Chapter 284 Old Classmates



Tengying Entertainment is selling 10% of its shares for 6 billion yuan.

Just when the vice president of Big Penguin was about to bargain with him and even wanted to lower the price a little.

The president of Ali's entertainment division has already come over to contact us.

Seriously speaking, Big Penguin and Ali have been equally matched in the past two years.

They are kings of each other.

Baidu, which is at the same level as them, has seen its stock price plummet this year due to the Wei Zexi incident.

They are not on the same level at all.

Introducing the Big Penguin is a strategic goal for Tencent Entertainment, and it doesn't seem to be necessary for Ali.

I heard that after Ali contacted Tencent Entertainment, Big Penguin reported it to Lao Ma overnight.

The next day, I rushed to Shanghai to prepare for the signing.

Just 6 billion, which is just a drop in the bucket for a big internet company.

Chen Pingsheng didn't try to please both sides and refused Ah Li openly.

Introduced Big Penguin as a strategic partner of Tengying Entertainment.

As soon as the news came out, the entertainment industry was in an uproar.

This is definitely the largest share transfer in the industry, and it fully demonstrates the unparalleled influence of Tencent Entertainment.

Three years later, Tencent Film has truly grown into a giant in the entertainment industry.

Not only in movies, but also in TV series, the sector is flourishing.

It has also become the most popular entertainment group for big-name artists in the industry.

The unique artist contract cooperation model has received widespread acclaim in the industry.

Now, 10% of the shares are sold at a sky-high price of 6 billion.

The buyer is still the big penguin, which only means that Tencent Entertainment’s market value of more than 50 billion yuan has not reached its peak at all.

If we talk about the completion of this transaction, the people who are happiest are Tong Zelan and her friends.

After all, she had spent 5 billion to buy about 18% of Tengying Entertainment's scattered shares from him.

Now these scattered shares are worth tens of billions.

It doubled in just one month.

How can I not be happy?

Chen Pingsheng had nothing to regret, mainly because he was really short of money at the time.

When there is a shortage of money, assets must be sold at a discount.

You still have to pay taxes when you receive this 6 billion yuan.

If the shares are held by an individual, the payment standard is the difference between the transfer transaction price and the original investment price and fees.

Pay 20%.

He uses Tenghui Capital to hold shares, and has to pay 25% corporate income tax every year.

Instead of paying a quarter of the total amount, you only pay 25% of the profit.

There are many reasonable ways for companies to avoid taxes, and the most reasonable way is naturally to spend all the money.

You can buy a car or a house.

Chen Pingsheng transferred 3 billion yuan of the funds to Tengfei New Energy, specifically to set up a research and development team for motors and electronic control systems.

He now owns an integrated production super factory, Tengfei Ecological Park, and the largest lithium battery R&D factory in the country.

It can be said that the only thing missing in the layout of new energy is intelligent driving.

We are still recruiting a team in this area. If we start developing the intelligent driving system from scratch, it will be too late.

Foreign artificial intelligence can easily beat the world champion in playing Go.

If he wants to catch up in the field of intelligent driving, the best way is to directly purchase some AI technology in related fields from abroad.

If you want to buy patented technology, you have to pay a high price.

Chen Pingsheng asked Lao Yan and others to contact overseas to see if there were any AI teams for sale.

Or technology.

If we talk about the best technology in this area in China, it must be Baidu.

Unfortunately, Baidu's core technology cannot be sold at all, and he can't afford it.

Intelligent driving, which is the driverless driving of the future, is definitely the key core technology for new energy vehicles in the next five or ten years.

Chen Pingsheng also plans to spend billions on research every year.

Technology is really a bottomless pit. No wonder domestic big manufacturers like to do assembly. It has only been a short time.

They have actually invested more than 10 billion yuan in technology research and development or team recruitment.

At least 40 billion yuan will be invested in the next few years.

It’s not that you can master core technology by spending money, but it’s absolutely impossible without spending money.

Chen Pingsheng allocated another 2.5 billion to increase efforts in battery research and development.

This thing will either not break through, or once it does, its future value will be absolutely astonishing.

This is a typical example of heavy investment.

The technical field has a dedicated president in charge, so he doesn't need to be involved.

What he has to do is to keep raising money and investing it before the research and development results come out.

Thinking about success, it will be painful and happy.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t know how to spend the remaining small goals.

He simply gave each of the executives in the group a Range Rover Autobiography extended edition.

He also bought a burgundy one for himself.

The money from buying cars can be used to deduct taxes, and I bought almost 35 cars at one time.

The discount is one hundred million.

Chen Pingsheng gave the name of the group. The main business of this year is very good. I hope they will keep up the good work.

Time flies.

It was almost the end of July, and Yang Qian's best friend, who was also his classmate, officially held a reunion of her 1997 junior high school classmates in Shanghai.

Seriously speaking, most alumni reunions start in high school or college.

It's really rare to see a junior high school reunion like they do.

The main reason is that Chen Pingsheng only graduated from junior high school.

Chang Fu was similar. Among the four of them, only Zhang Tao studied in a technical secondary school for one year.

Gao Hu started learning to be a chef right after he graduated from junior high school. How can he attend the high school reunion?

Chen Pingsheng drove his own Land Rover Range Rover to participate. His car was a burgundy extended version, which looked very domineering from the outside.

It also looks very high-end from the inside.

Although Land Rover doesn't have a very good reputation, it costs more than three million yuan and so many rich people choose it, so how bad can it be?

He still brought his big-breasted daughter Chen Anan with him, as his wife couldn't come because she had something to do.

Chang Fu called him halfway and said there was a surprise, but he didn't know what it was.

Most people in their thirties have already started a family.

As they are all financially independent, no fool would deliberately compare themselves with others when holding a class reunion under such circumstances.

If you say that it is simply to strengthen the relationship between classmates, that is not the case.

For example, my best friend Yang Qian runs a small company in Hangzhou.

Because I wasn’t very familiar with them when I was studying.

Even though she heard her old classmate's name every day in Hangzhou, she had no excuse or reason to come and find Chen Pingsheng.

It is simply impossible based on the friendship between junior high school classmates.

After all, at that time, Chen Pingsheng and his classmates' grades were at the bottom of the class.

She has always been among the top three in the school.

After Chen Anan came over, the best news she heard was that her father's grades were the same as hers.

It turns out that it wasn't because she did poorly on the test, it was just because of her genes.

This is how the countdown continues.

Okay, the knot in my heart that had been bothering me for a long time has finally been untied. From now on, I can concentrate on getting into the top three in the exam.

Whoever says that Sister An An has poor grades again.

She will say that it is my genetic genes. What's the matter? Do you want to rely on your father?

One sentence can put people back.

Wow, hahaha, I'm so happy.

Yao Annie took advantage of Yang Qian's opportunity to invite Chen Pingsheng and others over, and she really put in a lot of effort.

It is not easy to get so many old classmates together after twenty years.

"Old Chen, you're a frequent visitor to our company now. It's an honor for us old classmates to have you here this time."

Yao Anni came over to toast, and Chen Pingsheng politely drank a glass. He thought that Yang Kang would come too.

In the end, I still didn't see anyone.

This guy has been following them around since junior high school. Now, after so many years, I'm afraid he's not doing very well.

Chen Pingsheng asked curiously, "Isn't Yang Kang in Hangzhou like you? Why didn't you invite him over?"

Yao Anni was surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Pingsheng still remembered that guy. Yang Kang's luck was about to change.

"His family went bankrupt due to an accident ten years ago. He now mainly relies on his wife's income as a host and rarely contacts us old classmates." Yao Annie explained.

It turns out to be inferiority complex.

Chen Pingsheng understood that when things were not going well, no one wanted to contact them.

Only after you have become successful will you think about looking for your old good brothers.

Maybe this is what being a man is like.

Turning the cup in his hand, Chen Pingsheng said, "That guy used to be pretty good. He was the one who bought us cigarettes when we ran out of them."

Yao Anni smiled calmly on the surface, but she was extremely envious in her heart.

If an ordinary person said this, it would be nothing.

But it was Chen Pingsheng who said this, which was very unusual.

Yao Anni secretly thought that when she returned to Hangzhou this time, she would definitely go find Yang Kang.

No matter what, I have to build a good relationship with him.

If even a hair on a rich man moves, she will try to figure out where that hair is blowing.

Originally, Yao Anni wanted to pay for this class reunion, but it was not her turn to spend money when Chen Pingsheng was here.

After having dinner at the Peace Hotel, Chen Pingsheng took them to a top private club in Shanghai.

There is everything, you can play whatever you want.

Yao Anni never spoke about her own affairs because she felt that the time was not right.

If you speak at this time, it will only be a small quarrel.

She still has some money, and over the years she has managed to build a small business on her own among men.

If it weren't for Yang Qian this time, she would never have been able to date someone of Chen Pingsheng's level.

The more he was in the business world, the more he realized the immense influence his old classmate now had.

Let’s just say you were a pretty good multi-millionaire.

Suddenly one day, this old classmate of yours looked at you twice more and drank two cups of tea with you.

You might be a billionaire in no time.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Social status, circle, wealth, everything must be different.

Yang Qian had such a bad life in the past that she was suppressed by her husband's family and couldn't even hold her head up.

After the divorce, I was left with nothing.

If you want to know how capable she is, doesn’t Yao Anni know this after knowing her for so many years?

Definitely not much better than her.

What's the situation now?

President of Lujiao Coffee.

The female president of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions.

Chen Pingsheng would never come if someone of this status sat there.

She is definitely the most conspicuous person in the crowd.

Yao Annie knows her husband Chang Fu better, although he also drove a Mercedes-Benz before.

There is not much money in my pocket at all, it's just a pretense.

It hasn't been long since he was called to the capital by Chen Pingsheng, and his annual net income is already several hundred million.

He drives a Rolls-Royce and brings bodyguards with him when he goes out.

Let’s talk about Gao Hu, who runs a hot pot restaurant in Shacheng. Although his business is good, compared with the current president of Feiyangyang, there is a world of difference.

This is the circle and connection.

Anyone who caught Chen Pingsheng's eye was basically lifted up by him.

Yao Anni is not sure if she is the next one, but she has to work hard.

She remembered that Yang Kang lived in a small house that was bought by his parents before the accident.

After so many years, this is the only house that has not been sold.

Yao Anni searched for a long time in her mobile phone address book. After confirming that there was no contact information for him, she found the specific location of Yang Kang through several classmates.

He drove to your door at night without any delay.

Yang Kang’s wife was doing a live broadcast at home and was quite impatient.

After hearing someone knocking on the door, he comforted the big brother in the live broadcast room for a few words before going to open the door.

Yao Annie is also very good at dealing with people. After all, she is a business person, and she is much better than ordinary people in interpersonal communication.

She went downstairs and bought two big durians and brought them up, and also bought a lot of imported fruits.

All in all, it cost fifteen hundred yuan.

"Who are you?"

"You are my sister-in-law, right? I am Yang Kang, our classmate. We have met before."

I have some impression of Yang Kang's wife Zhang Cuicui, but I'm not very familiar with her.

But seeing her carrying so many gifts into the house, she still had a big smile on her face.

After entering, Yao Anni took a quick look around the house, which had two bedrooms and a living room in the main urban area of ​​Hangzhou.

It’s generally a good thing that you bought the house early and renovated it, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford to live in a house in such a location.

Zhang Cuicui married Yang Kang because his family was well-off, but who knew that they would go bankrupt within two years.

As every couple knows, it's fine when you have money, but when you have no money and have a snobbish wife, your life will be a mess.

This is Yang Kang’s current situation.

He was still driving Didi outside and had not come back yet. Zhang Cuicui asked Yao Anni what she was doing there, and Yao Anni just said that she had something to talk to Yang Kang about.

When Yang Kang came back, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Cuicui said unhappily, "Why are you back so early again? Your classmates are looking for you."

Yao Anni stood up.

Men are like this. No matter how hard you work outside, if you make too little money, your snobbish wife will not show any sympathy at all.

Just a look of disgust.

"Boss Yao, why are you here?"

Yang Kang was a little surprised. Although he no longer took the initiative to contact his classmates, he still knew those who were doing well.

"I went to the Magic City to attend a class reunion today. You should know this, right?"

"I know. I heard a little bit."

"Then you still remember Chen Pingsheng."

"Him?" Yang Kang felt a little disappointed. "So what if he remembers? So what if he doesn't remember?"

"It seems you've heard about his situation from your classmates. I'm confused, why didn't you go find him?"

Yao Annie asked directly.

Yang Kang smiled bitterly, "How can I find him? Can I rely on the relationship with my old classmate from twenty years ago?"

"He asked about you today. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean he still remembers me following him around?"

Zhang Cuicui listened to their conversation for a while and asked impatiently, "You always talk about this Chen Pingsheng. Who is he?"

"Just a former brother."

Yang Kang asked her back, "You still want to meet those big brothers in your live broadcast room so late?"

"If I don't go to meet them, will they be so generous as to reward me?"

Zhang Cuihui said with disdain, "Don't look at me like that. Your daughter's tuition costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. With your income, both mother and I will starve to death."

"So you can stay out all night?"

"You forced me to do that."

Zhang Cuicui said disdainfully, "Don't say your classmate doesn't give you face in front of me. A man who can't even earn 100,000 yuan a year is no different from trash."

Perhaps Yang Kang was used to it, so he clenched his hands for a while and then loosened them.

Zhang Cuicui dressed herself up and went out.

She doesn't worry about what will happen to her man at home at all. He is just a Didi driver, who could be interested in him?

It was because I was blind at the time. If he hadn't still had a house, I would have divorced him long ago.

If you want big brother to give you gifts in the live broadcast room, do you really think that just calling him brother will do it?

The door must be open in private.

Otherwise, who would keep rewarding you?

Except fools, of course.

Yang Kang knew very well that his wife's income was much higher than his.

There must be more than 200,000 yuan a year, but where does this money come from?

You can only turn a blind eye.

The kind that makes me cry when I think about it at night.

I am too embarrassed to mention it in front of my daughter and can only say good things about her mother.

Yao Anni was a person who understood immediately. She asked in surprise, "You don't care about her behavior?"

"What can I do? If it really comes to a divorce, the only one who will be hurt is my daughter."

Yao Anni was speechless. It was rare for a man to be so miserable.

"Chen Pingsheng asked about you twice at the class reunion today, and he even asked me to keep an eye on you. Given his current social status, I don't believe you haven't heard of his name."

"How could I not have heard of it?"

Yang Kang said helplessly, "Downstairs is the fresh food store he opened. There's also milk tea, coffee, and snacks. I still can't believe it. My brother did this."

"Then why don't you go find him? I want to hear the truth!"

Yao Annie stared into his eyes and asked.

"You think I didn't think about it, I just walked downstairs and came down again."

Yang Kang said, "When he first went to Shanghai, their ads were everywhere. My daughter even insisted on attending a concert hosted by their group. I spent three days wandering downstairs from his building. When I finally mustered the courage to go up, I ran into another classmate. He had just come down from the top floor, wielding 100,000 yuan in cash."

"You know, this classmate's mother was seriously ill, so he went to see Old Chen. Not only did he not see him at all, he only saw his secretary. The secretary was like a fairy. When she heard that he was the boss's junior high school classmate, she took out 100,000 yuan from the drawer without saying a word and told him that the boss was not there."

Yang Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I thought about it for a long time. I thought I could probably get a hundred thousand if I went up. I hesitated for three days about whether to take advantage of this opportunity. I don't know when it started, but I became like this."

Yao Anni understands him very well. He wants to still be the rich second generation and a man with a well-off family.

It must have gone straight up.

Nowadays, people are poor and have low aspirations. Before going up, they no longer think about the brotherhood they used to have.

But it is very simple to get 100,000 yuan.

This temptation is simply impossible for most people to resist.

Yang Kang blocked most of his classmates, perhaps just to maintain this last bit of dignity.

We were once brothers, and now we can get 100,000 if we go up.

Whether you go or not, that is really the question.

Seeing your brother doing so well, perhaps only you can understand the feeling if you have experienced it yourself.

Moreover, my wife is like this.

Yao Anni didn't know whether she should sympathize or not.
