Chapter 532 Everyone's Shock
There are not many people who can become rich easily.
Although there is a lot of luck involved, it will soon be eliminated in the great waves.
As the "carnivore" class, what they are most accustomed to and good at doing is to analyze the psychology and plans of the operators at the time of some major events based on various information leaked later.
Therefore, as more and more information came out, the true picture of the entire crude oil futures and Toutiao Technology ownership change incident gradually came to the fore of the wealthy in Gangcheng, Tiandu and Qindong.
First of all, the biggest beneficiary in the whole incident is definitely Chen Yan.
Not only did he make a big bet, he also successfully earned more than 12 billion in cash in just over a month!
Moreover, it has successfully swallowed up Toutiao Technology, which has the potential to become a giant.
At the beginning, no one understood. How could Chen Yan, who was making money, swallow up Toutiao Technology?
However, after Zhang Yonghao was expelled from Toutiao Technology and cried and sought help in the circle, they finally understood the reason.
In order to get on Chen Yan's money-making express train, Zhang Yonghao, this sandbag, actually mortgaged 20% of his shares to Chen Yan.
This is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
If these wealthy people were in Chen Yan's position, they would also grab the 20% stake at all costs.
So, up to this point, the families and wealthy people actually feel that everything is understandable and acceptable.
But later, when they learned that Chen Yan's final 5% of the shares were actually obtained from Zhao Qingtian, his mortal enemy, they were shocked.
You know, Zhao Qingtian is Zhang Yonghao's absolute backup.
It was precisely because of the grudge between Zhao Qingtian and Chen Yan that was gradually becoming known to the public, as well as the fact that there was a force powerful enough to protect Zhang Yonghao, that Zhang Yonghao dared to betray Chen Yan again and again and go find Zhao Qingtian.
As a result, now he even gave all his shares to Zhao Qingtian, but Zhao Qingtian sold him out?
What exactly went wrong here?
Did Chen Yan and Zhao Qingtian reach a settlement?
Did Chen Yan impress Zhao Qingtian with some kind of exchange of benefits that Zhao Qingtian couldn't refuse?
Or...is this all a show?
Because there is too little information, no one knows the truth behind all this.
However, this casts a mysterious and powerful veil over Chen Yan.
Although everyone recognized Chen Yan's strength before, most people only regarded him as a newcomer who had not yet established a solid position.
It is too easy to create myths in this era, but most of them will disappear quickly like shooting stars.
Because, in the final analysis, they do not have the strength and means to match their wealth.
But this time, Chen Yan proved his strength and means to everyone.
Then, everyone started to review the losers this time.
As a result, they were surprised to find that except Chen Yan, everyone else was a loser in this incident.
Zhang Yonghao lost.
Zhao Qingtian lost.
Even Hong Kong’s entire financial circle lost.
And what’s even more terrifying is…in the financial circle of Hong Kong City, no matter who bet on Chen Yan in the early stage or who wanted to make Chen Yan explode in the later stage, all lost.
After discovering this fact, everyone couldn't help but feel horrified.
Then they reviewed Chen Yan's big bet on crude oil.
Before, because the matter was not settled, no one could analyze it. But now that the matter is completely over, they reversed the entire process of Chen Yan's gamble.
As a result, they found that everything Chen Yan did was very stable and planned.
From building a position at the beginning, then gradually doubling the position, to increasing the margin step by step, and finally reaping the benefits.
At first they didn't understand Chen Yan's plan.
But now, they suddenly understood what Chen Yan was doing: he was laying bait, using the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, little by little increasing his own strength and luring the enemy.
If he immediately threw all his funds into the market like a mountain falling on his head, he could indeed still drive down the oil price, but don't forget: this is the real financial market, not a game.
If you want to sell, the transaction can only be completed if there is a buyer. If you want to buy, the transaction can only be completed if there is a seller.
If the financial circle sees that you are so determined to win, or sees that the risk is too great, they will most likely not quit.
Then it is very likely that Chen Yan is playing alone with a bunch of retail investors and having fun by himself.
It was he who lured the Hong Kong city's financial circle into action, giving him opponents and targets to harvest.
Moreover, when crude oil futures collapsed, it was his opponent's defeat that once again pushed up the price of the entire market, causing the price of crude oil to fall again, allowing him to reap greater profits.
In other words, through step-by-step planning, he successfully turned his enemies into "his helpers in victory" and reaped their wealth.
“This is a true financial master!”
"It's as if he can see into the future, like he has the eyes of God."
"He was like someone with the hand of God, disrupting the entire financial market by himself."
“You can’t be his enemy in the financial markets.”
This is the conclusion reached by many people after analysis.
The major financial companies themselves are the largest capital, and those who can enter are the elite among the elites, the smartest among the smart.
But Chen Yan played them around like a puppet. This was simply too daunting.
What's more, Chen Yan not only played around with the financial circle in Hong Kong, but also schemed against Zhang Yonghao and Zhao Qingtian during this period, making them hand over Toutiao to him.
This complex strategy of killing two birds with one stone simply amazed everyone.
So, after reviewing the entire incident, they came to a conclusion: it was not that Zhang Yonghao was too weak, but that Chen Yan was too strong.
Losing to Chen Yan...is not shameful for him.
And Chen Yan...
This person can only be made friends with, not an enemy.
Chen Yan's incident this time was really too big, and the impact was still continuing, like the center of a vortex, drawing more and more people in...
At this time, Chen Yan didn't know that a huge storm was slowly forming because of his own affairs.
At this moment, he was in the office, chatting with... the little fairy Lu Man...
…
Chen Yan's stirring up trouble in the financial circle, capital circle, and wealthy circle is a bit too far away from ordinary people.
Although he caused a lot of trouble, it did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people.
Even most people don’t know that there is a person who made more than 10 billion yuan in a month, and there is a person who directly seized Toutiao Technology.
Just like Lu Man, she didn't even know about the plunge in crude oil futures, she just heard that there seemed to be a fight on the oil front.
In her circle of life, everything is peaceful and peaceful, she is filming and enjoying the attention of thousands of people.
This time, after being interviewed in Tiandu and being asked by Song Chuang to promote "The Wandering Planet", Lu Man returned to Qindao and immediately went to find Chen Yan.
Arriving at Chen Yan's office and locking the door, Lu Man jumped around in the office like an elf, "Chen Yan! Chen Yan! I want a vacation! A long vacation!"
At this time, Chen Yan had just finished being bombarded with phone calls from wealthy people in three places and was handling official business.
He was correcting documents with a pen in hand, and asked without even looking up, "Vacation? Why are you looking for me? Look for Sister Meili."
"She's your agent. If you want to adjust your schedule, shouldn't you go to her?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man pouted angrily, then she came to Chen Yan, leaned on the table, pressed down Chen Yan's documents, stared at Chen Yan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "If I can talk it out with her, why would I come to you?"
"You don't know, ever since the agency was established and she recruited batches of trainees, she has been treating me like a donkey!"
"The trainees' dance, let me demonstrate. The trainees' monthly exam, let me be the judge."
"There are outstanding trainees who want to warm up, and she also asked me to bring them to variety shows!"
"Even last time she went to Tiandu, she arranged for two or three trainees to follow her, just to take advantage of my popularity."
While listening, Chen Yan pushed her hand away, trying to rescue the document from Lu Man's clutches.
But Lu Man completely ignored the fact that Chen Yan's hand was right below her, and as she spoke, she pressed harder, forcing Chen Yan to listen to her.
Lu Man, "You don't know. I'm already very busy with my work. Now I'm even busier in order to guide these trainees."
"Plus all those movies, TV series, and variety shows you assigned to me. I'm so busy!"
As she spoke, she pushed Chen Yan's documents under her body again, then puffed her face, glared, and said, "So, I want a vacation, a vacation!"
Listening to Lu Man's words and watching her unreasonable actions, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little amused.
He felt that this woman was born in the year of the cat.
She likes freedom and doesn't like you to bother her.
But if she misses you, she will be annoying. If you don't come to accompany her, she will pester you.
While mentally turning Lu Man into a cat, Chen Yan stroked her hair and said, "Okay. If you want a vacation, I'll let Sister Meili give you one."
Hearing Chen Yan's agreement, Lu Man immediately put down the documents on the table and cheered in the office like a little child.
However, before she could be happy for even a minute, Chen Yan took the document towards him and said, "But now is your critical period."
"In one month, Wandering Planet will be released."
"This is the masterpiece I promoted for you on Weibo. A lot of people are paying attention to it."
"And the one you're competing against is the new film by your arch-enemy Director Zhang."
"He... is coming with great force."
Lu Man's movements froze.
Chen Yan put the document down and continued to correct it while saying, "Besides, you are the major shareholder of the agency. The better the agency develops, the more profit you will make."
"I have seen Sister Meili's achievements during this period."
"She has trained a group of good newcomers. I can see that there are several who have great potential."
"Think about it. If we take down Xu Brothers Pictures, half of the entertainment industry will be vacant. Then this group of trainees will take over. In three to five years, each of them will become a first- or second-tier star."
"So what is this agency? And what are you?"
Chen Yan paused, "This agency will be the Whampoa Military Academy of the entertainment industry, and you will be the principal."
"And coupled with your title of billion-dollar movie actress."
"You will become an evergreen in the entertainment industry. In the next 20 years, if you say you are the top star in the entertainment industry, no one will dare to disobey you."
The expression on Lu Man's face began to reveal deep thought.
Chen Yan was holding the documents and looked up at Lu Man with a smile.
I saw that Lu Man really listened.
Then he quickly pretended to be serious and said, "But, Manman, I am definitely on your side. If you want to take a vacation, I will definitely support you with all my strength."
Lu Man is not a fool. She easily guessed Chen Yan's strategy.
So, although she didn’t want to take a vacation, she still “angrily” said, “You evil capitalist!”
"I'm not going to take a vacation, that's not okay! Ugh!"
Seeing that Lu Man’s defense was broken, Chen Yan stood up with a smile, hugged her gently, and tried to coax her.
But who would have known that Lu Man's crying was just acting... Ever since she drank a few bottles of professional potential potion, Lu Man's acting skills have become more and more perfect.
Chen Yan was not careful for a moment and was actually fooled by her, and then... he was bitten on the shoulder by Lu Man's evil plan.
Being bitten suddenly, Chen Yan couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss. It hurts, it hurts."
Lu Man snorted and said, "Let you plot against me!"
Chen Yan raised his hand and slapped Lu Man's plump buttocks hard, causing Lu Man to tremble all over and moan.
Then she immediately looked up at Chen Yan with a wronged look, her eyes full of lust.
The desire in those eyes seemed to be able to melt Chen Yan into her body. Chen Yan could not help but lower his head and kissed Lu Man's cherry lips.
Lu Man stretched out her hands, put her arms around Chen Yan's neck, and then fell into this sweet kiss.
The room suddenly went from being noisy to quiet.
After a while, when Chen Yan's hands began to reach in and grasp those two sweet and soft lumps, Lu Man finally came back to her senses . She slapped Chen Yan's hands away with a coquettish look, and then scolded with a smile, "My clothes are very expensive, please~ Don't tear them for me."
As she said this, she wanted to escape, but Chen Yan stretched out his hand to hold her slender waist and said frivolously, "I like expensive ones. There is a different kind of pleasure when I tear them into pieces."
Chen Yan's words made Lu Man's face turn red.
Then she gently patted Chen Yan's arm and said, "Stop making trouble~ We are still in the company."
"Let's talk about what's next."
What Chen Yan just said actually reminded Lu Man.
Now is definitely not the time to take a break. Because what is coming next is indeed a crucial battle for Chen Yan in the entertainment industry. It is also a crucial battle for her, Lu Man.
If they win, they will be the king and queen of the entertainment industry.
If she loses, then maybe she will fall like a meteor, or she will become a little wife beside Chen Yan.
And the latter was not what she wanted.
She felt like a little bird, not a canary. Although she longed for love, she also longed for freedom. She didn't want to be tied to someone's side to be watched and played with...
So, next, the two of them gave a comprehensive consideration to what to do next.
After the incident with Toutiao Technology, Chen Yan's voice in the media was greatly enhanced.
Then his next target will be the Xu brothers and the entertainment industry.
In particular, with two major traffic media outlets, Toutiao Technology and Weibo, Chen Yan has actually reached the top in the country in terms of publicity channels.
With such unique conditions, his entry into the entertainment industry is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Although the output value of the entertainment industry is not as high as that of other industries, it also has its unique features: that is influence.
Imagine if Chen Yan really conquered the entertainment industry, half of the movies, TV series, variety shows, celebrities, and artists would all be from his company.
So if Chen Yan wants to get into any industry or business, he can get a lot of support and start it right away.
And once he wants to convey some values or information, it will be transmitted to everyone's mind as quickly as possible.
Don't underestimate the influence of celebrities. Although their influence on middle-aged and elderly users is limited, their influence on young people is huge.
And because of the star effect, they can magnify the publicity effect of 100 to 1,000, 10,000...
Therefore, how to win the next battle, defeat Director Zhang, take down the Xu brothers, and dominate the entertainment industry becomes the top priority.
The two discussed the next plan for more than an hour.
In fact, there is not much valuable stuff, nothing more than leveraging, publicity, channels and subsequent attacks on the Xu brothers.
The most valuable of these is probably the cooperation with Toutiao Technology.
Previously, when Chen Yan and Yang Rou were making plans, they did not know that Chen Yan would take over Toutiao Technology at this time, so they did not take this into account.
And now, Chen Yan and Lu Man have added the functions of Toutiao Technology’s flagship products: Toutiao and Douyin.
After adding them together, we realized how terrifying these two apps were...
It is no exaggeration to say that the two feel that if Toutiao Technology puts all its efforts into increasing the sales of "The Wandering Planet", it will be no problem for the box office of "The Wandering Planet" to increase by another 200 to 300 million yuan.
After the plan was discussed, the two of them reviewed the plan again, and then planned to pass the matter down and then execute it according to the plan.
After folding up the information, Chen Yan said to Lu Man, "Okay, let's stop discussing this matter . I will talk to Sister Rou again later."
"When the time comes, it will be up to you two to carry out the specific tasks."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man nodded, "Okay. I'll talk to Sister Meili later to see how the variety show she has been preparing is going."
"If that variety show can be produced in advance, then we can occupy the market after the fall of the Xu brothers."
Just as the two were chatting, suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Yan and Lu Man paused for a moment, and then Chen Yan asked, "Who is it?"
He Mengxue's sweet voice came from outside the door, "It's me, Chen Yan."
Hearing He Mengxue's pleasant voice, Lu Man made a face at Chen Yan, then lowered her voice and imitated, "It's me~~Chen Yan~~~"
Chen Yan glared at her, then stood up and went to open the door.
He and Lu Man did not do anything, and He Mengxue also knew the relationship between Chen Yan and Lu Man, so Chen Yan had nothing to hide.
Thinking of this, he walked to the door and opened it.
As a result, when the office door opened, He Mengxue jumped onto Chen Yan with a look of joy, hugged Chen Yan, and said happily,
"Chen Yan! You are so amazing! How did you do it? How did you judge the situation so accurately and how did you take down Toutiao Technology?"
"Tell me about it! Tell me about it!"
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan smiled and grabbed her little butt, wanting to teach her a lesson not to make such a fuss.
As a result, at this moment, Chen Yan suddenly froze.
Then, he felt a sudden chill on his back, and cold sweat broke out.
Because he suddenly remembered something: ... He Mengxue knew about his relationship with Lu Man, but ... Lu Man didn't know about his relationship with He Mengxue! !
Thinking of this, he turned around stiffly and looked at Lu Man behind him.
Lu Man looked at the two of them in disbelief, his eyes full of shock...
