Chapter 1083 Charity Gala
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Xiao Yunhai, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and Zhao Wanqing, who was wearing a blue and white cheongsam with a slender figure, rode a Rolls-Royce to the hotel where the charity party was held.
When the car stopped steadily at the door of the hotel, a waiter in a white shirt and a bow tie opened the door respectfully.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing got out of the car, and a young man in his thirties who was in high spirits immediately greeted them.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Zhao, hello, I'm Dalton Welch. Welcome to the charity party hosted by my father during your busy schedule."
Dalton Welch is the second son of Jeff Welch and the successor of the huge business empire General Electric Company. It is estimated that the new Universal Pictures will be handed over to him.
Xiao Yunhai shook his hand and said, "Mr. Welch, hello, nice to meet you. Are we late? The cars here seem to be parked a lot."
Dalton Welch said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of people inside, but you are not the latest. Mr. Xiao, my father praised you very much, saying that you are the most business-minded person he has ever met. It's a pity that I haven't been able to meet you for a long time."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I have also admired Mr. Welch for a long time. Now that GE has officially entered Hollywood, it is possible for us to cooperate. What do you think?"
Dalton Welch's eyes lit up, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "We always think so."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I hope to meet with President Welch alone, I wonder if it can be arranged?"
Dalton Welch said: "Of course there is no problem. I will go and notify my father right away."
At this moment, Zhao Wanqing touched Xiao Yunhai and said, "Hanks is here."
Xiao Yunhai turned his head to look,
I saw Hanks in the same suit and leather shoes, and a young woman with a hot body, talking and laughing, walking towards here.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai, Hanks' face immediately turned ugly.
Dalton Welch smiled inwardly: "This Hanks is insidious and cunning, and he acts unscrupulously. It's a pity that the city is a bit shallow, and he can't even do the most basic tricks, which is a bit bad."
Xiao Yunhai didn't care about his face at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hanks, you immediately pulled your face down when you saw me, it made me so sad."
Hanks snorted coldly: "If you were cheated of $1.8 billion, would you still be able to greet him with a smile?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "It turned out to be this matter. Mr. Hanks, please clarify one thing, Paramount's film did use the music clips from my songs without my permission, and you should be punished. If one day, I or Marvel also do such a thing, don't worry, I will definitely not miss you a penny, and I will not hate you for this matter."
When Zhao Wanqing heard this, she almost laughed out loud.
How could Xiao Yunhai make such a stupid mistake? It is estimated that Hanks will not be able to wait for that day in his life.
Hanks' face darkened immediately, his eyes shot at Xiao Yunhai like knives, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will remember this debt of 1.8 billion dollars clearly."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Your memory doesn't seem to be very good? How could it be 1.8 billion? It should be 21.8 billion. Mr. Hanks, do you want the major shareholder of Yanhuang Cinemas? Mr. Wang Yuandong asked me for trouble, and I will not forget the matter of not giving me a 3D screen. It's a pity that your wishful thinking is not very sound. Not only did it fail to prevent me from showing "2012", Wang Yuandong even more Hell. Well, it looks like you are sure to lose."
Hanks snorted and said disdainfully, "Are you too confident?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I wasn't that confident at first, but I didn't feel confident until I saw that you called so many theater executives for a meeting. If you weren't afraid, why would you be so nervous about my 3D theater?"
In terms of eloquence, Hanks was not Xiao Yunhai's opponent at all, and he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Dalton Welch, who was next to him, hurriedly rounded up the field and said with a smile: "Both of them are big figures in Hollywood, so why are you so angry? Mr. Hanks, please come in, plus you , Hollywood's major studios are complete."
Hanks looked a little better, and smiled reluctantly at Dalton Welch, saying, "Then I'll go first, mainly because some people are too annoying."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Xiao Yunhai is deeply honored to be the person you hate."
Hanks was so angry that he almost smoked, knowing that he had nothing to do with him, so he could only leave angrily.
Dalton Welch said: "It seems that the relationship between the two is not very good?"
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Is there a good relationship between GM and Steer? Why haven't I heard of it."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing walked into the hall, which was already full of people. Except for some big stars, all the bosses of major film companies were there.
The female stars are all dressed up and wear very sexy clothes. In this occasion, if they can catch a big boss, it is really promising for them.
The arrival of Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing attracted the attention of many people.
Disney boss Kestel came over first and said, "Mr. Xiao, long time no see. This is your wife, Miss Zhao, right? It's so beautiful."
Zhao Wanqing politely thanked her.
Xiao Yunhai said politely, "Everyone came here today."
Kestel laughed and said, "General Electric's ranking in the world is higher than that of Stell Networks. Who would dare not give face. Mr. Xiao, didn't you all come to the banquet?"
Xiao Yunhai didn't know whether he was sarcasm on purpose or said it unintentionally. Looking at his smiling face, he said, "That's right. I really came to flatter Mr. Welch."
"Hahaha. Mr. Xiao, you are really joking."
A loud voice came from behind Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai turned his head and saw that Dalton Welch and an old man in his 60s with gold-rimmed glasses came over.
It was the old man who spoke.
Xiao Yunhai stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Welch, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Jeff Welch shook hands with Xiao Yunhai and said, "I've long wanted to know you, this young talent. In just three or four years, I was able to become one of the top 20 billionaires in the world. , I really can't accept the old age."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Welch has won the prize."
Jeff Welch smiled and said, "David Stell will come over later. I heard that Mr. Xiao and Stell Networks had some holidays, didn't he?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "No. I just made a bet with Mr. Hanks from Paramount Pictures."
Jeff Welch laughed and said, "A bet of $20 billion is probably the most expensive bet in the world."
Kestel said: "Mr. Welch, you are so interested in the entertainment industry, are you optimistic about its future?"
Jeff Welch said with a smile: "Of course. Except for some particularly difficult places in the world, material civilization is already highly prosperous, and spiritual civilization will replace it and become people's new pursuit. Therefore, I conclude that the entertainment industry will definitely be in the future. It is the fastest-growing industry. We at General Electric have always had no taboos, what makes money, what we do, and the entertainment industry has naturally become the focus of our attention.”
"So, not only did you GE buy Universal, but now you're ready to take down Fox, right?"
An old man dressed in a white shirt with meticulously combed hair and extremely sharp eyes stepped in unceremoniously.
Jeff Welch narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It turns out that Mr. Stell has arrived. Haha, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, I am indeed very interested in Fox, and I am discussing the acquisition. Who made your Paramount under Stell be too aggressive. Since we are preparing to enter Hollywood, we naturally do not want to let you specialize in beauty."
David Stell snorted coldly: "Then let's see a real chapter in the future."
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that the relationship between the two was so bad that he would be sarcastic when they met.
However, the worse the relationship between the two, the more beneficial it would be to Xiao Yunhai.
David Stell turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhai and asked, "Are you that Mr. Xiao who has been in the world for the past two years?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a while, then said: "If there is no other person, it should be me. Mr. Steer, do you have any advice?"
David Steer's tone slowed down, his eyes were piercing at Xiao Yunhai, and he said, "Mr. Xiao, I hope you can cancel the $20 billion bet. As long as you agree, our Steer Network Company is willing to Converting 6,000 2D screens into 3D screens, and at the same time all Marvel movies can be shown in Paramount theaters, we can give you 3% of the profit. What do you think?"
The bosses of the company who had been listening to the conversation of several people were all tongue-tied inwardly, thinking that Paramount could no longer hold it, so they had to make Xiao Yunhai agree to his terms at such a high price.
If it was someone else, because of David Steer's face and the benefits he had received, he would definitely agree.
But Xiao Yunhai was obviously not included in this list.
