On the morning of August 2013, 8, the headquarters of Kiwifruit Yanjing Company held a press conference to announce the successful completion of the B round of financing.Cai Ruiheng, CEO of Wild Fox Investment Huaxia District, attended the signing ceremony. Wild Fox will acquire a 8% stake in Kiwifruit with an investment of US$3.8 million, and promises that if Kiwifruit goes public, it will take out no less than 25% of the equity as tradable shares.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kiwi announced that it would wholly acquire the PPS video website for US$3.5 million, successfully upgrading Kiwi Online Video from the web version to an online video website with web pages and clients.At the press conference, Gong Yu also announced that he will enter the Internet TV project.Kiwi will cooperate with TV manufacturers to provide TV Internet video content, using its own video resources, network technology, and the ability to create user experience.Character Beat also announced that "Today's Toutiao" will enter into a strategic partnership with Kiwi Fruit, and Kiwifruit will become the main short video provider of "Journey to Toutiao".

With this financing and acquisition, the valuation of Kiwi Online Video Network exceeded US$15 billion in one fell swoop, making it the second largest online content provider in China, only Youtu Video.For the first time, Wild Fox Investment has truly come into the public's sight.Kiwi Fruit and Character Beat, two promising unicorn companies in the industry, all hold a large number of shares in Wild Fox Investment, not to mention the larger Wild Fox Film and Television Production Company and Beijing Cultural Theater Company.

Huo Mingda, CEO of Wild Fox Film and Television Company, who participated in the press conference, was interviewed and claimed that in order to support the development of Kiwi Fruit’s online video, Wild Fox Film and Television Production Company and Kiwi Fruit reached a strategic cooperation agreement, and the film and television dramas produced by the company will be given priority to Kiwi Fruit It will be broadcast, including the two TV series "Why Shengxiaomo" and "All Quiet in Peking" that are currently being filmed.The two variety shows produced by the company will also broadcast the behind-the-scenes highlights during the shooting period exclusively to Kiwi. Many viewers who follow the two variety shows can learn about the entire shooting process of the variety show through these behind-the-scenes highlights.

After the press conference in the afternoon, Shen Fang had dinner with Gong Yu, talked about the development prospects of online video, and put forward some suggestions of their own.Shen Fang suggested that Kiwifruit should consider the production of online variety shows in addition to the preliminary preparations for the production of film and television dramas planned by Gong Yu.The General Administration of State Guangdian has increasingly strict control over variety shows on TV stations, but online variety shows are still virgin territory, and many variety shows with a slightly larger scale and topicality can be considered for production.

The American Comedy Center has a program called Tucao Talk Show, and many entertainment stars are invited to participate in each episode.The host's sharp words, complaints about the stars present, self-reports of controversial stars, and criticism of social phenomena.Shen Fang suggested that TV stations would definitely not be able to broadcast variety shows like this, where topicality and entertainment are on a sensitive scale, but online media can.

Shen Fang also gave Gong Yu a contact information, which was the personal phone number of Reed Hastings, the CEO of American Netflix.Only then does Gong Yu know that Shen Fang is actually one of the major shareholders of Netflix, and this news surprises Gong Yu.Netflix has exceeded 3000 million paying users across the United States this year, especially the broadcast of Netflix's self-produced series "House of Cards", which has successfully pushed Netflix's market value to more than 200 billion US dollars. Several domestic online video companies are vying for the copyright of the "House of Cards" series. With the help of Shen Fang, a major shareholder of Netflix, Kiwifruit will definitely be able to take the lead.And the success of Netflix has pointed out a bright road for Kiwi, insisting on genuine copyright, increasing the capacity of the video library, laying out the upstream of film and television production, and increasing investment in self-produced dramas and exclusive dramas.

The next day, many financial media sent letters to Wild Fox Film and Television Company, hoping to obtain more information about Wild Fox Investment Company, but they were all declined.At this time, Shen Fang was reprimanded by his uncle Shen Haiyang at the Shanghai Hon Hai Group.

"You are 27 or [-] years old now, why don't you let your mother worry so much?" Shen Haiyang looked at the tired look of his nephew on the sofa in front of him and got a little annoyed. Compared with Shen Yao, this nephew is too casual.

"Uncle, my mother filed a complaint with you again?" Shen Fang picked up the teapot on the table and refilled Shen Haiyang's tea: "I know my mother is worried, but I really don't need four or five bodyguards. You said that I was young, walking outside, shouting and hugging, four or five bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses blocking the people outside, isn't it a bit too ostentatious."

"Sister-in-law is worried about you! You have invested billions of dollars this time. If you are reported by the media, you will definitely be noticed by interested people. Be careful that someone will take reckless risks. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, plan ahead, and take precautions before they happen." Shen Yao on the side persuaded.As the successor of the Shen family, Shen Yao is equipped with three bodyguards, two bright and one dark, plus a full-time driver.If he goes to other places to discuss business affairs, Shen Yan will also arrange other people to accompany him.

"Stop talking, I'll arrange it." Shen Haiyang stopped Shen Fang's words about to distinguish, "I asked Shen Yan to arrange two capable people to follow you, one as an assistant, one as a driver, and also as a bodyguard when needed Use. Your usual range of activities is also very fixed, unlike the boss who often runs outside, two are enough."

"Okay." In order to reassure his family, Shen Fang had no choice but to agree. With the exposure of the domestic media and the increasing number of investment projects, he also needed a full-time assistant to handle Dali related affairs.

"Xiao Ye, this is Qian Bin and Master Cheng Yue." In the afternoon, Shen Yan brought over the assistants and bodyguards prepared for him. The exposed bulky muscles can be seen, and the explosive power should be good.Cheng Yue, on the other hand, is relatively sophisticated. He is about 25 years old, with a slightly thin body and slightly gray temples. He looks ordinary, but from his eyes that look around from time to time, he can feel that he should be on alert at any time.Moreover, Shen Yan is more respectful to him, it seems that he should have something to hold on to.

Shen Yan and Shen Fang introduced in detail: "Qian Bin is from the countryside in northern Anhui. He used to be a kickboxing athlete in Anhui Province. He participated in national competitions and his skills are good. After retiring, he worked as a security guard in the group company. After taking a bachelor’s degree, it’s good to help you drive a car, carry a bag, and be an administrative assistant.”

"Master Cheng Yuecheng, originally from Shanghai, once served in a certain army special force in Southwest China. After retiring in 98, he joined G4S company. He has participated in international professional security training, and has participated in security services for government leaders and business celebrities many times. 2010 In 4, we hired G[-]S to serve the group, and uncle specially arranged for you."

"Master Qian, Master Cheng, hello, I will trouble you both in the future." Shen Fang stood up and shook hands with the two of them one by one. From now on, these two people will basically follow him at any time, and it is better to make some things clear first. : "Master Cheng, Master Qian, I am usually quite monotonous, and my life circle is relatively simple. I didn't have security personnel before, and I basically deal with everything by myself. So please give me a period of time to adapt. You two don't need to show up all the time. I'm near me, and I'll call for you if needed."

Cheng Yue interjected: "Young Master Shen, don't worry. Usually we won't follow you. You can ask Qian Bin to be the driver when you go out, or you can leave the daily chores to him. And I am mainly responsible for the peripheral Vigilance and investigation of the surrounding environment will be carried out to eliminate potential hidden dangers in the bud as much as possible.”

Shen Fang thought about it for a while, turning light and dark, ensuring safety without being too ostentatious: "That's good, then please two." Shen Fang then told Master Cheng Yue about his recent itinerary, and how to arrange it will be up to you. He is in charge.

After that, Qian Bin was in charge of driving, and Shen Fang went to the "Qing Club" to visit his mother, and helped Qin Mohan get some hair care and skin care products developed by the club.

"Oh, who is this? Is this my son? A rare visitor." Seeing Shen Fang enter the door, Shen Qingyi, who was sitting behind the desk, had a mocking smile on her face.

"Mom, besides my son, do you have any other sons?" Shen Fang said with a playful smile, "Look, this is your real son. He gave up billions of dollars in business and came here to see you."

"Specially to see me? You came to ask for something for your girlfriend, you forget your mother when you have a wife. Hehe! I don't think I have such a thick-skinned son." Shen Qingyi sneered for a while, really didn't want to talk to this son.

Shen Fang came to Shen Qingyi's desk, lowered his head, only twenty centimeters away from her, pointed to the stubble at the corner of his mouth and said: "Mom, look, I'm not thick-skinned at all, my beard is sticking out. "

Looking at this poor son, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but push his head aside,
"Yezi, you two have been dating for more than half a year. What do you think now? I have already met Momo's mother. When are you going to visit her home? Momo's father wants to meet you. If it's okay , do you want to get engaged first?" Shen Qingyi now has a son with everything to do, and it would be even better if her son gets married as soon as possible to give birth to a grandson.

"Mom, Mo Mo is only 22 years old this year, isn't it too early?"

"What's wrong with being 22 years old? Your mother was only 22 years old when I gave birth to you."

"Mom, isn't this a different era? Besides, Mo Mo still wants to work hard for a few more years. You see, she doesn't even have a representative work now, and she doesn't want to just be seen as a vase."

"I didn't ask you to get married now, you can get engaged first, or wait two years to get married."

"Let me discuss it with Momo. I'm afraid she's not prepared."

Shen Fang had dinner with his mother, and left with the beauty supplies she had prepared for Qin Mohan.
