The third day of the Lunar New Year.
There was a knock on the door.
Someone had come to his house for New Year's greetings.
And it was not an outsider. It was his second uncle, He Guo Fu.
Today, his second uncle's entire family had come. They were carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"Cousin, you're home too."
Seeing Chen Jin open the door, his son, He Hai Tao's eyes lit up. He smiled brightly and looked at Chen Jin with admiration.
After entering the house, he whispered in Chen Jin's ear, "Cousin, you're my idol now!"
The day before yesterday, when He Haitao went to visit his grandparents' house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Haitao had already met his cousin. He was so crowded that he couldn't even breathe. A large group of kids surrounded his cousin, asking for autographs, photos, and red packets. Those who didn't know better would have thought that some international superstar was meeting his fans.
Of course, He Hai Tao also got an autograph. He was the first one! How many people would be envious of him for getting the autograph of a future billionaire and a big shot in the technology industry?
He Hai Tao solemnly kept that autograph. It was worth at least a million dollars. It could even become a valuable cultural relic. It had to be kept for a long time.
He Hai Tao did not realize that his yelling and roaring that day were not any louder than the other kids.
On the day of the He family's New Year's greetings, the most eye-catching and in the limelight was naturally his aunt's family. They had become the focus of the He family.
The old man, He Chang Hou, was grinning from ear to ear. He pulled Chen Jin to sit beside him. After receiving the mysterious gift from Chen Jin and hearing the introduction of its functions in private, the old man was stunned. Suddenly, tears streamed down his face. "There's hope for our country to rise again!"
Chen Jin said, "Grandpa, you must live to be 100 years old and see the powerful and prosperous Z country."
"Good, good, good!" The old man repeatedly agreed.
Aunt He Jia, who had always been the focus of attention in the past, was completely invisible this year. She listened to her elder sister talk about her experiences in educating her son while keeping silent with a sullen face. The disappointment in her heart formed a shadow.
Another piece of good news was that his uncle, He Guo Qiang, had been promoted to the Deputy Mayor of Su Hong City … Because Ling Feng Jing Mi was building a second large-scale OEM factory in the industrial park of the district he was in charge of, he had pulled in billions of investments. This achievement made him valued by the higher-ups.
Therefore, First Uncle's face was glowing these days. His voice was much louder, and the worry between his brows had dissipated a lot.
In private, First Uncle pulled Chen Jin aside and said, "Chen Jin, that matter … it's all thanks to you. Thank you." He felt a lot more relaxed. To be able to enter the municipal committee before the age of 50 meant that his political career had a bright future.
Chen Jin smiled calmly.
…
Inside the house.
"Come on, come on. Why did you buy so many things? You're not an outsider. "He Hi took the things from Second Uncle's hands and rebuked him.
He Guo Fu looked at his wife and winked. "Sis, these are all very special specialties. You can't buy them on the market. I don't know how much effort Man Hong put in to buy them."
Second Aunt Lu Man Hong understood and said with a smile, "Sis, these things are not worth much, but they are nourishing, nourishing, and replenishing the blood. The effects are very good."
He Hi looked at her and nodded. "Thank you."
Lu Man Hong immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
…
Noon.
Under the joint efforts of He Hi and Second Aunt, lunch was extremely sumptuous. Chicken, duck, fish, and seafood from rivers and lakes filled the entire dining table.
The dishes were filled with all sorts of flavors.
Second Uncle, He Guo Fu, finally revealed the other purpose of his New Year's visit.
"Xiao Jin, leave the 'Wa-wah Robot' IP to me. My company's film production department will definitely be able to produce an even better sequel!"
Second Aunt could not help but say, "That's right, Xiao Jin. Keep the goodies within the family. Your uncle's company has produced eight TV series and five movies in the past few years. He has signed more than 80 artists and a mature team with rich experience. Why don't you leave the 'Wa-wah Robot' IP to your uncle?"
Uh …
Chen Jin muttered to himself and frowned.
"What's the matter, Xiao Jin? Is there a problem? Actually, there's no need to be troubled. It's normal to change partners. If it's inconvenient for you to tell them, I can do it, "He Guo Fu said.
Second Aunt added, "This is how business cooperation is. It only depends on who is more suitable and not the past … Your uncle is the most suitable person."
"No!"
Chen Jin shook his head. "Second Uncle, I really can't give you the 'Wa-wah Robot' IP. I don't feel at ease giving it to you. So … I'm very sorry."
This …
He Guo Fu was stunned by his straightforward rejection.
He could not compose himself for a moment and said with some emotion, "Why? Xiao Jin, when you were young, do you remember how much I doted on you? I couldn't bear to spend half a month's salary just to buy that set of Transformers toy that you liked so much. Have you forgotten? "
"Second Uncle, of course I remember how well you treated me. But don't you know the standard of your company's film production?"
Chen Jin shook his head. "Recently, the popular online TV series, 'Battle Break Mainland,' was produced by your company, right? What do you think about the quality? An emperor level fighter can't even catch up with a master fighter, and they're all riding horses? Do you think such a show is watchable? "
"Second Uncle, the brand image of Wa-wah Robot is very important. Its brand value far exceeds a movie with a box office of billions. We can't let the brand value of Wa-wah Robot be greatly reduced just for a little box office."
Therefore, he could only apologize.
He Hai Tao also ridiculed his father. "Dad, your company should just focus on advertising. Don't make films! 'Battle Break Mainland' is such a good novel, but you made it look like a battle horse. When people mention this to me, I want to dig a hole and hide in it. Dad, you're really not cut out for that. "
Lu Man Hong glared at him. How could he criticize his own father like this? I'll teach you a lesson when I get back.
"Cough, cough."
He Guo Fu coughed continuously. The emotion in his heart suddenly disappeared. What replaced it was embarrassment. He realized that he could not refute Chen Jin's words.
His son's ridicule made him blush. He could not say a word.
But to appease his second uncle, Chen Jin said that he could invest in the second sequel of "Wa-wah Robot." He could even send some technical staff to join Shi Xiao Tao's team to learn film production.
He Guo Fu's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll invest! 300 million! I want to invest 300 million! "
"This is not up to me. It depends on whether Shi Xiao Tao allows it or not. I can guarantee that you will invest 100 million at most," Chen Jin said.
Now, Shi Xiao Tao had become the hottest director in the country. Coupled with the IP of "Wa-wah Robot," there were countless investors scrambling to give her money. She did not have to worry about not being able to get investments. She even had to worry about whether she would offend some people if she rejected their investments.
Therefore, if his second uncle wanted to invest 300 million, Shi Xiao Tao would not be overjoyed. Instead, she would have a headache and be put in a difficult position.
"Okay, I'll invest 100 million first! If you can increase the subsequent investments, you must inform me first! "
"No problem."
…
After the New Year's greetings.
He walked downstairs.
Lu Man Hong's hand grabbed He Hai Tao's ear with lightning speed and twisted it forcefully. "You brat, how can you say that about your dad? Your dad and I doted on you for nothing! "
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong. Mom, I was wrong!" He Hai Tao begged for mercy.
"Could it be that … I'm really not cut out for the film industry?"
