Chapter 273 A Strange Gift

With Professor Zhou's intervention, Suning obviously found that the outside public opinion had calmed down. Now Su Media already owns three directors, John Woo, Kong Sheng and Chen Jian, and they each purchased 8% of Su Media's shares at an equal price. Together with the 5% shares donated by Suning to Professor Zhou, Suning still owns 71% of the shares.

Kong Sheng and Chen Jian have been busy filming the military drama "Drawing Sword" and still use the main original cast as in the original time and space. After all, these old actors are so awesome, and they are not willing to force any changes.

As for John Woo, he is now just a mascot of Suning Media, and his mind is still on Hollywood in the United States. Of course, if Suning wants to win major awards abroad in the future, it can be left to John Woo.

When Suning returned home from school, he immediately noticed something unusual at home. After looking around carefully, he realized that all of Gao Dayuan's personal belongings were gone.

Although Su Ning had seen all kinds of women, including many unfaithful ones, he had never thought that Gao Dayuan would always be with him. But after the incident really happened, Su Ning still found it difficult to understand how Gao Dayuan could be so "rational".

It is always difficult for men to like women who are too "rational". Suning, who was originally reluctant to let go, was now chilled by Gao Dayuan's behavior.

Seeing a letter and house keys on the coffee table, Suning put away his keys and did not bother to read the letter. Instead, he tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

Suning suddenly realized that material and physical strength cannot conquer a woman. Women are actually the most complex creatures. Sometimes they themselves may not know what kind of life they want.

At this time, Suning was very angry. He couldn't help but think of the TV dramas he watched before. The protagonists in the TV dramas often used "explosive buying" to relieve their worries. At that time, he still didn't understand this behavior.

But now that he was really feeling down, Suning also had the idea of going on a shopping spree. He thought that he needed to keep a low profile for the next period of time. Apart from the big-budget "Drawing Sword", he had temporarily stopped other projects. Therefore, the more than 70 million US dollars in the account were temporarily useless. He might as well take out part of it to buy a house.

The next day, Suning came to the sales office of Beiyuan Home Phase II. Without wasting time talking to the ordinary sales staff, he directly called the sales manager Zhang Cheng, who was also an acquaintance.

"Mr. Su, long time no see!"

"Hello! Manager Zhang!
I came here to buy a house this time!"

"Okay! Mr. Su, you are also an old customer of our Beiyuan Home!

I heard that your second house has been renovated?"

"Yes! It's already been renovated!

But I bought a lot of houses this time, I wonder if you can make the decision?"

"Oh? How many sets does Mr. Su want to buy this time?" Hearing Su Ning's tone, Zhang Cheng didn't care at all, but was a little surprised.

"." Suning didn't say anything, but just stretched out five fingers.

"What? Five houses?

How about this!
Mr. Su, I can give you a 9.2% discount!

And all of them will be given free fine decoration! "

"Haha, it's not five sets! It's five buildings!"

"What?" Zhang Cheng was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. Fortunately, this was Zhang Cheng's office, otherwise the sales lady outside would have gone crazy.

Zhang Cheng swallowed hard, then looked at Suning carefully. When he found that Suning was not joking with him, Zhang Cheng started to think quickly.

"Mr. Su, you are really generous this time!

you're right!

I really can't make the decision!
Mr. Su, can you allow me to call my superiors?"

"Sure! Manager Zhang, please feel free to do as you wish!"

With Suning's permission, Zhang Cheng picked up the phone on his desk. When he was about to dial the number, he suddenly froze there. After a while, Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and dialed the boss's private number directly without going through his superiors.

"Boss Han, I'm Zhang Cheng!"

“Yes! Yes!

Mr. Suning, an old customer of our Beiyuan Home, wants to purchase five residential buildings in the second phase!
Therefore, I cannot make the decision! I have come to ask for your instructions!"

"Yep!

OK! I got it!
Goodbye, boss!

Soon, Zhang Cheng hung up the phone excitedly and looked at Su Ning with a smile, "Mr. Su, our boss, Mr. Han Ming, invites you to dinner tonight.

As for buying a house, we will discuss it in detail later."

"Alright!"

Of course, Suning had heard of Han Ming from Beijing. He knew that Han Ming had great influence in Beijing and was a local tyrant. Although he had no intention of entering the real estate industry in this life, it did not prevent him from having a good relationship with such a big shot.

Following Zhang Cheng to a famous restaurant in Beijing, Suning met the famous Han Ming in a private room with an auspicious number. After some polite greetings, Suning and Han Ming soon became brothers.

"Brother Su, since you are so optimistic about the real estate in Beijing, why don't you enter the real estate industry yourself?"

"Haha, I have a bad habit of never making money beyond my knowledge!"

"Haha, Brother Su!

I think you don’t need to do this!
If you have any concerns, you might as well invest in my brother's Mingfa Real Estate."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Brother Han!
I mainly don’t want to get involved in all aspects of real estate, as I feel that those things are too troublesome!”

Although Suning did not say it explicitly, Han Ming still understood what Suning meant. Real estate can easily be involved in various gray interests, and it is indeed difficult to stay clean.

In the previous few worlds, Suning has certainly been involved in real estate and knows that money can be easily made in real estate, but it also requires itself to be ruthless, otherwise it will only become a "small shrimp" swallowed by the "big fish".

In fact, Suning believes that the profit from real estate development is not as fast as the appreciation of real estate. Since he has decided to enjoy his life, why bother working hard for a few pieces of silver?

"Brother Su, I understand what you mean!

You don’t want to get involved in the troubles of real estate!
But your consideration makes sense. The real estate industry is very treacherous!"

"Haha, thank you, Brother Han, for your understanding!"

"Brother Su, the five units are discounted at 8.5%!
And all of them come with fine decoration!

The five units selected at the south gate of Beiyuan Garden are just right for Brother Su's management! "

"Thank you, Brother Han!

No wonder Brother Han can make his business so big! "

"Haha, Brother Su, stop flattering me!

I am far behind Brother Su in age!"

Suning's big move completely shocked the real estate industry in Beijing. Some real estate tycoons in Beijing were trying to inquire about Suning's background. Han Ming, knowing that Suning wanted to keep a low profile, naturally chose to help conceal it.

However, Han Ming's concealment of information made the outside world's speculation even more confusing. People tried their best to find out the news, which also caused a small increase in Beijing's housing prices at the end of 03.

Many newspapers also published news reports titled "Mysterious Rich Man Buys Five Apartment Buildings in Beiyuan Home", followed by a wave of crazy public opinion, and ordinary residents sighed that the world of the rich is really good.

After spending 10 or 20 million US dollars in one go, Suning felt much more comfortable. It no longer felt sad about Gao Dayuan's departure and its energy was returned to study and work.

The filming of "Bright Sword" progressed very quickly, and Suning also took the time to visit the set. He took the opportunity to meet veteran actors such as Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei, and became good friends with them.

"Mr. Su, why don't you also play a role in 'Drawing Sword'?" Kong Sheng suddenly suggested with a smile.

After hearing Kong Sheng's suggestion, Suning was still very tempted, but he didn't want to ruin this wonderful drama by forcing himself to participate, so Suning still refused.

"Forget it! I don't have any acting talent, don't ruin the atmosphere of the whole show because of me!" "Haha, Mr. Su, you worry too much!
Actually, Mr. Su, your personal image is quite good, and it fits the role of Ding Wei in "Bright Sword" very well!"

"Ding Wei?"

Suning was really tempted, because Ding Wei's appearances and roles were not many, and there was absolutely no problem for him to replace the actor Wang Quanyou from the original time and space.

At this time, Li Youbin beside him also persuaded, "Boss Su, I think what Director Kong said makes sense!

Originally, the crew contacted Wang Quanyou to play the role of Ding Wei, but he recently had a new drama and his schedule could not be changed for the time being.

Why don't we just stop waiting for him and let you, Mr. Su, play the role of Ding Wei!"

"Haha, since you said so, Teacher Li!

Then I'll give it a try!

But let’s make it clear in advance!

Teacher Li, please don't be disgusted by my clumsy acting skills!"

"Haha, how could that be!
Everyone on the "Drawing Sword" crew knows that you, Mr. Su, are our boss. No one dares to be blind!"

Next, Suning joined the crew of "Bright Sword". I don't know what Kong Sheng and Chen Jian were thinking, but they kept adding scenes to themselves. Suning realized it later and immediately stopped them from adding more scenes, otherwise "Bright Sword" would have become a story with two male protagonists.

In fact, Kong Sheng and Chen Jian did not keep adding scenes for Suning just because he was the boss. It was more because they found during the filming that Suning had a deep understanding of the role, and his interpretation of Ding Wei became more and more perfect after the initial awkwardness.

Seeing that Suning refused to add more scenes, Kong Sheng and Chen Jian still felt a little unsatisfied, because they felt that it would be nice to continue the magical changes.

Suning attached great importance to this TV series. From the beginning, he instructed Kong Sheng and Chen Jian to shoot each episode as if it were a movie, and not to be afraid to spend money to make a classic worth pondering.

Now seeing that Suning automatically refused to add more scenes just to better present "Drawing Sword", Kong Sheng and Chen Jian understood more clearly that Suning valued this drama. They were more attentive in the subsequent filming and it can be said that they used all their "eighteen martial arts" to the best of their ability.

The changes made by the two cinematographers, Kong Sheng and Chen Jian, also affected every actor in the crew, and they all began to take the drama seriously.

The Spring Festival of 04 is just a few days away. After the students go on vacation, the Beijing Film Academy becomes quiet again. I originally thought that Gao Dayuan would accompany me to celebrate the New Year this year, but I didn't expect that I would still be alone to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Because the Spring Festival is approaching, the crew of "Bright Sword" has already gone on vacation. Suning, who has nothing to do, rejected the invitation of Huang Lei and Sun Li and still chose to be a "homebody" at home.

What Suning didn't expect was that the sudden appearance of a person completely broke the peace of his life and made this Spring Festival extremely exciting.

"Powell, why are you in the capital?"

"Oh! My Sue! I finally see you!
Do you know how much trouble I went through just to find out your address?"

"Powell, it seems you are in trouble?" Looking at the trafficker who appeared inexplicably in front of him, Suning suddenly realized that a net appeared around him.

"No! Sue, I'm fine! I've never been better!"

"Haha, that's good!
I have always been afraid of trouble!
Even if you encounter any difficulties, I can't help you!" Suning reminded Powell meaningfully.

"Oh! my friend!
Look at what you said!

I'm grateful that you helped me make such a lot of money last time, so I came here to give you a gift to thank you!"

"Gift?" Suning was a little confused, wondering when the Americans became so conscientious.

"Yes! A perfect gift for you!

Now it is waiting for you, its master, at the port of Tianjin!"

"Powell, what are you up to?" Suning looked at Powell in confusion.

Although they knew that Powell had no good intentions, after all, if there was no benefit, he would not have come all the way from the United States, but Suning was unable to refuse his goodwill for the time being, and could only take it one step at a time and wait for him to make a move.

Suning followed Powell to the nearby Tianjin Port, and was then taken to a huge container. Several Chinese workers forcefully opened the container, revealing the gift Powell mentioned.

"Powell, are you sure this is a gift for me?" Suning, who had seen many storms, was also shocked when he saw the behemoth in front of him.

“Haha, yes!

Marchi Mobile Electronic Palace.

You are a director and the owner of a film and television company, so this gift is very suitable for you!"

“Powell, I understand this Marchi costs around three hundred dollars.

I don't think I'm worth your effort!

Come on, Powell! What do you want?

"Su, you are so smart!

You're right, I'm in trouble now.

There is a backlog of nearly $500 million worth of goods!"

“Haha, I can’t handle such a big business!
It seems you have found the wrong person, Powell!"

“Su, I know you are a person with energy!

You can definitely help me deal with it!"

"I'm sorry! I'm just a director!
It seems you have misunderstood my identity!"

"Su, what on earth will you do to help me?
I can give you a 40% commission!"

"Haha, I really can't help you!" Suning almost laughed out loud when he knew Powell's plan.

"Su, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!

If it is not dealt with in time!
I will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish by the big boss behind me!"

"Powell, I sympathize with your situation!
But I really can’t do anything!”

"Powell, let's do this!

I'll take this March, and of course I'll give you $3.5 million!"

"Su, are you really unwilling to help me?"

"I'm sorry! Powell, I'm not the businessman you imagined!" Suning smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Suning has determined that this is a trap set against itself. It is not difficult to guess that it is the sequelae of the last Hong Kong crew. It seems that Powell has cooperated with some people.

Suning guessed that the Hong Kong police and even Interpol might have their sights on him, but he had no evidence, so he deliberately set a trap for himself so that he could catch them red-handed.

Five hundred million US dollars, these idiots really think highly of me. Not to mention that my storage space can't hold so much, even if the space is infinite, I won't be so stupid as to fall into the trap.

Suning directly wrote Powell a check for 3.5 million US dollars, and then drove back to Beijing in a fully fueled March. The reason why he gave Powell an extra 500,000 US dollars was that he had already completed the most troublesome customs clearance procedures.

To be honest, Powell is really smart, or the Interpol behind him is smart and knows clearly what he likes, so they sent him a top-of-the-line RV to suit his taste.

At this time, Suning suddenly had the idea of getting rid of Powell. Only in this way could they warn these self-righteous guys, and it had to be done silently so that they would feel fear.
