What a decadent and corrupt life, a life of pure thrill-seeking, a bit boring.

After going out to sea on the cruise ship that day, he didn't want to go out with Fang Zhiyuan anymore. The next day, he said he was going to meet a friend and went out alone.

These days, his driver stayed in a nearby hotel. He sent a message to the driver last night and he came to wait for him early in the morning.

Chen Xu did make an appointment with someone. His fellow villager Chen Chao runs a company here. They haven't seen each other for a while. Now that he is free, he called him and made an appointment to meet today.

He went directly to Chen Chao's company, parked his car downstairs, and called Chen Chao.

A few minutes later, Chen Chao came downstairs to pick him up. When he saw him getting out of the car, his eyes widened and he asked in shock, "It's only been a short time since we last met, and you're already driving a Maybach?"

Chen Xu smiled and said, "How is it? The car is OK, right?"

"That's great." Chen Chao walked around the car, his eyes shining. "This is my dream."

Chen Xu knew that he liked cars very much. He used the money he earned in the first year of running the company to buy cars first and put the house aside. His wife has been talking about this for several years.

He said, "Do you want to open it?"

"Really?" Chen Chao's eyes lit up.

"Can."

Chen Chao drove the car around twice to satisfy his desire. When he got out of the car, he praised, "This multi-million dollar car drives differently. It's much better than my car."

"Yeah." Chen Xu said.

In fact, he never drove the car after buying it. He always had a driver to pick him up and drop him off when he went out. It wasn't just to show off, but mainly because he felt that he spent too much time on the road when he went out so often. Hiring a driver would allow him to do something on the road.

Chen Chao led him upstairs.

This was his first time in Chen Chao's company. The office was not very big, and there were not many people there. They were all quite young. They gathered in groups of three or four, and were having heated discussions.

The two entered Chen Chao's office.

Chen Xu said, "You guys seem to be very busy. Am I here at a bad time?"

"Hey, it's so rare for us to see each other, why are you talking about this?" Chen Chao sat down on the sofa, started washing the teacups, and prepared to make tea.

"Where is my sister-in-law?" Chen Xu asked. He and his wife started a business together, and his wife has made an indispensable contribution to the company's current scale.

Chen Chao said, "She is pregnant with her second child, so I asked her to rest at home."

"Congratulations, then."

"What's there to congratulate? The pressure is too great." Chen Chao said, and he had already made tea. "Come, have some tea."

He placed a cup in front of Chen Xu and said curiously, "Two months ago, I heard from my family that you made a fortune in business. What kind of business is that?"

"I opened a noodle shop before, and later opened an IT company."

"The input method and translation software are called Future Voice and Future Translation."

"Let me see." Chen Chao took out his phone and downloaded the two apps from the app store. "For IT professionals, the most important thing is financing. How much investment did you get?"

"One hundred million."

Chen Chao couldn't help but sigh, "I've run my company for a few years, and my revenue is less than one-tenth of this amount."

"That's the investors' money, not mine."

Chen Xu smiled and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of a VR glasses called Future Vision?"

"I've heard of it. It was very popular in the news a while ago. It is said that its performance is ten times better than that of VR glasses on the market. I don't know if it is exaggerated."

"It's definitely exaggerated, but the performance is indeed much better than other VR devices." Chen Xu said, "To be honest, this product was developed by my girlfriend's company."

"Your girlfriend's company?"

Chen Chao was a little surprised, then he remembered something and asked, "Which girlfriend?"

He had met both Yang Jinxia and Luo Xiyun, so he wanted to ask clearly.

Chen Xu said, "The one you met later. As you know, to promote VR equipment, there must be high-quality content, mainly games and videos. Doesn't your company make special effects? I just want to ask you about the situation."

"Then you have found the right person. I am not familiar with games, but I am quite familiar with videos," said Chen Chao. He is an industry insider. His company started out doing CG animations, and later upgraded to special effects for TV and movies.

"In recent years, domestic animated films have been getting better and better. I want to find a reliable director and team to make an animated film. But I'm afraid of finding the wrong people. It doesn't matter if the money is wasted, but I'm mainly worried about wasting time. If you are in this industry, you must know which teams are bluffing and which teams are sincere in their work."

Chen Chao frowned slightly and said, "It takes at least tens of millions to invest in an animated film. Moreover, several animated films have become popular. I heard that many film companies have new animation projects. The production costs will definitely increase in the future. It may be hundreds of millions. If you use it to shoot VR, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover the cost."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "I have thought about this. When shooting, I will make it in two formats, one that can be shown in theaters, and one that can be shown in VR. It can also be released in theaters to recover the cost."

In fact, the VR camera developed by Luo Xiyun can save in three formats: 2D, 3D, and VR. In the future, Yunxu will definitely sell this camera to major film companies.

By then, as long as you spend money to buy VR copyrights, you can get a lot of high-quality content. For film companies, having an additional channel of income will definitely be actively promoted. It is a win-win choice.

Chen Chao thought about it and actually gave him a few lists.

His company is engaged in special effects, and he has direct contact with the production team. He knows clearly which team is just doing the job and which team is working seriously. Even if he has never worked with them, he can find out from his peers.

At present, domestic special effects companies are relatively small, some are good at one aspect, some are good at another. It is rare for a company to take over the entire movie special effects project. Usually, it is subcontracted, and each company does a part. There are many connections between them.

Chen Xu picked up the list and took a look at it, then said, "When the time comes, I'll need your help in making the recommendation. Don't treat me like a sucker."

Chen Chao thought about it and realized that it made sense. The film industry was a complicated one, and it was common practice to cheat investors. He said, "Okay, I'll help you contact them when the time comes."
