The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chang Fu brought his thuggish style to Tencent Entertainment.

He doesn't bother with the top A-list celebrities; he only focuses on those popular stars.

These people are arrogant and have terrible acting skills. They like to bring dozens of bodyguards with them when they go out, acting like they are some kind of important person.

Looking at the financial statements, it's clear that they haven't produced a single profitable drama series in the past few years.

Several popular young actors were standing in front of Chang Fu, protesting his decision to first make money through live-streaming e-commerce before acting.

"President Chang, we are not some low-class internet celebrities. It is clearly inappropriate for you to use the same tactics you use on internet celebrities to describe us."

"That's right. You're not the only film company here. As long as I, Li Zifeng, leave here, there will be tons of people asking me to sign a contract."

"That's right. I'm a big star with tens of millions of fans. If I were to do live-streaming e-commerce, what would my fans think of me?"

Chang Fu sneered, "The three of you still have the nerve to negotiate? The company has invested a lot of resources in you over the past two years, haven't you? Ask yourselves honestly, have you brought any profit to the company?"

Whether the company makes money or not is your business; we're not going to become internet celebrities.

The three formed an alliance to protest Chang Fu's decision, since the company's contract didn't have many restrictions and they could leave whenever they wanted.

With their current fame, they can go anywhere!

"Fine, you probably think you're all grown up now. I, Chang Fu, am making this clear: if any company dares to hire you after you step out of my door, then you're going against me, Chang Fu!"

Hmph... If Chen Pingsheng said that, they definitely wouldn't dare to refute it.

After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

Back in the day, the methods that Boss Chen used to deal with Huayi Brothers made the entire entertainment industry tremble.

It's a pity that Boss Chen hasn't visited Tencent Entertainment's headquarters in a long time.

Otherwise, the three of them certainly wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

But even Boss Chen didn't threaten them, so what gives Chang Fu the right?

Do you really think they can't find a few wealthy women to back them up?

Li Zifeng snorted and left; he had the confidence to do so.

The other two are clearly the same.

All I can say is that these three have become a bit arrogant.

If Chang Fu didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he really wouldn't be able to subdue these people.

After they left, he picked up the phone and called Chen Pingsheng with a smile.

"Old Chen, I was just bragging a little!"

Chen Pingsheng asked, "What are you bragging about now?"

"Several big stars didn't listen to me. I threatened them a few times, and they insisted on terminating their contracts with the company!"

"Oh, what are you threatening them with?"

"If they leave through this gate, they'll be going against me, Changfu, and no one will dare to take them in."

"Heh, that's pretty domineering of you."

"Isn't that because you're here?"

Chang Fu asked him, "Those guys must have found some backers, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come together. Old Chen, you can't let me lose face!"

"Alright, it's nothing. I'll give you a number. Call him, and he'll give you confidence."

Chen Pingsheng didn't even ask those people about their backers. Although Chang Fu had some tricks up his sleeve, Tengying Entertainment was, after all, a place teeming with celebrities.

Bai Xin's methods used to be too gentle, which caused many people to become extremely arrogant.

He's busy with all sorts of things and simply doesn't have time to keep track of those celebrities every day.

Over time, some people began to overlook his existence.

Chen Pingsheng sent Chang Fu a number, and Chang Fu dialed the number.

The person across the street asked him to meet at the coffee shop downstairs.

He was acting mysteriously, wearing a mask and a big hat, his whole body completely covered up.

He is a top-notch secret agent and manages a team of dozens of agents.

He only serves one person, Chen Pingsheng.

After hearing Chang Fu's purpose, he decisively took out some photos from his bag.

It's not a good photo.

These are videos of celebrities engaging in prostitution, tax evasion, and various forms of infidelity. How these top-secret photos were taken will certainly not be explained.

Chang Fu didn't need to hear the details; he just grinned crookedly, and everyone called him a hooligan.

That's because they don't understand Old Chen's true methods.

These so-called celebrities probably never dreamed that Old Chen actually kept a professional team of secret agents.

These people's job is to collect dirt on celebrities throughout the entertainment industry.

They have the most collections of their own artists.

With these things in hand, Changfu felt confident.

He was certain that the moment these three left Tencent Entertainment, he would expose and blacklist them.

Old Chen really was prepared.

Fine... these people are a good example for him to make an example of.

Chang Fu sneered inwardly. These few popular celebrities thought they could compete with Old Chen just because they found a rich woman.

That's like a toad trying to swallow the sky—completely overestimating its own abilities.

Absolutely different!
Chang Fu remained calm and collected. Any major reform implemented by a company will inevitably affect the interests of some people.

Regardless of their past relationships, these people will quickly unite for new interests and jointly resist the group's reforms.

If Chang Fu doesn't teach them a lesson, who will listen to him in the future?

Two days later, Li Zifeng successfully interpreted the divination results for the two of them.

Tencent Entertainment has two most attractive features, one of which is its artist revenue sharing model.

Another aspect is the signing of contracts; there are no restrictions whatsoever.

It is because of these two points that Tencent Entertainment has been able to quickly occupy half of the entertainment industry in just a few years.

A large number of A-list celebrities came to visit.

This is why it quickly built a market value of over 100 billion.

He quickly rose to become a super dominant force in the entertainment industry.

Such a sound strategy would undoubtedly be extremely advantageous when it was first established and the country was just beginning to be conquered.

Once the group stabilizes, these two factors will greatly hinder the company's progress and even directly affect the annual financial statements.

Whether it's Tong Zhelan, Shen Nanpeng, or the two Mas who invested in Tencent Entertainment.

They had all reminded Chen Pingsheng of this.

He himself knew it, but he just hadn't found the right opportunity to change it.

This is why Tencent Entertainment's revenue has been declining year by year for the past three years.

Many people, once trained, run off to become their own bosses by clinging to powerful figures.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't go back on his promise, but Chang Fu could.

He is the most suitable person to be the one to wield the knife.

Two more days passed, and Li Zifeng found a new boss, a wealthy woman who was quite well-known in Shanghai.

She lost her husband years ago and inherited a large sum of money.

Perhaps because she could only date older men when she was young, now that she's fifty and considered an older woman, she wants to date younger men.

Experience the taste of love again.

According to her plan, as long as Li Zifeng comes, she will first give him 100 million yuan to start a film and television company.

Then invest several hundred million to produce a big movie, making him a top-tier star.

Having a wealthy woman backing them up is what gives them the confidence to leave Tencent Entertainment directly.

It's a pity they're still celebrating their victory here.

Chang Fu over there has already hired someone to expose his dirty secrets.

The rich woman woke up the next day to a deluge of negative information about her.

It wasn't her own, but Li Zifeng, whom she was just about to promote.

The rich woman was furious.

As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Tengying Entertainment is completely disregarding her!
