Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 391: Director Cheng Sicheng

In the minds of many new generation Germans, Germany is actually not a concept of a nation, but a geographical concept.

You can say you’re German outside, or you can say you’re a Berliner or from another city.

This is because after the end of World War II, to prevent extreme ideologies from reappearing, Germany made changes in everything from textbooks to social concepts.

This has led the younger generation in Germany to understand the word "Germany" more as the region they were born in, rather than a homeland requiring loyalty.

In fact, patriotism is strictly prohibited from being spread in Germany.

When East and West Germany merged, what West Germany was most wary of in East Germany was East Germany’s national anthem.

Because East Germany’s anthem sang of patriotism, while West Germany’s anthem only mentioned justice and freedom.

In Germany, whether in the countryside or towns, there are no German flags.

Even in front of German government agencies there are no flags, and even where flags are required, the national flag is mixed among the EU flag and other flags.

In Germany, if you say you love Berlin, everyone will praise you. But if you say you love Germany, others will suspect you of having some extreme ideology.

Schaefer guessed Chen Yiyang’s intentions, so he had no psychological burden about what he was going to do.

If the German military doesn’t give him a commission, and others do, he works for others.

Very reasonable.

This is how our capital market works, only talking about money, not emotions.

Besides, Schaefer was still the reasonable party.

"Let’s discuss a fixed price." Chen Yiyang could not give Schaefer a commission based on the total price of the contract for six retired submarines.

"Okay." Schaefer agreed decisively, so the two immediately began to argue about how much the commission should be set.

A week later.

Chen Yiyang received the team flying from domestic to Thailand at Bangkok airport.

"I’ve already bought the Rayong Automobile Factory. Your most important task is to supervise the people from General Motors and prevent them from causing trouble during the transfer of the factory."

"Understood, Mr. Chen." The team leader quickly nodded.

When they first joined Yiyang Automobile, they only thought Yiyang Automobile was a potential new energy vehicle company.

But now, with Chen Yiyang having acquired the Rayong Automobile Factory, Yiyang Automobile, which hadn’t officially started selling cars, already owned three overseas automobile manufacturing plants.

This equates to Yiyang Automobile also having three overseas markets.

The prospects are excellent.

As long as the first model doesn’t fall short, it is bound to take off.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of these people’s work gradually increased.

After sending off the team members, Chen Yiyang also met someone at the airport.

That was Yang Ning, the current boss of Marte Bubble.

A lot happened within this week.

First, Schaefer in Germany contacted someone and exposed that the German military was preparing to retire six German submarines early and sell them to Thailand.

This led to the media publishing this information, after which the Thai military immediately terminated its cooperation with Germany.

Because the risk was too great, Thailand didn’t need to take this risk.

Additionally, Changcheng gave up on acquiring the Rayong Automobile Factory, leaving Chen Yiyang as the only buyer for the factory.

After slightly lowering the price, Chen Yiyang bought the Rayong Manufacturing Plant.

Oh, and Marte Bubble’s first store in Bangkok opened.

Chen Yiyang originally planned to deal with this matter after handling other issues.

Who knew that shortly after he bought the Rayong manufacturing plant, Rabbi called, saying that the person obstructing the opening of Marte Bubble’s Bangkok store hoped Rabbi could serve as an intermediary to convey an apology.

And suggested that Marte Bubble’s Bangkok store could open immediately.

So Chen Yiyang told Yang Ning the news, and Yang Ning also took it very seriously, directly flying to Bangkok, preparing to stay in Bangkok on the first day of the store’s opening to observe the store’s revenue situation.

After hosting Yang Ning and arranging a hotel for him, Chen Yiyang also received a call from the head of his brokerage company.

"Sure, I have time. Give me the restaurant address, and I’ll go there."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiyang told the driver not to go back to the hotel yet, but to head to a restaurant.

Soon, the car carrying Chen Yiyang stopped in front of a private upscale restaurant.

A few figures had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Chen, you are really giving us face." A man helped open the car door, continually greeting Chen Yiyang.

"Director Cheng, you’re too kind. I’m also part of the entertainment circle. A big director like you invites me to dinner; of course, I must come."

Chen Yiyang shook hands and greeted the man in front of him.

Cheng Sicheng, a domestic director with over a billion box office takings.

His Detective Chinatown series’ third part was currently a hit in the domestic market, grossing over three billion in just a few days.

However, at this time, there was another movie’s box office revenue comparable to his Detective Chinatown III.

That was Jia Lin’s first movie, Hi, Mom, which Chen Yiyang previously guaranteed a bottom line of 1.5 billion. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Together, these two movies’ box office revenues were approaching ten billion, making them the hottest movies in the domestic market.

Because of this high box office, Jia Lin had called Chen Yiyang several times over the past few days.

Although the calls were about the movie box office situation, Chen Yiyang knew what she was really thinking.

But Chen Yiyang only agreed to give the director and several important actors a bonus after the final box office results were confirmed.

Aside from that, nothing else.

He picked this up because of an advantage and naturally wouldn’t make further concessions.

After all, a guaranteed box office of 1.5 billion, besides him, no one else could offer it.

Certainly, one can’t expect both stable income and box office revenue sharing, can they?

"I’m just a director who got lucky. The films you invested in, they’re the real treasures."

Cheng Sicheng invited Chen Yiyang into the restaurant’s private room, constantly flattering him.

Upon arriving in the private room, Chen Yiyang found celebrity Xu Baoqiang inside.

"Hello, I always enjoyed watching you and Director Cheng’s Soldiers Sortie in the past."

Chen Yiyang shook hands and greeted Xu Baoqiang as well.

Within the film and television industry, there are particularly tight-knit circles, and Cheng Sicheng and Xu Baoqiang have their own small circle, which outsiders typically find difficult to penetrate.

The films and TV series Chen Yiyang previously invested in had little to do with these two.

So when he heard from the head of the brokerage company that Cheng Sicheng was also in Thailand and wanted to invite him for a meal, he was very curious.

Since he was idle anyway, he decided to accept the invitation and give them this face.

After all, whether or not he has a film and TV production department under him, he always invests by picking up opportunities.

If he could collaborate with Cheng Sicheng, he might invest in Cheng’s films and TV shows in the future to make some extra money.
