My 1999

"One more thing, I plan to sell New Dream to Hanhua." Xu Liang said.

Jiang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said seriously.

"are you serious?"

"Um."

"Why? This is the beginning of your business."

“The first company I founded was Hanhua.”

After a pause, Xu Liang continued: "The order of establishment is not important. The key is that I already have many companies, and new dreams are no longer that important."

If subject education and training is not forcibly abolished by the state, the future of New Dream is still very bright.

But without subject education, if it is just art training, even if it is done well, it will still have a market value of tens of billions of Chinese dollars.

But it is far behind industries with huge potential such as the Internet, real estate, investment, and beverages.

"Do you really want to sell?"

"Um."

Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.

By selling to Hanhua, I can continue to share in the future earnings of New Dream, and I can still influence the future development of this company.

"But now Phoenix Fund can't come up with the money to acquire New Dream."

Phoenix One Fund alone raised $300 million.

A third of the debt was spent on the acquisition of the Warriors, Nanfu Battery and Suguo Supermarket, leaving US$200 million, which was not enough to acquire New Dream.

Phoenix Fund II has only raised US$180 million so far.

In comparison, the valuation of New Dream has exceeded 4 billion Huaxia coins.

"It doesn't matter if I can't get the money. I will let Hongmeng Company guarantee Hanhua, use the new dream as collateral, and get a loan from Standard Chartered Bank."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded.

This is indeed a good idea.

However, Hanhua will have to repay the interest on the loan.

But the new dream is developing rapidly, and she is not worried about losing money on the investment.

"Have you communicated with Teng Huaming?"

"Not yet, but I'm not worried about him not agreeing. After all, he will be the master of his own affairs from now on, and anyone else would be happy to do it."

Rolling her eyes at him, Jiang Xiaoyang urged: "You'd better communicate with Teng Huaming before officially starting the process, so as not to cause any rift between you."

"I know. I just had this idea, and I just want to tell you about it. It won't be officially launched until next year."

The money from selling New Dream was the ballast stone for his oil futures business and was used to increase positions at critical moments.

The two briefly chatted about the future development and management measures of New Dream, and quickly finished their dinner.

Just came out of the restaurant.

A somewhat elegant-looking middle-aged man wearing a red bow tie, a crisp black suit, and gold-rimmed glasses blocked their way.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Jiang, hello. My name is Yang Shoucheng, and I am the president of Emperor Group. It is a great honor to meet you two."

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Xu Liang smiled lightly and shook it briefly.

This entertainment tycoon in the post-Hong Kong era, a playboy in the entertainment industry, has been famous for a long time.

After the new century, at least half of the celebrities in Xiangjiang who can basically be named are under his command.

"Mr. Yang stopped us, is there something wrong?" Xu Liang asked.

Yang Shoucheng nodded, "I wonder if we can sit down and chat?"

He reached out and didn't hit the smiling person. The other person was polite and considerate, so it was hard for him to refuse directly.

He sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that Hongmeng Entertainment is preparing a large-scale variety show. Hong Kong is also a big market, and there are many well-known music stars in the mainland, so we hope to cooperate with Hongmeng Entertainment in this regard." Yang Shoucheng said.

"Mr. Yang is well-informed."

Xu Liangdao.

Although the planning of Hongmeng Entertainment's "Super Girl" has already begun, and although news has been revealed, it has not yet been officially promoted to the outside world.

Not many people in the entertainment industry know about it.

Yang Shoucheng said with a smile: "Emperor Entertainment's main business is entertainment, so naturally it pays more attention to news in this area. Moreover, the mainland market has unlimited potential, which is where we focus our attention."

In fact, an ordinary entertainment program is not worthy of his attention at all.

The key is to be able to make friends with the young mainland tycoon in front of me through this program.

"I will explain below that if necessary, they will contact the Emperor."

The current stage is not ten years from now. Xiangjiang's stars are still very popular in the mainland.

If the show can invite one or two finales, the level will rise instantly.

This is the limitation of the times, and Xu Liang can only do what is good.

"Thank you Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Yang, you don't have to be polite. We are cooperating for mutual benefit."

"Yes, cooperation is mutually beneficial." Yang Shoucheng nodded quickly.

Although the other party is much younger than me, the difference in net worth is huge.

In a money-dominated society like Hong Kong, the rich naturally have a higher status.

Xu Liang stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, we have something to do, so we'll leave first. I agreed to the cooperation."

"Okay, okay. Mr. Xu, Miss Jiang, walk slowly."

Xu Liang smiled slightly and left with Jiang Xiaoyang.

Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Yang Shoucheng was happy but also a little regretful.

I am happy that the cooperation was achieved so easily. Unfortunately, the time was short and there was no time to further deepen the relationship between the two parties.

But it’s good if we can cooperate. With this relationship, we will be able to communicate with each other again in the future.

——

On the way back to the car.

"Do you know that Yang Shoucheng?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"I don't know him, but I understand him. This guy started out as a watch agent. He currently runs two hotels in Xiangjiang and some real estate business, but the most important thing is in the entertainment industry.

Now half of the celebrities that Xiangjiang can name are in his hands. "Xu Liang said.

"So, this guy is quite a character."

Although the entertainment industry is notoriously chaotic, it’s not just ordinary people who can make it big.

After Xu Liang nodded, "It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time. The current Xiangjiang entertainment industry has gone downhill. If it had been twenty years earlier, it would be impossible to say that this person would be another Zou Wenhuai or Lei Juekun type figure."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded slightly and said, "I just heard him say that Hongmeng is doing entertainment programs?"

"Yes. Our main business is pan-entertainment, including novels, comics, music, entertainment, and games.

Hongmeng has everything else, and entertainment is the last piece of the puzzle. "

Jiang Xiaoyang became interested, "What entertainment programs do you do? TV, movies, or variety shows?"

"Variety show, "Super Girl", a civilian audition singing program. I guarantee you will also like it when the time comes." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"So confident?"

"Haha, when have you ever seen me fail?"

"Then I'll wait and see."

——

The time gradually came to October 1st.

Xu Liang received Bonima who came from Pengcheng at No. 33 Barker Road.

"Bonnie, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xu Liang smiled.

The young and youthful Bonima looks very reserved.

"Mr. Xu has many things to do every day, and his time is precious, so we don't dare to interrupt him rashly."

Xu Liang smiled, released his right hand, and after saying hello to Zeng Liqing who came with him, they sat down on the sofa.

After Lu Hui served tea.

"I heard that Penguin made a lot of money through Monternet this year."

There was a trace of pride on Ponima's face, which didn't have much city life yet.

But after reacting, he quickly endured it.

said modestly.

"Although Penguin has made some money, it is not as good as Sina, which is owned by Mr. Xu."

Xu Liang smiled and did not try to expose him.

Penguin is the first SP service provider to invest in Monternet, and QQ is naturally suitable for SMS business. After more than a year of development, the monthly revenue from Monternet now exceeds 50 million Huaxia coins, which is almost Sina’s. More than twice that.

In 2002, the number of text messages sent through Mobile QQ accounted for approximately 70% of the total number of text messages sent by Monternet, making it the undisputed leader.

Even so, Penguin and Sina are not in a competitive relationship now.

The domestic SMS market has been experiencing explosive growth.

In 2001, the number of mobile text messages sent surged sixteenfold, reaching 15.9 billion.

In 2002, it increased to 79.3 billion, accounting for one-third of global text messages.

Everyone has meat to eat.

"In addition to mobile QQ, I heard that your QQ show is also developing well?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

Because Xu Liang put out the bubble show in advance, the QQ show Penguin, which was originally created in 2003, was copied and pasted in 2002.

With QQ’s huge user base, it is currently developing well.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Bonima's face.

It feels like being caught cheating.

Seeing Xu Liang's smiling face, Bonima said with some guilt: "A small achievement is not worth mentioning compared to Hongmeng Games."

"Really? But Hongmeng's legal department is already preparing to sue you."

Ponima was shocked.

Even Zeng Liqing, who had never spoken, couldn't help but look shocked.

Looking at the two people, Xu Liang shook his head.

She was still too young and became panicked when she was frightened by him.

Bonima took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Xu, the QQ Show did not plagiarize the Bubble Show. We just borrowed some of your gameplay. Strictly speaking, this does not constitute an infringement of your copyright."

"Whether it is plagiarism or not, there will naturally be laws to define it. But I have seen the evidence provided by the Ministry of Justice. Unless you completely give up the QQ show, you will definitely lose the case." Xu Liang said calmly.

Bonima and Zeng Liqing looked at each other.

They all know whether QQ Show is plagiarized or not.

If you really go to court, you will definitely lose the case.

Although they can't spend much money, if the QQ show goes offline, their losses will be huge.

Three to four million a month is not a small amount of money.

This is especially important for Penguin who wants to develop other revenue channels besides mobile QQ.

"Mr. Xu, you are also the major shareholder of Penguin, accounting for 63% of the company's equity. To you, Penguin and Hongmeng are as close as the palm of your hand to the back of your hand."

Zeng Liqing played the emotional card.

Glancing at Zeng Liqing, Xu Liang smiled and said, "I'm just a financial shareholder of Penguin."

Although he owns 63% of Penguin's shares, he only has half of the voting rights.

Penguin is just a godson, so naturally he doesn't have to be important to Hongmeng, his biological son.
