When he first stepped into the video store, Li Xianzhe was very uncomfortable with the quiet atmosphere inside.

First, there were no fans queuing up to buy the album as he imagined, and second, there were very few people here.

The only two clerks were lazily cleaning the dust on the shelves with feather dusters, and the other one was lying on his stomach playing with his mobile phone.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"Huh?"

His ears twitched slightly, and Li Xianzhe didn't expect that he would actually hear his hometown dialect.

But when he thought that this was an industry run by his father's M country branch, he had no doubts. Li Xianzhe slowly took out his mobile phone. He had just come out of the army and he hadn't had time to change into the latest model.

The weird look in the clerk's eyes made Li Xianzhe blush a little. At least in this era, not many people are still using G phones, and they are still sliders.

After fiddling with it for a while, Li Xianzhe put the phone in front of the clerk, coughed lightly and asked, "Hello, maybe, do you have their album?"

The broken mobile phone screen still couldn't stop the beauty of the six girls. For Li Xianzhe, because he didn't pay much attention to this circle, some of the situations he knew in that circle were still stuck seven or eight years ago.

However, the only spiritual food he had in the army was them.

"Hehehe..."

Walking out of the video store, Li Xianzhe held the only one in stock in the store against his forehead and smiled stupidly. He looked like an overeating fan. No one noticed when he looked around.

Kissing it gently.

"It came out in July, so it's not too late. I can buy their album in country M. It seems I'm lucky."

"Secret Garden" is a star group that Lee Hyun-cheol fell in love with in the army. The album was released in July this year. The title song "NONONO" made him in the army play the single on a loop every night, even though the group around him

The soldiers didn't understand either.

Unfortunately, by now, the singing and promotion activities have long ended.

It's just that he, who entered the industry late, didn't know about the album's release in July at first.

It was a vacation approved by the army by chance. At that time, he was still wearing a military uniform and carrying a package. He had a short hair and was in an Internet cafe. He was working hard with the clerk of the Internet cafe for some expensive Internet fees. It was also at that time that he became

I really feel that I have fallen behind.

For example, the Internet fee at that time was twice as high as before he joined the army. For example, the album had been released three months ago. Only then did he realize that when he came out of the Internet cafe and was full of anger, he happened to pass by a drink shop.

Attracted by the melody of the song, he finally shamelessly went in and asked, "What is this song called and who sang it?"

"Why is she so beautiful? I wish she were my girlfriend." She wrapped the album with some reluctance, put it carefully into her bag and muttered, "Well, it's time to go up and take a look."

Li Xianzhe didn't know that if his father and brother saw him like this, their eyes might fall to the ground in surprise.

Generally speaking, the industry that Li Xianzhe's father is engaged in is somewhat related to the album he just bought. Even his brother, between 2011 and 2001, began to enter his father's company as a lyricist.

Active.

He is the only one who has no "interest" at all in his father's career. His biggest hobby is to make money! He uses the New Year's money his father gave him when he was a child and relies on the professional knowledge he has learned from his father since childhood.

He hired a dedicated team to help him invest since 2006. A few years later, he is now considered a small rich man in country M, but in his hometown...

"Second Young Master, welcome back. If the director knows, he will be very happy."

When he first entered the company, a middle-aged man walked up to Li Xianzhe and hugged him gently. During Li Xianzhe's enlistment, this man had been responsible for the communication between him and the two management teams.

"Uncle, please don't call me Second Young Master."

Li Xianzhe waved his hand. Calculated, his family background was pretty good, but it had nothing to do with those truly wealthy families.

"Okay, Second Young Master, it just so happens that you have retired, so I can just report the results of the past two years to you."

"OK."

In a certain conference room, Li Xianzhe quietly looked through the documents spread out on the table. In the business circle, the principle he believed in was actually very simple: "Money comes first." This seemed to be inherited from his father.

"At the beginning of 2001, when you were enlisting in the army, I used the money you earned from short selling and foreign exchange speculation during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis to acquire shares in the following companies for you, of which I had complete control.

There are not many of these companies in terms of status, but it is more than enough to get you into the board of directors."

While listening to the uncle's report, Li Xianzhe believed that as long as a person has money, even if it is a state-controlled industry in this world, it is impossible to acquire it, but it is possible to serve himself for a period of time.

Of course, the premise depends on which country and which industry. If a rich man wants to buy an island in a certain country, he can really become the owner of the island permanently by spending a little money.

"However, I am a little curious. I remember that a long time ago, Director Li wanted you to join the company to help him manage the company. Moreover, you are also very talented in music. Even Teacher Yu often praised you.

Why did you suddenly find me wanting to acquire these companies before you joined the army?"

The uncle was very curious. Li Xianzhe was notoriously uninterested in that circle in the eyes of people around him. He only browsed the Internet to read current political news and some "unfathomable" wave charts in the eyes of others. Although there were some

He helped some artists in his father's company write many hit songs several times, but the reason was also very straightforward: to make money.

Then use the money earned to invest in industries in various fields. The more you invest, the more benefits you will get back as long as the operations are good.

"Because I know that there is money to be made in this industry, and my father's company is a good example.

It's just that it's not that I'm not interested in joining his company. You know better than me that his company background is too deep and the members of the board of directors are intertwined with factions, so I found this reason.

Is there anything that can make me feel more at ease than acquiring it myself and becoming its owner?"

Li Xianzhe sighed when he thought about the past. When he joined the army a year ago, he had more than 2 to 3 billion in funds that he could move during the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009.

The money he has invested in U.S. dollars so far is still doubling under the management of professional teams at Citibank and Wall Street.

These two teams even helped him invest and acquire some industries that he didn't know about. In other words, Li Xianzhe himself didn't know exactly which industries he owned and how much money he had.

The rest includes the money he earned from speculating in real estate in country M and his hometown when he was young in his father's name, which doubled in value every other year. There is also the money he made from investing in NBA teams and World Cup games in his name.

And the money made by the Manchester United club.

Of course, Li Xianzhe also has another biggest trump card, which is that during the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis, he met a person while studying in the United States. This person wrote a paper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and published it online. At that time, everyone was

I think he is crazy.

With the financial support of Li Xianzhe, the two teamed up to create a new set of electronic currencies, also known as Bits. After becoming famous, the two masterminds quickly disappeared.

"CCM is a declining company that costs more than 10 million US dollars and more than 10 million RMB to get it done. If the fans of that group know about it, they can buy it with a little money. (There is a Queen who won the prize on Weibo.)

Ten million in 14 years is enough).

DSP is a US$700,000 company, which is a bit older in terms of background and establishment time, but the price is still reasonable, but the company no longer has any valuable traffic.

Next, Jellyfish, Starship, and five or six other companies are completely under control, including the other two companies except my father's company. They only have a few percent of the shares. Forget it, just get on the board of directors."

Squinting his eyes, Li Xianzhe made a rough calculation. It cost less than 2 billion US dollars to acquire the shares of these companies and the internal artist contracts. Both the artists and the companies there are notoriously cheap, at least.

In the eyes of rich people.

Think about it in 2014, a few companies only spent hundreds of millions of RMB to acquire several big companies there. In 2011, YG's market value was more than 100 billion H coins, which was only a little bit in US dollars and RMB.

.

The two major companies plus my father's company together only amount to this price.

"Thank you for your hard work these years, uncle."

After sorting out the messy information on the table, Li Xianzhe couldn't help but stretch himself. He felt at ease with nothing to do. Except for Li Xianzhe relying on memories and knowledge that no one else had in his head, everything else was paid for by him and contributed by others.

"It's okay. I've been in this industry for so many years, but I haven't been so comfortable working in the past few years. By the way, Director Li is going to give a speech at a place tomorrow. I heard that your brother will also come there. Are you interested in going and taking a look?"

"where?"
