Chapter 137 A market worth hundreds of billions, easy to grasp

"Boss, there is Mr. Ding Mo downstairs looking for you."

Fang Ying called and asked for instructions.

It is true that Chen Heyu had told her before to take this person directly to the office when he arrived, but many years of work experience told her that there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Bring it here."

Chen Heyu replied.

Two minutes later, Fang Ying knocked on the door and brought in a middle-aged man.

He is in his thirties, with short hair, dark complexion, thin but tall figure, inverted triangular narrow eyes, and a faint look of fierceness.

"You go out first."

Chen Heyu waved his hand and asked Fang Ying to leave first.

After the girl at the front desk closed the door, he went up and asked, "Can you drive?"

"Learned it in the army."

Ding Mo nodded, cherishing words like gold.

Talking less is a basic requirement for a driver.

"Do you regret it?"

Chen Heyu asked unexpectedly, wanting to see his reaction.

Ding Mo's expression dimmed, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly replied: "It's all in the past. I can't say whether I regret it or not."

What happened back then ruined his life, and he must have regrets, but if time were reversed, he would most likely make the same choice.

But, the price is too high.

Chen Heyu nodded slightly, quite satisfied. He didn't want a great saint to cause trouble for him all day long.

"Stay and be a driver for me. Do you have any salary requirements?"

He smiled and said that he agreed to accept Ding Mo.

"You can give it to me as you see fit."

There was a hint of fluctuation in Ding Mo's eyes. Having a job was very important to him.

After being separated from society for five years, he felt unfamiliar with the changes outside.

"How much was your previous salary?"

Chen Heyu asked, after all, he was introduced by Wu Jin and was Wu Qingsong's apprentice, so the relationship must be repaid.

"8,000 per month, plus some subsidies."

Ding Mo said calmly, those experiences in the army seemed to have happened in a previous life.

"In five years, inflation will not be small. I will give you 15,000 yuan and two months of bonus at the end of the year."

Chen Heyu said lightly that this salary was considered high for hiring a driver in 2014, but considering that the driver could also play the role of a bodyguard, 15,000 was just right.

"Thank you boss, when can I go to work?"

Ding Mo took the initiative to ask questions for the first time.

"Is there a place to stay in Shanghai?"

Chen Heyu asked rhetorically.

"No."

Ding Mo shook his head.

After hearing this, Chen Heyu picked up the landline on his desk and called Fang Ying: "Do me a favor, are you a local in Shanghai? Help your new colleague find a place to live, and then take him to change clothes."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, is this Mr. Ding just now?"

Fang Ying recalled Ding Mo's appearance, wearing a gray shirt and an olive green jacket. His attire was indeed a bit old-fashioned.

"Well, all expenses will be reimbursed by the company, and I will give you a day off tomorrow as a reward for you."

Chen Heyu replied.

"Thank you Mr. Chen."

Fang Ying smiled and hung up the phone.

"Go downstairs to find Fang Ying and make arrangements for work tomorrow."

Chen Heyu said to Ding Mo.

"Boss, don't you need to show anything?"

Ding Mo said in surprise that before coming here, he had practiced grappling and Bajiquan for several days. Unexpectedly, Chen Heyu didn't even ask.

"I can trust Mr. Wu's apprentice."

Chen Heyu chuckled and explained that all he wanted was a driver who could drive. With his physical and mental strength, no matter how strong Ding Mo was, he was no match for him.

Ding Mo walked out with his head lowered and looked for Fang Ying feeling a little disappointed.

"Let's go, Mr. Chen asked me to take you to change your outfit, and then help you rent a house."

Fang Ying picked up her donkey brand bag and pulled Ding Mo out of the hall.

Nannan's living conditions in Shanghai are excellent and there is no shortage of cars and houses. Most of the money she earns is used to buy bags, travel and please herself.

Ding Mo followed her obediently.

Fang Ying drove her scooter to a nearby shopping mall and helped him choose two suits, and then bought two sets of casual and outdoor wear.

Seeing Ding Mo's confusion, she smiled and said: "Boss doesn't like to wear formal clothes. You can just wear casual clothes. Your suit will only come in handy when attending cocktail parties."

He forced a smile to express his gratitude.

"The boss has a gentle personality and rarely loses his temper. Your job is really enviable. I even want to be his driver."

Fang Ying chatted casually.

After shopping around the mall, I found him a one-bedroom house near the company, and then I completed the task. There were still three hours before I got off work.

"Invite a little sister to go shopping."

Fang Ying thought with satisfaction.

So he turned to Ding Mo and said, "Then I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

"Thank you, see you tomorrow."

Ding Mo replied blankly. After seeing her walk away, he returned to the house and started cleaning.

…

the next day.

When Chen Heyu walked out of the community, Ding Mo leaned against the car and waited calmly.

"Okay, Lao Mo, I heard from Brother Jin that you are a special forces soldier and you are indeed very capable."

He was slightly surprised and quickly calmed down. He didn't ask how Ding Mo drove the company car and waited for him downstairs.

"Boss, do you want to go to the company now?"

Ding Mo asked.

"Go to Shengda Literature Headquarters, the address is..."

Chen Heyu was worried that he was not familiar with the route to Shanghai and planned to tell him which way to go.

"Boss, I know. It's thirty minutes away by taking the Inner Ring Elevated Highway."

Ding Mo replied, taking out a smartphone at the same time to show that he was very good at this thing.

For this job, he has to rely on his own ability and does not need others to accommodate him or pity him.

“Very professional.”

Chen Heyu smiled and said no more. Ding Mo was more reliable than he thought, and the rest needed to be observed slowly.

at this time.

The staff of Shengda Literature Headquarters, especially the Singularity Chinese website, all gathered together and talked about it.

"Brother Qiao wants to sell us?"

"Bah, don't say it in such a bad way, it's different for whoever you do it with!"

"What background does the new boss have? He is willing to spend 3.2 billion. I can't save all this money from the beginning of Pangu to the 22nd century."

"I have an elder brother above me. It is said that the new boss is someone from the entertainment industry. Pay attention. It is said that the new boss is from the entertainment industry."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. It's obviously Shanhai Capital and it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry."

"..."

"Ahem, stop talking nonsense. The big boss will come to the company to inspect today. Don't cause trouble for yourself."

The department boss reminded.

Seeing this, everyone shut up, sat back at their workstations, opened the TT group chat, and started gossiping again.

"Boss, after winning Shengda Literature, do you need to adjust the company's business direction or reorganize the management?"

Zhou Xiaoyu asked for instructions.

Lao Zhou's strategy can help him quickly control this unicorn in the field of online literature.

Acquiring a company does not end with the completion of the equity change. It also requires sufficient financial resources, management capabilities and experience to achieve perfect control over the company's business, finance and human resources through complex and tedious operations.

Only when we reach this point can we truly complete the acquisition.

"Just take care of it and leave professional matters to professionals. Who is the person in charge of Shengda now?"

Chen Heyu asked.

"The CEO is Wu Zhenghui."

Zhou Xiaoyu replied.

"Don't move for now, let's see how he behaves."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said to Lao Zhou that it would not be a wise move to change generals as soon as he took over Shengda Literature.

It is easy to cause turmoil.

The two of them walked side by side towards the park and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, this is Wu Zhenghui. Sorry, I'm a little late."

Before walking twenty meters, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes trotted over. He had round cheeks, a tall body, and a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wu, you're welcome. We've just arrived. Let's go to the company first."

Zhou Xiaoyu stepped forward to talk and politely replied.

Wu Zhenghui glanced at Chen Heyu, this must be the new boss, he is really young.

"Okay, please."

Wu Zhenghui led the way, introducing the company's organizational structure, number of personnel, and last year's financial statements.

"Mr. Chen, do we need to go upstairs first and have a management meeting?"

Wu Zhenghui carefully sought his opinion.

"Wait a minute, I want to meet an old friend."

Chen Heyu smiled and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Jiuweihu: "Are you at work today? I'm here to visit the company and come out for an interview soon."

"Damn it, aren't you in the entertainment industry? You've been away from it for the past two years. Do you want to go back to Singularity and start a new book?"

The nine-tailed fox replied instantly.

At the beginning, Chen Heyu's book "Shading the Sky" was updated with 6 million words a year and made more than 10 million. Now he still has more than 100,000 monthly royalties.

He also received a large commission for this masterpiece. After two years of hard work, he was promoted from editor-in-chief to editor-in-chief.

"I'm downstairs."

Chen Heyu replied that the two would chat occasionally, and the other party kept urging him to open a new book and pretend to be poor with a sack, but he declined.

The group of people soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor, where the nine-tailed fox had just walked out of the elevator.

Seeing Wu Zhenghui's group of people, he hesitated for a few seconds, then stood aside and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Wu."

Wu Zhenghui nodded. He was somewhat impressed by the people on the editorial team.

The nine-tailed fox stood in front of the gate and murmured: "Didn't I just say that we have arrived? Is this kid deceiving me?"

After Chen Heyu heard this, he stopped, walked away from Wu Zhenghui and Zhou Xiaoyu, slowly walked over, and said with a look of disgust: "Nine-tailed fox? Are you a bastard?"

"Uh, are you a human type code machine?"

The nine-tailed fox was surprised. He never expected that the human-shaped code machine was actually the young man in front of him.

He just saw Wu Zhenghui accompanying him, full of caution and humility.

"It's time to change your lenses. Didn't I post my beautiful photos to the author group?"

Chen Heyu rolled his eyes at him.

"Um...it's changed too much, sorry."

The Nine-Tailed Fox was a little embarrassed. After chatting online for so long, he really didn’t recognize Chen Heyu. The previous photos of Chen Heyu still looked young and innocent three years ago.

Now he is wearing a tailored suit, with a strong aura in every move he makes, and there are two followers behind him.

He usually reads a lot of novels, and in an instant he came up with a scene about a chaebol young man writing a book out of boredom.

"Mr. Chen, do you know him?"

Seeing the two people chatting, Wu Zhenghui asked.

"Old friend, remember to treat me to dinner at noon later. The promise you made before is still valid."

Chen Heyu nodded and then asked the nine-tailed fox.

"My salary is not high, and I still want to save money to buy a house and marry a wife. The most I can do is treat you to stay in Xiangyuan."

The nine-tailed fox said happily.

"Okay, we'll talk later."

Chen Heyu patted him on the shoulder and followed Wu Zhenghui into the elevator.

"Holy crap, is this guy really the second generation of a chaebol?"

The nine-tailed fox was puzzled. It was the first time in his life that he had met such a big person. He laughed excitedly and took out his mobile phone to call a nearby restaurant and book a private room in advance.

Then, he walked upstairs alone.

The editor in the same group asked curiously: "Didn't you go to pick up the author? Where is the person?"

"I was picked up by Mr. Wu."

He replied subconsciously.

"!!!"

"Is your author the new boss?"

"How is that possible!"

"Kyuubi must have been tricked by the author, hahaha."

Jiuweihu listened to the discussions of his colleagues. Today the new boss came to inspect, and Chen Heyu was standing next to Mr. Wu again.

"No way?"

He immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a TT message to Chen Heyu for confirmation.

…

In a large conference room by the window on the seventh floor, all the company's management were gathered.

The heads of various Shengda Literature websites, the editorial center, R&D department, business development department, operations and promotion center, administrative personnel and financial center department directors were all sitting in their seats.

Chen Heyu sat calmly in the main seat, flanked by Wu Zhenghui and Zhou Xiaoyu on his left and right sides.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Chen Heyu, the boss of Shanhai Film and Television and Shanhai Capital. The reason why I acquired Shengda Literature was not a whim, nor did I intend to resell it again after the valuation increased.

Internet writing is the original form of film and television dramas, with unlimited imagination and possibilities. "The Ultimate Butler" released this year is a work of Shanhai Film and Television. In the future, I will turn more novels into animations and films. This cake will only become more and more popular.

The bigger.”

He said slowly.

"I will continue to leave the company's specific operations to Mr. Wu for management. You don't have to worry about changes in positions. But my operating strategy is to promote those who are capable and to remove those who are mediocre. I hope everyone will remember this sentence.

Let’s start with the Finance Department, reporting on last year’s performance and future plans.”

Chen Heyu added, then leaned back in his chair, preparing to understand Shengda's actual operations and become familiar with it from the data level.

"Mr. Chen, I am Financial Director Zhao Zhong. In 2013, Shengda Literature's total revenue was 466 million, of which 97% came from online reading revenue and 3% came from copyright operations..."

Zhao Zhong turned on the screencast and began to report.

It’s unimaginable that the biggest internet giant with a valuation of several billion could have less revenue per year than Shanhai Film and Television earns from one movie.

Moreover, this is only revenue, and the net profit is only a pitiful less than 30 million.

"Is the perfect attendance reward still 600?"

Chen Heyu interjected and asked.

When he was serializing "Shading the Sky" before, he remembered this number and held it for a while.

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Zhao Chong replied.

"Take out 10 million to increase perfect attendance rewards. We need to attract more original authors so that excellent works can emerge."

Chen Heyu ordered.

He doesn't like this at all, so he might as well use it to strengthen the author's welfare system.

"Mr. Chen, I understand. I will come up with a new plan next week."

Wu Zhenghui replied that the first thing a boss does when he takes office must be done beautifully and demonstrate his abilities.

"continue."

Chen Heyu nodded.

Next, the heads of each department basically gave a report. In summary, online writing is a field that does not make much money and is very difficult.

Top masters like Chen Heyu, who haven't written books for several years, still have a lot of royalties every month, while those at the bottom can't even get perfect attendance.

The online writing industry without Penguin is still a miserable place.

"That's it for today."

Chen Heyu looked at the time and saw that it was 11:40, lunch time, so he ended the meeting.

"Lao Zhou, help me keep an eye on Shengda."

Chen Heyu lowered his voice and said.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Zhou Xiaoyu agreed.

"Mr. Wu, we need to pay attention to the copyright operation. The IP operation department of Shanhai Film and Television is also a brother department. We will communicate with Lin Shiwei in the future to explore the potential of big IP."

Chen Heyu turned around and explained to Wu Zhenghui again.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen."

Wu Zhenghui responded quickly.

In the editorial center on the third floor, the gossip went viral. They finally knew what the new boss looked like, and some even recognized Chen Heyu.

"The new boss is actually the boss of Shanhai Film and Television?"

"Does this mean that there will be more novels made into movies in the future?"

"It is said that Shanhai Film and Television is already the number one private film company, with net profits of several billion last year."

"..."

The nine-tailed fox looked at the message from Chen Heyu on TT: "Guess."

This is a fart guess, it’s an obvious fact.

Inviting your boss to dinner is so exciting, what should we talk about later? Should you hug his lap and beg for a promotion and a raise in salary?

No, no, this is too shameful.

He opened the web page, entered the URL, and asked a question, "The new boss is actually a netizen. I will invite him to dinner later. What topics should we talk about?"

In these days and months, the mobile terminal has not yet exploded. Everyone likes to find their presence in forums and Q&A websites, and people will reply quickly.

"What is the topic of the question? If your boss is a contractor, I suggest you talk about washing your hair and soaking your feet. All men will understand."

"It is not recommended that you open your mouth, because the boss will give you a picture, and you will have to eat it if you open your mouth."

There was also a clever one who made the nine-tailed fox’s teeth itch with anger.

"Of course I'll kneel down and lick you. I'll get a promotion and a salary increase at your fingertips in the future."

This is good.

The nine-tailed fox commented with a smile and continued to refresh the page until the phone vibrated and found a new message from Chen Heyu.

He immediately closed the computer and walked downstairs.

"Hi, Ha Yu."

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Chen Heyu waiting at the door, so he quickly stepped forward and greeted him.

"I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name."

Chen Heyu took a high look at the other person and knew who he was. He could still keep a relaxed attitude and go to the appointment. He was an interesting person.

"Tao Cheng, honest Cheng."

Tao Cheng replied calmly, feeling really panicked.

"Let's go, you're treating me to a treat anyway, where are you going?"

Chen Heyu has an excellent tradition of eating for free and is determined to have a free meal.

"It's a nearby shopping mall. We usually go there for work lunches. It only takes ten minutes to walk."

Tao Cheng said.

"Drive, otherwise it will be a waste of time."

Chen Heyu helped him decide and called Ding Mo: "Old Mo, bring the car over."

A minute later, an extra-long Maybach stopped in front of the gate.

"Hurry up, why are you hanging around?"

Chen Heyu got on the bus first. Seeing that Tao Cheng was still in a daze, he urged him.

"Oh, right away."

Tao Cheng got into the car, and the luxurious leather seats were especially soft. At this moment, he came out of his excitement.

There were some familiar colleagues in the lobby on the first floor who saw him getting into a Maybach.

"Kyuubi, tell me honestly, are you dating a rich woman?"

"Don't deny it, Lao Ye and I both saw it."

Tao Cheng took out his mobile phone. The group chat was filled with inquiries from his colleagues. He glanced at Chen Heyu and then replied: "She's not a rich woman, she's a handsome guy."

"Hey~ Kyuubi, you turn out to be so good at talking. People should not be judged by their appearance."

Tao Cheng almost spat out his old blood, and smiled helplessly: "Stop being so careless, this is the new boss, be careful to fire you."

"Nani!?"

"What happened? You and the new boss actually know each other?"

Tao Cheng was slightly complacent and ignored his colleagues. He put down his cell phone and chatted with Chen Heyu about the development of online articles.

He was familiar with these contents and was professional. Neither of them noticed the passage of time, and the car parked in the basement of the shopping mall.

Fish head with chopped pepper, stir-fried pork, stinky tofu... they are all classic Hunan dishes. Chen Heyu hugged Tao Cheng who still wanted to order: "That's almost enough. Any more is a waste."

"I thought a rich man like you would have dozens of dishes for a meal."

Tao Cheng had the courage to make fun of him.

"You think of me as Lafayette. I'm not that arrogant."

Chen Heyu smiled and only discussed Internet articles, avoiding other issues.

For example, last year’s explosion of new books, those newcomers showing their talents...

Tao Cheng understood that Chen Heyu was unwilling to discuss topics such as wealth and status, and simply regarded him as a well-connected netizen.

Immediately, he put aside other thoughts and started chatting happily.

After eating the meal for more than an hour, Chen Heyu patted his belly and said, "It tastes good. I will come again next time."

"No need, if I do it a few more times, I'll have to drink the northwest wind."

Tao Cheng's face was filled with pain.

After getting in the car, Chen Haoyu asked Lao Mo to drive back to Shengda Literature and send Tao Cheng back to the company before returning to Shanhai Film and Television.

Looking at Maybach's retreating back, Tao Cheng reacted suddenly: "Damn, why did you forget to hug your thighs?"

Back at the company, Chen Heyu called Lin Shiwei over and told him to take Zhang Peng from the IP department to Shengda to improve the cooperation plan next time.

The quasi-hundred-billion-dollar market for online articles is also included.

Gentlemen, please vote and support. By the way, please py
