Chapter 1216 Progress of the Studio City Project(1/2)
After the promotional activities in Guangzhou ended, Yang Ming did not leave Guangzhou immediately. Instead, his uncle asked him to stay for a dinner that night, saying that someone wanted to thank him.
He thought about it for a moment and realized that before going to North Korea and Japan, he had to go back to Yanjing. It would not delay his trip, so he agreed.
"Yi Yu, it's you! I thought it was you!"
Yang Ming came to the hotel box that Li Xingyi had reserved and saw the people inside, and couldn't help laughing.
acquaintance.
Li Xingyi was talking to a handsome young man.
Yang Ming also knew this young man. He was his cousin Li Yiyu who Li Xingyi brought to him for help during the Spring Festival.
"Yang Ming, hello!" Li Yiyu saw Yang Ming walking in and stood up rather cautiously.
To be honest, aside from his status as a relative, Yang Ming's impression on Li Yiyu was that he was a bit calm and powerful.
Now that he has signed a contract with Oriental Huayin, among the few new songs he has released, the title song was specially written for him by Yang Ming. In addition to being grateful, Li Yiyu also unknowingly has a sense of superiority and inferiority.
This is also related to Li Yiyu's own shy character.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ming immediately waved his hand for Li Yiyu to sit down: "Don't be so polite, we are all one family, haha!"
Li Xingyi knew Li Yiyu's character, so he laughed and patted Li Yiyu on the shoulder, telling him not to be so polite.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you. Without you, I would have given up on developing my career in the music industry during the Chinese New Year."
It didn't take long for the waiter to start serving the food. After the people left, Li Yiyu filled a glass of wine with a solemn face, held it up and saluted Yang Ming.
Only when he arrived at Dongfang Huayin did he realize how difficult it was for outsiders to get the songs written by Yang Ming.
Needless to say, outside the company, except for a few close friends of Yang Ming, even if other singers let the news out, as long as Yang Ming can tailor songs for them, it doesn't matter what price they pay.
It's a pity that Yang Ming rarely writes songs for money.
There are very few people in Dongfang Huayin who can let Yang Ming write songs himself.
Except for the company's few diva signatures, it is difficult for the following singers to let Yang Ming write songs himself. After all, the company now also has people who specialize in song writing or arranges songs from outside parties.
Therefore, Li Yiyu was full of gratitude to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming wrote "The Drunken Concubine" specially for him, which not only made him an instant success in the music world, but also allowed him to see the possibility of pursuing music.
Integrating traditional opera with pop music, Li Yiyu has now begun to try this music style, and the results are pretty good.
Yang Ming saw Li Yiyu's excited expression, but felt a little embarrassed inside.
During the Chinese New Year, he wrote a song for the other party, and after giving it to Sister Zhu, he basically didn’t think about it.
Although Li Yiyu now has a management contract with Oriental Huayin, he rarely goes to Oriental Huayin, so much so that he has not seen Li Yiyu since he handed her over to Sister Zhu.
He quickly took a sip of wine to hide his inner embarrassment.
Apart from writing a song for the other party at the beginning, he really didn't contribute much.
But now it seems that Li Yiyu has indeed found a direction on the road of music.
And compared with the Chinese New Year, Li Yiyu has obviously changed a lot.
Of course, Yang Ming is also happy to see this young man who is related to him and has never given up his music dream succeed.
If you look at it from another perspective, the other party is also a singer signed by Oriental Huayin. As the boss, he naturally hopes that the following singers will become more popular.
The next day, Yang Ming flew back to Yanjing.
But when he left, he was not alone. His uncle Li Xingyi also went to Yanjing with him.
"Every time I take your plane, I have the urge to buy one." Li Xingyi sighed while sitting in his seat, drinking red wine.
Yang Ming curled his lips when he heard this: "With your current wealth, it's not like you can't afford it."
He probably knew a little bit about Li Xingyi's net worth, and had heard his mother tell him about it.
According to the tradition of the Li family, after grandpa passed away, most of the Li family's property was inherited by the eldest son, uncle Li Xingren.
As the youngest son, my brother-in-law inherited only a small part of the family property.
But even this small part is worth billions of dollars.
However, this is all in the past tense.
Li Xingyi's current net worth has exceeded 30 billion Chinese yuan. The WeChat shares he originally invested less than 1 billion Chinese yuan in cooperation with Yang Ming have appreciated by at least 20 billion Chinese yuan. Coupled with his own hard work over the years,
It is well known to everyone in the Li family that his net worth exceeds 30 billion.
Yang Ming, who caused Li Xingyi's net worth to increase several times, attracted the attention of many Li family members.
Of course, they were more concerned about the WeChat shares in Yang Ming's hands. Unfortunately, they didn't have any chance. Whether they contacted Yang Ming through his grandfather, uncle, or in private, he refused without hesitation. Some people were so angry that they kept talking to Li's house.
Speak ill of Yang Ming.
But does Yang Ming care?
When Li Xingyi heard Yang Ming's words, he smacked his lips, smiled, and changed the topic about his net worth. This time he returned to Yanjing with Yang Ming. He did have important things to talk to Yang Ming.
“Consortiums from the United States and Europe have contacted me and want to invest in WeChat, and the quotes have been sent via fax.”
"oh?"
When Yang Ming heard the news from Li Xingyi, his expression suddenly perked up and he became interested: "Which company has the highest bid? And which company do you think is the most suitable?"
WeChat, which appeared in today's world, has become the most popular social software in the world at an exaggerated speed in less than two years.
There is no one.
The number of registered users and the number of active people in daily life have hit new highs repeatedly. It is now the social software with the largest number of users in the world. And as Yang Ming tells the people below about some successful software function ideas in his previous life, the definition of this software has become more than just
Limited to social software.
It’s more like a community on your mobile phone.
In addition, a more important point.
The strength of contemporary China is enough to ensure that local capital will expand abroad. As long as it does not violate local laws, it will not be deliberately blocked.
Various weird reasons for suppressing Chinese companies, such as anti-dumping in previous lives, involving national information security, and cultural conflicts with the home country, will never appear in this world.
Unless countries like the West and the United States no longer want to mix and enter the global market of East Asia.
It is precisely because of this that WeChat aroused enthusiasm among people all over the world as soon as it came out in this world. It has not been deliberately suppressed or blocked. It has developed so smoothly. In less than two years, it has snowballed like a snowball and its market value has been as high as a rocket.
Rising rapidly.
However, even if WeChat expands smoothly abroad, it does not mean that WeChat does not need partners.
This cake is really too tempting.
Yang Ming had the idea of diversifying his shares from the beginning, so he did not object to giving up part of his shares in WeChat and introducing several local consortiums to ensure the expansion of WeChat.
"Their bids are not low!" Even Li Xingyi couldn't help but tremble when he received faxed quotations from several leading foreign fund companies.
It is conceivable that the other party's quotation is really not low.
Moreover, the He family from the Lion City had previously made the highest bid, so how could the next bid be lower?
Later, Li Xingyi mentioned several company names that the people below thought were the most suitable for WeChat after analysis. Yang Ming remembered them one by one and nodded from time to time.
He couldn't help but be secretly stunned by the bids offered by those companies.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew how bright WeChat's future was, he would really be reluctant to let go of so many shares.
But it is precisely because WeChat has so much potential in the future that I believe those financial giants have noticed it, so they will spend huge sums of money in the hope of obtaining some shares from Yang Ming.
The group of wolves looked around, but Yang Ming was not confident that he would always have WeChat in his hands.
No matter where you go, eating alone is a taboo thing.
Now that he hears these quotes, Yang Ming can imagine the other party's eagerness to covet WeChat's future prospects, and he is also grateful for the decision he made in the first place.
10% of WeChat shares, the purchase price starts at least 35 billion yuan!
It is 5 billion yuan higher than the original purchase price of the He family in the Lion City.
In less than half a year, WeChat's market value has risen again, and numerous outside venture capital funds are very optimistic about the future of WeChat.
Yang Ming thought about these quotations and couldn't help but wonder how to spend the money.
He has not used most of the 30 billion Chinese dollars given by the He family last time, and now tens of billions of Chinese dollars will be credited to him. This money is coming too fast.
If it weren't for his persistence in movies in his previous life, he might just want to live a leisurely life waiting for death.
Why live such a tiring life?
But this thought flashed through his mind and was forgotten.
He will never forget his dream of the film industry in his previous life.
If you have such a good opportunity in this life, you must cherish it even more.
Thinking of money, Yang Ming suddenly thought of the film and television city's plan. Now that there is so much money, the film and television city's plan is not a problem at all.
Manager Huang and others have contacted many local city governments, but the investment funds required for the sites they value are too huge.
The 30 billion yuan that Yang Ming received from the He family was simply not enough.
