Li Zekai on the side knew very well that whether it was Xie Tingfeng or Zhang Bozhi, they endorsed Xu Yiyang for free mainly because they hoped that he could remember them as a favor.
However, Li Zekai was worried that Xu Yiyang had remembered the favor incorrectly.
He didn't want Xu Yiyang to thank these two people, he wanted Xu Yiyang to thank himself.
Therefore, he immediately took out two gift boxes, handed them to Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bozhi respectively, and said seriously: "Two of you, thank you very much for your support to Mr. Xu. This is my little thought, please accept it."
The two thanked them and opened it to see that they were two sets of car keys.
Xie Tingfeng’s is a set of Ferrari keys;
Cecilia Cheung's is a set of Rolls-Royce car keys.
The two of them were flattered and thought it was too valuable and wanted to decline, but Li Zekai said seriously: "Mr. Xu is a good friend of mine. If you endorse his brand, you are endorsing my brand. These two gifts are just a gift." Think I gave it to you on his behalf."
Xu Yiyang on the side knew in his heart that Li Zekai had obtained the equity pledge agreement and still helped him like this because he must have wanted to have a good relationship with him.
As for why, Xu Yiyang felt that he was afraid that after getting his shares, he would no longer care about Tencent, so he wanted to use a favor to force himself to continue serving Tencent, right
It seems that Superboy also has his own feelings and thinks too much sometimes.
…
Xu Yiyang's endorsement contracts with Hsieh Tingfeng and Cecilia Cheung do not have a starting date, because his current number of stores is not enough, so he will actually suffer a loss if he promotes them immediately.
So he thought, wait for a while, and once he makes money from stock trading, he will immediately invest tens of millions in SuperX and open dozens of stores across the country.
The store started to be renovated, and I immediately asked Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bozhi to go to the mainland to shoot advertisements, and then put out TV advertisements before the store opened to publicize it vigorously. When the popularity started and the store opened, it was just in time to reap the results.
After receiving the five-year endorsement contracts from Xie Tingfeng and Cecilia Cheung, Xu Yiyang immediately called Li Xuan and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, how are you doing lately?"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I've been crazy busy lately. All three stores of Zhonghai have opened, selling 6,000 units a day. Tianyi is selecting a location in Hangzhou, and I'm following up to expand production capacity."
After speaking, she asked: "Mr. Xu, how was your exchange in Hong Kong?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I have found two SuperX spokespersons for you, and the five-year endorsement contract has been signed."
"Really?!" Li Xuan asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for? A Hong Kong star?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang said: "One is named Xie Tingfeng and the other is named Zhang Bozhi."
"Oh my God!" Li Xuan shouted excitedly: "Really or not? They are the most popular golden boys and girls now! Especially Xie Tingfeng, they became very popular after the Spring Festival Gala!"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Of course it's true. When did I lie to you? The contract has been signed, but the date has not been set yet. When I go back and get money for you, you can expand the number of stores to dozens."
"Dozens?" Li Xuan exclaimed, "Doesn't that cost tens of millions?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I tentatively plan to invest 30 million in the early stage, and the money can be received as soon as April."
"Oh my god... so many..." Li Xuan was dumbfounded and blurted out: "Mr. Xu, have you made a fortune in Hong Kong? Investment plus endorsement fees, this is a lot of money!"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I made a little fortune."
With that said, Xu Yiyang added: "You should seize the time to expand the team in Ningcheng, quickly expand our product line, add some other clothing accessories, and then hand over the production process to others, and turn to brand promotion yourself. and overall control.”
Li Xuan asked him: "Mr. Xu, when are you going to start advertising?"
Xu Yiyang said: "When I return to China Overseas next month, I will first find a reliable advertising company and contact Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bozhi to shoot commercials. You also need to know the advertising costs of well-known TV stations such as CCTV and Xiangnan Satellite TV."
Xu Yiyang believes that by seizing Nvidia's market this time, he can earn at least 500 to 600 million U.S. dollars, or even more. At that time, a random amount of 10 million U.S. dollars will be enough to start SuperX.
Later, if I have enough funds to support myself, I won't need to start a franchise at all, and all operations will be operated as a direct store.
In addition to jeans, which also follow the classic style, other clothing copies ZARA's model of multiple styles and rapid updates. I believe it will soon become a well-known brand throughout the country.
That night, Xu Yiyang stayed in front of the computer, preparing to continue buying Nvidia after the market opened.
He had completely forgotten the task that Mr. Hu had given him to prepare for the exchange meeting.
After the Nasdaq opened, Nvidia's stock price immediately began to fall.
It fell all the way from 31.3 to 28.9.
Many large orders were being sold off, which gave Xu Yiyang the opportunity to take over, so on this day, he invested all the remaining money in Nvidia.
The average price paid is $29.6.
At this point, all the US dollars Xu Yiyang collected had been spent.
Counting double the leverage, the total equity invested by Xu Yiyang was US$560 million, of which US$280 million was financing from securities firms.
The closing price of Nvidia that day was US$28.9, and Xu Yiyang held a total of 185,506 positions, with a total market value of 536 million.
Currently losing almost $24 million...
If it were anyone else, they would probably be in a panic at this time. They would lose almost 200 million yuan when they first started. This is really faster than burning money.
However, Xu Yiyang is not worried at all. It doesn't matter if he loses a little. As long as he doesn't plummet 50% all the way, he won't be able to liquidate his position. He can just wait for the stock price to climb up.
Just the next morning, Li Zekai called him and asked with concern: "Mr. Xu, have you started trading stocks?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "It's fired, I'm all in."
As the son of the richest man in China, Li Zekai was horrified when he heard that he put all 276 million US dollars into the stock market in one go.
In fact, the richer the people, the less they use this retail method to speculate in stocks.
Like the Li family, apart from their own Yangtze River Holdings, other stock investments are either directly invested in the primary market or operated through funds.
Funds are run by professional managers who generally use professional eyes to analyze the market and international conditions, then select industries and multiple stocks, and then match positions, striving to achieve the best balance between multiple stocks in the same fund. , can protect each other and reduce risks.
Therefore, throwing billions of Hong Kong dollars directly into the secondary market for stock trading is simply retarded or reckless in Li Zekai's eyes.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Did he lose money or make money?"
Xu Yiyang said truthfully: "I lost a little bit."
Li Zekai coughed and asked curiously: "How much is a little bit?"
Xu Yiyang said: "24 million US dollars, okay, okay."
Li Zekai couldn't help but be shocked, 24 million US dollars! This is HK$185 million...
I managed to get into two mid-mountain villas in one night, and I actually thought it was okay...
This Xu Yiyang is really a god...
But he was quite happy, because he felt that the more Xu Yiyang lost, the smaller the chance of redeeming the pledged shares, and the higher the chance that he would get the pledged shares.
…
At noon, Wu Zongxian arrived in Hong Kong.
I heard that Xu Yiyang was Li Zekai's friend. He took it very seriously and flew over with all the information on Alpha Music.
Xu Yiyang took Fang Junhui and had a meal with him.
Later, he discovered the names of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan in the list of intangible assets brought by Wu Zongxian.
At the same time, he also discovered "JAY" in the copyright list, which is in preparation. The expected release date is November this year.
Xu Yiyang read this silently and said, "There are very few artists in your company. I think they mainly make money by selling songs."
"Yes." Wu Zongxian nodded seriously and said, "In fact, my main business has never been in this. My main business is busy with my own entertainment career."
"Hmm." Xu Yiyang scanned the information, pointed to Jay Chou's name, and asked, "Are you planning to release a record to this Jay Chou? Who is he? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Wu Zongxian said hurriedly: "Jie Lun, let me tell you, Jie Lun is a genius, a singer-songwriter, he is very good at writing songs."
Xu Yiyang nodded and asked: "Are you handsome? How do you compare with Wang Leehong?"
Wu Zongxian rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "It's really incomparable with Li Hong. There are not many handsome guys like Li Hong in Taiwan, but Jie Lun is mainly talented, and his songs are very good." personality."
Xu Yiyang said: "Wang Leehong is also a singer-songwriter. He is also very talented and handsome. It may be difficult for Jay Chou to get ahead."
Wu Zongxian thought for a while and said: "How should I put it, I think there is still some hope. Of course, I don't expect him to be as popular as Li Hong!"
Xu Yiyang put down all the information and said: "Your company has no core competitiveness, no outstanding singers and no copyrights. Five million US dollars is definitely a price to rip off, and I am also a rip off."
Wu Zongxian was a little embarrassed. He also knew that the price of five million US dollars was too ridiculous. His company was simply not worth that much money.
Moreover, he is not very optimistic about Jay Chou and does not think he has a chance to become a first-line singer.
Therefore, my Alpha music actually doesn’t have much development prospects.
In addition, with the Rolling Stones as a big brother in Taiwan, it is difficult for him to sign capable musicians, and it is difficult for the company to find a breakthrough.
So, actually selling it for two million dollars is pretty good.
Of course, he hopes to raise US$1 million in cash from Xu Yiyang at a valuation of US$2 million. With US$1 million, he can discover more new star singers. After all, he is currently hosting a variety show. , I often come into contact with some new people, and it is easy to discover some rough gems.
Looking at Xu Yiyang, this young man could become friends with Li Zekai at such a young age. He was probably not the kind of victim he wanted, so he tried to speak: "Mr. Xu, actually, I would rather pay him three million US dollars for Financing at the valuation, exchanging 50% of the shares for US$1.5 million.”
Xu Yiyang said: "It's impossible. Do you know what kind of companies investors are most afraid of investing in?"
