Chapter 604
Wang Yifei: The Seeds of Doubt Have Been Planted!!! Hollywood Queen, Right?
"Second son, you don't need to worry about money anymore. If you have time, you can manage your investments. I can give you a financial investment company; you can take a look then."
After persuading the eldest brother, Wang Duoyu looked at the second brother.
At this moment, Wang Junkang suddenly became nervous.
However, before he could speak, his father raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, Dad, I understand." Wang Jun'an accepted his father's arrangement and did not insist any further.
Because his father gave him a great shock today.
With annual profits exceeding 100 billion US dollars, Want Want Group's wealth goes beyond the phrase "rich enough to rival a nation."
It was only then that he realized that his previous investments were nothing more than small-scale operations.
Who made the products sold by Want Want Group so profitable?
The price difference from selling the oil that Want Want Group accumulated more than a decade ago is enough to make them incredibly wealthy.
To be honest, Wang Junan was indeed very shocked.
In that case, we might as well just lie down.
"That's good." Wang Duoyu grinned immediately, and at that moment Wang Junkang spoke up:
"Dad, I'm going to join the army. Please don't talk to me about the inheritance of the Want Want Group anymore, okay?"
"no!"
Wang Duoyu shook his head: "If you want to join the army, that's your business, but you can't be a soldier for the rest of your life, can you?"
"Even if you serve in the military for the rest of your life, it won't do you any harm to know more about your family."
"Anyway, we'll only have one family meeting every year from now on, and you have to attend. As for what decisions you make in the future, that's a matter for later."
The third son had no choice; he couldn't go against his father's wishes, so he had to agree.
However, he had already made up his mind that he would be stuck in the military for the rest of his life and would not take over his father's business empire.
Anyway, his older brothers are there to support him, and if things get really bad, he still has his younger sister Wang Yifei.
Although he wasn't entirely sure about Wang Yifei's business acumen, the fact that she could become a billionaire meant she was definitely much better than the average first-generation entrepreneur.
"Alright, do you have any questions? If not, then this family meeting is over."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yifei raised her hand:
"Big Fish Bro, have you forgotten about me?"
Her father gave each of her three older brothers a piece of advice, but she didn't say a word. Is that reasonable?
"I haven't forgotten. What's the point of talking to you? Didn't you want to marry out of the family? Didn't you not want to inherit the family business? Anyway, I've already told you. You can make your own decision."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei's face was immediately filled with question marks:
"What did you say, Brother Big Fish? What decision can I make?"
"If you let your future husband marry into the family, and your children take the surname Wang, then your inheritance rights will be the same as your brothers. But if you marry out of the family, then your inheritance rights will be restricted in the future. It's that simple."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei's face immediately showed a conflicted expression.
However, her third brother jokingly said:
"Dad, it seems like Sisi has a boyfriend, otherwise she wouldn't be so conflicted."
The second child, however, had a different opinion:
"She's just obsessed with money. Now that she knows how much money our father has, how could she not have designs on it?"
Makes sense!
Wang Yifei was so angry that she screamed and cried because her two brothers were singing in unison.
But she couldn't do anything about her brothers and could only sulk.
"Alright, the family meeting is over." Wang Duoyu didn't continue with the rambling.
"In the future, you can learn more knowledge on your own. Your eldest brother was right last time. Mastering more skills will have unexpected benefits for your future career development."
But can hacking skills be used in the military?
After the family meeting ended, Wang Duoyu and the others walked out of the study, and Liu Xiaoli and the others immediately cast curious glances at them from the living room.
However, Wang Junhong and the others were instructed to keep it a secret. Now is not the time for Liu Xiaoli and the others to know this information. When it is time for them to know, they will naturally find out.
After spending a day in Guangzhou, Wang Yifei returned to Los Angeles the next day.
After arriving in Los Angeles, she threw herself into filming.
This time, she directly applied to focus on filming her scenes.
While she was busy filming, an explosion occurred in Washington, D.C., which was reported in great detail by The Washington Post.
Wang Yifei was stunned when she saw the news.
That's Washington, D.C., and such a massive explosion happened there. The blast spread to such a wide area. It's terrifying!
The exact cause of the Washington bombing is still under investigation, but the first and second floors of the CIA headquarters building were severely damaged.
More than 200 people were injured or killed as a result, though The Washington Post did not report the exact death toll.
However, the photos of the accident scene still send chills down one's spine.
However, compared to The Washington Post's seemingly detailed but actually cover-up report, many bloggers on the internet have analyzed the ins and outs of this matter very thoroughly.
Most importantly, these bloggers actually provided a lot of supporting evidence.
In an instant, the entire internet trembled, and a huge wave was set off.
The reason why such a horrific bombing occurred at the CIA headquarters in Washington was due to the bombing in Moscow a few years earlier.
CIA agents had to infiltrate the KGB headquarters to obtain crucial intelligence.
However, because this agent was not very capable, or rather, he was unlucky, he was discovered.
The agents chose to kill the suddenly appearing 'lucky guy' on the spot, but a fierce fight broke out in the process.
It turns out that this 'lucky guy' was also a secret agent, and his goals were probably aligned with those of the CIA agents.
Both sides possess top-notch fighting skills and on-the-spot reaction abilities.
However, their fight attracted the attention of KGB agents.
The two agents immediately called for help, and a three-way battle ensued. The end result was an explosion at the KGB headquarters building.
The CIA agent miraculously escaped with the intelligence.
And that's how the feud began.
It was later discovered that the other agent who infiltrated the KGB was actually from the United States. However, this agent had retired from the CIA and was later employed as a top agent by an underground mercenary group.
This mercenary group has always been one to settle scores and seek revenge.
There are two reasons why we waited several years before launching the attack.
Firstly, since the Moscow bombings had just occurred, launching a counterattack immediately could easily lead to their mercenary group being retaliated against by the CIA, so there was no need to rush into it.
Secondly, it was by chance that they finally encountered such a mission, so they came to Washington and committed such a tragedy.
The detailed online reporting ended there, because someone contacted Facebook, and the blogger's post was forced to be deleted.
Interestingly, the details of the post are still being widely circulated on social media platforms.
Even Wang Yifei received similar information sharing.
At first, she wasn't interested because, although such conspiracy theories were quite appealing, she felt they had nothing to do with her.
But she couldn't resist her curiosity, and her doubts only grew stronger after she saw the contents of the documents.
Because this involves Huachen Mobile, a company under the Want Want Group.
Although Huachen Mobile is one of the blogger's guesses, the blogger believes that Huachen Mobile is behind this, because the company is one of the beneficiaries.
However, Wang Yifei does not believe that this has anything to do with Huachen mobile phones.
However, she couldn't help but recall a sentence her father had said during a family meeting some time ago: "The Want Want Group is a huge business empire, and I control it through methods such as using front men."
Yes, how could a super-large enterprise with annual profits of at least 100 billion US dollars possibly be protected by simply using front companies?
So Wang Yifei is still speculating about how many mercenary companies are actually subsidiaries of the Want Want Group.
For example, was the mercenary group behind the agent who appeared in the KGB office building in Moscow a few years ago one of the companies controlled by the Want Want Group?
Anyway, Wang Yifei herself didn't quite believe it, and didn't know if her guess was right or wrong.
But no matter what, the seed of doubt had been planted in her heart, and it would take root and sprout sooner or later.
Bang!
"Wow, big news! Avengers: Age of Ultron opened in the US yesterday. Do you know how much it grossed?"
On the other side of the film set, someone suddenly started shouting, which made Wang Yifei turn her curious gaze over.
She was originally staring at the computer screen reading the news, but now she's more concerned about the box office of "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
As the most outrageous blockbuster in Hollywood to date, many people have high hopes for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Whether this movie can break box office records depends on its performance.
Even with Paramount's production and distribution of "Jason Bourne," people don't think it will be a fierce battle.
Because "Jason Bourne" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron" are not on the same level.
Many people believe that the Bourne series should have ended completely after the trilogy was completed, rather than being followed by a disappointing sequel.
For example, "The Bourne Legacy," a film about the so-called "Bourne legacy," did reasonably well at the box office, grossing $4 billion.
However, the reviews were polarized, which was completely different from the previous "The Bourne Ultimatum", which had both explosive reviews and box office success.
Besides, given the reputation of the Bourne series, the fourth installment should have grossed more than $3.65 billion at the box office.
But alas, things didn't go as planned.
In contrast, The Avengers, backed by the vast Marvel Cinematic Universe and featuring numerous heroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Spider-Man, became the highest-grossing film of all time, with a total box office of $5.6 billion.
The difference between $5.6 billion and $3.65 billion is not just $1.95 billion.
Reaching the box office milestone of $3 billion to $4 billion is extremely difficult.
Moreover, they need to obtain 5.6 billion US dollars.
Ha ha!
In short, no one believes that "Jason Bourne 5" can be compared to "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
"Four hundred and thirty million US dollars, breaking both the previous single-day box office record and the opening day box office record."
The crew member said with an exaggerated expression:
"I'm sure today's box office will break new records again. The news says that there are now more than 200 new IMAX theaters compared to the first half of the year."
"Therefore, the box office of Avengers: Age of Ultron will definitely break records again this year."
"This is truly insane! I have no idea how fierce the box office battle will be this time."
Someone immediately retorted:
"Right now, it's definitely all about 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' isn't it? 'Jason Bourne' has no chance against it, and the other movies aren't any super hits either. So for the next month or so, 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' will definitely rake in the box office like crazy."
Wang Yifei listened with a smile, then suddenly thought of something and picked up the phone to send a message to her father.
She suddenly remembered that with such high annual profits, could it be that Want Want Group had also gotten involved in Hollywood business?
After all, there have been quite a few Chinese actors in Hollywood blockbusters over the years, including many Hong Kong actors.
What surprised her the most was the previous "Kung Fu Panda," an animated film with so many Chinese elements.
Furthermore, the Chinese culture depicted in it is very authentic and has not undergone any Hollywood localization.
If it were just an isolated incident, Wang Yifei wouldn't have realized it yet, but now, thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt that her father definitely hadn't told her the whole truth.
Not long after, her father replied to her message.
"Why ask so many questions? Do you really want to dominate Hollywood? Do you want everyone to call you the Queen of Hollywood?"
puff!
Wang Yifei was immediately amused after seeing the news about her father.
"Big Fish Bro, I'm going to get angry if you say that. What do you mean by 'Queen Bar'? Just say 'Queen' and that's it. Why do you have to add 'Bar'?"
Wang Duoyu, far away in Guangzhou, was currently strolling along Beijing Road Pedestrian Street with Wang Junxian and his children.
Seeing her daughter's reply, she smiled knowingly and casually wrote back:
Why are you suddenly asking this? How's filming going in Los Angeles?
On set in Los Angeles, Wang Yifei stared at the text on the monitor, lost in thought:
"He's changing the subject; Dad's definitely up to something. Could it be that Marvel really was acquired by the Want Want Group?" (End of Chapter)
