The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 309 Open the door and release the dog
This is already the second time.

Although Zhang Chen didn't expect everyone in the world to give him face.

However, Li Yanhong ignored the public relations requests of Chenguang Entertainment twice, so it is obvious that she regards Zhang Chen as a competitor.

Of course, it may also be the instruction of the major shareholder behind it.

Who are the shareholders behind Baidu?

Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that in June this year, eight investors including DFJ, Google, and Peninsula Capital invested a total of US$6 million in Baidu.

However, its largest shareholders are still Peninsula Capital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, two investment institutions from the United States.

In addition, Li Yanhong's AB share structure is enough for him to gain control of Baidu. It is only possible that he will listen to the opinions of some investment institutions on his shareholder list in order to obtain more support from these institutions before the IPO next year.

This is just speculation. If true, what is the purpose of these institutions?

"Morning Light Music, or CGT?"

"What did you say?"

Sun Fangping suddenly heard Zhang Chen mutter something and became curious.

"Oh, nothing. The most important thing now is to solve the current problem."

Zhang Chen came back to his senses but didn't explain anything.

The company's affairs have become much more complicated now, and my mother has already started thinking about her retirement, so there is no need for her to worry about this aspect.

"Then do you have any idea? If there is no solution, I will go find someone to help."

"Not yet, I'll handle it myself first, and you can find others if I can't do anything."

Zhang Chen didn't explain it in detail and just shrugged in the end.

With his mother backing him up, he really doesn't have to worry.

It’s not that Sun Fangping has any great abilities.

Although her mother has begun to fade out of the spotlight, she is still old and lives in the capital. Her son is the chairman of a leading domestic group company and an outstanding young man who is particularly popular among certain people, so Sun Fangping's influence is still there.

So when she has nothing to do, Sun Fangping will go shopping and have afternoon tea with some wives in the capital, and that's how the relationship came about.

Even though they are all "idle" people, the other halves of these idle people still have a say in certain aspects, and a few of them are special people.

For example, Sun Fangping and Zhang Chen have had a good relationship with their respected elders in the past two years.

Both of them are engaged in the music industry, and with Zhang Chen as the middleman, there are naturally a lot of topics to talk about.

"If you don't let me worry about other things, I won't worry about them. So how is Xixi doing?"

Sun Fangping suddenly started gossiping and stared at her son with a half-smile: "I saw that Xixi didn't wear proper clothes last night, what about you two?"

"The situation was urgent, and some extraordinary measures were used to call her out, so she didn't have time to change her clothes."

"Oh?" Sun Fangping perked up and asked excitedly, "Extraordinary measures? What extraordinary measures?"

Zhang Chen was speechless as he looked at his mother, who looked like she was eating melons. Before he could explain, the real person's voice came from behind: "Aunt Sun, my brother bullied me!"

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Zhang Chen turned around and saw Liu Yifei who had walked behind him. "Did you get enough sleep?"

"It's because of you that I didn't sleep last night."

"Hey, hey, hey, can you please not be ambiguous when speaking?"

"Hmm?" Liu Yifei tilted her head and asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"

Zhang Chen saw his mother trying to hold back her laughter and said helplessly, "No, no problem."

"Sissi, your mother wasn't disturbed last night, was she?"

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, Sun Fangping turned to ask Liu Yifei.

Almost every star was more or less frightened last night. Liu Xiaoli is a well-known middle-aged female star with strength and fame, and she is also an "idol" with many "beauty fans".

Thinking of this, Sun Fangping couldn't help but envy her best friend. She was in her forties or fifties but still looked like someone in her thirties. She was incredibly beautiful, and her unique temperament made her even more charming.

"Actually, apart from me and my brother, none of the other artists in Morning Light Entertainment were implicated."

"This is because, I forgot they all live in the Morning Light Community."

"Ah."

All the Chenguang stars, as long as they are in Yanjing, basically live in the Chenguang community.

Even those who have some assets, such as Fan Bingbing, choose to live here.

Because one good thing here is that everyone is family and can take care of each other.

Of course, it is impossible for all artists in the same company to live in harmony with each other. They will compete with each other secretly.

Among them, led by Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, they began to form two major "camps" in the Chenguang community.

In this case, they would not move out. If they lost this place close to other artists in the company, their status in the company would inevitably be damaged. Moreover, Liu Xiaoli, who has a special status among the artists in the company, also lives in Chenguang Community. If they are not stupid, they will choose to live in Chenguang Community.

This resulted in a situation in Yanjing where even though many people knew that Chen Guang’s artists all lived in the same place, they couldn’t find the door.

Unlike Zhang Chen’s courtyard house, Chenguang Community is positioned as a high-end community, so the security conditions are naturally very high.

The location of Zhang Chen's courtyard house has restrictions on building height, wall height and other safety measures, and there is no way to have as much room for development as in the Chenguang Community.

So when faced with the surging fans and reporters, Zhang Chen could only run away, while the Chenguang celebrity artists in the Chenguang community could lie safely in their beds at home and sleep soundly.

"Did your family suffer a great loss?"

When Sun Fangping asked this question, she didn't seem to care much.

She was really used to a life of luxury, so some of the losses were actually nothing. If she had to say what she was really worried about, she would be more worried about the plants that she had planted with her own hands.

"It's okay. It seems that only some decorations were lost. No one went into the building. Security was already in place at that time. The people who climbed over the wall have now been sent to the police station."

"What do you do with the people who are sent to the police station?"

"Tsk." Zhang Chen lay back, patted his head, and motioned Liu Yifei to massage his shoulders. "It's really hard to deal with."

The person was arrested, but how to deal with him was a problem.

Sometimes, being a star puts you in a passive position in some matters and you may be criticized from a moral high ground.

When the public does something bad to celebrities, if the celebrities take it seriously, some people will say that they are not generous enough and will not let it go.

This kind of thing still happens from time to time.

For example, if you meet someone at the airport and a passerby wants to take a photo with him/her, he/she will be accused of being a big shot if you refuse.

The general rhetoric is "It's just this and that, how stingy."

The same thing happened this time. According to normal procedures, it is not an exaggeration to sentence someone who breaks into a private house and takes his belongings for robbery, and the minimum sentencing standard for robbery is ten years.

But the key point is that Zhang Chen cannot "require" it to be done this way.

After all, they are his "fans". Doing this to his "family" would make his fans "heartbroken".

Don't doubt it, some people are just so fragile and some people are just so unreasonable.

But if we really let off those who cross the line, there will be more and more such people in the future. I always feel that Zhang Chen will let off their behavior, and their actions will become more and more excessive.

This is not the most troublesome thing. What is giving Zhang Chen the most headache now is
Revealed his wealth.
After the specifications, luxury, location and other details of this residence were exposed online, many people who hate the rich have appeared online.

This kind of thing is hard to explain.

Everyone knew he was rich, but no one knew exactly how much.

Now that people are rich to the point of extravagance, it is inevitable that many people who are still living in hardship will feel jealous.

Why do celebrities want to establish a frugal persona? Why do some people advertise that their cars are junked vans worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the ones they use are from more than ten years ago? Why do they all say that they are nostalgic and can't bear to throw away things from a long time ago?
Isn't it just fear of being criticized? The key is that this kind of thing is not easy to explain.

You say you do have money, but how do you prove that the money comes from legitimate sources?
If you really want to prove it, you have to expose your income situation, which will reveal your wealth even more thoroughly.

If you say you have no money, even a fool won’t believe you.

"It's very difficult?" Liu Yifei rarely caused trouble for Zhang Chen at this time. The little girl always had a clear sense of right and wrong when it came to major issues.

"Yeah." Zhang Chen was about to explain, but the sound from the TV in the living room attracted his attention.

"Dear viewers, welcome to today's news broadcast. First, please read the first piece of news:
Yesterday, Zhang Chen, an outstanding young man, young entrepreneur, world-renowned singer, philanthropist, and chairman of the Morning Light Group, the top taxpayer among China's private enterprises, was surrounded at home last night. Three people broke into his home, causing damage to many buildings in Zhang Chen's home. The specific property loss is unknown.

The relevant authorities have arrested three suspects who were involved in the burglary.

In addition to Zhang Chen, several stars and directors in Yanjing have been harassed to varying degrees.

The Internet is not a lawless place, and every citizen’s privacy should be protected.”

Zhang Chen listened to the entire news report word for word.

When reporting what happened to him last night, he quickly found a key word in it - Chinese private enterprises are the first to pay taxes!

As soon as this title came out, most of Zhang Chen’s concerns were eliminated.

“I have more and more titles.”

Most of the worries in his heart were resolved, and Zhang Chen was in a much better mood, and he even started to make jokes about himself.

"What's the use of so many titles?" Liu Yifei habitually raised an objection, and then looked at Zhang Chen worriedly, "Brother, are you okay now?"

"There's still something else, but it's much simpler now."

"Then what happens next?"

"What should we do?" Zhang Chen smiled and took out his phone, "Of course, open the door and let the dog out!"

　Guess who was released?
