China Entertainment 1997

2018 "Double Twelve", Shenzhen Stadium

Penguin's 20th anniversary annual meeting was held here. The capacity was about a few thousand people, including family members, so it was quite a large gathering.

Because this year is quite special, the annual meeting lasted for several days, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, and finally ended with today's performance party.

"I originally wanted to ask you to give a speech on stage, but you didn't come."

Brother Xiao Ma sounded regretful, but Cao Xuan didn't care: "I'm not in the company that much, so I don't know what to talk about when I get on stage."

"That makes you humble."

One of Penguin's entrepreneurial veterans smiled: "I don't know what happened later. We people still don't know how much contribution you made. Without you, Penguin wouldn't be where it is today."

"Yes, actually Mr. Cao should show his face. You are also part of Penguin history."

Although Penguin is now the largest Internet company in China and a well-known conglomerate in the world, Xiao Ma is one of the top business tycoons, and the other veterans are also industry tycoons and billionaires.

But they still respect Cao Xuan very much, not only because Cao Xuan has more wealth and status than them, but more importantly because of his contribution to Penguin.

Even Cao Xuan himself didn't know that he actually had a great influence on Penguin.

Needless to say, we invested the most critical financial support at the beginning of our business to help Penguin achieve profitability.

Later, he led the establishment of Penguin Blog and Weibo, and won the big cake of social platform for Penguin, which is still one of Penguin's major ecosystems.

In terms of games, Box Games also cooperated with Penguin, allowing Penguin to gain the greatest profit point and benefit endlessly.

QQ Star Music and Penguin Star Video ensure Penguin’s entertainment strategic sector.

Many strings of joint investments in other Internet companies have further expanded Penguin's territory...

Perhaps the latter part is the general trend. Even if Cao Xuan doesn't intervene, Penguin can do it, but Penguin's early advantage is indeed deeply affected by Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan himself doesn't feel this because he knows the development of Penguin's original time and space, but Xiao Ma and others don't know. In their eyes, several key breakthroughs in Penguin's early stage were all guided and supported by Cao Xuan.

Brother Xiao Ma and several veterans have praised Cao Xuan more than once during interviews or industry analysis meetings.

Because of this, Cao Xuan is considered by many Internet tycoons to have a keen and advanced strategic vision.

Mr. Lei, Brother Dong, Jack Ma and other business tycoons have all communicated with Cao Xuan privately, hoping to get some "truth" from the business wizard Boss Cao.

It can be said that at least one-third of Cao Xuan’s legendary filters in business were pioneered by Xiao Ma and others, while the rest are due to the aura of accumulation of amazing investments such as Stars Rising and Box Game.

It's not that Cao Xuan didn't explain it, but everyone regarded him as a humble, third-rate businessman who understood everything.

Even Mr. Wanda Wang and Sister Gree Dong, who have always set their sights on others, have expressed their admiration for Cao Xuan in public.

——"General Cao of Fanxing is the most humble and prudent person I have ever seen. This person does not take credit or be arrogant. He has many flaws in his heart but is humble in his dealings. His character and character make me feel inferior to him.

I often tell my son that if he can learn the essence of Mr. Cao’s three points, he will be successful in this life. "

——"Frankly speaking, Cao Xuan's business ability is not particularly strong, but he has two great advantages: he is good at handling people and has a very accurate vision.

Especially the accurate vision is definitely the first thing I have seen in my life. If he comes up with a project and says it is very promising and wants to invite me to cooperate, I will believe him without hesitation. "

There are even rumors that many employees in the investment and financial industry use Cao Xuan's posters as portraits of the God of Wealth, in order to get good luck or have more accurate vision.

Some big investors even joked that if Cao Xuan published an autobiography about music or film and television, the sales volume would be unimaginable, but if he published a business autobiography, sales volume could not be guaranteed, but no matter how expensive it was, people would buy it.

There is no me in Shanghai, but my legend is everywhere!

This sentence vividly illustrates Cao Xuan's status in the business field. It is no exaggeration to say that in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" released this year, replacing Buffett with Boss Cao does not violate the rules at all in the eyes of many people. and.

In fact, since this movie was produced by Fanxing, the director used a lot of Cao Xuan jokes.

For example, Wang Duoyu's hairstyle was changed into a classic look from Cao Xuan's concert.

A private concert for singers was also added to the movie. Wang Duoyu initially wanted to invite the biggest singers.

"If you want, just hire the most expensive one, Cao or something like that. Ask him how much the appearance fee is, and let him do it."

"People have retired."

"Retire? Ten million per game, ask him if he will retire? Ten million is not enough, twenty million, thirty million, this guy is not enough."

"Mr. Wang, I received a reply."

"What did you say? How much did it cost?"

"He thinks your inheritance is too small and makes you run away like crazy."

Later, the director felt that this segment was a bit abrupt in the main film, and affected the overall smoothness of Wang Duoyu's Money Clears the Road, so he changed it to an easter egg, and because of the actor Chang Yuan's appearance, he chose a certain Wang.

This is not the first time that Happy Twist has played with Cao Xuan's jokes. In the previous "Charlotte Troubles", it was Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou who were madly cut off by Charlotte.

When Xia Luo attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, she not only sang "Meet in 1998" with Wang Fei, but also sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" solo.

Xiao Zhou and Cao Xuan also personally participated in guest appearances in "Charlotte Troubles".

Xiao Zhou was beaten on the set of "The Voice of China". What's interesting is that because the copyright of the program and the film are produced by Fanxing, the venue and the big names are real.

Xiao Zhou happened to be the mentor of that season. He gave up his position as mentor to Shen Teng, changed his clothes and went on stage to perform.

Cao Xuan recorded a scene alone. It was probably during the rise of Charlotte. Cao Xuan, who was wearing cheap suits and handing out flyers on the street, looked at the big screen of Charlotte's billboard with envy.

By now, no matter how Cao Xuan quibbles and denies it, it is already recognized that he is one of the richest people in the world.

This is not only understood by people in China, but also by the whole world.

Japan considers Boss Cao to be "the real richest man in Asia", Americans claim that Cao Xuan is "China's Bill Gates", and some people keep up with the times and call Cao Xuan "China's Musk" or "China's Bezos" 】.

European media calls Cao Xuan the "richest star". Cao Xuan is very popular in South Korea, not only because of his achievements in the entertainment industry, but more importantly because he has become a "super chaebol" from scratch.

It is rumored that someone in South Korea once wanted to adapt a TV series "Entertainment Chaebol Tycoon" based on Cao Xuan, but it was later stopped due to various reasons.

For a moment, Cao Xuan understood Jack Ma's state of mind.

Wealth is like smoke, how can it be added to me!

Of course, this was only for a moment. When the tension subsided, he was still willing to immerse himself in the happiness of the rich...

………

Cao Xuan's position is in the chairman's seat in the middle of the first row, next to Brother Ma, which can also be regarded as the C seat in the audience.

He asked curiously: "I heard that Brother Ma has also prepared a show. Where is the program list? Let me take a look."

"You don't have to look, you'll know it in a moment."

Brother Xiaoma was mysterious, and Cao Xuan didn't care. Everyone present was his friends, so he was in a quite relaxed state. He was eating nut snacks on his seat, and from time to time he turned around to chat with a few other elders and reminisce about old times.

It is different from the annual meeting of Stars, and may be slightly smaller than Penguin in scale, but the performance lineup is definitely at the Spring Festival Gala level, and even the Spring Festival Gala may not be comparable to it.

Especially last year's 20th anniversary of Stars, which was really crowded with superstars and big names. Compared with it, the Spring Festival Gala pales in comparison.

At least two of the Four Heavenly Kings who could not easily be invited to the Spring Festival Gala came that day. Xiao Hei Fatty and Yu Jian were not able to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but they also came that day. The new comedy force Happy Twist sent out a ceiling lineup, and even the European and American A-listers also came. .

What's even more impressive is the number of business tycoons and celebrities present. Just a list is enough to make the outside world talk about it for a long time.

In comparison, Penguin’s 20th anniversary can even be said to be shabby.

However, the positioning and situation of the two parties are different. Fanxing Entertainment naturally has this condition and is interested in marketing and expanding its influence, so it organizes special events and invites guests and friends. Penguin is an Internet company that believes in low-key practices and prefers to celebrate within the company. .

If it weren't for Cao Xuan's special situation, many outsiders might not know about Penguin's 20th anniversary celebration.

Because of this, even though countless netizens petitioned, Penguin did not broadcast the annual meeting live, and the video arranged by the company was not intended to be released to the public. The outside world could only obtain information through various spoilers from on-site employees.
