Chapter 300: The Phantom World (Finale)

Previous Chapter

Pierce squinted his eyes at the young man who walked in slowly, and his first feeling told him that this young man was definitely not a simple person. He didn't understand why Xiao Ran wanted to see him, and it was a secret.

Xiao Ran was also looking at the old guy Pierce, the wrinkles on the old guy's face were comparable to orange peel. Sitting down unceremoniously, Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Mr. Pierce, you are really punctual, I like punctual people!" ”

Before Pierce could speak, Xiao Ran's body leaned forward slightly, and his tone was still indifferent: "However, I definitely don't like people who dare to challenge me, Mr. Pierce, I believe you must be able to understand the fate of failure in the challenge, right?" ”

Pierce's heart skipped a slight beat, he wondered if Xiao Ran knew, and he quickly denied it, he believed that the people sent out would not talk nonsense. So, he smiled kindly at Xiao Ran: "Maybe I understand, but I'm more interested in, Mr. Xiao, why do you want to see me!" ”

"Me?" Xiao Ran stood up and laughed a few times, then looked down at Pierce, and his tone gradually became cold: "I want to understand, what kind of price is needed to catch the murderer, I think Mr. Pierce, you must be able to give me an answer!" ”

Pierce finally couldn't help but change his color, and when it came to this, if he didn't understand that Xiao Ran had found out that the murderer was a member of the mafia, then he would be extremely damned. After his complexion changed slightly, he quickly calmed down, and still said with a smile: "Then I think, it depends on Mr. Xiao, what kind of price are you willing to pay!" You know that sometimes the killer is not necessarily what you seem. ”

Xiao Ran didn't miss Pierce's expression, and immediately determined that he had indeed done it. It's just that, judging from Pierce's words, there seems to be someone else behind the scenes. This further confirms Xiao Ran's suspicion that the other five companies are also involved.

Xiao Ran smiled, he knew that this deal was done, no one could refuse benefits, and with enough benefits, he and Pierce could even become best friends. He looked at the old guy and said, "What do you think of two billion dollars for MGM plus the murderer and your assistance?" ”

Pierce did not refuse. It's for the family. Definitely a profitable deal. Just when he was thinking about it, Xiao Ran stood up and said indifferently: "Mr. Pierce, I know that we will become good friends, each for the sake of making money. When you can make more money working with me, you'll definitely choose me, won't you? ”

Pierce hesitated, the current situation is fine, he believes that Xiao Ran may not dare to kill him, and sitting in today's position, he has never encountered any storms. What made him hesitate was this profit, since Turner bought MGM that year, took the rights of more than 2,000 films, and spun them off and sold them. MGM fell to the extreme. Don't say 2 billion, even 1.2 billion is no one wants to buy, people would rather take a stake in Warner or Universal, than turn one into MGM.

If this deal is completed, it means that his family can make more than a billion on it, and he can also get out of it from MGM. It's a bargain. Xiao Ran looked at the old guy with a smile and a word, he still had a card. However, that was a type that required Pierce to refuse.

Looking at Xiao Ran's expression, he knew that there was no room for counteroffer. After hesitating for a moment, he still stood up and stretched out his hand: "I think that in the future, my family and I will become good friends of Your Excellency!" Happy working together! ”

Wei Dongling is now in Europe, trying to convince distributors and theater operators, and an old guy in front of him is obviously very stubborn and refuses to give up Hollywood films. Wei Dongling smiled kindly: "Mr. Deni, I would like to ask you, what do you think is the most powerful film company in the world right now?" ”

This Denis is old, but he is not old and doesn't even have a brain, so he gave the answer without thinking: "Of course it's your Phantom Group!" Warner and Disney are also strong, though! ”

"Is Disney really powerful? Let's take a look, what excellent works has Disney produced in the past five years? Wei Dongling was suddenly a little annoyed, his time was very urgent, and he had to settle the European theaters and distributors in the fastest time, how could he have any time to entangle with this old guy.

Thinking of this, Wei Dongling decided not to entangle with this old guy anymore, it would be better to simply do it: "Phantom Image, Basic Film, Charm Film, Universal's two film production companies, Fantasy Animation, Pixar, Infinite Vision and Light Magic, and DST as well as Dolby and Movie King DVD and VCD!" And now MGM is about to belong to the Phantom Group! ”

"Mr. Denis, I'd love to hear from you, do you think your theater has more interest in the Phantom, or is it Hollywood that has more interest in you?" Wei Dongling stared at the old guy, and the threat in his tone couldn't be more obvious: "When Hollywood declares war on the Phantom, then you can only have one choice......"

Is there an alternative? Unknowingly, the Phantom Group has manipulated most of the key forces in the entertainment and media industry around the world, even the blind know how to make the right choice......

Tielong was at home now, and he was so panicked that he didn't even know what he was panicking for. Is it because of the news that Xiao Ran came to the United States? Tielong definitely didn't believe that he would be afraid of Xiao Ran, and he would never ......

He urged his wife to quickly pack her luggage, thinking that if this matter was shaken out, then he must leave the country quickly. In the doubts of his wife and children, he gradually fell into an inexplicable anxiety.

He was worried that this matter would be shaken out, but he was reluctant to give up his reward, as long as he could persevere, the money would be hiss sooner or later. And those capitals that can make him rich, can he let go? He didn't know, at least he thought he would have to do it anyway, and if he left Hollywood, where else would he go?

The doorbell rang, and my wife went to open the door, but there was no sound. Tielong suddenly became alert, picked up his luggage and wanted to jump out of the window to leave, only to find a strong man staring at the balcony when he walked to the balcony. He couldn't help but tremble, and glanced at his wife and children out of the corner of his eye. was even more weak, thinking that the mafia must be planning to kill people and destroy their mouths.

However, it was clearly not as bad as Iron Dragon had imagined, and he was sent to the Beverly Hills Hotel by Pierce's ever-smiling assistant. In the hotel, he saw the sunshine, and his memory was not bad. I remembered it almost immediately. This is Xiao Ran's bodyguard!

Sunshine is really not polite to Tielong, just kidding, this kid almost killed Mr. Wei, what kind of politeness to talk about. Come to a room. The sun pushed the iron dragon heavily. With this push, Tie Long involuntarily rushed into the presidential suite, and on the sofa in the middle sat a person he absolutely did not want to see.

Looking at Xiao Ran's faint smile, Tie Long only felt that his throat was thirsty, and even his whole body was numb, and his feet were soft and he almost knelt on the ground. Xiao Ran glanced at Tielong, and through Pierce's narration, he basically understood all this, and found that this was actually a very poor guy.

Xiao Ran looked carefully at this guy who almost made Wei Dongling lose his life, he hadn't seen him for too many years. And he hadn't paid attention to such a small role. Seeing it at this moment, I found that the iron dragon was very different from the appearance in my impression. Perhaps it is the difference in the nature of the mind that creates the difference.

Tie Long inexplicably felt a trembling emotion in Xiao Ran's gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head and sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran stared at this guy intently, he didn't understand why a talented person had fallen to the point where he was today: "Tielong, right?" I've always been curious. Why are you always hostile to me! I thought, now you can tell me the answer. ”

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Tie Long's heart seemed to be burning with flames at that moment, and he raised his head and glared angrily, as if he was squeezing out between his teeth: "Xiao Ran, you are a big man now, you must not remember, I was forced to pour tea to someone to admit my mistake." ”

Xiao Ran was stunned, his mind quickly searched for pictures related to the iron dragon, and finally found the memory that had been sealed for a long time, and a funny and ridiculous feeling came to his heart. If someone is hostile to himself for such a thing, then he really can't avoid it, you must know that there are always people who do wrong things, and if they do wrong things, they must be punished, do you have to hate him like this?

It was hard to imagine Tie Long's current mood, Xiao Ran's words ignited the depression in his heart like a fuse, and it was about to explode at any time. I saw him stand up, his face turned red, and he couldn't restrain himself from pointing at Xiao Ran and shouting: "Back then, I was in Jiahe, and you ruined Jiahe in order to deal with me." When I went to Hongguo, you ruined Hongguo again. Xiao Ran, it was you who destroyed my cause three or four times! ”

"Do you think you're amazing?" The dragon gradually fell into a very ego state, screaming hysterically: "You are just a fool, a self-righteous dictator. You'll never see anyone else's success, you're jealous of us. ”

"What is a bitch and want to set up a torii, you are!" Tielong laughed and pointed at Xiao Ran, as if Xiao Ran was the funniest thing in the world: "You are selfish and cruel, you can't tolerate others in your eyes, and you even forced me to leave Hollywood......"

Xiao Ran stopped the sunlight that wanted to step forward to block Tielong's nonsense, and listened quietly. He knows that sometimes it is not necessarily right to see himself, and perhaps it is better to see himself from the perspective of the enemy, which is the real self. If he can't even endure Tielong's words, then what qualifications does he have to do great things!

After letting Tielong be hysterical for a long time, Xiao Ran looked at Tielong with sympathetic eyes. This is a very talented man, who was buried before he unearthed it. However, when his talent was discovered, he embarked on a path of destined ambition.

It is right to be ambitious, so for many years, Xiao Ran knew that he was just escaping when he did that in his dreams before, and a completely comfortable life did not exist, to paraphrase Xu Ke's words, some people have rivers and lakes, so everyone has ambitions.

It's just that Tie Longxing made a mistake, if it weren't for the fact that his ambition swelled too fast, he might not have the scene in front of him, and the culprit who caused his ambition to swell was Xiao Ran. Sighing slightly, Xiao Ran looked at Tie Long, who gradually calmed down and shrunk on the sofa whimpering in a voice similar to crying: "Do you think I'm really that kind of person?" ”

The dragon was indeed crying, and when he had vented everything, he found that he had lost all motivation. Is it hatred? Facing Xiao Ran, who was now speaking kindly, he found that he couldn't hate it, because he realized that he had stepped into a quagmire created by Xiao Ran and himself, making him unable to extricate himself.

After so many years of in-depth research on Xiao Ran, Tielong can indeed be called one of the people who know Xiao Ran best in the world. may even know more thoroughly than Xiao Ran. As he got to know more and more, Tie Long found that he had been wrong all along, and Xiao Ran had never taken him seriously, or even ignored him completely.

Through analysis, Tielong knew very well that Xiao Ran was a necessary means of expansion whether he defeated Jiahe or Hongguo back then. That won't be on his head anyway. If Xiao Ran really noticed him. He couldn't even leave Hong Kong, and he had already gone with Mo Huaien.

When he saw Xiao Ran, he realized this. It's just that he has always been reluctant to admit it. He didn't even want to think about it, he thought that his talent could decide everything, and he could even achieve success like Xiao Ran. However, he was completely wrong, and the truth made him fall into hysteria without restraint.

What's even more terrifying is that at this moment, he realized that he had been imitating and learning Xiao Ran's methods and history. It is a very sad thing that when a person only has hatred and success as the driving force in life, then he finds that his hatred is nothing. And the so-called road to success is also completely when learning from the enemy that does not actually exist, then this person's life is actually meaningless, because he is no longer his true self.

For Xiao Ran's question, he has the answer, a very correct answer. The answer is that Xiao Ran is not the kind of person he refers to. If Xiao Ran was willing, he wouldn't need to help Tianluo and Debao back then. can easily obtain an absolute monopoly in the Hong Kong film industry. Even if he poured tea and admitted his mistake that time, it was He Guanchang who forced him, not Xiao Ran's meaning.

There are too many past events, all of which appeared in front of Tie Long's eyes at this moment, and he knew that he had lost, and he had lost in a mess. After losing the ground, he is not qualified to be Xiao Ran's opponent, far from enough.

He found that it was difficult for him to hate Xiao Ran anymore, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. It was very hard and difficult to support in order to carry a burden, and now he can let go, and he only feels that he is no longer afraid of anything. It's just that life seems to have lost purpose and motivation.

He used to regard Xiao Ran as his goal, but as he got to know more and more, he became more and more clear that he would never be able to achieve the second Xiao Ran. He was scared, so scared that he paralyzed himself by self-deception. Without a goal, his life is gloomy, confused and bleak.

Staring at Tie Long, whose expression was changing back and forth, Xiao Ran didn't know how much psychological struggle Tie Long had experienced. The reason why he didn't have a seizure was to let Tielong completely collapse, and he took the initiative to tell him everything, and he also wanted Tielong to come forward as a witness to accuse Turner and Michael, which is the purpose: "Is it interesting? ”

"It's boring! It's really boring! Tie Long's mood gradually stabilized, and he was disheartened, and he hoped that Xiao Ran could give him a good time. People are fighting back and forth, isn't it just the thrill of the moment when the victory is revealed?

This surprised Xiao Ran, he never expected that Tielong would soon struggle out of Fang Cai's hysterical madness: "You are very talented, unfortunately, if you didn't come to the United States at the beginning, but stayed and applied to Phantom to invest in starting a production company, you have a good chance of success." But now you don't have a choice! ”

Tie Long didn't even need to stare into Xiao Ran's eyes, he knew that what Xiao Ran said was true. Phantom currently invests in more than half of the production companies in Hong Kong, such as Xu Ke's film studio, which is invested by Phantom.

Next, Tie Long was very cooperative and said everything Xiao Ran wanted to know. Only Xiao Ran was left in horror, if Wei Dongling was really successfully assassinated, maybe this time the phantom would really go bankrupt and collapse as Tielong expected.

Fang Xiaoqiang and Wei Dongling are Xiao Ran's right and left hands, and it is surprising to say that Fang Xiaoqiang can often help Xiao Ran achieve his goals in finance and stock market strategies. Then, Wei Dongling is absolutely positive, responsible for mastering the management and system of Phantom and the six flagship companies, as well as many decisions, and definitely surpasses Fang Xiaoqiang in importance.

This time, the timing of Tielong's choice was extremely appropriate. It's just that Fang Xiaoqiang was ignored, and because of the gloomy land of Hong Kong, the success of attacking him is minimal. Wei Dongling still played an extremely important role as an executor in Xiao Ran's plan this time, because Xiao Ran himself can be described as the star chairman of the Phantom, and his every move is concerned, so the matter of raising funds is left to Wei Dongling.

And this time it was Wei Dongling who launched the attack on Murdoch, and he also remotely controlled his assistant to close the network and other work of other companies. If Wei Dongling is assassinated at this time, then the Phantom is very likely to fall into the risk of bankruptcy due to lack of funds and attacks from other companies. Even if these possibilities are discarded, at the very least, they will definitely fall into a deadly chaos, and there will definitely be no suitable executor who can completely replace Wei Dongling in the short term.

If Fang Xiaoqiang is assassinated. That's not a big deal. There are also many top traders in Tianxia Fund, and with the current abundant funds, it is not a problem to beat international speculators. But Wei Dongling is definitely a place that the phantom can't afford to lose, Xiao Ran even asserted. Even the disadvantages of being assassinated and dying are far inferior to Wei Dongling.

When Tie Long said all this, Xiao Ran broke out in an extremely rare cold sweat, realizing how dependent he was on Wei Dongling, and realizing that Wei Dongling's importance to the Phantom Land far exceeded his own. This is precisely the reason why Xiao Ran can talk about retirement, but Wei Dongling must need a successor before he can mention it.

However, Xiao Ran still felt bad, because just like that, even if Wei Dongling was assassinated, it would only relieve Turner and Michael's hatred for Xiao Ran, and the benefits they brought were not big enough to take risks.

Merely. Xiao Ran ignored the feelings of Turner and Michael, after all, he was not in those two positions. Turner and Michael are getting more and more sad now, the expansion of the Phantom empire in movies has forced both Warner and Disney to be out of breath, Warner is now basically only left with the name of Big Brother, in fact, the Phantom and Universal control everything. In the face of the crisis of being laid off, Turner and Michael's choice is reasonable.

But. Xiao Ran soon realized that this matter may not be so simple. Turner and Michael don't have to have that much to gain in their land. Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the industries under these two companies. That's right, the TV industry!

Xiao Ran thought that he had indeed felt another benefit for Turner and Michael. It is the television industry, and the Asian market is very firmly controlled by Shuxiang, and Shuxiang is still the largest media company in Europe.

Whether it's Disney's ABC, Warner's, or News Corp.'s all-out North American television network, as long as any one of them grabs the book, it will surely become the world's largest media company.

Don't ignore that Shuxiang is not only doing traditional print media, but also TV media, online media and radio stations, etc., for example, Wei Dongling plans to merge Japan's Yahoo and Hong Kong, Taiwan and China's Yahoo after the spin-off with Shuxiang's network companies.

It is a company that has not intervened in any media industry, as long as it obtains the fragrance of books, it can become one of the largest and most comprehensive media companies in the world. The only thing lacking in the current scholarly fragrance is the North American TV network, so I dare not call it the largest in the world.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran broke out in a cold sweat, and he thought of another possibility! Perhaps Turner and Michael didn't even think about killing Wei Dongling, but just wanted to use this opportunity to divert him from the mountains and get him to North America, and give them the opportunity to sneak up on Shuxiang.

Perhaps, Turner and Michael have always been very clear about Wei Dongling's weakness, so they used Tielong to take the initiative to reveal it, and even did not hesitate to spend 20 million, using the temptation of this money to force Tielong to appear behind the assassination as a behind-the-scenes messenger to clear up the relationship.

Tie Long didn't understand, he had already said everything, Wei Dongling was obviously fine, why did Xiao Ran's face change? Just as he was thinking, Xiao Ran fell into a greater degree of thinking, and the room fell into silence.

"Han Yun, immediately check with me if Warner and Disney have raised a lot of money recently?" After Xiao Ran instructed Han Yun, he tried to sort out all this, in order to give a solution in the shortest possible time.

There is no doubt that Turner and Michael's ambitions are not only for movies, but also for books, Murdoch has no financial resources to buy, but Warner and Disney are different, four years ago, the market value of these two companies was more than $70 billion, and now it has fallen to 60 billion, and it is definitely not a problem to raise funds to buy books.

What were the consequences of assassinating Wei Dongling? All of Asia knows how close Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran are, and I remember that Time magazine also called the two of them close comrades-in-arms in the article. Turner and Michael were clearly aware of Wei Dongling's assassination. That Xiao Ran is very likely to come at the first time.

In this way, the phantom fell into a scene where no one presided over the overall situation, although Shuxiang still had Bai Pengfei, but without Xiao Ran's strategy and Wei Dong's spiritual execution, it was very likely that the two would not be able to stop the joint acquisition of the two.

If Wei Dongling died, then the threat that could be caused would be even more serious. The Phantom must have been in internal chaos. At this time, Fang Xiaoqiang was still fighting with international speculators. In all the bad situations, it wasn't really difficult for Turner and Michael to get there.

All this means that it doesn't matter whether Turner and Michael really want to kill Wei Dongling or not. The important thing is that they can't catch their tails at all. This was very different from Xiao Ran's expectations, he thought that after catching Tielong, he would be able to provide evidence. Judging from the so-called evidence retained by Fang Tielong, it is obvious that it cannot constitute a crime in the United States.

Ninety percent of Shuxiang's shares are firmly grasped in the hands of Phantom, but the companies under it are different, because of the different policies of various countries and the need for local powerful people to sit in charge, so Shuxiang's TV stations, newspapers and magazines other than the local are basically controlled by others. Moreover, the number of holdings is as high as 30%, and the minimum holding figure of Scholar is only 4%.

In this way, it is certainly impossible for Warner and Disney to buy the stake in Scholar in the hands of the Phantom. However, it can acquire the local companies of Shuxiang. If they succeed, then the fragrance of books will be hollowed out.

Just thinking of this, Xiao Ran no longer hesitated, and immediately made a phone call to Fang Xiaoqiang. At this time, Fang Xiaoqiang was still sleeping, and when he was awakened by the ringing of the phone, he heard Xiao Ran's slightly hurried voice: "Xiaoqiang, have the other funds arrived?" ”

Fang Xiaoqiang was slightly startled. In his memory, Xiao Ran was always calm and calm. It's rare for a situation like this to be stressful. After looking at it soberly, he immediately remembered that during the day, there was a 100 billion yuan of funds from all over the world with a very mysterious origin, and he immediately said to Xiao Ran: "No problem, it just arrived at 100 billion yesterday." ”

Xiao Ran suddenly became nervous, the Phantom's funds were all beaten in the previous period of the fight with Soros, and before coming to the United States, he asked how much money was needed to save the situation after explaining some things to Fang Xiaoqiang, Fang Xiaoqiang was sure that he needed 200 billion.

And now the Phantom's capital is only 200 billion, and it just happens to be able to get financial confrontation, so he can get 20 or 30 billion from there. Fang Xiaoqiang immediately realized that Xiao Ran was likely to need money: "Brother Ran, do you need money there?" No problem, I can draw 50 billion here. ”

Xiao Ran was surprised, what is the reason for this, is the situation in Hong Kong decided? He asked without thinking. Fang Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing: "Brother Ran, tomorrow is the decisive battle, have you forgotten?" You and I and Brother Dong have raised 30 billion yuan, and I will add some here that will definitely not affect the situation! ”

Xiao Ran suddenly had the idea of slapping himself, he actually forgot that the three directors of the Phantom had exchanged their personal assets for the funds, but Microsoft's equity accounted for the vast majority. However, there was no time for him to blame himself: "You have to do everything you can to send this money to Shuxiang in the shortest possible time, and they will face the acquisition of several major companies!" Let them hold on no matter what. ”

After instructing Fang Xiaoqiang, Xiao Ran called the sleeping Bai Pengfei and explained everything, and then he calmed down. This time, God is really helping him, and Ah Dong coincidentally took a bulletproof car and blocked the assassination. By the time I arrived, it was time for Hong Kong to get off work, which avoided the swift takeover by Disney and Warner.

This made him really sigh lucky, and turned his face to look at Tielong: "What you did this time was very wrong, and you didn't know that you were used by Turner and Mike." What they want is not what you think, I guess they know that Wei Dongling is my weakness! ”

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he really didn't know what to do with the iron dragon! He pitied such a talent, but this talent was the opposite of him, and he almost made Wei Dongling lose his life, based on this alone, it was impossible for him to use the iron dragon.

Tie Long's face turned white, and he thought a lot of things in this moment. He finally realized that he might be an expert at making movies. is definitely not an expert in playing means, and he has been played around. Maybe he guessed Xiao Ran's thoughts, and looked up at Xiao Ran in despair and said, "Xiao Ran, let me watch this scene, and I will give you an explanation!"

Xiao Ran nodded, being responsible is a man: "Iron Dragon." You can rest assured. I have secured your family, and when you give an explanation, I will give them a sum of money to let them fly away! ”

Tie Long's heart trembled, originally he had always felt that he had lost his family, but he had never had a chance to make up for it, and he had taken an extreme path before, and even ignored the existence of his family. In his heart, he was able to exchange his death for the safety of his family, and he felt that it was worth it.

Looking at Xiao Ran's departing back, Tie Long was silent for a while, and at this moment he found that Xiao Ran was actually very tall and strong. It's a feeling that you can't beat, a feeling that can easily be frustrating. Seeing Xiao Ran leaving, Tielong struggled for a while. finally said in a very low tone, "Brother Ran, thank you!" ”

On this afternoon, out of nowhere, a group of parades appeared on the Walk of Fame, holding signs such as the Yellow Monkey out of Hollywood or out of the United States. Xiao Ran glanced happily at the procession below in the hotel and smiled happily. It's just that there is some sarcasm in the smile. In his opinion, below is just a group of poor people who have been manipulated.

Since the big six companies want to play, let's play with them to the end and let them see who is in charge in Hollywood! Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, sat at the table and gently tapped on the tabletop, but the almost perfect rhythm gradually hypnotized himself.

The current format is very complicated, Xiao Ran originally tried to play a little bigger, wanting to use this opportunity to bring the mafia and the youth gang into conflict, and let the conflict expand to the level of racial discrimination. Then use the casualties of the Chinese to make a big fuss, and by that time, the Phantom has basically escaped from the financial turmoil and is uniting Chinese Americans around the world to make a posture of attacking the American financial market.

The Chinese Americans of the world controlled trillions of dollars in wealth, and at that time, as long as half of the living force was a terrible number. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't think that he could impact American finance with this money, but the threat force was definitely enough. Coupled with the excuse of racial discrimination, it can definitely make the U.S. government make some compromises.

It's a pity that when Xiao Ran proposed the plan to the central government, it was immediately vetoed sternly. And Xiao Ran doesn't want to make such a big fuss, once he is hated by the U.S. government in the future, it won't necessarily be a pleasant thing. Secondly, Xiao Ran thought that this plan was too huge and it was difficult to control it all, and Xiao Ran was reluctant to do what he couldn't control.

It's a pity, if the dollar can be collapsed, then the United States will be able to carry foreign debt enough to make this country one of the poorest countries in the world in the first place. At that time, the American economy will collapse, and Hollywood will be able to do nothing if it has great ability. However, at that time, it will not only be Xiao Ran's matter, but a global financial turmoil, and Xiao Ran will not dare to imagine the consequences.

The procession is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Ran's mood is getting better and better, and now it is enough to wait for everything to come. Fang Xiaoqiang, Wei Dongling, and Bai Pengfei each have their own tasks, as long as they are completed, this battle will be won.

Just when Xiao Ran was getting complacent, a news came at a very fast speed, and it can be said that it was transmitted to Xiao Ran at the first time - the chief died of illness!

Xiao Ran was stunned for the first time, he thought that since the chief was fine in history, he gradually put his mind at ease. But before he arrived, the chief had just seen Hong Kong's return to the motherland with his own eyes, and died the next day.

This is a great and legendary leader, isn't it? Xiao Ranzhi felt a burst of sadness and grief, it was indeed grief, and people who had not experienced all this could not feel the tremendous changes that this chief had brought to China. Because of the chief, the country and the people gradually became richer, but because of his early death, some policies have undergone unpredictable changes. If he is still alive, everything will not be as good as the scene that Xiao Ran will see in the future.

In any case, Xiao Ran thought that the chief should be happy when he left, and he witnessed the return of Hong Kong with his own eyes, which was his wish. The chief who got his wish must be very happy, this is the only thing Xiao Ran can comfort himself.

It's just that in this way, Xiao Ran knows that he has less time to belong to. He must retire within a year, and no later than two years. He has too much power right now, and he knows that very well. If Li Ka-shing in history has not been suppressed. At that time, Li Ka-shing was basically not involved in politics and had nothing to do with the underworld.

Xiao Ran is different, very different, his status in the eyes of Hong Kong citizens is definitely better than that of the Hong Kong governor or the chief executive, and he has a lot of power in Asia, and even controls the Hong Kong underworld. These factors made Xiao Ran irresistibly the king of Hong Kong. Xiao Ran can even assert. After this financial turmoil, his reputation will definitely be pushed to the top, which is even more of an unstable factor.

For this reason, Xiao Ran racked his brains. It is for this reason that the successor of the underworld is motivated, and retirement is a way to put the government at ease. Just the influence of the mall will not cause any problems, Xiao Ran is still very clear about this. So, he had to get it done as soon as possible.

July 3 is an extremely important day for Fang Xiaoqiang and for the whole of Hong Kong and Asia. When Fang Xiaoqiang and international speculators were in the afternoon, even the blind could see the phantom victory, and the whole world focused on it in the afternoon.

With the steady recovery of the exchange rate, the stock market Hang Seng Index and the futures index have soared, and the people's faces are full of joy. When the closing bell rang in the afternoon, the whole city suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers, and everyone in the exchange embraced each other with joy, and this time, no one could stop the Phantom from recovering the lost ground.

Fang Xiaoqiang finally took a heavy breath. He thought that he had really completed the task assigned by Xiao Ran. The only regret for him is that it is really unfair to fight Soros this time. However, as Xiao Ran said, battles never need to be fair, they just need to be won.

The news of Hong Kong's victory reached Wei Dongling as soon as possible, and Wei Dongling couldn't help laughing, and then Murdoch was born. He will immediately attack News Corp., and attack the bankers who financed Murdoch's acquisition of Scholar's company, and Murdoch will definitely lose!

Murdoch watched the exchange rate and stock market soar rapidly in Hong Kong, and by the time the market closed, cold sweat had hit his whole body. This scene was like a miracle, and he didn't even know how Xiao Ran did it.

He sat on the couch in a daze, his mind messed up to the extreme. He couldn't imagine that the phantom could stage a Jedi counterattack in a desperate situation, defeating the wealthy and powerful international speculators, although the winner has not yet been completely divided, but the international speculators have experienced today's battle, almost the whole army has been wiped out, and the blind know that Hong Kong has won, and the phantom has won!

What should I do now? Murdoch gradually calmed down. As a result, the bankers and investors, who had lobbied him to take advantage of it, must have lost confidence. If they ask for divestment, the acquisition will be a failure.

In the blink of an eye, Murdoch had an ominous premonition that he had raised a lot of money to achieve the purpose of the acquisition, and he had reached the limit. If the Phantom attacks News Corp at this time, it will have to declare insolvency and go bankrupt!

Just then, the phone rang. He took the phone, only listened to a few words, and with a few shakes of his wrist, the phone fell directly to the ground with a bang. The phone call was like a smash on his heart, only to more than double his heartbeat, more like a smash on his head, making him dizzy.

The bank officially announced to him - News Corp is in a tragedy due to lack of funds, and he will have to announce the news of today's bankruptcy tomorrow! Could it be that the hard work I have worked so hard for so many years belongs to someone else when I am old?

He couldn't believe it! But the facts were in front of him. There seems to be no other way than to declare bankruptcy. He was slumped in his chair, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat......

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were in the presidential suite of the Beverly Hills Hotel, and when they woke up the next day, they were refreshed, but they were in a very happy mood. After eating breakfast leisurely, Xiao Ran smiled at Lin Qingxia: "Wife, it's time to close the net, let us perform for you!" ”

The news of Hong Kong and the Phantom's victory in the financial turmoil shocked the world, and no one expected that the Phantom would be able to quickly fight back after being forced into that situation, and also defeated the international speculators.

However, when Chief Executive Dong addressed the whole of Hong Kong and the world, saying that Hong Kong and its people are definitely not super ATMs in the eyes of any financial speculators...... Several companies in Asia and Europe declared bankruptcy, and at the same time were acquired by flagship companies such as Shuxiang or Power, but they were only covered up by the words of Chief Executive.

Those companies may have the technology that the Phantom needs, or they may be potential rivals to the Phantom. But now everything is gone. At the same time. News Corp. announced the collapse of the factory, and Shuxiang bought News Corp. at a very low price, and injected capital to become a subsidiary of Shuxiang.

At the same time, Xiao Ran made a call to Wei Dongling: "You can start!" ”

Wei Dongling smiled slightly. He found out that this kid was really insidious. He was able to take advantage of the incident of his shooting, and took advantage of this perfect opportunity to use various means to get major publishers and cinema chains in Europe and Asia to stand in this camp.

In the past few days, he has been busy not only with Murdoch's rear, but also with his distributors and cinemas. Just like now. He is negotiating with some of Europe's largest publishers and cinema chains. As long as you get away with it, then Europe will have no problem. And Asia, which can be described as the land of phantoms, is not worried.

Wei Dongling thinks that it doesn't matter if he continues to ramble with these people, they are all old men, and if they want to tear it down, they don't know how to talk about that day! He thought, it's time to put some pressure on them as Xiao Ran said!

Thinking of this, Wei Dongling burst out into a rough laugh. Standing up and glancing at a few old guys around this table: "Everyone, I want to say it very simply, only the Phantom can give you more and greater benefits, so your partner must only be the Phantom Group!" ”

But wouldn't that be the result of losing Hollywood? And it also made the Phantom Group form a monopoly pattern! A relatively young guy was nervous, looking at Wei Dongling's gradually sinking face. I can't help but be a little scared.

Why be afraid? The Phantom is their food and clothing, and without the Phantom's films and Universal's films, they would lose at least half of their profits. It is important to understand that every year the Phantom's films are always able to bring them more profit.

"Really?" Wei Dongling knew that Xiao Ran was going to make a move, so he had to solve it immediately: "I want to tell you that Universal has negotiated an acquisition with MGM, and News Corp. has been acquired by Scholar Holdings, which means that Fox belongs to the Phantom." Tell me, what other options do you have? ”

There was an uproar, and if this was the case, it would mean that three of the seven major companies were controlled by the Phantom, and there was also a rapidly rising DreamWorks. Wei Dongling sneered: "Maybe I should tell you that Universal and Charm Pictures have become the third largest shareholder of Warner and Disneyland so far, plus Paramount's second largest shareholder, I think you should know what to choose!" ”

"Finally, I would like to give you a word, the Phantom Group is not engaged in monopoly, but to break the monopoly of Hollywood." Wei Dongling walked out expressionlessly, and dropped a sentence: "Don't forget that the film company of Phantom Holdings controls at least one-third of the theater chain in Europe!" ”

This sentence is very intimidating, it doesn't matter if these old guys say yes or not, it's just that it can add some weight to the Phantom. There are film companies that control many theaters in various countries around the world, and the Phantom will not even need to give the film to the theaters controlled by these old guys, and it will be able to be released all over the world.

On July 4th, two representatives of European cinemas and distributors stood in front of the bookish TV cameras and swore an oath, and the application waved their fists passionately and shouted: "The global film industry should stand up, let us stand up and protest against racial discrimination and industry monopoly in the United States and Hollywood!" On behalf of European distributors and producers, as well as cinema chains, we are here to make a joint decision to deny entry to Europe the films of any of the participating studios until racial discrimination is still enforced in Hollywood! ”

On the same day, Miao Jingping, a film company representing Asian cinema companies, secretly said to the camera very simply: "When Hollywood stops this kind of behavior and admits its its mistakes, then when will we open the theater to them!" ”

And Yang Qi of Tianluo Company was even more indignant and said in front of reporters: "In such a situation, the global film industry should unite to address Hollywood, and I, Yang Qi, will announce here on behalf of the Asian distribution company that I will refuse to import any racially discriminatory films from Hollywood until they apologize and admit their mistakes." ”

Of course, they are not really so indignant. That's unknown. However, the Phantom Group, as the party concerned, came out of the cinema and made a sound, and there was no movement. That's a little weird。。。。。。

Xiao Ran admired the picture on TV, and smiled at Lin Qingxia: "Wife, look, Yang Qi, this kid is really talented in acting." Why don't you look for him as a starring actor next time! ”

And at the same time. However, there was an internal war in the five major theater chains in North America, which caused the original chairman of the board of directors to step down under pressure. Instead, there are people who are backed by global equity。。。。。。

Turner and Michael were going crazy, and they felt like they were frying in that pan right now. As the Phantom set aside most of its body in the financial markets and stock market, they knew it had failed. Even. When the phantom was still entangled, Shuxiang's huge funds were counter-takeover.

In this acquisition, they lost as much as 500 million US dollars, which was enough for the board of directors to scold their own dogs, and they thought that the most uncomfortable thing was just that, but they didn't expect that less than two days later, the global film industry came to this hand, which really frightened the two.

Turner is okay, after all, he is one of Warner's major shareholders, but Michael is really facing the crisis of being laid off this time. If they can't solve this problem, it means that the two companies will not be able to do anything but release them in North America. That's a self-defeating one.

However, at this moment, a phone call sent them from the eighteenth floor of hell to the nineteenth floor - the chairman of the board of directors of the five major cinema chains changed hands, and issued stern warnings to two of them and four other companies, warning them not to meddle in the internal affairs of the cinema chain.

Warnings can't make them feel scared, what makes them scared is. The five major theater chains are biased towards Universal and Phantom in terms of policy, so their films give priority to prime time. What's even more terrifying. By the afternoon, the news of News Corp.'s takeover and MGM's announcement that it had become a Universal-based subsidiary had completely lost their confidence.

The contrast was so great that they went from heaven a few days ago to hell, and the feeling was overwhelming. They are now arguably the world's biggest losers, and they have become the object of responsibility for the whole of Hollywood. They thought that the only way was to go to see Xiao Ran!

Xiao Ran looked at the procession downstairs with a smile, thinking that these people might not need it soon. Suddenly, he heard that Turner and Michael were coming to visit, and Xiao Ran smiled faintly: "Please let them in!" ”

Xiao Ran nodded slightly to Lin Qingxia, and Lin Qingxia immediately smiled and entered the bedroom. Turner and Michael are now extremely pale, and despite the wave of opposition to Hollywood around the world, it is clear to anyone in the industry that no company has such influence except for the Phantom.

"Mr. Xiao, I 。。。。。。" Michael's temper tantrum doesn't have to be said now, he just wants to get down on his knees and beg for mercy at once. This is not a great deal for him to kneel, as long as there is interest!

"The two of you really have Yaxing, please take a seat, you're welcome!" Xiao Ran looked at the two of them with a smile, and invited them to sit down as if he was entertaining old friends: "I don't know if the two of you have something to do with me?" ”

Turner smiled bitterly, he thought that this time he really lost badly, and the only hope was that Xiao Ran would not kill them. But this was obviously impossible, just as they didn't dare to really kill Wei Dongling.

"Mr. Xiao, we lost, leave us a way to live!" Turner looked at Xiao Ran's expression, knowing that Xiao Ran had been waiting for them for a long time, so he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and said directly: "As long as you can stop this turmoil, I will resign as vice president immediately!" ”

"Do you still think you have a choice?" Xiao Ran's smile was a little ironic, and he squinted at the two of them and said lightly: "The road was chosen by you, and today, what do you think you can do?" I hope you don't forget about Wei Dongling's assassination. ”

Turner and Michael's faces suddenly turned pale, they didn't expect that even this matter would be found out by Xiao Ran. Turner smiled miserably: "Mr. Xiao, if you really want us to die, then you don't need to tell us so much now." I'm selling you my Warner shares, and that's the only thing I can do! ”

Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, Warner equity is really nothing to him now. However, this wave of boycott of Hollywood is difficult to maintain for too long, Xiao Ran just wants to use this opportunity to obtain absolute rights in Hollywood. And now, he's done it, and Turner and Michael's first step into the room means they lose, and Hollywood loses to him.

Those few mysterious smiles made Xiao Ran look even more invincible. Michael and Turner's regrets are naturally not mentioned. Xiao Ran suddenly sighed: "Let's go." I'll stop this, as long as you're responsible! ”

The next day, Turner and Michael announced their resignations, and Turner sold his stake in Warner to the Phantom Company. After receiving this news, Xiao Ran nodded to the sun, and then looked at the procession outside the window. Sunshine picked up the phone and said softly, "It's time to disperse!" In less than half an hour, the marchers all dispersed. Soon, the wave of global boycotts subsided.

Tie Long stood on the roof of the mansion and thought quietly, thinking about everything Xiao Ran had said to him. When he saw that Xiao Ran had solved everything so quickly, he thought that Xiao Ran had already planned it, so he asked, "Xiao Ran, did you arrange all this!" ”

"Arrangement?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, he wasn't crazy enough to joke about Wei Dongling's life. Wei Dongling's assassination was definitely an accident, an accident that made him angry and shocked: "Of course not! ”

Seeing Tie Long's puzzled expression, Xiao Ran quickly understood Tie Long's doubts, and explained to the guy who was about to explain with a smile indifferently. In fact, everything is very simple, Wei Dongling was assassinated, Xiao Ran immediately realized that it was the six major companies that were doing ghosts, and he thought that Turner and Michael might not really want to kill Wei Dongling.

Ah Dong was shot, which made Xiao Ran immediately kill from Hong Kong to the United States. When he learned all this, he was immediately furious and reversed his previous plan. He knew he had to show Hollywood what authority was.

As a result, Wei Dongling was sent to Europe, on the one hand, knocking on Murdoch's rear, and on the other hand, creating pressure on European theater operators and distributors, so that they can join forces to boycott Hollywood globally in the short term. In this way, no matter how capable Turner and Michael are, they will definitely be kicked out by Warner and Disney. More importantly, taking this opportunity, Xiao Ran hinted to industry insiders around the world that Phantom is the world's number one film company.

As for the march in the street, Pierce made up it according to the agreement with Xiao Ran, in order to give an excuse to boycott Hollywood. Pierce wanted to get out of Hollywood, but unfortunately he had been asking too high a price and no one cared about it. The most important thing is that the old man Jin of the Qing Gang has become one of the cards played by Xiao Ran, and Pierce agrees to come down smoothly, which is good for them. It's very simple......

Murdoch is now recuperating in his villa in Europe, and he feels that the battle with Xiao Ran has consumed all his energy, but he still does not expect News Corp to go bankrupt. Although he didn't lose much of his own net worth, he had to admit that he had failed badly and needed time to heal his wounds.

However, it was such a calm that God couldn't let him enjoy it, and Bai Pengfei came to visit. Looking at this senior-level figure, Bai Pengfei was very respectful, and Xiao Ran told him that this was a powerful person: "Mr. Murdoch, I want to appoint you as the CEO of News Corporation, what do you think?" ”

In Wei Dongling's concept, News Corp.'s industry will not move for the time being, except for the spin-off of Fox to ATV, there is nothing to lose. And the subsidiary that Murdoch had been eyeing before will also merge with News Corp. to officially enter the Asian market.

And the only thing that is still lacking is a leader, News Corp is a subsidiary of Shuxiang, and there is no reason for Bai Pengfei to take care of it personally. And Murdoch is clearly such a suitable person, very appropriate.

Murdoch was amazed and sat up abruptly, he dared to swear to God that he had never expected all this in front of him. The thought that he was about to plunge into his favorite media industry made his heart, which had been calmed down by the fiasco, jump again.

Before he said yes, though, he wanted to know a question: "How the hell did you beat me?" ”

Bai Pengfei smiled, he also asked Xiao Ran such a question: "Brother Ran mentioned to me that he and Wei always started preparing two years ago. The financial turmoil in Hong Kong was deliberately caused by them, and they deliberately put themselves in such a desperate situation to attract you to come. ”

"And that subsidiary is also the bait that Brother Ran and Mr. Wei have prepared for you for more than two years, and their purpose is to ask you to bite that bait. As for your attempt to acquire a company in North America, you are simply secretly disposing of a position! ”

"Everything else, including the constant sniping of News Corp.'s acquisition plan, is designed to put News Corp. in financial difficulties and debt baggage!" Bai Pengfei smiled happily, "And the financial turmoil caused all this!" ”

The more Murdoch listened, the more shocked he became, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. With the Phantom's strength, it would take him two years to deal with News Corp., and I don't know if he should feel lucky or something else. It's just that he immediately thought of a question: "Why is Xiao Ran sure that he won't lose in the financial turmoil!" Dare to make this bet! Bai Pengfei just smiled at this and didn't answer.

And at the same time. Soros, who was like a dead face, came to the Phantom Headquarters and saw Fang Xiaoqiang, he lost, if he didn't find out in time that something was bad and withdraw, I was afraid that he would be bankrupt now. But even so, he still wanted to understand how he lost.

Fang Xiaoqiang finally saw this top master with his own eyes, and he was also the opponent for this period of time, and after inviting Soros to sit down, he smiled and said: "Brother Ran designed it two years ago, in order to attract you and rely on your strength to advance the financial storm." Let this storm happen within his control, and thus fill the void in the financial system! ”

"Brother Dong has arranged a lot of ingenious chess pieces in order to lure you here!" Fang Xiaoqiang definitely did not hesitate to explain to this expert, speaking of which, this time they can still only be regarded as equal: "The phantom is trying to stop you in order to put yourself in a desperate situation." Lure companies with bad intentions about the Phantom to attack, such as News Corporation! ”

Soros had to admit that he lost, very cleanly. Although in the financial market, he and Fang Xiaoqiang can only be regarded as chess opponents, but he lost strategically. No one thought that with the ability of the richest man in the world, it would take two years to lay out, let alone that in this game, he would be used from beginning to end.

However, why is Xiao Ran sure that he can win? Where did you get your money later? Soros dejectedly asked the last question, and it was the one Murdoch was asking.

"That's financial aid from Chinese businessmen around the world!" Fang Xiaoqiang smiled happily: "Actually, there are no funds from them, and Brother Ran also has other channels to get enough funds!" ”

Soros only felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't even speak. Fang Xiaoqiang stood up and looked at Soros: "Brother Ran asked me to tell you that the letter he gave you is not a joke, and the phantom is not something anyone can challenge......"

"I understand, I understand......" Soros muttered to himself, his expression was extremely pale, he stood up and came to the door, and suddenly turned his head to Fang Xiaoqiang and said: "Tell Xiao Ran that I lost, and I will never set foot in the Asian market in the future!" Fang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled with satisfaction like Xiao Ran!

On the roof of a building in Los Angeles, USA, Tielong closed his eyes and walked to the edge, and the corners of his mouth suddenly couldn't help but smile. He thinks that his life may not be very bad, at least it can be regarded as witnessing the process of a super entertainment media giant from strong to weak, and then to rule the world! At least that's what he thought when he jumped......

At the same time, Universal asked the American Film Association to hold a meeting, and Xiao Ran attended this meeting as the behind-the-scenes boss. This time the meeting was very simple, Xiao Ran looked at the table full of heavyweight company presidents and chairman of the board of directors and smiled: "I deeply regret everything that happened a few days ago. Luckily, we all made it through, didn't we? ”

Everyone below was secretly scolding in their stomachs, who didn't know that Xiao Ran was the mastermind behind the boycott wave a few days ago. Xiao Ran didn't even need to guess, as long as he thought about it on his knees, he knew that others were scolding him. However, this is always the case in the mall, and hypocrisy is one of the characteristics of a businessman.

"But ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Ran's words changed suddenly, and his expression became calm: "The sexual behavior of some companies a few days ago, I hope I will never see it again in the future." If there is any more behavior against the Phantom, then I am absolutely welcome! Of course, if you get along, then everyone has money to make, and I guarantee that the film from Hong Kong will make all the companies profitable. ”

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, Hong Kong films always have a lot of profits in the North American market, much larger than local films. It would be a wonderful thing to get the distribution rights. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran looked around with an indifferent smile, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, as if he was thinking.

"I've been told before what the rules of the game are in Hollywood!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, always a little indifferent and cold: "However, the current rules of the game will be formulated by the Phantom and everyone here. Here, I would like to remind you that you should never try to break the rules, because the consequences will be too much for you to bear! ”

Xiao Ran knows very well that this is the United States, although the Phantom has the absolute initiative, but nominally it still wants to let the heads of other companies enjoy it! Speaking of this, his tone paused, and the sound of percussion stopped, he leaned over to scan around, and a deep and stern voice sounded in the room: "My words are the rules, no one can disobey them, and in the future it will be the world of phantoms, and no one can stop it!" ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Ran turned around and left. Everyone present looked at Xiao Ran's back, and Xiao Ran's words still echoed in the room. They had to admit that Xiao Ran did have the power to make and maintain rules. And Phantom is indeed the largest and most influential film company in the world today!

My words are the rules, no one can violate them, and in the future it will be the world of phantoms, and no one can stop it!

Without a group, it is logical to become the world's largest film company, and after Shuxiang Media got News Corporation, it became the world's most influential and largest media company in one fell swoop, and there is also the world's largest record company!

In July and August, Phantom blockbuster films such as "Titanic" were released in North America, sweeping the North American box office with absolutely unstoppable power. In September, Xiao Ran gave up the position of chairman of the board of directors of the six flagship companies to Wei Dongling, and on the same day, Xiao Ran invited Fa Ge and his friends to celebrate at the retirement banquet!

On April 6, 1998, the Hong Kong Film Awards officially replaced the Oscars and became the world's number one film award. Because there is no Oscar for Hong Kong films to compete for, it is just an ordinary award.

On the 6th, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia quietly arrived in Hong Kong, and they came to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards. This year's Academy Awards, like previous editions, were held in the Red Pavilion. With the appearance of a BMW, everyone was in a sensation, because they knew one thing, Xiao Ran's car had always been a BMW.

Sure enough, in the flash lights and the wild shouts of fans, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia got out of the car holding hands! immediately attracted a burst of wild shouts from the audience, much more fanatical than some big stars. A number of obvious and directors greeted each other, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia glanced at each other, and gradually smiled, this is a place they are familiar with, and it is also a place of glory.

Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, the two international directors, walked forward with a laugh and slapped him fiercely: "Ah Ran, where did you and Qingxia go, why is there no news at all!" ”

"Lao Xu, Lao Wu, it's been a long time, wait a minute, you'll know where we went!" Xiao Ran also laughed out loud, now he is the real him, not the one who is disguised behind a majestic and deep mask: "What about Brother Fa? I miss him so much! ”

"...... here" Fa Ge suddenly came out from behind Xiao Ran and gave Xiao Ran a hard fist, looking at the American stars such as Cruise and Hanks on the side, they were terrified, they didn't expect that someone would dare to say this to Xiao Ran: "You kid, you haven't heard a letter for so long, did you go to the cannibal tribe?" Qingxia, you will definitely not be able to bear it if you follow him! ”

"No, I went with him, and I realized that those days were really free, and it was much stronger than what I feel now!"

Lin Qingxia smiled softly at Brother Fa: "Brother Fa, if you have time, you should also go out for a walk, that feeling is really great!" ”

"Qingxia, when did you come back?" Zhong Chuhong saw Xiao Lin and the two as soon as she came, and she didn't know what it was like, she was married, but she hadn't quit the film industry yet.

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia couldn't stop greeting the others, until they saw Daisy and Ge Wenqiu rushing over and shouting: "Mr. Xiao, where did you go, we all want to kill you!" ”

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia suddenly laughed, but when they saw Wei Si coming over with a surprise on his face, in desperation, Xiao Ran could only clasp his fists and say to the friends around him: "I'm really sorry, let's go first, and the rest will be said when it's time to celebrate!" ”

This time, he finally walked on the red carpet smoothly, and Xiao Ran saw that Uncle Zhan in front of him was talking with Huang Jiaju, and immediately rushed up and shouted: "Uncle Zhan, I'm back." You didn't even come to see me! ”

"Go, you're not my apprentice when you come back, you should come to see me!" Uncle Zhan looked at Xiao Ran with a proud gesture, although Xiao Ran, a lazy guy, hadn't made any music yet. But he still felt that Xiao Ran was his proud disciple, and he didn't know why.

Looking at Huang Jiaju, Xiao Ran smiled brightly, history has changed, but now it is still in his hands. It's just that he no longer relies on the history he knows to understand, but through his own ability.

This is an undisputed Academy Award, "Titanic" and "Reincarnation" swept all the technical awards they could get. It wasn't until the main awards were awarded that there were some fluctuations, and Xiao Ran successfully won the Best Creative Award with "Reincarnation", which was inspired by the creative column in the subtitles of Hong Kong films, so the awards were added.

When it came to the Best Director Award, Xiao Ran couldn't help but get excited, this was probably his last work, and he hoped to get a perfect harvest. With Coppola, the award presenter, shouting out: "The winner of the Best Director Award at the 17th Hong Kong Film Awards is, Xiao Ran, "Reincarnation"! ”

A look of ecstasy appeared on Xiao Ran's face. This time, he really won this award by his own strength. At this time, as Coppola said on stage: ""Reincarnation" is the most genius film I have ever seen, and I think Xiao Ran definitely deserves this award!" ”

Letting go of Lin Qingxia's hand, Xiao Ran came to the stage and took the trophy, then he pondered for a moment and organized what he wanted to say. Raise your head and look at the audience and guests who are sitting in half of the Red Pavilion, men and women, old and young, yellow-skinned, dark-skinned, and white-skinned.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a great sense of accomplishment. He thought he had really succeeded, and all this was definitely not a dream. Looking around, the audience was silent, and Xiao Ran said quietly: "Many friends have asked me where I went, and here, I will answer." ”

"After I retired, my wife and I went to many places, savoring the rare tranquility and peace in the mountains and seaside!" When Xiao Ran said this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Qingxia, and the tenderness in his eyes was felt even by blind people: "A month ago, we went to Africa, where we saw many women and children dying of hunger and disease. ”

"There, I asked myself, you have a lot of money, but it's all just a numbers game, what's the point?" Xiao Ran gradually smiled bitterly, this time he really saw a lot of tragic things: "I donate to them, although I know that it can't bring them anything, they have to have their own ability and their own development, people can often only rely on themselves." ”

The audience was silent, staring at Xiao Ran on the stage, not understanding what he wanted to convey! At this moment, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly became excited: "So, I think why can't we invest in Africa and improve the backwardness there?" I decided to invest in improving everything there, but that would take their efforts. ”

"Inspired by this, I wonder why Chinese films have been able to change everything in just over ten or twenty years when they are lagging behind world films." Speaking of this, Xiao Ran shouted: "Because we have our own strength and talents, when we have all this, we have everything we have now!" It's all the result of our joint efforts! ”

"Are we going to be stopped because of our current record? Of course not! Xiao Ran looked even more excited, raising his arms and shouting: "The film industry all over the world is chasing us, and we must understand that we can do better!" Right! ”

In the Red Pavilion, I could only hear a buzzing sound from my eardrums! Xiao Ran waited for the excited people to calm down a little, and then continued: "The reason why I was able to win this award is because I know that I can do better, and we can all do better!" We will only choose to be the best! ”

People are excited about Xiao Ran's words, since the gradual rise of Hong Kong films 20 years ago, under the leadership of Xiao Ran, Hong Kong films, or rather Chinese films, have developed at a rapid pace, and have quickly had a stable market around the world.

And Hong Kong always produces more than 300 films every year, continuously supplying films to the world, becoming the real Hollywood! And all these drastic changes are all because of Xiao Ran! This makes people how not to get excited!

"I've always had a dream of film, I think film is borderless, art that everyone can understand. Now I have done it, even standing on the stage of this highest honor, and this is my dream. Xiao Ran gradually smiled, and his fingers swept around the field: "I know, you also hope to get this highest honor." However, you must remember that standing here is not the end, but another starting point, another starting point to climb to the pinnacle of art. ”

"Every time I shoot a scene, it's very meaningful!" Xiao Ran excitedly raised his arms and shouted with all his might: "Movies move the world, and we will change the world with our dreams!" ”

Xiao Ran's speech may not be so much that it moved the world. At least for decades to come, the phrase "movies move the world" will spread all over the world and become the best interpretation of film art.

In just 11 years, Xiao Ran has become the number one power person in the global entertainment industry, and Phantom has become the world's largest film company and one of the top ten companies with the highest market capitalization in the world. Xiao Ran has become the richest man in the world, and Fang Xiaoqiang and Wei Dongling have both entered the top 50 of the world's richest people with a net worth of 10 billion US dollars in 11 years.

According to a sophisticated investigation conducted by Scholar's Power magazine before its arrival in 2000, the Phantom Group has created billionaires that no other company in the world can match. As of 2,000 years, 68 super-rich people with assets of more than 100 million dollars have been created in just 13 years. There are as many as 19 people who have exceeded one billion, and this does not include those who are already rich.

In 2000, Xiao Ran relied on the soaring market value of technology companies and electronics companies, as well as network and software and computer companies, with a personal net worth of up to $250 billion, and the second place was only a fraction of the number of students.

Also on the eve of two thousand years, Power Magazine finally met Xiao Ran and his wife in Northern Europe through layers of relationships. This interview can be called the most comprehensive, and it is still an interview done by Liang Jiabao.

Who can create hundreds of billions of wealth in just over ten years, who can make Chinese films mainstream in the world in just over ten years, who can call the wind and rain in the global entertainment industry, and who can have both genius-like talent and a strong money-making mind...... Only him, he is lucky to get Xiao Ran, the first beauty of the Chinese, Lin Qingxia! Liang Jiabao's writing is still very old and spicy, rendering Xiao Ran into an absolutely legendary figure. Of course, many years later, the legend became a legend!

In 2003, Wei Dongling resigned as chairman of the board of directors of five flagship companies, retaining only the position of chairman of the board of directors of Power. In the same year, Wei Dongling resigned as the CEO of the Phantom Group, which led to a lot of stock prices in the companies under the Phantom, which shows the confidence of shareholders in Wei Dongling.

The successor was Qin Bai, and under the remote control decision of Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, the phantom did not have any problems and successfully completed the handover. The underworld was also smoothly handed over to Liu Bin and Han Xun, so that Xiao Ran finally got rid of the harassment of the underworld, but his prestige still existed.

In 2006, Hollywood finally collapsed the market due to high salaries and production fees, as well as the extreme system of rich and poor. Warner and Disney finally couldn't resist the first to declare bankruptcy and collapse, with Warner being bought by Tianluo and Debao, and Disney being bought by Phantom.

In the nearly two years since then, Hollywood has been self-reorganized, and Phantom has finally entered the North American market as an absolute mainstream, successfully completing the most important link in Xiao Ran's strategic concept. At this time, Xiao Ran's personal dream was finally completed!

In 2010, Phantom had nine flagship companies across countless industries with a market capitalization of trillions of dollars. Wei Dongling and Fang Xiaoqiang's net worth was as high as more than 40 billion at that time, and they successfully entered the top ten rich. Xiao Ran's personal wealth is as high as 400 billion US dollars, and this guy's speed of donating money alone is not as fast as making money.

In 2018, at the age of 25, Xiao Ling took over the position of CEO, known for his extremely Xiao Ran-like style and deep scheming. In just ten years, the Phantom Empire, which was in a bottleneck state, has expanded again, such as the computer business.

The sale of shares in Dell and Microsoft alone earned the Phantom at least $400 billion, and shortly after the sell-off, the Phantom launched a biocomputer. Three years later, the personal biocomputer was launched. Five years later, the world's first popular online game was launched. As for Xiao Qing, this kid actually became an international director like his father in the future.

Of course, in the past two thousand years, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, as well as Lin Qingxia and Li Jiaxin, laughed on an island in the Caribbean Sea. Now Xiao Qing and Xiao Ling'er are seven or eight years old, and they don't need him to be a horse to ride, but they always play hide and seek.

However, Xiao Ran was not playing with these things now, he and Wei Dongling were appreciating this article made by Liang Jiabao. Xiao Ran was surprised, he didn't expect the Phantom to be able to create so many super-rich people: "Adong, is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true. This is your own company, you don't know how to do it yourself! Wei Dongling immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, he specially flew over to accompany Xiao Ran, otherwise, he would definitely have to stay and celebrate the arrival of two thousand years with the employees.

However, it was a real pleasure on this island, and the slight sea breeze made the whole tired person seem much more relaxed. Wei Dongling was even very jealous of Xiao Ran: "Your dreams and ideals have been achieved, and even reached a height that no one else can reach, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

"Me?" Xiao Ran hugged Lin Qingxia beside her, fell on the comfortable and soft grass, and said to Wei Dongling with a smile: "Isn't it good to be like this now?" I've done everything I can do, and I'll leave the rest to God! ”

That's right, that's the end of it! Xiao Ran thought so in his mind. This is the most perfect thing he can do, if God asked him to save Hong Kong movies, then he has done it perfectly.

No matter what will happen on that day in 2005, he only hopes to be able to spend the rest of his days with Lin Qingxia and his children, just like the scene in front of him.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Qing were chasing and playing on the grass, and Wei Dongling's two children also joined in, and the four children kept laughing happily. The sea breeze was blowing slightly, and there was a burst of grass fragrance around, Xiao Ran knew very well that letting this continue like this would have been the best thing in the world!

He thanked God for giving him the opportunity, thanked himself for getting Lin Qingxia, thanked himself for having two lovely children, thanked himself for having friends like Wei Dongling and Fa Ge, and thanked him for everything. He knows that no matter who wants to cherish their life, no matter how unbearable and painful it seems, there will always be a turning point, as long as they can wait to get it......

With ups and downs, joys and sorrows, gains and losses, lows and lows, this life is perfect. He thought, maybe this is what Cang Tian wants to tell him through this opportunity......
