Chapter 361: Five Hundred Million! Five Hundred Million!

Zheng Qian was stunned upon hearing this.

This... was an agreement? Just like that?

Actually, he didn't have much confidence in this film either. After all, the domestic market was currently flooded with garbage films. He just purely hoped to boost Yin Yanyan's fame, nothing more. But for Huo Muyan, it might be different.

She was already a famous designer and should cherish her reputation.

"You... are sure? You won't go back on your word?" Zheng Qian looked at Huo Muyan hesitantly.

"I'm sure." Huo Muyan's heart pounded.

Just kidding!

This was five hundred million! Five hundred million! If anyone else offered this price, she would think that person was crazy. But Zheng Qian was different. He had previously given two hundred million just for that paint design.

He was definitely capable of coming up with this money. Why should she hesitate to take advantage of such a great opportunity to fleece a rich tycoon?

"That makes things easier."

Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This film is an arthouse movie, and it can be considered Yin Yanyan's debut work. Originally, the art department for this film was supposed to be a foreign team, but I felt it wasn't very grounded. For things like this, it's better for our own people to do it. So it's settled. You can go to Subei to take over after a while."

Actually, the biggest investor in this film was Yin Yanyan's foundation.

Which was equivalent to Zheng Qian footing the bill.

If he spent ten billion and still couldn't make a female star famous, then even if she were ugly, she would probably still become famous across Asia. Not to mention that Yin Yanyan was extremely beautiful and already starting to gain good popularity.

Although he had already used this move to earn one hundred billion through the system, theoretically, he had already made enough.

But since the money was already spent, it would be excellent if he could achieve some development in the entertainment industry.

"An arthouse film? In Subei? And the lead actress is Yin Yanyan?"

Huo Muyan's eyes flickered slightly.

She couldn't wait to go over there sooner. Just hearing a rough outline of the plot, she vaguely felt that this film definitely wouldn't be bad. After all, with Zheng Qian as the god of wealth, everything was configured to the best standard.

The script was also written by a famous screenwriter and felt very good.

Perhaps through this cooperation, their company would also gain a lot. This was a win-win situation.

"That's right. Although Yin Yanyan's fame isn't high right now, believe me, it's only a matter of time before she blows up. The company has allocated a lot of resources this time. It's very likely she will grow into the next generation of Asian superstars, and she might even win an Oscar."

Zheng Qian started spouting nonsense.

Anyway, as long as he could get Huo Muyan to join, he didn't care if he had to brag for three days and three nights.

The immediate priority was to actively expand the company's business lines. Since he had the money, his main strategy was to blossom everywhere. Most importantly, he needed to truly form a giant conglomerate, not just an empty shell.

The former Qianhe Group sounded nice, with a market value of over a billion.

But honestly, it was too focused on the shipping business.

Now that the young master of the Shanghai Americas Club didn't know what his intentions were, he couldn't afford to be cut off.

Moreover, Zheng Qian also had a dream of a business empire in his heart. To reach the top in various fields and possess significant influence. If it were just a single business line, it would be impossible to go head-to-head with the big bosses of the three top clubs.

He wanted to prove himself in Shanghu.

At least possess the strength to shake the top clubs.

"I know Yin Yanyan. She released a single before, and it was very good. I just don't know why she was suddenly shelved by her company. I didn't expect you to be involved in the entertainment industry and even sign Yin Yanyan. You have a great eye!"

Huo Muyan looked at Zheng Qian with renewed respect.

Originally, she thought he was just a tycoon without taste, but she didn't expect him to be so ambitious. And hearing from Lu Shanshan that he had also obtained a brewery license, diversifying his business, Qianhe Group was truly starting to take shape.

The two discussed some details, and Huo Muyan was already impatient to set off for Subei.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll prepare and try to get to Subei as soon as possible." Huo Muyan said as she stood up to leave.

"Ah... President Zheng... where are you..."

Just then, the room door opened, and a disheveled Yao Qiuqiu walked out, still sleepy.

From Zheng Qian's angle, it looked like she was "missing her pants." She was only wearing his shirt on top, while the bottom was empty. Her legs were incredibly slender, but she seemed a bit weak, swaying as she walked.

Clearly, she had just woken up.

"Ah—!"

Just as she locked eyes with Huo Muyan, the two stared at each other for a long time, then suddenly screamed in unison. Huo Muyan quickly covered her eyes, and Yao Qiuqiu scurried back into the room.

Only Zheng Qian, the person involved, stood awkwardly in place, lit a cigarette, and fell into a daze.

"I'm leaving! You... you should just chat about work with your colleague!"

Huo Muyan's face flushed red. She glared fiercely at Zheng Qian and ran out in a panic.

Zheng Qian couldn't be bothered to explain and just smiled bitterly to himself.

Actually, he really didn't want Huo Muyan to come over at first, but time was tight, and he couldn't leave the two girls here alone, making it look like he was a heartless jerk.

"I'm sorry... President Zheng... did we delay your business..."

Yao Qiuqiu heard Huo Muyan leave.

She quietly opened the door, poked her little head out, and looked at Zheng Qian innocently.

"It's fine. Since it's still early, we can do some morning exercises again..."

"Ah... Xiao Nan... come help me quickly, President Zheng he..."

...

Three hours later.

Yao Qiuqiu and Xiao Nan left the hotel and headed to the pier.

However, this time Xiao Nan couldn't drive, so Zheng Qian temporarily called a company driver to help. He returned to the office, flipping through the materials collected by Zhong Xiaoyao and the others, lost in thought.

These data reports were very complex, but fortunately, under Xia Xixi's arrangement, patterns had already been summarized.

And a conclusion had been reached.

She was standing in front of Zheng Qian at this moment. Initially, when she discovered the hidden capital flow, she couldn't even believe it herself. She even invited many cybersecurity experts to use various methods before finally tracing this line.

"Perhaps... we were all fooled by a series of acquisitions by shipping giants..."

Zheng Qian pinched his tired eyebrows and muttered to himself, "The flow of these funds didn't come much from Shanghu. If it were really the young master of the Shanghai Americas Club, it's impossible he would leave Asia Shipping alone and not even take the initiative to contact me. Conversely, looking at the movement of those funds, basically... they all came from Qijinyi... It was hidden so deeply..."

Xia Xixi nodded.

She couldn't help but say, "It is very likely that the person who actually made the move is not the young master of the Shanghai Americas Club, but that person is using this name to deter others so that the acquisition process goes smoothly. The real person is..."

"Xingtu Group." Zheng Qian concluded.
