Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Zhang Yuan's alcohol capacity has never been very good, and he collapsed under the table before the banquet was over.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunling also came over, so Xiao Yunhai asked Li Bing to send the two of them to the villa first, and Xiao Yunling took care of him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yunhai came back.

Seeing Xiao Yunling sitting on the sofa in the hall, watching TV while wiping tears, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Ling'er, why are you still crying?"

Xiao Yunling pointed to the screen on the TV, and said: "The male lead has gone through a lot of hardships, and finally caught up with the female lead, but he doesn't want to get terminally ill. It's really uncomfortable."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you think this kind of TV series is good?"

Xiao Yunling watched the TV without blinking, nodded, and said, "Of course, it's much better than yours."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Now I understand why everyone is making idol dramas. With you idiots around, the ratings really won't be much lower. By the way, did Zhang Yuan tell you that he wants to invite you Go to Hainan for a while?"

Xiao Yunling waved his hands and said impatiently: "Brother, this is the last episode, let's talk about it after watching it."

When Xiao Yunhai heard it, he was speechless for a while, and said: "I'm really insane."

After the TV series finished, Xiao Yunling wiped away tears and asked, "Brother, what are you asking me?"

Xiao Yunhai said angrily: "I ask you if you want to go to Hainan with Zhang Yuan?"

Xiao Yunling said confidently: "Of course we will go. However, we have no money."

Chapter 803 Stealing Sales

Xiao Yunhai took out the bank gold card that Zhao Wanqing helped him from his pocket, threw it to his sister, and said: "It can overdraft up to [-] million yuan, and the password is the last six digits of my phone number. Let me tell you, you can't spend it indiscriminately. "

When Xiao Yunling heard this, he quickly put it away, and said with a grin: "Don't worry, I'll just buy some jewelry at most."

Xiao Yunhai snorted, and said: "I advise you not to buy in Hainan, it is a tourist area and there are all kinds of people there. If you are being watched by someone when you are shopping, you will be in big trouble gone."

Xiao Yunling bit her lip, thought for a while, and said, "You're right. So I decided to ask Zhang Yuan to accompany me to visit Yanjing's jewelry stores tomorrow morning. Brother, don't feel bad."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "As you like, the money you spend will be deducted from Zhang Yuan anyway."

Xiao Yunling said in surprise: "He's just a poor man, where can I get the money for you?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "It won't be soon. You have a good vision. Although this kid is a little dull in life, he is an out-and-out genius. The 3D technology he researched has made a breakthrough. He will apply for a patent. It is estimated that within a year, he will become a billionaire."

"My God, Zhang Yuan will become a billionaire. The world is changing too fast." Xiao Yunling said with an incredulous expression.

"Don't look down on Zhang Yuan. I bet he will become a great person in the future. Well, it's getting late, go and rest."

After Xiao Yunhai finished speaking, he returned to his room, leaving only Xiao Yunling standing there stupidly.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhai took the 3D technology related materials to the Huaxia Patent Office to register, and flew to the United States non-stop in the afternoon.

After handing over the items to the World Patent Association, Xiao Yunhai came to his villa in Los Angeles, ready to deal with the issue of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

Half a month ago, he received a call from a private detective, saying that the four major publishers in Europe had repeated their tricks again, and they were so bold that they blackmailed Harry Potter's tens of millions of sales.

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" officially went on sale on May 3000. As of today, the worldwide sales volume is 800 million copies.Among them, the United States sold 900 million copies, Huaxia's Chinese version sold 650 million copies, the English version sold 600 million copies, and the other [-] million copies were all from the four major European publishing houses.

According to the share in the contract, they can earn at least 2000 million US dollars.Unexpectedly, they were not satisfied, and secretly ordered 1000 million copies. This is a profit of more than 1 million U.S. dollars, which is simply too frenzied.

After Xiao Yunhai heard the news, although he was extremely angry, he didn't explode immediately. He just asked people to secretly collect evidence.

One is that he is really busy and has no time to deal with it, and the other is that he wants to see how greedy the four major publishing houses can be.

After returning to the villa, Xiao Yunhai called the private investigator who had been helping him and asked him to come to Los Angeles with the evidence.

The next day, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat in front of Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Stock, hello. Although we often communicate on the phone, this is the first time we have met in reality."

Stoke said with a smile: "It is a great honor to meet the famous Kung Fu Xiao."

The two were polite, Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Stock, is this job very dangerous?"

Stock sighed, and said, "Of course. Our private detectives usually do shady things. Once caught by the other party, although they won't die, a severe beating is inevitable."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said, "Can I see something?"

"of course."

Stock took out a large stack of photos and materials from his briefcase, pointed to the top photo, and said, "This is a secret printing factory they opened in private. Each of the four major publishing houses has such a factory." , the books they print will not appear on the bill of sale."

Xiao Yunhai frowned, and said, "Then how did they falsify the data reported by the bookstore?"

Stocker said: "It's very simple, isn't it enough to report less? Mr. Xiao, this is their unspoken rule. The publishing house cooperates with the bookstore, and the benefits obtained are divided equally. However, there are very few such bookstores, otherwise, It's easy to leak out. Like they usually cooperate with Lace Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore, they are two large bookstore chains covering all of Europe, and they often do this kind of thing together. So, if you want to sue the big four publishers , may also involve them."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "I understand. Mr. Stock, thank you. You are really amazing. Not only were you able to photograph so many things, but you also got the daily sales lists of Lace Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore. I have great admiration for the capabilities of your detective agency."

Stock smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm overwhelmed."

Xiao Yunhai took out the check he had already prepared from his pocket, and said, "This is the 100 million US dollars that you deserve."

Stoke was taken aback, and said, "Mr. Xiao, did you give too much? We agreed on 60 US dollars before."

Xiao Yunhai said: "The other 40 is my personal thanks to Mr. Stock. I'm not a stingy person. You saved so much money for me. Of course I have to thank you very much."

A happy smile appeared on Stocker's face, he took the check, and said sincerely: "Mr. Xiao, you are the most generous guest I have ever seen, thank you very much. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Xiao Yunhai said: "There will be."

After sending Stoke away, Xiao Yunhai carefully read the documents in his hand one by one, and then called Jesse.

"Xiao, have you come to Los Angeles?"

Xiao Yunhai was taken aback, and said, "How do you know?"

Jesse smiled and said, "I guessed it. Obviously, I guessed it right."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Jesse, it sounds like you are in a very good mood."

"Of course. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets sold 800 million copies. Can I be unhappy?"

"But I can't be happy. Jesse, I want to sue the four major European publishing houses."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Jesse paused and said, "Xiao, where are you, can we meet?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course. I'm in the villa. If you have time, come over. I need to discuss this matter with you."

Half an hour later, Jesse sat opposite Xiao Yunhai.

He took out a check from his bag, handed it to Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Xiao, the first batch of funds has arrived, a total of 2000 million US dollars."
