My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1294 Doing Business Part 3
"Are you really that afraid Bao'er will do something rash?!"

After her husband hung up the phone, Lin Bao'er's mother, Qian Linlin, asked with a smile.

I'm not worried that your daughter might do something rash.

Lin Shirong sat at the tea table.

His gaze fell on the bright red goji berry water on the tea table. One cup of tea, half of which was goji berries. This was hardly goji berry water; it was just goji berries soaked in water.

He pushed the glass of goji berry water aside a little, feeling much better, before finally saying, "I think she made a foolish decision in a moment of madness."

"What a blunder!?"

Qian Linlin asked, puzzled.

Subsequently.

She sat opposite her husband, then pushed the goji berry water he had offered her back towards him, saying, "You can drink goji berry water while you talk; it's more nutritious than your regular tea."

"I just had lunch recently, so I'm not lacking in nutrition."

Lin Shirong strongly resisted his wife's behavior.

Soaking in the water at night is fine.

She had just finished lunch, and she still made him a cup of tea. Men make tea to cultivate their character, but making goji berries... that's for depleting their bodies. And at his age, how many men can resist their wives doing this to them?

This can no longer be salvaged by goji berries; it requires... abstaining from women.

"Just drink it when I tell you to! Stop asking so many questions!"

Qian Linlin replied with dissatisfaction.

Forced into a corner, Lin Shirong had no choice but to put down the water cup with the duck pattern engraved on it and pick up the goji berry water instead. He had been forced by his wife to drink goji berries for so long... he was afraid they weighed at least 90 pounds if not 100.

Because he had been drinking it for a long time, Lin Shirong not only became proficient in brewing tea, but also had a good understanding of the quality of goji berries. He could even tell whether goji berries had been treated with sulfur as soon as he brewed a cup.

Good quality goji berries have a yellow or white navel area, a smooth and slightly sweet taste, and those treated with sulfur are not easy to disperse. If you rub them with a little water on your hands, they will bleed color.

That stuff not only doesn't provide any health benefits, but drinking too much of it can actually cause serious health problems. Meanwhile, the goji berries his wife bought him were top-quality, great for making soup, but harmful when used to make tea.

After taking a couple of sips, Lin Shirong said, "My main concern is that your daughter won't treat the verbal agreement as a real one. If she does, it might seem like she's made a profit, but... it seems Zhang You hasn't signed the revised agreement between me and the shareholders yet. If she does this, he'll definitely leave. But that kid is really ruthless, daring to ask for such a high production copyright fee."

talking.

Lin Shirong sighed softly and said, "Even if it weren't Bao'er this time, if I were to personally handle it, I would dare to set my expected price at a maximum of thirty-five million US dollars."

The market is the market.

Even though "Special Voice" has high viewership ratings overseas.

They made a lot of money from sponsorships, but the production costs were still there. Foreign singers' appearance fees were so high that the appearance fees for five or six participating singers alone would be at least 200 million US dollars.

So he said that the producers of "Special Voices" were not stupid to sell the production rights to the show for three million US dollars, and they really weren't stupid. Rather, sometimes sellers always have a misconception: that what they sell is the best.

Just like movies, which entertainment company would think that the thing they've spent so much money to produce is bad? If they really thought it was bad, they wouldn't have made it. It's precisely because they think it's good that they've spent so much money on it.

But sometimes that's how the market works; it's not up to the sellers to decide. Ultimately, the decision rests with the buyers. No matter how good you think your film is, it's useless if the audience is willing to pay. Only if the audience is willing to pay can it be considered a good film. If they don't pay, no matter how good the entertainment company claims it is, it still can't hide the fact that it's rubbish.

"Then how come Zhang You can sell it for four thousand three hundred and fifty US dollars!?"

"Qian Linlin asked."

He dares to overturn the table.

Lin Shirong laughed and said, "It gave the foreign TV station the illusion that since the talks didn't go well this morning, they really wouldn't continue. But actually... to call it an illusion isn't entirely true. They really have the capability. At worst, they can just not sell. It's only a little over 300 million. I guess the people from the foreign TV station did some research on the investors of 'The Voice of China' before they came here, and they know that this kid is quite wealthy and not the kind of person who's short of money."

"He's very wealthy!?"

Qian Linlin asked curiously.

"high"

Lin Shirong glanced at his wife and continued, "His earnings are outrageous. Last year, this kid bought a lot of company stock, and now those stocks have at least tripled or quadrupled in value. It seems he not only bought Meiying stock but also acquired shares from the two existing shareholders. Meiying's new phones are sold out, and many platforms are out of stock. The headphones are even more outrageous; orders are booked until the second half of the year. Besides, he also owns a studio, and he's still making money. That song you heard the other day, 'She Came to My Concert,' was sung by this kid. In terms of songs, every song he releases becomes a hit, earning him a lot of money from that alone. The key is that he keeps making money. Conservatively speaking, this kid's total assets should be over four billion now."

"..."

Qian Linlin was immediately surprised.

Compared to Zhang You's current fame and influence, his assets of over 4 billion yuan are far more impactful.

Then, Qian Linlin remembered something, and her expression became even more surprised. She said, "I remember this kid is about the same age as our Bao'er, right?!"

"Um"

Lin Shirong nodded in agreement, then laughed and said, "That's not the most impressive thing. The most impressive thing is that this kid only started to put away his rascally personality and get serious two years ago. At this rate, I estimate that in two years at most, his personal net worth will exceed 10 billion."

"impossible!?"

Qian Linlin was somewhat skeptical.

"Nothing is impossible. 'Crazy Stone' will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's a comedy, and with 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' grossing 2.2 billion yuan, as long as the quality is up to par, it might not only surpass that box office, but it could even surpass 'The Truman Show's' 3.7 billion yuan."

Lin Shirong said with a smile.

He was well aware that the film market was currently very cold.

But the clearer he understood, the more he realized that this was also an opportunity. If all the films were released, theaters would hesitate in scheduling them, but in the current situation, they didn't hesitate at all.

This makes it easier for the strong to get stronger and the weak to get weaker. It's often said that moviegoers don't come to the movies, and that's true... But the Spring Festival season, especially with comedies, combines these two aspects, which are two attributes that make it easy to create a blockbuster movie.

There's still "The Vanished Her" left. It seems that his daughter and Feitian signed a performance-based agreement for this project. Just thinking about it makes Lin Shirong feel a bit choked up.

So Zhang You got married.

Otherwise... Bao'er would be a good wife and mother.

The boss of Tianyu Entertainment made things difficult for her.
