Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 385 International Superstar of Sheep Culture
January 10, 2011, 9:1 AM, a conference room on a certain floor of Huawei's headquarters building.

Li Yaoming stood at the front of the conference room, with a PPT slide projected on the large screen behind him, titled "U8800 CES 2011 European and American Market Brand Promotion Plan".

He was wearing a dark blue suit and holding a laser pointer, pointing at a map of European market distribution on the screen.

The conference room was full of leaders.

This included Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, several vice presidents of the Marketing Department, and several heads of technology and product lines. The table was covered with mineral water bottles and notebooks.

In the tense and serious atmosphere, Li Yaoming cleared his throat and began to speak: "Good morning, everyone. Today I will mainly report on our brand promotion strategy after launching the U8800 at CES. This is our first mid-range smartphone, mainly targeting the European and American markets. It runs on Android 2.2, has a 4-inch screen, and is priced at $299. Our goal is to seize the mid-range market share from Samsung and HTC, and our target customer group is young people with limited financial resources who love trendy products..."

He tapped the laser pointer, and the screen switched to a bar chart. "This is our advertising data from the past six months in Europe. Brand awareness in the UK, Germany, and France has increased by 12%, 15%, and 10% respectively. This CES is a key milestone, and we plan to invest 5000 million RMB..."

Yu Chengdong, who is very familiar with the European market, leaned back in his chair and interjected, "Yaoming, is this budget enough? Samsung will also launch a new Galaxy series phone at this year's CES. Moreover, their distribution channels in Europe are already very extensive, and their carrier subsidies are stronger than ours."

Li Yaoming quickly flipped to the next slide of the PPT, which contained a detailed media plan. "Mr. Yu, this time we're not only relying on traditional advertising, but also planning to do targeted advertising on YouTube and Facebook, targeting young people aged 18-35, which is expected to reach 3000 million users. As for the budget, I've already checked with the finance department, and if the results are good, we can add another 3000 million."

A hushed discussion broke out in the conference room as several leaders flipped through the printed materials in their hands.

Yu Chengdong shook his head.

The strategic transformation of "Huawei mobile phones should shift from ODM white-label to its own brand" and "upgrade from low-end to mid-to-high-end smart terminals" was proposed by him after he took office as CEO of the consumer business in the second half of last year.

The U8800 is the first phone launched under this strategy. Whether it can gain market acceptance can be said to be the key to the success or failure of this strategy.

However, in retrospect, the plan that Li Yaoming and his marketing department developed cannot be called a failure, but for someone who understands the European and American markets, it didn't offer any highlights.

Yu Chengdong stated, "There are still problems. 3000 million reach sounds good, but what will the conversion rate be? Don't forget, user loyalty in Europe is very high. Can you really win over Samsung and Apple users just through online advertising? I think it's unlikely. Yaoming, do you have any other solutions?"

If Li Yaoming had been subjected to such relentless questioning by Yu Chengdong before last night's phone call, he would probably be completely bewildered by now.

Because their previous promotional plan actually ended there, and there was nothing more to it.

But now, he still has something to say.

Li Yaoming nodded and said, "There's another promotional channel, but I only learned about it last night and haven't included it in the PowerPoint presentation yet. Here's what happened: last night, I received a phone call..."

Next, Li Yaoming recounted the story of the receptionist from Huanxin Company calling him, as if telling a story.

He noticed that when the words "Huanxin Company" were mentioned, President Yu, who had been deep in thought, suddenly sat up straight as if he had been jolted awake from a dream, and stared intently at him.

Li Yaoming sighed inwardly. Success is indeed not accidental. Look at others, and think about myself. No wonder I'm four or five levels below them.

A fleeting thought crossed his mind, but he didn't shy away from admitting that he hadn't trusted the other party in the first place.

He recounted the story of Qin Shi Huang in detail, which elicited a few soft laughs from the room.

Li Yaoming recounted that after he expressed his doubts, the girl reintroduced herself and her company.

Li Yaoming said, "It wasn't until then that I realized I must have misunderstood. However, Mr. Yu, even now, I can't be completely certain that this is true. After all, the whole thing is too bizarre. She was vague on the phone and didn't really sit down and talk to me, so I can't guarantee anything..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chengdong stood up and turned to his assistant, saying, "Xiao Liu, go and book tickets for me, President Ding, President Zhang, and Yaoming right now. Take the earliest flight to Beijing. Yaoming, give Xiao Liu their contact information and arrange a meeting time for us. It can be anytime today, no matter how late."

……

Chen Nuo actually called Qi Yuntian and asked him to contact several domestic mobile phone manufacturers to see if any of them were interested.

The beautiful receptionist from Xinjiang who had just joined the company did indeed contact several companies.

The beautiful receptionist couldn't tell the difference between the two Wangs either. In any case, Huawei, which mainly deals with telecommunications equipment, was the last company she contacted.

Prior to this, ZTE, Lenovo, Coolpad, Meizu, and others had all received the call.

But I don't know if it's disbelief or indifference.

In short, it was Huawei, which was contacted last, that became the first group of people who wanted to have a face-to-face meeting.

They only contacted me the night before, and I was supposed to come over for a meeting the next afternoon. This was something that no one at Huanxin had expected.

Similarly, none of the people at Huawei expected this...

"What the hell? They get off work at five o'clock?"

Before even boarding the plane, Li Yaoming was shocked to hear the feedback from his assistant, Xiao Liu. "I definitely received the call around 9 p.m. last night."

"They said she made the call herself on her cell phone after she got off work at home."

Upon hearing Xiao Liu's words, Li Yaoming felt utterly devastated.

Is it really possible for a company in this world to let employees leave work at 5 pm every day?
Holy crap, is there no justice in this world?

He glanced at the several bigwigs around him, and seeing that none of them spoke, he had no choice but to continue asking, "So what does that mean? When did you make the appointment with them?"

"The appointment is for 10:10 AM tomorrow."

"10:10? Why so late? Why not 10 o'clock?"

Xiao Liu blinked and said, "Because she said they start work at 10 a.m. The boss also arrives at 10 a.m., then rests for a bit, and the meeting starts in 10 minutes, which is just right."

Just right.

Just right...

Li Yaoming was a little dizzy.

As the boss, when I need to meet with someone to discuss business, it's already 10 o'clock before I start work. Can't I even arrive 10 minutes early?
You want to rest for 10 minutes after you arrive? You're really precious.

And yet, they somehow managed to arrange a meeting at 10:10!

And they even claim it's just right?

Just the right amount of old mother.

What kind of company is this?!

Not only is there no "wolf culture," it's practically a "sheep culture." Li Yaoming guarantees that if this were in their industry, they wouldn't survive three days.

At that moment, a calm voice came from the side; it was President Yu Chengdong speaking.

"Xiao Liu, tell them that we'll be there promptly at 10:10 tomorrow morning."

“Okay, Mr. Yu,” Xiao Liu replied.

Afterwards, the Huawei team took a plane and arrived in Beijing around 7 p.m.

We had a simple meal together and then returned to our hotel near Chaowai. After discussing the key points of tomorrow's meeting, we went our separate ways.

Li Yaoming had no idea what Yu Chengdong and the others were doing.

Although he is in Beijing, it seems he has only changed his work location.

The phone kept ringing non-stop, and I didn't miss a single task. I was busy until 1 a.m. before finally closing my laptop and going to bed.

The next morning, Li Yaoming woke up to the sound of pattering rain outside his window, and it felt like it was getting light.

He was immediately startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Oh no, I'm going to be late!
He was about to instinctively turn over and get up when suddenly, his mind came to his senses.

Li Yaoming was stunned for three seconds.

Then he lay back down heavily.

He glanced at his watch; it was 7:30. Remembering that Mr. Yu had said yesterday that they would meet at the third-floor restaurant at 8:30 today, an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through his mind—

Perhaps I can take a half-hour nap.

Oh My God.

Li Yaoming was utterly astonished by his own idea.

Time for a second nap!
For him, who joined Huawei right after graduation, when was the last time he took a nap?
It must have been in a past life!

In that instant, a feeling of fullness and expansion filled his body.

So this is the world of sheep who start work at 10 o'clock. Listening to the rain outside the window, Li Yaoming drifted off to sleep again.

This feeling is actually kind of great.

……

At 10:5 a.m., a group of seven people from Huawei arrived at the Chaowai SOHO building.

At this moment, Li Yaoming met the Uyghur girl he had spoken to on the phone.

At this moment, Li Yaoming was once again shocked.

Looking at the girl's oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and exotic features, I could tell she had a unique appearance.

Li Yaoming had only one thought in his mind: Is this the entertainment company?

Can a receptionist look like this? Or is it that only those who look like this can work as receptionists here?
This is too outrageous.

Is it really that happy to be a ram here?

Gulnazar didn't seem to mind. Her years as a model had made her used to being stared at.

It was my first time being a receptionist, and I felt a little nervous facing these well-dressed and imposing middle-aged men and women. Following the etiquette I had hastily learned online the night before, I extended my hand and gestured to the side, saying, "...Welcome everyone, hello, I am Gulnazar from Huanxin Company. General Manager Li asked me to wait for you here. Please, this way please."

Yu Chengdong said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Gulnazar didn't know what to say, so she just smiled a little awkwardly.

In fact, this kind of work was definitely not what she originally wanted to do.

She loved dancing since she was a child and always wanted to be a dancer. Later, she embarked on a modeling career, but she always had a dream of becoming a star.

After the XJ Performing Arts Troupe underwent restructuring and she could no longer join, she came to the mainland to look for opportunities.

Unfortunately, although she got the chance to participate in the audition for the role of Yu Ji in "The King's Feast" through a variety show, she ultimately failed to make it to the top 18.

It has to be said that this was a huge blow to her proud and arrogant nature.

If she hadn't seen Huanxin Company's recruitment ad online when she was feeling disheartened, she probably would have gone back to XJ to lick her wounds in silence.

Huanxin Company rekindled her hope.

Because she knew that Dilraba, the "Sweet Potato Sister," was also a Uyghur, and had joined the same agency. This company certainly wouldn't reject her like Lu Chuan did, because of her ethnic appearance.

However, after gaining a deeper understanding, Gulnazar was once again hit by reality.

Since Huanxin's recruitment target is current students from various universities, she, being only a high school graduate, clearly does not qualify.
But how could Gulnazar accept this situation?

Seeing that Huanxin was also recruiting for other positions online, she resolutely decided to apply for the receptionist position.

Although this job pays less than a third of what she earned as a model, she knows it's the closest she's ever been to her dream.

As the old saying goes, "Opportunity favors the prepared mind."

She believed that with her looks and charm, she would definitely make a name for herself once she got the chance.

……

After taking the elevator, we arrived at the 21st floor in no time.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a man and a woman were seen leading several people at the entrance.

Before arriving, the Huawei team had obviously done their homework. Yu Chengdong immediately smiled and said, "President Qi, President Li, I've heard so much about you! Hello, hello, hello, I'm Yu Chengdong..."

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, the two sides went into the left-wing conference room together.

Gulnazar was busy serving tea, water, and snacks in the conference room for quite a while.

Then he took a notebook, sat down, and acted as a meeting recorder.

"...That's the information Mr. Chen has sent back from the United States so far."

"I understand. Mr. Qi, do we have the right to make suggestions regarding the format of this advertisement?"

"No."

"Their rule is that we can't show our logo, and they won't mention our brand or phone name?"

"Yes."

"So you're saying we only get one chance to showcase our work?"

"Yes."

"So, Mr. Chen, have you mentioned any approximate figure for the sponsorship fee?"

"Yes, three million US dollars."

"...Three million US dollars for the exhibition rights. Um, Mr. Qi, could we discuss this?"

"Of course. Do as you please. Come on, let's go outside and give Mr. Yu and the others some time to discuss this."

Gulnazar stopped writing.

She looked up and saw that before leaving, President Qi gave her a deep look.

Gulnazar felt a little uneasy, nervous, and shy.

She had actually noticed that in the past few days, whenever President Qi passed by her, he would always glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Could it be that President Qi has feelings for me?
Gulnazar swallowed, her cheeks feeling a little hot.

To be honest, although he is a little older, his appearance and status are definitely above average.

If that's really the case... it's not something we can't rule out.

Ever since she discovered this, she has felt her heart flutter every night when she gets home; it's not that she hasn't been tempted at all.

perhaps……

Hmm, what should I do if President Qi confesses his feelings to me?

After returning to the front desk, Gulnazar drifted off into thought, lost in thought. ...

……

Li Jing also noticed Qi Yuntian's glance at Gulnazar.

Li Jing, of course, didn't think much of it.

Although fewer and fewer people have talked about Qi Yuntian's sexual orientation in the three years since Sun Haiying's incident.

For many people in remote areas, or for young children, they may not have heard that this person is gay.

But how could she not know?

As he stepped outside, he asked curiously, "Mr. Qi, do you think that young lady is quite nice?"

"What's good about her? I see her constantly distracted, her mind isn't on her work at all. Did you see her meeting minutes? I just glanced at them as I passed by, and they're like gibberish. She can't even do this basic job properly, where did we find this person? The HR department is getting more and more outrageous. Observe her for a while longer, and if she continues like this, fire her immediately."

"Ah, oh." Li Jing hadn't expected it to be like this, and casually agreed.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "President Qi, if our company can establish a relationship with Huawei this time, it would be a really good thing. These product companies have a lot of advertising and endorsement opportunities. Hmm, I just don't know if they will agree to this."

"Why not?" Qi Yuntian retorted.

Li Jing was momentarily speechless.

Okay, I guess I was talking to the wrong person.

After all, everyone in Huanxin Company knows that President Qi would never question the decisions made by President Chen.

Li Jing couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said nothing more.

But in her opinion, asking for three million US dollars without even a concrete plan seems a bit unreasonable.
Even if the person who said this is named Chen Nuo?
"Tell me everything."

After the meeting room became empty, Yu Chengdong began to ask questions.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the final result was that, apart from him, there were four people in total, and the number of people in favor and against was 2 to 2.

"Mr. Yu, what's your opinion?" Deputy General Manager Ding asked.

Yu Chengdong said, “What you all say makes sense. There are reasons to do this and reasons not to do it, but ultimately it comes down to whether we trust Chen Nuo or not.”

"Yes Yes."

"Mr. Yu is right."

"Now what?"

"Should we go back and discuss it further before giving a reply?"

Yu Chengdong shook his head and said, "There's no need for discussion. Didn't you hear? They've also notified ZTE and other mobile phone manufacturers. It would be best if we settled this matter now."

"Yes Yes."

"Mr. Yu is right."

"Now what?"

Alas, no matter how aggressive a corporate culture is, it can't change the fact that humans are essentially repeating the same thing over and over.

Yu Chengdong shook his head helplessly and said, "The crux of this matter is actually about people. I'm good at doing things, but I'm not good at judging people. So, let's let an expert decide."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Ren?" Yu Chengdong said respectfully into the phone, standing. "We just finished a meeting here. Here's the situation, let me report to you..."

"...So, now Mr. Ding and his team feel there's a bit of a risk..."

Yu Chengdong's expression turned serious. After listening for a while, he said loudly, "Yes, that's what I think too. It's a rare opportunity, absolutely a rare opportunity... Yes, it's worth cooperating with. That's what I think too. It's absolutely worth cooperating with... Okay, okay, goodbye, Mr. Ren."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Chengdong didn't even glance at President Ding's grim face, and said calmly, "President Ren said that Huawei will handle this matter. Not only will we do it, but we will do it beautifully. We won't return a single penny; we'll cover all 300 million, not a penny less. We don't care if we lose money. We might even do better."

"Huh? Why?" The others were all confused.

Yu Chengdong smiled and said, "President Ren said that if Chen Nuo really wanted to help us sell mobile phones, he could sell them all over the world in no time. Making him owe us a favor makes this $300 million worthwhile."

……

……

Good.

Before the meeting on the 11th, Chen Nuo received a reply from across the ocean. Therefore, he could now openly and legitimately bring up the matter at the very beginning of the meeting.

"Are you sure, Chen? They're willing to pay 300 million?!" Donna was startled.

"I am sure."

"You're not lying, are you? It really is a Chinese mobile phone company? Are there mobile phone companies in China?" Laura Thomson blurted out instinctively.

Then the next second,
Laura saw the man's face suddenly turn cold, his body, which had been leaning back in his chair, straighten up slightly, and the usual smile on his lips vanish instantly.

He pursed his lips, his mouth slightly downturned, and stared directly at me. His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable chill: "Yes, and much more than you think. Do you have a problem with that?"

Laura Thomson froze.

She never expected that her casual remark would provoke such a huge reaction.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, to explain that she hadn't meant it.

But under the man's gaze, for some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't utter a single word.

Chen Nuo was genuinely a little angry.

Damn it, these foreigners do nothing and don't help with anything, yet they're making sarcastic and cynical remarks.

“Miss Thomson, if you lack knowledge, then please enrich yourself instead of exposing your ignorance here,” Chen Nuo said coldly. “If you have intellectual or hearing problems at such a young age, then I might as well repeat myself.”

“Listen up, Laura, and everyone else.”

"The company that was willing to give me face and generously contribute an additional $300 million to save this year's Oscars from being as stingy as a beggar is a Chinese company, and mobile phones are one of its businesses."

Its name is Huawei.

"Remember, Miss Thomson, HUAWEI!"

"If your brain capacity is too limited and you really can't remember them, then I suggest you get these six letters tattooed on your body."

"Do I need to remind you? Finding sponsors is your job."

"But what have you done now?"

"Now, this company has come all the way from China to save you, to save this year's Oscars, so that it doesn't look like a pathetic gypsy circus!"

"And you, instead of being grateful and saying thank you, are questioning and challenging it?"

"Are you worthy?"

A deathly silence fell over the meeting room; everyone held their breath. Even the footsteps echoing down the hallway were clearly audible.
Donna's eyes widened, and the coffee cup in her hand froze in mid-air, as if she had forgotten to put it down.

David Hill looked down and pretended to flip through some documents.

"Answer me!" Chen Nuo said coldly, "Do you think you're worthy?"

Laura Thomson's face was deathly pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were slightly red. She was clearly trying her best to control her emotions and did not dare to look Chen Nuo in the eye.

At this moment, Donna coughed lightly and said, "Chen, she didn't do it on purpose. I believe she just... she really didn't know. If she offended you, I apologize on her behalf."

Chen Nuo said coldly, "If she doesn't know this and she doesn't know that, then what is she doing sitting here? Just as a decoration? If that's the case, then I'd rather spend money to invite Jenna Jameson here; at least her breasts would be pleasing to the eye."

Upon hearing Chen Nuo compare her to Jenna Jameson, Laura Thomson, the queen of the San Fernando Valley in the United States, could no longer hold back her tears. She covered her mouth, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

She shoved the chair away abruptly, the chair leg scraping against the floor with a piercing creak. Head down, she stumbled a few steps, almost running towards the door, frantically pulling it open and escaping the conference room.

At this point, the conference room fell completely silent.

After a while, Donna said with a wry smile, "Chen, I apologize to you on her behalf."

"No need." Chen Nuo stood up, straightened his suit collar, and said calmly, "I don't know why someone so unprofessional would appear in a place like this. I don't want to see her here again."

Throughout her career, Donna Gigliotti has dealt with countless Hollywood A-list stars, including fiery personalities like Robert De Niro, Woody Allen, and Harvey Weinstein. But this seems to be the first time she's encountered someone so ruthless and unforgiving.

It wasn't enough to publicly humiliate a young and beautiful woman like Laura Thomson; they even went so far as to kick her out of the team.

"That's it for today."

At this point, less than 20 minutes had passed since the originally planned two-hour meeting began, but Chen Nuo uttered those words very naturally, as if it were a matter of course.

"Donna, before the next meeting, I need to see three shortlisted pizza shop names. I also hope to see these two aspects properly integrated into the overall process. Huawei's representatives will be arriving in a few days, and I hope you can make appropriate arrangements to ensure our esteemed sponsor feels welcome. Do you understand?"

Donna Gigliotti immediately replied, "Yes."

Chen Nuo nodded and walked out of the conference room. Allison walked ahead of him and opened the glass door of the conference room for him.

As he walked out, Chen Nuo said calmly, "Meeting adjourned."

……

Without a doubt, this was an emotional statement from Chen Nuo.

After all, people with a mental age of 40 or so may be steady and composed, but they often lack sharpness and rarely have direct conflicts with others unless they are being bullied.

Afterwards, Chen Nuo originally thought that a public relations expert like Eileenson would think that his words were too offensive.

To everyone's surprise, Elinson clapped and cheered with a big smile on her face.

As it turns out, just as Elinson said, some foreigners really are like dogs; you really don't know who's in charge here unless you teach them a lesson.

Occasionally acting high and mighty is not a problem; on the contrary, it can make people understand the true meaning of "respect."

After he lost his temper this time, the atmosphere of the entire meeting really changed.

During the two-day meeting, a list of five candidate pizza shops was immediately placed in front of him.

Each name is followed by its location, contact information, business scale, and even the menu, all of which are appended at the end.

Who says Americans are lazy?

That's not laziness, that's being shameless!

Similarly, at the next meeting, although Chen Nuo did not call Dawn Johnson, the dark-haired beauty Laura still disappeared from the conference table.

On the 15th, several representatives from Huawei's US operations secretly traveled from Plano, Texas to the Los Angeles Oscars organizing committee's office building to sign an agreement for product placement.

$300 million is no small sum for the Oscars committee. Even a 30-second commercial break during the broadcast only costs ABC $180 million.

A Chinese mobile phone company actually spent $300 million to buy a product placement ad where neither its logo nor its name would appear. This surprised those in the know, who thought the company was being foolish.

Like a black-haired woman crying and wailing at home, cursing with resentment, this advertisement will make them lose everything.

However, Huawei employees didn't seem to care about the money at all.

When the people from the North American company arrived, they barely exchanged a few words with Chen Nuo, as if they were just there to sign an agreement.

Just before leaving, they gave Chen Nuo two unreleased smartphones. These were the new phones they planned to advertise at the Oscars, so he could get used to them beforehand.

As a result, Chen Nuo became a little nervous because the other party was so cooperative.

To ensure the final result was foolproof, after seeing off the Huawei representatives, he had to swallow his pride and make several more phone calls.

Then, right after he finished talking to Angelina Jolie on the phone, a Chinese name flashed on his phone.

Chen Nuo was taken aback, then suddenly remembered something.

Look at the time.

It's January 15th.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has finished its run in theaters.

"4.52 million." Jiang Wen chuckled on the phone. "What a close call! I almost thought I was going to lose everything again and was worried about how to explain it. But then, hey, after your Golden Horse Awards incident, I got someone to hype it up online, played the 'favor card,' and said that watching 'Let the Bullets Fly' was a way of supporting you. Guess what? We broke even!"

"It's a pity that your Twilight series was released a little too early, otherwise, I think it could have gone even further. Oh well, 4.5 million is enough. Sigh."

Hearing Jiang Wen say that, Chen Nuo was truly distressed.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" should have been a huge success, but it barely broke even.

What the hell is going on here?
Chen Nuo felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Jiang... sigh, how about this? I... I'll help you find a distributor in North America, and you can have the film shown here for a while, how about that? I'll help you with advertising and stuff, I'll definitely do anything for you."

As soon as he said that, Jiang Wen burst into laughter without a care in the world.

While laughing, he spoke to someone next to him in his deep voice, "See, I told you he would say that, didn't I? Damn it, foreign countries are his home base, he knows it very well, it's just that we country bumpkins are ignorant."

Chen Nuo was stunned, said "hello" several times, and then Jiang Wen answered the phone.

"what happened?"

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "Damn it, I'm just kidding. I've finally realized what an international superstar is. What it means to be popular abroad but not at home. Nuozi, we don't need you anymore. Do you know that we've contacted Lionsgate in North America recently? I don't know what got into them, but after watching the film, they actually thought it could be sold and offered a buyout price of $180 million. They're even planning to submit it for next year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"And in Europe too, France offered 120 million euros, Germany offered 90 euros, and BBC Films in the UK offered 75 pounds. In total, we sold 400 million euros across Europe, including Italy!"

"Plus Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and other messy countries."

"Guess how much we made in the end?"

"Damn it, almost 900 million, US dollars!"

"Brother, I'm so ignorant! I never thought I'd be earning US dollars one day. I've been wanting to call you for days, but I've been holding back until now!"

"That's great, making money off foreigners! No wonder you've been working in America all this time! Seriously, if you ever have the chance, take me under your wing, Nuo-ge!"
