Chapter 664 Working for you

Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were chatting on the plane flying to Hui Province. The assistant suddenly came over and said: "Boss, Wang Baobao's family was killed in a car accident."

Zhang Yang's first reaction when he heard this was, is Ma Jinlian crazy?

"This car was used by Wang Baobao before?" Zhang Yang asked.

"No, it's just an accident that he was a relative from his hometown. The main cause of the trouble was a hit-and-run. Baby Wang is wearing a scarf and cursing others." The assistant explained. There seemed to be something wrong with what the boss asked.

Only then did Zhang Yang put aside his random thoughts.

Liu Yifei frowned and said, "Why is it that not only Wang Baobao keeps getting into car accidents, but his family also encounters this?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Zhang Yang didn't say much.

Liu Yifei remembered that Zhang Yang had told Baobao Wang about his wife before, but she was not familiar with Baobao Wang, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The next morning, Zhang Yang and the others parachuted into the capital of Hui Province, and finally conducted a normal publicity, and then went to Hangzhou in the afternoon.

After arriving in Hangcheng, we immediately headed to Wuzhen, where we rested today.

Security in Wuzhen is already very tight now. After Zhang Yang arrived, the assistant showed the invitation to the security personnel, and then volunteers came to take Zhang Yang to rest.

This year, like last year, many local B&Bs have been set up to provide free accommodation for participants.

In fact, all the volunteers knew Zhang Yang, but they didn't know Zhang Yang. Liu Yifei was also there, but the procedures were indispensable.

Zhang Yang came here in the name of Byte Running this time, and the place was arranged to be with Zhang Yiming.

After entering the B&B, the volunteers were still introducing Zhang Yang and the others, and Zhang Yiming soon heard the noise and came out.

"Director Zhang." Zhang Yiming smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yang, then shook hands with Liu Yifei and said, "Hello, Ms. Liu."

When Liu Yifei heard Zhang Yiming's address, she was stunned for a moment before saying hello to him.

Most of the people Liu Yifei meets with Zhang Yang are 10-20 years or more older than them. They may still refer to Zhang Yang as "Director Zhang" or "Director Zhang" but they all address her directly as Yifei.

Now that Zhang Yiming actually calls her Ms. Liu, can she not be stunned?

This also made Liu Yifei understand one thing, Zhang Yiming is a talent.

Zhang Yang and the others talked as they walked and arrived at the room assigned to Zhang Yang. The volunteer completed the task and resigned.

After Zhang Yiming and Zhang Yang took their seats in the living room, Liu Yifei took the initiative and said, "I'll make tea for you."

Zhang Yang glanced at Liu Yifei in surprise. There were not many people who could make her take the initiative to make tea.

Liu Yifei only made two cups of tea this time. After she put the tea for the two of them, she said with a smile: "You guys talk slowly." After that, she went back to the bedroom.

Zhang Yiming and Zhang Yangming chatted for a while and then said: "Dr. Zhang, this time I want to talk about video websites. Is it with Tengxun Video?" After some research, the people from ByteDance thought this was the most reasonable option. explanation of.

"Do you think ByteDance can get away with cooperating with them now?" Zhang Yang took a sip of tea after listening to what Zhang Yiming said, and then asked aloud.

Zhang Yiming stretched out his right hand to adjust his glasses and said nothing. Of course they knew that there would be no benefits from cooperating now, but it would be difficult to break up with Zhang Yang because of this.

"Do you still have sufficient cash flow?" Zhang Yang asked.

"We have only raised funds for six months, and we still have sufficient ammunition."

"What if you are asked to acquire iQiyi?" Zhang Yang asked, looking at Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming was shocked after hearing Zhang Yang's words. iQiyi is very popular in video websites. Their movie "Tomb Raiders" ushered in the era of blockbuster online dramas. It is now valued at more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. His byte running rate is However, it is valued at US$54 billion.

If they swallow Aiqiyi now, not to mention other things, their own development pace will definitely be disrupted. After all, video websites are known to be big money burners.

"This is not in line with our company's development strategy, and it also disrupts our development rhythm..." Zhang Yiming persuaded Zhang Yang.

"I can invest my own money to acquire it. Aren't you going to make a short video? It will be used by then." Zhang Yang explained to him.

Zhang Yiming was shocked again and asked uncertainly: "All in cash?"

Zhang Yang nodded. He really has this idea. After his acquisition, he can prevent iQiyi from burning money like crazy.

When Douyin is in trouble in two years, Zhang Yang will sell iQiyi to them and make a little money along the way.

But if this is the case, he will have to sell some Tengxun shares, which is not his optimal solution.

Zhang Yiming once again had a deep understanding of Zhang Yang's wealth. Wanda also spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire AMC theaters, but most of them were bank loans.

But Zhang Yang obviously had no such plan.

He can get it himself.

Now that Zhang Yiming saw Zhang Yang saying this, he was a little hesitant.

Zhang Yang knew that if he really did this, Zhang Yiming would be deeply concerned.

No matter how nicely he talks now, if Teng Xun comes and offers a high price to intervene, who knows what will happen.

"How about joining Bytedance as a shareholder?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Buy shares?"

"Li Yanhong is now thinking of ways to separate iQiyi from Baidu. This is an opportunity." Zhang Yang said confidently.

A big money-burning company like iQiyi has seriously dragged down Baiping’s stock price, so Li Yanhong’s thoughts are understandable.

"Then this amount."

"There will be other companies when the time comes, so you can discuss them together."

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Zhang Yiming thought to himself that he obviously had a comprehensive plan.

After getting down to business, the two chatted for a while and then he left.

Not long after Zhang Yiming left, his assistant came in and said to Zhang Yang: "Boss, Ahli has invested in Bona."

"How many shares did you hold this time?"

"10%." The assistant said with a strange expression. It's not to blame for his weird look. Ahri's investment in Bona and Fiber Holdings accounted for 10%, which is very similar to Zhang Yang's habits.

"Why is he investing in Bo Na now? Seeing that his stock price is low?" Zhang Yang asked a little confused.

Bona's current market value in the U.S. stock market is less than US$9 million, so bargain hunting is indeed feasible.

"They also have to participate in the privatization process of Bona."

Only then did Zhang Yang suddenly realize that even though the stock prices of several other leading domestic film companies have fallen like this, they still have a market value of 2-3 billion.

Fatty Yu has long been dissatisfied with the stock price of his company. Now with the success of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", he can't help but take action. He wants the US stock market to be delisted and returned to Big A.

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and thought that Ahri had invested in all the orthodox traditional giants in the film industry.

If you are not a traditional person, as for Xingmei...

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Yang. Ahli will be stuck with this money for a while anyway.

Think about it, Ali made some money by investing in Huayi, but left the market at a loss by investing in fiber optics. Investing in Bona is also a trap.

The privatization of Bona will not be completed until next year, and then they are confident that they will go public in 17. Fatty Yu also had a rare hard time. He does not want to buy a shell. He wants to line up to go public and get listed on the main board!

As a result, things were sorted out in this queue. It was almost Bona's turn in 19, but they were implicated by the law firm they were cooperating with, and the listing process was terminated.

Bona had to wait until 21 to apply for listing again, and finally succeeded in 22. It was still listed on the GEM, but when was that time? Three years is a special period, so the final market value can be imagined.

After the assistant finished speaking, he left quickly, and Zhang Yang also went to the bedroom.

Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yang walking into the room and asked casually: "Is the conversation over?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said to her: "Tomorrow you will go to the event in the morning, and I will take you somewhere in the afternoon."

"Where?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"You'll know when you go tomorrow."

Liu Yifei saw that Zhang Yang still whetted her appetite, so she walked up to Zhang Yang, grabbed one of Zhang Yang's arms, shook it and started coquettishly: "Tell me now!"

Zhang Yang changed the subject and said, "Would you like to go out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan?"

When Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yang not accepting her behavior, she thought, "acting like a baby doesn't work anymore?" This is not a good sign.

"I'm tired, I need to go to bed early." After Liu Yifei said that, she turned around and washed up. As she turned around, her hair brushed Zhang Yang's chin.

Zhang Yang was teased by her hair, but suddenly he wanted to hear Liu Yifei say "you pressed my hair" again.

This night in Wuzhen will not be peaceful!

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Yifei set off early. This time she was the only one to promote, when she got in the car. Zhang Yang told her assistant: "You want her to pay more attention, you know?"

Liu Yifei's assistant thought to herself, can I control her? But he still nodded and agreed.

Zhang Yang also knew that this little assistant couldn't control Liu Yifei. Even when he was on the scene, Liu Yifei sometimes ignored her image.

Not long after seeing off Liu Yifei, Zhang Yang and Zhang Yiming also went to Wuzhen Internet Convention and Exhibition Center.

Seeing this building again after a year, Zhang Yang was just stunned for a while and quickly said to Zhang Yiming: "Let's go."

Zhang Yiming nodded and walked in. This year's World Internet Conference was even larger, with more than 2000 people participating.

There were hundreds of people who could attend the opening ceremony. There are even many big bosses from abroad, and most of them are from countries “along the way”. Because the person speaking today is not an ordinary person.

Zhang Yang walked into the building and walked towards the main venue. The service staff he saw were also eye-opening.

They all wore white long-sleeved cheongsams with blue flower patterns evenly distributed on them. They looked like porcelain.

"Not only have there been more people this year, but the waiters have also become much prettier." Zhang Yang sighed to Zhang Yiming as he walked.

"Yes, not only is it beautiful, but it also has the Jiangnan charm you mentioned, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Yiming also sighed with emotion.

Zhang Yang suddenly suggested: "Yi Ming, should we at Bytedance run a song and dance troupe?"

"Ah!" Zhang Yiming was confused by Zhang Yang's leaping suggestion, but he quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, we don't have such cells."

Zhang Yang laughed after hearing this.

"Zhang Yang, what are you happy about?" Lao Ma suddenly walked up to Zhang Yang and asked.

Zhang Yang saw that Lao Ma did not reply to his question but instead joked: "Director Ma, I didn't expect that I would work for you after all."

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?"

"You have invested in all the leading companies in our film industry. Once I cooperate with them, I am working for you."

Lao Ma burst out laughing after hearing Zhang Yang's words. He thought what Zhang Yang said was quite interesting.

Many people in the hall saw Zhang Yang and Lao Ma chatting and laughing, but they didn't rush over to say hello.

Each of these two people is a boss. If you take the initiative to join in, they may not pay attention to you.

At this time, an old voice came: "Old Ma, if you have anything happy to share with me."

Zhang Yang and Lao Ma both turned around and looked over. It turned out to be Lianxiang Liu Chuanzhi and his successor Yang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yang and Lao Ma both greeted him politely.

Although he will be scolded a lot in the future, the mainstream voices still praise him now, and he still has the reputation of a "Confucian businessman".

As for when he acquired the company of a person who had offended him after becoming prosperous, no one said how to deal with that guy.

By the way, Rongchuang Sun Hongbing, who later saved Wanda Laowang, was also a member of Lianxiang and was once his successor.
