Chapter 439: Ranked among the best in the entertainment industry
The two discussed some details and discussed some trends and developments of the company in the future.
At noon, Gu Wei had a simple meal with Zhang Yi in the canteen of [ByteDance], said goodbye to each other in the afternoon, and planned to fly to Changsha on last night's flight.
Although Gu Wei now takes his own private jet every time he travels, he also has to apply for a route in advance before flying, and he doesn't fly whenever he wants.
On the way to the airport, he called Yang Liwen and Zeng Jia respectively.
It's very simple to explain to your own company.
The rest naturally have the agents of various artists in the company to worry about them and help them get accounts to shoot videos or something.
Zeng Jia said a little more, but as the company's major shareholder, this kind of thing can be regarded as an advertising endorsement for all artists in Jiaxing, which is a good thing.
"No problem, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I'll arrange the work when I go back, you can let [Douyin] contact me directly"
In the office, Zeng Jia hung up the phone with a smile on her face.
She sat in her office chair, her fingers tapping on the tabletop, and thought about calling the assistant in.
"Go and find Director Li~"
She has no opinion on Gu Wei's request to let the artists of [Jiaxing Media] settle in the software called [Douyin], but she is still a little curious.
Zeng Jia joined Rongxinda in 2000 and has been deeply involved in the entertainment industry.
"Mr. Zeng, are you looking for me?"
After a while, Li Juan knocked on the door and came in.
"Did you know that there is an app called [Douyin] on the market now?"
Li Juan looked surprised, and didn't understand what Zeng Jia meant by calling him over to ask this.
However, she worked in investment banking for a period of time before joining [Jiaxing Media], and she has always paid attention to the Internet.
"[Douyin] I just knew that it is a new music short video APP, which has not been online for a long time now, and the number of users is not large."
In fact, at this time period, [Douyin] is really not famous, and the original time and space were also completed at the end of 2016 [ByteDance] D round of financing, and a large number of resources were invested in [Douyin], and it began to become uncontrollable and popular all over the Internet.
Zeng Jia nodded, explained to Li Juan, and told her about Gu Wei's request for the company's artists to settle in [Douyin].
"Mr. Zeng, did Mr. Gu really tell you that he is a shareholder of [Douyin] Development Company?"
Li Juan listened to Zeng Jia's words, and did not react to the artist's entry into this short video APP, but was surprised that Gu Wei admitted that he was a shareholder of [Douyin] Company.
"That's right, Mr. Gu asked casually after asking for it, and he said that he had shares in that Internet company."
Zeng Jia didn't think it was a big deal, she knew that Gu Wei was very rich, and it was not new for celebrities to invest now.
Huang Xiaoming is a well-known investor in the circle, and he has made a lot of money in this area.
However, most celebrities in the entertainment industry will only open restaurants and do some catering-related industries, because the threshold is low, and their own fame can help the store.
As for other industries, with the education and ability of most celebrities, the chance of investing in them is greater.
Zeng Jia didn't think that the Internet companies invested by Gu Wei could be big in the end.
"Mr. Zeng, I don't know, the APP [Douyin] is not important, the important thing is the company behind it."
"Is there anything special?"
Zeng Jia looked puzzled.
"The development company of [Douyin] is called [ByteDance], and you may feel unfamiliar with this name, but I want to say [Today's Headlines] You must know that it is also their company's product."
Li Juan said [Today's headlines] Zeng Jia suddenly realized.
"I know this, I still have the [Today's Headlines] APP in my phone.
It seems that the [ByteDance] you said has done a very successful job! ”
"It's more than just success~"
Li Juan took a deep breath.
"Mr. Zeng, you know that I used to work in investment banking, but in fact, after coming to our company, I have always paid attention to some things in the investment banking circle.
This [ByteDance] is now a rising star in the Internet industry.
Especially recently, they are talking about Series D financing, led by the well-known [Sequoia Fund] in the investment world.
I heard from a friend that the valuation of this round of [ByteDance] can almost reach 10 billion US dollars! ”
"Ten billion? Dollars? ”
Zeng Jia listened to Li Juan's words, her eyes widened, and she had an expression of disbelief.
[Jiaxing Media] last financing, with a valuation of 1.5 billion, she felt that it was already very remarkable, and she worked hard for more than ten years to finally create a large company with a market value of more than one billion.
Now that I hear that the valuation of an Internet company in which Gu Wei has a stake is 10 billion US dollars, Jiaxing is like a little ant on the side of an elephant compared to others, and the impact in my heart can be imagined.
Li Juan also knew Zeng Jia's thoughts when she saw her expression, and she comforted.
"Mr. Zeng, the Internet industry is different from the film and television industry, the plate is much bigger than ours, as long as they can create an excellent and popular product, the company's valuation will skyrocket, you don't have to compare with them."
Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand.
"I know and understand that compared with those Internet giants, these companies in the entertainment industry are not worth mentioning in terms of size.
It's just that I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have his own arrangement in the Internet industry.
Although he didn't say how many shares he owned, even five percent was equivalent to two [Jiaxing Media].
Really good people, no matter what they do, they are amazing.
Although the film and television company under his own name has not been financed, it has frequently produced popular works in recent years, which is much stronger than our Jiaxing, and if it is valuated, there must be billions.
Looking at it this way, Mr. Gu's worth is also among the best in the entire entertainment industry."
Li Juan smiled as she listened to Zeng Jia's sigh.
"Mr. Zeng, in fact, this is a good thing, Gu is always the major shareholder of our company, the stronger his ability, the deeper the background, for our company, there is only good and no harm.
If there is any problem that cannot be solved in the future, you can find him, after all, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and Jiaxing is also making money for him when it develops. ”
"Haha~ You're right!
Xiaoli, go and call Vice President Zhao."
Zeng Jia laughed and beckoned the assistant to call Zhao Ruoyao, she planned to explain the task assigned by Gu Wei first.
Gu Wei took a car to the airport, waited for a while, and boarded his private jet.
I opened my laptop to deal with some work, and it was getting late outside the cabin, and the G550 flew towards Changsha in the night.
Gu Wei's private jet has a special satellite base station, so even on the plane, you can make calls on the Internet normally without delaying anything.
After a while, Gu Wei closed the computer and thought about it, and called Yang Mi.
is different from other celebrities, from [Wei Mingxia] to [Jiaxing Media], only Yang Mi is his partner, not a subordinate.
Although he had already told Zeng Jia, Gu Wei felt that it was still necessary to mention it to Yang Mi, this was a sign of respect for others.
Moreover, there are so many star artists in the two companies, Gu Wei is alone in one file, Nazha and Zhang Tianai have now been promoted to the top and become first-line actresses because of their support, but compared with Yang Mi, who has been popular in the circle for many years, 85 flowers, whether in terms of the number of fans, the national degree or the ability to lead dramas, they are a little worse.
To [Douyin] diversion, the little star can't play a big role, and it really depends on Gu Wei and Yang Mi.
"Hello?
Why did you suddenly remember to call me, it's really strange? ”
The phone was connected, and Yang Mi's somewhat lazy little milk voice came.
She was now applying a mask in her hotel room after filming today, and she was a little surprised to receive a call from Gu Wei.
Usually, even if she contacts Gu Wei, she takes the initiative to contact the other party, and most of the times she sends WeChat, Gu Wei rarely takes the initiative to call her.
"How's the Secret Sister movie?"
"Very good, everything went well.
By the way, do you know Huo Jianhua, who I work with? ”
"How?"
"Brother Hua said, I don't resent you for the title of the first appearance in internal entertainment, I have the opportunity to PK with you, haha"
Yang Mi turned his head and sold it to Huo Jianhua.
"Sister Mi, don't laugh, how can I have the title of the first in internal entertainment?"
"Your fans gave you a seal, and I don't think even the fans of other male stars have any objections."
"It's all fans joking, how can you take it seriously.
But Brother Hua is really handsome, when I was a child, I watched him play [No. 1 in the World] "Returning to the Sea" is really handsome and cool! ”
"Understood, I'll tell Brother Hua tomorrow when I'm filming, Gu Wei said you're too old"
Gu Wei on the other side of the phone looked helpless.
After casually talking to Yang Mi for a while, Gu Wei got down to business.
"That's it, didn't you tell Zeng Jia about it, what are you calling me for?"
Yang Mi didn't take what Gu Wei said seriously, she only felt that it was no different from the usual product endorsements.
"Sister Mi, you are different after all, we are partners, how can I ask for your opinion!"
"Hehe~ You little mouth is sweet, you have told a lot of little girls a word, right?"
Yang Mi, who was lying on her back on the bed listening to the phone, was unceremoniously sarcastic, and when she was with Gu Wei, she would think about scolding him from time to time.
The two of them have known each other since filming [Ancient Sword Strange Tan], from friends to "good friends" and now partners with common interests, she is a little uneasy about Gu Wei, a big scumbag, after all, and it has become a habit to meet and chat with each other.
"Am I so unbearable in your heart?"
"It's worse than you think"
"Sister Mi, I am sad when you say that~"
"Forget it, I won't tease you, I know the matter, there is no problem, but when I go back to the capital to rest after filming this film, you have to come and thank me."
Yang Mi held the phone in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly when he said the last sentence.
“.”
After agreeing to some unequal treaties with Yang Mi, Gu Wei hung up the phone, it seems that after this period of time, he will inevitably have to work harder, but fortunately, he has never been his opponent.
