Thomas was stunned when he heard Zhao Wanqing's words. In terms of assets, his 12% shares in Paramount Cinemas and 73% shares in Magic Visual Effects were worth about 8 billion USD. However, these were only fixed assets. He only had 130 million USD in liquid funds, which was not enough. He had lost 300 million USD last time, which was most of his liquid funds.
Xiao Yunhai looked at Thomas's hesitant expression and laughed. He took a step back and said, "If Mr. Thomas doesn't have that much money, then let's forget about this bet. Wan Qing, let's go. "
After he said that, he purposely revealed a look of relief. It disappeared in a flash, but Thomas happened to see it.
"Hold on." Thomas chuckled. "Mister, may I know your name?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "My name is Yunhai Xiao."
Thomas said, "So it's Mr. Xiao. I'm really sorry. I apologize for my rudeness to you this afternoon. As for the bet, since we've said it in front of so many people, we can't cancel it. I don't have cash, but I have assets. Paramount Cinemas can't be used as a bet, but Magic Visual Effects can. I have 73% shares in it, and its market value is 3.4 billion USD. I'll use it to bet with you. "
Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed, but he looked troubled. He said, "Magic Visual Effects? Is it worth that much? "
In this world, although the filmmakers had started to pay attention to special effects, it was not as important as it was in his previous world.
Magic Visual Effects was the strongest in Hollywood. It had a team of thousands of people, and there were dozens of patents for special effects technology. The annual patent revenue alone was 200 million USD.
If such a company was on Earth, its market value would be at least 10 billion USD.
Thomas said, "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mike and Kree. I'm not lying. "
Kree nodded and said, "Thomas is right. However, for a special effects company, the most important thing is the patent. Without it, it's just an empty shell. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Thomas is taking advantage of my ignorance. Kree, how many patents does he have? "
Kree said with great familiarity, "There are a total of 64 patents for Magic Visual Effects. Thomas' father owns 52 of them."
Thomas glared at Kree and said, "I can get someone to bring all the patent certificates here. There are lawyers here who can change the patent technology."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Isn't it a bit of a loss for me to use cash to exchange for the patent for the special effects technology?"
Thomas said, "If you don't dare to bet, then forget it. Don't make excuses."
Xiao Yunhai seemed unable to take the provocation and said, "I don't dare to bet? Alright, now bring me all the things I need. Kerry, could you please help me get some lawyers to come over? I don't trust others. "
Kree saw that Xiao Yunhai trusted him so much and patted his chest happily. He said, "I'll get my private lawyers here. I promise they'll do a good job."
The person in charge of the underground fighting competition, Glinton, walked over with a smile and said, "I wonder if the two of you want to continue the bet?"
Thomas said, "Glinton, I'll let you make a lot of money this time. The bet for our first match is 500 million USD. "
When Glinton heard that, his eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky. A smile brighter than flowers appeared on his wrinkled face. He said humbly, "Is there anything I can do for you two distinguished guests?"
50 million USD in a single match. Glinton's heart was blooming with joy.
Thomas said, "I need you to help me confirm that Mr. Xiao really has 500 million USD."
Glinton nodded and said, "Of course. Mr. Xiao, may I know which bank card you're using? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Gold card from Hua Xia Bank."
Glinton smiled and said, "That's great. We happen to have a Hua Xia Bank transfer service here. You see … "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and asked Gao Xiangfeng and Meng Fang to protect Zhao Wanqing to confirm the money in the card.
Thomas called his butler and asked him to bring all the patent certificates over. Then, he found his private lawyer and sat down to wait for the news from Glinton.
Xiao Yunhai walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a long-distance call to Wu Hao.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, it's three in the morning. What are you doing?" Wu Hao grumbled in a daze.
"Hao Zi, listen to me. I have a way to get the patent for Magic Visual Effects. Do you have any use for it? "
"What?" Wu Hao was so excited that he was no longer sleepy. He said, "Mr. Xiao, don't joke with me."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I don't have time to joke with you. I'm in Hollywood, America right now. However, this person only has fifty-two patents. I'm not sure if I can get all of them. So, I'm calling to ask you. Let's get the part that you need first. "
Wu Hao said, "That's great. Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I'll go online and check the patents for Magic City. Then I'll make a list according to the importance and send it to you via email. Mr. Xiao, once this is done, I promise that within half a year, our company will be the number one special effects company in Asia. That's great. "
After ending the call with Wu Hao, Xiao Yunhai asked Glinton to take Sima Qian to a place where he could go online and print out the information that Wu Hao would send.
After Xiao Yunhai finished dealing with everything, Li Xuanwu and Kree came to Xiao Yunhai.
Kree said with a sad face, "My brother, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have brought you here."
Li Xuanwu said, "Yunhai, why don't you lie and say that you have urgent matters to attend to in China and avoid this competition? Losing face is better than losing so much money. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Brother Xuanwu, Kree, if you believe me, you must bet on me later. Bet as much as you have. I guarantee that you'll make a lot of money. "
Li Xuanwu asked in surprise, "You're so sure that you'll win?"
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "Of course."
Kree said, "Okay, I believe you."
Li Xuanwu looked at Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "I believe you too."
An hour later, all the preparations were completed.
Xiao Yunhai knew that Thomas wanted to bet with him, so he asked for an exorbitant price. He used 500 million US dollars in exchange for 15% of Magic City's shares and 11 patents that Wu Hao needed the most. It could be said that he got a great deal.
Although Thomas's butler tried to persuade Thomas, it didn't work.
Thomas believed that Xiao Yunhai would never win, so he didn't care too much about whether he was at a disadvantage. In any case, everything would be back in a while.
Under the witness of both sides' lawyers, the two signed the contract.
After both sides signed, Thomas blew at the contract and said proudly, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for giving me 500 million US dollars. Miss Zhao, your husband is going to be a pauper soon. Why don't you follow me from now on? Don't worry, I'll let you enjoy a lifetime of wealth. "
Zhao Wanqing snorted and said, "You'd better think about yourself. If you lose, you'll have to sleep on the street. "
Thomas laughed and said, "Do you think I'll lose? I am very familiar with every fighter here. Based on their abilities, they are no match for the three of us. Haha, Mr. Xiao, I really want to know, who are you going to send out? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and turned to Gao Xiangfeng and said, "Old Gao, you should do it."
Meng Fang and Song Yunfeng's kung fu had not reached the Transcendent Realm. Although they had a high chance of winning, overall, they were not as confident as Gao Xiangfeng. Therefore, Yunhai chose him to fight.
Gao Xiangfeng said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, I'll win."
Xiao Yunhai moved closer to his ear and said in a low voice: "It's best if you can achieve a difficult victory during the competition. If you beat your opponent in one go, I'm afraid he'll back out. "
Gao Xiangfeng nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Gao Xiangfeng and said to Thomas, "This is my bodyguard, let him go."
Thomas looked at the tall and ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he burst into a crazy laughter.
He said breathlessly, "Is there something wrong with my ears? You let him go. Hahaha. Why don't I help you go to the organizer and choose a better one? "
Kree originally thought that Xiao Yunhai had some trump card, but it turned out to be a forty-year-old Gao Xiangfeng. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly at Li Xuanwu. "It's over, my twenty million dollars is going to be lost."
Li Xuanwu looked at the cold and steady Gao Xiangfeng and murmured, "That's not necessarily the case."
Li Xuanwu was able to become an international action star because he knew some kung fu. Although he was far from being comparable to Xiao Yunhai, he had reached the Obvious Strength stage.
Although he couldn't see how good Gao Xiangfeng's kung fu was, since Xiao Yunhai dared to let him fight, it meant that this person should be very powerful.
Unlike Kree, Li Xuanwu didn't think that a big and muscular body would definitely win. Hua Xia's martial arts focused on both internal and external cultivation. It couldn't be seen from the outside.
