"The price of that No. 0 will not be increased again, right? The price is too high. If not, let's give up?"

Emma Watson was not as happy as he took a photo of the Rose Garden at this time. In her opinion, the Qianlong jade seal on the stage was really not worth much. The main reason may be that he did not understand the emperor's authority during the feudal dynasty.

Yang Cheng didn't have the patience to explain the preciousness of this thing to her, but just shook her head and comforted her confidently, "Don't worry, this is the last offer, there should be no problem."

On the other hand, the professional buyer No. 0 was originally confident, but with the message of an unknown number on his phone, his face changed drastically. His vigilant eyes glanced around, causing inexplicable people around him.

He was so rude that he didn't continue to hold up the sign. The auctioneers on the stage couldn't control so many. Are you already a little impatient when you didn't look at the big guy in the front row?

Hurry up and go through the process, "11.1 million once, this jade seal is a rare treasure, 11.1 million second time~"

The ending sound was long until it was confirmed that no one in the audience would raise the sign, and it was heavily thrown. "The deal was completed~ Congratulations to Mr. Yang, successfully captured the finale of tonight."

Thunderous applause sounded, Yang Cheng stood up, smiled and waved, and followed the staff to the backend to complete the handover procedures. As for the No. 0, he would not waste his brain cells thinking too much.

But after he signed the sign, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be one missing target tonight. He asked a manager at Sotheby's next to him in confusion, "I remember there is a water company equity in your auction list close to Wales, why didn't it be sold?"

The manager was stunned for a moment, and then explained embarrassedly, "I'm very sorry to Mr. Yang, because everyone decided to cancel the auction before the auction started, and even paid the penalty for liquidated damages generously, so we naturally couldn't force it."

Yang Cheng frowned, "Is it temporarily cancelled?"

He was a little depressed. Although he had won the main goal tonight, he had not tasted both sides, especially the equity of this water company, he still cared about it.

However, he also knew that there was no useful news from Sotheby's. After Sotheby's confirmed that the check was true and legal, he discussed with Yang Cheng, "Mr. Yang, I wonder if you are preparing to pick up the goods on site or if we are responsible for transportation?"

"You are responsible for transporting to my manor, after all, you are professional." Yang Cheng would not carry it with her. No matter how hard she is, she is worth tens of millions of pounds. There is never a shortage of bad people in this world who are planning to behave badly.

Sotheby's has a mature system and rich experience in security transportation. Besides, the entire process will not be considered as if it is finished until the goods are handed over to Yang Cheng. If an accident occurs during transportation, Yang Cheng has the right to request Sotheby's return of the payment.

But if he picks up the goods now and once he is robbed on the road, Sotheby's will not take the corresponding responsibility. Can Yang Cheng make mistakes in such small details like this?

The president of Sotheby's also wanted to invite Yang Cheng to the office for coffee, but he declined it. What's the point of drinking coffee with a man?

After experiencing the supreme gift service, I left with Emma in a car. At Yang Cheng's strong invitation, Emma finally nodded and agreed to go back to the manor together.

On the highway, the noise was isolated outside the car window, and there was no need to increase the volume at all. Emma asked casually, "You just asked the manager about the water company. Do you want to invest?"

Emma is a little business-minded. Yang Cheng doesn't mind chatting with her. It's better than having sex as soon as she meets her.

He turned his body and said, "The British Isles are densely precipitated, rich in water resources, and large enough population. Investing in water companies is a profitable transaction. Just looking at the profit level may not be as terrifying as Internet companies, but the victory lies in stability. Even if you encounter a financial crisis, you will still make money. After all, ordinary people cannot survive without water."

Emma's big eyes were very exciting, "Wouldn't that be a sure-making deal?"

Yang Cheng was a little amused and suddenly regretted discussing investment issues with an actress who could act and lack basic knowledge of life. "How can I really make a profit in this world? If I were the first to invest, the above is just a relative statement.

If you live in the UK all year round, you should be clear that the UK has a temperate marine climate. The warm and humid water vapor over the Atlantic Ocean brings rich rain to this country, but abundant rainfall also brings troubles with abundant rainfall.

Especially in recent years, due to the impact of global climate change, the UK has been constantly affected by severe weather and frequent floods, which has ensured the safety of drinking water and avoided the pollution caused by floods to drinking water as much as possible.

Emma stared at her big eyes, as if she had seen a brand new world, "That is, the water company is likely to go bankrupt due to huge losses caused by floods or water pollution?"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Simply put, this is the case. The small water company I just asked about, not far from Wales, caused the reservoir to break down due to the flood last year. Although there were no casualties, they were unable to renovate the new reservoir and could only declare bankruptcy. The company's boss or local ZF would auction and reorganize it."

"So that's it, so why did the other party suddenly cancel the auction?" Emma was like a child who was curious about the world, with a hundred thousand whys in her mind.

Yang Cheng spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. Maybe they have found a solution to the difficulties? For example, obtaining financing from investment banks? This is not good."

Emma kicked off her high heels, crossed her legs in her seat, and held her cheek with one hand. "If I had known, I would have bought some water company stocks. No matter how much I would have earned more than buying those conservative financial funds."

"You little money fan, you are worried about not having money for tens of millions of dollars?" Yang Cheng was really unable to complain. Emma's ability to make money is no less than that of small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States, but then again, who can spare more money?

Haven’t you seen Yang Cheng’s net worth of billions of dollars, and she still quarrels about being short of money every day?

Emma Watson scoffed, "Who said I paid tens of millions of dollars? I recently accepted a movie, and the pay was only $4.5 million, and it was not a one-time payment. If it weren't for Tom Hanks's sake, I wouldn't have accepted it at all."

"Hmm? You're taking the movie again? Aren't you going to join Disney crew soon?" Yang Cheng had heard Emma say before that she took on Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".

Emma spread her hands like Yang Cheng, "That crew is called "Circle". Originally, the film and "Beauty and the Beast" had a heavy schedule, so I pushed it. Who knew that the newly found heroine in "Circle" could not be starred for other reasons, so she had to find me again and postpone the shooting time. She was very sincere. I liked that book very much, so I might as well take it together. Anyway, the filming time of a small-cost movie will not be too long."

Yang Cheng murmured the name of "Circle" and circled around in his mind. He had no impression at all. It was obviously not a big hit movie, and he couldn't even reach the level of winning the award. He could be certified as a bad movie.

However, the movie "Beauty and the Beast" made Disney a big profit, and even won several small awards on the Oscars. Unfortunately, the film derived from fairy tales is Disney's specialty. With Disney's dominance, it is probably unrealistic for Yang Cheng to get a share of the pie.

He said with regret, "Disney has not given you the opportunity to bring funds into the group?"

Looking from Yang Cheng's perspective, Emma's signature upward mouth was displayed with a perfect side face, and she smiled sly, "No, but I signed a bet agreement with them. If the box office of the film exceeds "Maleficent", I can get at least $15 million, up to $17 million in compensation. On the contrary, I can only get a prepayment of $0 million."

Yang Cheng was surprised at Emma's courage, and at the same time he was happy for Emma, ​​because the box office of "Beauty and the Beast" was too much higher than "Maleficent". Emma won this bet agreement.

"By the way, the crew of "Circle" still lacks some investment, why don't I introduce the producer to you?" Emma suddenly remembered the other party's face full of sorrow when she was communicating with Tom Hanks a while ago, and almost forgot that there was a rich man around her who could solve the problem.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng's head was shaking like a rattle, which was obviously a pit, so he didn't jump in. "Forget it, New Times Film has launched many major projects recently. If it's just a release, it's okay to invest, so forget it."

Indeed, no matter how bad the box office is, with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson joining, it is not a big problem to recover costs. It is a profit for the issuer, but it is more difficult to make money through investment.

Emma doesn't care. She also asked temporarily, "When I tell Tom, if New Era Pictures can intervene in the distribution, they will probably be very happy."

New Era Film has received all the resources of Lionsgate, and the best of them is its distribution capabilities. Back then, it was able to issue six monoclonal antibodies with continuous mergers and acquisitions. Now with the help of New Era Media, several of them can even reach a crushing level. From the perspective of distribution capabilities alone, except for Disney, Hollywood, Yang Cheng can say without exaggeration: Everyone here is rubbish.

It's so domineering, especially with the intervention of CW TV, which completely fills the shortcomings of Lions Gate's local distribution in North America, which is why Emma said just now.

It is true that Tom Hanks is the best actor. He has proved his ability to make monoclonal antibody videos and even videos several times in the past, but this does not mean that he can succeed every time. There must be more failure than success. Therefore, the release stage after the production of the video is the most troublesome time for the producers. After all, the six major gates are not so easy to enter.
