Who are you calling powerful?

A consensus was reached on the repurchase of PPTV shares in mid-March.

The price was beyond many people's expectations. Suning sold 15% of its shares for 6.5 billion yuan.

When this was announced, the whole network was in uproar!

This means that PPTV's valuation has approached 45 billion yuan, which is also ranked high on the Internet.

However, after the uproar, it slowly returned to calm. After all, PPTV is recognized as the number one video website, and even the valuation of nearly 45 billion is quite conservative in the eyes of many people.

After all, the entertainment industry is now in full swing, and the market value valuation of related companies is also rising all the way.

For LeTV, although it has experienced hardships in recent years, after it was reported that Wei Yang had invested and Sunac had actually injected capital, the stock price rose again, and the peak period was close to 70 billion.

LeTV, which has not yet gotten rid of its difficulties, is still like this. Now PPTV, which has a bright future, cannot be less than 50 billion yuan.

Apart from other things, just from PPTV's prospectus, its revenue in 2016 exceeded 13.7 billion yuan, with the highest year-on-year growth rate in the industry, and the lowest loss rate, and it was even expected to achieve profitability.

Of course, LeTV should be put aside separately from the list here.

Not only did its revenue exceed 20 billion in 2016, but it was also the only one among major video websites that did not lose money, but instead made a profit of 550 million.

Boss Wei thought about it at home for a day and a night, but he couldn't figure out how LeTV achieved a revenue of more than 20 billion and even made a profit when it was beaten by PPTV, iQiyi, and Penguin, and its industry share was squeezed out of the four major websites.

If LeTV is really so awesome, why did it mortgage the copyright of the film library to PPTV?

It can only be said that Accountant Jia is so terrible!

Wei Yang doesn't care how Boss Jia does the accounting, but with PPTV's data and the current market environment, even a valuation of 50 billion may not be enough.

But since it is a valuation, there are ways to estimate it too high, and naturally there are ways to estimate it too low.

The repurchase of Suning shares is said to be at the market price, but the key website is not listed, so the market price is actually decided by the two parties, and each party shows its own skills.

The outside world thinks this price is low, which means that Wei Yang and PPTV are one step ahead.

Suning certainly lost money, but it is not as bad as the outside world imagines.

You know, when Suning and its partner company acquired PPTV, the two parties spent a total of only 2.5 billion.

Later, after Wei Yang took over, he continued to invest funds to dilute Suning's shares. Suning was still competing in the early days, but later it couldn't keep up, which also made Wei Yang finally control PPTV.

In the financing stage, Suning also invested some funds to keep its shares, but the amount was not much, so that in the end it only kept 15%.

These capital investments did not add up to 6.5 billion. Suning took so much money and left, which was actually a profit.

But obviously Suning would not think so. After all, this so-called "profit" is shared with the cost, energy, and time that Suning has paid for it, so it is difficult to be considered a profit.

Not to mention, Suning was kicked out this time. These shares are now worth 6.5 billion. When they are listed, the value will be even higher.

Even in Suning's view, the entire PPTV should belong to Suning.

Wei Yang used despicable means to rob them of a company worth tens of billions, and even hundreds of billions in the future.

Of course, PPTV rose under Wei Yang, and whether it can also achieve success in Suning's hands is naturally ignored...

When PPTV announced Suning's departure, an Instagram account suspected to be Suning's prince forwarded a foreign fable.

The plot is not complicated, and it can be summed up in four words - cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest

The intention is obvious, implying that Boss Wei robbed PPTV that "originally belonged" to Suning.

Many netizens who like to watch the excitement translated this story, even pointed out the hint, forwarded it to China, and it became a hot search.

The image of this prince is still good in China, at least much better than a certain young master Wang. After Suning took over Inter Milan, he was once considered a model of the rich second generation.

This time, Suning was given a big slap by Boss Wei. The prince of Suning couldn't help but be sarcastic. How could everyone not watch the fun? They wished that the two sides would fight.

There were even discussions on the Internet about who was right and who was wrong!

There are many people who support Suning. After all, many people love to sympathize with the weak.

Suning first bought shares, was deprived of control, and then was kicked out. It is indeed miserable. Boss Wei seems to be somewhat unkind.

There are also many people who support Boss Wei. The mall is like a battlefield. Suning took the lead and its own energy is not bad. In the end, it was kicked out alive, which shows that Suning is too weak.

Besides, everyone knows who is responsible for the rise of PPTV. Suning does not do its job and always drags its feet. Who else can it do?

The two sides quarreled fiercely on the Internet for a while, but one thing is recognized, that is, Suning did lose this time, and it and Wei Yang will become enemies.

Wei Yang naturally saw the voices on the Internet, which was not surprising. He thought of this day when he kicked Suning out.

In fact, in recent years, some haters have regarded Wei Yang's acquisition of shares after Suning and his seizure of power in PPTV as a major black spot of his, trying to show how cruel and despicable he is.

Wei Yang sometimes thinks that these people are sick.

He is a capitalist with a net worth of hundreds of billions, how can these people put him together with positive words such as kindness and honesty.

A gentleman who follows the rules and is kind and generous is not suitable for the entertainment industry, let alone the business world. He will be eaten by others without leaving any bones.

Wei Yang didn't bother to pay attention to these anti-intellectual remarks. He was more interested in the Suning prince who broke his defense.

Looking at the fable, Boss Wei was not very satisfied: "Wouldn't it be better to directly use the Middle East Jews as an example? It would be vivid and vivid. If you are so timid, how can you make everyone respect you in the future?"

But to be honest, this guy is quite shrewd. If it were some rich second-generations, they would probably have cursed him.

It's a pity. Wei Yang actually had a good impression of him. He had a good time talking about football last time. It's not the same fate in the future.

The most regrettable thing is that this prince Zhang will still be kicked out of Inter Milan in a few years, and he will have to experience the feeling of "occupying the magpie's nest" again...

Suning has become a thing of the past. Wei Yang's main concern now is PPTV, which has eliminated internal troubles.

Although this acquisition cost a lot of money, it also successfully created momentum for PPTV.

Before going public, most company valuations were fictitious, but this time there was a real money transaction, which gave everyone a reference.

If the relevant valuation data is lower than 45 billion, it would be a curse. If there is a slight positive news, the valuation will soar.

And PPTV also released the news at the right time. It is expected to raise more than 1.5 billion US dollars in this listing, which is 10.3+ billion yuan at the current exchange rate.

Although PPTV has not yet disclosed how many shares it has released and the specific charter of the specific fund raising, many institutions have raised PPTV's market value to more than 50 billion yuan, and those who are more optimistic are going straight to 60 billion.

PPTV is very excited about the outside world's optimism, and Wei Yang is also happy, but he knows that it is not the limit for PPTV at the moment.

The current video website stock market is just a relatively blank period.

Youku was acquired and delisted by Alibaba, Penguin is a subsidiary of Penguin and has not been independently listed, iQiyi is still in the process of brewing, Bilibili has not made a thorough effort, and Sohu and Mango are not threatening enough.

Only LeTV.com can be ranked, but it looks good on the surface, but it is actually in crisis.

Once Boss Jia runs away, the building will collapse, and no matter how high the stock price is, it will only fall faster or slower.

Therefore, once PPTV is listed, it is very likely to become the only video website listed company in the short term, and reap the dividends of the golden age of entertainment.

Wei Yang probably remembers that in his previous life, iQiyi was listed in early 2018, with a market value of about US$11 billion, more than RMB 70 billion.

It doesn't sound like much, but just a few months later, around the middle of the year, iQiyi's market value soared to US$24.4 billion, equivalent to RMB 160 billion, which was higher than Weibo at the time.

And this doesn't seem to be iQiyi's peak market value. At most, it should be more than US$30 billion, just like NetEase.

Of course, peak market value does not mean everything, but before the winter of masks and film and television came, iQiyi's long-term market value has been stable between US$15 billion and US$20 billion.

Today's PPTV may not be as good as iQiyi in some aspects compared to the same period in the previous life, but it is obviously stronger than iQiyi in some aspects.

Especially the daily momentum and the performance on the surface are extremely prominent and strong, which can easily have a positive impact on the stock price.

Therefore, Wei Yang is very ambitious, and the market value of 50 billion is just the beginning for him.

The film and television winter is only a few years away. If Boss Wei doesn't make a lot of money and fatten up, how can he survive the winter...

...

Boss Wei, who was not affected by the Suning incident, appeared at a high-end business conference in Shanghai a few days later and chatted and laughed with several bigwigs.

Soon, Wei Yang accepted an interview with the authoritative foreign financial "Financial Times", mainly talking about the entertainment ecology of Chinese film and television and the Internet.

But when this report was later transmitted back to Europe and the United States, everyone focused on Wei Yang's title-[Asia (the world?) The richest star].

This is also a major label for Wei Yang abroad, especially in Europe and the United States. They are very happy to tie his star attributes and the identity of a young rich man together, and then bully European and American stars such as Taylor and Justin Bieber.

However, this made Wei Yang recognized by two of the underwriters when he accompanied the PPTV listing team to the United States, and he enjoyed professional flattery from Wall Street.

After returning from the United States, Wei Yang appeared at the mobile game launch conference of Red Shark's popular game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

He and the CEO jointly condemned a shameless game company in Shenzhen for plagiarizing Red Shark's game, hoping that the other party would stop before it was too late, otherwise Red Shark would not hesitate to take it to court.

If the lawsuit is filed in Shanghai, Xuhui Tumbler will have the home advantage and may teach Nanshan Pizza Hut a lesson.

Throughout March, Wei Yang made several appearances, almost all of which had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but instead began to be active in the financial sector.

Some netizens joked that Boss Wei finally remembered that he was a big boss.

But there are also many netizens and fans who hope that he will not "do his job" and hurry up to film.

Unfortunately, this hope cannot be met in a short time, and Boss Wei even enjoys this kind of behind-the-scenes life.

It would be better if he had a few wives to serve!

In early April, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, perfect for a picnic.

Liu Shishi, who is seven months pregnant, has a very obvious belly. She has been cooped up at home for a long time, so she has to come out for some fresh air from time to time.

Wei Yang took her with him, and invited Li Jiahang and his wife, Xie Nan and Wu Jing and his wife who came to Shanghai, as well as Liu Yan, Guo Xiaoting, Hu Ge and others who had a good relationship with her to go fishing and picnicking in the fish pond contracted by Chongming Island.

Pregnant Liu Shishi was the center of attention and became the object of protection for all the girls, even Wei Yang was pushed aside.

He was also happy and relaxed, fishing with several male compatriots, cleaning up the barbecue, chatting and joking from time to time.

The main target of ridicule was Hu Ge. Although this guy didn't have "Nirvana in Fire" in this life, the performance data of his works were good, and he firmly maintained his top position.

But I don't know what this guy was thinking. He got excited and revealed a plan to study abroad.

What's even more ridiculous is that the organizer of a certain event held a farewell party without discussing it with him, and directly put Hu Ge on it.

No matter whether his boast of studying abroad was a joke or a pretense, or if he really had this idea, after this experience, he had to go.

But he obviously underestimated the difficulty of studying abroad. He was wandering alone, not knowing the language and culture, and had to put aside all the star halo and study hard. He would constantly encounter difficulties in his study and life.

If he really had the heart to study, he might have persisted.

But Hu Ge obviously didn't, so he came back in disgrace after a few months abroad, and was once hotly discussed and complained.

"Be honest this time, don't pretend, pretending will be struck by lightning."

Wei Yang gloated over the misfortune. He and Hu Ge had a good relationship and were equally famous in the early days. Now the gap is too big, but some people still connect the two together.

In terms of career, wealth, and achievements, Boss Wei has nothing to say, and he beats Hu Ge.

But in terms of character, or more accurately, personal style, it's Hu Ge's turn to beat him, not to mention that this guy has been marketing his love story with his first love girlfriend, and his reputation is very good among male stars.

Boss Wei has always been a little narrow-minded about Hu Ge's good reputation, and this time he saw him fall, he was particularly happy.

Hu Ge was very upset, but he was still very stubborn. He had to pretend to be so. If he didn't, he would rather die.

It's okay to make fun of each other privately, but you have to help when you need to, Wei Yang suggested.

"Why not say that I called you back and asked you to film a movie, which is a way for you to step down."

Although it was still a slap in the face, it was at least an excuse. If it was a particularly good resource, it might become a good story in the future.

For example, he didn't hesitate to give up his studies to film, and finally formed a classic Balabala.

Hu Ge was obviously moved, not only to avoid being slapped in the face, but also to know that Wei Yang asked him to have good resources, so his curiosity could not be stopped immediately.

"What drama? It's not the new drama you're preparing, right?"

"What are you thinking about? That's my drama. I'm talking about an online literature IP. After thinking about it, I think you're more suitable. If you don't shoot it, I'll give it to Zhang Ruoyun."

"Online literature? Male or female?"

"Male!"

Hu Ge was surprised: "Male, is this going to compete with Penguin? Will it work?"

"Most of the male hits are in Yuewen's hands, and this IP just doesn't belong to Yuewen."

Li Jiahang, who was busy digging coal, raised his head and said thoughtfully.

"You're not talking about "Snow Swordsman"?"
