Chapter 25 [Great detour]

The day after the premiere, the reviews of film critics from major newspapers were fair, and they all pointed out that this was an action commercial blockbuster with excellent production. Most of the previous doubts became recognition.

Although, there is no high praise here. After all, this movie has little connotation. But if you treat it as a standard Hollywood action commercial blockbuster, it is definitely excellent.

The first week of box office, which everyone expected, the movie successfully topped the top. After winning the two-week championship on the North American box office rankings, the total box office in North America alone has exceeded 140 million US dollars. The third week after that began to decline... but the decline was not too fast.

After making an estimate, the box office of this movie in North America can reach about 240 million, while the final global box office is expected to reach more than 400 million. What surprised me was that according to the survey, it was expected that the box office of Japan alone would reach 100 million US dollars... This data surprised me quite. However, the company's experts later told me that the Japanese film market has always been an important overseas territory of Hollywood.

In addition to the profits of the film's peripheral products, the rights to broadcast the TV show with American TV stations, and the release of final DVDs and other audio-visual products... The final pure profit of this film can reach about 200 million.

Does everyone say that movies can make money?

By the way... I don't need to share these 200 million yuan with the Rothschild family. According to the supplementary terms of our cooperation, this movie was an investment before the company's cooperation and was completely independent investment, so the final profits can be shared with the Rothschild family. Martin doesn't care about this, he doesn't care about this little money, but he values ​​long-term profits in the future. The huge profits of this movie also gave him enough confidence.

I stayed in Hollywood for more than a month.

In the past month, Aze was the happiest person. This pervert followed me, dressed in a well-decorated and playboy from a family. He attended various Hollywood parties with me, flirted with many female celebrities... He really succeeded several times, and he was once a day!!

The result of this incident was that he finally made a decision: "I have decided! I want to buy a house in Bihuali Villa! I can come on vacation every year from now on!"

Although I deal with many celebrities every day, chatting and laughing, and showing the appearance of an emerging Hollywood force, I feel a hint of gloom in my heart.

Because, at the moment of celebrating the company's first movie, Yang Wei, the biggest contributor to create this situation, did not appear!

In fact, since I returned to Vancouver to get married, Yang Wei has not contacted me. I originally thought that she would come to Hollywood for the premiere of the movie, but she did not appear. Mr. Yang Er of the Yang family sent someone to represent him, but Yang Wei did not come.

In the end, I couldn't bear it. I called, but couldn't find Yang Wei! I originally had a mobile phone number in my hand that I could find her at any time. But that number was turned off. I realized that she didn't seem to want someone to find her.

I called the Yang family, but Mr. Yang Er just told me simply that in order to handle some family business, Yang Wei went to China and then stayed in Asia for a while.

"Go to China?" I couldn't help but sigh.

Is she trying to avoid me?

With this regret, I was not happy in Hollywood. Two months later, I left here and returned to Vancouver. Of course, I didn’t come back empty-handed.

The film company's profitability is enough to make everyone around me wake up laughing.

I couldn't even help but think, when Old Solin threw this film company to me like garbage, how would he feel if he saw the company's profit account in my hand? Hey!

And on the second day after I returned to Vancouver, Wu Gang, who had been missing for two months, finally visited him again!!

This time, in addition to his three subordinates last time, there was another middle-aged man. This is a man who looks very dark and thin. His face is very ordinary. But the calmness in his eyes was revealed at a glance. This kind of person is definitely the kind of person who is persevering!

I can see that Wu Gang is very polite to this person, and when introducing him, he first introduced me to the middle-aged man: "This is Mr. Chen Yang, the boss of Huaxing Company, and a powerful figure here in Vancouver."

When introducing the middle-aged man, he just said vaguely: "This is Comrade Ren."

The title of comrade has already represented a different meaning.

That day, I invited the two of them into my office, and we talked for an afternoon before finally seeing them off. As for the content of the conversation, I didn't say anything to anyone under my command.

The next day, I went to Huaxing Company and then held a management meeting of the company. At the meeting, I announced two decisions.

The first decision was that I decided to inject 20 million US dollars into the company. This news made Sun Wendi and others very happy, but my second decision immediately surprised Sun Wendi. If I hadn't stopped it with my eyes, I would have decided that the number one general of the company would have had a dispute with me on the spot!

"The second decision... I will draw 20 million funds from the company, and then I decided to start the overseas development of the company and start setting up branches overseas. I plan to set up three branches in Europe, Asia, and... Africa at the same time. The Asian branch is set up in Shanghai, China, and the European branch is set up in Genoa, Italy... Africa..."

"Africa?" Sun Wendi heard me speak and suddenly screamed.

My face remained unchanged: "African branch, I will take people to several African countries to inspect and make sure it is finally done." I glanced at Sun Wendi and signaled him not to speak.

After the meeting, in my office, Sun Wendi began to complain to me: "Boss! We are already planning this! And these are all in our planning. It is not surprising that Asian branches and European branches... But, Africa?? From this stage, I don't think it's any point to establish a branch in Africa!! The investment environment of African countries is not good, and... the situation there is complicated. Although the environment in North Africa is slightly better, they are only separated from Europe by the Mediterranean, and the local markets are occupied by Europeans! I don't think we will have any development in Africa... The company's future is in Asia. I think we have been sure of this long ago!"

He waved his arms and complained loudly at me. I just sat in my seat and looked at him quietly.

"I have my considerations." I said lightly: "I personally take charge of all the affairs in Africa, and I don't need the people from the head office to intervene... Well, and I can tell you that the African branch, I don't plan to do trade business, I am going to invest there."

"Investment..." Sun Wendi almost moaned: "Invest in Africa? What to do? Mining? Impossible. The minerals in Africa are controlled by armed forces of all sizes, or they are manipulation agents of major European and American powers. We are not qualified enough... Ordinary business? Hell, what business is there in Africa? Do you want to poach wild animals?"

I sighed, then raised my eyelids and looked at Sun Wendi: "I know you are considering the company. But I can tell you that this is not just a simple business. You have been in my company for so long. What is my identity and background, you won't not know?"

Sun Wendi is speechless.

"I can't tell you too much, but I just hope you understand that I'm going to Africa to do things. There are other considerations. These have nothing to do with the legal business the company currently operates. You don't need to know too much about the others. I take away the funds and will not let the company bear it. I will inject funds into the company privately and then transfer the part of the investment site. It's that simple."

Sun Wendi left my office silently, and I could see that he was forced to accept it.

I sat in the office. Then I took the Wanbaolong golden pen in my hand and drew three big circles on the paper. Three words were written in the three circles:

Vancouver, China, Africa...

I talked about several arrows on several circles again, and made the order of circles on the paper become: Vancouver - Africa - China...

"Oh!" I sighed, and I tore the paper apart and threw it into the shredder, then smiled bitterly: "Big detour, big detour... The road back to China is indeed uneven."

I applied for a visa, and there were various procedures, and finally passed a series of preparations. I carefully selected a group of people. In addition to Hammer, who has always been a personal bodyguard with me, I also selected ten smart and capable elite soldiers and generals in the circle. In the end, I thought about it over and over again, and did not take Siro, and continued to keep him at home to manage the smuggling business at the dock.

And just before departure, there was finally someone in my team who was forced into it!

Jojo!

When I knew that I was going to Africa, Qiao Qiao almost made an extremely tough request to go with me. I refused a few times and then failed, but in the end she convinced me with a reason.

"In Africa, it is not enough to just speak English! Many African countries' official languages ​​are French! Do you speak French?" Jojo looked at me with his waist.

"You can?" I glanced at her.

"%￥#￥…※%" Qiao Qiao quickly said a series of strange sentences to me, looking disdainful.

"……What's the meaning?"

"In French, it means, you abominable stallion!"

Originally I had to refuse, but later even Yan Di said that she wanted me to take Qiao Qiao to Africa. This action surprised me! But later I realized that Yan Di always felt sorry for Qiao Qiao because I married her, as if she had robbed her position as my wife. And she had already agreed to the entanglement between me and Qiao Qiao, so she allowed or even encouraged me to take Qiao Qiao away, which was a kind of compensation.

After several times, I finally agreed to Qiao Qiao, but made a deadly rule: "After going out, don't do anything wrong! Listen to me in everything! Don't disobey!" Looking at the female bandit, I gritted my teeth: "If you dare to disobey, I will throw you off the plane!"
