Chapter 210: The Gambling Contract
Faced with the fall of peers and business rivals, the real taste turmoil not only did not fade with time, but on the contrary, it has a tendency to intensify, and many foreign media have heard about it.
Zhou Zhenye and his son were very troubled by this, they could no longer care about how good the fake taste business was, and it would be thankful that they could put down this incident as soon as possible.
Through some operations, all the blame was put on the branch owner, among whom Wang Kang was the worst, because the branch he was in charge of not only found Sudan dyes, but also found poppy husk powder.
He did not admit that poppy husk powder was related to him. But he couldn't find evidence to prove his innocence, so he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
At the celebration banquet of the crew of "Love of People and Foxes", Li Yan met Xiao Mo, the boss of Xinghan Film and Television, one is an upstart in the business world, and the other is the heir of an old family, and the two have a lot of topics to talk about.
While laughing, the two talked about what happened during this time, Xiao Mo cast a look of implicit meaning and said: "Now everyone is saying in private that Li Dong is a master of playing tricks. Many old-timers in the business world admire you. ”
Li Yan was stunned, how could he make himself look like a scheming who was good at playing with conspiracy?
Although the real taste has fallen to this step, part of the reason is him, but he can't take all the responsibility on his head, at most he provoked the war. There are many people who hide in the shadows and add fuel to the fire.
"Mr. Xiao don't say that, he doesn't do bad things on weekdays, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, if he is fine, no one can help him. What does it have to do with me. Li Yan said righteously.
Xiao Mo only believed half of this at most, although the Xiao family was at the bottom of the four major families, the network was also all over various departments, and the Health Bureau also had people from the Xiao family.
He found someone to investigate, it was He Yutian who used the relationship of the He family to fire the first shot at Zhenwei, and the "enthusiastic people" who reported Zhenwei's use of chemical additives were clearly Guo Tianhao's younger brothers.
Neither of these two people is in direct conflict with True Taste, and it is unlikely that they will go against True Taste for no reason, there is only one reason, that is, someone instructed them to do this, and this person is obviously Li Yan.
No matter what the facts are, the Xiao family and the Zhou family have no friendship, of course Xiao Mo will not offend Li Yan for this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "I heard that the fake taste restaurant has opened a branch, is Li Dong going to show his strength in the catering industry?"
"I don't dare to be it, it's just a small fight, I open a restaurant by myself, and if I want to invite friends to dinner or something in the future, I am more at ease. Don't worry about things like food safety. Li Yan smiled faintly.
"Maybe Dong Li doesn't know much about our Xiao family, among the four major families in Funing, they involve all walks of life, but in terms of agriculture, our Xiao family thinks that it is second, and no one dares to recognize it first, Zilin Restaurant also has a cooperative relationship with us, I wonder if Li Dong is interested?" Xiao Mo said with a smile.
Among the four major families, Li Yan has dealt with the He family, the Gao family and the Cao family, and has some understanding of the situation of these three families.
With a silent face, Li Yan asked, "I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Xiao refers to?"
"Nature is the food supply. Xiao Mo said proudly: "Zilin Restaurant has their own vegetable garden, the quality of the fruits and vegetables cultivated is the best, but the supply is very limited, the next is our Xiao family's organic vegetables, not only high quality, but also the yield is not low, many high-end restaurants and hotels are purchased from the Xiao family." ”
Li Yan doesn't know this very well, and many restaurants have confidential purchase channels. He didn't deliberately ask anyone to inquire, but he didn't expect that the Xiao family, one of the four major families, was so good at agriculture.
Li Yan was about to ask more questions about ingredients, when Gu Tong and a few actors came over and sent Xiaobai back to his arms.
"The little fox is too picky to feed it and refuses to eat anything, and we really can't do anything about it. Gu Tong said helplessly.
Xiao Bai blinked a pair of big eyes, put his two front paws on his shoulders, and looked at everything around him curiously.
Li Yan smiled embarrassedly: "I usually spoil it too much, and I keep my mouth dirty, and it is difficult for ordinary food to get into its eyes." ”
Xiao Mo was also very curious about the little fox, leaned over to look at it, and said in surprise: "This little fox must have a very high IQ, how do I think its eyes are very human." ”
Put Xiaobai on the ground, Li Yan didn't want others to discover its abnormality, in case it attracted the attention of some special departments, it would be over if he caught it for research.
"People often say that they are as cunning as foxes, and foxes are very intelligent animals. Li Yan snorted and said.
Gu Tong on the side also agreed: "Some animals have been trained, and they are even more obedient than children, and my neighbor used to have a local dog, and he also knew how to carry a vegetable basket to buy vegetables on the street!"
Xiao Mo was happy when he saw Hunting Heart, rubbed his hands and said, "I want to have a pet when you tell me." ”
As a wealthy family with his own film and television company, Xiao Mo naturally became the focus of attention of the audience, and soon there were many people around him.
It wasn't just the cast and crew who attended the celebration banquet. Some film and television stars with good relationships will also come to congratulate, and most of the people around Xiao Mo are young and beautiful actresses.
This is the treatment that the CEO of a film and television company can enjoy, the goddess in the eyes of ordinary people, she has to lower her posture in front of the boss, find a way to please, and try her best to win the opportunity to perform.
This is the case in the entertainment industry, except for a few such as the heroine Jiang Ailing, who have rich people behind her, and have accumulated a certain amount of fame, so you can be a little tougher, otherwise you have to grovel and smile in the face of investors.
Li Yan only greeted a few familiar actors such as Guo Yanqiu, and several people formed a small group to chat together.
At this time, a middle-aged man in formal clothes walked towards Xiao Mo with a wine glass, and the rest of the actresses saw it and took the initiative to back away.
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on the success of the love of the fox and the fox. ”
The middle-aged man raised his glass, gestured to Xiao Mo in the air, and raised his head to drink most of the wine.
Xiao Mo also drank the wine in his hand, and said with a slight meaning: "I'm sorry Mr. Tang, I won the bet this time, with your identity and qualifications, you won't be willing to gamble and not admit defeat, right?"
"Of course not, since the bet was made beforehand. Of course I will comply. Tang Yaowen smiled disappreciatively and said: "The number of hits exceeded 100 million in just one day, which is really beyond my expectations. ”
"Whether it's dangerous or not, facts speak louder than words, and after all, I won. Xiao Mo smiled.
Hearing the two of them arguing, Li Yan frowned, and asked Gu Tong next to him, "What is the origin of this soup?" Why doesn't it look like you're on the right path with Mr. Xiao?"
Gu Tong lowered his voice and said: "Tang is always the second largest shareholder of our company, holding 20% of the shares, before the filming of the Love of the Fox, he has always opposed this script, thinking that the story is old-fashioned and has no new ideas, and it is difficult to be accepted by the audience, and Mr. Xiao insisted on filming, the two sides were deadlocked, and finally made a bet, if the Love of the Fox is broadcast, the number of hits can exceed 70 million within 24 hours, even if Mr. Xiao wins, otherwise Mr. Tang wins, and the loser must sell the shares to the winner according to the market price." ”
Li Yan nodded clearly, and now it seems. It was Xiao Mo who won the game, and he won by a clear margin.
According to statistics, the number of views on the first episode of Love of Foxes was nearly 110 million, which was a lot higher than the expected 70 million.
Of course, it is not excluded that there is a possibility of fraudulent clicks, and now within a few days of the launch of some TV series, the number of hits on the Internet is claimed to be billions or even tens of billions, making it seem that netizens all over the world are chasing dramas.
In fact, Li Yan is also skeptical about the number of hits of "Love of People and Foxes". Whether it's true or not.
After all, there are more than 700 million netizens in China, and more than 100 million hits on the Internet, indicating that about one out of seven netizens watches the TV series "Love of People and Foxes", which is quite a high proportion.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask such a question in front of everyone, even if the clicks were fake, it was none of his business.
Li Yan didn't know Xiao Mo's personality, but Tang Yaowen knew that he was a very proud person, and it was impossible to fake for the gambling contract, and the credibility of more than 100 million clicks was not low.
In addition to the appeal of the hero and heroine, the animal star Xiaobai is the key driving force for the success of "The Love of the Human Fox", and many viewers clicked on this little fox.
If Xiaobai is just an ordinary fox, it is nothing, and it is not uncommon to shoot film and television dramas with animals.
The problem is that during the filming, it defeated the karate masters of the island nation who came to provoke, and to some extent maintained the reputation of the motherland.
