Chapter 105: Suffocated by Dreams After seeing Du Liang off, Xu Kun waited for another ten days. Chen Xuebin always said "we are discussing" and "there is a chance", but Xu Kun couldn't just keep going like this. Otherwise, when director Liu Heng had time and found a suitable crew for him, would he go or not? Until noon on October 23rd. Chen Xuebin suddenly called and excitedly said that he would take him to meet the big money sponsor. Xu Kun packed up briefly and then got into Chen Xuebin's Bora. As soon as he sat firmly in the passenger seat, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Chen, where did the big money sponsor you mentioned come from?" "Here~" Chen Xuebin handed Xu Kun a gold-stamped business card. Xu Kun took a closer look and saw that it said: Chairman of Xibel Communications Technology Co., Ltd., Jia Yueting.
hiss~~~ Xu Kun took a deep breath and almost suffocated for his dream. Even though he was in jail, he was still well aware of Jia Yueting's name "returning to China next week". This is a guy who owes tens of billions of dollars in bad debts, but can still live happily in the United States! After being confused for a while, Xu Kun finally came to his senses and asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, didn't you say you wanted to contact the coal boss? What the hell is this communications technology company?" Chen Xuebin explained excitedly: "Boss Jia used to sell coal mining equipment in Shanxi. He has quite a few connections in the industry and knows many big bosses in coal mining. He just moved his company to Beijing this year. I don't know how he heard about us, so he took the initiative to come over and said he was very interested in investing in the film and television industry. He also said he wanted to talk to you in person!" Xu Kun thought about it and realized that Jia Yueting seemed to have started his career by setting up a video website, so it was no surprise that he was interested in the film and television industry. This made him quite excited. Although Jia Yueting failed miserably in the end and incurred billions of debts, before he completely failed, Boss Jia was also a prominent figure in the capital circle. Getting in touch with him will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages in at least the next ten years. With such thoughts in mind, Xu Kun couldn't help but get excited. After getting off the car, he tidied up his appearance and then followed Chen Xuebin into the teahouse. In the past, people would discuss things in restaurants, but recently it seems that they choose teahouses more and more. Another change is that the word "teacher" has begun to be abused in the circle. Even Xu Kun was called teacher when he went to perform. "Director Chen." As soon as I entered the gate, Jia Yueting came to greet me personally. The man who returned next week was younger than Xu Kun had imagined, looking like he was not even 30 years old, but he exuded confidence and his every move seemed to attract everyone's attention. After greeting Chen Xuebin, he excitedly extended his hand to Xu Kun: "Mr. Xu, I watched your performances in Blind Well, Conquer, and Young Emperor overnight these past few days. Each one is a classic!" "Don't dare to take it seriously." Xu Kun modestly said: "In fact, I have also filmed a lot of bad anti-Japanese films, and I have earned the reputation of "Killing Machine Xu Sang" in the circle." "Hahaha~" Jia Yueting laughed loudly, and took Xu Kun's hand and said, "You are a straightforward person, and I don't like to hide anything. Come on, let's sit down and speak frankly!" This is what Jia Yueting said, and he did so after he sat down.
He stated directly that as long as Xu Kun could come up with a high-quality script and find a few famous actors to participate, he would take the lead in investing 10 million yuan in this fictitious TV series. This number shocked Chen Xuebin and Xu Kun. Especially Chen Xuebin, he originally thought that Jia Yueting could invest two or three million, but who knew that he would ask for ten million. Xu Kun’s estimate was a bit higher, but it was capped at 5 million - is he already so wealthy now that he’s returning to China next week? But Jia Yueting continued, "I invested in this drama because I am optimistic about your career, brother Xu. Secondly, of course, I have some requirements. First, you must attract no less than one million investment from your hometown, and it must be officially launched. Secondly, this drama must strive to be premiered on Beijing Satellite TV. If that is not possible, strive to premiere on Beijing local TV stations. And when contacting Beijing and Taiwan, I will participate in the whole process." As soon as these three 'musts' and two 'strives' were uttered, Xu Kun understood what Jia Yueting was planning. He clearly hoped to use this drama as a springboard to establish a relationship with Beijing TV Station. Moreover, he was afraid that Xu Kun was not important enough, so he also wanted to tie up Xu Kun's hometown county as well. For the food delivery, Beijing TV owed a favor to Liu Heng, Xu Kun, and RY County. Among them, Liu Heng has already obtained the rewards he wanted, and the county has also received certain feedback. Xu Kun received the least reward, after all, he was only a supporting role in "The Young Emperor". What Jia Yueting wants to do now is to spend money and turn the remaining favors into his own use - and with his connections in Shanxi, the money may not necessarily come from his own hands. Xu Kun sorted out his thoughts and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Jia, you've invested so much money to get in touch with Beijing TV, what's your goal?" "Is this..." Jia Yueting smiled slightly and kept it a secret: "The hermit has his own clever plan, but I'm afraid it won't work if I tell it to you." Xu Kun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said nonchalantly, "You're not planning to make arrangements in advance and cooperate with Beijing TV Station to set up a video website, are you?" Dang rang~ Jia Yueting dropped the cup he had just picked up onto the table. He let the tea drip onto his legs and said in astonishment, "How did you know?!" He wanted to set up a video website, an idea that only came to him recently after he came to Beijing. For this purpose, he made a special investigation and found that there were no specialized video websites not only in China but also abroad - except for those that were for pornographic content. Because there was no precedent, Jia Yueting hesitated for a while whether to set this precedent. As a result, he happened to find out about Xu Kun and what he did during the epidemic, so he decided to take a gamble. Who would have thought that as soon as they met, the secret hidden in his heart was revealed by Xu Kun! "I just guessed." Xu Kun shrugged, as if it was a matter of course. Chen Xuebin praised at the right time: "The idea of sending charity vegetables to Beijing was first proposed by our Kun'er. Before other places could react, the vegetables from their county had already been sent to the TV station!" Jia Yueting calmed himself by wiping his pants, then said with a carefree smile: "Brother Xu is indeed not an ordinary person. I underestimated you. If not for anything else, just for you, I will invest this 10 million. If necessary, I can make additional investments!" Although he spoke with great ambition, he did not say that he would withdraw those two conditions. Obviously, compared with Xu Kun as a person, he still values the official background and rich film and television resources represented by Beijing and Taiwan more. Xu Kun didn't care about this. Anyway, he would only be responsible for matchmaking. Whether he could truly establish a cooperative relationship with Beijing and Taiwan would depend on Jia Yueting's own methods. As for the county... The "safe vegetables" he pioneered are a great political achievement. The main leaders of the county have been praised for it, and I heard that it will soon be taken to a higher level.
At this time, he should not refuse Xu Kun's request. At worst, Xu Kun could sign a betting agreement. If the TV series lost money, he would return the one million in full within five years. Thinking of this, Xu Kun stood up and raised his hand to Jia Yueting: "Boss Jia, is this a deal?" "That's a deal!" Jia Yueting was overjoyed and immediately raised his hand to greet him.
