Chapter 1017 Xiangyang has changed?
《Real Madrid President Florentino arrives in Beijing》

"Sports World Dialogue with Real Madrid President, Optimistic about the Future Development of Chinese Football"

"China News Weekly: Behind Real Madrid and Liverpool's Successive Arrivals in China"

"2011 First Beijing-surrounding Professional Road Cycling Race Tracking Report"

《HTC Speedway Team of the United States, Team Sky of the United Kingdom, Lotto Team of Belgium, Rabobank Team of the Netherlands, AG2R-HYS Team of France》

"Beijing Guoan is expected to restart the '11-man international'."

"Gilma Assefa and Patrick Macca have arrived in Guangzhou to prepare for the competition, aiming for the 2 hours and 05 minutes mark"

"."

For a time, all major portals, print media and news focused on the news.

They were all overwhelmed by reports related to the Beijing Tour, Guangzhou Marathon and football.

Ali Ma, who attracts attention wherever he goes, did not even get a single page in the media interview at the airport. When he met Xiang Yang, he jokingly said:
"If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed over here this morning."

"Mr. Ma, what are you talking about?" Xiang Yang felt a little embarrassed.

The content that the media rushed to report was all closely related to HYS, and he did not expect the media to be so enthusiastic.

The scale of this coverage is no less than holding a large-scale event in the country.

This is true, and it is a chance for the sports fans lurking in Liu Xixi's fan group to feel proud.

Two days ago, Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian were in Thailand.

They could only watch helplessly.

But today is different
Other stars may not have this treatment, but the composition of Liu Xixi's fan base is quite complicated.

Some people only support Liu Xixi, some support CP, some like to watch melons, some like football, and some like...
Even some people who like the coconut shoes launched by HYS think that by joining Liu Qianqian's fan group, they can get the news about the new limited edition sneakers first.

As they chatted more and more happily.

Liu Xixi's fans began to fight back.

I won't kick anyone if I want to.

After such a long time, quarrels often occur.

Everyone is used to it.

"What are you so proud of? We can run a marathon with Liu Qianqian. You guys are so proud of yourself, can you drag Xiangyang to play football with you?"

"That's right. Liu Qianqian signed up for the half marathon and invited Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, and even Natalie Portman came to support her even though she was pregnant."

"You guys are so excited, have you signed up for the competition? There is an amateur category in the cycling competition."

"."

Sharp words touch people's hearts.

Although there are many action-oriented sports fans, there is still a gap compared to fans of celebrities.

It’s just like, not all star-chasers are fanatical fans.

Moreover, this time, only the top executives of Real Madrid and Liverpool came, while the current stars are still busy playing in Europe.

If you live closer to the capital, you can go to the scene to show your support, but if you live far away, there is really no need to do so.

It would be more economical to save your money and watch the "Veterans Game".

And the amateur group experience race of the Beijing Tour
"I'm signed up! Go pick up your race pack tomorrow!"

“I signed up too.”

"There are professional riders leading the way in every amateur stage~"

"The one upstairs, do you want to form a team together?"

"."

Compared with the lively fan group, the conversation between Xiangyang and Ali Ma seemed to be harmonious and profitable.

If you invite someone here from afar, there must be something to discuss.

"Mr. Xiang, to be honest with you, I am indeed not optimistic about the future development of Huayi." When talking about the topic that Xiang Yang cares about most, Ali Ma was very frank.

The departure of celebrities is only one aspect.

The key point is that as one of the top ten circulating shareholders, he could not figure out Huayi’s future strategy, whether it was seeking long-term development or short-term interests.

Even after its successful launch, "Tangshan" won the box office championship in 2010.

But from the perspective of capital, who says that going public is necessarily the cornerstone to greater success?

In the stock market, there are some well-known companies that have been declining since their listing.

Moreover, although "Tangshan" is very successful, if you look closely at the entire Huayi, apart from the golden signboard of Feng Dapao, can you pick out a second director who can also create good results in commercial films?
Even Wang Xiaolei admitted in front of the media that half of Huayi's empire was conquered by Feng Dapao.

There is absolutely no problem in applying this statement to unlisted companies.

We all close the door and just need to distribute the benefits well.

But as a listed film and television company, the problem is quite serious.

What is more serious than this is that the newly expanded business has failed to effectively bring new profit growth points to the company.

The new businesses that Huayi expanded after its listing mainly revolved around music distribution and investment and operation of cinemas. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this requires huge amounts of capital.

Once the funds raised from the stock market are not enough to maintain their operations, the big and small Wangs need to take another shortcut - pledging their equity.

Pledging equity can indeed obtain funds in a short period of time, but it is also the beginning of risk accumulation.

Ali Ma and Xiang Yang also pledged their shares.

But their behavior is very different from that of the big and small kings of Huayi.

How can these two people who were very cautious about pledging their shares once be compared with the Wang brothers, who have pledged their shares twice since 2011?

If we talk about the number of times Wang Da and Wang Xiao pledged their shares later, even if Little John came, he would not be worthy of carrying their shoes.

Of course, the key information revealed by Ali Ma is exactly what Xiang Yang needs.

"Mr. Ma, maybe in the future we can deepen our cooperation in the field of film. I am still very optimistic about the development of the Chinese film market." Xiang Yang simply mentioned it without any intention of fooling Ali Ma.

Alibaba Pictures will always be in the first echelon of China in terms of film production and distribution.

What he said will be verified sooner or later.

"Actually, I flew here specially to seek Mr. Xia Xiang's opinion." Alima said with a smile.

He is very optimistic about the future development of the ticketing company jointly established by Enlight Pictures and Bona Film Group.

The establishment of this ticketing website was also fueled by Xiangyang.

As he wanted to invest as an individual, he certainly hoped to take advantage of Xiang Yang's good relationship with Wang Changtian and Yu Dong.

It not only saves time, but also saves effort.

"Mr. Ma really has a keen eye for talent." Xiangyang looked at Ali Ma in amazement.

The vision is really great.

"Why don't you stay a few more days until the event here is over?"

"Mr. Xiang is the one who really has a keen eye for talent." Alima said with a humble expression.

Being able to facilitate cooperation between two film and television companies in the ticketing market and not being greedy for the profits brought by the development of the ticketing company is something that not everyone can do.

From this point of view, he admired Xiangyang's pattern.

"I don't deserve what you said, Mr. Ma." Xiangyang waved his hands with a wry smile.

Commercial hype aside.

Am I not greedy?
I blindly thought that I had shares in WhatsApp and Uber and invested in DJ.

He also acquired shares in Hermès.

With these priceless stocks and a little investment, the money you earn is more than enough.

There's no need for Liu Qianqian to get involved in everything.

Who could have predicted that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst?
What I am facing now needs to be discussed with my wife.

It would be embarrassing to tell this to anyone, so I can only swallow it.

"The ticketing websites of Guangguang and Bona can get strong support from Alibaba, and the future prospects will be better. Maybe in the future, the movies I invest in will still need Mr. Ma's strong support."

It’s true that there is no stock in the ticketing website, but Xiangyang also sincerely hopes to be able to make this deal.

Even if he doesn't help, Alibaba will set up its own film company in the future. According to its development, it will also acquire a ticketing company as its main business.

The company has a market share of over 50% in the primary ticketing market, and its coverage of top concert projects is nearly 100%.

It is in no way inferior to Maoyan from Enlight Pictures.

"Mr. Xiang is so busy, why are you interested in investing in movies?" Ali Ma asked curiously.

He was aware of the situation outside.

Xiangyang has been very busy these days.

"I suddenly saw a good script, and CEO Yu and CEO Wang happened to be very interested in it."

After giving a brief account of the story of "The Equalizer", Xiang Yang continued, "There are relatively few domestic films with this theme, but I personally still think it has a certain market potential."

"If Mr. Xiang thinks it's good, then it will definitely be a good movie." Ali Ma said the truth gracefully.

At least in his opinion, his words were not meant to be commercial flattery.

Several excellent works of Hermès Film Investment Company are directly related to Xiang Yang.

Who would believe you if you said he has not hit rock bottom in the film industry?

"To be honest, seeing the booming domestic film market this year, I am also a little tempted."

"Mr. Ma is also interested?!"

After Xiangyang finished speaking, he suddenly felt that he had said nonsense.

No matter when Alibaba Pictures was established, wealthy people will not ignore the huge business opportunities therein.

It's like when Chinese football is mentioned, people always mention how unique and wise Evergrande is in choosing to use the huge platform of the football club to promote real estate.

However, anyone who knows a little about Chinese football knows this.

After the league became professional, Jianye Club had 60% of its shares acquired by Jianye Real Estate Development Company.

The remaining 40% of the shares were bought out in 1999.

Although the real estate company had limited investment, it bought the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium for the club.

It also made this club, which lacked league competitiveness, become the first football club in China to fully own its home stadium.

What else is there to blame Evergrande besides debt?
The championship title bought with money will be worthless when the club no longer exists.

By the way, Alibaba has also invested in football.
Ali Ma thought the topic would be about film investment, but Xiang Yang unexpectedly talked about football. "If Mr. Xiang invites me, I certainly won't refuse."

Why would you refuse to attend the opening ceremony of the Hundred Teams Cup with Xiangyang?

"Mr. Xiang, have you prepared your speech? Why don't you let me help you take a look at it? I am more experienced in this area." Thinking that Xiang Yang has been staying overseas and may not be used to the domestic process, Ali Ma took the initiative to suggest.

"Speech?" Xiangyang was stunned. I wasn't going on stage, so why should I prepare this thing?

Damn, it’s broken!
Little John.
"Hahaha, I thought you were in a hurry to find me about something after you sent Mr. Ma away, but it turned out to be this."

Little John happily took out a folded A4 paper from the inside pocket of his suit and shook it.

"Don't worry, I asked Uncle An to help me polish my writing."

"You even dare to order my father-in-law around." Xiang Yang was speechless. Why didn't Principal An ask him?

"Uncle An was afraid that I might say something wrong." Seeing that his friend had no intention of reading it, Little John put the speech away with a smile and asked, "What did you talk about with Mr. Ma?"

"We talked about investment, and the development of film and sports culture."

"How was the discussion about Huayi's stock?" Little John didn't care about anything else. He only cared about this now.

"Let's talk, he will help." Xiangyang nodded slightly.

"That's great." Little John looked at his friend with a gratified look, you finally did something worthy of praise.

"He also has his own investment ideas, but they just happen to be the same as ours, so we reached a consensus."

Xiangyang waved his hand, signaling Little John to bring him a bottle of water before talking about anything else.

No eyesight at all.

"You're wrong to say that." Little John didn't care at all about losing face while serving tea to his friend.

Just like when he corrected Xiangyang's point of view in a fit of anger, he said clearly, "Alimaro is a successful businessman. The fact that you can think the same as him just shows that you still have business acumen. But there is one thing you didn't do well."

"." Xiangyang frowned slightly, and his movement of unscrewing the bottle of mineral water was half a second slower.

"You should have invited him to have lunch or dinner with you." Little John analyzed it in a logical way. "Don't you Chinese have an old saying, 'If you eat someone's food, you will be grateful. If you take someone's money, you will be grateful.'"

"I don't see any shortcomings in you." Xiang Yang sneered, "How about you prove it to me?"

The room suddenly fell into silence.

"."

Their eyes met, and Xiangyang tried hard not to show any guilty expression.

He was busy complaining and didn't control his mouth.

"Just wait, I will give you another godson sooner or later." The humiliated little John bit his back teeth hard.

It's just giving birth to two "little fairies" at once, what's the big deal?

Your parents said I was great for giving birth to a boy!

"Then go and discuss it with Laura. It's no use telling me." Xiang Yang spread his hands. "I have to make it clear in advance that having little JoJo is enough. If there is another one, I won't be this cheap godfather."

"Then I'll talk to Liu." Little John said that as long as Liu Qianqian agrees to be his godmother, it doesn't matter whether you are his godfather or not.

Now, it was Xiangyang's turn to bite his back teeth.

Xiang Yang knew that if he started arguing with Little John, he would waste a lot of time, so he simply ended the topic, "I don't want to waste time talking to you. Go get ready, we'll go to the hotel later."

Little John said that they should invite Alima to have a meal together, and Xiangyang certainly understood the principle of being a good host.

But not because of anything else.

It's not appropriate to drag an old horse around.
