Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 424 Solicitation from all directions
Jiahe Film Company.

Zhou Wenhe, one of the founders and chairman of the board, is chatting with the other two founders, He Guanchang and Liang Feng, about Minghua Entertainment's entry into Hollywood.

Ever since Bruce Lee, an international kung fu superstar, was trained, Zhou Wenhe has always wanted to replicate this success and let Jiahe go out of Hong Kong and into the world.

Seeing that Liu Tianwang's career is at a low point in his life, and he has the opportunity to go to the beautiful country to show his skills, Zhou Wenhe is deeply moved: "I really didn't expect that Liu Tianwang would go to Hollywood to develop in a blink of an eye."

But He Guanchang said: "Liu Tianwang is nothing, the important thing is his Minghua Entertainment, which must be treated with caution. They seem to have sufficient funds, and they may become a strong enemy for us."

Liang Feng didn't take it seriously, and said, "Money? It's just a new company. Making movies is not necessarily easy if you have money. What's more, is Hollywood so easy to enter? He has only achieved a little bit of success today, and his new company says he will go to Hollywood if he goes to Hollywood?"

Since its establishment, Jiahe Film Company has always wanted to enter Hollywood, and it has spent a lot of manpower and financial resources for this. However, it was not until 400 that it established a company, Orange Sky Jiahe, with a price of [-] million Hong Kong dollars. Become a shareholder of Hollywood Legendary Films, which has filmed well-known films such as "Inception", "The Dark Knight", "Superman Returns", "Clash of the Titans", and has a seat on the board of directors.

Zhou Wenhe also said: "I think what Mr. Liang said is right. With the size of our Golden Harvest company, how can he just go for something that we, a small company in the Mainland, can't do? You're making a big deal out of a molehill."

At this time, the people from the secretariat brought them today's newspaper.

The news that Lu Yiming, the big backer of Minghua Entertainment, has invested in a new film company in North America and invested 300 million US dollars to shoot a new movie was published in the newspaper.

The three of them looked dumbfounded.

Liang Feng scolded: "A new company that has not been established for a few days invests 300 million US dollars to make a movie? Ma De, the surname Lu, is crazy!?"

With the publication of the newspaper, the news spread in an instant.

The Xiangjiang entertainment circle, which was already full of excitement, became even more heated.

Money can really do whatever it wants!

For a time, there were so many people who wanted to join Minghua Entertainment, even the actors and entertainers under the old film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, all of them lost their minds and their morale was shaken.

This incident made Zhou Wenhe very upset.

"This is too fucked!"

He Guanchang sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid Xiangjiang Films will change the world."

Minghua Entertainment, which was originally not well-known, is now in the limelight, like the rising sun rising into the sky, announcing its own rise with an unstoppable momentum.

After several days of tossing and turning, Liu Tianwang finally came to the beautiful country.

At this moment, Lu Yiming, who was supposed to appear at the ACM International Academy Programming Contest, once again became the hands-off shopkeeper as expected, and ran to the airport to pick him up.

At the exit of the station, Liu Tianwang saw Lu Yiming at a glance, and walked quickly with his suitcase.

"Mr. Lu."

"Liu Tianwang."

The two hugged each other, and then Liu Tianwang smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, I'll tell you something interesting. I answered several calls right after I got off the plane. Many old friends asked me if Minghua Entertainment would accept shares. They are willing to give a high valuation."

After Lu Yiming heard it, he immediately joked, "Then I'm at a loss? If the company goes public, this news alone may cause the stock to go up a lot."

Liu Tianwang sighed and said, "Indeed, hey, what a pity."

After all, Ming Wah Entertainment is a company founded by Lu Yiming and Liu Tianwang. Liu Tianwang expressed his heartache for not making this money.

Even though he said so, in fact, Lu Yiming had no intention of accepting outside investment at all. After all, Minghua Entertainment is developing very well now, and Lu Yiming has no shortage of funds, so naturally he doesn't want multiple shareholders to come in and point fingers.

"Let's go, first go meet my partner, the titular boss of Suqiao Films."

Lu Yiming brought Liu Tianwang and Li Xiaolin to a Cadillac, opened the trunk and helped them put their luggage in.

Lu Yiming drove the two of them to Suqiao Films.Both Su Zhenge and Qiao Ke were very excited to see Liu Tianwang.

Su Zhenge said: "Liu Tianwang, I am your fan, I have every album of yours!"

Although they are far away in a foreign country, Su Zhenge and his generation still prefer oriental culture in their hearts.

After all, it is only the second generation, and has not been completely assimilated by the Western culture of the beautiful country, so the movies I like to watch are mostly Xiangjiang movies, especially the movies made by famous Hong Kong movie stars such as Fa Ge, Long Ge, Jet Li and Andy Lau. It is even more popular in Chinatown.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Good guy, then you are a real fan, why don't you sign Liu Tianwang quickly?"

Liu Tianwang immediately said: "I'll let people in China mail a whole set of collector's editions later, and it won't be too late to sign them at that time."

He looked around and looked at the tall buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Mr. Lu, when do you think our Minghua Entertainment will set up an office space like this?"

Lu Yiming said, "Anytime."

Su Zhenge immediately grasped the point, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Lu, Tianwang Liu, did you establish Minghua Entertainment together?"

"Yeah, look at this name, didn't each of us take a word?"

Joke hurriedly asked, "Does your company accept financing?"

Su Zhenge was in a good mood, because he finally confirmed that Lu Yiming's optimism about the future of the film industry was true, not just talk. After all, he spent a large sum of money to open a film company all at once, so it couldn't be for the sake of losing money, right?
"Yes, yes, do you want me to ask some buddies to invest in your company again?"

Lu Yiming refused bluntly: "Forget it, Minghua Entertainment mainly targets the mainland market, and has already made preparations for not being able to make a profit for six to seven years, so it will not accept financing for the time being, so as not to be blamed by you for not being able to make money."

Regarding Lu Yiming's words, Su Zhenge didn't even believe the punctuation marks: "Impossible! With your ability, Brother Lu, how could it be possible that you can't make money?"

Joke also deeply agrees: "That is to say, you can't be too humble in life."

Lu Yiming was speechless, but he still didn't let go of the matter of buying shares.

He looked at his watch, and then said: "I will leave it to you, Liu Tianwang. The director and the script have also been done for you, and the next thing will be left to you. I have to go back to participate in the competition. "

"No problem." Jock gave an OK gesture and said, "You can go at ease."

Lu Yiming immediately realized the huge cultural differences between China and the United States.

Back in Seattle, as soon as he walked into the hotel, Lu Yiming saw Gong Wei and the others sitting in the rest area, and asked with a smile, "Ah, why are you sitting here? Is the game over?"

Gong Wei said with a sullen expression, "This morning just ended."

Lu Yiming asked straightforwardly: "How is it? You have lived up to my expectations, have you?"

Seeing that Lu Yiming was still here with a playful smile on his face, Gong Wei was furious: "You have the nerve to ask, but you just ran away at the critical moment. Fortunately, we won the championship, otherwise it would be your fault."

Lu Yiming laughed: "Calm down, don't be too irritable. With your strength and the 'killer' that I left behind, isn't it a matter of course to win the championship? There is nothing to make a fuss about. Look at what you did just now, it made me think Something went wrong."

Although he was still very upset, Gong Wei couldn't refute it. After all, they were able to win the championship because of Lu Yiming's efforts.It's just that at the critical moment, Lu Yiming ran outside and left the burden of winning the championship to him. Gong Wei really became more and more angry.

Seeing this, Lu Yiming said grandly: "Oh, don't worry about these details. In that case, the bonus will be divided among you, and I will treat you to a big meal. Is that all right?"

The prize money for the champion of the ACM International Academy Programming Contest is 1 U.S. dollars, equivalent to nearly 10 yuan in RMB.This is a huge sum of money, no matter in the beautiful country or the Xia country, you can buy a house!

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Gong Wei immediately relaxed, and asked, "You really don't want this money?"

Zhou Zhiming curled his lips and said, "Lu Yiming is worth billions, do you think he is worth 10 yuan?"

Gong Wei patted his forehead immediately, and said, "Damn, I almost forgot that you are a big capitalist, okay, then we will not be polite to you."

Zhou Zhiming said: "After the competition, Google, Yahoo and other companies contacted us, promising us a good salary as soon as we entered. Microsoft even offered us an annual salary of [-] US dollars. Lu Yiming, what do you think?"

Nowadays, Internet companies like Google and Yahoo are in the stage of barbaric growth. Both the capital market and the company's interior are very crazy.They are winning the limelight, and countless geniuses have sharpened their heads to get into it. Even outstanding students who graduated from prestigious schools may not be able to get offers from these companies.Therefore, several people were very excited when they received the olive branches thrown by these big companies, and felt that they were about to make a fortune.

However, when these words were heard in Lu Yiming's ears, Lu Yiming scorned them.

He said with a look of disgust: "Do you want to work for others for the rest of your life, or become your own boss and become a rich man?"

Gong Wei is a smart person. He immediately heard that Lu Yiming planned to recruit him, and immediately said with contempt: "Isn't working for you also a part-time job? What's the difference?"

Although the conspiracy was exposed sharply, Lu Yiming did not panic, and even said brazenly: "Then how can it be the same? You come to work under me, it is to accumulate successful experience, and when you have enough experience, Now that you can be on your own, wouldn’t it be better for you to go out and start a business? And I can be your angel investor at that time.”

This is of course the truth, but to put it bluntly, it is just a picture of a cake, and most of it is deceitful.

But Gong Wei also knew that if he went abroad to work for a foreigner, the income would be the same, but under Lu Yiming's hands, he felt that he could learn a lot.

So after a little hesitation, Gong Wei agreed to accept Lu Yiming's solicitation.

As for Zheng Nanling and Zhou Zhiming, the two of them have long been "insiders".

In the hotel suite, Chen Guoliang and Long Qiquan were chatting about the ACM International Academy Programming Contest, because the teams from Pengcheng University and Furi University were so mediocre that they became brothers and sisters.

Chen Guoliang said enviously: "Professor Long, you are fine. One of the players in the team that won the championship is your student. Our Pengcheng University can be said to be completely annihilated this time, and none of the teams that entered the top [-] will win the championship." No, alas."

However, Long Qiquan was not happy. Instead, he looked at Bai Zihao, who was standing anxiously, with a dark face, and his eyes were not friendly.

If Bai Zihao hadn't ruled out dissidents, how could Zheng Nanling have teamed up with outsiders?

Facts have proved that in Furi University's representative team, there is no one whose skill is as good as Zheng Nanling's.

But it was useless to say these things now, and there were outsiders present, so Long Qiquan naturally didn't say anything.

After that, the two talked about Lu Yiming again.Chen Guoliang said: "That Lu Yiming is really good. He won the championship in the individual competition before, and now he also won the championship in the team competition. The most important thing is that I heard that he is still in high school, and it was Bill Gates himself. I was invited to participate by phone. It’s a shame that foreigners discovered such a top talent before us.”

Chen Guoliang didn't think too much about it, but Long Qiquan was thinking about recruiting Lu Yiming into Furi University, and felt that it would be sooner rather than later to contact Lu Yiming before Chen Guoliang went to find Lu Yiming.

"Yeah, I'm really ashamed. Fortunately, he is also representing our country in the competition now. Now that he has won the championship, the honor is still ours."

Long Qiquan got up and said: "Okay, it's useless to say these things, I'll go to my side first. Pack up and go back to the country together."

"it is good."

Leaving the room, Long Qiquan couldn't wait to run to find Lu Yiming, but on the way to Lu Yiming's room, he ran into an acquaintance - Zhu Jun, the leading teacher of Shuimu University.

"Hey, isn't this Professor Zhu? Where are you going?"

Zhu Jun was called by Long Qiquan's name, his body stiffened involuntarily, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural, and he said, "Ah, I'm going to find one of my students. What about you, Professor Long, where are you going?"

Long Qiquan was slightly taken aback, and said, "Ah, I'm also looking for my student."

"That's a coincidence."

"Yeah yeah."

"then you go."

"Okay, then don't bother me."

The two separated and left through different corridors.

A few minutes later, the two met again, face to face.

In an instant, the air seemed to be frozen, and the expressions of both of them were a little embarrassed. They still didn't understand that everyone's intentions had crashed.

"Are you here to look for Lu Yiming?"

"You too?"
