The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 146 The car door is locked, don’t even think about getting out!
For the general public, Zhang Chen's donation naturally caused a lot of emotion.

In the past, they thought that the international superstar was rich, but they didn’t expect him to be so rich.

Someone has done the math.

Just this year, according to publicly available information and public speculation.

Zhang Chen signed a two-year global endorsement contract with Coca-Cola, totaling $2 million.

Although other types of endorsement contracts are not as valuable as Coca-Cola, they should also be able to bring him tens of millions of dollars.

Since Zhang Chen debuted in 97, he has released four albums in Chinese and four in English. According to official statistics, the total global sales of Zhang Chen's albums have exceeded 4 million copies to date.

Then the album sales share and copyright income would be at least 6 million.

It is unclear how much Zhang Chen’s appearance fee is, but it is said that the highest ticket price for each concert was once as high as 10 US dollars. After so many concerts, Zhang Chen’s total concert revenue will not be less than million US dollars.

You wouldn’t know until you do the math, and you’ll be really shocked. By this calculation, Zhang Chen’s net worth may have already exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

You should know that the number one on the mainland rich list just announced this year has a total personal asset of only 85 billion RMB.

Tianya Forum
I am the Left Protector: I wonder who dares to say that we can’t host the Olympic Games well.

I am the Right Protector: The boss is domineering!

Xiaohua: How come I didn’t know he was so rich?
Oh, that’s great: Brother Chen, please take me with you!
Feifei Feifei: Others make so much money from singing, why am I still so poor?

Hope for a Happy Ending: Judging from the tone of the above people, is this Zhang Chen’s friend?
Xun Wukong: Tell your boss that I want to hang out with him!

The outside world is in turmoil, with everyone discussing how rich Zhang Chen is, and the debate over who is the richest man is also one of the hotly debated topics.

As for whether Zhang Chen is the richest man, Hurun has no idea how much assets Zhang Chen has.

His company is not listed and has never disclosed financial reports.

At best, we can roughly estimate his net worth based on the Coca-Cola contract and his album sales.

As September arrived, Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei entered their senior year of high school together. However, since last year, Zhang Chen had completely disappeared from his classmates' sight.

"Brother~"

On the first weekend after school started, a frequent visitor came to Zhang Chen's house. As soon as this frequent visitor opened his mouth, Zhang Chen got goose bumps.

"Speak normally." Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei with a displeased look on her face.

"You can donate 2 million yuan, why do you only give me 100 yuan as New Year's gift every year!"

Liu Yifei used to think that New Year’s money was just for good luck, and it didn’t matter how much money it was. She herself didn’t have much of a concept about money.

But recently I was shocked to hear that Zhang Chen had donated so much.

Although the money donated was not hers, for some reason she felt more distressed than anyone else.

In her eyes, Zhang Chen’s smile on TV seemed like a forced smile.

"The money from the sale of your album isn't enough for your pocket money?"

How could Zhang Chen not take care of the little girl's pocket money? Giving her money directly was too cliché. The total sales of the album he released for her last time were 110 million. Taking into account some copyright fees, the commission that Chenguang Warner gave to Liu Yifei was also small, so the money she got should not be less than 500 million.

"The money is all with my mom. I have never seen a bigger note than 50 yuan."

This must be a lie. How could Liu Yifei have never seen a banknote larger than 50 yuan? She just wanted to say that her pocket money did not exceed 50 yuan.

"Aunt Liu did a great job."

"But you donated so much money, do you still have any money to spend?" Liu Yifei remembered the purpose of coming here.

"Oh, I'm broke, I don't have a penny left."

Zhang Chen looked up at the sky with a sad face. The September sun was a bit dazzling and he accidentally shed tears.

"Ah? Don't cry, can I give you some pocket money?"

Crying? Zhang Chen felt the moisture on his face. It seemed to be from the sunlight.
He wanted to wipe his tears, but when he heard that there was money to be made, he put his hands that were originally used to wipe his tears on both sides of his nose, squeezed them hard, and two more drops came out.

"I was just worrying about how to pay Xiao Xue and the others. They don't need to give too much. I still have some money left." After saying that, he stretched out a hand and spread it in front of Liu Yifei.

Zhang Chen didn't look back, but he heard rustling sounds behind him.

Not long after, he felt something thin in his hand.

Zhang Chen turned his head slightly and glanced at the thing in his hand, which looked like a bank card.

"This is what I got from my mom. It seems to be my album income. I don't know how much money is in it. You can use it first."

"what?"

Zhang Chen was dumbfounded when he saw the sincere look on the little girl's face.

He just wanted to cheat some of the girl's pocket money, so why did Liu Yifei spend all her family's savings?
"Isn't it enough? I don't have any left either." Liu Yifei asked cautiously.

Zhang Chen did not answer, but silently wiped away the tears that he had forced out, then put the bank card that Liu Yifei handed to him into his pocket.

"Do you want to borrow from others? If it's not enough, I'll ask my mother for some." Liu Yifei asked anxiously as she watched Zhang Chen's back as he walked towards the living room.

"That's enough. You've become a shareholder." Zhang Chen waved his hand with his back to her.

The reason why he was sitting in the yard just now was because he was recalling something.

What was the price of NetEase's stock before it was suspended? He was looking for the best time to buy shares.

2 million US dollars, in fact, has some key impression of the stock market trend, it is too easy to make it back.

The question he was considering just now was that he was about to be on the pig-slaughtering list, so would it be too conspicuous if he became a shareholder of NetEase?

Although the $2 million has been donated, it still cannot stop the covetousness of some jealous people.

If you do something that is praised by the whole country, then they will have higher expectations of you.

NetEase started out as an online game company, and it also owns shares in Penguin, so it is also closely related to online games.

If this continues, they will become the public enemy of all parents in the country.

However, opening Liu Yifei's US stock account is a problem.

It seems that Liu Xiaoli's authorization is still needed.

"Xixi, call your mother home for dinner."

There is no way around it. This matter still needs Liu Xiaoli's consent. Not to mention the issue of spending such a large sum of money, the issue of authorization also needs to be considered.

After receiving a call from her daughter, Liu Xiaoli hurried over.

She never expected that her daughter would give all the money she earned to Zhang Chen.
The little girl also said on the phone that maybe there was not enough money, so she asked her mother to come over.

But wouldn’t Liu Xiaoli know whether Zhang Chen still has money?
She was not very clear about the other things, but just for the employee dormitory that Zhang Chen rented to Chenguang Entertainment, Chenguang Entertainment needs to pay more than 200 million in rent every year.

Not to mention that Chenguang Entertainment now independently develops at least one TV series every year and invests in more than three TV series.

The revenue of each TV series is at least tens of millions.

This is only in China. She is not very clear about Zhang Chen's income abroad, but she is aware of the horror of 2 million album sales.

If there is really no money, it could only be that the cash flow may be temporarily dried up.

Maybe there is another possibility.
"Chenchen, did you lose money in the U.S. stock market?"

After listening to her daughter's words and thinking of this year's stock market crash, Liu Xiaoli guessed that Zhang Chen might have invested all his money in the stock market, and now the stock market has collapsed, and Zhang Chen has lost too much.

"Ah? Why would Aunt Liu think so?"

Zhang Chen was organizing his words, thinking about how to convince Liu Xiaoli to open a US stock account for Liu Yifei.

When Liu Xiaoli suddenly asked him this, he didn't know how to answer.

If the answer is that he lost money, how can he convince Liu Xiaoli to open an account for Liu Yifei.

If you didn't lose money, then what do you want Liu Yifei's money for?
Zhang Chen was caught in a dilemma.

"Aunt Liu, it's actually like this"

After thinking for a while, I decided that it was best to be honest.

The worst that could happen is that Liu Yifei would beat him up.

It is better not to hide anything in important matters.

So, in the next half hour, Zhang Chen explained to Liu Yifei the operating conditions of NetEase and its current stock price.

As for what the public says about not leading others to trade stocks?
It's just a few million dollars, if Liu Yifei really lost it, the worst that can happen is that I can make it up to her myself.

"So, you took Xixi's money to buy the bottom of this company's stock?" Liu Xiaoli didn't understand stocks, but she knew that a lot of money would be needed this time, so she was still a little worried.

“It’s not a bargain hunting, but the company’s stock price is 5 yuan now. How much lower can it go?”

5 cents, but the unit is US dollars. Of course, there are stocks priced lower than this, but that did not prevent him from using this reason to convince Liu Xiaoli.

"That's true. Besides, you've helped Xixi earn all the money over the years. You can do whatever you want with it. Don't worry that I'll think too much."

Liu Xiaoli also figured out that all the money in the card her daughter gave to Zhang Chen was earned by Zhang Chen.

If Zhang Chen really lost everything, what else could she say?

As for whether my daughter would cry after losing money.

Liu Xiaoli felt that it was Zhang Chen's business.

Whoever makes someone cry should be comforted.

"That's it, Chenchen, you take care of this matter. If you need me to sign any documents, just come to me." After Liu Xiaoli figured it out, she no longer hesitated.

"Really? What if I lose money? This is all my pocket money."

Liu Yifei sat next to him and listened for a long time. She understood the whole story and knew that Zhang Chen still had money, a lot of it.

When Liu Yifei learned the news, her first reaction was to get her own small treasury back.

He is rich but still covets my little money. How shameless!
"What does a child need so much money for? Confiscate it." Zhang Chen stretched out his hand to push away someone's sneaky hand.

"Is it too late to regret now?" Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen pitifully.

"The car door is locked, don't even think about getting out!"

　I got up a little late today, so here is the first update. I will continue to work hard on writing!
