After the agreement was signed, Su Changde had a bright smile on his face.

At this time, Wu Rui, the person in charge of Luzi Cinemas, took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase and said: "Director Su, this is the theater application of our Luzi Cinemas. We hope to be able to apply for it in June next year."

Build another thousand theaters before and make our own contribution to China's film industry."

Suoli's CEO Xiao Lishan also said: "Director Su, Suoli also has a plan to expand the theater chain. The relevant materials will be delivered in three days."

Su Changde smiled slightly and said: "Sorry, I just received an order from my superiors. The Department of Culture will no longer accept applications from any theater chains because China's film market is already saturated."

When Wu Rui heard this, his face instantly darkened, and he said: "Director Su, I think you are deliberately trying to embarrass our overseas film investors, and there is a sense of revenge in it."

Su Changde calmly said: "Mr. Wu, I don't understand what you mean. Have we met in private? What personal grudge do I have with you?"

Wu Rui said angrily: "Because we didn't give you face last time, so you hold a grudge. Humph, the most important thing for your Chinese officials is face."

Su Changde shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu, you misunderstood. You are a foreign company. As long as you don't do anything illegal or criminal, our Culture Department has no authority to control you."

"Just like this agreement, if you don't want to sign it, we don't force you to sign it."

Wu Rui said sharply: "But you took advantage of your position as Director of the Department of Culture and refused to let us review theater applications. Director Su, we will complain to the embassy about you."

Upon hearing this, Su Changde said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, I just said that this is an order from the superior, not something I can decide."

At this time, Xiao Lishan said: "Director Su, the reason why your superiors issued this order is because the Chinese film market is saturated? Then I want to ask, why is it saturated?"

"If it is really saturated, will there still be meetings today and three days ago?"

"That's right!" Wu Rui also quickly agreed: "The reason why everyone signed this contract is to arrange the films. If the number of theaters can meet the needs of the film's screening, is there any need to compete for the filming? You are deliberately giving

We put up perceived barriers.”

Su Changde said calmly: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Xiao, you two are late. Yesterday we just approved a theater with a total of 45,000 screens."

"Together with the current 115,000 yuan, the Chinese film market already has 160,000 screens, exceeding the sum of Europe and the United States."

"According to the agreement between China and the World Trade Organization, we have the right to seal this hole."

"This is impossible." After hearing this, Xiao Lishan and Wu Rui looked at each other and said in unison.

"Ahem!" Zhang Xiao, who had been silent at this time, coughed twice and said with a smile: "Sorry, this is really not impossible, because I am the one who applied to build these 45,000 screens."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the entire conference room was in an uproar.

"Let me go, is this true or false?"

"If Sunny Cinemas is to build another 45,000 screens, then they will have 60,000 screens!"

"Great, this is a good thing for us film production companies."

"Mr. Zhang is still awesome!"

“···”

Su Changde glanced at the bewildered representatives of the six major theaters, and finally let out the bad breath in his heart.

Wu Rui looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Mr. Zhang, you'd better not make such a joke. That's 45,000 yuan for the screen, not 4,500 yuan."

"Please pay attention to your wording. You are just a representative. You are not qualified to speak to me in such a tone." Zhang Xiao directly replied domineeringly: "What I just said is very clear. Qingtian Cinema has been

We made 3.8 billion, which is more than 7 billion in one year, so we will calculate it as 7 billion."

"The current total number of screens in Sunny Cinema is less than 12,000, which means we have to build 48,000 more, which is four times the current scale."

"Once completed, we will be able to earn more than 30 billion per year, which will be more than 5 billion in U.S. dollars. Why don't I do such a good deal?"

Because not all of the previous 15,000 yuan was completed, and now only 12,000 yuan has been completed, but the total number of screens in Qingtian Cinema Line does already exceed 60,000.

At this time, Su Changde also said with a smile: "Originally, Mr. Zhang planned to build 100,000 screens, but because it involved monopoly issues, we only approved him for 45,000 yuan."

Hearing what Su Changde said, Zhang Xiao cursed in his heart, "Damn, I really know how to make it up."

However, he still had an indignant look on his face. After all, he had to cooperate with Su Changde to complete the play, so he said: "When I received the call from Director Su this morning, I was indeed a little annoyed."

"It's such a pity that such a good opportunity to make money is gone. The Department of Culture is too stingy."

Su Changde kept smiling in his heart and explained: "Mr. Zhang, there is nothing we can do. This is a rule, no exceptions can be made."

When Xiao Lishan saw the two of them performing double sex here, he sneered in his heart, but said: "Mr. Zhang, it's easy to choke when eating alone. Aren't you worried about indigestion?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Mr. Xiao, it's only one or two billion US dollars. I don't care about it at all. To put it very Versailles, do you think I lack this little money?"

Xiao Lishan said: "I know that with Mr. Zhang's worth, he will definitely not be short of this little money, but with such a large amount of funds, even if we try hard, we can't easily get it, and you actually say you don't care about it.

Come on, it seems Mr. Zhang likes to brag!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, didn't you hear about the stock market war between me and Universal Pictures last year? I spent a total of 150 billion U.S. dollars at that time, and the final profit was nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars.

U.S. dollars.”

"Some time ago, your CEO of Columbia Pictures slandered "Zhu Xian". In anger, I shorted a large amount of his stock. Later, when I saw the situation of Columbia Pictures changing, I went long in your stock. This is a positive and a reverse.

Since then, I have earned more than 10 billion U.S. dollars."

"Mr. Xiao, do you think this mere one or two billion U.S. dollars is nothing in my eyes? Do you think I won't be able to get it?"

After hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the entire conference room became lively again.

"Oh my god, this is so cool!"

"Mr. Zhang is really too rich."

"It's equivalent to more than 200 billion U.S. dollars in liquidity. No wonder Mr. Zhang doesn't take these 20 billion U.S. dollars seriously."

"Have you ever done some calculations? It seems that Mr. Zhang earned more than 10 billion US dollars from Suo Li. In other words, Suo Li's money was used to build Qingtian Cinemas, and the ownership is still owned by Qingtian."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

“···”

After Xiao Lishan heard Zhang Xiao's words, a cold light burst out in his eyes and said: "Mr. Zhang, it turns out that you were the one who suppressed Columbia Pictures' stock price in the first place!"
