The world of film and television begins from childhood

"........."

In the Pancake Monster store, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao leaned on their heads and looked at the comments on the news. Almost 99% of them were compliments, but there were also some malicious comments posted randomly.

Because Xie Qiao did not go to work in a publishing house, he naturally would not go to Sichuan Province at this time to collect news, and would not be involved in this disaster.

Xie Qiao leaned back in his chair, his face full of shock.

"Zhou Chen is really famous now."

Qin Chuan also said with emotion: "Yes, if he debuts while taking advantage of the popularity, he will be a superstar."

Xie Qiao said angrily: "What superstar can compare to him? I always knew Zhou Chen was rich before, but I never thought he was so rich. You said he donated all this time If there are more than 3 billion, how much money does he have to have?"

Qin Chuan pondered: "I don't know about this, but if he can donate so much money, I guess his net worth must be at least one to two billion or more."

"Hey, Qin Chuan, how much money does the richest man in our country have?"

"I don't know how much money the richest man has, but what I'm sure of is that even if he has more money than Zhou Chen, he will never be able to donate so much money."

Qin Chuan sighed: "I thought our family owed eight million, which was already scary, but look at Zhou Chen. His donation amounted to several billion. Comparing one person to another is so irritating."

Xie Qiao said: "The key is that Zhou Chen is not only rich, but also patriotic and kind-hearted. If you look at the women on the Internet, they seem crazy and want to give birth to monkeys for Zhou Chen. Unfortunately, they don't know that Zhou Chen Chen is already married, and it is really worthwhile for Wang Ying to marry Zhou Chen in this life."

"Yes, I admit now that Zhou Chen is indeed a bit more handsome than me."

The Qin family, Qin Jianjun and his wife, Qin Qian and Tan Hui also saw the news on TV.

Qin Jianjun exclaimed: "I didn't expect that this boy from the old Zhou family would be so successful now. His donations are in the hundreds of millions. It's scary."

Qin Qian held her chin and said, "It's really scary. He was actually the same classmate as me when we were younger. Now that I think about it, it's really incredible."

Although Tan Hui didn't speak, his eyes were full of shock. He thought to himself that if he could live like Zhou Chen, his life would be really worth it.

Zhou Chen's news has always been high on the Internet. It was not until the start of the 08 Olympic Games that the popularity slowly declined.

In a prison somewhere in the capital, Wang Gui was called out and then informed that he had received a commutation of his sentence for a certain period of time, which surprised him very much.

Although the affairs of the Wang family came to an end due to the death of Wang Ying's father, Wang Gui could not escape and was locked up. He thought that this would be the case for his whole life, but he never expected that he could still get something without doing anything. Commutation of sentence.

It wasn't until he inquired that he realized that the reason for his reduced sentence was not because of how well he performed, but because something big happened some time ago. This made him understand that the reason why he could receive a reduced sentence was because of his niece-in-law. , which made him deeply moved and regretful at the same time.

Zhou Chen had mentioned to him the cutting of corners and materials in the project at the beginning, but he didn't take it seriously at all at that time. Who would have thought that this niece-in-law could see further than he did, and he also knew better than him the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

At this point, he was still in Zhou Chen's favor, and he was really in tears.

In October 2008, Zhou Chen, as the chairman of Chenxing Capital, announced that Chenxing Capital would conduct its first round of financing within the next two months.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and even caused a lot of commotion in the American business circle.

Zhou Chen is no longer a small person now. The previous donation event not only made him famous domestically, but also made him famous around the world. With a little investigation, you will know that Chen Xing is named after him. Capital is a veritable leader in venture capital with huge potential.

Especially when the international economic situation is not good, Chenxing Capital is one of the few companies that has not declined in the financial crisis, but has been developing upwards.

So after Zhou Chen announced his financing plan, countless business giants rushed to find him, wanting to spend money to participate in the financing.

In order to expand his momentum, Zhou Chen even found many institutions to value Chenxing Capital and spent a lot of money, causing the valuation of Chenxing Capital to skyrocket. The astonishing valuation discouraged many people, but it also made many more people hesitate. people want to get involved.

Chenxing Capital was originally Zhou Chen's sole proprietorship, but later allocated 5% of the original shares to some senior executives, so he had 95% of the shares. In this financing, he He directly took out 35% of the shares, while retaining 60% of the shares.

This is Chenxing Capital’s first financing.

In fact, Zhou Chen doesn't really want to take out so many shares at once, but he has no choice. The development of Chenxing Capital has been restricted recently. If he wants to break this deadlock, he must give up something. Only by taking out enough shares can he attract More capital predators will strengthen Chenxing Capital.

After two months, the first round of financing officially ended. In the end, Chenxing Capital raised funds at a valuation of US$102 billion. In fact, this number was also affected by the financial crisis. Otherwise, it could have been higher. However, Zhou Chen has already raised this number. Quite satisfied.

In the first round of financing, Zhou Chen introduced a total of five capitals, all of which were carefully selected by him. They were either consortiums with amazing financial resources, or they were influential and beneficial to the company's development.

Chenxing Capital has received so much financing funds at once, as well as support from many parties, which makes Chenxing Capital play a crucial role in the subsequent development plan.

Chapter 1282 Zhou Chen is on the list and the world is boiling

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve abroad is equivalent to New Year's Eve in China, so this day is naturally very festive and solemn.

In the Zhou family villa, the family gathered together for dinner today. There was an apple in front of everyone, which meant that everyone was safe.

"Yingying, I know you can't eat meat and fish right now, so today I specially asked Ma Chen to cook more vegetarian dishes, all of which you like to eat."

Tao Li put all the dishes in front of Wang Ying, with a very good attitude and a smile on her face.

Wang Ying said gratefully: "Grandma, you don't need to take special care of me. I eat less now. I can eat whatever I want. You can eat more."

Tao Li said with a smile: "You have to eat even if you eat less. You are the person in our family who has to pay most attention to nutrition now. You have to put yourself first in everything."

Zhou Guoxing nodded in agreement: "What your grandma said is, if you want to eat anything, just tell us and ask Ma Chen to buy it and make it."

Wang Ying was very touched by the concern of the two elders. When she was in love with Zhou Chen, the two elders were very kind to her. Ever since she and Zhou Chen received their marriage certificate, not to mention, they really regarded her as their own. Like a granddaughter.

And now, since she found out she was pregnant in the summer, it is even more serious. Now her treatment at home has surpassed Zhou Chen and has become the number one protected object. From food to daily necessities, everything Hold on to her.

Although she knew that this was the old man's care for her, she was really not used to it being like this all the time. She was used to being served by others, but that didn't mean that she was used to being served by her elders.

Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li were Zhou Chen's only two relatives. As her grandson's daughter-in-law, she just didn't go to serve them and asked them to serve her. She felt really bad.

But Tao Li doesn't care about this. In the eyes of the couple, Wang Ying, who is now pregnant, is the number one person in the family. She is as rare as a giant panda and must be taken care of.

You must know that the two of them have been looking forward to this child for too long. Although Zhou Chen is now their grandson, Zhou Chen did not come to them until he was thirteen years old after all, and he does not have the sense of satisfaction that he had when he was raised since childhood.

But the child in Wang Ying's belly is different. If it is born, it will be the child they have raised since childhood. The relationship is completely different.

Wang Ying cast a look at Zhou Chen asking for help, but Zhou Chen gave her a helpless expression, which made her teeth itch with anger.

Wang Ying is now more than four months pregnant. She has just graduated with a doctorate degree not long ago. Now she is raising a baby at home. For Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, the baby came at the right time. For Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li, it was just the right time. It's even more time.

After finally finishing dinner, Wang Ying was about to go back to the house, but Tao Li said that she would take her for two walks in the yard. Although Tao Li had no experience in giving birth, she had learned a lot recently and consulted a family doctor, so She has been particularly active with Wang Ying recently.

Sometimes even Zhou Guoxing couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say a few words, but was rebuffed, so he didn't dare to say more.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to say that, after all, only the pregnant person knows the situation best, and he is also a doctor. He knew that Tao Li's situation was a case of genuine concern and over-tension, just like the way adults treat children. Kind of, the concept of I'm doing it for your good is the same.

But before he could say anything, Wang Ying stopped him and forbade him from saying anything.

So, it seems that Tao Li, the grandmother, is taking care of Wang Ying, but in fact, Wang Ying is also doting on Tao Li, because she feels that Tao Li is really good to her, and she can't bear to let her go. Tao Li felt sad, so she obeyed.

The two of them were doting on each other like this, and Zhou Chen had no choice but to let them go. He knew that as long as the child was born, the situation would get much better.

She is more than four months pregnant, which is also a very critical time, so it is not easy for Zhou Chen to play meaningful games with Wang Ying at night. He must also pay attention to his movements when sleeping and not bump into each other.

Wang Ying leaned on Zhou Chen and smelled the scent of Zhou Chen. For some reason, after she found out that she was pregnant, many of her habits changed and she developed many strange problems.

For example, she didn't like the smell of gasoline before, but now she finds it pleasant. There is also the squirrel mandarin fish she used to like, but now she feels nauseated when she smells it. As for the kitchen, she can't even go there. , makes me want to vomit when I smell it.

She especially likes the smell of Zhou Chen's body now. She has to smell Zhou Chen's smell every night to sleep peacefully. She feels that after she became pregnant, the sensitivity of her nose suddenly increased several times.

Others would gain a lot of weight during pregnancy, but because of her poor appetite, she was pregnant for more than four months. Instead of gaining weight, she actually lost some weight.

Although Wang Ying is pregnant, she and Zhou Chen have not actually held a formal wedding yet.

This is of course not that Zhou Chen doesn’t want to do it, but Wang Ying’s mother said that Wang Ying’s father just passed away a year ago and is not suitable for a wedding. And the current situation of the Wang family means that not many people can even attend her daughter’s wedding, so Wang Ying considered it. After a long time, I finally decided not to have a wedding yet.

Neither Zhou Chen nor Zhou Guoxing cared much about this matter, and they understood the situation in Wang Ying's family.

Having lived abroad all year round, they are used to having children before marriage. There are many couples who have children without getting married or obtaining a certificate.

Now that Zhou Chen and Wang Ying have received their marriage certificate, they just didn't hold a big wedding. For them, the most important thing now is naturally their unborn great-grandson. Whether they hold a wedding or not doesn't matter much.

"Grandma went to buy a lot of baby clothes yesterday. It's only been more than four months, and she has bought more than 20 sets, including spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Speaking of this, Wang Ying felt helpless. In the past, Tao Li liked to take her to go shopping at famous brands, but now, everything is filled with baby products when she goes out.

Tao Li can really buy, no matter men's or women's clothing, she buys at least two sets at a time. In her words, no matter what the gender is, she must buy it to be prepared.

Zhou Chen also found it funny. He had been a father so many times, and he met very few elders like Tao Li. He was a little too excited and nervous.

"Let her go. She'll get used to it slowly. If you don't let her do something at this time, she may be more tormented, and grandpa will be tormented again."

Wang Ying also laughed. Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li were more than ten years apart, so they could be considered an old couple. However, in his later years, Zhou Guoxing was indeed controlled more strictly by Tao Li, and he completely lost the excitement he had in his youth. Brother's big brother style.

"Qian Xi will graduate next year. She told me that she plans to return to China with He Xiaozhou next year. Have you figured out how to arrange them?"

Zhou Chen said: "Well, the pharmaceutical factory in the capital is about to be built. It depends on Xiaozhou himself. If he wants, he can be the technical director there. But he told me that he wants to teach in a university. , it’s up to him to choose; as for Xiao Qianxi, the board of directors of Chenxing Capital has passed the plan to establish a branch of Chenxing Capital in China next year. Hasn’t she already switched to financial management? She can go to the branch’s financial department, just see Is she willing?"

"Chenxing Capital will enter China next year, so won't your focus of work next year shift to China?" Wang Ying asked curiously.

"Not necessarily. We just need to establish a branch first. The headquarters will still be here, but we will probably travel to the country a few times. We will talk about it then."

Although Chenxing Capital has introduced five-party capital and has a board of directors, there is still no doubt about Zhou Chen’s right to speak. After all, these parties invested in Chenxing Capital because of Zhou Chen’s ability. The valuation of Chenxing Capital has a huge impact. Some of them include Zhou Chen himself.

Without Zhou Chen, the valuation of Chenxing Capital’s initial financing would never have been that high.

The domestic economic situation is getting better and better, and Zhou Chen will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to enter the country. What's more, as a Chinese-American, and his previous donations, he has a great reputation in the country. Entering the domestic market, he will definitely enjoy great preferential treatment, which is very beneficial to his domestic layout.

"It's really unbelievable when I think about it. Before I met you, I thought I would never get married in my life. But who would have thought that now I'm not only married, but I also have children. In a few months, I'm actually going to get married. Mom, it’s really like a dream.”

Wang Ying's face was filled with a happy smile. Thinking about it, there have been so many changes in the past few years, which made her feel like she was in another world.

Zhou Chen hugged her, gently caressed her slightly bulging belly with one hand, and said softly: "This is not a dream, you are really going to be a mother, and I am going to be a father. We are a happy family now."

"Well, we are a happy family."

Wang Ying also put her hand on her belly to feel the baby in her belly.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, he seems to be moving. I feel it. He is really moving. Is this fetal movement?"

For a baby that is more than four months old, it is indeed time for fetal movement. Zhou Chen seems much calmer than the excited Wang Ying.

"You can feel it, so it shouldn't be wrong. It's not obvious now. When the months get older, it will be very obvious when he moves."

"It's really fun."

Looking at the happy and excited Wang Ying, Zhou Chen smiled meaningfully. It may seem fun now, but when you grow up, you won’t find it fun anymore.

Wang Ying's expression suddenly turned serious and she said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"It's my younger brother, my uncle's cousin. He is now in his third year of high school in China. But he used to go to an aristocratic school. After something happened at home, he couldn't stand the eyes of his classmates, so he transferred to an ordinary school. His His grades are average, and if he stays in China, his future is probably limited; so my aunt called me a few days ago and wanted to ask for our help to get Wang Xu to study here."

"Is he your uncle's son? No problem. I can arrange for him to go to a private high school here. After studying for one year, he can be admitted to college. If he can pass the exam, he will be the best. If he fails, I will pay him to go to a private school. University."

This is nothing to Zhou Chen, it's just a matter of spending some money at most. This is his wife's family, so of course he is willing to help.

Wang Ying hesitated and said: "What my aunt means is that she wants to come with Wang Xu. You don't know that my aunt has always been pampered. My uncle suddenly behaved like this and lost all his assets. She and Wang Xu are now living together." It’s very bad. They say they want Wang Xu to come here to study in college, but in fact they just want to come and join me.”

"My mother also told me about this. She didn't want me to do this, but my uncle used to take good care of me. Now that something happened to him, I really can't bear to leave them alone."

"I understand what you mean. It's actually not difficult to arrange them, but you also understand that if your aunt and brother don't adjust and come here just to rely on us, we don't lack the money, but are you really prepared? Have you been raising them?"

"Of course it's impossible. You just need to make arrangements for Wang Xu's school. As for their lives, I have my own arrangements. You don't need to worry about them, and I won't raise them to waste."

Wang Ying is very smart and understands what Zhou Chen means, and also understands why her mother does not want her to take over her aunt and her son, because she is afraid of dragging her down.

But she really couldn't bear it. In the past, her uncle always responded to her requests. When something happened, the first thing she thought of was not her father, but her uncle. So even for her uncle's sake, she couldn't really ignore her aunt and her husband. cousin.

Zhou Chen nodded. He knew that Wang Ying was a very capable person. She could definitely handle her aunt and cousin who couldn't live well.

This year's New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen still spent time with Wang Ying. The difference was that this time they had an unborn baby.

Wang Ying's aunt and cousin came to the United States after the Spring Festival. Zhou Chen and Wang Ying picked them up at the airport.

When they met for the first time, Zhou Chen didn't have a good impression of them because the Wang family had fallen into decline. However, this aunt turned out to be better. She still wore gold and silver and looked like a fashionable lady. When she met Zhou Chen, she was very enthusiastic. , Ah Chen Ah Chen kept shouting, praising him with all kinds of enthusiasm, which made Zhou Chen very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Wang Xu was a bit taciturn and seemed a little nervous when he saw Zhou Chen.

After picking them up, they went back to Zhou's house to have dinner together. As for the rest, Wang Ying arranged everything.

Zhou Chen later learned that Wang Ying had bought a three-bedroom house in her own name for her aunt and younger brother to live in. She had paid for Wang Xu's school fees and would only give Wang Xu a certain amount of living expenses every month.

As for her aunt, Wang Ying found her a relatively easy job in Chinatown. As long as she works hard, supporting herself will not be a problem.

Wang Ying said that her aunt had a fight with her over this matter. In the end, she was resolute and said that if she didn't agree, she would let her aunt go back. As for her brother Wang Xu, she would be responsible for taking care of her.

As soon as Wang Ying scared her, her aunt gave up. She went through all the trouble to come to the United States just to hope for Wang Ying's glory. How could she be willing to go back? After returning, she would not be able to survive for long with the only savings she had left. , she couldn't bear the cold looks from her former friends, so she could only "aggrievedly" promise Wang Ying that she would go to work on time.

Zhou Chen quite agrees with Wang Ying's arrangement. Although they can support Wang Xu's mother and son, they have no such obligation. It is very good to give her such conditions. If her aunt is not discerning, this door It doesn’t matter if your relatives don’t want it.

In March after the Spring Festival, the new issue of Forbes' list of the world's richest people was released. Once this list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

It's not because Bill Gates has returned to the top, nor is it because Buffett's net worth has shrunk significantly, but because an unexpected name has appeared on this list.

Zhou Chen, a Chinese-American, 26 years old, has a personal net worth of US$110 billion, ranking 30th on the world's richest list.
