Chapter 294 - 294 Brothers
294 Brothers
Left with no other choice, Second Brother Le could only turn his attention to his good big brother.
Big Brother Le was truly capable. He had shown his talent in business at a young age. He invested a little here and a little there with his New Year’s money, and his money snowballed more and more. In his twenties, he had already accumulated enviable wealth. Most importantly, he was low-key and didn’t show his wealth.
Therefore, many people only thought that he was the Young Master of the Le family, which was why he was so generous. They didn’t know that he had earned this money himself.
Second Brother Le followed him around for a long time before he finally got Big Brother Le to agree to invest a large sum of money in his science fiction film.
Now, the money that Big Brother had promised him hadn’t yet arrived, and he had already angered him. This wasn’t worth it. Therefore, Second Brother Le’s expression changed and he became an obedient little brother again.
“Don’t worry, big brother. Don’t you have me? I’ll keep an eye on Jiang Min for you. If she has any unusual movements, I’ll report it to you immediately.”
Even Le Wan, who was standing at the side, found his flattering look rather novel.
“Second Brother, what weakness has made you fall into Big Brother’s hands?” She asked curiously.
Second Brother Le had grown up following Big Brother Le. Ever since he saw Big Brother Le achieve wealth and freedom early on, he had also been stimulated and became independent. He had also developed an awkward character of reporting only the good news but not the bad news. When something happened, he didn’t like to tell his family.
If he wasn’t really short of money, he wouldn’t have asked Big Brother Le for this. Therefore, when he heard Le Wan’s question, he avoided the important part and whispered in Le Wan’s ear,
“It’s just a small matter. I’m begging you to help me. I have no choice but to bow my head when I’m under your roof.”
Unfortunately, Big Brother Le didn’t have such concerns. Seeing that he was determined to put on airs, he directly exposed him.
“Hasn’t your second brother always wanted to film his science fiction movie? He’s hit a wall everywhere and can’t get so many investments. It’s not enough to pay with his own money, and he has to pull me in to cover for him.”
As soon as Big Brother Le said this, Le Wan’s body stiffened for a moment, while Second Brother Le’s face was a little embarrassed. He said,
“Who are we? Isn’t your thing mine? Aren’t my things also your things? We’re brothers.”
“Alright,” Big Brother Le replied. “Give me the latest limited-edition sports car you ordered.”
Second Brother Le’s eyes widened. He had been waiting for a long time for that sports car to be placed in line. How could he give it away so easily?
“Eh? I think I heard someone calling me. Is that mommy?” Second Brother asked. As he spoke, he retreated to the door and quickly turned around to run away.
Big Brother Le sneered at his shameless look. “You want to fight with me on this?”
When he turned around, he saw Le Wan’s sullen face and thoughtful look. He asked with concern,
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Zhai Jing, who was standing at the side, looked at her worriedly.
Le Wan came back to her senses and shook her head. She asked casually,
“No wonder Second Brother’s face changed as fast as magic just now. I heard that making a Sci-Fi movie is very expensive. How much did you invest in it, Big Brother?”
Big Brother Le put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly,
“A few hundred million.”
“Second Brother Le had already asked the company’s professional team to calculate the production cost of this movie in advance. It should be around 800 million Yuan.”
Second Brother Le had his own film and television company, but he had to support a large group of people. The company had a fixed amount of investment every year and a fixed number of projects to do. So, he couldn’t take out all the company’s money and ignore the rights and interests of other employees for his own dreams.
Therefore, he only allowed the company to be one of the investors and took out a part of the money as an investment. In addition, his personal mobile assets were just over 100 million yuan. With the sponsorship from his friends, Second Brother Le had gathered about 300 million yuan in total.
He was still 500 million away from 800 million, far from enough.
Big Brother Le saw that his brother was so determined to film this movie that he had even taken out all his money. Although he felt that the risk was a little high, he still took out money to support him.
Originally, Second Brother Le wanted to ask him for about 200 million yuan and he would think of a way to get the rest of the money. This way, at least he could share some of the risks. Big Brother Le, on the other hand, felt that it was troublesome. Since he had already paid two hundred million, he might as well pay the other three hundred million.
