With all of its businesses developing smoothly, Hu Yuan also planned to relax a bit.
Now that things have come to this, I have fully demonstrated my abilities, and I doubt anyone would dare to harbor any ill intentions towards me.
However, Hu Yuan has been looking for opportunities to get involved in the emerging real estate and gaming industries, but things have not always gone as planned.
In the next fifteen years, the real estate industry will be the most profitable, while the gaming industry will continue to thrive. Hu Yuan even knows exactly when which type of game will be popular.
Therefore, these two things are what Hu Yuan has been thinking about ever since his rebirth.
"Hu Yuan, no, I should call you General Manager Hu now, do you still remember me, your elementary school classmate?"
Hu Yuan had just put down his work when he received a call from an unknown number.
"Who are you?"
"As expected, important people have bad memories. My name is Li Jie, do you remember me?"
Hu Yuan immediately realized that it was this guy.
When they were in elementary school, the two did have a good relationship, and this guy often stood up for him in fights.
"I know you're very rich and powerful now, and I don't ask anything of you. I just have a good project in hand recently and I'd like to see if you're interested."
The way this guy talks is weird, it even feels like he's trying to morally blackmail me.
Left with no other choice, Hu Yuan could only agree to treat him to dinner that evening.
At the beginning, Li Jie talked at length about his elementary school days, with great passion.
Whenever they got excited, they would insist on having a drink with Hu Yuan.
After a few rounds of drinks, both men were starting to get a little drunk, and Li Jie finally got down to business.
It turns out that the project this guy was talking about was investing in an entertainment company.
To be honest, the entertainment industry is about to reach its peak, and this is a trend that Hu Yuan is very clear about.
However, this industry is quite complex, and it would be very time-consuming and exhausting to run it yourself.
That's why Hu Yuan has been putting it off.
But now Li Jie was speaking so logically that even Hu Yuan couldn't help but be tempted.
Li Jie's analysis of the new trends in the entertainment industry is absolutely correct.
"Brother, don't you think we can't miss such a great opportunity?"
Li Jie could also see that Hu Yuan agreed with what he said, and coupled with his own confidence, he began to test Hu Yuan.
"Hmm, no problem. I can invest 50 million in you, and you can give me half of the shares. You can decide everything else on your own."
In any case, for Hu Yuan now, fifty million is just a small amount that doesn't matter much.
Even if this guy really messes things up, it won't affect me in any way.
Moreover, the industries that Hu Yuan plans to enter do indeed require entertainment stars to endorse them and stimulate consumer spending.
If this guy actually succeeds, it will be a small matter that has been resolved for me.
"Haha, brother, you're really straightforward. But this 50 million, plus the 50 million I put in myself, is probably only enough for the initial startup capital. If we need more funding later, we'll still split it 50/50, how about that?"
"no problem."
After signing the contract, Hu Yuan prepared to leave.
Although Li Jie kept exchanging pleasantries and insisted on drinking with Hu Yuan until they were completely drunk, he had already achieved his goal and didn't try to keep him any longer.
Hu Yuan didn't take the matter to heart; he just casually made a note of it.
After all, for me now, going out for this meal was just to avoid being accused of forgetting my roots; I didn't really care about this small project.
However, Li Jie is indeed quite efficient.
In less than half a month, the company successfully went public.
They also spent a large sum of money to poach many well-known agents in the industry.
Subsequently, Li Jie launched another talent show with an investment of 50 million yuan.
In order to stand out and attract the audience's attention, Li Jie put a lot of effort into creating two special contestants.
One is a prodigy from a musical family, beautiful, with a hot figure and noble temperament, proficient in all eighteen musical instruments, and with a singing voice like heavenly music.
Another contestant came from a poor family and only participated because he couldn't afford food. He had never learned any musical instruments, had an ordinary appearance and build, a rustic demeanor, and his singing voice was unremarkable, even somewhat tone-deaf.
From the very beginning, that prodigy was given high expectations, and he was able to defeat any obstacle he encountered.
It is extremely popular.
That grassroots performer, on the other hand, was almost eliminated every time, practically walking on a knife's edge.
Halfway through the program, the situation began to reverse.
The grassroots singer learned several musical instruments through a month of hard work, and his creative ability is also amazing.
Especially because of her childhood experiences, the lyrics she creates are able to touch people's hearts.
He has clearly become a powerful figure.
However, it still has many flaws.
The two individuals were evenly matched in terms of influence on the show, neither willing to concede to the other, and their respective supporters were also trying every means to fight each other.
This is precisely why the show's popularity has soared.
Li Jie naturally made a fortune.
He receives the majority of the show's revenue, and both singers are from his company.
The entire entertainment industry was shaken by the sudden appearance of this powerful figure behind the scenes.
After the show ended, both of them became top-tier female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Li Jie's company has also attracted more attention, with many directors, agents, and minor stars extending offers to him.
Just when the company was at its peak, Li Jie came to Hu Yuan.
Seeing the guy's worried look, Hu Yuan asked him what was wrong, puzzled.
"The company has reached a critical juncture in its development. Too many people are watching us. If we cannot reach the next level, we may soon be suppressed and all our efforts will be in vain."
"I feel that I have achieved something great in my life, but I don't want this company to be just a flash in the pan."
After Li Jie finished speaking, he invited Hu Yuan to go drinking that night, saying he wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
"There is indeed more and more capital being injected into the entertainment industry these days. I understand that you are under a lot of pressure, but since you have taken this step, you should strive to be the strongest and biggest, and become an evergreen. I believe in your abilities."
Hu Yuan understood what this guy meant: he was here to ask for money.
"But...the company is already running out of resources."
“That’s not a problem. I’ll give you another 100 million yuan in investment. You can speed things up and promote more popular celebrities. I need celebrity endorsements right away, and we’ll inject more funds into the company through this kind of cooperation.”
To be honest, Hu Yuan has already seen Li Jie's abilities, so he plans to continue to increase investment and make him a giant in the entertainment industry.
