Yes, the scar on Su Qing’s face is gone.

There are hardly any marks left and it looks just as beautiful as before.

Su Qing couldn't hide her excitement on her face.

"For this, I would like to thank your friend very much. The expert she recommended was very professional. Not only did he repair the scar on my face, but he also didn't charge me any fees because of your friend."

"Next time we meet, please help me thank her."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly and nodded.

Bai Ruoxue, I don’t even know where she is now.

"Are you used to your job in the capital?"

"fine."

Su Qing smiled and said, "My leaders and colleagues are very kind to me and take good care of me. I have learned a lot during this period."

Chen Fan nodded: "That's good. Try to get familiar with the company's work as soon as possible. I have high expectations for you in the future."

These words made Su Qing look a little embarrassed and she lowered her head shyly.

“Will you choose to start a company in the United States in the future?”

"Why do you ask?"

"I thought you were investing in companies in the United States because you were planning to do this."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"I still have to think about this, but I don't have any ideas about this for now."

The two had a rare opportunity to be alone together for the whole morning and talked about many topics.

At noon, Ma Xiaoshuai and Luo Wenjie came back, and they bought a lot of gifts in big and small bags.

Brother Jie bought Su Qing a brand-name bag as a gift, but Su Qing refused.

Brother Jie forced it several times, but Su Qing still refused to accept it. Finally, Chen Fan couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

"It's a rare trip for you, so take it and consider it as a subsidy for your travel expenses."

Su Qing hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the gift, but she still looked up and glanced at Chen Fan.

"As a boss, you are using other people's gifts as a favor."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I knew you would say that. Just let it go. I have already prepared your gift for you."

Ma Xiaoshuai cheered on the side.

"You must not refuse the gift from Lao Chen, really, believe me. It's a good thing."

Su Qing became even more curious.

"What is it?"

"A bottle of red wine. It's hard to buy in China though. It's an expensive red wine."

Su Qing was somewhat delighted. In fact, she didn't mind what gift Chen Fan gave her. She just liked the fact that Chen Fan treated her as an old friend instead of an employee.

"Let's go. Have lunch first, then set off."

Because there was no Chinese restaurant nearby, the four of them had lunch at the hotel.

When the four of them finished their meal and came out of the hotel, Zhang Shun had already rented another car and drove over.

Before getting in the car, Zhang Shun secretly reported to Chen Fan.

We investigated last night and found no suspicious persons.

Chen Fan nodded to show that he understood. He thought that he was just being too suspicious.

Legendary Pictures is located in Burbank.

Before coming, Honghu Investment in Beijing had already sent a letter to Legendary Pictures, stating that the boss would come today.

So when Chen Fan and his companions arrived, the company even prepared a simple welcome ceremony.

As the company's current largest shareholder, the executives here still attach great importance to Chen Fan.

After a brief greeting, the two sides were led by the general manager to visit the company, and then went to a conference room for a simple meeting.

Chen Fan already knew all the information about Legendary Pictures by heart.

06. When Bai Erye founded the investment company, the think tank invested in many foreign companies, covering many fields.

Legendary Pictures is purely a casual move, and the amount of investment is the smallest.

Even so, it cost nearly $1.2 billion to acquire 85% of the company's shares.

Currently, Legendary Pictures has cooperated with Warner Bros. to launch well-known films such as "Batman" trilogy, "Superman Returns" and "The Hangover".

Even so, Legendary Pictures' business conditions are not very good.

After all, there are too many film companies in Hollywood, and this industry is really too competitive.

And to put it bluntly, the film industry is a bit like gambling. If you are not careful and invest in the wrong movie, it may even cause the company to go bankrupt.

For example, my old friend Harry Sloan.

The reason why his company MGM almost went bankrupt was because in 2002, MGM invested 115 million U.S. dollars in letting John Woo shoot "Windtalkers".

As a result, the film only grossed $78 million worldwide, which directly damaged MGM, caused its stock price to plummet, and the company's top executives were forced to resign. MGM was auctioned off and eventually acquired by Sony.

Harry Sloan became chairman of the board after Sony acquired MGM.

Of course, Chen Fan knew very well that even though Sony acquired MGM, it still could not get rid of the company's difficulties in the following years. The company was unable to repay its valuable debts and finally declared bankruptcy in 2010, that is, tomorrow.

Therefore, Harry Sloan's rejection of Nolan last night was not just an excuse, but the company was really facing great operating pressure.

After the two of them had a brief exchange of acquaintance, Chen Fan stated the purpose of his visit.

He took out the script provided by Nolan and said that he was ready to invest 150 million US dollars in this movie.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the executives present changed slightly.

The script was circulated among several executives, who finally whispered to each other, and then the CEO spoke.

"Mr. Chen, our suggestion is to reject this investment."

"You may not know that although the company's current operations seem to be normal,... we are investing so much money in a movie at once... the risk is too great."

"Even if the director is Nolan, the risk is still uncontrollable. If there is one mistake, the company will be doomed."

Chen Fan nodded to show his understanding, but said that since he was the major shareholder, he should have the right to decide on the investment in a movie, right?

As a result, the CEO shook his head.

"According to the original investment agreement, although you are the company's major shareholder, you cannot rudely interfere with the company's operations."

Chen Fan frowned, this made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then let me ask, is there any way to perfectly solve this problem?"

This problem is actually very easy to solve.

When the meeting ended, Chen Fan found the answer.

He tackled the problem directly at the source.

He invested another $680 million to directly acquire the remaining 15 percent of Legendary Pictures.

Completely completed 100% control of the company.

Chen Fan's move even stunned Su Qing, Ma Xiaoshuai and the other two who came with him.

Didn’t you say you were here to invest in movies?

How to acquire the company directly?

Chen Fan looked at the CEO sitting opposite him.

"Does what I say work now?"
