Capítulo 873: Chapter 376: Sleepless Night (Part 2)
He had already learned this from his own father. Even though Madison has at least billions in wealth, none of that money is ant for his children. Asking him to invest one hundred million is already quite reluctant.
“Mr. Jin, I toast to you. I assure you, our eSports club and film platform are flourishing. A short-term investnt will definitely not incur any losses. The current profit cycle of short video investnt is also very short. As long as we find professional directors and scriptwriters for filming, we can quickly get returns. With traffic and advertisers, there’s money to be made! We are already planning to hire Amber Heard to play the female lead.” Smith said excitedly.
“Amber Heard?” Allen Zhang was a bit surprised.
“Yes, the crazy beauty who split up with Depp through a lawsuit and once blad her poop on a teacup poodle, Musk’s unforgettable ex-girlfriend, who frequently made Musk cry from dostic violence.”
Bailey chid in while peeling an orange and chewing on it, unable to help but comnt, “Hasn’t she retired from acting?”
“She hasn’t retired; it’s just that nobody wants to hire her for movies anymore.” Smith, who was also well-inford about the gossip, chuckled and said, “Would you cast an actress who poops on a bed and blas it on a teacup poodle as the leading lady in a big movie? No matter how pretty she is, even if you want to cast her, would investors be willing to take the risk and put money into it? Would audiences buy it?”
“I can’t say I agree, but this peculiar, abnormal crazy beauty is indeed a rarity in the world.” Allen Zhang was speechless and looked at Smith, “Are you sure she’ll co and act in your short dramas? Since you could get Amber Heard, why not go for Scarlett Johansson? At least the latter also has no films to shoot but has a much better reputation, and there’s even a Black superstar waiting in line to drink her bathwater.”
“Tapping into the Black Widow’s traffic code should draw more attention; it should be steadier than the Aquaman role, right?”
“As far as I know, after losing the lawsuit, Amber Heard’s lavish spending has led to significant financial tension. Even though her ex-boyfriend is Musk, who would provide resources with a few sweet words, she isn’t that kind of person. Precisely because she’s a bit neurotic, she managed to wreck her social network. If it were for money, she surely wouldn’t have broken up with Musk, but she’s just that special… the kind who does whatever she wants as long as she feels good.”
Smith found it a bit challenging to explain.
“But as long as you’re willing to pay, you can certainly hire her to act. After all, she can’t survive in Hollywood anymore.”
Smith continued eloquently, “Though Scarlett Johansson is also aging with declining popularity, she still has second-rate directors and bad films willing to invite her. She’s not that short of money, and to maintain her rank in Hollywood, she might not be willing to partake in short video shoots, which could affect her inco. Amber Heard is different.”
“I see.” Allen Zhang nodded. He really didn’t know much about the industry, only surface-level news reports.
Subsequently, they delved into discussions about the eSports club and other matters, but given the General Sect Leader’s limited knowledge and below-average canyon Gold level awareness, the conversation remained superficial.
Smith also knew that the General Sect Leader is a billionaire, typically not interested in activities more engaging to eSports youth, so he mainly ntioned their club’s upcoming recruitnt of new star players to form a cosmic ensemble to gather more popularity and sell more tickets!
As for the results, they were left to fate.
Their club only cared whether they could make money across various gaming activities, and if winning places could earn more money, they would certainly make so adjustnts, because positions could be traded!
Who wouldn’t know about match-fixing, placing bets, and maximizing benefits? That’s profitable!
“Nowadays, the most profitable sport is football. An eSports club pales in comparison to this market, but we too can utilize resources to expand and siphon profits.” Smith spoke with ambition, painting a grand picture for the General Sect Leader.
The General Sect Leader, experiencing being pitched to for the first ti, didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he just nodded, “Ok, then go talk to my assistant.”
He turned his attention back to chatting with Madison.
Smith didn’t give up, leaving his daughter to accompany the elders while he and his wife departed, as securing investnt from the General Sect Leader was almost guaranteed. The matter was just about how much more he could negotiate.
Quickly, the night fell.
Madison began organizing the staff and waitresses on the island to prepare a bonfire banquet. As private planes arrived one after another, the island beca bustling with activity. Attendees were all old friends from Madison’s social circle, and even the General Sect Leader t so familiar acquaintances.
Morry, a board mber of Miracle Pharmaceutical Company, greeted the General Sect Leader with good news, “Mr. Jin, we have registered patents for the Twilight drug, passed the drug administration inspection, initiated the pharmaceutical factory’s production line, and started periodic operations to manufacture the drug. We’ve also contacted several psychiatric hospitals in California and drugstores to promote this product. We believe our dication will soon be mass-produced and launched in various places, welcoming the first wave of consur feedback!”
“This indeed is good news.” Allen Zhang was pleased, taking a glass from a tray held by a nearby waiter and clinking it in celebration, “Let’s celebrate the booming sales of our drug and a prosperous future.”
“But I hope in the future, in the United States and even worldwide, there won’t be a need for this dication.” Morry, feeling confident as a capitalist, uncharacteristically said sothing human.
Allen Zhang deeply agreed, even knowing his words might be inconsequential, “Then let’s toast to the quick demise of those drug trafficking groups and drug lords! Cheers!!”
“Cheers!!” Morry laughed heartily, clinking glasses and drinking.
Many socialites and distinguished won previously acquainted with the General Sect Leader approached to greet him, and Allen Zhang reciprocated their friendliness with smiles and conversations.
Even when faced with their overly friendly gestures, with literal chest-bumping, the General Sect Leader remained calm and composed. That’s the allure of a mature and experienced man who has weathered many storms!
After downing more than a dozen glasses of champagne and red wine, the General Sect Leader eventually felt mildly tipsy.
So, under the invitation of several stunning won, he found himself uncontrollably heading with them into an adjoining private room.
With pink bedsheets, gauze curtains, and sandwiched between several familiar faces and vaguely recognized newcors, Allen Zhang habitually turned and shut the door forcefully, ready to learn different intonations of English with them.
Soon, the room resounded with the the music of paid programs.
The learning session lasted two hours before stopping. The General Sect Leader, after taking so rest and putting his pants back on, exited the room, called a server for a glass of cold water to cool down, only to be approached by another lady greeting him.
Decked out in splendid attire and exuding a strong perfu scent, she said, “Dear, do you still rember ?”
Allen Zhang scrutinized her features, scanning his mory, but he couldn’t recall anything.
“I’m Jenny from the adult fashion industry.” the woman said.
“Well… I don’t really rember… I’m sorry.” Allen Zhang hesitated to reply.
The lady wasn’t offended, just smiled slightly and whispered in his ear, “I have a pink butterfly tattoo.”
“Oh, it’s you!” The General Sect Leader suddenly realized, imdiately rembering her.
He chuckled, “Dear, long ti no see.”
“Seems like you rembered, dear. You’ve been so busy, you barely rember anymore. How about stepping outside with ?” The lady invited.
“Outside? Isn’t inside just fine?” Allen Zhang asked, puzzled.
“I have several new sisters waiting for you by the swimming pool at the western villa,” the woman said.
“…Ok. You go on ahead, I’ll be right there.” Allen Zhang responded, with an odd expression.
“Dear, hurry up, don’t keep us waiting.” The woman waved contently and left.
It seems the General Sect Leader’s reputation precedes him in the circle. Allen Zhang couldn’t help but marvel.
Alright then, off I go!
He downed the glass of cold water in one gulp and chose to attend the eting alone. Just as fireworks ignited outside, lighting up the night sky, the scene beca a lively, bustling hub. This night promised to be a sleepless one for the General Sect Leader.
