It's back! I'm sorry, I'm going home for the New Year, and there's no way to update it in time! I would like to solemnly say sorry to all of you! I wish you all a happy old age!

……

Although Lei Shidong is not a media tycoon who will shock the United States ten years later, he has the seventh largest chain of cinemas in the United States, so it is not easy to meet him.

Xu Guanwu stayed in Massachusetts for three days before finally waiting for his opportunity.

"Young man, I heard that you waited downstairs in the company for three days to see me?" Lei Shidong held a cigar in his mouth and looked at Xu Guanwu condescendingly.

"Not bad." Xu Guanwu nodded and looked at Lei Shidong.

He was no more than fifty years old now, but he was in good spirits. In particular, a pair of eyes are so bright that it is difficult to force a look.

"Young man, what is the matter with you in a hurry to see me?" Lei Shidong asked with a puff of smoke.

"It's a matter of life and death for you." Xu Guanwu said seriously.

Lei Shidong was slightly stunned, and then haha smiled, "Young man, if you want to threaten me or assassinate me, I advise you to be biased." ”

"Mr. Lei Shidong is really brave, but if I spread the news that you have revised your accounts and plotted to seize the shares of the National Entertainment Company, do you think you will stay in prison for a few years?" Xu Guanwu said slowly.

In May 4, when Lei Shidong gave up his job as a lawyer and entered his father's auto theater chain, his annual salary was only $5,000;

After years of painstaking management, the National Entertainment Company has developed from a few drive-in theaters to a large chain of 120 theaters and more than 400 screens.

Although he was in charge of the company as CEO, Satsuma was the chief executive officer. Lei Shidong has very few shares in his hands. In order to completely control the National Entertainment Company, Lei Shidong, who was born with a doctor of law, used various means to finally expand his shares to more than 60% and became the veritable owner of the National Entertainment Company.

Naturally, most of the means used in this process are not visible. In later generations, Lei Shidong was repeatedly sued for this, but Zuihou still paid billions of dollars.

And these are all written in his biography, Xu Guanwu naturally knows it clearly.

"Young man, are you threatening me?" Lei Shidong's face changed in an instant, and finally said with a calm face.

"I waited downstairs for three days, not to threaten you, but to bring you money." Xu Guanwu sneered.

"Send money?!" Lei Shidong didn't know why.

"I agree with what you said, 'content is king', and now there are many kinds of media, newspapers, miscellaneous materials, radio, film, television, so many communication channels, the competition is naturally extremely fierce. Therefore, whoever has the most haode content can have the most customers. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Lei Shidong nodded, "Your opinion is indeed the same as mine, but I don't know what it has to do with you coming to see me today?" ”

"I'm here to see you today, and I'm here to deliver content for you." Xu Guanwu said, taking out a copy of "Rocky", "I promise you to make money from this movie." ”

"Young man, I admire your confidence, but do you know how many independent filmmakers send me copies or invite me to preview screenings every day?" Lei Shidong smiled contemptuously.

"I promise this film is absolutely different, is Mr. Lei Shidong willing to make a bet with me?" Xu Guanwu held his head high and said confidently.

"Bet? I've always been a fan of gambling, but for your sake, I can make an exception. Lei Shidong stared at Xu Guanwu with two eyes, very curious about this oriental.

"Okay, Mr. Lei Shidong is really arrogant!" Xu Guanwu clapped his hands, "I bet my film can break through the box office of 100 million US dollars." ”

"Young man, you are very confident." A hint of ridicule flashed on Lei Shidong's face, and he clearly didn't believe Xu Guanwu's words.

"Mr. Lei Shidong must have thought that I would say something big, so let's make this bet." Xu Guanwu said, "If you can't achieve that result, I don't want a penny at the box office." If that result is achieved, I hope to work with Mr. Lei Shidong for a long time in the future. ”

Hearing Xu Guanwu say the bet, Lei Shidong couldn't help but be slightly stunned. lost, all the box office went to the theater party; If you win, it's just a matter of building a long-term relationship.

Whether he wins or loses, he doesn't seem to lose.

But is that really the case?

Lei Shidong didn't believe that there would be such a good thing as pie falling from the sky, so he didn't agree to it immediately, but stared at Xu Guanwu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts in his heart.

"Young man, this bet doesn't seem to be fair to you, and if you win, why don't you raise your requirements a little?" Lei Shidong thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Xu Guanwu's purpose was, so he had to ask.

"Being able to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Lei Shidong is the most haode prize for me." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I value Mr. Lei Shidong's ability very much, and I believe that cooperating with you will bring me more benefits." ”

"Oh?!" Lei Shidong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Guanwu to answer like this. His first reaction was that Xu Guanwu was flattering him, but when he saw the look on Xu Guanwu's face, he knew that he was not lying.

"Well, okay. Since you say so, then I'll make this bet with you. After thinking about it for a moment, Lei Shidong finally made up his mind, "Young man, I have to say, I appreciate your courage, but I don't appreciate your overconfidence. ”

"Whether you are overconfident or not, Mr. Lei Shidong will know sooner or later." Xu Guanwu didn't explain too much, and said with a slight smile.

Xu Guanwu soon signed a contract with Lei Shidong for the screening of "Rocky", and also wrote the gambling game into the contract.

indicated that if the movie "Rocky" did not exceed 100 million US dollars, Xu Guanwu would not get a penny of box office share;

If it exceeds 100 million US dollars, Xu Guanwu will not only get a share of the box office, but also establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Lei Shidong. It also means that Xu Guanwu's movies have a channel for release later.

Seeing Xu Guanwu solemnly sign his name, Lei Shidong smiled proudly, "Young man, aren't you worried that I will suddenly draw when the box office is close to 100 million US dollars?" Then all the box office will go to me. ”

"Mr. Lei Shidong, aren't you worried that I will break the news to the media?" Xu Guanwu also smiled.

Lei Shidong's face froze, and he coughed vigorously, "Young man, I don't know where you got the news from, but I hope that from now on, only you and I will know about it." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "I won't let you down, Mr. Lei Shidong, and I don't think you will disappoint me either." ”

Lei Shidong's face was gloomy, and he nodded unwillingly.

Although it has signed a screening contract with the national entertainment company controlled by Lei Shidong, the movie "Rocky" will not be released immediately, and its schedule is scheduled for June and July.

It happened to be the prime time of summer vacation, and I believe it will achieve quite good box office results.

Xu Guanwu saw that there were at least three months before the release of the film, so he took Zhao Yazhi back to Hong Kong to prepare for marriage.
