Chapter 1448 Showing Off Love

Regarding Zhao Fusheng's decision, Ye Jing naturally executed it without compromise. After 'Crazy Stone' was released, it would surely receive strong support from Future Film and Television.

For him, even if Zhao Fusheng's judgment was wrong, executing it wasn't his problem. But conversely, if Zhao Fusheng's judgment was correct and he didn't execute it, that would affect their relationship.

Zhao Fusheng understood this reasoning, so he didn't say anything more. After chatting a bit more with Ye Jing, he left the company directly.

When he got home, Zhao Fusheng received a call from Jiang Wen.

'I heard you signed Ning Hao?' Jiang Wen's voice was quite cheerful, after all, he was the one who recommended this person to Zhao Fusheng. Now that Zhao Fusheng valued Ning Hao, it meant his judgment was very correct.

'That's right.' Zhao Fusheng nodded and said with a smile, 'I think he'll definitely become a great director in the future.'

'That impressive?' Jiang Wen was somewhat surprised. He really hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng's assessment of Ning Hao to be like this.

Originally, he thought his own evaluation of Ning Hao was already high, but he didn't expect Zhao Fusheng to be so optimistic about Ning Hao's future.

'Surprised?' Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

Jiang Wen nodded: 'Honestly, I didn't expect it.'

He paused, then asked, 'According to you, won't I have to wait to be surpassed by him in the future?'

Zhao Fusheng chuckled but didn't say anything.

Some things didn't need to be said too clearly, but in Zhao Fusheng's view, if you looked ten years down the line, Jiang Wen might not necessarily hold a higher position than Ning Hao in the eyes of investors.

This wasn't a joke. Although Old Jiang's 'Let the Bullets Fly' was a box office explosion and made a lot of money, both before and after that, Jiang Wen's films meant losing money.

Conversely, except for 'No Man's Land,' Ning Hao's works were basically box office hits.

Movies like 'Breakup Buddies' and 'Crazy Racer'—any one of them ranked among the top in box office for their year.

At the very least, investing in Ning Hao's films wouldn't lose money.

……

……

'You really signed that Ning Hao?'

After putting down the phone, Zhao Fusheng heard Fan Baobao ask somewhat curiously.

Zhao Fusheng laughed. He hadn't expected that just signing a new director would cause so many people to be surprised.

'What, you think I shouldn't have signed him?' Zhao Fusheng asked back, somewhat surprised.

'It's not that.' Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Fan Baobao shook her head: 'It's just unexpected, after all, for you to value someone so much is rare.'

Zhao Fusheng then understood; it turned out the source was himself.

After all, at his level, to value a new director so much, it was no wonder everyone found it strange.

Smiling lightly, Zhao Fusheng said to Fan Baobao, 'You're overthinking it. I just think he has a lot of potential.'

Fan Baobao snorted and couldn't be bothered to say more. Anyway, she absolutely didn't believe Zhao Fusheng's words. He was always like this, speaking in riddles, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

But she also didn't want to say anything more. After all, her focus now was on the child in her belly.

Watching his wife go back to the room to rest, Zhao Fusheng shrugged and went to his own room.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was June. 'Crazy Stone' was released as scheduled.

Box office explosion!

'It's done!'

Ye Jing's call came through to Zhao Fusheng's phone, saying excitedly, 'First week box office: five million!'

Zhao Fusheng listened to him and chuckled. "Is that so? That's pretty good."

"You bet," Ye Jing said excitedly. "We're now considering whether to step up our promotional efforts."

"You guys decide on that," Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

He didn't really care about it, since he had already signed Ning Hao; the rest was none of his business.

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Fusheng shook his head. Ning Hao really didn't disappoint. He just wondered what brilliance this man would shine with in this life.

What Zhao Fusheng didn't know was that, at this very moment, his reputation as a talent scout had spread throughout the entertainment industry.

After all, not everyone had the courage to sign a rookie director in advance.

...

...

"Brother, I want to go to the amusement park!" Fan Beibe pestered Zhao Fusheng.

"Be good, let me make a call, then I'll take you, okay?" Zhao Fusheng said to Fan Beibe while looking at his computer.

"Okay."

Fan Beibe nodded, a little disappointed.

For a child, not being able to go out and play was undoubtedly a great disappointment.

But at that moment, Zhao Fusheng had no mind to pay attention to Fan Beibe.

Because he had something more important to do.

New Century Financial Group officially declared bankruptcy!

"Old Zhao, we're going to get rich!" Tan Kaixuan said excitedly on the other end of the line.

He hadn't expected things to continue developing in the direction Zhao Fusheng had predicted.

"Prepare the funds," Zhao Fusheng said solemnly.

Since things had come to this, there was no room for hesitation. Zhao Fusheng had decided to enter the market and short U.S. stocks!

"How much are you planning to invest?" Tan Kaixuan asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment. "One hundred million US dollars, what do you think?"

Tan Kaixuan was taken aback. "That much?"

He was genuinely surprised, never expecting Zhao Fusheng to invest a hundred million directly.

This was no joke. He recalled that when Soros's Quantum Fund shorted the Thai baht back then, it only involved a few billion in funds.

Now Zhao Fusheng was directly investing a hundred million US dollars, and on margin leverage at that.

In other words, Zhao Fusheng was essentially gambling big!

"What, you think I'm investing too much?" Zhao Fusheng said with a smile to Tan Kaixuan.

Tan Kaixuan didn't mince words. "If you're using margin leverage, this is a bit risky."

After all, it was a hundred million US dollars. With a slight misstep, if the margin call hit, the loss would be huge, and there would be no chance to recover.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled lightly. "It's okay. After all, this money is my private stash. If it works out, maybe I'll have a chance to make even more, right?"

Tan Kaixuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng to be so carefree about it. That was a hundred million dollars, and the guy was so indifferent.

He gave a helpless wry smile, feeling he could no longer keep up with Zhao Fusheng's thinking.

"You bastard, they say I love to gamble, but I find you seem to love it even more than I do," Tan Kaixuan sighed.

Zhao Fusheng said nothing, just couldn't help but smile.
