It only took Gu Shouyi three days to get through the relationship between all parties.
"Mr. Chen, fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. The syndicated loan for Cao Cao Group has been formally negotiated.
We, Universe Bank, take 40% of the loan share alone.
The rest will be divided among six companies including China Everbright and China Merchants Bank.
The interest rate will be as I told you, bullet loan, and the principal will be paid in one lump sum after three years.
As collateral are Cao Cao Century Building and Baolong Building, as well as half of Cao Cao’s shares. Is Mr. Chen okay?"
Gu Shouyi looked a little tired, having been busy with this matter for the past few days.
Fortunately, Century Tower and Powerlong Tower under the name of Chen Dongcheng have very clean property rights and have no mortgage history.
It is also a very good collateral for this consortium.
The market value of Guangshi Century Building and Powerlong Building reached 4.2 billion.
In addition, Cao controls half of the shares, and the combined value must exceed the amount of their loan.
This means that the risk of lending money to Chen Dongcheng will not be very high.
What's more, the interest rate on this syndicated loan is very impressive.
Compared with the Libor interest rate, the comprehensive income can reach 380 basis points.
Chen Dongcheng read the loan agreement and was very satisfied: "I have no problem."
Once the one billion US dollars arrives, Chen Dongcheng can do even more things.
Gu Shouyi reminded: "Mr. Chen, the authorities have recently begun to tighten foreign exchange controls.
It is best to use this loan to invest domestically or to develop your company's business.
It must not be used to invest in real estate overseas or acquire foreign companies."
The superiors were afraid that these rich people would transfer assets one after another, so they specially issued instructions to banks such as Universal Bank to supervise the flow of loans.
"I understand that this money will not go abroad."
Chen Dongcheng happily promised that if he wanted to invest abroad, he could simply use the money settled by Tottenham.
I can't afford to use this loan and take such a big risk.
"That's good."
Gu Shouyi also breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Dongcheng really used money to invest overseas, he would also have to bear the responsibility.
Chen Dongcheng handed the loan agreement to Li Changqing and others for review. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed the agreement.
Gu Shouyi shook hands with Chen Dongcheng and went back to report.
The loan will be officially transferred to Mr. Chen’s ICBC account three days later.
Mr. Chen, who was originally a little strapped for funds, is about to get richer again.
As soon as Gu Shouyi left, Chen Dongcheng rushed to the CCTV building without stopping.
Wu Qiang was very busy, but he still found time to come to the reception room and meet Chen Dongcheng.
Before he was called away to do his work, he told a new male intern named Ren Bo in the station and told him to entertain Mr. Chen.
Ren Bo was a little nervous and kept pouring tea for Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen was a little helpless: "Okay, I drank too much. What should I do if I go to the toilet at the beginning of the party?"
Ren Bo scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, I have seen you in Fortune magazine before. You are my idol."
"Idol?"
Chen Dongcheng smiled and shook his head: "I am not worthy of this term. At most, I have a little talent for business."
"I'm not lying to you. I'm a few years older than you, but my grades are still not as good as yours.
Even this opportunity as an intern was arranged for me by someone from my family."
Ren Bo may have thought that Mr. Chen was more approachable, so he had the courage to talk to him.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and patted Ren Bo on the shoulder: "Your family can arrange for you to intern here, which is an opportunity that ordinary people can only dream of."
Ren Bo pursed his lips. How many people want to join CCTV every year?
Even an intern's spot is very precious.
Chen Dongcheng was bored and asked Ren Bo: "I heard that there is a tape prepared for the Spring Festival Gala every year?"
"Yes, it has been recorded this year. It is a means to reduce accidents during the live broadcast."
Ren Bo enthusiastically explained to Mr. Chen: "Just like the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games, the broadcast tapes were prepared in advance. If there is an accident during the live broadcast, there should be a remedy."
Mr. Chen asked curiously: "Wouldn't that be a gangster?"
"Usually not. I heard from an old man in the station that the tape preparation is usually seven seconds faster than the live broadcast.
If something goes wrong during the live broadcast, the camera will first cut to the audience, and the control room will immediately activate the backup tape.
When the camera returns to the stage, it has actually become a recorded program on the tape.
Since the preparation tape in the control room is played 7 seconds in advance, there will be a certain delay in the live broadcast, but the whole process is seamless."
Ren Bo paused for a moment and said helplessly: "That's what I say, but there will always be some problems in actual operation, which is inevitable."
Chen Dongcheng suddenly realized that no wonder he always felt weird when watching Liu Gan perform magic tricks before.
The actors' clothes are different in the replay and live broadcast.
Follow Ren Bo around casually, except for the dressing rooms of relatively big-name celebrities, you are not allowed to enter.
While some dancers were putting on makeup backstage, Ren Bo was very relaxed and led Mr. Chen to explore the secrets.
Others respect Ren Bo very much when they see him. If he can hang a staff sign in front of him, even celebrities will not easily provoke him.
"Mr. Chen, let's have a quick meal first, and then you can take care of your privacy for a while, and then I'll take you to the studio."
Ren Bo thought carefully and swiped his card to treat Mr. Chen to a staff meal.
CCTV’s staff meals are quite sumptuous.
After eating, Ren Bo took Chen Dongcheng around the neighborhood. There were many reporters outside the CCTV building.
Ren Bo shrugged, not surprised by the reporters gathered outside.
"They are quite pitiful. They still have to squat here to take pictures on New Year's Eve. From the first rehearsal, these reporters have been working hard."
Chen Dongcheng hoped that if Cao Cao had not paid to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala this year, he would not bother to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
But all the money has been spent, and Mr. Chen has to show his face to make sure the money is not lost.
Back at the CCTV building, it was almost time for the party to start.
The actors and staff inside were all in a hurry and wanted to run.
The two went to the toilet to run water, and then Mr. Chen came to Studio No. 1.
The Spring Festival Gala is recorded here every year, which has become a tradition.
Ren Bo whispered to Chen Dongcheng: "Just wait for a while. I'll leave first. If you need anything, please call me at any time."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After Chen Dongcheng waited for Ren Bo to leave, he watched the actors come on stage one after another to make final preparations before the live broadcast.
At eight o'clock sharp, several hosts finished their opening speeches, and the Spring Festival Gala officially began.
The experience of watching the Spring Festival Gala in person is still very special.
Mr. Chen quietly looked around and found that the people sitting in the VIP seats were all elderly people.
There are very few audience members his age who can sit in the VIP seats.
Mr. Chen was dressed very formally today, a black alpaca suit cut by Berry himself, paired with a festive red hand-woven scarf.
Anyone with a little knowledge of goods can guess at a glance that Chen Dongcheng's outfit is expensive.
Sitting among the crowd, he is 1.85 meters tall and has a dignified posture.
His handsome face has attracted the attention of a few young girls.
Mr. Chen's lips curved slightly, and he sat in the VIP seat, enjoying the performance on stage at leisure.
The live broadcast camera even scanned Mr. Chen many times.
Every time the camera cuts to Mr. Chen, the eyes of the audience in front of the TV will light up.
Scanning once is an accident, but scanning eight times in a row obviously has special meaning.
Mr. Chen has been on camera so many times, so the one billion spent is quite worth it.
Almost as the Spring Festival Gala was going on, an increasingly hot topic suddenly appeared on the Internet.
#General Manager Chen exploded!#
I don’t know when it started, but this topic has become more and more popular, and it has even become a hot search topic.
Some fans even thoughtfully took screenshots, and they are all high-definition and large.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough for these fans to set it as a screensaver and lick it three times a day.
Mr. Chen's outfit completely fits all fangirl's fantasies about a domineering president.
In particular, the Spring Festival Gala program team provided several close-ups, which made the fans even more addicted.
In addition to Mr. Chen’s unexpected popularity, Cao Cao Pay is even more popular.
Three days in advance, the Spring Festival Gala program team began to interact with Cao Cao Pay on CCTV.
When the party started, the host used his mobile phone to interact with the audience many times.
The audience is urged to scan the QR code at the top of the screen and grab red envelopes with relatives and friends around them.
When it comes to grabbing red envelopes, we Chinese people have never convinced anyone.
It’s not a hassle to download the software. With the education of Alipay and WeChat, it’s not a trivial matter to bind a card.
During the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast, the host mentioned Cao Cao's payment the most times among all sponsors.
The sponsorship fee of 300 million naturally covers all aspects.
Of the 700 million cash red envelopes, 100 million is taxable, and the actual red envelopes for the audience to grab are only 600 million.
The number of downloads, number of card bindings, and number of daily active users of Cao Cao Pay are all increasing.
As the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast progresses, it has grown exponentially.
By ten o'clock, the number of registered users of Cao Cao Pay exceeded 250 million!
Daily active users exceed 210 million, and the number of linked cards exceeds 100 million!
According to the current user acquisition algorithm used by Internet companies, if you want to attract a new user, the customer acquisition cost must be close to 50 yuan.
This wave of sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala is a great value.
Gu Shouyi, who has been paying close attention to Cao Cao's payment data, immediately cheered when he received the screenshot of user data sent to him.
"Lao Gu, why are you crazy?"
Gu Shouyi's wife was startled. Gu Shouyi, who was usually steady, rarely had such moments.
"It's okay. It's up to you. I'm going back to the study first."
Gu Shouyi thought about calling Mr. Chen and suddenly slapped his forehead.
He almost forgot that Mr. Chen is currently in the Spring Festival Gala studio hall and cannot answer the phone.
But I still have to thank you. I edited a WeChat message and sent it to Mr. Chen.
In this cooperation, Gu Shouyi once again made the right bet.
Caocao Payment has so many users, and its start is much smoother than other financial companies.
At Cao Cao Financial, Zhu Zijing and some of his employees chose to stay at the headquarters.
In the entire Century Building, only their floor was as bright as day.
But compared to the soaring number of users, this hard work is nothing.
Later, when Mr. Chen was in a good mood, he gave them a few more months of salary as a bonus. Wouldn't that be so satisfying?
"I have sent the data to Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen can't see his phone now.
We continue to upgrade the server and must not let the background crash.
At the same time, we are preparing the next round of publicity plans, launching financial products, and launching loan functions.”
Zhu Zijing issued instructions in an orderly manner, and the employees who stayed behind in the company had a clear division of labor under his instructions.
With Cao Cao Pay’s sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala, WeChat Pay and Alipay must be the most panicked.
Another Pearl Harbor attack quietly took place, but this time it was two giants that were attacked.
Anyone who understands Cao Cao's ambition is a little frightened.
If you dare to compete with those two families for the cake, Cao Cao is too brave to pay!
