Chapter 1136: The Wang Family Makes a Move
People say that blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
Not to mention the big trouble that Steer Network Company brought to Xiao Yunhai, the capital city is also unstable. The main problem lies in Xiao Yunhai's newly established coal company.
Someone sued Xiao Shengli and Xiao Yunhai, saying that Xiao Shengli used his power for personal gain, colluded with Xiao Yunhai to defraud the country's coal resources, and the person who sued them was Wang Zhenya.
The strength of the Wang family was originally second only to the Xiao family. After the incident of Xiao Yunhai, after several months of political struggle, the Wang family was severely suppressed, losing 80% of its power, and other members of the family also fell. Scattered, they all climbed to another branch.
The Wang family has changed from the top political family to a second-rate one, which made Wang Zhenya hate the instigator Xiao Yunhai to the bone.
Without him, my two sons would not have been arrested one by one; without him, the Wang family would not have fallen to this point.
It's just that Xiao Yunhai is an upright person and has no excuses, which makes Wang Zhenya feel that he has nowhere to say anything, but his desire for revenge is even more determined, almost crazy.
Until recently, I heard that Xiao Yunhai's chief financial advisor, Christie, was negotiating relations in the capital and bought a super large coal mine with at least 1.4 billion tons in Liaoyang. This made Wang Zhenya keenly aware of the problem.
So he sent someone to find some members of the survey team. After learning about the situation, he personally met with Xiao Shengli's old friend and thoroughly grasped the ins and outs of the matter.
Wang Zhenya was very excited, and sent a relative of the Wang family who worked in the Resource Management Bureau to sue Xiao Shengli and Xiao Yunhai directly.
It has to be said that hatred can indeed make people crazy.
Wang Zhenya's approach is completely in the rhythm of tearing face off with the Xiao family.
Everybody knows,
No matter whether he can win or not, the Xiao family will never tolerate Wang Zhenya's behavior. It is estimated that his mayor of Yanjing City may not last long.
Xiao Yuanyang soon learned of the situation, and immediately called Xiao Yunhai.
"Yunhai, why do you want to set up a coal company all of a sudden? The Wang family is a mad dog now, let them catch the handle, we are in big trouble."
Xiao Yuanyang said to Xiao Yunhai in an unprecedented solemn tone.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Brother, the reason why my uncle and I discussed the establishment of such a company is mainly to resettle the retired soldiers of the Liaoyang Military Region, not to make money. Regarding the matter of the coal mine, my second uncle also handled it for me For the certificate, I sent Christie to sign a contract with the government, everything was carried out under the sun and did not conflict with the law. Why should the Wang family sue me."
Xiao Yuanyang said: "If this is the case, then there is no problem. The most important thing now is how much money you paid for the mining rights?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I spent a total of 56 billion U.S. dollars to purchase the mining rights for 30 years, and the government also took 15% of the shares. Brother, I am almost dying of losses. Yay bah, you can let the Wang family sue, unless he can also sue the government."
Xiao Yuanyang said in surprise, "Why is it so expensive?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm not a fool. The Xiao family is too powerful, how could I give others an opportunity. Brother, don't worry, all the procedures are legal."
Xiao Yuanyang laughed and said, "No wonder my dad didn't say anything after I told this about it. It turns out that the government took advantage of you. Hehe, this time the Wang family can be considered a steal."
Xiao Yunhai asked: "Brother, I don't understand, why did Wang Zhenya sue me so stupidly? Doesn't he know to check carefully the contract we signed with the government?"
Xiao Yuanyang said with a smile: "Do you think you can find out if you want to? The price of natural resources needs to be kept strictly confidential. Not to mention the mayor of Yanjing City, even an official who is older than him. The people in the Resources Management Bureau are very strict, and it is impossible to get words out of them."
Xiao Yunhai said: "So that's the case, I understand. Brother, Yanjing won't call me for questioning, will it? I'm very busy here."
Xiao Yuanyang said: "Don't worry, the government has taken advantage of you. If you can't even handle this matter well, it would be unreasonable. By the way, I have good news for you. I may go to Shaanxi-Gansu Province has been appointed as the executive vice-governor in charge of economy."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunhai said: "Brother, I really want to congratulate you. If you can take this step, you will not be far from Uncle's position."
"Nonsense." Xiao Yuanyang scolded with a smile: "I'm still a thousand miles away, okay? That's fine, I have something to do here, so I won't talk to you."
Time flies, and it has been half a month since Xiao Yuanyang called. The matter of the coal company seems to have passed without any trace, and it is obvious that the government has settled this matter.
The two movies "Harry Potter 3" and "Lord of the Rings 2" invested by Xiao Yunhai have achieved good results in succession.
"Harry Potter" has already been drawn at this time, and the global box office has reached 3.827 billion US dollars. Together with the network revenue, Xiao Yunhai has made a profit of 1.557 billion US dollars.
"Lord of the Rings 2" was released for about ten days until January 15th, and it defeated Paramount's sci-fi blockbuster cleanly and neatly, earning 4.245 billion US dollars. It is estimated that there should be no problem breaking 5 billion.
What makes Xiao Yunhai happy is that the post-production of the Marvel superhero 3D version of "Doctor Strange" has been completed, and the effect is very good.
Although Xiao Yunhai didn't watch it, both Raul and Daniel agreed, which means the movie must be good.
After checking the release dates of Paramount movies online, Xiao Yunhai directly arranged "Doctor Strange" for January 28th, and Paramount's cartoon "McGee Bear" for January 30th.
Once the schedule of "Doctor Strange" was announced, it immediately caused a lot of waves in Hollywood.
You must know that this is the second 3D movie in film history, success is almost a certainty, and no one wants to compete with it.
Even the well-known Warner shied away and postponed the war blockbuster "World War II", which was originally scheduled to premiere on February 5, for a whole week, let alone other small and medium-sized companies.
Almost all companies in Hollywood have made more or less adjustments, but Paramount has not taken any action.
"Doctor Strange" chose to be released two days earlier than "McGee Bear", and everyone knew that this was Xiao Yunhai's revenge for "Lord of the Rings 2".
Although "Lord of the Rings 2" was a complete success, Xiao Yunhai obviously didn't let them go.

Ricky Franklin's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he suddenly punched his desk, which shocked Ilana, the director of the film department on the opposite side.
Since Franklin came to power, he has always been very calm, shrewd, and capable. Even if the movie lost to "Lord of the Rings 2", he did not lose his temper like Hanks before.
Unexpectedly, this time Marvel just announced the release date of "Doctor Mutant", and he became so angry.
Ilana asked cautiously: "Boss, should we change the premiere time of "Maggie Bear" to avoid this 3D movie from Marvel."
Ricky Franklin looked up at him, and said: "Every Hollywood company knows that Xiao is coming for us. If they avoid us, what will they think of us. Remember, we, Paramount Pictures, would rather die standing , and you must not live on your knees. There is nothing to be afraid of in a short-term loss, but what is really scary is that you lose even your spirit.?"
Ilana said: "But "Maggie Bear" is an animation film that we spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on. If it fails miserably to "Doctor Mutation", it will be a blow to us, especially the animation department. too big."
Ricky Franklin said: "So we have to pay attention to strategy. Things like hitting a rock with an egg will only be done by a fool."
When Ilana heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. What the boss said seemed to be inconsistent.
Ricky Franklin pondered for a while, and said: "That's it. "Maggie Bear" is too popular in Europe and the United States. If you want to change the release date, you will not only pay too much, but also make fans laugh. Therefore, this The time in the region should not be changed. But the Asian side is relatively better, and it can be postponed for half a month. In this way, we can not only avoid losses, but also show the outside world that we are not afraid of them at Paramount.”
Ilana gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you should be more thoughtful."
Ricky Franklin shook his head and said, "This is just a stopgap measure. The most important thing is the quality of the movie. How is our 3D movie going?"
After Paramount signed the contract with Fantasy, the directors including Weaver went to China for technical training on 3D movies. Of course, Xiao Yunhai increased the training fee tenfold.
After the directors came back, Paramount started shooting six 3D movies in one go, which caused a great sensation in Hollywood.
Ilana said: "Two are already in production, and the other four will not be ready until February."
Ricky Franklin said: "Let them go faster, money is not an issue, but the quality must be guaranteed. The reason why Xiao can be today is because of his strict control over the quality of film and television dramas."
Ilana nodded and said, "Yes, boss."
After Ilana left, Ricky Frankley sighed and said, "Offending Xiao is really a troublesome thing."
