Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 642 - 229: Sun Dasheng Enjoys the Blessings of Many Beauties (Part 2)
Sun Dacheng: "Defamation, someone’s defaming me, brother, you’ve got bad people around you. Who’s the treacherous one trying to sow discord between us brothers?"
"I’m clearly sticking close to you, working hard to fulfill your strategic intentions, not just spending money recklessly."
"The cultural domain is also an important part of discourse power. If we don’t occupy it, our enemies will. So what’s wrong with spending a bit more money?"
Tsk tsk... this clever mouth can really chatter.
But actually, he’s not wrong. He had said these words to the other party before, it’s admirable he remembers so clearly.
"Alright, speak up, how much money do you need." He has plenty of money right now, as long as the other party’s reason is justified, he’s not stingy.
After all, spending more money in the entertainment circle doesn’t hurt.
These past few days in Hengdian, he’s been frequently favored by top beauties, isn’t the effect showing?
If he only had money and no influence in this circle, wanting top female celebrities to approach him? Don’t even think about it.
Having reached this level, actually, they don’t really lack money anymore.
What they truly want are resources.
Resources are as important to them as water is to fish.
Without resources, they’d be like fish without water, dying quickly.
After all, this industry sees countless new actors entering each year, and there’s no shortage of beautiful women here.
As long as there are resources, capital can elevate a top star at any time.
This isn’t an exaggeration.
This might not have been true in the previous decades, but in today’s era where traffic is king, it’s not alarmist talk, but cold hard fact.
Even if you’re an ugly duckling, with resources, you can be packaged into a ’white swan’ and become a top star.
"Heh heh... You’re so generous, brother, that I almost feel guilty to con... I mean, to ask, it’s only one trillion, just one trillion, and we can build our own platform."
Pfft...
Sitting in his office drinking tea, Sun Dasheng almost spat out his tea.
Thankfully, there was no one in the office, or else people would have seen President Sun, who’s usually calm as a mountain, make a fool of himself.
"One trillion? Are you trying to buy Tencent, Alibaba, or Baidu?" Of course, he’s not referring to these three internet giant companies themselves.
Although one trillion is a lot, thinking of buying The Big Three is a fool’s dream, even the lowest valued Baidu is impossible.
What he means is that the top three in the entertainment circle now belong to subsidiaries of these three internet giants: Tencent Video, Youku Video, iQiyi.
And a series of affiliated companies derived from these three major platforms.
Who would’ve thought.
Since the decline of coal bosses and real estate bosses, the entertainment circle has welcomed its new elite: internet tycoons.
Those who play with the internet are shrewd people who consume everything.
How should I say this.
When they first entered, relying on the generous spending strategy of internet companies, people thought the God of Wealth had arrived.
Later, after clearing the competition and driving other companies out, they showed their true colors, starting to squeeze out the profits of this industry’s upstream and downstream, wanting to earn every penny, not leaving any room for others.
Therefore, these internet players have a much poorer reputation in the entertainment circle than those in real estate, let alone the coal bosses everyone now fondly remembers.
"Brother, you’re half right, I’d love to buy them too, but unfortunately, they won’t sell. These platforms are golden geese; despite their huge deficits in financial reports every year, they’ll never sell."
Sun Dacheng had long seen through the intentions of these internet giants, confidently saying: "So if we want to further enhance our company’s influence, we have to build our own Star Point Company platform, and then build a series of: performing arts, brokerage, film, anime, animation, original novel scripts, music, ticket buying software, cinema lines, etc., around this platform."
"This way we can become an entertainment giant with no shortcomings, achieve the strategic ecosystem cycle of the enterprise, and have self-financing capability."
Who would’ve thought, who would’ve thought, you, Sun Dacheng, have such ambition?
If you have ambition, then I, as your brother, can’t be lacking, right?
So he directly called him, connected:
"Alright, I know your plan, very good, I support you."
Laughter came from the phone: "So you’re agreeing, brother?"
"Agreeing, but..."
"But what?" The other party’s tone suddenly became uneasy: "Brother, just tell me what requirements you have, and I will definitely fulfill."
He knew that this money wasn’t easy to get.
Although the dream he painted smelled sweet, whether or not it could be accomplished was still a question mark.
After all, there are still three giant obstacles ahead; to become the fourth force, he’d have to see if they agree or not.
But would those three agree to let newcomers share the fruits of their victory?
Of course not.
There would definitely be a series of bloody battles awaiting him.
Whether or not he would win in the end, no one could say.
After all, they belong to a later developing company, which has its advantages: the previous companies have already cleared the mines, knowing what can be done and what can’t.
But the downside is also clear: without a first-mover advantage, others have already taken the good spots, and latecomers wanting to compete and claim territory will have to pay more money and effort.
Sun Dacheng understood these things, and Sun Dasheng was also well aware, but he didn’t care, as he had lots of money, and he could let Sun Dacheng, this Sleeping Dragon, handle the thinking.
So he laughed: "Relax a bit, what I’m saying is, your plan is great, but is one trillion enough?"
"Huh?" Sun Dacheng got a bit caught off guard.
"With one trillion, maybe you can just smash out a video platform, but what about the other affiliated companies? Do you still have money to acquire and build them?"
"I’ll manage to squeeze it out." Sun Dacheng suddenly deflated a bit.
He thought his cousin wouldn’t approve of his idea, thinking he was too aggressive.
"Now, the film company’s annual profits are still considerable, we can siphon off from this company." Sun Dacheng was still trying to push his case.
"Brother, although my plan sounds a bit aggressive, the best times to do this are the past and now. The more you delay it, the harder it will be to succeed and the higher the cost."
Sun Dasheng laughed: "Did I ever say no?"
Uh???
"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, like I said just now, one trillion certainly won’t be enough, so I’ll give you two trillion. With two trillion, can you make sure to beat The Big Three and reach the top?"
Sun Dasheng’s tone in the phone suddenly flared up.
"Brother, I’ll make sure to complete the task!" Sun Dacheng also got fired up: "Two trillion, if I still fail, wouldn’t that make me utterly useless?"
"If you don’t succeed, then bring your head to see me!"
The determination here is quite something.
Sun Dasheng joked angrily: "What do I need your head for? You want to get me jailed?"
"No... it’s just... I was just showing my determination." Sun Dacheng touched his head, smiling embarrassingly.
"I’m planning to do this and that..." He started explaining his plan on the phone.
And was interrupted by Sun Dasheng.
"Alright, cut the high talk, I’m not looking at how you do it, I just want the final result."
"Got it, brother, just wait and see." Sun Dacheng’s tone shifted: "Brother, I’m planning to take the agency department out to establish an independent agency company, what do you think?"
"That’s an internal matter of your company, do I need to be asked?" Sun Dasheng said unhappily.
"Hehe... As long as you agree." Sun Dacheng acted dumb, but in his heart, he was thinking: Who doesn’t know that the female stars signed under the agency department are all your favorites? If I don’t report this, will I get any good results?
And he wanted to take out the agency department for this reason.
To establish an independent agency company, and then build a personal studio for these signed actors, letting the star studios attach to the agency company.
The agency company follows a model where everyone eats the meat together if there’s money.
The benefit of doing this is that each signed star is relatively independent, making conflicts less likely to occur.
He’s now preparing to drastically reform the company’s internals, to clear up internal problems and take big steps forward, at this time, it’s vital to avoid any internal conflicts.
His biggest fear is of any internal conflicts emerging?
Isn’t it just those signed stars, each a living treasure, dear to his brother’s heart, which one to offend and which one to cater to is a constant problem.
So he’s simply letting these people have some independence, even if it means giving them a little more shares of the subsidiary, it doesn’t matter.
After all, the meat eventually belongs in the pot, his cousin wouldn’t say anything about it because of this.
He might even praise him for doing well.
"Not bad, just go ahead as you said." Unsurprisingly, Sun Dasheng’s voice on the phone carried praise.
"Got it, brother, I’ll get right on it." Sun Dacheng hung up the phone with a sycophantic smile.
