King of Capital

Winter nights are long and filled with cold fog.

The next morning, the snow had cleared and the sun shone through the white mist, filling the courtyard. Chen Duling, in her pajamas, stood in a daze under the corridor with a cup of coffee in her hand, occasionally casting her eyes towards the third courtyard behind the main hall.

A guest stayed overnight last night. It seemed to be Mr. Xie. There was a big entourage coming in and out, and it took a long time for the guests to calm down.

"Good morning, I must have disturbed you last night."

Song Anli was also wearing only pajamas and walked out of the bar room with a mug in her hand.

Chen Duling smiled sheepishly: "Fortunately, I went to bed late because I was memorizing the lines."

"What script?"

"It's a modern urban movie. I'm auditioning now, but I don't know if I'll be chosen."

Song Anli frowned: "Didn't you tell the director about the movie version of Love O2O?"

Chen Duling was speechless. Her agent kept telling her to prepare well for the second round of auditions because the competition for Angelababy to play the leading female role was very fierce.

The starting point for the heroine of a movie adapted from a novel is very high. Then, she will play the heroine of another movie adapted from a novel. She will have a unique ecological niche in the circle, and youth movie scripts adapted from novels will come to her actively in the future.

Such an opportunity is very rare and we must cherish it and take it seriously. It turns out that I was just trying to scare her.

Chen Duling was in a very happy mood as she sipped her coffee. It was good to spend more time with the big boss!
Yesterday, the Jingdong lady who played mahjong until the evening left first. After dinner, her boss and Mr. Song went to the study and closed the door to chat alone. No one paid any attention to her.

She was about to leave like this and was on her way to book a flight back to the crew for tomorrow, but her agent called her immediately after learning about the situation and scolded her for being rude and ignorant of the ways of the world.

So he turned back halfway. The boss was still chatting with Mr. Song, and he couldn't just barge into the study to say goodbye in person, so he had to rest for the night in the guest room prepared by the nanny.

Encouraged by the unexpected surprise, Chen Duling showed her enthusiasm and took the initiative to find a topic to talk about: "The weather in Beijing is so warm after the snow, it feels like the beginning of autumn."

"There is heating in the yard, but it will be cold outside," Song Anli reminded.

Chen Duling was surprised and puzzled: "How can the open-air yard be heated and insulated?"

"There's floor heating in the yard, electric heating in the corridor, and turning on the gas supply is somewhat helpful."

Song Anli briefly explained, thought for a moment, pointed to the waterscape in the corner of the courtyard, and added: "There is snow in the sky, fish swimming in the water, and bamboo and green plants. At first glance, it seems nothing surprising and effortless. Some southern regions are naturally like this."

"It's the same with this courtyard. It doesn't feel particularly hot in the courtyard. It's a normal temperature for wearing pajamas."

She paused for a moment and concluded in a light tone, "But in fact, if you turn off the constant temperature system, the ornamental fish will quickly slow down their swimming speed without noticing, and then gradually become stiff and frozen.

"If you're interested, you can do an observation experiment. The thermostatic system switch is in the utility room."

Chen Duling is not an environmentalist or animal protectionist, but she was confused by her expression and tone and didn't know how to respond: "...No need, these ornamental fish look quite precious."

"You are more precious. Wear more clothes when you leave later, so you don't catch a cold."

Song Anli smiled, walked slowly through the main hall in her cotton slippers, and went to the third courtyard at the back.

Chen Duling couldn't help but tighten her clothes, picked up the cup and brought it to her mouth, frowning. The hot coffee was bitter and watery, stimulating the acidity in her stomach, and suppressed the little pride that had just quietly risen in her heart.

However, the director and acting teacher of the crew all praised her for her good image and acting talent. The reason why she made her debut in "The Left Ear" was that the screenwriter was purely based on her appearance and she had to be the heroine.

The agent is nasty all the time, as if she is terrible.

"Hey, you, you are the one..."

Chen Duling's thoughts were scattered when suddenly a delicate and familiar-looking woman walked out from the three courtyards behind.

I subconsciously opened my mouth to say hello but got stuck halfway, my brain froze and I only remembered that he was a supporting role in a recent popular TV series, but I couldn't remember his specific name.

The other person's face turned red, and without waiting for her to finish, he nodded softly and said hello, then quickly passed by and disappeared.

"Uh, you guys?"

Chen Duling stood there feeling extremely awkward. Just as she came to her senses, two more people walked towards her.

He was wrapped tightly in a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask. He calmly ignored the greeting she initiated. His behavior showed the composure of an old artist, and his figure and demeanor seemed vaguely familiar.

One, one, and another.

Chen Duling was stunned, her red lips slightly parted as she stood there in a daze, counting to six in her mind, and finally realized that the person who came in and out last night was not the entourage!
"Hello."

The sixth person who came out last was only wearing a baseball cap. He smiled friendly and said, "You must be Xiao Chen, right? They are having breakfast in the back, aren't you going?"

"OK, thanks."

Chen Duling nodded numbly and stupidly. She seemed, apparently, not that bad.

…………

"Why does Xiaotian want to see her?"

There were four guest rooms in a row of rooms in the back of the third courtyard, with two cross-courtyards of dozens of square meters each in the east and west. Song Anli kept the west cross-courtyard for herself, and the east cross-courtyard naturally belonged to Xie Jingxing.

He sat in front of a large rosewood desk in his bathrobe, yawning lazily as he ate his porridge.

"She might be a little curious. She didn't say more than ten sentences to Xiao Chen yesterday." Song Anli cleared herself first.

Concubine Pei was even more open-minded: "How about letting Dudu go back to school to study and calm down?"

"How many years will she sign the agency contract for?" Xie Jingxing asked thoughtfully.

Princess Pei said without hesitation: "Seven years." "You will return to filming in the future. How can you hide your popular young actress for no reason?"

Xie Jing Xing was too lazy to waste words and warned bluntly: "You two don't accompany Xiao Tian to make trouble."

"I am allocating some financial assets. I want to support your apprentice's career. If you are unhappy, I will withdraw my investment." Concubine Pei began to act coquettishly.

Yesterday, the three of them not only reached an agreement on the investment plan for LeTV Pictures, but also jointly invested in expanding the scale of "Tian'an Investment".

She invested 2 million yuan, Song Anli followed up with 1 million yuan, and Xiaotian matched the funds at a 1:1 ratio. In the blink of an eye, the total amount of funds doubled to 9 million yuan.

Xie Jingxing didn't doubt their ability to manage funds, but with three women and four WeChat groups chatting, it was hard to say what kind of trouble they would cause.

"Since you have money, sign this investment agreement." Xie Jingxing reached out and pulled out a folder from the corner of the table.

LeTV's letter of intent for financing, a private placement of 5% equity to raise 15 billion yuan, Princess Pei took a quick look at the general content and smiled happily.

Song Anli was still wondering yesterday whether she could get a piece of LeTV's main cake. Now the answer is in front of her: there is no share for her, but there is nothing to say.

With the implementation of the investment plan of 'Nanke Holdings', we have already gained enough benefits.

If we simply count the shares through the equity structure, she holds 6.12% of Kujiji Studios and 9.2% of Pony.com. After the financing is completed, the combined value of these two shares is RMB 8.5 million.

Including the income from Tianan Investment and other assets, her personal net worth is firmly over 10 billion.

In comparison, Pei Fei suffered a loss in the transaction with 'Nanke Holdings', which held a total of 58.87% of the shares of Kujiji Studio and 22.14% of the shares of Xiaoma Pentium, with a total value of 35.9 billion.

When she first started dating Xie Jingxing, she was about the same age as Xiao Chen. Now, it has been almost four years and she is pregnant with a son.

If you suffer the slightest loss, you will get excess compensation before you even have time to cry or make a fuss.

The return on investment in four years is more than a thousand times. If you don’t know the financial guru Huang Xiaoming or the business talent Ren Quan, don’t get involved. Even Buffett has to stand at attention and toast in front of him, asking Sister Fei to teach you the principles of investment.

"You invested in LeEco Pictures using 'Nanke Holdings' as the main body."

Song Anli laughed at herself in her heart, and when she heard Xie Jingxing's words, she perked up and followed his thoughts: "Are we going to focus on 'Nanke Holdings' in the future?"

"You will serve as the chairman of Nanke Holdings. You can make your own arrangements for Xiaoma Pentium. Kujiji Studio will remain independent and only be responsible for financial control."

Xie Jing Xing said as he looked at Concubine Pei: "Whether you can listen to me or not, I will only say this once. As of today, it seems that she is more suitable for management than you. If you don't want to be too tired, don't compete with her."

"No, I've always been obedient to her." Concubine Pei pouted innocently.

Song Anli remained silent, feeling both happy and worried. This was the meaning of Nan Ke Holdings.

If Kujiji Studio and Xiaoma Pentium want to grow and develop, they are bound to need to open up to external rounds of financing, and Xie's capital holdings will be gradually diluted and dispersed.

In the future, Nanke Holdings will be positioned to concentrate its actual control over equity and serve as the main body of Xie’s capital to control the entire layout of the pan-entertainment content production chain.

Internally, between her and Concubine Pei, other women may emerge in the future, such as Yuan Jin.

The pan-entertainment industry chain is extremely long, with numerous horizontal subdivisions in each link, making it perfect for raising lovers and illegitimate children.

After all, it was impossible to imagine the scene where Xie Jingxing would allow a lover to hold large shares in Yunhe Logistics and Xinda E. That was too horrifying.

So in short, women can fight each other for their own benefit, and all their interests are tied to Nan Ke Holdings. If they fight too hard and destroy this entity, no one will benefit.

Song Anli is in charge of Nanke Holdings. In public, she is the person in charge of the pan-entertainment empire, and in private, she is the housekeeper of the women. It is a difficult job to do but very tempting at the same time.

"In the more than two months from September to now, the pan-entertainment layout formulated at the beginning of the year has been fully integrated."

Xie Jing Xing finished a bowl of porridge, stood up and walked out: "I still have a lot of things to do next. The position of LeTV's president is vacant. I have been thinking about it for a long time but have no idea."

"Song Anli, don't try to please me. Show me how much you want it." He walked out without any hesitation.

"Tsk, it's always like this, you just don't recognize me when you pull up your pants."

Concubine Pei was used to it and didn't care at all. She was now invincible because she was harmless to humans and animals.

After finishing a poached egg slowly, she picked up the milk in front of her and said in a dilemma: "How about you help me drink it, so that my son can recognize you as his godmother."

"Shit luck."

Song Anli gulped down a glass of milk and looked at her with disdain.

She initially wanted LeTV Pictures, and Concubine Pei wanted Huaer Pictures, all of which were based on the dismemberment and splitting of LeTV.

When Xie Jingxing used an operation that no one could understand to cleanly and efficiently kill Jia Yueting and forcibly split the entire entertainment ecosystem for reorganization, their calculations naturally failed.

LeTV Pictures should not have been targeted at the beginning. This asset is high-quality but not core enough. Pei Fei aimed at Huaer Pictures and accidentally hit the core of LeTV's platform.

Being good at calculating but short-sighted, her recent actions disappointed Xie Jingxing. Song Anli calmed down and summarized the problem.

"Ugh, did you add sugar to that cup?" Concubine Pei covered her mouth and retched.

Song Anli retorted, "Add angelica and duhuo."

"You replenish blood?"

"You don't have to drink if you don't like it."

"Psycho! I love drinking so much!" Concubine Pei scolded. (End of this chapter)
