Chapter 775: The Man Who Married

After Yan Xin returned to Beijing, his life became much more relaxed and not as busy as when he was in his hometown.

But there are still some things.

Accompanying Feng Xi to inspect the industrial base of Jinxi Industrial Group, sometimes he would show up at Shiyu Beijing branch, and go to Anye Group Beijing branch with Feng Chen for a meeting or something.

There are also a lot of social engagements.

I have participated in gatherings of Feng Chen's business school classmates, gatherings of Feng Xi's Beijing University alumni association, gatherings of several university clubs, and gatherings of the Beijing Entrepreneurs Association.

The headquarters of Jinxi Group is in Beijing, and Feng Xi has also obtained a Beijing household registration. She has long joined the Beijing Entrepreneurs Association and is a permanent director.

She now has a wide network of contacts.

Maintaining personal connections also costs money, and you still have to attend necessary gatherings.

Yan Xin is in Beijing, so of course he has to go and join in the fun.

In addition, he also participated in several charity auctions, spending several million yuan and buying some useless things.

There is something new to do every day.

But it’s not tiring either.

During this period, he met Zeng Xiyue twice, once alone and once with Zeng Yan.

Zeng Xiyue has no new dramas to play during this period, so she is recharging herself in Beijing.

Now she not only studies acting and dancing, but also takes a cooking class to improve her cooking skills.

Both times we met, she showed off her cooking skills, which had indeed improved greatly.

Originally, Yan Xin was planning to arrange for her to play the leading female role in "The Journey of Flower", the first work of Starlight Film and Television Production Company. However, Zeng Yan brought him good news. That is, the artist who played the leading female role in the original version had been poached by Starlight Film and Television for a large sum of money and signed an eight-year contract.

That would definitely be to let the original actor play the role - after all, that is a proven successful choice.

Although Yan Xin also wanted to make Zeng Xiyue famous, he did not want to ruin an IP that could obviously be very successful.

We must clearly distinguish between public and private.

As a result, Zeng Xiyue lost the opportunity to play the leading female role.

In order to compensate her, Yan Xin and Zeng Yan discussed that they must give Zeng Xiyue the opportunity to play the leading female role in the next key TV drama project that Starlight Film and Television Investment Company would invest in.

If you can't get such an opportunity, you won't invest.

The pay is not important, what is important is the ranking.

There is such a project under negotiation now, and the name of the TV series also left an impression on Yan Xin. It is one of the relatively successful ones.

Of course, it can't be compared with blockbuster hits like "The Journey of Flower".

However, if you can get such an opportunity and perform normally, it won't be a big problem to become a second or third-tier TV star.

Zeng Xiyue also knew about this matter.

Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to realizing his dream of becoming a star, he was very excited and became more and more grateful to Yan Xin. Although he was still very shy when they were together, he was very cooperative with his requests and had no complaints.

Even some things that seemed unacceptable to her in the past, she can accept them now, and she does so willingly.

I just hope to make my boss happier.

It's just that she looks a little pitiful, and Yan Xin is embarrassed to ask for anything that is too excessive.

Not long after arriving in Beijing, the movie that Yan Xin had been looking forward to for a long time, directed and acted by Shan Zhengge, was finally released.

The film premiered on December 2012, 12.

The investment in this film is not large, less than 30 million, of which Starlight Film and Television Investment Company accounts for half of the share.

Zeng Yan estimated that the box office revenue of this movie would be between tens of millions and 100 million.

In her mind, if the box office revenue can exceed 100 million, it would be a great success.

She knew that Yan Xin had high expectations for the movie, but she didn't think so. She felt that the chances of losing money were greater.

It doesn't look like a movie that will be a hit.

If we can keep the cost down, we will be considered successful.

As a result, the box office on the premiere day gave her a huge shock.

The release day was Wednesday, a very ordinary day.

However, the box office on that day reached 30 million, becoming the box office champion of the day.

And it has a very good reputation.

This was a very strong start, and it made her raise her expectations for the box office immediately. She felt that there would be absolutely no problem in breaking 1 million, and maybe even breaking million or million, which would be a huge profit.

At this time, she was completely convinced by Yan Xin.

I didn’t expect that the boss not only had such accurate judgment on investing in TV series, but also in movies.

Before this, who could have believed that a movie directed by a second-tier actor for the first time would have such a high box office?

She herself doesn't believe it.

Few people in the industry believe it.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so difficult for Brother Shan Zheng to attract investment.

A few days later, she raised her expectations again.

On weekends, more people go to the movies, so the box office is higher.

The film's single-day box office even reached 9 million.

The box office revenue for just this one day was enough to make back their investment.

The box office results for the first week came out and it had already exceeded 300 million.

At this time, Starlight Film and Television Investment Company had already made tens of millions in profits with its investment of more than 1000 million.

It's only been out for a few days.

Normally, it will be shown for a month.

If the box office is good, you can apply for an extension. It’s no problem to release it for two or three months.

This is not just an ordinary hit, this is a huge hit.

And the word of mouth is still growing.

Zeng Yan felt it was unreal.

She had originally hoped that Yan Xin would transfer money from other companies to invest in this film and television company to realize her dream.

But now looking at the box office performance of this movie, she feels that she doesn't need to move money from other places, as she has enough funds to invest in her own film and television production.

The current box office performance of this movie makes her feel that earning 100 million yuan will not be a big problem.

Add to that the profits from other film and television projects, the total is almost more than 200 million.

With such sufficient cash flow, there will be no problem in producing movies or TV series.

It is even possible to start several projects at the same time.

With such guarantees, she accelerated the process of setting up a film and television production company.

They even had the confidence to recruit first- and second-tier stars. Yan Xin learned about the box office trends in the first week and found that they were not much different from what he remembered, so he was relieved and did not pay much attention to it.

——Once you know the result, you naturally won’t be very interested in the process.

At the end of December, he and Feng Xi returned to their hometown with their children.

This time I didn't go back by plane, but by high-speed rail.

The high-speed rail from Beijing to their city has finally been fully opened. Now it is much more convenient to go home. There is no need to fly to the provincial capital and then return to the city.

Although airplanes fly faster, too much time is wasted before and after getting on the plane. In addition, you need to transfer trains, which is quite tiring. It is not as convenient as taking the high-speed rail.

They didn't stay in their hometown for many days, mainly to leave their child to be taken care of by their parents. Then the couple went to Europe to attend the wedding of Jiang Manyun and Cui Shao.

Ai Lili, Xiao Shiyu and the others were not that familiar with Cui Shao and Jiang Manyun, so they did not go over to join in the fun.

However, Shu Yi, who was in Europe, attended Jiang Manyun's wedding as her friend.

The wedding was quite lively, and Yan Xin and his wife were generous and gave expensive gifts.

Jiang Manyun seemed very happy - she and Cui Shao finally got married.

She knew how much competition she faced, and even though she had already been confirmed as a fiancée, she still felt insecure.

She was not very clear about how many women were around her man, but she knew that it was a very large number, definitely not in the single digits.

She knew that there were four or five people who were qualified to compete with her.

Now we are finally married.

Although marriage may lead to divorce, at least for now, she has defeated her competitors.

She has a lot of wealth now, but she knows very well that by marrying Mr. Cui, she is still marrying up.

The reason she was able to get the opportunity to work with Feng Xi was not because of her own strong abilities, but because she was Cui Shao’s fiancée, so others gave her such an opportunity.

Without the channels provided by Feng Xi, she would not be able to do her current business at all.

When two people get married, they become legal husband and wife. Their interests are more closely tied together and they get more benefits. Of course, she is happy.

When I have children in the future, they will be born superior to others because of their blood.

It can be said that a real leap in class has been achieved.

In this regard, even if Yan Xin and his wife are much wealthier than her, they are still not as good as her.

Sometimes, in some places, blood is more precious than money.

——At her point, marriage has nothing to do with love, but with interests.

When some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy.

For example, the groom, Master Cui, was not that happy.

He felt that he was still young and should have more fun while he was young instead of tying himself to marriage too early.

It's just that their marriage was the family's idea, and he couldn't disobey it.

The main reason why his family wanted him to marry Jiang Manyun so early was that Jiang Manyun's own business was now very successful and had a scale of several hundred million euros.

Moreover, it has tied up with the domestic market and has a good momentum of development. It has even launched several affordable luxury brands of its own - these are brands that are truly made in Europe and are very popular in China.

Following this trend, assets may reach billions of euros or even higher in the future.

Such a gold mine must of course be tied to the family as early as possible.

This is wealth created by the woman herself.

There are many people who covet it.

If they continue to leave her alone as before, one day she might turn to someone else and marry someone of the second or third generation, and then they would suffer a huge loss.

——There is no way to limit this thing.

Common people are not qualified to compete with them, nor do they dare to compete with them, but for those at the same level, this problem does not exist.

We are at the same level and there are competitors, so we won’t worry so much.

They would also be tempted by such a huge amount of wealth.

Who doesn’t love money?
And it is wealth created by overseas companies.

That would be even more outrageous.

Even without talking about the issue of money, simply creating more high-quality jobs in this overseas company can legally solve the problems of many family members.

The family knew that Mr. Cui didn't really want to get married right now, but they still forced him to get married.

And it's not just about getting married, he was also warned that after marriage he should be better to his wife, be more loyal, and not mess around like he did before.

Cut off ties with those women if you can, but don't get divorced too quickly.

He was even told that if he divorced, the family would no longer give him any support.

After all, there is only one reason - now that Jiang Manyun has made a lot of money and her status has improved, he needs to sacrifice his freedom to please Jiang Manyun.

This made him quite depressed.

He complained to Yan Xin privately:

"Brother, when will our Starlight Short Video be able to stand up? If it can't stand up, I will have to kneel down!"

The number of downloads of the Starlight App has exceeded 100 million, and it remains the industry benchmark to date.

The valuation is also very high, having already exceeded 10 billion.

Mr. Cui got a certain amount of shares in this company for free, and his family also tacitly acknowledged that they were his.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be outdone by Jiang Manyun.

However, despite its high valuation, the company's profits are not high now. In fact, due to its large scale, the maintenance costs are higher, and any profit it originally had has now been lost.

Apart from an illusory valuation, the shares in Cui Shao's hands have not brought him any profits.

Therefore, his importance in the family's eyes has been surpassed by Jiang Manyun. The family is even unwilling to consider his feelings and treats him as a tool and a man for marriage.

His biggest expectation now is that this short video platform can quickly gain momentum, make more money, be able to hold his head high in the family, and gain greater freedom.

Yan Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, in 10 years at most, our short video platform will become a giant Internet company."

"Ten years... that's too long!" Cui Shao said depressedly, "I have to bow my head in front of this woman for ten years. I'm afraid I will get depression."

"It's not that serious. It will grow gradually. I believe it won't take too long for everyone to see the potential of this platform." Yan Xin comforted him.

He knew that Cui Shao was very anxious, but he could only persuade Cui Shao not to be anxious.

The current hardware facilities are not up to standard, so it is not suitable for big moves.

The functions of smartphones are not that powerful, the proportion of smartphone owners is not high, and the network construction is not that strong, so it cannot support a large short video market.

But in another year or two, we will be able to use our big moves to crush our competitors one by one.

Of course, the prerequisite is to have money.

And it would cost an astronomical amount of money.

He felt that in another year or two, he should be able to raise that much money.

So he is not in a hurry.
