The two parties discussed some details and finally happily finalized this large business with a turnover of over 10 billion and signed a memorandum of intent for cooperation.

Because the total amount is relatively large, the percentage of service fees charged by Mr. Jiang is lower. The next step is to take a detailed inventory of each auction item, select the first batch of auction items to participate in the auction, set the starting price, etc.

Zhao Ming does not need to personally participate in these matters. He Li takes over from here and participates as the general manager of Daming Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd.

The first step is to go to the warehouse to take inventory and register each auction item.

In the past, He Li only heard about the total price, which was just a number. Now, following the registration of two experts one by one, she has a more intuitive understanding of the value of various ancient furniture.

He Li: Boss, an ancient wooden bed can be purchased for tens of millions. Are these people crazy?

Zhao Ming: What is rare is precious. You see, these beds are made of large pieces of Hainan huanghuali. You can no longer find such large pieces of aniseed.

He Li: So what, isn’t it just a big piece of wood? I think the other wood sold in the furniture store is also good, and the price is much cheaper.

Zhao Ming: I have a lot of money, so there is nothing I can do about it. Besides, we are selling openly and we are not deceiving people with fakes, so what are you worried about?

He Li: I'm not worried, I just...feel a bit bored. It felt quite fresh at first, but now I've seen it too much and it just feels like that.

Zhao Ming: Haha, for people who are not interested, it is indeed quite boring, so I asked you to go, hahaha.

He Li: Boss, you are so treacherous.

Zhao Ming: You can ask other people to guard over there. Wouldn't it be enough to ask a few more people to supervise each other? Besides, there are watcher robots monitoring over there secretly. Don't worry, we won't know if something goes wrong.

He Li: Okay, I'll call someone to come over right now. It's too boring here, why not go back and do special effects shooting.

Zhao Ming: Okay. Now that we have liquidity on hand, we don’t have to do anything else at the special auction, but we are free for the time being. By the way, people have already been arranged to go to those agricultural machinery that were used in ancient times.

Have you purchased?

He Li: It has been arranged long ago and the deposit has been paid. In addition, the purchasing agency branch in the United States is almost ready. I have arranged for people to deposit the $25 million you "picked up" in the branch.

Account.

(PS: Due to well-known reasons, this book does not describe the process of money laundering in detail. The cash "picked up" by the protagonist can be used directly by default.)

An hour later, in the general manager's office of Daming Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., Zhao Ming and He Li began to discuss the content of the first special effects video.

Zhao Ming first expressed his opinion on the naming issue: "Actually, what we are going to do is not the same thing as movie special effects. We are producing the effects directly during filming. It is inappropriate to call this thing special effects."

He Li also nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed different, so what should it be called?"

"Then let's call it mixed reality, or MR for short. It's a concept that only came out in the past two years. Let's go back and get some big machines as a cover."

"I have no objection to this. Boss, show me your skills first and let me see the effect." He Li didn't care what it was called, but was very curious about the effects that the upgraded "Illusion Technique" could achieve.

"Okay, let's start with the simplest visual simulation." Zhao Ming said, and with a casual gesture, a pet dog shaking its head suddenly appeared in front of He Li.

"Wow, this...can't tell it's fake at all."

"Now, let's simulate hearing." Zhao Ming smiled, "Little dog, say hello to your mother."

Puppy: "Woof! Woof!"

"This sound is exactly the same as a real dog barking... Wait, what did you just say?" He Li suddenly reacted and glared at Zhao Ming and said.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, don't be angry." The puppy on the side uttered human words, which startled He Li.

But then He Li reacted and said happily: "By the way, with images and sounds, it already meets the needs of shooting. Moreover, the dog's movements and expressions are completely controllable, making shooting much easier."

"Yes. Otherwise, why have there been so few animal actors over the years? Even if there are occasionally one or two high-quality films, they are all composed of a large number of shots with post-production special effects. Let's not talk about the effects. It is not a waste of time or money.

Average size.”

"Then, can other senses be simulated?"

"Yes, it can also simulate smell, taste, and touch, but it is of little use for video shooting." Zhao Ming said, operating the puppy to jump on the coffee table, and it instantly turned into a steaming pot of braised dog meat.

"Oh my god, you are so cruel to such a cute dog." He Li glared at Zhao Ming.

An alluring aroma of food instantly filled every corner of the office. He Li sniffed and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Zhao Ming conjured up another set of bowls and chopsticks and signaled He Li to try it, "Eat with confidence, you won't get food poisoning or gain weight."

He Li smelled the fragrance again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then... I'll give it a try. Let me make it clear first that I'm testing the effect of the illusion technique, and I'm not greedy."

"Haha, no, no, no one is talking about you, why are you feeling guilty?"

He Li picked up the chopsticks, reached out and picked up a piece of dog meat with skin and put it into her mouth.

fragrant!

So delicious!

The meat full of soup tumbled in He Li's mouth, and a delicious feeling that she had never experienced before stirred in her mind.

So delicious!

He Li didn't care that this was a virtual thing. She held the chopsticks in her hands and ate happily while holding the bowl.

"Don't you want to try it?" He Li asked strangely when Zhao Ming didn't move.

"I think it's a pity that these things are ineffective against spell casters." Zhao Ming said helplessly.

"Oh, that's it." He Li nodded, and then suddenly burst into a burst of gloating laughter, "Hahaha... That's really pitiful."

Zhao Ming: "..."

"Boss, I suddenly had an idea. If you open a restaurant, your business will be prosperous."

"Come on, how much money can you make by opening a restaurant?" Zhao Ming rolled his eyes.

"Oh, yes, I forgot that the boss is now a man with assets worth hundreds of millions, haha." He Li smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, don't interrupt. In addition to using animals as a selling point, we can also make disaster films such as floods, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons. Such films seem to be rare in China."

He Li curled her lips when she heard this, "These are blockbusters with special effects. Movies are made in China, and the money is used to pay the stars' salaries. How can there be money for special effects? Even if there is special effects, they only cost 50 cents. It's embarrassing to watch."
