Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 272 Old Li Advances to a Billion-Dollar Tycoon
This is the evening of the celebration party.

Old Li was particularly interested in receiving senior engineers from AVIC, CRRC, and CRRC.

They were very enthusiastic and serious.

It was discovered that the grandchildren of several prominent figures are fans of celebrities.

Old Li asked Liu Shishi to act as an introducer and lead a few young people to chase after celebrities.

Regardless of which celebrity or actor you like, you can ask for a photo or autograph.

With Master Shi leading the way, everything went smoothly.

An engineer from Zhongbei Group took a sip of tea and smiled, "Mr. Li, we're sorry to trouble you, but we old men don't mind."

"This is all because the little guy found out we know you by accident, and he's been driving us crazy at home."

Despite saying that, this big shot was still quite pleased.

His granddaughter is only 16 years old this year, and she is at the peak of her idol worship.

I'm completely out of touch with this old man in my daily life; there's a generation gap between us, and we can't have a single conversation.

Old Li offered tea, saying, "No trouble at all. If you need anything similar in the future, just let me know. I'll have Shishi add Xiao Wang's QQ number and leave her phone number."

China's preparations for war and its development 20 years later.

This is shocking!

Otherwise, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese wouldn't have had so many tricks up their sleeves.

All kinds of things that fly in the sky and swim in the sea?
Without those things, no matter how rich you are, you're just food in the mouths of American capital, to be eaten whenever they want.

Aren't those the result of generations of engineers like Wang and Zhang who researched, designed, produced, and manufactured them?
By the way, Engineer Wang from Zhongbei is a senior engineer.

Having met several times before, Lao Li and Engineer Wang and others found themselves getting more and more engrossed and happy with each conversation.

For example, you can control a drone with a camera to hover and fly from a kilometer away.

Airborne AK-type small toys.

How can computer-controlled shooting be achieved?

The transformation from manually triggering a mouse to sitting in front of a computer and clicking is a minor but significant change.

There are also questions about how to handle recoil and stability.

The drone was thrown off its original firing angle by the recoil, leaving an opening.

Should we manually adjust the position using the computer again?
Alternatively, we could write software to automate the computer's recalculation and processing of position adjustments.

From small items like airborne Black Star and AK-47 toys.

Larger sizes have other options.

As radio technology continues to advance...?

Anyway, Lao Li has been having a lot of fun at some experimental sites and research bases lately.

In 08, Beijing was selected as a pilot city to promote 3G mobile phone signals.

Old Li even considered talking to the major telecommunications companies to push things forward ahead of schedule.

However, after he entered one amazing research institute or scientific research center after another...

It was determined that those areas already had widespread 3G wireless coverage.

4G signals are still under development.

Old Li's experience of using 3G was quite pleasant.

This is roughly equivalent to the market-level maturity of drones and then robot dogs many years later.

Excited, Lao Li optimized the control system again with another version.

In public, in this occasion, and in my capacity.

He and engineers like Wang and Zhang are only good at chatting about everyday things and entertainment news.

But Lao Li had already made his decision.

We aim to develop software within one or two years that allows drones to automatically recalculate and adjust their firing angle after experiencing recoil.

This requires advancing AI algorithms and moving towards research and development in the field of artificial intelligence.

Old Li is still very passionate and motivated about this toy version.

…………

The celebration banquet.

Liu Shishi, accompanied by a young girl, helped the other party take a photo with Liu Yifei and signed the autograph.

She then led her people to meet other people.

Wang Gong's eldest granddaughter is a big fan of Fatty Bing and Li Jiaxin, but Ah Xin hasn't come yet.

Fan Bingbing was still busy hosting the entire event with Tong Liya.

For the next tier, it's up to you.

After Xiao Shishi ran away.

Yang Mi quickly arrived behind Liu Yifei, "Qianqian, have you finished filming (Zodiac)?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "No, there are many action scenes that Brother Long isn't satisfied with yet, we'll take our time filming."

"I flew back specifically to attend the celebration banquet. Congratulations, Sister Tong."

"By the way, what was Senior Sister carrying just now?"

Yang Mi shrugged. "I don't know. She won't tell me even when I ask her. It seems like she's a descendant of those old men the boss is entertaining."

She gestured with her eyes.

Liu Yifei glanced at it a few times, but didn't recognize it at all.

But observing Li Wenyu's demeanor when interacting with those individuals...

She had a feeling that those grandfathers were probably all people of considerable importance.

Liu Yifei was still lost in thought.

Huang Shengyi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gave a brief greeting, and lowered his voice to say, "It's probably confirmed that Senior Brother gave Sister Bingbing about 20 billion in pocket money."

"Mimi, Qianqian, you both have good friends. Do you know how much Shishi or Xuanjie took?"

"I'm not after money, I'm just curious that they're not unhappy at all, and don't throw tantrums or act up."

"It's understandable if one person is like this, but if a group of people are like this? Senior brother probably didn't divide up all the family property, right?"

"This is purely gossip, just watching the drama unfold."

Huang Shengyi received the lead role in "Crossing the Guandong" in February.

Many scenes need to be filmed in the snow and ice, but fortunately, there are still many places in Northeast China with snow in February and March.

Filming for this TV series has been on and off, and it won't resume until the snow season this winter.

We also need to film a lot of snow scenes, including those related to the storyline.

She felt that her acting career had been too arduous.

As she spoke, Yang Mi suddenly became energetic, almost as if she had exploded with energy.

Liu Yifei glanced furtively around, her face showing embarrassment. "If someone overhears us talking about this and it gets out, be careful the boss or one of the ladies might give us a hard time."

Yang Mi, who was holding a drink, had her momentum interrupted.

Huang Shengyi gave Liu Yifei a speechless look. "You're right, I'm not talking to you anymore."

A quick glance around the venue revealed a new target: Li Jiaxin, Wang Zuxian, and Zhang Bozhi were chatting and laughing as they entered the hall.

Huang Shengyi quickly ran off to snag some gossip and munch on the drama.

Yang Mi glared at Liu Yifei with disdain and then went to eat some melon seeds.

Liu Yifei felt numb all over for a few seconds, then started to follow.

At this moment, the celebration banquet hall was filled with people converging on Li Jiaxin or in other directions.

…………

Another location in the hall.

Zhou Huimin and Liu Xiaoli, who were with Qiu Shuzhen, were toasting He Qing.

There are also quite a few people in the industry around here, both in front of and behind the camera.

Quite a few people wanted to come over and chat with them.

Seeing that these veteran actresses were chatting happily, others felt embarrassed to disturb them.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhou Huimin asked curiously, "Sister Qing, you're the most well-informed among us, even more so than Sister Xin..."

"How much pocket money did she get to be so well-behaved and not cause trouble with Sister Bingbing?"

He Qing said, both amused and exasperated, "I didn't expect you to be so gossipy, Amin. Couldn't you have been won over by her talent and charm?"

"Although Sister Xin still says it's because of her special constitution, she should exercise more."

"But look at my example and Sister Xian's example. We can talk about feelings without talking about money."

He Qing knew certain things; she was also extremely gossipy.

At present, Fat Bing has more than 20 billion in extra pocket money.

Li Jiaxin's net worth is less than 5 million.

But this isn't about giving you money.

Ah Xin bought Yunnan Baiyao in July 2003, with 4.2% of the shares being purchased with a loan.

It cost 1.09 million, and those shares are currently aiming for a market value of 4 million.

The company's net profit increased by more than 200% over three years.

In 04, Ah Xin also bought Pien Tze Huang, which had a 4%+ increase in value, but its value hasn't appreciated much since.

But when Dong Xuan, Xiao Tong, and Liu Shishi got on the bus one after another.

They joined Weibo's investment department in investing in Apple Inc. in the United States.

People generally have limited capital. For example, Liu Shishi only became a sensation in October 2004 when Goblin premiered.

A single advertising endorsement can generate millions of yuan a year.

We also have to pay taxes and have our share taken by time.

If you can get a few more ads and earn 20 to 30 million yuan in after-tax income, then compared to that, Fat Bing's money is nothing.

The value of buying Apple products has increased from 30 million to 60 million.

They have a stable mindset, mainly because Lao Li said that Apple's market value would soon continue to surge.

It will soon go from its current market value of nearly 60 billion US dollars to 70 or 80 billion US dollars, and then to over 100 billion US dollars.

The current profit margin of over 100% will increase to 200% and then to 300%.

Fat Bing earned the most.

But Lao Li's girlfriends are all about a steady, calm, and slow-paced attitude.

Whether it's movie or TV series revenue or advertising income, save it up and invest it according to Lao Li's guidance.

Not as good as Fat Ice? That's perfectly normal.

This is already far more advanced than countless people in the industry.

After Lao Li finished speaking to He Qing, he asked her if she wanted to save some money to invest.
It's too late to buy an Apple product now.

Old Li recommended that she buy Sinopec shares.

Currently, Sinopec's market capitalization on the Hong Kong stock exchange is over HK$370 billion. Mr. Li is quite optimistic that Sinopec can break the HK$1 trillion mark in 2007.

Or you could buy a China Construction Bank account.

建行在06年8月市值7700亿，老李感觉07年破1.5万亿不难。

These are all national-level forces.

If He Qing gets involved now, turning 2 million into 4 or 5 million in a year will be easy.

If you invest 20 million after taxes, it will turn into 40 to 50 million in just over a year.

He Qing refused.

She felt that she was still Lao Li's good sex partner, and that they could help each other.

She was curious and envious of Lao Li's superhuman physique and skills.

Helping someone with even a small favor is also a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

Love is definitely not suitable; that's the biggest difference between her and Ah Xin, and then Shi Shi, among others.

She is a mother with a five-year-old son.

From the first time she flirted with him and sent him beautiful pictures, she never thought about dating.

She didn't want her son to suspect that, besides earning money through acting and shooting commercials, she also...

Where does the ability to make a fortune come from?

He Qing hoped that her friendship with Lao Li would be purely platonic, based on physical intimacy rather than emotional connection.

It's good enough to maintain our shared love of marathons.

He Qing has used Teddy Bear and Little People series to take on advertising, etc.

After a few years of hard work, becoming a billionaire after taxes would be a wonderful thing.

Her son has custody with her ex-husband, and she will not interfere.

In ten or twenty years, if Uncle Li helps the child out a little, it will be perfect.

Now, He Qing will not speak carelessly to outsiders.

She also felt that the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong, Ah Yan, must have been completely conquered by Lao Li's talent, charm, and ability.

It's not about how much money they have, that's why they're so quiet and well-behaved.

Old Li's method of testing made He Qing, this aunt-like person, lose three to five pounds every day.

They are far more addicted to online games than the average person.

Ah Xin was treated like this for four and a half years, from her heart to the tips of her hair.

It's already completely in Li Wenyu's form.

Based on her words, Zhou Huimin, Liu Xiaoli, and Qiu Shuzhen all clearly did not believe her.

He Qing took a sip of champagne and laughed, "Don't you believe me? As far as I know, look at Xiao Shishi running around all over the place. Her total net worth after taxes is definitely less than 100 million."

"This is an astronomical figure for ordinary people."

"No, it was an astronomical figure for me last year too, but do you think Shishi's happiness and joy are fake?"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes widened. "Less than 100 million? Sister Qing, you're really talking big."

How old is Liu Shishi? How long has she been with Lao Li?

What a wonderful adjective! Less than 100 million?!

Chiu Shu-chen, “…”

Zhou Huimin, "..."

They came to this celebration party not only to make some new connections, but also because they really wanted cosmetic surgery.

Amin and Azhen are doing well.

When Liu Xiaoli and He Qing stand together, the difference is that Liu Xiaoli is almost fifty and He Qing is a young woman in her late twenties.

It's so sinful.

He Qing was speechless and shook his head, saying, "It's only a matter of time before your Qianqian becomes famous."

"In just a few years, you can earn millions from a single advertising endorsement. If Sister Lin's price isn't high, she can earn tens of millions by taking on 20 advertisements a year."

This is the celebration banquet tonight.

No matter how many people are gossiping about Fat Bing's allowance or wondering about others' spending habits.

Regardless of how many trends and topics it sparked.

The most important core is still Tong Liya, and then the other main creators of (Meet You) drama.

At the celebration banquet, Fan Bingbing, Xiao Tong, and Li Wenyu smashed the 6 million ice sculpture together.

Fat Bing handed over a check for 1666 million yuan as a red envelope to Xiao Tong on the spot, witnessed by cameras and video recorders.

Old Li gifted real estate, land, and luxury cars.

The entire celebration was a gradual ascent to the peak.

Occasionally, a group photo circulates online, triggering a frenzy among countless fans.

…………

It's 8:30 a.m. on a new day.

Old Li is still helping Sister He sober up, turning her from a beauty into a wooden fish.

A text message notification popped up on my phone not far away.

Old Li glanced sideways, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Why did Samsung's Lee Jae-yong suddenly show up here?"

This is a message relayed by Quan Zhixian.

Xiao Quan didn't come to the celebration party for "Before I Met You" because she was filming "The Legend of the Blue Sea" on the Peninsula.

The male lead for this idol drama was finally decided to be Chen Xiao, and the second male lead to be Jin Shijia.

The second female lead, who is also the male lead's wicked stepmother, was played by Rosamund Kwan, and the third female lead was played by Tang Wei.

Do you think the role of a wicked stepmother is good?

This is mainly because the second female lead became very popular during the original broadcast.

It has nothing to do with the villainous stepmother character; the second female lead is over 50 years old when she plays the role.

She became popular for her youthful appearance.

This benefits the same for Ms. Guan, who is 44 years old this year and has been taking medicine and practicing boxing for more than a year, and whose youthful appearance has returned to that of a 36 or 37-year-old.

She could also reinvent her image by playing a wealthy socialite.

This kind of endorsement of luxury clothing brands can also be very helpful when it comes to other famous brands.

Despite her doubts, Li Wenyu arrived at the president's office 20 minutes later.

After he made Lee Jae-yong a cup of tea and exchanged brief pleasantries,

Samsung's Executive Director Lee readily agreed, "Mr. Lee, I'm here to discuss financing for Time Media, 20% of HK$100 billion."

"If you think it's too low, we can negotiate up to 150 billion."

The 20% of 150 billion valuation puts Time Media at 750 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Huayi Brothers originally planned to go public at the end of 2009, with an initial market value of 80-90 billion yuan, which would eventually reach 10 billion yuan.

The peak was over 700 billion in 2015.

The problem is that Time Media and the original Huayi Brothers are not the same thing at all.

Take, for example, the Hangover series, Teddy Bear, John Wick series, and Little Man.

Then came a series of wildly popular American dramas, becoming the king of idol dramas that swept across East and Southeast Asia.

The Hangover trilogy is very likely to gross over 100 billion RMB worldwide.

Not to mention the five- to ten-year management contracts of Huang Xiaoming and a series of other idol actors, both big and small, who are currently filming The Legend of the Blue Sea.

This offer propelled Lao Li's assets to a staggering 100 billion RMB.

Li Wenyu chuckled, "Executive Li, we're not short of money right now. Give me a dozen of the most advanced lithography machines and I'll consider it."

For him, money has become nothing more than a number.

Lee Jae-yong coughed loudly and picked up his teacup to drink.

He then put down the cup, looking speechless.
