After the signing was completed and Zhang Yiyi treated the guests to dinner, Zhang Xiao, Ma Boss, Ma Teng, Li Liangjie, Wu Jin, and Yu Qian gathered at the zoo to have a barbecue.

Boss Ma was flipping the mutton skewers and said, "You guys really know how to enjoy it."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Barbecuing by yourself is called enjoyment. Is there something wrong with your brains as rich people?"

Boss Ma rolled his eyes and said: "First of all, we don't dare to call you rich in front of you, a pervert worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Secondly, the food you bake yourself tastes the best. Mr. Ma, do you think so?"

Bar?"

Ma Teng ate a piece of grilled sausage and said: "That's right, since I founded Penguin, I really haven't baked anything myself."

Li Liangjie said: "This only shows that you don't understand life. Learn from Zhang Xiao and let go when it's time to let go."

Boss Ma smiled and said: "Is it possible to imitate him and live a retired life before the age of thirty-five?"

Zhang Xiao defended: "I haven't retired yet, okay? I went to film "Sleeping on Hard Work" a few days ago, and four sprinklers poured water on me and turned me into a drowned rat."

"Fortunately, my health is good. If it were anyone else, I would have to be sick for half a month and have to make up classes."

Ma Teng said: "Mr. Zhang, I really don't understand. You are so rich, why are you still working so hard?"

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Mr. Ma, you can call me by my name directly. This title of Mr. Zhang is a bit harsh."

Ma Teng smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhang Xiao continued: "I used to be very poor. I acted and became a star just to make money and stand out. Later, when I got rich, I regarded acting as my hobby. Alas, to put it bluntly, I still can't escape the word fame and fortune.

.”

"The ancients said that fame and wealth always come before profit. It is absolutely correct. Although I have passed the stage of chasing profit, I still can't see through this name. I always think about its role in the history of Chinese and even world movies.

Leave something behind."

"There's nothing I can do about it. As a layman, I guess I won't be able to become the kind of master who doesn't like the fireworks of the world in this life."

Ma Laodao: "Damn, who is sitting here who is not a common person? I have always believed that those who do not eat the fireworks of the world are dead people, not masters, but even if they are private individuals, don't their descendants often burn paper for them?"

"This can be considered the scope of human fireworks."

Yu Qian smiled and said: "Only saints can understand the word fame and wealth."

Ma Teng shook his head and said: "No, Confucius, Zhuangzi and Lao Tzu are saints. They have been working hard for their own theories all their lives. In the end, they still cannot escape the word name."

Li Liangjie said: "Stop, this topic is too heavy, let's stop here. If you have wine now, you will get drunk now. Drinking is the most important thing."

"Brother Jie is right." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I suggest that the four of us raise a toast together to welcome the two bosses to our base camp."

Yu Qian chuckled and said, "Okay, cheers."

"cheers!"

After drinking and eating, a few people took a walk in the zoo.

Boss Ma suddenly looked at Zhang Xiao and asked: "Zhang Xiao, are you really not optimistic about Douyin's overseas development?"

Zhang Xiao said angrily: "Boss Ma, didn't you ask me this question before?"

Ma Laodaodao: "I heard Zhang Yiming say at noon that you were planning to liquidate all your overseas shares. This made me feel a little uneasy. I have always admired your investment vision. Can you tell me more about it?

Tell me, why did you make such a judgment?"

When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Zhang Xiao did not hide anything and said straightforwardly: "I feel that there is something wrong with the finance of the Lighthouse Country."

It won't be long before all Zhang Xiao's assets worth more than 400 billion US dollars will be sold. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from Ma Boss and Ma Teng, so there is no need for Zhang Xiao to hide anything.

As for Li Liangjie and the other three, although they all have considerable net worth, compared with them, they are really nothing.

Ma Teng stopped, his expression became quite solemn, and said: "Financial crisis in the lighthouse country?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "It has been more than ten years since the last financial crisis. According to previous cycles, it should have broken out long ago. I want to sell most of my shares and convert them into gold or cash."

, just to reduce losses.”

Boss Ma and Ma Teng looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What if it didn't happen?"

Zhang Xiao stretched out his thumb and index finger and said: "I will lose at least this amount."

Wu Jin exclaimed: "Eight billion US dollars?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and said, "The big one is 80 billion U.S. dollars. It might even break through the 100 billion U.S. dollars mark."

Ma Teng took a breath and said, "Zhang Xiao, you are taking a huge gamble."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Yes, I am just gambling. If I win, within three years, my net worth will exceed one trillion US dollars. If I lose, I will be finished."

Ma Teng took a deep look at Zhang Xiao and said: "In the shopping mall, I only admire one person, the founder of Warwick, and now I want to add you."

Zhang Xiao said: "Because I am stupid and have a lot of money."

Ma Teng said: "Of course not, because you dare to stick to your own judgment, even if the cost is a loss of nearly 100 billion US dollars. If it were another person, he might choose a safer way."

Zhang Xiao said: "You think too highly of me. I'm just speculating. Anyway, even if I lose, I'm still a billionaire, and it won't have any impact on my life."

Ma Laodaodao: "Although I shouldn't say this, I still hope you lose. Otherwise, countless businessmen from all over the world may jump off buildings."

Zhang Xiao said: "We'll see, hell, at worst I'll be making money from bank interest in the next few years."

Wu Jin gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother, you are so awesome."

After walking around the zoo for a few times, everyone went back their separate ways.

The next day, Zhang Xiao flew to New York to deal with the financial issue with Clark.

Taking advantage of Wall Street's lack of action, Zhang Xiao spent just three weeks to convert 85% of his shares into cash, then purchased gold and silver, and exchanged them for soft currency.

After all was completed, the total value of more than 440 billion US dollars had become 4,100 US dollars, which were stored in more than ten banks.

Such a big move immediately attracted the attention of Wall Street. Many today's Gan tycoons asked Zhang Xiao directly or briefly why he wanted to sell so many stocks.

Zhang Xiao's answer was very consistent. It was for large-scale investment in the future. As for what to invest in, it was naturally a commercial secret and could not be disclosed to the outside world.

After that was done, Zhang Xiao returned to China. It was already November.

"Husband, you want to show "War for the Planet of the Apes" on Christmas? Are you kidding me?" Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao in surprise and asked.

Zhang Xiao said angrily: "When did I make a joke about a movie?"

Now Yang Mi couldn't understand it even more, and continued to ask: "Why?"

Reba next to him was moved in his heart and asked: "Is it because of the financial crisis?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "This time I went to the Lighthouse Country. I feel that the Lighthouse Country is getting closer and closer to the financial crisis. Some capital on Wall Street seems to have noticed something and is in a wait-and-see state."

"Once they short sell you or sell stocks in large quantities, that will be the beginning of a financial crisis."

"And the beginning of a crisis is often the most violent. Just like Boss Ma said, by then, I don't know how many businessmen will jump off the building."

Yang Mi said: "I hope your judgment is correct. I will arrange the screening immediately. By the way, hubby, when is your concert going to start?"

Zhang Xiao said: "I have already thought about it. I will be in the Bird's Nest in the capital on November 18th, in the Northeast on November 26th, in Qingniao on December 5th, in the ancient city on December 12th, and in the ancient city on December 12th."

On the eighteenth day of the month, it’s at the Magic City Stadium.”

"There are five concerts in total, all in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. When holding the concert, I will also promote "War for the Planet of the Apes"."

"After the concert is over, we will go directly to the Lighthouse Country and participate in a few shows. What do you think of my arrangement?"

Yang Mi said: "Husband, I think it is better to stagger the release time. It will be released overseas at midnight on December 24th, focusing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it will be released domestically on December 30th, focusing on the New Year's Day holiday. This way

If so, the effect may be better and the time can be changed flexibly.”

Reba said: "Second, sister's suggestion is very good."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "My greatest advantage is that I follow the good deeds. Since Ms. Yang Mi has said so, then you should arrange it according to this method. I look forward to good news from you."

Yang Mi and Reba looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

There is still half a month left before the Bird's Nest Concert in Beijing. In the following days, Zhang Xiao went to rehearse and communicate with his concert team every day, and was extremely busy.

"Zhang Xiao, don't forget to leave me four concert tickets from the Bird's Nest."

"I got it, Brother Fa."

"Le Zai and I will go to cheer you on on the 18th. Leave me three tickets."

"Brother Hua, don't worry, I've already kept it."

"Sister Mimi, my parents say that Brother Xiao's fans insist on coming to the capital to watch the concert. What do you think we should do?"

"Xiaoying, you said so, can I not leave you a ticket?"

"Sister Mimi, please, four tickets, please leave four tickets for me. I am Xiao Shen's super fan."

"Okay, I understand, I will stay."

···

After the news came out that Zhang Xiao had started a nationwide tour, countless celebrities in the industry called the couple one after another, hoping to get tickets to the concert.

Just like the movie, all the songs written by Zhang Xiao are very classic. No one wants to miss this audio-visual feast.

Yang Mi calculated that there were more than 460 tickets given away.
