Chapter 337 Why do you lie to little girls all day long?
Parallel Chongcai has a brother company called "Dual Shadow".
It can also be seen from the name that they must have chosen it after discussing it. There are two companies, one makes games and the other does animation and special effects.
When it was first established, both parties felt they had a bright future. Because the future of animation and games is likely to be bright.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion.
But the problem is, it's really not certain whether that bright future can fall on them.
Back then, there was a future for those who were doing group buying. A lot of people got together to do it, and a thousand-group war broke out. As a result, a few people survived.
The parallel lottery is okay, but the funds currently do not meet all the budget requirements.
As the development progresses and more materials become available, there will still be opportunities for investment in the future.
It would be miserable to have a binary phantom. I don’t know if God is playing a trick on me or if it’s just bad luck. Investors have encountered various problems one after another. Inexplicably, the countdown to bankruptcy began.
No one wants to go bankrupt.
No one wants to start a business but fail halfway through.
So, at Lin Zhenyu's suggestion, they bit the bullet and approached Xu Xiyu.
Moreover, it was Lu Jiu who contacted him.
To be honest, Lu Jiu really didn't want to do this.
She didn't even think of asking Xu Xiyu whether he planned to invest in Parallel Chongcai, let alone asking about the investment for Erduanying?
But when people live in this world, sometimes they just can't help themselves.
At this time, Liu Jiming, the founder of Dual Shadow, was introducing their company and work cases to Xu Xiyu. Listening together with Xu Xiyu, there were also several senior Huaqing executives who were called over by him.
Liu Jiming spoke seriously, and Xu Xiyu and several senior officials also listened seriously.
The only absent-minded person in the audience was probably Lu Jiu sitting in the corner.
We met three times after the reunion, and both meetings were about investment.
In other words, the two meetings were all about money, which made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
Xu Xiyu didn't notice what Lu Jiu was thinking. Because he was really looking at Dual Shadow's information seriously.
As early as the road show of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", he told Gong Lingyun that he would develop special effects and animation technology in Little Moss.
Because he can't just make low-budget comedies and feature films forever.
Now that he has money and a team, he naturally wants to make works with high technical content.
Although blockbusters may not be as profitable as low-cost comedies, the other benefits they bring are far beyond what low-cost comedies can match.
Originally, Xu Xiyu and Gong Lingyun were still investigating suitable companies. Who would have thought that someone would actually come to your doorstep.
The capabilities of his team seem to be pretty good at the moment, which is exactly what Xu Xiyu wants.
It is different from the many domestically produced animated films on earth that have produced many good works.
On Blue Star's side, domestic animated films, except for sub-supply works like "Bear Bears", can be said to be a desert for domestic animated films targeting the entire group.
It’s not because everyone thinks animated movies can’t make money. After all, Blue Star’s Disney animation has a very high box office, which shows that the audience has this demand.
The reason why it cannot be produced is because compared to the production difficulty, investment cycle, investment risks and other factors of animated films, it is obviously much more cost-effective to remake, plagiarize, and combine several jokes to make a comedy.
Not wanting to make progress and taking shortcuts, but wanting to make quick money is the real character of the management.
But Xu Xiyu is different. He has a lot of classic animated movies in his mind. It would be a waste not to get Blue Star.
Moreover, when communicating with Hu Ningtian before, Hu Ningtian also hoped that he could consider the "international audience".
I would like to ask, is there any literary and artistic form that is easier to achieve this goal than animated films?
For example, the two animated films that Xu Xiyu remembers the most are called "Wall-E" and the other is "Coco."
The emotions conveyed by these two movies are understood by people all over the world.
It can be said that there is no threshold.
Based on the above ideas, Xu Xiyu had a very serious and in-depth chat with the founders who came over from Dual Shadow.
If appropriate, he planned to directly acquire Dual Shadow together with Little Moss.
Then he directly started to test the waters by launching the "Wall-E" project. As for "Coco", he had to think about whether to change the background.
The original is Mexican Day of the Dead.
Let’s see if it’s feasible to change it to the domestic Hungry Ghost Festival or Qingming Festival.
Time passed slowly during the discussion between the two parties. Three hours later, Liu Jiming and the Dual Shadow people were preparing to leave, and Lu Jiu naturally followed them out.
But when she reached the door, she still gritted her teeth and whispered to Liu Jiming and others: "You guys should go back first. I have something to talk to Mr. Xu about."
After saying this, she turned around and returned to the office.
At this time, Xu Xiyu had just walked behind his desk and had not yet sat down. When he saw Lu Jiu leaving and returning, he blinked and guessed: "Are you going to ask about the parallel lottery?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu felt inexplicably that a knife had been stabbed in his heart.
Just as he was about to shake his head and deny it, Xu Xiyu said again: "Mr. Hu is planning to invest, and I am also planning to invest. In the next two days, a team should come over to contact you to discuss specific matters. You don't have to worry."
After saying that, Xu Xiyu smiled happily. He felt that he had told Lu Jiu good news.
But it was this smile that made Lu Jiu feel even more unhappy. She hoped that the relationship between herself and Xu Xiyu could be more pure.
Just like when I was in college, I didn't care how poor he was or whether he was talented. I just find it interesting and happy to be with him.
But now, the gap and gap between the two is getting wider and wider.
With all kinds of thoughts sweeping through him, Lu Jiu smiled and said, "That's great, I'll go back and tell them the good news."
After saying that, she felt that this was not enough, so she glanced to the side and said with an increasingly forced smile: "It seems that the people in our company will have a good year this year."
"Then I'll try my best to get them to settle the matter before the end of the year." Xu Xiyu added after hearing this.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu's eyes suddenly looked at him, and then she quickly looked back. At the same time, she raised her hand slightly to indicate what she wanted to say.
But a while passed, but no words came out.
Seeing this, Xu Xiyu scratched his chin and said doubtfully: "No, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I..." Lu Jiu opened his mouth and spoke. She wanted to explain that she was not here for Xu Xiyu's money and investment, and that she was different from Lan Shuyun.
I just said I had a good year, and I didn't mean to urge Xu Xiyu to negotiate a good investment before the year.
But there were ten thousand words of explanation in my heart, but when I came to my mouth, I found that I had nothing to explain.
Because I explained it, it becomes more like a "green tea that is cheap and sells well".
Thinking of this, Lu Jiu calmed down, put his helpless hands into his trouser pockets, shrugged at Xu Xiyu, pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you, I'll go back first, you can do your work."< br>
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
After taking just two steps, I heard a sentence coming from behind: "Wait a minute."
Lu Jiu stopped when he heard this and turned around in confusion.
Then Xu Xiyu took out something from the desk drawer and threw it towards her while shouting "Go on".
Lu Jiu instinctively reached out to catch it. When she held it in her hand, she saw that it was a small jewelry box. After opening it, there was a pair of earrings inside.
This made her already confused eyes even more confused.
"This thing has been with me for almost five years. I originally wanted to give it to you when you went abroad, but it didn't happen. Today it can be regarded as returning to its original owner."
"Ah?" Lu Jiu was completely stunned.
"It's not an expensive thing. You knew it when I was studying. A poor person can't afford anything expensive. Don't dislike it."
"No, you..." As Lu Jiu spoke, his eyes kept switching back and forth between Xu Xiyu and the earring in his hand.
"I want to tell you that if I have to give you something, this is what I will give you. It will not be an investment in parallel lottery, let alone an investment in binary shadow.
Business is business. If I am willing to invest, I must have my own plan and see the value of investment. You, you never had so many messy thoughts before. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu no longer knew what to say.
She stared blankly at Xu Xiyu, who was leaning against the desk with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his lips, and felt a warm current begin to rise from the soles of his feet.
Just when I was about to say something, I heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door, and Shan Xinbao's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, I'm looking for Mr. Qiao."
This voice brought Lu Jiu back to her senses. She quickly stuffed the box into her pocket, looked at Xu Xiyu, pursed her lips and said, "Then...then I...then I'll leave first, you're busy."< br>
After saying that, like a child who had done something wrong, she quickly walked to the door with her head lowered, opened it, and ran out of the company with her head lowered.
Shan Xinbao and Qiao Shuangshuang instinctively followed her back with their eyes until she disappeared around the corner, and they couldn't help but look at each other again.
From each other's eyes, they can see a look called "gossip".
Xu Xiyu in the office turned his attention to his drawer at this time, and saw two or three boxes in the drawer similar to the ones he had just given to Lu Jiu.
This thing was a gift from a brand when he attended an event last year. After receiving it, he put it in his drawer.
In other words, he just lied to Lu Jiu, and the earrings were not bought five years ago.
To be honest, he didn't want to lie, but in the situation just now, if he didn't lie, the relationship between Lu Jiu and him would only get worse.
He hated this happening.
He still wanted to have the same feeling of getting along with Lu Jiu when he was in college.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu leaned back and rubbed his face.
Damn it, I lied to Hu Ningwei first this morning, then to Lu Jiu, and I lied to the little girl day by day.
Xu Xiyu, Xu Xiyu.
How could you have fallen so far?
Have you forgotten all the work plans you made earlier?
Confucius said: "I examine myself three times a day."
Starting today, work hard and develop your career well!
I can no longer play cards... No, I can no longer lie to little girls all day long!
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Jiu ran downstairs at Huaqing, found a corner where no one was, and stretched out his hands to cool down his hot face.
While cooling down, he repeated in his mind: "Lu Jiu, wake up, wake up, he has a girlfriend, it's impossible for you, his girlfriend is a fairy, wake up!!"
