me is dead and there's no one to talk to me, I'll end it myself. "
Bix said with admiration, "Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect you to be able to see through life and death at such a young age. It's really admirable. Unlike us, although we have money, what we fear the most is death. Mr. Xiao, I'm not in good health right now. I wonder if you can teach me some martial arts to maintain my health? I'm willing to pay the price, no matter how big it is. "
A super-rich person like Bix controlled trillions of wealth. He was in a high position and his status had reached the peak. The next thing he cared about was his own health.
Just like Qin Shi Huang in ancient times, after he became the emperor, he sent people everywhere to look for the elixir of immortality. He just wanted to live a little longer.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I'm only 25 years old now. I don't need to maintain my health. However, my grandfather is an expert in this field. He once created a set of health exercises based on Tai Chi. My family members all practice this. Like my mother, she practiced for an hour every day for more than 20 years, rain or shine. She has never been sick. So if you want to ask about some health exercises, it's best to ask my grandfather. "
Christy asked, "Mr. Xiao, I've seen your mother. Her complexion is really good. She doesn't look like a woman in her fifties at all. I wonder if I can learn from it? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "In the past, my grandfather felt that martial arts shouldn't be passed on easily. He forbade us from passing it on to outsiders. Now, he's a lot more open-minded. Plus, this set of martial arts only has the effect of prolonging life and delaying aging. It's not aggressive, so he didn't ban it. Kree Christie, don't you have a good relationship with my mother-in-law? You can learn from her the next time you see her. "
Christy said happily, "That's great."
Bix asked, "Mr. Xiao, may I know where your grandfather is? I'd like to pay him a visit. "
For Bix to say something like "pay him a visit", it was obvious how much he was looking forward to it.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course he's in Hua Xia. Mr. Bix, do you speak Hua Xia? "
Christy said with a smile, "Mr. Bix is a language genius. He knows at least five languages. Other than English, his best is Hua Xia."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Mr. Bix is really amazing. My grandfather doesn't speak English and has a bad temper. If you communicate with him in English, he'll definitely chase you away after a few sentences. "
Bix said, "Capable people usually have bad tempers. Mr. Xiao, what does your grandfather like? I can't go there empty-handed, can I? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "You can bring some wild ginseng, lingzhi, and other precious herbs. Don't worry about the rest. I'll go back to Hua Xia in a few days. When the time comes, you can come back with me. "
Bix said happily, "That's great. Mr. Xiao, I'll get the broadcasting rights for you in Europe within a week. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "That's great. Thank you. "
The two of them talked for another half an hour before leaving the restaurant.
