America's Road to Fame

Chapter 148 You Will Sing in the Future
Chen Weilian turned his head to look, and there was a familiar face with obvious features, it was Da... Mi Mi.

"It's you, Miss Yang Mi." William Chen said in a gentlemanly manner.

"Oh, you still know me. I thought you forgot the last time I saw you."

Hearing William Chen call out her name, Yang Mi also seemed a little surprised. After all, they had only met once at the celebration banquet after Huayi went public, and it was unexpected that William Chen could still remember her.

It wasn't about that time, after all, it's hard not to know a female star with such a high traffic in her previous life.It's just that she is still young now, and the whole person looks fresher, which is still very pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Yang Mi also returned to Yanjing from Hangzhou?"

"Yes, I have an event over there, and I just finished attending and I'm going back. And you, Mr. William, didn't you hear that you have returned to the United States before, and I didn't expect to see you here again."

It seems that Yang Mi is quite familiar with William Chen's itinerary, William Chen smiled and said:
"I'm here for some business matters. I'm going back to Yanjing to deal with some things. I'm about to go back. Don't always call me Mr. William, just call me William. Hasn't Miss Yang Mi been filming recently? "

After all, Da Mi Mi's nickname of Desperate San Niang is not for nothing. Most of the time, several plays start shooting at the same time. It can be said that she is a real master of time management.

"Oh, I want to take a break, but I still can't stay idle. I'm going back to Yanjing to participate in an event, and I'm going to join the crew again soon. I really want to take a break and go out for a trip, but think about it. At that time, I still persuaded myself to make a few more movies..."

The flight from Hangzhou to Yanjing took about two hours, and the two of them had a good chat.

After all, Yang Mi was a celebrity, and she was very well-known at this time, so after getting off the plane, the two exchanged contact information, made an appointment to have time to sit together, and then separated.

William Chen came directly to the Yanjing office of Meta Investment Company with his bodyguards. Li Ying had finally settled the matter of investing in Xiaomi.

It's just that the name of this company has not been confirmed yet, and it cannot be called Xiaomi Company. Lei Jun is still busy looking for the company's personnel.

After William Chen inquired, he learned that the result of Li Ying's talks with Lei Jun was to invest 500 million US dollars to hold 15% of the company's shares.In this way, William Chen realized that Lei Jun still hoped to introduce other investors.As a person with many entrepreneurial experiences, Lei Jun will be very cautious about the release of financing shares in the early stage. Therefore, when Xiaomi finally goes public, unlike Ali and Penguin, Lei Jun still holds more than 30% of the shares in his hands. The company's control is very beneficial.

If 500 million holds 15% of the shares, then the valuation of this company is more than 3300 million US dollars, which is completely within Chen William's tolerance. He once said that only Lei Jun, he Being willing to value his project at $1 million is not something that is given lightly.

"Talk to him again, we want 25 percent and can invest $1000 million."

In this case, the valuation of Lei Jun's company will increase to 4000 million US dollars. If he accepts his financing, then he will not need to introduce other investors in the short term, and at most release part of the investment to the team members. Shares, he himself can still hold close to 70% of the shares, which can leave a lot of room for future financing.

The reason why William Chen wants more shares is that if he holds more than 20% of the shares, he will have greater influence on this company, which will be beneficial to the promotion of the business of Siri and other companies in China in the future, because he knows that the future Xiaomi company will have a pivotal position in China's mobile phone market.

"And we hope to get an anti-dilution clause."

In this case, William Chen's Meta Investment Company can choose to follow up in Xiaomi's subsequent financing, so as to keep the shareholding ratio from being diluted.

Although I don't know why the boss is so optimistic about Lei Jun's project, but since the order has been ordered, Li Ying still has to do his best to complete it.

When William Chen returned to his house in Jiayuan, Haidian, Chen Zihan was still filming. Even Zhang Yuqi recently accepted a film under the arrangement of Huayi Company and went to Hengdian. William Chen was fine for a while. It can be done, just when he was thinking about sending a message to ask what Fan Bingbing was doing, Hola suddenly received a message on his mobile phone, which was sent by Yang Mi.

"Are you busy?"

"I just finished my work, it's all right."

William Chen replied with a word.

Not long after that, Chen Weilian's phone rang directly, and he saw that the caller ID was Yang Mi's number that he had just saved, so he picked it up.

"Where are you now?"

Yang Mi's voice came from the phone, a little lazy.

"At home, here in Zhongguancun."

"Is there anything tonight? Take you to the bar for a party?"

bar?The other party is a star, so aboveboard?
Seemingly guessing William Chen's thoughts, Yang Mi continued:
"Don't worry, it's a bar opened by a friend. Usually only people in the circle go to hang out. If there are no reporters, we usually go there. By the way, Huang Jiaozhu, you know, it's his bar."

Oh, good brother, it seems that Yang Mi and Yang Tianbao have a good relationship and interact frequently, and they should have become acquainted through Huang Jiaozhu.

Anyway, he was fine, so William Chen agreed.

In the evening, Chen Weilian first picked her up near Yang Mi's house. Her home is in Yanjing. Every time she comes back, she lives at home. In order to prevent her parents from seeing her, she also specially asked Chen Weilian to stay at Yang Mi's house. The community is some distance away waiting for her.

"Why is there a car parked behind, it can't be a reporter."

After getting in the car, Yang Mi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, my bodyguard is behind, where is the bar?"

That's it, Yang Mi stuck out her tongue, she knew that William Chen was a rich man, but she never thought that going out usually would be such a ostentation, not only would there be bodyguards as the driver, but also special bodyguards would follow behind.

In fact, it wasn't William Chen showing off, it was indeed for the sake of safety. After all, although the law and order in Huaguo is good, it can't be ignored. After all, places like bars are relatively chaotic. A few years ago, it wasn't a well-known actor. He was also kidnapped and almost died. This incident was later made into a movie.

Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, was also kidnapped twice, and the first time he was injected with an overdose of anesthetics. An ordinary person would have died long ago. Fortunately, he had a special constitution and survived.After this incident, he specially hired a bodyguard, but later encountered robbers again. Fortunately, there was a bodyguard, so he was safe and sound.

Therefore, the so-called son of a thousand gold can't sit down.At any time, be careful.

After arriving at the bar, Chen William did see a lot of celebrities here. Everyone had a good atmosphere, and if they brought friends from outside the circle, they would not take the initiative to bother them.

So he and Yang Mi found a place to sit down and chatted casually. The bar was not noisy and the environment was very comfortable.

Yang Mi wore a peaked cap and a coat at first, but after she came in, she took off her hat and coat, and only wore a thin sweater inside, showing off her figure well.

Not long after, people who knew her came over to say hello one after another. Among them were those who had a good relationship with Yang Mi, the singer Zhang Liangying who debuted in Super Girl, and Deng Chao also came to offer a toast to William Chen, thanking him for giving me a chance .

Uh, in the end Mr. Zhou from "The Hangover", Hua Yi still recommended Deng Chao.Thinking about his funny style later on, it is more suitable for this role.As for the problem of spoken English, it's not a big problem. His accent may have a different kind of funny effect in this movie.

After that, several friends came one after another, including Qi Wei, Zhou Bichang and others. After chatting, they started to play small games together.

This bar is often visited by insiders, so the repertoire is that artists perform on stage, most of them are singing, anyway, they are all insiders, so they can let go.

Just now they saw a familiar star performing on stage, so when they were having fun, someone proposed to play a game, and the loser would have to sing a song on stage, which made Yang Mi a little dissatisfied, she said:

"It's not fair. You are not singers, but you have released singles. Even Brother Chao has sung a lot of songs. Only William and I have not sung. It would be embarrassing for us to lose."

What she said is also true, just like Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang are both singers, Qi Wei's family also debuted as singers, and they only acted in plays later, even Deng Chao has sung a lot of songs.

But others didn't know, Chen Weilian glanced at Yang Mi with complicated emotions.Eldest sister, you will also sing in the future, the popularity of that song is not small...
