Chapter 14: Li the Richest

In the chairman's office, the door rang a few times, and after receiving an affirmative answer, it was pushed open a crack, and Lao Li's figure appeared at the door.

"Chairman, is this convenient for you?"

"Old Li, what's the matter?"

"It's the same thing from a few days ago. My friend's kid wanted to get investment from us for a movie, but I refused. But he still wants to meet with you. I can't refuse him, or it will be hard to carry out my work in the future. Can you spare a few minutes to meet with them? Just to go through the motions."

"Okay, let's meet."

Seeing Old Li leaving, the richest man Li straightened his clothes.

He was too lazy to care about such a small matter, but it was Lao Li who spoke, so he had to give him face.

Not to mention their relationship as relatives, just the fact that when he took over the group, Lao Li stood firmly on his side, so he had to give him this face.

If it were in the royal family, this would be the merit of following the dragon. Even if he was doing it for others to see, he could not treat Lao Li unfairly.

After a while, Old Li returned with Zhang Chen and others. When he saw the newcomers, Old Li's eyes lit up. He originally thought that there was only one person coming, but unexpectedly there were three, and one of them was a beautiful woman.

He is also a young man in the prime of his life, although a little "strong".

“This is our chairman~”

"This is Director Zhang and his creative team~"

After making a brief introduction to both parties, Old Li stepped aside and handed the initiative back to Mr. Li, the richest man.

"Everyone, please take a seat. Don't be polite. Secretary Zhang, please serve tea to the guests and bring two fruit plates..."

Mr. Li, the richest man, was playing with the beads in his hand while greeting people warmly. His every move showed a great generosity, which is also a temperament common to all coal bosses.

The coal bosses in the coal-producing provinces all have mine protection teams under them. They are considered half-gangsters and their words and actions are all in a gangster manner.

Although Mr. Li is not a coal boss, he is not much different. His father started from scratch and was also a wealthy man in the area, so it is inevitable that he was influenced by his father.

After a few people greeted each other and sat down, Zhang Chen began to look at the person in front of him. This was the first time he saw the real Mr. Li, the richest man.

She is a bit sturdy, with a Hong Kong-style side-parted hair, and she holds a string of beads in one hand, twisting them continuously.

From the perspective of later generations, Zhang Chen's hair was a little long and not neat enough, but it was a popular style at the time, and he learned the hairstyle from the stars in Hong Kong movies.

At that time, Li was not the richest man. It was not until 2008 that he became the richest man in the coal province with a net worth of 128 billion. However, he was very good at speaking and doing things.

Mr. Li originally just wanted to go through the motions, have a quick chat and send the person away, but when he saw the beautiful woman Che Xiao, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Tea please~"

"Our Haixin is one of the largest private enterprises in the country..."

"Last year, our annual output value was 50 billion, and this year we plan to reach 70 billion..."

Mr. Li's reaction was the same as most men's when they see a beautiful woman, he started bragging.

How great is my Haixin Group and my leading position in the industry.

To be honest, he does have reason to be proud.

Mr. Li was originally a second-generation rich man who spent his days eating, drinking and having fun. After his father was murdered, he was ordered to come back and clean up the mess.

Many people were waiting to laugh at him, and there must have been many group veterans who coveted his position, but he managed to lead the company through the crisis and its business continued to improve.

He also knew how to win people's hearts. He built residential buildings for family members and provided social security for employees. He must have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Zizhi Tongjian" a lot.

Seeing that the beauty seemed indifferent, Mr. Li knew that he had made a wrong decision and immediately changed the track and talked about investing in movies.

"We have always had the habit of investing in movies. Last year, we also invested in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth," a work by Director He Ping. You are all in the industry, so you should know Director He Ping..."

Sure enough, when talking about "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", Che Xiao's expression was different. When she heard that they invested one-tenth, which was nearly 800 million yuan, she covered her mouth in surprise, and there were things called little stars in her eyes.

Mr. Li, the richest man, was in high spirits and very satisfied with the results of his bragging.

Zhang Chen winked at Che Xiao imperceptibly from behind. This Beijing Film Academy graduate is indeed good and has decent acting skills.

Of course, Zhang Chen taught Che Xiao how to react like this. He had trained everyone before coming here, and this time, he was the one who explained the professional things, and everyone else just had to show respect for the investors.

How to show respect? Just follow his words, praise him, and express admiration and shock appropriately.

Well, the routine is exactly the same as those ladies in Shang K, and it is tailor-made for all adult men.

In this regard, Cao Bingkun actually did better than Che Xiao. When Mr. Li was bragging, he was smiling the whole time and looked focused.

But it's useless. He is a man, and Mr. Li, the richest man, doesn't have a preference for men. His attention is not on him at all. He only cares about the reaction of the beautiful woman Che Xiao.

"Director Li, I brought our creative team with me this time. May I introduce them to you?"

"That's great, I couldn't ask for more. Who is this beautiful lady?"

Seeing that Mr. Li had almost finished boasting and would probably be at a loss for words in a few minutes, Zhang Chen took over the conversation at the right time. Mr. Li said that you are a sensible boy.

As for Cao Bingkun who was ignored, he had a frown on his face at this moment, but his acting skills were very good so he didn't show it.

"This is Che Xiao, the campus beauty of our Beijing Film Academy. She is very pretty and comes from a performing arts family. You must have seen Journey to the West. The actor who played the Golden Horned King in the movie is Miss Che's father."

Since he was trying to attract investment, Zhang Chen must have been using something of a big name to attract investors. Even Che Xiao's father's resume was dug out. "Journey to the West" has a very high status among the people.

Che Xiao blushed a little after hearing what he said. This Zhang Chen really dared to say anything. When did she become the campus belle of Beijing Film Academy?
But she also knew that Zhang Chen was trying to reassure investors, so she endured it silently.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Che Xiao."

"My apologies, Miss Che comes from a family of scholars. Our play will definitely be good if we have Miss Che joining us."

Mr. Li behaved politely, but in his heart he quite agreed with what Zhang Chen said.

He didn't know whether Che Xiao's acting skills were good or not, but her appearance was indeed very good, which completely hit his spot. Mr. Li couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, and the more he looked, the more he liked her.

"Mr. Li, you are overpraising me."

Che Xiao was still young and felt a little embarrassed by Zhang Chen's words, but this seemed even more special to Mr. Li, the richest man, as if he had accidentally discovered an uncontaminated lily.

"This drama can be said to be tailor-made for Miss Che."

"Oh, could it be that Miss Che is Director Zhang's..."

"No, no, Mr. Li, you misunderstood. How can ordinary people like us get involved with a goddess like Miss Che? Besides, Miss Che is devoted to studying acting and is still single..."

Zhang Chen revealed the information unobtrusively, and he took great pains to make Mr. Li have the courage and the will to commit a crime. However, it seemed that the effect was good. When Mr. Li heard that Che Xiao was single, his eyes lit up, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Che Xiao next to him was completely confused. She couldn't understand Zhang Chen's logic. What does my studying acting have to do with being single?
"Who is this……"

Zhang Chen was about to continue introducing Cao Bingkun, but the richest man Li took over the conversation: "Director Zhang, I still don't know what our movie is about?"

Feeling ignored once again, Cao Bingkun couldn't continue acting.

Zhang Chen was happy in his heart. Mr. Li showed a certain degree of interest in Che Xiao, and from the word "we" just now, it can be seen that he is not averse to attracting investment.

"It mainly tells the story of a group of female adventure enthusiasts being attacked by unknown creatures in a cave. Here is the complete script and storyboard. Please take a look~~"

Zhang Chen handed it over with both hands. Mr. Li took the script and pretended to read it.

When it comes to scripts, unless you are an expert, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell whether a script is good or bad.

The storyboard is similar, and this thing is also for professionals to watch.

But storyboards are different.

A storyboard is a way to present a story in the form of a drawing, which is somewhat similar to a comic. It is very intuitive in its expressiveness.

If ordinary people think reading a script is one, then reading a storyboard is ten.

Just by looking at the storyboard, you can understand the director's shooting ideas and techniques. A very intuitive picture will form in your mind, and you will basically have an idea of ​​what the movie is like.

Sure enough, Mr. Li’s expression changed from the moment he started looking at the storyboard.

It didn't take long for Li to finish reading the storyboard. He was still not satisfied and actually found the same feeling of being unable to stop reading comics when he was in school.
