Chapter 544 Bet

Yang Lingyue then introduced Liu Xiaoli and Li Jing. The other parties shook hands and exchanged greetings politely, especially to Liu Xiaoli.

After sitting down, Yang Lingyue said with a smile: "I didn't expect that two of us who often work in the capital would meet here."

Zhou Lixian explained: "I reported to the headquarters the day before yesterday and heard about the agreement between the company and Director Yang, so I took him over."

Yang Lingyue understood the meaning of Zhou Lixian's words: "Please understand that Director Chen was contacted because of his trip to the United States."

"Director Yang has misunderstood. I understand completely. To put it bluntly, I, the person in charge of the China region, am the director of the office. Come, let's chat while we eat."

Just as the waiter was serving the dishes, Zhou Lixian gestured and said.

Liu Xiaoli watched the two of them playing Tai Chi but didn't get to the point. This was very different from Yang Lingyue's previous style. She wanted to cooperate with Colombia.

Liu Xiaoli’s guess was correct. Colombia is an “old friend” of China’s film and television industry.

Since the official establishment of a branch in China in 1995, it has successively invested in more than 20 Chinese films, asking for money, resources for resources, and overseas distribution.

For example: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Big Shot", "Kung Fu"...

They are casting a wide net, and of course they only target larger productions. The RMB invested will earn US dollars. The money earned from one film of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is enough to invest in these 20 films. ....

Oh, by the way, Columbia Pictures is actually owned by Sony Entertainment. Sony Entertainment is actually American. The chairman is Howard Stringer. Not only is Columbia Pictures owned by Sony Entertainment, but so is MGM.

Yang Lingyue and Zhou Lixian talked about the domestic film market, the U.S. market, then the global market, and finally the U.S. presidential election....

During this period, Zhou Lixian said firmly: "I expect that China will become the second largest vote bank in the world in just three to five years."

Yang Lingyue nodded: "I agree with this, within one year before and after GDP became the second largest."

Zhou Lixian said with a smile: "Director Yang, do you still want to say that the GDP will be the first, and the vote bank will also be the first."

"It won't be necessary until then. It will be when domestic audiences no longer believe in Hollywood blockbusters and the American dream is shattered."

"As national confidence increases, there is no market for it, right?"

"Bingo!"

"Haha, although I am not as convinced as Director Yang, I resonate with your spirit."

"Are you an American?"

"No, I can't even get a green card."

When she said this, Liu Xiaoli smiled brightly, but she felt that Yang Lingyue was paying attention to her.

However, Yang Lingyue and the other graduated from Columbia University with a graduate degree and climbed to the executive position in a few years. They are still women. Their judgments and cognitions are completely consistent. It is impossible for the balance in her heart not to fall further.

Zhou Lixian then asked Yang Lingyue if he had paid attention to the recent US election.

Yang Lingyue was speechless: "Why are we two Chinese discussing this?"

Zhou Lixian looked curious: "Tell me, who do you support?"

"There is no support, just attention. Just like paying attention to Guang and Qi, it does not mean supporting them."

"Haha, rigorous enough. Then tell me who you pay more attention to?"

"Ohei."

Zhou Lixian was no longer as cheerful as before. He pondered for a while before saying:

"Director Yang, let's make a bet."

"What's the bet? What's the bet?"

"The bet is that we will win in the end, and I bet on Romney. The bet is on the rights of both parties to speak and the support of Colombia in the subsequent cooperation. In fact, the authority and independence of my position are quite large. Even if there is anything I We will also try our best to mediate.

If you lose, everything will follow Colombia's rules, which are of course in line with business logic.

You should also know some unpleasant things happened during our previous cooperation with Director Li and Director Feng. "

Yang Lingyue raised his eyebrows: "Since the three debates, Romney's support rate has been rising, and now it has surpassed him. You have taken the lead."

Zhou Lixian took a sip of red wine: "Isn't this very fitting? From a long history, ethnic minorities, including us Asians, have surpassed white people. In just a few hundred years, others have overtaken and seized the opportunity. For Hanamaki and Isn’t this true for Colombia? Does Director Yang want to deny his previous judgment and think that we will not overtake it?”

Yang Lingyue gave a thumbs up first, and then said: "Li Jing, go diagonally across the street to buy two lottery tickets, one O'Hare and one Romney, and ask Lao Wu to accompany you."

"Okay boss, how much does it cost?"

"How much cash do you have left?"

Li Jing rummaged through her bag: "Twelve thousand."

"Then buy five thousand each."

Zhou Lixian smiled tremblingly, and after a while he said: "Director Yang is interesting, are you giving me money?"

Yang Lingyue also said with a smile: "You treat us to dinner, and I will give you a lottery ticket. By the way, I will create a document and ask Ms. Liu Xiaoli to be a witness."

Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a long time: "Is this how you talk about cooperation?"

Zhou Lixian asked back: "Sister Xiaoli, isn't this a good story? I believe Director Yang cherishes his own credibility and credibility very much."

Yang Lingyue also said: "I am also willing to believe in the credibility and credibility of Mr. Zhou and Columbia."

Soon, Li Jing brought back two lottery tickets and handed them to Yang Lingyue.

Yang Lingyue took a look and gave the winnings from Obama to Liu Xiaoli, and the winnings from Romney to Zhou Lixian.

When the time comes, the two of them will naturally find an agent to exchange them. They can't fly to the United States again for this matter.

"Tsk, the odds are very low, 3.5, Director Yang, what about yours?"

"5."

"What do you think?"

"I think I can make 20,000 US dollars."

"I prefer to believe that I can make 12,500, no, it should be 17,500, after all, there is the principal given by Director Yang."

"Then wait and see."

"Okay, wait and see, see you in Beijing."

Then Zhou Lixian shook hands with the four people one by one, and said goodbye and left.

On the way to Chinatown, Liu Xiaoli asked: "Will you win this time?"

Li Jing also turned her head curiously.

Yang Lingyue leaned back in the back seat and said, "When have I ever lost?"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and sighed, "Romney is a household hero in the United States. Now the American people are looking forward to heroes saving their economy."

Yang Lingyue was puzzled: "In capitalist America, when will it be the turn of the American people to have the final say?"

"Vote, vote, vote." Liu Xiaoli said something important three times.

Yang Lingyue said with a smile, "The American people hope that a hero can stand up and unite them, but the emperor of America does not want that. To transfer the contradictions from the bottom up to the contradictions between the bottom, we must divide, divide again, divide into different types, and let them fight each other."
