Chapter 338: The Gathering of the Big Courtyard Brothers

In fact, all five of them knew Zhao Dong, but the level difference among the older generation was a bit big, and they couldn't get into the circles that the Zhao brothers hung out in. In addition, they were all more than ten or even twenty years older than the Zhao brothers, so I'm not familiar with it, and now I feel a little bit embarrassed.

It was okay before, the small circle was different, and they could go around when they met, but now it's no longer possible. Zhao Dacheng has entered their industry, and it's impossible for them to go around.

Not only could they not go around, they had to take the initiative to get closer. When they heard that Zhao Dacheng was opening a film and television company half a year ago, they took the initiative to contact him.

"I read in the news that his wife is a big boss on Wall Street. Is that true?" Cui Jian asked.

"The domestic news is all reproduced from the United States, so there should be no mistake." Ma Modu said.

"If it's true, that would be amazing." Jiang Wen said.

Brother Cheng Kai, who had been silent until now, said: "It's not wrong."

"Brother Kai, do you know?" Jiang Wen asked.

Nodding, Brother Cheng Kai said: "Zhang Guorong contacted me not long ago and talked about Zhao Dong. He is very powerful in the United States, and his wife is even more powerful. She also has great power in Hong Kong City. She is not on the same level as us."

"So powerful?" Jiang Wen and the others said in surprise.

Brother Cheng Kai smiled bitterly and said, "How can he not be great? He relies on himself outside. I think he will be even better than Brother Zhenguo in the future."

At this time, Jiang Wen's cell phone rang, and it was Xu Qing's.

"Hey Qing, what's the matter?"

"Wen, I saw your car. Where are you sitting? Xiaogang and I come up and have a meal." Xu Qing from the opposite side said very familiarly.

"Ouch, this..."

Jiang Wen hesitated. Although Xu Qing was also a disciple of the big courtyard, he didn't know what the Zhao brothers' attitude was.

"Why, it's inconvenient, forget it." Xu Qing understood immediately.

"No, it's me and Brother Ma who are treating us, so what do you think?" Jiang Wendao.

"Understood." Xu Qing said.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wen said helplessly: "Qing and Zhao Dacheng turned out to be from the same compound. We all know their brothers and are more familiar with them than we are.

The age difference between us is not that big, so it would be fine if she were alone, but it would be inconvenient if Feng Xiaogang is here. "

Several other people nodded. Today is a gathering of brothers from the big courtyard. If an outsider comes in, the Zhao brothers might turn around and leave.

"Mysterious."

Xu Qing, who was standing in the parking lot, put away his mobile phone and said to Feng Xiaogang next to him: "It's not convenient for them, so we can eat by ourselves."

"inconvenient?"

Feng Xiaogang was muttering in his heart, it's not that big of a deal. He has been following Mr. Shuo for so many years and has basically gotten into that circle. He is very familiar with it. It's just a casual meal. Is it that big of a deal?

In fact, he didn't know that the circle he got into was just the so-called Beijing circle, which was just the periphery of a few big courtyard boys from the cultural circle, film and television circles, and this circle was not recognized by other big courtyard boys. Nothing about Beijing.

For example, Zhao Dong would not recognize this Beijing circle.

At this time, an Audi 6 drove over and parked right next to the two of them, and two tall young men got out.

"Dacheng?" Xu Qing said.

"Sister Qing, what a coincidence?" Zhao Dacheng said with a smile.

"yes!"

Xu Qing looked up at Zhao Dong and said with some surprise: "Zhao Dong, right? Hey, you are so tall? I dare not recognize you. Are you back from the United States?"

"Hello."

Zhao Dong smiled and nodded in response.

He and Xu Qing were not very familiar with each other. Although they were from the same hospital, Xu Qing seemed to be four years older than his brother and seven years older than him. They didn't play together, but they were more familiar with his brother.

"Together?"

Zhao Dacheng said, pointing to the upper floor of the hotel.

Xu Qing pointed to Feng Xiaogang next to him and said, "Is it convenient?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

At this time, Feng Xiao just found a chance to speak and quickly extended his hand to Zhao Dacheng.

He only met Zhao Dacheng once at a dinner party. Mr. Shuo introduced that Zhao Dacheng had invested in his movie, but he did not talk to him. He did not know Zhao Dacheng's identity. He only knew that he was the owner of a newly established film and television company.

But he could tell that Mr. Shuo's attitude in front of Zhao Dacheng was very low-key and very polite. He was a man with a background.

As for Zhao Dong, of course he knew him, but he didn't dare to talk to him rashly now.

"Hello, Director Feng, has the filming started?"

Zhao Dacheng stretched out his hand and shook Feng Xiaogang's hand, then let go immediately.

"We are filming now and the progress is going well. I just happened to meet up with Qing. Let's have a meal together. I unexpectedly met you?" Feng Xiaogang said very politely.

"Be careful. I have invested in several projects and lost money. If you lose again, I will destroy Wang Shuo's business." Zhao Dacheng nodded and encouraged Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang's face twitched again and again, and he did not dare to answer this question.

Xu Qing said angrily: "Dacheng, you are a promising person now, are you talking so rudely? Brother Shuo can help you pull projects, can you still make money? Who can guarantee it? He is not that capable. You have to be capable, If you want to be a big boss, it is only right that you lead us to make money! Everyone will follow you."

"Are you rushing?" Zhao Dacheng said in surprise.

"Aren't you going to rush?" Xu Qing asked.

The two are still very familiar with each other, because Xu Qing is not much older than Zhao Dacheng and is pretty. Zhao Dacheng chased Xu Qing for a while when he was in high school and wanted to have a sibling relationship.

At that time, Xu Qing had already joined Beijing Film Academy and had already made several movies. He had a high level of vision, so he couldn't see Zhao Dacheng, a little brat, and dismissed him because he was too young.

Zhao Dacheng laughed, did not answer the question, and looked at Zhao Dong.

"You set up a game to see what I do?" Zhao Dong said.

"Then let's go together."

Zhao Dacheng waved his hand and motioned for Xu and Feng to follow.

"Dacheng, aren't you eating with Wen and the others?" Xu Qing caught up and asked.

"It's them." Zhao Dacheng said.

"Then they are still mysterious?" Xu Qing said dissatisfied.

Zhao Dacheng pointed at Feng Xiaogang behind him. Xu Qing was startled and understood immediately.

"Dacheng is here."

Arriving at the reserved private room, Zhao Dacheng opened the door. Jiang Wen and others inside saw Zhao Dacheng and stood up quickly.

Even Brother Cheng Kai and Wang Su, who were almost a generation older, did not dare to put on airs and were very polite.

"This is my brother Zhao Dong, you all know him." Zhao Dacheng said.

"Hello, Zhao Dong."

Several people glanced at Xu and Feng behind Zhao Dong in surprise, and nodded to Zhao Dong.

"Hello, you guys are not outsiders. You are all a bit older than us brothers, or even a generation older. So don't be polite. Let's sit down and chat." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Several people were a little surprised. This character seems to be different from before. Isn't it too arrogant?

They don't know that Zhao Dong has experienced severe beatings from society in the United States and has had the experience of the previous life. His superficial arrogance is gone, and now he only has a little pride left.

"Qing, did you meet the Dacheng brothers down there?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile after sitting down.

"I met him in the parking lot. I didn't know Zhao Dong was back. He is so tall and strong now. I didn't dare to recognize him when I saw him." Xu Qing said with a smile.

At this point, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Wen and said, "I still enjoyed this meal. After all, Dacheng is from the same hospital. He is more generous than you, and he even dislikes me. People's realms are different."

Jiang Wen smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Ma Modu and the others also laughed helplessly.

"Brother, I happened to meet a beautiful woman earlier. She is the girl from the Ge Ge play. Do you want to call her over?"

Zhao Dacheng said with a smile.

"Why did you call me here?" Zhao Dong said.

"Let's eat, drink and have fun together, what else can we do?"

Zhao Dacheng smiled and said: "Those Gege girls are very popular recently, but I think the most beautiful ones are the girls."

Jiang Wen and the others laughed.

"Men are not good."

Xu Qingqing glanced at Zhao Dacheng. The little brat who had chased her had now learned to play with female celebrities, and she couldn't help but murmured softly.

This woman was just thirty years old now, and she was extremely tender. Zhao Dacheng happened to catch the look she gave him, and the amorous look in her eyes instantly stirred his heart.

"Stop yelling, I'm not interested in that princess girl."

Zhao Dong said something, turned around and asked Brother Cheng Kai next to him: "Brother Kai, what movie are you filming recently?"

"Oh, I'm filming Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin, played by Gong Li and Zhang Fengyi." Brother Cheng Kai said with a smile.

"Where's Brother Wen?" Zhao Dong asked Jiang Wen again.

As soon as this sentence was asked, Wang Shuo and others laughed at the same time.

Jiang Wen smiled bitterly and said: "From last year to this year, I worked on a film called The Devils Are Coming, but it couldn't pass the review."

Zhao Dong was stunned, he knew this. Jiang Wen took this film to compete abroad next year, but was banned for five years. For five years, he could not be a director, but could only be an actor.

He laughed and did not mention the topic again, saying: "These brothers are not outsiders. Brother Kai and Brother Ma are not much younger than my father..."

Brother Cheng Kai said quickly: "Half a generation, Lao Ma and I are half a generation younger than Brother Zhenguo. The three of them are the same generation as you, so they are a little older."

Nodding, Zhao Dong said: "Now, my brother wants to join your profession, but he won't listen to my family's advice, and I can't do anything, so I came here today to talk about this matter with my brothers."

Brother Cheng Kai and others nodded, waiting for Zhao Dong's next words.

Zhao Dongdao: "That's what I think. Since my brother wants to do this, he must do it well. I just told him that if he wants to do it, he must develop the company. The goal is to be the leader in this industry. If It’s just for fun, so let’s stop early.”

"Dragon head?" Several people were surprised.

Zhao Dong raised a finger and said with a smile: "I'm going to invest so much in my brother."

"..."

Brother Cheng Kai and others didn't know Zhao Dong, so they were a little confused and didn't know how to guess this number.

"One hundred million?"

Zhao Dacheng didn't know how much Zhao Dong said, so he guessed.

Zhao Dong glanced at his brother with some disgust and said, "Brother, I want you to develop the company into an industry leader. Can 100 million be okay?"

"A billion?"

Not only Zhao Dacheng was shocked, but everyone else was shocked.

It was only 1999. At this time, there was no concept of entertainment industry in China, and there were no big film and television companies. So Huayi Company had only been established for five years, and it had not yet set foot in the film and television industry. The first project was even signed by Zhao Dacheng. I robbed it, and now I'm still doing music and stuff. It's worth 10 to 20 million yuan.

So it's hard for Brother Cheng Kai and others to imagine what it would be like for a film and television company to invest one billion dollars?

You know, the total domestic box office in 1998 did not exceed 1 billion. This also includes the 360 ​​million box office of Titanic, otherwise it would be at most 500 million.

This year's total box office does not have the hot iron boat last year, so it is not as good as last year. After half a year, it is only over 300 million.

Just when everyone was shocked, Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "Brother, can you take a long-term view? What can one billion do?"

"What? Is it 10 billion? My dear!"

"Ten billion? Can you buy the entire film and television industry?"

Everyone's mouths were opened wide, and their whole minds were confused.

Zhao Dong waved his hand and said: "As an industry leader in the film and television industry, my request is to have a one-stop service from creation to production, from promotion to theaters, and even high-tech companies such as film stunts."

Several people looked at each other, but they still wanted to invest in theaters? Want to start a stunt company? However, 10 billion is too much. With so much money, why should we invest in film and television?

"Old, brother, do you really want to invest 10 billion?"

Zhao Dacheng's throat is a little dry. His current Huihuang Film and Television Company has only invested 20 million yuan. This money was finally extracted from his mother's hands. If he really wants to give him 10 billion yuan, he doesn't even know what to do. Spend the money.

"It's not a one-time investment, take your time, this is a long-term rule." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Zhao Dacheng nodded and said: "That's okay, don't give me too much money, I'm afraid I'll lose it to you."

Zhao Dong smiled and said to the others: "Brothers, my brother is new to your industry and has few connections, so he has to rely on you to help him."

"No problem. From now on, I will hang out with you two. If I want to make a movie, I will directly ask you for investment." Jiang Wen was the first to express his stance.

Several others followed, including Cui Jian, a musician.

Zhao Dong said seriously: "As a leader in the entertainment, film and television industry, there is another requirement, that is, you must have correct three views. Don't sit on your butt and sit in someone else's house."

"Hey, I agree with this." Jiang Wen immediately agreed.

Several other people naturally nodded in agreement.

Zhao Dong smiled again and said: "My commercial business will soon be launched in China, and a private commercial investment bank will soon be established in Beijing, which is specially approved by the state."

"Private commercial investment bank?"

"Is this all opened in a bank?"

Several people looked at each other again. Zhao Dong's words had a psychological impact on them. They were already a little numb. Now they couldn't answer the words at all and could only listen with their ears.

Zhao Dong continued: "If you help my brother, I won't let you work in vain. If you want to invest in the future, just tell my brother and I will take you to play."

"Oh..." Several people nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Zhao Dong's cell phone rang, his home phone number.

"Hello?"

"Husband, now that the funds are in place, you can go to the superiors to get the procedures." Lin said.

"Okay, I'll go find my dad right now. He's not at home, right?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"No, dad is at the company, no, at work. By the way, hubby, mom asked you if you would come back for dinner." Lindsay smiled.

"No, my brother and I are inviting some friends to dinner at a Beijing hotel." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm done." Lindsay smiled.

Zhao Dong hung up the phone and called his father's cell phone.

"Hey Dad, have you finished handing over?" Zhao Dong asked after the call was made.

"No, such a big stall will take another day."

"Oh, Dad, our money is in place, how can we go through the procedures?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Already in place? Well, you don't need to go through the formalities. I'll see if I can bring it back to you tonight." Zhao Zhenguo said.

"Okay. By the way, my brother and I are at the Beijing Hotel. We are inviting Brother Kai and Brother Ma to dinner. Do you want to come over?" Zhao Dong asked.

"What's Brother Kai and Brother Ma?" Zhao Zhenguo said.

"It's Brother Chen Kai and Ma Modu." Zhao Dong said.

"Those frivolous things, why are you hanging out with them?" Zhao Zhenguo's voice became louder, and he sounded unhappy.

Brother Chen Kai and others also heard it and couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"Brother, isn't this what I want to do? If he likes to do this, let him do it." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"I'm too lazy to care about him, he's a loser. But you can't get into that line of work, do you hear me?" Zhao Zhenguo said in a deep voice.

"I know, how can I have time?" Zhao Dong smiled.

The two chatted for a few words and then hung up.

"Brother, do you have the bank funds in place?" Zhao Dacheng asked.

"Here we are, it's pretty quick to get in from the port city." Zhao Dong said.

"Ten billion dollars?" Zhao Dacheng asked.

"Yes." Zhao Dong said.

Brother Chen Kai and the others looked at each other. Ten billion dollars, is Zhao Dong digging for gold in the United States, or robbing Americans' treasury?

The meal ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Dacheng took Zhao Dong to the next dinner.

This time I made an appointment with the guys from the big courtyard who used to play with them. They were about the same age and had similar family backgrounds. The older ones were at least at the university level.

This party was also arranged by Zhao Dacheng and was held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. The level was obviously much higher than the party with Brother Chen Kai and the others.

This foreign affairs hotel was opened to the public in 1980, but only on days when there were no foreign affairs activities, and only in Building 89.

There are a total of sixteen buildings, and Zhao Dacheng arranged them in Building No. 18 (to respect the customs of foreign guests, there are no Buildings 1 and 13).

After going through registration inspection, two people and one car had to drive in.

"Brother Lei, the second fat man, the third girl..."

As soon as he entered Building 18, Zhao Dong saw many of his childhood playmates, people in their twenties and thirties, and he quickly greeted them warmly.

"Dongzi, I haven't seen you for many years. You are so tall and strong. I don't even think I saw you playing on TV..."

"Brother Dong, you didn't even come to play with us last year. I thought you looked down on us."

"Dongzi, I stayed in the United States for a few months last year, and I was too embarrassed to look for you because I was afraid you wouldn't recognize me."

"Brother Dongdong, you didn't even notify us of your wedding. I think you just look down on us."

After seeing Zhao Dong, everyone started shouting.

"Third girl, I got married in the United States. How can I not look down on you?"

Zhao Dong explained it to a beautiful girl in her twenties, and then said to the others: "I have been staying outside in the past few years and have less contact. I feel sorry for you brothers and sisters. I will punish myself with three cups of wine later. "

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. My brother is doing business, how can he have time to play with you?"

Zhao Dacheng waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then said: "You guys, instead of doing business all day long, just think about running abroad.

I originally wanted to bring my brother and sister-in-law's foreign subordinates here to show you, so that you can open your eyes and don't think that foreigners are anything special. They still work for my brother and sister-in-law. "

"Brother Dacheng, Brother Dong, and Uncle Zhenguo have been promoted again. Your family is getting stronger and stronger."

"It's not as simple as promotion. Uncle Zhenguo is already the deputy department. This time it's just a real job. The main reason is that he has been transferred out of the public security system and has a brighter future."

Everyone started talking again.

At this time, another group of people came in from outside the building. The number was small, but there were six young men and women, four boys and two girls.

"Hey, Liu Chengbing, are you on this floor too?"

Zhao Dacheng looked back and saw one of the young men named Liu Chengbing. He quickly greeted him with a very cautious attitude, just like Jiang Wen and others' attitude towards him.
