The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Over the years, Tencent Entertainment has had its share of artists who have been blacklisted.

But the only celebrities with such a huge influence as the "national uncle" are probably a handful of top stars like Fan Haomen and Yang Baobei.

If all the secrets of the entertainment industry were to be exposed, it would probably blind countless people.

Even one's values ​​and worldview can be shattered.

Why is fake data so prevalent, even for a mega-entertainment group like theirs?

That's because many people make money from this.

It can be said that keeping mistresses and tax evasion are the least serious issues. Once the real stories of how female celebrities rise to fame are exposed, they will be much more serious.

Few so-called first-tier cities can coexist peacefully.

Lin Qiunan only realized how difficult the entertainment industry was after joining the secretariat team.

It can be said that these are female celebrities who don't have powerful backers, or who have no money or connections.

They can't get any major resources at all.

This industry is so corrupt.

"Uncle Chen, I think we should arrange a meeting with them first to see how much they want!"

If the "national uncle" falls from grace, Tencent Entertainment will have to pay at least 200 million yuan in compensation.

Although you could hold Xiubo accountable, he has already been blacklisted, so how much money could you possibly come up with?

Moreover, if he is banned like this, a lot of brands will probably come to him demanding compensation.

Chen Pingsheng said, "Why don't you arrange a meeting with them?"

Lin Qiunan was surprised that the big boss was unwilling to show his face at all, and only asked her, his little secretary, to handle such a big matter.

She obediently contacted the other party by phone.

Those photos were taken by Zhuo Wei, who is known as the top paparazzo in China.

Do you think he makes money by exposing celebrities' private lives?
That's completely overthinking it. He mainly makes money by selling privacy!
Those who do this kind of business would have been sent to jail long ago if they didn't have some connections behind the scenes.

Zhuo Wei was no exception.

He used to be a conscientious journalist, but in this industry, can conscience put food on the table?
Until one day, he photographed a second-tier celebrity cheating on his wife.

She's still a rising second-tier star.

Just as he was about to expose the incident directly, his superiors contacted the second-tier celebrity.

Then the other party bought all the photos from his boss for 1500 million.

He only received a prize of 15 yuan.

Later he got smarter and became a reporter for the sake of justice in the entertainment industry?
Stop joking. Houses in the city are getting more and more expensive. He also needs to support his family.

After resigning, Zhuo Wei spent a year finally capturing news of another A-list celebrity's extramarital affair.

This big shot contacted him privately and directly spent over 30 million to buy all the information from him.

He used the money to build an even bigger team, and the money came in faster and faster.

It's usually those with a lot of money who don't get exposed, and those with less money who can't reach an agreement that get exposed.

Through these ethical methods, his reputation in the industry grew, even surpassing that of Tencent Entertainment.

This group is not to be trifled with, as evidenced by how quickly they shut down Huayi Brothers and Jia Yueting of LeEco.

This big boss is no saint.

Zhuo Wei has become a bit arrogant; he can't possibly leave such a large document unused.

That's why those documents ended up on Chen Pingsheng's desk.

He thought he could at least get the boss of Tencent Entertainment to come and talk to him in person, but to his surprise, it was just a secretary who came.

Zhuo Wei asked for two hundred million without any hesitation.

Lin Qiunan was shocked by the number; those who could earn this much money were no ordinary people.

Naturally, it will not leave any evidence for anyone.

It's impossible to sue him for extortion.

Lin Qiunan sent Chen Pingsheng a message, which mainly consisted of a number.

Two hundred million, that's the price they offered.

Chen Pingsheng didn't even bother to look at it; he was looking for someone to investigate how much wealth Uncle Guomin actually owned in China.

Once he's made up his mind, before anyone else exposes it, he'll go after this guy himself for compensation.

Zhuo Wei didn't just talk about loneliness; he also completely immersed himself in it.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

Any job that makes money too quickly is written in the criminal code.

Someone like him is easy to find out about. Nobody knows how he disappeared from the entertainment industry; in any case, he's never been seen in the industry again.

As for Uncle Guomin, he had a great hand, but he ruined it all because of a mistress.

He dominated the entertainment news for seven consecutive days, a stark contrast to his former glory.

Tencent Entertainment's stock price has fallen for five consecutive days, wiping out nearly 10 billion yuan in value.

This was nothing to Chen Pingsheng; as I said before, he was not threatened by anyone.

If someone tries to extort money from him through threats, he'd rather pay ten times the price.

They will not back down in the slightest on this matter.

Not only did he avoid losing money, he also had someone report Wu Yifan, the biggest artist from his rival's company, to the authorities.

Huayi has been working on it for several years now.

Tencent Entertainment has been the industry leader for many years.

There are always some restless people who want to take advantage of him, but they simply don't understand Chen Pingsheng at all.

What does it matter if a few artists are sacrificed?
If you dare to send someone to investigate his side, he will definitely send someone to investigate your side.

Now look what happened, not only did they not get the money, but they also failed to get it back.

The so-called top paparazzo went straight in, and the biggest celebrity in the entertainment industry who supported his investigation of Tencent Entertainment's artists was also gone.

He lost hundreds of millions, and his competitors were even considering filing for bankruptcy.

I guess no one expected him to do something so self-destructive.

Anyone who tries to use these underhanded tactics on their company again should really think twice about the consequences.

Anyway, giving money is out of the question.

After Chen Pingsheng returned home, Yang Changwen immediately ran over and apologized on the spot.

He was indeed planning to invest in making movies, but he was also very clear about his thoughts.

Given Uncle Guomin's fame over the past few years, the chances of losing money are extremely small if you can get him to play the lead role.

I had already planned to ask him, who was a guarantee of high ratings, to film my first drama.

They were just about to spend tens of millions to cast him as the lead actor, but then he turned around and died.

He was even personally blacklisted by his own brother-in-law.

Luckily, he hadn't taken the money out yet, otherwise, who would he have to complain to?

Yang Changwen is also quite unprincipled. Not only does he express his gratitude verbally, but he also wants to have two, three, or even a fourth child, all with the surname Song.

If the surname Song isn't enough, the sister-in-law's son can also change his surname to Chen.

That bastard has a really vivid imagination.

Yang Changwen kept making assurances.

He genuinely didn't see that Song Yanxi was already standing behind him.

Given Song Yanxi's personality, Yang Changwen's words were tantamount to offending her to death!
It's one thing to be shameless yourself, but to dare to come to her house and bring up such a shameless thing is another.

Her sister's child took her husband's surname; it was her brother-in-law who suggested it.

If the law allowed, she would have already torn that bastard Yang Changwen to pieces.

I can't understand why Song Wu chose such an unreliable husband.

Yang Changwen dared not stay at his house any longer and quickly ran away.

Song Yanxi said angrily, "That bastard really dares to mention that!"

"Don't you know him? He's not a bad person, he just has no principles or bottom line."

It was just a joke, so it won't cause much of a stir.

Song Yanxi just felt sorry for her sister.

How could they have chosen such an irresponsible person?

Chen Pingsheng explained, "That guy wanted to get Wu Xiubo to act in his movie last month. Luckily, I reminded him, otherwise he would have lost all his money."

"Hmph!" Song Yanxi snorted twice. "Can't this guy just behave himself? Does he even have the brains to do business?"

"You've just made a little money and you're already getting cocky. I suddenly think your sister's husband, Hu Lin, is pretty good."

Hu Lin and he are absolutely the two extremes.

Even if you put 100 million yuan in cash in front of Hu Lin, he will still go to work the next day.

Song Yanxi was also angry.

I've never seen anyone so shameless. It's one thing to be shameless yourself, but don't drag her into it.
