China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 538 536. The prelude to the Thousand Regiments War, Mr. Ma’s efforts to drain the fire (two-in-one)

Jingdong is China's number one online shopping platform, and although it is now quite large, Liu Qiangdong was still a little surprised to hear that the two of them had settled the matter of 500 million US dollars so easily.

No matter how promising a group buying website is, only 25% of the shares are worth US$ million, which he feels is a bit exaggerated.

How did he know that in the past ten days, Meituan's payment through WeChat has exceeded 2 billion, not counting bank card payments and offline payments?

As the boss of Goose Factory, the savvy Lu Huateng is not only optimistic about Meituan’s prospects, but also the added value it brings to WeChat.

For the value of these two parts alone, US$500 million is indeed a conscientious price given by Brother Cao.

"My man is so awesome"

Although Li Fuzhen came from Samsung, he admired himself even more as a man after watching Cao Yu talk and laugh happily.

I feel that if he were a Korean, he would definitely be able to become a chaebol that is not inferior to other chaebols.

After drinking for a while, Cao Yu said with a smile: "Brother Dong, if you are free, find a manufacturer that makes Kongming lanterns in the next two days and list it on Jingdong's website during Valentine's Day."

"Brother, you can do it. Have you taken care of the eldest princess of Samsung?"

In fact, Cao Yu's cash flow was not very abundant during this period.

"Kongming lantern? How many people buy that thing? How much money can you make?"

Xu Xin also knew the strength of Boss Cao. If he said too little, the other party would definitely not be interested. He asked tentatively: "How many shares can I get with 200 million US dollars?"

Cao Yu pretended to sigh and said in a reluctant tone: "Since Mr. Xu has said so, fine, I will give you 10% of the shares for US$ million."

Hearing Boss Cao's refusal, Xu Xin said anxiously: "Boss Cao, a good project can only develop faster if everyone works together. Besides, you have so many opponents now, so you must invest a lot of money. In this way, I will add another one." 100 million."

"You are not Liu Dehua..."

Cao Yu quickly reminded: "Don't spread this matter to me, otherwise it will have a great impact."

Xu Xin only got 10% for 25 million, while Lao Lu got % for million. The treatment is really different.

Cao Yu said mysteriously: "Secretly, do as I say, and I promise you won't regret it."

Xu Xin has made a fortune in the past two years through shares in Jingdong and Fei'e Video. She is also very optimistic about Meituan, which Feiyu has just launched.

Just shares
He thought for a while and said: "I have just raised US$500 million in funds, so I don't need it for the time being."

"Haha, everything is easy to discuss between us brothers. However, this year's dividends should be transferred to me as soon as possible. I am short of money now."

"Mr. Cao, I saw your Meituan. It's very good. However, many similar platforms have appeared in the past few days. You will probably burn money next. Do you need to invest?"

In addition, Fei'e Video has not yet been listed on the market, and the money has been almost spent. He has not sought a loan from a bank, so he will take the money now if someone gives him money.

Lu Huateng felt relieved and patted Cao Yu's shoulder happily.

Nowadays, Taobao's low-price strategy is indeed a bit ruthless, and it has taken away a lot of traffic from Jingdong. If the sky lantern suggested by Cao Yu is really effective, it may really have an impact on Taobao.

"Twenty million?"

"Xu Xin?"

Cao Yu answered the phone: "Mr. Xu, why did you remember to call me?"

Besides, who usually buys that thing for what?
Cao Yu smiled emphatically: "Believe me, that's right..."

Just as he was talking, Cao Yu's phone rang again.

Liu Qiangdong secretly murmured something in his heart, and at the same time felt that Boss Cao was pretty good to his brothers.

"Mr. Xu, hey."

Anyway, if she doesn't invest in herself, she might invest in someone else.

With Liu Edong's current net worth, he is no longer interested in Kongming lanterns that cost just a few dollars each.

When Cao Yu heard that the other party wanted to give money, he did not refuse directly, but asked with a smile: "How much do you want to invest?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Hearing the popularity and traffic, Liu Qiangdong became interested: "Are you going to do something related to the Kongming Lantern?"

"Shh it's a secret"

"Dark! So dark!"

It cost a lot of money to buy Marvel and invest in Tesla. The fab project that is about to be cooperated with Samsung will cost more than 2 billion US dollars. These sums of money are not small figures.

Lu Huateng also stood up and walked into the bathroom with his arm around his shoulders like his best friend when he was a student.

"Brothers!"

"Haha, Liu Dehua is actually not much more handsome than me."

Liu Qiangdong took out his cell phone and wrote down the incident in a memo.

During the phone call, Xu Xin didn't expect that only 10 million U.S. dollars would be needed to get % of Meituan's shares. It was indeed a bit small, but when she thought about Meituan's broad prospects and Boss Cao's development in recent years, she still nodded and said: " No problem, I’ll come to Yanjing tomorrow with the money!”

Cao Yu made a half-serious joke, stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

"I'll go as well."

Hearing that Xu Xin also wanted to invest in Meituan, Lu Huateng and Liu Qiangdong were also startled. There were so many people rushing to send money.

Cao Yu laughed and said: "It's true that you can't make much money, probably only tens of millions, but it can help Jingdong attract a lot of traffic and popularity."

"I understand, but brother, your life is really enviable... enviable..."

As Lu Huateng was talking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Cao Yu's capital and said in shock: "Holy crap! Brother, Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian, you have taken possession of them all."

Cao Yu said modestly: "Deng is still a little behind. People make money."

Lu Huateng: "You are stealing money."

"You are the one who is robbing money. Now Penguin's games are not robbing money?"

"Haha, I'll grab it and everyone will share it."

The two came back joking, and they chatted about games for a while, and then left after eating and drinking.

Originally, Lu Huateng wanted to go crazy again, but unfortunately Brother Cao had a beautiful woman to accompany him, so he had to give up.

When he got home, Li Fuzhen asked: "Yu, if you don't let me drink, do you want to be with me..."

Cao Yu hugged her: "Yes, I want you to have a child."

"Child? I haven't been with that man for several years. If I get pregnant... no, I really can't."

Although Li Fuzhen also had the idea of ​​giving birth to a child for Cao Yu, he just thought about it and did not dare to implement it. First of all, his father Li Jianxi could not pass the test.
"Why not? Just find an excuse."

Cao Yu has stayed in Hanbang for a long time and really wants to cultivate a chaebol son.

"What excuse?"

"If you're pregnant, you can say this."

Cao Yu whispered in Li Fuzhen's ear. The latter was stunned for a while and asked, "Is it really okay?"

"it should be OK."

"OK then."

"Come on, give birth now. I like the process of giving birth the most. You must give birth to a boy."

Cao Yu said, preparing to implement the chaebol manufacturing plan.

Li Fuzhen was also a little excited and said coquettishly: "How do you know it must be your son?"

"If it's not a son, let's continue to have children."

In the next few days, Li Fuzhen was busy calculating projects with his subordinates at Samsung.

After Cao Yuze and Xu Xin finalized the shareholding agreement, they were busy with the listing of Fei'e Video while paying attention to the work of the entertainment company.

Now Juhuasuan, with Ali's strong capital, has not only captured the markets of several big cities such as Hangzhou and Shanghai, Wang Xing's Youtuan has also occupied many third- and fourth-tier cities. In addition, they have launched more favorable events than Meituan. , constantly compressing Meituan’s market space.

Although Meituan faces huge challenges, Boss Cao has made no moves and remains firmly on top.

There is food in hand and no panic in mind.

The more than 10,000 merchants at the beginning all signed separate cooperation agreements and could not cooperate with anyone else except Meituan. Moreover, each local promoter of Meituan would be responsible for several merchants, providing them with business guidance and assisting them. How to better serve customers also makes them not want to change cooperation platforms easily.

Moreover, Meituan selects high-quality merchants and relies on customer reputation and good services.

Hangzhou, Ahli.

Ma Yun sat in the office, puzzled.

"Why is Thief Cao sitting so firmly? Now that Souhu, Xinlang and others are starting to die, why doesn't he take any action? Is there something brewing?"

The more Cao Yu didn't move, the more worried Ma Yun became.

After all, he had suffered losses from Cao Yu more than once or twice.

Now that several giants have joined the group buying website, there are already signs of spending money. Is it possible that Boss Cao is short of money?
"It shouldn't be. Even if he invested too much some time ago and his cash flow is tight, he has Penguin, Jingdong, Huanyu Real Estate, and Huawei in his circle. How can he be short of money?"

The more Ma Yun thought about it, the less she understood.

After thinking for a long time, he seemed to understand something: "Does he plan to rely on his contracted merchants to stabilize the existing market and customers? Then sit back and watch the tigers fight? Finally, reap the profits?"

Thinking of this, he immediately called the person in charge of Juhuasuan.

"Dig, dig for me! In the cities where we have opened up the market, whether it is Meituan's local promoters or their contracted merchants, dig them all for me, no matter the cost!"

Ma Yun feels that only by removing the firepower can Boss Cao take action.

With this plan, not only Juhuasuan, but also Lashou.com are optimistic about the talents trained by Meituan and those high-quality merchants.

Xiaofei Niu Hotpot is a national chain of hotpot restaurants with more than 700 chain stores. It is also the first catering brand in China to be listed in Xiangjiang.

Since joining Meituan’s activities, during this period, all his stores in first- and second-tier cities have been full every day. Xiao Liu is an ordinary local promoter of Meituan. Today he was doing door-to-door service at Xiaofei Niu Yanjing store. Looking at the prosperous store lobby, he smiled at Boss Zhang beside him and said: "Mr. Zhang, the business is so good, I will give it to everyone at the end of the year." Give me more bonuses.”

"I will definitely distribute it, but business is so good and there are so many people queuing up. I feel that the store can be expanded."

The boss named Zhang Gang looked at the customers waiting in line outside, but he was thinking about whether to pay bonuses or continue to expand.

Xiao Liu suddenly remembered a suggestion made by his boss in a previous training to help the store improve service, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, we can actually provide some free snacks, games, or manicures at the door. This will not only It can improve our service and make people waiting in line less bored.”

"this."

When Zhang Gang heard this suggestion, he thought it was a good idea at first. But if this was done in more than 700 stores across the country, how much would it cost?
"I will think about it."

He didn't agree immediately. In fact, he was too embarrassed to refuse directly.

"hehe."

Xiao Liu didn't say anything else, but he thought the boss's suggestion was really brilliant. Unfortunately, the boss in front of him didn't understand it at all.

After walking around in a circle, he planned to leave and go to another merchant he was responsible for to see the situation.

As soon as I went out and got on the electric car, an unknown person came over and said with a smile: "Hello, you are the promotion specialist of Meituan, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Liu nodded, glanced proudly at the Meituan brand on his chest, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The visitor smiled and asked: "That's right, I am Juhuasuan, the project manager in charge of the Yanjing area. I see that you have been busy today. Is your boss treating you well?"

"It's okay. I have something else to do. Let's talk again when we have the chance."

Hearing that it was his competitor Juhuasuan, Xiao Liu turned on the key to the electric car and left.

"Don't worry."

The visitor quickly stopped him and stopped trying to get too close. He said directly: "That's it. We have just settled in Yanjing and want to recruit a group of experienced people. How about we join together and double the salary?"

"Not interested in."

Xiao Liu has long heard that Juhuasuan, owned by Ali, is famous for its 996. Is that how people live?
Now I go to work at 8:30 during the day and get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon. If I really work overtime, I will get double overtime pay. Why should I suffer that?
"I have been observing just now. You are very capable. You can get three times or three times the salary."

"Excuse me."

Xiao Liu put on his helmet, ignored the man and walked away.

"Fuck! If you are not tempted, I don't believe that others are not tempted either!"

Juhuasuan, the regional manager, had a bad start, but he was not discouraged. He turned to look at Little Fatty Niu and said with a smile: "Bringing this store over can be considered an achievement."

Immediately opened the door and walked in...

After Xiao Liu finished a day's work, he returned to the shared apartment and found his roommate Xiao Zhang packing his things. He hurriedly asked: "Are you going to move?"

Xiao Zhang said sheepishly: "No, today Lashou.com came to see me and offered me a threefold increase in salary based on my current salary. I plan to go to Lashou.com."

"Go to LaShou.com?"

Xiao Liu was startled, and then advised: "You have to think about it, we are in Feiyu Group now, and Lashou.com is just a small platform."

"As long as the salary is high, what's wrong with the small platforms? Besides, Lashou.com is not bad either."

"You should think about it carefully. It will be difficult to come back after you leave."

"I've thought about it."

Xiao Zhang said firmly while packing his things.

Three times the salary, the monthly salary is more than 9,000. Idiot is still here. He is not an important position in Feiyu Group.

……

"The later stage of Dream of Red Mansions is finally completed, and the effect is pretty good."

In the Feiyu Entertainment office, Cao Yu nodded with satisfaction after watching the Taixu fantasy part of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Is it okay to use the digital field that can do special effects for "Avatar"?

"Contact CCTV immediately. It would be better to put this drama on CCTV for its first broadcast."

While arranging work, Cao Yu's phone buzzed a few times and found that it was a call from Meituan.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Cao, Juhuasuan, Lashou.com, Wowotuan, etc. are poaching our people and merchants, what should we do?"

"Poach?"

Cao Yu frowned, was he trying to pull the trigger?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "How much was poached?"

"With the three times the treatment they promised, 11 people were poached from the Magic City, six were poached from Yanjing, and 19 were poached from Hangcheng."

"Tell me the total."

"A total of more than 620 promotion specialists have been poached from 65 cities across the country, and more than 100 merchants have asked to terminate their contracts with us, including Xiaofei Niu, Mr. Cao, do we want to take action? "

"Let's wait and see after the Spring Festival."

When Cao Yu heard this number, he felt a little relieved. This number did not hurt his muscles and bones, and it could be regarded as eliminating the waste and retaining the good.

After pondering for a moment, he arranged: "Tell the remaining people to continue to strengthen services and capture users. At the same time, everyone who remains will receive double pay at the end of the year, plus bonuses! In addition, we will supplement the lost people and recruit two thousand people." Delivery person.”

"Yes!"

Although the project manager doesn't understand why the boss is still waiting.

"Little fat cow..."

Cao Yu smiled. He originally wanted to give him a hand, but you ran away, so forget it.

Fortunately, the hotpot chain that currently joins Meituan is Hudi Lao.

Yanjing, Lashou.com office.

The founder Wu Bo was calling someone: "Uncle Ge, we want you to endorse our Lashou.com, and the endorsement fee is three million."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the other person say: "Mr. Wu, I will not accept any endorsements from group buying websites. I'm sorry."

"Uncle Ge, why don't you think about it?"

Wu Bo couldn't understand why the other party refused without thinking. Three million in endorsement fees was a lot.

"No thanks, I still have a show to do."

As he said this, a busy tone came from Wu Bo's phone.

"call"

Wu Bo was helpless. Uncle Ge is considered an actor of the older generation. In the past two years, he has become more famous with "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One". This year, I heard that he has also joined two movies, "If You Are the One 2" and "The Orphan of Zhao". , if you ask him to be the spokesperson, it will definitely be better for Lashou.com.

I didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t take the job.

"Forget it, let's see who else is there"

After thinking about it, I asked people to find other celebrities, but I asked several people. As long as they heard that they were endorsements for group buying websites, no matter how much money they offered, they would not accept them.

"Could it be."

When Wu Bo heard the news, he sat in his chair and thought for a long time before realizing that these people were Boss Cao who was worried about Feiyu.

"Let me go, Boss Cao is so awesome. His influence makes other celebrities afraid to accept this endorsement?"

But Meituan has the popular star Yang Mi as its spokesperson, Juhuasuan has Zhao Yanzi, and LaShou.com wants to advertise on TV. How can it be done without star power?
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered the quarrel between Huayi and Feiyu many years ago, and when Huayi went public, the stock price fell because of Boss Cao's words.

"Look for actors from Huayi. Li Shuangbing, Huang Xiaoming and others can also do it."

But when he called, the other party heard that he was an endorsement for a group buying website, so he refused.

"Even Huayi is afraid of Feiyu?"

Wu Bo was confused. Is Feiyu’s boss Cao really so influential?

He didn't know that the current second boss of Huayi, Wang Zhonglei, owed Boss Cao hundreds of millions, and it was too late to please him. How could he dare to offend Feiyu Group on the bright side?

"It's so hard for me."

Wu Bo shook his head feebly: "Forget it, let's just hand out flyers and get discounts."

On January 25, Iron Fist was released, with a global box office of US$670 million.

On January 26, "She" was released in South Korea, with 9.1 million viewers, setting a new box office record for comedy films.

On January 20, Feiyu Entertainment announced that the Chinese version of the movie "Strange" " Again" has been approved and will be produced by Feiyu Entertainment and Mixing Media Studio.

On the same day, the Oscar-nominated movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was released, with a global box office of 450 million and a domestic box office of 290 million.

On January 28, Samsung and Feiyu Group finalized the budget for jointly investing in a wafer fab.

In the afternoon of that day, both parties held a project press conference, announcing that the first phase investment of the wafer fab was US$6 billion and the second phase investment was US$5 billion. It was planned to start construction at the end of this year and put into production two years later.

Before, when the box office news of the three movies came out, everyone was just envious.

After the Samsung project was announced this time, the whole of China was shocked! Global shock!

Feiyu Group can actually cooperate with a high-tech company like Samsung to enter the chip field that China has always lagged behind. This is huge news!

"Cao!"

In the United States, when Steve Jobs saw this news, he took the P4 mobile phone prototype that Huawei had just released on the table and smashed the screen to pieces.

Samsung, this traitor, dares to keep its words!
