The food at the banquet was very good. It was definitely the work of a chef. It looked, smelled, and tasted good. Xiao Yunhai naturally did not stand on ceremony. He sat there and ate without any scruples.
In the entire banquet, regardless of gender, everyone was wearing a suit or gown. Only Xiao Yunhai was wearing a T-shirt.
The others were all there talking and chatting courteously, but Xiao Yunhai was sitting there eating and drinking heartily, appearing to be a maverick.
"Old Wang, did you see that? Our Mr. Xiao is really awesome. He's wearing a T-shirt and eating and drinking at this kind of event. He's really unscrupulous. "
"He's the richest man in the world and the son of the Xiao family. He has the right to be willful. Hehe, let alone wearing a T-shirt, even if he wore a beggar's shirt, who would dare to look down on him? "
"Yeah. Whether it's in the business world or the entertainment world, he's already at the top of the global pyramid. He doesn't care about these external things. "
"Hehe, I think he's doing it on purpose for David Steyr to see."
The Minister of Culture, Liang Qianqiu, had been surrounded by the crowd. It was not easy for him to get rid of the people who toasted him. When he saw Xiao Yunhai sitting there eating and drinking alone, he could not help but feel happy. He thought to himself, This kid has a really good appetite. He can eat like this even at this kind of event.
When he came in front of Xiao Yunhai, Liang Qianqiu joked, "Mr. Xiao, isn't it a little inconsistent with your status to eat like this here?"
Xiao Yunhai picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He said, "Minister Liang, you're a high-level official of the national government. How can you have such thoughts? There's no distinction between high and low people. Do you think you're superior just because you have money and power? That's why, Minister Liang, your thoughts are very dangerous. "
When Liang Qianqiu heard that, he pointed at Xiao Yunhai and scolded jokingly, "Don't give me that, kid. To be honest, I didn't expect you to come here to attend the banquet organized by Steyr Networks. Hehe, what do you think? Do you have any thoughts about them coming to Hua Xia with great fanfare to set up an internet company? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "This is a guy who wants to snatch the cake. He will definitely cause Hua Xia's companies to unite against a common enemy. Hmph, Hua Xia has dozens of big and small music websites, four video websites, and a large shopping website. That's enough. Who would have thought that they would want to join in the fun? Weren't they just looking for a beating? Uncle Liang, your Ministry of Culture has to distinguish between friend and foe. You can't side with outsiders just because they are an internationally renowned company. "
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "This mouth of yours, can you say something nice? You want to be my enemy? What is friend or foe? As long as they can pay taxes for our country normally and don't violate our laws, they are me. The government should provide protection and convenience for them. I'm a little worried about you now. "
Xiao Yunhai asked in confusion, "What are you worried about?"
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "I'm worried that you will be beaten up in front of your house. That would be very embarrassing."
Xiao Yunhai curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Just based on that David Steer? Hehe, don't joke around. In America, he can't even do anything to me, let alone in Hua Xia. "
At the banquet, David Steer was chatting and laughing with everyone, but his eyes were glancing at Xiao Yunhai from time to time. His gaze was gloomy and cold.
After a while, Jason Steer came in with State Preceptor Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong. He looked around and saw Xiao Yunhai sitting there eating and drinking. His eyes lit up and he walked towards him.
Man Wenbin saw these people and said in surprise, "Why are Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong here? They don't seem to have a good relationship with Yunhai. "
"What do you mean not good? It's very bad. That Cao Dingzhong has been banned by Yunhai, "Wu Yifa said.
Hu Yaoting laughed and said, "I think Mr. Jason Steer, the successor of Steyr Networks, wants Yunhai to lift the ban on Cao Dingzhong, right? Because I heard that Cao Dingzhong has joined Paramount. " “
"Then there will be a good show to watch," Wu Yifa said excitedly.
Jason Steer walked in front of Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, you have a good appetite."
Xiao Yunhai said, "'The Grandmaster' sold well at the box office under your attacks. Of course I'm happy."
This sentence made Jason Steer very depressed. A trace of gloominess flashed in his eyes and he said, "Mr. Xiao, you must be joking. You should know these two people, right? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. Could it be that our Hua Xia's Grand Preceptor, Director Mo, and Mr. Cao Dingzhong have joined Paramount? "
Jason Steer smiled and said, "That's right. Our Paramount is very honored to have received the favor of these two teachers. I heard that Mr. Xiao and Mr. Cao Dingzhong are not on good terms. This time, I'm here to be a peacemaker. There's a saying in Hua Xia that it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. I hope that Mr. Xiao can give Steyr Networks face and lift the ban on Mr. Cao. "
After Jason Steer came in, he went straight to Xiao Yunhai. Everyone at the party had already placed their attention on them. When they heard Jason Steer's words, everyone knew that he was deliberately slapping Xiao Yunhai in the face.
Everyone knew that since Xiao Yunhai entered the industry, he had only banned one person in the country, and that was Cao Dingzhong in front of them.
If Xiao Yunhai agreed to lift the ban on Cao Dingzhong, then his face would really be lost. If he didn't agree, once the Paramount movie starring Cao Dingzhong was released in all the major cinemas in Hua Xia, then Xiao Yunhai would also lose face.
Jason Stehr's actions instantly caused Xiao Yunhai to fall into a dilemma.
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Mr. Steer, you're exaggerating. I didn't ban Mr. Cao Dingzhong. Didn't you see that his movies are still being broadcast on TV and online? "
Back then, Xiao Yunhai banned his movies, not his previous works and TV series. What really made him unable to film was actually the Brilliant Film Company behind him.
Now that their contract had expired, with the help of Grand Preceptor Mo Kaixuan, they joined Paramount, which was at odds with Xiao Yunhai.
Mo Kaixuan sneered and said, "Those are all old movies. Mr. Xiao, I once begged you to let Cao Dingzhong go. Unfortunately, you didn't agree. Now that Cao Dingzhong has joined Paramount, I hope you can be merciful and don't let the major cinemas ban him. "
Xiao Yunhai glanced at Mo Kaixuan and said, "Teacher Mo, you've all joined Paramount. There's no need for me to be merciful. You really think too highly of me. "
Jason Steer said, "Mr. Xiao, I understand what you mean. But I want to tell you that whether you let go or not, Paramount will protect Mr. Cao Dingzhong. "
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Do you think you can protect him?"
Jason Steer said, "I don't think it's difficult for Steyr Networks to protect someone."
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully, "Don't talk about Steyr Networks. In America, you can do whatever you want. The government is your backer, and even the President is protecting you. But in the end, you can't do anything to me. Paramount TV station, amusement parks, and movies have all lost to me. It can be said that you've suffered a crushing defeat. Haha, now you come to Hua Xia and tell me that it's not difficult to protect someone. What right do you have? Hmph, you can't even protect your half-brother, and you still have the nerve to say such things. In my opinion, it's simply a joke. "
When Jason Steer heard this, his face was so gloomy that water was about to come out of it. His vicious gaze shot toward Xiao Yunhai like a knife. He said in an extremely cold tone, "Xiao Yunhai, don't you think what you said just now was a bit too much?"
Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "Didn't you call the two of them here to demonstrate your power to me? I can tell you clearly now that I don't care about other places, but in Hua Xia, if his film wants to enter the cinema, let alone the door, there isn't even a window. Unless you can build a new cinema in Hua Xia, you'd better not daydream. "
"How domineering."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, many people couldn't help but think of this sentence.
Cao Dingzhong's face was pale.
He originally thought that after joining Paramount, he could restart his film career. He didn't expect that Xiao Yunhai actually didn't care about Steyr Networks at all. And looking at the situation, Steyr, the crown prince, didn't seem to be able to do anything. This made Cao Dingzhong very disappointed.
Jason Stehr said coldly, "Let's wait and see."
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said disdainfully, "You're not even fully grown yet you only know how to talk big. Your father's words are more like it. You, kid, forget it. You're still far from it. "
