This director lacks vision.

Chapter 258 Inviting Naza to Ring the Bell

The crew of Lost in Thailand was prepared for netizens' inquiries about Lisa's information.

At Jiang Yifeng's instruction, the production team had already contaminated the database in advance.

Netizens searched for information about this woman named Lisa on foreign websites and found that the information was inconsistent.

Some say she is a newly debuted actress in Thailand, signed with BOC, the largest entertainment group in the country.

Some say she was a Miss Thailand winner and is very popular locally.

There are also reports that she is a ladyboy and the winner of the Pattaya ladyboy beauty pageant.

There is some evidence for each of the various claims, but the one that is generally accepted is the one that is "a newly debuted actress".

Because the official website of BOC has a profile of actress Lisa, which clearly introduces Lisa's situation.

The company's official website has the information, and most netizens choose to trust the official website.

They believe that other claims are fake news.

No one would have guessed that Jiang Yifeng, in order to maintain secrecy, had contacted BOC in advance and asked them to upload a dubious document.

It wasn't that Jiang Yifeng wanted to keep Wang Sicong's affair with the transvestite a secret, but rather that he wanted to maintain the mystery, pique everyone's curiosity, and attract more people to see the movie.

After all, the appeal diminishes if the mystery is revealed prematurely.

Appropriate secrecy can actually boost a film's box office performance.

Wang Sicong was initially confused and resistant to the "Cong-style love talk," but after seeing the whole internet playing with this meme, although most people were mocking and teasing him, some people found it interesting and supported Wang Sicong's idea.

He gradually accepted it and became more proactive.

She even posted a Weibo post herself.

"Since everyone likes 'Onion-Style' love talk so much, I hereby announce that we will hold an 'Onion-Style' love talk contest, and the top 10 love talk will be awarded 10 yuan in cash to each person!"

Wang Sicong's Weibo post immediately garnered widespread support.

His reputation improved significantly all of a sudden.

People think Wang Sicong is a good person. His criticisms are just his straightforward personality. He doesn't get angry when teased and can even take the initiative to fit in. He has a great sense of character and magnanimity.

Onion-style sweet talk has gradually shed its negative label and become neutral or even benevolent.

It has to be said that Wang Sicong learned a lot from Jiang Yifeng.

The tricks of the internet are getting more and more sophisticated.

After editing Wang Sicong's video, Jiang Yifeng recorded two more programs before concluding the promotional work for Lost in Thailand.

The subsequent publicity was left to Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, and other leading actors, while Jiang Yifeng began preparing for the company's IPO.

At 9:12 AM on December 10th, Jiang Yifeng convened a meeting at the company, which was attended by the company's senior management team and celebrity artist team.

"Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the company's revenue this year is still very good. Currently, the company's undistributed profits amount to 3.87 million yuan."

Before going public, the company decided to distribute profits through a dividend payout.

The profit-sharing plan has been drafted. Please circulate it around and review it. If you have any questions, please raise them on the spot.

Fengxing Media is truly making a lot of money, from film and television revenue, variety show revenue, artist management income, and other revenue from various copyrights and other projects.

Before the company went public, Jiang Yifeng decided to distribute dividends.

This is also normal practice for many wealthy companies.

After all, shares will be diluted after listing, and dividend income will decrease.

Take Jiang Yifeng himself as an example. He currently holds 61% of the shares in Fengxing Media. If dividends are distributed, he could easily receive 70% of the total, including both share dividends and position dividends.

However, after the company went public, his shareholding was only 45.8%, and the process of distributing dividends became more complicated, resulting in less money being received.

After receiving the profit-sharing plan, everyone looked down at it.

The executives watched very carefully, while the celebrities were just putting on an act.

Whether it's Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, or even Nazha and Dilraba, none of them understand the profit-sharing rules.

They can only look at numbers.

Nazar found his name directly, along with the amount—13772034 yuan.

She counted it twice before realizing it really was an eight-figure sum; she received a dividend of 1377 million.

After confirming the amount, Naza was so excited that she almost shouted out with joy!
This was the largest sum of cash she had ever seen!

Even after taxes, the net amount is still over ten million.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the 101 girl group is very popular now, with their albums selling like hotcakes and them getting a lot of commercial performances and endorsements.

However, the company's marketing and promotional investments are also substantial, and the costs in all aspects are not low. In addition, since they are all new contracts, the company takes a high percentage of the profits, so they don't actually earn much money.

After deducting various taxes and fees, the annual take-home pay is only a few million.

That's quite a lot, considering there are seven of them.

This is why many girl groups and even bands in China don't last long; once they become famous, they all want to go solo.

Earning money by going solo is all yours; you don't have to share it with the rest of the team.

The situation is the same at the company.

After the new season of 101 begins the year after next, and a new group is formed.

Then Zha and the others need to consider going solo without disbanding.

Once they've built up enough popularity, they can work solo, or they can reunite for events.

This is best for both the company and the individual, maximizing efficiency.

Naza's annual income isn't extravagant; she's not like Jing Tian, ​​and her family's financial situation can only be considered moderately well-off.

Although she had never lacked money since following Jiang Yifeng, the sudden addition of tens of millions of yuan in cash to her account, which she could freely dispose of, naturally made Naza ecstatic.

Moreover, she noticed that Dilraba and Zhang Tianai's dividends were only a little over one million each.

They only have company stock options, and their dividend payout ratio is low.

As for Liu Yifei, who joined the company last, she only received a few tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses.

Seeing this, Naza puffed out her chest and rediscovered the sense of superiority that the landlady possessed.

Jiang Yifeng's profit-sharing method was discussed internally and combined equity, position, and profit contribution, which is generally fair.

Since no one had any objections, we proceeded with the plan.

After this dividend distribution, Jiang Yifeng's personal account received an additional 2 million yuan in cash.

His current personal account funds are mainly divided into two parts.

One part is a domestic account, with a total amount exceeding 5 million yuan. This mainly consists of dividends and bonuses from Sohu Group and Fengxing Media, as well as film and television director salaries and dividends, plus the operation of some song copyrights, etc.
Jiang Yifeng used some of these funds to invest in stocks and buy several properties. Another portion was held in overseas accounts, primarily containing royalties from the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy; the after-tax amount already received so far is 3700 million US dollars.

Jiang Yifeng contributed 1000 million US dollars to establish Fengling Capital with Wen Lingfeng, specializing in angel investment. They had already invested in Kuaishou.

Zhang Yiming is still waiting. He is currently working at 9Fang.com, but he has just started planning to start his own business and hasn't put it into action yet.

The remaining US dollars are all invested in US stocks, with a recent large position in Netflix.

Naza was very excited after the company distributed dividends.

After returning home, she began planning how to spend the money.

Jiang Yifeng was very successful in training Nazha.

Naza trusted Jiang Yifeng completely and felt no unease at all, so she wanted to spend her money as soon as she had it and wasn't worried about not having money in the future.

"Uncle, do you think I should buy an apartment for my sister in Yanjing, and another one for my parents?"

Thinking of this, Naza excitedly opened the real estate app and searched for house information.

She only looked at good houses; she casually looked at two, both costing over 500 million.

If you buy two houses outright, 1000 million won't be enough...

That's why rich people always feel they're not rich enough, because in some ways, money really doesn't last long.

Fortunately, Nazar had a good attitude. She said, "I'll just help my sister pay the down payment, and she can pay the loan herself."

Buy my parents a small apartment, just enough for them to stay over occasionally.

With the remaining money, I want to buy a cool sports car!

Liu Yifei and Jing Tian both own sports cars, which made Nazha very envious.

She was too embarrassed to ask Jiang Yifeng for it before, but now that she has the money, she wants to buy it.

Jiang Yifeng patted her head and said, "Sure, you should be more outgoing when you're young. Just be happy. If you need more money, just let me know."

Encouraged by Jiang Yifeng, Nazha was even happier. She kissed Jiang Yifeng on the cheek and said, "Uncle, you understand me the best!"

Jiang Yifeng was indeed very fond of Nazar, not only because he liked her figure and looks, but also because he liked her silly personality.

This girl is always boisterous and loud, which brings a lot of simple joy to Jiang Yifeng, who is rather thoughtful.

"Do you want to go to the IPO bell-ringing ceremony?"

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's question, Naza was overjoyed and asked to confirm, "Can I really go?"

"Of course you can. You're the boss's wife, so of course you should be there when the company goes public."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nazaye jumped up with a shout.

The ripples on the bear's mouth showed the woman's happiness and excitement.

She said, "Of course I want to go, but you said that as a girl group idol, you must strictly prohibit any scandals."

"If I ring the bell, wouldn't that reveal my identity as the proprietress? Won't that cause trouble?"

Naza's biggest regret right now is that she can't have a romantic relationship with Jiang Yifeng or show affection in public.

That's why she tearfully begged Jiang Yifeng to play the male lead in "Youth With You," wanting to show off their affection in the drama.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "No, we can just change the wording. For example, you can say you are the captain of the 101 girl group and you are representing the group to ring the bell."

Hearing this, Naza was a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, being able to ring the bell is already a huge surprise.

She smiled and said, "Uncle, I called Dilraba over."

"Is it Reba? What about Tian Ai?"

"Tonight is the battlefield for the two beauties of the Western Regions, and we've learned a new skill."

"What skill?"

"Alternating between hot and cold!"

Jiang Yifeng observed that Nazha's ability to control his expressions had improved significantly; his face was icy cold.

Naza was very cold, while Reba was very hot. The two women were like the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang, truly alternating between hot and cold, giving people an extreme sense of contrast.

……

After the final dividend distribution, Fengxing Media's IPO is now in its final countdown.

Jiang Yifeng was so busy with the IPO that he didn't even attend the premiere of Lost in Thailand.

On December 21, Fengxing Media was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the auspicious stock code "01988".

The company has a total share capital of 19.8 billion shares, and publicly issued 4.95 million shares at an issue price of 15.15 yuan per share, raising 75 billion yuan.

After the market opened, the stock price soared, reaching a high of 21 yuan, a maximum increase of nearly 40%, before gradually falling back.

At the close of trading, the company's stock price was 19.45 yuan, a 28.4% increase on the first day of listing, with a total market capitalization of 385 billion yuan.

Jiang Yifeng's net worth skyrocketed to nearly 200 billion yuan, reaching the level of figures like Shi Yuzhu and Pan Shiyi, and ranking around 50th on the list of those who "slaughter pigs".

It's worth mentioning that Sohu Video will be listed on Nasdaq in two months, at which time Jiang Yifeng's net worth will increase further.

Moreover, if Lost in Thailand becomes a box office hit after its release, Fengxing Media's stock price will definitely rise further.

Jiang Yifeng's inflated net worth is truly unstoppable.

Fengxing Media's IPO immediately became a hot news topic in China.

"A genius entrepreneur creates a wealth myth; Jiang Yifeng is the Chinese version of Zuckerberg!"

"Jiang Yifeng, a 25-year-old billionaire, has achieved a business legend!"

"A list of the most powerful post-80s generation: Jiang Yifeng and Zuckerberg would have to give way in front of him."

"Fengxing Media's market value is approaching 400 billion yuan, creating a group of billionaires!"

"China's No. 5 entertainment company truly deserves its title; Fengxing Media's market value is five times that of Huayi."

"Gao Yuanyuan initially purchased one million shares, which are now worth 5 million yuan!"

"Dapeng: Jiang Yifeng is my idol, and I will never leave Fengxing Media in my life."

"Fengxing Media's market analysis: The box office performance of Lost in Thailand is the most crucial factor!"

Related news is constantly emerging, the media is publishing it, and the audience loves to watch it.

With the listing of Fengxing Media, Jiang Yifeng's new film, Lost in Thailand, has also gained even more attention.

Under these circumstances, Lost in Thailand finally began its nationwide theatrical release.
