This man knows how to hype

Chapter 337 Why do you lie to little girls all the time?

Parallel Chongcai has a sister company called “Binary Shadow”.

From the name, we can tell that they must have discussed it before choosing this name. Two companies, one makes games, the other makes animations and special effects.

At the beginning of the establishment, both parties felt that they had a bright future, because the future of animation and games is likely to be bright.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion.

But the problem is, it is not certain whether that bright future can be theirs.

Back then, group buying also had a future, and a lot of people flocked to do it, so a war among thousands of groups broke out, but in the end, only a few survived.

Parallel heavy color is fine, but now the funds have not yet met all the budget requirements.

As we develop it slowly and more progress and materials become available, there will still be opportunities to attract investment in the future.

Binary Shadow was in a terrible situation. I don’t know if it was God’s trick or just bad luck, but the investors encountered various problems one after another. Inexplicably, it entered the countdown to bankruptcy.

No one wants to go bankrupt.

No one wants to fail halfway through starting a business.

So, at Lin Zhenyu's suggestion, they went to find Xu Xiyu.

Moreover, it was Lu Jiu who made the contact.

To be honest, Lu Jiu really didn't want to do this.

She didn't even want to ask whether Xu Xiyu planned to invest in Pingxing Chongcai, let alone ask about investment for Binary Shadow?
But sometimes, when we live in this world, we have no choice.

At this time, Liu Jiming, the founder of Binary Shadow, was introducing the situation of their company and their work cases to Xu Xiyu. Listening with Xu Xiyu were several senior executives of Huaqing who were called over by him.

Liu Jiming spoke seriously, and Xu Xiyu and several senior executives also listened attentively.

Perhaps the only absent-minded person in the whole audience was Lu Jiu who was sitting in the corner.

We met three times after the reunion, and two of them were about investment matters.

In other words, both meetings were about money, which made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Xu Xiyu didn't notice what Lu Jiu was thinking, because he was really looking at the information of Binary Shadow seriously.

As early as the roadshow of "Dying to Survive", he told Gong Lingyun that he wanted to develop special effects and animation technology in Xiao Moss.

Because he can't just make low-budget comedies and feature films forever.

Now that he has money and a team, he naturally wants to make works with high technical content.

Although blockbusters may not make as much money as low-cost comedies, the other benefits they bring are far beyond what low-cost comedies can achieve.

Originally, Xu Xiyu and Gong Lingyun were both investigating suitable companies. Who would have thought that one would come to them on its own.

The capabilities of his team currently seem to be quite good, which is exactly what Xu Xiyu wants.

This is different from the many good domestic animated films produced on Earth.

On Blue Star, domestic animated films, except for children's productions like "Boonie Bears", are a desert when it comes to domestic animated films targeting the general public.

It’s not because everyone thinks that animated films can’t make money. After all, the box office of Disney animations on Blue Planet is also quite high, which shows that the audience has this demand.

The reason why it cannot be produced is that compared with the production difficulty, investment cycle, investment risk and other elements of animated films, it is obviously much more cost-effective to remake, plagiarize, and put together a number of jokes to make a comedy.

The true character of investors is to take shortcuts without making progress and to dream of making quick money.

But Xu Xiyu is different. He has a lot of classic animated movies in his mind, and it would be a waste if he didn't bring them to Blue Star.

Moreover, when communicating with Hu Ningtian before, Hu Ningtian also hoped that he could consider the "international audience".

Let me ask you, is there any art form that can achieve this goal more easily than animated films?
For example, the two animated films that Xu Xiyu remembers most are "Wall-E" and "Coco".

People all over the world understand the emotions conveyed by these two movies.

It can be said that there is no threshold at all.

Based on the above ideas, Xu Xiyu had a very serious and in-depth conversation with several founders from Binary Void.

If appropriate, he planned to acquire Binary Shadow directly together with Little Moss.

Then he started working on the "Wall-E" project to test the waters. As for "Coco," he had to think about whether to change the background.

The original is the Mexican Day of the Dead.

See if it is feasible to change it to the domestic Ghost Festival or Qingming Festival.

Time passed slowly during the negotiation between the two parties. Three hours later, Liu Jiming and the people from the binary shadow were ready to leave. Lu Jiu naturally followed them out.

But when she reached the door, she gritted her teeth and whispered to Liu Jiming and the others, "You guys go back first. I have something to talk to Mr. Xu about."

After saying this, she turned around and went back to the office.

At this time, Xu Xiyu had just walked around to his desk and hadn't even sat down yet. Seeing Lu Jiu coming back, he blinked and guessed, "Are you going to ask about the parallel heavy color?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu inexplicably felt as if he was stabbed in the heart.

Just as he was about to shake his head to deny it, Xu Xiyu said, "Mr. Hu is planning to invest, and I am also planning to follow suit. In the next two days, a team should be contacting you to discuss the details, so don't worry."

After saying this, Xu Xiyu smiled happily. He felt that he had told Lu Jiu good news.

But it was this smile that made Lu Jiu even less happy. She hoped that the relationship between her and Xu Xiyu could be purer.

Just like when I was in college, I didn't care that he was poor or talented. I just felt that being with him was fun and fun.

But now, the gap and rift between the two are getting bigger and bigger.

With all these thoughts sweeping through his mind, Lu Jiu forced a smile and said, "That's great. I'll go back and tell them the good news."

After saying this, she felt that this was not enough, so she glanced to the side and said with an increasingly forced smile: "It seems that the people in our company will have a good New Year this year."

"Then I will try my best to get them to settle the matter before the New Year." Xu Xiyu added after hearing this.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu looked at him suddenly, and then quickly retracted her eyes. At the same time, she raised her hand slightly and gestured as if she wanted to say something.

But after a while, I couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu scratched his chin and asked in confusion: "No, what's wrong with you? Just say it."

"I..." Lu Jiu opened her mouth and uttered a sound. She wanted to explain that she was not here for Xu Xiyu's money and investment, and that she was different from Lan Shuyun.

I just said I wish you a happy new year, and I don't mean to urge Xu Xiyu to finalize the investment before the New Year.

But I have a thousand explanations in my heart, but when I say them, I find that I have nothing to explain.

Because after explaining, I seem more like a "green tea girl who takes advantage of others".

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu calmed down, put his helpless hands into his trouser pockets, shrugged at Xu Xiyu, smiled and said: "Thank you, then I will go back first, you go ahead."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

I had just taken two steps when I heard someone from behind: "Wait."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu stopped and turned around in confusion.

Then Xu Xiyu took something out of the drawer of his desk and threw it towards her while shouting "Catch it".

Lu Jiu instinctively reached out to take it, and when he took a look at it, he found it was a small jewelry box. When he opened it, there was a pair of earrings inside.

This made her already confused look even more confused.

"I've had this thing with me for almost five years. I originally wanted to give it to you when you went abroad, but I didn't get to give it to you. Today I'm returning it to its original owner."

"Ah?" Lu Jiu was completely stunned.

"It's not an expensive item. You know that when I was in school, I was a poor guy and couldn't afford expensive things. Don't despise me."

"No, you..." As Lu Jiu spoke, his eyes kept switching between Xu Xiyu and the earrings in his hand.

"I want to tell you that if I have to give you something, this is what I will give you. It will not be an investment in parallel heavy colors, nor will it be an investment in binary phantom.

Business is business. I am willing to invest because I have my own plan and I see the value of the investment. You didn’t have so many messy thoughts before.”

After these words came out, Lu Jiu didn't know what to say anymore.

She stared blankly at Xu Xiyu, who was leaning against the desk with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his lips, and felt a warm current rising from the soles of her feet.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a knock on the door, and Shan Xinbao's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, Mr. Qiao is looking for you."

This voice brought Lu Jiu back to her senses. She quickly stuffed the box into her pocket, looked at Xu Xiyu, pursed her lips and said, "Then...then I...then I'll go first, you get busy."

After saying that, she walked quickly to the door with her head down, opened it, and ran out of the company with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

This made Shan Xinbao and Qiao Shuangshuang instinctively follow her back with their eyes. Until she disappeared around the corner, they couldn't help but look at each other again.

From each other's eyes, they could see a look called "gossip".

Xu Xiyu in the office turned his gaze to his drawer and saw two or three boxes in the drawer that were similar in style to the ones he had just given to Lu Jiu.

This thing was a gift from a brand when he attended an event last year. After he received it, he put it in his drawer.

In other words, he was just lying to Lu Jiu, and the earrings were not bought 5 years ago.

To be honest, he didn't want to lie, but in the situation just now, if he didn't lie, the relationship between him and Lu Jiu would only get worse.

He hated this kind of situation.

He still wanted to recreate the feeling he had with Lu Jiu when they were in college.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu leaned back and rubbed his face.

Damn it, today he first lied to Hu Ningwei this morning, then lied to Lu Jiu, and he keeps lying to young girls all day long.

Xu Xiyu, ah, Xu Xiyu.

How could you be so depraved?
Have you forgotten the work plans you made earlier?

Confucius said: "I examine myself three times a day."

Starting today, work hard and develop your career well!

I can never play cards again... No, I can never lie to little girls all day again!
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Jiu ran to the downstairs of Huaqing Building, found an empty corner, and used the back of his hand to cool down his hot face.

While cooling down, he kept repeating in his mind: "Lu Jiu, wake up, wake up, he has a girlfriend, you can't be together, his girlfriend is a fairy, wake up!! "
