Huayu is free to do as you like

The two discussed some details and discussed some future trends and development of the company.

At noon, Gu Wei had a simple meal with Mr. Zhang in the cafeteria of [ByteDance]. He said goodbye to each other in the afternoon and planned to take last night's flight to Changsha.

Although Gu Wei now flies his own private jet every time he travels, he has to apply for routes in advance before flying, and he cannot fly whenever he wants.

On the way to the airport, he called Yang Liwen and Zeng Jia respectively.

It's very simple to explain it to your company.

Naturally, the managers of various artists in the company will take care of the rest, helping them get accounts, shoot videos, and so on.

Zeng Jia talked a little longer, but as the company's major shareholder, this kind of thing can be regarded as an advertising endorsement for all Jiaxing's artists, which is a good thing.

"No problem, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will arrange the work later. Just ask [Douyin] to contact me directly."

In the office, Zeng Jia hung up the phone with a smile on her face.

She sat on the office chair, tapping her fingers on the table, and thought about calling her assistant in.

"Go find Director Li~"

She had no objection to Gu Wei's request to allow artists from [Jiaxing Media] to join the software called [Douyin], but she was still a little curious.

Zeng Jia joined Rongxinda in 2000 and has been deeply involved in the entertainment industry. As the saying goes, she doesn't know much about the Internet.

"Mr. Zeng, are you looking for me?"

After a while, Li Juan knocked on the door and came in.

“Do you know there is an APP called [Douyin] on the market now?”

Li Juan looked surprised and didn't understand what Zeng Jia meant by calling him over.

However, she worked in an investment bank for a period of time before joining [Jiaxing Media], and has always been concerned about the Internet.

"I happen to know that [Douyin] is a new music-based short video APP. It has not been online for a long time and the number of users is not very large."

In fact, at this time, [Douyin] is really not famous. Yuanshikong also completed the D round of financing of [ByteDance] at the end of 2016, and a lot of resources were invested in [Douyin], and it just started to take off. The cleanup became popular all over the network.

Zeng Jia nodded after hearing this, explained to Li Juan, and told her about Gu Wei's request for the company's artists to join Douyin.

"Mr. Zeng, did Mr. Gu really tell you that he is a shareholder of [Douyin] Development Company?"

After listening to Zeng Jia's words, Li Juan had no reaction to the artist joining this short video APP. Instead, he was surprised that Gu Wei admitted that he was a shareholder of the [Douyin] company.

"Yes, after Mr. Gu made his request, I asked casually, and he said that he had shares in that Internet company."

Zeng Jia didn't think it was a big deal. She knew that Gu Wei was very rich and it was nothing new for celebrities to invest.

Huang Xiaoming is well-known in the industry for his investment skills, and he has made a lot of money in this area.

However, most celebrities in the entertainment industry only invest in opening restaurants and doing some catering-related industries. Because the threshold is low and their own reputation can help the restaurant, to put it bluntly, it is still a disguised form of cutting off fans.

As for other industries, based on the academic qualifications and abilities of most celebrities, the chances of investing in them and being treated like leeks are greater.

Zeng Jia didn't think the Internet companies invested by Gu Wei would be able to do much in the end.

"Mr. Zeng, I don't know, but the [Douyin] app is actually not important. What is important is the company behind it."

"Is there anything special?"

Zeng Jia looked confused.

“The development company of [Douyin] is called [ByteDance]. You may feel unfamiliar with this name, but I want to say that [Toutiao] you must know, it is also a product of their company.”

As soon as Li Juan said [Today's Headlines], Zeng Jia suddenly realized.

“I know this, I still have the [Today’s Toutiao] APP on my phone.

It seems that what you mentioned [ByteDance] has been very successful! "

"More than just success~"

Li Juan took a deep breath.

"Mr. Zeng, you know that I used to work in an investment bank. In fact, after coming to our company, I have been paying attention to some things in the investment banking circle.

This [ByteDance] is now a rising star in the Internet industry.

Especially recently, they are talking about Series D financing, led by Sequoia Fund, which is well-known in the investment community.

I heard from friends that the valuation of [ByteDance] in this round is almost 10 billion US dollars! "

"Ten billion? US dollars?"

Listening to Li Juan's words, Zeng Jia opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

[Jiaxing Media] The last financing was valued at 1.5 billion. She felt it was already very remarkable. After more than ten years of hard work, she finally founded a large company with a market value of more than 1 billion.

Now that I heard that the valuation of an Internet company that Gu Wei had invested in was valued at 10 billion US dollars, compared to others, Jiaxing was like an ant next to an elephant. You can imagine the impact on his heart.

Li Juan saw her expression and knew what Zeng Jia was thinking, so she comforted her.

"Mr. Zeng, the Internet industry is different from the film and television industry. The market is much bigger than ours. As long as they can create an excellent and popular product, the company's valuation will skyrocket. You don't need to compare with them."

Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand.

“I know and understand that compared with those Internet giants, these companies in the entertainment industry are not worth mentioning in terms of size.

I just didn't expect that Mr. Gu also had his own arrangements in the Internet industry.

Although he did not say how much stock he holds, even 5% is equivalent to two [Jiaxing Media].

Really good people are great no matter what they do.

Although the film and television company under his own name has never raised funds, it has frequently produced hit movies in recent years, which is much better than ours in Jiaxing. If it were valued, it would definitely be worth several billion.

Looking at it this way, Mr. Gu’s net worth is among the best in the entire entertainment industry.”

Li Juan smiled listening to Zeng Jia's sigh.

"Mr. Zeng, this is actually a good thing. Mr. Gu is the major shareholder of our company. The stronger his ability, the deeper his background. For our company, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

If there are any problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can go to him. After all, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. When Jiaxing develops, we will also make money for him. "

"Haha~ You are right!

Xiaoli, go and call Vice President Zhao."

Zeng Jia laughed and called her assistant to call Zhao Ruoyao. She planned to hand over the tasks assigned by Gu Wei first.

Gu Wei took a car to the airport, waited for a while, and boarded his private plane.

I opened my laptop and did some work. It was already dark outside the cabin, and the G550 flew towards Changsha in the night.

Gu Wei's private plane has a dedicated satellite base station, so even on the plane, you can access the Internet and make calls normally without delaying anything.

After a while, Gu Wei closed the computer, thought for a while, and called Yang Mi.

Unlike other celebrities, from [Wei Ming Xia] to [Jia Xing Media], only Yang Mi is considered his partner, not his subordinate.

Although he had already made an agreement with Zeng Jia, Gu Wei felt it was necessary to mention it to Yang Mi. This was out of respect for him.

Moreover, there are so many celebrity artists in the two companies, and Gu Wei is in a separate category. Because of his support, Nazha and Zhang Tianai have now been promoted to the top and become first-line actresses, but they are not as popular in the circle as Yang Mi. After many years of 85 flower comparison, it is still inferior in terms of number of fans, nationality and ability to produce dramas.

To direct traffic to [Douyin], small celebrities will not play a big role. We really have to rely on Gu Wei, Yang Mi and others.

"Hello?

Why did you suddenly remember to call me? Is it so strange? "

When the call was connected, Yang Mi's somewhat lazy voice came over.

She finished filming today and was applying a facial mask in her hotel room. She was a little surprised when she received a call from Gu Wei.

Even if she usually contacted Gu Wei, she took the initiative to contact the other party, and she mostly sent WeChat messages. Gu Wei rarely took the initiative to call her.

"How was the shooting of the Secret Sister movie?"

“It’s good, everything went well.

By the way, do you know Huo Jianhua, who works with me? "

"how?"

"Brother Hua said, I don't like your title of being the best in domestic entertainment. I want to have a PK with you if I have the chance, haha."

Yang Mi turned around and sold it to Huo Jianhua.

"Sister Mi, please stop joking. How can I have the title of being the best in domestic entertainment?"

"Your fans banned you, and I don't think even fans of other male celebrities have any objections."

"That's all a joke made by fans, how can we take it seriously.

But Brother Hua is really handsome. When I was a kid, I watched him play [The Best in the World] "Gui Hai Yida", which was really handsome and cool! "

"I understand. I will tell Brother Hua tomorrow when we film. Gu Wei said you are too old."

Gu Wei on the other side of the phone looked helpless.

After chatting casually with Yang Mi for a while, Gu Wei got down to business.

"That's it. Didn't you make an agreement with Zeng Jia? Why are you calling me?"

Yang Mi didn't take what Gu Wei said seriously. She just felt that it was no different from the product endorsements she usually accepted.

"Sister Mi, you are different after all. We are partners. I have to ask for your opinion no matter what!"

"Haha~ You have such a sweet mouth. You have told many little girls the same words, right?"

Yang Mi, who was lying on the bed listening to the phone, made a sarcastic comment without hesitation. When she was with Gu Wei, she would think of saying something to him from time to time.

The two have known each other since the filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", from friends to "good friends" to now partners with common interests. After all, she has some feelings for Gu Wei, a scumbag, and the quarrels they usually have when meeting and chatting have become... Habit.

"Am I so unbearable in your heart?"

"It's worse than you think"

"Sister Mi, it makes me sad when you say that~"

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I know what happened. There is no problem. But when I finish filming this film and return to the capital to rest, you have to come over and thank me."

Yang Mi held the phone in her hand, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly when she said the last sentence.

"."

After agreeing to Yang Mi's unequal treaty, Gu Wei hung up the phone. It seemed that after this busy period, he would inevitably have to work harder. Fortunately, Mi Mi was never his opponent despite his physical strength.
