"Teacher Wang, sit down. What to drink?" Zhong Nanqiao asked as he led Wang Yong to his seat.

"Either way. Who is this?" Wang Yong looked at the middle-aged woman suspiciously.

"Oh, I'll introduce. This lady's name is Deng Xuedi, a Chinese who came to the United States very early to develop, and her industry is very large. "Zhongnan Bridge Road.

Wang Yong stretched out his hand: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

The middle-aged woman's hand stirring the coffee didn't stretch out in the slightest, just nodded.

Wang Yong couldn't help frowning.

Even Zhong Nanqiao's face sank, and he was a little unhappy.

"Mr. Wang, I came to the United States this time to talk about a project. But I happened to watch the pilot film of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and I remembered that it seems that you mentioned investment to Zhongyi?" Zhong Nanqiao asked Wang Yong.

Wang Yong replied: "Yes." When Zhong said that she didn't have much money, I was embarrassed to mention it again. ”

Although Zhong Yi has now begun to gradually accept the Zhong family's enterprises, the real power of the Zhong family is still in the hands of Zhong Nanqiao. The amount of money that can be mobilized is limited.

"Then Mr. Wang still needs funds now? I have some understanding of film production, judging from the pilot film you announced, I am afraid that the figures you have previously announced to the public cannot support the completion of the filming of the entire film. ”

"That's right. Originally, we raised about $200 million, but now that the pilot has come out, the amount has risen a lot. It is estimated that it will take 350 million to complete, and there is indeed a large funding gap. Wang Yong happily admitted.

"350 million, this is a super-large production in the world, right?" Zhong Nanqiao was a little surprised.

"Should be able to break into the top 10 in the world. My principle is: do your best. It's like teaching and it's like making movies. The original intention of the filming of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is to show the original Chinese culture to foreign audiences, if it is perfunctory, I am afraid that not only will it not play a propaganda role, but it will be self-defeating. ”

"This is also what I admire about Mr. Wang. The heart is under your hands, both grades and life have made great progress, and I, as a father, cannot be rewarded. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind, I can help solve part of the funding gap, and about 80 million is not a problem. Zhong Nanqiao said with a smile.

Eighty million dollars, not much, but definitely not less. In this day and age, cash flow is the most rare thing. Many large companies often claim to have a market value of tens of billions or hundreds of billions, but the cash flow on the company's books may not even have a few tenths, and even if this money is not something that can be misappropriated casually. Because this money also supports the financial operation of the entire company.

Zhong Nanqiao was able to come up with 80 million US dollars, which already shows his sincerity.

Wang Yonggang wanted to express his gratitude, but Deng Xuedi suddenly pulled Zhong Nanqiao and said, "Nanqiao, don't be deceived." $80 million is not a small amount, so how can it be easily voted for to a person who does not know the roots? You must know that there are many financial giants in Huaxia, just like the troublesome Jia ...... in the city some time ago What is Jia to ......"

"Jia Yueting. Wang Yong reminded. "But Ms. Deng is a little mistaken, the one who cheated the money is not a Chinese, but a yellow-skinned American like you. ”

"You ......" Deng Xuedi's face changed. Don't think that I haven't investigated you, aren't you just a poor teacher? But you're pitiful, you don't have any upper-class friends, so you can only hit the student's parents with the idea......"

"Xuedi, don't say it!" Zhong Nanqiao was a little annoyed and scolded.

But Deng Xuedi didn't mean to stop at all, and mocked Wang Yong like a long-tongued woman.

At this time, Wang Yong's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Wang Yong glanced at the caller ID, suddenly smiled, and connected.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"The pilot is good, and if the follow-up remains at the same level, the film will not lose money. A nice woman's voice came from the other side.

"Big sister, your confidence in me is just not a loss? I think this movie can make at least billions of dollars. For the sake of these billions, why don't you invest more?"

"I'm sorry, the signal on my side is not very good, what did you just say?" said the woman on the other end of the phone, this tone appeared in her mouth, which was really a bit rare.

"No righteousness! It's a good couple, although it's an unmarried couple...... Wang Yong couldn't help but complain.

"I'll hang up if you do this again. ”

"Don't! Greet a friend for me before hanging. Wang Yong said, turned on the hands-free and put the phone in front of Deng Xuedi.

"Who?" Deng Xuedi asked with a disgusted frown.

Wang Yong didn't answer, but the woman on the phone replied: "I'm Ziyu Fengqing." Who are you?"

"What? Ziyu ...... Feng Qing?!" Deng Xuedi was obviously frightened by the name.

Then Deng Xuedi put on a flattering smile and said, "I'm Deng Xuedi, hello Miss Ziyu." Nice to meet you!"

Silence, silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

Deng Xuedi's smile was slightly stiff, but he was still trying to maintain it.

Finally, Ziyu Fengqing spoke: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Toot toot, the call was hung up directly.

Deng Xuedi's smile slowly disappeared, leaving only endless embarrassment written on his face.

Wang Yong smiled and took back his mobile phone and asked, "Who said I didn't have upperclass friends just now?"

Deng Xuedi snorted heavily, not daring to make a sound.

Zhong Nanqiao looked at this scene, and just shook his head, without the slightest intention of speaking for Deng Xuedi.

In fact, Wang Yong has long seen that the relationship between Deng Xuedi and Zhong Nanqiao is extraordinary, and it is likely that Zhong Nanqiao is the stepmother that Zhong Nanqiao booked for Zhong Xin's two sisters.

However, Wang Yong is not optimistic about this stepmother at all, with Zhong Xin's character, it would be hellish if he could accept people like Deng Xuedi!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. Xuedi lives abroad all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the domestic people, so please don't take it to heart. In this way, you give me an account number, and I will immediately ask people to send 80 million funds. You just said that you are confident to make billions, but I can't wait, haha!" Zhong Nanqiao deliberately diverted the topic.

"Let's go through the contract process, lest someone say I'm a liar. I'll send you the contact information of the legal department later, and you can discuss. It's getting dark, why don't you have a light meal? I heard that the upper class drinking bureau spends most of the time drinking, and there is no chance to eat. Wang Yong glanced at Deng Xuedi and said.

Zhong Nanqiao waved his hand: "No." ”

"Hey, by the way, why don't you come with us, Mr. Wang? Even if you add my 80 million US dollars, you still have a gap of 70 million! There are a lot of big bosses at my banquet, maybe they are very interested?" Zhong Nanqiao's eyes lit up and he said.

"I'm against it! How could he go to that kind of occasion?" Before Wang Yong could speak, Deng Xuedi suddenly jumped out and shouted.

The whole café was so disgusted that the guests of the whole café looked at it.

"You be quiet!" Zhong Nanqiao said dissatisfiedly. "Mr. Wang is also a world-renowned scholar now, why is he not qualified to go?"

"What kind of well-known scholar, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a high-level drama? You took him there, what if you make those bigwigs unhappy? Who is responsible?" Deng Xuedi retorted fiercely.

Originally, Wang Yong planned to refuse, but he was not interested in this kind of banquet at all. But seeing Deng Xuedi with such a face, Wang Yong couldn't help but chuckle.

Okay, I'm going to see what the so-called upper-class people are like!

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Wang Yong said.

"Shameless!" Deng Xuedi couldn't help but tremble with anger when he heard that Wang Yong actually agreed.

Zhong Nanqiao was happy, settled the bill for coffee, and pulled Wang Yong to walk outside.

Along the way, Deng Xuedi's face was full of resentment, and what made her even more angry was that Wang Yong deliberately asked Zhong Nanqiao some questions about social etiquette.

For example, can red wine be stuffy, can the food at the banquet be eaten casually, whether there are chopsticks at the banquet, etc.

These questions all highlight Wang Yong's hillbilly temperament, which makes Deng Xuedi eager to throw Wang Yong out of the car, so as not to lose their face at that time.

It's a pity that until he arrived at the banquet venue, Deng Xuedi couldn't muster up the courage to do anything to Wang Yong.

"Here it is. This banquet is a relatively private banquet, so the number of people is not large. Zhong Nanqiao introduced.

Entering the banquet hall, you will be greeted by the beautiful decorative buildings, and the middle of the hall is filled with all kinds of fine wine and food, but there are not many people who actually enjoy it. Occasionally, when I pass by, I just pick up a small piece and put it on my plate.

More than twenty people were scattered throughout the banquet hall, talking as if no one was around. Everyone has an elegant and noble temperament, even when they saw Wang Yong and the three of them coming in, these people did not show any enthusiastic behavior, but just nodded in greeting.

It is quite a bit of a gentleman's friendship, as light as water.

"I like it. Wang Yong said.

With that, he walked straight towards the food platter in the middle of the hall.

Deng Xuedi's face was gloomy, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Shame!"

then deliberately pretended not to know Wang Yong and went in another direction.

Zhong Nanqiao looked at Wang Yong, and then at Deng Xuedi, and finally walked towards Wang Yong.

While helping Wang Yong get a glass of wine, he introduced the guests to Wang Yong.

"Wow, this gentleman, your decanting technique is like art! You must be from some ancient European aristocratic family, right?" a passing guest happened to see Wang Yong's shaking of the wine glass, and stopped in admiration.

In Wang Yong's wine glass, the wine swayed slightly, like a ruby lake rotating with the stars and moon, showing a mysterious charm.

"It's over, just shake it twice. Just now someone said I'm a hillbilly!" Wang Yong said.

The guest snorted: "I am also a man of countless people, if you are a hillbilly like this, I think there will be no nobles in this banquet hall." The aristocratic temperament is not only revealed in the dress, but also in the natural temperament of words and deeds. The person who accuses you has certainly not seen much of the world. ”

Wang Yong smiled and looked at Deng Xuedi in the distance.

Deng Xuedi didn't know that she was described as "never seen in the world" at the moment, and when she saw Wang Yong looking at her, she glanced at Wang Yong with disgust.

Then he put on a smiling face and swayed his waist to a man.

That man was the organizer of today's banquet.

Deng Xuedi wants to use the hand of this master to extinguish Wang Yong's arrogance!
