Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Disdain_1

Chen Yuting and Liu Chao walked in just in time to see the host speaking on stage.

"Next, please welcome the investors and creative team of ’The Battle Tiger’ to the stage for a group photo."

As the host finished speaking, applause immediately erupted.

"The investors are going on stage now. I really want to see who the idiots are that invested in Wu Jin. I wonder if that idiot who came in later is among them," sneered Liu Chao.

As the investors got up one by one, Liu Chao recognized one of them and let out another sneer: "Is that Splendid Film and Television’s boss Du Zhenqi? No wonder Splendid Film and Television is on the decline, there’s a reason for it. Investing in movies like ’The Battle Tiger,’ it’s impossible for them not to go downhill."

"That’s Shen Dong!" Suddenly, Chen Yuting cried out in shock.

"Wow, it really is him!" Liu Chao had seen Shen Dong twice before, so he naturally knew what Shen Dong looked like.

"He’s an investor in ’The Battle Tiger’?" Chen Yuting asked in surprise.

"Looks like it. It seems your boyfriend really has a unique vision and way of doing things, quite extraordinary."

"First, he acquired Meizizi Hot Pot, then he crazily changed its name to something like Shuidilao, and now he’s invested in ’The Battle Tiger,’ a movie that at first glance seems to have no box office potential."

Liu Chao sneered again, shaking his head, filled with disdain and contempt for Shen Dong.

"Right, how does he still have money to invest in ’The Battle Tiger’? He spent money on cars and houses, and acquired Meizizi Hot Pot. Even if he got a bargain with ’The Beacon Fire Map,’ he wouldn’t have that much money left," Liu Chao suddenly muttered, puzzled.

"Maybe he made more money in futures again, or perhaps he has earned a lot more in futures investment than I knew," guessed Chen Yuting.

"Does he still have that kind of dumb luck? I think this guy probably didn’t invest much, maybe just a million or two, just treating it like chasing stars," said Liu Chao with a laugh.

"Perhaps," Chen Yuting watched as Shen Dong walked onto the stage to join the others for the group photo.

"Wait, why is this guy standing right in the middle, next to Wu Jin, with a better position than Du Zhenqi, the boss of Splendid Film and Television? That’s the absolute center spot," Liu Chao said, both surprised and confused.

"Is that so?" Chen Yuting didn’t recognize the boss of Splendid Film and Television, but she could see that Shen Dong’s position was indeed the absolute center.

"In this case, there’s only one possibility, and that’s Shen Dong invested the most money," Liu Chao said frowning.

"What, he invested the most money?" gasped Chen Yuting in surprise.

"Yes, that’s the only reason he would be in the absolute center spot," Liu Chao affirmed.

"Then how much money did he actually invest?" Chen Yuting asked curiously.

"Last time we met Wu Jin, he said that the boss of Splendid Film and Television invested ten million. Shen Dong’s investment must have exceeded that amount," Liu Chao said gravely.

He hadn’t expected this. Shen Dong had actually invested so much money that he stood in the center spot for the photo.

It puzzled him how this guy could be so wealthy.

"Over ten million!" Chen Yuting was taken aback.

She was still worried about how to pay off debts of over a million.

Meanwhile, Shen Dong not only bought cars and houses but casually invested in a movie.

If she hadn’t broken up with Shen Dong...

No, she shouldn’t think like that!

Shen Dong was just a nouveau riche who spent lavishly and made reckless investments. It wouldn’t be long before he’d be brought back down to Earth.

She hadn’t made a mistake in breaking up with Shen Dong!

"The more this guy invests, the harder he’ll fall," Liu Chao started laughing again, "He knows nothing and yet pretends to invest like others. He’s simply seeking his own doom."

"For someone like him, after buying the cars and houses, the best thing would be to put the remaining money in the bank and live off the interest. The interest every year would be enough to make one’s life better than most people’s."

"With such haphazard investments, his end is sure to be tragic."

"Investment is not that easy. For a nobody without connections or background like him, with just a bit of sweet talk, he’d be completely lost,"

"Even if he had more money, with his way of doing things, he would end up with nothing."

Liu Chao once again provided his grand insights, still filled with disdain for Shen Dong.

Chen Yuting nodded, agreeing with Liu Chao’s opinion.

Shen Dong felt the best course of action was to deposit the money into a bank and earn interest.

Unfortunately, Shen Dong didn’t understand this principle, and he would soon be brought back to reality.

It was right for her to leave him.

"Alright, Yuting, let’s go have dinner. They’re all a bunch of idiotic investors, nothing interesting to see here," Liu Chao said with a laugh.

"Okay." Chen Yuting followed Liu Chao and they left.

...

The wrap-up ceremony ended and it was time for lunch.

The timing was planned intentionally; wrap up and then lunch.

In a large private room of the restaurant, there were three tables, with quite a number of people.

Shen Dong and his wife, Wu Jin and his wife, and a few investors, along with two assistant directors, sat at one table.

The others sat at the remaining two tables.

The atmosphere in the private room was great, with everyone talking and laughing, clinking glasses in toast.

Now that the movie was finished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What followed were the post-production, promotion, and release issues.

Based on their understanding of "The Battle Tiger," they wouldn’t lose money; it was just a question of how much they’d make.

After the wine had made three rounds and the dishes had shown their five flavors,

Han Deming spoke up, "Folks, today a new batch of jadeite raw stones has been transported here from Myanmar. How about we go to the Jin City Jadeite Trading Market after lunch to check it out?"

Upon hearing this, the boss of Splendid Film and Television, Du Zhenqi, immediately became excited, "I haven’t gambled on stones for over half a year. Since the opportunity has come, I must go and see."

He often engaged in gemstone gambling, doing it several times a year.

Winning some, losing some, overall, he was at a loss.

What appealed to him was the thrill.

Anyway, he was rich and didn’t mind throwing away a few hundred thousand each time.

"Let’s do it, let’s go have a look," the other investors also showed some interest.

"Even though I don’t have money, I’ll join you guys for the fun."

Wu Jin’s main purpose was to accompany the investors, otherwise it would seem inappropriate, and there was a chance that the investors would say he didn’t care about them after the movie was finished.

"Mr. Shen, are you coming?" Han Deming asked expectantly.

"If everyone is going, I’ll join in the fun too," Shen Dong said with a smile.

Gemstone gambling was something he had never tried.

He had acquired an antique appraisal skill, allowing him to determine the authenticity of antiques.

However, he didn’t know if this skill would be of any use when it came to jadeite raw stones.

Logically speaking, jadeite raw stones were also treasures, so the antique appraisal skill should be useful.

Of course, the specifics would only be known once he tried it on the spot.

"Haha, I knew you’d be interested," Han Deming laughed heartily.

Shen Dong’s appraisal skills were genuinely without question.

The first time they met, he had identified the dynasty and age of Han’s teapot on the spot.

This ability was not something common even among master appraisers.

Subsequent events proved this point.

Shen Dong had stumbled upon "The Beacon Fire Map" and made a quick thirty million.

He really envied him.
