China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 612 610. How much is conscience worth?
At the Samsung Industrial Park, amid the deafening sound of firecrackers and applause, the colorful ribbon symbolizing the opening of the park was cut by the crowd.

After the editing, the first opportunity to speak on stage was given to several leaders.

They said a lot of words of support and encouragement in terms of policies, and then it was Cao Yu's turn to speak.

The secretary had already written the speech in the past two days. Although he had read it, his opening at this moment was different from the manuscript.

Walking to the microphone, he coughed lightly and spoke first: "I was born in this land and I love this land. The people and water here raised me, so I naturally have to give back to this land."

“This is what every entrepreneur should do.”

The local leaders were the first to applaud, thinking that there should be more wealthy people like Boss Cao.

When Liu Lingdong heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Brothers, it turns out that they all have the same ideas.

However, some people curled their lips and thought, "Don't you just want to return home in glory? You sound so high-sounding."

After the applause, Cao Yu continued: "In addition, I would like to thank all the leaders present for their support for this project. Without the good local policies, the Feiyu and Samsung projects would not have opened so quickly."

After being praised like this, the local leaders felt that Boss Cao was a good person.

With just this one sentence, the political achievements are considered secure.

On the stage, Cao Yu glanced at the crowd again and continued aloud: "We have entered the 21st century for ten years. The world has entered the information age, and now we have entered the intelligent age and the digital age."

"In this great era, the most important thing is chips, and China started late in this area, but I believe that through cooperation with Samsung, we will definitely catch up!"

"Kakaka…"

All reporters recorded everything Cao Yu said.

Some foreign reporters even thought that this park seemed to be just a production base, but why did Boss Cao say that?

Did Samsung give its technology to China? That's impossible, right?
However, the Chinese reporter believed that Boss Cao was just shouting slogans and there was nothing to be surprised about.

When Lee Boo-jin heard Cao Yu's speech, she glared at him from the audience.

"Why didn't you follow the script? What do you think the US will think of your words?"

Thinking of this, she looked at several foreign reporters, hoping that her man's remarks would not cause any disturbance.

Cao Yu spoke a long and eloquent speech, from informatization to the development trend of science and technology, which took him a full ten minutes to finish.

"He said he wanted to increase investment in scientific research and development and establish a research institute? Haha, that's a bottomless pit..."

Ma Yun clapped and muttered to himself.

Liu Chuanzhi, who was sitting next to him, was invited as a guest and sat next to Ma Yun.

Hearing what Ma Yun said, he said with disdain: "Boss Ma is right. We have already been globally integrated. Can our technology compare with the West? Is it necessary to set up a research institute? It is just throwing money away. But Boss Cao has money, so it doesn't matter."

"Yeah, really rich..."

Ma Yun smiled bitterly and sighed, thinking of the two million that Boss Cao had taken away from her with a domain name.

He believed that without the two million, Cao Yu would never be where he is today.

But now, I am asking him to do it again.

Mr. Ma feels very sad.

After Cao Yu’s speech, Lee Boo-jin, representing Samsung, also gave a speech in Korean to express her gratitude for the opening ceremony.

The content is the future development direction and production scale of this industrial park, as well as the investment plan for the next few years.

The ceremony was truly over only after Lee Boo-jin finished her speech and she and Cao Yu accompanied many leaders and guests to visit the park.

However, on the same day, Cao Yu's speech indeed caused an uproar in China and internationally.

The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, mainstream American media, gave extensive coverage to Cao Yu’s speech at the opening ceremony.

They said that judging from Hua Xia Cao's speech, Chinese chips seemed to want to rise, and US semiconductor companies must be careful in dealing with it.

Some people also speculated whether Samsung and Feiyu Group have other cooperation besides this factory?

But the attitude of the Chinese media is completely different.

"Asia's richest man Cao Yu publicly announced that he will increase investment in science and technology in the next few years and expressed his intention to retain more talents in China!"

“Feiyu’s President Cao predicted that the digital age has arrived. Whether his prediction is accurate remains to be seen.”

“Feiyu Technology has the potential to break the Western monopoly on semiconductors!”

"Science and technology will make the country strong! China needs Feiyu Group and entrepreneurs like Cao Yu!"

Chinese netizens were also very excited when they saw the news.

"I will study hard and join Feiyu Group in the future!"

"It is said that Feiyu Company has the best treatment in the country. It is an entertainment company under a major group and there are many beautiful women."

"Science and technology will make the country prosperous. Boss Cao is truly an entrepreneur with ideals and ambitions."

……

Such reports and netizens' comments quickly made Cao Yu a hot topic.

However, some entrepreneurs said that Cao Yu’s remarks may lead to the United States imposing sanctions on China, which is not a good thing. They hope that netizens and the media will remain calm.

At this time, Cao Yu was listening to Li Fuzhen's complaints in the hotel.

"My dear, your remarks this morning may make the US suspicious of Samsung. What if they restrict the sale of our chips to you?"

"If this happens, our sales will be affected, and it will not be good for the development of your Chinese electronic products."

“Blah blah blah.”

Cao Yu was impatient and snorted, "What are you afraid of? You are such a big company, are you still afraid of the suspicion of the United States?"

Lee Boo-jin retorted: "Why not? Most of Samsung's shares are controlled by Wall Street."

"If we don't allow you to sell chips to China, that's fine, we will develop our own!"

This is Cao Yu’s goal. Only by putting himself to death can he be reborn.

"Developing semiconductors is not easy if you don't have the foundation."

Lee Boo-jin doesn't think China can overtake others, as semiconductors are not that easy to make.

Cao Yu gently held Li Fuzhen in his arms: "Then it depends on my Fuzhen. When will your lithography machine arrive?"

"So, you have this idea in mind!"

Although Lee Boo-jin loves Cao Yu very much, love is nothing compared to the interests of Samsung.

"There's nothing we can do. We can't always rely on others." Cao Yu smiled and said, "You said it before, research and development is not that easy. We won't have any impact on you."

After hearing what Cao Yu said, Li Fuzhen was relieved and said, "That's right. Even if we only have lithography machines, without technical accumulation, it is really impossible to catch up with Samsung, TSMC, or even Silicon Valley."

But she immediately became worried: "But what if Samsung's performance is affected?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen that fast. If you can think that, the top leaders in the United States probably don't believe that China can develop the latest chips."

Cao Yu explained: "Besides, even if Samsung's performance is affected, it will be good for you. If our e-commerce, hotel, theme park and other projects develop well, you will have more weight in our father's heart. Maybe then you will have more say in Samsung."

"hiss"

Li Fuzhen took a deep breath and stared at the man in front of her. She couldn't help but admire Cao Yu's cunningness even more.

At the same time, I felt a little touched.

It turns out that my man was thinking about me, and I was blaming him just now.

She immediately snuggled into Cao Yu's arms: "Dear, you are so nice. I will reward you now."

"How to reward?"

"that's all"

Lee Boo-jin said, kissing Cao Yu from the forehead, bit by bit
After a while, Cao Yu couldn't help but lean his head back in comfort, and his body became a little tense.
After the opening ceremony, Lee Boo-jin had to arrange the production matters here. Cao Yu also stayed in Chang'an for two days and then went to Zhejiang Province without stopping.

In addition to obtaining shares of Zhi Fubao, he also wanted to visit the crews of "Joy of Life" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

After getting off the plane in Hangzhou, he went directly to the Ali headquarters park in Binjiang.

This was Cao Yu’s first time visiting this new industrial park. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the naked muscular man.

"Haha, Luoti, the culture is very open."

Cao Yu glanced at the burly man and was about to quickly go upstairs when Ma Yun, with a smile on his face, came out with a group of people.

"Mr. Cao, welcome to the Ali headquarters."

Ma Yun held Cao Yu's hand and was reluctant to let go. After all, Ali's future depended on this man.

"Mr. Ma, you are too polite."

Cao Yu smiled and pretended to be modest, but in his heart he remembered that eight years ago, when he and Cai Chongxin went to Ali, they didn't even meet Boss Ma. Now it's like this, the difference is really quite big.

Ma Yun led Cao Yu and his group into the company building and asked, "Mr. Cao, do you want to visit Ali?"

Cao Yu shook his head: "No, let's talk business. I have to go to Xiangshan this afternoon."

"So urgent? I said I was showing my hospitality."

"We're all family from now on, no need to be so polite."

Cao Yu didn't want to waste time, and Hangzhou was a food desert, so why stayed?

And are we really one of us? Hehe…

"Mr. Cao is really busy."

Ma Yun said this, but in her heart she was thinking, this guy was probably going to Xiangshan to meet that star again.

So happy.
Last time in Yanjing, Cao Yu and Ma Yun had actually reached a preliminary intention, that is, Ali would separate Zhifubao from the Internet and establish a new company called Ant.

In this new company, Ma Yun holds a 34% stake, Feiyu Group holds a 31% stake, and the rest belongs to other shareholders.

The condition is that the payment ports of several platforms under Feiyu Group, including Meituan, Youduoduo, and Feie Video, are connected to Zhifubao.

As for the investment money, Cao Yu invested 9.3 million yuan and Ma Yun invested 10.2 billion yuan. The registered capital of the new company was a total of billion yuan.

During the contract signing process, Ma Yun also specially invited reporters from Zhejiang Province to interview.

At such an important moment, how can Ali’s shares be increased without some hype?
After signing the contract and sending the reporters away, Cao Yu put the contract away and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, what does the statue of the naked strong man downstairs mean?"

Ma Yun smiled and said, "That is our Ali's development concept and culture, which means honesty, courage and confidence."

"Honest, it's really good."

Cao Yu laughed and asked, "Mr. Ma, regarding technology, I will have someone coordinate with you to connect to the payment port as soon as possible. But I want to ask, how will the new company develop?"

"Damn, are you trying to trick me? If I don't tell the truth, then I'm not being honest enough?"

Ma Yun was initially humiliated, but since she had already said it, she could only say helplessly, "I plan to launch a microfinance business once the company has accumulated a certain amount of cash flow. Our main customer target will be high-quality users on the Ali International website, and then we will expand to individuals in the future."

After he finished speaking, he saw Cao Yu frowning, and added: "Mr. Cao, you may not agree, but finance is more promising and more profitable than the real economy."

Cao Yu asked back: "You are already in the financial industry, aren't you afraid of a crisis?"

"After the skills crisis in 08, the world is now in a very good situation. Even if there is a crisis, it will probably take many years. We just took the opportunity to develop."

Ma Yun naturally analyzed the current situation and knew that now was the best time to work in finance.

In fact, Cao Yu admires Ma Yun's vision very much, but he always believes that the entity is the foundation of the country.

He did not argue with Ma Yun about this issue, but asked: "This is a good thing, but what is the interest rate of the loan?"

Ma Yun said: "About 9%."

Cao Yu shook his head and said, "It's too high. How much is the bank?"

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Is it easy to get a bank loan? Ours is unsecured, so the risk is too great, so of course the price is higher."

Cao Yu asserted his shareholder rights and demanded, "The purpose of mortgage loans is to help people, not to pursue high profits. I think it should be higher than the bank, about six percentage points. If not, I would rather not do such a conscienceless thing!"

"Mr. Cao, six points is too low."

Ma Yun was not convinced. She said that capitalists can make more money because they have no conscience. How much is conscience worth?

"Mr. Ma, I don't love money, nor do I care about money. This interest rate is already high. If it goes any higher, it will make life even more difficult for many people!"

Cao Yu was very resolute: "I am a shareholder of the new company, with 30% of the shares, and I have a say in the company's decisions."

"."

Seeing this, Ma Yun felt so regretful.

Don’t you love money? You have run so many businesses, why are you busy if you don’t make money?
Then can I not ask for your money and run the Ant Company myself?

But he couldn't and didn't dare to say this.

The current Youduoduo is really terrifying, and with their big data support, it is simply a nuclear bomb. If the two sides fall out again, Ahri will probably be finished.

I calculated in my mind for a while. Although I felt that the interest rate of six points was a bit low, it was still 80% higher than that of the bank, so it was barely acceptable.

"Well, Mr. Cao is really a conscientious entrepreneur."

In the end, Ma Yun could only helplessly praise Cao Yu and agreed with gritted teeth: "Six points is six points."

"Then I won't bother you."

Having taken control of Mr. Ma, Cao Yu felt very happy and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing Boss Cao off, Ma Yun came to the bronze statue of the fat man alone, and the more he looked at it, the more he disliked it.

That's three points. If 100 billion is released in the future, the loss in one month will be several hundred million.
At this time, Cao Yu was also sitting in the car, humming a little tune.

If these three points are reduced, I wonder how many people can save some of their hard-earned money.

It is easy for capitalists to make money, but it is really difficult for ordinary people.

With this little money, maybe their lives will be better, and it can really help more physical business owners.

After leaving Hangzhou, Cao Yu arrived at Xiangshan Film and Television City in the afternoon.

Today, the third phase of the Xiangshan Film and Television City has been basically completed. The entire film and television city covers an area of ​​nearly 6,000 acres and has become the second largest film and television shooting base in the country.

The third phase is mainly based on the Tang-style palace, and some scenes of "Joy of Life" were filmed here.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is mainly a Qing Dynasty palace drama, and the scenes are mainly set in Hengdian.

Cao Yu’s requirement for filming is to use real scenes as much as possible. If special effects are needed, they must be realistic and must not fool the audience.

What kind of special effects does "Game of Thrones" have?
Our film and television dramas cannot lose to them.

Cao Yu arrived at the crew and found that many tourists were surrounding the crew to watch the fun.

"Look, that guy."

"That's Boss Cao!"

"That's him! So handsome! So young!"

"Wow! He's waving at us!"

The TV series released by Feiyu Entertainment in the past two years, whether it is "Dream of Red Mansions", "Beauty's Rival in Palace" or "The Empress of China", have all been the ratings champions of the year in terms of both reputation and popularity.

In addition to the exciting plot, the beautiful girls and handsome guys in the play also feast the eyes of the audience.

Who wouldn’t like a TV series with all beauties in the cast and great acting skills, whether a man or a woman?

The current show "Joy of Life" is said to have good beauties, so of course everyone wants to come and see it.

What they didn't expect was that they saw Boss Cao dominating the hot searches on Weibo in the past two days because of the opening of Samsung.

This is a pleasant surprise for all tourists.

Especially this Boss Cao, he is not like some other stars, surrounded by people and security guards, he seems very down-to-earth.

He also waved to the onlookers from time to time.

Some girls even screamed excitedly: "Yang Guo! Yang Guo! I love you!"

Pang Yuan looked at the enthusiastic tourists around him and said jokingly, "Boss Cao, everyone still remembers you, Yang Guo."

"At least I was once an actor, and having a role that people remember is enough."

Cao Yu smiled slightly and came to the shooting site.

At this time, the crew was filming the rivalry between Emperor Qing and Li Yunrui.

Cao Yu sat on the sidelines with great interest, watching the two veteran actors perform against each other, which was quite exciting.

"Sister Xiaoyu's acting is really good. She didn't yell, but she used her eyes and tone to fully portray the cruelty and madness of this woman."

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of the girl Yang Mi.

Although Yang Mi's acting skills are pretty good now, unfortunately she still lacks in eye expression and expressing anger, and sometimes she even likes to yell.

"Next time there is a chance, let Yang Mi and Xiao Yu learn from them carefully."

Just as I was thinking about it, the scene had already been filmed.

Li Xiaoyu saw Cao Yu, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, walking towards her with graceful steps.

Cao Yu said with admiration: "Sister Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful!"

Li Xiaoyu did not appreciate Cao Yu's compliments at all, and complained directly: "The role you arranged for me is too cruel, a complete lunatic, a psychopath, I don't want to play it anymore."
