Chapter 290 I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious yet (ask for monthly ticket)
When Cao Guowei arrived at Xinghe Film and Television Company, Li Yuefang arranged for him to wait in the reception room.
Lin Yicheng is on the phone.
With Brother Xu.
"Thank you this time."
"We are two brothers, why should we be polite? I have been annoyed with those bastards for a long time." On the other end of the phone, Brother Xu continued with a nonchalant tone.
"Those bastards have been lawless for too long!"
"We can't get through now, there's nothing we can do."
"Let's first deal with these clowns and let them know where we are. This is our territory! It's not theirs!"
"Well, I won't say much. Say hello to Uncle Xu for me. I'll visit him when I have time." Lin Yicheng said.
"Easy to say."
-
After hanging up the phone with Brother Xu, Lin Yicheng smiled.
This is the benefit of having many uncles.
Things that seem extremely difficult to others can be solved by just a phone call for him.
This time, Uncle Xu and godfather took action one after another. How could Sina stop them?
When Sina encountered trouble, the stock price reacted the fastest and most obviously.
In the past two days, the stock price of Sina, which is listed on the Nasdaq in the United States, has plummeted.
Lin Yicheng once again borrowed Brother Xu's professional team and took the opportunity to buy up a large number of Sina shares.
In addition to the 4.6% shares he already held, the team helped him acquire and hold another 3.5%.
In this way, Lin Yicheng's total shareholding reached 8.1%.
It’s just that the 3.5% has not yet been gathered in his name, and the outside world doesn’t know about it, and neither does Sina itself.
This time, Brother Xu did not follow others to buy at the bottom.
It's inconvenient and inappropriate.
Uncle Xu just took over Sina, and right after that his son became a shareholder. Anyone who is not a fool would know that there is something going on.
-
"How long has Cao Guowei been waiting?" Lin Yicheng asked Li Yuefang through the internal phone.
"Almost half an hour." Li Yuefang replied.
"Well, let him come over."
After a while, Cao Guowei was led into the office by Li Yuefang.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of visiting you." Cao Guowei and Lin Yicheng had only spoken on the phone before and had never met.
At this moment, as soon as he saw Lin Yicheng, he immediately nodded and bowed.
Look at the use of this little word.
This attitude is as humble as it can be.
He no longer looked as rebellious as before.
"Mr. Cao, you're welcome. Please take a seat." Lin Yicheng's attitude was also very enthusiastic.
Don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
"Come, have some tea."
After Lin Yicheng asked Cao Guowei to sit down, he slowly and methodically began to make tea.
Cao Guowei looked at Lin Yicheng slowly boiling water and rinsing the tea set and couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Lin, I..."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Lin Yicheng halfway through his words.
"This is the best Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao. Although it is not the mother plant, it is also Beidou No. 1 from Beidou Peak. I also spent a lot of effort to get these few taels."
After hearing this, Cao Guowei's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't think that Lin Yicheng was just talking about tea.
He knew something about Dahongpao.
All tea produced from the mother plant will be sent into the sea.
For the big guys to taste and as a gift to distinguished foreign guests.
Outsiders can't get it at all.
Among the three plants that survived by cutting ears from the mother plant, one was the Beidou-1.
The tea leaves of these three plants are basically monopolized by other powerful tycoons.
Where is Wuyi Mountain?
In Fujian Province.
Where was Zone J that issued the emergency notice two days ago?
Still there.
Cao Guowei immediately understood that Lin Yicheng was calling on him.
-
"Mr. Lin, I think..." Cao Guowei spoke again.
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Lin Yicheng again.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."
"This Da Hong Pao is Kung Fu tea. There are so many things to pay attention to when it comes to Kung Fu tea."
"For example, when tasting tea, you have to take it slowly, sip it first, savor it second, and savor it third, so that you can fully experience the aroma of the tea."
Hearing Lin Yicheng's leisurely words, Cao Guowei's heart skipped a beat again.
What do you mean?
One sip, two sips to savor, three sips to savour?
Does this mean that taking away Sina’s top executives and shutting down Sina’s website isn’t enough?
There is a third step?
Sina is already like this!
What will this third step be?
For a moment, Cao Guowei didn't dare to think any further.
A layer of sweat broke out on his back.
For a moment, the whole office was extremely quiet.
There was only the rustling sound of water washing over the tea set.
This sound is like a death note.
It is taking Cao Guowei's life.
I do not know how long it has been.
Cao Guowei really couldn't bear this silent pressure and that ignorant fear.
"Mr. Lin, the reason I came here this time is just to..." Cao Guowei couldn't help but speed up his speech, wanting to say it before Lin Yicheng interrupted him.
There is still progress.
At least he said a few more words than before.
However, his words were interrupted by Lin Yicheng for the third time.
"Look at you, you're anxious again." Lin Yicheng smiled.
"Boss Lin, I'm not in a hurry, I just..."
"Forget it, drink it. Even though it's still a little off, it's drinkable."
As he spoke, Lin Yicheng pushed a small teacup in front of Cao Guowei.
Cao Guowei took it in a daze.
He was still thinking about the deep meaning of Lin Yicheng's words just now.
"Drink." Lin Yicheng urged.
"Oh." Cao Guowei nodded repeatedly.
He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp without caring about anything else.
"How does it taste?" Lin Yicheng asked with a smile.
"Good tea, really good! This is the first time I drink such good tea." Cao Guowei praised it endlessly.
In fact, the tea was a little hot, and he swallowed it directly without savoring it in his mouth.
Besides, the house is already burning with anger, how can he have the mind to drink tea?
-
"Mr. Cao, what brings you here this time?" Lin Yicheng asked.
Cao Guowei was stunned again.
Just now he tried to speak several times, but was interrupted every time.
When Lin Yicheng asked this out of the blue, he almost didn't react.
However, it only took a moment for Cao Guowei to come back to his senses.
"Boss Lin, I would like to ask you to show mercy and let Sina go."
"Huh? What does Sina have to do with me?"
"You are also a shareholder of Sina. Now that Sina's stock price has plummeted, your interests have also been damaged."
"Haha, that little bit of shares doesn't matter to me. I'll just lose it. It's just a lesson learned. I'll have to be careful when investing next time."
Lin Yicheng smiled and continued, "It depends on the company's senior management whether it is worth investing in. Mr. Cao, is that right?"
Having said that, Cao Guowei knew clearly.
The reason why Lin Yicheng destroyed Sina was because of Weibo.
It is impossible for Sina to survive without bleeding or cutting losses.
As long as Lin Yicheng can be satisfied, all the problems facing Sina will be solved.
"Boss Lin, let's not beat around the bush. If you have any requests or conditions, just state them."
"Haha, Mr. Cao is open-minded. I'll just say it straight."
"All ears."
"My condition is still the same: to invest in Weibo."
"No problem." Cao Guowei agreed quickly.
If Lin Yicheng only had this condition, he would be able to make the decision.
The remaining senior executives of the company did not dare to object.
"I want 60%." Lin Yicheng opened his mouth directly.
"This is impossible!" Cao Guowei became anxious.
If Lin Yicheng was given 60% of the shares, what would become of Sina? And what would become of these people?
I became a worker for Lin Yicheng! ——
"Impossible?" Lin Yicheng asked back.
"Haha, in that case, we have nothing to talk about. Mr. Cao, take care. I won't see you off." Lin Yicheng picked up the teacup and was about to see the guest off.
"No, Mr. Lin, my tone was not good just now. Let's talk it out." Cao Guowei's tone softened again.
Although when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
But you can't bow your head like that.
"Talk nicely?" Lin Yicheng sneered.
Afterwards, he showed care to Cao Guowei gently and kindly.
"I'll teach you a lesson!"
"When I was talking to you nicely, what was your attitude? Huh?"
"When you didn't give me face and slapped me in the face, why didn't you say it nicely?"
"A bunch of people who only care about food and not beatings, and won't cry until they see the coffin!"
Lin Yicheng pointed at Cao Guowei's nose.
"Now you're trying to do this to me?"
"who do you think You Are?"
"Why don't you take a bath and look at yourself. What kind of person are you?"
Lin Yicheng's saliva was almost spraying on Cao Guowei's face.
Cao Guowei was criticized so much that his face turned blue and red, as if he had put on hair dye.
He didn't expect that he had just scolded the company's top management before coming here, but after coming here, he was scolded back even more harshly.
Cao Guowei was filled with anger.
He has been living a life of luxury for so many years, has he ever been scolded like a grandson?
At this moment, he wanted to overturn the table.
But he couldn't, and didn't dare to.
He had witnessed Lin Yicheng's methods and power with his own eyes.
"Mr. Lin, let's talk it over nicely. Don't curse at me." Cao Guowei suppressed his anger and uttered these words.
"What's wrong with scolding you? I haven't beaten you yet!" Lin Yicheng slammed the table.
"Mr. Lin, you!" Cao Guowei could no longer suppress his anger.
Suddenly he stood up.
He is also a tall and strong man.
How could I bear such humiliation?
"What? Are you not convinced? Or do you want to go in too?" Lin Yicheng looked at Cao Guowei coldly.
What he said was a naked threat.
"I..." Cao Guowei was dumbfounded.
Although he thought he was clean and had no evidence.
But who can guarantee such a thing?
What if those who have already gone in started talking nonsense and started biting him?
Even if he had a lot of mouths, he still couldn't explain it clearly.
After all, he is the head of Sina.
By then, the consequences...
"Sit down! I'm not used to looking up at people!" Lin Yicheng scolded.
Cao Guowei is like a deflated ball.
With a bang, he collapsed on the sofa.
"I want 60% of Weibo, not a bit less. Do you understand?"
After a long while, Cao Guowei finally spoke with difficulty.
"I can't make the decision on this. I have to go back to the meeting to decide."
"I'll only give you one day. If I don't get a satisfactory answer after one day, haha, you can decide the consequences yourself!"
Lin Yicheng issued an ultimatum to Cao Guowei.
"Okay, I understand." Cao Guowei seemed to have used up all his strength to say this.
"Also, I don't want to see any Taiwanese inside Weibo, not even the toilet cleaner! I don't care what method you use, I only look at the results, do you understand?" "Okay, okay." Cao Guowei nodded again.
Compared with the previous conditions, this request is not excessive.
To be honest, Cao Guowei also has some opinions about those Taiwanese senior officials.
But before, they were so powerful that we couldn’t do anything about them.
Now, several have been taken away.
What's left won't amount to anything.
"The last request is not from me personally, but..." Lin Yicheng pointed his finger towards the ceiling.
When Cao Guowei saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank.
My body involuntarily sat up straight.
"You are a Chinese website, a mainland website."
"This butt, you must sit straight."
"If it continues to bend in the wrong direction, haha..."
Lin Yicheng didn’t say anything else.
Needless to say.
Cao Guowei naturally knew it clearly.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I promise you, and also... that the previous situation will never happen again."
"From now on, we will follow... with a firm heart."
"It's useless to say so much. The key is to look at the action." Lin Yicheng nodded slightly and picked up the teacup again.
Cao Guowei knew it was time for him to leave.
He quickly stood up.
"Mr. Lin, please get busy first. I'll take my leave now."
"Well, no."
-
After Cao Guowei left, Lin Yicheng chuckled.
Although the scolding just now was satisfying, it was all done for Cao Guowei to see.
Only after scolding them like this could Cao Guowei feel truly relieved and know that Lin Yicheng would let bygones be bygones.
The way to control subordinates.
Sometimes, praising is not necessarily a good thing, and scolding is not necessarily a bad thing.
This time, he had his own plans for wanting 60% of Weibo's shares.
First of all, if Lin Yicheng didn’t take the opportunity to get enough benefits, he would be unworthy of Uncle Xu and godfather’s help.
Besides, he has other uses for these shares.
But he knew that in their previous lives, Sohu and Tencent had also developed their own Weibo accounts.
Let’s not talk about Sohu for now.
As for Tencent, Lin Yicheng planned to stop them from messing around.
The last time he met with Pony Ma, he told Pony Ma that he suggested Tencent should take the path of "core business + strategic investment" in the future.
Pony Ma put forward this suggestion within Tencent.
It also received unanimous recognition within Tencent.
Lin Yicheng planned that when Weibo became popular and big, he could sell part of his shares, such as 20%, to Tencent.
With the support of Tencent's traffic and users, Sina Weibo will definitely develop better than in its previous life.
Which is more valuable, 500% of the shares with a market value of 60 billion or 1000% of the shares with a market value of 40 billion?
Of course, Lin Yicheng has settled this account clearly.
Now that Tencent has acquired this share, there is naturally no need to create Tencent Weibo.
Then, Sina Weibo’s only future competitor will be Sohu Weibo.
Coincidentally, Lin Yicheng knew that Sohu was an easy target.
Don’t think that Zhang Chaoyang is still very arrogant now.
After a few years, Lao Zhang will find that after all his efforts, the most valuable thing is the Sohu Building.
After sorting out some thoughts and plans, Lin Yicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The tea is a little cold.
But the taste is ok.
Lin Yicheng called Li Yuefang again.
"Yuefang, where did you buy those Da Hong Pao?"
"Oh, this tea is quite delicious. I'll buy a few more kilograms later."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yicheng laughed again.
Damn Wuyishan Beidou No. 1 Dahongpao.
He was just fooling Cao Guowei just now.
These teas are just the common Dahongpao available on the market, the kind that costs dozens of yuan per pound.
-
The next day, early in the morning, Cao Guowei called Lin Yicheng.
After an internal meeting at Sina, it was decided to agree to Lin Yicheng's request.
After Weibo went online, Lin Yicheng owned 60% of Weibo's original shares.
Sina will only account for 20%-25%.
The remaining part will be used to attract angel round investment from some venture capital firms.
In this way, Lin Yicheng finally took control of Weibo, the public opinion platform and the entertainment industry's killer weapon, in his own hands.
In addition to the 60% stake he holds in public, he can also indirectly hold about 2% through the Sina shares he holds.
Even if part of it is sold to Tencent in the future, Lin Yicheng will still be the largest shareholder of Weibo and have absolute say.
-
The Weibo issue has come to an end for now.
Its real effect on Lin Yicheng can only be realized after it goes online.
There's no rush for now.
The time has come to April 2009.
The new "Four Little Flowers" selection event, which had been much hyped and known almost nationwide, has come to an end.
Finally, the four people who were elected for this honor were Yao Di born in 82, Yang Mi born in 86, Huang Shengyi born in 83 and Liu Shishi born in 87.
That's the ranking order.
The audience was not surprised that Yao Di and Yang Mi were selected.
In terms of fame, popularity and influence, they are sufficient.
But Huang Shengyi and Liu Shishi are more controversial.
Let’s talk about Liu Shishi first.
Many people don’t even know who this is or what his representative works are.
Why was she elected as one of the “Four Little Flowers”?
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion online.
Some of these were indeed spontaneous discussions by the audience.
There are many more, which are other companies taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.
However, this kind of discussion only lasted for a short time before it gradually subsided.
Firstly, General Zhao Feiyu took action.
Secondly, there was someone to take the blame - Huang Shengyi.
Lin Yicheng naturally saw the discussions on the Internet.
Moreover, he knew that the votes received by Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan were actually very close, with not much difference.
Someone very smart inside Tencent who was in charge of the selection might have thought that Huang Shengyi had played the leading female role in Lin Yicheng's debut work, and that she should have a good relationship with Lin Yicheng.
He wanted to sell Lin Yicheng a good one.
So he took it upon himself to let Huang Shengyi be elected.
After Lin Yicheng learned the whole story, he was a little amused.
However, this is also a good thing.
At least, Liu Shishi now has a lot less pressure.
-
By the way, Huang Shengyi's reputation has been hard to describe since she followed the "rich man" Yangzi.
Especially after Zhou Xingchi went to court.
The popularity that he had accumulated through "Kung Fu" and "Hello, Old Time" was almost completely lost.
Most of the audience's opinions are not on her side.
Zhou Xingchi’s reputation has not collapsed yet.
The audience is still in the state of "owing Stephen Chow a movie ticket".
Although this slogan has not been proposed yet, it does not prevent the audience from having a strong filter for Zhou Xingchi.
Even though the reputation of the Hong Kong circle was in a mess, Zhou Xingchi was not greatly affected.
As a result, Huang Shengyi, who had a falling out with her old employer, was seen by the audience as an ungrateful and ungrateful person.
How could such a person be elected as one of the “Four Little Flowers”?
Is there any inside information?
The public's eyes and attention were focused on Huang Shengyi, and then on Yangzi.
I wish I could dig deep into the ground to find out the inside story.
But as we were digging, somehow the topic got off track.
It fell on another person.
A certain "celestial dragon" whose honorable name cannot be addressed directly.
-
[Why didn't my sister get elected? Which of her dramas wasn't a big hit? Which of her roles wasn't a classic? ]
[That’s right, no~~sister, I don’t recognize these so-called “Four Little Flowers”! Those people are not even worthy of carrying~~sister’s shoes! ]
[What the above person said is right, that Yang Mi, she was just a small follower who held an umbrella for my sister before, why was she selected and my sister was not selected? ]
[Why do you treat my sister like this? Do you know how hard she works? Do you know how patriotic she is? Do you know how much she has donated before? She is the only clear stream in this turbid entertainment industry! ]
[I am grateful to fate that my sister and I were born in the same era, so I can appreciate her beauty! How lucky I am that among the 1.4 billion people, there is a beauty like her who has amazed the world! ]
[It’s a shady deal! It’s an absolute shady deal! I propose that the “Four Little Flowers” be re-elected! As a 20-year-old fan of Sister, I will support Sister TX even if I have to sell my kidney! ]
[+1 for agreeing! 】
……
[+10086 for agreeing! 】
……
In the office, Lin Yicheng looked at these mindless compliments and felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, that noble "Dragon Man" had fallen to such a state after leaving his godfather——
Just last month, Hong Kong media reported it.
The dresses that the noble "Dragon Man" wore to the event were all counterfeit.
It's not even a high-end imitation!
The quality and style of the dress are similar to those often worn by young ladies in KTV.
At most, it’s worth a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.
For this reason, the Hong Kong media have been gloating and taking advantage of others' misfortune.
Our Hong Kong circle is no longer viable.
But you, a popular young actress who came here from the mainland, are not as good as us!
At least, our Hong Kong stars would not do such shameful things.
In this case, how could that noble "Dragon Man" still have the money to organize an army of navy to clean up the mess?
Could it be that like in the previous life, he owed the navy soldiers’ wages?
Lin Yicheng certainly does not think that this is a spontaneous statement organized by fans.
Don't forget that Lin Yicheng was the first one to form a navy.
He is very familiar with the tactics of the navy.
However, as he watched, Lin Yicheng suddenly realized.
It seems that beneath these whitewashing remarks, another completely different statement has emerged.
-
[It's so funny, where's your sister? Your sister is wearing a fake dress now! Without my brother, she's so poor that she can barely afford to eat! I was wondering how detached she was from the world, but it turns out she's just like this? - Wei Guang]
[Bullshit~~sister! To put it bluntly, she is just a "Yangzhou skinny horse"! And an ungrateful skinny horse! My brother~~ treats her with all his heart and soul, and got her into Beijing Film Academy, and spent money to support her, but what's the result? ——QQ was stolen]
[I came to pick up the upstairs, but when she saw that the elder brother was in trouble, she didn't even say a warm word, and ran away. Speaking of which, the elder brother was also pitiful, "I was in prison for 6 months, and my dog didn't come home for 6 months, waiting for me all the time. Dogs are the most loyal." Look at what he said, how aggrieved and sad! ——Zhangzhanghonghongshangshang]
[You are right, ~~ Big Brother is really like "I want to look up to the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch"! When she celebrated her birthday, ~~ Big Brother spent millions to hold a birthday party at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Isn't this sincere enough? ——Original Intention]
[In the past, her mother always followed her closely. At first, I couldn't figure it out. Now, I have a bold idea. Do you think it is possible that her mother is afraid that she can't keep herself to herself and be with others... and make big brother angry? ——The one who is close to the water gets the moon first]
[Hiss~ Yuan Fang upstairs, you seem to have discovered the truth! It is indeed terrifying when you think about it carefully! We must dig deeper! ——Falling in love with your bed]
[Ahem, as a semi-insider, I have to reveal a piece of news to you. According to the rules of the Hong Kong circle, if you want to be in a Hong Kong circle drama, you have to sleep with them first. After that person went to the Hong Kong circle, he was probably exposed by the big guys in the Hong Kong circle. - A handsome guy who does not want to reveal his name]
[Well, I just want to ask, is there any relevant video? Even photos are fine! My classmates and roommates all want to criticize it. ——17 who doesn't want to fail]
[The guy above is just daydreaming! But who knows, maybe some big guy will accidentally fix a computer like Teacher Chen did, then we can feast our eyes on him. - Run away with your pants pulled up]
Lin Yicheng was amused by these comments.
In terms of talent, they are the most talented.
Especially the comment from the man whose nickname was "The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first", even Lin Yicheng himself, after thinking about it carefully, felt that it made some sense.
Normally, it takes the crew several months to shoot.
It is not uncommon for couples on the set to have sex as a courtesy.
That noble "celestial dragon" is at the age when he can enjoy the sweetness of life.
What if she really used the excuse of "being too immersed in the role" to get involved with the male actors in the crew...
What does her godfather think?
Who wants to wear a hat of a unique color on their head?
However, it is estimated that the godfather now has more than one environmental protection hat on his head.
At least I can do a hat trick.
After thinking about it, Lin Yicheng took out his cell phone and called Commander Zhao Feiyu.
Without saying anything else, he just asked General Zhao Feiyu to help add fuel to the fire.
Let this fire continue to burn, and burn more vigorously.
Lin Yicheng felt disgusted with that noble "celestial dragon" from the bottom of his heart.
