Chapter 284 Old Classmates

Tengying Entertainment wants to sell 10% of its shares for 6 billion.

Just when the vice president of Big Penguin was ready to bargain with him, and even wanted to lower the price a little.

The president of Ali's entertainment division has already come to contact him.

Seriously speaking, Big Penguin and Ali have been equally matched in the past two years.

They are kings of each other.

Baidu, which is at the same level as them, has seen its stock price collapse this year due to the Wei Zexi incident.

They are not at the same level at all.

For Tengying Entertainment, introducing Big Penguin is a strategic goal, and Ali doesn't seem to be necessary.

It is said that after Ali contacted Tengying Entertainment, Big Penguin reported to Lao Ma overnight.

The next day, he rushed to Shanghai to sign the contract.

6 billion is just a drop in the bucket for Internet giants.

Chen Pingsheng didn't try to please both sides, and rejected Ali openly.

Introducing Big Penguin as a strategic partner of Tengying Entertainment.

As soon as the news came out, the entertainment industry was the first to explode.

This is definitely the largest share transfer in the industry, and it fully demonstrates the unparalleled influence of Tengying Entertainment.

Three years later, Tengying has truly grown into a giant in the entertainment industry.

Not only in movies, but also in TV dramas.

It has become the most popular entertainment group for big-name artists in the industry.

The unique artist signing and cooperation model has been well received by the industry.

Now, 10% of the shares are sold at a sky-high price of 6 billion.

The buyer is still the big penguin, which can only mean that the market value of Tengying Entertainment, which is more than 50 billion, has not reached its peak at all.

If we say that the transaction is completed, the happiest people are Tong Zelan and others.

After all, she used 5 billion to take away about 18% of Tengying Entertainment's scattered shares from him.

Now these scattered shares are worth 10 billion.

It doubled in just one month.

How can I not be happy?

Chen Pingsheng has nothing to regret, mainly because he was really short of money at the time.

In the case of lack of money, assets must be sold at a discount.

After receiving this 6 billion yuan of funds, you still have to pay taxes.

If you hold shares as an individual, the payment standard is the difference between the transfer transaction price and the original investment price and expenses.

Pay 20%.

He uses Tenghui Capital to hold shares, and the annual corporate income tax is 25%.

It is not a quarter of the total amount, but only 25% of the profit.

There are many reasonable ways for companies to avoid taxes, and the most reasonable way is naturally to spend all the money.

You can buy a car or a house.

Chen Pingsheng transferred 3 billion yuan of it to Tengfei New Energy, specifically to form a research and development team for motors and electronic control systems.

He now has an integrated production super factory, Tengfei Ecological Park, and the largest lithium battery research and development factory in China.

It can be said that the layout on new energy is only missing intelligent driving.

At present, it is still recruiting teams in this area. If it is developed from scratch, it is still too late to start the intelligent driving system.

Foreign artificial intelligence can easily beat the world champion in playing Go.

If he wants to catch up in the field of intelligent driving, the best way is to directly purchase some AI artificial intelligence technology in related fields from abroad.

If you want to buy patented technology, you have to pay a high price.

Chen Pingsheng asked Lao Yan and others to contact overseas to see if there are any AI artificial intelligence teams for sale.

Or technology.

If we talk about the best technology in this area in China, it must be Baidu.

Unfortunately, Baidu's core technology is impossible to sell, and he can't afford it.

Intelligent driving is the future of unmanned driving, which is definitely the key core technology of new energy vehicles in the next five or ten years.

Chen Pingsheng also plans to spend billions of dollars every year on research.

Technology is really a bottomless pit. No wonder domestic big companies like to assemble it. He has only been here for a short time.

He has actually spent more than 10 billion yuan in investment in technology research and development or team recruitment.

At least 40 billion yuan will be invested in the next few years.

It's not that you can master core technology by spending money, but it's absolutely impossible not to spend money.

Chen Pingsheng allocated another 2.5 billion to increase the research and development of batteries.

This thing will either not break through, or once it breaks through, the future value will definitely be amazing.

He is also a typical example of heavy investment.

There are special presidents in the field of technology, and he doesn't need to manage it.

What he had to do was to keep raising money to invest in this before the research and development results came out.

Thinking that once he succeeded, it would be painful and happy.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know how to spend the remaining small goals.

He simply gave each of the executives in the group a Range Rover Creation Extended Edition.

He also bought a wine red one for himself.

The money for buying cars can be used to offset taxes, and he got almost 35 cars at one time.

The discount is 100 million.

The reason Chen Pingsheng gave was that the group's theme business was very good this year, and he hoped that they would continue to work hard.

...

Time flies.

It's almost the end of July in a blink of an eye. Yang Qian's best friend is also his classmate. They officially held the Wangcai 97 junior high school reunion in Shanghai.

Seriously speaking, most reunions start from high school or college.

It's really rare to hold a junior high school reunion like them.

The main reason is that Chen Pingsheng only graduated from junior high school.

Chang Fu is about the same. Among the four of them, only Zhang Tao studied in a technical secondary school for one year.

Gao Hu studied cooking right after graduating from junior high school. How could he hold a high school reunion?

Chen Pingsheng drove his Range Rover to participate. His car was a burgundy red extended version, which looked very domineering from the outside.

It looks very high-end from the inside.

Although Land Rover doesn't have a good reputation, it costs more than three million yuan and so many rich people choose it. How can it be so bad?

He still took his big kid Chen An'an to attend, but his wife couldn't come because she had something to do.

Chang Fu called him while he was still on the way and said he had a surprise, but he didn't know what the situation was.

Most people in their thirties have already started a family.

They also have wealth and freedom. Under such circumstances, no fool would deliberately compare themselves to a class reunion.

If you want to say that it is simply to connect the feelings between classmates, that is not the case.

For example, my best friend Yang Qian opened a small company in Hangzhou.

Because I wasn’t very familiar with them when I was studying.

Even though she heard the name of her old classmate every day in Hangzhou, she had no excuse or reason to come to see Chen Pingsheng.

Based on the friendship between junior high school classmates, it is impossible.

After all, at that time, Chen Pingsheng and the others' grades were at the bottom of the class.

She has been among the top three in the school for a long time.

After Chen Anan came over, the biggest good news she heard was that her father's grades were the same as hers.

It turned out that it was not that she failed in the exam, it was just because of her genetics.

This is the countdown.

Well, the long-standing knot in my mind has finally been resolved, and I can now take the top three exams with peace of mind.

Who can say that her sister An An's grades are not good?

She's going to say it's my genetics. What, you want to fight for your father?

One sentence can drive people away.

Wow haha, don’t be too happy at all.

Yao Anni also took advantage of Yang Qian's opportunity to invite Chen Pingsheng and the others over. She had put in a lot of effort.

Twenty years later, it is not easy to bring so many old classmates together.

"Old Chen, you are a regular customer of Finance now. It is an honor for us old classmates to invite you here this time."

Yao Anni took the initiative to propose a toast, and Chen Pingsheng drank politely. He thought Yang Kang would also come.

As a result, I still didn’t see anyone else.

This guy followed a few of them when he was in junior high school. Now after so many years, I'm afraid he's not doing very well.

Chen Pingsheng asked curiously: "Isn't Yang Kang in Hangzhou like you? Why didn't you invite him over?"

Yao Anni was surprised. She didn't expect Chen Pingsheng to still remember that guy. Yang Kang was about to change his fortune.

"His family went bankrupt due to an accident ten years ago. Now he mainly relies on his wife as an anchor to make money, and rarely contacts us old classmates anymore." Yao Anni explained.

It turned out to be inferiority complex.

Chen Pingsheng understands very well. When things are not going well, no one wants to contact him.

After you get mixed up, you will think about finding those good brothers from the past.

Maybe this is the man.

Turning the cup in his hand, Chen Pingsheng said: "That guy used to be pretty good. He bought it when we didn't have cigarettes."

Yao Anni smiled and remained calm on the outside, but she was filled with envy on the inside.

If ordinary people said this, it would definitely be nothing.

But it was Chen Pingsheng who said this, so it was so extraordinary.

Yao Anni secretly planned that when she returned to Hangzhou this time, she would definitely go to Yang Kang.

No matter what, you have to build a good relationship with him.

Even if a hair on a rich person moved, she would have to figure out where the hair was blowing.

Originally Yao Anni wanted to pay for this class reunion, but it was Chen Pingsheng's turn to spend money here.

After dinner at the Peace Hotel, Chen Pingsheng took them to a top private club in Shanghai.

We have everything, you can play whatever you want.

Yao Anni never spoke about her affairs because she felt that the time was not right yet.

If you open your mouth at this time, you can only make a small fuss.

She still has a little money, and over the years she has managed to carve out a small career among men on her own.

If it weren't for Yang Qian this time, she wouldn't have been able to date someone of Chen Pingsheng's level.

The more I go to the mall, the more I realize the sky-high influence of my old classmate.

Let's just say you were a pretty good multi-millionaire.

Suddenly one day, my old classmate looked at you twice and drank two cups of tea with you.

It might not be long before you become a billionaire.

This is no exaggeration.

Social status, social circle, wealth, everything must be different.

Yang Qian had such a bad life in the past, and she was so suppressed by her husband's family that she couldn't hold her head up.

After the divorce, there was nothing.

You want to say how powerful she is, is it still unclear to Yao Anni after knowing her for so many years?

Definitely no better than her.

What's going on now?

President of Antler Coffee.

A female CEO of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions.

As long as Chen Pingsheng doesn't come to sit down with someone of this status.

She is definitely the most conspicuous presence in the crowd.

As for her husband Chang Fu, Yao Anni knew better, even though he used to drive fast.

There is not much money in the pocket at all, it is completely hard-wearing.

After being called to the capital by Chen Pingsheng, not long ago, his annual net income was several hundred million.

The Rolls Royce also comes with bodyguards when going out.

Let's talk about Gao Hu, who opened a hotpot restaurant in Shacheng. Although his business was good, compared with the current CEO of Feiyangyang, it was simply a world of difference.

This is circles and connections.

Anyone who could catch Chen Pingsheng's eyes was basically lifted away by him.

Yao Anni is not sure she is next, but she has to work hard.

She remembered that Yang Kang lived in a small house that his parents bought before the accident.

After all these years, this house is the only one that has not been sold.

Yao Anni searched in the address book of her mobile phone for a long time. After confirming that there was no contact information for him, she found Yang Kang's specific location through several classmates.

I drove to my door in the evening without any delay.

Yang Kang's wife was doing live broadcast at home and was very impatient.

After hearing someone knocking on the door, I comforted the big brother in the live broadcast room for a few words before going to open the door.

Yao Anni is also very good at life. After all, she is still a business person. She is not a bit better than the average person in interpersonal communication.

She went downstairs and bought two large durians and brought them up, and also bought a lot of imported fruits.

The total cost of seventy-seven, seventy-eight and eighty-eight was one thousand and fifty.

"Who are you?"

"You are my sister-in-law, right? I am classmate Yang Kang. We have met before."

Yang Kang's wife Zhang Cuicui has some impressions, but she is not very familiar with her.

But seeing her come in with so many gifts, she still had a smile on her face.

After Yao Anni entered the house, she took a closer look at the house. It was a two-bedroom house in the main city of Hangzhou.

Generally speaking, it’s a good thing that you buy it early for decoration, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to live in a house in this location.

Zhang Cuicui married Yang Kang because her family was in good condition. Who knew she would go bankrupt within two years?

As all couples know, it's okay when they have money, but if they have a snobbish wife when they don't have money, their life will be a mess.

This is Yang Kang's current situation.

He was still running outside Didi and did not come back. Zhang Cuicui asked Yao Anni what he was doing here. Yao Anni only said that he had something to do with Yang Kang.

By the time Yang Kang came back, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Cuicui said angrily: "Why are you back so early again? Your classmates are here to find you."

Yao Anni stood up.

Men are like this, no matter how hard you work outside, if you make too little money, your snobbish wife will have no mercy at all.

Just a look of disgust.

"Mr. Yao, why are you here?"

Yang Kang was a little surprised. Although he didn't take the initiative to contact his classmates, he still knew those who were doing well.

"I went to Shanghai to attend the class reunion today. You should know this, right?"

"I know, I heard a little bit about it."

"Then you still remember Chen Pingsheng."

"Him?" Yang Kang was a little disappointed, "So what if you remember, so what if you don't remember."

"It seems that you have also heard about his situation from your classmates. I am very confused, why didn't you go find him?"

Yao Anni asked directly.

Yang Kang smiled bitterly, "What should I do to find him? Just rely on my old classmate relationship from twenty years ago?"

"He took the initiative to ask about you today. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You want to say that he still remembers me hanging around behind him?"

Zhang Cuicui listened to their conversation and asked impatiently, "I keep talking about this Chen Pingsheng, who is he?"

"Just a former brother."

Yang Kang asked her, "You still want to meet your big brothers in the live broadcast room so late?"

"If I don't go to see them, will they reward me so generously?"

Zhang Cuihui said with disdain: "Don't look at me like that. Your daughter's tutoring fee is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. With your little income, both of us will starve to death."

"Then you can stay out all night?"

"That's not because I was forced by you."

Zhang Cuicui said disgustedly: "Don't talk about your classmate. If I don't give you face, a man who can't earn a hundred thousand a year, what's the difference between that and a waste?"

Yang Kang may have gotten used to it, so he squeezed his hands tightly for a while and then loosened them.

Zhang Cuicui dressed herself up and went out.

She doesn't worry at all about what her man will do at home. He's just a Didi driver. Who can fall in love with him?

That's why I was blind at the time. If I hadn't seen that he was lucky and still had a house, I would have divorced him long ago.

If you want your eldest brother to reward you with gifts in the live broadcast room, do you really think that just calling him "brother" will suffice?

In private, the door must be open.

Otherwise, who would keep giving you rewards?

Except for fools, of course.

Yang Kang knew very well that his wife's income was much higher than his.

There must be more than 200,000 yuan a year, but where does this money come from?

You can only open one eye and close one eye.

It makes me cry when I think about it at night.

She is even more shameless to mention it in front of her daughter, and can only say good things about her mother.

Who is Yao Anni? She just knew it instantly. She asked in surprise, "You don't care about her like this?"

"No matter what, if it really comes to divorce, the only person who will be hurt is my daughter."

Yao Anni was also speechless. There was no other man who could take this seriously.

"Chen Pingsheng asked you twice at the class reunion today, and even asked me to pay attention to your news. Based on his current social status, I don't believe you haven't heard his name."

"How could you not have heard of it?"

Yang Kang said helplessly: "Going downstairs is the fresh food shop he opened. There are also milk tea, coffee, and snacks. I still can't believe that this was actually done by my brother."

"Then why don't you go find him? I want to hear the truth!"

Yao Anni asked looking into his eyes.

"You think I didn't think about it, I just walked downstairs and came down again."

Yang Kang said: "When he first went to Shanghai, their advertisements were everywhere, and my daughter was clamoring to attend the concert held by their group. Later, I wandered downstairs for three days. When I mustered up the courage to go up, I met another classmate. He had just come down from the top floor with 100,000 cash in his hand."

"You know, this classmate's mother was seriously ill. He went to find Lao Chen, but he didn't see him at all. He only saw his secretary. The secretary was like a fairy. After hearing that he was the boss's junior high school classmate, he took out 100,000 from the drawer without saying a word, and then told him that the boss was not there."

Yang Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I thought about it for a long time at the time. I said that I should be able to get 100,000 if I went up. Whether to take advantage of this or not, I hesitated for three days. I don't know when I became like this."

Yao Anni understood him very well. If he was still the rich second generation and had the conditions at home.

He would definitely go up directly.

Nowadays, people are poor and have low aspirations. Before going up, they no longer think about the brotherhood they used to have.

Instead, they simply want to get 100,000 yuan.

This temptation is simply irresistible to most people.

Yang Kang blocked most of his classmates, perhaps just to maintain this last dignity.

Former brothers, you can get 100,000 yuan if you go up.

Whether you go up or not, this is really a question.

Seeing your brother doing so well, the feeling may only be known by yourself.

Moreover, your wife is still like this.

Yao Anni doesn't know whether she should sympathize or not.
