Chapter 462
"Fool?"
Nansun Shi paused and asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, what do you... mean by that?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and raised his chin in the direction of Pei Wencong: "Listen carefully."
At this time, Pei Wencong was talking to several people from the film company, and that Ah Fang was talking eloquently.
"Mr. Pei, our mainland friends told me about your investment amount in the mainland; it really shocked us."
"If it were us making the movie 'The Homecoming,' we wouldn't need to give those country bumpkins so much money. When we filmed 'Shaolin Temple,' all their actors added together only got a few hundred yuan a day."
"We have a professional capital budget mechanism and can make the most professional movies. We hold overseas distribution channels, and they beg us..."
Nansun Shi's face was immediately covered in black lines.
The Hong Kong film and television people of the eighties were at their most glorious and arrogant time. Even when dealing with counterparts across the strait, they often treated people like fools, let alone the backward mainland?
But if a mainlander heard such words in their ears, wouldn't they go on a rampage?
Nansun Shi quietly turned her head to look at Li Ye, but found Li Ye was very calm, without any signs of anger at all.
Li Ye smiled: "What's wrong, Old Pei? So many young girls are lining up to get to know you, and you're so heartless to drive them all away?"
Pei Wencong shook his head: "Mr. Tong doesn't have much face, so he found Mr. Huo to come over. I once went to the Great Hall of the People in the capital with Mr. Huo, so this face... I can't reject it."
Pei Wencong didn't smile but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, just now I received a call. Mr. Tong found someone to come over and mediate. You see..."
Several little beauties who hadn't had time to talk to Pei Wencong were regretting it to death, only hating that they didn't compete hard with the few seniors who were quick-eyed and quick-handed, not even getting a familiar face, and it wasn't easy to create a scandal.
Li Ye naturally didn't need to be angry because he knew the fate of people like Ah Fang in the future.
Li Ye asked in surprise: "Mr. Huo? Mr. Tong has a relationship with him?"
That old bastard is meddling in other people's business; now he's jumping out and wants to mediate? What was he doing earlier?
At first, mainlanders couldn't play the game well, counting on a bunch of Hong Kong stars to pull the box office, but after changing to an all-national lineup once later, they suddenly found they could also make money, and quite a lot of it.
Who the hell is still willing to pinch their nose and not smell the stench?
They indeed don't give mainlanders that much salary, but they give their own people more, and from the director down, any head can fish for money, making the mainland investors curse a group of parasites.
And after Pei Wencong appeared for twenty-something minutes, his butler suddenly walked over and whispered a few words to him.
Then the mainland immediately became "picky," finding an excellent director, and choosing the rest themselves, so Hong Kong inevitably declined.
Because when Hearing Fu Guiru was angry that day, Mr. Tong was in the same group as Ai Zhixin and Fu Guiyin, and later even called the police, so Li Ye hated him too.
Then Pei Wencong said something apologetically to the big shots of the film company, and today's party ended in a hurry.
After everyone dispersed, Pei Wencong walked quickly to Li Ye's side.
"Heh, if you don't want to pay, don't cause trouble!"
Li Ye was somewhat surprised. After Hearing Fu Guiru got angry this morning, Pei Wencong had just formed a legal team. At this moment, it was estimated that they had just reached the stage of a lawyer's letter and hadn't officially clashed yet. How did Fu Guiyin chicken out?
Pei Wencong said: "Mr. Li, in Hong Kong, no one is willing to fight this kind of lawsuit. You fight until you're bankrupt and don't get any benefits."
"That Ms. Fu is just a guest staying at Mr. Tong's house. Mr. Tong definitely won't pay the lawyer's fees for her. Listening to Mr. Tong's meaning, she doesn't want to pay either..."
"Mediate? So fast?"
Li Ye despised him and then asked: "Then what do you mean? Does Mr. Tong have a lot of face in Hong Kong?"
A few years later, the people across the strait who had been played like fools several times didn't care about them anymore, and the Nanyang market also shrank. Ah Fang and these people began to go north one after another to cooperate with the mainland to film movies.
Nansun Shi chatted with Li Ye awkwardly for a few sentences, then tactfully retreated to her own circle.
Pei Wencong said in a deep voice: "When Mr. Tong was young, he should have traveled by water. Mr. Huo was originally a water person, and the two families have some relationship..."
Li Ye nodded slowly: "Then this face must be given, but it can't be let go easily."
If someone else came to mediate today, Li Ye definitely wouldn't agree. If he didn't peel a layer of skin off Fu Guiyin, he couldn't relieve his mother's hatred.
But Mr. Huo's face is not easy not to give.
Pei Wencong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "They are coming over soon. If you don't want to see them..."
Pei Wencong was very afraid of Li Ye getting angry. He had seen Hearing Fu Guiru's angry appearance this morning, so this made him very embarrassed.
But Li Ye said: "Seeing them is fine. I can just watch from the sidelines. Also, be careful not to lead the topic to my mother."
Pei Wencong hurriedly said: "Of course, of course. It was that bitch who slandered me, and it has nothing to do with Ms. Fu, nothing to do with her."
Forty minutes later, a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley arrived in front of the Pei main house.
Mr. Tong, Prince Beile, Ai Zhixin, and Fu Guiyin got out of the Bentley, while from that Rolls-Royce, a middle-aged man and a girl got out.
Li Ye's heart suddenly started to mutter. Are they here to mediate today, or to arrange a marriage?
It's not that Li Ye likes to think too much; it's just that on such a mediation occasion today, why bring a girl of about eighteen?
In addition, Li Ye also verified a legend he had heard in his previous life.
Mr. Huo goes out without bodyguards.
Let's put it this way!
In the eighties and nineties, when Hong Kong's public security was super chaotic, mainland desperadoes such as Zhang Ziqiang and Ye Jihuan took action against major tycoons, robbing, blackmailing, and extorting, and later even directly kidnapped people from the families of tycoons surnamed Li and Guo.
But such awesome desperadoes didn't dare to touch the Huo family's people and business, because these desperate people knew that Mr. Huo was someone who dared to go out without bodyguards even knowing that the intelligence department across the strait wanted to assassinate him.
You guys ponder the doorway in this!
This is also one of the reasons why Pei Wencong said "after going to the Great Hall of the People, whoever wants to move me has to consider it" that day.
Can you be more awesome than the behemoth in the north?
Don't you know how much you weigh? Later, that leader from the Lighthouse Country fell into the sea outside Hong Kong to feed the fish. Desperadoes are desperadoes, after all, just bandits.
Seeing Mr. Huo get out of the car, Pei Wencong also went down the steps to welcome him: "Mr. Huo, please, please sit inside."
"Mr. Pei, don't be polite. We are all acquaintances! Please, please!"
Mr. Huo chatted with Pei Wencong with a smile, and then went up the steps.
Only then did he notice Li Ye.
Li Ye bent over and bowed slightly, expressing his respect.
The old man nodded politely to Li Ye and walked past with a smile.
And Fu Guiyin behind him looked much worse.
She was here to apologize to Pei Wencong today, but never expected Li Ye to be here. The swelling on her face hadn't faded yet! Is she going to be slapped again?
But even Mr. Tong had to follow behind Mr. Huo; how could she, an outsider, dare to go on a rampage on the spot? She could only hold back her anger and enter the living room.
As a result, after entering the living room, she found that Li Ye actually had a seat, and Fu Guiyin's face became even uglier.
Mr. Huo also noticed the anomaly and asked with a smile: "This little brother is a stranger; is he a family member of Mr. Pei?"
【I would like to, but unfortunately, Mr. Li already has classmate Wen.】
Pei Wencong explained: "This is Mr. Li. He also has a name called Seven-Inch Blade. He happened to be at the scene this morning, so he knows who is right and who is wrong."
Mr. Huo's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "I know Seven-Inch Blade! I've read 'Shuofeng Feiyang' and 'Wangxiang Gujun.' In addition, I also know a play called 'Wanderer Returning Home.' It's an honor to meet you today; I didn't expect you to be so young!"
Li Ye nodded with a smile: "I've long heard of Mr. Huo's great name, and I also admire you very much. It's an honor to meet you today."
Seeing Li Ye and Mr. Huo's appearance, Mr. Tong immediately took the opportunity to say: "Hahaha, we are all our own people, so it's easy to talk! I was at the scene this morning and didn't react. It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Mr. Tong's words didn't have that much face.
Li Ye sat back with a cold face, and Pei Wencong didn't answer.
"Hehe, it is indeed a misunderstanding."
Seeing the scene cool down, Prince Beile bit the bullet and interjected: "Actually, this time it counts as my fault. I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen..."
"Everyone also knows that the mainland is currently opening up and needs the support of foreign capital, so I invited Mr. Ai and Ms. Fu to come over and talk about a business with Mr. Tong..."
Prince Beile's words were a bit abrupt, but they fit the minds of Mr. Huo and Pei Wencong, who were concerned about the mainland, and slowly, the atmosphere at the scene actually became active.
But as Li Ye listened, he seemed to understand something.
He looked at Fu Guiyin, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Hehe, he is the prey that fell into the pit, and he doesn't even know it?
Is this selling someone and counting money for them?
