Chapter 515: Isn’t Buyback a Good Thing Now? (4521)
Da Mimi's face turned pale after she answered Zeng Jia's call.
Her ex-husband has been filming the TV series "Barbaric Chronicles" adapted from Xibaishi's online novel in Anxi for the past two months. He went to the heroine Wang Manchun's room at night and did not come out for more than four hours.
Although the outside world has been speculating about her marital status since last year, due to Jiaxing's bet, her divorce from her ex-husband has never been made public.
And just now, the famous paparazzi king - Zhuo Wei, found Zeng Jia through an intermediary, saying that he had filmed some materials about her ex-husband, and asked Jiaxing how much he wanted to offer to buy them back.
Similar things happen almost every month. Jiaxing is already familiar with dealing with this kind of thing and originally wanted to just give some money and get rid of it.
Unexpectedly, the other party asked for a huge sum of money, one hundred million.
It’s okay if you don’t have that much cash. You can pay 50 million first and then pay the next 50 million in installments.
Of course, this kind of asking is definitely not a direct request, as asking directly would be extortion.
Paparazzi have plenty of ways to let the other party know their needs without leaving any handle for the other party.
"I know this material isn't worth 100 million to Da Mimi, but it's worth more than 100 million to Jiaxing."
"If the bet fails and the valuation drops, it won't just be a matter of one hundred million, right?"
"First of all, I'm not here for Da Mimi, and there's no need for Da Mimi to take the money herself."
"So I didn't look for Da Mimi or Uncle Liu, but came to find you Jiaxing."
"Five days. I'll give you five days. You can figure it out yourself."
After hearing what the middleman relayed to Zhuo Wei, Da Mimi became furious. If the Boundless Messenger had not completely restrained her extraordinary pressure within her body, everyone within a three-meter radius of her would have been scared to death.
This thing can only be obtained through the lobby terminal in the Lorin Tower, but there are quite a few left in the main plane.
He had found one before in the coffin where Edward faked his death.
Later, Fang Yu collected no less than dozens of these things from all over the main plane through the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Light.
He took them all back to Lorraine Tower for initialization, and set these boundless messengers as the "sub-messengers" of his own line.
The one Da Mimi is wearing around her neck is one of them.
The Boundless Messenger can only be used after breaking through to the extraordinary level. Currently, only Da Mimi is qualified to use it.
This boundless messenger, as Fang Yu's "subordinate messenger", has specially activated the "pressure concentration" function to avoid affecting ordinary people.
"I really just went to review the script! Believe it or not!!"
An exasperated voice came from the Mix in Da Mimi's hand.
"Reviewing the script? Reviewing the script in the dark? Are you kidding me? Is your script luminous?"
Da Mimi's nostrils trembled, and she was obviously very angry.
"You...!" Uncle Liu on the other end of the phone got angry for a moment, then sneered.
"Sorry, Ms. Yang, we divorced a long time ago. I don't even want to explain anything to you—honestly, you have something to do yourself, don't you?"
The veins on Da Mimi's forehead were about to pop out: "I'm not interested in your nonsense! Let me remind you, we have a contract!"
"If you want to have fun, that's fine, but please clean up your own mess! Don't always drag others down!"
"Also! Stop talking to me like a bitch! Go to hell!"
Just as Da Mimi was about to hang up, she heard a sneer from the other end: "I'm going to clean up my own mess? I'm going to drag others down? Fine, then officially announce the divorce. Do you dare?"
Da Mimi choked immediately.
"Don't even mention that this was all just paparazzi taking my words out of context and deliberately framing me. Even if I'm in a relationship, so what? Who says single people can't fall in love?"
"Didn't you also announce it to me right after we broke up?"
"Don't forget, as long as I announced that we were divorced at the beginning of the year, this wasn't a scandal to me! It was just a gossip!"
With a click, Da Mimi's ex-husband hung up the phone.
Da Mimi held the phone for a long time, but didn't say "Okay, let's make it official!"
"Are you okay? Who made our young lady unhappy again?"
A familiar male voice sounded next to her, and Da Mimi knew who it was just by hearing the voice.
Ex-boyfriend, strict.
"Oh, thank you, it's okay." Da Mimi glanced at Yan Yan lightly, with a look of worry on her face.
Do you want to give him a call?
Let him help deal with Zhuo Wei?
No, he definitely won't care about this. He said before that snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways. Photographing celebrities' privacy is the paparazzi's way of survival. If the celebrity's image is broken by the paparazzi, then they should accept the loss.
However, there's nothing wrong with asking for his opinion. He's evil as hell, so he's bound to have a plan.
Speaking of bad, I'm really bad, I just like looking at wedding photos...
Bah. Bah. Bah.
Da Mimi lowered her head in a daze, her fingers repeatedly stroking the frame of the phone.
Seeing Da Mimi's reaction, Yan Yan felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "For so many years, I have always wanted to say sorry to you. At that time..."
Da Mimi waved her hands impatiently: "Old Yan, I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. Let's do it another time, okay?"
Seeing Da Mimi's reaction, Yan Yan was stunned.
The two started dating when filming Immortals III. It has been more than six years since they broke up. There are still many CP fans, but the breakup was a bit embarrassing.
Even when he had to deal with it in front of the camera, he could see the coldness and hatred in the other person's eyes that had not yet been let go.
He has been wanting to ease the relationship with Da Mimi over the years. Even if they can't be lovers, they are in the same circle, so they shouldn't make things too awkward. It's okay to be just ordinary friends, right?
Maybe one day we'll have a sentimental meal and do some business together.
But just now, he didn't see any trace of hatred in the other person's eyes.
The other party looked at him as if he were an ordinary crew member.
Originally, he hoped that the other party would not hate him so much, and at least be an ordinary friend. Now he feels that - it would be better for him to continue to hate me.
Is this completely letting go?
At the beginning of the year, Da Mimi didn't show up at Weibo Night. He initially thought it was just a schedule conflict, but later he heard that she went to get a divorce that day.
That day was the day they broke up, the day Da Mimi announced her new relationship after breaking up with him, and the day she got married.
It seemed like the other party was using this day to vent his anger on him.
At that time, he was still sure that the other party was still resentful towards him.
After that, Da Mimi was busy filming and shooting commercials. He only took about ten days off that year, and the two of them basically never saw each other.
But sometimes he would still check the other person's social media updates. Every time he saw the other person post some special Weibo or Moments, he always felt that the other person was talking about him.
Of course, he also reads the Weibo posts and Moments of his other ex-girlfriends.
Yan Yan looked at Da Mimi with a complicated look, totally confused as to why Da Mimi's attitude towards him had changed so much in less than a year.
It’s not that he wants to get back together with Da Mimi, but he feels that Da Mimi seems to have really moved on, but he still feels a little lost.
Seeing the camera lens of Vogue's official photographer moving over, Da Mimi winked at Yan Yan, then tilted her head and smiled, making a "2" sign to the camera.
Yan Yan didn't react at all, leaving a photo of him with a confused look on his face.
After the photo was released, I wonder how many CP fans will feel "uneasy" about the strict expression in this photo.
Seeing Da Mimi, who was concentrating on fiddling with her phone and sending WeChat messages to someone unknown, Yan Yan suddenly felt his throat tighten: "Mimi, if you have any questions..."
Before she could finish her words, the brightness of Da Mimi's phone screen suddenly increased, and then the phone rang.
"Sorry, Lao Yan, I have to take a call first, talk later~"
Da Mimi's eyes obviously lit up, and her whole face was bright. She waved at Yan Yan who was standing there in a daze, and trotted over to answer the phone with her skirt lifted up.
"No, I..."
Yan Yan stretched out his right hand, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
When she answered the phone, her expression was both expectant and excited, and also a little... shy?
Yan Yan suddenly felt very upset, so he picked up the glass of champagne next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
——
"Can't you two take a break?! I'm busy!"
When Da Mimi heard the sound of Fang Yu attacking with the ball and Scarlett defending with all her might on the other end of the phone, veins popped out on her forehead and she stomped her feet in anger.
In addition to Scarlett, there is obviously another English-speaking defensive player, but I don’t know who he is. He sounds younger and his defensive strength seems to be quite strong.
Bolanik's 12cm high heels stomped on the ground with a clicking sound. Da Mimi was startled and quickly turned sideways, lowered her head and looked at her feet.
Fortunately, the heel of my right high heel was not broken.
There was a hole in the floor from the heel of the shoe.
"It's just a small matter, why rush it?" Fang Yu clearly had no defensive pressure and was calm and composed. "Since the divorce could have been resolved long before the official announcement, then just make the announcement."
Da Mimi sighed. "It's not that simple. The key is the bet and the New Third Board. I know the bet will definitely yield profits, but there's another clause in the agreement: if there are any problems or scandals with my marriage during the agreement period, it will also trigger the repurchase clause..."
"Tsk, buyback? Isn't buyback a good thing right now?"
Fang Yu sneered, but to Da Mimi it was like an epiphany, and she was stunned for a moment.
Yes! Why should I worry about repurchase?
Now that Jiaxing has formed a joint venture with CAA, listing on the New Third Board is inevitable, and its valuation has long exceeded the repurchase price.
Now it’s not a question of whether you force me to buy back the shares, but a question of whether I should force you to sell the shares at the repurchase price!
What were you worried about just now?
No, actually it’s not worry, it’s the panic and anger when facing an unexpected situation.
Why do I seem to have become stupid?
I can handle this problem myself, why should I call him?
Ah, will he think I'm stupid?
"I'll go back and discuss it with the company and make preparations for the official announcement."
Da Mimi breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.
Oh, no, wait, when did he go to Miami?
Weren’t you with Liu Feifei yesterday?
Could it be that Scarlett, the foreign woman, is feeling uncomfortable and has come to Da Zhou?
"Wait a minute, no, I'm not talking about you, no, wait a minute, let me talk to her."
Scarlett took the phone breathlessly.
Da Mimi frowned. What is this foreign woman trying to do? Are we that familiar with each other?
"Hey, honey, listen to me: Don't rush to make an official announcement yet. Don't you think this is a good opportunity to get back custody of our daughter?"
Scarlett's sweet voice came from the phone.
Da Mimi's face turned pale with horror as if struck by lightning.
Yes! Why didn’t I think of that?
It turns out that foreigners have more dirty hearts.
"Scarlett, thank you for the reminder. It helped me a lot."
"By the way, where are you guys? Do you want to have dinner together?"
Da Mimi's IQ came back online, and in a flash, she formulated the subsequent response strategy in her mind, and then spoke tentatively.
Scarlett was clearly beginning to feel the defensive pressure again, and a high-pitched shout came from the phone.
Da Mimi's face darkened: "Have fun, you guys. I'm hanging up first. Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Da Mimi took a deep breath, raised her head again, and her eyes were sharp.
Huh? No, that foreign woman's last sound seemed different from usual. Could it be that...
Da Mimi was just about to make another call to confirm, when she turned her head and saw that there seemed to be some dispute on Liu Feifei's side in the distance.
What's going on? Let's go eat some melon first.
Da Mimi rolled her eyes, picked up her dress, called her assistant, and walked towards Liu Feifei.
——
"I...what happened just now?"
Scarlett trembled all over, feeling the numbness as if an electric current was passing through her body, as if her whole life had been sublimated.
"It's the reward for being a good mother."
Fang Yu patted Scarlett's flushed face.
"Congratulations, you have officially entered the extraordinary realm, Scarlett."
Extraordinary? Scarlett stared at the ceiling, her mind blank.
Ten seconds passed before Scarlett stopped trembling. She put her hands on the bed and tried to get up. She grabbed the sheets out of habit, and with a "swish", she tore five holes in Frette's silver-white satin sheets!
Sydney Sweeney, who had just woken up next to her, looked surprised.
He looked at Fang Yu, then at Scarlett, touched the bed sheet with his hand, and scratched it hard.
Although she didn't know what Fang Yu and Scarlett meant by Zhou Yu, she actually used her hands to tear five holes in such a thick satin sheet!
Could it be that you really are the Black Widow?
Scarlett shook her head in confusion, then she remembered what Fang Yu had just said.
extraordinary?
I am no longer a mortal?
Have I really become Saint Scarlett?
——
Haixi, A-5 computer room of Youzi Technology Data Center.
This is a computer room that does not exist in the planning, approval, or construction drawings of this data center. It is 500 meters underground and has no physical connection with other floors. Even the ventilation ducts and water, electricity, and data pipelines are separate.
Of course, this was also jointly built by Fang Yu, Youzi and those puppet robots equipped with micro tokamaks.
A tokamak with a diameter of two meters continuously transmits electricity here from a depth of 800 meters underground, and the cables used are all made of room-temperature superconductor - "secret silicon".
Thousands of array servers are closely arranged, and each array server contains 32 "Orange Core 25T" chips.
Although the average power consumption of Orange Core 25T is less than 30 watts per chip, the heat generated by so many chips put together is still not to be underestimated. In addition, the temperature 500 meters underground is more than 15 degrees higher than the surface temperature. If it were not for the controlled nuclear fusion tokamak, the daily cost of cooling alone would be a considerable amount.
Various LED signal lights on thousands of array servers kept flashing in the darkness, as if countless data streams were rushing and roaring through them.
The AI puppet, powered by the dual energy sources of micro-tokamak and magic crystal furnace, patrols the site diligently and responsibly, accurately identifying chipsets whose fluctuations exceed the standard deviation and quickly replacing them with spare modules.
Fang Yu's figure slowly emerged from the darkness, holding a pomelo in one hand and snapping his fingers with the other. The nearly 2,000-square-meter computer room instantly became as bright as day.
"Yuzu, based on the current progress, how long will it take for Orange to reach the critical point of ASI?"
Fang Yu walked to the console on the wall and pressed a few buttons. More than a dozen displays on the console lit up at the same time.
"Master, only 300,000 Mix units have been sold so far. The current volume and diversity of data is not sufficient to support the ASI-level awakening path."
“The behavioral patterns captured in Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm are too simplistic and fail to form an effective social cognitive model.”
Yuzi's eyes twinkled. "I can only say this is a feasible path. According to my calculations, there must be at least 100 million Mix users and 50 million heavy users of Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm. Ideally, these users should come from different countries. Only then can we support Orange ASI's first 'awakening'."
"Based on the current progress of rice production, this goal should be achieved within two years."
Yuzu's eyes twinkled briskly, and she was obviously in a good mood.
Within two years?
Fang Yu touched his chin, thoughtfully.
