Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Movie Screening_1

"Yeah, if you don’t experience it yourself, you really can’t believe it."

"This kind of ultimate service, only Mr. Shen could come up with it."

"Mr. Shen, you truly are a business prodigy."

The others echoed in agreement.

This Shuidilao really has boundless prospects.

Once Shuidilao spreads across the country, north and south, it will be a behemoth in the catering industry.

As for Shen Dong’s net worth, who knows what heights it will reach?

"Our Shuidilao’s success lies in its service; this was just a trial, and unexpectedly it really caught fire, which is also due to good luck," said Shen Dong with humility.

As they chatted, the group made their way to Qianda Cinema.

Qianda Cinema is located on the fifth floor of Qianda Plaza.

"Mr. Xu."

Upon entering Qianda Cinema, several of the cinema’s executives came to greet them, having been informed of Xu Caijun’s visit and waiting here for his arrival.

The one leading them was the General Manager of the cinema.

"Is everything arranged?" Xu Caijun asked.

"Yes, everything’s ready. Please follow me."

The cinema’s General Manager led the group to Hall No. 6.

There were already quite a few people there, all invited by the distributor to watch the movie.

There were journalists, social media influencers, stars, and audiences.

Sneak previews are a warm-up for a movie, as well as a form of publicity.

A good movie, after the sneak preview, gets great word of mouth, which spreads and leads to more ticket sales.

The group took their seats in the last row.

Sitting in this position is advantageous for observing the audience’s reactions.

Soon, the movie began.

The entire film lasted a hundred minutes.

After watching, Shen Dong was quite satisfied.

The movie was very exciting, reflecting the determination, will, and capability of Dragon Country’s soldiers in maintaining national security.

"This is different from previous military action movies, very thrilling," someone remarked.

"Yeah, it really gets your blood pumping."

"This is the best domestic military action film I have ever seen."

"This could very well become the dark horse of the New Year’s season."

"I must give ’The Battle Tiger’ a good promotion, letting more audiences see this movie."

"I really hope that domestically there will be more suitable directors and actors to make such movies."

The audience was buzzing with their discussions, clearly pleased with the film.

The group listened to the audience’s comments and all wore satisfied smiles.

They were there not just to watch the movie, but also to see the reaction of the audience.

It was evident that the comments were genuine.

This made them even more confident about the movie’s box office potential.

The group walked out of the screening room.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think, can ’The Battle Tiger’ be shown in Qianda Cinemas Chain?" Shen Dong asked with a smile.

"Of course, it can," Xu Caijun immediately replied. "Previously, I thought this movie was just another one of those trashy military action films, which is why I refused."

He looked at Wu Jin: "Mr. Wu, your ’The Battle Tiger’ showed me a different kind of domestic military action film, rest assured, our Qianda Cinemas Chain will definitely fully support ’The Battle Tiger’."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu," Wu Jin said with delighted gratitude.

"Mr. Wu, there’s no need for such formality," Xu Caijun said with a smile and a dismissive wave of his hand.

Actually, even if the movie wasn’t good, with Shen Dong’s say-so, he would have allowed ’The Battle Tiger’ to be shown in Qianda Cinema. If the reviews turned out bad, he could always reduce the number of screenings or pull it entirely, and Shen Dong wouldn’t be able to complain.

Now that he saw how good the film was, he naturally wanted to support it, which was also support for Shen Dong.

Based on his experience, ’The Battle Tiger’ had a strong chance of becoming the dark horse of the New Year’s film season.

Increasing the screenings for ’The Battle Tiger’ was also a way to make money for Qianda Cinemas Chain.

It was a win-win situation.

After leaving Qianda Plaza, the group went their separate ways and departed.

Shen Dong first took Chen Yuanxiang home, then returned home with Chen Yuyan.

On the way, he received a call from an unknown number.

Shen Dong answered the phone and heard a voice, "Mr. Shen, this is Du Zhenqi."

"Mr. Du, what can I do for you?" Shen Dong asked.

Two minutes later, Shen Dong hung up the call.

"Is that the Du Zhenqi from Splendid Film and Television? What did he want?" Chen Yuyan asked.

"He says he wants to buy shares in our Shuidilao," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"And what did you say?" Chen Yuyan asked.

"Of course I refused, Shuidilao is growing too fast for just anyone to buy in," Shen Dong replied.

"That’s true, and even looking for investors has to be done cautiously," Chen Yuyan nodded in agreement.

Recently, a lot of people have wanted to buy shares, but my husband has not agreed; it can’t be that easy for someone to buy in

The next day.

Shen Dong was resting at home and did not go to the company.

Almost at noon, he received a call from Deng Lei of Dongshan Gold Company.

"Mr. Shen, is now a good time to talk?" Deng Lei asked.

"It’s fine, go ahead," Shen Dong replied.

"Mr. Shen, the thing is, after a high-level meeting at Dongshan Gold Company, we’ve decided to offer you 750 million," Deng Lei said.

"Mr. Deng, this isn’t like shopping for clothes on the street where you can just cut my price in half. Do you think that’s appropriate?" Shen Dong said with a cold laugh.

"Mr. Shen, this gold mine does indeed contain a lot of gold, but extracting it will incur high costs. The price I’ve quoted isn’t low," Deng Lei explained.

"It seems Dongshan Gold Company has no sincerity whatsoever. I’d better talk to other companies then. Goodbye," Shen Dong abruptly ended the call.

He had already spread the news of the gold discovery in the mine.

People had been contacting him since this morning, including companies from abroad.

Dongshan’s offer of 750 million was simply unacceptable to him.

It was even less than the eight hundred million mentioned by the system.

Besides, even if Deng Lei had offered him eight hundred million, he wouldn’t have agreed.

He believed it could sell for even more.

During his time in Africa, he had consulted with Duan Jinnian, who told him not to sell for less than one billion.

Although he wasn’t sure about getting more, he was certain that someone would still buy it at a price of one billion.

His bottom line was one billion, the more the merrier.

Now, to think someone could snatch up the project for just 750 million was nothing but wishful thinking.

...

Xijiang Gold Company.

The General Manager’s office.

Upon hearing the deputy general manager’s report that the gold mine in Ghana had struck gold with a not-so-small reserve, General Manager Sun Yang’s face turned very ugly.

"There really was gold, and they found it so quickly."

At that time, Duan Jinnian had confidently claimed there would definitely be gold.

The executives at Xijiang Gold Company were divided into two factions; one wanted to transfer the project to stop further losses rather than continue investing and risking greater losses.

The other faction insisted on continuing to mine, believing gold would be found, convinced that it was only a matter of them not having found it yet.

The two factions argued incessantly, and they could only go along with Sun Yang’s decision.

After much consideration, Sun Yang decided to transfer the project.

Now, hearing that the very mine had produced gold and the exact location had been found, he felt as if his whole world had collapsed.

"According to the data gathered, the gold reserve in the mine is astonishing. That newcomer, Shen Dong, approached Dongshan Gold Company and asked for 1.5 billion," he was told.

1.5 billion!

The moment Sun Yang heard this number, he almost passed out.

Keep in mind, Shen Dong had only spent thirty million to take over the project.

And in just a short time, he was asking 1.5 billion to sell it.

If the board of directors learned about this, his position would undoubtedly be in jeopardy.

Furthermore, given the magnitude of the issue, it was certain the board members would already be informed.

With this thought, Sun Yang suddenly felt short of breath and fainted.

"Mr. Sun, what’s wrong with you, Mr. Sun, don’t scare me, oh my god, someone help!"

The deputy general manager, who was reporting, was shocked.

Mr. Sun’s ability to cope seemed far too fragile.
