Chapter 440: An unexpected gain

Fan Binbin jumped over and grabbed Wang Yan and said: "Sister Weiwei and I haven't had much work recently. Brother Ming recommended the two of us to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Sister Weiwei and I came here to thank Brother Ming for treating us at the Beijing Hotel. We didn't expect to meet each other. Sister Wang Yan, what a coincidence."

Several actors from the Huanzhugege family are all very close to each other. Even after the wedding, some of them are often in contact with each other. Therefore, when they suddenly met together, they naturally seemed particularly happy.

Wang Zhicai did not expect to meet Ye Ming in this place. He was quite shocked by this young man Ye Ming. Such a young man has such achievements in the business world. It is almost said that every time he makes a move, he will gain something. , I haven’t heard of any losses in Ye Ming’s investment.

At this time, Wang Zhicai said with a smile: "Mr. Ye really has a wide network of connections. He can recommend a party like the Spring Festival Gala. I heard that Mr. Ye has three recommendation places. How about taking care of our family?" How about a seat?" It was very rare for Wang Zhicai to actually ask for a seat. Ye Ming naturally would not refute his request. He nodded and said, "There's no problem with that. It's not a big deal if it's just to go to the Spring Festival Gala. thing."

Wang Yan waved her hand and said, "Why are you going there? Of course, you have to be at home during the Spring Festival. If you go to the Spring Festival Gala, my mother won't be willing."

It was time for Wang Zhicai to become hoarse. It was indeed the case. He had really forgotten such a thing. If Wang Yan really went to the Spring Festival Gala, then in such a situation, things would actually become relatively out of control. .

The old lady in his family is actually a very traditional person. If the daughter-in-law is no longer at home during the Spring Festival, the party will have objections. At this time, Wang Zhicai said with some embarrassment: "I was negligent about this. Mom wouldn't be willing. Thank you Mr. Ye for your kindness in letting you stay out during the Spring Festival."

Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, you're welcome. What's the matter with the two of you coming here? If not, we can have a meal together. It's not easy to meet each other." After all, we are acquaintances, right? Therefore, Ye Ming still invited the two of them to have dinner together.

Wang Zhicai had no objection. He hesitated a little and said, "This is not a big deal. The main thing is that a young man wanted me to invest in the Internet and invited me to come here to negotiate. Since we have met, let's go together." You might as well go and sit down, I just want to have a chat with Mr. Ye.

I heard that your company has purchased several courtyard houses in Nanchizi and Beichizi Streets. Most of these are owned by government departments and state-owned enterprises. It is not easy to buy them from them, right? "

Wang Zhicai himself is in the real estate industry. Therefore, under such a situation, he paid attention to Ye Ming's investment in courtyard houses. According to his understanding, Ye Ming acquired a total of about five or six relatively well-preserved courtyard houses. . These courtyard houses have a common feature. They are all located in Nanchizi and Beichizi Streets, and the property rights are owned by government departments or state-owned enterprises.

It is also difficult for ordinary families to own the property rights of a completed courtyard house. The five or six courtyard houses that Ye Ming invested in were all large courtyard houses with two or three entrances, typical of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wang Zhicai was a little confused as to why Ye Ming, a film and television person, was so interested in real estate.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is actually just an investment for our company. In the future, if the crew needs to use the courtyard for filming, our company can rent it out. In fact, I had this situation when I was filming Huanzhugege. At that time, we were shooting some scenes in Mei Lanfang’s former residence, and I thought that investing in a courtyard house would be helpful to the development of the company.”

Wang Zhicai didn't expect Ye Ming to give such an answer. He originally thought that Ye Ming wanted to invest in real estate and wanted to change his career, but he didn't think that it was because of film and television dramas. It seemed that his worry was Somewhat redundant.

At that moment, Wang Zhicai said with a smile: "I see, I thought Mr. Ye was interested in the real estate market. It seems that Mr. Ye is very confident in the future of the film and television industry, otherwise there wouldn't be so much investment." on this matter."

This time, Ye Ming did not hesitate, because if he did not show some real skills, he would still be looked down upon by big moneymen like Wang Zhicai. At that moment, Ye Ming said with a smile: "It's just a long-term investment, even if you don't make money in the film and television industry , but just talking about these courtyard houses themselves, they all have investment value. They are all in the Imperial City Reserve and there is no possibility of being demolished. I think as long as you hold them in your hands, you will always make money."

Ye Ming's analysis is also reasonable, but Wang Zhicai has no business in this area. His investment is to build real estate, not to invest in the Imperial City Reserve, but he also appreciates Ye Ming's forward-thinking vision. He laughed loudly and praised: "There are so many rich people in the capital, but it is a pity that there are not many with the foresight of Mr. Ye. Otherwise, Mr. Ye will not be able to invest in these courtyards."

In the capital, there are naturally many people who are richer than Ye Ming, but these people are more keen on investing in real estate, that is, overturning courtyard houses one after another to build modern communities.

But there are still very few people who really invest in courtyard houses. Otherwise, Ye Ming would not have obtained the courtyard house so smoothly.

At this time, a energetic young man in a black suit came over. When he saw Wang Zhicai, he immediately greeted him politely and said: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am very sorry to disturb you. I promise I will only take up a few minutes of your time." , please listen to me introduce our company first."

Wang Zhicai waved his hand very politely and said: "I was introduced by Lao Zhang. I always give Lao Zhang some face. Please tell me first, what is your company's profit prospect?"

An acquaintance introduced someone who came here to solicit investment, and Wang Zhicai really couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to agree to meet him. The young man said very politely: "I am Li Yanhong, the manager of the ferry company. Although our company is an emerging technology company, it is very high-tech. I also have a patent on super search." Yes, therefore, when it comes to the Internet, our company still intends to have a very broad development vision. Google's position in the United States is the position of our ferry company in China, and I am confident that we can achieve this."

Google is a well-known Internet company in the United States, but Wang Zhicai has never heard of it. He is a real estate businessman, why should he care about Hu Liang.com? If it is a giant in the entertainment industry, he would have heard of Warner Brothers. However, after all, the wife is an actor, and he is relatively familiar with some things in the entertainment industry.

At this time, Wang Zhicai waved his hand and said with the judgment of a businessman: "You don't need to introduce this. What I want to know is if Wu buys a stake in your company, how long will it take for your company to make a profit? I want to listen to the truth."

After all, it was introduced by an acquaintance. Therefore, at this time, Li Yanhong hesitated and said: "I guarantee profits in two to three years. After all, this is an emerging industry. In such a situation, we need to It will take a certain amount of time for everyone to accept us. But I believe the future of the Internet is very good."

Wang Zhicai shook his head and said: "It goes without saying that you are drawing cakes to satisfy your hunger. You said it yourself. It will take a certain amount of time for everyone to accept an emerging industry. It is hard to say whether you will be able to make a profit in two or three years. I don't know. He will invest in an industry that he is not sure about. As for Lao Zhang, I wonder why he doesn’t invest. It’s because of his feelings.”

The Internet was still a relatively virtual industry in the late 1990s, so under such circumstances, Wang Zhicai had no hope for this emerging industry. In his early days, the Internet was fictitious and there was no possibility of profit. Hearing what Wang Zhicai said, Li Yanhong was also a little disappointed. This would be the fifth investor he had attracted, but no one was willing to invest in his company, which made Li Yanhong very disappointed.

Just as Li Yanhong was about to leave, Ye Ming stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'm very interested in your company. Tell me what kind of investment you want."

Li Yanhong turned around and didn't see it. At this time, he recognized the circles under his eyes. This person was actually the big star Ye Ming. As an Internet practitioner, although he didn't care much about the entertainment industry, he was also interested in Ye Ming's name. As we all know, this is an all-around artist who has reached the top of the mainland entertainment industry in two years. This is an enviable achievement.

Li Yanhong immediately seemed to see hope: "Mr. Ye wants to invest. It's no wonder. I met Lao Ma from Tencent two days ago. He said that you are the major shareholder of their company. Our company's requirement is two million. One hundred Twenty-five percent of the shares, but only the right to dividends and no control rights.”

This is similar to Tencent's requirements. Of course, Ye Ming also understood very well that Li Yanhong was talking about U.S. dollars, not RMB. However, considering the ferry company's future performance, this price is very reasonable.

He nodded immediately and said, "That's fine. You can come to our company in the afternoon with the instructions and relevant contracts, and we will discuss the specific matters."

Li Yanhong didn't expect Ye Ming to agree to his request so readily. It seems that what Lao Ma said was right. Ye Ming is a far-sighted investor, and things he believes in will not be changed easily. He will do so immediately. I promise that I will definitely pass by this afternoon.

This makes Li Yanhong feel like he is very proud of himself. If he can attract investment, it will be a pretty good result, which will be very beneficial to the development of the company.

And Ye Ming is also very lucky that he actually forgot that there is such an awesome company lurking in the capital. It seems that his dream of an Internet empire will soon be realized. With the support of video websites, the help of search engines, and the help of instant messaging, building a large entertainment empire is not a dream. (To be continued)
