Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 201 Worry-free Media
After being stunned for a moment, He Jing and Lin Jiayun finally couldn't help but speak.

He Jing was the first to speak, with an even more urgent look on her face: "Why give it to me? I don't want it."

Although it only cost Gu Heng 300 million to acquire Xinghe Media, its actual value is 700 million. Fifty percent of the shares is 350 million. As Gu Heng's woman, it is understandable that Lin Jiayun accepted this money.

But who am I?
Why should you accept such a large gift?

She was a smart woman and knew Gu Heng's intention very well. He just wanted to spend money in advance to shake her heart.
But even though it was clear, not everything in this world can be controlled by oneself. There is a saying that money can move people's hearts. He Jing admitted that she was indeed moved.
She is still in a state of inner vacillation and unclear bottom line.
If you really accept Gu Heng's gift, you can say that you have completely fallen for Gu Heng's money.
Now He Jing can still refuse, which means that her bottom line is still there.
As for Lin Jiayun, her thoughts were very simple.
As long as she serves Gu Heng well, it doesn't really matter whether he gives her the company shares or not. 350 million may seem like a lot, but Gu Heng has spent one or two million in cash on her in the past few months. Compared to the money Gu Heng gives her, she really doesn't care about the company's profits.
He also refused, "I don't want it either. I don't know how to manage a company. Shooting short videos and live streaming is already my limit. If you ask me to manage a company, I will definitely go crazy."

Gu Heng couldn't help laughing after hearing their answers and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to?"

"No."

"No."

Two responses came one after the other. Although they were delicate, they were also firm.
Seeing this, Gu Heng did not force it. Just don't give up. It's just a small company with dozens of people, and it's just an investment for fun. Anyone with a few years of experience can manage it. It can barely have a revenue of two or three million, so it's not a waste of 300 million.
What Gu Heng didn't expect was that these two women would actually give up the temptation of several million.
Zhang Yang felt a little disappointed when he heard the three people talking recklessly.
The company that I have painstakingly run for so many years can earn several million every year, and I usually treat it as a treasure. However, the focus of the current internet celebrity market has shifted, and now people make money by monetizing traffic, and the only way to make money is to do live streaming and sell goods, or to become a broadcaster.

The operating model of Xinghe Media, which relies on advertising fees and anchors' share, is no longer very profitable, and its performance has been declining year by year, otherwise he would not be willing to sell it.
As a result, the company that he regarded as his treasure was acquired by Gu Heng at a low price of 300 million.
If it was just this, it would be fine. After all, Gu Heng is awesome now. If I lose a few million, it would be just like making up for my previous blunder.
But he never expected it.
Gu Heng had just agreed on the price with him, and then he wanted to give the company to He Jing and Lin Jiayun. Moreover, He Jing and Lin Jiayun actually looked down on his company.
Only the world in which I am hurt is achieved
Gu Heng also saw the bitterness on Zhang Yang's face, but he was not interested in guessing his thoughts, so he spoke again: "I will have someone come to buy it in the next two days, you should prepare some bills and reports of the company yourself."

Just as Gu Heng finished speaking, the people from Wuyou Media who had left earlier returned to the office. The leader smiled respectfully and said to Gu Heng, "Boss Gu, I just spoke to Boss Lei on the phone."

"Oh? What did your Mr. Lei say?"

Gu Heng responded casually and asked back.

This attitude is very disrespectful, but some people are just cheapskates. When they are looked down upon by their peers, dignity becomes extremely important. Even if they make a scene, they will prove themselves to others.
But if they are looked down upon by people of a higher class, not only will they not get angry, but even if they are hit on the left cheek, they will smile and stretch out their right cheek to be hit. After being hit, they will even ask considerately, "Does your hand hurt?"

It is obvious that the Wuyou Media team in front of us is such a person.

Since Gu Heng entered the office, he had never respected them at all, but they were not angry at all. Instead, as time went on, the more Gu Heng showed his attitude, the more respectful they became.
Hearing Gu Heng's question, the representative of Wuyou Media quickly responded: "Our CEO Lei said that we have given up on this acquisition.

but"

When Gu Heng heard the word "but", he raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what? You guys are still planning to ask me to compensate you for your losses?"

"No, no, Mr. Gu, you misunderstood.

It was our CEO Lei who wanted to invite you to be a guest at Wuyou Media, because he was not very clear about the dispute between you and Xinghe Media, and was afraid that you might misunderstand, so he wanted to treat you to a meal and apologize to you at the same time. "

Ok?
Gu Heng glanced at him suspiciously, trying to read something from his face.
But the representatives of Wuyou Media showed nothing but respect on their faces.
Something is wrong.
Something is so wrong.
Although Gu Heng's target this time was mostly Zhang Yang, Wuyou Media must have suffered losses anyway.

Let’s not talk about other things. For a multi-million dollar acquisition, at least there must be planning, research, and a series of other issues, right? The loss of money may not be great, but the loss of time is inevitable.
As a result, as the party that suffered the loss, not only was he not angry at all, but he invited me to be his guest with a smile on his face and even apologized to me?

What's the point?
Although Gu Heng had learned some business rules after a period of study, he was wrong this time.
In the business world, profit is always the most important thing.

Gu Heng's strong intervention did cause Wuyou Media to suffer some losses, but this loss was nothing for an MCN organization as large as Wuyou Media.
But what about Gu Heng?

He was the boss of a rising star company in the capital industry, and he was not just a small boss. He was a super boss who invested 30 billion in his first project and spent more than 60 billion in private spending in Europe.
The first half of 2024 hasn't even ended yet, and Gu Heng has already spent nearly billion
There is such a super boss. Even if there are not many overlapping interests, who in the business world would not want to get to know him?
Sometimes the rules of business and politics are actually similar.

They all make many friends and few enemies. Only people with cerebral palsy would walk with their heads held high all day long, acting like they are the boss and I am second to them.
Although the representative of Wuyou Media didn't know what Gu Heng was thinking, he saw that Gu Heng didn't say anything and just stared at him suspiciously, so he could only speak again: "I wonder when you are free, Mr. Gu? I can also report to our Mr. Lei.
Of course, Mr. Gu, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have time. We also know that you must be very busy every day. "

The representative of Wuyou Media, who had already prepared himself for rejection, suddenly saw Gu Heng standing up.

"No need to wait, I have it right now. You can tell your CEO Lei that I'm going to visit you right now."

Gu Heng is a media worker with two years of experience, so he is well aware of the value of "Wuyou Media" in the MCN industry. As an MCN agency that has always relied on Douyin and has been deeply involved in one platform, Wuyou Media's influence is second only to the current broadcast leader "Three Sheep".

As for why the valuation of Three Sheep is 20 billion, but that of 10 Media is less than billion, not even a fraction of that? On the one hand, Three Sheep is simply exaggerated by netizens who know nothing about it. They say that the valuation is billion, but even if the actual value is reduced by times, it is still inflated.
On the other hand, the profit difference
The annual net profit of Sanzhiyang exceeds RMB 8 million, and the tax paid is more than RMB 2 million. Although Wuyou Media seems to be able to share the same status, the profitability is too different.
Capital has a very clear limit for so-called valuation. Either you are like Alibaba in the 2000s, which has been losing money but has an unlimited future, or you have to have strong profitability.

The ceiling of MCN agencies is only so high. There can be no breakthroughs, let alone a future. They can only rely on profitability.

It is precisely because of this that there is a huge gap between the valuations of the two.
However, Gu Heng's interest in Wuyou Media was not due to the value of the company, but because of a sentence on the Internet.
There are tens of thousands of beautiful women on Tik Tok, and Wuyou Media accounts for half of them.
In the past, he had no chance and no ability to go to Wuyou Media to confirm this matter. Now that he has the time, Gu Heng will certainly not miss it.
Seeing that the representative of Wuyou Media was silent, Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Can't we go now?"

"Yes, of course! It is our honor that you can come to visit us at Wuyou Media!"

Gu Heng was too lazy to listen to their inexplicable flattery, and waved his hand and said, "Then stop talking nonsense and just go."

After saying that, he walked out of the office first.
On the other side, Lei Yibin, who was holding a routine meeting in the conference room, immediately stopped the meeting and stood up after receiving a call from the employee who had just invited Gu Heng to the Wuyou Media headquarters.

"Let's end today's meeting here. All senior management personnel on duty should make preparations. A distinguished guest will be visiting us soon."

Although these company executives were somewhat confused when they heard Lei Yibin's words, no one raised any objections.

no way.
Although Lei Yibin in front of him is not good-looking, he is the only dictator in the entire Wuyou Media.

Not only does he control 99% of the company's shares, but he also has a very high sensitivity to the market. The reason why Wuyou Media has developed into a leading MCN agency in less than 4 years is largely due to his decisions.

It is no exaggeration to say that this group of executives are merely executives and do not have much authority at all. Of course, they will obey Lei Yibin's words.

Just as many executives stood up to prepare, Lei Yibin stopped the director of the artist department and instructed, "By the way, notify all the female internet celebrities in our company who have good "performance" and ask them to come down to greet the guests together."

The so-called internet celebrity artists with good "performance" are just a subtext.

It just refers to those beautiful internet celebrities.
As a company that produces many beautiful Internet celebrities, beautiful women are the specialty of Wuyou Media. In the past, when some big guys came to visit Wuyou Media, they also did the same thing. It can be regarded as an unspoken rule.
It's not forced either.
Most of those who are willing to become internet celebrities want to become famous overnight and then make a lot of money.

If you can really win the favor of those big guys, it will not only be good for the company, but also for those internet celebrities.

It can only be said that it is a win-win-win situation. The boss gets the beauty, the company gets the connections, and the internet celebrity gets the money.

The director of the artist department was slightly stunned when he heard this, but quickly nodded in agreement. However, after thinking for a while, he still spoke up: "Cheng Yuxin, Huang Yumeng, Liu Siyao and others are shooting a video together. Should we invite them too?"

"Call them. Call them all."

"Okay, I understand. I'll let them know right away."

After saying that, the director of the artist department left the meeting room without further delay and went straight to make arrangements according to Lei Yibin's instructions.

As I walked, I was secretly wondering how important this "distinguished guest" was. The so-called big shots in the past did not have such a grand ceremony.

Today, even the company's top cash cow was called out. You have to know that there are only 14 Internet celebrities with more than million fans in Wuyou Media. Almost every one of them is the company's treasure and has a lot of autonomy. Even a very courageous boss like Lei Yibin usually smiles at them and asks for their opinions in advance whenever he wants them to do something. But today, he didn't even ask for their opinions and directly asked several people to stop working and come down to greet the guests.
The only explanation is.
The big guy who came to visit today is definitely not ordinary.
With this in mind, the director of the artist department was more cautious and planned to emphasize the importance of visiting the boss when notifying him, so that no one would offend the boss.
Although the Internet celebrities under the company are all experienced and cunning, and it is highly unlikely that such a thing will happen, if it does happen, the biggest person responsible will be himself.
30 minutes later, led by two ordinary business cars, a blue Bentley sped into the headquarters park of Wuyou Media.

Under the Robot Center building, Lei Yibin was standing at the door waiting with nearly ten executives and twenty or thirty female internet celebrities under his management.
After Gu Heng got out of the car, he was stunned by the huge scene.
I shouldn't have had any interaction with Lei Yibin, right?

Wow, you take yourself so seriously?

Looking at the huge welcoming crowd in front, there should be about forty or fifty people, right?
As for the second reaction, it is pleasing to the eye.
There are tens of thousands of beauties on TikTok, and half of them are carefree beauties. Although this statement is exaggerated, it still has a high gold content.
Especially in the city of Hangzhou, there have been many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and Wuyou's Internet celebrities are selected from among the beauties, not to mention their looks. At a glance, there are several girls whose looks are as good as Lin Jiayun and He Jing.
Some are even prettier than He Jing and Lin Jiayun.
And now it is summer, the season when girls' outfits are most attractive to boys
At a glance, there are dozens of long white legs. I have never experienced this feeling before, and I really can't describe it.
No wonder so many people on the Internet envy the boss of Wuyou Media
Even Gu Heng was a little envious
If you stay in this kind of environment every day, you can live a lot longer, right?
