As the second largest shareholder of Disney, Zhang Xiao sat down next to Stanford.

Stanford said: "I believe everyone is aware of the board of directors' issues this time. Universal Pictures filed for bankruptcy protection this morning, and Chairman Marlington has absconded. It can be said that the history of the six major Hollywood giants has come to an end.

"

"Although Universal Pictures is bankrupt, it has a lot of high-quality assets. I hope everyone can agree to my proposal to raise US$50 billion and win Universal Pictures in one fell swoop."

"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, everyone can speak freely."

Zhang Xiao was the first to speak and said straightforwardly: "I completely agree with the motion proposed by Mr. Stanford."

Maxwell, the third largest shareholder, was silent for a while and then said: "How to distribute the shares?"

Stanford smiled and said: "It's very simple. Everyone can raise funds according to the shares they hold."

Maxwell shook his head and said: "Mr. Stanford, my company is currently having problems with capital turnover. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the money for financing."

Several other shareholders also expressed that they did not have that much money.

Zhang Xiao coughed and said: "Everyone, there is an old saying in our country, which is called sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. One of the most important reasons for Disney's annexation of Universal Pictures is that we have become the public enemy of the other four giants."

"If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to increase our own strength and make them have some scruples, within three years, we, the Disney Company, may become the second Universal."

Stanford also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Xiao's words, and continued: "If everyone agrees, Mr. Zhang and I are willing to contribute 20 billion U.S. dollars each, and the remaining 10 billion U.S. dollars can be shared equally by everyone."

Maxwell said: "Mr. Stanford, Mr. Zhang, I agree with this easy plan of 50 billion. As for the funds, I think it will be solved by the two of you!"

As soon as he spoke, other shareholders agreed.

Stanford thought about it and said, "Okay, no problem."

Two hours later, everyone signed their names on Disney's financing agreement.

Stanford and Zhang Xiao each invested US$25 billion to purchase Disney's shares. Since then, Zhang Xiao's shares in Disney have increased to 15.7%, while Stanford's shares have reached 21.4%.

···

Time flies, two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

After a series of operations, Zhang Xiao obtained ownership of half of Universal Cinemas, three Universal special effects companies and the Universal Film Library.

Disney Studios has also purchased most of Universal Pictures' high-quality assets, with a market value reaching a terrifying US$400 billion, making it the world's largest film company, and its market share in Hollywood has increased to 40%.

At five o'clock in the morning that day, Zhang Xiao came out of Yuzhou International Airport, took a deep breath, and said: "The air in China still smells comfortable!"

The manager Fang Tong arrived: "It smells good, but it has a bit of a smell."

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said: "Brother Fang, how about you go to the Lighthouse Country to work for a few years? I will make arrangements for you?"

Fang Tong quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no matter how good the foreign country is, it is not our place. I will never leave China until I die."

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "What a coincidence, so do I."

Two hours later, Zhang Xiao returned home.

In order to surprise Yang Mi, Zhang Xiao did not tell her in advance that he would be back today.

Gently opening the door, Zhang Xiao took off his slippers, went to the bathroom and took a hot bath, then went into the kitchen and started making breakfast.

"Wow~~~"

In the bedroom, Xiao Xinxin suddenly burst into tears.

"Don't cry, little Xinxin, mom is here!" Yang Mi comforted the child and changed her diaper.

Soon, Xiao Xinxin fell asleep again.

After walking out of the bedroom, Yang Mi suddenly heard the sound of cutting things coming from the kitchen. She walked to the kitchen, took a look, and asked, "Aunt Wang, are you in there?"

At this time, Zhang Xiao was wearing an apron, holding a kitchen knife, and smiling at her.

Yang Mi asked with surprise on her face: "Husband, when did you come back?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "How was it half an hour ago? Wasn't it a pleasant surprise?"

Yang Mi nodded, hugged Zhang Xiao, and said, "It's indeed surprising."

Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, you go and do your work first. I'll make a few baskets of your favorite soup dumplings, and some preserved egg and lean meat porridge. I'll call you when it's ready."

Yang Mi smiled sweetly, pecked Zhang Xiao on the lips, and said, "Thank you, husband."

Half an hour later, the soup dumplings and eight-treasure porridge were all finished, and Yang Mi and Xiao Xinxin got up just in time.

Zhang Xiao shouted with a smile: "Xiao Xinxin, dad is back."

Recently, Zhang Xiao has been video-recording with his children almost every day, so Xiao Xinxin recognized him at a glance.

"dad!"

"Eh!"

When Zhang Xiao heard his daughter call her dad, he agreed with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao burst out with a deep sense of happiness from deep in his heart. This feeling was even happier than when he had earned more than 90 billion US dollars.

While eating, Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi and asked, "By the way, is there anything big happening in the entertainment industry during this period?"

"It's no big deal!" Yang Mi shook her head and said, "Since the collapse of Universal Pictures, Huayi's stock has dropped to its limit for three consecutive days, and its current market value is only 1.2 billion."

Zhang Xiao asked again: "Where is Jiaxing?"

Yang Mi said: "Jiaxing cooperated with Penguin Video website and launched three idol dramas in one go, successfully avoiding the crisis. By the way, the five newcomers who originally left all came back to the company to find me, and they were all crying."

Zhang Xiao sneered and said, "How did you handle it?"

Yang Mi smiled and said: "Of course I asked them out politely. I have no interest in getting entangled with these five bastards who are unjust for profit."

"Well done!" Zhang Xiao praised in praise: "This is Qingtian's first time dealing with an artist. You must be ruthless. If you change your order overnight, no one will care about you."

"I understand!" Yang Mi nodded and said: "Old European Communist Party, there have been a lot of speculations about the last financial war on the Internet recently. I think you'd better clarify."

Zhang Xiao was stunned and asked: "What are you clarifying?"

Yang Mi said: "There are rumors everywhere on the Internet that you were able to raise hundreds of billions of dollars to defeat Universal Pictures because you have unclear relationships with the big capitalists on Wall Street."

"And the video of Marlington's murder. They said it was given to you by the intelligence department of the Lighthouse Country. And the reason why you can become a shareholder of Disney is because the government of the Lighthouse Country is behind it."

"Anyway, there are different opinions. There are many opinions on major forums and websites. Some people even say that you were sent by the Lighthouse Country."

When Zhang Xiao heard this, he immediately became happy and said with a smile: "With the imagination of this generation of netizens, it would be a pity not to become a screenwriter."

Yang Mi said sternly: "Husband, I think you'd better take it seriously. Just looking at it like this is not a long-term solution."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Then I will hold a press conference tomorrow to explain these issues."
