Huayu: The Big Players Behind the Scenes

Just in time for the end of the year,

This year, Company 91 didn't hold an annual meeting, but the bonuses were even higher than last year. The company has achieved a series of victories this year, which is indeed inseparable from the hard work of the employees.

Moreover, due to the post-Chinese New Year start date for "The Martian," most employees will not be able to take a holiday to go home for the New Year.

So instead of doing all that nonsense, it's more practical to just give out money directly. Zhuang Huai'an will never keep this honor to himself!

For company employees who have been basking in the sunshine of their own bosses for years, the word "loyalty" is something they've grown tired of saying; they can only express their feelings by raising their right hand.

At the end of the month, Zhuang Huai'an appeared on CCTV's financial news again.

The reason was that the Beijing tax authorities issued a list of outstanding taxpayers for the year, and Company 91 ranked first among small and medium-sized private enterprises in Haiding District with a tax payment of 1.4 million RMB!

Madou Media also performed strongly, ranking ninth with 4100 million.

CCTV praised Zhuang Huai'an's actions as a model for entrepreneurs, and even the Daily News personally commended him.

In his column, renowned financial expert Alang calculated that if calculated according to the mainland's business tax, 91 Company's annual operating revenue would be 11.73 billion RMB.

Even after deducting taxes, the net income exceeds one billion yuan, comparable to the total box office revenue of mainland cinemas in 2004!

"Please note that what I just mentioned only refers to Mr. Zhuang Huai'an's income in China; it does not include MGM Studios in Hollywood."

Ah Lang spoke eloquently to the camera.

"Breaking news: Three days ago, MGM Studios owner Kirk sold another 5% of his shares to Mr. Zhuang for $1. Combined with his own 15% stake and the market value of MGM Studios, Mr. Zhuang's net worth has now reached $16 billion."

If converted to RMB, it's 128 billion. This is a legendary story of a 21-year-old who started from scratch and became a billionaire through the film industry!

Additionally, I learned through a friend that Tencent, the rising star in the internet industry, recently added a new board member named Zhuang Huai'an, holding 18% of the shares. I won't go into details; I'll leave that for the viewers to discover. That's all for this episode, goodbye!

The news shocked the entire nation!

For a time, people all over the country were talking about it, and the bosses of major film and television companies and people working in the entertainment industry were green with envy.

The two kings became completely withdrawn. Huayi had just completed the integration of all its resources at the end of last year. The king was ambitious and wanted to make a name for himself and become a leading figure in the mainland film and television industry in order to complete the listing.

How can we compare these days?

The happiest person was none other than Lao Wang from Guangming. He was so glad that he had understood Zhuang Huai'an's signal in his eyes, which led to their friendship.

Mr. Yang, the owner of Yinghuang, was filled with regret. He was the first to board this big ship, but also the first to lose his ticket.

Chairman Huayi was quite happy, but he didn't care much. To him, the entertainment industry was just a small bubble, and no matter how much he stirred things up, it would remain the same.

Zhang Dapao muttered a few vulgar words, and when Lao Zhangzi overheard them, he unusually lost his temper with him and slammed the door as he left, leaving Zhang Dapao stunned.

Ignoring the various aspects of human existence,

The first to react was Old Man Zhuang Kaixuan.

As his son's business grew bigger and bigger, and since it required him to appear in public from time to time, coupled with the previous kidnapping incident, the father's worries intensified, and he sent two more of his cousins ​​to Beijing overnight.

"Brother Da Long, Brother Da Hu, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing his two brothers, Zhuang Huai'an was quite surprised. His father's entourage was getting bigger and bigger, and these two brothers' abilities were far beyond what the powerful brothers could match.

Zhuang Dalong and Zhuang Dahu are twin brothers. Not only do they have the same resolute face, but they also have the same buzz cut. Both of them served in the army and after retiring, they helped their father train the village's mine guards... cough, militia.

"The Great Qian Dynasty".

Zhuang Dalong called out Zhuang Huai'an's name from the family genealogy and said succinctly, "Uncle was worried that you didn't have enough manpower, so he sent us brothers to keep an eye on things."

"Alright."

Since he was already there, Zhuang Huai'an gladly accepted the situation, after all, the current circumstances were indeed... cough... um!

"Okay then, Brother Daqiang, why don't you take the two older brothers to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and get to know the people?"

Company 91 has a security department with 20 members, all of whom are retired soldiers with short haircuts. They were recruited by Wolong and Fengchu, who personally waited for them at the train station during the demobilization season.

He almost got beaten up because he was too enthusiastic.

"OK."

The Powerful Brothers were very happy. They were all brothers who had grown up together, and the addition of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers would make things a little easier for them.

God knows how much pressure they've been under these past few days; sometimes Zhang Lu doesn't even seem like a good person.

Zhang Lu: ?

Powerful Brothers: Hehe.

After the four left, Zhuang Kaixuan called and learned that the Longhu brothers had arrived, which relieved the old man.

"Son, we're already worth billions. Can't you learn from your godfather and me? Look at us when we walk around, who would guess we're rich?"

"How am I supposed to learn? By imitating your rough shirts and short jackets, with the trouser legs all uneven?"

"Sigh, Garlic Bird, with the powerful Dragon Tiger Four Brothers around, as long as you don't court death, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Zhuang Huai'an was also somewhat helpless. It was all Alang's fault. He couldn't blame CCTV either. Assisting local tax publicity was their job, but Alang was just trying to ride the wave of popularity.

We need to find a chance to take down this old bastard!

"Oh, by the way, are you going home for Chinese New Year?"

"I'm not going back, Dad. I'm going to Qinghai to film after the New Year, and the time is too tight."

"Okay, don't go back then. This whole thing you've done has caused too much trouble lately. In the city... sigh, I donated a school to get rid of them. That's all for now. I'm hanging up."

"Okay, please take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Huai'an fell into deep thought.

His father's words gave him some inspiration: since he had received it from the people, he should give it back to the people.

The charity foundation should be put on the agenda. The company should pay for everything. We shouldn't end up like Red, who is generous with other people's money while smoking cigars, driving a Ferrari, and laughing at the gambling table.

Forget it, I won't humiliate South Korea today, to avoid... sigh...

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Huai'an called his father back.

"Is there anything else?"

"Dad, could you have my aunt come over tomorrow?"

"Who? The one doing the accounting?"

"Yes, I have an idea that I need her help with."

Zhuang Kaixuan remained silent for a while on the other end of the phone before replying, "Son, about your cousin... you know, she's the pillar of our family. Although... never mind, I'll have her go tomorrow, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Dad, please tell me."

"Don't let your aunt do anything bad again. If there's a real need, I have other people here. Your aunt... we owe her."

"I know, Dad, I won't. This is a serious matter."

"Okay, good that you understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Huai'an shook his head and chuckled.

My cousin's story can be summed up in one sentence: she entered Tilanqiao Finance College at the age of 25 and graduated successfully at the age of 38.

With her around, most of the foundation's work is accomplished.

...

The following afternoon,

Zhuang Dalong led his cousin into the office.

My cousin's name is Wang Cuiying. She is the daughter of Zhuang Huai'an's grandmother's sister and Zhuang Kaixuan's cousin.

Wang Cuiying sported a classic Liu Hulan hairstyle, dressed simply, and had a kind face, showing absolutely no trace of a "goddess" aura.

"The Great Qian Dynasty".

"Oh, Aunt, please have a seat." Zhuang Huai'an was quite humble in front of his benefactor.

"My brother said you needed my help, so I rushed over overnight."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Wang Cuiying's eyes. "Tell me, do you want me to be the legal representative, or do you want us to falsify the documents...?"

"Wait for your cousin."

Zhuang Huai'an was so frightened that he quickly interrupted her, not daring to say anything more, or the book would be ruined.

"I'm asking you to be in charge of all the financial management of my company. In addition, I plan to set up a legitimate and formal charitable foundation."

Zhuang Huai'an deliberately emphasized the words "reasonable and standard".

"Just kidding, I understand. My brother already gave me instructions before I came." Wang Cuiying nodded with a smile.

You're quite mischievous?

"That's good, that's good."

Zhuang Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief and slowly explained his vision for the foundation.
