Chapter 286: Big Shots
Although Huayi is one of the best film and television companies in China, the film and television industry these days has not yet operated capital.
Therefore, Huayi does not have a single-family office building, but just rents a whole floor as a company in a building in CBD, Beijing.
Soon, Ma Xiaoyun, accompanied by Lin Weidong, arrived at the entrance of the building.
Huang Zhongjun knew that Ma Xiaoyun was coming and had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
After seeing Huang Zhongjun, Ma Xiaoyun introduced Lin Weidong beside him: "Zhongjun, let me introduce you to Mr. Lin from Century Company, named Weidong. Like me, he is also an Internet player."
Originally, when Huang Zhongjun first saw Lin Weidong, he saw that he was so young, and thought he was Ma Xiaoyun's assistant or bodyguard or something.
When Huang Zhongjun saw Lin Weidong's eyes different when he heard Ma Xiaoyun say this, he obviously had a little more appreciation and enthusiasm.
Huang Zhongjun took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted Lin Weidong with a smile: "Mr. Lin, it's a shame for the first time to meet."
Lin Weidong also smiled and stretched out his hand, shook Huang Zhongjun, and said in a tangled manner: "Mr. Huang, we have met before."
"Oh? Is that right? Is there something wrong?" After hearing Lin Weidong's words, Huang Zhongjun was obviously a little surprised. He thought about it and then, but he didn't remember when he had met Lin Weidong.
Ma Xiaoyun was also very curious and echoed: "Wei Dong, what did you meet with the Central Army?"
Lin Weidong said frankly: "A private party in Zhang Chaoyang."
When Huang Zhongjun heard Lin Weidong mention "Zhang Chaoyang", he thought that Lin Weidong was not small.
It is true that Zhang Chaoyang's wealth is far less than that of the richest man Ding Lei, but no matter what he says, he is also a well-known billionaire.
And Lin Weidong is naturally not an ordinary person to get to know a rich man like Zhang Chaoyang.
Wanting to be here, Zhang Chaoyang pretended to be enlightened and said, "So that's the case. I said, why do you think Mr. Lin is so familiar?"
After chatting and making some polite words, Lin Weidong and Ma Xiaoyun visited the interior of Huayi Company under the leadership of Huang Zhongjun.
Lin Weidong initially thought that he could see celebrities or something in Huayi Company, but after a walk around, there was nothing, and he was all behind the scenes.
Afterwards, Lin Weidong and Ma Xiaoyun came to Huang Zhongjun's office.
Huang Zhongjun's office is not so much an office as a studio, because a corner of his office is filled with shelves of paint and brushes, and further into it is an unfinished work.
On the desk are not documents and meeting materials, but piles of picture albums and books. The most eye-catching one has two big words written on it - Van Gogh, and of course there is also a large screen computer.
Moreover, compared to talking about movies and artists, Huang Zhongjun obviously likes to talk about painting more. This studio that can overlook CBD and has a floor-to-ceiling window is now used by him and the well-known director Feng Xiaogang.
In terms of the number of works placed, Huang Zhongjun was far more than Feng Xiaogang.
As the leading director of Huayi Company, Feng Xiaogang has the task of shooting a movie for the company every year, so he is naturally not as leisurely as the boss Huang Zhongjun.
After visiting Huang Zhongjun's studio for a while, Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that you still have the dream of being a painter, Mr. Huang."
Huang Zhongjun smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, Mr. Lin laughed. How many dreams are there? They are all the time. What you do every day is not dreaming."
Unlike many busy entrepreneurs, Huang Zhongjun slept until he woke up naturally every day and hardly had many meetings. Most of his work was done in cafes and studios.
"Actually, after starting a business for one or two years, my work style is like this. I basically don't have meetings, but now the changes are even greater. Now I basically don't come to the company, and the company must be for the sake of painting."
"I think you are in a hotel cafe or studio, and I think there is no difference from an office. This is a person's habit. My way of working is more fragmented and I rarely have serious time."
When he said this, Huang Zhongjun held a cigar in his mouth and crossed his legs. He was wearing a pair of blue Converse canvas shoes.
Afterwards, Huang Zhongjun told Lin Weidong and Ma Xiaoyun some professional knowledge about painting.
Ma Xiaoyun felt very envious when she saw Huang Zhongjun talking with a big cigar.
Lin Weidong felt a little drowsy when he heard this, but because of his face, he didn't say anything directly, and pretended to be very interested.
Of course, Huang Zhongjun invited Ma Xiaoyun this time. In addition to bragging, the most important thing is to hope that Ma Xiaoyun's Alibaba can cooperate with Huayi Brothers and participate in investing in the movies produced by Huayi Brothers.
Ma Xiaoyun did not refuse in person, but told Huang Zhongjun: "With the right opportunity, I will consider Huayi as soon as possible."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoyun looked at Lin Weidong beside him and asked him: "Weidong, are you interested in investing in movies?"
Originally, Huang Zhongjun just wanted Ma Xiaoyun to invest in the movie, but he had never considered Lin Weidong. After hearing what Ma Xiaoyun said, he also looked at Lin Weidong with anticipation.
In Lin Weidong's view, any movies these days are produced by Huayi Brothers and directed by Feng Xiaogang, which can basically be sold well, and at the least I will not lose money.
Lin Weidong thought to himself that he had about 40 million yuan in his hand now, and was worried that he didn't know what to invest in. If he could invest in Huayi Brothers' movies, he might get a share of the pie.
Thinking of this, Lin Weidong said solemnly: "As long as Mr. Ma speaks, I, Lin Weidong, will definitely follow me."
Ma Xiaoyun was also very happy to see Lin Weidong giving face so much. She smiled and patted Lin Weidong on the shoulder, and said gratefully: "Weidong, it's great!"
Huang Zhongjun also felt a light on his face and smiled and said, "It's rare to be so happy today. Why not go to my bar to have a drink."
Huang Zhongjun's mansion is a two-story European villa.
It was Lin Weidong's first time to go to Huang Zhongjun's house, and he was soon attracted by the paintings he collected.
Compared with the works of Huang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang in the company's studio, Lin Weidong is obviously more interested in appreciating the paintings of famous artists.
Moreover, before this, Lin Weidong never knew that oil painting was so expensive, and he didn't know that there were so many considerations in paintings.
Lin Weidong could only sigh in his heart that the interests of rich people are indeed extraordinary.
After dinner, Huang Zhongjun invited Lin Weidong and Ma Xiaoyun to stay at his house.
Without thinking, Lin Weidong politely declined Huang Zhongjun's kindness.
Ma Xiaoyun chose to stay and prepared to have a long talk with Huang Zhongjun all night.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I left Huang Zhong's mansion and parted with Ma Xiaoyun.
On the way back, Lin Weidong immediately called Gao Yuanyuan.
After receiving the call from Lin Weidong, Gao Yuanyuan immediately left home and went to the intersection to take a taxi.
After arriving at home, Gao Yuanyuan smelled the smell of wine on Lin Weidong and frowned: "Who did you go drinking with? It smells so strong?"
Lin Weidong did not hide it and said bluntly: "Follow Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaoyun."
Gao Yuanyuan looked confused when she heard this: "Who is Huang Zhongjun? Who is Ma Xiaoyun?"
Lin Weidong explained with a smile: "Huang Zhongkunjun is the chairman of Huayi Brothers. Have you heard of Huayi Brothers?"
Gao Yuanyuan nodded: "Well, I've heard of it, a film company."
Before Lin Weidong could answer, Gao Yuanyuan then asked: "Weidong, how could you know the big names in the film industry?"
Lin Weidong said disapprovingly: "What kind of big shot is Huang Zhongjun?"
When Gao Yuanyuan heard Lin Weidong's evaluation of the chairman of Huayi Brothers, she seemed to feel condescending disdain, and then smiled and asked back: "Weidong, then who is the big shot?"
Lin Weidong thought about it and said frankly: "Anyway, Huang Zhongjun is definitely not a big shot in my eyes. Compared with Ma Xiaoyun, he is far inferior to him."
After hearing Lin Weidong's words, Gao Yuanyuan was very curious and then asked: "Wei Dong, what is the origin of this Ma Xiaoyun?"
Lin Weidong said seriously: "Alibaba's chairman, have you always heard of Alibaba?"
Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and said innocently: "No..."
In fact, it is not surprising that Gao Yuanyuan doesn’t know Alibaba. After all, Alibaba is not yet famous.
Lin Weidong didn't explain much, but just said to Gao Yuanyuan: "You'll know the name Ma Xiaoyun sooner or later."
Gao Yuanyuan believed what Lin Weidong said. She was just a little curious about why Lin Weidong was so sure that she would know Ma Xiaoyun in the future.
Facing Gao Yuanyuan's questions, Lin Weidong did not vaguely and said frankly: "If I read it right, sooner or later, Ma Xiaoyun will become a household name rich man."
