My capital is quite large.

Inside the first-class cabin of the flight from Yanjing to Shenzhen, the air was so quiet that only the low rumble of the engine could be heard.

Liu Yifei sat in the large airline seat, his posture slightly stiff.

Before boarding the plane, she had actually done a lot of mental preparation.

After all, in this industry, those bigwigs who spend a lot of money to promote female stars often make suggestive remarks when they are alone.

However, more than an hour has passed since the plane took off, and Li Feng, who is sitting in the next seat, has not even glanced at her.

Li Feng simply leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rested, as if spending 45 million to buy her was nothing more than casually buying a cabbage at the market, not worth him putting in any extra effort to chat her up.

This cold reception, which made the usually glamorous and doted-on "Fairy Sister" feel both relieved and inevitably created a subtle sense of disappointment.

"Boss."

Zhang Xinyu, sitting in the front row, turned around, holding a slim laptop that had just been used to organize data. She broke the silence softly, "This month's financial and operational summaries are out. Would you like to hear them now?"

Li Feng gave a faint "hmm" to signal her to continue.

Zhang Xinyu immediately got into character, her voice clear and crisp:

"Firstly, regarding the gaming business, the recently launched 'Fruit Ninja' is currently incredibly popular, with an astonishing growth rate in global downloads! It's currently ranked second on the popularity charts, only behind 'Angry Birds.' However, in terms of monetization, it's temporarily ranked third, behind 'Angry Birds' and 'Fishing Joy.'"

"Cut the Rope" targets a younger audience and is a casual puzzle game, and its current data is at the bottom of our company's four games.

Li Feng remained silent, clearly having anticipated this ranking.

Zhang Xinyu turned the page and continued her report:

"Currently, after deducting the expense of signing Ms. Liu, the company account still has approximately 50 million."

"However, the good news is that our legal department just finished verifying the bills with Apple headquarters yesterday. This month, overseas game payments through Apple's channels are estimated to reach $20 million! They should be legally deposited into our foreign exchange account next week!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei, who was sitting upright, suddenly gasped for breath, and a look of shock flashed in his clear, cold phoenix eyes!

Twenty million... US dollars?!

That's nearly 140 million RMB! And that's just one month's profit surplus?!

Liu Yifei's heart began to race involuntarily.

She recalled that yesterday, her godfather Chen Fei was driven to desperation and almost jumped off a building because of a mere 40 million yuan funding gap.

In traditional retail and film industries, tens of millions are enough to drive a former Forbes billionaire to his death.

But in this young boss's internet empire, over 100 million RMB is just the foreign exchange he earns from mobile games in a month?!

The internet industry has become so profitable?!

"What about Weibo?" Li Feng finally spoke, his voice steady.

"Weibo is still in a phase of frantically burning money," Zhang Xinyu answered honestly. "The server expansion bandwidth costs, plus the first-year endorsement fees paid to various top celebrities, result in huge daily expenses. Currently, the platform hasn't integrated any commercial services and is purely in a net loss state. Lao Han, shouldn't you consider starting commercial monetization?"

"There's no rush to cash out."

Li Feng opened his eyes, his tone calm, "Tell Lao Han, this is the most crucial period of the land grab. As long as the user base continues to grow exponentially, keep burning money! First, bind all the netizens in the country to Haofeng Weibo. Once we've monopolized the moat, there will be plenty of Google merchants kneeling down to give us money."

"Understood." Zhang Xinyu nodded, then reported to her supervisor, "Finally, regarding the progress of acquiring online broadcasting rights. The film and television department has been on a buying spree across major film and television companies nationwide, spending a total of 1.5 million RMB. Currently, we've secured the exclusive online broadcasting rights for virtually every well-known popular drama series from 2000 to the present!"

"However, the copyrights held by Hong Kong's TVB and some established Hong Kong film companies are very scattered, and they are still observing the valuation of mainland internet copyrights. Lao Han said that it will take time to work things out there."

"No need to argue with them."

Li Feng sneered, "Once Apple's settlement payment arrives next week, allocate another 50 million to the film and television department!"

"Tell Lao Han to take this 50 million and splurge in Hong Kong! They think the mainland copyrights are too cheap, right? Then slap them in the face with prices twice the market value! Within six months, I want Haofeng Films' film library filled with all the classic IPs from the Chinese-speaking world!"

"Okay, boss, I'll write it down and pass it on to Director Han right away." Zhang Xinyu typed quickly on the keyboard.

Listening to this leisurely report, Liu Yifei, sitting beside him, felt his scalp tingle.

They throw around tens of millions of dollars at a time, spending 150 million to buy a bunch of vague online copyrights, and next month they're going to spend another 50 million to go on a shopping spree in Hong Kong...

Is this the source of her new boss's confidence?

She secretly glanced at Li Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed beside her.

This young man was like a bottomless black hole, devouring all resources.

Suddenly, I felt incredibly lucky to have signed with such a company and received a top-tier contract with a 50/50 revenue split.

……

a few days later.

The crew of "Chinese Paladin 3" in Hengdian, Zhejiang.

Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi, the three leading actresses of Haofeng Film and Television, are resting around a small electric heater in the corner of the film set.

Although they were in the production team of Tangren Media, all three of them are now under the name of Haofeng Network.

Especially in the past few days, Haofeng's official Weibo account made a high-profile announcement of the addition of the "Fairy Sister" to the cast, which has become the hottest topic of conversation in the entire crew and even the entire entertainment industry.

"My God, I still can't believe it! President Li actually managed to poach Liu Yifei!"

Liu Shishi rubbed her small, red hands, her voice full of amazement and admiration, "That's a fairy sister! Among our group of young actresses, her resources and popularity have always been on a completely different level."

"Hey, you guys think... Liu Yifei is so famous, now that she's here, does that mean she'll be the 'number one actress' at Haofeng Film and Television from now on?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere around the fire momentarily froze.

"Shi Shi! Don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Yan reacted quickly, startled, and hurriedly tugged at Liu Shishi's sleeve, frantically giving her meaningful glances.

Such a sensitive topic as the competition for the top female position in the company is a big taboo in private!

Especially since the three of them haven't completely secured their positions yet, if their gossip gets back to the company's higher-ups, it could cause a lot of trouble!

Liu Shishi belatedly covered her mouth, sticking out her tongue somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I was just gossiping casually..."

Tang Yan secretly glanced at Yang Mi, who was sitting silently next to her.

At this moment, Yang Mi was holding a thermos in her hands, and the expression on her face seemed to be somewhat blurred by the rising steam.

Although she wore a faint smile, Liu Shishi's words "number one sister" were like a poisonous thorn, piercing her heart!

Number one?

So what if Liu Yifei is very popular? So what if Tang Yan is sweet and Liu Shishi is pure?

They're just hothouse flowers who took advantage of their boss's generosity and got contracts to comfortably film on set!

"Do they know what a price is? Do they know what true submission is?"

Yang Mi sneered hysterically to herself.

She has completely surrendered even the most precious dignity and bottom line of a woman, paying a price ten thousand times worse than them.

Is it really just so I can stand by and watch a newcomer like Liu Yifei ride roughshod over me and steal my resources?!

It's impossible!

Since she had become his plaything with his secret seal, she had to turn this humiliating relationship into a bargaining chip for climbing the social ladder!

Yang Mi picked up her thermos and took a sip of warm water. Under the cover of the thermos, her eyes became resolute.

"The cast and crew of 'Chinese Paladin 3' will be on vacation for a few days soon."

Yang Mi secretly thought to herself, "These two naive girls are planning to stay on set to read the script? Ha... I'll have to fly to Shenzhen myself."

Even the most powerful capitalist tyrant needs prey to actively fawn over him.

I must take advantage of this holiday to go to that man's door and use every means to make him feel comfortable!

She wanted Li Feng to remember her existence as his personal slave clearly! She wanted to use this bed to get her boss to pave the way for her and elevate her status!

"What fairy sister? What 'own daughter'...?"

Yang Mi put down her thermos and looked at Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, who were still chatting noisily beside her, a smug smirk playing on her lips.

"Now that I've handed over everything, the top female star of Haofeng Film and Television can only be me!"
