This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 387 Yang Chaoyue: Don't be angry, okay?
Wenlan Culture was established in 2016. At the beginning of its establishment, it cooperated with a domestic artist agency to select a female idol team called "CH2", including Yang Chaoyue.

"CH2" has been in operation for more than a year, and has never been well-known. Until March 2018, Yang Chaoyue was recommended to "Creation 3".

Yang Chaoyue seized the opportunity in "Produce 101" and became popular overnight. After that, he maintained his super popularity by virtue of his stable performance, and finally formed a group and won the No.3 good result.

The appearance of Yang Chaoyue brought the company Wenlan Culture into the public eye. Up to now, it has become a well-known artist agency in China.

However, this title is a bit false.

Why do you say that?

Because Wenlan Culture has been established for too short a time, with insufficient background and limited operational capabilities. It has been established for nearly three years, and there is only one artist under its banner, Yang Chaoyue.

The entire company is basically supported by Yang Chaoyue alone, accounting for an astonishing 95% of its performance.

In Li Chuan's view, this is a small company that is not popular.

A small company, he is confident to win.

His idea was to directly acquire Wenlan Culture.

Originally, he didn't want to do this, because he was only interested in Yang Chaoyue, and had no interest in the company Wenlan Culture and the artist brokerage business that the company was engaged in.

Therefore, he only wanted to buy Yang Chaoyue's brokerage contract.

However, when he learned about the specific situation of Wenlan's culture from Yang Chaoyue, he changed his mind.

The only valuable asset of the company Wenlan Culture is Yang Chaoyue's brokerage contract.

Without Yang Chaoyue's brokerage contract, this company would be completely useless... In this case, buying Yang Chaoyue's brokerage contract is equivalent to buying Wenlan Culture.

In this way, it is better to have a pot.

Even the pot end, the price may be cheaper.

Li Chuan's plan is to buy Wenlan Culture as a whole, and then downsizing, dismissing some useless personnel, leaving only some elites to form Yang Chaoyue's exclusive team, responsible for all of Yang Chaoyue's brokerage affairs.

He felt that his plan was very feasible.

Because the bosses of small companies are often very short of money, if there is no clear development prospect, they are generally willing to sell the company to realize cash.

You must know that the artist brokerage industry that Wen Lan Culture belongs to does not have a wide range of money, and it is a test of contacts and resources... It is difficult for a small company to become bigger and stronger in this industry; if you want to make a lot of money in this industry, Harder.

After analyzing the above situation, Li Chuan felt that if he was the boss of Wenlan Culture, he would definitely sell the company when Yang Chaoyue was the hottest.

Many people may disagree with this idea.

Today's young people have all been baptized by the wave of Internet entrepreneurship.

Influenced by Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Liu Qiangdong and others, they feel that only when the company goes public can it be considered a successful venture.

This idea is wrong.

It's not that easy to go public.

China is so big, and after so many years of development, there are only more than 3000 listed companies (in 2019)... Just looking at this data, you can know how difficult it is for companies to go public.

If the success of an entrepreneurial venture is simply judged by the standard of "company listing", then 99.99% of entrepreneurs are losers.

This concept is obviously wrong.

Ordinary people start a business with the main purpose of making money.

From this point of view, as long as you can earn enough money, your business is considered a success.

There are many ways to make money, listing is just one of them.

In addition to going public, selling the company is also a very good way.

For example: Are you hungry?

In 2009, college student Zhang Xuhao and several classmates founded Ele.me.

They developed for nine years, and by 2018, they sold themselves to Alibaba and Ant Financial, worth 95 billion US dollars!
Ele.me is not listed, but who dares to say that Zhang Xuhao has not succeeded in starting a business?
From a college student to a business star worth tens of billions, how many classes did Zhang Xuhao cross?
Count carefully, there are not many people in the world who are more successful than him!

Another example: QQ.

As we all know, QQ is the most successful instant messaging software in the PC era.

However, when Ma Huateng and others created it, they did not think of this.

In the early days of QQ, although the number of users was large and the speed of development was fast, they still could not make any money. Every day they operated, they had to spend more money in it.

In the end, they couldn't hold on anymore, so they wanted to sell QQ, but after selling it for a long time, no one bought it.

It wasn't until later that they got an investment that they turned the corner.

It can be seen from this that the ideas of Ma Huateng and others are also very realistic.

At the beginning, they just wanted to make something and make some money. It was only because QQ could not be sold that they came to Tencent later.

Some people may not believe this, thinking that this is a story deliberately fabricated by Ma Huateng.

Li Chuan didn't see it that way.

He thought it was normal.

The normal business thinking is to focus on the reality, and do what is most needed at the moment. You can’t just think about flying before you learn how to walk...Those companies that aspire to become giants from the very beginning often end in a particularly miserable situation. .

This principle is very simple, as long as people with certain social experience can basically understand it.

Shou Weida clearly falls into this category.

He has long had the idea of ​​selling the company, and he has actually carried it out.

About two months ago, he got in touch with a film and television company called "Houhai Culture".

After some negotiations, the two parties have reached a preliminary acquisition intention.

Hearing this news, Li Chuan felt a headache.

He didn't expect that he would meet a competitor.

According to his understanding, like Wenlan Culture, the core asset is only an artist agency company of Yang Chaoyue, which is not of great value in itself, and not many people should want to buy it.

The real situation is similar to what he thought.

There are indeed not many people who want to buy Wenlan Culture, but he underestimated Shou Weida's determination to sell the company.

Shou Weida has been running Wenlan Culture for many years, and has not achieved much. Yang Chaoyue's explosion is purely accidental, and it is a pie in the sky.

He knew that he didn't have the ability to become bigger and stronger in the artist brokerage business, so he desperately wanted to eat the pie into his stomach as soon as possible.

Therefore, whenever an individual or company contacts him to discuss acquisitions with him, he will negotiate with the other party with full sincerity, even if the price is lower.

In this way, although few people took the initiative to come to the door, it also allowed him to find a few suitable targets.

Among them, Houhai Culture is the one with the greatest sincerity, the highest quotation, and the fastest negotiation progress.

Li Chuan didn't know much about this information.

However, this does not affect his judgment.

After accepting the fact that "there is a competitor", he took the initiative to ask the other party's quotation.

Shou Weida said that Houhai Culture offered [-] million yuan.

Li Chuan didn't know if it was true or not, but it was estimated that there was a lot of water in it.

He tentatively bargained with the other party and achieved certain results, but it was relatively limited, only cutting from 8000 million to [-] million.

The number "8000 million" is unacceptable to him.

Although Yang Chaoyue is very popular and has a high success rate in live streaming, 8000 million is still too much.

Yang Chaoyue will not be able to do live streaming until June 2020. The market environment at that time must be different from what it is now.

As time goes by, there will be more and more stars participating in live streaming, and the pressure of competition will also increase.

If Yang Chaoyue can do live streaming now, then Li Chuan has a certain degree of confidence in cultivating him as a head streaming anchor, but by June 2020, he will not have this confidence.

At that time, there is a high probability that he will only be able to train Yang Chaoyue to become a first-line delivery anchor.

Although front-line anchors can earn a lot of money, the payback period is extremely long, and various accidents may occur in the middle. Once something goes wrong, the consequences are unpredictable.

From these aspects, this deal is very uneconomical.

Li Chuan thought about it carefully, and came up with a new idea, that is, instead of buying Wenlan Culture, he only bought Yang Chaoyue's short video brokerage rights and live broadcast brokerage rights, in the same form as Wu Jinyan.

This proposal was beyond Shou Weida's expectation.

He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't make a final decision. He only said that he had to think about it carefully.

Li Chuan had no choice but to agree to this.

"Ah~."

After Li Chuan hung up the phone, he sighed helplessly, with a rather melancholy expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chaoyue asked.

"nothing."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "Your matter is a bit troublesome, more complicated than I imagined..."

Yang Chaoyue pouted and said, "You don't want to give up, do you?"

"Ok?"

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "No."

Yang Chaoyue didn't believe it.

She put her arms around Li Chuan's neck, made a posture of fighting, and said viciously: "I warn you, I am already considered your wife, if you dare to leave me alone, I will definitely let you eat!" I can't walk around!"

"You think too much."

Li Chuan felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly broke free from the restraints and said, "How could I leave you alone, am I that kind of person?"

"This...it's hard to say."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Li Chuan was taken aback again.

Yang Chaoyue looked at Li Chuan and said seriously, "I'm not sure what kind of person you are yet."

"Depend on!"

Li Chuan couldn't help cursing, and said, "You don't believe in pulling it down!"

After speaking, he picked up the phone again.

"What are you doing?!"

Yang Chaoyue grabbed Li Chuan's hand violently.

"what are you doing?"

Li Chuan said impatiently, "I want to make a call."

"What are you calling...for?"

Yang Chaoyue stared at Li Chuan, his eyes flickered slightly, as if they were covered with tears.

"I'll solve the problem for you."

"Solve the problem?" Yang Chaoyue was slightly taken aback.

"correct."

Li Chuan noticed Yang Chaoyue's strangeness, and he was a little confused: "What's wrong? Where do you want to go?"

"I...I thought..."

"Why do you think?"

"I thought...you were really going to leave me alone."

After Yang Chaoyue finished speaking, his eyes were a little red.

"You can really think wildly."

"You... were angry just now."

"What's wrong with being angry?"

"I am a little scared."

"Afraid of what? Afraid that I will leave you alone?"

"Yeah." Yang Chaoyue nodded, feeling aggrieved on his face.

"Am I that narrow-minded?"

Li Chuan's face was dark, and he said: "I'm angry because you don't believe me. This matter is... small, and I don't care about it. You think too much."

Yang Chaoyue pouted, moved his body forward, and threw himself into Li Chuan's arms, saying, "Don't be angry in the future, okay?"

"Why?"

Li Chuan stared, and said, "I'm sure I'll be angry if you provoke me."

"Then I won't mess with you anymore."

"Ha ha."

Li Chuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you so afraid of me getting angry?"

"You're angry, kind of scary."

"Have it?"

"Yes, I was scared just now."

"Oh, then I'll be more careful in the future."

"Ah."

Yang Chaoyue responded, then raised his head and kissed Li Chuan.

Li Chuan also hugged each other cooperatively.

After a verbal battle, Li Chuan took the initiative to push Yang Chaoyue away and said, "I'll make a phone call first."

After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone, found Jiang Zeyu's number, and called it.

Jiang Zeyu has not returned to the company for a week.

This week, he has been working outside.

Previously, he was ordered by Li Chuan to temporarily station in Heqiao Town, Lin'an District, to assist Feng Xu in handling matters related to the Jiuxiang Food Factory.

He stayed in Jiuxiang Food Factory for four days, adjusted the personnel structure of the factory area, registered and applied for the trademark of "Little Greedy Cat", selected the logo pattern, and finally customized a "work promotion plan" ", which has been implemented in the product development of fish tofu.

After dealing with these matters, he rushed to Zixi again.

Going to Zixi, of course, is for "Western Gravity".

At this time, more than ten days have passed since Sanmu Supply Chain acquired "Western Gravity".

The stability maintenance work has long been over, and the current "Western Gravity" has officially changed its name to "Gravity Technology", and has started to develop high-end products of "Gravity".

The overall work is progressing fairly smoothly, but the efficiency of advancement is relatively low, and many problems have been encountered in the middle.

There are some problems that Yang Mingyan can't solve and need to be dealt with by Li Chuan.

Li Chuan didn't have time, so he assigned the task to Jiang Zeyu again.

So, just after Jiang Zeyu finished his work at the Jiuxiang Food Factory, he rushed to Zixi non-stop... Now, he is still there and has not come back.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

Jiang Zeyu: "Hi, I'm in a meeting."

Li Chuan: "Stop for a second, let me tell you something."

Jiang Zeyu: "Wait a minute...Okay, I'm coming out, tell me."

Li Chuan: "I broadcast live yesterday, did you watch it?"

Jiang Zeyu: "I didn't watch it, I was in a meeting last night and I didn't have time to watch it, but I heard that you and Yang Chaoyue did the live broadcast together, right?"

Li Chuan: "Well, she came to my live broadcast room as a guest, and I have to pay her. You can make arrangements and transfer the money."

Jiang Zeyu: "How much?"

Li Chuan: "Is this... one hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixteen?"

Yang Chaoyue was beside him, and quickly made a "six" gesture, shaking vigorously in front of Li Chuan's eyes.

Li Chuan looked at Fan, slapped it off, and then said to the phone: "I remembered, it's one hundred and six."

"160 million!"

"160 million!"

Yang Chaoyue tried his best to make mouth shapes, and his movements and expressions were very exaggerated.

"Tsk."

Li Chuan was irritable and helpless, curled his lips and said, "I know, 160 million."

Jiang Zeyu: "Is there anyone over there?"

Li Chuan was startled: "Uh, that... Wen Tao is here, remind me."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, 160 million, right?"

Li Chuan: "Yes."

Jiang Zeyu: "Who are you calling?"

Li Chuan: "Give her company, ha ha ha ha ha."

Jiang Zeyu: "Do you have an account?"

Li Chuan: "Yes, I will send it to you later."

Jiang Zeyu: "Okay, you can send it now."

Li Chuan: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing."

Jiang Zeyu: "Say it."

Li Chuan: "That's it. Yesterday, I chatted with Yang Chaoyue for a while. She is very interested in live streaming and wants to cooperate with us."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh?! Did you fool her?"

Li Chuan: "Tsk, what is fooling! She was interested in it, so we just chatted casually and reached an agreement."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, this is a good thing. Yang Chaoyue is an idol star with a solid foundation of popularity. Join in and train him well to become a general of the company!"

Li Chuan: "I know this, mainly because I have encountered some problems now."

Jiang Zeyu: "What's the problem?"

Li Chuan: "Yang Chaoyue's contract is a bit complicated, she..."
