Chapter 140: Chapter 140: It’s Necessary to Teach Him a Lesson

“Mr. Xue, I know the rights for ‘War Panther’ are in your hands and the rights for ‘War Panther 2’ are going to be too. I want you to hand over the rights for both movies to me,” Xu Yang said.

“Okay,” Xue Zhanhua agreed without even thinking about it.

To tell the truth, he didn’t particularly care about the rights to these two movies; he didn’t think they would make much money.

If it would satisfy Xu Yang, he was willing to give them up.

“And the second condition?” Xue Zhanhua asked.

“The second condition is that the Starlight Film and Television Company must not participate in the investment for ‘War Panther 2,’” Xu Yang said indifferently.

“What did you say?” The expression on Bi Guanghui’s face, the boss of Starlight Film and Television Company, changed immediately.

If they couldn’t participate in the investment for ‘War Panther 2’, that would be a huge loss.

It could be said that if Xu Yang insisted on ousting Starlight Film and Television, other bigwigs would definitely agree for the sake of their own interests.

“Mr. Xu, why are you targeting Starlight Film and Television Company? I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?” Bi Guanghui said in a deep voice.

He couldn’t understand why Xu Yang was doing this.

The others were also exchanging glances, equally puzzled.

Could it be that there was some bad blood between Xu Yang and Bi Guanghui?

But judging by what Bi Guanghui said, there didn’t seem to be any issues.

“Triumph Investment, Chen Guanglei’s dad’s company, is a major shareholder in your Starlight Film and Television, right?” Xu Yang asked.

“Yes, what about it?” Bi Guanghui asked.

“Chen Guanglei once poached a host from my Fengcai Guild and schemed against me. That matter should have been over, after all, whether it was that host, Chen Guanglei, the Jia Sheng Guild, or Triumph Investment, they all faced punishment.”

“However, Chen Guanglei still acted like a foolish clown. At that celebration party, he was prancing around in front of me, and I was really fed up with his behavior; I felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson.”

“If you’re looking for someone to blame, you can only blame him,” Xu Yang explained briefly.

During that celebration, Chen Guanglei was mocking him in front of everyone, which made him very uncomfortable.

He had already decided in his heart that given the chance, he would give Chen Guanglei a hard time.

And now, the opportunity had arisen.

“Mr. Xu, that was Chen Guanglei’s personal behavior. You shouldn’t take your anger out on Starlight Film and Television,” Bi Guanghui said.

“Triumph Investment is just one of the shareholders in Starlight Film and Television, not even the largest one. Our company has other shareholders as well,” he added.

Bi Guanghui felt very aggrieved; just because of that idiotic second-generation rich kid, Chen Guanglei, they would miss the opportunity to invest in ‘War Panther 2’. It was truly heartbreaking.

“I’m sorry, but that’s not my problem. In any case, if you’re not pulling out, then ‘War Panther 2’ won’t be happening,” Xu Yang said indifferently.

The other film and television moguls exchanged looks and communicated with their eyes.

They quickly came to a unanimous decision.

“Mr. Bi, for this investment, your Starlight Film and Television should perhaps sit this one out. We can collaborate on other opportunities in the future,” Xue Zhanhua spoke up first.

“Right, right, Mr. Bi, we can collaborate on other opportunities in the future,” another echoed.

“Mr. Bi, I actually think Mr. Xu is right. If we’re to blame someone, it should be that Chen Guanglei. I’ve heard about him; he’s arrogant because he’s the son of Triumph Investment’s boss, looks down on everyone, and is quite annoying. He’s got a really bad reputation among the circle of rich second-generation kids,” yet another added.

“Put yourself in our shoes, if there were such an annoying person prancing around in front of us, chances are we would do the same as Mr. Xu, or perhaps even go further than Xu Yang has,” they continued.

The other film and television bigwigs all spoke up in turn.

“President Xu, are you really going to do this?” Bi Guanghui said with a grave voice.

“Yes, if you feel disgruntled, feel free to retaliate against me, and we’ll see if you can withstand my counterattack,” Xu Yang said with an air of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Bi Guanghui’s face changed.

He would not dare to take action against Xu Yang unless he had gone mad.

Even Hua’an Film and Television couldn’t withstand Xu Yang’s counterattack, let alone Starlight Film and Television Company.

Those shareholders would probably not want to become enemies with Xu Yang either.

People like Xu Yang should at least not be turned into enemies, if not friends.

The responsibility for this issue lies with Chen Guanglei, so the only thing to do is to report it truthfully and see what the major shareholders have to say.

“President Xu, you must be joking. This issue is Chen Guanglei’s fault, how could we possibly retaliate against you?” Bi Guanghui forced a smile onto his face.

“That’s good to hear. I’m a reasonable man; I don’t trouble others unless they trouble me, and if they do, I will certainly retaliate!” Xu Yang declared his principle in dealing with matters.

He now had ample power to say these words, and he was surely as good as his word.

With his hacker skills and the Fengcai Guild as his weapon for publicity, he could counter any adversary, truly with a position of strength.

“Gentlemen, I’ll take my leave first,” Bi Guanghui stood up and left.

Now that he had been kicked out, there was no point in staying.

These people would definitely be discussing other matters.

“President Xu, is there anything else?” Xue Zhanhua asked.

“No, nothing more,” Xu Yang shook his head.

His aims had been achieved; of course, there were no more issues.

“President Xu, I hope you won’t expose any more of our company’s dirty laundry, we are really struggling here,” Xue Zhanhua said.

Just yesterday, that young star had been blacklisted, and the regulatory department had spoken out, stating that artists like P are absolutely intolerable.

They even issued a ten million yuan fine to Hua’an Film and Television, resulting in substantial losses for the company.

The major shareholder had phoned to question him, and if it hadn’t been for his assurance that a reconciliation had been reached with Xu Yang and no further scandals would be released, his position as CEO would have been jeopardized.

“President Xue, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I haven’t released any scandalous information about your company,” Xu Yang wouldn’t admit to such a thing, something that just could not be acknowledged, even if everyone knew he was behind it.

“All right, in any case, we have come to a resolution on this matter, and there won’t be any further unpleasantness between us, right?” Xue Zhanhua, the cunning fox, knew Xu Yang’s thoughts and simply changed his approach.

“Of course, as long as you don’t infringe on my legitimate rights, there will be no unpleasantness between us,” Xu Yang indirectly made a pledge.

“That’s good to hear,” Xue Zhanhua had no choice but to trust Xu Yang.

Trusting in Xu Yang’s character, since he had made a promise, he wouldn’t act recklessly.

“Your Fengcai Guild is so powerful, I hope you can continue to promote War Panther 2 in the future. That would be beneficial for everyone,” Xue Zhanhua said.

“Of course, even without your request, I would do so anyway. After all, I’m one of the investors in War Panther 2. We’ll all make money together. I’ll do what I can,” Xu Yang naturally didn’t refuse.

Having the guild’s streamers promote it was just a matter of giving the word.

The success of War Panther, greatly exceeding the system’s forecast of five hundred million in box office, owed much to the Fengcai Guild’s promotional efforts.

The system had estimated that War Panther 2 would gross fifty billion, but with the Fengcai Guild’s promotions, the box office should be even higher.

The higher the box office, the more he would earn.
