Chapter 397: Li Changhong's Temptation
Although the hearts of these dozen or so high-level executives were full of curiosity, they didn't ask much, and even Lin Yuwei, the closest person to Chen Ping, had never asked Chen Ping about this matter.
However, they have an almost blind trust in Chen Ping's heart.
In their opinion, since Chen Ping already had a complete plan and even put it into action, there was no possibility of failure.
And this is exactly the trust that Chen Ping has achieved in the past year and a half.
The Voice of China, a music talent show, has achieved a sensational effect in China, and it is not smaller than the variety show Where Are You Going, Dad, and even goes further.
Even in the entire 04 years, there is no other variety show that can surpass the variety show The Voice of China in popularity.
However, at present, the income from advertising seems to be far less than that of the variety show Where Are You Going, Dad.
However, Tianyu Entertainment Company is very clear from top to bottom that the income from the variety show The Voice of China is far more than the current 200 million.
You must know that the current advertising investment promotion work is just the beginning, if it were not for the purpose of raising a large amount of money in a short period of time, even the current advertisers would not have been determined in such a short time.
Even the large advertiser who advertised the variety show The Voice of China signed a series of treaties with Tianyu Entertainment Company in the process of cooperation.
Tianyu Entertainment Company's top priority for the variety show of The Voice of China is the live broadcast of the last three large-scale programs, and in the process of live broadcast of these three programs, Tianyu Entertainment Company expects that the funds required to invest will be as high as about 300 million.
Although the live broadcast can also charge some fees for tickets and other aspects, this is only a small part of the income for capital investment.
The reason why the top large-scale advertiser signed a 150 million advertising contract with Tianyu Entertainment Company is because of the popularity of the Chinese Voice produced by Tianyu Entertainment Company, and on the other hand, it is the live broadcast plan given by Tianyu Entertainment Company.
At the same time as the two parties signed the contract, the advertiser also agreed to the final additional terms of Tianyu Entertainment.
If the variety show The Voice of China has achieved great success in the final three live broadcasts of advertisements and has made certain achievements, the advertising contract agreement between the two parties will be further improved.
If the results of The Voice of China can be improved in the later stage, then this top advertiser will invest an additional 50 million in advertising.
In other words, the cost of title advertisers of the music talent show of The Voice of China is even likely to be as high as 200 million.
This is an extremely terrifying number, even after 10 years, few variety shows can reach such heights.
On the other hand, the contracts signed by several other advertising companies and Tianyu Entertainment Company are actually only the advertising contracts of the first 12 periods.
In other words, the music talent show of The Voice of China has not yet been officially confirmed for the last three episodes of the program.
In addition, it is only 7 advertisements to attract investment, for a large-scale variety show like The Voice of China, this number is still far from enough, after all, 4 of them are just a glimpse of the show, and the advertising content is still very low.
However, Song Xuehua was not too anxious about the follow-up advertising contract, but discussed with the dozen advertisers who were negotiating with Tianyu Entertainment Company little by little.
It is expected that all advertising agreements will be completed by mid-November.
However, for the next development of Tianyu Entertainment Company, Chen Ping did not invest too much energy.
On November 3, Chen Ping actually did only two things, the first was to inject 250 million funds into the investment arrangement, and the second thing was that Chen Ping rushed to a hotel in Pingjiang City to meet someone.
This person Chen Ping had met several times before this, but Chen Ping was not too familiar with the other party, he had just dealt with each other.
It's just that compared to the last time the two met, the gap between the identities and status of the two parties has been narrowed a lot.
The last time Chen Ping saw each other, Chen Ping was only more successful than the two major companies of Guangyu Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company, as for Tianyu Entertainment Company and Qinghai Logistics Company, there was not much improvement at that time, and the gap between the two sides was as high as 10 times.
However, now, after the official establishment of Pingyu Group, Chen Ping's influence and status in the Chinese business community have also been greatly improved, and Chen Ping's personal net worth has even reached nearly 3 billion.
However, compared to the other party, Chen Ping's net worth is still far inferior, after all, sitting opposite Chen Ping at the moment is Li Changhong, chairman of Baidu.
When he saw Chen Ping, Li Changhong also had a faint smile on his face, but there was a little embarrassment in his eyes, and after a few words of greeting with Chen Ping, Li Changhong also sat down with Chen Ping, and then smiled softly with emotion: "Mr. Chen, sure enough, Shibei should be impressed for three days!"
"I remember the last time I saw you was only a few months ago, at that time, although you can be regarded as the most successful young businessman in China, but compared with now, there is a big gap, now you are already the chairman of Pingyu Group, with a net worth of billions, even compared to me, it is not much better. ”
"At least at my age, I'm nowhere near what you're doing now. ”
Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping hurriedly smiled, and then said softly: "Mr. Li is polite, compared with Mr. Li, I am just a junior, Mr. Li has already stood at the top of the domestic business community, and there are probably not many people who can surpass Mr. Li in the whole country, as for me, it is just a coincidence, relying on luck to be able to get to this point, as for whether I can catch up with Mr. Li's footsteps in the future I am afraid it is not yet known." ”
Li Changhong suddenly smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Speaking of which, Li Changhong, as the chairman of Baidu, is not as tactful as some people in the business world, and Li Changhong is not too good at this kind of touting, so he simply opened his mouth and smiled: "Mr. Chen, when you came to me this time, I heard that you want to sell the shares of Baidu in your hand? I don't know if Chen always heard any rumors? Or is it a rumor that is unfavorable to our Baidu company? Otherwise, why sell the shares of Baidu?"
At least in my opinion, Baidu's development potential is still great, even in the entire domestic Internet industry, although Baidu is not a leader, but at least it has achieved some success. ”
"At present, Baidu's development potential is far from reaching the limit, and it is very likely to achieve greater success in the future, and at that time, this part of the stock will also bring greater value to Mr. Li. ”
Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then smiled softly without hesitation: "Mr. Li misunderstood, I haven't heard any unfavorable rumors about Baidu, but recently, I have a certain demand for funds, and the more liquidity I can get, the better." ”
"I'm not going to sell one of the major subsidiaries of Pingyu Group directly for the sake of this part of the working capital, right? After all, relatively speaking, I bought the original shares of Baidu. It's just to make a lot of money, and I have never hidden what Mr. Li means about this. ”
"Speaking of which, for Baidu, I'm just a speculative businessman. I am not one of the shareholders of Baidu, but now, since there is a better way to make money, I will naturally consider selling my Baidu shares. ”
Hearing Chen Ping say this, Li Changhong glanced at Chen Ping deeply, and then said with a faint smile: "When it comes to the ability to make money, our Baidu company may not be weaker than any company, even if these stocks are only in their hands, they will continue to increase in value, which can be regarded as a stable way to make money." ”
"Since Mr. Chen said that he wants to make money, then Baidu stock is also a way for Mr. Chen to make money, and according to Mr. Chen's statement, Mr. Chen should have no reason to give up Baidu's stock?"
Chen Ping also smiled softly and bitterly, he could naturally see that Li Changhong didn't want Chen Ping to sell the stocks in his hand, he was just puzzled.
According to Li Changhong's opinion of Chen Ping, Chen Ping is definitely a guy who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, don't look at Chen Ping's youth, but he does things reasonably, and until now, every step will be taken with this certainty.
In other words, Chen Ping's sale of Baidu's shares this time is definitely for an extremely important reason.
And the reason why Li Changhong asked Chen Ping like this was just that Li Changhong was tempting.
Li Changhong also wants to know, what is Chen Ping's so-called means of making money?
In other words, does the so-called money-making method in Chen Ping's mouth exist?
If it exists, Li Changhong naturally hopes to be able to take the first step to seize this opportunity, after all, no one will ignore the matter of making money.
And if such a means does not exist, then Li Changhong has to consider whether Chen Ping sees something extremely unfavorable to Baidu, and it is precisely because of the existence of such a situation that Chen Ping will consider giving up Baidu's shares.
After all, Baidu is the foundation of Li Changhong, and if Baidu is greatly affected, then Li Changhong will also be defeated.
That's why Li Changhong asked Chen Ping so relentlessly.
However, Chen Ping was silent for a moment, then said with a chuckle: "Mr. Li really misunderstood, what I said is true, there is nothing wrong with Baidu's current development status, at least within 10 years, Baidu will never have a sharp decline in stocks for various reasons." ”
"So as Mr. Li said, holding Baidu's shares in your hands is indeed a stable way to make money, but for me, this way of making money is really a bit slow. ”
"If Mr. Li knows anything about me, he must also know that my Pingyu Group has developed so quickly from the beginning to the present, because of a large amount of capital investment, which has continuously accelerated the development speed of Pingyu Group. ”
"Now, several major subsidiaries of Pingyu Group have vital projects in the process, and the amount of funds required for these projects is not a few, if you want to obtain enough liquidity to accelerate the progress of these projects, I can only choose to sell Baidu shares, and I hope that Mr. Li can understand. ”
