Hu Fang hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Our Hu family doesn't have an advantage in this area; the Li family is better off. You have connections in Hong Kong; you could make Hong Kong films!"

"Isn't there Li Zhengdao? He's practically on our side now, so we can try to win him over," Liu Jinshui suggested.

Li Zhengdao is Li Wende's father. In order to gain an advantage, he obtained 500 million yuan from Ma Peter and invested it in Loongson Group.

Hu Fang nodded silently, but then shook his head.

"No, it's better to have fewer people involved in this, otherwise problems are likely to arise."

Liu Jinshui sneered, "He's just a greedy scoundrel. Give him some benefits and he'll be fine. We just need a legal process to transfer funds."

“That’s right. I’ll talk to him. We can produce our own films then, even if they’re bad.”

When faced with interests, no one can sit still, and Hu Fang is no exception.

Ultimately, he agreed to Liu Jinshui's suggestion and stopped paying attention to Hong Kong films.

Seeing this, Liu Jinshui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Kong films can only be made a few times a year, which is nowhere near their pace.

Time passed slowly, and Su Wu remained trapped in a somewhat dull life, longing for the arrival of a true era of great prosperity for the internet.

Now everything is on track, and he seems to just have to wait to reap the rewards.

Just as Su Wu was considering settling down in that city after graduation, Peter Ma reappeared.

When Su Wu saw him and Li Zhi running towards him with beaming faces, he was a little stunned.

"What's going on? Why are you two so happy?"

"Of course it's good news, that's why I rushed over to tell you." Li Zhi said excitedly.

Su Wu was completely bewildered and had no idea what good news could possibly come of it.

The two sat down on either side of Su Wu, mysteriously lit cigarettes, and waited for Su Wu to ask questions.

Seeing this, Su Wu became even more nonchalant and started fiddling with his laptop, showing no intention of asking any questions.

After they finished their cigarette, they found that Su Wu still had no reaction, and Li Zhi finally spoke up in frustration.

"I give up, kid. What are you holding back for? Just ask!"

"Then tell me, you didn't come here just to find me to be your straight man, did you?"

“Okay, I said, someone wants to buy our martial arts panda.”

"What?"

Hearing Li Zhi finally unable to hold back his words, Su Wu was completely numb.

Someone actually wants to buy their animated film that hasn't even finished filming yet?

This person's insights are so empty and so lacking in common sense.

Su Wu doesn't believe that anyone in China can see the value of the martial arts panda.

He had to push the smug-looking Li Zhi aside and turn to look at the composed Peter Ma.

You should know that their martial arts panda is a masterpiece with an investment of 200 million yuan.

These days, very few people in China would dare to do something like this.

If it weren't for Su Wu's comprehensive support, Peter Ma wouldn't have dared to go crazy with him.

Of course, this is only what's on the surface; in reality, the actual investment in this animated film was less than 100 million yuan.

The key reason why they managed to raise 200 million was to take into account the issue of overseas release.

Su Wu stared intently at Peter Ma. "Brother Ma, what's going on? Did you go to solicit investment? That can't be right."

They have plenty of funds now, and Su Wu felt there was absolutely no need to do this, as it would just result in losing profits for nothing.

Peter Ma smiled helplessly, "I didn't solicit any investment, it's not like I'm short of money to play with. The key is that someone wants to buy our shares."

"Who's so blind as to buy this?"

“Li Zhengdao, Li Wende’s father. He borrowed 500 million from me, so this is a small return. This is the proposal he brought.”

Peter didn't beat around the bush; he took out a plan as he spoke.

Su Wu took it with suspicion and was somewhat bewildered.

The plan is not complicated; it simply involves acquiring half of their investment shares.

In other words, the other party wanted to use 100 million to acquire their shares and wait for box office revenue sharing.

In Su Wu's view, this was simply robbing them of their money; it was not a gesture of kindness.

Su Wu is well aware of just how impressive Wushu Panda's performance will be.

Even at the current domestic box office, it could still sell hundreds of millions of yuan.

Needless to say, the box office in Europe and America is definitely in the hundreds of millions of US dollars.

Wouldn't it be foolish to sell the shares now?

Moreover, the acquisition method was also wrong.

Su Wu tossed a few pieces of paper aside and sneered, "I'm confident in the box office performance and don't want to sell. Besides, isn't this just forcing us to take a stake? What benefit do we get?"

At this moment, Li Zhi smiled smugly, "Hehe, we're not stupid. Brother Ma and I offered 120 million, and they agreed right away. Isn't that like giving money away?"

To be honest, they weren't optimistic about Wushu Panda; making a profit was better than losing money.

Upon hearing this, Su Wu thought to himself that the two were quite clever.

However, he still disagreed with that.

He looked at Peter Ma seriously and said, "Brother Ma, if you really intend to make a living in this industry, then don't sell. But if you're just looking to try your luck, then I can take over the whole thing."

Seeing how serious he was, Peter Ma's smile faded.

"I genuinely believe in the entertainment industry. Since you've said that, then I won't sell. But we're all from the Li family, so it's hard to say."

After all, according to common sense, Li Zhengdao had already given quite a lot, which was entirely to take care of these younger generation members.

If they don't agree, they'll probably have a hard time managing things at home.

Seeing the somewhat troubled expressions on Peter Ma and Li Zhi's faces, Su Wu seemed to be deep in thought.

There's definitely something wrong with this Li Zhengdao.

The domestic film industry is not exactly thriving these days; it's common for films to lose money more than they earn.

It's very unusual that he could take out 100 million to invest.

Why doesn't he use that money to invest in making his own movie? He could at least have some illicit relationships with a few celebrities.

Investing in animated films? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

However, Su Wu couldn't figure out what Li Zhengdao was planning to do for the time being.

To comfort the two, he said with a hint of sarcasm, "If they really want to invest, we can make a few more movies. Anyway, Brother Ma is going to develop in this industry, so let's just treat it as practice."

Upon hearing this, Peter Ma and Li Zhi both showed thoughtful expressions.

The two of them didn't believe that Li Zhengdao had any faith in the potential of an animated film.

They took it all as a way of repaying Li Zhengdao for successfully obtaining the loan.

But to be honest, their relationship wasn't very good; they were two teams with disagreements.

If, as Su Wu said, Li Zhengdao only wanted to invest in movies, then they could take the opportunity to make several more and not care if they lost money.

They understand the principle that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

After dismissing the two men, Su Wu didn't take it to heart.

He's currently focused on the computer orders, which he needs to complete by working overtime.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

Just a few days later, Peter Ma and Li Zhi came again.
