Long Cheng, furious, put his hands on his hips and said, "Yu Xiangwen, you're just spoiling her! The day she gambles away all our underwear, let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that Long Cheng really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics. It was clearly a business matter, but he had to make it sound like something else entirely.
Yu Xiangwen asked sincerely, "Longcheng, do you really not want to see 'Jurassic Resurrection'? Actually, I'm quite curious. Imagine how good this movie would be if we built a real dinosaur set and then used special effects! If we handle the promotion in Hong Kong, we can at least make tens of millions at the box office. If it can successfully enter the mainland and several Southeast Asian countries... at least it won't lose too much money! If it can be released globally, then the box office will be guaranteed."
It's not that Longcheng doesn't want to watch; Longcheng is actually a childish guy who still retains the interests and hobbies from his childhood, especially his love for dinosaurs and cars.
The problem is, Longcheng doesn't want to spend that much money!
"Alright, let nature take its course! Just let her do what she wants. She has all the money in her hands. She's made so much money in the South China Sea, hundreds of millions, even billions, it's no big deal for her. What's wrong with spending a few hundred million?" Yu Xiangwen put his arm around Long Cheng's shoulder, telling him to take it easy.
"Let go! Only by letting go can you find true happiness!" Chu Yu grinned and chuckled to himself.
Long Cheng was even angrier, feeling that kidnapping Zhong Buyi was a mistake. He hadn't controlled Hualai Film Company at all; he had been tricked and kidnapped by Zhou Chuyu!
Since they both agreed, Chu Yu didn't say anything else. Chu Yu also inquired with other investment companies to see if anyone was willing to cooperate on the project. However, the other companies shared similar views with Long Cheng, not being optimistic about such a large-scale production and preferring to prioritize stability.
Chu Yu didn't insist.
Now that she has money, she's willing to take risks and do things she's never done before. So what if she invests hundreds of millions, or even billions?
It's not like we can't earn it back.
As long as the game of musical chairs continues in the South China Sea, Chu Yu can make a fortune!
She wasn't afraid to invest in Hualai.
After deciding to film "Jurassic Resurrection," Zhong Buyi went to Hollywood to learn more. Because he had bought the IP of this movie, several Hollywood film companies were interested in cooperating with Hualai. They had previously had some exchanges regarding Lao Qi's film copyright.
However, they were unsure whether Hua Lai could make a good film, and even though they talked about collaborating, they were still somewhat hesitant.
Fortunately, Chu Yu had plenty of funds and didn't care about them at all.
Take it or leave it! She's rich; a few hundred million is nothing to her!
After arranging Hua Lai's work, Chu Yu returned to Beijing. As soon as she arrived, she heard the news that the team was going to allocate houses.
Sister-in-law Yu came over specifically to tell Chu Yu that the house had actually been under construction for quite some time and was now topped out and simply decorated. The team's collectively built houses were allocated according to rank, and Sister-in-law Yu's husband was a high-ranking leader, so the area they were allocated to was not the same as Chu Yu's.
But Sister-in-law Yu also had her own worries. Her husband drew a low number in the lottery, and it was uncertain when they would be allocated a house. Even if they were allocated one, it would only be a small house.
“My family has many children, and our small house of a few dozen square meters is simply not enough for us.” Aunt Yu was extremely worried and wanted to lower her standards and choose a house in the same area as Dai Donglin.
According to the standards of the team these days, higher-ranking officers can choose houses for lower-ranking officers, but the reverse is not possible. It is simply a pipe dream for lower-ranking officers to want to choose houses in higher-ranking areas and live with the leaders.
If Sister Yu came to a lower-level area, she would be able to easily find a good house. However, the team has its own standards. If Sister Yu wants to come, she needs to have the right to choose and she has to pay the difference in price per square meter.
The price of the collectively built housing in the team is far lower than the market price. Nowadays, the housing price in Beijing is less than 2,000 yuan, while the price of collectively built housing is only 200-300 yuan or even lower.
This price is incredibly cheap; even if the price difference is subsidized, Sister Yu would still be willing to pay it.
But this can only happen if someone is willing to trade with her; someone has to be willing to give up this big house so that the two families can exchange houses for it to succeed.
Sister Yu didn't actually want to talk to Chu Yu; she just had no one to confide in. Choosing a house was a competitive process, and many people in the team were openly or secretly undermining each other, afraid that they wouldn't choose as well as others.
The people Sister Yu usually gets along with don't tell her the truth, so she doesn't know who else to talk to. She wanted to talk to Chu Yu, but Chu Yu was away for half a month. Sister Yu was feeling restless, so when she saw Chu Yu come back, she pulled her aside and talked to her about a bunch of random things.
Chu Yu was unaware of the housing allocation process until he asked Dai Donglin that evening, and learned that the lottery had indeed concluded.
"Don't worry, I'm lucky. I'm in the front row, so we're going to get a good set."
Chu Yu told Dai Donglin about Sister Yu's situation. Dai Donglin glanced at her and said, "Don't tell me you want to give up our spot to her? You'd better think about leaving. You were originally entitled to live in a big house, but if you give it to her, you'll only be able to live in a small house."
Chu Yu isn't a saint; she just has many houses and doesn't care about this small amount of space. If they were to exchange with Sister Yu, they would lose twenty or thirty square meters, which wouldn't really matter to them. But it's different for Sister Yu's family, who has twenty or thirty square meters more.
His family has too many children. All five children are grown up, and each of them needs a room. Even if they could live together, it's not easy for a family of seven.
"Fine, let them have it. I really don't care if it's a little bigger or smaller!"
Dai Donglin laughed, "Wife, you're really generous! People are scrambling to get their hands on this, and you say it doesn't matter."
However, Dai Donglin was quite wealthy and didn't care about the team's possessions.
Chu Yu agreed to switch with Sister Yu, and Dai Donglin didn't object either. The old leader asked around the compound, but no one was willing to switch with them. This was inevitable; who would want to suffer such a loss!
