Chapter 276: Big Business

"You're a little absent-minded." Wang Anping glanced at Shen Zhenghui, who had just recovered from a distraction and had to smile apologetically at Wang Anping.

"You were so tired last night, didn't you?" Wang Anran on the side raised his eyebrows, "How many people recommended pillow seats last night?" ”

"I'm sorry, no," Shen Zhenghui replied, "On the contrary, I had to have a meeting with a group of high-ranking officials late into the night last night, which is why I am not mentally stressed today and always want to sleep." ”

"Okay, you don't want to make too much money." Wang Anran put down his chopsticks, "You still don't let others live?" You give me the energy to put it where it needs to be, I can see it! He pulled out a newspaper, "The Road to Reform of Chinese Cinema -- A Seminar at the Pingjing Film Academy," he read, "and your name appears more often than all the officials and directors." He put the newspaper aside, "It's interesting to see you and the others raise the bar, you don't really talk like that, do you?" ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at the newspaper, "If I'm not mistaken, what I said above didn't change much, and it was quite in line with the original intention." ”

"Really?" Wang Anran asked rhetorically.

"Of course, I don't have to lie, there are so many people here!" Shen Zhenghui replied.

"Your status in the film industry has now surpassed Zhang Yimou!" Wang Anran sighed and said, "Looking at this posture, I basically regard you as the chairman of the Long March, and expect you to lead them to cross the Chishui four times!" ”

"It's a pity, it's your hallucination, they didn't intend to listen to me at all, and the film industry is not a party group." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "I look at my own status, but I feel like Stilwell." Well, it's not that bad, maybe it's Chennault or Marshall. ”

"It's not a good analogy," Wang Anran laughed, "but you have a good understanding of these people in the film industry, I thought you couldn't stand the sugar-coated shells!" ”

"What's the sugar-coated shell then?"

"Huh." Wang Anran laughed, "Does it really have to be sent to your bed?" ”

"That's it!" Wang Anping knocked on the table and glared at Wang Anran, "Be serious!" "We're going to get down to business." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Zhenghui was a little strange, "Have a new investment project ready to take me?" ”

Wang Anping rolled her eyes, "I'm still counting on you to take me!" Her expression looked like she was joking, but she wasn't amused by it, and it seemed like it was a bad joke. Maybe it's because her expression is too cold. made Shen Zhenghui a little unable to react for a while.

"What's the matter?" He asked, "Trouble investing?" ”

"No, a qiēshun lì." Wang Anping shrugged her shoulders, "The expansion plan is a smooth lì, along with you stirring up trouble in the film industry, everyone is very optimistic about the future development of the film industry, and commercial films, especially theater construction funds, are not a problem at all." ”

"So?"

"So?"

"So the question is something outside of the film industry?" Shen Zhenghui sat up straight. "What is it?"

Wang Anping finally sighed and put down her chopsticks. Even pushed the bowl forward.

"The penguins are on the market." She said.

"Yes, in June of this year." Shen Zhenghui nodded, "Although I have been busy with movie release work, I still paid a little attention to this situation. He shrugged his shoulders, "In my opinion, the stock price of $3.7 is indeed a bit low. I believe it will at least double by the end of next year. ”

Wang Anping had a choked expression. Wang Anran on the side coughed.

"What do you have to say?" Shen Zhenghui looked at Wang Anran, "If you have private money, you might as well buy some penguin stocks, which is much better than depositing them in the bank or other investment channels." ”

Wang Anping also coughed and cleared her throat.

"Huh? What's wrong? You're both weird today. ”

"Ugh. I want to ask you," Wang Anping asked, "Are you interested in banking?" ”

"Banks?" Shen Zhenghui narrowed his eyes, thought about it and shook his head firmly, "I'm not familiar with this, and I don't have the time and energy to run a bank." ”

"You still want to run a business, you want to be beautiful!" Wang Anran pouted and said.

"What, you're ready to relax financial restrictions?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, he had a hunch about the next topic.

Wang Anping coughed again, "Of course it can't be," she said, "and you don't have to run a bank, but there is a bank that can open up private capital to hold shares, and you only need to sit on dividends every year." ”

"With such good conditions, you must pay not to say that it is very high, at least at the same price, right?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

Wang Anping looked very embarrassed, "Yes," she seemed to ask for some kind of burden, and her expression became relaxed, "Penguin's stock." She said.

"Who wants?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"In the interest of national security," Ms. Wang said, "MIH will fund some of the acquisition." ”

"Part of it? How much? He asked.

"You can't own more stock than the founders anyway." Wang Anping pursed her lips, "My excess shares were also sold to MIH, and I didn't hold shares in my own name. ”

Yes, in the name of the state. Shen Zhenghui nodded, of course, he is not holding shares in his own name, and it may not be inconspicuous now, but when the penguins grow up, it will already be an uproar. Interested people will naturally track down who the original shareholders are.

"This has to be done?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

"You can hold a stake in the bank, and that's compensation." Wang Anping said with a certain helplessness, "He will buy your shares at a very fair price, or directly exchange the shares of the bank." ”

"Fair price?" Shen Zhenghui touched his chin, "How much does he want?" ”

"How many do you have?"

"Less than 20%." Shen Zhenghui replied that some of the shares were contributed by Li Gongzi.

"He wants half of it," Wang said, "and Pony also asks us not to hold more shares than he does." ”

"I don't have the heart to fight for his place." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand.

"MIH has to be the only major shareholder, the largest shareholder." Wang Anping said, with some kind of apology. "This matter carries some kind of administrative order, after all, it is related to network security, and the bigwigs are also nodding. Compensation conditions," she paused, "I think it's okay." ”

In 2014, the market value of Minsheng Bank was about 320 billion yuan, and Tencent's was about 160 billion. But it's dollars. The difference in market capitalization between the two sides is six times. In 2004, the shares of Minsheng Bank were exchanged for the shares of Penguin, no matter how fair it is, in the long run, it is self-evident who will take advantage. Of course, no one will know at this time that the market value of penguins will increase hundreds of times, but everyone knows the trend, the development of the Internet has cast many giants, and at present, Penguin is just starting. But it has already revealed the appearance of a giant. It can be said that this guy who is interested in penguin stocks does have a unique vision, and he is also willing to invest in blood.

"Can you tell me who I am?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

Wang Anping looked helpless, "It's not alone," she said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's really a collective action," she paused, "My shareholding will also go down." Won't be taller than you. "I promise the whole procedure is normal." ”

Shen Zhenghui nodded. "Of course I believe you." He breathed a sigh of relief, "Being a minority shareholder of a bank can be regarded as saving some money." ”

"I don't see how much you care." Wang Anping couldn't help but say, "And they don't have any restrictions on your holdings of Minsheng Bank's shares." ”

"No limits?"

"There are no restrictions on redemption," Wang explained, "not that if you sell 100 million shares of Penguin, you can only buy 100 million shares of Minsheng Bank, you can buy more." ”

"So how much more can you buy?" Shen Zhenghui asked. The profits of the banks are also very considerable. A large number of penguin shares are also not conducive to monetization in many cases.

"How much more do you want to buy?" Wang Anping asked rhetorically, "With more than 50 billion assets, do you really want to buy them all?" ”

"So what does it mean to have no limits?" Shen Zhenghui smiled.

Wang Anping took a deep breath, "It seems that we have miscalculated your assets. ”

"No, you are not wrong. I'm purely guilty of being a science student. He spread out his hand, "Then I can exchange as many shares as you like for Penguin's shares, I'm not greedy." ”

Shen Zhenghui's light breeze made Wang Anping feel deeply uncomfortable, maybe Shen Zhenghui would be happier when he scolded her, in this matter, Shen Zhenghui was indeed regarded as the white gloves of the Wang family, even if he was implicated, the Wang family itself was also facing all kinds of pressure. While what they received as compensation is fair at the moment, it's hard to guess what they'll think over time.

"By the way, when do you want to close the deal?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"There's no hurry," Wang Anping gritted her teeth, "The internal process is also very long," she said with a certain feeling, "We will let them follow the rules step by step." ”

"Sister, people are in power, why should you?" Wang Anran persuaded.

Wang Anping glared at him fiercely, "If it weren't for you, you think I would have made such a regression?" ”

This sentence should be false, because it is definitely not Wang Anping who makes the decision of the Wang family, and it is Wang Anping's interests that are lost this time, and others may not have benefited.

Shen Zhenghui didn't want to continue to go deeper on this topic, what should be discussed in depth was the boundless darkness, he said indifferently, "It's better to be later, the later you change, the more money you will change," he tilted his head and looked at Wang Anran with interest, "Enron, are you interested in doing the business of communication equipment?" ”

Wang Anran looked at his sister, "You should tell my sister about this." ”

"What, what are you interested in again?" Wang Anping glanced at Shen Zhenghui obliquely, "All my energy is on real estate. ”

"That's good, real estate is good." Shen Zhenghui smiled, "Even if that's the case, you have to pay a little attention to other industry matters," he said seemingly deliberately, "I heard that Ahri intends to spin off the payment platform from their company and transfer it to Lao Ma's private holding company?" ”

Wang Anping suddenly became vigilant, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"They seem to be already doing it," Shen Zhenghui shook his body, "SoftBank and Yahoo are very unhappy about this." ”

"Of course, there can be no foreign investment in financial payments," Ms. Wang said. This is certainly the case in the current situation. ”

"I think you can think about how much of Ahri's stake you should keep," Shen Zhenghui said, "and by the way, think about it for me." ”

Wang Anping was already a little absent-minded, "I will." ”

The dinner was very uncomfortable that night, for everyone.

Mitsumi Fukuda, who received a call from Shen Zhenghui, was a little excited, "You can take a stake in a Chinese bank." Why didn't you sue me sooner for this kind of opportunity? ”

"First, I also know; Second, even if you take a stake, do you think you will be able to control the bank? Just sit honestly and share the dividends, and be a good puppet director. Shen Zhenghui said, "Even if its profit is high, I still think it is better to keep more money to make movies." ”

"Really?" Shen Zhenghui felt that Mitsumi Fukuda still couldn't hide her excitement, "This matter should not only be looked at from this angle," she cleared her throat. "Don't limit yourself to thinking that it's not without its advantages." After a pause, she added, "I should call and communicate with Wang Anping, I hope she didn't relay the meaning that you only keep that little bit of shares." ”

"It's certainly not that fast." Shen Zhenghui swore that he couldn't help but start thinking in his heart what Mitsumi Fukuda wanted to do from this matter? It is simply impossible for the Bank of China to allow foreigners to take shares, and no, even if they do, it is impossible for them to have influence over the bank's business. After thinking about it, he realized that he didn't know anything about it, so he threw it away. I began to rethink the few scripts I got from the editing room of the starting point.com.

The management and middle management of the starting point still have some unrealistic illusions about their company's development strategy and providing script material as the upstream source of the entertainment industry. This can be seen in the potential novel scripts they have chosen. Although they have eliminated many contents that cannot conform to the construction of spiritual civilization in terms of subject matter, these novels in Shen Zhenghui's hands are still mixed.

Those imitations of novels such as "The Legend of Wukong", "Bright Sword", and "The Magic Apprentice" that have already been adapted have a clumsy form without their internal structure, story, and meaning. For example, the editors recommended N novels with multiple titles to write "XX Biography", or Tang Seng, or Sha Seng, or Bajie. Of course, there are eye-catching fragments in it, but the whole book is put together in a single qiē that makes people have to shake their heads. The essence of "The Legend of Wukong" lies in the atmosphere of the middle two throughout the book, and if you imitate it from the appearance and fragments, it can only be said that you have taken the wrong path.

In addition, similar to "Bright Sword", a story that uses a mature tone to tell the past. There are also a lot of interesting scripts, and there must be many professional writers who don't know how to submit their works to the starting point. An old writer is an old writer, and the story, structure, and jokes are very attractive, but it is always difficult to hide the old atmosphere. Of course, it is not bad as a TV script, Shen Zhenghui has already read several copies and is ready to give it to his father.

As for the novel that imitates "The Magic Apprentice", it can only be said that it is miserable. No one person has a grand structure and is still able to maintain the consistency of the characters in the story. Many people start writing novels without training in short stories, and as a certain Shuo said: it is easy to write a long novel, but it is difficult to write a short story. They don't understand what they're trying to do, and they're just trying to be consistent with the template.

Even if there are one or two well-written novels, they face difficulties in adapting them into visual art.

However, Shen Zhenghui still watched it with great interest, and the editors of the novels that are currently popular on the Internet did not recommend them, and it is estimated that they also know that novels such as "I Am a Hooligan", "Ming", "New Song", "We Are the Champions", "The Rise of China", and "1911 New China" are difficult to adapt. But Shen Zhenghui's interest is in these Internet classics that he is familiar with. He paid special attention to one book, "Blasphemy".

After carefully pondering the possibility of adapting this novel, Shen Zhenghui sent an email to Ning Huan, asking him to read "Blasphemy" again. Shen Zhenghui, who was relieved from his intense work, suddenly had an illusion that he didn't know how to arrange his work next. It should be said that the penguin stock incident still hit him very hard, and he actually reinvested himself in the arms of online novels in a short period of time, and fell into a kind of escape.

But soon the phone call brought his attention back to him.

"Haven't slept yet?" It was Wang Anran who called, "Come out and drink with me." ”

"Is this time?" Shen Zhenghui looked at his watch, it was already late at night, "Aren't you afraid that your sister will check your post?" ”

"Say what?" Wang Anran's tone was a little impatient, "It's a buddy who will come out immediately without saying a word, you have not been in China for so many years, how can you learn to be as crooked as Little Japan." ”

Shen Zhenghui said in his heart that I was much worse than Little Japan, but I still heard the other party's thoughts from Wang Anran's tone. But since he said so, it seems that Shen Zhenghui can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. Wang Anran said the name of a famous local nightclub, which made Shen Zhenghui listen to the drums in his heart, tonight, uh, shouldn't it be said that it is the morning, is it inevitable to have a show?

After washing his face, Shen Zhenghui found that he was full of energy, and it was difficult to sleep after being hit, which became a good thing at this time. He wore glow-in-the-dark goggles and a hat, dressed himself up so that he didn't even recognize himself before going out, and he didn't want to be the headline of gossip magazines, saying that the big director was debauched late at night or something. However, this proves that he is completely overhearted, and 2004 is not the era of the national paparazzi in the future. (To be continued......)
