La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 317

If I say even one more word, the other person might just rush over and snap my neck!

"Principal Wang, you must stand up for me!" Wang Feng pleaded pitifully in a low voice, slumped over the table.

"I bought a watch last year!" Principal Chuang roared, kicking Wang Feng aside. He then yelled at his secretary, "Quickly, find all the people in charge of Qianda Cinemas! I'm going to bankrupt Xiangjiang Film Company within two days!"

Chapter 223 Yida Cinema!

Meanwhile, Ma Yunteng had already left the bar with Shen Mange.

Ma Yunteng took a taxi to send Shen Mange home. Shen Mange held the dual contract that Ma Yunteng had taken back, but she looked at a loss, as if she had something on her mind.

“You’ve offended Principal Chen today, and you’ll definitely face retaliation later. You’d better leave H City as soon as possible,” Shen Mange said worriedly, raising her head.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just looking forward to teaching him a lesson!" Ma Yunteng laughed and said.

"You're lecturing him... because you don't know how rich he is!" Shen Mange said speechlessly.

"That's because you don't know how rich I am..." Ma Yunteng rubbed his nose and chuckled.

"You... sigh, never mind, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Anyway, be careful, I don't want to cause you any trouble because of me." Shen Mange rolled her eyes at him. She felt that she couldn't understand Ma Yunteng anymore. He actually wanted to challenge Principal Chuang.

People of that caliber are incredibly influential in the entertainment industry.

To be honest, she was very worried about Ma Yunteng.

"Yes! Thank you for your concern, dear!" Ma Yunteng laughed heartily.

"Who's your darling? I already said it was all an act!" Shen Mange said shyly, but when she heard Ma Yunteng call her darling, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She blushed and scolded herself for being shameless. He was just acting, but she actually took it seriously.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood'?" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly. In fact, he quite admired Shen Mange's beauty. Shen Mange possessed two completely different kinds of beauty, Li Xiyue and Lin Shike.

She is pure and virtuous, dignified yet charming.

"Tch, you'd better get past Principal Bed before you start talking about love with me!"

Shen Mange rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Based on what people in the industry know about Principal Bed, he never suffers a loss for nothing. Today you injured his subordinate, causing him to lose face in front of everyone. I think his revenge will come soon. You should think about how to deal with it first!"

During the conversation, the taxi arrived at Shen Mange's residence.

Ma Yunteng casually pulled a banknote from his pocket and handed it to the driver, telling him to keep the change.

As the driver watched the two get out of the car, he couldn't help but sigh: "Young people these days are really something else. They actually said that Principal Bed is going to make trouble for them... If Principal Bed is going to make trouble for you, then isn't that the same as you being dead?"

"I'm going in!" Shen Mange said with a slight smile to Ma Yunteng.

"Okay! Don't forget to go to work tomorrow! Remember, you're now the boss of Hong Kong Film Company!" Hong Kong Film Company just called her; they'll be having a grand welcome ceremony for Shen Mange tomorrow.

"Would you like to come up for some tea?" Shen Mange asked with a sweet smile.

"Forget about tea! Don't think I don't understand the tricks of you beauties. After you let me in, you'll go take a shower, and while you're showering, you'll say you forgot your clothes, and then ask me to bring you some, taking the opportunity to sexually harass me. Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of person. You've misjudged me!" Ma Yunteng said with a smile.

"Dream on!" Shen Mange gave him a speechless look. "I'm going back now. Be careful!"

Ma Yunteng watched Shen Mange enter the apartment, and did not linger there.

The reason Ma Yunteng decided to give Xiangjiang Film Company to Shen Mange was because he felt that Shen Mange was familiar with the entertainment industry and had certain connections in this field. With her introduction, he could enter the film industry more quickly. Not to mention, Ma Yunteng also really liked Shen Mange, although he didn't really know why.

Perhaps it's because they see the shadows of both Li Xiyue and Lin Shike in Shen Mange.

After leaving the area, Ma Yunteng took a taxi directly to Calorie Internet Cafe, the largest internet cafe in downtown H City.

It can be said that Calorie Internet Cafes have now spread to major cities in China, and Calorie Internet Cafes in H City are also quite large.

When Ma Yunteng arrived at the internet cafe, Zhao Peng and other executives from Calorie also rushed over from Jiangnan City. Everyone was curious as to why Ma Yunteng suddenly asked them to come.

According to Zhao Peng, the boss is preparing to enter the film industry because Ma Yunteng has already instructed Zhao Peng to directly acquire Xiangjiang Film Company in H City.

Meanwhile, inside the bar.

Principal Chuang chose a bar as the venue for the meeting because he was already drunk and his eyes were bloodshot. Thinking about how Ma Yunteng had been so smug in front of him, Principal Chuang got angry and drank a lot of alcohol.

"Principal, are you alright? Should I take a few brothers over there and give him a good beating?" One of Principal's trusted bodyguards made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Are you fucking stupid?"

Principal Chen let out a burp, glanced at the various business owners who had come to the meeting with a smirk, and said, "China is a society governed by law. Can't you guys use your brains? Do you have to resort to violence for everything? Remember me! If something can be solved with money, never resort to violence!"

"So, what do you mean, Principal?" a business owner asked.

"Heh, this time he actually dared to mess with me, so I'll really give him a go!" Principal Chuang lit a cigar, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Damn it, he actually dared to say he's rich in front of me! This time I'll make him realize what real wealth is! Didn't this kid acquire Xiangjiang Film Company today? You guys listen up! Starting today, for the next week, all Qianda Cinemas in H City will offer customers a 20% discount!"

20% off?

Everyone was taken aback. One of the shop owners asked in astonishment, "Principal, if we offer a 20% discount, that will be a huge loss. And once those movies are released, we'll have to pay the copyright holders a lot of money... In that case, we're making a loss!"

The owner is right. In fact, the main source of income for a cinema is movie ticket prices. Of all the box office revenue, 90% must be paid to the copyright holder, and the cinema only gets 10% of the difference. This 10% difference is then used for various aspects of the cinema's construction and other purposes.

In other words, implementing a 20% discount means losing money. And if all the major box office venues are sold out, the losses will be astronomical!

"What's there to be cowardly about? It's just money, right? I'll pay for it! Our Qianda Cinema already has top-notch facilities, and with the 20% discount, customers will definitely choose to watch movies at Qianda Cinema. As for Xiangjiang Cinema! Screw it, I'm going to bankrupt them within a week! Going against me? Hmph! Just you wait, this is only the beginning!"

Here, at the headquarters of Calorie Internet Cafe in H City.
