What was speechless was that the weather was not kind. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky turned gloomy and it started to drizzle.

"Fuck me." Zhang Yimou, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but curse.

Zhang Xiao looked at his phone and complained: "Damn, this weather forecast is too unreliable. It's raining outside, but the weather forecast actually says it's sunny."

Zhang Yimou sighed and said, "God really doesn't help me."

Yang Mi smiled bitterly and said: "The key is that these two days seem to be due to rain, and it will not clear up until the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Zhang Yimou was moved in his heart and said, "How about we change the script?"

Zhang Xiao immediately understood what Zhang Yimou meant and said, "You don't want me to kill the soldier leader in the rain, do you?"

Zhang Yimou gave a thumbs up and said: "Yes, I think so too. We really coincide with each other."

Zhang Xiao was amused and said: "Director Zhang, do you want to add some heavy rain, lightning and thunder?"

When Zhang Yimou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Dark night, heavy rain, electric fans, thunder, murder... the impact of such a picture will definitely be much stronger than that of a full moon night."

"Mr. Zhang, you are indeed a great international director. This idea is really great."

"I immediately asked the crew to prepare a waterwheel, and then asked the special effects team to create the lightning scene. The lighting crew and camera crew also had to be rearranged."

"Let's try to start filming tomorrow night."

After saying that, Zhang Yimou strode away.

Zhang Xiao was completely dumbfounded and murmured: "Honey, Director Zhang's emotional intelligence is a bit low. Didn't he hear that what I said was ironic?"

Yang Mi let out a puff, knowing that the flowers were blooming, she said out of breath: "Husband, you are so fun."

Zhang Xiao sighed and said: "I really have nothing to do to find fault."

"Hahahaha!" Yang Mi burst into laughter again.

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes and said: "It's almost done. If you smile again, your wrinkles will appear..."

"Fuck you." Yang Mi hit Zhang Xiao and said, "But to be honest, if we follow Director Zhang's idea, I feel that the effect will be much better than the one shot on a full moon night.

"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "I admit this, but the requirements for me will be higher."

Yang Mi said: "In this world, is there any drama that can stump you?"

Zhang Xiao thought about it seriously and said, "Oh, it seems that there really isn't."

"Pfft!" Yang Mi couldn't help laughing again and said, "You can't be more modest."

Zhang Xiao said: "I'm just telling the truth. I'm already very humble."

Yang Mi: "..."

···

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, with light rain still falling in the sky, Zhang Yimou began to film the scenes of Wu Jun's training, and Zhang Xiao was also among those who questioned it.

He and 1,200 soldiers trained in the rain, and the shouts of killing continued to sound, and the momentum was extremely majestic.

Zhang Yimou was very satisfied. Soldiers are soldiers. This kind of momentum is not something ordinary group performers can possess.

After letting the photographer take the overall picture from different angles, Zhang Yimou began to take close-up shots of Zhang Xiao.

I saw him expressionless, holding the spear tightly in his hand, shouting to kill while thrusting the spear out. Occasionally, with his peripheral vision, he looked diagonally across at the leader who offered him half a catty of grain in exchange for his death.

There was a flash of murderous intent.

Zhang Yimou knew that Zhang Xiao was setting the stage for the next step of killing the soldier leader, so he couldn't help but secretly praise: "A good actor is a good actor."

After the training scene was over, Zhang Xiao returned to the hotel and took a hot bath.

Just after I came out of the bathroom, I received a call from Clark.

"Clark, it must be twelve o'clock in the evening in New York, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Zhang Xiao asked.

Clark's voice was quite heavy and he said: "Mr. Zhang, the financial crisis we judge is likely to break out in advance."

Zhang Xiao was stunned and said: "What happened?"

Clark said: "Morrow Financial Corporation, the second largest mortgage lender in the Lighthouse Country, will file for bankruptcy protection within a month."

Zhang Xiao frowned when he heard this and said: "This is impossible, isn't the financial report of Moro Financial Company always very good?"

Clark smiled bitterly and said: "That financial report is false. CEO Moro took away 1.5 billion US dollars. All the relevant responsible persons have been taken to the police station."

"Today Moro Financial Company held a board meeting and decided to raise US$20 billion in the next period of time. If no one takes over, they will file for bankruptcy protection."

It turns out that there is a shareholder in Moro Financial Company who has a good relationship with Clark.

Clark got the news from him. After confirming it, Clark did not dare to neglect and quickly called Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao asked: "What about the Lighthouse State government? Won't they ask?"

Clark said: "It's possible, but once this happens, there will likely be a chain reaction, and the government will be powerless."

Zhang Xiao said: "What is your opinion?"

Clark said: "I think we should prepare for the worst."

After Zhang Xiao thought about it for a while, he said: "Don't make a decision in a hurry. You can rest first. I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"OK!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao searched the financial news of Lighthouse Country on his mobile phone. Good guy, it was all about the demise of Moro Financial Company.

As the second largest financial company specializing in housing loans, if it collapses, it will be in big trouble.

"Fuck, just give me a little more time."

Zhang Xiao cursed harshly, then lay down on the bed and began to think intently.

This is more than 400 billion U.S. dollars, and if you make one wrong move, you may be doomed, so Zhang Xiao has to be cautious.

At this time, the hotel room door was opened and Yang Mi walked in.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's eyes closed and not nervous, she immediately realized that her husband was in big trouble.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be like this.

So Yang Mi lay down next to Zhang Xiao and asked softly: "Husband, what are you thinking about? Tell me and I will give you some advice."

Zhang Xiao opened his eyes, briefly explained the matter, and asked: "Wife, what do you think?"

Yang Mi pursed her lips and said, "Let me think about it."

The future direction of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars is really scary. Even a big-hearted person like Yang Mi was frightened at once.

After being silent for almost five minutes, Yang Mi asked: "Husband, is the financial crisis really going to happen?"

Zhang Xiao snorted and said: "It's probably close to ten, but we can't determine the specific time yet."

Yang Mi said: "How big will the impact of this financial crisis be on China?"

Zhang Xiao said: "China and Lighthouse Country are the two largest economies and are dependent on each other. If there is a problem in Lighthouse Country, China will definitely be affected, but the degree will not be as serious as that of Lighthouse Country."

Yang Mi said: "Then go to a commercial bank to buy gold or exchange US dollars for soft coins, wouldn't that be enough?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "No bank can afford more than 400 billion US dollars. Originally, I wanted to slowly sell the assets and convert them into soft coins or gold, but now it seems that the situation

It didn’t give me much time.”

Yang Mi said: "Then sell it at a loss and convert it into soft coins and gold as soon as possible. But if you make a wrong judgment, the loss will be huge."

Zhang Xiao sighed and said, "That's why I hesitate."

Yang Mi said: "Husband, if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos."

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed when he heard this and said: "That's good, damn, I have 440 billion US dollars, even if I lose 180 billion US dollars, it will be fine."

"Fuck, I'll let Clark start the share transfer procedures right now. As for the funds, I will share them equally with the top ten banks in the world and the major banks in China."

"When the financial crisis breaks out in the later stages, this money will make me a big capitalist worth more than one trillion US dollars. By then, I will be able to walk sideways in the world."

Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled and said, "Husband, haven't you always disliked money?"

Zhang Xiao said: "There is no difference between hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars and trillions of U.S. dollars. It's just an extra zero and a missing zero. The key is the sense of accomplishment."

Yang Mi raised her head, kissed Zhang Xiao on the face, and said, "Husband, what I admire most about you is your attitude towards money. They say that men become bad when they are rich. You are an exception."

Zhang Xiao said: "So, you have made a lot of money. You slept with me when I was confused at first, but you turned out to be the best wife in the world. Oh my god, your luck is incredible.

ah."

Yang Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you praising me, or are you praising you?"

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "We are all one, it doesn't matter who is being praised, Miss Yang, your husband and I are under a lot of pressure now, please relieve me of the pressure first."

···

···

Two hours later, a refreshed Zhang Xiao hugged a somewhat tired Yang Mi out of the room and went to the restaurant for dinner.

At night in the hotel, light rain was falling, and Zhang Xiao's murderous scene in "Sleeping on Fire and Tasting Guts" began.
To be continued...
