Chapter 845: The world's richest man(1/2)
Zhang Xiao heard this and said disdainfully: "Brother Jin, our eldest brother, let alone the second brother, are you like me if you don't sleep at home?"
Wu Jin retorted: "Who is like you? In our family, I have always had the final say in everything."
Zhang Xiao smiled and asked: "Who cares about the money?"
"I don't care about money." Wu Jin replied.
"You can pull me down!" Zhang Xiao said: "Even the financial power is in the hands of my wife, how dare you say that you are the boss? Your shame is almost as good as mine."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the two fighting each other, the others laughed out loud again.
Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, no more joking, four big guys, I wish you good food, drink and fun during this trip."
Wu Jin agreed: "It would be better if I could gain ten pounds."
The four female guests spat at Wu Jin at the same time: "Bah!"
Zhang Xiao said sarcastically: "Brother Jin, I'm not talking about you, but your mouth is really ugly. What do you mean by being ten pounds fat?"
"I think I need to gain at least thirty or forty pounds to make this trip worthwhile."
Reba stared at Zhang Xiao angrily and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, do you believe that I will go back and tell my sister this?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao immediately gave in and shut his mouth.
"Xu~~~"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
After a while of commotion, the four female guests began to check in and board the plane.
At first they looked reluctant to leave, but after the women left, the four men looked at each other, stretched out two fingers at the same time, and shouted: "Yeah!"
Wu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I finally got married. In the next month, I will finally get married to the eldest member of the family."
Wang Feng said: "Should we find a place to have a drink and celebrate?"
Zhang Xiao said: "That is necessary!"
Wu Jindao: "Zhang Xiao, I don't think the food in those hotels is as delicious as yours. How about we go buy some food and you show off your skills?"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I have all kinds of food at home. No need to buy it. Come on, let's go to my place for a drink."
···
The next time, Zhang Xiao began to produce the cartoon "Zootopia". He did not choose to go to Hollywood for production, but went to Taishan Special Effects Company and found Liu Haiquan.
The current Taishan Special Effects Company is incredible. Not only is it rich in capital, but its outstanding special effects employees surpass those of its predecessors. It is definitely the number one special effects company in China.
"Old Liu, what's going on? Can it be done?" Zhang Xiao looked at Liu Haiquan and asked.
Liu Haiquan was calmer than before. After listening to Zhang Xiao's request in detail, he said: "There will definitely be some difficulties, but I believe we can overcome them."
Zhang Xiao said happily: "That's good."
Liu Haiquan asked: "Are there any time requirements?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "It would be best within half a year."
Liu Haiquan smiled and said: "Within half a year, it is equivalent to having no requirements."
"Eh~~~" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Comrade Liu, you are quite confident!"
Liu Haiquan said: "Brother Xiao, now our Taishan Special Effects Company is already the top special effects company in China and even the world. If we don't have any confidence, how can we be worthy of such a big name?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed and said: "Okay, you really look like a big boss now. When you brag, you are no worse than anyone else."
Liu Haiquan wiped the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "My wife said the same thing."
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but smile.
Although Zhang Xiao saved enough time for the production of "Zootopia", Liu Haiquan still did not slack off at all.
In addition to the staff who had to do other movie special effects, Liu Haiquan gathered all the people he could mobilize, a total of more than 3,000 people, to work together to produce "Zootopia".
As for other domestic and foreign movies that come to him, Liu Haiquan has not accepted them yet.
In addition to cooking and picking up the children, Zhang Xiao would come to Taishan Special Effects Company to discuss movie issues with Liu Haiquan every day.
Time flies so fast, one month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The economic crisis that had been brewing for a long time in the Lighthouse Country finally broke out completely.
The price of gold has soared, inflation has plummeted, the stock market has plummeted, countless companies have gone bankrupt, and the entire Western economy has been in depression. Although their relevant departments have introduced various rescue plans, it still does not help.
After finishing the meal, Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao with burning eyes and said: "Husband, you are really amazing."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "You are talking about the financial crisis?"
Yang Mi nodded and said: "I watched the news. This financial crisis is very serious. It is expected to last for a long time. You still had the foresight to exchange all the shares of your uncle's company for cash and gold."
Zhang Xiao said: "This is all thanks to Clark. If it hadn't been for his reminder and careful inspection of the market in the lighthouse country, I would not have made such a decision."
Yang Mi nodded and asked, "What should we do next?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Wait, now is just the beginning of the crisis. Those high-quality companies have not been damaged yet. When the crisis is in the middle, it will be the time for me to show my talents."
Yang Mi asked with a smile: "Husband, how much money can you probably make this time?"
Zhang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Assets are not measured by money alone. My goal is to acquire shares of high-quality companies. The number does not need to be too large, around fifty will be enough."
"As long as there are no problems with my plan, after the financial crisis is over, my assets will reach at least two trillion U.S. dollars. If I operate well, three trillion or four trillion U.S. dollars is not impossible."
Yang Mi's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in disbelief: "Now I finally understand what it means to be rich and invincible."
Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "No matter how rich a person is, it is impossible to be worthy of a country. What's more, even if you have ten trillion US dollars, it is of no use. It's just a good-looking number."
"Because if you say you spend 100 million US dollars every day, you won't be able to spend it all in your lifetime."
Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "You're right."
After dinner, Zhang Xiao walked outside with Yang Mi, and Boss Ma called him.
"Boss Ma, what instructions do you have?" Zhang Xiao asked with a smile.
Boss Ma was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, congratulations, your judgment is completely correct."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It was just a gamble. Fortunately, I won the bet."
Ma Laodaodao: "The problem is that your victory has established your position as the richest man in the world."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "In terms of personal assets, whether it is on or off the stage, I have already been the richest man in the world. Now it is just the icing on the cake."
Ma Laodaodao: "In a decisive moment, we will hold a national conference of industrial and commercial CEOs to jointly discuss the response strategies to this financial crisis. Are you interested in coming to participate?"
"Not interested!" Zhang Xiao said without hesitation: "You know me, I have never managed any company. In terms of business, I am just a novice. I can't understand it even if I go there."
Boss Ma smiled bitterly and said: "A white man has become the richest man in the world. We all should be killed by a piece of tofu."
Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "There is no way, who makes me a genius?"
Ma Laodaodao: "You are indeed a genius, but I still hope you can come."
Zhang Xiao said: "Boss Ma, I really don't have time. These days, I am going to the Lighthouse Country to prepare for the purchase."
"I have indeed won the first move now, but whether I can turn this first move into a huge victory still requires a lot of work."
Boss Ma chuckled and said: "You can still keep a clear head under such circumstances. It seems that your kid's ability to walk away today is definitely not a fluke."
Zhang Xiao said: "It doesn't matter if it's a fluke or not. My goal now is high-quality overseas assets. When I get all these done, I'll treat you to a drink."
Ma Laodaodao: "Okay!"
Coincidentally, just as Boss Ma's call was finished, another boss Ma's call also came in.
Just like Boss Ma, he wanted to invite Zhang Xiao to attend the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, but Zhang Xiao naturally declined.
Yang Mi smiled and said: "Husband, you are really a big shot now. Even Erma called you personally to invite you."
Zhang Xiao made a sound and said: "They must be holding back their bad intentions."
Yang Mi asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
A gleam of wisdom flashed in Zhang Xiao's eyes and he said: "Because they are all interested in the money in my hand."
"The financial crisis in the West will still affect the country, but to a slightly lesser extent. However, it will still be a very big blow to those real estate and Internet companies that rely on borrowing to survive."
"Maybe it will be over. In this case, suddenly a super rich man with such a huge capital flow appears in front of those business owners. What do you think will happen next?"
Without thinking, Yang Mi blurted out: "I will definitely eat you."
"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "The only people in the business community who knew about my conversion of shares into cash were them. At this juncture, they suddenly invited me to participate in an event that I had never participated in before.
What kind of federation of industry and commerce? You can imagine what will happen.”
Yang Mi smiled and said: "Hubby, you are really a bunch of old foxes!"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "In front of the two of them, I am just a little fox at best."
Yang Mi smiled. She didn't think so in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she asked: "Are you going to the Lighthouse Country next?"
Zhang Xiao snorted and said: "About half a month from now. "Zootopia" is at a critical moment during this period, and I have to keep a close eye on it."
