America's Road to Fame

Chapter 203 I will listen to you

When William Chen woke up in the morning, Fan Bingbing was beside him, still holding his arm tightly in his sleep, resting his head on his shoulder, and smiling sweetly in his sleep.

William Chen gently pulled his arm out of her embrace. Seeing her humming twice and changing her position to continue falling asleep, William Chen smiled slightly. After washing, he went to the study and opened the mail to read it.

In Nielsen's email, William Chen knew that News Corporation's wiretapping was still underway. Just yesterday afternoon in the United States, protesters began to gather under News Corporation's headquarters holding signs with protest slogans.

Affected by this matter and media reports, the British side has suspended negotiations with Murdoch’s News Corporation on the latter’s acquisition of Sky TV. Therefore, the stock price of News Corporation plummeted that day, falling more than 20% at most. , with a final drop of 13%.

After reading the news, William Chen got up and walked to the gym. For Murdoch, things were going from bad to worse, but to him, things were going in a favorable direction.

When William Chen's fitness was about the same, he saw that Fan Bingbing had walked in at some point, and was sitting on the exercise bench near the door, holding his chin and looking at himself.

"When did you get up?"

"I just woke up, and seeing you're not here, I don't want to sleep anymore."

At this time, Fan Bingbing didn't wear makeup, and her face was facing the sky. Although she was not as delicate and bright as usual after makeup, she felt a little more pure and free and easy.

Seeing her appearance, William Chen walked over and pressed a kiss on her mouth.

"Look at the sweat on your body, go take a shower first, and I'll make you breakfast."

For breakfast, Fan Bingbing made simple noodles, but the taste was good. She was also very happy to hear William Chen's praise.

At this time, William Chen talked to her about something that he hadn't finished talking about last night, which was the capital injection into Fan Bingbing's studio.

After leaving Huayi Company, Fan Bingbing did not choose to renew his contract, but set up his own studio, affiliated with Berner Company.

From its establishment to the present, Fan Bingbing's studio has also produced many works, including two TV series, and a film she collaborated with director Li Yu.However, most of them are studios participating with Fan Bingbing's resources and cooperating with other companies. There are not many works that are actually funded by her.

It is also understandable that the film and television industry is also very risky, and the investment in a work is not cheap. Except for the kind of literary films for awards, if the final broadcast effect is not good, it is easy to lose money, or even a big one. Fortunately, Chen William's predecessor has learned a lot in this regard.

In Huaguo's film and television industry, William Chen mainly invested in Huayi Company, but he didn't hold many shares.He didn't want to end by himself. It's not convenient for him to be a foreign investor. On the one hand, it was because Fan Bingbing followed him, so the interests of the two could be tied together; Investment, so there is the idea of ​​investing in Fan Bingbing's studio.

Of course, his investment channels in Huaguo's film and television industry will not be limited to this. Through Huaxia Future Capital, he will also invest in some film and television companies with potential in the future.

"Actually, I think the scale of my current studio is fine. If it's bigger, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it myself."

"Then find professional people to help you manage. You can do what you are good at, such as choosing scripts and building a good relationship with the media. You have done a good job in these things. Professional company management and management will be handed over to professional managers. People will do."

After the two finished their meal, William Chen took her hand, and the two sat on the sofa and said to her:

"In the future, your studio can be an investment-based company. I think you can directly invest in a potential film and television company and become a major shareholder. In this way, you will have a lot of voice and you can cooperate with them if you have good works. .”

Hearing what Chen William said, Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was a good idea, but instead he said with some depression:
"I don't have that much money now. Even a small film and television company should cost hundreds of millions."

"Money is not a problem. The main thing is to find a target first. When the time comes, I will find someone to sort out the information of domestic film and television companies and make a choice."

"Well, I'll listen to you. When the time comes, you will be my majority shareholder, so I'll just work for you." Fan Bingbing knelt on the sofa, put her hands on William Chen's shoulders, and leaned against his head , said.

"How can we do that? How can our Master Fan be a part-time worker? Then you will be the female boss, and I will work for you." After Chen William finished speaking, his expression turned slightly serious and he said:

"However, when it comes to the company's financial issues, you must find professional people to deal with them, especially tax issues, which must be taken seriously. Maybe there are many tricks in the domestic film and television industry in Huaguo, just to avoid taxes. But you want I know, you are not a professional person, and you don’t understand the boundaries between reasonable tax avoidance and tax evasion. Although the country is not too strict in this area, but from the situation in the United States, it will be taken seriously sooner or later, so it must be You can't go wrong with that."

At this time, the film and television industry has not yet reached the stage when large-scale capital enters and actors can get sky-high remuneration for a single play, so there will be some small moves, but they are far from as outrageous as later, such as Yin-Yang contracts, so in order to avoid She made the same mistakes again, William Chen will now strictly control her.

"Got it, I'll listen to you."

From what William Chen said, Fan Bingbing could also feel that he was doing it for his own good, so he kept saying it with a smile on his face.

……

In the evening, Chen Weilian went to meet Boss Ma, who led him to a luxuriously decorated club, where tonight's business gathering was held.

This time, Chen Weilian did not come alone. He also brought Li Ying with him. As Chen Weilian's investment representative in China, he also needed to increase Li Ying's contacts to facilitate her future investment work.

William Chen also met an acquaintance here, that is Wang Zhongjun from Huayi Company, but although in the film and television industry, he is a big boss, but on today's occasion, Wang Zhongjun still spends most of his time with smiling faces .

Now Huaguo's film and television industry has not experienced explosive growth after all, so the overall size is not large. Even if it is a leading company in the film and television industry, the market value of Huayi Company is too high in the eyes of the big guys at the party tonight. It's not worth mentioning.

For example, under the introduction of Boss Ma, William Chen met the members of Taishan Club, including Duan Yongji, chairman of Stone Group; Feng Lun, chairman of Wantong Group; Lu Zhiqiang, chairman of Oceanwide Group, and others. Yes, it is Wang Jianlin, chairman of Yida Group, who proposed "small goals".

Most of these companies are involved in the real estate industry, so they are also very interested in William Chen, the controlling shareholder of Troupe-Chen Business Management Company, the company that just bought the Modu Global Financial Center, the tallest building in mainland China. .

If Chen William, who just entered the real estate market in Huaguo, is a strong dragon, then these big shots are definitely local snakes.Whether the strong dragon and the local snake will eventually be in a cooperative relationship or a competitive relationship, that is what both parties need to try to understand.

However, William Chen knows that, as a foreign-funded real estate company, he still needs to rely on cooperation with local companies for real estate operations in China. Therefore, he also hopes to better understand each other and have the opportunity work together.

In particular, Wang Jianlin chatted with him a few more words about commercial real estate and the film and television industry.

At this time, Yida is also promoting the commercial project of Yida Plaza. William Chen owns the luxury brand Hermès, and he hopes to have the opportunity to let the Hermès brand enter Yida Plaza and improve their grade.

In addition, Yida has always been very interested in entering the film and television industry, and later acquired the second largest theater chain in the United States and Legendary Films, which is second only to the six major film companies, so now he wants to make friends with people who have a strong background in the United States, William Chen, who holds Marvel and MGM, is easy to understand.

A lot of information about William Chen may not be particularly known to ordinary people in Huaguo, but it is not difficult to find out these top business tycoons.

Not to mention anything else, even the power of his mother's Drey family in the United States can help these bigwigs when they conduct overseas mergers and acquisitions. The current leader in power in the United States is the donkey party.

Therefore, the reason why Chen William is so popular here is that in the eyes of these people, his wealth is already at the top level. It is more because of the energy he has in the United States, and he is more able to help them.
