In the evening, the rays of light turned the sky red.
Lu Fei returned to the Rose Garden Villa from Sogou, pushed the door open, and saw Lu Yun's family sitting at the dining table. The atmosphere was very strange.
Lu Ruoruo pouted, feeling unhappy and unable to eat.
"Ahem!"
Just when Lu Yunchang was about to open his mouth, Xiao Hongmei cleared her throat and called the nanny to give Lu Fei more food, "You haven't eaten yet? Sit down and eat something."
"Still that wish list?"
Lu Fei pulled out his chair and lowered his voice.
Lu Yun nodded helplessly, looking at Lu Ruoruo who felt very distressed, and looking at Xiao Hongmei who was very confused and in a dilemma.
"On the way back, I suddenly thought, Ruoruo, is your birthday coming soon?" Lu Fei took the bowl and chopsticks.
Lu Ruoruo suddenly raised his head and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiao Hongmei walked down the steps and sighed: "It's almost there, so let's just choose something from the wish list."
"It's just the same..."
Lu Ruoruo groaned and blinked.
"No, forget it then."
Lu Fei shrugged.
"Second dad~"
Lu Ruoruo jumped down and hugged his thigh.
"You have to think clearly about what you want?"
"I want a zoo! No, an aquarium, no, no, a ski resort, I still want an amusement park, it's so difficult..."
"I can only have one."
Lu Fei stretched out a finger.
Lu Ruoruo struggled for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to her, "I want a zoo that has both an amusement park and an aquarium!"
"You're a greedy little guy, you still want three-in-one?"
Lu Fei, Lu Yun, and Xiao Hongmei looked at each other and smiled.
"No, no, it's just one! There are all animals in the zoo, right!" Lu Ruoruo saw them nodding, "Then the fish in the aquarium are animals, and the people in the amusement park are also animals, so there are one, not three!"
Lu Fei chuckled, "You, you, you are a little kid, you always come up with new tricks for me, but the zoo..."
"Second dad, do you agree or not?" Lu Ruoruo took his arm again and shook it gently.
"You are beautiful." Xiao Hongmei rolled her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, Ruoruo is right, these three can be counted as one." Lu Fei said with a smile, "Then Ruoruo, I will give you a zoo with both an amusement park and an aquarium."
"Thank you, second dad. Second dad is the best! I promise never to steal Huahua's milk powder again!" Lu Ruoruo was jumping up and down with excitement.
"Are you just thanking your second dad? Don't you want to thank your parents?"
Lu Fei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you dad!"
Lu Ruoruo smiled at Lu Yun, then threw herself into Xiao Hongmei's arms, trying to be cute and pass the test, "Thank you, mom~"
Xiao Hongmei laughed angrily and said helplessly: "But Ah Fei, can this zoo be run?"
"Why can't you do it? Sister-in-law, have you heard of Yu Qian?"
Lu Fei picked up a piece of ribs.
"I've heard of the famous cross talk actor, Mr. Lubian, and my mother likes to listen to his cross talk," Lu Ruoruo said.
Lu Fei laughed and said: "He rented a piece of land in the suburbs of Yanjing and built a zoo. The area is quite large."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Hongmei was surprised.
Lu Fei nodded, "How about we go to his zoo another day and treat it as a tourist trip?"
"Ouch~"
When Lu Ruoruo heard this, she ran to Lu Hua excitedly and said while teasing, "Zoo! We are going to the zoo!"
Xiao Hongmei pondered for a moment, "Okay, but after Yuanyuan comes back from Xiangjiang and cleans the tomb during the Qingming Festival, our whole family will go to Yu Qian's zoo and treat it as an outing."
"Okay, I'll tell Yuanyuan."
Lu Fei picked up the phone and dialed.
On the fifth day, TVB's share transfer ceremony had just ended. Gao Yuanyuan returned to Beijing on the same day, which instantly stirred up the entire entertainment industry.
Online and offline media swarmed to the new building that had been completed in Han and Tang Dynasties, but Gao Yuanyuan was nowhere to be seen.
The official statement is that it has not returned yet.
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan was holding her son in her arms and sitting in a business car with Lu Fei. A whole motorcade drove neatly to Lixian Town, Daxing, and the car radio was playing:
"With the completion of the share transfer, TVB bids farewell to the Shao Yifu era and officially enters the new 'Han and Tang Era'."
"Can TVB recreate the glory of Hong Kong dramas?"
"The new head of the TV station, Gao Yuanyuan, said that the TV station's current management and program policies remain unchanged for the time being. The most important thing is to promote exchanges between the two places in terms of artists, teams, etc., so that more mainland scenes can be understood through film and television dramas, so that
More Hong Kong artists are participating in mainland film and television dramas and learning from each other..."
"Mom, daddy."
Lu Hua was moving around in Gao Yuanyuan's arms, and he saw her looking sideways, "Dad is on the phone."
"Don't agree to the acquisition? Unsurprisingly, what about strategic investment?" Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.
"Gode has no objection to this, but he is only willing to take out 5% of the shares, and he wants 50 million US dollars."
Xu Lei said on the phone: "In the final bargaining, I moved you, the world's richest man and the god of Eastern stocks, to get the price of 40 million U.S. dollars and promised us a board seat."
Lu Fei thought for a moment and said, "The price and conditions are quite fair. Please ask Haodong and Zhang Yong for their opinions."
"Originally, there was no need for such trouble. AutoNavi CEO Hou Jun and COO Xiao Jun were almost persuaded by me to cancel the listing and accept our acquisition. However, they were pressured by Cheng Congwu and other institutional investors and had to give up."
Xu Lei said in a serious tone: "To be honest, I am optimistic about AutoNavi's technology, but not its future development. The shareholding structure is too confusing, and there is no clear division. Sooner or later there will be internal strife."
"Unclear equity is a common problem for most start-up companies, but for us, it is good news."
"I'm afraid that if Cheng Congwu takes the position of CEO, we may have to pay a high price to acquire AutoNavi."
"No rush, take your time."
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Anyway, we only use AutoNavi as a backup tire. The focus is on the self-developed map navigation. Although AutoNavi's current market share is close to 50%, it is unrivaled in the country. As long as we wait for our product to come out, that's it."
The end of Gothic.”
"Yes, as long as it is free, it can directly cut off the source of income of AutoNavi. For ToC, users will definitely not pay for it. For ToB, enterprises will not make much money," Xu Lei replied.
"In the end there is only one way."
Lu Fei looked at the scenery passing by outside the window.
"That means surrendering obediently and being acquired by us."
Xu Lei laughed triumphantly on the phone.
"Just wait, there will be a day when Gao De asks us!"
Lu Fei hung up the phone and raised a smirk on his lips.
Investing in 5% of AutoNavi's shares is equivalent to occupying a pit in advance. As long as the business continues to decline and losses continue, you can connect with other shareholders and accept the "recruitment". In this case——
There are both Sogou and Amap. The entire map navigation market is basically dominated by "Lu". Lu Yun, are you joining or not?
"You just bought TVB, why do you want to buy another company? Or a navigation map?"
Gao Yuanyuan cast a doubtful look.
These days, let alone mobile phone maps, computer maps are not very popular, and almost no one has the habit of using maps for navigation.
"You don't understand this. Map navigation has great prospects. If you think about it, think about it." Lu Fei pointed to the navigator in the driver's seat. "If there is no Amap now, why don't you find it?"
Is Yu Qian’s zoo very troublesome?”
"That's true." Gao Yuanyuan said.
"This is the case now. In future transportation planning, road conditions will only become more complicated. As long as the entire 'demand' is determined to be a demand, it will be an opportunity for the Internet." Lu Fei joked, "If you drive by yourself in the future, you may not get lost.
Already."
"Where are Sichuan and Chongqing?" Gao Yuanyuan's tone was full of teasing.
"Except Sichuan and Chongqing, especially mountain cities!"
Lu Fei smacked his lips, "By the way, Yuanyuan, TVB..."
"Okay, stop it!"
Seeing how frustrated he was, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "We won't talk about business today. You said this yourself before we left."
Then, he grabbed Lu Hua's little hand and played with it, "Look, dad doesn't mean what he says."
“…”
Lu Fei smiled and said nothing.
After a while, the motorcade drove to Daxing in a mighty manner, and saw a huge sign that read "Tian Jing Di Hua Pet Paradise".
The door is open, and Yu Qian has been waiting for you.
Lu Fei, Gao Yuanyuan, Lu Yun, Xiao Hongmei...
Seeing this posture, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel excited. He had never seen anything like this before. He had never seen this scene before!
That's really a heifer riding a rocket, so awesome that it goes to the sky!
"I really didn't expect you guys to be willing to come to our garden. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to rest. I'm sorry for you guys."
“Very good, quite original.”
Lu Fei shook hands with him and walked straight away. He saw that the whole garden was more like a zoo than a rough farmhouse.
The road on the ground is not paved, half is dirt and half is cement.
Along the way, all kinds of birds, animals, fish, and insects that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground are listed in the garden.
"Dog!"
Lu Ruoruo saw the dog in the cage and ran over.
Xiao Hongmei, Gao Yuanyuan and others also followed to take care of him.
"Your place is quite unique." Lu Fei looked back.
"I have loved raising animals since I was a child, and this has fulfilled my dream of being an animal caretaker." Yu Qian said with a smile, "Now there are only 17 mini horses, 4 squirrel monkeys, 2 deer, and more than 30 dogs in the garden.
, more than 100 pigeons, more than 1,000 koi carps..."
"To raise so many, you need twenty or thirty acres of land, right?"
Lu Fei looked around and pointed.
"Not too much, not too much, 30 acres. I plan to double it this year, expand it to 60 acres, and expand the horse farm."
Yu Qian raised his hand and pointed at the horse farm not far away.
You, Yu Qian, can build a 60-acre zoo by yourself?
Good guy, should I get a Zootopia?
Lu Fei smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, I should, I should, because of your reputation as Mr. Lu, you should have a Chengde Summer Resort, and you won't be able to go hunting in Rehe much."
Yu Qian was smiling happily.
"You, you."
Lu Fei saw Gao Yuanyuan approaching with Lu Hua in her arms. He went up to meet him and took his son, "How is it? Do you like it?"
"I like them all."
Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Amusement parks, zoos, aquariums, Ruoruo and Huahua will have a place to play in the future."
"That's good."
Lu Fei secretly added Zeng Li and Lu Xia in his heart.
"By the way, my sister-in-law said she would like to leave some open space for her to grow flowers and grass. My eldest brother wants to build a fish pond for fishing."
Gao Yuanyuan moved her arms.
"Okay, everything is okay."
The two of them chatted with each other for a while, and Yu Qian finally said: "I have asked the cook to prepare lunch. The staple food is roasted whole lamb. I will pick some toon buds and touch two river fish. You guys can try it later."
One taste.”
"You are living such a comfortable life, I'm a little envious of you." Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"How can I compare with you? When I talk about cross talk, hehe, what do you mean by that sentence? There are no quiet years. It's just that some people are carrying the burden forward. If the sky falls, you will bear it." Yu Qian laughed.
He said, "I won't make any more trouble. I'll gather a few friends and have three meals a day in the countryside, drink and chat. If you're willing, I'm always welcome in my zoo. You can come anytime you want."
"What if we film a variety show here and let you be the host?" Lu Fei looked straight at him.
"Ah? Me? Be the host like Teacher Guo?"
Yu Qian was stunned and pointed at himself.
"Yes, it can be at this zoo or somewhere else. Let's have a mukbang and chat while eating."
What Lu Fei said is not exactly the same as "Longing for Life", but it is at least the same.
Just living in Tianjingdi Hua Pet Paradise, you need to be self-sufficient for three meals a day, and the hard currency is corn and peanuts. Corn can be exchanged for meat, and peanuts can be exchanged for beer.
Guests come to every episode of the show, and as the host, Yu Qian has to entertain them and satisfy their food requirements.
"This is a good idea! Cooking, pastoral, interviews, and it's a reality show." Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
"What our program emphasizes is real cooking, real food, real conversation, and real feelings. The key is that the host is knowledgeable and capable."
Lu Fei glanced at her and said, "There are also guests..."
"Teacher Yu, what do you think?"
Gao Yuanyuan pondered for a moment. This kind of variety show is very suitable for TVB. You can invite actors from classic TVB dramas such as "The Condor" and "Dragon" to create a nostalgic show.
It will not only allow TVB actors to become famous in the mainland more quickly, but also use the nostalgic style to boost the ratings of "Longing for Life".
The benefits are not limited to these...
"To tell you the truth, I have acted in sketches, dramas, TV series, and commercials, but I have never made a movie or been a host." Yu Qian neither refused nor agreed directly.
"Then become a host first and then make a movie."
Gao Yuanyuan said: "How about letting you have enough fun?"
"This, Mr. Lu, Mr. Gao, can you give me a few days to think it over?" Yu Qian looked left and right.
"Of course, don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, he saw Lu Ruoruo running up to him.
Gao Yuanyuan asked: "Ruoruo, what are you looking for?"
Lu Ruoruo looked around, "Uncle, where is your sister?"
"Sister? No, my family is passed down from three generations alone."
Yu Qian was stunned and blurted out.
"Ah? It's that Princess Ayi!"
Lu Ruoruo blinked.
"Oh, hey, that's a cross talk. If you want to find it, you have to find Guo Degang. Princess Ayi Turtle is his wife."
Yu Qian said: "We're not going by car. How about riding a horse? There is a small horse farm here with ponies. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, okay!"
Lu Ruoruo clapped her hands and cheered.
Noticing Lu Fei's worried look, Yu Qian explained: "There are dedicated breeders and equestrian coaches at the racecourse who train the horses to be obedient. It can be said that every horse has my hard work."
"Every horse has your 'bones and blood'?"
Lu Ruoruo exclaimed, surprised.
"You kid has a talent for cross talk. If you were a boy, I would beg Mr. Lu to let me take you on as my apprentice." Yu Qian couldn't help laughing.
"She's very sharp-tongued."
Lu Fei looked at Lu Ruoruo and saw her humming, "I have a little donkey. I never ride it. One day, I rode it to the market on a whim. I held a small leather whip in my hand..."
"hooligan."
Gao Yuanyuan touched her belly and called softly.
"Um?"
"Do you want another daughter?"
"Well."
What Lu Fei was hesitating about was not whether he wanted a daughter, but whether he should let Yu Qian roast some more kidneys for him, or even give him a whip.
