Chapter 98 Downfall

101, Downfall

The next morning, Tang Wen washed up with Zhang Yuxi, and then left with JA. After all, Tang Wen has not officially taken a concubine yet, so the impact is not very good.

Xiao Wang finally couldn't let go of his pride, and asked Tang Wen to raise 30 million US dollars. Qin Feng gave 5 million US dollars, and then he sold a few cars and an apartment to raise 50 million US dollars.

There is no way, who made him brag so much, he has to carry it himself even if he kneels down.

"Thank you, Old Tang, I will wait for you at noon at Tan's house." Xiao Wang called to thank him.

"Li's house? Principal, you are not right." Tang Wen laughed.

"Come on, Old Tang, you have screwed me this time. If I had known that Huaying was so serious, I would not be stupid. 50 million US dollars, hey, I will have to eat dirt for the next six months." Xiao Wang said helplessly.

Although he knew that the movie would "definitely" make money, the cycle was too long, and the nearly 400 million yuan in funding had hit the bottom of his startup funds.

If it weren't for the TAXX nightclub that was constantly recovering, he would have been unable to hold on and asked his family for money. As for why he didn't sell the shares of WF Group? Just kidding, how could a goose that lays golden eggs be sold?

At noon, Tang Wen and his bodyguards came to the legendary Tanjiacai in a Rolls-Royce provided by Wanda Group.

Tanjiacai was originally a family banquet of Tan Zongjun in the late Qing Dynasty. Now it has been 12 years and its "reputation" is still good. Anyway, it was Xiao Wang who treated him, and Tang Wen was also happy to follow and learn more.

"Hey, it's rare for Old Tang. What's the matter? Why don't you bring your girlfriend out to see?" Xiao Wang joked when he saw Tang Wen getting off the car at the door.

"Hey, there are too many to bring."

"Fuck, you're going to room number one." Xiao Wang couldn't help but accept Tang Wen's shamelessness.

After following Xiao Wang to the private room, Tang Wen found that the decoration here was a bit out of place. On the one hand, it was in the style of the Republic of China, and on the other hand, there were luxurious Western furniture.

"Are you not used to it? Haha, people call it a combination of Chinese and Western." Xiao Wang explained to Tang Wen who was stunned.

Wang Binghe, the inheritor of Tan's cuisine, has a famous saying: "Tan's cuisine does not know how to cook." It is true. Tan's cuisine is a family dish that emphasizes slow cooking. It is not like the dishes in ordinary restaurants, which are mostly cooked quickly due to business needs.

Xiao Wang put a lot of effort in this dinner.

First, there are six exquisite cold dishes: barbecued pork, braised duck liver, garlic scallops, five-spice fish, soft fried chicken, and grilled sausages.

Then there is braised yellow shark fin: the world's top shark fin, the Philippines' Luzon yellow, is used, and the whole wing is braised. It is rich, fresh, golden, shiny, soft, glutinous and smooth.

Appetizer: Blood bird's nest stewed in clear soup: Made from the world's top bird's nest, Southeast Asia's Siamese blood bird's nest, the soup is clear, thick, fresh and mellow.

Braised big net abalone: ​​Made from neon national net abalone, cooked over a daytime fire, thick and juicy, salty and delicious.

Appetizer: Made from the top hericium in Daxing'anling County, selected rapeseed tender core, delicious and refreshing.

One palm decides the outcome: Made from the left front paw of a black bear in Changbai Mountain County, thick and delicious, soft, glutinous and smooth, mellow and fragrant.

Flying dragon breast with black pepper and black bean sauce: Made from the eight-year-old wild flying dragon breast muscle in Daxing'anling County, with a strong black bean flavor and delicious meat flavor.

Fish lips and braised snoring nose: Made from shark lips in the deep sea of ​​the South China Sea in China and the nose and palate of a rare deer in the deep mountains of HLJ County. Moderately salty and sweet, soft, glutinous and smooth.

Wulong Opera Pearl: Made with sea cucumber from the deep sea of ​​Xisha Islands in the South China Sea and top-quality pigeon eggs. Salty, fragrant, glutinous, smooth, thick and delicious.

Soaked Sumei in Thick Soup: Made with the best Hainan County Sumei and the secret recipe of Tan's thick soup, it is thick and delicious.

Dessert Jujube and Walnut Curd: Made with peeled and pitted golden jujube and peeled walnut kernels, ground into paste, sweet and delicious.

Finally, Meidian Yingshuanghui: Tan's classic pastry.

"You call this eating casually?" Tang Wen was stunned as he looked at the table full of food.

"I'm inviting you to dinner, how can it be casual? I ordered a portion of all the signature dishes of the Tan family." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

Only then did Tang Wen realize that he was really a bumpkin. Except for bear paws and abalone, he didn't know much about other ingredients. This is the heritage of the rich.

Although Tang Wen is rich, he is not as particular about food as others.

No wonder Xiao Wang dared to curse those pretending to be celebrities online before, it turns out that she is so confident.

"Sister Qin Lan, Sister Gan Jing, you must help me this time." Just as Tang Wen and Xiao Wang were bragging, a woman's voice came from the private room next door.

Tang Wen felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Xiao Wang thought for a while and covered his mouth and smiled: "Your enemy is here."

"Enemy? Have I ever offended a woman?" Tang Wen wondered.

"No? Think about it carefully." Xiao Wang pretended to be mysterious.

"I really can't remember it." Tang Wen shook his head.

"I'll give you a hint, Dali Group." Xiao Wang smiled narrowly.

"Dali Group? Huang Yi? She has nothing to do with me." Tang Wen was speechless.

"Why is it irrelevant? You bankrupted Dali Group. Her company was also implicated and is now on the blacklist."

"Blacklist? What? Isn't that superstar company her own? How is it related to Dali Group again?" Tang Wen was puzzled.

"What else can she do? Her superstar company is under the Dali Group. Dali Group has drawn 200 million yuan of loan funds from her company to fill the loopholes. As the legal person of the company, she was naturally included in the execution list." Xiao Wang explained.

"200 million yuan?" Tang Wen was curious whether a film and television company could borrow so much money?

"You underestimate film and television companies. They usually bet with the sponsors. If a movie can reach a certain box office and bring a certain amount of income to the sponsors, then the sponsors will help them raise the stock price, and they will appropriately reduce their holdings. This is the most common way to avoid taxes in the entertainment industry." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"Oh? It means that they sign a bet agreement with the sponsors. If they make a profit, the sponsors will let them make some money. If they fail, they have to help the sponsors make a few more movies, right?" Tang Wen said after thinking for a moment.

"That's the trick. The entertainment industry is heavily taxed now. If they sign a contract, they will be taxed about 70% for a movie. It's more cost-effective for top stars to start a company to avoid taxes." Xiao Wang explained.

Tang Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"These sponsors are really brave to invest. 200 million is your father's two small goals. They just give it to him?"

Xiao Wang said angrily: "You don't understand this, Old Tang. What they want to be stars is traffic and topics, and what sponsors look at is profit. Now as long as there is traffic and popularity, it can be realized. Otherwise, do you think sponsors are stupid?"

Tang Wen still agrees with Xiao Wang's concept.

Today's entertainment industry is all about traffic realization. A star with traffic has no worries that his sponsor will not make money, so sponsors are willing to invest in stars, and the so-called sky-high endorsements are also like this.

"So you mean she is miserable now?" Tang Wen smiled.

"That's right, she is restricted from spending. I guess she came here secretly because someone else treated her. This silly woman didn't get anything, and now she is in debt of 200 million."

Xiao Wang paused and continued, "And now celebrities with bad records are not allowed to appear in the public eye or participate in some activities, except for unknown small shopping malls and bars that occasionally invite such people to walk the runway. They are basically isolated from the entertainment industry."

"What? Do you want to help?" Xiao Wang, who stopped, suddenly asked.

"Are you kidding? She is worth 200 million?" Tang Wen scolded angrily.

"Tsk tsk, that's true. The sponsor is not a fool. Anyone who relies on her will be unlucky now. People would rather stay away from her."

In the private room next door, after Huang Yi explained her purpose, Qin Lan and Gan Jing both "euphemistically" expressed that they could not help. Huang Yi is now like a rat crossing the street. Everyone stays away from her.

Gan Jing met her today because of Boss Jia. But the matter she got involved in this time was too big, even Boss Jia couldn't throw 200 million into the water.

Huang Yi was very angry. She thought she could sit back and relax as a rich wife. Before she could be happy for a few days, the giant Dali Group was collapsed.

And she was dragged into the ditch with her. Yang Dali's ex-girlfriend, who had been humble to her some time ago, was thinking of ways to provoke her all day after seeing her in trouble.

Who made her do too much at the beginning? Not only did she stop people outside the press conference on the day. She also said in front of so many reporters that she was the third party. Now retribution has come.

When she came out of Gan Jing's box in a daze, she happened to meet Xiao Wang, who was arm in arm with Tang Wen.

Huang Yi didn't know Tang Wen, but she knew Xiao Wang. There was only one person who could be so arm in arm with Xiao Wang. The answer was obvious, that was the "mysterious brother-in-law" who brought down Dali Group.

Although she was full of anger, she didn't dare to get angry. You should know that the current valuation of WF Group of 28 billion US dollars can make many people despair.

Not to mention the other assets of this "mysterious brother-in-law".

When Tang Wen and Xiao Wang walked towards the door, Huang Yi followed them for some reason. She didn't know why she did this, but a voice in her heart told her that if she didn't follow, her life would be over.

"Do you have any plans tonight?" Xiao Wang asked with a burp.

"Nothing, what's the matter? Do you have any plans?" Tang Wen asked back.

"Nothing, recently I discussed with Lao Qin whether we can open a branch of our TAXX in Kyoto?"

"Oh, are you rich? When will you pay me back?" Tang Wen said jokingly.

"Get lost, I'm so poor that I have to pawn my pants now. TAXX already has more than 30 million on its books. What Qin Feng and I mean is to open a branch in Gongti?"

"Okay, you are experts in this area, just find me if you need money." Tang Wen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll call you when the store opens." Xiao Wang said excitedly.

After a few pleasantries, Tang Wen finished his meal and wanted to digest it. So he walked towards the park next to him. Huang Yi saw the opportunity and accelerated to catch up.

After arriving at the park, Tang Wen was a little urgent to pee, so he found a public place next to him to relieve himself. JA and several bodyguards at the door were responsible for watching the gate.

Huang Yi looked at the door with a complicated expression, then gritted his teeth and followed Tang Wen in.

JA watched a woman follow the boss into the WC, closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
