Xiao Yunhai naturally didn't know about Kestel and Hanks' conspiracy. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Just like the Magic City back then, all the employees who left when the Magic City was in crisis now regretted it.
According to Daniel, he received a lot of applications hoping to enter the Magic City company again, but they were all mercilessly rejected by Xiao Yunhai.
Towards these people who betrayed the company, Xiao Yunhai absolutely wouldn't give them any chance.
Now that Marvel Comics had stood up again, the salary of the employees was one of the best in the industry. Xiao Yunhai was also going to give them a huge bonus in July. If they still left, it would be best to leave as much as possible.
Xiao Yunhai really didn't care about such employees.
In a high-end cafe near the Dolby Theater, Xiao Yunhai sat in front of the window, listening to soft music while quietly looking at the endless flow of cars and people outside.
Tomorrow was the Hollywood Oscar Awards Ceremony. Stars from all over the world had booked nearby hotels. In less than ten minutes, Xiao Yunhai saw several European and American stars.
It had to be said that although Hua Xia movies rose very quickly, and there was also the Jinzun International Film Festival, it was still far from being comparable to the Oscars.
The most intuitive thing was that the value of the actors who won the Jinzun Film Festival was limited. Hollywood didn't even recognize Hua Xia Jinzun. Once they won the Oscars, it was different. Their popularity and value would be greatly increased, and it was useful in countries all over the world, including Hua Xia.
As a result, the entertainment industry would naturally pay more attention to the Oscars.
"Hua Xia movies still have a long way to go."
Just as his thoughts were flying, a soft voice sounded in his ear.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry I'm late."
Xiao Yunhai turned his head and saw a middle-aged British woman in her fifties with glasses looking at him with a smile.
Xiao Yunhai quickly stood up and said with a smile, "It's me who came earlier because I had nothing to do. Ms. Christy, nice to meet you. "
Isabelle Christy said, "I'm also happy to meet a legend like you."
After the two of them sat down, Isabelle Christy asked the waiter for a cup of coffee and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for accommodating me by meeting me at the café. I heard that you're only interested in Hua Xia's tea. "
Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "You know my hobby?"
Isabelle Christie smiled and said, "As long as it's a famous company or businessman in the world, our team will do a detailed investigation. Mr Xiao is one of the top 20 billionaires in the world. Of course, we have to get to know him better. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "A professional business team is indeed different. Madam Christy, how did you write about me in your investigation report? Don't tell me the conclusion is' stupid '? I heard that I'm a famous idiot on Wall Street. "
Christy could not help chuckling when she heard Xiao Yunhai's self-deprecating words, thinking that the rumors were right. The billionaire in front of her was indeed a humorous and witty person. He did not put on any airs when he spoke, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. It might be a good choice to work with a billionaire like him.
With that in mind, Christy said, "Mr Xiao, if you're a big idiot, then there's probably no smart person in the world. Anyone who says you're stupid is the real idiot. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Your words warmed my heart."
Christy continued, "However, the wealth you've earned is all because of your sharp foresight. The businesses you've invested in have never gone wrong. Whether it's Magic City, Fantasia, Marvel, Yun Yi, Jiujiu, Cinemas, they've all brought you enormous wealth, but it's obvious that you haven't fully utilized the money. In other words, you don't know how to make money with money? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. That's why I found you after being introduced by a friend. Madam Christy, would you be willing to be my economic consultant? "
Christy said, "If you weren't willing, I wouldn't be wasting my time here. I hope that we can talk openly and honestly. I need to fully understand your financial situation. It's best if you don't hide anything from me so that it doesn't affect my judgment. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course."
Christy asked, "How many assets do you own now?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "I own 49% of Yun Yi Shopping Network, 20.5% of Jiujiu Music Network, 30% of New Hua Xia Cinemas, 100% of Magic Visual Effects and Marvel Comics, 95% of Fantasia Special Effects, and the rest are North American cinemas, including MGM Grand, Paramount, Disney, and so on. I can't remember exactly how many shares I own."
"You can't remember?"
Christy almost splashed the coffee on his face when she heard the last answer.
What kind of joke was this?
That was North American cinemas. One percent of the total would be over a hundred million or even a billion USD. Xiao Yunhai actually could not remember. How insensitive must he be to treat money like dirt?
Christy resisted the urge to beat up Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, since you've forgotten how many shares you own, you shouldn't be too clear about the total amount of your assets, right?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded awkwardly and said, "I only know that it's over three hundred billion USD. I haven't calculated the exact amount. "
Christy said in annoyance, "That was last month's Time Magazine's ranking for you. However, it's comforting that you've at least read the magazine. "
Xiao Yunhai gulped and said, "Can I say that it was my wife who told me?"
Christy felt like her outlook on life was about to be destroyed. She looked furious and said, "Mr. Xiao, I want to know if you've been paying attention to your company?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I think professional matters should be left to the professionals. That's why I rarely go to the company. "
Christy was suddenly speechless. "Then, Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by 'rarely'? How many times have you been to Yun Yi Shopping Network that's still skyrocketing in market value? "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and held up two fingers.
Christy exclaimed, "Oh my god. You've only been to a large company with a market value of one hundred and sixty billion USD only twenty times. That's unbelievable. "
Xiao Yun Hai's face was flushed red, and he said: "Not twenty times, but two times."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Christy choked on Xiao Yunhai's words. As she coughed, she looked at him in disbelief.
After a while, she heaved a long sigh and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have to say that your achievements today are a miracle of miracles. You should know your monthly income, right? "
Xiao Yunhai was about to go crazy from Christy's questions. "Madam Christy, please don't ask anymore. I only know that, excluding Magic City and Marvel, my income last month was twelve billion USD. I'm not sure about anything else. I don't even know how much money I have in the bank. Give me a moment, I'll give my wife a call and get her to tell you. Is that okay? "
Christie waved her hand and said, "There is no need. I can get my team to investigate this. Mr. Xiao, Wall Street has been saying that your loan from the bank is only thirty billion USD. Is that right? "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, "No. I still have some money. I've also made some money. Now, it should be more than 25 billion. I think I'll be able to pay it all back in less than two years. "
"No." Christy did not have any expectations for Xiao Yunhai, who had no business knowledge. "Mr. Xiao, don't you think it's a pity to return so much money to the bank?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "But I don't lack money. I feel uncomfortable owing people money."
Christy said, "Do you know how much the Steer Company owes the bank? A total of six hundred billion. They used the money to continuously invest and set up companies. Their wealth snowballed and finally became one of the largest companies in the United States. Mr. Xiao, I think you should bring this money back to life and not let it die in the bank. With your current wealth, the money in the bank is a piece of waste paper. "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, "Madam Christy, if you were my economic advisor, what would you do?"
Christy said, "Consolidate our wealth and set up an investment company. No matter what industry it is, as long as it's profitable, we can invest. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Then what industries do you think will have more room for appreciation in the future?"
Christy said, "Oil, natural gas, games, entertainment, electronics, cars, cosmetics, real estate, etc."
