This time, instead of making an appointment at Longfeng Tower like before, he chose the private club established by Linghu Zhu in Yanjing. Because of the Bai family's lesson, Linghuzhu's club was opened in a relatively busy area. It has a large passenger flow and is supported by Northeastern hometown associations. It is also considered popular among private clubs. Invisibly, it added chips and background to Linghuzhu.
Xiao Zheng went alone and was warmly greeted by the manager as soon as he arrived in the lobby. And arranged a private room as soon as possible.
"The boss is on the way and will be there soon." The manager had obviously received the news, and everything was arranged very quickly and properly. "Boss Xiao, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I will arrange it for you right now."
"Anything is fine." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly and went straight to the box.
Perhaps because of his high status and great influence, Xiao Zheng was not as friendly as before in speaking and doing things. Of course, this is not a change in his character, but the way he chooses to get along with each other after suffering a lot of losses.
There is no way, once we get close, there will be endless harassment. Appropriate majesty and solemnity can shield many people from disturbing you.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Linghu Zhu arrived late.
As soon as he entered the box, he hugged Xiao Zheng warmly and said, "Old Xiao, we just held an impromptu conference call. It was delayed."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I just came to talk to you."
Linghuzhu nodded calmly: "I haven't chatted with you for a while. Come on, Lao Xiao, please start. Let's talk while drinking."
Linghuzhu threatened that he hadn't had dinner yet, so he asked the club to prepare a large table of delicious food and served two bottles of Maotai. It was obvious that he planned to stay drunk with Xiao Zheng until he returned home.
After dinner, facing this table full of delicious food, I really didn’t have much appetite. Just drink with peanuts. He smiled and said: "I have been paying attention to the promotion of major cultural and entertainment projects in China, and they are doing very well. However, we still have to be cautious, because Lin has already said that he will enter the cultural and entertainment field."
"Lin?" Linghu Zhu was rather disapproving. "They started out as traditional companies. Even if they opened up the Internet market with a lot of capital, I don't think they will have much impact on us in terms of entertainment. Lin has no genes in this area at all."
Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "Not necessarily. Lin has been undergoing business transformation in recent years. It has also acquired many game companies and film and television companies. Coupled with the huge capital chain as the backing, it has to be guarded against."
Linghu Zhu nodded and said, "I have been collecting inside information about the Lin family. Don't worry, Lao Xiao, I will take good defense."
Xiao Zheng smiled, raised his glass and said, "That's good. This project has cost us a lot of energy and investment, but we can't let it slip during the siege."
When Linghu Zhu heard this, an imperceptible indifference flashed across his face. This seemed to disdain Xiao Zheng for using the word "we".
Why use us
From the very beginning, the big entertainment project started with the word Linghu. Whether it is Xinao or Shang Yao, they are only sources of investment funds. All other aspects are handled by Linghu Zhu.
It can be said that he is the soul of Linghu Entertainment. When the big guys outside talk about big entertainment, they will only look for Linghuzhu.
This is the most shining label after Linghuzhu entered business.
Xiao Zheng sensed Linghu Zhu's indifference and didn't say much. He just brought the topic to the point of tonight: "Did you go to New York some time ago?"
This sudden inquiry made Linghu Zhu feel quite uncomfortable. After all, we are just partners. Is it possible that we have to report to you wherever we go
"Yes. I talked with some bosses about the overseas expansion of Big Entertainment." Linghuzhu said vaguely.
Some big bosses.
This is how Linghuzhu describes Gandolf, Justin and others. Obviously he didn't intend to talk to Xiao Zheng in detail.
His move made Xiao Zheng suddenly realize. It turns out that Linghuzhu has changed.
Linghu Zhu is now shrouded in countless haloes. Under the praise of many big guys, he expanded. I also found a strong sense of presence.
Let me ask, who doesn’t want to be admired
In the early stages of big entertainment, Linghuzhu was always under the shadow of Xiao Zheng and couldn't escape. But now, people have regarded Dawen Entertainment as Linghuzhu's personal label. This gave him a sense of accomplishment and he wanted to get rid of his relationship with Xiao Zheng as much as possible.
Of course, the relationship is only in the eyes of outsiders.
He still needs the huge resources of ENN, and it is impossible to ignore the important roles played by Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao in large entertainment projects.
Just take Gandolf, a Wall Street tycoon, how could he have been able to get in touch so quickly if Xiao Zheng hadn't been the one pulling the strings
And yet—Justin came to him. But it made Linghu Zhu find a strong sense of existence. This is also a key step towards his expansion.
Even such a heavyweight Wall Street giant has secretly met with him in person. This is obviously not only because he is a young rich man, but also because the influence of Big Entertainment is enough to break the established environment of the North American market. He wanted to get a piece of the action.
Linghuzhu didn't agree to Justin directly, not because he had too many concerns, but because he needed to carefully consider an issue. Will Justin and Gandolf enter the market together, will it damage the overseas market of Dawen Entertainment
After all, these two giants have never been at odds with each other.
"Among these big bosses, is there Justin?" Xiao went straight to the topic and stopped beating around the bush.
Linghu Zhu was startled when he heard this, and then said rather strangely: "Old Xiao, you are actually checking me?"
The words were not sharp, but they also revealed a hint of embarrassing helplessness.
This move was to retreat in order to advance, obviously to interrupt Xiao Zheng and secretly change the concept to change the topic.
But Xiao Zheng was already a master of negotiation, so how could he be led by Linghu Zhu
"Do we still need to deliberately investigate this matter?" Xiao Zheng's tone gradually became serious. "As far as I know, Justin had a big fight with Gandolf over this matter, and wanted to bring the matter to Congress. If that's true, then the big entertainment industry in the North American market will likely be constrained by national policies, and it will be difficult to Go big.”
When Linghu Zhu heard this, he disapproved and said, "I don't think so."
After a pause, Linghuzhu said confidently: "Large entertainment projects are a very healthy industry. When I decided on this idea, I believed that it would be loved by people all over the world. This so-called stabbing in Congress may just be my refusal. Having Justin made him jump a little bit. But I don't think it will have any impact on us. On the contrary, it is also a momentum building invisibly."
Linghuzhu is very confident and shows great foresight.
However, this seemed extremely dangerous in Xiao Zheng's eyes!
