Penguin's 20th anniversary annual meeting was held here, with a capacity of about a few thousand people, including family members, so the scale was quite large.
Because this year is quite special, the annual meeting lasted for several days, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, and finally ended with today's performance party.
"I originally wanted to ask you to give a speech on stage, but you didn't come."
Brother Xiao Ma sounded regretful, but Cao Xuan didn't care: "I'm not in the company that much, so I don't know what to talk about when I get on stage." "That makes you humble."
One of Penguin's founders smiled and said: "I don't know what happened later. We people still don't know how much you have contributed. Without you, Penguin wouldn't be where it is today."
"Yes, Mr. Cao should actually show his face. You are also part of Penguin history."
Although Penguin is now the largest Internet company in China and a well-known group in the world, Xiao Ma is one of the top business tycoons, and the other veterans are also industry tycoons and billionaires.
But they still respect Cao Xuan very much, not only because Cao Xuan has more wealth and status than them, but more importantly because of his contribution to Penguin.
Even Cao Xuan himself didn't know that he actually had a great influence on Penguin.
Needless to say, we invested the most critical financial support at the beginning of our business to help Penguin achieve profitability.
Later, he led the establishment of Penguin Blog and Weibo, which helped Penguin win the big cake of social platform, which is still one of Penguin's major ecosystems.
In terms of games, it is also the cooperation between Box Games and Penguin that allows Penguin to obtain the largest profit point and benefit endlessly. QQ Star Music and Penguin Star Video ensure Penguin’s entertainment strategic sector.
Many times they have made joint investments in other Internet companies, which has further expanded Penguin's territory...
Perhaps the latter part is a general trend, and even if Cao Xuan doesn't intervene, Penguin can do it, but Penguin's early advantage is indeed deeply influenced by Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan himself doesn't feel this because he knows the development of Penguin's original time and space, but Xiao Ma and others don't know that in their eyes, several key breakthroughs in Penguin's early stage were all guided and supported by Cao Xuan.
Brother Xiao Ma and several veterans have praised Cao Xuan more than once during interviews or industry analysis meetings.
Because of this, Cao Xuan is considered by many Internet tycoons to have a keen and advanced strategic vision.
Mr. Lei, Brother Dong, Jack Ma and other business tycoons have all communicated with Cao Xuan privately, hoping to get some "truth" from the business wizard Boss Cao.
It can be said that at least one-third of Cao Xuan's legendary filters in business were pioneered by Xiao Ma and others, and the rest are due to the aura of accumulation of amazing investments such as Stars Rising and Box Game.
It's not that Cao Xuan didn't explain it, but everyone regarded him as a humble, third-rate businessman who understood everything.
Even Mr. Wanda Wang and Sister Gree Dong have always set their sights on others, but they have expressed their admiration for Cao Xuan in public. - "Ms. Cao from Fanxing is the most humble and prudent person I have ever seen. This person does not take credit."
, I am not arrogant, I have a lot of gaps in my chest, but I am humble in everything I do, and my character and character make me feel inferior to myself.
I often tell my son that if he can learn Mr. Cao’s three-point essence, he will be successful in his life.”
——"Frankly speaking, Cao Xuan's business ability is not particularly strong, but he has two great advantages: he is good at managing people and has a very accurate vision.
Especially his accurate vision is definitely the first thing I have seen in my life. If he comes up with a project and says it is very promising and wants to invite me to cooperate, I will believe him without hesitation."
There are even rumors that many employees in the investment and financial industry use Cao Xuan's posters as portraits of the God of Wealth in order to get good luck or have more accurate vision.
Some big investors even joked that if Cao Xuan published an autobiography about music or film and television, the sales volume would be unimaginable, but if he published a business autobiography, sales volume cannot be guaranteed, but no matter how expensive it is, people will buy it.
There is no me in Shanghai, but my legend is everywhere!
This sentence vividly illustrates Cao Xuan's status in the business field. It is no exaggeration to say that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" released this year replaced Buffett with
Boss Cao, in the eyes of many people, is not disobedient at all.
In fact, since this movie was produced by Fanxing, the director made a lot of references to Cao Xuan. For example, he changed Wang Duoyu's hairstyle into a classic look from Cao Xuan's concerts.
The movie also added a segment of the singer's private concert. Wang Duoyu initially wanted to invite the biggest singer. "If you want to invite, just invite the most expensive one. That Cao or something, ask how much the appearance fee is, let him do it."
.”
"People have retired."
"Retire? 10 million per game, ask him if he will retire? 10 million is not enough, 20 million, 30 million, this guy is not enough."
"Mr. Wang, I received a reply."
"How did you say, how much did it cost?"
"He thinks your inheritance is too small and makes you run away like crazy."
Later, the director felt that it was a bit awkward to include this part in the main film, and it affected the overall smoothness of Wang Duoyu's Money Clears the Road, so he changed it to an easter egg, and because of the actor Chang Yuan's appearance, he chose a certain Wang.
This is not the first time that Happy Twist has played with Cao Xuan's jokes. In the previous "Charlotte Troubles", it was Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou who were madly cut off by Charlotte.
When Charlotte attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, she not only sang "Meet in 1998" with Wang Fei, but also sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" solo. Xiao Zhou and Cao Xuan also personally participated in guest appearances in "Charlotte's Troubles".
Xiao Zhou was beaten on the set of "The Voice of China". What's interesting is that because the copyright of the program and the film are produced by Fanxing, the venue and the big names are all real.
Xiao Zhou happened to be the mentor of that season. He gave up his position as mentor to Shen Teng, changed his clothes and went on stage to perform.
Cao Xuan recorded a scene alone. It was probably during the rise of Charlotte. Cao Xuan, who was wearing a cheap suit and handing out flyers on the street, looked at the big-screen Charlotte billboard with envy.
Up to now, no matter how Cao Xuan quibbles and denies it, it is already recognized that he is one of the richest people in the world. Not only the people in the country understand this, but even the whole world thinks so.
Japan considers Boss Cao to be "the real richest man in Asia", Americans claim that Cao Xuan is "China's Bill Gates", and some people keep up with the times and call Cao Xuan "China's Musk" or "China's Bezos"
].
European media calls Cao Xuan the "richest star". Cao Xuan is very popular in South Korea, not only because of his achievements in the entertainment industry, but more importantly because he has become a "super chaebol" from scratch.
It is rumored that someone in South Korea once wanted to adapt a TV series "Entertainment Chaebol Tycoon" based on Cao Xuan, but it was later stopped due to various reasons.
For a moment, Cao Xuan understood Jack Ma's state of mind. Wealth is like smoke, how can it be added to me!
Of course, this was only for a moment. When the tension subsided, he was still willing to immerse himself in the happiness of the rich... Cao Xuan's position was in the chairman's seat in the middle of the first row, next to Brother Ma,
It can also be regarded as the C position in the auditorium.
He asked curiously: "I heard that Brother Ma also prepared a program. Where is the program list? Let me take a look." "You don't have to look at it, you will know it in a minute."
Brother Xiaoma was mysterious and mysterious, and Cao Xuan didn't care. Everyone present was his friends, so he was in a quite relaxed state. He was eating nut snacks on his seat, and from time to time he turned around to chat with a few other elders and reminisce about old times.
It is different from the annual meeting of Stars, and may be slightly smaller than Penguin in scale, but the performance lineup is definitely at the Spring Festival Gala level, and even the Spring Festival Gala may not be comparable to it.
Especially last year's 20th anniversary of Starry Stars, which was really crowded with superstars and big names. Compared with it, the Spring Festival Gala pales in comparison.
At least two of the four kings who could not easily be invited to the Spring Festival Gala came that day. Xiao Hei Fatty and Yu Jian were not able to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but they also came that day. The new comedy force Happy Mahua sent out a ceiling lineup, and even the European and American A-listers came.
.
What's even more impressive is the number of business tycoons and celebrities present. Just a list is enough to make the outside world talk about it for a long time.
In comparison, Penguin's 20th anniversary can even be said to be shabby.
However, the positioning and situation of the two parties are different. Fanxing Entertainment naturally has this condition, and it is interested in marketing and expanding its influence, so it organizes special events and invites guests and friends. Penguin is an Internet company and believes in
He is low-key and practical and prefers to celebrate within the company.
If it weren't for Cao Xuan's special situation, many outsiders might not know about Penguin's 20th anniversary celebration.
Because of this, even though countless netizens have complained, Penguin did not broadcast the annual meeting live, and the company's video recording was not intended to be released to the public. The outside world could only rely on various spoilers from on-site employees to obtain information.
[Let’s start, what’s Cao Xuan’s show?] [It’s not in the program list exposed online]
[It seems to be a surprise program, it should be in the middle and rear parts, please wait patiently] [Not to mention, these hosts are very good and presentable]
[Just kidding, there are tens of thousands of employees selected, and some of them seem to have graduated from a major.] [This song is good, and it’s a bit interesting to sing]
[Has anyone secretly taken some photos of Cao Xuan? I’d like to see them] [Only the profile and back of the head]
[Haha, Cao Xuan shared the melon seeds with Brother Xiao Ma, turned his head and talked, and he knocked it.]
[Is there any high-resolution picture? I want to cut it out to show my love.]
[Don’t be too outrageous upstairs]
[Brother Xiao Ma has withdrawn and seems to be going on the show]
[Holy shit, they are actually imitating the singing and dancing of the Rocket Girls girl group, it’s so annoying] [They are all Penguin senior executives, and Ponyboy personally leads the team]
[Damn, what the hell are you dancing? What little ponyboy, oh my god, you dance so well to make your debut] [Why are you wearing a T-shirt? Shouldn’t girl groups wear skirts? (Squinting)]
[Destroy the character, don’t they all say that Brother Ma is a technical geek, so unrestrained]
[In order to save the company, Mr. Ma chose to become an idol. The inspiration came, and I want to open a book to debut as the boss.」】【I give you the pen, write quickly】
[Squat down, monthly tickets are ready]
[Hahaha, look at the picture I posted. Although other people also laughed, they at least restrained themselves. Only Cao Xuan laughed without any scruples, banging the table and laughing wildly.]
[I understand, it’s like I saw my brothers wearing women’s clothing]
[Hahaha, Boss Cao didn’t arrange a show yet, so he just called it "Creation Trainee", and called Xiao Ma, Mr. Lei, and Jack Ma to learn how to sing and dance, and finally debuted as a group]
[There’s no need to compete, Cao Cao is definitely the one] [No, I want to see him as a mentor]
[A group of sunset red superstars with wealth and billions]
[If fans of this show vote, will they give away a house?][
The Internet was abuzz because of Xiao Ma's show, and Cao Xuan in the audience laughed from beginning to end.
He seems to understand the reason why the Penguin Annual Meeting cannot be broadcast live. The death of Reuters and the death of the live broadcast agency are two different levels.
After another show, Brother Ma and others came back dressed up. Cao Xuan couldn't stop smiling. "As soon as you dance to this song, it will become valuable."
Brother Xiao Ma was relatively calm, but an executive next to him couldn't help complaining: "Forget it, I don't know who came up with the bad idea. If there is an employee vote, the program executive with the highest turnout will perform, and the result will change."
It became a girl group dance."
Cao Xuan immediately understood that this kind of voting had good intentions, but it underestimated everyone's bad taste.
For example, in the subsequent aircraft carrier naming event, the number one on the list turned out to be "Pippi Shrimp". Fortunately, it was a spontaneous vote by netizens, otherwise I don't know if it would count.
And this kind of voting within Penguin is not intended to give employees the opportunity to improve their senior management. If it didn't turn into pole dancing, it's probably because the employees restrained themselves.
However, Xiao Ma kept his word and actually danced on stage. It was embarrassing, but the effect was pretty good.
This also reminded Cao Xuan, Fanxing and other companies of some celebration activities, and they must not engage in similar activities like this.
Otherwise, if I give him another song like "Pinch Your Big Hip" or "Learning to Meow," Cao Xuan will sing it or not... Cao Xuan patted Brother Ma on the shoulder comfortingly.
He didn't stay too long, it was his turn soon.
Since it was a surprise program, the host did not announce the curtain, so many people thought it was a normal program.
, about twenty or thirty employees lined up on the stage and sang "Proud Boy" along with the accompaniment.
This song comes from Cao Xuan's last Chinese album "Xuan", and later became the theme song of the animation "That Year of the Rabbit". It is a popular and popular inspirational song.
"In the beginning, when I was an innocent and crying child, ten years later I finally understood
As long as you try your best, there is no need to fail.
Cao Xuan has a nickname called "College Entrance Examination/Postgraduate Entrance Examination/Chicken Blood Song God" because he has many inspirational songs and has accompanied many students through the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination stages.
Therefore, he is very popular among college students or people with higher education, because many people listen to his songs and pass the exam.
"Proud Boy" is a well-known song in Cao Xuan's inspirational song list. There are numerous highly educated talents among Penguin employees, especially young people, and many of them can sing this song.
So when they heard the familiar melody and singing, many audience members also hummed along, and soon the whole audience started to sing.
This is also the norm when performing Cao Xuan's classic songs. The singing is so popular among the people that it often triggers choruses, and there are countless relevant clips and famous scenes on the Internet.
But this time, the famous scene they encountered was more special.
I have been hurt and shed tears
So what if you go crazy for your dreams this time?
Everyone's singing skills ranged from high to low. The previous main song had a soothing melody and was easy for everyone to sing, but the subsequent high notes were obviously not for everyone.
Most of them were just joining in the fun, and the powerful chorus just now became a little too thin in the blink of an eye. At this moment, a passionate and powerful voice suddenly broke in, piercing the rocks and cracking the clouds, shocking the earth. "Run, proud young man.
There is a firm belief in the young heart
The performance staff on the stage made way, and Cao Xuan, dressed in black, appeared in the middle of the stage. All the staff and audience were surprised and delighted, and cheered excitedly.
Cao Xuan held the microphone and waved his left hand, gesturing for everyone to sing along. When he reappeared on the stage, he smiled wildly, and his voice shook the sky.
"Burn it, I will sing the song of proud and passionate victory again
Maybe it was due to the environment, or maybe it was the filter used by Cao Xuan to reappear on stage.
For some reason, everyone at the scene felt their scalps go numb when they heard Cao Xuan's singing. They were all involuntarily affected by the singing. Open your mouths and sing along with Cao Xuan's heart.
