China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 606 604. Can’t cure you?
Ma Yun did not leave Yanjing and return to Hangzhou immediately.

Boss Cao didn't eat the meal, but it couldn't be wasted. While he was eating, he was thinking about the future of the company in his mind.

"If Cao Yu doesn't agree, should I go to the United States and find some funds to raise the stock price?"

Although the market share of e-commerce platforms is now being squeezed smaller and smaller, they still have Alipay, a mature platform that has been operating for many years.

As long as this platform can be established, Ahri will definitely be able to come back to life.

Although WeChat has a lot of users now, it cannot compare with Alipay in terms of functions.

"Zi'er~"

After taking a sip of wine, Ma Yun grinned and sighed, "This thief Cao left without eating a single bite of food. He really didn't give me any face at all. Wait for me to get up again!"

Just as I was getting angry, my cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the phone number and found that it was Cao Yu calling.

He instantly forgot what he had just said, grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button: "Mr. Cao, any news?"

That attitude was even more enthusiastic than before.

Cao Yu said on the phone: "Mr. Ma, I just thought about what you said and I think it makes sense. I can connect Alipay to Meituan and Youduoduo. However, after Alipay is separated from Ali, how many shares can I get?"

"this."

Ma Yun had already planned this before coming to Yanjing, and was planning to give him 20% would be enough.

But now Boss Cao’s attitude made him a little worried. If the share was too small, Cao Yu might not agree.

As for the capital for investment, there is no need to consider it at all, because Boss Cao is not short of money at all.

However, if he was given too much, he would be reluctant to do so because the company must be under his control.

Ma Yun's brain raced for more than 29 times before she said, "Mr. Cao, the new company plans to have three partners, so I can give you %. How about that?"

"cunning."

When Cao Yu heard this ratio, he laughed and cursed in his heart.

This ratio just does not exceed 30%. If there are three partners, I will have a certain say in his new company, but I will not have a dominant position.

He laughed and said: "29% seems a bit too low. I thought it would be more than 30%."

"Mr. Cao, my share in the new company is only 34%. I plan to give 20% to the remaining partner, and the remaining shares will be distributed to other employees of the company. Mr. Cao will be the second largest shareholder of the new company in the future."

Ma Yun explained her plan over the phone.

In fact, according to his original plan, Cao Yu could only be the third largest shareholder.

It’s a pity that Boss Cao’s attitude during the meal just now forced him to make concessions.

Cao Yu was obviously not satisfied with this explanation: "Mr. Ma, since we are cooperating, I need sincerity. You also know the current scale of Meituan and Youduoduo. If we cooperate, how much will the transaction flow here increase?"

"let me see"

Ma Yun naturally knew this, and this was why he had to cooperate with Cao Yu.

Now Taobao's market share is getting smaller and smaller, and the turnover is getting less and less. The company's financial statements are indeed not looking good.

He pretended to hesitate and asked, "How much does Mr. Cao want?"

"At least as much as Mr. Ma."

"impossible!"

Ma Yun refused without hesitation.

He thought Cao Yu was asking for too much, the same amount of shares as himself? Are you dreaming?

"Haha, okay, but thank you for reminding me at noon that it's time for Feiyu Group to develop its own payment software, so that Penguin won't dominate the market."

"CEO Cao!"

Ma Yun's head suddenly felt like it exploded.

Feiyu Group now has money, connections, and technology. If it also develops a payment software, it will certainly not be difficult to obtain a payment license. Then Ali's last hope will be shattered.

He didn't wait for Cao Yu to hang up the phone, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Cao, it's the same amount, I promise you!"

"Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

Cao Yu’s purpose was not to get the trading software. If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.

Besides, he doesn't like lending money, so it's useless to develop it.

He said this just to trick Ma Yun and scare him, but he didn't expect that Ma Yun would actually compromise.

Although Ma Yun had to work harder than before, she still managed to get the job done. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Boss Cao, I'll start preparing for the new company when I get back. I'll let you know when it's almost done."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ma."

Cao Yu said this calmly and hung up the phone.

"I can't cure you yet"

As soon as Cao Yu said this, Yang Shuxue brought him a cup of tea and said, "Who can't you cure?"

"you"

Cao Yu did not take the teacup, but directly pulled the woman into his arms.
After a long while, Yang Shuxue said with satisfaction: "Dear, you can actually make payment software yourself, why not do it?"

"I already have enough money to spend. Besides, there's no point in doing it myself. Now I just hope Alipay doesn't go astray."

Cao Yu remembers that it was because Ali launched micro-loans that many companies followed suit.

As long as Ahri doesn't do it, I guess others won't do it.

Even if it really happens, since I hold more than 30% of the shares, I can completely lower the interest rate to the same level as the bank, and really help some people, instead of pursuing high interest rates and trapping many people in the quagmire and unable to get out.

Yang Shuxue asked: "Dear, do you know why I like you more and more?"

"I do not know."

"Because although you have some minor flaws, such as being lustful, you are still very righteous at heart."

"is it?"

Cao Yu smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "It's because I've been hurt before that this happened."

The next morning, after finishing his company affairs, Cao Yu took Liu Muzi, Li Yitong and seven other girls on a plane to Seoul.

In China, the TV series "Joy of Life", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Zhu Xian" have already started filming, while the actors of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" are still in training and are expected to start filming on May 1st.

The TV series "The Empress of China" was sold to Lizhi TV and is still on air. Because there are so many beauties, the ratings are very good.

Cao Yu gave the project of "Love Is Not Blind" to Liu Yifei to prepare, and at the same time asked the company to adapt "Duds" and the already publicly performed drama "Charlotte's Troubles" into film scripts as soon as possible.

Besides, I didn’t spend the New Year with those Korean girls, so I have to go see them now.

All the members of Qiduo are still students and have never been on a private jet.

It was their first time boarding their boss' plane and they were overwhelmed with excitement.

"Is this a private jet? It's so luxurious!"

"Yes, our boss is really rich. I wonder how much this plane will cost?"

"I guess this plane is just a fraction of the boss's assets."

“I wish I could take this plane more often.”

The seven girls looked here and there, wanting to touch but feeling a little embarrassed.

"cough"

Seeing that the girls were a little reserved, Cao Yu coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Sit down first. I wrote a song here. You can take a look at it first."

When Liu Muzi and the others saw that the boss was talking about business, they all sat down on the sofa and took the music in front of them.

"'Falling Flower Love'? The boss actually wrote this song?"

A few girls curiously opened the song, and after a moment they all looked at the boss with admiration.

The melody of the song is very beautiful and has a strong Chinese style. It seems that the boss did not lie to them.

But, is it really possible for a Chinese style girl group to debut in Korea?
Cao Yu doesn't care whether it works or not. This time, letting Qiduo debut in Korea first is just an attempt.

"During this time in Korea, you should practice this song well. As for the dance, there are several professional dance students among you. Study it first, and then I will find a choreographer for you."

After he finished his arrangements, he said: "Your group is called Qiduo. Now determine your identities according to your ages. Who is the first duo, who is the second duo, and so on to the little duo." The girls looked at each other for a while before they reported their specific ages.

Among the seven girls, An Yuexi was born in June 89 and was confirmed as the first one.

Xu Manqi is half a year younger than An Yuexi and is the second flower. Li Yitong, born in 90, is the third flower. Wei Huan, born in 91, is the fourth flower. Wu Yuanyuan is the fifth flower. Liu Muzi, born in 92, is the sixth flower. The youngest, Ju Jingyi, is the small flower.

Looking at the seven people who are even more beautiful than the original seven flowers, Cao Yu is more confident that this group will become a big hit.

Even if the attempt fails in Korea, Chinese traditional music will surely flourish in China, which can be considered as a countermeasure to the invasion of Korean Wave.

Ju Jingyi has been at Feiyu Entertainment the longest, and she asked the most critical question on behalf of everyone: "Boss, can Chinese-style songs really become popular? The most popular thing now is Korean K-POP."

"We should always try something new. Is our Chinese culture worse than K-POP?"

Cao Yu's words immediately made stars sparkle in the eyes of the seven girls.

The boss is really great.

"Okay, stop looking at me like that. I have a girlfriend."

Cao Yu smiled at the seven girls and said, "Practice hard during this period, don't let the Koreans look down on us."

"understood!"

The girls agreed immediately, saying that if they could really start a new wave of traditional Chinese style, then they would have significance for this era.

Soon, the plane landed at Seoul Airport, and Jin Guangzhu and his men were there to greet us.

After getting in the car, Cao Yu asked first, "President Jin, how is the box office of "Thieves Alliance" recently?"

"President, our film has already surpassed the 1009 million viewership of Haeundae. Even now that it hasn't been released, it has already attracted more than million viewers."

The Golden Pig's voice was full of excitement.

"The Thieves" did not premiere simultaneously around the world, but was first released in South Korea and South Korea during the Spring Festival.

The release in Japan and China will be scheduled at the end of February, and in Southeast Asia in March.

During the summer vacation this year, Jun Ji-hyun became popular with "My Love from the Star", which just happened to allow "The Thieves" to take advantage of this wave of popularity. In more than half a month, the performance was better than Cao Yu expected.

Moreover, this film combines various elements of commercial films: likable characters, gorgeous special effects, exciting actions, beautiful actors, ups and downs of the plot, and some comedy elements. It would be strange if it didn't become a hit.

Not counting the revenue from other countries, there were 12 million moviegoers in South Korea alone. If one ticket was calculated at 10,000 won, that would be nearly 100 million US dollars.

This box office is not low even in China, let alone in Korea with a population of only over 50 million.

As Jin Guang Zhu said this, he also took out a piece of data: "Because of the popularity of "Thieves Alliance", our company's stock has also risen by 11% in the past two days."

Cao Yu asked hurriedly: "Has the company's market value exceeded 10 billion US dollars?"

"Not yet. Our market value is already 9.7 billion US dollars, just a little bit short."

"Oh, when we get to the company, we'll have a meeting first."

Cao Yu nodded, but was a little disappointed. Last year, Girls' Generation, T-ARA, EXO and other groups were so popular, and they made a lot of money through several film and television works, but their market value is still less than 10 billion?

The speed is a bit slow.

When he arrived at the company, he first asked about the company's recent situation, and then announced: "Everyone has worked hard during this period, but we still have to continue working hard. When the company's market value exceeds 10 billion, I will give a portion of my shares as a reward to everyone."

"clap clap"

Hearing the president say this, the entire conference room burst into applause.

Everyone's face was full of excitement.

FNC is now at its peak in South Korea and these shares are extremely valuable.

Even if I give myself 0.5%, it would be more than I can use in half a lifetime.

Little did they know that because Cao Yu was going to launch a Chinese traditional style band, if the Korean cultural and tourism department discovered his intention and ruthlessly suppressed it, FNC’s stock price might fall.

It is better to cash out and reduce holdings at the highest point to reduce risks.

Besides, the money earned in Korea must be transferred back to China.

After the applause died down, he took out the script outline he had prepared and handed it to Jin Guang Zhu: "This is the script I wrote some time ago. Ask the screenwriter department to perfect it within three months and start filming before summer."

"Also, continue to promote the box office of 'The Thieves' and strive to break through 13 million viewers as soon as possible."

Hearing this number, everyone present became even more excited.

This movie has not been taken off the screen yet, and although the box office has dropped sharply, but with the halo of breaking the record, it may trigger a new wave of movie-watching, and it is very likely to set an unprecedented new record!
If the number of moviegoers can really exceed 1,300 or 1,400, it is estimated that no one will break this record in the next few years.

In fact, Cao Yu has not watched many Korean movies since 2015, and now several of his favorite ones that he has watched several times have been filmed.

There’s only one movie left, “Parasite”, and it’s definitely not appropriate to shoot it now.

Besides, wasn’t I also enjoying the luxurious chaebol life like in the movies?

In the next two years, I will let the company's screenwriting department prepare the scripts, or buy scripts for filming. I don't have to work so hard and can just come to Korea and enjoy myself.

Speaking of enjoyment, after the meeting, Cao Yu asked Lee Soo Man to arrange the seven flowers while he went to find Lee Ji Eun.

I gave the little girl a song last time, and I don’t know how she is doing now.

As FNC's popular solo singer, Lee Ji-eun has become the company's money-making tool. She has a full schedule of advertisements, endorsements, and performances, and she alone generates nearly 8% of the company's revenue.

The little girl didn't know the president had come, and was still in her music room preparing for the performances in the next few days.

"Xiao Jieun, you work really hard."

When Cao Yu opened the door, he saw the little girl sitting in front of the piano adjusting the tone.

She was wearing a red sweater today, with her long straight hair draped over her shoulders, making her look fresh and cute.

When Li Zhien heard the voice, she knew who was coming. She immediately put down what she was doing, ran over and jumped on Cao Yu: "OPPA, when did you come?"

"Just arrived."

Anyway, he had kissed her last time, so Cao Yu had no intention of letting this little girl go.

He hugged this little girl who made countless boys and even uncles fall in love for the first time, and smiled and said, "How are your recent music performances?"

Li Zhien blushed as she enjoyed the embrace of the man she had a long crush on. She whispered, "My new album has been downloaded over 800,000 times, 180,000 copies have been sold, and I won six first place in the promotion."

"Tired?"

"Kind of."

Li Zhien nodded slightly.

Although he is very famous, he is ultimately just an artist in the company and a tool for the company to make money.

Cao Yu saw that the little girl was indeed a little tired, so he said, "How about this, I'll give you a week off and accompany me to Japan to go skiing!"

"Holiday? Go to Japan with OPPA? When are we going?"

Lee Ji-eun has been to Japan before, but this time is different. She went with the man she likes, and she was suddenly both excited and shy.

She understood that this vacation with OPPA should be like a honeymoon.

It’s a pity that one week is too short.

"I need to finish arranging things here in two days, and then we'll leave."

This time when Cao Yu comes out, he must go to Japan.

The animated film "Your Name" was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day, but Toho Japan sent an email some time ago saying that the film had been sent to several film festivals and planned to win awards before being released publicly.

Cao Yu is not interested in winning awards at all. He mainly wants to get his investment money back as soon as possible.

Therefore, I planned to talk to Toho Pictures and take Lee Ji-eun to relax.

When IU heard that she would be leaving in two days, she asked hurriedly, "So should I take a day off today? Or should I wait for two days?"

"Well, let it go now, I have the final say!"

Cao Yu put the little girl down and said, "Go and tell Lee Soo Man that I said to cancel all performance arrangements and take a rest!"

"Long live OPPA!"

Li Zhien immediately kissed Cao Yu on the face, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back and blushed and said, "OPPA, today is a day off, can I invite you to dinner tonight? I cook delicious food."

Cao Yu looked at the little girl's expectant and shy expression, and his appetite was aroused: "Okay!"

After Lee Ji-eun lowered her head and walked out, Cao Yu stood up and looked around the room full of girlishness. He thought to himself, "Little girl, you can't wait to say goodbye to your girlhood?"
