[ByteDance] financing was successful, and Gu Wei's worth skyrocketed, but he didn't feel much about it.

's worth has skyrocketed by tens of billions, and it is not even as good as the first pot of gold he earned by selling the JD domain name five years ago, which made him happy.

At present, the wealth under Gu Wei's name, the largest cash income, is the money that [Wei Mingxia] company continues to earn every year.

His own income as a star is also included, and he has hundreds of millions or even billions of net profits every year.

In the past two years, because the company's development has been getting better and better, some people around him have persuaded him whether to pull other capital into the market, make [Wei Mingxia] bigger and stronger, and finally go public.

Gu Wei thought about it for a while and rejected the proposal.

First of all, he founded the company with the original purpose of serving him personally, and the predecessor of the company was his personal studio.

Later, with the gradual development and growth of the company, Gu Wei relied on his foresight and long-term vision to create one after another popular film and television dramas, which has the current scale.

But even so, Gu Wei has not forgotten the original intention of establishing the company: serving him himself, being able to execute according to his will is the key, and making money is only one of the benefits after completing the purpose.

Secondly, and most importantly, the ultimate purpose of companies in the entertainment industry going public is nothing more than to make money, use other people's money to make their own dramas, and finally win greater benefits.

When the company has a good performance, the stock rises sharply, and as a major shareholder, the wealth you own will also rise.

It looks very good, but you must know that domestic film and television companies naturally have their limits, which are determined by the size of the market, and are not swayed by people's will.

The total market value of the domestic film and television industry market is nothing in front of other industries, and it is the so-called younger brother.

Gu Wei has read an official data report for 2022 before.

The top 10 industries in China are: manufacturing, real estate, wholesale and retail, construction, finance, transportation, information technology, energy, and medical care.

Gu Wei's film and television industry is nothing compared to these big brothers.

Let's talk about the data, Gu Wei's [Wei Mingxia] is now doing so well, if it is listed, the market value will definitely be more than 10 billion, and the current highest market value in the entire film and television industry is [Huayi Brothers], with a market value of more than 80 billion when the stock price is the highest.

The overall scale of the entire domestic film and television industry is about trillions.

But not to mention anything else, as far as we all know about some well-known companies in the Internet industry, Alibaba, Tengxun, and even the future [ByteDance], each of them has a market value of more than one trillion yuan, and the total market value of several companies is higher than the total market value of the domestic film and television industry.

Not to mention Hengda in the real estate industry, the debt alone is as high as 2 trillion, and selling all the domestic film and television companies is not enough to pay off the debts of this company.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, you can become famous, make money, and pursue an artistic life, but if you want to become a top-level rich man by relying on a film and television company, don't even think about it.

Shallow water can't raise dragons.

The reason why Huayi Brothers wanted to build a film and television town in the years when the company's market value was the highest is that they saw that building a house was more profitable than making movies.

This market pool is so big, even if the money is made by you alone, you are still a little brother compared to the bigwigs in other industries.

The reason why the entertainment industry has been so popular in recent years is just because this industry is naturally an eye-catching industry, and celebrities make a lot of money, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, but going up is not something they can achieve.

Gu Wei opened a company and made a lot of money as a star, which can already allow him to enjoy the life of a top rich man, and he doesn't have to worry about money in this life.

In terms of value, even if he works hard to list [Wei Mingxia], the final market value may not be as high as the value of his shares in [ByteDance].

Not to mention that he still has shares in [miHoYo], and the money he has earned over the years to buy shares of Tengxun and Moutai is not a small number now.

With these, Gu Wei went to work hard to get [Wei Mingxia] on the market, and there was no need for that at all.

He doesn't pay attention to the increase in his worth after listing, he is not short of money for filming film and television dramas, and the company itself is a cash cow, which is also the real reason why he doesn't want the company to go public.

If the purpose at the beginning is to make the most money, then Gu Wei should not be a star, he should go to the Internet industry to work hard, and after financing and listing again and again, he will turn to the manufacturing industry, make mobile phones and cars, and this way can he become a real boss.

Of course, Gu Wei also knows that he doesn't have that ability, and with his own conditions, it's good to be a big star.

He also likes to live as a star, and can experience a variety of different lives by playing different roles, and countless fans and viewers like and worship him, for Gu Wei, being a star and an actor is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

In the company's conference room, Gu Wei sat in the main seat, Yang Liwen was the first on the left, and Zhao Mingcheng, the general manager of the film and television company who should have sat in the first place on the right, because he served as the producer of "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", is now on the set, and the executives of other departments of the company are more uniform.

"It's November now, 2016 is about to pass, and our company has produced several excellent film and television dramas this year, [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms], [Chu Qiao's Biography], [You Are My Glory], [Take My Brother Away] and [Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost] that has not yet been completed.

Among them, [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] successfully sold the copyright, and the transaction of [Chu Qiao's Biography] is still under negotiation, including [Ling is My Glory], which is still in the late stage of production, and these three dramas will be broadcast one after another next year.

I believe that with our [Wei Mingxia] well-known film and television drama production capabilities, the results of these three dramas will not be bad when they are broadcast next year! ”

As soon as the words ended, everyone in the conference room applauded.

"The two are starring Mr. Gu himself, and [Chu Qiao's Biography] also has Zhao Liying, I believe that the results of the three dramas can be a big hit"

"Boss, you are the biggest contributor to the success of our company's film and television dramas."

"Yes, yes, yes"

“.”

Although everyone is patting on the back, as long as the employees who have been in the company for a long time know how much role Gu Wei, the big star boss, has played in the rise of [Wei Mingxia], and his vision has never been missed.

Gu Wei raised his hand and pressed it.

"The company is not developed by me alone, and everyone's efforts are obvious to all, so you don't need to pat me on the back, and the year-end bonus will not be missing everyone."

"Thank you boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

"The boss is the most handsome in the world."

"I'm ashamed of this."

Gu Wei answered, everyone laughed, and the female employee who said "the most handsome in the world" was also a little embarrassed.

"Let's talk about 2017 this year.

Next month, on the 30th, [Love Saint] will be released, I don't need to emphasize anymore, the company's publicity and distribution work must be in place, and the relevant departments must do a good job of cooperating, this is the first time our company has done publicity, I hope to have a good start.

Then there are two new projects that the company will open in the first half of next year.

A movie, a TV series.

The movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is directed by Wen Muya in the company, and it is now in the preparatory stage for the casting of actors.

According to the plan, filming will officially start in February next year.

I don't need to say much about this, the staff of the crew will be chosen by the director himself, if there is no accident, it is estimated that he will still shoot the wave of people who are [Love Saint], after all, they have worked together before, and they are also familiar with the director.

The TV series will develop a [Honey Squid Stew] in our company's copyright library.

The project is still in the stage of poverty and whiteness.

The screenwriting department contacted the original author "Mobao Feibao" and invited her to adapt the original book into a TV drama script. ”

"Understood!"

Gu Wei turned his head to look at Yang Liwen again.

"Sister Yang, you go and contact Director Liu Junjie, I cooperated with him when I filmed [Shanshan is Coming] at the earliest, if there is no problem, invite him to become the director of this TV series."

Yang Liwen nodded when she heard the command.

"The script and director are finalized before we can start preparations for casting and other aspects, and I expect the film to start in March and April next year, which is a lot of time."

"Boss, will you appear in this TV series?"

Yang Liwen asked.

Whether Gu Wei can play the leading role is related to the success rate of inviting director Liu Junjie.

If you divide TV dramas by various video platforms in the future, the dramas starring Gu Wei must be S-level big projects, and if you don't, it will be A-level at most.

Gu Wei touched his chin.

"I will act, just after the recording of [Hua Shao 3] next year, I will join the group to shoot this drama."

"Understood~"

After getting Gu Wei's affirmation, Yang Liwen was full of confidence in inviting Director Liu.

"Oh~ That's right, everyone.

The name of this new drama has been changed, and it is not called [Squid Stewed in Honey].

Change it to [dear, loved]! ”

After a busy day's work, Gu Wei came out of the company and came to Jinmao Mansion Community.

During the day, he received a call from Yang Mi, inviting him to come to his house for dinner, and Gu Wei readily agreed without thinking about it.

The matter of settling in [Douyin] some time ago was a small favor for Yang Mi, and Gu Wei also promised to thank her personally when they met.

Of course, in a way that both people have a tacit understanding.

Now that Yang Mi has returned to the capital after the completion of the movie, he contacted Gu Wei as soon as possible.

The car drove to the underground parking lot, and Gu Wei took the elevator directly upstairs with a mask and a cap.

went up to the floor of Yang Mi's house, walked to the door and rang the doorbell, and within a few seconds, the door was opened.

"Sister Mi."

Gu Wei greeted with a smile.

"It's coming pretty fast~"

Yang Mi was wearing a pale pink loungewear, loose and fat, looking very comfortable, wrapping her hot figure inside.

Long wavy hair was scattered on both sides of his shoulders, a beautiful pretty face with fair and pink skin, and big moist eyes looked at Gu Wei at the door, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

After Gu Wei entered the door, he changed his shoes, took off his coat, and handed Yang Mi a gift box that he had been holding in his hand.

"What's that?"

"A gift for your sister"

The box is not big, there is a clear Cartier logo on the outside, Yang Mi opened, inside is a string of bracelets, white gold chain body, inlaid with a large, two small and three emeralds, and the gem is surrounded by a small circle of broken diamonds.

Yang Mi was not polite, and directly took it out and put it on his wrist, the emerald color is pure and deep, the diamond is dazzling, and the whole bracelet looks like an elegant and noble temperament.

"It's beautiful, isn't this piece of jewelry cheap?"

Yang Mi raised his hand and looked left and right, looking very satisfied with Gu Wei's gift.

"It doesn't matter what the price is, no matter how expensive the jewelry is, it is also its luck to be able to wear it on the secret sister."

Yang Mi listened to Gu Wei's words and raised his head to carefully examine Gu Wei's face.

"What, do I have dirt on my face?"

Gu Wei was puzzled.

"I've known you for so many years, and I've found that you're getting better at saying pretty things and coaxing little girls."

"Sister Mi, I was kind enough to give you a gift, but you think of me like this, it's so sad~"

Gu Wei made a grievance.

"Okay, I've got my meal, let's wash my hands and eat together."

Yang Mi didn't care about him, covered the box in his hand, didn't take off the bracelet, and just wore it and said.

After a while, the two of them sat down at the dinner table.

"Hu~ Sister Mi, I've known you for so long, why don't you know when you're so good at cooking?"

After sitting down, Gu Wei looked at the table of various dishes and asked with some surprise.

Yang Mi opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for the two of them.

"I ordered these dishes at a Lu restaurant near the community, and I often eat his food, and it tastes pretty good."

With the relationship between the two, Gu Wei didn't pay much attention to it, picked up the wine glass and took a sip with Yang Mi, and began to eat.

The two chatted while eating, and after a while, they drank half a bottle of red wine.

"Gu Wei, how many shares do you have in the development company of the [Douyin] APP that you asked me to settle in before?"

Yang Mi took a sip of wine, his face was slightly red, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes squinted slightly at Gu Wei.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

"After I returned to Beijing, I went to the company, and Zeng Jia said that the company called [ByteDance] had just successfully raised funds two days ago, with a market value of 12 billion US dollars.

Didn't you say you were a shareholder before, and I'm curious how many shares you have in it? ”

Gu Wei looked at Yang Mi with a curious expression, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He didn't speak, holding out a finger.

"One percent?

It's a lot, according to the total valuation of 120 million US dollars, and the company's valuation will continue to rise in the future, and the shares in your hands will become more and more valuable. ”

Yang Mi was a little surprised, but he thought that Gu Wei's identity was not as simple as a star, and he understood that his net worth increased by 120 million US dollars.

She debuted in 03, but she really made money after [Palace] became popular in 11 years, and now it has been 5 years.

According to the statistics of the Forbes celebrity list, Yang Mi ranked 7th in 13 years, with an income of 43.7 million, and 6th in 14 years, with an income of 52 million.

After the arrival of the traffic era in the last two years, her income soared, exceeding 100 million every year, and she earned more than 400 million in 5 years.

Coupled with her shares in [Jiaxing Media], it is worth about 240 million after the last financing.

So her total net worth now is probably less than 700 million yuan.

Of course, there are also taxes and all kinds of expenses she spends on herself as a star.

Thinking that he had worked hard for many years and was not as profitable as Gu Wei casually investing in a company, Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei with envy and jealousy.

There is no way, who makes her not have such a solid family background and accurate vision as Gu Wei.

Gu Wei listened to Yang Mi's words, shook his head with a smile, and put his hand down.

"A few years ago, [ByteDance] encountered financial difficulties, and I happened to have some money in my hand at that time, and I was optimistic about the future development of the company, so I invested some money in it.

Later, after two rounds of funding, my stake was diluted a bit, and now I have 11% left. ”

This kind of thing, Yang Mi asked, Gu Wei had nothing to hide, and told her generously.

“11%！”

Yang Mi's originally slightly narrowed eyes widened instantly, and his brain, which scored 585 points in the college entrance examination, spun rapidly, and a result was given in an instant.

"That's $1.32 billion!"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei and took a deep breath and spit it out.

The news that Gu Wei said was true, which shocked her a little.

She originally knew that Gu Wei was very rich and had made a lot of popular movies and TV series, and she benefited hundreds of millions of dollars from them.

But there is no accurate idea of how much money he has.

Now that he knows his stake in [ByteDance], coupled with the company under his name, there is no doubt that Gu Wei's wealth is definitely more than 10 billion yuan.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi's eyes became more and more enthusiastic when he looked at Gu Wei.

Gu Wei, who already had a superb appearance, was even more handsome in her eyes, as if the whole person was covered with a halo called "money", shining and stinging her eyes.

Of course, the attraction is even fuller.

"In your 20s, with a net worth of tens of billions, Gu Wei, you really refreshed my perception of you again"

Yang Mi clasped his hands together and propped them on the table, his fair chin resting lightly on it, and his voice became more and more coquettish.

Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand.

"It's all valuation, it's just paper wealth, you can't cash out and it's just looking good"

Yang Mi knows that he is just modest, and the shares of Internet companies that are on the rise will only become more and more valuable.

What's more, the financing has just been completed, if Gu Wei wants to sell the shares in his hands, some capital is willing to take over.

The meal was almost eaten, Yang Mi's eyes became more and more confused when she looked at Gu Wei, and the whole person was also a little drunk, and she stretched out her tender white hand to Gu Wei.

"I wonder if what Mr. Billionaire said before counts?"

Gu Wei stood up with a smile, grabbed Yang Mi's hand, and gently pulled her into his arms.

The two bodies fit together, and the clear touch of the upper body made Gu Wei feel a little dry.

He hugged the other party's willow waist with one hand, held Yang Mi's cheek with the other, lowered his head and kissed it.

"Is this thank you sincere?"

After kissing for a while, the two of them put their heads on their heads, their lips apart, and Gu Wei asked softly.

Yang Mi's originally closed eyes slowly opened a slit, and his mouth was panting rapidly.

"It's okay, but whether it's sincere or not depends on the performance later"

"Sister Mi, you know me, when did you disappoint you"

There is only one chapter left today.
