Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Under the guidance of the service staff, Tang Nanpeng walked into the tea room he had arranged long ago.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Nanpeng began to look around the tea room. The light was orange, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling, unlike the white light, which was too bright and would make the people talking see each other too clearly.

There was incense in the room. Tang Nanpeng sniffed it and found it was the smell of sandalwood, and it was exactly the sandalwood from the old mountain in India that he had requested, so he nodded with satisfaction.

The aroma of the old mountain sandalwood is naturally mellow, soft and not pungent. Being in such a light fragrance, people will unconsciously feel the inner calmness and peace.

The tea is the top-grade Bamboo Leaf Green tea picked from the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain. You should know that Bamboo Leaf Green tea is made from tea buds picked before the Qingming Festival. The small jar of top-grade Bamboo Leaf Green tea in front of Tang Nanpeng is the best of these tender buds. It is said that only such a small jar can be picked out from five million tea buds. If it is put on the market, such a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green tea will cost six figures, and it is still out of stock.

However, this tea is indeed worthy of its expensive price.

Tang Nanpeng opened the lid of the tea jar and saw the tea leaves inside. The color is emerald green, and the shape and size of each tea bud are very similar. Just by looking at it, you can know that this is a rare good tea.

After covering the tea lid, Tang Nanpeng checked the chairs and several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, including Zhao Mengfu's "Autumn Scenery of Quehua". Of course, the one hanging now is just a copy, and the original is on display in the museum in Taiwan.

There are also Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription" and "Lingfei Jing" which is said to be written by Zhong Shaojing, etc., which are all modern calligraphy works imitating ancient masters. Moreover, these calligraphy works are not simple imitations, but all works of some famous modern calligraphers.

Then Tang Nanpeng personally checked every little detail in the tea room. After confirming that it was correct, he looked at his watch again. There was still half an hour before the agreed time.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the already decorated tea room, Tang Nanpeng's thoughts began to drift away, and his mind recalled every bit about Nie Wei.

Although Tang Nanpeng had heard a lot about Nie Wei's achievements in the entertainment industry, he never took the initiative to understand. He was more interested in Nie Wei's achievements in the investment circle.

At first, he was interested in Nie Wei because after iFlytek was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it was revealed that Nie Wei was one of its major shareholders.

The most important thing is that Nie Wei's story of taking shares in iFlytek also feels legendary.

In this story, some people think that Nie Wei is lucky, but Tang Nanpeng doesn't think so. From that time on, he thought that Nie Wei's investment vision was extraordinary and he could see many things that ordinary investors could not see.

You should know that when Nie Wei acquired the shares of iFlytek, although iFlytek was already the largest communication software company in China, the whole world was advocating the Internet bubble at that time, and iFlytek had not found a stable revenue point at that time, otherwise the second young master would not easily sell his shares.

But Nie Wei was willing to pay hundreds of millions of funds to take 20% of iFlytek's shares from the second young master in that situation. You should know that Nie Wei at that time was not like the rich man who has become one of the few rich people in China today. If the investment of hundreds of millions failed, it would definitely be a major blow to Nie Wei's career.

Of course, judging from the results, Nie Wei was a great success. The hundreds of millions at the beginning have now become tens of billions, and are still increasing in value. One investment, a hundredfold return, Nie Wei's investment this time has become a classic case in the circle, and at the same time, it has also put the second young master on the loser's seat. Even after a few years, when someone mentions this matter, they will still laugh at his stupidity and short-sightedness.

Tang Nanpeng did not laugh at the second young master. In fact, he did not lose money on this investment, but earned five times the profit. In the investment circle, this is already a very good return. Of course, compared with the profits he missed, it shows that he is short-sighted, thus setting off Nie Wei.

However, Tang Nanpeng sometimes thinks back, if it were him, would he have the vision and courage of Nie Wei?

He thought about it many times and imagined many situations, but the answer in the end was impossible. Nie Wei's investment was too weird. He always took a different approach, thinking what others dared not think and doing what others dared not do.

Just like Apple, who would have thought that this niche technology company would really develop a cross-era mobile phone, and what surprised him the most was Nie Wei, who actually invested a large amount of money in this company when the company was in turmoil and could go bankrupt at any time three years ago.

The return is naturally surprising, but this method is very taboo in the circle.

After all, no one dares to guarantee whether those companies with declining trends will be able to bottom out and rebound in the end, because data shows that most of these companies actually fall directly to the bottom of the valley and die, but Nie Wei seems to love such companies very much. The key is that his vision is extremely accurate, and he can always find those companies that can rebound or even soar to the sky. This also makes many people in the circle admire this young man who is only 24 years old.

Everyone feels that with Nie Wei's current keen investment vision, coupled with the accumulated investment experience, in another ten years, it may not be impossible for his investment company to become one of the top ten in the world under his guidance.

And the person he is waiting for now is Nie Wei, but not because Huayi is going to go public.

Although the Qingshan Group behind him has also invested in Huayi, he himself is not very interested in it. In Tang Nanpeng's view, judging from the development of the Chinese entertainment industry, it is very difficult to surpass Hollywood, at least in the next ten years.

Although Huayi is very strong in China, it has not been able to produce any outstanding results abroad. If Huayi wants to go international, even with a genius like Nie Wei leading it, it will take at least five years to gain a foothold. This is still the best case scenario he estimates.

Compared with this long-term investment, he is actually more optimistic about Qingshan Group's investment in another project under Nie Wei, that is, blogs, no, now it should be renamed Weibo.

Just a week ago, domestic blogs underwent a very major update. The update only had one content, which was to add a new communication platform on the basis of the original blogs, called the Fanxing Weibo Platform.

In China, this feature has just been updated and users are still trying it out, but in fact, this feature was updated in the overseas version of Fanxing Blog a year ago. On the third day after the launch of Apple smartphones, the launch of Weibo set off an explosion in overseas social platforms.

After a year of development, Fanxing Weibo has ranked third among North American social platforms. Although there is still a big gap with the top two, it is obviously very difficult for a social platform with foreign capital to develop to this point.

What's more, Fanxing Weibo is the first choice of netizens for social platforms in many Asian countries, especially it has the world's largest online social market in China, which is the company that Tang Nanpeng is most optimistic about.

Now, this company is finally going to go public, and Tang Nanpeng hopes to get a big piece of the cake in the next round of financing of Fanxing Blog Company.

So today he didn't attend the investor dinner organized by Huayi Company at all, but made an appointment with Nie Wei on purpose, wanting to have a private chat with Nie Wei.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and Nie Wei finally came to the tea room.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I kept you waiting for so long." After entering the room, Nie Wei smiled and greeted Tang Nanpeng politely, making Tang Nanpeng feel like he was bathed in spring breeze, especially the natural and friendly smile on Nie Wei's face. It was hard to tell that they had only met for the second time today, and the last time was at the negotiation table.

"No, it's my invitation this time that was too sudden." Tang Nanpeng put away his thoughts and asked the tea maker beside him to make tea for the two of them.

"Is it the top-grade Bamboo Leaf Green just picked this year? Mr. Tang is thoughtful." When the tea maker took out the tea leaves, Nie Wei couldn't help but feel his eyes brightened. The full appearance and emerald green color of the tea leaves made Nie Wei immediately see the origin of this tea.

As for the last sentence of thoughtful, it was because Bamboo Leaf Green was Nie Wei's favorite tea. It was obvious that Tang Nanpeng had done some research before choosing to drink this kind of tea here. After all, it was easier to talk about things if you cater to his preferences.

Nie Wei could guess somewhat about Tang Nanpeng's purpose. Qingshan Capital Investment Group wanted to take a larger proportion in the last round of financing.

Nie Wei's attitude towards this was actually noncommittal.

Because the shares he took out in this round of financing accounted for about 5% of the company, and the value was estimated to be between 5 billion and 6 billion.

Because in the previous rounds of financing, four companies were eligible to take a part of the equity, including Qingshan Capital.

According to the previous agreement, Qingshan Capital could continue to follow up and invest, taking about 1% of the shares, and the other three were similar. The 4% of the shares had been divided equally by the four investment companies, and the remaining 1% of the shares was the key to the competition among the four companies.

They all knew that as long as Fanxing Blog went public, it would definitely make money, and it would make a lot of money.

So this 1% may not seem like much, but it is very likely that after going public, the return will turn from the current 1 billion to 10 billion.

No one was willing to give up this benefit, but this part of the equity could only depend on Nie Wei's intention.

Nie Wei now has two choices. One is to sell this part of the shares to the other investment companies that are eyeing it covetously except for these four investment companies. It can be said that Nie Wei's shares are not lacking in sales. As long as he reveals a little bit of his intention, countless investment companies will be willing to wave their checks and buy this part of the shares happily.

The other is to continue to sell this 1% to these four companies. As for how to sell it and to whom, this is what Tang Nanpeng wants to fight for today.

His goal is to at least take 0.5% of the shares. If he can take all of them, it will naturally be better.

"Emei has many medicinal herbs, and the tea is especially good, which is different from the world." Tang Nanpeng replied with a smile.

"Mr. Tang asked me to come here today. It's not really just to drink tea and appreciate calligraphy and paintings, right?" After drinking a sip of tea, Nie Wei put down the teacup and asked with a smile.

Tang Nanpeng naturally answered no. He didn't want to hide his idea of ​​wanting to take more shares of Fanxing Blog.

"Mr. Nie, we, Qingshan Capital, are one of the largest venture capital firms in the United States. We have extraordinary connections in the U.S. financial circle, and we also have countless experiences in listing excellent companies. Most importantly, we are sincere and optimistic about your Fanxing Blog, and we are willing to make more efforts for the future development of this company."

Nie Wei listened to Tang Nanpeng silently, nodding from time to time, but he didn't say anything from beginning to end.

Tang Nanpeng said a lot, probably for about twenty minutes, but apart from those tempting and confusing speeches, there are only a few points.

First, Qingshan Capital behind him is very powerful.

Second, Qingshan Capital behind him has good experience in operating companies listed, and they also attach great importance to investing in Huaxia companies.

Of course, Tang Nanpeng also implicitly expressed that if Nie Wei wanted their company to continue to follow up on financing, they would give Nie Wei some help in the future board of directors of the company.

These conditions sounded just like that to Nie Wei. In fact, before coming to Mingzhu, Nie Wei had already met another very strong investment company in Kyoto, which was no worse than Qingshan Investment, and the conditions offered by the other party were almost the same as Tang Nanpeng's.

Nie Wei had some ideas in his heart about how to deal with this 1% or so of shares.

He did not want to sell these shares to any of the four major investment companies that currently invested in Fanxing Blog. Instead, he planned to split the 1% of shares into many parts and then sell them to more investment companies to add a group of small shareholders with little influence to Fanxing Blog.

This would not only bring Fanxing Podcast Company a considerable amount of working capital to promote the newly launched Weibo function, but also provide greater financial support for the technology of the new blog function. You should know that Fanxing Blog is no longer a simple social networking platform. It is a multi-functional social platform, including dating, games, movies, music, etc.

These new elements have added stronger competitiveness to Fanxing Blog, and in order to maintain such competitiveness, more investment is naturally needed.

In other words, if this 1% of shares is given to the four major investment companies, no matter how it is distributed, it is better for Nie Wei to give it to those small investment companies. For these large investment companies, every additional share is a threat to Nie Wei. In comparison, those small investment companies are unlikely to cause any trouble to Nie Wei.
