In the end, they still chose a European and American brawny guy to play the role.

Actors like this don't need to be picky, they're just regular people.

After Qi Hao's film started shooting, he received a system notification saying his task was complete and he could settle it at any time.

Obviously, "Lost on Journey 2: Thailand" was recognized as a comedy, and Qi Hao was indeed in the cast.

Now it's his turn on set, so naturally, the task was completed.

Qi Hao didn't settle the task on set but waited until he returned to the hotel after work to start the settlement.

"Are you tired?"

An Feng was also on set today, watching Qi Hao filming scene after scene with hardly any breaks in between, making her feel unbearably concerned for him.

This is probably another change after marriage.

Or it might have been there before, but it's becoming more obvious now.

She's more concerned about Qi Hao now, if anyone online criticizes Qi Hao, it bothers her more than criticisms of herself.

"I'm okay..."

Qi Hao couldn't really say he wasn't tired because of his metaphysical chair.

"How about calling someone to give you a massage?"

An Feng watched Wang Baoqiang give Huang Bo a massage yesterday, two guys wrestling with each other, and today she saw a foreigner fighting against two ladyboys.

This movie feels unreliable no matter how you look at it.

So, even though she didn't have much of a role in this movie, she absolutely refused to leave the crew and go back home.

"Let's... better not."

Qi Hao immediately vetoed this suggestion, having a man give him a massage was a turn-off, and he feared An Feng might feel disgusted with a woman massaging him.

He wasn't that tired anyway.

"Really don't need it?" An Feng felt happy, kneeling beside Qi Hao and eagerly saying, "How about I give you a massage?"

"That wouldn't be right..."

Qi Hao laughed, having An Feng give him a massage, now that's a treat!

If he had known, he would have acted even more exhausted.

"Come on, come on~"

An Feng said as she climbed onto Qi Hao's body.

She definitely lacked any technique.

But this position was a bit thrilling.

Not everyone could enjoy it.

Qi Hao let her mess around, enjoying it while starting to settle his tasks.

[Task 31 completed, Martial Arts +10, Script "Detective Chinatown 1~5", Business Information (DJI)]

[Task completed, gained training opportunity]

[Choose one NPC for training: Huang Bo/ Wang Baoqiang/ Ye Weimin]

[New tasks will now be released]

[Task 31: A fence has three stakes, one strong man has three helpers, people with great abilities also need help from others, especially in the entertainment industry where pushing someone down is common. Identify a group of potential directors and invest in at least three of their movies. Task difficulty: 4.5 stars, Deadline: 730 days]

[Task completion reward: Stamina +10, Script "Shoplifters", Basic Technology Package]

He glanced at the script casually and didn't pay further attention.

Qi Hao had seen too many of these, unless it was a script that helped him complete the main task, he wasn't interested.

The main task required him to win Best Film.

Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered a similar film lately.

Luckily, there was plenty of time given for the main task, so he wasn't desperate yet.

The main focus was the business information.

DJI...

DJI makes drones, Qi Hao already knew that.

After getting the task, he directly sent people to connect with this company.

Despite having blind trust in the system, he didn't jump in blindly but sent people to investigate the company's founders, business philosophy, core business, etc.

Mainly to avoid the awkwardness of same-name confusion.

If the system meant "DJI Fertilizer" and he mistook it for drones, it'd be quite embarrassing.

After confirming it was indeed this company, Qi Hao directly proceeded with the first round of financing.

Donghao Venture Capital invested 5 million US dollars, holding 20%, post-money valuation of 25 million US dollars.

With this money, this small company quickly began to develop, and many ideas that the founders had but lacked the money for, now found usefulness.

Qi Hao didn't care if this would speed things up too dramatically.

Since it's a company endorsed by the system, it shouldn't drown from watering a few days early.

Now, possessing business information about the company and even the whole industry, Qi Hao first looked at its financing history.

This would tell Qi Hao if he made profits or losses.

It also showed the future development of the company.

Sequoia Capital joined the first round of financing, the valuation was similar to Qi Hao's, about 20 million US dollars.

The timing was the end of last year.

Meaning, if Qi Hao hadn't acted first, and only waited for system information, he could only participate in the second round of financing.

Luckily, he acted early.

The second round valuation jumped to 120 million US dollars, introducing strategic investors like Qualcomm Ventures.

The third round Macquarie Group invested 30 million US dollars, valuation reached 500 million US dollars, funds directed towards overseas markets.

By the fourth round, revenue surpassed 300 million US dollars, valuation rose to 1.5 billion US dollars.

The fifth round valuation soared to 8 billion US dollars...

The sixth round valuation hit 12 billion US dollars...

The seventh round valuation climbed to 15 billion US dollars...

Pre-IPO round valuation reached 22 billion US dollars...

Qi Hao looking at the soaring valuations thought this investment was certainly worthwhile.

But as he looked further, he started sensing something was off.

Sanctions?

What kind of sanctions?

DJI wasn't making planes, why were sanctions involved?

Enjoying himself while drinking hotpot and singing, following Tongzi's instructions on investments, suddenly facing sanctions.

Damn it, the more he watched, the more he felt like the sky was falling.

The 20% DJI in his hand suddenly lost its charm.

Qi Hao felt very frustrated, he was just an ordinary person with no family background, working hard to build his own safety moat.

But inadvertently, he encountered something that shouldn't be touched.

I only had intentions for a bright moon, yet the bright moon lit up a ditch.

It's simply thunder on a sunny day.

Just like in "Let the Bullets Fly":

People don't want to believe, a bandit's name is Muzhi, they prefer to believe it's Pocky, they especially prefer to believe his face should damn well have pockmarks.

Miguo probably wouldn't want to believe the investor in their sanctioned enterprise Qi Hao had no ill will towards them.

Done, it's even less convenient to go abroad in the future.

Qi Hao numbingly looked at the company's "future," feeling more and more that the sanctions weren't undeserved.

Yet amidst the panic, he suddenly felt a bit of dark joy, what's up with that?

Zuo Zongtang said, one who can withstand heaven's grind is the true iron man, one who isn't envied is mediocre.

A private enterprise could achieve this level.

It's absolutely insane!

Xiaomi's business information didn't mention it being sanctioned, but Huawei and others were sanctioned repeatedly.

Qi Hao previously felt regret he couldn't invest in Huawei.

Wanted to give money for support, but couldn't.

Probably it was because of this regret, Tongzi gave him the opportunity to be sanctioned.

Now, what's there to be dissatisfied with?

Qi Hao dared not complain about Tongzi at all.

He randomly picked Huang Bo from the three NPC candidates, thinking this guy's acting would complement his own.

Then came the new task.

It's like wanting him to build his own director team.

Actually, Qi Hao had been working on this, Lu Yang was a typical "task item."

Wu Jing had been saying he wanted to shoot his own movie.

Who else?

Ye Weimin certainly didn't count now, "Lost on Journey 2" was already shooting.

Just need to find one more, then launch a project and send the money over, probably task completion.

But it's unclear how "potential" is calculated, feels it's best to find several candidates, cast a wide net, and select the best.

The reward attributes and script for the task were not mentioned.

The "Basic Technology Package" really sounded filled with anticipation.

It certainly wasn't just some science file folder.

Absolutely something useful.

My Tongzi roving the world for many years, being a super system beyond vulgar tastes, whatever he gave never disappointed.

Just don't know how the system would reasonably deliver this to me.

"Splat!"

An Feng slapped Qi Hao's butt hard, waking him from his contemplation.

"What's up?"

Qi Hao was puzzled, luckily the task settlement was over, or it'd be problematic if interrupted.

"Where's your hand going... when you went for massages, did you grope the technician like this?"

Too skillful.

An Feng held Qi Hao's lifeline, had to make him confess under duress, oh wait, confess truthfully.

"I've been wronged, I've never gone for a massage, been hustling since I was a teenager, didn't have money in the beginning, and when I got money, already famous, cherishing reputation, I also dislike physical contact with strangers..."

Qi Hao turned over, returning the massage favor to An Feng.

Though he didn't know how to massage, he knew how to cook.
