Although the Great Wall Automobile Company was said to be a private enterprise, the government actually owned 35% of the shares. Because of the high salary and good benefits, many leaders would put their children and relatives into the company. As time passed, more and more people would join the company, causing the Great Wall Automobile Company to deteriorate.
Wu Yong saw this and was anxious. However, he had no choice. Even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to fire these people.
Xiao Yunhai said, "But what does this have to do with you investing in my automobile company?"
Wu Yong said, "I want to start anew. Although Great Wall Motors has various problems, it has mature automobile technology. If you want to build an automobile factory from scratch, it will take at least five to six years. I'm willing to use all of Great Wall Motors' technology to invest in Changjiang Automobile Company. When the time comes, you can use it directly or continue to research on it. There won't be a problem. Mr. Xiao, this will save you a lot of time. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Mr. Wu, how many shares do you want? "
Wu Yong said, "40%."
When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he laughed and said, "Mr. Wu, you really know how to joke. Forty percent was absolutely impossible. Let's put it this way. Even if we don't have Great Wall Motors' technology, we can still use our wealth to buy those automobile companies. Then, like Yunqing Network Company, we can hire countless engineers, experts, and technicians with high salaries to develop new technologies. With our ability, we can create Changjiang Automobile in less than two years. "
Wu Yong did not doubt Xiao Yunhai's words. He frowned and asked, "Then, Mr. Xiao, how many shares do you think are suitable?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I don't know. If you really want to do this, I'll get the new CEO of Changjiang Automobile Company to contact you after he takes over. I don't care about these things. "
Wu Yong nodded and said, "Alright. I hope we can have a chance to work together in the future. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and picked up a cup of tea, saying, "Then let's use tea as wine to celebrate the future."
Time passed, and Xiao Yunhai was very busy every day. He went out at seven in the morning and came back at ten in the evening. He stayed in the Olympic Stadium every day to watch everyone's rehearsals.
During this time, Xiao Yunhai brought over four excellent songs from the 2008 Olympic Games from his previous life. He also chose four good songs from this world to form a total of eight songs for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. There were more than a hundred singers participating, and almost all of the top singers in Hua Xia and above were included.
While Xiao Yunhai was busy with the Olympics, his movie "Forrest Gump" was finally going to be released in Europe and America.
When Xiao Yunhai was interviewed at the Jinzun International Film Festival, he said that Forrest Gump would win the Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Film awards next year.
His confident words soon spread all over the world, and the fans who were already looking forward to Forrest Gump became even more excited.
David Hartnett was in charge of the promotion of "Forrest Gump" from the beginning to the end, and he only spent 50 million USD on it. In order to keep it a secret, Xiao Yunhai only made the trailer for half a minute, which was even shorter than "Jade Dynasty."
The fans didn't buy it. They all felt that Xiao Yunhai was slacking off. There were even some companies with bad intentions that let people spread rumors that Xiao Yunhai didn't respect the fans.
Fortunately, the publicity department of Marvel Comics was not to be trifled with. They used thunderous means to solve the problem.
According to statistics, 45 million people in Europe and America pre-bought tickets for "Forrest Gump" from April 8th to April 12th at six in the evening. It was enough to ensure that all the theaters would be full for the first four days.
In order to attract people to watch it in theaters, Xiao Yunhai set the price of "Forrest Gump" at 22 USD in North America.
Europe had just gone through an economic crisis, and people hadn't recovered yet, so the price was even lower. It was only 15 Euros, which was 18 USD.
Yanhuang Cinemas naturally attached great importance to Xiao Yunhai's movie, and they directly vacated 80% of the 2D theaters.
The remaining 20% of the theaters only showed four 2D movies that were not afraid of death. They were all works of unknown directors and actors, and they weren't there to make money, but to make a name for themselves.
As for those directors who wanted to make money, they had already adjusted their schedules to other times and stayed away from it.
At eight in the evening on April 12th, countless fans in Europe and America walked into Yanhuang Cinemas in an endless stream.
Marvel Comics didn't hold a grand premiere for "Forrest Gump." They just invited a lot of Hollywood directors, artists, and filmmakers to watch the movie in a luxurious theater in Yanhuang Cinemas.
"Bikven, have you seen this movie made by your boss?" Hollywood director Peter Capaldi asked Bikven next to him.
Bikven shook his head and said with a smile, "If I had seen it, would I still need to come?"
Peter laughed and said, "Many directors said that Mr. Xiao's words at the Jingou Film Festival were a provocation to the film industry. In Hua Xia's words, this is called poking a hornet's nest. Do you think 'Forrest Gump' will really succeed?"
Bikven thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xiao never fights a battle that he is not confident in. This afternoon, David and I also talked about this matter. Although he didn't give me a clear answer, he said that 'Forrest Gump' is the best movie he has ever made. In interviews, he would add 'one of', but when he said it to me, he didn't. He seems to be very confident. "
Peter laughed and said, "The first literary film made by the king of commercial films can actually get such a high evaluation from the Movie King. Then I have to appreciate it."
The other filmmakers were also whispering there. It was not until the Marvel Comics logo appeared and the movie officially began that they stopped and fixed their eyes on the screen.
At the beginning of 'Forrest Gump', a white and light feather slowly floated in the vast blue sky and fell on Forrest Gump's muddy shoes.
Director Steven's eyes lit up and he said, "What does this white feather mean? Does it indicate purity? "
"Very likely." A five-star film critic suddenly said, "The character played by David is a fool with a very low IQ. Only a fool's heart is the purest. Haha, interesting. "
Forrest Gump picked up the feather on the ground, put it in a book and said a philosophical sentence to a middle-aged woman who got out of the car.
"Life is like all kinds of chocolates. You will never know which one belongs to you."
Soon, Forrest Gump was lost in his memories.
When Forrest Gump was a child, he was born with mental retardation. There were some problems with his legs and he needed to use metal braces to correct them. Although his starting point was much lower than that of ordinary people, he had a very good mother who constantly encouraged him.
Many schools would not accept such a person. Forrest Gump's mother exhausted all means and finally was able to send him to a normal school.
Forrest Gump's mother lived by renting a house. Forrest Gump liked one of the tenants who played guitar and sometimes learned to dance from him. Not long after, Forrest Gump saw in the newspaper that the tenant had become a big star.
