The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 129

How do they disagree with each other?

Who should they listen to?

A single investor saves a lot of trouble because they only need to please one person, which is preferable to them.

“Can I change director?” David asked with a smile.

“Hah?” Homer looked confused.

Not only her, but Marie and Hannah also looked stunned. They did not expect David to make such a request. Homer understood immediately. David must have had a grudge against her for scolding Marie earlier. Didn't he humiliate her when she scolded the woman in front of him?

He regrets it now. He should have straightened out the facts first. What should he do now?

Although he was the head of the film, investors were the core of the project. Without the investor's money, the project would never work. On the contrary, any director with a bit of fame could replace him.

If David is indeed a supporter of this film, he can replace it with just one word. Simple reason. The project could have gone without him, but it would have failed without investors like David.

“Mr... Mr. Lidell! I actually..”.

Homer wanted to explain, but David cut it off before he could finish.

“Can I change director or not?” David asked as he looked at Marie and Hannah.

“You can, but ..”

Before Hannah could finish it, David cut it off by saying, “It's fine as long as I can replace it. Aren't you Marie's manager? I will leave this matter to you. My initial investment was a billion dollars. I'll recharge if it's not enough.”

David's phone rings.

“Halo?” David answered the phone and said.

“Mr Lidell, I have some contracts here for you to sign! Are you at the hotel?” Hugo Carlos, head of the Capital investment team, said.

“Yes! I'm in the hall on the sixty floor. Come hither. I happen to want to talk to you about something" David said.

“OK, Mr. Lidell. Give me a minute!”

A few minutes later, Hugo came panting at David. He did not dare to make the big boss wait.

“Mr... Mr. Lidell, here are some documents you need to sign.” Hugo said gasping for breath.

Without a single glance, David doodled it and said, “I want to invest in a film with an initial investment of one billion dollars with the possibility of adding it later if not enough. Talk to Hannah about the contract. I won't get involved.”

“OK, Mr Lidell!” Answer Hugo.

Then, he turned to Hannah and said, “Halo, I'm Hugo Carlos, chief of Mr. Lidell's investment division in the Capital.”

He did not mention East League International. That's because East League International is now quite famous in investment circles, and David says he doesn't want anyone else to know that he's the boss behind East League International.

“Ha-Hello! My name is.. My name is Hannah Clement!” Hannah stammered.

He has not returned to his senses.

How did David go from a con man to a boss?

From the looks of it, a billion dollar investment was nothing to him.

‘Gosh! How could Marie meet such a rich man? He is young! He's handsome!And he's rich!'

Homer froze in place. ‘What did I just hear David say? He's going to invest one .. a billion dollars first? He will recharge if it later is not enough?’

If funds are available, he believes the film will become famous both at home and abroad. At that time, he could take the next step and become an internationally renowned director.

Although he is now a locally renowned director, his status is very different from that of an internationally renowned director, although there is only one word difference in the title.

Just look at the premiere of an internationally renowned director. Their appeal was more than ten times stronger than the films he released.

It looks like he's been taken out of the equation.

He pulled the rope for the film. However, once the money is in place, there seems to be nothing more she can do once Hannah contacts the screenwriter and producer to find a new director.

‘What should I do? Will my chance of being promoted to internationally famous director just disappear before my own eyes?’

Homer felt his blood pressure rise and his head felt heavy at that moment. He hated his mouth for being so cruel. He would kneel down and apologize to David if they were not in front of so many members of the entertainment industry around him.

Not only does he want a chance, but he also wants David's forgiveness.

Hugo and Hannah exchanged contact details. They could handle the rest on their own, so David left them alone.

A small investment worth about a billion dollars meant nothing to him, but he was able to develop it immediately through this investment.

After the problem was over, Hugo went down to continue his work. Although it was time to get home from work, he still had to work overtime to take care of some of the contracts he had voluntarily entered into. In any case, David paid him five times his previous employer's salary.

David stepped back and sat in the corner.

Homer stands not far from David, wondering how to find an opportunity to explain to David.

Mr. Wilson is a little embarrassed. These people did not even take it into account when discussing. He was a little dissatisfied at first. Gradually, she discovers that David is not someone she can hurt. He seems to be the heir of a powerful family.

‘This child is terrible! I will leave obediently and secretly!’

Hannah pulled Marie aside and asked, “Marie, how did you get to know Mr.... Lidell?”

“Hana, haven't I told you before? I met Mr. Lidell the last time I was in Lake City. He even saved my life!” said Marie.

“How do you know him? Be more specific!”

“Mr York slapped me twice the last time I was in Lake City. He also wanted me to sleep with him. Mr. Lidell saved me back then. When we met at the charity party again, he not only spent five million dollars to buy my dance, but also spent a hundred million dollars on his own song and donated the money. He's a very nice person!” Marie said rather cheerfully.

He saved her from Mr. York from Lake City. He also gave more than a hundred million dollars at the charity gala. David must be the heir of a rich family!

He even thought David was just a con man who had a handsome face.

Fortunately, he did not say that out loud. He felt himself blushing now.

“Why.... why didn't you tell me before, you fucking girl?” hannah said, slightly blushing.

“I told you! But you don't seem to care much. Hah... Hannah, why is your face so red?” Marie asked as she looked at Hannah's face.

“I'm fine! I'm doing fine! I'm going to the restroom. Just chat with Mr Lidell!” Hannah covered her face and ran away.

Hannah washes her face in the bathroom and looks at herself in the mirror.

Although she was already over 30 years old, her figure was still like a young girl. She even has an adult appeal that young girls don't have.

Even after washing her face, her makeup-free face was no worse than an ordinary celebrity.

He is confident about himself.

Many young men like adult women like her. However, she did not seem to be seducing David at all. Does he just like an innocent girl like Marie?

He is also attracted to almost perfect men like David.

Now 33 years old, she is also looking for someone to lean on. He did not expect to have a happy ending with a wealthy heir like David and instead just wished he thought about it sometimes. It would be better if he could have a baby.

Unfortunately, David doesn't seem to be very interested in her. David had no idea that a mature and beautiful woman had been staring at him. However, he was not the only one who noticed it.

She now sits in a corner waiting for the final donation ceremony while Marie talks to her.

Homer tried to come a few times, but David and Marie were busy talking and laughing at each other. He was afraid that he would upset her if she failed to explain herself when she rushed over.

The premiere of this film was held to gather the elites of the homeland entertainment industry to be able to discuss the direction of the film industry and establish networking with business partners. Of course, it takes a strong filmmaker to bring everyone together.

Not long after, an old man in his 60s stood on the stage. He was the originator of this meeting, internationally renowned director Jeffrey Hubbard.

“Goodnight to all of you, and welcome to this premiere ..…”

After saying a few pleasantries, he finally went on to business.

“I think you guys must be curious about what I've filmed this time. I can tell you that this is a documentary. I've spent two years traveling to many of the country's impoverished mountainous regions to film this, and I can assure you that everything in it is real. Happy watching.”

After Jeffrey finished, the film began to play on the big screen behind him. Guests in the hall stopped talking and looked for a seat to watch the movie. David was impressed after watching the one-and-a-half-hour film.

The film focuses on how difficult it is for children in poor mountainous areas to go to school. Many of the children had to leave their homes at 4 or 5 before dawn to attend school. They had to walk three or four hours on the mountain to reach the damaged school.

The school had no doors or windows. A cold winter wind blew, and the hands, feet, and faces of the students became red from the cold, but they still sat in the classroom and studied hard.

Some schools have difficulty recruiting teachers because of their poor condition. The teachers there should know enough of everything because they have to teach the whole subject.

Some schools even had only one headmaster left behind, keeping the only hope for children in this mountainous area.

It was similar to the charity gala David attended in Lake City last time. However, this one was filmed by an internationally renowned director, so it was much more classy than the last 10-minute video clip. It was also more influential and closer to the heart. Many of the female guests shed tears in the end.
