The group of relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony left, and the old friend Li Yu and his ex-girlfriend Zhao Wei came, and the manor, which had been lively for more than a week, became deserted. A couple of Mexican-American aunts and three black brothers were hired on a temporary basis to get a three-year work deal from Mr. Lee.

The salary is neither high nor low, based on the average salary in California, but with access to health insurance provided by the Lee Foundation. This is undoubtedly a very good job for people at the bottom of society, considering that the salary in California is second only to New York, and even in large companies, employees have to buy personal health insurance.

If you get paid, you will pay, and those four Mexican aunts get a good job in their eyes, and of course they have to tell their masters what they know. The truth of the matter was similar to Li Jiaming's guess, Hu Xuan did arrange for them to clean the lawn and asked for disinfectant, but he also specially instructed them to wait until there was no one. The reason why they didn't do it exactly was because they were part-time workers, and if they didn't clean up until no one was around, it would delay their next job.

After talking to the four Mexican aunts, Li Jiaming also went to talk to Hu Xuan, and he was very open and honest. The expressions of the grandfather and maternal uncle were a little strange when they left, coupled with the second uncle and the second aunt's desire to speak and stop, as well as the reactions of the little sister and Mao Tong, Li Jiaming could not know what the problem was?

"Jiaming, me".

Knowing what the problem was, Hu Xuanqiao's face turned red, and she didn't know how to explain it. If I knew this, I would have endured whatever I said.

"You".

Seeing his girlfriend so remorseful, Li Jiaming was amused and angry, and hugged her shoulders and comforted: "I didn't mean that, teeth and tongue will fight, let alone people?

Don't blame Diego, they have to raise five or six children, and how can they do a few more jobs?"

"What then?"

What else can be done? This kind of thing cannot be explained, and it cannot be explained, but it can only be seen in people's hearts over time.

Hu Xuan, who regretted it, had no choice but to nod, but still did not take the initiative to talk about her family background, and finally made a breakthrough in research and development, as long as the chip performance can keep up, it can be introduced to the market next year. Her family relationship is a ticking time bomb, and when GCA's main market is overseas, it is not tight, and once exports and domestic trade are equally important, it will definitely be used by competitors to stir up trouble.

"My dad?"

Hu Xuan was at a loss, stunned for a while before explaining: "You mean my biological father, right? When I was three years old, my mother divorced him, and then we immigrated to the United States. We only see each other two or three times a year, and it's when I go back to Taiwan. ”

After speaking, Hu Xuan hesitated again and whispered: "I heard my mother say that my father cheated on her, and she divorced." ”

Now it's Li Jiaming's turn to be embarrassed, and his girlfriend's family situation actually has to ask her herself, which shows how incompetent her boyfriend is.

"Hee-hee, you're busy, let me ask you, when is my birthday?"

"June 7th!"

This time, Li Jiaming answered very quickly, and Hu Xuan kissed him with satisfaction, but he was also worried: "Even if you pass the test, my biological father's affairs will not affect you, right? My stepfather has a business in the mainland, and my sister is still studying in Shanghai." ”

Then it was even more fine, a small stone fell to the ground in his heart, Li Jiaming felt a lot more relaxed, and after sending her back to school, he went to the Four Seasons Hotel to talk to the Wang brothers.

If the person is tactful and soft, his goal will be achieved, and everyone can cooperate. There is no doubt that the art theater chain will definitely lose money, and investing in art films will lose even more money, which is even more undoubted, and the other party must have some purpose behind this matter.

Thinking about it, it is nothing more than seeing the prospects of the film market in advance and wanting to borrow chickens to lay eggs. It's impossible to impress yourself just by making money, unless it's with a reason to make your heart flutter. I was born at the bottom of the society and is keen on public welfare, this reason is not easy to find?

It's no problem to pay for it, and Li Jiaming is willing to pay for it, but he has to set the rules. The domestic entertainment industry is too dirty, and these people in the film and television industry don't pay much attention to the rules, so he can't think of paying money to make wedding dresses for others.

Driving to the hotel, Li Jiaming waited for Li Yu and Zhao Wei, who came from Los Angeles, and then said happily: "Brother Zhongjun, I am ready to invest 100 million US dollars in three years, and the first phase is 30 million." As for the plan, we'll have to revise it.

I was going to set up an independent film company and hire Director Li as an art consultant, who would organize professionals to evaluate and guide the project. In principle, the Foundation will only fund each young director once. ”

What about the cinema chain?

"I'll talk about it later, the seniority ranking in China is too serious, and we have to give young people a chance first. ”

This, this is okay, the two patiently listened to Li Jiaming's plan.

Who's going to make the money out there? It's 100 million dollars, and it's an independent film company, and it's only investing in new directors who are not well known. But as soon as the two of them heard the two sentences, they suddenly realized that they had ignored the most fundamental thing, that is, the population base and the division of people into groups.

There are nearly 1.4 billion people in China, how many literary and artistic youths and middle-aged people are there? Tens of millions of people like to watch entertainment films, but they prefer to watch literary and artistic films with connotations. As long as 10% of literature and art lovers enter the cinema, it will also be tens of millions of box office, which can completely offset the cost of boycotting films.

The key is that this theater only shows literary films, and walking into this cinema means taste. As for whether you understand it, whether you like it or not, that's your own problem, not the movie itself. Just like Hong Kong's 'King of Sunglasses', his movie box office must be miserable, but it is certainly an evocative classic, from the dialogue to the connotation.

After explaining the plan, when Li Jiaming talked about the construction of the art theater chain, he happily promised to invest $200 million to build 200 theaters in large cities with a population of more than 5 million in the country, and the number of screens will reach 400.

It's only 400 yuan? Except for the 400 yuan of the art theater chain, the ordinary theater is not built?

No, Li Jiaming spread his hands and said that they had to find the remaining funds. He didn't expect to make movies to make money, he just wanted to do something for the cultural and art circles, so why would he want to do an ordinary cinema chain? If it weren't for the fact that the public welfare itself should have a hematopoietic function, so that it could continue to develop, he wouldn't even want to open an independent film company.

"Brother Jiaming, will you think about it again?"

"Brother Zhongjun, I like to watch movies, but I'm not interested in how to shoot and operate. If you want to do it, I can introduce you to a few friends who may be interested. ”

In vain, the two of them were unwilling and helpless. If you borrow chickens to lay eggs, you have to be willing to borrow them. Fortunately, the family didn't say anything to death, promised to introduce friends, and did not make it clear that he was not allowed to use his banner to raise money.

Many friends have many roads, and they have to go to Zhang Luo Art Cinema for themselves after they are soft, Li Jiaming also sold his personal favor and said: "Okay, tomorrow we will go to Mountain View City, Yang Zhiyuan's kid has a lot of spare money, and it is estimated that he will be interested." ”

Yang Zhiyuan: That's a well-known super-rich man, if you can persuade him to invest some money, at least you can borrow the reputation of two super-rich people to raise money, and the two hurriedly agreed.
