Since ancient times, there have been many strata in society, both at home and abroad, in the form of a pyramid.


    There is little official recognition, but even the lowest and largest number of working people clearly know this.


    According to the rough distribution, it can be divided into at least three layers.


    The upper class, the middle class, and the grass-roots at the bottom.


    Strictly speaking, each level can be divided into three, six, nine and so on. For example, the Tang family, with the scale of more than one billion hotels in the Tang Dynasty and countless friends, ranks among the upper class society, but it is only at the bottom of the upper class society.


    And cute man Mai Xiaoyu... Barely one foot can step into the threshold of upper class society.


    Among the six people in the room, except Comrade Lao Luo, the other five, like Zhu Zeyuan, belong to families in the upper middle class of upper class society and leaders from different identities and industries. It has not only a huge asset scale, but also the corresponding political resources.


    "Brother Liu."


    "Brother Han."


    "Brother Feng."


    "Sister Ye."


    "Brother Li."


    "Lao Luo."


    Mai Xiaoyu nodded to say hello one by one, sat down with Zhu Zeyuan, and the six smiled and raised their glasses in response.


    Only Luo always has an opinion: "why did you become Lao Luo here?"


    A middle-aged man wearing gold wire glasses smiled and said, "I wish he didn''t call me Lao Li."


    "Yes. Wheat, you and our Ye family are old friends, and we are partners. Why can''t I feel a little close? Don''t you still trust us?" it was the only woman present, named Ye Xin, with a kind tone and a kind smile.


    Trust?


    Hehe


    A wolf and a group of lions and tigers cooperate in hunting. Do you let the wolf talk about trust with the lions and tigers?


    Mai Xiaoyu will not be deceived by his smile. He is like a mirror in his heart. These people present are predators who eat people and don''t spit bones. Although we are now facing each other with a harmonious smile, when the bayonet is red, the other party will swallow his cute person and will never consider the so-called friendship.


    Shopping malls are like battlefields. This is the rule of the game.


    The battle without smoke of gunpowder is more cruel and ruthless.


    The gap between him and the other party is too big. If he did not show enough value and potential value, and president Luo put a needle through it and provided enough exciting interests to the six parties, he could not afford to save the current circle.


    At this level, only by virtue of their own strength to speak.


    Friendship?


    What is the value of friendship?


    "****************************************************************!


    Therefore, for Mai Xiaoyu, it is the right way to protect himself in the process of cooperation and finally achieve his goal.


    "How can I?" he smiled and shook his head. "Sister ye, what''s Ye Chu doing recently? I haven''t seen him for a long time."


    "Don''t mention it. My big nephew asked for a sum of money from home last year and said he was going to start a business. As a result, he went to the United States and didn''t come back. No one knows what he is busy with. For this, the family has a headache."


    President Feng next to Ye Xin also sighed: "who says no, young people now really don''t know what they think. A good family business doesn''t know how to take care of it. It has to pursue the so-called ideal. It''s OK to pursue the ideal. Even the name has been changed..."


    "It''s normal for that circle to change its name. Didn''t my daughter also change her name?" Mr. Han said.


    "Can it be the same? Lao Han, you also said that you are a daughter, but mine is a son."


    Everyone chatted a few words and finally got to the point.


    "Things have dragged on for many days. It''s time to close the net."


    "Yes, another Tang Dynasty Hotel was closed down in Jinling yesterday. There are already eight. You can tell him."


    "I hope he can figure it out and don''t waste our time. This money... If it weren''t for the follow-up plan, I wouldn''t be very interested."


    "Who will have a showdown with old Tang?"


    The seven people focused on Mai Xiaoyu.


    Originally, the reason for the forced eating of the Tang Dynasty lies in the gratitude and resentment between the Tang Dynasty and Meng people.


    Tang Tian took the initiative for no reason. Mai Xiaoyu then fought back fiercely and formed a group of high-end players to brush the copy of the Tang Dynasty.


    It would be appropriate for him to have a showdown.


    Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "I''ll have a showdown with the Tang family tomorrow, but I have a small condition."


    The seven were silent and looked at him in silence.


    Six of them were expressionless and their eyes became colder, including Ye Xin, who had repeatedly said that they were friends.


    Only president Luo has a smile around his mouth.


    It''s really abnormal. I dare to put forward collateral conditions at this time.


    Really think those six are good gentlemen?


    Mai Xiaoyu didn''t care about other people''s expressions and continued: "take my share of the money after the Tang Dynasty, don''t."


    Huh?


    The seven were slightly surprised and their faces remained the same.


    Zhu Zeyuan tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers and asked, "what do you want?"


    "I want to clean up a group of artists and directors."


    President Luo brightened up and asked in disbelief, "just because they didn''t apologize publicly?"


    "Yes, everyone should be responsible for what they do. If they are wrong, they must apologize. Don''t try to fool them."


    "What if someone insists on not apologizing?"


    "Then block it and get out of the entertainment industry."


    This


    Banning artists and driving out of the entertainment industry are just big things in the eyes of the seven people.


    No matter how big a star, its brilliance only exists in the eyes of the middle and lower classes.


    In the upper class, they can''t get rid of the brand of actors in the old society. They come and go as soon as they are called, drink and laugh with them


    Therefore, marrying into a rich family has become a fast way for many actresses to get rid of their brand, and it is also their big goal in life.


    The puzzle of the seven lies in Mai Xiaoyu''s fearless spirit struggle.


    President Liu, the owner of the club, frowned and said, "do you know how much you have after everything is done?"


    "It doesn''t matter how many there are. For me, there is no change in my life. Just like you, money is just a number in your eyes. Will your pursuit now be the accumulation of those cold numbers?"


    Making money is the most direct and simple goal of the general public. Only by making money can we support our family, improve our living environment and enjoy life.


    However, people in President Liu''s class do not need to bear the pressure of the general public. Even if they do nothing and retire directly after birth, it is enough to enjoy a good life.


    Therefore, their motivation to do things stems more from a sense of achievement, superiority and high social status. They should try to stand on the top of the mountain without being crowded down by their competitors, so as to enjoy the scenery that most people can''t enjoy.


    "But you haven''t reached our height yet. Is it worth giving up rich interests for meaningless disputes?"


    President Li spoke the voice of others.


    They agreed to cooperate with Mai Xiaoyu and agreed to take the lead, but it does not mean that they really agree with Mai Xiaoyu''s status.


    Assets, contacts, relationships, resources, social status, etc. no matter software or hardware, Mai Xiaoyu is not as good as president Luo. In front of the six of them, president Luo can only be a... Broker, a high-grade broker at best.


    "It''s worth it." Mai Xiaoyu affirmed, "I''m not a businessman or an insider in the entertainment circle. I''m just an ordinary person who rewards virtue for virtue and revenge with directness. Whoever hit me in the face and bullied me, I will return it and never compromise. Otherwise, I can''t sit here with you tonight."


    "You are really a madman," Mr. Luo sighed.


    After forcibly eating the Tang Dynasty, everyone present could get at least 100 million.


    This money, even if Mr. Luo can''t do it, it''s impossible to say no to him for meaningless anger.


    The other six felt the same.


    Before deciding to cooperate, they all sent people to conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of Mai Xiaoyu and recognized his proposal and potential value.


    Last year, in order to protect the crew, Mai Xiaoyu singled out local evil forces and nearly got shot. He also personally shot the fugitive suspect of vicious homicide.


    Although the truth of that matter was suppressed and disclosed to the public in another way, president Luo could get the first-hand information to know the truth, not to mention the six of them.


    Buzzing


    Mai Xiaoyu''s cell phone rang and made a vibrating sound.


    He said sorry and took his cell phone to the balcony.


    The other seven people looked at each other. After a short silence, Ye Xin smiled and said to President Feng: "Congratulations, brother Feng. If someone doesn''t have eyes to provoke your son in the future, brother Feng doesn''t have to come forward in person."


    "I''d rather he hit a wall early and come back to take over the business."


    "That''s probably hanging. The audience is looking forward to meteor garden. Even my 12-year-old niece is looking forward to the TV series every day."


    "Yes, it''s estimated that the income of this TV play will not be small. Xiao Luo, you have a good relationship with wheat. Why didn''t you participate in the investment when you were preparing for shooting?"


    Luo always laughs and doesn''t talk.


    Like Mai Xiaoyu, he is not qualified to enter this circle if it is not for this special situation. So when six people talk about business, he seldom opens his mouth to express his opinions.


    Sure enough, no one expected him to speak, and someone said, "what do you think? According to what he said, he won''t give him his share?"


    "If you don''t give it to him, with his current wealth, you can take out 100 million working capital at one time?"


    "Yes. We don''t know much about the entertainment industry. It''s OK for those experts in the domestic entertainment industry to deceive the people at home. None of them works internationally. On the contrary, he has some skills and can eat well abroad."


    "He has a good team. Who of you found the details of wheat, wheat, ah Zheng and little fish?"


    "Listen to these names and think about his name. Is it necessary to check them?"


    "What I''m worried about now is that he''s retreating."


    "He shouldn''t be so bold. What do you think, Xiao Luo?"


    When someone asked himself, president Luo said, "based on my understanding of him, he shouldn''t. That''s not his style. Moreover, even if he doesn''t take money and doesn''t pay money in the future, he will run the new company in accordance with the previous agreement. From the several times I contacted him, he is still very particular about his work."


    "All right, let''s vote whether to give him his share."


    The seven fell silent again.


    A moment later, Ye Xin said: "his request is not difficult. I agree to give it to him. I heard Xiao Chu about the overseas release of deadly ID. he did a good job in Cannes and the United States."


    The second speaker was president Feng: "I agree. I asked awei how to sign the contract. I have to admit that he has a good eye for people. He signed more than a dozen artists under Meng Ren. At present, he has never lost sight."


    "You''re obviously putting gold on your face!" Mr. Han said with a smile. "I''m very optimistic about him and his team. Before the joint shooting of Liangjian this time, I still had concerns about the script. But after the shooting, after watching the sample collection on CCTV, I spoke highly of the play. So I agree."


    President Li said with a smile: "all three of you have direct or indirect contact with him. No wonder you will agree. Does anyone else agree? It can be over with another person''s consent."


    Then he glanced at president Luo.


    President Luo pretended not to see it and silently tasted the wine with a glass, as if it had nothing to do with him... In fact, it was almost the same. He was not at the same level as the six people.


    Zhu Zeyuan coughed and shook the red wine in the glass: "it''s over, I agree."


    "Old Zhu, have you contacted him before?"


    "No. I just think that he can get three votes and has a strong team around him. The contracted artists have never gone astray. Such a person must be very excellent. For excellent talents, only by giving enough returns will he create greater value..."


    When Mai Xiaoyu called back, the seven people had finished their discussion.


    They can cooperate with Mai Xiaoyu to put pressure on those in the entertainment circle to publicly apologize to Huo Jianhua. For die hard elements who insist on not apologizing, they should be jointly blocked, but the scope should not spread too much.


    Don''t worry about that.


    Those who can make a name in the entertainment industry are human spirits. If it''s not a human spirit... Just like Zhang Koizumi, I''m afraid I''ll be a photography assistant all my life if I don''t meet Mai Xiaoyu.


    You are very lofty when you pretend to be high, and you are never vague when you should bow your head.


    As long as a little pressure is exerted to make them realize the seriousness of the consequences, most people will not gamble on their hard won future.


    "These are small things. Your share of the money is still yours. If you feel bad, you should spend more time in the future to make more money for everyone."


    Mai Xiaoyu smiled noncommittally, which made the old drivers among the old drivers unable to see through. And his next sentence immediately attracted the attention of these old drivers.


    "The second book of Twilight city has been written. If there is no accident, it will be published in the second half of the year."


    "Hahaha, really a high-yield writer, strive to write ten or eight, preferably longer than Harry Potter!"


    "Unfortunately, it will take several years to start shooting."


    "In the past two years, it is mainly overseas layout, distribution and operation, with more investment and less output, and there is little meat in the Tang Dynasty. It doesn''t feel very meaningful."


    "I feel the same way. The coal mine is a good thing. Unfortunately, old Zhu protects it, and wheat doesn''t agree. How about Hailan clothes? Anyway, I have a grudge against you, and I can''t eat it with a little effort."


    Mai Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head: "forget it. Strong eating in the Tang Dynasty has attracted a lot of attention. Don''t worry about causing public anger if you start on Hailan again?"


    Every stratum and circle has its own rules, and the capital market is no exception.


    If several big crocodiles joined hands, they could easily make waves in the capital market, which would have collapsed long ago.


    This time is an exception. Meng Ren and the Tang Dynasty are the first to have a grudge. They can stand together with seven families to eat the Tang Dynasty. If long Wangshu eats the Tang Dynasty and covets Hailan... I really think there are only a few of them in the Chinese capital market?


    The old drivers understand this truth. What they say is also to test whether Mai Xiaoyu knows the advance and retreat.


    Knowing advance and retreat and knowing trade-offs are more important with the higher social class and the top of the circle.


    The result of the test was very satisfactory, and they were relieved to hand over the new company to Mai Xiaoyu.


    President Han said, "wheat, please contact the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Don''t be soft hearted and press hard. At least you have to be worthy of the military police joint law enforcement I promoted?"


    "The Tang Dynasty has sent someone to find me. That phone call just now is. I want to make an appointment to meet and talk."


    "Oh? He''s quite active. What do you say?"


    "I said think about it."


    "There''s no need to think about it. Just tonight, take advantage of the crowd and directly showdown with him, so as to save some trouble in the future."


    Zhu Zeyuan''s words were supported by others. President Liu said to Mai Xiaoyu, "call him back and tell him to come to me now. He has been here before and knows my club."
