The next day, after the press conference for the completion of Painted Skin, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing returned to Huairou.
Zhao Wanqing had not been home for more than two months. When she saw Teng Yang and Jin Yu, who were a little chubbier, she hugged them and kissed them fiercely.
Directing a movie was indeed very tiring. The director had to do everything. Painted Skin was Zhao Wanqing's first movie. As a newcomer director, it was undoubtedly more tiring.
Zhao Wanqing rested at home for a week before starting the post-production of Painted Skin.
Compared to Xiao Yunhai's Celestial Bane, Painted Skin did not use many special effects.
Therefore, it only took half a month for Painted Skin's post-production work to be completed.
Xiao Yunhai watched it from beginning to end and said with a smile, "Honey, it's well done. Although there are some immature parts in the presentation, the details are very outstanding. "
Zhao Wanqing asked, "If the total score for this movie is ten, how many points do you give to my directing skills?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Seven points."
Zhao Wanqing's beautiful face immediately turned sullen. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she said, "Only seven points."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Honey, eight points is the standard of an A-list director. It's your first time acting. It's not bad to get seven points. "
Zhao Wanqing sighed and said, "Looks like I have to work harder in the future."
Xiao Yunhai hugged Zhao Wanqing's small waist and asked, "When do you plan to release it?"
Zhao Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Early September. Do you think this movie can be released in Europe and America? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Of course it can. However, you have to bring the movie over for translation and dubbing in advance. "
Zhao Wanqing reached out and hooked her arms around Xiao Yunhai's neck. She kissed him on the cheek and said, "Of course. Honey, let's go and find Uncle Wan to discuss the publicity. "

When Wan Guanghui heard that Zhao Wanqing's movie was done, he was very surprised. "Wan Qing, aren't you a little too fast?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "She's been infected by me. She pays attention to efficiency in everything."
Wan Guanghui chuckled and said, "If it's going to be released at the beginning of September, then we'll have to start preparing for the publicity now. It's up to you to decide how much publicity you want. "
Zhao Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's advertise the Asian region at a cost of 500 million."
Wan Guanghui frowned and said, "Isn't 500 million a little too little for the entire Asia?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I also think it's a little too little. My dear wife, your film is really not bad. Although I gave you seven points for your directing skills, the film can still be above eight points. According to the current market price, 500 million was equivalent to 200 million in the past. If you're worried, you can add another 300 million to make it 800 million. Uncle Wan, what do you think? “
Because of his relationship with Zhao Wanqing, Xiao Yunhai no longer called Wan Guanghui President Wan. Instead, he called him Uncle Wan.
Wan Guanghui nodded and said, "800 million is about right. Hehe, compared to your one billion US dollars publicity fee, it is indeed a small matter. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "This is my first movie. I don't have any affinity with the audience. It's not certain if I can get good results. Unlike him, even if he makes a bad movie, there will probably be tens of millions of fans watching it. "
Xiao Yunhai said proudly, "This is reputation. I, Xiao Yunhai, never make bad movies. That's why I have such a reputation. Honey, you have to work hard. "
Zhao Wanqing handed the finished film and two edited trailers to Wan Guanghui. The rest was done by the publicity staff.
When he got home, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang just as he walked into the living room. When he opened it, the caller ID showed that it was Kree Christie.
"Mr. Xiao, the Anderson family needs us to pay them another 5 trillion USD." Kree Christie went straight to the point without any pleasantries.
Xiao Yunhai said, "How much did they spend? How's the effect? "
After Xiao Yunhai returned to China, he asked Kree Christie to keep an eye on Apollo for him. He wanted to see how they spent the money, in case they misappropriated it.
Kree Christie said, "They've already spent 20 trillion USD. The situation is very intense. The Bessie family is already on the verge of collapse. They can't hold on much longer. Citibank and TCP Energy have lost 30% of their market value, but they're still holding on and haven't issued any shares. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay. I'll call Zhao Guangting now and ask him to transfer 500 million USD to you. By the way, did the Bessie family suspect us? “
Kree Christie thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. But with such a large sum of money, I believe they'll be suspicious. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes. If it were me, I would definitely investigate the source of the Anderson family's funds. Haha, the Bessie family really has a lot of potential. 20 trillion USD can't even defeat them. "
Christy said, "No matter how much potential they have, it's useless. They can't hold on much longer. The bank is full of people every day, asking to withdraw their money, but Citibank won't even open the door. As for the big clients, they're jumping up and down in anxiety. Apollo is secretly planning a demonstration to give President Lyle a chance to intervene. "
Lyle had always been playing the role of a middleman who was slightly biased towards the Bessie family. Otherwise, with such a vicious incident happening at Citibank, the government would have already moved in.
Even now, he was suffering from the infamy of being in cahoots with the Bessie family.
If the demonstration was successful, Lyle could send people to investigate Citibank's operations without the Bessie family suspecting anything.
In that case, Citibank would have no choice but to sell their shares.
Xiao Yunhai would have an opportunity to take advantage of.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Madam Christy, Citibank is not far from collapse. Whether you want to buy it or not, whether it's worth it or not, it's up to you. “
Christy nodded and said, "We've already calculated a standard value. We'll only buy it if it's lower than this value. “
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Very good. How about this, for the sake of confidentiality, get someone to bring the signed agreement to Hua Xia. After I sign it, I'll get him to bring it back. “
Christy said, "Okay. “
Two days later, two key members of Christy's team brought the share transfer agreement of the Anderson family and the Green family to Yanjing.
Xiao Yunhai looked through it carefully from beginning to end. He was a little worried, so he got his mother-in-law, who used to work in finance, to look through it again. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name and got them to bring it back. Then, he called Zhao Guangting and handed the five trillion dollars to Christy.
At this time, Apollo's plan was completed.
At the entrance of Citibank's headquarters in Washington, a hundred thousand people gathered. Almost all of them were the bank's customers. They had all sorts of banners and were shouting loudly. There was only one goal: to get their hard-earned money back.
The Washington police were dispatched urgently to maintain order.
Elvis was like an ant on a hot pan. He gathered Fu Luoda, Vanessa, and more than ten key members of the family for a meeting to discuss matters.
"Fu Luoda, Citibank has always been under your control. What should we do now?" Although Elvis was anxious, he still looked very calm on the surface, as if he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands.
He was the head of the family. If he looked panicked, it would all be over.
Fu Luoda frowned and said, "We do have some money, but it's all to defend against the Anderson family's aggressive attacks. They are now focusing on Citibank. If this goes on, we can only last for half a month at most. We have already used up all the funds that we can raise. Now, we can only protect ourselves. As for these depositors, we really can't do anything. "
Elvis took a deep breath and said, "Vanessa, what did the banks that worked with us say? “
Vanessa smiled bitterly and said, "We rejected everyone we saw. “
Elvis said, "So there are still some that we haven't seen? “
Vanessa nodded and said, "Yes, there are many. Their reasons are the same. They went on vacation and didn't pick up their phones. “
Elvis snorted and scolded, "They are all b * stards who sail according to the wind. “
Fu Luoda said, "Uncle, what did the government say? “
Elvis narrowed his eyes and said, "I just talked to Lyle on the phone. He told me that he can't hold on any longer. If he can't solve the protest, he can only send people down to investigate. “
Fu Luoda said, "The whole of Citibank is almost empty. Most of the money we use is taken from the branches. Once the government intervenes, Citibank will completely collapse. Uncle, we can't let them come. Otherwise, we really can't hold on. “
Citibank is the number one private bank. There are more than 100 million customers in the world. They have countless big clients working with them. Once they can't hold on, even the government can't help them.
Elvis thought for a while and said, "We have no choice. Use the gold reserves."
