Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

"Alright, since Xu Yang isn't going, I guess the rest of us aren't interested either, so let's head back to the hotel to rest," Wang Xiaocong said.

He didn't really ask for Xue Zhanhua, Xu Zhen or Wu Jing's opinions.

The three of them knew that Wang Xiaocong definitely wouldn't include them in such activities.

Of course, even if they were invited, Xu Zhen and Wu Jing wouldn't go either.

They were celebrities, and if they were spotted and exposed, their careers would be completely ruined.

Xue Zhanhua would have been a bit better off; he wouldn't have that problem.

But why would Wang Xiaocong invite a man in his fifties to hang out? Wouldn't that be a mood killer?

Shortly after, they all returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, they didn't rest so early.

Wang Xiaocong, Jiang Yuheng, and Su Wenbin went to Xu Yang's room to drink tea and chat.

"Xu Yang, do you have any investment projects you're keen on right now?" Wang Xiaocong asked.

"Right now," Xu Yang paused slightly in thought, "speaking of investment projects I'm keen on, there really is one."

"What project, tell us!" Wang Xiaocong was invigorated, his eyes shining.

He had just asked casually and didn't expect there really to be one.

Since it was a project mentioned by Xu Yang, he must invest in it.

Xu Yang's investment projects had never failed; they all made money, and not just a little, but a lot of money.

Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin also looked toward Xu Yang, somewhat expectant.

If there was a project, they would want to be part of it—no one would think they had too much money.

"Acquiring a copyright company," Xu Yang said. "I've already acquired a copyright company and invested one billion to have the company's general manager purchase a large number of various cultural knowledge product rights. Now I estimate that most of the money has probably been spent."

The three-month deadline is almost up.

Now, Pioneer Culture Copyright Company's acquisition of copyrights should be pretty much done.

Sharing this news with Wang Xiaocong and the others, letting them make money together, would definitely deepen their relationships further.

Especially, to completely get Wang Xiaocong on the same boat.

Wang Xiaocong's influence was even greater than Jiang Yuheng's and Su Wenbin's.

In the future, there might be many occasions where he would need Wang Xiaocong's help.

"What! Acquire a copyright company!"

"You spent ten billion to buy all sorts of cultural knowledge product rights!"

"Oh my, that's a huge move," the three of them exclaimed.

"Xu Yang, do you think copyright prices are going to skyrocket?" Wang Xiaocong asked after the shock.

"Yes, with all sorts of piracy rampant, I don't think this situation can go on forever. Sooner or later, the country will surely take copyright seriously, and then the government will step in and regulate, ensuring copyright prices will definitely surge," Xu Yang said.

"Everyone knows that the rampant piracy can't continue indefinitely, but when will the country step in? Can we endure until then? You're investing heavily now because you think the government will soon crack down and enforce regulations?" Wang Xiaocong said.

"That's my judgment," Xu Yang nodded.

"Xu Yang, I have to say, you're very bold, putting in a billion directly to acquire all kinds of copyrights. Just for that, I'm far behind you," Wang Xiaocong gave Xu Yang a thumbs up.

One billion was not a small amount for him personally.

Investing a billion directly to acquire copyrights was something he could not do.

What if the government doesn't regulate it soon?

Buying the company, the capital is tied up, creating a lot of pressure.

There are monthly rents to pay, and salaries to dish out for the staff.

All of this costs a considerable amount of money, and if you don't know when regulations will kick in, you might not be able to hold on.

"Anyway, once I set my sights on something, I go for it. If I lose, then I lose; it's impossible to succeed in every investment," Xu Yang said.

He had already shared the news, and whether Wang Xiaocong and the other two wanted to enter the fray was now up to them.

If they decided to get in, they would surely make a profit and would definitely be grateful to him afterward.

If they didn't, they would miss the opportunity and have only regret later on.

"Old Jiang, Old Su, what do you say?" Wang Xiaocong asked.

"What else is there to say? If Xu Yang can do it, and do it with a billion-dollar move at that, why can't we!" Jiang Yuheng said.

"That's right, this is something we must take on!" Su Wenbin followed.

"Alright, since you both feel that way, I have no reservations. How about the three of us find a copyright company to co-invest in acquiring together?" Wang Xiaocong proposed.

"Sure," both Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin had no objections.

"Okay, I'll arrange this matter. Tomorrow, I will have my investment company look for a copyright firm to acquire. You guys just need to provide the funds when the time comes. Let's discuss now how much we should collectively invest to acquire the rights," Wang Xiaocong said.

"Xu Yang alone is investing a billion; as three people, we should at least match that number," Jiang Yuheng remarked.

"Right, we can do that number," Su Wenbin agreed without objection.

The two believed that with Xu Yang's massive investment, the project was almost certain to succeed, virtually a hundred percent.

Investing a billion in total seemed reasonable.

"Fine, then it's 350 million each, and we'll handle the acquisition company separately. Once we find the firm, we'll pay whatever the amount is!" Wang Xiaocong stated.

Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin, naturally, had no objections.

And so, the three of them reached an agreement on the collaboration.

"Let me make one thing clear beforehand, if we lose money, don't blame me," Xu Yang gave everyone a heads up.

"Xu Yang, what do you take us for? You're leading us to make money; how could we possibly do anything like that?"

"Xu Yang, if we lose, it's just bad luck on our part. We absolutely won't blame you."

"If anyone blames you, I'll be the first to disapprove."

All three made their stance clear.

...

The next day.

The group arrived at the location of the kickoff ceremony.

This was an open space in front of the hotel entrance.

Xu Zhen arrived earlier with the film crew and other staffers.

They set up the booth, placed the incense burner, and prepared everything needed.

Xu Yang, Wang Xiaocong, along with Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin, arrived together.

They were the last to arrive, and when they did, all other attendees were already there.

It wasn't yet ten o'clock when Xu Zhen brought the main actors over to meet Xu Yang and the others.

"This is Wang Xiaocong. I believe he needs no introduction; no one doesn't know him," Xu Zhen first introduced Wang Xiaocong, then went on to introduce Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin.

Finally, pointing at Xu Yang, he said, "This is Mr. Xu, whom I've mentioned to you before. It was he who recommended you to me."

"Mr. Xu, thank you for giving us this opportunity!"

All eyes turned to Xu Yang with excited expressions of gratitude.

Xu Zhen was now a highly sought-after director, and for these unknown actors, participating in his movie was an enormous opportunity.

Not to mention, it was such a promising film.

Xu Zhen had told them that it was the chief investor of the film who had recommended them to him.

In their hearts, they were immensely grateful to this Mr. Xu they had not yet met.

By bringing them over, Xu Zhen was giving them the chance to express their thanks in person.
