China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 688. Director Feng is scared; President Ma is shocked

Hangcheng.

"Boss Ma, you must help me this time, otherwise our Yunfeng Media will be finished."

Now that Zhao Yanzi’s Weibo account has been blocked, it’s useless even if a large number of internet trolls come out to clean up her name. She has completely become a lost cause.

It had previously made a small profit in the stock market by making a quick buck, and this time it wanted to leverage Ali's strength to go public and cash out.

Unfortunately, the company can’t even go public now, and it might even be shut down.

"Because you're so stupid!"

Ma Yun was really going crazy because of this woman: "I invested so much money, if you just make a few good movies, the company can go public, why do you want to offend Cao Yu? There are so many actresses in the entertainment industry, why do you insist on bringing Yang Ying into the company? Now you ask me what to do?"

"Didn't you also nod when signing Yang Ying?"

Zhao Yanzi only dared to say this in her heart at this time, and she begged: "Boss Ma, you can't just watch our investment go down the drain."

In fact, Ma Yun also feels sorry for this entertainment company and doesn't want it to go bankrupt.

Moreover, the movie "The Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" which he invested in last year not only had a dismal box office, but was also criticized as a dog.

It seems that my vision for investing in movies is really bad.

The movie "Youth" that Zhao Yanzi had high hopes for has just been released, but it has received very good reviews.

Therefore, Zhao Yanzi is still somewhat useful. In addition, they have developed some feelings for each other after working together for several years. The entertainment company still has to rely on her guidance as an expert.

Ma Yun hesitated for a while and said, "How about this, you apologize publicly first, and when this matter is resolved, you sell all the shares of the company to the Ali Group and then retire behind the scenes. I will also acquire a listed entertainment company, and we will integrate the two companies together."

Seeing Zhao Yanzi's hesitation, he added, "Don't worry, I can give your husband some shares. After the company is integrated, you can invest more money and become the second largest shareholder of the new company."

Ma Yun no longer wants the entertainment company to develop according to the original plan, as that would be too slow.

Rather than developing step by step by making movies, it is faster to go public through a backdoor listing.

Zhao Yanzi thought about it and felt that Ma Yun’s suggestion made some sense. As long as the entertainment company could become a listed company and make a few good movies to increase the stock price, she could make hundreds of millions.

By then, even if I am banned, I can still live a carefree life for the rest of my life.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Ma Yun was unhappy: "You don't want to?"

"I am willing."

Zhao Yanzi nodded quickly, and then reminded with some concern: "Although what Mr. Ma said is a good idea, I am afraid that the several movies and TV series invested in this year will lose money, and Cao Yu is a ruthless person, Mr. Ma should be careful."

"I know there is competition, but in the business world, everyone is a respectable person and there is no real conflict."

Ma Yun was not worried at all. Although she and Cao Yu were in competition, they also had cooperation.

As long as a few movies and TV series become popular, the company will be able to rise. No matter how rich you, Cao Yu, are, you are not a relevant department after all, and it is impossible for you to cover everything with one hand.

What he is most anxious about now is to develop Ele.me well and strive to get the group listed in the United States next year.

After Zhifubao becomes successful, it may be a little difficult to become the world's richest man, but you can still try to become the richest man in China.

Although Ma Yun felt that Cao Yu would not cover up everything, Zhao Yanzi's incident caused an uproar in the entertainment industry. People in the industry saw how terrible Boss Cao was through this incident.

Although Zhao Yanzi brought this upon herself, everyone knows that it is best not to offend Boss Cao in the entertainment industry.

Zhao Yanzi also received a response to her request for help from Ge You and others.

The basic meaning is, there’s nothing we can do, you’d better take care of yourself and don’t contact us again.

Two days later, Zhao Yanzi publicly apologized to the society through Yunfeng Media’s official Weibo.

But netizens still don't buy it and are still calling for her to get out of the entertainment industry.

It’s a pity that the investigation by the relevant departments will take some time. Apart from being scolded and banned from the entertainment industry, Zhao Yanzi is still free for the time being.

"This Cao Yu is so cruel."

But even such a result still made Feng Xiaogang tremble with fear.

Fortunately, he spent eight million to invite two singers from Feiyu Entertainment to sing the theme song for the new movie, and the relationship seems to have eased.

When "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is released, I will show my good intentions and maybe I won't follow in Zhao Yanzi's footsteps.

Although he still hated Cao Yu in his heart, he also heard that Cao Yu might become the vice chairman of the Film Association.

Anyway, the entertainment industry is always putting down the powerful and praising the weak. It seems that I won’t be able to do that unless I bow my head.

The situation is stronger than people. It is not shameful to bow to Boss Cao in order to make money.

Yanjing.

After reading Zhao Yanzi's apology online, Cao Yu just snorted coldly.

He felt that although this woman apologized, Ma Yun, as a shareholder, must have a backup plan.

Therefore, he would not give up. What he wanted was to completely destroy Zhao Yanzi and then get rid of Ahri as well.

He had heard that Ele.me had started to exploit its riders in order to deliver food faster.

Since the other party won't listen to advice, let's take him down!

But after Zhao Yanzi's incident, the box office of the movie "Fuji Explosion" became a hit.

After ten days of release, the box office has exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars. Combined with the box office in other countries, it has now grossed 500 million US dollars.

While many people were still waiting for the results of the relevant departments' investigation into Zhao Yanzi, another variety show of Feiyu Entertainment, "Youth Drone Competition", was broadcast on Feie Video and CCTV-10.

At the opening ceremony of the competition, Zhang Jie first sang "On Young China" passionately. Afterwards, many stars who have been popular recently, such as Liu Yifei, Ni Ni, Liu Shishi, Xiao Zhan, Qiduo and others, appeared as guests of the competition.

Only then did the audience realize that the competitive program "Drone Competition" was actually so awesome?

It’s worthy of being a variety show produced by Feiyu. The lineup of celebrity guests is unbeatable!
Especially after the show host Chen Duling appeared, the audience was even more amazed. Not only was this girl beautiful, but she was also a top student at Jinling Aerospace University?

With the influence of many stars and beautiful hosts, the program immediately attracted the attention of many viewers.

In the official competition, there are not only drone aerial photography, control and combination, but also contestants and celebrities interact and play games together, making the program, which may have been a bit boring, look full of fun.

After the program was broadcast, it immediately became popular among many young people and also triggered a wave of craze for playing with drones.

Parents will naturally support this kind of program that combines education with entertainment and develops children's hands-on skills.

Young people can watch Yi Yang Qianxi, Wang Junkai, Wang Yuan and other young stars of similar age.

Those who are a little older can watch handsome men and beautiful women like Liu Yifei and Xiao Zhan, which made this competitive variety show, which many people were not optimistic about, actually snatch the popularity of the top ten competition of "2013 Happy Boys".

Even the China Youth Daily published an article praising Feiyu Entertainment's program and saying that celebrities should play a good guiding role for young people.

This statement not only praised Feiyu, but also satirized Zhao Yanzi.

Fortunately, the show is broadcast on Friday and Saturday nights, so it does not have too big an impact on the ratings of "Happy Boys".

This is also thanks to Mango TV's ability to hype things up. They allowed Hua Chenyu to advance from the top ten in the Changsha division, and the program became popular as it was criticized.

Of course, more viewers want to see whether their favorite Zhou Di will win the championship.

In mid-August, Cao Yu sat in his office, drinking tea and listening to his secretary report on recent developments.

"Mr. Cao, after the drone competition program was broadcast, DJI became the most popular drone brand in the country. During this period, the number of orders on Youduoduo and Jingdong increased by 17 million, and sales increased by more than 3 billion, compared with the same period last year..."

"Got it, next one."

Cao Yu naturally expected such a result.

Drones are not just toys; they will play a huge role in the future and may even determine the outcome of a war.

Therefore, he does not want today's young children to focus only on singing and dancing, but also to focus on science and technology, so that the country and the nation will have hope.

"The first batch of Meituan bikes have been shipped to various places and will be officially put into operation on September 1st."

"Well, next one."

"As new students from some universities started to enroll, Meituan's market share dropped to 85%, while Ele.me's market share reached 13%, and Zhifubao's users increased by more than million."

"next."

Zhang Xiaotian felt a little worried when he heard the boss asking for the next item before he had finished listening.

She had heard recently that Ele.me was developing very fast. Not to mention the two cities of Hangzhou and Shanghai, they had even eroded many universities in Yanjing.

College students have less living expenses, so Ele.me’s low-price strategy is more attractive to them.

"Ali is about to come to your door, and Meituan's stock price has fallen by several percentage points. How can Mr. Cao remain so calm?"

Zhang Xiaotian is very worried. Even if Meituan Bike can increase the number of WeChat real-name users, it cannot defeat Ele.me.

However, she remembered that when her boss was in Korea, he easily brought down a chaebol, so she felt that the man she liked must have a backup plan.

"I have to believe him, he is very powerful."

Although Zhang Xiaotian thought so, her boss remained indifferent to her for several months and only treated her as a subordinate. This made her feel more and more that it was really difficult to get the boss to pay attention to her and like her.

Boss Cao had no idea what the intern secretary was thinking and continued to listen to another secretary's work report.

"Mulan is off the screen, and the final box office has exceeded 3.24 billion"

"The four movies "Charlotte's Troubles", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Assassins 2", and "The Mermaid" have all been completed, and the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds" was also completed yesterday."

While the secretary was reporting, the door of Cao Yu's office was pushed open and Yang Mi walked in hurriedly.

"Brother! I'm back!"

Yang Mi didn't care about the presence of others, she came directly behind Cao Yu and hugged her brother's neck: "Do you miss me?"

It was the first time that Zhang Xiaotian met Yang Mi. Seeing the two of them like this, he couldn't help but think to himself, "There's definitely something wrong with their relationship!"

Then, she felt sad again. She suddenly realized that apart from her education, she seemed to have no advantage over these girls.

"What should I do? Should I change my strategy and be more proactive with my boss?"

She began to have serious doubts about her previous passive strategy.

Cao Yu did not answer, but said to the two secretaries: "You go out first, I will look at the documents myself later."

"Ah."

The two secretaries nodded, opened the door and left.

As soon as he left the house, Zhang Xiaotian said to Cao Yu's former secretary: "Sister Sun, the boss and Yang Mi seem to have an unusual relationship."

"Xiaotian, as a secretary, you should know what you should know, and it's better not to know what you shouldn't know."

Cao Yu's secretary Xiao Sun has been following her boss for several years and has heard a little about his affairs, but she is very smart and never asks about his personal matters other than work.

Zhang Xiaotian felt that he was a little abrupt just now, so he changed the question: "Does our boss have the habit of touching his secretary?"

"Don't worry, I won't!"

"Won't?"

Zhang Xiaotian thought, this is the end. If he doesn’t do anything, then what chance does he have?
Do I really have to put my hands on him?

This way, the initiative is no longer in my hands.

Is it really that difficult to be a rich man’s wife?

In the office, after Zhang Xiaotian and the others left, Cao Yu held Yang Mi in his arms and said, "Our most beautiful woman in the world is back."

"Tsk, you only know how to say nice things to coax me, where's your happy shot? Why can't I find it? I'm not happy, I want the shot!"

"I just got back like this!"

Cao Yu patted Yang Mi lightly and said with a smile, "Are the scripts for "Eastern Palace" and "Go Princess Go" ready?"

"It's done, but I want to have a baby, as you promised me before!"

"Okay, okay, let's go home and give birth now!"

Cao Yu saw the mist in Yang Mi's eyes and knew that this girl must be feeling pent up after filming for the past six months.

During the following period, Boss Yang was busy exploiting Cao Yu while also working on the two dramas "Eastern Palace" and "Go Princess Go".

She is now very confident in the studio. If these two dramas become popular, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.

At the same time, on August 6, the box office of "Fuji: The Explosion", "Fast & Furious " and "Pacific Rim" began to slow down.

Huayi’s film Detective Dee: Rise of the Mystery Phantom Flame was released.

This movie is the work of Xu Ke. Although it does not have Andy Lau and Li Shuangbing from the first film, the dance of Dilraba Dilmurat in the behind-the-scenes footage still attracted many amazed audiences and they went to the cinema.

Under such circumstances, the movie's box office on the first day was neither high nor low, earning more than 60 million.

But viewers who have watched "Mulan" feel that the film is really not that good.

It is said to be a suspense film, but it is not suspenseful at all, and the lines of the male protagonist are stiff. After watching the whole movie, except for Reba's dance, the rest is just like drinking boiled water.

What made the audience criticize even more was that there was actually a sea in Luoyang in the movie?
Two days later, the box office of "The Mysterious Dragon King", which had a bad reputation, dropped sharply, but Reba became popular because of her dance which was not performed for a long time.

Yang Ying felt very sad when she saw that Reba was more popular than a dance troupe.

"It's all his fault for replacing me! Otherwise I should be the one getting angry!"

Instead of reflecting on her own problems, she blamed all the responsibility on Cao Yu, thinking that it was because of her boss's favoritism that she ended up in this situation.

"I want to be famous! I must be famous!"

Although the boss Zhao Yanzi was investigated, the company was not in chaos and it is said that it is very likely to go public next year.

If it was true, Yang Ying felt that she still had a chance.

What she wants to see most now is Cao Yu’s regretful look after she becomes famous.

Another person who has this idea is Wu Yifan.

He didn't have a good time during this period.

Originally, he had Zhao Yanzi's protection, but when Zhao Yanzi got into trouble, several of the company's film and television projects were forced to come to a halt, and he could not receive resources from other film and television companies, so he had to do nothing every day.

Seeing that his former teammates from EXO have become a top boy band, his heart aches.

He spends all day either drowning his sorrows in alcohol, or relying on his identity as a Maple Leaf Country and a cool face to pick up girls in Shanghai, and even cheating them into giving him free food and drinks.

His idea is simple, he just wants to become a top star one day so as to avoid being laughed at by his former teammates.

Compared with the pain of Yunfeng's artists, major shareholder Ma Yun is in a pretty good mood.

"As expected, human potential is forced out!"

Looking at the ever-increasing transaction data of Ele.me, he was quite satisfied.

Especially Wang Xing's algorithm, which takes advantage of the riders. In order to avoid being deducted money, every rider can only deliver faster and faster.

The faster you deliver, the shorter the time the system requires, and the greater the possibility that the rider will not be able to deliver on time.

If the delivery fails to be made on time, more delivery fees will be deducted from the rider, and the greater the profit.

The greater the profit, the higher the stock price will be after it goes public next year.

“Wang Xing is simply a genius!”

As for Cao Yu's advice not to exploit the riders, he had long forgotten it.

I'm not exploiting you, this is determined by the market. Anyway, being a rider is better than moving bricks at a construction site, right?
Even if your money is deducted, you still have an income of about 5,000 yuan a month. This is the blessing I give you, so just be happy.

If you don't do it, there are many people who want to do it.

The Kuaidi software will soon be linked to Zhifubao. After it is launched, it doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not, the number of Zhifubao customers will surely increase exponentially.

Moreover, the taxi industry allows tens of millions of drivers to make money for themselves, so its prospects are definitely greater.

With these platforms, when the company goes public next year, I can become a capital tycoon myself.

Although the entertainment company has some troubles for now, will these be considered troubles once we have money?
Ma Yun stood at the window, looking at the Ali Park, wanting to laugh a few times to relieve the depression that had been suppressed by Cao Yu and the penguin in recent years.

Just when Lao Ma was feeling somewhat complacent, in the early morning of September 1st, Meituan’s first batch of shared bicycles went online!
“Why are there so many bicycles for Meituan suddenly appearing?”

On the morning of September 1st, as soon as Ma Yun arrived at the company, she found many yellow bicycles with the Meituan logo parked at the entrance of the Ali Park.

"How is this going?"

At Ali, employees are generally not allowed to use Meituan's products.

Now there are so many Meituan bicycles in front of my company. Isn’t this a slap in the face?
What’s more, it is written on these bicycles: Just scan with WeChat and you can ride without paying a deposit.

Ma Yun was very angry and asked the secretary angrily: "Are the company's employees still using WeChat?"

Ali’s employees are only allowed to use DingTalk, and even their family members are required to use DingTalk. Who would have thought that so many people would still use WeChat?

The secretary was embarrassed for a while before saying, "Maybe it just came down."

Although I said this, I felt a little bit dissatisfied in my heart.

WeChat is now the largest chat software in the country. All my friends are using it. If you don’t let us use it, how can we communicate?

Fortunately, Ma Yun did not ask any further questions, but got out of the car and looked at the yellow cars quietly.

"No deposit required, isn't Cao Yu afraid that these bikes will be stolen, or ridden away without being returned?"

Ma Yun was wondering when an employee also came to work on a shared bike.

When the employee saw Ma Yun, he was startled at first and was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by the boss.

"Come here for a moment."

"Mr. Ma."

The employee had no choice but to walk up to Ma Yun and wait to be punished.

“Do you have WeChat?”

"Just got off."

"This shared bike really doesn't require a deposit? Can you just scan and ride it?"

"Yes, you can ride it after you have completed the real-name authentication."

"Won't it be lost?"

"The car seems to have a GPS installed, so it shouldn't be lost."

The employee answered carefully, fearing that his boss would blame him for using WeChat without permission.

"Go ahead."

Ma Yun just waved her hand and asked the employee to leave. Then she said to herself, "Is this to promote WeChat real-name registration? And to increase Meituan's influence at the same time?"

Suddenly, he looked at these little yellow cars with a look of shock.

"It seems that in addition to the above two points, this small yellow car can also increase Meituan's stock price, make everyone develop consumption habits, and suppress Ele.me!"

Ma Yun really couldn't figure out what was going on with Cao Yu's head.

These tiny bicycles are so powerful!

If it is really promoted nationwide, all the efforts I have made during this period might be wasted!
