Chapter 228 I, a scumbag, feel like I’m a bit too scumbag

On the way to the China Film Studio, Lin Yicheng went over in his mind everything that had happened from the airport to home.

Well, he didn’t say anything wrong. He didn’t show any special attention to Gulinaza, nor did he show any closeness to her.

The size, heat and distance are all just right.

Jing Tian shouldn't be able to find any faults or flaws.

He, Lin Yicheng, is not afraid of his shadow even if his body is crooked!

Bah, a man of integrity has nothing to fear!

The figure of Gulinaza reappeared in Lin Yicheng's mind.

Especially the photo just now, as if it was taken by a camera, was deeply engraved in his heart.

If one day, it really looks like in the photo...

No, what are you thinking about!

Gulinaza is only 15 years old!
Lin Yicheng reminded himself for the Nth time.

I can only blame myself for working too hard on playing Mr. Cream lately. I’ve completely immersed myself in the role and it’s become an occupational disease.

Being an actor is not an easy job. You really have to get into the role.

Lin Yicheng attributed all the reasons to this point.

As for him?
Of course he is not wrong.

Even if he is really wrong, does that mean others are not wrong?
……

In the next few days, Jing Tian was successfully enrolled in school and became a member of the 07 acting class of Beijing Film Academy.

Guli Nazha also got into the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy. Thanks to Jing Tian's connections, she didn't encounter any trouble at all.

Fan Xiaopang is busy working as a designer, and no one from the company comes.

pretty good.

Lin Yicheng, who was finally able to return to his full-time job, began to go back and forth between home, company, and editing room.

By mid-September, the film editing was completed.

Only the interludes, dubbing, subtitles and the like are left, and they can be completed before the end of September.

There is no problem in arranging it to be released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

This smooth progress was possible thanks to the help of Ji Jie and Wang Liming.

During this period of time, they basically eat and live here and rarely go home.

He cares about it more than Lin Yicheng himself.

Especially Wang Liming, he couldn't help Lin Yicheng with other things, he couldn't contribute much, he could only try his best to do what he could and help Lin Yicheng relieve some of the pressure.

Recently, Wang Liming has no time to visit Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama to observe actresses.

It can be seen how much he cares.

……

After greeting the two people, Lin Yicheng came to the company.

Brother Xu is waiting for him.

"Orange, there's no problem on my end. The equipment and production lines are all in place. There are enough employees as well. When do you plan to start?"

As soon as he saw Lin Yicheng, Brother Xu asked directly.

Hearing this, Lin Yicheng could only sigh that Brother Xu is worthy of being Brother Xu.

This kind of energy is enviable.

"I don't have any problems here. I've already designed some relevant drawings. I can try to produce a batch of samples right away. Let's take a look first."

"Okay, then I'll notify them and start work tomorrow."

"OK."

"By the way, Orange, which designer are you looking for?"

"Master Fan." Lin Yicheng smiled.

"Master Fan?" Brother Xu was stunned. Why had he never heard of this number one figure?
"Fan Bingbing."

"She? Can she?" Brother Xu asked in surprise.

"Chengzi, don't joke with me. I have everything ready. I am just waiting to have a fight with you. You are a designer, she..."

Brother Xu didn't say the rest, but Lin Yicheng understood.

"Don't worry, there's no problem. You'll know when the time comes." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

……

When he first saw Fan Xiaopang's design drawings, he was indeed fooled and thought they were really Fan Xiaopang's work.

But, I came to my senses later.

What's more, all the people in the company are his, so he can know everything.

Bu Kewen locked himself in his office every day and devoted himself to his creative work.

However, I didn’t see any drawings. Where did they go?
Lin Yicheng knew Bu Kewen's abilities very well.

Then the answer is obvious.

Lin Yicheng just didn't want to point it out.

As a woman, what's wrong with satisfying her vanity?

Besides, this brand originally featured Fan Xiaopang, and the main products were designed by her personally.

This is the biggest selling point.

Of course, Lin Yicheng will not treat Bu Kewen unfairly.

He will also be given the title of designer, on par with Fan Xiaopang.

In addition, the remuneration will also be adequate.

……

"Okay, as long as you have confidence." Seeing this, Brother Xu didn't say much.

"By the way, I have asked what you asked me to ask last time."

"What did he say? What was his attitude?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"The stock market has been sluggish recently, and it's hard to say when it will recover. He already wanted to sell off his shares to cash out. When he heard that you were willing to take over, he said he was open to negotiation, but the price had to satisfy him."

"Did he say how much he wanted to give?"

"They didn't say that, but I guess it won't be too much. Everyone knows that this wave of stock market crash will eventually pass, and it's not worthwhile to sell too much now."

"Okay, the portion I want is not too much for him."

The person the two were talking about was none other than Zhang Zhidong, one of the founders of Tencent.

In his previous life, starting from this year, Zhang Zhidong would gradually reduce his holdings of Tencent shares until he cleared them all and left Tencent.

Lin Yicheng certainly couldn't miss this opportunity.

He didn't know Zhang Zhidong and had no connection with the Internet circle.

So, I asked Brother Xu to help and act as a middleman.

The Chang'an Club where Brother Xu is located is one of the top four clubs in the country, along with the China Club, Beijing Club, and BJ America Club.

This circle brings together elites from all walks of life, and there are only a small number of people.

At present, Brother Xu is helping to introduce Lin Yicheng to the Changan Club.

Lin Yicheng has enough identity, status, wealth, and fame.

The reason why Lin Yicheng wanted to join this club was to further expand his network.

After all, the entertainment industry of the future will no longer be just the entertainment industry.

"See if you are free. I'll make an appointment for you and you can talk in person." Brother Xu said again.

"I'm free today and tomorrow, go see him. As for the location, just go to your club."

"Well, wait for my news."

……

Two days later, Lin Yicheng met Zhang Zhidong in Brother Xu's club.

Lin Yicheng talked with him for nearly an entire afternoon and finally reached an agreement.

Lin Yicheng bought 15% of Tencent shares from Zhang Zhidong at a premium of 1.7% based on Tencent's stock price on that day.

As a result, together with the circulating shares he had previously acquired on the stock market, Lin Yicheng's shareholding in Tencent reached 4.6%.

It is only a small part away from his goal of 5%.

According to Hong Kong Stock Exchange regulations, shareholders holding less than 5% of the shares are not required to disclose personal information to the public.

Of course, people inside Tencent and Pony Ma will definitely know about it.

It would be impossible for Zhang Zhidong to conceal the transfer of so many shares, and there was no need for him to hide it for Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng also agreed with Zhang Zhidong that if he wanted to continue to reduce his holdings in the future, Lin Yicheng would be willing to continue to take them.

Affected by the stock market crash, Tencent's market value has fallen below 900 billion yuan and returned to billion yuan.

Lin Yicheng spent nearly 1.7 billion yuan to acquire this 18% stake!

As for where this money came from.

Lin Yicheng, who had known that the subprime mortgage crisis was coming, took advantage of the Americans and found professionals to help him short the US stock index futures.

Due to limited capital, Lin Yicheng did not dare to increase leverage, so he did not make much.

After deducting the handling fees, commissions, etc., the net profit was two small goals, in US dollars.

Converted into RMB, it is a little over 16 billion.

Lin Yicheng was very satisfied with this.

It’s enough to get these from the Americans.

If there are more, do you really think the China Securities Regulatory Commission or related agencies are fools?

If you pull too much, it will attract attention and you can't get it back. What's the point?

……

The shares of Tencent have been obtained, Brother Xu is also ready, and Fan Xiaopang has also "designed" the drawings.

There is one more thing that needs to be resolved.

channel.

Sales channels for fashion brands.

This kind of brand cannot be purchased online at all.

It's too cheap and doesn't match the brand positioning.

Moreover, the current online shopping platforms are not yet mature, and the concept of online shopping is not yet deeply rooted in people’s minds.

Therefore, Lin Yicheng's fashion brand can only be sold offline, in physical stores.

Brother Xu can't help in this regard, so Lin Yicheng can only rely on himself.

Lin Yicheng himself had no solution, but others had solutions, such as Jing Tian.

Lin Yicheng went home directly from the club. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jing Tian waiting for her.

Jing Tian is already a college student, so of course she has much more freedom. She goes to Beijing Film Academy every morning and comes back in the afternoon.

Gulinaza's life was a little harder. He could only come back once a weekend and stayed at school the rest of the time.

……

"You're back." Jing Tian greeted him happily like a young wife, took out slippers from the shoe cabinet and helped him change into them.

"I can do it myself." Lin Yicheng said this, but his body was honest and he enjoyed Jing Tian's service.

"It's okay. I can't help you. I can only do these little things."

"Who said you can't help me? You can help me eat sausages and drink milk." Lin Yicheng said politely.

"Hate it, stop talking." Jing Tian blushed and punched Lin Yicheng lightly with her pink fist.

Big Orange is always like this, often saying such blushing words to tease her.

It made her feel itchy inside and her body soft.

Seeing this, Lin Yicheng's fingers moved violently, but he did not forget the main business.

Lin Yicheng pulled Jing Tian to the sofa.

"Seriously, I'm in trouble right now and I need your help."

"Well, Big Orange, tell me, what do you need me to do?" Jing Tian said without hesitation.

"I remember you said before that you have a good relationship with your Uncle Wang?"

"Uncle Wang? Oh, you mean Uncle Wang Jianlin. Of course he is good. He and my dad are old comrades-in-arms. Our two families have been in contact for many years."

"What's wrong, Big Orange? Is what you said related to Uncle Wang?"

"Yes, that's right. I plan to set up a brand that focuses on fashion trends..." At this point, Lin Yicheng suddenly got stuck.

……

He found himself negligent.

He had never mentioned this matter to Jing Tian before, so it wasn't important.

What’s important is that this brand focuses on Fan Xiaopang, and all products are designed around her, and she will also be used for promotion in the future.

Then, let Jing Tian help with this...

Even though Lin Yicheng was already a qualified scumbag, he felt that he was a bit too scumbag at this moment.

"Huh? What's wrong with this brand?" Jing Tian asked.

"Oh, that's it." Lin Yicheng cleared his throat, picked up the water on the table, and drank half a glass slowly.

The brain is working at a very fast speed.

"Big orange?"

"Oh, I was just thinking about whether it would be appropriate to ask your Uncle Wang for help with this matter."

"Hey, you speak first." Jing Tian urged.

"I prepared this fashionable brand especially for you."

"Ah?" Jing Tian exclaimed.

"Yes, the brand name is HL, short for Heart Love, which means love in the heart. What do you think?"

"I, I feel great."

Jing Tian felt as if she had drunk a cup of warm honey water, which warmed and sweetened her heart.

"You are going to enter the entertainment industry, right? I'm thinking that this brand will focus on you in the future. All products will be designed around you, and you will also be used for promotion in the future."

"Tiantian, do you think it's okay?"

"Yeah, no problem, Big Orange, you're so nice to me." As he said that, Jing Tian threw himself into Lin Yicheng's arms and rubbed his head against his chest.

"But, as you know, establishing a new brand involves a lot of trouble. There are design and production in the early stages, and sales and promotion in the later stages."

"At present, I have prepared everything else, except for the sales channels."

"It just so happens that your Uncle Wang has Wanda shopping malls all over the country."

"I was thinking, can you help me make some connections and introduce me to him to see if we can work together. Let the HL brand enter his Wanda Market."

"Okay, no problem, Big Orange, I'll definitely help you."

Jing Tian decided in her heart that no matter what, she must make Dachengzi and Uncle Wang cooperate.

By then, the HL brand will appear across the country, and everyone will know that this is Big Orange's love for her.

Big Orange, this is his way of expressing how much he loves himself.

HL, Heart Love, heart love.

Thinking of the name of this brand and its meaning, Jing Tian was a little dazed.

……

Seeing this, Lin Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not lie to Jing Tian. The brand's registered trademark and name were indeed HL.

However, it is not certain which two words HL is the abbreviation of.

It can mean Heart Love, love in heart.

It can also be Healthy Lifestyle, healthy living.

A scumbag will never fail!
……

"No, Big Orange, there is a problem." Jing Tian, ​​who was immersed in sweetness, suddenly spoke.

"What's the problem?" Lin Yicheng's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was tense.

"You just said that this brand is promoting me, but I'm not famous right now. I just became a little famous because of that EP."

"If I promote it, will it be completely ineffective?"

"This..." Lin Yicheng looked hesitant, as if he had neglected this consideration before.

"It's okay. You will definitely be famous in the future. It won't be too late to launch this brand then. It's your brand anyway, you can't escape it." Lin Yicheng smiled and came up with an idea.

"But didn't you say that everything else is ready? Design, production, etc. If it's delayed, will you be affected or suffer losses?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if there are impacts and losses, they are nothing compared to you."

"No, Big Orange, I can't be so selfish. Let's launch this brand as soon as possible." Jing Tian said seriously.

She couldn't let Big Orange suffer any loss.

"Then do you have any good ideas? Besides you, who else can be the spokesperson?" Lin Yicheng asked patiently.

"Hmm~" Jing Tian thought for a moment and suddenly said, "How about letting Sister Bingbing be the spokesperson first? She is famous and has high commercial value."

"No, no." Lin Yicheng shook his head like a rattle.

"This is a brand I specially prepared for you. I spent hundreds of millions of dollars and put so many relationships and connections on it. How can I ask her to be the spokesperson? No, absolutely not."

"Ah? Big Orange, why did you spend so much?" Jing Tian asked in surprise.

"It's just a few hundred million. As long as you are happy, Tiantian, what does it matter if I spend all my money?"

"Even if I become a pauper, you will still love me, right?"

"Of course, Big Orange, whether you are rich or poor, I will never leave you and will always follow you." Jing Tian nodded vigorously with a firm tone.

"Big Orange, it's settled. Let Bingbing be the spokesperson in the early stages. When I become famous in the future, I will be the spokesperson."
