The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The night before the fireworks were over, the lights went off.

8 o'clock in the evening.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The much-anticipated star night officially kicked off with loud and beautiful harmless fireworks!

In the huge First Stadium, there was a shout.

Led by Yun Jiujun, Huan Liuyun and others.

A group of contestants appeared on the stage in various cool ways.

Nothing else to say.

Just the screams in Lin Ming's ears made Lin Ming feel his head buzzing.

Many fans stood up like crazy, holding the LED light signs with words such as "Yun Jiujun", "Husband", "Huan Liuyun" in their hands, and kept waving them towards the stage, as if they were afraid that Yun Jiujun and others would not see them.

Lin Ming felt that these people were somewhat sick.

There are many ways to like someone, why do you have to be so hysterical?

However.

When he heard the familiar voice in his ear, this idea immediately changed.

"Yun Jiujun, come on! Yun Jiujun, come on! Yun Jiujun, come on! Yun Jiujun..."

Lin Ming looked at Chen Jia.

This woman was waving her arms like everyone else, her throat was almost torn.

"Understandable."

Lin Ming comforted himself in his heart: "After all, only in this way can the atmosphere of the whole stadium be mobilized!"

Not only Chen Jia.

Jiang Pingping and Jiang Qingyao were also shouting loudly.

Even Xiang Ze was sticking his butt out, pulling his throat, and spitting wildly.

Lin Ming could no longer hear what he was shouting.

In short, he had the urge to kick this guy down.

He looked around.

It seemed that in the entire stadium, there was only a special existence like himself who stood out from the crowd.

The big environment really affects a person.

Lin Ming resisted the urge to shout along.

He suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.

Following that feeling, he saw Pang Sheng, the CEO of Sparrow Media, sitting not far from him.

"A bosom friend!"

Lin Ming almost cried.

Pang Sheng also had a bitter smile on his face, and it was obvious that they had the same idea in their minds.

He was not the only one who stood out from the crowd.

Lin Ming raised his mobile phone from a distance and waved to Pang Sheng.

Pang Sheng quickly understood what Lin Ming meant.

After a while, he sent a message to Lin Ming via WeChat.

"Boss Lin, you are just a young man in his thirties after all. Why do you seem to be uncomfortable with this kind of occasion?"

Lin Ming smiled and said, "Maybe I am old."

"You are not reborn, are you?"

"Boss Pang likes to read online novels so much?"

"Haha!"

The two joked with each other.

Pang Sheng then said: "The Hong Kong stock market has closed now, and there is no sign of stock fluctuations. I wonder if what those rich ladies said before will come true."

"If we just rely on them, Sparrow Media's stock will not rise much."

Lin Ming replied: "Li Yunyao, Luo Qian and others can only play a leading role. They will make Sparrow Media's stock rise slightly. The ones who can really make Mr. Pang a lot of money are the thousands of shareholders."

"It's not just me who can make a lot of money, right?" Pang Sheng said.

"What if? After all, I have already spent 800 million on Sparrow Media before. Who knows if I can make it back?" Lin Ming said deliberately.

Pang Sheng didn't say much about this matter.

Before Sparrow Media went public, the total value of the company was only about 500 million.

According to this value, 20% of the shares only need 100 million.

But Lin Ming spent 800 million to buy this 20% of the shares!

Pang Sheng racked his brains to figure out why this happened, and finally thought that Lin Ming was a sucker.

If someone is willing to give him money, why shouldn't he take it?

However.

With Yun Jiujun's popularity, Pang Sheng slowly felt that Lin Ming's 800 million seemed to be worth it.

Based on Yun Jiujun's current traffic index, he will be shortlisted as a top artist immediately after the China Hot Songs Contest is over.

By then, he will receive a lot of endorsements, and the endorsement fee will skyrocket.

According to the contract signed between a normal company and an artist, Phoenix Entertainment can make a lot of money from Yun Jiujun.

Of course.

Even so, it will probably take some time for Lin Ming to earn back the 800 million.

In addition to the funds Lin Ming operated on Yun Jiujun, Pang Sheng still didn't understand what Lin Ming was thinking.

Unlike Pang Sheng.

No one knows what Lin Ming wants to do better than himself.

For any company, 20% of the shares are not small.

Although this is not absolute control, it is very likely to threaten absolute control in the future.

Pang Sheng knows this very well, so even if Lin Ming proposed 200 million, Pang Sheng would not agree.

In this case, it is better to make Pang Sheng "surrender" with an overwhelming price.

Anyway, Lin Ming knows that the money will be earned back soon.

…

While the two were chatting, many contestants had finished the opening song.

Next, the competition will be carried out in an elimination system.

The mentor selects the song, and the two contestants sing at the same time. In the end, the mentor will combine the contestants' singing and the public votes to decide who will go and who will stay.

This shows fairness and justice to a certain extent, and also gives the public the right to choose.

But in fact, the mentors are the ones who can really influence the "life and death" of these contestants.

Whether it is because of Yun Jiujun's current popularity or because of Phoenix Entertainment's operation behind the scenes.

Lin Ming knew that Yun Jiujun's victory was a foregone conclusion.

While enjoying Yun Jiujun's singing, he was also paying attention to other contestants.

For example, the majestic Huan Liuyun.

Another example is the beautiful, slightly hoarse, and highly recognizable 'Liu Ruoxi'.

These are the two contestants that Lin Ming is most optimistic about in China's popular songs, except for Yun Jiujun.

They will all become top-tier in the future and dominate the Chinese music scene forever.

Huan Liuyun has not joined any entertainment company yet, so it is not difficult to dig him to Phoenix Entertainment.

However, Liu Ruoxi seems to have signed a contract with a media company a long time ago, so it should not be as easy as imagined to dig her over.

"Stop shouting, kid!"

Lin Ming slapped Xiang Ze's butt hard.

Xiang Ze was completely immersed in the shouting, and had no intention of sitting down at all. He just turned around and looked at Lin Ming.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Ming pulled Xiang Ze back abruptly.

Then he asked, "Do you know Liu Ruoxi?"

"Fuck, you know all this?!"

Xiang Ze's eyes widened, and he explained, "It's not like we know each other. We've only met a few times, and we're not very familiar with each other."

Lin Ming had certainly predicted this, or he wouldn't have asked this.

He smiled and said, "Lingxi Biology is about to go bankrupt. Did you know about this?"

Xiang Ze paused.

"Brother Lin, what are you going to do now?"
