Looking at Andre who was gradually calming down and Matthew who had completely calmed down, Lan Li spoke up and joined the discussion.

"Your considerations are correct. Advantages and disadvantages are objectively present. Everything in this world is the same. We cannot just accept the benefits and reject the disadvantages. The interdependence of pros and cons is the essence of everything in the world. We can only choose a relatively correct decision in the end. Your position and viewpoint are correct. Even if I participate, the situation will not change. So, why not let you express your ideas and calm down and see if there is a more suitable choice."

After a round trip, I actually said it was like not saying it, it was all nonsense, but all of them were Lan Li’s old friends, and even nonsense could capture the hidden context.

Andre also calmed down, "You mean, you have made a decision?"

"It can't be considered a decision, but to clarify the ideas." As soon as Lan Li said, he saw Andre rolling his eyes: I'm used to dealing with the media and dealing with customers. Over time, my speech became a bit tricky, and I couldn't get around it. This is also the reason why Lan Li needs to play lyrics, and he needs his brain to get rid of that pattern.

Andre eventually threw the chocolate into his mouth.

"Matthew's consideration is correct. He is too dangerous. We cannot determine his true purpose now. The distribution of power is bound to be a potential problem." Seeing Andre say something else, Renley stopped him one step ahead and cast his eyes off. "Even if Andre's point of view is correct, it's really a pity to miss such an opportunity. Compared to Wall Street, he may have more possibilities and can let go and try it out."

Andre didn't speak.

Matthew chewed Renley's words carefully, "You mean, don't make a decision for the time being, observe first?"

"Yes, not." Lan Li smiled. "Actually, things are very simple. We agree now. It seems too urgent and may lose the initiative. He is an old fox or even a jackal. He will never miss the opportunity. It is not difficult to swallow Sisyphus and then set up his own business. We refuse now, not to mention whether it will hurt the harmony, establish an enemy in vain. Just talking about Sisyphus's current situation seems too hasty. We need financial support. It is precisely because he saw through the deep meaning behind my return to London in March that he extended an olive branch. It is obviously not wise for us to refuse so simply."

Matthew and Andre both fell into their own thoughts.

Eaton took the initiative to take over the topic and asked, "You mean, let's wait and see?"

"Waiting has two meanings. On the one hand, it is waiting for Roman. If he is really interested, this matter will not end here. There will be opportunities to meet in the future, and even special cooperation meetings, once, twice, three times, cooperation is far from that simple. I hope that he will throw 100 million pounds into Hall Venture Capital and then leave it alone. This is much simpler, but obviously, this is impossible." Lan Li's tone remained relaxed, far from the anxiety and irritability he imagined.

Eaton paused for a moment, but he wanted to speak, but found that neither Andre nor Matthew had any intention of speaking. After getting Lan Li's affirmative look, he still asked, "So, what if he is not interested? He gave up after two conversations? Or maybe he forgot afterwards?"

"Ha, that's the end." Lanli's answer made Eaton choke, but found that he could not refute it, and finally could only change the topic, "What about another meaning?"

"We also explore." The opening was Matthew. "We need to seek cooperation between Berlin and Venice, and we can also seek assistance from other sources of funding, just as Renley did in London in March."

At this time, Matthew also understood Lanley's real intention, and he and Andre were both attached to each other. "In fact, if we regard Roman as an ordinary investor, just like Paul, like Ryan, like us, then things are very simple. Lanley is actively seeking to inject more funds into Hall Venture Capital. If you can add another Roman, this is the most ideal state; but the problem now is that Roman is too strong, and his funds are far beyond our control, so the balance of rights is broken, which leads to concerns."

"Then, if we can seek more capital injection, just like the major shareholders and small shareholders of the consortium, take the rights in our own hands and then seek the support of more small shareholders, then even if Roman joins, we can still maintain our autonomy and voice. The most important thing is to seek other sources of funds and prove to Roman that he is not our only choice, and we are also not his only choice, so there is even more room for negotiation and discussion."

After saying that, Matthew cast his sight at Lanli, and Andre and Eaton also asked Lanli for his opinion with their eyes: Is this his abacus?

In fact, as long as they calm down, they can understand it. Lan Li’s advantage is that he always regards himself as an outsider in the business field, so he can be more neutral and objective; while they are all insiders, and they are not as clear as Lan Li’s vision, but when it comes to the execution stage, they are much more suitable than Lan Li’s outsider.

"In addition, there is another reason." Lanley did not deny it, which was equivalent to recognizing Matthew's speculation. "Do you know how much Roman's annual investment is for Chelsea?"

"One hundred million pounds? I can't remember the specific number, but it's about this number." Andre gave the answer, and he understood as soon as he spoke, and suddenly said, "Oh! Why did I forget this?"

Lan Li gave a clear affirmation, "Football and movies are two different things, especially building online streaming."

"For football clubs, investing 100 million pounds a year is a very, very incredible number. Their market value may be billions of pounds, but there is not that much liquidity. This is also the reason why Roman can rise instantly after accepting Chelsea. He has enough cash, just use cash to directly spend it. As for the background and culture, that is the long project that will come later."

"But for online streaming, we need a huge library of films, and continuously provide financial support, just like a bottomless pit, which requires continuous investment before making a profit. This is why Andre believes that we need Roman. In the first two years and the first three years, we were always short of cash. The problem is that Roman invests in Chelsea, with 100 million pounds a year, and can directly see the results in just one season, but Don Quixote Channel is not. So, how much is he willing to invest? Or, how much risk is he willing to take?"

To be blunt, 100 million pounds is a one-year transfer fee for Chelsea. It has created an emerging wealthy family in four years with 400 million pounds; but in the film field, the investment of a casual commercial blockbuster requires 100 million US dollars, and now many works have exceeded 200 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

These are two different things.

Lan Li was ready to slow down, wait and observe slowly, because he needed to consider, and Roman also had the same understanding of the film industry. Roman had a very poor understanding of the film industry. After waiting for an in-depth understanding, how much investment is needed in the first stage, how much investment is needed in the third stage, how much return is needed in the second stage, and how much return is needed. These are all issues that need to be discussed in depth. Roman is not sure that he is willing to invest after understanding everything.

This is also the difference between Renly and Roman.

Roman is a businessman. He needs to operate and manage, he needs to see the blueprint, and most importantly, he needs to see the profit, he hopes to be able to make bigger and more profits

But Renli is an actor and runs Sisyphus Films. The income is definitely part of the reason, but not the fundamental reason. This also means that even if the scale cannot be expanded, even if the investment reaches a certain level, he will be in a deadlock, even if the income does not meet expectations or even loses.

Therefore, even though he only has the first phase of start-up capital at hand, Lanley still painted a blueprint for the Don Quixote Channel, and did not even consider how to expand the blueprint in the future, perhaps, he did not think about expanding the scale at all.

Roman should find it difficult to understand Renli's "strategy". If it fails, messes up, loses money, and goes bankrupt, what should we do? As long as it is an investment, there is a risk of failure. Roman is not afraid of risks, but he needs enough benefits to make him take risks; while Renli does not need it.

This is the essential difference.

Lanli breaks away from the business framework and gives interpretation and understanding from an essential perspective, but it just grabs the lifeline of all problems.

Andre sighed lightly, "We are anxious."

Even though Roman sincerely hoped to cooperate with Renli, from expressing his wishes to achieving cooperation, there were still countless possible ways to ambush the truth during this period. Their arguments were correct, but they all pointed directly at the results too simply and ignored the many factors that affected the results.

Roman Abramovich, this name and the powerful wealth number behind him, inevitably limited the views of Andre and Matthew; on the contrary, Lan Li, who was outside, could see more clearly.

But… “You can tell us directly!” Andrey complained, “Watching us quarrel like fools here, and then pretending to be a transliterating angel by ourselves and playing lyrics next to us, do you know? This is so uncomfortable!”

"It's not the first day you know me." Lan Li naturally admitted Andre's "accusation" and had no intention of defending her. In fact, even if he stopped her, Andre and Matthew might not agree. After all, they still need to figure it out themselves. This made Andre speechless and silent for a moment, then continued, "I finally know why we didn't continue to contact after graduating from high school. You, the arrogant maniac, God, how did Matthew tolerate you?"

Matthew was sitting in the gun, but he was extremely calm, "Andre, have you heard that only people with inferiority will think that other people's confidence is an attack on themselves."

"..." Andre raised his hand and flew towards Matthew on the sofa.
