Chapter 390: Buying some shares of Enlight Media and incidentally placing my sister on the board of
"I want to buy some shares in a film and television company, and my sister will hold the shares for me."
"A film and television company?" Yang Ying turned her head slightly and glanced at Wang Xiucheng.
She didn't see any joking expression on Wang Xiucheng's face.
"I came back this time mainly because of this matter," Wang Xiucheng said. "From now on, my sister will be her own boss."
Wang Xiucheng thought for a moment and corrected, "No, it's one of the bosses. Even if I'm not in China anymore, my sister will have someone to protect her."
Yang Ying slammed on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.
Looking at Wang Xiucheng with a puzzled expression, Yang Ying finally asked after a long while, "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Xiucheng shook his head. "It's nothing, I just don't want to see you bow down to capital."
Wang Xiucheng grabbed Yang Ying's hand: "Remember, from now on, you yourself are your own asset!"
Yang Ying's eyes flickered; she knew Wang Xiucheng felt sorry for her.
After the divorce, Yang Ying had almost no resources left and couldn't find a good job.
Endorsement contracts are expiring one by one, and even if they are renewed, the endorsement fees have decreased significantly.
Although they received a considerable amount of money in the divorce settlement, they haven't had any income since, which means they're essentially living off their savings.
When she attends parties or similar events, some younger people don't respect her as much anymore; her seat is even placed behind several newcomers.
Although she appears indifferent, how could she possibly not care?
Wang Xiucheng understood Yang Ying's current situation, which is why she later took the risk of going to Paris to participate in the "Lao Shi Zi Show".
Zhang Jiani is in the same situation, and even worse off than Yang Ying.
Wang Xiucheng now needs to make plans for them.
Isn't it just money?
Wang Xiucheng has the most money right now.
Yang Ying gripped Wang Xiucheng's hand slightly tighter, "Actually, I'm fine."
"What's so nice about you?" Wang Xiucheng said irritably. "You always shoulder everything on your own without telling me anything."
Yang Ying looked at Wang Xiucheng, feeling somewhat moved.
Wang Xiucheng really understands her and comprehends her.
She presents herself as a strong woman to everyone, but only she knows how tired she is.
He stroked Wang Xiucheng's stubble with his hand, "It's so good to have met you!"
"It's so good that I met you," Wang Xiucheng corrected with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook for you in a bit. What would you like to eat?"
"you……"
……
The next morning, Wang Xiucheng left Yang Ying's house.
In the morning, Wang Xiucheng arrived at a villa in Hangzhou.
As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Xiucheng saw Ma Yun, dressed in a white training uniform, standing at the door, waiting for him.
Wang Xiucheng wasn't sure if Boss Ma had deliberately worn those training clothes.
Anyway, it was covered in brand new creases, as if it hadn't even been ironed.
The first person Wang Xiucheng met today was Ma Yun.
Before leaving the United States for Saudi Arabia, Wang Xiucheng contacted Ma Yun through Cai Congxin.
That's why we're meeting today.
If you want to invest in your dream company, Ma Yun is a great help.
When Wang Xiucheng bought Ma Yun's Gulfstream 650, he did not show up, so he did not meet Ma Yun himself.
"Welcome, Xiao Wang." Ma Yunying took a few steps forward and extended his hand.
Wang Xiucheng jogged a few steps, bent down, and shook hands with Ma Yun.
Seeing the tall Wang Xiucheng being so respectful, Ma Yun couldn't help but feel pleased.
"Let's go inside and talk." Taking Wang Xiucheng's hand, Ma Yun led him into the courtyard.
Upon entering the house, they came to a room with large floor-to-ceiling windows and sat down.
Ma Yun personally brewed a cup of Kung Fu tea and poured one for Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng took a small sip and exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"
Ma Yun was very happy and poured Wang Xiucheng another full glass.
But in reality, Wang Xiucheng knew nothing about tea.
But as a Chinese person, it's acceptable not to understand tea, but it's unacceptable not to understand human relationships and social customs.
"Old Cai said you had something to discuss with me. Tell me," Ma Yun said, taking a sip of tea and looking up.
"I want to buy some shares in Enlight Media," Wang Xiucheng said bluntly, finally stating his purpose.
“Enlight Media?” Ma Yun was slightly taken aback. “Enlight Media has a lot of shares in circulation on the market. You can just buy them directly.”
Ma Yun was puzzled, as Enlight Media is a listed company with most of its shares circulating in the market.
Even the more than 5% stake in Enlight Media held by Ali was acquired through market transactions.
Based on his understanding of Wang Xiucheng and Lao Cai's high regard for him, Wang Xiucheng should have known about this.
“Buying stocks is easy, but getting into the management team of Enlight Media is not.” Wang Xiucheng picked up his teacup again and took a sip.
Ma Yun was taken aback again. Did Wang Xiucheng want to join the management team of Enlight Media?
If you just want to hold shares and wait to make money, there is absolutely no need to join the management team.
"You want to get involved in the film and television industry?"
“It wasn’t me.” Wang Xiucheng shook his head: “My sister and a friend started a company. They want to invest in Enlight Media, and my sister’s friend wants to get a job at Enlight Media.”
"It's not easy for a divorced woman to find a job."
Ma Yun understood: Wang Xiucheng not only wanted to invest in Enlight Media, but also wanted to place his people in senior management positions at Enlight Media.
As for talk about divorced women, just listen to it and move on.
Could a woman who knows Wang Xiucheng be an ordinary woman?
“This might be difficult, you know that Enlight Media is a private company.” Ma Yun thought for a moment.
Wang Xiucheng picked up his teacup, took another sip, and then said, "If I were to acquire all of Enlight Media's shares on the market, and add your shares to that, I could barely reach over 50%."
“That would have made me the largest shareholder of Enlight Media, but I didn’t do that because I felt that it wouldn’t be Enlight Media anymore.”
Wang Xiucheng laughed, "If my friend joins the board of directors as a shareholder, I think I could also make a cameo appearance in Enlight Media's films and TV series during my breaks."
Ma Yun looked at the friendly-looking young man with a charming smile and was somewhat surprised.
Wang Xiucheng was negotiating with him, or rather, Wang Xiucheng was trying to persuade him to negotiate with the boss of Enlight Media.
Given Wang Xiucheng's current status as a top star, even a cameo appearance of just a few minutes would significantly boost a drama's ratings.
Ma Yunke still remembers that Wang Xiucheng made a cameo appearance in one of Yang Ying's dramas last year. Although it was only for a few minutes, the drama had a very high viewership rating.
It was originally broadcast on an online platform, but it ended up being broadcast on satellite TV.
Of course, the show didn't receive good reviews. For example, the plot was clichéd, Yang Ying's acting skills were questioned as always, and there was too much green screen work in the show.
However, this did not affect the show's ratings.
Ma Yun heard that a kissing scene between Wang Xiucheng and Yang Ying in the drama was cut.
He really wanted to see that part.
Ma Yun suddenly froze!
A divorced woman?
Could the person Wang Xiucheng was talking about be Yang Ying?
Ma Yun didn't pry, that's not in his nature.
That would also be contrary to his high-class image.
"Although I have a good relationship with the boss of Enlight Media, I can only ask around for you, I can't guarantee anything."
Wang Xiucheng nodded with a smile, "He will agree."
……
Wang Changtian, who had just gotten up, sat on the sofa, drank a cup of coffee, and then picked up his tablet to check his email.
A few minutes later, Wang Changtian opened an email from a friend in the United States, and his previously muddled mind immediately cleared up.
The email contained only a few words, but it was explosive enough.
"Some families have a rumor that Wang Xiucheng won 60 billion yuan in cash from the Wetheimer family in Saudi Arabia."
There is only this one sentence.
If it were anyone else, Wang Changtian would have just laughed it off.
But this refers to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng did indeed go to Saudi Arabia, which is known to many people.
The picture of Wang Xiucheng chatting with some Qatari nobleman on the steps has already spread all over the world.
Some people even compared this picture with previous pictures of the nobleman and Beckham.
The conclusion is that Wang Xiucheng is more handsome than both of them!
Furthermore, the fact that Wang Xiucheng won 43 billion from Fertitta last December is still fresh in everyone's mind.
Now they've won another 60 billion from the Wetheimer family?
How did he do it?
Furthermore, Wang Changtian was well aware that if Wang Xiucheng could beat Fertitta and the Wertheimer family, he could beat everyone else!
In the current circles of large Western families, many are probably living in fear, worried about being targeted by Wang Xiucheng.
It's estimated that many families want to eliminate Wang Xiucheng directly!
Wang Changtian had no idea how Wang Xiucheng had managed to do it.
But he felt that Wang Xiucheng was too high-profile.
Money is something you only need enough to spend; any more is just a string of numbers.
He also likes money, but he considers himself to be quite restrained.
You must know that this is Yanjing, the most important place in China.
Who knows how many tigers are hiding here, or how many dragons are coiled up here.
It took him decades to climb from obscurity to where he is today.
Only then can one be considered to have truly entered the so-called "Beijing circle".
Just then, the phone rang.
Wang Changtian glanced at the incoming call; it was Ma Yun's private number.
Wang Changtian suddenly remembered that Ma Yun's plane seemed to have been sold to Wang Xiucheng.
"Old Ma, what's up?" Wang Changtian answered the phone.
“Wang Xiucheng is with me; he wants to see you.”
Wang Changtian was stunned. Completely unprepared, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Could it be that Wang Xiucheng has his eye on me?
With my limited funds, it shouldn't be that bad, right?
"Of course, I'm in Yanjing... I can arrive in Hangzhou this afternoon, I'll set off now..."
Wang Changtian felt a little uneasy after hanging up the phone.
He didn't know why Wang Xiucheng had come to see him, and he even had to send Ma Yun.
But one thing is certain: this matter is very important.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Ma Yun to call him personally.
The first thing Ma Yun said on the phone was, "Wang Xiucheng is with me."
Wang Changtian knew that Ma Yun was reminding him of the importance of this matter.
Without making any delays, Wang Changtian called his personal assistant and canceled all his plans for the day.
……
2 pm.
Ma Yun's villa.
It was the same room.
The difference is that the number of people in the room has increased from two to three.
The table was now laden with food.
West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, Eight Treasure Tofu, Dongpo Pork, Longjing Shrimp, Old Duck Soup...
Most of them are local specialties of Hangzhou.
Wang Changtian didn't touch his chopsticks, but Wang Xiucheng ate very happily.
"Chinese food is still the best."
After eating for four or five minutes, Wang Xiucheng said something.
"Tell me about your situation," Ma Yun said, pouring Wang Xiucheng a cup of tea. "Look at Old Wang, he's lost his appetite."
Ma Yun did not call Wang Changtian to tell him about Wang Xiucheng's intentions because he only intended to act as an introducer.
When Wang Xiucheng came in the morning, he said that if they acquired the stocks on the market and added Ma Yun's own shares, they could have more than half of the shares.
This made Ma Yun realize that Wang Xiucheng was actually eyeing his shares as well.
Ma Yunke didn't think Wang Xiucheng was joking.
He knew about Wang Xiucheng's activities in Saudi Arabia even before Wang Xiucheng arrived.
“That’s right.” Wang Xiucheng put down his chopsticks, looked at Wang Changtian, and said, “Mr. Wang, I’d like to buy some shares of Enlight Media.”
Wang Changtian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then buy it. There are plenty of shares available on the market."
Wang Changtian's reaction was the same as Ma Yun's.
But Wang Changtian quickly realized that if it were this kind of thing, they certainly wouldn't have invited him over.
“I would also like to have someone apply for a job at your company,” Wang Xiucheng continued.
"Work?" Wang Changtian blinked, seemingly not understanding the meaning of those words.
“A divorced woman, all alone and helpless, let her work in your company. At least with your reputation and status, Mr. Wang, no one will make a move on her.”
Wang Changtian remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly absorbing the meaning of Wang Xiucheng's words.
He quickly came to a guess.
So Wang Changtian tentatively asked, "What is your relationship with her?"
Wang Xiucheng looked at Wang Changtian, and after a few seconds, he smiled and said, "It's not important."
"Then I need to know who she is, right?" Wang Changtian asked again.
In fact, just by looking at Wang Xiucheng's expression, he knew what kind of relationship Wang Xiucheng had with this so-called "divorced" woman.
"Yang Ying," Wang Xiucheng replied crisply.
Ma Yun, sitting next to him, sipped his tea with a smug look on his face. See, I guessed right.
On the contrary, Wang Changtian was stunned for a long time.
He didn't ask silly questions like "Which Yang Ying?"
How could those two words that Wang Xiucheng could utter be from anyone else?
So that’s it!
Wang Changtian instantly understood everything.
I also understand what Wang Xiucheng said earlier.
Yang Ying is divorced; her ex-husband is a minor shareholder of Huayi Brothers.
Huayi Brothers is Enlight Media's biggest competitor.
Making Yang Ying a shareholder of Enlight Media is indeed a very good idea.
Wang Xiucheng's statement, "With your fame and status, Mr. Wang, no one would dare to make a move on her," was inappropriate.
In reality, Wang Xiucheng wanted to protect Yang Ying, or rather, to be Yang Ying's protector.
At least in the public eye.
After all, Yang Ying's resources have been greatly reduced for various reasons.
"Of course, that's no problem," Wang Changtian said with a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then it would be a simple matter for him.
This was far better than the dozens of outcomes he had anticipated on the road.
"Alright, since there are no problems, let's eat." Ma Yun clapped his hands and picked up his chopsticks first: "These dishes won't taste good if they get cold."
……
The meeting with Wang Changtian was very pleasant, and Wang Xiucheng didn't know why he and Wang Changtian got along so well.
After saying goodbye to Wang Changtian and Ma Yun, Wang Xiucheng flew to Hengdian in a private car.
Wang Xiucheng's biggest mission upon returning to China this time is to acquire shares in Enlight Media.
Of all the older women he knew, Yang Ying was the most suitable.
Wang Xiucheng took out his phone and dialed a number.
No one answered the first time.
Wang Xiucheng typed it a second time.
This time someone answered.
"Why isn't my sister answering my calls? Has she forgotten me so quickly?" Wang Xiucheng said unhappily into the phone.
