After the signing ceremony was over, the first thing Shi Zhijian did when he returned to Shinhwa Group was to call John Hong, Jester, Henry, Fe Wendi and others for a meeting.
In the conference room, Shi Zhijian sat upright and asked John Hong and the others to quickly apply for the patent for "Transformers". Whether it was a toy or a cartoon, they had to be put on the agenda.
Shi Zhijian's sudden appearance left Hong John and others confused. Why did "Transformers" appear unexpectedly and Shi Zhijian wanted to enter the toy market again?
Shi Zhijian said that he had an idea and immediately told Hong John and others about "Transformers".
A man is a boy after all.
When Shi Zhijian boasted like this, he immediately stunned Hong John and others. Is there such a good toy in the world? It would be a shame for myself if I didn't develop it.
It's a pity that Shinhwa Group designs many industries, including electronics, real estate, entertainment, and food, but it doesn't have toys!
But this is not a problem for Hong John and others. Compared with the development of electric vehicles, toy development is simply child's play. You can just buy a toy company and start it. As for animation shooting, it requires a dedicated team. Jester, who is in charge of Shinhwa Entertainment, once again patted his chest.
After issuing a military order, he will quickly recruit animation talents and then set up an animation team to create scripts and film animations.
Shi Zhijian nodded, and Henry, who was in charge of real estate before he spoke, said: "If the concept of Transformers is completed, he will have a tall Transformers model built as a display in front of the building built by Shinhwa Group, and by the way, he will help Shinhwa Real Estate make one."
Wave publicity!”
As soon as Henry finished speaking, Fei Wendi, who is in charge of the food industry, said: "We in the food industry can also use Transformers to make some small cards, and the small models are stuffed into biscuit bags for sale. Children will definitely like it very much!"
Shi Zhijian was surprised. He looked at Henry and Fei Wendi, and deeply doubted whether they had traveled through time together with him? Why was his thinking storm so sharp? These tricks were used by many real estate developers and food merchants in the previous life.
!
How did Shi Zhijian know that since he led these London dandies, aristocratic libertines like Jester, Henry and Fe Wendi, who were originally eating, drinking and waiting to die, suddenly changed their outlook on life, values, and world view - it can be said that three
Watch the great changes!
In any case, Shi Zhijian finalized the "Transformers" plan in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the coffee sent by the female secretary.
Seeing that the conference was about to end, the others also took up their coffee and drank it comfortably, while talking about some happy gossip.
Suddenly, John Hong seemed to realize something, "Sorry, boss! Just one more question, we guys are developing electric cars, making movies, and now we have to launch the Transformers project. As the president of Shinhwa Group, what are you going to do?
What?"
"Oh, you ask me..." Shi Zhijian put down his coffee, straightened his clothes, and said in a light tone: "I am very busy. In addition to negotiating with the Tang Group represented by Downey, I also have to deal with media reporters and win over London
Apart from everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, I still have one very important thing to do..."
"What's going on?" Hong John and others looked at Shi Zhijian and concluded that he was just lazy.
"Ahem," Shi Zhijian covered his mouth and coughed, "Don't look at me like this - I'm really busy! I have to go to Buckingham Palace to receive the canonization... They insist on making me an earl.
Are you surprised?"
"Poof!" Hong John and others almost spit out a mouthful of coffee!
Staring at Shi Zhijian with wide eyes, he suspected that he had heard wrongly!
Canonization?
count?
Seeing Shi Zhijian's indifferent and unwilling expression, Hong John and others almost jumped up and tore him apart!
Among them, Jester, who is an Earl of the British Empire, knows best what the title of Earl represents.
If Jester's ancestor had not nearly divided the world with the current British royal family, his descendants would not have been able to obtain this title!
The problem is that Jester is an out-and-out British aristocrat, and he is the highest-ranking aristocrat, but what about Shi Zhijian? He is a Chinese in his twenties and has only been in the UK for less than a year, but such a person is
Triple jump, from Baron to Viscount, and now from Viscount to Earl!
According to the Chinese, it's like smoke rising from ancestral graves! And it's the kind of three-foot-long spiral smoke!
"Ahem, did we hear it correctly? We, the royal family of the British Empire, want to make you...an earl?" When Jester said these words, his tone was trembling, and his eyes were fixed on Shi Zhijian.
.
Shi Zhijian nodded, picked up the coffee and blew it like a cup of tea: "Originally I was very reluctant to let them pawn a duke, but they said I was too impatient and couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"Pfft!" Jester and others almost choked to death at Shi Zhijian's words this time. Is this still a bargain?
"Hey! Forget it like this, let the earl be an earl. I, Mr. Shi, am not greedy! Besides, I came to England to make money, not to get promoted to a higher position - don't you think so?"
Jester and others looked at me and I looked at you. They highly suspected that Shi Zhijian was deliberately showing off.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, I'll interrupt you and let me ask one more question -" Jester rubbed his nose, "We really want to know why the British royal family shamelessly came after you and knighted you?
What qualifications do you have to bargain with them and want to extort someone... Sorry, maybe the word extortion is not the right word, but we heard that your tone just now was indeed extortion - extorting a duke?"
Everyone looked at Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian took a sip of coffee, smacked his lips, looked up at everyone, and held out two fingers: "I bought that with 200 million!"
…
Soon, the news that Shi Zhijian spent 200 million pounds to buy an earl from the royal family of the British Empire became the biggest secret of Shinhwa Group! It was strictly forbidden to spread outside!
The reason is——
First, everyone feels it’s not worth it!
Second, the British royal family is too stingy!
Third, after all, it doesn't sound good to talk about selling one's official position.
As for the British royal family, Shi Zhijian was awarded the honor this time in a sneaky way. Although the venue was chosen at Buckingham Palace, and Her Majesty the Queen was the one who awarded the honor to Shi Zhijian, there was still no one around to watch the ceremony. To be precise, except for Shi Zhijian's group,
Besides, basically no one came to congratulate me.
On the one hand, the royal family didn't want to make it public, and on the other hand, Shi Zhijian didn't want to make it too grand - people like him would be jealous!
In this way, Shi Zhijian quietly jumped from Viscount to Earl of the British Empire! He became Earl Shi Zhijian, and he was the first Chinese in history!
After Shi Zhijian received the award, in accordance with the agreement he had previously promised with the British royal family, Hercari initiated "insurance claims" matters with Tang's Insurance Company on his behalf.
On the Tang Group's side, Downey Rothschild did not personally come forward, but handed the matter over to the high-priced team of royal lawyers of the British Empire, the same law firm where Hercule once worked.
In this way, Hercari and her former comrades started a war of words over different employers.
Everyone knows each other well, especially as the former ace of the legal team, Hercari almost knows what the opponent's trump card is.
Now that the amount of compensation funds has been determined, plus the principal amount of 300 million, the total is one billion pounds. The question is when will this money be received.
Tang's goal is very clear. The later the money is paid, the better. It can also earn a lot of interest when deposited in the bank.
Shi Zhijian's goal is also very clear, either to pay the money immediately, or to make the matter bigger so that everyone will know that Tang Insurance is cheating!
Anyway, he has already obtained the title of Earl Shi Zhijian. You British guys are despicable, and I am not a good person either. I have done more shameless things than you!
Shi Zhijian even suggested that if the Tang family continues to be so shameless, he, Shi Zhijian, will put up big-character posters all over London!
The big-character poster read: "Tang's insurance is so shameless; huge insurance policies will not compensate you!"
In this era, if an insurance company wants to develop, the most important thing is to have a good reputation. Many insurance companies are prosperous for a while, but eventually collapse because their reputation turns bad.
Shi Zhijian's move was sinister and cruel. Downey never expected that he would not even give the Queen face!
Helpless, Downey had no choice but to signal his legal team to take a step back. The compensation of ten pounds will be paid in three months at the latest!
After receiving this result, Shi Zhijian immediately called the noble lady whose face was printed on the banknote: "It's not that I don't give you face, the main thing is that I want to donate money to the British royal family as soon as possible - 200 million pounds,
I have always been very active in donating money!”
…
After handling the "Transformers" project and the Tang Insurance dispute, Shi Zhijian once again devoted himself to the Shinhwa Entertainment project.
Dark sample interior.
The sample clip of "Blair Witch" had just finished playing, the lights were turned on, and Shi Zhijian was sitting on a chair, squeezing his eyebrows with his hands.
"Mr. Shi, what do you think of the filming of my movie?" Spielberg asked Shi Zhijian cautiously.
Shi Zhijian held his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Shall we go to the set?"
"Eh? Of course!" Seeing Shi Zhijian say this, Spielberg knew there was something wrong with the sample.
Shi Zhijian didn't say much and asked Ax Jun to prepare the car and rush to the set with Spielberg.
Like many movie sets, although the filming of this scene has been temporarily completed, because the sample film has not yet been reviewed, there may be some scenes that need to be reshot, so the actors have not evacuated from the set, waiting for director Spielberg to pass on
Come good news.
When everyone saw Spielberg arriving in the car, both the photographer and the actors were very happy, thinking that the sample had been reviewed and Spielberg came to inform everyone.
Who knows when the car door opens and apart from Spielberg, a young man with black eyes and black hair also gets out of the car? I don’t know who he is.
Spielberg knew that Shi Zhijian was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he casually introduced everyone: "This is Mr. Shi."
Shi Zhijian nodded and said to everyone: "The director and I watched the samples together, and then I had some ideas. I want to confirm them here. I hope everyone will work hard and cooperate well later! Thank you!" Shi Zhijian finished speaking.
Everyone hugged their fists.
When everyone heard that Shi Zhijian was going to reshoot the scene, everyone had different expressions. Most of them were impatient. They thought that Shi Zhijian was nothing and had no right to point fingers here. However, seeing that director Spielberg didn't say anything, everyone had no choice but to deal with it feebly.
He said: "I got it!"
"Okay, let's start now!" Shi Zhijian specially selected a scene where the protagonist was scared to death by Blair Witch.
This time Shi Zhijian replaced the photographer and personally controlled the hand-cranked camera of this era.
This kind of camera is not as small as the previous one. Due to the limitations of the times, it is bulky. Shi Zhijian finally managed to control it alone. Director Spielberg shouted: "Ike God!"
Shooting begins!
The actors were in position accurately, and according to the script, they started to look frightened, and then ran out of the room with all their strength!
When making movies, there are actually only a few basic photography techniques, including push, pull, shake, move, pitch, tilt, follow, and chase, but there are not many that can be really used.
As a layman, Shi Zhijian followed up with a camera. He was in charge of the main camera, and the camera kept shaking and swinging due to the bumps!
Spielberg, who was watching the shooting in front of the equipment, couldn't help but frown. Others beside him even said sarcastically: "Wow, what the hell is this shooting? The camera is so dazzling!"
"Yeah, I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he's not even as good as a child!"
Everyone laughed and laughed.
Spielberg looked at the filming, holding his beard with his fingers, saying nothing.
He thought the same way at first, thinking that Shi Zhijian was filming randomly, but slowly he seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked up at Shi Zhijian, only to see that Shi Zhijian seemed to have really integrated into the plot, holding the camera and running away desperately.
, that panicked look makes people think there is really a ghost!
Spielberg took a deep breath, and the sneer came from his ears again: "Wow, look, he fell! The dog gnawed the mud!"
"You're so stupid, how can you have a handheld device like this?"
"Shut up!" Spielberg suddenly turned his head and roared at the two of them!
Everyone else was startled and looked at Spielberg stupidly, not knowing what was happening.
At this time, Shi Zhijian heard the sound and stopped filming. He got up from the ground, looking a little embarrassed.
As a bodyguard, Ax Jun stepped forward, took the camera handed over by Shi Zhijian, and helped him dust off his clothes.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that Shi Zhijian's identity was not simple, especially that of his bodyguard, whose eyes could spit out fire when he looked at everyone!
Shi Zhijian seemed to have nothing happened. He smiled and said to Spielberg: "Now do you understand what I mean?"
"I see."
"Very good, I will continue to review your film tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Mr. Shi!" Spielberg said sincerely, looking at Shi Zhijian who looked tired.
"It's because of your hard work!" Shi Zhijian glanced at the crowd, including those who just laughed at him, "Thank you for your hard work. When this drama is successfully released, I will hold a celebration banquet for everyone!" After speaking, he smiled and raised a stick.
Fingers, "Definitely!"
After speaking, Shi Zhijian said no more and walked towards the Bentley.
