“So delicious!”

Xiaoran's cheeks were stuffed to the brim with hot-boiled meat, and she yelped loudly after eating it.

Song Qi was not as exaggerated as her, but he was still very satisfied with his food.

Although Najido hired chefs from Daxia, the taste of foreign countries was not as authentic as at home.

This was the place An Qin was looking for. After taking two bites, she put down her chopsticks and drank tea while watching the two of them grab the meat.

After eating and drinking, Song Qi also put down his chopsticks, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before asking: "How are you doing lately?"

"Not very good."

An Qin shook his head: "Remember Wang Kun? His movie was released in June. Just like your first movie, it was a hit. It grossed twelve million at the box office and didn't even get back the money."

"That's better than me. My movie only had a box office of six million."

Song Qi made a joke and then asked seriously: "Isn't Xinyu's financial situation very tight? What did the theater say? Hasn't the payment been made yet?"

"It's basically settled. Otherwise, how can I still have money to treat you to dinner?"

An Qin helped Xiao Ran add a glass of hawthorn juice and asked, "Do you need money over there? I can transfer your share first."

"use."

Song Qi was not polite to her: "But there's no need to be busy spending money. I brought Xiaoran back this time just to ask her to help me spend money."

An Qin understood what he meant as soon as he heard it: "Are you going to counterattack the domestic market?"

"That's right."

"when?"

“This year’s Spring Festival.”

"So fast?"

An Qin was a little surprised: "Are you a little anxious?"

"It just needs to be fast, and we can't give Eternal Pictures any time to breathe."

Song Qi's expression was calm: "My real strength is not yet able to compete head-on with Eternal Pictures, so I have to take advantage of the situation.

But borrowed power is the power of others after all. To strike, you need to be strong yourself. If I don’t take this opportunity to solidify my own foundation, I will die when Eternal Pictures takes a breather.

I want to defeat Eternal Pictures once and for all so that it never dares to have any thoughts about me again, only then can I feel at ease."

An Qin frowned slightly: "In this case, we are completely at odds. Isn't it too extreme?"

"Not extreme at all."

Song Qi shook his head: "Films are essentially business, and business competition is very cruel. If you want to establish a stick in the industry, you must be ruthless, otherwise you will become a soft persimmon, and everyone will want to pinch it."

An Qin looked at him with a complicated expression: "If I were as ruthless as you, I would have made Xin Yu bigger."

"Thankfully you didn't."

Song Qi smiled and winked: "Otherwise, my waist would have been gone long ago."

An Qin rolled her eyes at him, pursed her lips and smiled, then fell into deep thought.

The person who talked about the development of the industry and dreams in front of her, the person who smiled playfully even after losing money, and even dared to lick his face and asked her to borrow money again, and the domineering, courageous and sharp-edged Song in front of her.

Strange, which one is the real him?

"You have to help me."

Song Qi took a sip of tea.

"How can I help?"

An Qin did not refuse.

"When buying theater chains, the more, the better."

Song Qi said sternly: "I now have nearly 1.4 billion in cash, plus my 80 million dividend from "Deep Chill", even if it's 1.5 billion, I plan to use it all to buy theater chains."

"not enough."

An Qin shook his head and said: "Theatrical chains are heavy assets. At most, 1.5 billion can buy a small theater chain with dozens of theaters."

"I don't want full ownership, just shares."

Song Qi explained: "I plan to buy shares of small theater chains with less than 1,000 theaters. I won't buy more, as long as I can join the board of directors. I can buy as much as I can. I know you have connections there, so you have to help me make connections.

"

"Are you afraid of getting stuck again?" An Qin guessed what he was thinking.

"It's more than that."

Song Qi shook his head and said: "This year during the Spring Festival, I am going to throw a bomb. If it works well, I will be completely established in the domestic film industry. After that, I will start to set up my own stage, and all the large theaters will

I won’t leave a single line behind, including those we are currently cooperating with. If you help me now, I will give you a chance to get on the bus. I dare not say more, but in three years, I will help you increase the market value by tens of billions.”

Listening to his words, An Qin was a little surprised: "You want to eat alone?"

"It's not about eating alone, it's about taking the initiative."

Song Qi sighed and said: "This incident with Eternal Pictures has made it clear to me that when negotiating business with businessmen, you cannot be soft-hearted. You must take the initiative at all times, otherwise someone will mess with you. After my position is stable,

I will still cooperate with the hospital, but then the price will not be what it is now."

An Qin didn't rush to answer, but just frowned in thought.

She didn't expect Song Qi's ambition to be so big.

How confident is he in himself?

After thinking for a long time, she said seriously: "I can't reply to you right away, I have to think about it carefully."

"no problem."

Song Qi smiled, winked at her and said, "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you."

An Qin was stunned: "What surprise?"

"Just close your eyes."

Song Qi did not explain.

An Qin had no choice but to close her eyes.

After a while, she heard Song Qi say: "Okay, open your eyes!"

She opened her eyes as instructed, and immediately saw a necklace hanging in front of her eyes.

A bright and transparent heart-shaped sapphire hangs underneath the smooth and silver white gold chain, which is like a deep sea and makes people fascinated.

“So beautiful!”

Even from An Qin's point of view, this is an extremely exquisite necklace.

"Sent to you."

Song Qi smiled and said: "I named it Heart of the Ocean."

"This... is too expensive! I can't accept it."

An Qin hesitated.

"It's not expensive. Najido gave it to me. I asked the craftsmen to beat the gemstones dug out from his mine. It only costs ten thousand pieces including the workmanship and materials."

Song Qi smiled and said, "As long as you don't dislike it."

An Qin glanced at him with a complicated expression.

How could this not be valuable?

The value of gems is originally given by people. When buried underground, it is just a stone. But if it is made into jewelry, it is a luxury product.

With the purity and carat of this gem, if it were auctioned, it would cost at least millions, but Song Qi gave it to her like this.

What did he want to do? An Qin couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Is he chasing me?

"Keep it! Why are you so polite to me?"

Song Qi balled up the necklace and stuffed it into a red velvet necklace box. She patted it in front of An Qin and raised her hand to signal to the waiter: "More tea, thank you!"

Seeing his unconcerned look, An Qin suddenly felt a little annoyed.

What do you mean? Shouldn't I wear it?

Why are you so polite?

It feels like you are bribing me. Is this giving me a gift?

While thinking about it, she couldn't help but glare at Song Qi.

Song Qi was stared at in confusion by her.

What happened when I finished my tea and asked the waiter to add a cup of tea? Who did I offend?
