Outside the dilapidated factory, it rained all the time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After Xie Xiaoke explained everything, Li Qiwei and Smith left, and Li Yanting was the only one left by his side.

Liang En stood next to the window, looking at the rain outside the window, and didn't speak for 5 minutes, Li Yanting has always been a talker, but now she can be silent for so long, Xie Xiaoke was a little surprised that she was a ghost, and turned to look at her incredibly.

Li Yanting actually didn't dare to ask what she wanted, so she kept being in a daze, and when she saw Xie Xiaoke staring at herself, she said a little embarrassedly: "What's the matter, keep looking at me?"

Xie Xiaoke said to her in a very firm tone: "It's rare to see you so silent, do you have any thoughts?"

Li Yanting nodded: "Yes, I want to know how long you plan to stay here now and return to China!"

"It's really hard to say, I'm afraid it's not this what you want to ask!" Xie Xiaoke guessed Li Yanting's mind at a glance.

"It's true that I'm a little scared now, your goals and thoughts are getting bigger and bigger, and you always feel... I always think it's too abrupt, do you know how big Columbia's graduation film company is, I'm afraid there are no more than 3 companies in the world that can compare with it, isn't it too dangerous for us to go against him so rashly, it's too self-conscious!" Li Yanting finally couldn't help it, briefly explained the thoughts in her heart, and waited for Xie Xiaoke's reply.

Of course, she didn't want Xie Xiaoke to fail, but she felt that he would expand into a larger field every time he was now, and his ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, and she was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to rein in and end up bankrupt and regret it.

The expression on Xie Xiaoke's face was very relaxed: "It's okay, I'm not going to have a hard time with the Columbia company, I also have a plan, aren't I implementing the first step of the plan now, as long as it succeeds, we can grasp the vast majority of the situation within the Columbia company, as long as we master the best time, we are not afraid of not being able to defeat them, and you must know that it is impossible for me to let go of the company that refuses to cooperate with me, you don't have to persuade me to do this!"

Li Yanting was a little incomprehensible: "Isn't this too extreme?"

"No, from the moment they refused to cooperate with me, there was already a hostile relationship between us, to be precise, between the two film companies, either cooperation or competition, they chose the latter themselves, then of course I am respectful rather than obedient, and play with them to the end!" Xie Xiaoke looked out the window with his eyes level, and said his heart coldly.

At this time, the rain stopped, and the two people walked out of the factory and drove to the downtown area.

When Li Yanting heard Xie Xiaoke say this, she felt much more comfortable, and returned to a state of chatter and went to the casino with him.

......

After leaving the factory, Mr. Ridgway and Mr. Smith came to the door of the Columbia company.

Mr. Smith doesn't have much to do with the company here, but Ridgway is a well-known figure here, and it is very easy for him to meet anyone here, and basically the other party will not refuse.

Ridgway walked to the front desk, and the welcome lady and the reception staff greeted him very politely.

"Boss Li, you're here!"

"Well, come and see, where is Tom?" asked Ridgway.

"What about the office, do you have something to do with him?" asked the front desk.

Li Qiwei smiled slightly: "Yes, can you make an appointment for me, I have something very important to find him!"

"Okay!"

The front desk lady quickly contacted Tom, the deputy manager of the finance department of the Columbia company's headquarters office, and 10 minutes later, a black bald man walked out, he was wearing a suit, a discounted tie, a big belly, a graceful body, and a height of about 190, like a basketball mobilizer.

Next to Tom, the black man, was an Asian man, who didn't speak, but who worked in the finance department here was a Japanese man nine times out of ten.

"Hello Boss Li!" said Tom as he stretched out a hand.

Ridgway responded politely, stretching out his hand and shaking Tom: "Hello Tom!"

"Haha, it's been a long time, let me introduce you, this is my colleague and the main person in charge of our finance department, Osamu Sakurai!"

"Hello hello ......"

"Let's go sit over there, it's a little noisy here, I can't hear the talk!" Tom offered to invite them to the lounge area to sit down and talk.

The rest area is quite good, surrounded by greenery, a hundred flowers are blooming, and there are beautiful women sitting next to him drinking tea, Li Qiwei eyebrows at a little girl, people ignore him, and turn to Tom to talk about business.

"Actually, this time someone asked me to ask you to go to a dinner, I don't know what you think?"

Tom is not surprised, because of his position, basically the dinner is constant, and the Sakurai Osamu next to him said that he is here to assist, in fact, it is more appropriate to supervise Tom's work, every day all the power in the company is in the hands of Sakurai Osakura, and everything that is not technically will be handled by Tom, and the general manager of the finance department is also Japanese, so he basically no longer stays here.

Li Qiwei recalled what Xie Xiaoke said, you can invite two or three people over at the same time, since this Japanese took the initiative to come, then it is okay to invite him over together.

Tom smiled and asked first, "I don't know which boss it is?"

Ridgway: "It's Xie Xiaoke, a Chinese businessman who bought the Lady of Liberty Manor in Beverly Hills!"

As soon as these words came to an end, Tom and Osamu Sakurai immediately became uncomfortable, as if they had heard a ghost, and their faces sank suddenly.

Tom shook his head and said, "I will go back to whoever treats me, but Xie Xiaoke can't, because he is our enemy of Columbia Pictures, and he invited me to dinner, I'm afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar!"

Li Qiwei found that Xie Xiaoke's approach was indeed correct this time, even if he didn't sell Columbia now, people would have regarded him as an enemy a long time ago, so competition and even war between the two sides was only a matter of time.

But now it's troublesome, Tom doesn't agree, Sakurai Osamu hasn't spoken, let alone disagree, and they are all very hostile to Xie Xiaoke, so he can't be too friendly with Xie Xiaoke, if he forcibly pulls them away, I'm afraid he won't be able to fight the expected effect.

Therefore, Li Qiwei thought about it and said: "Of course I know, this Xie Xiaoke is now trying his best to win over the employees and signed artists of the Columbia Company to join his own company, and I don't know what his intentions are, he asked me to invite you over, I originally refused, but then I thought about it carefully, and I still came to tell you, you might as well go over and see if you can ask Xie Xiaoke what he wants to do!"
