Li Mingtang stared at Li Jin's leaving figure, feeling a mouthful of blood pooling in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
One second he was so proud of having Shu Qi as his female companion, but the next second, Huo Anlan appeared next to Li Jin!
Shu Qi is beautiful and famous enough.
Frankly speaking, with Shu Qi, no matter what kind of banquet it is, you will definitely not lose face.
It is also consistent with his identity as Li Mingtang.
But for this kind of thing, I'm afraid of comparison.
Whether a man is successful or not depends on the woman around him.
Shu Qi is good, but can she compare with Huo Anlan?
It's literally a thousand miles away.
Li Mingtang felt that his face was burning, and he also looked at Shu Qi next to him with an unpleasant look.
"Master Li... you..."
Shu Qi was flustered by Li Mingtang's vicious eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Mingtang shout: "Get out!"
Shu Qi looked at Li Mingtang in disbelief.
"I told you to get out!"
After Li Mingtang said coldly, he turned around and left, leaving Shu Qi standing there with a humiliated face and tears in her eyes, at a loss.
…
Li Jin and Huo Anlan walked into the more private small banquet hall inside.
Most of the places outside are places where the younger generation communicates with each other, but the small banquet hall inside is the real Vanity Fair, where bigwigs gather.
Most of the top wealthy people in the entire port city were present.
This kind of famous scene cannot be seen all the time.
Li Jin walked in and saw Huo Zhenzhou walking over with a smile on his face.
"Ajin, come on, I'll take you to meet some old friends."
Huo Zhenzhou grabbed Li Jin's arm very affectionately, laughed and led him forward.
This is a gesture that Huo Zhenzhou made deliberately for others to see.
I just want to tell all the big guys present that this young man is approved by Huo Zhenzhou, and everyone must give him some face.
Huo Zhenzhou's status and energy qualify him for this.
Sure enough, all the big guys in the room looked at Li Jin differently.
The big guys who can be here are not simple characters. They have much better information than the outside world. Li Jin's identity is no longer a secret.
Not far away, Liu Daxiong asked Guan Zhiling next to him to chat with another woman. After dismissing her, Liu Daxiong turned around and asked the middle-aged man next to him who looked somewhat similar to Li Mingtang.
"Yao Kang, what is the relationship between this Li Jin and the Huo family?"
Li Yaokang said calmly: "Da Liu, if you ask me, don't focus on these female celebrities every day, and pay more attention to other things."
"Li Jin, Huo Zhenzhou met in the mainland some time ago. I don't know what happened between the two of them. In short, Huo Zhenzhou is very optimistic about Li Jin. According to the news I got, even the old man of the Huo family is full of praise for him."
Liu Daxiong's expression changed when he heard about the old man of the Huo family, and he said: "This Li Jin is not an easy master to deal with."
Liu Daxiong felt angry when he thought that as a senior, he had stumbled in front of Li Jin.
At this moment, Li Jin, led by Huo Zhenzhou, came to a middle-aged man with round-rimmed glasses and a gentle temperament.
"Ajin, this is Director Lin Minglin of Huanyu International Group."
"A Ming, this is the outstanding young man I told you, Li Jin."
Under Huo Zhenzhou's introduction, Li Jin first stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Lin. I've seen you for a long time."
Lin Ming smiled, shook hands with Li Jin, and said, "Although I have never heard of you before, in the past few days, Zhenzhou has been talking about you."
From the names, Li Jin knew that Huo Zhenzhou and Lin Ming had a good personal relationship.
After chatting and joking for a while, Li Jin said: "Director Lin, Uncle Huo is here, so I will tell you without hesitation that your Huanyu Pictures is going to be packaged and sold, and I am interested in buying it."
Lin Ming glanced at Huo Zhenzhou, then smiled at Li Jin and said: "It is indeed for sale, but the price is frankly not low, and I have no plans to lower the price."
Although Lin Ming has a gentle and elegant temperament, he is also very easy-going in conversation.
But in business, Lin Ming is not an easy boss to talk about in building Huanyu International into such a large group.
"It is an indisputable fact that the film industry in Hong Kong City is in decline. If Director Lam's asking price is too high, it will be difficult to find a sincere buyer like me."
Li Jin was not taken advantage of, so it was impossible for him to take whatever amount Lin Ming said, so his counteroffer was not polite.
Lin Ming said calmly: "But Huanyu Pictures is the best asset in the industry. This is an indisputable fact. If you, Jin, plan to enter the entertainment industry, how much effort will it take to build such a company from scratch?"
"If I didn't recognize Huanyu Pictures as a high-quality asset, I wouldn't be in front of Director Lin today." Li Jin chuckled.
Lin Ming smiled, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Huanyu Pictures is my hard work, and selling it is a helpless move. There is no need to discuss the price."
When Li Jin heard this, he said calmly: "In that case, let's just not talk about it."
After saying that, Li Jin turned around and left.
This crisp and decisive decision made not only Lin Ming stunned, but also Huo Zhenzhou a little surprised.
How can anyone discuss business like this and just turn around and leave as soon as they disagree.
This tough stance made it seem as if it was not Li Jin who wanted to buy Huanyu Pictures, but Lin Ming who was begging him.
"Ajin, wait."
Huo Zhenzhou didn't interrupt from beginning to end. He was just an intermediary in this transaction, responsible for smoothing things over. Seeing that the negotiation was about to collapse, he called out to Li Jin.
A waiter happened to pass by with a tray. Huo Zhenzhou took three glasses of red wine and gave them to Li Jin and Lin Ming. He took a sip himself and then said with a smile: "In business, naturally everyone takes a step back. A Ming, you are
Senior, please give me an attitude first."
Lin Ming frowned and said: "I don't actually have to sell cash, other equity and the like are also fine."
"What if it's news that can prevent Huanyi International from losing 40% of its market value?" Li Jin suddenly asked.
Lin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, he stared at Li Jin solemnly and said, "Young student, do you know what you are talking about?"
Huo Zhenzhou's expression was also somewhat serious.
In the business world, Li Jin's words were not just rude, but directly offensive.
In later generations, Huanyi International, which shifted its focus to the capital and finance industry, happened to encounter the bursting of the Internet bubble, and it suffered heavy losses at the end of 2000.
Li Jin recalled everything about Huanyu International in his memory, and said calmly: "The bursting of the Internet economic bubble has already begun in the West. It could be as fast as a week or as slow as half a month. Something will happen to Huanyu International.
Most of today’s investments are in Internet companies, right?”
Lin Ming was shocked.
"Do you dare to take responsibility for what you say?" Lin Ming said sternly.
Li Jin glanced at Huo Zhenzhou and said calmly: "If Director Lin doesn't believe it, I can bet 1 billion against you."
Lin Ming suddenly laughed and said: "No need to bet, I can sell Huanyi International to you for 1.5 billion, but you have to agree to one condition."
