"Was there something else just now?"

Zhanqi Laiden rarely gets curious, but just now Old Tian was on the phone with Qi Hao for a full half hour.

It definitely wasn't just about Beibi.

The Beibi issue could be solved in three sentences.

"Yes, it's not really a secret; I can tell you, but it can't be spread around."

Old Tian didn't hesitate much.

Zhanqi Laiden and Shi Feng exchanged glances, both somewhat excited.

It must be a new business opportunity.

Whether they're aggressive or conservative, there's no one who doesn't love money.

With money, there are so many things you can do.

Hmm, and there are many capable people as well.

"Qi Hao wants Donghao Venture Capital to absorb as many Tesla stocks as possible."

Old Tian couldn't possibly handle this personally.

The specific work still has to be handed over to team members like Zhanqi Laiden and Shi Feng, who are both on the Donghao Venture Capital team list.

They would find out about this sooner or later.

"Tesla... never heard of it. Does the boss see this company's growth potential?"

Shi Feng not having heard of it doesn't mean he dismisses it.

In fact, as long as Qi Hao, the Little Buffett, thinks it's fine, he accepts it unconditionally.

"Yes!"

Old Tian also worshipped Qi Hao as a stock god unconditionally; over the years, Qi Hao bought and sold many stocks, rarely failing.

"Shouldn't we dabble in this as well?"

Zhanqi Laiden looked at Old Tian.

A while ago, the executives over at Qi Hao's side co-founded an investment company.

Not only did they get Qi Hao's permission, but they also received partial funding from Donghao Venture Capital and Feiyang Media.

Company executives and veterans all have shares in it.

The businesses on Qi Hao's side are very clean; despite seeming complex, they all eventually consolidate under Donghao Venture Capital, controlled by him personally.

He didn't intend to give shares to the executives.

Mainly, Qi Hao's businesses are too lofty; in the birth process of over a billion US dollars of wealth, these executives hadn't contributed much.

No matter how good the relationship is with Old Tian, Qi Hao couldn't give away 20% of Donghao Venture Capital's wealth to him.

That's several hundred million US dollars.

Old Tian presumably would be embarrassed to ask for it anyway.

Now, Old Tian and his group jointly established an investment company, and following Qi Hao to eat meat and drink soup wasn't much different from having direct shares in the company.

Heartbreak 33 Days literally has 5% investment from this company.

Lost on Journey 2 even reached as high as 10%.

Moreover, Qi Hao's wealth acquisition is relatively simple, practically like a pie falling from the sky.

Completing a task brings in several hundred million revenue.

Hence, he doesn't put much weight on the earnings of Zhonghao, West Hao, and Feiyang Media.

He uses these more as tools to assist his power and tasks.

He offers particularly high salaries to his brothers.

The company veterans each earn a yearly salary of a million, and several core executives earn over a thousand... ten thousand!

An average person has limited investment avenues.

Barring buying a house, these funds have nowhere else to go.

Yet Old Tian and his group met Oriental Manager, why would they still fully purchase houses?

They'd almost always use loans to buy property.

Using the remaining funds either to buy two more houses for investment, or to put into this joint company and follow Qi Hao's lead.

"Then let's do it, but let the word be clear beforehand. Firstly, this matter is team-limited; other people shouldn't be told, to avoid alarming too many people and ruining Qi Hao's big plans. Secondly, the investment term appears to be long-term again, everyone should proceed based on their abilities."

Old Tian didn't forget to remind everyone.

Naturally, others nodded repeatedly.

Everyone had some discussions, not having a problem pooling together millions.

This wasn't their first time doing this.

During this year's 3Q war when Penguin's stock price plummeted, Qi Hao invested heavily.

The company executives followed suit.

If asked why they invest while others are running away, questioning if they have some investment tricks.

Well, everyone's investment trick is to follow Qi Hao.

Whatever Little Buffett does, everyone follows.

But in reality, Qi Hao isn't acquainted with Tesla; he merely blindly trusts Tongzi, just as how company executives blindly trust him.

Based on a Tesla stock price of $21, three hundred thousand Tesla stocks could be worth tens of millions of dollars.

Qi Hao assumes Tongzi wouldn't be this low.

That's unbecoming.

Thus, it can be inferred that Tesla will certainly be very cool in the future, with a stock price that can rise to compare with Apple, or at least not lag far behind.

These tens of millions of dollars worth of stocks could at least double tenfold.

Given this, why would Qi Hao idly wait for the system to reward him?

Why can't he buy it himself?

He can easily raise sixty million dollars, purchasing three million shares before completing any task.

As for its impact on Tesla.

For such a publicly traded company, what impact could there be under a free trading environment?

Qi Hao invested in Xiaomi; Xiaomi felt honored instead.

Lei Jun thought seeing Donghao Venture Capital take interest in Apple and then look at Xiaomi suggests Xiaomi's development should be worry-free, even though the company hasn't produced a single product yet.

Many in the investment community hold similar views.

The outside world buzzes, and Qi Hao returned from the Golden Horse Awards to seclusion to shoot movies.

He happened to return to shoot the scenes where he and Li Lianjie have a confrontation on a large ship.

Li Lianjie, with two helpers, tried assassinating Qi Hao.

There are always unruly elements wanting to harm me.

In the storyline, it's a ship sailing west from Luoshui to Dragon Gate, but filming certainly couldn't drag an ancient ship onto the river.

Not only due to scenery setup, but there's also the matter of filming difficulty.

Luckily, Xu Ke isn't Nolan, nor did he have funds to support live-action shooting.

Everything was filmed in front of a green screen in a studio.

Effects were added later post-production.

The advantage of the studio is the abundance of equipment and safety compared to live-action filming.

Qi Hao performed wire work alongside Li Lianjie.

Kicking Li Lianjie certainly wasn't possible; the two never actually made contact.

It's a martial arts film, not an action movie; it couldn't achieve hand-to-hand combat.

Nonetheless, even with pure techniques compared, it could still be seen that Li Lianjie's movements were agile; his skills hadn't rusted over the years.

"You're pretty adept, Qi Hao, have you practiced swordplay?"

Qi Hao could see Li Lianjie's vigor age-defying, likewise, Li Lianjie could see Qi Hao is no novice.

"Learned a few moves from Daoist Suiyun."

Qi Hao didn't pretend to be humble; his swordsmanship largely came from learning from the Fake Daoist himself.

The Fake Daoist didn't merely have Qi Hao follow videos.

When everyone had free time, they'd gather, especially when Gao Yang invited Qi Hao for drinks, always bringing along Daoist Suiyun.

Daoist Suiyun hand-taught Qi Hao how to wield a sword many times.

"I feel our scenes can be improved, bring in some real skills; currently, the design feels a bit lacking."

Li Lianjie loosened up his limbs, feeling he was still up to task.

Action director Yuan Bin was a bit tempted.

Designing action for this film was a heavy burden for him.

The previous film's "New Dragon Gate Inn" had action guided by Cheng Xiaodong, a master on par with Yuan Heping.

He had to design moves with his own style, while not falling short compared to the original.

Unfortunately, the lead actress Zhou Xun wasn't a martial arts performer.

Lead actor Li Lianjie was old and couldn't fight.

With the two just teetering around, portraying nonsense, it was tough to shoot appealing action-scene choreography.

But with both lead stars not being up to mark, what could he as an action director do?

"Don't make it too risky, confident?"

Xu Ke thought it was possible.

With Li Lianjie voicing it and the director not opposing, Yuan Bin suddenly got enthusiastic:

"Qi Hao, show us the sword techniques you know, I'll use them as a basis to design the action."

"I need to make a call to the person who taught me swordplay."

Qi Hao couldn't just apply them directly, it's not a matter of promoting Daoist culture; that's for fooling honest folks.

The Fake Daoist on the other end didn't delay much, letting Qi Hao use the techniques freely.

Xu Ke decided he'd express thanks to their institute later.

Even if Li Lianjie believes in Buddhism, he couldn't say much at this moment.

Thus, Qi Hao and Li Lianjie successfully achieved a peak showdown.

Born in 1963, Li Lianjie was 47 years old in 2010.

Qi Hao just happened to fiercely beat up an old man over fifty.
