After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

After a few days of running around, Chen Shuo has gained more confidence in Miyin's expansion into North America next year.

His model for attracting investments has always been the same: old employees bringing in new employees.

When he was developing the Mimi APP, because of the support of the live broadcast business, Chen Shuo had new funds to create the Pingduoduo model.

After Mimi Mall had begun to take shape, Chen Shuo used this sign to raise money everywhere. By this time, his fame had been thoroughly established, and he began to attract investments from Echeng and Shunwei Capital.

Now he has sold the two live streaming platforms in a package to Echeng and acquired Meituan, and he has plenty of money.

Then, smash it.

Throw it hard into the short video.

In short, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the black musical note logo of Miyin began to appear frequently in the ace programs of major satellite TV stations, including many popular variety shows.

By the end of next year, Chen Shuo plans to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Shuo felt that 17 and 18 were the best two years in recent years, and of course, they were also the last glorious years of real estate.

So let's take advantage of the next two years to make steady progress. When the day of masks comes, there will be explosive growth.

To put it bluntly, we are all a product of the times. If masks hadn't locked everyone up at home, allowing the general public to begin to adapt to and rely on short videos as a way to quickly absorb information, and then start to get involved in live streaming sales, short videos would not have been able to develop so rapidly.

So, as I said, we are all pigs running towards the wind. Whoever runs up first and stands firm will be able to catch the first breeze and soar up to 90,000 miles.

Originally, Chen Shuo thought that nothing big would happen before the New Year, so he just had to wait for the holiday quietly. Then he received a phone call.

Yes, Principal Wang.

Chen Shuo and Principal Wang were not very familiar with each other. They only met once when artists from his entertainment company came to participate in "Creation 101".

"Hello, Mr. Wang, what's the matter?" Chen Shuo was basking in the sun in the courtyard of his home, crossing his legs and putting a cherry into his mouth, and asked with a smile.

"Boss Shuo, you seem to be in high spirits recently. I'm in Mingzhou these two days. Do you want to have a drink with me? There are girls here."

You talk as if someone is short of girls and you are looking down on someone.

My buddy is a rich man now.

Then, without waiting for Chen Shuo to speak, Principal Wang sent a few photos via WeChat.

Chen Shuo glanced at them for a few seconds and smiled: "Okay, when?"

"Tonight, I'll send you the location."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuo spat out the cherry seeds and swiped his phone, but the interface was not a chat box with Principal Wang, but a message from Shang Xiaoling.

Then, Chen Shuo called Shang Xiaoling.

"Is the news reliable?"

"It's absolutely reliable. Wanda's debt has reached 6000 billion. According to my intelligence, Mr. Wang is planning to sell off his assets recently, including cultural tourism projects, real estate projects, and even Wanda's shares."

Chen Shuo heard about this matter later, but didn't know much about it.

But now it seems that the former richest man is starting to go downhill.

The reason is very simple. The China Banking Regulatory Commission requires all banks to check the credit and risk analysis of several key companies. These companies all have huge investments overseas and huge bank loans. Among them, Wan Da is on the list.

Then, the bank withdrew the loan. What is meant by loan withdrawal is that the bank believes that your business is no longer viable and has major operational problems, and it wants to recover the loan in advance.

Then Mr. Wang discovered a horrifying reality: the company owed the bank 6000 billion yuan.

Chen Shuo didn’t know whether the Wang family had ever thought about running away. If not, then Old Wang was really tough and able to handle things.

If there was, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Mr. Wang’s response is also very simple, direct and rough, which is to start the selling mode.

All Wanda's properties are heavy assets, including real industries, commercial plazas, real estate projects, amusement parks, hotels, etc.
"Wanda has more than 400 commercial plazas in more than 200 cities across the country. This is their core project. The annual net profit from rent alone is over 10 billion. They will definitely not sell it."

"But maybe the theater can negotiate with us."

Chen Shuo’s idea was very simple. The senior had already gotten to this point, so whether to sell it or not was sometimes not just a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

When you have no choice but to sell it, you have to sell it.

When the two things happened together, Chen Shuo probably guessed that Principal Wang came to see him not just to chat about life with him and the internet celebrity, but also to relieve his father's worries.

He knew that Mimi Pictures was gaining momentum, but all its resources were concentrated online. If Chen Shuo could own his own cinema chain, Mimi Pictures' position in the entertainment industry would become extremely important in the future.

The meeting place with Principal Wang was a very famous club in Minnesota.

This guy is very famous on the Internet. Wherever he goes, people will take out their phones to take a couple of pictures and post them online: Look, Sicong is out with his new girlfriend again.

So Chen Shuo was more cautious. He waited until the main force entered the store before entering through the back door, and also had bodyguards guarding everywhere.

In the box

When Chen Shuo pushed the door open, he saw Principal Wang, several of his younger brothers, and a dozen or so female internet celebrities who looked similar, all shaking their heads.

The little girls were all dressed quite coolly, with small suspenders, black stockings, and short skirts.

When he saw Chen Shuo coming in, Principal Wang put down his glass and shouted, "Hey, all of you guys in the Internet industry, come and meet me. Chen Shuo is the boss of Miyin. Mituan Takeaway, Mimi Mall, and Station A are all his!"

"What are you still standing there for? The sponsor is here, come on!"

As he said that, he pushed several internet celebrities into Chen Shuo's arms.

Chen Shuo sat down with his arms around the two female internet celebrities with a forced smile, then raised his glass and clinked it with Principal Wang.

Principal Wang brought two sieves and asked, "Shake it twice?"

Chen Shuo nodded: "Shake it, play first, and talk about it after you're done."

Principal Wang looked at Chen Shuo meaningfully, and no one knew what he was thinking of. He smiled and sighed, then started rolling the dice with Chen Shuo.

"Three Ones!" Principal Wang always shouted loudly.

The two went back and forth, each winning and losing.

Then they played card games for more than an hour, and also played tissue paper tearing games, and Chen Shuo also joined in.

Those beautiful female internet celebrities were all eager to be kissed by Chen Shuo.

In the dark box, with only various spotlights shining back and forth, Principal Wang jumped around on the dance floor for half a quarter of an hour before he sat down, breathing slightly.

After taking a few pieces of paper to wipe his sweat, Principal Wang waved his hand and said calmly, "All of you go out first."

The younger brother and the female internet celebrities looked at each other, but no one asked why, and they left immediately.

All super rich second-generations are like this, and Principal Wang's personality is more prominent. They will play with friends who are not from the same class because of some hobbies, such as games, drinking, etc.

But he has the final say. If he says we play whatever we want to play, then we play. If he says we don’t want to play anymore, then we don’t play.

Moreover, they can turn against each other at any time.

Are these people friends? Yes and no, they are more like followers and playthings.

Principal Wang threw a few ice cubes into the cup and handed it to Chen Shuo: "Have you heard about my family's situation?" Chen Shuo crossed his legs and said: "I have heard about it, but I don't remember the details."

"We are in trouble. Our family is in urgent need of money, so we need to quickly start some projects recently."

Principal Wang's words were rather general, as if they were a piece of cake, but in fact, they were not just about selling off some projects, they were about selling off all property.

After hearing this, Chen Shuo said directly: "Your company has so many industries, but there is nothing suitable for me. The only thing I can think of is the cinema chain."

After hearing this, Principal Wang laughed and said, "Aren't you interested in other things? Hotels, cultural tourism projects. Your A station focuses on the second dimension and is also developing IP. If you buy some cultural tourism projects, you can build a theme park in the future."

The idea is right and it will definitely make money. For example, Pop Mart built its own theme park after it became popular.

But if you buy it now, you will definitely be crazy.

Chen Shuo smiled and waved his hands: "I don't have that much money now. I will go overseas after the New Year. The expenses there are very huge, so if your father is willing to negotiate with me about the theater chain, I can still try my best to raise money. Of course, the price is right."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo glanced at Principal Wang and said, "Or, can you make the final decision and let us talk directly?"

Principal Wang smiled and said, "I can't make the decision. I'm just here to play as a striker. Take some time to come to the capital. My father wants to talk to you."

It is impossible for the cinema chain to sell all of them to Chen Shuo, and Chen Shuo cannot afford it now.

But he could, buy almost 10 percent of the shares.

With this equity, combined with Internet resources, Mimi Pictures can almost be considered a giant in the entertainment industry.

This is what he came here for today. Now that he has reached a conclusion, Chen Shuo will not stay any longer.

"Are you really not going to take a few with you?"

Principal Wang hugged a few female internet celebrities and asked with a smile: "When they see you, they are like wolves seeing meat. If you take a few of them away, they will definitely serve you with all their might at night."

"I've been abstaining from sex recently, I'll definitely do it next time."

Chen Shuo waved his hand to decline. After walking out of the nightclub, he called Fang Keli and asked her to book the earliest flight to the capital tomorrow.

When doing things, you must be quick and decisive. If you procrastinate, you will fail sooner or later.

The next day

Chen Shuo arrived at Wanda’s head office in the capital.

After leading Fang Keli and Zhao Qiner upstairs, the Wanda executive who came out to receive them led Chen Shuo to the lounge.

"Boss Shuo, our Boss Wang has too many people to meet recently. Please take a rest here for a while. I will take you there as soon as the meeting with Boss Wang is over."

Of course Chen Shuo made the best of it and sat down comfortably. There was food and drinks in the lounge, and if he really wanted to eat, he could order food and have the canteen prepare it for him.

"Then why not try Wanda's cafeteria? I heard that the vegetables here are all grown on their own farm, and they raise their own cattle and sheep."

Chen Shuo ordered five dishes and a soup. After waiting for less than half an hour, someone brought the food over on a food cart.

Just after eating a bowl of rice, the executive came back and said, "Boss Shuo, Boss Wang wants you to come over."

Chen Shuo put down the empty bowl, picked up the mouthwash and went to the bathroom, then swaggered into Mr. Wang's office.

When he first met Lao Wang, Chen Shuo felt that he was thinner than he had remembered. It seemed that what had happened recently was really very exhausting.

Come to think of it, he is, after all, in his sixties.

"Chen Shuo, right? Hello, nice to meet you."

When Old Wang, who was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, saw Chen Shuo, his eyes showed scrutiny and surprise. This young man in front of him, who looked to be in his early twenties, could come to his office to discuss investing in a cinema chain.

Think about your own
"Hello, Mr. Wang. I've long heard of you." Chen Shuo shook hands with Old Wang.

"Come, sit down."

Lao Wang led Chen Shuo to the sofa and, while serving tea, he looked at Chen Shuo and said, "Little Chen, how old are you this year?"

"It's the twenty-second after the Chinese New Year."

"."

Lao Wang held the tea bowl in his hand, but put it down before he even put it to his mouth. He smiled and shook his head, "Ah, it really is the world of young people now. An old guy like me can't keep up with the times. But you, you are too young."

Chen Shuo said modestly: "It's just luck."

"Is everyone at home okay?"

"Everything is fine. My parents are in good health and my sister is growing up healthily."

Lao Wang nodded and said with emotion: "Family is the most important thing. Your parents have raised you very well. Your little sister must be the apple of everyone's eye, but don't spoil her too much. Just think of me as an elder saying something too much, don't take it as an offense."

"That won't happen."

Chen Shuo smiled and said, "Educating children is the top priority for the family."

Old Wang nodded with a smile. No matter how difficult his situation was now, he could not show any anxious look in front of Chen Shuo, a young man in his twenties. After decades of ups and downs in the world, he had reached the state of not showing his emotions on his face.

Chen Shuo was not in a hurry to talk about business, so he just chatted.

To be honest, if you chat with a business tycoon like Lao Wang, you can learn something.

Even if he didn't learn anything, listening to him talk about his past years, especially the methods he used to deal with certain difficult situations, was also very beneficial to Chen Shuo.

In his previous life, he lived to less than 30 years old. He was able to make money largely due to good luck and some talent. The business environment in Minnesota is also the best in the country, so Chen Shuo has not encountered many bad things. Although the competition among peers is dirty, he is also cautious.

After all, the worst that can happen is that we die together. Nowadays, who doesn't get involved in some shit?

Chen Shuo picked up the teacup and looked at Lao Wang: "Boss Wang must be very busy recently. It's really hard for him to take time out to see a junior like me."

"Recently, many people have come to me for talks, most of them came to me on their own. I have sold 100 billion yuan worth of cultural tourism projects and dozens of hotels, which is almost billion yuan. This is billion yuan. It won't be difficult to get through this period."

Lao Wang waved his hands, still with his momentum: "My son should have briefly told you that the reason he came to you to discuss the cinema business is that he values ​​the resources you have at hand. I also have assets overseas, and I have heard that your overseas video platform has a great market."

"Plus, the works your film company has produced over the past year, including the films currently in preparation, are very good to me."

"So if you want to invest in a cinema chain, I think it's a win-win situation. In the future, when it comes to scheduling films and other matters, we will of course also tilt resources towards our shareholders."

That's so true.

Chen Shuo now only has online resources. To put it bluntly, he has nothing offline except the office building under construction.

"Because Mr. Wang thinks highly of me, will he give me a discount on the price?" Chen Shuo asked.

After listening to this, Lao Wang laughed a few times and said, "Okay, okay, I also like to be straightforward. Let's talk quickly. You go back and evaluate it first, and then we can compare the prices."

A pure entertainment company certainly cannot afford to pay so much money. The only companies that have real money in the market today are still Internet companies.

"How about 60 billion for 20% of the shares?" Lao Wang gave the price directly.

This price is cheap, which means that Lao Wang is still thinking about making a comeback.

Chen Shuo simply stretched out his hand.

"Deal." (End of chapter)
