Zhao An acted very quickly and made an appointment with Li Jingshan, the boss of Bohai International, to Xiyuan the next day. Li Jingshan has been a close friend of Xiyuan's mysterious boss Ye Fang for a long time. This time with Zhao An's help, Li Jingshan felt that it was worthwhile to use a company to establish a relationship with Ye Fang. Before meeting Ye Fang, Li Jingshan planned how to use it. The media company reached a long-term cooperative relationship with Ye Fang.

After Zhao An introduced Ye Fang and Li Jingshan, they got down to business.

"Mr. Li, please set a price for Wynn Media." Ye Fang said directly.

"Mr. Ye, this company is not worth much, and I am not short of this money. If you like it, just take it. To be honest, you are doing me a favor and helping me solve my problem. How can I still ask for your money?" Li Jingshan's family is in the petrochemical industry, mainly engaged in the lubricant business, and it also occupies a certain market share in the domestic market. In terms of business, this media company is really nothing to Li Jingshan's family business. It is nothing more than staff wages and house rent, which is only 800 yuan a year.

Ye Fang didn't speak for a long time, as his mind seemed to be thinking about something. Li Jingshan looked at Ye Fang, then at Zhao An, and winked at Zhao An. Zhao An knew that Li Jingshan wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Ye Fang, and it didn't matter even if the media company gave it to Ye Fang for free.

Zhao An coughed slightly and said, "This company is indeed not worth much, and it is not a big business for the two bosses. Mr. Li's family is in the domestic lubricant business, and the two companies may be in the future There is still the possibility of cooperation, so why not take this opportunity to get to know each other and make friends."

"We are friends, right?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we are already friends." Zhao Anpei said with a smile.

"Since we are friends, I can't let you suffer. I won't give you any money from the company. How about I leave you ten points of shares?" Ye Fang said.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye." Li Jingshan said with satisfaction.

Zhao An now doesn't know who begged whom. On the surface, Ye Fang wanted to buy Wynn Media, so he should be begging Li Jingshan. But he didn't expect that Li Jingshan would give the pole to Ye Fang now, even if Ye Fang didn't give him the money. Now Ye Fang directly gave up [-]% of the shares, and Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked him.

"We will all be friends from now on. There is no need to be so polite. I will have someone contact the person below you regarding the transfer of the company," Ye Fang said.

"Okay, no problem." Li Jingshan readily agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Fang asked Li Jiayi and Miao Qianqian to handle the matter. Wynn Media was renamed as Times Media, which is specialized in domestic acting service agency, brokerage business and film and television drama shooting related business. It will definitely be the structure of the film and television entertainment group in the future. Ten percent of Times Media's shares were given to Li Jingshan's Bohai International. The remaining 90.00% of the shares were owned by Xiangjiang Zhongrui Capital, which accounted for 20.00%, Yang Mingzhen's Warner Film and Television, which accounted for 30.00%, and Guizhi Investment, which accounted for 40.00%. %. At the same time, Ye Fang promised Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi that Times Media would be among the top three in the country within three years and would give them shares. Miao Qianqian would be responsible for the overall operation of the company, and Li Jiayi would be responsible for the company's celebrity brokerage business.

Three days later, all relevant procedures for Times Media were completed. Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi had fully taken over the company's business and began to connect with Hong Kong Warner Films and Television for domestic entertainment business. At the same time, Ye Fang injected [-] million yuan into Times Media as start-up capital. With the funds With the support of Li Jiayi, she began to comprehensively establish the domestic brokerage business of Times Media. In addition to newly signed artists, she also began to dig out celebrity artists from mature companies and offered them performing arts contracts that were hard to refuse. Suddenly, the entire domestic celebrity brokerage company was facing a formidable enemy. , have raised the cost of breach of contract for artists to prevent Times Media from poaching in the industry.

However, Times Media is a new company after all, and it is not well known in terms of reputation or strength. Therefore, Times Media urgently needs an opportunity to prove its appeal in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the Chang'an Club's anniversary charity gala became an Opportunity. The press conference of the large-scale charity gala "Hand in Hand with Chang'an, March Forward" was officially announced. At the press conference, the list of artists from Hong Kong was first announced. Once announced, it immediately shocked the entire domestic entertainment industry. In the past, invitations were always given one or two. , I didn’t expect that Times Media directly invited as many as [-] people this time, and there were even many Hong Kong artists who had no performance plans and just came to the stage. It was comparable to the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony.

Many of the artists on the list are first-line celebrities. These people gathered in the capital and immediately made Times Media the limelight in the country. Domestic first-line artists who originally disdained participating in such charity galas have also extended an olive branch to Chang'an Club, hoping to sing a song at the gala or even walk on the red carpet once. This party is a charity party. Chang'an Club will donate all ticket sales to build [-] schools in impoverished mountainous areas. The shortfall will be made up by Chang'an Club. As for these artists in Xiangjiang, Chang'an Club has fully paid their appearance fees. Times Media made a lot of money, and this event made Li Jingshan extremely proud of his wise decision.

Zhao An was praised by the board of directors of Chang'an Club for his ability in running this party. It can be said that this party effectively promoted Chang'an Club and made Times Media report on the front pages of domestic entertainment newspapers.

The entire Taiwanese party is moving forward very quickly, and it is scheduled to be held on the evening of May Day at the Beijing Workers' Stadium. This is the first time that Times Media has run such a large-scale party, and it is also the first time that Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi have shown their abilities in front of Ye Fang. Therefore, both of them are very dedicated. They not only invited the top domestic sound team to set up the stage, but also contacted More than [-] domestic news media created momentum for the party. Due to the gathering of superstars throughout the party, ticket prices have skyrocketed. Not only were all the shows sold out, but some tickets were sold for over [-] yuan.

Xiyuan, two days before the charity party.

"Brother Ye, now the Vaghlian has been forced to park in the Turkish seaport, and now the Turkish government has dispatched police to directly detain it. Now we not only have to pay the transportation company nearly 1.7 US dollars per day, but also pay the Turkish government every day. Pay a monthly detention fee of US$[-].”

Ye Fang on the other side of the phone frowned as he listened to Su Long's report. What Ye Fang didn't expect was that the Turkish government was the first to jump out and act as a pawn for the United States.

"The reasons for the detention are all bizarre. They are worried that the Varyag will cause fluctuations in the sea water when passing through the strait, which will affect the navigation safety of other ships. They also say that the Varyag may carry a deadly virus, and they will have to wait for inspection before deciding whether to release it. If not for too much consideration. Too much, I really want to shoot those Turkish government officials with a gun."

"Remember that your duty is to take good care of the Vagrian. Others need to be resolved through diplomatic channels, and I will coordinate. You must take care of yourself there. The original plan was for a few months, but now it seems that it is not that easy. If you stay in Turkey for too long, I will arrange for someone to bring you back," Ye Fang said.

"No need, when will the Vagliang return home? Let's go home!" Su Long insisted.

"Okay, you guys, please pay attention to safety, don't be stingy with spending money, eat and drink when you should, I will take care of the rest." After Ye Fang said that, he hung up the phone. Although Ye Fang said so, what can be done specifically? There is no solution at all. When it comes to communication and coordination between countries, this is beyond Ye Fang's control. Since Turkey is willing to act as a pawn of the United States, it will not let the Vagalyan go so easily. Ye Fang could only throw this problem to Ye Youxin and ask him to come forward to solve it.

"Mr. Ye, everyone is waiting for you."

Miao Qianqian came to the ginkgo tree in Qianyuan and said to Ye Fang who was on the phone. Her tone was very respectful. Even though she had walked closely with Ye Fang in Haojiang, Miao Qianqian did not dare to go overboard at this time.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Miao Qianqian then accompanied Ye Fang to room No. [-]. Tonight, Yang Mingzhen brought his top artist Hua Zai to Xiyuan to meet Ye Fang. Apparently he had something to discuss with Ye Fang. Also attending the banquet were Lu Jiaming of Zhongrui Capital and Chen Lexing of China Shipping. They were also invited to attend the charity party this time. There were two brothers, Zhao Yong and Zhao An, on the Chang'an Club side, and of course Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi on the Times Media side. Everyone stood up when they saw Ye Fang coming in. Ye Fang waved to everyone to be casual and you're welcome.

Ye Fang's brows were furrowed because of Wagariang's matter, and he had an aura of calmness and authority. For a moment, everyone here didn't know why. They didn't know if Ye Fang was dissatisfied with him. Everyone was a little confused. Measures, the atmosphere of the whole room is a bit dull.

"You guys eat and relax." Ye Fang didn't seem to realize what the problem was. Seeing that everyone at the table was silent, he quickly came out to smooth things over.

There is no one like Xiaozhuang around Ye Fang, and almost no one dares to joke with Ye Fang in public or adjust the atmosphere in a teasing way. Apart from Zhang Xiuying, those who dare to speak to Ye Fang now are probably He Chaoqiong, a woman who has a physical relationship with Ye Fang, and of course there is another woman, Xiang Yu.

Just when the room fell into a brief awkwardness, Xiang Yu suddenly came uninvited and pushed open the door of the room.

"Why are you here?" Ye Fang looked at Xiang Yu who suddenly appeared with some surprise.

"Why can't I come?" Xiang Yu looked at the people at the table, and finally his eyes fell on Hua Zai. His eyes immediately softened, and then he said a little shyly, "Can I sit down with Hua Zai?" Around you?"

"Come on, little sister, sit here." Hua Zai could tell at a glance that Xiang Yu and Ye Fang had an unusual relationship, and he must win over such people. Seeing this, Xiang Yu immediately sat down next to Hua Zai. Hua Zai thoughtfully set the dishes and chopsticks for Xiang Yu, making Xiang Yu extremely beautiful.

Ye Fang could tell at a glance that Xiang Yu was here for Hua Zai. As for how she knew Hua Zai was here and how she found Xiyuan, Ye Fang knew that Xiang Yu had her own way.

"Hurry up and eat, why are you so serious?" Xiang Yu glanced at everyone's faces, and then looking at Ye Fang's expression, he immediately knew what the problem was. Then he directly said to Ye Fang, "Mr. Ye, can you stop making this expression? Who can eat with your expression?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?" After Ye Fang said this, he immediately understood what the problem was. He quickly adjusted his mood and raised his glass. As Ye Fang's expression relaxed, the atmosphere in the whole room gradually became better. . Especially with Xiang Yu, the laughter in the whole room never stopped. At this time, everyone was very lucky that Xiang Yu smoothed things over in time, otherwise they wouldn't know how to eat this meal. Zhao Yong and Zhao An talked about Ye Fang privately. They both said that seeing Ye Fang again felt different this time. Even they did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Ye Fang.

"Why am I not? I came with Brother Dong and dared to joke with him. If it were me, I wouldn't dare." Zhao An said in a low voice.

Now, as the level of people he contacts increases, Ye Fang's aura of superiority has become increasingly grand. Especially when Ye Fang doesn't speak, everyone around him finds it difficult to even breathe, let alone joke. Especially Ye Fang's subordinates, or people who have interests with Ye Fang, cannot speak freely in front of Ye Fang. Only people like Xiang Yu, who have no requirements for Ye Fang, can speak freely and do not need to care about Ye Fang's attitude at all.

As Ye Fang's attitude softened, everyone began to chat enthusiastically. Yang Mingzhen, Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi talked about their future cooperation plans. Lu Jiaming and Chen Lexing from Zhongrui Capital reported their recent work to Ye Fang while toasting, while Hua Zai talked to Xiang Yutian from all over the world. In short, the atmosphere in the whole room is very harmonious.

After dinner, Yang Mingzhen took Hua Zai to Ye Fang's study, where Miao Qianqian and Li Jiayi sat beside him. At this time, Miao Qianqian acted as a waiter, pouring tea and water for Ye Fang very considerately, and then sat quietly aside.

"Mr. Ye, Andy wants to set up his own film company and hopes to get the company's support." The company support Yang Mingzhen said actually means that he hopes the company will not pursue the huge liquidated damages caused by Andy's termination of the contract. For a super star like Andy to break the contract, Gold is basically measured in hundreds of millions.

"Mr. Ye, I know that my departure will cause great losses to the company, and I am willing to compensate the company from other places. This plan of mine was already in progress before you joined Warner, and I hope to get your support. ." Hua Zai said very sincerely. After finishing speaking, his eyes were fixed on Ye Fang, paying attention to Ye Fang's reaction.

"Mr. Yang, the company belongs to you, what do you say?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

When Yang Mingzhen heard what Ye Fang said, he immediately felt embarrassed and hurriedly replied, "The company belongs to you, including me...Oh! No, I didn't mean that." Yang Mingzhen felt that he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected him. .

Ye Fang chuckled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I know what you mean, just keep talking."

Yang Mingzhen saw that Ye Fang didn't seem to pursue what he said wrongly, and didn't seem to express any clear objection to Hua Tsai's departure. He felt that he had gained enough courage and had the courage to tell Ye Fang what he thought.
