Chapter 878 You are insulting my personality
In the second half of the year, they just invested more than 2 million in Aitexin, and before the New Year they spent another 2 million to invest in Rongshuxia. If it weren't for Lin Weimin's high moral character and high prestige in the Guowen Society, I'm afraid the controversy in the society would have already been boiling over during this period.
Of course, there are quite a few discussions now, but due to Lin Weimin’s reputation, everyone’s discussions are relatively rational.
"Investing in another website? Didn't you just invest in Aisomexin a few months ago?"
"Let's go with I-Trust. Our Chinese Literature Society already has an official website with many users. Why is the president investing in a new website? Aren't those who run websites losing money these days?"
"It's certain that we will lose money. But this thing is also considered a high-tech industry, so we should just keep up with the trend!"
"What do you know? The president has a far-sighted vision, and he sees what will happen ten years later. The Internet industry is the development trend of the future. This is called early planning."
"He~tui, you flatterer, are you obvious?"
"Are you swearing? Do you believe I will report you to the president?"
"You go, you go. The president is so wise and powerful, how can he believe the slander of a villain like you?"
"Tui, you're a slut!"
The people in the community talked about it, but they generally supported Lin Weimin's behavior.
Over the years, Lin Weimin has demonstrated his outstanding vision through actions and facts.
The investment in Under the Banyan Tree was settled. Zhu William and Lin Weimin agreed to move the website to Yanjing after the new year, and then Under the Banyan Tree would operate independently.
After seeing Zhu William off, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
Feng Xiaogang's "Never Ending" has been released for four weeks and the final box office should be 60.1 million yuan.
Due to the impact of piracy at this stage, the box office of most movies in the third and fourth weeks has dropped significantly.
"Never Ending" barely reached 60 million, which is the third time in a row that Feng Xiaogang's films have grossed over 60 million. He used this to completely establish his box office appeal in the minds of the audience, especially during the Lunar New Year period.
That evening, he stood at the entrance of Donglaishun. It had just passed the Great Cold these days. As soon as it got dark and a light north wind blew, people would feel chilled to the bone if they stood outdoors for a few minutes.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Xiaogang finally saw Wang Shuo and immediately waved and greeted him, "Master Shuo!"
Wang Shuo walked closer and looked at Feng Xiaogang's red face from the cold. He felt relieved and said sarcastically, "Director Feng is being courteous to a virtuous person!"
"Look at what you said. I am here to welcome the leader! Come in, come in, it's so cold outside!"
Feng Xiaogang pulled Wang Shuo into Donglaishun. There was no one else at the dinner today except the two of them.
As soon as Feng Xiaogang sat at the table, he enthusiastically served food and poured wine for Wang Shuo, just like he did in the past.
His attitude satisfied Wang Shuo. After a few drinks, Wang Shuo said, "Come on, tell me what you want from me?"
Feng Xiaogang smiled and said, "Look at what you said. If nothing happens, can't I treat you to a meal?"
When Wang Shuo heard this, he stood up and was about to leave, but Feng Xiaogang stopped him.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I said..." Feng Xiaogang quickly begged for mercy, "My movie Never Ending has been released, and I'm thinking about what to shoot next. After thinking about it, I think your work is more profound."
Wang Shuo shook off his hand and said, "Don't try to fool me. I guess this is your purpose today."
Feng Xiaogang gave a thumbs up and said, "Master Shuo, you have a keen eye!"
"Don't give me that. Just tell me the price."
Feng Xiaogang's departure from Good Dreams directly led to the collapse of Good Dreams. Wang Shuo was angry at first, and was even so angry that he called Lin Weimin to question him.
The result is naturally self-evident. How could a talker like him, who is weak in every way, possibly beat Lin Weimin? He was retorted by Lin Weimin with just a few words.
After calming down, Wang Shuo slowly figured it out. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It is really impossible to blame Feng Xiaogang for this.
Even if we go our separate ways, we won't become enemies.
After understanding this truth, Wang Shuo calmed down a lot.
But it was impossible for him to take the initiative to find Feng Xiaogang to make peace. He believed that Feng Xiaogang also understood that their relationship could never go back to the way it was before.
"Never Ending" was released recently. This is the first work after Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo parted ways, and Wang Shuo is paying close attention to it.
The movie’s reputation was average, but its box office was as strong as ever.
Seeing this situation, Wang Shuo also realized that Feng Xiaogang's wings were now really strong and he could do just fine without him.
When Wang Shuo received Feng Xiaogang's call, he guessed his purpose. Wang Shuo did not hesitate. Although their relationship had grown distant, he still had to make money.
"I've taken a fancy to your film 'The Untold Story'. The copyright adaptation fee is 100,000 yuan. If you are willing to be the screenwriter, the profit sharing will remain the same as before," said Feng Xiaogang.
This price was worthy of Wang Shuo's worth. He nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled. You guys prepare the contract and I'll go sign it later."
"Thank you, Master Shuo." Feng Xiaogang smiled and raised his glass. "I toast to you!"
The two drank a glass of wine, and Feng Xiaogang sighed: "Fighting side by side with you again."
Hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Wang Shuo's face.
There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. According to the old rules of previous years, Lin Weimin took action again and visited the retired cadres of the Guowen Society.
After the tour, his biggest feeling was that retirement is indeed the best maintenance medicine.
Before retirement, these old guys were all sick and had a headache every now and then. But now, after many years of retirement, they are all in their seventies and eighties and are full of energy.
When he visited Niu Han's home, the old man pulled him aside and whispered to him, "Why aren't you inviting us this year?"
"It's been too cold recently, and it just snowed. You all have old arms and legs. What if you fall down and get hurt when you go out?"
Niu Han glared and said, "Who is old? Do you think I am one of those old guys like Lao Meng and Lao Yan?"
He may have realized that his attitude was a bit bad, and he said slowly: "You have to invite me! How many times can we old men get together? Every time we meet is one less time..."
Comrade Lao Niu suddenly played the emotional card, which immediately aroused Lin Weimin's vigilance. He stared at Lao Niu's face for a long time, and the old man was annoyed.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Comrade Lao Niu shouted.
"You have bad intentions, don't you?"
Hearing this, Comrade Lao Niu's face turned red instantly, as if he had suffered a great insult.
"You're bullshitting! You're insulting my character!"
The more Lao Niu reacted like this, the more suspicious Lin Weimin became.
This rascal is really mad at me, why would he talk so fancy?
"You all live in the same courtyard, and you see each other often," said Lin Weimin.
Niu Han said: "How can it be the same? Besides, don't we still live together? There is only one chance like this in a year, so we must cherish it!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Weimin with a suspicious expression, "You kid, you've become ungrateful to your relatives since you became the president, right?"
Good job!
This is starting to become moral blackmail.
Lin Weimin would never believe that Lao Niu had no ill intentions.
"What are you doing? Don't give me that shit. Do you believe me, I'm leaving right now?"
When it comes to playing tricks, Lin Weimin has never been afraid of anyone in the Chinese Literature Society.
Seeing that he failed to scare Lin Weimin, Comrade Lao Niu quickly pulled him back and softened his tone again.
"Look at you, look at you, I said you have a bad temper now that you are the president, right?"
"That's because I'm angry at you!" Lin Weimin said.
"I don't mean to make you angry. I'm just doing this to make everyone happy!" Lao Niu changed his attitude and became unspeakably gentle.
Lin Weimin was not affected by him at all and pressed him, "Tell me the truth, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that he couldn't coax Lin Weimin, Lao Niu looked hesitant.
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving!" Lin Weimin raised his leg and prepared to leave again.
Lao Niu stopped him and took a furtive look at the bedroom. His wife had a headache in the afternoon and was lying in the bedroom.
"Well, I just wanted to have a drink with everyone."
Lin Weimin suddenly realized that he was craving for wine.
He couldn't help but get angry and said, "Look at what you did just to get some wine."
Lao Niu lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes, I am indeed possessed by a ghost. But this can't be entirely blamed on me..."
He pointed his finger towards the bedroom and lowered his voice to complain, "You usually don't let me drink a sip of alcohol! That's too cruel. Even Zhou Baopi isn't this cruel!"
"Isn't it for your health?" Lin Weimin scolded.
"I understand that. But don't people in prison also have time to relax and exercise?"
As Lao Niu spoke, a pleading expression appeared on his face.
Lin Weimin pondered and said, "Don't you know your own physique? Not letting you drink is for your own good."
"How can it be so weird? Don't I know my own body?"
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade, Lin Weimin just wouldn't agree, and Comrade Lao Niu was so anxious that he scratched his head.
This guy has become more and more difficult to deal with since he became the president.
Lao Niu used both soft and hard tactics, and all his sweet words failed to make Lin Weimin change his mind. When Lin Weimin was about to leave, Lao Niu was too lazy to get up and see him off.
"Is this how you entertain guests at home?" Lin Weimin said sarcastically.
Lao Niu then stood up reluctantly and sent him to the door. Lin Weimin held the door with his hand, and just before closing it, he suddenly said, "Don't go anywhere tomorrow afternoon."
After saying that, Lin Weimin closed the door and left, leaving Comrade Lao Niu standing there. He was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.
"Aiyah ...
At this time, his wife heard the noise and came out of the bedroom. Seeing Lao Niu's happy face, she asked, "Weimin is gone? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lao Niu immediately stopped smiling and said, "We are not strangers, why are you being so polite? Go back to bed and lie down, don't fall!"
After helping his wife onto the bed, Lao Niu returned to the living room, smiled happily again, and then started cursing again.
"This bastard is trying to make fun of me. I'm going to get him drunk tomorrow!"
The next afternoon, Meng Weizai and his wife looked at Lin Weimin, who came to their house with wine and food, with grim expressions on their faces.
"Can you find someone else to harm?" Meng Weizai said helplessly.
Lin Weimin didn't care. "Don't worry. I called in new forces today. You two old people won't have to bother coming."
Hearing what he said, Meng Weizai and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Lao Zhou and Lao Cheng arrived together. Lin Weimin immediately directed them, "Lao Zhou, you are responsible for washing the vegetables, Lao Cheng, you are responsible for cutting the vegetables."
"Then what are you doing?" Old Cheng asked dissatisfiedly.
"I'm flipping the wok! Do you think I can sit idle? Do you understand division of labor and cooperation?"
Seeing this, Lao Zhou and Lao Cheng could not refuse and could only do their own work. While working, Lao Cheng could not help but grumble: "They said they would treat us to a meal, but I still have to do it myself."
"Who said it wasn't true? It's fine to wash vegetables at home, but I still have to wash vegetables when I go out to eat..."
Comrade Zhou, who always follows President Lin's footsteps, couldn't help but complain about his treatment today.
"Xiao Zhou, don't just leave the washed vegetables there. Drain them to avoid oil spilling out when you put them in the pan later."
Meng Weizai's wife reminded him.
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Zhou responded hurriedly, not bothering to talk.
Lin Weimin still had work to do, so he said to Meng Weizai, "Go upstairs and take a look around and invite everyone over."
"Why don't you go?"
"Just go if I tell you to. Can you show some initiative? I still have to go outside to pick someone up!"
"Don't you still have to stir the wok?" Meng Weizai asked.
"Oh, I forgot about this." He said he forgot, but his eyes were fixed on Meng Weizai's wife.
The old lady sighed, she knew that with the coming of Monkey King, she would definitely not have an easy time.
"Come on, go pick them up."
Lin Weimin responded happily, "Okay, thank you, auntie!"
There were only a few people in the room, and Lin Weimin had made all the arrangements for them.
As soon as he left, everyone despised his bad behavior.
