Chapter 609: Boss Wei also wants to suffocate for his dream?

Under Boss Jia's hopeful gaze, Wei Yang was silent for a few minutes, and finally shook his head.

LeTV Pictures and LeTV.com do have a certain appeal to Wei Yang's industries, including LeTV TV, and can also help Blue Whale and PPTV enter the terminal market.

But although the meat is fat, it is hot!

Although LeTV and LeTV Pictures are profitable on paper, the complex equity distribution, liabilities and various contracts involved are only known to LeTV itself.

To be frank, Wei Yang didn't dare to believe the accounts of Boss Jia, the super accountant.

This is just an internal problem of LeEco, but don't forget that LeEco is still a listed company. There are countless capital giants who want to take a big bite. Even retail investors are clamoring to short LeEco.

Wei Yang couldn't help but be burdened with a huge debt for no apparent reason, and he was even more afraid of being drawn into the financial whirlpool and dragging the well-developed PPTV and Blue Whale into the abyss.

Mr. Sun of Sunac is the most typical example.

After investing 150 billion yuan, there was not even a splash. In the end, he covered his face and cried in public. He struggled for a year and finally left the market in disgrace.

Wei Yang didn't think he was much smarter than Boss Sun. LeTV was now a big fire pit, and he had already taken over the LeTV film library that he coveted the most.

As for the rest, he didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble!

Boss Jia wanted to persuade him again, but Wei Yang had made up his mind. He said that there was not enough funds, and then he persuaded Boss Jia instead.

"Brother Jia, now that things have come to this, let's just cut off our arms and try to survive."

Wei Yang was not sure how bad LeEco’s current situation was, but judging from Boss Sun’s later review, after Sunac’s funds entered the market, Jia had a hope of making a comeback, or at least not suffer such a crushing defeat and have to go abroad.

But Boss Jia insisted on his own opinion and refused to let go of those sectors that had become a burden, and finally the overall situation collapsed.

Of course, considering Accountant Jia’s style of doing things, it is hard to say whether he is reluctant to cut off his arm or he dares not to cut it off. What if he cuts off his arm and it means he will be completely ruined?

Wei Yang has limited information and dares not make a rash judgment.

But whether Boss Jia is stubborn and insists on his own way, or he is a potential bomb and is in a dilemma, it shows that LeTV is not suitable for investment.

Faced with Boss Wei's sincere suggestion, Boss Jia just smiled without comment.

Wei Yang and later Sunac boss Sun were not the first to advise him. Not to mention business tycoons and professionals, even some half-baked people on Zhihu could see that LeTV failed because it spread itself too wide and it was time to unload the burden and start anew.

But Boss Jia just won’t listen or can’t listen, and this may be an irreversible “dead end”.

The "welcoming banquet" ended in a bad mood, but Lao Jia was still very graceful and personally escorted Wei Yang to the restaurant entrance.

"Be careful on the road."

"Brother Jia, take care."

Wei Yang shook hands with Lao Jia and said goodbye, then turned and headed for his car. Before getting in, the bodyguard came over and reported quietly.

"Boss, there are paparazzi nearby, do you want to deal with them?"

Wei Yang subconsciously looked back at Boss Jia who was still standing at the restaurant door watching him go. He pondered for two seconds, said nothing, waved to Old Jia, got in the car and left.

...

After returning home, he made video calls to several women. Just as he was about to go to bed, someone told Wei Yang that he was on the trending search.

It was faster than he expected. It seemed like it was really urgent!

Wei Yang opened his Weibo and saw that, indeed, he was photographed by paparazzi while meeting Boss Jia today, including the two of them entering the restaurant together, shaking hands and saying goodbye, with all the photos and videos available.

What’s interesting is that the news was clearly leaked by an entertainment reporter, but it made the financial headlines.

Most fans in the entertainment industry had little interest in Wei Yang's night meeting with an old man, but the financial sector was in an uproar.

Wei Yang flipped through it roughly, and there were rumors flying everywhere, and some big Vs even swore that -

After getting accurate information, Boss Jia convinced Wei Yang that the latter was about to make a move, and even had the specific amount of funds, in both decimal and round numbers, a full 85 billion RMB.

In a word, LeTV is getting better!

The phone call that Fat Fan had just hung up came back: "You want to invest in LeTV?"

"fake."

Wei Yang briefly explained what had just happened, and Fatty Fan couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Jia, you really have some tricks."

"It's just a lie. You can hide it for a while, but not forever. It can fool people in the short term, but after a while, when you don't see the money, everyone will understand."

Fatty Fan came to his senses and said, "You won't expose him?"

"It's a normal business practice. I don't have much to lose. I'll help him once and consider it as my repayment for the conspiracy against his film library."

"What's his love?"

However, Fan Xiaopang disagreed with Wei Yang's approach and talked about the dispute between Wei Yang and LeTV in rapid succession.

"Back then, you and LeEco were mutually beneficial. They provided the money and you sold the dramas. Everyone said that LeEco helped you get started. But without you, could LeEco have risen so quickly?"

"Not to mention the film library mortgage, real money was spent, and the gambling agreement was signed willingly. If we talk about scheming, it's hard to say who schemed against whom."

"Since the development of Blue Whale and PPTV, LeEco has been getting further and further away from you. Who knows if there is someone named Jia who is doing bad things with all the open and covert attacks you have experienced over the years?"

"You treat him as a brother, but he may not treat you as his own. If it were you, I would just expose his past and see what he would do."

"..."

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Everyone said that he was narrow-minded, and Fan Xiaopang was even more vindictive. When he had the upper hand, he would not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

This ruthlessness is crucial to getting things done, but if one does things without leaving any room for others, he may easily cut off his own path.

No matter what, Lao Jia has a good personal relationship with Wei Yang and they can be considered friends. Although this was not a fair thing to do, there were reasons for it.

LeTV is in a precarious situation right now, and we need to look at many things from a more tolerant perspective and put ourselves in their shoes. If Blue Whale was about to go bankrupt, Wei Yang might have gone even further than he did.

When dealing with people, you don’t have to help others when they are in trouble, but you also don’t have to make things worse.

When LeTV goes bankrupt in the future and this matter gets out, people will say that Wei Yang is kind and is helping Jia Yueting. But if he takes advantage of the situation to kick him when he is down, how will people view Boss Wei in the future? Will anyone in the business world still be willing to be friends with him?

"So, it's not without reason that you have few friends. You need to have a broader vision and be more open-minded."

Fan Xiaopang was a little angry and said, "Okay, you have many friends, you have a broad mind, you are so capable, why are you running away? Where is the child you promised me?"

You see, women are like this. When they can’t be convinced by reason, they start to make unreasonable demands and make personal attacks.

"I have a job, and it's not my due date yet. I might be pregnant now."

Boss Wei has been working very hard during this period and his body is weak.

Liu Shishi can get pregnant, so there is no reason why Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang can't get pregnant. Now we just have to wait and see if we get pregnant. "Okay, I'll wait. If I don't get pregnant, I'll keep you from getting out of bed when we return to Shanghai."

Fat Fan hung up the phone. Boss Wei felt timid and stroked his stubble, thinking deeply.

This woman has such a bad temper, could it be that she is pregnant and has caused changes in hormone secretion...

The next day, after Wei Yang got up, the news of his meeting with Boss Jia spread more and more widely, and even LeTV's stock price rose.

Zhihu and some financial bloggers have analyzed the series of changes caused by this dinner.

The news of Wei Yang's investment in LeTV spread across the entire Internet so quickly and was recognized by many people. This was certainly due to the support of Boss Jia, but there were other reasons as well.

That was the gambling contract for mortgaging the film library signed by PPTV and LeTV. Because it was a listed company, it received a sum of money. This matter was not concealed, and many people who were interested knew about it.

At that time, there were many rumors that Wei Yang was likely to invest in LeTV, and there was even a saying that PPTV and LeTV would merge.

With this incident as a prelude, and the fact that Wei Yang's industries do overlap and complement some of LeTV's industries, his investment in LeTV is indeed in line with business logic.

Not only did netizens believe it, but even some bigwigs in the industry believed it. Some familiar friends even approached Wei Yang to inquire about it, and some even wanted to follow him in investing.

To be honest, even Boss Wei himself underestimates his influence in the business world.

As a leader of the young generation who started from scratch, most of the projects he invested in have achieved remarkable results. His vision is recognized by many people and even highly praised.

In addition, although LeTV is in considerable trouble, Jia Yueting is still in charge and the lid is still being kept on, so its real problems have not been exposed.

Considering LeTV's size and past achievements, quite a number of people believe that LeTV can turn the crisis into safety.

Not to mention now, Jia had gone abroad in his previous life, and many people were hoping that he would come back to save LeTV. He has been making cars in the United States for several years, but is still at the PPT stage. There are also a group of people who think that Faraday will become the next BYD.

Now with the addition of Wei Yang, an even more legendary business figure, LeTV could be suffocated by its dream again at any moment.

It turns out that this tiger skin of mine is so useful, no wonder Lao Jia did this.

Boss Wei did not publicly expose Jia's tricks, but when asked by friends, he also said that he has not invested money in LeTV at present, and that last night was a purely private gathering and the rumors were wrong.

It's okay to give a helping hand, but that doesn't mean Boss Wei has to be a nanny for Lao Jia and lie to cover up for him.

Smart people will understand what is going on after listening to Wei Yang's words. As for those who don't believe it, Wei Yang can do nothing about it because he is just telling the truth.

From the beginning to the end, these news were all speculation and inference from the outside world. He never admitted to investing money in LeTV. If anyone was fooled, no one could trace him back.

...

After finishing his breakfast leisurely, Wei Yang received three or four more calls on the way. Someone had already revealed Wei Yang's response on the Internet, but the response was mediocre.

People want to hear what they want to hear!

Now the outside world is imagining how Wei Yang and Boss Jia will cooperate, how LeTV will survive, turn the tide, and become a big shot in the future. Countless big Vs, experts and "wise people" have made clear analyses, and if you pour cold water on them at this time, it would be true or false.

Amid the turmoil outside, the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" came to a cinema in Beijing to participate in a preview event.

Normally, when Wei Yang does pre-promotion, he likes to visit various universities, but many schools are already on winter vacation now, so he can only do social activities.

Many reporters came to the cinema event. What was ridiculous was that at a movie promotion event, there were more reporters in the financial section than in the entertainment section.

This made the entertainment reporter who hadn't read the relevant news look confused.

"Isn't it said that the economic situation is very good? There should be no shortage of materials. Why are you rushing to our place to grab the news?"

Since it was the first promotion, the crew was not divided into batches, and relatively all the main creators came.

Except for Da Mimi and Li Jiahang who have to rush over tomorrow due to some temporary matters, all others have arrived. After they appeared, they received warm cheers from the audience and fans.

There is not much to say about the specific process of the event, I can only say that the atmosphere was excellent.

After all, the main creators of "Detective Chinatown 2" are very popular, and the previous work once refreshed the film IP of the film and television industry, and the quality is also impressive.
What's more crucial is that those who attend these preview events are either fans, die-hard fans, or paid film critics, and half of them are shills. If the scene is not hot, the person in charge of publicity and promotion will have to find the next buyer after the Spring Festival.

When the audience and reporters were asking questions, financial reporters were more active than entertainment reporters.

But at Wei Yang's signal, the host restrained the group of financial reporters by telling them not to ask questions unrelated to the movie.

The event was finally over and the creators were preparing to leave. The financial reporters who had been watching eagerly finally found an opportunity to rush up and surround Wei Yang and the others to ask questions.

"Mr. Wei, there are rumors online that you are about to invest heavily in LeEco. Can you tell me what you think?"

"Mr. Wei, is it true that PPTV and LeTV are merging?"

"Mr. Wei, can you tell us about your share of LeEco, what position you will hold in the future, and whether Mr. Jia's current power will change?"

"..."

Many entertainment reporters who were planning to ask some gossip questions were pushed aside. They were so angry that they jumped up and down when they saw the financial reporters asking questions at the same time.

It's New Year's Day and you're destroying someone's job. That's too much!
But they soon became happy again. Facing the questions from the financial reporter, the bodyguards and staff protecting Wei Yang had only one reply.

"I'm sorry, today's event is over and I won't be accepting interviews for now."

"Well done!"

If Wei Yang said this to the entertainment reporters, he would inevitably be accused of being a big shot, but now, he feels relaxed all over.

The financial reporters were helpless as the questions they asked could also be used to identify Wei Yang's identity.

At this time, Wei Yang is no longer just a star, but a business tycoon.

Celebrities and the media are closely related and complement each other. If they don't answer questions, they can at least make a few complaints.

There are many business tycoons who ignore reporters, especially when it comes to important business operations. Confidentiality is the first element and they will not disclose information easily unless there is another purpose.

As for what the reporters think, the bigwigs don’t rely on financial reporters for their livelihood, so they don’t care what these people think.

Under escort, Wei Yang and others got rid of the reporters and got into the car. With the door closed, Boss Wei, sitting in the airline chair, was full of emotion.

Having done this, he can be said to have done his best for Boss Jia.

At this moment, the cell phone vibrated, Wei Yang took it out and saw that even Lao Jia had sent him a text message with only two simple words "Thank you". It seemed that the latter was also afraid that Boss Wei would reveal his past and had been paying attention to him.

Wei Yang smiled, didn't reply, and put the phone directly into his pocket.

I don’t know when we will meet again...

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he suddenly noticed a small hand moving around his leg. Boss Wei turned around and saw that it was Naza who was looking at him with her big eyes blinking. The latter came closer and whispered in his ear, speaking in a charming and seductive voice.

"Brother, I don't think I've ever been to your home in the capital?"

Boss Wei felt a numbness in his waist. It was bad. He was going to be in trouble...
