Sensational news, treasure returned home.

Those who used to criticize the wealthy Mr. Wei on the Internet for only living in debauchery have all shut up.

Even if someone is a prodigal, he is still a prodigal that you can never catch up with.

See what people do when they go out?

Wei Tao once again used his own efforts to bring Anshun's projects to widespread public attention. Some of the key investment projects of Anshun Investment have also been picked up by the Internet for comment.

Some time ago, thanks to Ele.me’s efforts, Wei Tao became an unlucky person and a person unworthy of being able to thrive in an investment bank.

The sad image makes people feel that there is nothing worth looking forward to. No matter what kind of external force you have encountered, if you sell your dreams so easily for a little money, you are not worthy of being someone that young entrepreneurs trust.

Wei Tao did not explain a way of judging that puts the cart before the horse, so some people stepped up their efforts and continued to promote this argument, making people feel that you don’t know when to start investing, you must follow it all the way to the end, witness the ups and downs together, and go through it together. future appointments. Any form of getting off the bus shows disrespect for one’s own vision and the investment itself.

A completely unreasonable argument, with enough popularity, it really makes some people believe it. Then some so-called experts come out and add some professional vocabulary that makes people listen to it, so that you can listen to it. Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, whether it works or not, it just sounds great.

The more Wei Tao didn't explain, the more the promoter of this argument got excited and shouted that there was only one reason why the person involved didn't reply, and that was that he didn't have the confidence to face us. This was completely speaking to his heart, so he didn't dare Response, that is true, what will he respond to, bring shame on himself?

It wasn't until Wei Tao returned to China that one hour after landing, the entire Internet public opinion reversed. Before, some fans and netizens were needed to cooperate with Maoya's publicity model to support their boss. Only then could he barely compete with those negative There was a confrontation in public opinion.

No need now, the real reversal is here. Let’s see what a heat-making machine is. Our boss is.

Some knowledgeable people began to ridicule Zhang Xuhao directly on the Internet. Even Mahua Teng and others, who are still the major shareholders of Ele.me, were also implicated.

"Hahahaha, this is the real horse that has no face, right? You still want to take the opportunity to step on us, thinking that after giving you money, you are qualified to ridicule? Are you still far away?"

After he came back, he directly boosted the popularity, directly gained himself a large number of fans again, and gained support from many people. In just a few days, Ele.me's business data dropped off a cliff.

You see, a boycott called by the authorities may not necessarily work, but a boycott spontaneously carried out by netizens without anyone directing it is astonishingly lethal. Do you dare to imagine that offline Blue Riders would be boycotted by some people? Don't say anything to you, just look at me and experience it for yourself.

Wei Tao did not stay in the country for long, nor did he accept any form of interview. There were some big events when the national treasure returned home, such as return gifts and the like. People from the Anshun Group came forward. He himself did not come forward, nor did he Any reaction to the current confrontation between the two major food delivery businesses.

Kobe Bryant's trip to China was promoted.

Preparations for the Maoya Spring Festival Gala are in full swing.

The crew of "Parasite" went to LA again. The last major event in the film and television industry a year ago, the Oscars, affected many domestic movie fans and fans.

I thought this was the biggest news, but as a result, Dianping’s backstabbing announced that the war between yellow and blue had suddenly reached an epic turning point.

Some people thought that Wei Tao's sale of Ele.me's shares would be a turning point in the war between yellow and blue. As a result, neither Wei Tao nor Meituan took advantage of this incident to make a big fuss, and the opportunity to beat the loser was passed up. , many people think it is a pity. Even if Zhang Xuhao is not a drowned dog at this time, he can still be beaten into one.

As a result, there was no movement, and everyone online felt like a great opportunity had been missed.

Can anyone help analyze and explain it? Mr. Wei Renyi, even if he leaves, is not willing to use some underhanded tricks. Unlike some people, who are so fast when they cross the river and demolish the bridge. The person has just crossed the river and has not yet stood firm. The soles of his feet are still wet. , just thinking about blowing up the bridge that allowed him to cross the river.

The image of a person does not play a decisive role.

But the change of situation left most people dumbfounded.

Zhang Xuhao and others are still on vacation abroad, and are they still avoiding possible public opinion attacks? Are you still secretly planning your big move?

As a result, Dianping was stabbed in the back and jumped from Ele.me to Meituan.

Zhang Xuhao received the call in his sleep and was dumbfounded. He thought it was a conspiracy. Previously, I had just secretly communicated with Alibaba and had a disagreement with Penguin over Ele.me’s introduction of Alibaba’s funds.

He was still waiting for it to be dealt with, but Penguin took action directly, pushing both him and Ali to a point of no return.

Penguin’s investment in Meituan, and its investment in a very aggressive manner, is completely different from Alibaba’s investment in Ele.me with Wei Tao’s shares.

The outside world had no idea what happened, and no internal news came out. The result was that a year ago, there was a "swapping of owners" between the two parties.

The so-called "owner" is just a joke. Each side has a big capital behind it and has the strength to push the other side to become the industry leader. That's why some people think that behind Huanglan are two major Internet companies. With them as shareholders and bosses, financial and all No matter how experienced you are, there will be no problem.

Both parties unanimously chose to handle this matter in a low-key manner. Privately, they wanted to take out a knife and stab the other party to death, but they would not show any of it. On the surface, they wanted to minimize the impact as much as possible to avoid being used by people with malicious intentions, which would affect the future strategies of both parties. Development has an impact.

There are many stories, and they are not enough for outsiders. Many things are also dirty, and it is not easy to bring them out. Once they are seen clearly, public opinion on the Internet today is critical and has no regard for projects that require corporate image. benefit.

No matter which party made the first move, no matter who suffered the dumb loss, no matter how many dirty and dirty arrangements there were, since both parties finally chose to 'swap', they were eliminating the impact.

We can no longer urinate in a pot. Instead of internal friction, it is better to solve the problem neatly and focus on development as soon as possible.

Wang Xing didn't speak, and neither did Zhang Xuhao.

Mahua Teng and Lin'an Ma have also chosen to keep a low profile during this period, and have not come out. They are staying at home with their families, working in the company, and not walking into the camera.

The assistants and executives around him were silent.

The employees below also kept their mouths shut.

There is no talk about the negative impact that Dianping’s traffic diversion has had on Ele.me. At the most appropriate opportunity, Zhang Tao completed the transfer of strategic planning.

………………

"That's him, that's him! Otherwise, why didn't he sell his original shares in Dianping and Ele.me? What's the use of keeping those shares in Dianping? I'm not afraid of giving him away directly. Swallow it? No one would have thought that it would be possible to sell it at a good price while it was valuable at that time, unless he already knew what Zhang Tao was thinking, and I suspect that he was the one behind this matter."

In private, how could Zhang Xuhao not break everything in the office to vent his anger.

He punched Wei Tao in a series of blows, but Wei Tao was not able to hit him. The other party immediately slapped him back, and he only received the slap in silence, not daring to fight back at all.

Forget it, after the counterattack, there are continuous attacks, you are forcing me to go on the road of immortality.

Lin'an Ma is much more stable, but he has some doubts about the fact that his partner is optimistic about Zhang Xuhao. But thinking that it was a done deal and that there was some cooperation between him and his family, he didn't think too much about it.

There are also reasons for Mahuateng and Wang Xing to come together. There are also some other cooperations between them that can connect this cooperation. Some outsiders say it is a personality problem, but that will not be the main reason.

At this moment, Lin'an immediately felt that this suggestion about character issues seemed to be on the right track, and it might really be because of this.

Is it Wei Tao?

Lin'an Ma doesn't think about it. This is the case in the business world. When you don't know how to self-examine, you will definitely mistakenly think that someone else attacked you first.

He knows how to self-examine, and after being successful in some aspects and attracting attention, he acts low-key in other aspects and lowers the average. He didn't think it was Wei Tao who did it, and told himself that even if it was, it wasn't. He must set such an established understanding for himself, otherwise there would be no more cooperation with Wei Tao in the future, and there would only be constant disputes. And now, even if we can't be friends with him, we definitely can't be enemies.

Looking at Zhang Xuhao's appearance, it was obvious that he was over the top, not what a truly strategically thinking leader should be like. For the first time, Lin'an Ma had some ideas about the future development of Ele.me that he had never had before. Perhaps, he was not A good helmsman.

Will a good project fail to develop if it encounters a not-so-good helmsman?

"It shouldn't be him. He doesn't have that much influence unless there is a deeper cooperation between him and Penguin and a larger financial exchange between the two parties." Zhang Yong shook his head. He was trying to change Zhang Xuhao. Stubbornness in some aspects.

He also admired the other party's stubbornness, but this young man still needed experience in doing things.

Zhang Xuhao's eyes were cold: "How could it not be him? I have news here that Penguin is planning to collect some shares from shareholders and transfer them to Wei Tao internally, with a relatively preferential price and a period of funding in batches. Between them , I must have planned it a long time ago. In vain, I helped him speak and raised the price. In the end, I even bore part of the premium for buying his shares. This white-eyed wolf really misjudged him at the beginning. "

Lin'an Ma's eyes stopped his right-hand man, and Zhang Yong understood and did not speak again. If he had to make enemies, then letting him stand in front seemed to be a good choice.

If a young man with a high IQ who has never experienced failure has an impulsive personality, he is very suitable to be a pioneer. You are not worried that he will be unable to recover once he encounters Waterloo. For this kind of person, failure will not damage his self-confidence. , and also has enough wisdom to quickly adjust his mentality.

Wei Tao's side is developing too fast and is so powerful that it might not be a bad thing to create an enemy for him.

Although they both acted in a low-key manner and avoided spreading the matter, both parties had a tacit understanding to downplay the matter. The competition between Ele.me and Meituan also calmed down at this time, and neither of them made any big moves. Since the outside world There are more exciting things and the New Year is approaching, so let’s divert everyone’s attention.

These do not include the criticism of Wei Tao in a small circle, calling him a despicable person, saying that he secretly plots against his partners, and externally acting like he has been wronged.

Soon, some people placed the blame on Wei Tao as the instigator of Huang Lan's exchange of owners. This was not known to the majority of netizens, but only within a small scope. I chatted with my friends and drank with them. , talk about this matter.

The friend who heard this, when eating and drinking with others, swore: "I have a friend who experienced it personally. He told me personally. Mr. Zhang from Ele.me also said that the person behind their incident was Anshun." Mr. Wei was also the one who incited Dianping to backstab Ele.me. Well, don’t believe it, Wei Tao is a shareholder of Dianping. Don’t you know? Anshun Investment invested in Dianping a long time ago. This cooperation was all instigated by Wei Tao."

Another post: "My friend is Zhang Xuhao's right-hand man. He told me personally that their incident was a conspiracy, led by Wei Tao from Maoya. Don't you know why this incident could be kept quiet? Afterwards, There hasn’t been a lot of media coverage, and it hasn’t been very popular. Wei Tao’s advantage in the media is that he’s the leader. He’s prepared in advance, so there’s no way it’s going to cause a stir in the city.”

Another rumor: "Wei Tao is a conspirator. He tricked Ele.me and made more than 3 billion US dollars. At the end, he pushed Zhang Xuhao into the trick. He flirted with Wang Xing. Ali also suffered a loss this time. How much money has been spent? Lin'an Ma has no money. Behind his Alibaba capital is SoftBank. This time, many capital bosses' funds have been brought into China and injected into Ele.me. Don't think How much money do those capital investment banks have? Even if they have money, they cannot invest like this. How many projects can that money invest in? If Xiaomi wants to start financing, it will not reach the scale of 20 billion US dollars this time..."

Everyone has relatives and friends. Let’s talk about it and spread a version. Let’s talk again, another version.

Those who got the news treated it as top secret information and did not spread it. They just used it as a talking point in their circle of friends. After all, most people always want to find some topics to talk about when they get together with relatives and friends to drink some wine. If others don't have to talk loudly but are listening to me talk, that is a very comfortable thing and will give me a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, the popularity of this matter can reach the level of making you the most handsome guy at the dinner table. Some people may even make up nonsense about it. When he finishes talking and others ask in depth, what should he do if there is no news? So what if it’s nonsense? It’s just a piece of conversation material at the wine table anyway. Who can go and verify it?

Wei Tao was in LA, but he became a character who could make Ali Lin'an Ma suffer. He became the driving force behind the huge changes in the war between yellow and blue. It also made many people in the shopping mall not know Wei Tao. Before you get familiar with him, let's leave an impression. You need to be more careful with this guy and don't do business with him easily.

Being afraid of others is not a bad thing for Wei Tao. After learning about this bad impression, he felt quite happy.

As long as he has enough resources, he can protect himself. He doesn't really want to create a business empire and become a real entrepreneur or businessman.

He didn't want to live such a busy life, running around for business and planning for the company all day long, let alone accept it becoming the theme of his life. Every year when I am in the mood to work, I can just keep busy for a while.

My busyness needs to be controlled by myself and not become the norm.

The image of a villain is quite good. It's almost done now anyway. Pin Xixi should keep an eye on it before taking on such a big project again.

In terms of biomedicine, it doesn't matter if you cast a wider net. It doesn't matter if you don't have memory. It will become a new hot industry. I can make five dollars and lose five dollars on my investment.

For the rest, he is not going to develop new ones. In another seven or eight years, I will definitely retire. There is no need to work so hard. Now they say that I am the driving force behind Wang Xing, right? After Meituan goes public, you will see that the man who was once called the driving force behind the scenes will slowly sell his shares and withdraw from the project.

………………

Another night of partying.

Wei Tao opened his eyes, rubbed his temples that were a little sore from a hangover, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the people around him.

No matter how young you are, you can't handle such madness.

The Oscars haven't started yet, and his entertainment schedule is full, not only to expand the influence of "Parasite", but as a rich man with a lot of spare money in his hands, he also dares to spend money to do things in the Eagle Country. Netizens People are asking if any big film companies want to change ownership?

He was really interested, and there were even agents in the industry. When Wei Tao arrived in LA this time, he immediately helped him organize the game and contacted him to make dinner appointments with various film industry bosses.

When it comes to spending money, Wei Tao is not a picky person, and he never follows the rules when doing things. When his negotiations turned into a crazy entertainment mode.

Here, there will be many companies and people who will help organize any kind of party. Pool parties are all basic, and models and actors from all walks of life are standard. However you want to have fun, you can come up with a charter. In an entertainment city like LA, there is nothing you can’t think of and nothing you can’t do.

After leaving the room, Lu Jiang went in and threw down rolls of dollars. This was a tip and had nothing to do with last night's consumption.

Wei Tao returned to the room where he actually lived, washed and changed clothes, checked today's schedule, who he would meet in the afternoon, who he would have dinner with in the evening, and what the activities after dinner would be.

As long as you, Mr. Wei, are willing to play, there will naturally be people in charge who are willing to play to connect with you, and there will naturally be people from all walks of life who love playing to discuss business with you. If you really wear a suit and sit at the negotiation table seriously, what kind of model It’s not suitable for Hollywood, let alone the people in the entertainment industry here.

They are 'well-informed' people who will never have enough fun unless their bodies can't bear it. Because people come up with tricks, and once they get tired of them, someone will immediately come up with new tricks; people are also constantly changing, and there are still a lot of girls from Europe. In those countries that are rich in beauties, there are thousands of them every year. Thousands of dream-chasing girls come to this city that carries the dream of becoming a star.

They will become flowers blooming here, but no matter how bright the flowers are or how long they bloom, after they arrive, they will first be tasted by the group of people who have appointments with Wei Tao every day.

Brother Long also came to Hollywood, in the name of introducing friends to Wei Tao, and he was also greedy. "Parasite" uses the story of Xiangjiang, the Eastern storytelling method, and the Eastern actors to tell the whole world a story that is suitable for A story of East and West.

He knew that the idea for this story came from Mr. Wei. Even when the screenwriters of Anshun Entertainment were finalizing several drafts, it was Mr. Wei who made the final decision. It needed to be revised and reconsidered. When the dust settled, he said nothing. Without this script, there would be no glory today.

It’s not a kung fu movie, it’s not a martial arts movie, it’s not a feature film that reflects the social situation in our special period, but it’s a movie that can be played in 80 to 90 percent of countries around the world even if it’s completely shot and remade, and the key points of the script are not modified at all. .

He is a kung fu superstar and is well-known internationally. However, under the Hollywood film industry model, this popularity will quickly depreciate over time. Even at the level of Nicolas Cage, he has not made a film in three years without any box office data to support his reputation. Influence and remuneration will also directly drop by a terrifying number.

When John Woo was making movies here, as a director, if he failed with one movie, there would still be people supporting him. If he failed with two movies, basically no one would ask him to make movies. The cycle of two movies would take about two to three years. If you fail, , it has no economic value. Without this value, it proves that you need to take a rest or change careers.

As someone who has been successful, maybe after a few years, you have a project that can convince others, and some people will invest in you. But if this project fails again, then I'm sorry, there are new people in Hollywood every year, from directors to actors. field.

The cake is only so big, and who eats it and who doesn't, except for those who make the rules, can only do it according to their own abilities.

When Brother Long returned to China to film movies, he couldn't accept being a supporting actor, nor could he accept being a green leaf for others. However, the works he was the main lead in no longer have a good market. The market has tested it, and it is not a failure, but it has never been the same again. As a Chinese actor, rather than letting the market eliminate you, it is better to leave early and retain a successful golden body. I will return to my motherland and continue to contribute to the film career.

The same goes for Director Wu. His failure left him with no market. Before he was dragged off the throne, he quickly came back. With the title of a great Hollywood director, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at all living beings with the attitude of a master. .

Wei Tao is now successful. He is a ladder for all Chinese film practitioners. Now, everyone wants to join him.
