This man knows how to hype

Chapter 624: Wanda Films

Du family.

In the study room.

After chatting with Du Zhiping and her son for more than an hour, Xu Xiyu stood up and said goodbye.

Now the situation is very clear. All the shareholders of Huahai are thinking about backstabbing others, and the primary targets of backstabbing are Chu Shu, Zhang Yujiao, Lu Ye and Luo Shuquan.

Based on this concept, the plan that Xu Xiyu, Du Zhiping and others came up with was also very simple, which was to perform a play.

A few hours later...

Zhang Jianbai, Qi Xiangyang, and Mao Gaojun, the "Mao-Zhang-Qi trio", got together. Because of the meeting with Xu Xiyu, the arrangement among the three of them was to let Mao Gaojun come forward.

Therefore, even though Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang had secretly met Xu Xiyu, they both pretended that they had not met Xu Xiyu and anxiously asked Mao Gaojun about the situation.

"He agreed and said that he would find a way to cause trouble for Du Zhiping and Li Yiguang in the near future to tie up the energy of the mother and son so that we can free up our hands to deal with Chu Shu and the other four."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianbai's eyes turned and he asked, "Did he say how long he could hold him back?"

"Yes, if we can hold them back long enough, maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity..." Qi Xiangyang also added meaningfully.

Even though they all went to cooperate with Xu Xiyu, they could even stab their own people in the back, so they had no pressure at all when it came to stabbing Xu Xiyu.

In Qi Xiangyang's opinion, if Xu Xiyu restrained Du Zhiping and her son too harshly, perhaps they could take this opportunity to cleanse the "stains" on their bodies.

In this way, there is no need to lure Xu Xiyu into Huahai, and there is no need to worry about Du Zhiping. It is a win-win situation.

Mao Gaojun naturally knew what the two were thinking, so he sneered and said, "Stop dreaming. Xu Xiyu would let us take advantage of this? Don't be greedy and think about this and that."

"That's not what I meant. That's not what I meant." Qi Xiangyang laughed dryly.

Zhang Jianbai, perhaps to hide his embarrassment or for other reasons, asked again, "Did Xu Xiyu tell him how he would involve Du Zhiping and Li Yiguang?"

"No." Mao Gaojun shook his head. "Not only that, he didn't even bother to ask me how I was going to deal with Chu Shu. He said he only wanted one result, as long as Chu Shu and the other four's shares could be cleared out as soon as possible..."

Mao Gaojun paused, then glanced at Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang and said, "From what he said, if we can't even do this, then there's no point in cooperating, because we're not worthy."

The office fell silent because of this sentence.

Both Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang looked unhappy, but it was useless because they were forced by the situation and there was nothing they could do.

"Also, when I just came back from Ivy, I discovered something..." Mao Gaojun tapped the table with his fingers when he saw this.

Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang both looked at Mao Gaojun, waiting for his next words.

“When I was driving away, I saw Zhou Zhou parked his car in the parking lot of Ivy and then went up by himself.”

"Zhou Zhou? The one from Wanta?" Qi Xiangyang was stunned.

"Correct."

"Is Wan Da planning to invest in Xu Xiyu?" Zhang Jianbai thought of a possibility.

"No, I don't think so." Mao Gaojun shook his head.

Then he stood up and paced while analyzing: "Wanda's financial situation has not been good in the past two years. I heard that they have already started selling assets to pay off debts. Where did they get the money to invest in Xu Xiyu?

The most important thing is that Xu Xiyu has abundant cash flow, and his project success rate and return rate are frighteningly high. Over the years, there have been countless investors who want to invest in him, and even Lin En behind me wants to give him money.

Therefore, given Wan Da’s current situation, if they cannot provide any significant help to Xu Xiyu’s industry, even if they want to invest in Xu Xiyu, they will not be able to invest any money.”

This is how the world works. Just like a loan, the less money you have, the more money you can get. The more people are willing to lend you money. Qi Xiangyang and Zhang Jianbai naturally understand this truth.

Especially Zhang Jianbai, after hearing these words, he finally couldn't help but laugh at himself and said: "As a fellow entertainment creator, Xu Xiyu's situation makes me so envious that my eyes are green with envy."

"This kind of thing can't be envied." Mao Gaojun also echoed with some emotion.

But Qi Xiangyang didn't pay attention to this and continued the previous topic: "So, why did Zhou Zhou go to see Xu Xiyu?"

"What else can I do? Let me ask you, what industry of Wan Da's is Xu Xiyu most interested in?"

"Wanda Pictures?" Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang said in unison without any hesitation.

After saying that, Qi Xiangyang added: "So, Zhou Zhou is probably thinking the same thing as us and wants to get Xu Xiyu to invest?"

"I'm afraid so. Given Xu Xiyu's personality, Zhou Zhou wants to get him to invest, and the shares he promised will not be small. I guess, if the deal goes through, he will at least become the fourth or even third largest shareholder of Wanta Pictures." "Damn it, it's like the God of Wealth has come, and everyone wants to invite him home!" Qi Xiangyang rubbed his face with a complicated tone.

Then he said with emotion: "I suddenly remembered the scene when I first met him at the Harper's Bazaar Star Night four or five years ago.

At that time, the seats were arranged according to the status of the guests. I forgot which table he was seated at, but it was at the back. Because of this, Ke Xinying was a little unhappy and felt that I was deliberately doing something bad to embarrass her.

This is really a damn injustice to me. What kind of a henchman was Xu Xiyu at the beginning? His biggest identity label was just Ke Xinying's rumored boyfriend.

That's right, at that time, it wasn't officially announced yet, he was just a rumored boyfriend. Do I need to deal with this little minion?

It was clearly Shu Sili’s (Bazaar’s organizer) own idea. She has always been a snob. Speaking of Shu Sili, I wonder if she regrets it now…”

Listening to his chatter, Zhang Jianbai couldn't help but recall the past.

Four or five years ago?

At that time, I seemed to not even remember Xu Xiyu's name. I just vaguely knew that Ke Xinying was with a gigolo. When everyone mentioned it, they treated it as a joke.

Not only that, when telling jokes, some people even made bets on whether two people’s relationship could last more than two months.

As a result, Ke Xinying's belly became big, and it was said that she was pregnant with twins. Although the father has not been officially announced, everyone in the circle knows that it is definitely Xu Xiyu's.

In fact, not only Ke Xinying's, but also the baby in Lu Qinyao's belly must be Xu Xiyu's.

As for Yang Xueqing, that’s not necessarily true. I’ve never heard of any scandal between her and Xu Xiyu.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slam the table: "Damn it, some things are really unreasonable!"

"Don't be sentimental. Instead of wasting time, quickly find a way to clear Chu Shu and the others out. If we delay for too long, Xu Xiyu will become a shareholder of Wanta, and Huahai will become useless to him."

After Mao Gaojun said this, both Zhang Jianbai and Qi Xiangyang felt some pressure for unknown reasons.

Qi Xiangyang, in particular, began to think in his heart: Damn it, to invite him back as chairman, I still have to consider whether he is willing? What is the difference between me and a bootlicker?
"Shu Sili was a bootlicker before, and she is still a bootlicker now." On the other side, in the chairman's office of Ivy, Zhou Zhou said with a smile.

Without waiting for Xu Xiyu to reply, he continued, "Boss Xu, I'm not saying this nonsense. Shu Sili got ahead because of her good relationship with my mom.

Later, she moved around with shareholders and CEOs of major real estate companies in Beijing. She even seemed to have had a relationship with Mr. Ke’s father…”

"Really?" Xu Xiyu raised her eyebrows. Ke Xinying's father Ke Zhaoting was in the real estate business, and a considerable portion of Ke Xinying's current assets came from Curtin Real Estate.

"It seems so. After all, the girl Uncle Ke later married, Liu Nianzhu, used to be a close friend of Shu Sili. Teacher Ke may not know these things, but her brother Ke Mingcheng must know."

"Ke Mingcheng..." Xu Xiyu became thoughtful. He suddenly remembered that when he returned home yesterday, he heard Ke Tianbao say that his mother Liu Nianzhu and Ke Mingcheng would be released from prison in the next two days.

Zhou Zhou didn't know what Xu Xiyu was thinking, and thought he had said something wrong, so he looked embarrassed and said, "I said something wrong, it's mainly because we hit it off right away, so I said too much."

Indeed, you are talking too much.

This guy has been chatting with Xu Xiyu ever since he entered Ivy. He knows all the gossip about Beijing, Shanghai, and everywhere else.

Many of the things just mentioned were the first time Xu Xiyu had heard of them.

Including what Zhou Zhou just told Xu Xiyu, that Du Zhiping used to be a famous trendsetter in Beijing, who specialized in picking new and cutting-edge things to play with, and even invested in an "e-sports club" (Chapter 214).

This club is called DG, and it is a "mortal enemy" of ZG under Zhou Zhou.

"It's okay. It's not a waste of time. I've learned a lot from chatting with you." Xu Xiyu smiled.

Then he got to the point and said, "However, we can talk about other things when we have the chance. Let's talk about the business of Wan Da Films."

"Okay." Zhou Zhou nodded. Without waiting for Xu Xiyu's reply, he continued, "Mr. Xu, everyone knows that you are a straightforward person. I don't like beating around the bush either. So I'll just say it straight..."

"You say."

"I don't know if you are interested in acquiring Jingwan Investment. This company owns 20% of Wanda Pictures and is the largest shareholder. Add to that the 8.26% you got from Donglianfu. If you take this..."

"Wait a minute." Xu Xiyu interrupted, staring at Zhou Zhou and said, "Donglianfu's shares? Who told you that I have the shares of Wanda Pictures held by Donglianfu?"

Xu Xiyu has always been interested in the shares of Wanda Pictures held by Donglianfu.

To this end, he asked Yu Yuyu's friends to help him wait for the judicial auction, but plans could not keep up with changes. Later, Wang Shan suddenly asked him if he was interested in this and said that someone would contact him.

So Xu Xiyu just kept waiting, but until now no one has contacted him.

As a result, Zhou Zhou actually said that he had Wanta shares held by Donglianfu?
