Chapter 188 The arrogant are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate (vote request)

The next day, after Lin Yicheng got up, he was full of energy and had no signs of fatigue from a night of hard work.

The eight delicacies I had yesterday were not eaten in vain, they were useful!

Although Fat Fan didn't get to eat the eight delicacies, he still received some indirect nourishment.

Coupled with the promise of sufficient benefits, people will naturally feel happy and cheerful.

She was so radiant, exuding a charming charm from the inside out.

……

It's already the end of July, and as we enter August, there are still many things to do that cannot be delayed.

We ate what we should eat and drank what we should drink yesterday, and the crew entered the shooting state again.

Chen Jiawei's campus youth drama has been completed, and promotion, distribution and release have become the top issues facing him.

The 1000 million yuan that the coal boss invested had long been squandered, and there was nothing left on the books.

What to do if you have no money?
Chen Jiawei was a coward. He didn't want to do anything about it, or he didn't dare to go to the coal boss again.

Jiang Zhiping was worthy of being a man who had just returned from further studies in Hong Kong Island. He was extremely courageous. He went to find Wang Decai alone and continued to ask for money.

It is true that Wang Decai has a lot of money, but he is not stupid.

His "godsister" was on the crew, and he already knew most of the crew's situations. He also understood that he was probably being cheated.

How could the crew spend 1000 million just on those shabby props and those misshapen things?
Therefore, at the old place, in the KTV, as soon as Wang Decai saw Jiang Zhiping, he gave him a warning.

A dozen burly men lined up in a row, all wearing black suits and black sunglasses.

When Jiang Zhiping saw this scene, the muscles on his face trembled involuntarily and his legs swayed a little.

But he dared to come, so he had his reasons.

……

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean? You have to know that this is a society ruled by law." Jiang Zhiping said, suppressing his fear.

"I came to your side, but many people know about it. Please don't act on impulse and do something bad."

"Haha, I am a civilized person, so I naturally won't do anything uncivilized." Wang Decai smiled wryly.

"But, can Producer Jiang explain to me where the 1000 million was spent? Even if it was wasted, we still have to make a fuss about it."

"Mr. Wang, I want to ask you, has the filming been completed?" Jiang Zhiping asked.

Wang Decai narrowed his eyes, turning the cigar in his hand continuously, and just stared at Jiang Zhiping.

"Let me ask you again, is your godsister the heroine? Does she have enough roles?" Jiang Zhiping asked again.

"Hehe, Producer Jiang, there's no need to say these nonsense. I just want to ask you one thing, where did the money go?" Wang Decai said in a cold tone.

"Part of it was used for filming. The other part was put in my pocket." Jiang Zhiping actually admitted it directly.

Wang Decai was stunned. He thought Jiang Zhiping would use sweet words and make up all kinds of excuses, but he didn't expect that he would be so single.

Jiang Zhiping walked forward and sat next to Wang Decai.

"Mr. Wang, please don't forget. I am a fellow Hong Kong Islander."

Jiang Zhiping directly revealed his trump card.

These days, being a Hong Kong Islander is the biggest escape-from-death gold medal.

Whether officially or privately, this identity will bring you many preferential treatments.

……

"I know you are from Hong Kong Island, but when you come to the mainland, you have to follow the mainland's rules. Since you have taken my money, you have to abide by my rules." Wang Decai said coldly.

"Boss Wang, you are just an outsider."

Jiang Zhiping reached out and pulled out a cigar from the cigar box. After cutting it with a cigar cutter, he picked up the ZIPPO lighter, heated it slightly, and lit it for himself.

Jiang Zhiping's fearless look really intimidated Wang Decai. For a moment, he really couldn't figure out Jiang Zhiping's background.

"Let me put it this way, if domestic films want to develop, they need the strong support and help from relevant personnel in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Only in this way can they be commercialized and internationalized..." Jiang Zhiping just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Wang Decai.

"Producer Jiang, you've already said that I'm an amateur. There's no need to talk nonsense like this."

Wang Decai also lit a cigar, took a puff, and then blew the smoke into Jiang Zhiping's face.

"I just want to know, on what basis do you dare to put my money into your own pocket. If you can't explain this matter clearly, then today, I'm afraid you..."

"Look at you, you're anxious again. I'm explaining something to you, why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Zhiping smiled, waved his hand gently to get rid of the smoke in front of his face, and smoked his cigar slowly.

"Since the mainland needs our help in this regard, then it is natural for them to follow our rules. Don't you think this makes sense?" Both sides have already revealed their cards, so there is no need for Jiang Zhiping to use Hong Kong Mandarin anymore.

"Your rule is to put investors' money into your own pockets?" Wang Decai stared at Jiang Zhiping.

"Yes, this is the rule over here." Jiang Zhiping was still smiling, but his meaning was unclear.

……

"You may not know, but you can ask around. In Hong Kong, once investors have invested money, they have nothing to do with what happens next. Whether it's a producer buying a villa or a director changing his car, it's all normal."

Jiang Zhiping smoked a cigar and continued, "Even if we take the crew to a remote place and play for a few months without filming anything, it is none of the investors' business. This is the rule over there, passed down from the older generation."

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Decai was a little misled and couldn't help asking. "Haha, how could there not be? In the end, the investor was so angry that he vomited blood and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. He almost died. Compared with such a senior, I am really nothing. I am far behind."

"Who is this wicked and smoking man?" Wang Decai was really curious.

"Haha, you can go out and ask around and you'll find out." Jiang Zhiping didn't say anything specific.

Of course I can’t say who it is here, but those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand can ask others and they will understand too.

"In that case, I have to thank you, Producer Jiang. Thank you for not letting me go to the hospital and keeping me alive and well." Wang Decai said in a sarcastic tone, his eyes still unfriendly.

……

Jiang Zhiping put the cigar on the ashtray and took off his glasses. His original gentlemanly demeanor was gone.

"It's quite hot today." Jiang Zhiping unbuttoned his shirt one by one and opened his arms.

His chest was covered with various scars.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiping seemed to have become a different person. His whole temperament became a little bit unruly and even a little bit tough.

Wang Decai looked at the scene in front of him, his eyelids twitched a little, but he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Wang, you may not know that I went to Hong Kong Island when I was a teenager. At first, I was naive and full of ideals. I wanted to learn some skills, start a career, and even contribute to the development of domestic film and television."

Jiang Zhiping laughed, but there was no trace of smile in his laugh.

"But, after all the suffering and pain I've endured for more than a decade, I'm still nothing but shit."

"This is where I was hacked when I was 19. This is where I was stabbed when I was 21. And here, here, and here, they are all..."

"Hiss~" Wang Decai took a breath of cold air. This time, he was completely stunned.

It is true that he is a coal boss, but this is the first time he has seen such a ruthless person.

……

Jiang Zhiping smiled with tears in his eyes, his face looked crazy and ferocious.

"I finally see it all clearly. I have no money in my pocket. I am worse than a piece of dog shit!"

"Boss Wang, I, Jiang Zhiping, don't want to be a piece of shit. I don't want to be stepped on by others all the time. I want to be a human being, a superior person! You tell me, I almost lost my life. Is it wrong for me to take some money for myself? Isn't it right? You tell me! Tell me!"

Jiang Zhiping roared angrily, veins popped out on his forehead, face, and neck, his whole face turned blue and red, and his saliva was about to spray on Wang Decai's face.

Wang Decai couldn't help it and moved to the side.

If there weren't a dozen burly men in the room, he would have wanted to leave immediately.

This guy is a fucking lunatic!
"That's right, it's my duty, it's my duty." Wang Decai swallowed and said quickly.

The arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones, and the desperate ones are afraid of the mentally ill ones.

This time, he really met someone who was not only desperate but also mentally ill.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a person?

He has a family and a business, and lives a comfortable life. For the sake of those 18 million, it is really not worth it for him to risk his life with such a person.

Not worth it!

……

"Producer Jiang, calm down. Come and have a drink."

Wang Decai quickly picked up the Remy Martin on the table, poured a glass for Jiang Zhiping, and handed it to him.

At the same time, he did not forget to signal the dozen or so burly men, asking them to move a little closer, so that they could quickly subdue Jiang Zhiping in case he went crazy.

Jiang Zhiping took a few breaths and drank the wine that Wang Decai handed to him.

"Boss Wang, do you need me to continue explaining the so-called rules to you?"

"No, no, I understand, I understand everything." Wang Decai waved his hands and said.

"Just follow the rules you set, Producer Jiang. I really have no objection."

"Mr. Wang, you are so straightforward. In this case, I came here today and would like you to make another payment. What do you think, Mr. Wang?" Jiang Zhiping stated his purpose for today.

"Producer Jiang, just name a number." Wang Decai agreed hurriedly.

"Don't worry, it's not much this time. Mr. Wang, you are open-minded, and I, Jiang Zhiping, am not a bad person. This time, 500 million will be enough."

"500 million, is it really enough?" Wang Decai couldn't help but ask.

This was the third time he asked for 500 million. He was really afraid that Jiang Zhiping would never stop and would ask for a fourth or even fifth time.

So, I want to get rid of this madman once and for all.

"That's really enough." Jiang Zhiping smiled and poured a glass of wine for Wang Decai and himself.

"I won't hide it from you. Of the 500 million, I will only take 300 million at most. The rest will be used for publicity and release."

"Okay, no problem. Tomorrow, I'll have someone deliver the money personally." Wang Decai agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Jiang Zhiping raised his glass.

"No problem, that's all." Wang Decai also raised his glass and clinked it with his.
