Chapter 497

Regrettably, when she became famous for *Palace*, Lin Yi was still a high school student whose heart was entirely set on his studies.

He hadn't watched it at all.

Therefore, in the eyes of the current Lin Yi, Yang Mi

was just a female celebrity with good looks and high popularity.

Of course, that cleavage and those beautiful legs were still quite attractive.

Watching Yang Mi finish a glass of wine in one go, Lin Yi smiled and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. Seeing Pang Di and I are friends, and since you are a good friend of hers,

and you've come all the way to Shanghai, as the host, I naturally have to show some hospitality..."

Hearing this, Seeing Pang Di looked delighted.

"Then, Mr. Lin, I'll toast you as well!"

After saying that, she also drank a glass of red wine straight down.

"Alright, don't just focus on drinking. Come, eat. The food at this two-star Michelin restaurant is quite good.

The head chef is the famous Hong Kong chef Deng Zhiqiang...!"

Lin Yi introduced.

Consequently, Yang Mi and Seeing Pang Di tasted a little bit.

To their surprise, the taste was indeed very delicious.

Especially Seeing Pang Di, because her fame wasn't high yet and her status wasn't quite there.

When she was on set, she only ate slightly better-than-average staff meals.

Compared to this two-star Michelin, the difference in taste was simply too vast.

"This is so delicious!"

Seeing Pang Di belonged to the type who couldn't stop once she tasted good food.

"If you like it, eat more. If it's not enough, just ask the waiter to add more dishes!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

He quite liked girls who didn't put on airs in front of him.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Seeing Pang Di said with a smile.

On the other side, Yang Mi only took a light sip, then poured another glass of red wine and said:

"Mr. Lin, let's have a drink!"

Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and said, "Alright!"

Then, the two clinked glasses, the wine glasses emitting a pleasant sound.

Following that, with Yang Mi chiming in, the conversation opened up.

"Mr. Lin, what hobbies do you have in your spare time!?" Yang Mi asked.

Lin Yi said, "Running, maybe working out!"

"Mr. Lin works out too? I work out often as well; I like the exercise bike and the elliptical machine!"

"Oh, no wonder Miss Yang has such a great figure!"

"Sigh, I've already given birth to a child; how could I possibly catch Mr. Lin's eye!"

"Haha, you're joking. Miss Yang is still very beautiful and moving!"

Hearing Lin Yi's compliment, a happy smile appeared on Yang Mi's face.

After all, as long as she is a woman, who wouldn't like being complimented by a young, handsome man?

"Mr. Lin is joking. A man like Mr. Lin must have seen all sorts of beautiful women; I am merely of average appearance!"

"Miss Yang, you are too modest. By the way, I heard Miss Yang's husband is also an actor!"

"My husband, he is a Hong Kong actor, but compared to you, Mr. Lin, he is far behind!"

Yang Mi said.

(PS: New book, seeking flowers, seeking tips, seeking evaluation tickets. Your support is the author's motivation!).

Chapter 223: Seeing Pang Di, Who Offers Herself

Hearing Yang Mi speak of her husband in such a way, Lin Yi guessed that the couple must have had some conflicts.

However, he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Yang Mi saw the time was right and asked:

"Mr. Lin, what is your take on the entertainment industry?"

"The entertainment industry?" Lin Yi paused for a moment, then said:

"Thanks to the take-off of the Dragon Nation's economy and the influx of massive hot money, in my view, the scale of the entertainment industry will only grow larger.

It has great potential!"

In reality, don't let the fact that he is in the industrial sector fool you.

He still had some insight into the current domestic economic situation.

Pan-entertainment began to prevail.

Looking at the data,

around 2008, with the rapid growth of the Dragon Nation's film box office revenue, the audience's demand for entertainment content was also rising.

During this period, capital began to perceive the potential of the entertainment market more keenly, thus becoming willing to pay higher prices for celebrity commercial performances.

Last year, the salaries of many young actors had already reached as high as 100 million yuan.

This was unimaginable ten years ago.

"Oh, so Mr. Lin is also bullish on the entertainment industry!" Yang Mi's eyes lit up.

She felt that since the richest man in Shanghai was bullish on the entertainment industry, the difficulty of getting him to invest would be much smaller.

She was most afraid that Lin Yi was actually someone who knew nothing about the entertainment industry.

However, looking at it now, he truly deserved to be someone who could build such a business at a young age;

his vision indeed had its superior aspects.

"Then, does Mr. Lin have any thoughts on investing in the entertainment industry!?"

Yang Mi said.

"Investing!?" Lin Yi sized her up, then smiled: "Miss Yang, if you have something to say, just say it directly!"

"This...!"

Hearing the other party say this, Yang Mi pondered for a moment, then said:

"Since Mr. Lin has put it this way, I will be direct. My main purpose in accompanying Seeing Pang Di to Shanghai this time is to get to know Mr. Lin, and the other is to seek investment!"

Consequently, she proceeded to tell the story of Jiaxing.

Hearing her recount the story, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he was actually quite interested in the entertainment industry.

If nothing else, this industry was definitely a very good way to launder money.

After all, Lin Yi had over 50 billion USD overseas that was difficult to bring back into the country.

However, even so, he couldn't just invest in an unfamiliar industry because of a single sentence from Yang Mi.

"Then, what is the valuation and the percentage of financing your company requires?"

Lin Yi asked after a moment.

"For this, we hope Mr. Lin can invest 300 million, and Jiaxing can offer 20% of its shares!"

Yang Mi stated a sky-high price.

"Haha!" Lin Yi laughed:

"This valuation is a bit outrageous, isn't it? If we go by this ratio, the company Miss Yang is currently in has a market value of 1.5 billion. But as Miss Yang said, didn't your company only just form the year before last?"

"Mr. Lin's Fengyi Tech seems to have been formed only last year as well, yet it has already become a leader in the battery and carbon fiber industries, hasn't it?"

Yang Mi asked.

Regarding this, Lin Yi felt a bit of disdain in his heart.

Although Fengyi Tech was indeed formed recently, that was built upon the technology bestowed by the system and his arms trade.

Otherwise, with normal company development, how could a company formed just a year ago expand so quickly?

Of course, he couldn't say these things. ===== CHAPTER 498 =====
