Chapter 647 Light Bulb(2/2)

George and Nas were together for more than a year. I heard Nas mention that Lin Chaoyang had a good relationship with her father.

But after all, I have never seen a real person and I have always been skeptical.

Today I finally met Lin Chaoyang himself. He was a little excited and looked like a fan.

Looking at her boyfriend's performance, there was a hint of pride in Nas's expression.

Lin Chaoyang has a great reputation in the United States. For her, having such an elder is very respectful in front of her boyfriend.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Chaoyang learned that George is the tour manager of the Market Development Department of Nederlander Organization.

Nederlander Organization translates to Ni Delun Company, currently the second largest theater management company in the United States, operating 29 theaters in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The core businesses include theater operations, stage play production, global tours, TV festival self-production and other fields.

George, the tour manager, is mainly responsible for coordinating the tour venues, logistics and localization publicity for some of the company's plays. It is also because of his professional relationship that Nas specially arranged to watch the performance today.

"That's going to be wronged. The actors speak Chinese, which seems a bit difficult." Lin Chaoyang said to George with a joke.

"It's okay, good dramas can transcend language." George's personality is a nerd. Lin Chaoyang is obviously a joke, but he is serious about it.

After saying that, he added: "Besides, go to the state of Nas."

As he said that, a young man and woman looked at each other with a brushed look.

Lin Chaoyang looked at Li Tuo silently. The light bulb was so bright.

When he was with Li Tuoshi, he joked, "Is this son-in-law satisfied?"

"What are you satisfied with or not in the state? I can't make the decision-making-"

Li Tuo's tone was a little jealous. The cabbage he had raised for more than 20 years was robbed by a foreign pig. It was normal for him to be unhappy.

While chatting, he entered the Capital Theater.

After more than two months of running-in, the performances of the actors on stage have been perfected.

Especially Lao An, played by Zhu Xu, earned a lot of tears from the audience.

Over the past period of time, he has been frequently featured in newspapers, and has become another palace-level actor in Kangyi after "Sozhi".

At the end of the performance, the applause from the audience was like spring thunder and rushing like a tide.

When the actors were about to finish their curtain call, Lin Chaoyang, the original author and screenwriter, was also invited to the stage to enjoy the admiration and pursuit of the audience.

The audience knew that this was the last "Father" of this year. They were particularly excited and the applause lasted for a long time. The actors didn't know how much they thanked for, so they bid farewell to the stage and the audience.

Back in the background, Lin Chaoyang only realized after listening to the actors chatting.

Although today's performance has ended, it does not mean that the "Father" performance mission has ended this year.

During this period, they received invitations to perform in Shanghai and Xiangjiang respectively. After this performance, everyone would rest for half a month and would go south for a one-month performance.

The actors were very excited about this, because "Father" has indeed become famous. You should know that Shanghai does not easily invite Yanjing Kangyi to perform.

Not to mention that we have to perform in Xiangjiang. It is true that Xiangjiang has returned now, but for most of the people in China, it is still worth being happy to be able to go to Xiangjiang for a business trip.

Secondly, it is because you can not only travel for public expenses when you go to other places, but also enjoy subsidies.

The performance ended with 10 and a half. After the curtain call, I chatted in the background for a while, and the time has been 11.

Lin Chaoyang and the actors left the Capital Theater together. Many actors rode their bicycles to get off work. When their bicycles passed by the entrance of the Capital Theater, the messed up early times a group of loyal drama fans.

Whenever the performance is over, Duzhou drama fans will wait here at the entrance of the Capital Theater for many years, looking forward to meeting their favorite actors and saying a few words.

The actors of Kangyi are surrounded by security guards and bodyguards, and they say "get out" to fans of the drama.

The bicycle passed by the door and was shouted by the fans of the drama. These actors always responded enthusiastically, and Zhou Kang would high-five with the drama fans.

The screenwriter Lin Chaoyang was also very angry, almost being praised by drama fans as "sighing his mouth", and finally got in the car home with a happy mood.

More than a week later, September came, and the hot summer finally passed. The temperature in Yanjing became cooler in the morning and evening. Yanjing Kang, which had been bitter for a summer, finally had a few good days.

Tao Yushu flew back from the United States yesterday, and she went to the United States and successfully obtained investment from Sequoia Capital for Asia Pacific News.

This is the first round of financing of Asia Pacific News, but it is backed by Ming Pao Enterprise, a media giant with a market value of more than one billion US dollars. Its average daily number of users viewed by more than 3.5 million, which is destined to have a different financing scale than that of ordinary startups.

Asia Pacific News Network's first round of financing was worth US$80 million, with 15% of Asia Pacific's equity, and received US$12 million in financing.

Since the online publication "Asian News Abstract", the operation of Asia Pacific News has been in a state of massive losses.

In the past few years, it was just an online publication, and the annual expenditure was only HK$200 million.

Since its upgrade to a website, spending has skyrocketed, with losses of HK$14 million in the past year alone.

Therefore, every year when Mingpao corporate financial reports are released, the losses of Asia Pacific News Network (Asian News Abstract) will always become a hot discussion among some investors.

Xiangjiang's capital market has never been sensitive to the emerging Internet industry. In the eyes of shareholders, a listed company's business is not scary. What is scary is that it is many losses all year round, and there is no way to see the development potential and profit hope.

In the eyes of these investors, Asia Pacific News obviously belongs to this kind of business.

The successful financing not only made up for the losses of previous years, but also earned a building value of US$80 million.

Mingpao Enterprises issued an announcement immediately, and it was a big show in the stormy Hong Kong stock market.

Since July, financial markets in Southeast Asian countries have been in turmoil.

First the state baht dived, then the Philippine peso, Indonesian rut and Malaysian ringgit became the targets of international speculators.

After August, even the always strong Singapore dollar suffered a huge impact, and the entire Asia was shrouded in the shadow of the financial crisis.

As the fourth largest financial center in the world, the sixth largest foreign exchange trading market and the second largest stock trading market in Asia, Hong Kong dollar has also been attacked by international financial speculators led by Soros since July.

They used financial futures methods to buy Hong Kong dollars with a 3-month Hong Kong dollar futures contract, and then quickly shorted, causing the Hong Kong dollar interest rate to rise sharply and the Hang Seng Index to plummet, making huge profits from it.

Affected by the rise in Hong Kong dollar interest rates, the Hang Seng Index fluctuated continuously, and the market fell by more than 2,000 yuan, which was in a state of turmoil.

Although Tao Yushu's "Lin's Film, Ming Pao Enterprise and Bubble Universe have always been top students in Hong Kong stocks, this is not spared when the market is unfavorable.

The stock prices of the three listed companies all fell by 10 to 20%, and the market value fell by more than HK$15 billion, which was a heavy loss.

For Tao Yushu, the major shareholder, the company's stock price plummeted, but her previous cash out of nearly 10 billion yuan was praised by many financial media for being praised as a stroke of genius and highly praised.

The news of the successful financing of Asia Pacific News Network has been reported back to the Hong Kong stock market, and Mingpao's stock price rose in response to the news.

With the whole market in a state of tragedy, it rose 12% against the market.

However, this big rise is not very useful except to increase morale.

After all, the market is in a sluggish state. If it does not fall today, it may fall back tomorrow.

Before obtaining the financing, Tao Yushuci said hello to Sequoia Capital and explained the acquisition of Yipang's email.

Therefore, after financing, Asia Pacific News Network's first major move was to acquire Yipang. After this transaction, Tao Chengwen held 0.96% of the equity of the State Asia Pacific News Network.

Less than 1% of the equity seems insignificant, but Tao Chengwen deeply understands that less than 1% of the equity will most likely bring him more than twice the wealth within two years.

Because Tao Yushu communicated with him about the next development plan of Asia Pacific News, and in order to meet the current fanatical pursuit of the Internet economy in the US capital market, Tao Yushu positioned "Asia Pacific News" as "the world's first professional news portal."

In order to facilitate investors to find references, Tao Yushu also benchmarked Asia Pacific News and Yahoo.

Yahoo started out as a search engine, and Asia Pacific News started out as a news network. There is no way to fight the two. This kind of writing is very unreliable, but it is the most popular way to invest in the United States.

Currently, Yahoo’s Dazhu business is search engine + news + email + chat room. After Yipang is acquired, it will be integrated into the Asia Pacific News Network, and the online chat room business that Asia Pacific News Network has opened before.

In this way, Asia Pacific News has become the small account "Yahoo".

In this era, the potential of search engines has not been fully demonstrated. Tao Yushu used "news portal" to benchmark "search engines", which looked very stately and somewhat evenly matched.

Moreover, Asia Pacific News has an exclusive advantage.

That is because it is backed by Mingpao Enterprise and Star TV, it has a natural and huge advantage on the road to making profits by imitating Yahoo to create an online advertising model.

Tao Chengwen feels that with his aunt's ability and the potential shown by Asia Pacific News, it is definitely not a problem to go public on Nasdaq in the future, and the market value is likely to be inferior to Yahoo.

But even if the market value of Yahoo only has 1/3 of its market value, then his scattered equity is a wealth of Qianfang US dollar.

However, what made Tao Chengwen at a loss was that he used to start a company to maintain the email business. Now Yipang has sold himself, and he has no motivation to start a company.

He found Lin Chaoyang again and told his confusion in his heart.

"You are a master's degree from Stanford and have learned so much professional knowledge. You always come here to ask me, the one who owes a novel, to answer you with the right questions?" Lin Chaoyang complained.

"Doesn't this just show your wisdom and far-sightedness? My aunt said that you just didn't do business, otherwise your achievements might be twice as good as hers."

Lin Chaoyang resisted the twitching of his mouth. He either liked to listen to these flatteries or simply wanted to find a direction to guide his confused young mind.

After guidance from Kangsheng's mentor Comrade Lin Chaoyang, Tao Chengwen gradually understood his ideas and decided to make an instant pong software.

At this time, in Runxun Tongpong Development State Co., Ltd., far away in Shenzhen, programming engineer Xiaoma felt a chill on his head, as if something on his head had been given to him.

"I think you two have a good relationship recently!"

After Tao Chengwen left Xiao Liubu's mouth, Tao Yushu looked at his back and said to Lin Chaoyang.

"You are bragging for me? Your eldest nephew is now treating me as his life mentor." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Give Kang Zhi a mystery, isn't this your strength?"

The couple joked that Li Tuoshi entered the yard.

"Oh, you are Yuke, why didn't you accompany your foreign son-in-law?" Lin Chaoyang joked.

Li Tuo's face turned dark when he heard this.
