Chapter 2277: The Party

To be fair, Robert Downey Jr. moved fast, and his circle of friends was indeed extensive.

Soon, he got in touch with Heath Ledger.

Of course, not in Zhao Fusheng's name, but in his own.

As for the excuse,

it was a party at the Chartwell Estate, the most luxurious estate in California.

Naturally, he wasn't inviting just him, but a whole host of Hollywood celebrities.

Zhao Fusheng agreed to this.

He had nothing better to do anyway, so he might as well join in the fun.

To be honest, he was also curious about what these big Hollywood stars were really like.

Not only that, Zhao Fusheng also had Scarlett Johansson invite her friends, and he called Kevin Feige, Shawn Levy, and Disney's Iger, inviting them to the party as well.

In Zhao Fusheng's own words, the livelier, the better.

When the news spread, those who received invitations were all astonished!

After all, this estate's reputation in California was enormous!

Dubbed the most luxurious estate in California, it had been rumored to have been bought by a mysterious Eastern buyer, and now Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson were inviting everyone to a party there.

What was going on?

Of course, others might be surprised, but the higher-ups at Marvel and Disney knew exactly what was happening.

It seemed that Mr. Zhao had stepped forward.

Sure enough, Kevin Feige's subsequent invitation confirmed this speculation.

Everyone knew he was Zhao Fusheng's top confidant in Hollywood.

Soon, all of Hollywood knew about it.

Many artists and celebrities inquired about which wealthy individual was making such a grand gesture.

After all, they knew the value of that estate.

If Beverly Hills represented Hollywood's wealth class, then the Chartwell Estate represented America's class.

The owner of that estate, purely in terms of wealth, had clearly transcended Hollywood's level.

He didn't need to make movies to earn money.

Who is that guy?

I heard he's Scarlett Johansson's lover?

Lover? Really?

Ha, you don't know? Scarlett Johansson hooked up with that mysterious Eastern billionaire, and that's how she got Marvel's favor.

No way.

Really, a friend of mine heard it from Marvel.

Gossip exists everywhere, and Hollywood is no exception.

But in America, money is everything; as long as you're willing to pay, many things can be avoided.

Also, the wealthy are not to be offended.

Especially the media, as long as there's no conflict of interest, they won't offend any rich person.

Only certain brainless fans in China truly believe that there's no such thing as the rich being heartless in America. In the land of the United States, money really can make anything possible.

Take Zhao Fusheng, for example. His rumored affair with Scarlett Johansson had been dug up, but when that reporter tried to publish it, he faced pressure from both Disney and Marvel.

For no reason, unless the newspaper owner was crazy, would he offend a top billionaire worth tens of billions of dollars.

……

……

Americans always like to add all sorts of frills to their parties.

But it must be said, when it comes to throwing parties, China is indeed not as professional.

At the very least, we don't have professional party planning companies.

Exactly!

Robert Downey Jr. directly contacted a party planning company to handle the entire event.

Mr. Zhao, what scale of party would you like?

After the party company's representative arrived at the estate, Robert Downey Jr. brought him before Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment: "You decide."

Then he looked at Scarlett Johansson: "Scarlett, what do you think?"

I've invited many friends.

Scarlett Johansson hesitated, then said to Zhao Fusheng: "You just need to provide the venue. Ronnie and I have discussed it; we'll each chip in five hundred thousand, which should be enough for a decent party."

One million dollars?

Zhao Fusheng was slightly surprised, then laughed.

What's wrong, Zhao?

Scarlett Johansson looked at him curiously.

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "You don't need to pay. It's not like you're the ones throwing this party."

Then he looked at the party company representative: "What's the budget for the best party you can put together?"

Huh?

The representative was stunned, looking at Zhao Fusheng in surprise, clearly not expecting this Easterner to ask such a question.

Was this guy the owner of the estate?

He knew what this estate was and how much it was worth, but he hadn't expected the owner to be such a young Chinese man.

Well, it depends on what kind of party you want.

The man thought for a moment and explained to Zhao Fusheng: "For a large estate like this, we can throw a party for a hundred thousand dollars, or for a million. If you have higher requirements, we can invite world-famous DJs to perform for you. And rest assured, we guarantee absolute safety—no problems at all."

Clearly, they weren't new to this; they were quite experienced.

Zhao Fusheng smiled. He liked the way this guy talked.

Simple and direct, without any hesitation.

After thinking, Zhao Fusheng said to Liu Yiming: "Yiming, write him a check for ten million dollars."

Then he said to the representative: "I want this party to become a hot topic across the entire United States."

Huh?

The man was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "No problem, no problem."

Uh, Zhao, what are you doing?

Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson were both stunned, looking at Zhao Fusheng in confusion. Even if it was to help Heath Ledger, did he have to go this far?

That was ten million dollars!

Probably no one in all of America had ever made such a grand gesture.

Zhao Fusheng laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm perfectly clear-headed. I just discovered a great company in Silicon Valley, and I've invested in it. I'm celebrating."

Ah.

Wow!

Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. exchanged glances, not understanding what Zhao Fusheng meant.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Trust me, this company called Uber will change the lives of Americans."

With that, he looked at the party company representative and stated his requirements...
