Section 273
"Lin Bin, 100 billion is 100 billion, we're betting with you!"
Song Xinghui was so arrogant that he forgot about apologizing to Lin Bin in person in the office of Longhai Building.
Lin Bin had just changed Song Xinghui's name to Song Cai Tongzi last time, and now it seems that he is worthy of the name.
He looked at the four people in front of him and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you have a deal, I'll be there anytime."
Sure enough, as Lin Bin expected, these four guys together couldn't make up 100 billion.
Song Xinghui and Wang Xingsi, this time they bet on their stars, but the number of people has become 30. The two companies together have a total of 60 people, and the price is 60 billion.
To be honest, this price is a bit outrageous.
Stars are also worth money. Xingchen Records and Warner Pictures, except for a few popular pillars who are worth some money, other stars are not worth that much.
Song Xinghui and Wang Xingsi were still worried that Lin Bin would bargain, but fortunately, Lin Bin didn't care and agreed at once.
If he really won this time, he would poach 30 stars from each of these two companies. Even if Xingchen Records and Warner were big and powerful, they would probably have nothing left in the end.
Gu Mingda took out 25% of Huatian Industrial's shares and priced them at 25 billion, which was very fair.
However, the other party didn't want to gamble, but insisted on 25% of TT Group's shares, so Lin Bin agreed at once.
In the end, Tang Yue, who had nothing to pledge, bet 15 billion.
The four people together had exactly 100 billion.
Lin Bin pledged 25% of TT Group's shares, and then took out 75 billion in cash, and completely emptied the account balance.
If he lost this time, he would really be penniless.
Tang Yue and others were shocked to see Lin Bin really take out 75 billion in cash.
However, after the shock, there was more ecstasy and excitement.
Anyway, they are sure to win this time. This huge sum of money is simply picked up for nothing.
Moreover, no matter how rich Lin Bin is, he will be angry to death if he loses so much at once, right?
Wang Xingsi had already prepared the gambling agreement. After Zhou Manqing took it, the three of them carefully looked at the terms and conditions. There was no big problem.
However, according to the gambling agreement, both parties' movies must be released on June 30, which is only more than two months away.
The special effects of "Earth Explosion" have not been completed yet. Although it can be caught up, the time is a bit too tight.
Xia Mo didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she nodded to Lin Bin, indicating that it was okay.
Since everyone agreed to the gambling, Lin Bin didn't talk nonsense anymore and signed the gambling agreement on the spot, and then exchanged two copies between the two parties.
After the agreement was signed, Song Xinghui looked at the things in his hand and became even more arrogant, "Haha, Lin Bin, you are sure to lose this time!
But don't worry, even if we are enemies, after bankruptcy, we can help you support the women around you."
The four of them not only discussed how to deal with Lin Bin yesterday, but also discussed how to divide the profits after the success.
In addition to money, there are also beauties in Lin Bin's company, which they are not going to let go.
Song Xinghui specifically asked for Mu Wenjun, Wang Xingsi asked for Xia Mo, Gu Mingda came for Liu Yurong, and Tang Yue finally took a fancy to Zhou Manqing, who managed the entire TT.
"You...shameless!"
Zhou Manqing was gnashed her teeth by Song Xinghui.
"Forget it, Manqing, don't bother with them." Lin Bin reached out to stop Zhou Manqing, then smiled at Tang Yue and the other three, and said meaningfully: "Let's wait and see."
"Okay, let's wait and see!"
Tang Yue and the other four left triumphantly with the gambling agreement.
Looking at the backs of the few people leaving, Zhou Manqing still felt a little uneasy, "Abin, since they are so proactive and look very confident, I'm afraid things are not that simple."
Lin Bin looked down on them, "Tsk! They are just a few tricks. Manqing, don't worry, we will fight back."
Although he said it lightly, Lin Bin did not dare to be careless, and immediately asked Xia Mo to prepare for the film's publicity and promotion in person to ensure that it can be released on time.
Chapter 345: Nobles all around
Xia Mo started to prepare for the follow-up work of the movie, and Tang Yue and the others were not idle. After signing the gambling agreement, Wang Xingsi immediately notified Warner and began to prepare for the promotion of the movie.
The next day, "Star Trek" held a movie press conference, and all the main creative teams were present, including many popular movie kings and queens.
Then, as the movie trailer was released online, it immediately attracted hot comments from countless netizens.
It has to be said that Warner really put in a lot of effort this time. Not only did it cost nearly 1 billion, but it was also carefully polished from the script to the actors.
Just one day after the movie trailer was released, the number of online broadcasts exceeded 5 million times, and more than 300,000 people expressed their anticipation for the release of the movie.
After the press conference, Warner Pictures began to promote it crazily on major websites and platforms.
Even the leading actors of "Star Trek" began to appear on the hottest variety shows one after another, continuing to increase the popularity of the movie.
Longhai Building.
In the office, Zhou Manqing was worried.
Her usual work focus is on TT Group. She is mainly responsible for software development and promotion. As for the specific affairs of the entertainment company, Xia Mo is in charge of them all.
But now, after signing the bet at that price, Zhou Manqing paid more attention to the release of the movie.
Warner's series of promotional methods made her immediately realize that Wang Xingsi and others must have made preparations before the bet, that's why they moved so quickly.
"Abin, Warner has started vigorously promoting it, but our movie hasn't been completed yet. What should we do?"
"Okay Manqing, don't worry. Lao Xia is already speeding up the progress and the movie will be produced in a dozen days."
Lin Bin is also a little helpless. The production of "The Big Bang Earth" has not been completed yet, and there is not even a trailer. He can't do anything to promote it vigorously.
However, he wasn't too worried.
After all, there are still more than two months until the film is released, so even if Wang Xingsi and the others are allowed to dance around for a while, it won't hurt.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was more than ten days.
While Warner Bros. was promoting "Star Trek" in full swing, Xia Mo worked overtime and finally completed the production of "The Big Bang Earth".
After the finished film came out, Xia Mo immediately arranged for it to be submitted for review.
Under normal circumstances, the process would be completed in three to five days, but this time, she waited for a full week and still had not received the result.
At first, Xia Mo didn't pay attention, but there was no result, so she immediately became vigilant.
After several inquiries, he suddenly became furious.
"Fuck! Someone is deliberately delaying our time."
In the office of Longhai Building, Zhou Manqing and Lin Bin both received calls from Xia Mo. After learning the news, the three of them met immediately.
"Could it be Tang Yue and the others who did it?" Zhou Manqing asked immediately.
"There's no need to think about it. It must be this little kid." Lin Bin's face didn't look very good. He turned to Xia Mo and asked, "Old Xia, how did you do this? You can't even go to trial?"
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, can you blame me for this? When the movie was filed, nothing happened. Now it's not because of the bet that someone cheated me."
"What should we do? If it can't be released by then, aren't we doomed?" Zhou Manqing frowned. She didn't know much about the film industry and didn't know anyone, so there was nothing she could do.
"That's not the case!" Xia Mo shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with our movie, and it will definitely pass the review in the end. The most they can do is delay, and they want to delay our publicity work."
Lin Bin frowned and instantly understood what Xia Mo meant.
Warner's movies began to be vigorously promoted across the country from the day after the betting agreement was signed, and now the popularity is getting higher and higher.
"The Big Bang Earth" was originally delayed for half a month due to production reasons. Fortunately, Xia Mo had already made a publicity plan in advance. After it was reviewed, he would start publicity immediately and try his best to catch up with the popularity of "Star Trek" as quickly as possible.
But now with such a delay, there really isn't much time left.
Lin Bin: "Okay, everyone, don't worry. Lao Xia, please think of a way first to get our movie approved as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how much money you spend."
Xia Mo nodded, "I know."
After saying that, she left the office and went to think of a solution again.
Lin Bin and Zhou Manqing were unable to help with this matter and could only wait quietly for news about Xia Mo.
Jiangcheng, inside a certain hotel.
Yunlu had been busy all day and was planning to have a meal and then go back to rest, but she received an invitation from Xue Yi and they had a meal together in the evening.
Last time, Xue Yi and Yun Lu almost broke off the friendship between best friends because of the land incident, but fortunately, everyone was happy in the end, and with Lin Bin's persuasion, the two of them returned to their old ways.
Knowing that Yun Lu was busy with matters in the bonded zone recently, Xue Yi asked casually: "Sister Yun, are the projects in the bonded zone going well recently?"
Yunlu smiled lightly, "It went very smoothly, thanks to Abin this time."
Hearing Lin Bin's name, Xue Yi hesitated and asked, "Sister Yun, do you... also like Brother Bing?"
Yunlu was stunned and stared at Xue Yi looking up and down.
Xue Yi felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at her, her cheeks were slightly hot, "What are you looking at me for?"
This little girl must like Lin Bin.
Yunlu felt a little uncomfortable, "Xiaoyi, do you like Lin Bin?"
Being exposed in person, Xue Yi's pretty face immediately turned red, "Oh, what are you talking about? I was the one who asked you first."
The picture of a kitten fishing immediately appeared in Yunlu's mind, and then she felt a little hot all over.
"Xiao Yi, that guy Lin Bin is very carefree, don't let him fool you."
"Sister Yun, you don't understand Brother Bing. He is a good person. Besides, it's normal for men to be carefree." Xue Yi defended.
Yunlu rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Although she felt comfortable being with Lin Bin, she didn't think that Lin Bin was a good candidate for marriage.
"Do you really like Lin Bin?"
"What's the point of liking me? Brother Bing doesn't like me."
A trace of sadness appeared on Xue Yi's face.
Seeing her "poisoned" look, Yunlu knew that she wouldn't listen to anything he said, so she simply stopped trying to persuade her.
After dinner, Xue Yi proposed to watch a movie together, but Yun Lu refused.
"If there's anything interesting about the movie, I'll go back and rest first."
