After a few days of running around, Chen Shuo has more confidence in Miyin's entry into North America next year.
His investment model has always been the same, bringing in the old and bringing in the new.
When developing MiMi APP, because of the live broadcast business, Chen Shuo had new funds to create the Pingduoduo model.
After MiMi Mall began to take shape, Chen Shuo used this sign to spend money everywhere. By this time, his reputation had completely spread, and he began to attract investments from Echeng and Shunwei Capital.
Now he has sold two live broadcast platforms to Goose City and annexed Meituan, so he has a lot of money in his hands.
Then, smash it.
Smash hard into the short video.
In short, on the eve of the Spring Festival, Miyin’s black note logo began to appear frequently in major TV programs, including many popular variety shows.
By the end of next year, Chen Shuo plans to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala.
Chen Shuo feels that 2017 and 2018 were the best years in recent years. Of course, they were also the last glory of real estate.
Then take advantage of the past two years to work steadily, and when the day of masks comes, it will be an explosive development.
To put it bluntly, we are all products of the times. If masks had not locked everyone at home, the masses began to adapt to and rely on short videos as a way to quickly absorb advice, and then began to contact live broadcasts to bring goods. Short videos would not be the same. Maybe it has developed so rapidly.
So again, everyone is a pig running towards the wind. Whoever runs up first and stands firm will be able to face the first ray of breeze and soar ninety thousand miles.
Originally, Chen Shuo thought that nothing major would happen before the year, and he could just wait for the holiday in peace, but then he received a call.
Yes, Principal Wang.
Chen Shuo and Principal Wang were not very familiar with each other. They had met once when artists from his entertainment company came to compete in "Produce 101".
"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's going on?" Chen Shuo was basking in the sun in the courtyard of his home, crossed his legs and threw a cherry into his mouth, and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Shuo, you are very proud of yourself recently. I am in Mingzhou these two days. Do you want to have a drink with me? I have a girl."
It's as if someone is in need of a girl and he's looking down on someone.
My brother is also a rich man now, right?
Then, without waiting for Chen Shuo to speak, Principal Wang sent a few photos on WeChat.
Chen Shuo took a few glances and smiled: "Okay, when?"
"Just tonight, I will send you the location."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuo spat out Che Lizi's seeds and swiped his phone. However, the interface was not a chat box with Principal Wang, but a message from Shang Xiaoling.
Then, Chen Shuo dialed Shang Xiaoling's phone number.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. Wanda's liabilities have reached 600 billion. According to my information, Mr. Wang has recently planned to sell off his assets, including cultural tourism projects, real estate projects, and even Wanda's shares."
Chen Shuo also heard about this later, but didn't know much about it.
But now it seems that the once richest man is also starting to decline.
The reason is simple. The China Banking Regulatory Commission requires banks to investigate the credit and risk analysis of several key companies. These companies all have huge investments overseas and have huge bank loans. Among them, Wanda is on the list.
Immediately afterwards, the bank withdrew the loan. The so-called loan withdrawal means: the bank thinks that your company is no longer viable and there are big problems in its operation, so it needs to withdraw the loan in advance.
Then Mr. Wang discovered a terrifying reality: the company owed the bank 600 billion yuan.
Chen Shuo didn't know if the Wang family had ever thought about running away. If not, then Lao Wang was always really tough and able to resist.
If there was, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Mr. Wang's response is also very simple, direct and crude, that is, to start the sell-sell mode.
Wanda is all asset-heavy, real-life industries, commercial plazas, real estate projects, amusement parks, hotels, etc.
"Wanda has more than 400 commercial plazas located in more than 200 cities across the country. This is their core project. They can earn tens of billions of net profits a year just from rent collection. They will never sell it."< br>
"But, maybe the theater chain can negotiate."
Chen Shuo's thinking is also very simple. Seniors are all involved in this job. Whether to sell or not to sell is sometimes not just a matter of whether he wants to or not.
When the last resort comes, you have to sell even if you don’t sell.
The two things collided, and Chen Shuo probably guessed that Principal Wang was looking for him not just to chat about life with the internet celebrity in his arms, but to relieve his father's worries.
He knew that MiMi Pictures was gaining momentum, but its resources were all concentrated online. If Chen Shuo could have his own theater chain, MiMi Pictures' position in the entertainment industry would become very important in the future.
The place where I met Principal Wang was a very famous club in Mingzhou.
This guy is famous on the Internet. Wherever he goes, people will pick up their mobile phones to take two pictures and post them online: Look, Shi Cong is hanging out with his new girlfriend again.
Therefore, Chen Shuo was more careful. He waited for the large troops to enter the store before entering through the back door, and had bodyguards guarding him everywhere.
Inside the box
Chen Shuo pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Principal Wang, several of his younger brothers, and a dozen female internet celebrities who all looked the same, shaking their heads.
The little girls all wore very cool clothes, small suspenders, small black stockings, and small skirts.
After seeing Chen Shuo come in, Principal Wang put down his wine glass and shouted: "Hey, you guys who are messing around on the Internet, come and get to know each other. Chen Shuo, the boss of Miyin, Mituan Takeaway, Mimi Mall, and Station A, all belong to him." ! ”
"What are you still doing? The sponsor's father is here, come on!"
With that said, he pushed several internet celebrities into Chen Shuo's arms.
Chen Shuopi sat down with a smile on his face, hugging the two female internet celebrities, picked up his wine glass and touched it with Principal Wang.
Principal Wang brought two sifting cups: "Shake two?"
Chen Shuo nodded: "Shake it, let's play first, then talk after you finish."
Principal Wang glanced at Chen Shuo meaningfully, not knowing what he was thinking of. After sighing with a smile, he started to roll the dice with Chen Shuo.
"Three ones!" Principal Wang shouted loudly every time.
The two went back and forth, each winning or losing.
Next, they played card games for more than an hour, and also played tissue paper and other games. Chen Shuo also followed suit.
Those dewy female Internet celebrities are all eager to be kissed by Chen Shuo.
In the dark box, with only various spotlights shining back and forth, Principal Wang jumped on the dance floor for half a quarter of an hour before sitting down with a slight breath.
After taking out a few pieces of paper to wipe his sweat, Principal Wang waved his hand and said in a calm tone: "You all go out first."
The younger brother and the female internet celebrities looked at each other, but no one asked why and they left immediately.
The second generation of super rich people are all like this, but Principal Wang's personality is more outstanding. They will hang out with friends who are not from the same class because of some hobbies, such as games, drinking, etc.
But he has the final say, and he can play whatever he says. If he says he won’t play, he must stop playing.
Moreover, if you say you're going to fall out, you're going to fall out.
Are these people friends? Yes or no. They are more like followers and playthings.
After throwing a few ice cubes into the square cup, Principal Wang handed the cup to Chen Shuo: "Have you heard about my family?" Chen Shuo crossed his legs and said, "I heard something, but I don't know the details."< br>
"We are in trouble. Our family is in urgent need of money now, so we have to rush into some projects recently."
Principal Wang said it in a relatively general way, as if it was a light task, but in fact it was not about launching some projects, it was about selling off property.
After hearing this, Chen Shuo said directly: "Your company has so many industries, but there is nothing suitable for me. All I can think of is the theater chain."
Principal Wang listened and immediately laughed: "Aren't you interested in other things? Hotels, cultural tourism projects. Your A station focuses on the second dimension, and you are also engaged in IP. Buy some cultural tourism projects. You can build a theme park in the future. .”
The idea is right, and it can definitely make money, just like Bubble Mart, which opened its own theme park after it got up.
But if you buy it now, you are definitely out of your mind.
Chen Shuo smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have that much money now. I will go overseas after the new year. The expenses there are very huge, so if your old man is willing to talk to me about theaters, I can still work hard to scrape together the money. Of course, provided the price is right.”
After saying that, Chen Shuo glanced at Principal Wang: "Or can you make a decision and let the two of us talk directly?"
Principal Wang smiled: "I can't make the decision, I just want to be a forward and come to the capital when I have time. My dad wants to talk to you."
It is impossible for the theater chain to package them all and sell them to Chen Shuo, and Chen Shuo cannot afford them now.
But he can buy almost 10% of the shares.
With this equity and combined with Internet resources, MiMi Pictures can almost be regarded as a giant in the entertainment industry.
This is what we came for today. Now that we have come to a conclusion, Chen Shuo won't stay any longer.
"You really don't want to take a few with you?"
Principal Wang hugged several female Internet celebrities and asked with a smile: "When they see you, they are like wolves seeing meat. They will take a few away and they will risk their lives to serve you carefully at night."
"I have been abstinent recently, I will do it next time."
Chen Shuo waved his hand and declined. After walking out of the nightclub, he called Fang Keli and asked her to book the earliest flight to the capital tomorrow.
Do things quickly and neatly, and sooner or later you will take the pill sooner or later.
The next day
Chen Shuo arrived at Wanda Head Office in the capital.
After leading Fang Keli and Zhao Qin'er upstairs, Wanda's senior executives who came to receive them led Chen Shuo to the lounge.
"Mr. Shuo, we, Mr. Wang, have been meeting too many people recently. I feel sorry for you to rest here for a while. When the meeting with Mr. Wang is over, I will take you there immediately."
Of course Chen Shuo took it easy as he came, and sat down comfortably. There was food and drink in the lounge. If he really wanted to eat, he could order food and let the canteen prepare it.
"Then try Wanda's canteen. I heard that the food here is grown on their own farm, and the cattle and sheep are also raised by themselves."
Chen Shuo ordered five dishes and one soup. After waiting for less than half an hour, someone brought the food over on a dining cart.
Just after eating a bowl of rice, the executive left and returned: "Mr. Shuo, Mr. Wang invites you to come over."
Chen Shuo put down the empty bowl, picked up the mouthwash and went to the bathroom, then followed him into Mr. Wang's office with a swagger.
When he met Lao Wang for the first time, Chen Shuo felt that he was thinner than he remembered. It seemed that what had happened recently was really exhausting.
Come to think of it, after all, he is over sixty years old.
"Chen Shuo, right? Hello, hello. It's our first time meeting you."
Lao Wang, who was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, saw Chen Shuo, his eyes full of sizing and surprise. The young man in front of him, who was in his early twenties, could come to his office to discuss buying shares in a theater chain.
Think again about the one you have at home
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I have long admired your name." Chen Shuo shook hands with Lao Wang.
"Come, sit down."
Lao Wang led Chen Shuo to the sofa, and while serving tea, he looked at Chen Shuo: "Xiao Chen, how old are you this year?"
“It’s the 22nd of the New Year.”
"."
Lao Wang was holding the tea bowl and put it down before he put it to his mouth. He smiled and shook his head: "Oh, now the world is really dominated by young people. Old people like me can't keep up with the times, but you, you are too young. .”
Chen Shuo said modestly: "It's luck."
"How is everyone at home?"
"Everything is fine, my parents are in good health, and my sister is also growing vigorously."
Lao Wang nodded and sighed: "Family is the most important thing. Your parents have raised you very well. The little sister at home must have a lot of love, but don't be too doting. Just treat me as an elder who talks too much. Don't be too talkative." Sorry.”
"That won't happen."
Chen Shuo smiled and said: "Educating children is the top priority of the family."
Lao Wang smiled and nodded. No matter how difficult it was for him now, he would not be able to show an anxious look in front of Chen Shuo, a young man in his twenties. After decades of ups and downs, he had reached a state where he could not express his emotions or anger. .
Chen Shuo was not in a hurry to talk about business, so he just chatted.
To be honest, with a business tycoon like Lao Wang, you can learn something from chatting with him.
Even if he didn't learn anything, Chen Shuo would benefit a lot from listening to him talk about his past years, especially his methods of dealing with certain difficult things.
I only lived less than thirty years in my last life. Being able to make money is largely due to good luck and some talent. The business environment in Mingzhou is also the best in the country, so Chen Shuo has not encountered many bad things. The competition between the two countries is dirty, but it is also a weapon that avoids the rat.
After all, the worst they can do is die together. Nowadays, who can step on the horse’s ass without getting some shit from them?
Chen Shuo picked up the tea cup and looked at Lao Wang: "Mr. Wang must be very busy recently. It's really hard to find time to meet a junior like me."
"Many people have come to talk to me recently, and most of them came to me on their own. I sold cultural tourism projects for 40 billion, dozens of hotels, almost 10 billion, and this is 50 billion. After this period, Not difficult.”
Lao Wang waved his hands, but his momentum was still there: "My son should have briefly told you that the reason why he came to talk to you about the theater chain is because of the resources you have on hand now. I also have assets overseas, and there are also rumors there. Here’s the news, your overseas video platform is very marketable.”
"Coupled with the works produced by your film company in the past year, including the movies in preparation, I like it very much."
"So if you want to invest in a theater chain, I think this is a win-win situation. In the future, when it comes to film arrangement and other matters, of course we will also tilt resources towards our shareholders."
This is so true.
Chen Shuo now has only online resources and offline resources. To put it bluntly, there is nothing except the office building under construction.
"Because he is optimistic about me, will Mr. Wang give me a discount on the price?" Chen Shuo asked.
After hearing this, Lao Wang laughed a few times: "Okay, okay, I also like to be straightforward. Let's talk quickly. You go back to evaluate first, and then we will compare the price of a pair."
A pure entertainment company will definitely not be able to spend so much money. The only ones with real money in the market today are Internet companies.
"How about 6 billion yuan and 20% of the shares?" Lao Wang directly gave the price.
This price is cheap, which means that Lao Wang is still thinking about making a comeback.
Chen Shuo stretched out his hand directly.
"Deal." (End of Chapter)
