this man is not calm

Chapter 354 Light and Heavy

Holidays are rare breaks for ordinary people, but this is not the case for practitioners in the entertainment industry. The more holidays there are, the busier they are.

Throughout the year, there are few times when you can make a lot of money, and you usually have plenty of time to be lazy. If you don't take advantage of the stage when most people are consuming, you will suffer big losses.

For Mei Fengchun, Fang Hua and Zhang Yu, three students who have not yet fully entered the society, it is not so urgent. Dai Yiqin, the national idol, is different. I don’t know how many people up and down rely on it from New Year’s Day to Spring Festival. For a while, his activity was mixed with food.

Nan Dabiao, who was so busy, stopped what he was doing and sat down in the company to direct a series of publicity actions. Nan Dalong also said goodbye to many Yingying Yanyan, and rarely became serious. After busying himself, he led the team to follow Dai Yiqin. Live events.

The album sales on the last day of 1996 were acceptable, about 250,000 copies. On New Year's Day, as various measures were put in place, the sales quickly exploded. By the evening of the 1st, the total domestic sales volume exceeded one million, once again It broke the record held by Dai Yiqin himself.

Before the era of mobile Internet and when digital albums were not popular, selling one million albums was quite an exaggeration, let alone within three days.

This is a miracle created by the combination of Dai Yiqin's super popularity, well-produced songs, and passionate singing. Of course, the company spares no effort to support it, and the complete domestic promotion channels are also an important help.

Foreign sales seem to be okay, especially in countries and regions surrounding Southeast Asia, and in the Chinese-inhabited areas across the ocean, it is said to be very popular as well.

This is the total explosion accumulated in the past two years. It is hard to say that it will exceed 10 million in a single month. It is still very promising to exceed 15 million in the peak sales period of three months. Insiders estimate that the total sales of this "Old Man" album will be During the life cycle, it is predicted that it can sell for 23 million to 25 million. The upstream and downstream industrial chains directly leverage nearly one billion in turnover. A conservative estimate is that its total value is twice that.

"I haven't been to this place for three or four years. It looks nice, but it's not very convenient."

In order to maximize its value, Dai Yiqin is now doing on-site signing activities in several big cities in Sichuan and Sichuan. It is estimated that his hands will cramp when signing, and the muscles on his face will be numb when taking photos with a business smile.

One billion, many domestic listed companies do not have that much turnover in a year.

"It's an illegal construction, but it won't be easy to demolish."

"There are many reasons, just to mention them all! Recently, the control has been much stricter. Some have been bulldozed and some have been abandoned. Protecting wild animals, maintaining ecological balance and so on. Anyway, the value of development is not particularly great, except for people like us... … People who come here almost fully armed to explore are not allowed to go there as ordinary tourists, it’s more dangerous.”

After taking off his coat and hanging it up, Zhang Yunying checked his cell phone. There was no signal. Fortunately, the team guide had equipment to communicate with the outside world and provide timely feedback if something went wrong.

Confirming his little cousin's judgment, Zhang Yunying responded,

Infinite scenery lies in dangerous peaks. In inaccessible places, there are always wonderful sights. If it were easy to get there, everyone would be tired of seeing them and it would not be surprising.

On January 5th, Xiaohan and Dai Yiqin finished their western promotion tour and flew non-stop to southern Gansu to participate in local folk activities, promote their music albums, and shoot an endorsement commercial. They were extremely busy. At the same time, Xiao Jin also The friends rode horses in the snowfields of Changbai Mountain, admired the alpine forest farms that are not usually seen, and walked on the trails halfway up the mountain.

"really!"

Whether you are making a movie, releasing an album, or publishing a book, you often have to talk about metaphysics. Good quality does not necessarily mean a song will sell well. There are too many negative cases of success or failure.

Zhang Yunying said slowly,
"The limit is to pick a good place with convenient transportation to build a ski resort. In the past, wealthy families secretly built vacation villas."

Dai Yiqin's actual income is between 13 and 15 percent. He also gets dividends from shareholders, but not too much. For a big star of this level, the income from brand endorsements, business deals, and high-priced announcement fees is much higher. More.

The three of them were chatting when the door outside was pushed open and Li Xuan, without an inch of skin exposed, walked in. After shaking off the snow on her body, she hurriedly warmed up by the fire.

"Isn't that illegal construction?"

Unlike the future where hundreds of millions of sales can be achieved by just moving your fingers or scrolling through the charts in a few minutes, the final golden age of physical music albums has arrived. Without the impact of online MP3s, the era of "gods fighting" and "gods fighting" has become a hit. Da Zi’s singers are truly money-spinners, comparable to walking humanoid money-printing machines.

Of course, this kind of good thing cannot happen every year. The sales volume of the last album "Man's Good" was only two-thirds of the sales volume of the album "Old Boy".

Through copyright income, company dividends and channel commissions, Jin Shang’s actual income is nearly 45%, and after deducting costs and taxes, it is also more than 40%, which is nearly 400 million. No wonder Lao Dai dares to boast that he can help Xiao Jin with his own hard work. A big favor.

In this season, the horses get tired easily. They walked to the rest area and were led by the guide to feed them some fodder and drink water, while the brothers drank wine by the fire.

As for the lazy Li Xuan, she didn't want to move for a long time. She was hanging slowly in the back on the sleigh and she hasn't come yet.

It was more than 20 degrees below zero outside the house, and around 10 degrees inside the house, which was quite warm.

"Is it snowing outside?"

Jin Shang asked very curiously.

Not long ago, the warm sunshine in winter was quite nice!

"It's average, but it's getting bigger and bigger."

The weather in the mountains changes quickly. Water vapor comes in and quickly rises and cools down. Snow is normal, but occasionally strong winds and hail can cause headaches.

"It really changes at the drop of a hat. I don't know how the former fishing and hunting people survived here."

Although the land is fertile, it cannot be utilized at all with ancient technological capabilities.

Just like the Great Plains of North America, there are no Hengduan Mountains. The cold wave from the Arctic flows unimpeded all the way to the Caribbean. Without the blessing of the industrial age, such conditions would not even allow for the development of farming, let alone farming. From time to time, heavy snow would close the door, and then Mixed with the hurricane, there was nothing to do but hunt.

It's similar here. Don't look at the endless black earth plains below the mountain, which are either frozen forests or subarctic swamps. Without large-scale transformation of agricultural machinery, there will be no crops.

In the previous life, Beidahuang became Beidacang, but it took a generation of youth to build it.

To be honest, the conditions in this life are slightly better than those in the previous life, but they are also limited. Second uncle Zhang Hua has to work harder if he wants to find gold here.

"First ask the guide to see if you can continue walking. If it's difficult, just take a day off. Tomorrow you can go see Tianchi and soak in the hot springs to relieve your fatigue. Then go see the ice sculpture exhibition."

The eldest Mei Wenhui suggested this.

It is indeed dangerous to walk in the mountains under heavy snow. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. We are all billionaires, so we cannot end up here just because of an accident.

Jin Shang, in particular, doesn't even have a capable brother. Little Jinfeng is still nursing, and Lao Jin can't take advantage of such a huge foundation.

"Then... let's see again! There is nothing in this place, how can we pass the time?"

Zhang Yunying thought for a while and then replied:

"I went to the guide and made a satellite phone call. There are several partners whose hometowns are nearby. Maybe there is an abandoned manor mansion that has not been demolished yet, and the facilities there are more complete..."

"Really?"

"I can't say whether I can make phone calls, but I can definitely watch TV. There is an antenna..."

"It's just like a pot, isn't it banned?" Zhang's cousin smiled but didn't answer.

If you don't let it be used, don't let it go. In a place like this that can't be controlled, isn't it just letting it go?
More than an hour later, everyone braved the wind and snow to arrive at a large house in a dense forest in the mountains. Not only was it fully equipped with everything, it even had an enclosed hot spring pool.

Rich people can really mess around!

After taking a sauna and a bath, everyone sat comfortably in the living room and watched TV. There were newspapers from half a month ago on the small table, which proved that someone had been here not long ago.

The programs on TV are not particularly attractive, but when everyone is idle, they can only watch and serve as a background for conversation.

At this time, the music channel introduced the recently released music albums. Xiao Maza Band was mentioned in one word, and Dai Yiqin's "Old Boy" was highlighted, which received a lot of praise.

"Ashang, these two albums have made you a lot of money, right? The pressure is a little less..."

Mei Wenhui got a glass of red wine from nowhere and drank it leisurely with Zhang Yunying. Jin Shang was not interested and sat with his girlfriend Li Xuan, reading the fashion magazine at hand.

"It's not bad. The main purpose is to highlight the strength of the issuance and tell a good story for the online video listing. The application will be formally submitted in the second half of the year, and it is convenient to write the prospectus."

"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. The stock market has been average in the past two years, and the price-to-earnings ratio given is not too high."

"Next year should be better! I can't wait. The demand for data storage and computing services is rising too fast. Spending money is like water. We must use the power of the capital market to boost..."

"How much are you prepared to raise?"

"Thirty-five billion, the total valuation, I hope it will be more than 20 billion."

"so tall?"

Mei Wenhui was a little surprised. The market value of 20 billion was already in the top 20% of existing listed companies.

"Cash out while you are at a high position, and then use the money to transform. The Internet era is coming, and offline channels will be hit. Then, we will 'touch the Internet' to change the operating model. Offline stores... their days are not long."

"Then you are still expanding your terminal stores like crazy?"

Facing everyone's doubtful glances, Jin Shangyun replied calmly:
"Now we are opening an external store, but in the future... we can do other things."

For example, after-sales service, offline payment experience stores, etc., as long as there is no waste.

"That's it!"

Mei Wenhui smiled bitterly.

"Minxing Bank also plans to go public in the first quarter of next year, or the second quarter at the latest, with a financing of 6 billion, and an estimated market value of about 35 billion. If the two of us join forces to drain 10 billion of liquidity, can the secondary market bear it? ?”

You know, those who want to go public and raise funds include not only China Minsheng Bank and Jinxi Video, but also other companies that come over and want to cash out.

The current total amount is just that big, so it would be terrible if so much money is lost all at once.

Jin Shang waved his hand indifferently.

"If there is a big bull market at the end of this year or early next year, wouldn't everything be solved?"

"Will it go so smoothly?"

Mei Wenhui didn't believe that things would go so smoothly.

If a large amount of liquidity pours in in a short period of time, it will be good news for companies that take the opportunity to go public.

Raising his finger and shaking it, Jin Shang continued mysteriously:
"Tell my second uncle that the prospectus should be bolder and more radical. Our two companies are high-quality assets. If you tell a good story, you won't have to worry about no one buying it."

"What's the inside story? I haven't heard anything about it..."

Whether there is really a bull market around the corner, no one can say, but...

"The World Trade Organization has officially begun operations, and the dividends brought by the first wave of supply chain integration represented by technology stocks are almost here. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more domestic Internet startups, and cats and dogs are here to tell stories ', Angel investors are everywhere looking for project investment. Correspondingly, the performance of upstream and downstream export-oriented companies is also very good, and the supply of products exceeds demand. Even if they produce a piece of shit, there are people rushing to get it. "

"This...is true!"

Mei Wenhui thought about it for a moment and agreed with Jin Shang's judgment.

The reaction of the secondary market is often half a year to a year slower than that of the primary market. In this way, at the end of this year or early next year, with the release of the annual report, the outstanding performance will indeed lead to a very considerable rise, but... …

"What you're talking about seems like overinvestment, a bubble inflating, and then... bang!"

As he spoke, Mei Wenhui made an exaggerated gesture of turning into ashes and looked at Jin Shang, who was not worried at all.

"Cousin, blow bubbles and then squeeze bubbles. This is reincarnation. For us, change means opportunity, which is a good thing."

Of course, the prerequisite for this statement to be true is that the person in charge of the affairs has a precise strategic vision and has enough strength to seize the opportunity and reap the benefits of this incident.

After a pause, Xiao Jin explained very seriously:
"We are not causing trouble, we are just taking advantage of the turbulent times to make a little more profit. As for the over-hyping of technology stocks and what will happen when the bubble bursts, what does it have to do with us? We are not the ones shorting anyway!"

That is what the supervisor should worry about. It is enough for Jin Shang and his friends to operate honestly and make reasonable profits.

Now... this coalition of interests is not strong enough or tacit enough, and it is not qualified to take the initiative to do big things.

"I understand. Let's talk to dad when we go back. By the way..."

Mei Wenhui said, suddenly remembering something,

"You are also a major shareholder. Have you received the annual report and the board of directors' proposal? Why do you seem to have just learned about it..."

Jin Shang spread his hands very calmly,
"I'm so busy, I don't have time to look at those things. They are all carefully packaged data. It's too troublesome to think about it. With my second uncle looking after everything, I don't need to worry about everything in detail!"

Xiao Jin laughed. He really didn't read the Minxing Bank's statements in detail. He just needed to grasp the key points. The financial reports... are for outsiders to see. If anything happens, just talk to his second uncle.
