Chapter 201: One Big and One Small

"Journey to the West" was evaluated as a classic of a lifetime many years later. Whether it is the interlude "The Love of My Life" in it, or the timeless lines in it.

have made countless people talk about it. However, in 1995, it was the sad year of "Journey to the West".

The first part, Xiangjiang's box office of 25 million, is very good for ordinary movies, but for a movie with an investment of nearly 60 million, it is already a big fight.

Even if the second part is released now, it has not been able to save much box office. Except for a small number of loyal fans, ordinary passers-by will make an evaluation after watching it, and they don't understand it noisily.

Even Zhang Xiaolong and Lei Jun, who don't care about meat and vegetarians, still see it a little foggy.

"I heard that this film pounced miserably in Xiangjiang." Shen Lanpeng, who had just finished watching the upper and lower parts with Chu Qing, waited until the audience left one after another, glanced at Chu Qing carefully, and said with some regret.

After New Year's Day, he joined Deepsea and is now the vice president of Deepsea. And this "Journey to the West", Chu Qing bought the VCD copyright before it was released, and BBK originally wanted to negotiate with the filmmaker for a lease share, but the Western Film Studio, which was in a hurry to return the money, directly packaged one million and sold out all the disc copyrights.

In the case that it has not yet been released in the mainland, the Western Film Studio just quit. Judging from today's box office situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult for one million copyright backgammon to recover the cost.

"It doesn't matter, some movies are not suitable for the big screen, so they are suitable for watching slowly at home in the dead of night." Journey to the West really became popular after 96 years, and its VCD discs began to gradually become popular among college students.

Then after time precipitation, it was finally enshrined as a god's work. Chu Qing has already watched this movie more than a dozen times.

The first time I saw it in my last life, it was in 1997, when he was only a few years old and couldn't understand it. It's not exciting, it's noisy, and it's all kinds of nonsense.

But when he watched it for the second time in 2003, he already had a completely different feeling. It wasn't until I was in high school that I was hurt by my first girlfriend that I really appreciated the essence of the lines in this movie.

Later generations selected the top ten movies in Xiangjiang, and "Journey to the West" has become the classic that can't be bypassed, just like "The Legend of Xinshu Mountain", I don't think it is like at first glance, but after experiencing time, I know that it is actually the peak.

No one knows how much the VCD of Journey to the West in the last life has earned, but Chu Qing is sure that it is definitely more than one million.

At that time, his father had to find time to go to the store to get this plate in order to rent it, and he was borrowed a little later.

If you take it home and look at it once, you have to return it quickly, otherwise you will be directly found by the shopkeeper.

"Let's go, come with me." When the subtitles fell, the audience in the auditorium was almost gone, and Chu Qing stood up unsatisfied.

The two slowly walked out of the auditorium, and being blown by the cold wind in the south, Chu Qing subconsciously tightened his coat.

Shenzhen, which was still very warm last month, suddenly remembered that it was already deep winter this month, and a cold snap directly blew the temperature in the south by ten degrees.

"The domestic market is still too small, and when you sort out the things here, you can go to the United States first." Glancing at the brightly lit backgammon industrial park, Chu Qing pondered and said to Shen Lanpeng.

Since he joined the company, Chu Qing has discussed with him the future investment direction of the deep sea. Nowadays, although the country is thriving, most of them are low-end manufacturing.

Medium and high-end enterprises like BBK are either state-owned or Huawei, and do not need foreign capital to invest in them for the time being.

For them, money is secondary, and technology and equipment are what they lack the most. And these backgammons can't be given at all.

On the contrary, with the gradual revelation of the Internet industry, there is a lot to be done to invest now.

"Well, I expect to be able to sort out the domestic data in early March, and then I will set up a risk control and evaluation department. Even if I am not there, they can help Mr. Yang manage domestic investment issues. "Shen Lanpeng came to the deep sea to know that this is an empty shell, although he has invested in several projects, everything is very rough.

Whether it is Tesla or Kingsoft, they are acting on the intuition of the boss, if the deep sea is not bigger, it will be no problem, after all, there are not many domestic investors who specialize in investment.

But when it comes to overseas companies, it's a bit inappropriate to go on in such a rough way. Not to mention Huang's Nvidia, even the newly established Yahoo, can't be so simply laissez-faire.

Entrepreneurs spend investors' money, but they don't feel distressed at all. It is said that in just one or two months, the broken website spent $200,000 on server upgrades.

"Yahoo, you have more snacks, I heard Xiao Yang say that Yang Zhiyuan will contact other venture capitalists in April to start the next round of Yahoo investment. I have one request for them, no matter how much other people invest, we will follow. "The last time he invested in Yahoo, Chu Qing invested $500,000 in Yang Zhiyuan in the name of the North American BBK branch and got 20% of Yahoo's shares.

This time, Shen Lanpeng used to separate this part of the shares from the North American branch. Handover to an overseas company that has just been established in the Cayman Islands.

In the future, overseas investment projects will basically go through the company's accounts.

"So fast! If Yahoo is really going to do its first round of funding in April, I guess at most in the second round, our stake will be diluted. Listening to the news brought back by Xiao Yang, Shen Lanpeng was also taken aback.

He has also worked in the financial circle for several years, and the angel round is only half a year apart from the first round, which is rare in the venture capital circle.

He doesn't know much about the rhythm of the Internet, but according to the traditional industry, this can basically be said to be fast.

"I heard that their data has increased fivefold in the last two months, and it is expected that by the end of March, UP will exceed one million, and the number of daily visits will stabilize to 10,000. If that's the case, Yahoo's funding this time won't be low. "In the early days of the Internet, everything was just getting started, and this data was nothing to a website in the future.

But now, it's completely arrogant.

"In that case, the funds we can use on our books ......" Although Shen Lanpeng also quickly made up some Internet knowledge after joining the company, he has no concept of these data that can be compared.

But depending on the boss's attention, it should be very good. It's just that there is not much money that can be used on the books of the deep sea now, after all, whether it is Tesla, Kingsoft or Nvidia, there is not much profit so far.

"Don't worry about the funds, I will transfer 10 million to you from Xiangjiang later." The money earned from foreign exchange speculation at the beginning, in addition to the five million used to invest in the North American branch, Chu Qing's overseas account still has more than three million.

This year, the funds for overseas market sales are basically in the Xiangjiang account, and if you get together a little, you can get a few million.

These are used to invest in Shen Lanpeng, and there should be no big problem.

"Then the investment direction of the United States is mainly based on the Internet?" With funds in his hands, Shen Lanpeng is also a lot bolder, he already has experience in North American investment banking, and this time he returned to North America, which is also considered to be his home field.

"It's pretty much the same, but the focus is on Yahoo, and the others are looking for a few small projects with potential. That's right. Halfway through speaking, Chu Qing seemed to suddenly think of something, took out a business card in English from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Shen Lanpeng.

"After you go over, contact this person, they want to make a memory chip. I called not long ago and asked if I was interested in investing. This is a small project, you can give them some to try first. Taking the business card, with the help of the lights on the side of the road, Shen Lanpeng saw the name on it, and the position behind Angie was an engineer.

I think it should be a relationship that the boss used to make.

"It should be difficult to enter the market to make chips now." Since joining the company, Shen Lanpeng has also learned a lot about this aspect.

I know that there are many companies that make chips in the world today. And there are several 'elephant-level' companies.

How high can the success rate of an engineer start his own business?

"It's hard to do technology at any time, but if you only do packaging design, as long as you have technology, it really doesn't cost much." Since TSMC was put into production, it has basically solved the problem of chip manufacturing.

It has given many skilled engineers the opportunity to invest in the chip industry. The reason why Dai Weili chose to invest and start a business at this time is precisely because of this.

According to traditional chip companies such as IBM, Panasonic, and Texas Instruments, just building a wafer factory is an astronomical amount.

"What's their company called?"

"Marvell." ……

"Whew~!" After a three-and-a-half-hour flight, the plane from Shenzhen to Beijing landed smoothly at the capital airport.

"Boss's side!" At about four o'clock in the afternoon, facing the cold wind, Chu Qing just walked out and saw Yangqiu Mountain waiting outside.

Since Wei Ling took the child back to the capital, Yang Qiushan, who had been following him, was left here by Chu Qing to be responsible for the security of their mother.

"How's it going at home?" As Yangqiu Mountain got on the Mercedes-Benz waiting outside, Chu Qing yawned and began to ask about the situation at home.

"Everything is fine, we moved to a new home last month, and Brother Zheng also transferred a few old comrades-in-arms to me, and now we are in two shifts, and we can basically take care of them around the clock. Even if Zhang's mother goes out with her child, two people can follow her at any time. "Since that incident in the capital in September, Chu Qing has added security personnel to his family.

It was also that incident that reminded Chu Qing that today's country is not as peaceful as in later generations. Before several strikes, all kinds of river and foreign thieves were still roaming around.

Hutong courtyards are far less safe than those of later generations. It turned out to be a courtyard house with the blessing of the aura of later generations, and it felt good, but now it seems that it has exposed a lot of problems.

Especially as he began to walk to the foreground, after continuous exposure, he would definitely be targeted by someone with a heart. He often flies around the country, his itinerary is uncertain, and there are not many opportunities to be caught.

I can't stand the fixed schedule of my wife and children at home. Think about the time when the richest man in Shizong was stabbed in the future, and the two times Yu Minhong was robbed.

There are a lot of outlaws in this era, and Chu Qing doesn't want to joke about his family. So I spent a lot of money and asked Chen Lihua to help buy a small villa in East Lake outside Dongzhimen.

The houses here are six or seven years old, and they are not much better than the newly renovated villas. The reason why Chu Qing chose this place is not only that it is in the urban area, but more importantly, it is relatively safe.

Approaching the end of the year, there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the streets of the capital. Yangqiu Mountain's car drove straight into an archway.

After turning left and right, I stopped in front of a small courtyard. As soon as the car stopped, the door of the back seat was opened.

"The boss is back!"

"When did you come back?" It was none other than Gu Cheng who had been arranged by Chu Qing to Huang Qiuwang before.

"Mr. Huang has someone to take over, Brother Zheng asked me to come back and follow you."

"If you have a heart, let's go in first." After a little thought, Chu Qing also understood what Wei Zheng meant. In the past, Chu Qing acted low-key, but this time backgammon was out of the limelight.

It's another press conference, and it's 300 million in taxes, and now there are a lot of companies that are red outside. He transferred Gu Cheng back, one was trustworthy to Chu Qing, and the other really needed a bodyguard.

"Wow wow!"

"Wow wow!" As soon as Chu Qing entered the small courtyard, he heard the child's crying in the large living room. Zhang's mother and Wei Ling hugged one by one, and the two of them were coaxing each other from afar.

"Yo! This is to know that I am back, and start welcoming me as I enter the door. Hurriedly putting down the things in his hand, Chu Qing took two quick steps and looked at the eldest daughter Wei Ling was holding first.

"No, in order to welcome you home, the two guys fought first." Wei Ling changed the posture of holding the child, so that the child could see the father who had just arrived home.

"How did you get this face?" As soon as Chu Qing leaned over, he saw a red scratch on Chu Ailing's face.

My daughter is seven months old and can basically crawl on the ground, and when I heard the sound at this moment, the emotions that I was crying just now instantly quieted down.

With a pair of big eyes open in Kazlan, he carefully looked at the handsome guy who came over.

"Your son caught it, she is okay, there is only one, and your son has three on his face." Seeing Chu Qing's distress, Wei Ling made up for it disapprovingly.

"Wow!" Maybe she understood what her mother said just now, Chu Ailing, who had just quieted down, didn't wait for Chu Qing to speak, stretched out her hands towards Chu Qing, and cried out.

The aggrieved little expression is like a little heart seeking comfort.

"Oh! Ailing is good, don't cry, don't cry! Come and hug Daddy! Seeing her daughter's aggrieved expression, Chu Qing felt her heart melt.

Hurriedly reached out and took the child from Wei Ling's hand. It's strange to say that Chu Ailing, who was crying very sadly just now, stopped crying after a while, but the sobbing one after another was still telling about the grievances she suffered.

It was Chu Xiaoming over there, who cried a lot less after being picked up by Wei Ling. When both of them were quiet, Chu Qing walked over cautiously with his eldest daughter in his arms and glanced at his son who was in his mother's arms.

Ooh! The left and right sides of the face are scratches. The small face is particularly dazzling. And at this time, Chu Ailing, who was hanging on Chu Qing's neck, did not have the grievance just now, and put one hand around Chu Qing's neck while looking at the younger brother in her mother's arms.

The expression was like that of a victorious rooster, showing off his victory like an opponent.
