It was already ten thirty at night when Xiao Zheng returned home, and Xia Chang accompanied Mr. An upstairs to rest. Jessica is putting the finishing touches on the kitchen.
The old housekeeper is very serious and focused in his work. The professionalism of its services has been approved by the Queen of England. Xiao Zheng never worried that his service level would dissatisfy Lao Lin.
In fact, even the very territorial Lao Lin never complained about Jessica. On the contrary, she has slowly become accustomed to Jessica's presence and enjoys the high-quality services provided by Jessica.
"Boss, are you back?" Jessica brought the dessert she had prepared before to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng took it and took a few sips, then smiled and said, "Why don't you rest so late?"
"I'm used to going to bed at twelve o'clock." Jessica sat with Xiao Zheng in the living room. Seeing that Xiao Zheng's face was not very good, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "Boss, are you in trouble?"
Xiao Zheng put down the dessert, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's a small matter."
Jessica shook her head gently: "You rarely look so tired."
Jessica knows Xiao Zheng very well.
This is a man who cannot be beaten to death. Even if he has not slept for three days and three nights, he will never look so tired. Presumably, he encountered sudden big trouble.
After finishing the dessert, Xiao Zheng patted Jessica on the shoulder: "It's okay, I will take care of it. Get some rest early."
Xiao Zheng went upstairs to take a bath and when he got into bed, Lao Lin turned around slightly and gently hugged his waist.
"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Xiao Zheng asked with concern.
Lin Huayin shook his head gently: "You took a little long to take a shower today."
Ordinary men suddenly face such a problem. It's very possible that I'm overthinking it.
The bathing time is a bit long.
That proves that there are some traces left on the body that are afraid of being discovered. The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
But Lao Lin suddenly raised this question, not that he had any other meaning. Instead, he thought that Xiao Zheng was not even paying attention to taking a bath, because he was afraid that he had encountered a problem.
"I've sweated too much today." Xiao Zheng smiled and held Lao Lin's soft and warm hand. "Go to sleep."
"I'm not sleepy." Lin Huayin tightened Xiao Zheng's hand. "Talk to me."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he seemed a little disarmed: "Okay. What does the Queen want to know?"
"What trouble have you encountered?" Lin Huayin asked bluntly.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng exhaled a breath. "The big cultural and entertainment project was going very smoothly, but Shang Yao suddenly withdrew its investment, leaving Linghu Zhu and I very passive."
"Withdraw capital?" Lin Huayin frowned slightly. "Is she playing tricks on you?"
"Her brain is normal and there is nothing wrong with her." Xiao Zheng lay flat on the bed, gently holding Lao Lin's waist, and said with emotion. "The current situation is very complicated, and the opponent is too powerful. Anyone can retreat. Shang Yao is no exception. What's more, behind her is Shang Jingtian, who is very good at brainwashing."
"This old man who has been around for ten thousand years has made mistakes all the way to this day. How can he be willing to be in the line of fire in such a big scene? It is his normal style to get the best out of the situation." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said.
Lin Huayin didn't listen to much of Xiao Zheng's explanation. After receiving the useful information, she immediately analyzed: "Without the support of the Yan family, big entertainment projects will have a very difficult time."
How could Xiao Zheng not know
In fact, just by relying on the cooperation between Linghu Zhu and Xiao Zheng, this project could have gradually grown stronger and even reached the level of a monopoly.
But precisely because of Shang Yao's joining, Linghu Zhu became more confident and took greater steps. Many projects are even advanced on multiple fronts.
But right now, the project is only halfway advanced, and follow-up funds have suddenly dropped sharply—
Big entertainment projects are in crisis.
If there are not enough funds, some projects must be stopped. If you really can't bear it, you can only slow down. But shopping malls are like battlefields. Walking too fast is dangerous, and walking too slowly is equally dangerous.
Sail against the current.
Especially in such a complicated situation. Changes will happen if things are too late. How can Linghuzhu be willing to slow down
Before going home, he talked to Linghu Zhu on the phone. Not surprisingly, Linghuzhu is secretly looking for investors. Xiao Zheng originally wanted to refuse, fearing that he would make too big a deal and the information would be exposed, which would be used as media articles by interested parties. Affect the market image of big entertainment.
But he also knows that Linghuzhu is like an ant on a hot pot now. If he cannot attract investment, his chance of fighting will be delayed. There was no stopping it.
"What are your plans?" Lin Huayin asked curiously.
In fact, the answer is nothing more than two.
Either follow suit and quickly end the cooperation with Linghu Zhu. The initial investment was wasted. Or, ENN will make additional investment.
However, ENN's funds are also very tight. It can barely get 1 billion or 80 billion, but it can easily invest tens of billions. It is impossible for Xinao to take it out. Even if you can get it, it will be difficult to get it through the board of directors.
Big Entertainment is a new project, and so far no one can guarantee how high its profits will be. Huge resources have been spent and a lot of money has been spent. Maybe even Xiao Zheng's group of die-hard confidants would try their best to persuade the confused Azheng brother not to be impulsive.
"The project must continue. I am very optimistic about this big entertainment industry, and it will also be the mainstream model in the future." Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes. "If you don't have any money, please change it. Xinao can't refund it."
"It's up to you." Lin Huayin nodded slightly and said. "But you have to let Linghu Zhu keep a low profile. If the news is leaked, it will cause criticism outside."
Xiao Zheng couldn't laugh or cry: "He has already started to move. There is no way, this blow is too big for him. He cannot sit still and wait for death."
"Indiscriminate investment is a taboo. In the early stage of the project, you need to be like-minded and have a common vision and strategic direction. Once the shareholder group is mixed, it will cause many internal contradictions and conflicts." Lin Huayin said cautiously. "By then, no matter how much money you have, your hands will be tied."
Xiao Zheng nodded to express his understanding.
This is also one of his worries. So next he will communicate with Linghu Zhu. We must not engage in a bloody storm that damages the public image of the entertainment industry.
"Okay. After we finish talking about this, let's talk about Shang Yao." Lin Huayin talked a lot and had no intention of ending the topic immediately.
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "What are you talking about?"
"There must be a specific reason for her sudden withdrawal of capital, right?" Lin Huayin said with narrowed eyes.
"She mentioned a key word to me." Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Although so far, I don't quite agree with it, let alone understand it. But in fact, this sentence is a concept put forward by a certain big leader."
"What concept?" Lin Huayin asked.
"Three parts of the world." Xiao Zheng said word by word.
When Lin Huayin heard this, a flash of light flashed across her beautiful eyes: "It's a very scientific concept."
"You think so too?" Xiao Zheng said unexpectedly.
"Of course." Lin Huayin nodded lightly. "This is history and a trend."
