Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 122: Playing Both Sides
Principal Wang is now wealthy and powerful. Ever since he sent out the short eight-word message of "enter with force and integrate e-sports" in 2011, he has been making plans around e-sports.
Panda Live Streaming Platform and Banana Game Media are just supplements to Principal Wang’s layout of the e-sports industry chain, which is also a reflection of Principal Wang’s ambition.
The slight influence Zhou Dongsheng had on it was just to slightly advance the time of what was bound to happen.
At present, it is still unknown how much impact this little advance time will have, but Zhou Dongsheng’s original intention of making the most of his profits by taking advantage of Principal Wang’s favorable conditions has not changed.
What's more, Principal Wang is now at the peak of his career in terms of both fame and capital.
"The sponsorship fees are small amounts of money, just think of it as the appearance fee for inviting you, the 'national husband', to participate in the show!" Zhou Dongsheng joked.
"You kid, I won't be polite with you. I will arrange a star to help you when the time comes." Principal Wang scolded with a smile.
"By the way, Principal, isn't Brother Jing's movie about to be released?" Speaking of celebrities, Zhou Dongsheng thought of "Wolf Warrior" which will be released in April.
"You are a man who doesn't do anything without benefits. Why do you care so much about an actor?" Principal Wang teased playfully.
"Don't talented actors like Brother Jing represent huge benefits?" Zhou Dongsheng said as a matter of course.
"I feel like you're more competent than me as an investor. I spend all day looking for investment projects to bet on, and you always make the right bet. It's really weird."
Principal Wang also shook his head and sighed, and he was naturally talking about Yaofeng Technology.
Yaofeng Technology has seen five consecutive gains since its IPO. With high market sentiment and institutional support, it seems that the sky is the limit.
The more evil Yaofeng Technology becomes, the more it proves that Zhou Dongsheng’s words have come true.
Zhou Dongsheng chuckled, saying, "This is just the beginning." It's not without reason that Yaofeng Technology can be called the "King of Monsters" in this epic market trend in 2015.
In addition to making some quick money, it is also Zhou Dongsheng's bargaining chip to lure people into a trap.
"Unfortunately, it's too late to invest in Brother Jing's movie. We can only wait for the next one." Zhou Dongsheng said with pretended regret.
Although a preliminary investment possibility had been reached with Wu Jing during the previous business promotion, whether this possibility could be turned into reality would depend on the actual situation.
The upcoming movie "Wolf Warrior" will prove to the market Wu Jing's ability as a director, and also open the door to the capital market for Wu Jing.
With mature works laying the foundation, it is enough to arouse capital's interest in investing in Wu Jing's next work, and at least the rate of return is guaranteed.
This also means that if Wu Jing wants to make his next movie, he will not face the embarrassing situation of not being able to get investment in the early stages.
By then, there will be plenty of excellent investors for Wu Jing to choose from, and even if Zhou Dongsheng makes an appointment in advance, there is no guarantee that he will stand out.
After all, in the film industry, Zhou Dongsheng doesn't have any other resources to offer except money.
So, if you want to increase your own weight, winning over Principal Wang is naturally a good choice.
After all, Principal Wang not only has his own capital, but also has the resources of Yida Cinemas, which is already a fertile resource that ranks among the best in the film industry.
If I can't get on the "Wolf Warrior 2" train, then I'll drag Principal Wang along with me. Even if I earn less, it's better than earning nothing.
What's more, the greater benefit of investing in "Wolf Warrior 2" is fame, fame and fortune. After you have fame, are you afraid of not having profits?
Zhou Dongsheng's wishful thinking was going smoothly, but Principal Wang naturally didn't know that he had become a "tool" in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes.
On the contrary, Zhou Dongsheng repeatedly expressed his optimism about Wu Jing, which made Principal Wang a little concerned. After all, Zhou Dongsheng has demonstrated his investment "vision" many times.
"You are so optimistic about Wu Jing, so how high do you think the box office of Wolf Warrior will be?" Principal Wang asked with interest.
"It's hard to say, but it's definitely several hundred million." Zhou Dongsheng gave a vague answer.
The main thing is that he couldn't remember the box office performance of "Wolf Warrior ". There was no other way, because the second part was so dazzling that it raised the domestic box office record by more than one level.
"Okay, if there are really so many, then it is indeed worth investing. I'll hang up in advance. See you at the recording show!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Principal Wang seemed to be thinking about something. Now, Zhou Dongsheng, as a friend, had some weight in Principal Wang's mind.
Especially as Zhou Dongsheng has repeatedly demonstrated his "extraordinary" investment vision, even if it is just luck, it is worth making friends with him just for this luck.
Even Principal Wang cannot go against money. Only by making more money can he continue to maintain his arrogance.
On Zhou Dongsheng's side, after hanging up the phone with Principal Wang, he sent Wu Jing an advance congratulatory text message to make his presence felt.
"Brother Jing, the movie is about to be released and it will definitely be a big hit at the box office. A few hundred million will be no problem. I am ready to book out the entire company to show my support. I hope to invest in your next movie."
Zhou Dongsheng didn't bother to think about it and just sent it over. Anyway, it was just to show his face to deepen the impression and let Wu Jing remember him when he started to put the dish together.
"Okay, I'll borrow your good words. If the box office reaches a few hundred million, I'll treat you to a meal. I haven't decided on the next movie yet, but I will definitely not forget you, don't worry!"
Ever since the last chat with Zhou Dongsheng, Wu Jing was impressed by this young man who was very much to his liking.
Even if it was just polite talk, at least Zhou Dongsheng's words touched Wu Jing's heart.
"Then I'll treat you to this meal, brother. If the movie doesn't have hundreds of millions in box office revenue, I'll pay for it out of my own pocket and still have to eat your meal."
Zhou Dongsheng sent the message without changing his expression. Because he didn't remember the specific box office, he used the word "hundreds of millions" in a steady manner.
Theoretically, as long as the box office exceeds 100 million, it will be within this range. If the movie doesn’t even make 100 million…
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time I go to Yangcheng." Wu Jing responded generously.
After reading the text message, Zhou Dongsheng put away his phone. Now that he had said it, he must do what he said.
Zhou Dongsheng walked out of the office, cleared his throat and shouted.
"I have a small announcement. We will book a theater in two days to invite everyone to watch a movie. We will treat it as a company team building event."
"Yeah! Long live the boss, what movie is it?"
"Who cares what movie it is? Why would the boss want a bicycle to invite you to a movie?"
"It's just that I haven't watched a movie in a while, so it's a good time to relax."
The employees also smiled and started discussing with each other enthusiastically.
Today, there are many people working in Little People Media, and since they are basically young people, the entire company is full of thriving vitality.
After taking a quick glance at his own company, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly felt blessed. His Little People Media could also be regarded as a publicity and promotion channel, right?
Since you want to make friends with Wu Jing, you might as well increase your own weight and let Xiaorenren Media act as a "tap water" to add fuel to "Wolf Warrior" and make the box office burn even more!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh. Why did he feel that he was getting more and more adept at these things?
