America's Road to Fame

Chapter 231 I want to start a business
The last time William Chen went to China, he promised Yang Mi to take her out to play next time. It happened that he came to England this time and saw her saying that he missed him on HOLA, so he told her to come to London directly to find him.

But William Chen just had a dinner at Abu's place, although he didn't eat much at that time, so he said to Yang Mi:
"Then let me accompany you to eat something. I'll just watch you eat. I've already eaten over there."

"You look at how I can eat."

Yang Mi hugged his arm and said coquettishly,
After William Chen said this, Yang Mi was stunned for a while before realizing what he meant...

"How about..." Yang Mi glanced at him coquettishly, and said softly, "You should do some exercise first to digest your food, and then we'll eat together."

this……

So at ten o'clock in the evening, the two had dinner again. In the restaurant of the hotel,
"Honey, you said that if I want to start a business, what should I do?"

After Yang Mi finished eating, she sat beside Chen Weilian and asked coquettishly.

"Entrepreneurship? Are you not good at filming? Why did you think of this again?"

"Now I can't make much money just filming. I also want to be a big boss like you."

Seeing her saying this in a serious manner, William Chen couldn't help but feel amused: "How can it be so easy to be a boss, and you are too young now, just make a good filming first, and you will earn a lot more than ordinary bosses in filming in the future." gone."

William Chen's words were not nonsense. With the outbreak of Huaguo's film and television industry, all kinds of capital will pour into this industry immediately. At that time, the remuneration of traffic stars will rise to an unimaginable level. An actress with a pouty mouth can earn 1.6 million yuan in one play, like Yang Mi, if she keeps her current popularity, it won't be a problem to earn hundreds of millions at all.

"No, Fan Bingbing has become the boss now, and the major shareholder of Huace Film and Television is very prestigious."

Uh, it turned out that she was waiting for her here. It seems that she saw Fan Bingbing following her, and now she has become a capital, and she is a little envious.

William Chen is very open about this. After all, it is impossible for anyone to be selfish. It is human nature to want to go up. As long as you are smart enough to know what to do and what not to do, that is enough. Yang Mi , has always been a very smart woman.

"You are different from her. After all, she has a certain network in the circle now. Although you debuted early, you have just graduated and are still young. Even if you are given such an opportunity, you don't have much experience and can't control it. , but it is easy to be deceived.”

"Hmph, you're two years younger than me." Yang Mi muttered.

"How can you compare with me? I'm still in school to recharge my batteries. You went to drama school. Where do you have experience in business?"

"Oh, my dear, I can learn, and I can also find a professional manager to help me manage it when the time comes."

"You see things too simply. If you don't understand the truth and find a professional manager, you will be deceived so much that you can't even see it."

Hearing what she said, Chen Weilian felt that she still saw these things too simply, just like Chen William himself, if he hadn't been working hard to learn these business things after time travel, plus the size of his previous life, he was also a man worth tens of millions. His boss, and he has also demonstrated his ability to invest in others, as well as the background behind him... Without so many factors combined, the executives he finds will either not be willing to come to him to listen to his orders, or they will Only manage the company for their own benefit.

Even so, now that William Chen is in the core position, he is trying to use people he can control as much as possible. For example, the Caitlin Foundation is handed over to Uncle Tom, and the Meta Investment Company, the core of the Meta Group, is also handed over to Nelson, who had followed him early on, was in charge of specific affairs. Even Meta Technology Company was transferred to Erica to help him manage it.

Only Meta Entertainment and Media Company found a candidate for the CEO through a headhunting company because there was really no suitable candidate. It still required him to go through a period of investigation to decide whether to delegate power to the other party.

"Even if you want to start a business, it is best to choose a field you are familiar with. You are an actor now, so even if you start a business, it is best to develop in the film and television industry in the future. However, your qualifications are still young. When the time is right, I will give You have arranged it, at least wait until you can leave Huayi Company and open your own studio."

William Chen patted Yang Mi on the head, and said to her:

"Apart from these, what else are you interested in?"

"In addition to filming, I usually play games. When I had a lot of time, I played DOTA and World of Warcraft."

Hearing this, William Chen smiled.Playing games, uh, I have indeed started to set up a game company now, but it is definitely impossible for her to develop in the game industry. As for the games she mentioned, they are all produced by Blizzard. The current DOTA is still a part of Warcraft. This battle map is relatively popular in the world.

World of Warcraft is even more popular, and Blizzard has attracted countless money with this online game.It's just that Ninetowns was originally the agent of Huaguo's online game, and it was also this game that allowed the company to develop rapidly.

However, because the two parties did not reach an agreement later, the Huaguo agent of World of Warcraft has been replaced by Wang Yi, and the two companies have had a lot of conflicts because of this matter.

Speaking of which, Blizzard is indeed a powerful company. Chen William also had the idea of ​​acquiring this company at the beginning, but now that World of Warcraft is so popular, Blizzard has made too much money because of this online game, and now it is not easy to acquire it. And the required price will be inflated.William Chen knew that World of Warcraft hadn't been popular for a few years, and Blizzard hadn't produced any amazing games after that. Rather than doing this, it might as well buy other companies.

However, when Yang Mi mentioned DOTA, he thought of another game based on a similar battle mode, that is League of Legends. Now League of Legends is still under development. The Riot company that developed this game seems to be worth investing in.

Thinking of this, William Chen silently wrote down this matter. It seems that besides HOLA, he has to intercept Hu Penguin again. Anyway, this kind of thing is done once, and the second time, it is a bit natural Woolen cloth.

It was Yang Mi who reminded himself of this matter, um, she can be rewarded, so he said to Yang Mi:
"Well, you can start a business if you want, but I want to say yes, I can give you a small project to try first, if you fail in the end, then listen to me first, make a good film, and talk about it later."

"Really? Honey, what are you doing?"

Yang Mi, who was a little down in the mood, immediately became happy when he heard Chen William's words, and looked at Chen William expectantly.

"Have you ever been to Starbucks?" William Chen asked.

"Of course I have."

"Then have you ever thought about why the coffee in Huaguo Starbucks is more expensive than other coffee shops?"

"Because it tastes good?"

"In fact, in the United States, Starbucks is just an ordinary brand. If it is only about the taste, it is not too outstanding. But after it entered China, through various marketing, it has become a representative of petty bourgeoisie and style. Many people When you go there, you will feel that the coffee tastes better, mainly because you spend more money, and you always need to give yourself some psychological hints. As for why you are willing to go there? Because through its marketing, in that environment, you can give The easiest way for people to improve their own style is like many people wearing luxury brand clothes. If you don’t mention the brand, it is not much different from ordinary clothes, but if you show the luxury brand’s logo, it seems to be your own style. Also got taller."

“A lot of people go to Starbucks, maybe they just hope for the atmosphere, take a photo, a cup with the Starbucks logo, and upload it to social media in the environment of the store, which satisfies their need to show themselves. "

Listening to Chen William's words, Yang Mi realized that it seemed to be true.

"So, dear, you mean I also open a coffee shop like Starbucks?"
