Chapter 276 Retaining the title of the richest man
"Good morning, Chairman!" "Good morning, Chairman Song."
Early in the morning, in front of the elevator at the Tengda Group headquarters, a group of employees saw their big boss and bowed to greet him.
Song Ci was dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking very handsome, as if he had his own light, and he smiled and nodded in response.
In the crowd, Weibo CEO Liu Yan suddenly stepped forward, his voice filled with excitement: "Mr. Song, congratulations, you have retained your title as the richest man in mainland China."
Song Ci heard this, and his originally calm face was slightly stunned: "What's going on?"
Liu Yan smiled and explained, "Mr. Song, just now, the Hurun Research Institute released the 2009 Hurun Rich List. With a net worth of 110 billion, you are far ahead of other wealthy people and have been named the richest man in mainland China. The news has become a hot search on Weibo."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Tengda employees were instantly excited, with exclamations and praises ringing in the ears.
Some people just took out their phones and checked the trending searches on Weibo as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Several brave and clever employees immediately offered their congratulations.
“Congratulations, Chairman! Under your leadership, the Group will surely prosper and achieve greater success.”
"Mr. Song, you are so amazing. From now on, your title will be the Noble Young Master with a Hundred Billionaire's Fortune."
Song Ci waved his hand, looking modest: "It's just empty reputation, I don't care about these things." But he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.
The heavy elevator door slowly opened, and Song Ci stepped into the elevator. As the heavy alloy door slowly closed, everyone immediately started talking.
A young and beautiful female employee held her face with both hands, with little stars in her eyes, looking like a crazy fan:
"I feel like Mr. Song is handsome again. He just smiled at me. Hey, Mr. Song is handsome and rich. I don't know which little goblin got the chance."
A girl next to her immediately joked: "If you like it, just take action. Maybe you can become the chairman's wife!"
When Liu Yan heard this, he glanced at the two daydreaming girls and attacked them mercilessly:
"You really dare to think that you want to be the boss's wife. This is impossible. Mr. Song loves his fiancée very much and is quite infatuated with her."
"Mr. Liu, have you seen the chairman's fiancée? What does she look like?" The two girls who had just talked became curious and couldn't help asking.
A gentle and beautiful face flashed through Liu Yan's mind for a moment, and he nodded slightly: "I have seen her, she is much better than you."
One of the girls whispered, "It's only natural that he's better than us. With Mr. Song's face, he should at least find someone with a matching appearance."
"That's too much. With a net worth of 110 billion, he is a billionaire, and he is already a level higher than other billionaires."
A male employee was holding a cell phone and interrupted the conversation of the girls with his exclamations.
An employee nearby who was also browsing the Hurun Rich List on Weibo was shocked and couldn't help but echoed loudly:
"It's really a bit exaggerated. The second place Wang Chuanfu is only worth 35 billion, which is less than half of Mr. Song's net worth. The gap is too big."
"Among the top ten richest people, six are from the real estate industry. It seems that real estate is very popular this year. According to this trend, house prices are expected to rise further."
"No way, the housing prices are going to go up!" A young man couldn't help but exclaim. He is a migrant worker in Beijing and is trying hard to save money to buy a house, but his saving speed obviously cannot keep up with the rising housing prices, and his dream of buying a house is becoming more and more distant.
"Didn't Chairman Song suggest that all employees buy houses as soon as possible? Now it seems that the chairman is still far-sighted. Brother, the company has a loan policy, don't hesitate, and act quickly."
"Nonsense, if President Song didn't have foresight, he could have led us to catch up and make Tencent the largest Internet group in the country!"
"Haha, luckily I listened to the advice and bought a house with a loan in 2005. The price of my neighborhood was 6,000 yuan per square meter at that time, but now it has risen to 13,000 yuan per square meter. I am so lucky."
An old employee shared his house-buying experience with great enthusiasm. Now that housing prices have soared, he feels confident.
"I regret it now. The money I had then is only enough to buy a toilet. The housing prices in Beijing are rising every year. When will it stop?"
While everyone was talking and lamenting that housing prices in Peking were becoming increasingly unaffordable, Song Ci had already arrived at the office on the top floor of the building.
After reading the Hurun Rich List in detail, he picked up the phone on his desk and notified Zhang Yong and Tang Jun, the newly appointed president of the WeChat department, to come to his office.
After a while, Zhang Yong arrived in a hurry, his face full of joy. As soon as he entered the office, he spoke first: "Mr. Song, a super-rich man with a hundred billion, are you willing to treat us tonight?"
Seeing his right-hand man glowing, Song Ci knew why he was like that: "It's not my turn to treat today. It should be you, Old Zhang, and Sister Jing who should treat me."
Zhang Yong sat down at his desk, looking quite excited: "Then I'll treat you today, and Mr. Wang will treat you tomorrow."
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
After getting the response, Tang Jun pushed the door open, glanced at the two leaders, and said respectfully: "Congratulations, Mr. Song and Mr. Zhang."
Before receiving the notification from Song Ci, he was also paying attention to the Hurun Rich List. Needless to say, the chairman has been on the list many times and has been the richest man for many years. He has long been a legend in the eyes of everyone.
But the most encouraging thing is that the group’s CEO Zhang Yong and COO Wang Jing are also on the list. How can this not make the executives of Tengda Group excited?
Song Ci looked dignified, pointed to the seat in front of the desk, and said seriously: "Sit down. Mr. Tang, don't be envious. If you win the WeChat battle, you will have everything."
When Tang Jun heard the boss's resounding promise, he was overjoyed, but immediately a huge pressure emerged in his heart, as the next battle would not be easy.
"The penguin has made a move, you know?"
Tang Jun had a serious expression and stood up straight, and responded carefully: "I have tried the WeChat chat that Penguin Company just launched, and it is very different from QQ.
It can be said that it is an instant messaging app developed entirely for smartphones. It has its own characteristics and is a strong rival to our WeChat! "
Song Ci, who also downloaded WeChat, couldn't help but sigh: "Penguin has become the leader in the domestic instant messaging field, which is quite innovative.
If the other party copies WeChat, I am sure that Penguin will lose the competition. However, if the other party innovates, things will change. We must be cautious in every step in the future."
Leaning back in the boss chair, Song Ci frowned. The two major Internet giants in China were facing off. If they were not careful in one move, they would lose everything.
Tang Jun also knew that his opponent was difficult to deal with, but he was still very confident: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, I will always pay attention to market trends. At present, our WeChat has a first-mover advantage, and there is still a big gap between Weichat and us in the short term."
Song Ci repeatedly warned and warned: "I transferred you from TT Video Network to the WeChat department as the president because I saw that you are meticulous in your work. WeChat is very important to Tengda Group, and you must not slack off in the slightest."
Tang Jun repeatedly assured: "I know the seriousness of the situation and have been paying close attention to the WeChat chat."
Zhang Yong thought about it and suggested: "Mr. Song, now that WeChat can no longer be hidden, why not start omni-channel promotion and seize the market in one fell swoop?"
Song Ci had a clear mind and shook his head: "It's not the right time yet. Penguin has just started to make efforts. How can we show our trump cards now?
When Penguin realizes data interoperability between QQ and WeChat, it will be the time for us to put all our omni-channel strength into a decisive battle.
At present, Weichat is not a rival to WeChat. We should play it safe and win. We will stick to the original plan and use mini-games to attract users first. "
Tang Jun reported at the right time: "I have discussed with Mr. Jiang from the mobile game department. We will launch several mobile games such as "Temple Run" tomorrow to quietly attract traffic to WeChat."
Zhang Yong also repeatedly reminded him: "Mr. Tang, the chairman has worked very hard for WeChat, and he has done everything he should say and do.
The group has already made every effort to perfect the plan, and now it all depends on your department's execution. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
With tremendous pressure coming, Tang Jun quickly stood up from his chair, bowed slightly and said, "President Song, President Zhang, please rest assured. From today on, I will be stationed in the company and will definitely win this battle."
Song Ci waved his hand: "There's no need to be like that, just pay more attention to everything."
He understood Tang Jun's determination, but he also didn't want his subordinates to put too much pressure on him. Everything is excessive or insufficient. The war with WeChat chat is bound to be a protracted war. It is equally important to maintain a good attitude and sufficient energy.
Since the launch of WeChat Chat, Tenda and Penguin have started to confront each other. Without using their ultimate trump cards, both companies are doing their best to attract users to their apps.
Time flies, and it is already the end of October.
In this slightly cool late autumn season, a major event has touched the hearts of the entire entertainment industry: Huayi Company is listed!
In the president's office at Tangren headquarters, Cai Yinong stared at the reports about Huayi's listing on the computer screen with focused and nervous eyes, for fear of missing any news.
Across the desk, a sister was yawning and looked listless.
She played games until three in the morning last night and was seriously sleep deprived. The new mobile games released by Tenda were really addictive and she forgot about time while playing.
"Sister K, is there any latest news?" Hu Ge hurried into the office, sat down next to Sister Yi and asked anxiously.
Cai Yinong dragged the mouse, staring intently at the constantly refreshing information on the screen, and introduced:
"Huayi is listed on the Growth Enterprise Market, with an issue price of 28.58 yuan per share. A total of 42 million shares will be issued, raising approximately 1.2 billion yuan. The market will open soon."
"The market has opened, and Huayi's stock price is rising so fast." Cai Yinong's voice suddenly rose, and the expression on his face froze instantly. He was stunned when he saw Huayi's stock price soaring like a rocket.
Huayi's stock price soared as soon as it opened, and it continued to rise. The constant jump in numbers stimulated the nerves of every investor and person in the entertainment industry.
"How is it possible? What an incredible increase. It's already 63 yuan per share. The film and television industry is so popular among investors when it goes public!"
Listening to Cai Yinong's mumbling, Hu Ge did a quick calculation and was also shocked. The price of Huayi stock rose from 28 yuan to 63 yuan. In just a short moment, the stock price of Huayi doubled!
"So, Huayi's listing was a great success?" Liu Shishi looked calm. Her husband is now a billionaire, and the listing of a film and television company is just a small event.
Cai Yinong was extremely confused at the moment, and the plan to list Tangren that he had discussed with Hu Ge and Li Guoli some time ago came to his mind.
"This is a success beyond imagination. I think the entire entertainment industry will be excited. The first private film and television company has successfully gone public. The second and third ones will surely follow."
Hu Ge looked excited. With such a successful case of Huayi Company, Sister K might not be able to sit still and would definitely start the process of listing Tangren.
There have long been rumors in the circle that Feng Xiaogang, Huang Xiaoming and others have subscribed to Huayi's shares internally. At this time, Huayi's stock price skyrocketed and their net worth increased several times.
Seeing Yi Ge's excitement, Liu Shishi remembered what Lao Hu had discussed with her last time, so she asked the two of them, "Is Tangren also preparing to go public?"
When Hu Ge heard this, he shouted in his heart: "Master, you are awesome!" This was what he was thinking.
After all, Yijie is the second largest shareholder of Tangren Film and Television. She has more weight in the company than herself, and she has the support of the richest man. Some of her words are more appropriate for her to say than herself.
Cai Yinong stared at Liu Shishi's calm face, then looked at his excited brother and sighed in his heart.
She couldn't guess what Liu Shishi was thinking, but Hu Ge's thoughts were all written on his face. She was afraid that the entire core layer of the Tang people had the same thoughts as Hu Ge.
If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Cai Yinong hesitated for only a moment, then he quickly made up his mind and nodded solemnly to the two pillars of the Tang people:
"From today on, Tangren Films' first goal is to go public. With Huayi's successful listing, the entertainment industry will be deeply integrated with the capital market, and things will get more complicated from now on."
"Sister K, only with capital injection can the industry scale be expanded. From now on, everyone will rely on their own abilities."
Hu Ge was quite optimistic. He felt that with himself and Liu Shishi in the company, and with Tangren’s leading position in ancient costumes, it would not be difficult to go public.
"I hope so." Cai Yinong sighed again, his eyes resting on the first sister again: "Shishi, I was busy paying attention to Huayi's listing, and I didn't have time to ask you, why did you come to the company today?"
In the past, when there was no filming, Yijie usually accompanied her man and enjoyed a leisurely time. Recently, Liu Shishi also had no filming, but she unexpectedly came to the company in a very unusual way.
Hu Ge returned to the company because he was concerned about Huayi's listing. As the wife of the richest man, Yijie obviously would not care about this matter.
Liu Shishi blinked and said playfully, "The TV series I invested in is about to be aired, so I came over to help promote it."
Cai Yinong tried hard to recall: "It's that urban comedy movie, what was it called?"
"Love Apartment!"
"Yes, I remember now. Your studio has invested 5 million. Do you need the company to help promote it?"
Liu Shishi nodded her head repeatedly: "Yes, otherwise why would I come to the company? Lao Hu, you also have to help me promote it, post more on Weibo, and mobilize fans."
Hu Ge smiled and agreed to whatever he asked. He raised his hand and made an OK sign, and agreed happily: "No problem, I will post on Weibo every day from today on."
Liu Shishi gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Hu, you are really nice."
Although Cai Yinong didn't think that the TV series "Love Apartment" would have high ratings, since Sister Yi personally went back to the company for this matter, she still wanted to give her full support, so she agreed: "I'll arrange for the PR team to issue a press release in a while."
