Chapter 156: Chapter 156 He’s Going to Take a Big Fall_1

"Honey, no matter what you do, I’ll always support you," Chen Yuyan said, waving her small fists.

"I know," Shen Dong smiled.

The two of them prepared to get in the car and leave.

"Mr. Shen."

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Turning around, they saw Wu Jin running out.

"Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, it’s my lack of ability that prevented me from being able to help you," Wu Jin said with a face full of apology as he approached Shen Dong.

"Mr. Wu, you’re taking it too seriously. It’s just that what I’m about to do might affect the progress of The Battle Tiger 2, so I owe you an apology," Shen Dong said, and took the opportunity to explain his upcoming plans which would impact the preparation of The Battle Tiger.

The Battle Tiger was Wu Jin’s hard work, and he was the last person who wanted to see anything go wrong with it.

In this matter, Wu Jin wasn’t at fault; it was just that he had been swept along by capital.

Even though Wu Jin was now a distinguished director at the film festival, and many heavyweights wanted to work with him on their movies,

In front of powerful capital, Wu Jin still felt insignificant.

There were many things Wu Jin was powerless to change.

"Mr. Shen, don’t apologize. Without you, there would be no today for me. Regarding The Battle Tiger 2 that’s about to be prepared, do whatever you want to do. Don’t worry about me. What shames me is that I couldn’t help you," Wu Jin said earnestly.

"As long as you understand, there’s no need to feel ashamed. We are friends," Shen Dong said with a smile.

After chatting a bit more, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan got in the car and left.

In the car.

Chen Yuyan asked, "Honey, what are you planning to do?"

Shen Dong smiled, "It’s a secret for now; you’ll find out when the time comes."

Chen Yuyan rolled her eyes, "Keep secrets from others, but also from your wife?"

Shen Dong laughed, "I’m just giving you something to look forward to."

Chen Yuyan pouted, "I don’t want suspense, I want to know now."

"Alright," Shen Dong laughed, "I will first assemble a legal team, have them sue Jiahua Film and Television, and then..."

Shen Dong shared his plan.

The more Chen Yuyan listened, the brighter her eyes got. After hearing it all, she couldn’t help but laugh, "Honey, with your combination of moves coming down, that Zhu Zhiyong will definitely not be able to withstand it, and in the end, he’ll have to meekly accept your investment."

...

The celebration party ended.

Chen Yuting and Liu Chao left the hotel.

"Yuting, while we were eating, I asked Mr. Tan and completely understood why Shen Dong left early," Liu Chao said with a smile.

"What reason?" Chen Yuting asked.

"Just like I guessed, Shen Dong didn’t get the investment for The Battle Tiger 2, and left in a huff," Liu Chao said.

"When that guy invested in The Battle Tiger, he signed a priority investment agreement with Wu Jin, which stated that if Wu Jin prepared The Battle Tiger 2, he would have to take 40 percent of the investment quota."

"He thought that with this investment agreement, he could command a 40 percent investment quota. But in the end, those film industry tycoons didn’t care about him at all and were only willing to give him a 10 percent quota," Liu Chao said, clearly enjoying Shen Dong’s misfortune.

As long as something bad happened to Shen Dong, he was happy.

"He has that priority investment agreement, and others still don’t give him his investment share?" Chen Yuting asked curiously.

She was somewhat confused by the situation.

Logically, if there’s an agreement, they should follow it.

"Yuting, you’re too naive. For those tycoons, a contract isn’t worth much at all, and there are plenty of ways they can get around it," Liu Chao said.

"To them, Shen Dong holding that investment agreement is almost like holding scrap paper. The tycoons giving Shen Dong a 10 percent investment quota is already a favor."

"He wasn’t satisfied though, insisting on 40 percent, and in the end, he’ll end up with nothing."

Liu Chao could already imagine the final outcome, and Shen Dong would definitely end up with nothing.

"Is that so," Chen Yuting pondered thoughtfully.

Through this matter, her trust in the credibility of Liu Chao’s words had somewhat been restored.

"Shen Dong is really ungrateful. This time he’s going to take a big fall, haha," Liu Chao laughed heartily, feeling exceptionally happy inside.

...

In the blink of an eye, March 16th arrived.

Shuidilao’s store in Jing City opened.

As for Guang City and Shen City, the openings would be slightly delayed.

That day, Shen Dong and Chen Yuanxiang took a plane to Jing City to attend the opening ceremony of Shuidilao.

The opening was a sensation, with long queues outside every store.

The news of the opening even soared to the top of the hot search lists.

After attending the opening ceremony, Shen Dong and Chen Yuanxiang returned to Hai City.

The next day, as soon as Shen Dong woke up, he heard the system’s notification sound.

[Ding! The National Copyright Bureau will issue strict measures to crack down on all kinds of piracy in forty-five days. The demand for legitimate works on major domestic websites will greatly increase. The details will be sent to the host’s email, please check it.]

Shen Dong immediately got out of bed, turned on his computer, and checked his emails.

The more he read, the more excited he became.

Currently, all sorts of piracy were rampant. Whether it was movies, TV shows, music, or novels, they could be found on piracy websites.

This resulted in the prices for various copyrights being too low, seriously impacting the creators’ passion to create.

According to the email, following the actions of the National Copyright Bureau, the prices for copyrights in film, television, music, and other fields were expected to increase fiftyfold.

If he bought the copyright for various movies and music now, he would make a fortune in no time.

To acquire a large number of these copyrights, acting as an individual wouldn’t suffice; he had to register a company.

Shen Dong didn’t plan to establish a copyright company himself, instead opting to acquire an existing one. This would save time and effort, and he could continue to be a hands-off owner.

He immediately started searching for information online and quickly found that many copyright companies were looking to be acquired.

In an era where piracy prevailed, the performance of most copyright companies was very poor.

It could be said that just managing to survive and make a slight profit was already considered good in the industry.

In the end, Shen Dong set his sights on a copyright company called Lixing.

This company was an old brand in the copyright business, owning the rights to over five thousand films and TV dramas, as well as a large number of novels and music, ranking second in the industry.

Even as the second-ranking company in the industry, its performance was not very good.

The boss no longer wanted to keep running it and was planning to sell.

But selling wasn’t so easy; no one was actually willing to acquire it.

After all, there was no profit to be made.

Acquiring a company that hardly made any profit each year and might even incur losses—who would want to buy it?

This was a big source of frustration for the boss, Xu Fei.

He really didn’t want to waste any more time on this.

To be honest, he could make more money working outside than being this kind of boss.

That day, Xu Fei sat in his office, thinking about how to sell the company.

The company had been established for over ten years, with a lot of money invested in acquiring a vast array of copyrights for films, novels, and music, achieving second place in the industry.

But it was of little use; he still wasn’t making much money.

The ambition he had when he started the company was now gone.

He just wanted to sell it quickly, shed the burden, recoup the investment, and possibly invest in other projects, which might even allow him to open a new Chapter in his career.

Otherwise, he would be completely hung up in this industry.

However, there was nobody willing to acquire it.

Two people had come to take a look, but after seeing the company’s dismal financial statements, they left without a backward glance, and no further news came from them.
