The New Year is here, Dong Liu In the new year, I wish you all: good health, academic success, smooth work, all your wishes come true, all the best, and a good harvest in work and love!
First of all, after getting the full support of Nalan Bai, Nirvana Pictures, the company that she almost single-handedly brought up, once again returned to the hands of Li Congxin.
As soon as Li Congxin took control of the company, he mortgaged all the company's property, movie copyrights, and character IPs to the bank and obtained a loan of 3.8 billion.
It is worth mentioning that the manuscript of "Doupo Cangqiong" has actually been coded by Li Congxin and has always been stored in his personal hard drive.
After he was involved in Time Vortex, Old Pi decisively decrypted the hard drive. The subsequent sales of new books were not affected at all, and the royalties were directly credited to his personal bank card. So far, Li Congxin has a balance of 500 million in his bank card.
After that, Li Congxin mortgaged all related copyrights including Doupo's film and television adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, etc., and obtained a loan of 600 million yuan.
Added together, the funds that Li Congxin individuals can use alone are as high as 774.9 billion!
Classmate Daredevil, who was almost going crazy from poverty, actively responded to the organization's call this time. He integrated all the original assets of the Hand and mortgaged them to the bank in one go. He obtained a loan of 160 million and gave it to Li Congxin for full processing.
Then there is Old Pi. He said that he is a scientist and has no interest in money.
However, in order to support the development of Li Congxin, the old man also mortgaged the company stocks he held to the bank in one fell swoop, and was willing to lend this part of the money to Li Congxin, and he could do whatever he wanted. After tinkering, all he had to do was return the principal, and his pair of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" was placed with Old Pi as collateral.
Old Pi undoubtedly wanted to use this to repay Li Congxin's favor of risking his life to save him. Li Congxin couldn't defeat him and could only accept this kindness.
As a result, Li Congxin already has 4.9 billion from himself, 160 million from Daredevil, plus the 14.44 billion that Old Pi used to round it up, for a total of 20 billion!
Throw all this money to the professional Nalan Bai. Li Congxin's strategy is to short Stark Industries's stock!
Although Nalan Bai has never been very polite to Li Congxin, in fact, he has almost nothing to say about his kindness. Not to mention, as far as Nirvana Pictures is concerned, when Li Congxin handed the company over to her, it was just a prototype that only existed in planning, but now it has become a behemoth with an important position in Hollywood.
During these nine years of operation, if there were a more selfish person, there would definitely be a hundred ways for him to change his surname to Nalan.
But Nalan Bai, after seeing Li Congxin, handed the company back to him without hesitation.
Li Congxin was deeply moved by Xiao Bai's emphasis on integrity and allowed her to continue to serve as Nirvana Pictures's COE and as the helmsman of Nirvana Pictures.
Li Congxin, as the commander-in-chief behind the scenes, is only responsible for the overall development plan of the designated company and does not care about the specific details.
He did this not only out of his absolute trust in Nalan Bai, but also in order to have more events to continue to improve his strength, and at the same time cooperate with Old Pi to conduct scientific research on the Quantum Realm.
In order to face the powerful enemies one after another in the future, he must make himself stronger!
After everything was arranged, it was already three days later. Li Congxin, who just thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, was dragged to his laboratory by Old Pi, saying that he had something good to show him.
When Li Congxin saw the "good thing" Old Pi said, his whole body felt bad.
It was a container made of bulletproof tempered glass. It was a squirming black object, about the size of a fist. It looked like melted asphalt, which was somewhat disgusting.
Almost as soon as he saw this thing, Li Congxin blurted out its name: "Venom! Oh, no, it should be called Symbiote."
With the current strength of Li Congxin, a mere Symbiote is not very important. After all, this thing is afraid of sound waves and fire, and it is the type that Li Congxin can defeat.
God-Tier BGM System Know about it?
Just play "Opera 2" with no attribute bonus, and you can teach him how to do Symbiote in minutes.
What really makes Li Congxin feel depressed is that from this Symbiote, which is suspected to be Venom, Li Congxin faintly feels a familiar breath of life, but it is the same as the black chrysanthemum attached to the meteorite that he saw at the Hand headquarters!
It turned out that after listening to Li Congxin tell the detailed story of the battle with Kingpin that day, Old Pi felt a little uneasy.
This is of course not because he could foresee the existence of this Symbiote, but because of his cautious character as a scientist, he is instinctively skeptical of all possibilities that simply exist in theory.
In his words, before officially confirming the enemy's death, it must be reconfirmed with an attitude that the opponent's life or death is unknown.
If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see corpses!
As a result, they really discovered the problem this time.
It turns out that Kingpin has been possessed by Symbiote and has become its host. However, the injuries caused by Li Congxin to him before were too great, and coupled with the impact of free falling at an altitude of 150 meters, it was not easy for Symbiote to heal him before he could absorb enough strength.
When Old Pi and Matthew arrived to find them, the treatment was still in its initial stages.
According to common sense, more than 90% of creatures are afraid of fire, so flames became Old Pi's first method to try to deal with this thing, but he was really fooled by it.
Symbiote was forced out of Kingpin's body by the flames, and Kingpin burped on the spot. Symbiote was also captured alive by Old Pi and brought back to the laboratory.
Then, they returned to the villa quietly and talked with Li Congxin about making money. Until everything was ready, Fang took Li Congxin to admire his prey.
After listening to Old Pi's description, Li Congxin couldn't help but sigh that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
It seems that in this regard, I still have to learn from him!
After Li Congxin shared the information about Symbiote in his memory, the two unanimously decided to keep it tightly sealed for the time being, and then take it out and study it slowly after Aunt Pi was rescued.
As for why Li Congxin calls this thing Symbiote instead of Venom?
Because Symbiote is the collective name of a species, Venom is just the name of one of them, and Li Congxin cannot be sure that the one in front of you must be the one that appears in the movie.
This is what he just learned from Old Pi, the excellent quality of always maintaining a rigorous attitude as a scientist.
