Chapter 132: Borrowing Money and Three Days

  When the second day, Hong Xiaopian drove his "black blood" to Guo Xiaoyu's house downstairs, Guo Xiaoyu knew that in Xiangcheng, Hong Xiaopian was indeed a tyrant. From last night's 10:30 phone call to this morning's 6:30, not even an hour had passed, he found the location of Guo Xiaoyu's home, thinking about it, he must have used his connections upstairs.

  Actually, Guo Xiaoyu really thought it was complicated. Indeed! It's easy to find Guo Xiaoyu's family by moving up the relationship, but now that Guo Xiaoyu is an online sensation, it's not easy to find his family, there are too many online. Cough...

  Hong Xiaopian leaned against his black car, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and said to Guo Xiaoyu, "How's that? My car isn't bad, is it?"

  Guo Xiaoyu looked at the car carefully, then looked at the person, nodded and said: "Not bad..."

  Hong Xiaopian was about to boast a few words, but Guo Xiaoyu said again: "The car is indeed more handsome than the person!"

  "I...". At this moment, Hong Xiaopian's feeling was like being suddenly stopped in his tracks, the more he thought about it, the more unbearable it became.

  It was actually the first time Guo Xiaoyu had seen Hong Xiaopian, previously they only talked on the phone, and he also saw him a few times when video chatting with Li Muyu. His melon-seed face, small eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and short hair made him not particularly handsome! But he looked especially sunny, belonging to that kind of very pleasant-to-look-at type.

  Guo Xiaoyu was observing Hong Xiaopan, and he was also being observed by Guo Xiaoyu. This person was eliminated by such an obvious dark horse yesterday, but this morning he still had the mood to make jokes with himself. Either this person is heartless or has a big heart. A heartless person cannot write such sentimental songs, so Hong Xiaopan thought that Guo Xiaoyu had a big heart.

  "Let's go find somewhere to sit down, I have something to talk to you about."

  "All aboard."

  The two of them found a teahouse and sat down. Since no one would come to the teahouse for tea so early in the morning, there was only the two of them inside besides a few waiters.

  "Go on, what's the matter? Is it about dealing with those people behind the TV station? Don't worry, I love doing this kind of exciting thing. Just wait for my good news." The guy said and was really ready to leave.

  "Stop, stop, stop..." Guo Xiaoyu hastily pulled him and said, "You just calm down a bit. What are you doing getting involved in the commotion upstairs? I came to find you today for something else."

  "What's up? Are you going to switch companies or something? No problem, I'll take care of it. I'll get in touch with them right away..." He said, and then he was about to leave again.

  "We can't have a good conversation anymore, right? Alright, I'll call Mu Yu over." As he spoke, Guo Xiaoyu prepared to make the call. This guy was usually arrogant and uncooperative, but for some reason, he was completely intimidated by Li Muyu!

  "Shut up. You're saying, you're saying... it's already weird enough that we came to the teahouse so early, and on top of that, you brought a big man along. Don't you see all the little sisters staring at us?"

  Guo Xiaoyu looked around and indeed found it quite strange. So he said directly, "Xiao Pian, I'm looking for you to borrow money."

  "Borrow money?" Hong Xiaopian was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said: "Okay, how much to borrow."

  "Seventy million."

  "Alright." Hong Xiaopian subconsciously responded, then suddenly realized something was off and asked in surprise: "Seven hundred million? What do you need that much for?"

  "After special effects." Then Guo Xiaoyu told him about his plan. Today, Guo Xiaoyu found Hong Xiaopian to solve the 50 million funding gap for himself. The remaining 20 million was invested half in the development of the studio and subsequent investment, and the other half had another use.

  After listening to Guo Xiaoyu's words, Hong Xiaopian took a deep breath and said: "Xiaoyu, do you know that what you're doing is like dancing on the tip of a knife, where one misstep will lead to a crushing defeat. And once defeated, there will be no chance for redemption."

  "I know, but I have to go!" Guo Xiaoyu said firmly: "No matter what, I must go!"

  Hong Xiaopian stared blankly at Guo Xiaoyu for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll lend you 800 million. In five years, you have to pay me back 1 billion. If not, you'll have to sell your special effects company to me. How about it?"

  "Agreed!" Guo Xiaoyu responded without hesitation. The company was formed, and not to mention one billion, even ten billion, Guo Xiaoyu had the confidence to pay it back. Moreover, if five years later, they couldn't even recover a profit of one billion, then Guo Xiaoyu's plan would be considered a complete failure, and the special effects company was destined to be sold off.

  "Alright, give me your bank account number, the money will be transferred in three days." After getting Guo Xiaoyu's bank account number, Hong Xiaopan hastily left.

  Three days later, Guo Xiaoyu received a transfer of 80 million! However, since then, Guo Xiaoyu never saw Hong Xiaopian's "Black Blood" again. Many years later, Guo Xiaoyu learned from Hong Xiaoxun that Hong Xiaopian not only sold his Black Blood but also all his beloved cars and two villas under his own name. Later, this matter was discovered by his father, who asked him about the whereabouts of the money, and he insisted that he had lost it in a gamble to pay off debts. Since the money was transferred from an account that no one knew, his father couldn't investigate further.

  Guo Xiaoyu was even more puzzled, considering the economic strength of Hong Xiaopian's family, one hundred million wasn't a lot! Why did he want to sell his car? Hong Xiaoxun told him that all the money in Hong Xiaopian's account had records, if he transferred it out, Guo Xiaoyu's account would be frozen in minutes, and ultimately Guo Xiaoyu wouldn't get a single penny.

  Guo Xiaoyu, who knew the truth about the matter, didn't say a word. He made a film called "Three Days" to record this period of Hong Xiaopiao's life. Without grand scenes, special effects or massive investment, it relied solely on the intense inner conflicts of the protagonist and the setbacks he faced in raising funds, making "Three Days" a dark horse in the Chinese-language film industry that year, and also catapulting the newcomer who played Hong Xiaopiao to stardom.

  When Hong Xiaoping saw this film, he was stunned. At the end of the movie, when the rolling credits introduced the original story, Hong Xiaoping's tears flowed uncontrollably. When the last line "To my good friend Hong Xiaoping" appeared, Hong Xiaoping had already sobbed uncontrollably.

  ……

  While Hong Xiaopian and Guo Xiaoyu were talking, Qian Wenqi and Lu Shan, who were far away in San Francisco, had already arrived at the airport, ready to return home today.

  A burly man hugged Qian Wenqi and said, "Qian, do you really have to go back to China? We still have many plans that haven't been carried out. We can make a movie even better than 'Avatar'."

  "No, no, no." Qian Wenqi shook his head repeatedly: "Lucas, you should know that with the current level of technology, Avatar is already a peak. If we want to break through, who knows how many years it will take? Moreover, this time I returned home because I received a call from the country, and I am going back to study cosmic spaceships, yes, the kind in Star Wars."

  "Money, you're really something else. Alright, for the sake of the spaceship, I won't stop you either."

  "Haha, Lucas, wait till I finish building my spaceship, I'll definitely come visit you."

  "Alright, it's settled then!"

  “OK！”

  Lu Xiang watched from the side, rolling her eyes, one was talking nonsense and the other was following along with his nonsense. Sometimes Lu Xiang really thought these two idiots should get married!

  After sending Lucas away, Qian Wenqi said to Lu Xiang with a smug expression: "See, this big fool was fooled by me and became stunned. Am I not very powerful, your husband?"

  "Wow, amazing! Extremely stupid!" After finishing speaking, Lu Xiang didn't leave Qian Wenqi and led the way into the boarding gate.

  "This shrew, three days without a beating, I'll tear off the roof tiles! Just wait and see how I'll deal with her when I return to China." Of course, Qian Wengui's words are just nonsense when he's ill, everyone can just listen and not take it seriously.

  Asking for a leave is like owing him millions, are you willing to do that?! Wait until I quit and see where he goes to find someone as cheap as me! Comrades of the Feathered Wings Legion, explode tomorrow, please recommend, collect and triple ticket!
