Chapter 293 Trust at the Right Time
"I came late today and didn't squeeze in. I didn't expect..." Hong Xiaoyu had to admit that it was all such a coincidence.
She thought she was late this time due to an accident and wouldn't get any news!
Unexpectedly, I encountered a big fish.
"You can ask whatever you want to ask next. If you can answer it, I will tell you." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay." Hong Xiaoyu did not refuse.
Time passed as the two asked and answered questions.
"Jiang Chen, don't worry, I will definitely not reveal your information." Hong Xiaoyu said.
"You don't want to return to the Magic City right away, do you?" Jiang Chen asked when he saw Hong Xiaoyu packing his things.
"Well, we have to rush back right away. What about you?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.
"The financing has been confirmed, but other matters have not been resolved yet. I may stay for a while." Jiang Chen has a lot of things to do in Yanjing, but he will not tell Hong Xiaoyu about those things.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Nie Xingchen walked in.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Chen asked Nie Xingchen.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Alima wants to invite you to dinner. In addition, Mr. Cheng from Didi Taxi wants to talk to you. There is also Yuan Shuai from MH Investment Bank who wants to meet you and says he wants to talk about shares." Nie Xingchen replied.
"I will go to Mr. Ma's side, but what does Mr. Yuan of MH Investment Bank want to do?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"This..." Nie Xingchen glanced at Hong Xiaoyu.
"Um, Jiang Chen, I'll take my leave now." Hong Xiaoyu said.
"OK."
Jiang Chen nodded and sent Hong Xiaoyu out the door.
"Mr. Yuan from MH Investment Bank wants to acquire our shares, right?" Jiang Chen asked Nie Xingchen.
"It means that, but it doesn't seem to be the case." Nie Xingchen said.
"Go and inquire about Yuan Shuai at MH Investment Bank. I want his detailed information." Jiang Chen knew that Yuan Shuai was the male protagonist, but it was not enough to face him just relying on his knowledge of Yuan Shuai in movies and TV series. of.
"Okay." Nie Xingchen nodded.
"Just tell Didi Taxi's boss that I will go see him tomorrow." Jiang Chen said as he walked outside: "Now I'm going to see Mr. Alima first."
Five minutes later, Jiang Chen came to a box.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, you are finally here."
Arima greeted him.
"Mr. Ma invited me, how could I not come?" Jiang Chen followed Alima into the box with a smile.
…
Magic City, the apartment where Shi Yi is located.
Shi Yi just came back from get off work and saw Hong Xiaoyu sitting on the sofa.
"Xiaoyu, are you back?"
"Shi Yi, come and sit down. I have something to ask you." Hong Xiaoyu said.
"What's the matter?" Shi Yi walked over and sat down on the sofa.
"Do you know what Jiang Chen does?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.
"He runs a company." Shi Yi replied.
"What company do you open?" Hong Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"Xiaoyu, what do you want to say?" Shi Yi did not answer Hong Xiaoyu's question.
"I met Jiang Chen today. It was at the venue of Didi Taxi Financing." Hong Xiaoyu said.
"Didi taxi? No wonder." Shi Yi suddenly realized.
"Do you know about Jiang Chen and Didi taking taxis?" Hong Xiaoyu was stunned, did Shi Yi really know?
"I know about this." Shi Yi nodded.
"I met Jiang Chen today. I checked Jiang Chen's identity on the Internet. Guess what I found? All information about Jiang Chen on the Internet has been blocked. Do you understand what this means?" Hong Xiao Yu said.
"Block? Jiang Chen once said that he wanted to keep a low profile, so it's not surprising." Shi Yi thought of what Jiang Chen once said in Hengdian Film and Television City.
"This is not something ordinary people can do." Hong Xiaoyu said.
"Xiao Yu, Jiang Chen and I are not together because of his status." Shi Yi knew that Tianfeng Entertainment still belonged to Jiang Chen and that Hengdian Film and Television City had Jiang Chen's shares, but she didn't care much about these things. explain.
Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Shi Yi and said, "I saw the secretary next to Jiang Chen today. She is a woman. Aren't you worried?"
"Aren't there many female secretaries?" Shi Yi asked.
"That's what I said..."
"He is doing business outside and deals with all kinds of people, including women. I can't be jealous of everyone, right? Besides, my company also has male colleagues, so I can't let me not go to work, right? "Shi Yi said.
"That's right." Hong Xiaoyu felt that he seemed to be a little too worried.
However, she has no regrets.
Because she is doing it for the sake of good times.
…
Jiang Chen spent the next two days socializing.
Mr. Ma from Alibaba, Mr. Cheng from Didi, Mr. Yuan from MH Investment Bank, and other capital parties.
This time, we successfully participated in Didi Taxi’s financing, and Star Capital has attracted more and more attention. Jiang Chen wanted to keep a low profile, but had to go to social events.
After all, he didn’t want Star Capital to be squeezed out and isolated.
In the future, Douyin and Pinxixi will still need financing from these capital parties.
Jiang Chen was busy socializing, and Nie Xingchen and Yu Qingqing were no better.
After confirming the financing, don't just transfer the money directly. All other procedures need to be handled by Nie Xingchen and the two girls. This is why Jiang Chen brought them to Yanjing.
After two days of socializing, Jiang Chen came to Douyin Culture Media Company in Yanjing Science and Technology Building alone.
"Mr. Jiang."
An Qinghuan got the news and came out.
"Mr. An, long time no see." Jiang Chen looked at An Qinghuan with a smile.
It has been more than two months since I last left Yanjing.
I haven't seen her for more than two months, and An Qinghuan has the temperament of a strong woman.
"Mr. Jiang, welcome to inspect." An Qinghuan welcomed Jiang Chen into the company.
"How is Douyin now?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Mr. Jiang, Douyin now has a registered user..." An Qinghuan introduced.
Jiang Chen listened as he walked, asking questions from time to time.
After An Qinghuan's introduction, Jiang Chen asked An Qinghuan: "How much money does the company still have now?"
"There are still 900 million." An Qinghuan replied.
"Too many." Jiang Chen said.
"..." An Qinghuan looked at Jiang Chen doubtfully.
"Burn these 900 million for me as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen said: "After these 900 million are used up, I will send another 200 million over."
"Another two billion?" Although An Qinghuan's psychological endurance has become stronger with the development of Douyin during this period, he still can't stand Jiang Chen's throwing away money like this.
"right."
Jiang Chen nodded: "Do you know how much Didi Taxi raised at the end of last year?"
An Qinghuan shook his head.
"U.S. 800 million. Now Didi Dache has used up all 800 million U.S. dollars. It has raised 3.5 billion U.S. dollars in the past two days. Relatively speaking, we have used too little of Douyin's funds now."
Jiang Chen feels that if we burn another few billion dollars at the end of this year, we might be able to raise billions more dollars at the beginning of next year.
When Douyin went public in his previous life, the market value reached more than one trillion. In this integrated world of film and television, he might be able to make Douyin's market value even greater than in his previous life. By then, his investment would have been a profit.
"Does the company have so much funds?" An Qinghuan asked.
"You don't need to worry about funds." Jiang Chen thought of the funds that are now being withdrawn.
When he has no decision, he hesitates, but after making the decision, he thinks about how to use the funds to maximize his benefits.
"Okay, then I'll make a plan." An Qinghuan nodded.
"Did Secretary Li tell you about the seven-day cruise on the luxury cruise ship before?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I said it." An Qinghuan nodded.
"This can be used." Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Jiang, I think there is something wrong with this activity." An Qinghuan said.
"Is there a problem? What should I say?" Jiang Chen stopped and looked at An Qinghuan in confusion.
"The main purpose of this event is for the game Honor of Kings, but Mr. Jiang, although there are adults playing the game, most of them are minors. If they get a seven-day cruise on a luxury cruise, how will we arrange it next? They? How can their safety be guaranteed? What if their parents make trouble?" An Qinghuan asked several questions at once.
Jiang Chen was stunned.
He had never thought about An Qinghuan's problem at all.
But every problem she has is a difficult problem that must be solved.
"It seems that I didn't think well, but Mr. An, do you have any solution to these problems?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I haven't thought about it." An Qinghuan shook his head.
"What if real-name authentication is used?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
"Real-name authentication?" An Qinghuan reacted.
"Yes, everyone who participates in the seven-day luxury cruise must obtain real-name authentication." Jiang Chen nodded.
"In this way, although most of the problems can be solved, the effect is not ideal." An Qinghuan said.
"You guys should discuss this matter first and see if there is any way to solve it." Jiang Chen had no other solution. He also understood that the real-name authentication of King of Glory is not a good thing for the development of King of Glory.
"Mr. Jiang, I think this plan can be discussed, but it is not necessary." An Qinghuan said: "After all, luxury cruise ships are too expensive. Using this for activities may not be in the interests of the company."
"I came up with this plan because Quantum of the Seas is my cruise ship." Jiang Chen glanced at An Qinghuan and explained.
"..." An Qinghuan.
"However, if you have other better plans, you can use other plans." Jiang Chen is not an unreasonable person. After all, in terms of planning, even if he has memories of past lives, he may not be as good as professionals.
Therefore, although he was a little depressed that the plan was rejected, if there was a better plan, he would still give it up.
An Qinghuan nodded.
"How is the live broadcast going now?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The basic version has been tested many times and will be available on the shelves in mid-July." An Qinghuan said.
"That's good." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "However, after the live broadcast is released, you must be careful not to have unhealthy things appear."
If there are unhealthy things, it will be difficult to develop later in the live broadcast.
Jiang Chen didn't want these messy things to affect his ability to make money.
"Mr. Jiang, there are many live broadcast companies on the market now. I think if possible, acquire a live broadcast company before our live broadcast is launched." An Qinghuan said.
"Why do you have this idea?" Jiang Chen was stunned.
They already do live broadcasting themselves, so there shouldn't be any need to acquire a live broadcast company, right?
"I think it's okay to acquire a live broadcast company..." An Qinghuan explained.
An Qinghuan feels that Douyin's business model is completely different from that of a live broadcast company. Acquiring a live broadcast company means buying the entire live broadcast operation team, which will help the development of live broadcast.
"this……"
Jiang Chen began to think deeply.
If An Qinghuan didn't say anything, he wouldn't have thought of these problems at all.
"Mr. Jiang, it only costs two to three million to acquire a small live broadcast company." An Qinghuan said.
"Then let's acquire one. Mr. An, I'll leave this matter to you," Jiang Chen said.
"No problem." An Qinghuan was used to Jiang Chen handing over the shopkeeper.
After a while, Jiang Chen came to the technology research and development department.
At this time, the technology research and development department has expanded several times compared to more than two months ago, and most of the people are new faces. However, Jiang Chen's appearance was welcomed by the veteran technicians headed by Wang Hongxiang.
It wasn't until noon that Jiang Chen was called out from the technology research and development department by An Qinghuan.
"Mr. Jiang, it's already noon. You haven't forgotten to eat, have you?" An Qinghuan knows how sleepless and forgetful those technicians are when they work, but Jiang Chen is the big boss. If Jiang Chen doesn't eat, she dares to eat. ?
"Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch today." Only then did Jiang Chen feel hungry.
"Then I'll give you a good beating." An Qinghuan was not polite.
Half an hour later. The two came to a nearby restaurant.
"Mr. An, be casual." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
An Qinghuan was not polite. He ordered seven or eight dishes and a bottle of red wine, and then asked: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think we should add?"
"That's all."
Jiang Chen waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave.
The service in the restaurant is very fast, and a table of dishes is ready immediately.
Jiang Chen and An Qinghuan chatted while eating.
"Mr. Jiang, now that Douyin has driven the development of King of Glory and Tianfubao, can I charge cooperation fees from Mr. Xu (Xu Kang) and the others?" An Qinghuan asked.
"They are all subsidiaries of Xingchen Group. Is it necessary?" After Jiang Chen said this, he reacted: "You want to increase expenses?"
"right."
An Qinghuan nodded: "Increasing expenditure is also one of the ways to avoid tax. But for the company, it is the left hand and the right hand."
"You can discuss this with Mr. Xu (Xu Kang) and the others, and then report it to the financial department of the group company." Jiang Chen has not thought about this problem, because with the establishment of Xingchen Group, the financial department has become more and more complete, and some He no longer needed to think about things.
However, he appointed Zhang Yi as financial director not only because of Zhang Yi's ability, but more importantly, because Zhang Yi was obedient.
It is only convenient for Zhang Yi when he is obedient and does certain things.
However, he was very pleased that An Qinghuan had this idea, knowing that An Qinghuan was thinking about the company wholeheartedly.
"Mr. An, you have worked hard during this time, and I respect you." Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass and said to An Qinghuan.
