On the dance floor, Winslet and Bix only danced for a short while before Bix left and was replaced by George.
George looked at Winslet's evasive gaze and felt a pang of sorrow. "Annie, have you fallen for Mr. Xiao?"
Winslet was stunned. "George, you …"
George smiled bitterly. "Annie, I know you too well. You only need to give me a look, and I know what you're thinking. But what I want to tell you is that Mr. Xiao is already married, and he's very much in love with Miss Zhao. They even have two children. It's impossible for you to have a future. "
Winslet sighed. "I know. George, you're a talented, handsome, and sunny young man. You're so outstanding that I hope you won't waste your time on me. "
George's eyes were filled with sorrow. "You know how I feel about you. It's really hard for me to change. Unless one day I see you really marry someone else, I'll give up completely. "
Winslet was very touched. "George, I'm sorry."
George gave her a heartbreaking smile. "In the world of love, no one is sorry to the other. Even if you reluctantly accept me, it might not be a good thing for us. "
"Hey, Mr. Bix seems to be talking to Mr. Xiao. Why do they look so serious?" George inadvertently saw Xiao Yunhai and Bix standing there. They didn't seem to be talking very openly.
In his heart, Xiao Yun Hai's face even showed a hint of anger.
Xiao Yunhai was indeed very angry. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Bix had originally promised him, but now he suddenly said that he couldn't handle it. What kind of joke was this?
Was he trying to coax a child?
Xiao Yunhai glanced at Jason Steer, who was chatting with a beautiful celebrity. He thought to himself, Is this guy behind this?
He took a sip of red wine and suppressed the anger in his chest. "Mr. Bix, I, Xiao Yunhai, am a straightforward person. I don't like to beat around the bush. To be honest, I'm very annoyed by what you've done. "
Bix had always been a tough guy. His words and actions had always been domineering. But this time, even he himself felt that he had done something wrong. He couldn't help but lower his stance. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry. My friend from the EU Parliament suddenly told me that because Hua Xia's CCTV will be broadcasting two programs in the EU, they have tightened the approval of broadcasting rights. I'm afraid no one will be able to get a broadcasting license this year. I … "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Mr. Bix, you don't have to find these reasons to deceive me. If you still think of me as your friend, please tell me frankly. Is Jason Stehr behind this? "
Xiao Yunhai was almost certain that David Steer's son had used some kind of sweet words to convince Bix, but he needed to confirm it.
Looking at Xiao Yunhai's eyes that were as sharp as swords, Bix didn't hide the truth for Jason Stehr and said, "That's right, George did just talk to me about this. But it was still me who played a decisive role. Mr. Xiao, your Marvel TV station has only been on the air for a little more than a week, and it has already set off a huge ratings craze in North America. Yesterday, it even beat NBC and took the top spot in the ratings. This has made me feel a huge amount of pressure. If we let you get the broadcasting rights in Europe, it's definitely not a good thing for NBC. "
"However, what I said is indeed true. Originally, the approval of the license could have been approved in a week, but it was delayed because of the Hua Xia government's problem. Whether it can be approved or not, I really don't dare to guarantee. Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry. "
Hearing Bix's honest words, Xiao Yunhai's face looked a lot better. He said, "Thank you for telling me the truth. It seems that our Marvel TV station is still very powerful. It can actually give you so much pressure. However, Mr. Bix, I want to remind you that what you did is equivalent to losing more than 30 billion USD. I don't know if you've calculated this amount? "
In order to get the broadcasting license, Xiao Yunhai sold the Paramount Amusement Park, which was originally sold at a price 20% above the market value, to Bix at a 20% discount. That was more than 30 billion USD in one transaction.
Now that Bix unilaterally tore up the contract, it was equivalent to throwing more than 30 billion USD into the water. The price could be said to be very heavy.
Moreover, he violated the contract. According to the contract, Bix still had to pay Xiao Yunhai two billion USD for breaching the contract.
In Xiao Yunhai's opinion, this was simply a stupid thing to do.
Anyway, if he stood in Bix's position, he would rather die than choose to do this.
However, Bix seemed to have eaten a heavy weight and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is the first time I've violated the contract. I'm really very sorry. As for the breaching of the contract, I'll have someone transfer it to you tomorrow. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "It's okay. I don't have to rely on Time Warner to get the broadcasting rights in Europe. As for the decision you made today, it will be proven that you were wrong. Steyr Networks and I have a very bad relationship. Apart from doing this to prevent my Marvel TV station from entering Europe, they also have the intention to sow discord between my relationship with Time Warner. I definitely won't fall for such a trick. "
Bix said, "Mr. Xiao is indeed wise and farsighted. You see things very clearly. We, Time Warner, will be your competitor, but we will definitely not be your enemy. I hope Mr. Xiao can understand this. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course I understand. Mr. Bix, our plan has been completely disrupted. I need to go back and inform them immediately. I'm sorry, I have to go first. "
"Xiao, are you leaving?" Winslet saw that the two of them seemed to be having an unpleasant conversation and hurriedly walked over with George.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Annie, I'm sorry. I have something urgent to deal with. Happy birthday to you again."
Winslet's eyes were a little bitter. She said, "Then I'll send you off."
Xiao Yunhai said, "No need. So many friends are here. It would be rude if you weren't here. "
George said, "Xiao, let me send you off on Annie's behalf."
"Okay."
Xiao Yunhai nodded to everyone and turned to walk out.
When he passed by Jason Steyr, Xiao Yunhai stopped and stared at him coldly. "Mr. Steyr, you're really good."
"Mr. Xiao, you flatter me. Compared to you, I'm still far behind, "Jason Steyr said with a smile.
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "You're indeed far behind. You only do things that harm others without benefiting yourself. How much can you attend? Throughout the 5,000 years of Hua Xia's history, those who are good at scheming often don't have good endings. Mr. Jason Steyr, I advise you not to follow in your brother's footsteps. "
Jason Steyr's face was ashen. He said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yunhai said without holding back, "You don't even understand this. You're really stupid."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai turned around and left. George immediately followed.
