Chapter 706 Don’t ask, the only thing you need to ask is business sense
Wei Yang didn't know how Da Mimi was planning to get back at her, but she did not complain to Liu Shishi. Tang Yan didn't know either, probably because she was afraid of being embarrassed.

Wei Yang was also relieved, as he didn't have to be nagged by the two beauties of Fairy Sword after comforting Da Mimi.

"Knowing Your Destiny" joined the production after the Spring Festival, and "Chi Le Chuan" will be broadcast during the summer vacation, so Wei Yang does not have to worry about specific projects for the time being and can mainly participate in the company's work.

In addition, after entering 2019, Wei Yang also began to arrange his companies and teams to handle some real estate and physical investments.

In fact, Wei Yang had already started planning since 2018 or even earlier.

After three years of wearing masks, the economy has been in decline, and both real estate and entities have been greatly affected. Wei Yang naturally has to prepare in advance to stop the losses.

However, in order to get out of this situation more reasonably and avoid unnecessary trouble, Wei Yang also found a lot of excuses and pretexts.

For example, some people are not optimistic about the development of the housing market and feel that there is a downward trend, so they choose to cash out at a high point in the market. This view is actually not new. In recent years, many knowledgeable people have felt that the housing market is almost at its end. There are many people who are waiting and watching, but there are also some courageous people who take the lead.

Or it could explain that Wei Yang is optimistic about a new trend and is preparing to concentrate funds, etc.

Once he gets the money out, the trend disappears or after research he finds that the results are different from his expectations, he stops investing. This is a very normal thing in the investment industry.

Then again, given Boss Wei's reputation, it would make sense even without any explanation.

Don’t ask, the answer is that I have a natural sense of business!

Don't question or be dissatisfied. If you have the ability, you can become the richest man in China at the age of 30. If you can't, don't complain. Don't use your ordinary person's cognition to challenge a genius.

Fiction requires logic, but reality does not.

So in fact, Wei Yang didn't need to be so cautious, but he always believed that it's better to be cautious, and it's always good to have more preparations and retreat plans.

Since becoming famous and making money, Wei Yang has never relaxed his investment in real estate.

Over time, the number and total value of the properties he controlled had reached a terrifying level.

If everything goes smoothly, a large amount of funds can be collected in minutes, and it may even partially affect the high-end real estate market. After all, the transaction volume in the high-end market is small, and there are few potential customers. The appearance of a large number of high-end properties in the market will definitely cause fluctuations.

Fortunately, high-end properties are already overpriced, and Wei Yang's investments are mostly in high-quality properties, so he won't lose money and won't have trouble selling them.

Wei Yang did not sell all the real estate he had, and still kept a batch of the best ones.

The housing market will certainly decline in the future, but top properties in first-tier cities will still be a scarce commodity in the market and have a good value retention rate.

In addition, Boss Wei has many wives and children, and good houses are hard to come by. If he keeps a few more, maybe they can be used as wedding houses for his children in the future...

Real estate is actually easy to handle. There are only two options: keep it or sell it. Physical investment is actually much more complicated, and Wei Yang is mainly busy with this.

Some industries are extremely popular now and are making a lot of money, but they will suffer a devastating blow in the next three years.

Some investments are lukewarm now, and have been tossed around in excitement for three years, but after three years, they will usher in a big explosion.

Some industries are not profitable, but you can get many other benefits in those three years, but they also have certain risks.

Wei Yang really didn't know until he tried it. He was shocked when he did.

There are so many different investments, covering so many directions and industries, and their future developments are also different. How to properly handle them has consumed a lot of his brain cells.

Later he discovered that not only physical investments, but also some financial, online, overseas and other investments had many problems, some of which also required him to make decisions on trade-offs.

After deciding to comprehensively sort out his businesses, Boss Wei even started to work overtime for the first time in a long time.

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi initially thought that he was making an excuse to go out and fool around or have fun, but later they found out it was true. Boss Wei even took a pile of documents home to look through them and then held a video meeting.

This situation used to be quite common, but in the past two years, Wei Yang has filmed less and spent more time in the company, so he rarely brings work home. When he gets home, he goes out for entertainment or taking care of the children.

COFCO Seaview One
"No, no, Daddy, Daddy, play, play..."

Liu Shishi carried her son, who was screaming and threatening, out of the study and asked her mother and the confinement nanny to take him out for a walk. Then she poured a glass of water for Boss Wei, who had a headache and closed his eyes, and walked behind him to give him a head massage.

"Do you want to send Shanshan to a nursery? He's too noisy. Even my dad is annoyed with him."

"Too young, he should be at least 3 years old to go to school, it's not like there's no one to look after him at home, and besides, he's just a little bit energetic, your dad complains about it, so why not let him look after the child?"

"You're just going to spoil him, right?"

Liu Shishi hummed softly, and her hands became more and more gentle. Just as Boss Wei was enjoying it, she suddenly blurted out something.

"Aren't those two kids much more obedient than Shanshan?"

Boss Wei's eyelids twitched violently. This question was asked with evil intentions.

Even though Liu Shishi says she dislikes Young Master Wei in various ways, she is still his biological mother. Wei Yang can complain about her son, but if he uses other sons to put him down, he will be the next one to be kicked out.

"Neither of them is easy to deal with. One is lazy and greedy, and would rather lie down than sit. The other is a taciturn person who can't even say a word. He is picky about food and has a bad temper. Shanshan is more obedient than them in every way except that he talks more."

This really can’t be considered as Boss Wei fooling people!
What Wei Yang said were the real problems of the second and third brothers. The eldest brother was indeed the most obedient among the three brothers.

It’s just that Wei Yang weakened the annoyingness of the eldest brother, ignored the respective advantages of the second and third brothers, and played a word trick to make Liu Shishi feel more comfortable listening to it.

Sure enough, although Liu Shishi said that Wei Yang was bluffing, her hands were more gentle and diligent.

Given the current reality, it is difficult for Liu Shishi and her family not to worry that their children will be disliked by their father, treated coldly or even hated, so some temptations are inevitable in daily life, especially when the children are naughty and causing trouble.

Wei Yang also understands their "sensitivity" and is very cooperative and emotionally supportive when encountering them.

And he really wasn't angry. It was normal for the ignorant little brat to be a little naughty. He was his own son, so he should be more tolerant of him.

If this kid hadn't insisted on fiddling with his computer and pressing the keyboard randomly, Wei Yang wouldn't have asked his mother to punish him.

After chatting for a while, Wei Yang didn't dawdle and opened his eyes to continue working.

Liu Shishi didn't leave either. Unless Wei Yang was writing a script or attending a meeting, he would not carry anyone around when doing other work. Otherwise, Young Master Wei would not have been able to get in just now.

Picking up a document and flipping through it, she looked at the contents with some surprise.

"You actually own shares in Xiaoguo?"

Wei Yang raised his head from the computer, flipped through the documents and glanced at them: "It's not Xiaoguo's shares. Strictly speaking, Feicuixia and Xiaoguo have jointly opened a company, using their names. They provide the people and content, and Feicuixia provides the money and contact channels. PPTV has two talk show variety shows, and one of them is promoted by this company." Although Liu Shishi is not an executive, he is not a newbie and understands the basics.

"It sounds like you're trying to get something for nothing, doesn't it?"

"Not really. It's a normal cooperation. Each of us is responsible for different things and the profit distribution is also different. Don't worry about it. This company will be dealt with later."

In Wei Yang's comprehensive review this time, the jade shrimp is an important target.

Up to now, the film and television investment company that once brought many benefits to Wei Yang has become very useless and is not valued by Boss Wei. It has rarely been involved in the company's specific business in recent years.

Although it has lost the guidance of Boss Wei, Jade Shrimp is still thriving in the current hot entertainment market thanks to the foundation accumulated in its early years, the support of a large number of coal bosses and Shanghai capital, and the channels and resources backed by the Blue Whale system.

Jade Shrimp, which originally had the characteristics of an investment company, has been spending money crazily in the entertainment field under this background.

Including but not limited to film and television, variety shows, animation, games, short videos, live broadcasts, media, reading, music, etc., not only investing in projects, but also investing in companies and specific people.

As a unicorn in the talk show field, Xiaoguo has achieved remarkable results both online and offline, and Feicuixia will naturally not let it go.

In fact, from a normal logical point of view, although the investment in Jade Shrimp is a bit rough, it cannot be considered wrong.

Because most investment companies do this. Except for some key projects, they cast a wide net. As long as they can catch one, they can make back all other losing investments. If they can catch two, they will make a fortune.

Moreover, even Wei Yang had to admit one thing.

Regardless of its purpose, Jade Shrimp has objectively saved a number of capable small studios and high-quality projects that are short of money, which can be regarded as a great deed.

This is also the reason why Wei Yang turned a blind eye to Emerald Shrimp's money-spending strategy before.

Promoting the mid- and downstream industries of the entertainment industry is generally profitable, so there is no reason for him to stop it.

But things are different now. After three years of wearing masks, the cold wind of the film and television winter has not only affected the film and television industry, but the entire entertainment industry has been greatly affected. If the Emerald Shrimp continues to cast its net like this, it will probably be dragged off the boat and drowned.

Therefore, Jade Shrimp must carry out a wave of "letting go" and concentrate its financial resources on high-quality projects to ensure that it has enough resources to survive the cold winter.

Liu Shishi roughly knew what Wei Yang was doing, but she didn't quite understand why the company that Feicui Xia and Xiaoguo cooperated with would also be regarded as a non-quality investment.

The variety shows of Xiaoguo are quite popular, and can even be said to be the variety show face of iQiyi and Penguin.

Even she knows quite a few talk show artists, and many people in the industry say this is a new trend.

"I didn't say that Xiaoguo is not popular. PPTV also cooperates with them. It's just that as far as this company is concerned, it has no future and is useless."

Wei Yang took the document and pointed to the place: "The investment cost is high, but the rate of return is low. This is not a failed investment, but it is hard to say it is a success."

Moreover, Wei Yang felt that Xiaoguo was not a very good partner.

"If we really want to cater to the talk show trend, the cost-effectiveness of cooperating with Xiaoguo is actually low. It is more in our interest to support a new talk show giant that is completely on our side."

Xiaoguo is very powerful in the field of talk shows and has gathered a large number of well-known talk show hosts, but it is too exaggerated to say that it has completely monopolized the industry.

iQiyi and Penguin can bring out Laugh Fruit, and PPTV can also bring out another talk show brand.

Even if it cannot be compared with Xiaoguo for the time being, it is still no problem to get a piece of the pie.

The comedy effect was a disaster in the previous life, and many people said that talk shows are over.

But the facts have proved that Xiaoguo cannot represent talk shows. Even without Xiaoguo, there are still a large number of excellent talk show brands such as Danliren, and a large number of unknown excellent offline talk show actors who are ready to step forward and grab the stage at any time.

Even "Talk Show Conference" strictly speaking is not supported by the actors of Xiaoguo, but a wide range of heroes are invited. It's just that most of these heroes joined Xiaoguo later.

Compared to Xiaoguo, Wei Yang actually values ​​Ma Dong of Miwei more, as he is a true expert in variety shows.

The content output of Xiaoguo is single, mainly talk shows, and at most some related variety shows are extended around it. However, what Ma Dong does is more diversified, has more outstanding prospects, has stronger ability to make money, and is more helpful to the platform.

Wei Yang had wanted to bring Ma Dong back a long time ago, but he was already deeply tied to iQiyi and had previously served as iQiyi's Chief Content Officer.

After PPTV's rise, it also had some collaborations with Ma Dong.

However, he is more familiar with iQiyi, and his main development focus is also in Beijing. Moreover, after becoming famous, he has no shortage of platform cooperation. Penguin and Youku are also willing to find him, so he is not very interested in joining PPTV.

Although PPTV is eager to recruit talented people, it also has many excellent teams itself, so they will not force Ma Dong even if he is unwilling to come.

Even the reason why Ma Dong couldn't come was also because Blue Whale and PPTV are giants in the variety show industry, and he didn't have any particularly big advantages, but he was a popular star in iQiyi.

I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!
The reason why Wei Yang often failed to win over talented people was because of this.

The Blue Whale platform is big and good enough, but it is also very competitive. Unless many mature talents and teams are particularly ambitious and want to make a big splash with the help of the top platform, they tend to pay more attention to their other platforms.

It's not just Ma Dong, the same is true for Xiaoguo. Wei Yang can support a new Xiaoguo, but it is difficult to directly bring Xiaoguo over at this stage.

Because the resources and money that iQiyi gives them are what PPTV cannot give.

It’s not that PPTV can’t afford it, but it has to consider the harmony of the internal team.

Your own employees earn 3 yuan a month, and you spend 3.5 yuan to hire a newcomer whose performance and ability may not be as good as your own employees and who has no achievements at all. It would be strange if your employees would not have any objections.

iQiyi needed this employee, but its other qualifications were not good enough, so it could only spend money. PPTV offered 3.5 yuan, and they offered 5 yuan.

Perhaps influenced by its boss Wei Yang, PPTV has always had little interest in variety shows such as talk shows.

Anyway, there are more than one new trend in the entertainment industry, and there are plenty of new variety shows that can attract users.

You do talk shows, and I do script killing, rap, street dance, music festivals, entertainment sports, improvisational comedy, skits, etc.

Capital is the most sensitive to the market, and it is not just Jade Shrimp that is involved in entertainment investment.

Both Blue Whale and PPTV have related plans, but they are low-key and more targeted.

All the new entertainment that is being hyped nowadays are full of the shadows of major Internet platforms. As long as one of them goes viral, there will be a steady stream of capital operations to expand the industry and reap the benefits.

Therefore, PPTV actually doesn’t need to focus on talk shows and support other brands to compete with Xiaoguo. Planning new trends will bring greater returns…
