Reborn, I am a trendsetter

"He is too whimsical and completely insincere! For a price of US$2 billion, give him a premium of US$3 billion. If you want to transfer it, just come, otherwise, forget it."

This was the Nth time Zhang Xuhao heard a similar sound. He also knew that the price Wei Tao shouted was completely taking advantage of the situation, but what could he do? He had the absolute initiative.

He patiently explained again: "20 billion is unrealistic, but 3 billion is impossible. He is sitting firmly on the stage, waiting for us to take action. At this stage, it is inappropriate to go back and forth with him. He is just a speculator."

Element, little red guy, let’s give him some more benefits and let him get out of here.”

No one would agree with his argument. The valuation is so outrageous that even capital is prohibitive.

20 billion is impossible, but even 10 billion is far beyond their budget, and it is also in the "whimsical" sequence.

Zhang Xuhao also knows that what everyone said is correct, but the reality is here. He is not in a hurry, but we are in a hurry. If we can meet his requirements and let him go, even if the premium is many times higher, it is better than having a thorn stuck in our body.

At the core position, there is no way to control it when needed.

Someone suggested: "How about opening a few more rounds and diluting him to the point where he is no longer a threat."

The tricks are destructive and practical, but there are no fools in this world. Even if Wei Tao himself does not fight back, if a network project that is developing rapidly suddenly makes some villainous actions, the impact will be very large, and may even affect the whole country.

The future development of Ele.me.

Don't think that you can cover up these behaviors. You can bribe all the media. With a cat's fang and a short video, you can create several news accounts. Once you push it, it will become popular and you will push it again. You are guaranteed to attract hundreds of millions of people in the shortest time.

People above the unit learned the news.

When the time comes, there is no need to distinguish between true and false. Meituan is bound to take advantage of this opportunity to take action given the facts.

Once a service platform loses user credibility or loses a large number of users due to some negative news, its value will also be reduced exponentially.

Zhang Xuhao shook his head: "This is really not possible. Now he still owns 5% of the shares and also holds shares in Dianping. It is simply not feasible to dilute his shares through some means."

Needless to say, Wei Tao is not a newcomer. He has been in the investment circle for so many years and has all kinds of connections. If you play this trick with him, you may be unlucky.

Zhang Xuhao expressed his true thoughts: "The valuation of 10 billion can be achieved in two years at most. I am confident that I will be listed in four years. By then, 100 billion is just the beginning. Talk to him now. If 10 billion can be obtained, I think it will be

It’s worth it. Let’s consider it, is it feasible?”

After some discussion, Ele.me’s prospects were the most important, and we finally nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xuhao had an in-depth discussion with Lin'an Ma, Zhang Yong and others in private, and he raised the price to 15 billion.

Do you have the confidence to enter the market?

After several contacts, Zhang Xuhao flew to LA in person. At the beginning of 2015, just after the excitement of the New Year's Eve party, he felt that it was time for the dust to settle after a period of entanglement.

At this moment, a new round of excitement is in front of all the Chinese people.

The Eagle Country TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards were held at a world-renowned five-star hotel chain in LA. It has been running for half a year. "Parasite" was shortlisted, and as the boss, Wei Tao personally showed up to support this time.

Members of the film’s creative team also all dressed up to attend.

The three major film festivals in Europe have a higher artistic level.

But at the mainstream entertainment level, films that are truly recognized by Hollywood are the real super-successful works.

After all, it is better to talk about film and television as art than as entertainment.

In an era where entertainment is paramount, with Hollywood awards and awards from the three major European film festivals, it is completely possible to restart global screenings. Even if they don’t know you as an actor, there will be a considerable number of viewers who will come to your award-winning works.

The two leading actors are Liu Qingyun and Liu Dehua. The former is more focused on filming, while the latter has the highest influence in the Chinese circle. He also longs to be recognized on the world stage, but kung fu movies are not suitable for him, and the acting god is far away from him.

And this time, it was the best opportunity he got.

This is a movie with a large ensemble cast, and the two of them are just a little outnumbered. In fact, it cannot be regarded as a work of an absolute duo. It is almost impossible to win individual awards, but that doesn't matter anymore.

What we want is for our movies to truly be on the world stage.

The previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not considered our movie. It was a martial arts movie in the Western style.

"Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", "Red Sorghum", etc., have higher artistic value, and they also have Chinese individual characteristics. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to have intersection with the social systems of European and American countries. Ordinary audiences over there can watch

I also felt tired while watching it, and most of them couldn't understand it. It was acceptable as a pure literary and artistic film, but if it wanted to be fully recognized, it still lacked some resonance that could exist between each other.

"Parasite" is different. Xiangjiang itself is a very tolerant city, with a culture and system that is acceptable to both the East and the West.

The story of this movie reflects class, and people from all countries can basically understand it. If you change the skin and some people, you can shoot the same movie in every country for your own audiences, and it will not feel inconsistent at all.

and.

So far, for the sake of publicity and opening up international channels for Hollywood, Wei Tao has arranged for people to do a lot, including the rights to adapt scripts obtained by several countries for a nominal fee, and even Hollywood requires

For the remake, Wei Tao also asked the director of the crew to come over and be a co-producer.

Everything is promoting the international influence of this film.

Now the entire production crew came to support it, and Wei Tao spent heavily to open up media channels and let more media promote "Parasite" in order to expand the film's influence in the world film market.

Wei Tao was applauded by the audience. He gave up going on stage and gave the opportunity to Yan Shuang as the producer, leading the creative staff to the stage to win the "Best Picture in a Drama Series" award.

Best Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film.

Nominated for three awards and won them all.

The presentation of this award has never been broadcast in China, and although it is known as a preview of the Oscars, it is still unfamiliar to domestic audiences.

Maoya obtained the broadcast rights and had a three-minute delay.

With the caliber of MaoYa’s live broadcast team, three minutes is enough for text translation to appear on the screen signal with an accuracy of over 95%.

In just three minutes, it goes from oral translation to text translation, to technicians pasting the text on the screen.

Domestic audiences are not afraid of the original English sound, but they are afraid of the lack of subtitle translation. With subtitle translation, the number of viewers during the live broadcast reached tens of millions at its peak.

The first two awards are already another milestone success for Chinese films.

I dare not say the best screenplay. When it comes to the best foreign language film award, word-of-mouth gives everyone confidence. "Parasite" is destined to sweep all similar awards during the Hollywood awards season, and no opponent can compete with it.

This film earned US$80 million at the box office when it was released in North America. It was initially conceived as an art film and was only released in art theaters. Later, it was opened to a few screens, and it still managed to achieve such a good box office.

, in terms of word-of-mouth, many film commentators in North America have given high praise, claiming that this film does not need major changes if it is remade in any country. It is a film that truly reflects a real social phenomenon in the world.

of outstanding film works.

At the Golden Globe Awards, everyone was happy when they won the grand prize. Wei Tao was also happy, but he still felt a little bit emotional in his heart. After all, even if he changed this film to the most suitable plot, he would still get rid of it.

However, it is actually the result of standing on the shoulders of giants.

Wei Tao has no psychological barriers to plagiarism. I am a reborn person. No matter it is a parallel world or something, if I get it here, it is mine. What is plagiarism?

But this film has been so highly praised and sought after, and he still has a little bit of a lingering feeling in his heart, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

In a short period of time, it was announced that they were dispersing, and there was no need to dwell on this issue. It was decided to hold a celebration party for everyone. Next, other efforts during the awards season and the real final battle are the top priority.

Wei Tao asked Yan Shuang to organize a special public relations team. In Hollywood, they are not afraid of spending money. Who can help and who can be hit with money? The opening has been opened. The next step is to let the entire Hollywood accept that we are an international film festival.

Facts, rather than making up games and playing for your own entertainment.

Only by opening up the landscape and opening the door will it be possible for the Oscars to transform from the entertainment supreme to the most influential award in the world.

…………

Staples.

Wei Tao sits in the first row opposite the dugout area in the commentary box.

There is a game today, it is the Lakers VS Bucks game.

Kobe announced that he was out for the season, and the Lakers have been completely reduced to an underdog. However, this year's Bucks are indeed full of vigor. There are many fans supporting the Bucks at the scene without Kobe. The whole atmosphere is peaceful, and there is no

Such a tense atmosphere of confrontation.

This year's gunman is definitely qualified to compete for MVP. The Bucks' results this year are very gratifying, and they give people the feeling that they can generate unlimited imagination.

Antetokounmpo begins to transform.

Butler made Bulls fans stamp their feet, beat their chests, and curse the team management.

Middleton also gives people a bright feeling, and the three young players all give people a unique potential, that is, their combat talents are constantly being exchanged.

With a stable point guard and a top star, the whole team is connected in series. It is not like Paul's whole team flying up and playing in the Clippers, but a kind of traditional basketball is used to play a good-looking game.

Effect.

Who does all this come from?

Even though the boss has never attended a game at his home court, the fans still give him high recognition. In today's Milwaukee, the status of the Chinese is constantly improving, and Chinese fans at home will definitely receive extra respect.

Wei Tao's appearance on the scene immediately aroused the excitement of the entire Bucks players, and the coach even called a timeout.

When he came in, the game had already reached the sixth minute of the first quarter.

Walking along the edge of the field, Brother Pao was the first to see him and immediately greeted him. The progress of the game was even affected because several players came over. The ball was thrown out of the field and the coach called a timeout.

The live footage was shown to him, and the on-site DJ responded immediately. He actually knew Wei Tao and directly introduced this Chinese tycoon on the spot.

Wei Tao was not only accompanied by bodyguards, but also by a translator, and bought four more seats in the second row.

The translator immediately came to his ear, and Wei Tao also raised his hand, faced the camera, looked at himself hanging on the four screens above his head, and signaled to the audience.

The Lakers fans had no reaction, but some Bucks fans at the scene immediately cheered to welcome the new owner of the Bucks, a man who made them willing to go to the stadium to support their home team even if they were on a business trip.

The team has good results, is thriving, and has a promising future. Thanks to the new boss for his decisive strategizing, it is just a few transactions. In the next few years, we are not looking forward to signings at all, let alone the draft. There are several young people in the team now.

The contract renewal is completed in advance and given us two years, we dare to expect anything.

After DJ’s introduction, the Lakers fans also knew that it was this Eastern rich man who transformed the Bucks with just a few transactions. I heard that the Bucks’ training team and medical team are now top-notch.

, the investment in this aspect is now the first in the entire league.

Only if you have money can you play like this. Only with motivated players can these configurations play their best role. I envy the Bucks!

The DJ was endless, the pause was over, and he said: "Have you seen "Parasite"? It's a movie from Xiangjiang, produced by Wei Company, and just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay last night

Best Film, Foreign Language Film or Drama…”

Wei Tao had already sat down. Beside him was a fat white man, eating popcorn. He was obviously paying more attention to the game than this person who affected the progress of the game. When he saw Wei Tao sitting down next to him, he also brought

Not happy at all.

Wei Tao didn't know anything about perfumes, but the women around him would popularize this knowledge to him. Occasionally, if he smelled a scent he liked, he would ask a few questions, and the other party would also rank perfumes with this scent as their first choice.

Use the forefront.

"Hi."

The girl wearing a baseball cap turned her head, smiled at him, and said hello politely.

know.

She is also one of the few foreign female artists who can be called beautiful according to Wei Tao's aesthetic standards.

Taylor Swift.

I'm not sure if she is a real basketball fan, but her work on the edge of the court is definitely on the list. If there was a highlight reel of lively scenes on the edge of the NBA court, this girl would definitely be featured in more than one shot.

"Hello. I like your song."

Wei Tao doesn't show off his poor English. He can say hello in English and speak Chinese directly afterwards. The translator sitting behind him leans forward and translates his words for Swift.

"Thank you, this year's Bucks team is great." The other party also smiled politely at Wei Tao. The words were meant for the translator. When he spoke, he was facing Wei Tao and stared at him, obviously

Social etiquette is very good.

"It will be better in the future."

I don’t know each other, so I can only say that they are all famous people. They work next to each other, and they always exchange one or two polite words, that’s all. They don’t understand the language, let alone talk much.

After a few words, he happened to be watching the game, smiled, turned back to watch the game, and the unsmooth conversation came to an end.

Wei Tao maintained a gentleman's sitting posture. After all, the seats in the first row of the court were close to each other. The person next to him was taller than him. Even if their bodies were not touching, unless their legs were always together, they would actually be very close.

, you will encounter it if you are not careful.

A woman with a pair of long legs, there is no way she would give up showing off her advantages. She wears denim shorts, a T-shirt, a denim jacket and a baseball cap. She is very excited to watch the game and has some movements. Wei Tao is slightly restrained.

Legs, I'm not really a gentleman who thinks about others. I really don't want the media to add fuel to the fire when the cameras at the scene deliberately capture me.

The game was exciting and intense, but in fact the rhythm was always on the side of the Bucks. By the fourth quarter, Taylor Swift stood up, smiled at Wei Tao, nodded, and walked out.

She said hello and said goodbye. On the sidelines, her bodyguards and assistants were already waiting there.

Wei Tao also nodded. Just at this moment, his cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Zhang Xuhao's number, he rolled his eyes and stood up to answer the call.

The noisy scene was definitely not suitable for talking on the phone. He also walked out and happened to be following Swift.

"Wait for me for a while."

What he was thinking about was whether he would relent in the end. After Zhang Xuhao offered him 10 billion, the two sides went back and forth, but he did not back out much. After 18 billion, he would not relent. Judging from this, the other party was planning to compromise.

?

He didn't notice that he was following someone. The bodyguards on both sides noticed it. The bodyguard over there quickly blocked the boss. If this person came close again, they would need to drive him away.

Entering the passage, Wei Tao's intention of 'following' was too obvious. Swift's bodyguard stopped alone, raised his hand, opened his palm, and shouted to Wei Tao, telling him to stop and stop following.

Wei Tao also heard the shouting, and just as he was about to raise his head, Han Tiesheng, Lu Jiang, and retired mercenary bodyguards from the overseas branch of Jinfeng Security Company also rushed over immediately. Someone approached his boss with unknown intentions.

For overseas business, Wei Tao opened an overseas branch of the security company very early, recruiting some veterans and mercenaries to facilitate his people to carry out business here, have his own security, and have security that can adapt to local conditions.

The most important thing is that it can avoid some troubles of carrying weapons, and also allows domestic security to protect domestic bosses with high-quality thermal weapons.

"Hi!"

The security of both sides came into contact.

There was also arena security near the passage. When they saw something going on here, they immediately rushed over, put one hand on their waist, and issued a warning to both parties to disperse.

Wei Tao raised his head, and the girl in front of her looked back. The two of them looked at each other. Wei Tao raised his hand and motioned to the other party to look at his mobile phone, conveying his message that it was too noisy inside and I wanted to answer the phone, so I came out.

Swift called back her bodyguard, and Wei Tao also stopped her security and asked the translator to explain to the arena security that it was just a misunderstanding and nothing unpleasant would happen again.

"Don't cause trouble, okay?"

The arena security once again asked both parties, and after receiving a positive answer, they took back their posture as if they were facing an enemy and returned to their posts.

There were not many people in the tunnel. Those who came to watch the game were only a few who left at this time. They were all VIPs and walked through the VIP tunnel. Ordinary spectators would not go here even after leaving the game. What was connected here was the players tunnel.

The security guards on both sides were sizing each other up, very close to each other.

Wei Tao stood firm before pausing this 'accident' that was destined to continue with some collisions.

The accident happened suddenly and ended suddenly, with no other content. When Swift walked away, she looked back.

"You're here, okay. Let's meet later at the hotel cafe. I'll contact you then."

He was not surprised when Zhang Xuhao came. He learned that the other party had checked into the hotel where he was staying, without making an appointment at a specific time. He had booked the best restaurant to treat the team members to a feast. As for the night entertainment project, Wei Tao

Just skip it. At this stage of the team and when the owner is still relatively mysterious, such behavior is inappropriate.

The meal lasted until early in the morning, and the players returned to the hotel to rest. As for whether they went out to have fun at night, the team coach couldn't control it, and neither did Wei Tao.

In the first and a half area of ​​the hotel, while looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the lobby while looking down. Wei Tao did not ask Zhang Xuhao to his own suite, nor did he go to the other party's suite. Once some relationships are far away, it is impossible to get closer. Man

The gap between them will not be very intense, but it will be very direct.

Meetings will not be awkward, but there will no longer be the same enthusiasm as in the past. If we talk about things, we will talk about things. If we don’t talk about things, we may never have anything to do with each other unless we meet by chance.

Zhang Xuhao's recklessness is actually in line with Wei Tao's. However, interests are so attractive that it is impossible to say who started to seek benefits from the other party. The quality has changed and the relationship has faded. If there are some conflicts of interest, from then on

When a friend becomes an enemy, there may not even need to be a fight, let alone any foreshadowing.

He ordered a glass of whiskey and Wei Tao ordered a glass of juice and sat across from each other. Maybe both of them wanted to end this awkward conversation before the food was served.

"Mr. Wei, the price of 16 billion is very sincere. They will not add more. Mr. Wei understands that you want an absolutely fair identity. What I need here is a partner who can advance and retreat together. Since it can't be done,

Friends, there is no need to become enemies. If Mr. Wei is still willing to handle this price, it seems unnecessary, right?"

The 18 billion discussed earlier is unrealistic.

The two of them were sitting next to the semi-fence on the first floor. There was a commotion at the gate. Wei Tao took advantage of the situation and looked over. He had good eyesight and was in a good position. From top to bottom, he could clearly see the man with blond hair surrounded.

, it was none other than Taylor Swift who had done it next to her a few hours earlier.

Isn't she the room sister? How come she still has time to go out to stay in the hotel? Still have this time?

After being distracted for a moment, Zhang Xuhao frowned across from him, and a look of sullenness flashed in his eyes.

Wei Tao, who seemed to have noticed his reaction and had not yet turned around, was also very direct: "Old Zhang, since you came with sincerity, you can do it at any time with a valuation of 17 billion."
