Entertainment Reborn Rhapsody

Chapter 161 Chapter 160: Shares
Shanhe's new book triggered a sales boom as expected on the first day it was put on the shelves.

Following the reading of the first batch of readers, post-reading reviews of "Under the Zhengyang Gate" began to be published in newspapers and online.

"The history books of a generation!"

"People turn antiques from rags into treasures, and antiques turn people's hearts from treasures into rags!"

"Under the majestic Zhengyang Gate, the world has changed in 20 years!"

"In the transformation of the great era, everyone is the protagonist, and everyone is like an ant!"

...

Professional literary journals also gave book reviews.

"Most people in this era have traveled through wind and rain. Shanhe reproduces the not-too-distant past with plain words and moving brushstrokes. He seems to remind us that greater changes are coming!"

"The whole novel is narrated in a straightforward manner, without flashbacks or leaps. It is precisely this kind of journal-like narrative technique that makes the author feel real. Everything is happening around everyone..."

"I seem to have seen another "Ordinary World". The only difference is that one is about the countryside and the other is about the city..."

...

Qu Ling looked at the newspapers and magazines in front of him. Most of them had positive reactions, and there were also criticisms, but they were harmless. There were no accidents with Shanhe's new book!
Qu Ling let out a sigh of relief. This is Shanhe's sixth work. From the beginning to the end, the whole story spans more than 20 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an epic of a generation. The market's reaction is still unknown. The media and cultural The reaction in the circle did not collapse, and Shanhe's strides were fairly steady!
"Under the Zhengyang Gate" sold nearly 36 copies in the first week, and 11 copies have been sold in Beijing alone.

Shanhe ranks first in the airborne weekly sales list when the book market is still strong.

Across the Pacific, Disney Pictures' "Parasite" will premiere the day after Christmas.

As the chief producer, Bruckheimer is busy arranging publicity matters.

"Parasite" is a movie adapted from the original novel. The novel has a great influence in North America, so the original novel accounts for a large proportion in the film's promotion.

Shanhe, the original author, has become a top priority, but Shanhe has not yet reached Hollywood, and many promotional projects about him cannot be implemented, which makes the entire Disney promotion team very anxious.

Bruckheimer was particularly anxious about Shanhe Quling's itinerary, calling Quling almost every day to urge him!
On this day, he called Qu Ling again anxiously.

"Qu, do you and Qiu want me to suffer from anxiety syndrome! There are more than ten days before the release of "Parasite", when do you and Qiu plan to go to Hollywood, Qiu is the center of the publicity, he can't be absent !"

"Jerry, Qiu's new book has just been released, and we have a lot of business in Huaguo, how about this, I will discuss it with Qiu and try to arrive in Hollywood on the [-]th."

"OK, on ​​the [-]th, I will arrange your itinerary now. Qu, "Parasite" will not disappoint you, it will bring us great honor and profits."

"Jerry, of course we believe in you and Disney."

"Yu's schedule in Hollywood will be very busy, you have to be prepared!"

"Understood, we will cooperate with Disney Pictures' promotional plan, after all, we also have share."

"Then see you next week!"

"See you next week!"

After Bruckheimer and Qu Ling confirmed their itinerary, they immediately asked their assistants to make appointments with newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Shanhe's trip to Hollywood will be fully booked!

At this time, Shanhe doesn't have time to think about a trip to Hollywood.

Ma Huateng arrived in the capital today, and the two made an appointment to meet tonight. The change of equity requires a face-to-face communication between the two.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the two met at a Sichuan restaurant next to Zizhuyuan.

As soon as Shanhe got out of the car, he saw Ma Huateng standing at the entrance of the hotel. He was almost the same as he was a year ago, except that he had more faint momentum.

Shanhe walked over to him, "Old Ma, you came earlier than me, just wait in the private room, you are still here to welcome me, how polite you are!"

"Haha, Shanhe, do you know why I still find a Sichuan restaurant to meet? I really miss the spicy meal back then!" Ma Huateng stretched out his right hand to hold Shanhe's hand and smiled.

"Then let's have a good time today!"

While talking, the two entered the private room.

After each took their seats, Ma Huateng asked, "Drink some in the evening? You are a college student now, so you should drink some!"

Shan He smiled and nodded, "No problem, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you and serve you liquor today!"

Ma Huateng called the waiter and ordered a bottle of Wuliangye, "How about this?"

"I have no requirements for wine!"

After a while, all the food and drinks were served. Ma Huateng dismissed the waiter and raised his glass to Shanhe, "Shanhe, I haven't seen you for almost two years. To be honest, the original meeting is still vivid in my memory. Tencent can have what it is today, thanks to your contribution." No way! Let's drink this cup first!"

"Okay, it's done!" Shan He gulped it down.

Putting down the thumb cup, Shanhe said to Ma Huateng: "Lao Ma, I'm still the same as before. Just tell me, what is your plan for the second round of financing?"

Ma Huateng filled Shanhe with wine, "Let's eat vegetables first, and fill our stomachs, Shanhe, let's talk slowly!"

The two were not polite, and after a while, Ma Huateng's forehead was sweating, "I can eat spicy food now than before. I later learned that Dongguang also has Hakka food, but I can't taste the taste like yours!"

"This is not easy. My mother is in the capital. She wants to make a phone call."

"I want to go. I don't have the time, and I don't have a suitable opportunity. I will definitely visit Lingtang next time."

After the two had another drink, Ma Huateng got to the point, "Shanhe, I really didn't expect QQ to develop so fast. The money was burning too fast. We had to conduct a second round. You know the Internet Winter is still going on, and we can't find a way to make a profit for the time being. It's hard to find investors. I've looked for all the major domestic portals, but no one is paying attention to me! Is there any investment intention in this South African media group this time? , we can’t miss it!”

Shanhe took the wine bottle from Ma Huateng and filled his glass, "What are the requirements of this South African company?"

"At a valuation of $6000 million, they need at least 20.00% of Wu's equity! We also need this money to continue to expand!"

"What do you want me to do?" Shan He looked directly at Ma Huateng and asked.

"I want to guarantee the company's management and decision-making power, and Tencent's internal equity must account for more than half!" Ma Huateng replied.

Shanhe smiled and clinked glasses with Ma Huateng, and drank the glass dry, "Old Ma, you take it for granted! This is only the second round. Will Tencent not go public in the future? You can always guarantee Tencent's internal shareholdings." Most, to put it bluntly, in my opinion, apart from your personal shares, Tencent's internal equity is the most difficult part for you to control!"

After listening to Shanhe's words, Ma Huateng fell into deep thought.

After a cup of tea, Ma Huateng came back to his senses, "Shanhe, what you said is a bit sobering!"

"Haha!" Shan He laughed, "Old Ma, have you read my new book?"

"I haven't had time, I've been so busy recently, I don't have time to read it!"

Shanhe shook his head and smiled, "What I say in my new book is that people's hearts are fickle! I or the South African company's investment in Tencent is based on potential and returns. We are not interested in Tencent's operation, but who do you think will be interested in Tencent's investment?" Are you interested in power? Ma, I dare to bet you that after ten years, the vast majority of your company’s internal equity will be in your hands, and it will not account for a large proportion of the total equity!”

Ma Huateng looked at Shanhe thoughtfully, "Shanhe, you have changed so much. I haven't thought about these words before, but they make sense!"

Shanhe pointed at Ma Huateng's unfilled wine glass, watched him drink up the wine, and said with a smile: "I have grown up, Old Ma. In fact, we all know that Tencent will continue to raise funds, and your ideas are not realistic." !”

Ma Huateng held the wine glass and kept grinding, "Shanhe, you have prepared well this time, I am about to be convinced by you!"

"Lao Ma, I'm not trying to convince you. To be honest, if you insist on me giving up part of my equity, I can accept it. After all, my return is enough!"

Shanhe picked up the wine bottle and filled Ma Huateng's glass again, "You know my experience very well, Ma. You should also know me well, and even my family. I think the equity is in my hands, and for Tencent , which is most beneficial to your old horse."

Ma Huateng looked at the wine glass and fell into thought again.

Shanhe looked at Ma Huateng who was thinking. Shanhe did not have Tencent's equity distribution data in his memory, but he had listened to the video of Lao Ma's speech, and he still had some general impressions.

After a long time, Ma Huateng raised his wine glass to Shanhe, "I will carefully consider what you say, come on, do another one!"

Shanhe also raised his glass, "Old Ma, Tencent needs your helm, and I will always support you. What you said more than a year ago is very good, and we will go to the end!"

After that, neither of them mentioned the topic of equity anymore, but only chatted about Shanhe's Olympic bid experience and the situation of the new book.

When the two of them walked out of the Sichuan restaurant, they were both a little drunk. Assistant Ma Huateng, who was waiting at the door, helped them into the car and drove towards Shanhe's house in Zizhuyuan.

Shanhe got off the car at the gate of the community. Ma Huateng stuck his head out of the back seat and said to Shanhe, "I will read your new book. I want to see how you write about the fickleness of people's hearts!"

"Ha ha…"

As soon as Xie Meiyu opened the door, she saw her son leaning against the wall with a red face and smelling of alcohol. She quickly helped her son into the living room and complained: "Why did Xiaoma let you drink so much wine? Really!"

Shan He sat down on the sofa, "Mom, I'm fine, I didn't drink much, I had a good chat with him, don't worry!"

Xie Meiyu poured a glass of warm water for Shanhe, looked at her son carefully, and after confirming that he hadn't drunk it, he asked, "Xiaohe, how did you decide on the stock rights? .”

Shanhe drank the water in one gulp, and responded to his mother: "Mom, Shigong means that peace is the most important thing. I know what he means, but I have to keep the shares of Tencent as much as possible. Lao Ma is basically convinced by me. In our hands, it is in his best interest, he will understand!"

"Okay! You have grown up too, these are all your ideas, and the equity will be transferred to your name at that time, we don't understand these nonsense!" Xie Meiyu said, looking at her son in relief.

Shanhe went to his mother and put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Mom, you and Aunt Qu are about to turn Chuhe into a group company, a strong business woman! I don't want to worry about those things, you should train Xixi to be a successor." people!"

"You stink of alcohol, you can't drink like this in the future." Xie Meiyu pushed her son away in disgust, "I can't count on your sister for being heartless and heartless!"

"My sister is not stupid, she is better than me at observing words and demeanor, and she knows how to find benefits for herself. I think she has inherited your shrewdness!"

"It's true, this girl's faults have turned into advantages for you. You and your father know how to spoil her. I don't think she will suffer at all. Sooner or later she will be taught a lesson!" Xie Meiyu was not at ease with her daughter.

"Mom, in two days, Aunt Qu and I will have to go to Country M. Are you going to go back to the Magic City or continue to stay in the capital?" Shanhe asked his mother.

"You are not in the capital, why am I still here? Your Aunt Qu has gone to Hollywood, and I have to go back to the Magic City Company. This time when you go to Hollywood, don't make any more trouble. I don't want a foreigner. Be a daughter-in-law!”

"mom!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I still know how to be shy!"
