Are you talking about Xu Shao?
After getting back into the car, Xu Ning tentatively spoke.
“Are you a movie producer?”
“I’m quite interested in the Entertainment industry.”
“Why don’t you tell me about your film project?”
The car owner probably didn’t expect Xu Ning to ask, and shook his head vigorously, his eyes, hazy with drunkenness, looking towards Xu Ning.
Huh?
Well, this young chauffeur is really handsome.
Even in the Entertainment industry, which is full of handsome men, he could still make it.
Perhaps if he signed with an agency and was packaged, he could debut.
Even though the era of traffic stars has passed, it’s still easy to make a living in the Entertainment industry.
However, for filmmakers, these young idols are like a cancer to cinema.
Movies need actors, truly good actors.
“My friend and I have been toiling in the film industry.”
“I started as a production assistant, and now I’m mostly fixed in an assistant producer position, so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to independently manage a film.”
“My brother also has experience as an assistant director on several films.”
“This time, he put together a script, and I think it has the potential to be a box office hit.”
“The two of us just want to make this movie, and we’ll manage it ourselves.”
“But as you might have heard, no one is willing to invest.”
“We put all our money in, and even mortgaged our house, only raising twenty million.”
“Some fools spend hundreds of millions on bad films, but no one will invest in our small project of a few tens of millions!”
“Sigh, what a messed up Entertainment industry!”
By the end, his tone was incredibly indignant, and he couldn’t help but curse.
Xu Ning received more information and fell into thought.
Low budget?
Meaning a few tens of millions would be enough!
And the car owner and his friend also raised twenty million.
That is to say, if he invested, even if he lost everything, it would only be a matter of a few tens of millions.
For him, who was making crazy money every day as a chauffeur, it would probably be the equivalent of two days’ earnings… Although he didn't know exactly what kind of producer this person was, he could feel from his words that he genuinely wanted to make good movies.
He was just a chauffeur; why would he pretend in front of him!
Having made up his mind, Xu Ning slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
The car owner asked in surprise, “We’re not there yet, why did you stop the car?”
Xu Ning turned around, looked at the car owner, and smiled, “How about I invest in your movie?”
Looking at Xu Ning, who was smiling and didn’t seem very serious, the car owner thought he was joking and making fun of him.
“You’re not going to say that you want your chauffeur fee to count as an investment, are you?”
“Hurry up and drive, I don’t have time to joke with you!”
The car owner leaned back against the seat and said grumpily.
“I’m not joking with you!” Xu Ning shrugged, slightly rolled up his sleeve, revealing the Richard Mille RM56.
The car owner's vision was a little blurry, but he could immediately recognize that the watch worn by the young chauffeur in front of him was a Richard Mille.
He sat up abruptly, leaned forward, and examined the wristwatch.
At first, he thought it was a fake watch.
But the more he looked, the more something felt off.
How could it look so real?
Although he wasn't an expert in watches, it didn't prevent him from being knowledgeable, and because he had a friend who sold Richard Mille, he knew a bit more about Richard Mille.
“Where did you buy this watch?”
“Not bad, it’s really well made!”
“But as far as I know, this RM56 is a global limited edition; it’s not that easy to get.”
“Young man, listen to me, even if you wear a fake watch, don’t wear one that’s so obvious!”
“Although I don’t mean to look down on chauffeurs, if someone sees a chauffeur wearing this watch, they’ll definitely assume it’s fake without even thinking.”
Even if it looked real, as he said, the identity of a chauffeur meant it was impossible to wear such a limited edition, top-luxury watch.
Therefore, it could only be fake.
Xu Ning was already used to such suspicion, so he just smiled calmly and said, “I bought it at the Richard Mille flagship store in Yintai Center.”
His words, however, made the car owner burst into laughter.
“I’ll give you a chance, pick another store!”
“I have a friend who works at Richard Mille in Yintai Center.”
He had hit the bullseye, and he didn’t believe Xu Ning wouldn’t be embarrassed.
But Xu Ning just smiled softly and shrugged, looking indifferent.
The car owner couldn’t help but get a little angry.
Why are you so unappreciative? I’ve already given you an out; just take it, why do you have to stubbornly refuse?
Normally, he would never bother with such things with a chauffeur; he would just laugh it off.
But now, clearly a bit tipsy from the alcohol, he directly pulled out his phone and called his friend.
“Old Hao, I met someone who’s wearing an RM56 from your Richard Mille, the limited edition sapphire crystal one.”
“He insists he bought it from your store, don’t you think that’s interesting?”
By a strange coincidence, his friend was Manager Hao of the Richard Mille flagship store in Yintai Center.
Manager Hao, hearing RM56, knew without thinking that it must be Xu Ning, and quickly said.
“Old Chen, you wouldn’t be talking about Young Master Xu, would you?”
“The RM56 sapphire is indeed a limited edition, and only one was sold from our store, and that was to Young Master Xu.”
“You’re quite something, you’ve actually managed to get acquainted with Young Master Xu!”
“Aren’t you trying to raise investment for your movie?”
“As long as you can convince Young Master Xu, that little investment is nothing.”
The car owner was stunned, his heart churning like a stormy sea.
“Your surname is Xu?” he asked somewhat incredulously.
Xu Ning nodded, took the phone directly from his hand, and greeted the person on the other end.
“Manager Hao?”
“This is Xu Ning!”
Manager Hao was a little surprised; his friend had indeed gotten acquainted with Young Master Xu.
“Hello, Young Master Xu!”
“I didn’t expect such a coincidence, that you also know Old Chen.”
“It’s truly a small world.”
Xu Ning exchanged a few pleasantries with Manager Hao, then suddenly remembered something.
“Manager Hao, please order three RM35s for me!”
“Can they be delivered within a month?”
He wanted to give the RM35s as graduation gifts to his three brothers.
If they couldn’t be delivered within a month, it would be too late.
Manager Hao’s heart swelled with joy; indeed, getting acquainted with a young master was great; million-dollar watches were ordered as easily as toys.
And ordering three identical watches, he must be planning to give them as gifts.
Connecting it to graduation season, they should be for classmates.
I want classmates like that too!
“No problem, Young Master Xu, I guarantee delivery within a month!”
Xu Ning nodded, “I’ll make time to come over and pay in the next couple of days, and I’ll leave the rest to you.”
After saying that, he returned the phone to the car owner, who was completely stunned and almost unable to think.
He gave him a moment to process the shock, then smiled and said, “Shall we talk about investing in the movie?”
“Bang!” A dull thud.
The car owner, in his excitement, tried to stand up, but his head directly hit the car roof.
