Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh gambling ship set sail
Time goes back not long ago.
With the conclusion of the "Running Brothers" movie, Lin Chen's plan has successfully achieved its set goal.
A big movie called "Running Brothers" brought Lin Chen a lot of benefits.
The first benefit is that it naturally fulfills Lin Chen's original intention of making this movie, which is to make Dili famous.
Along with her outstanding performance in the movie, Dili, as a new guest on the show, attracted the attention of many people with her distinctive appearance.
Although it can't be said that she became an instant hit, at least she has received many advertising offers, and Lin Chen believes that after "Story of Yanxi Palace" is released, Dili's popularity will no longer be doubted.
In addition, this movie also made Lin Chen a small profit. However, the investment of tens of millions, the final return was more than 400 million, a profit of more than 500%. Looking at the profit rate of return alone
, no wonder there will be a lot of hot money invested in the movie market in the future. The rate of return for an excellent movie is really amazing.
In addition to money, Lin Chen's reputation also spread throughout China because of the turmoil caused by Gu Luolan before the movie was released. Now he can no longer be regarded as an unknown person.
Although he has not officially appeared in public yet, Lin Chen's name is already familiar to everyone.
However, Lin Chen was not happy about this.
He takes things like reputation relatively lightly, and making money in a low-key manner is important.
It's a pity that because of Gu Luolan, he has been pushed to the forefront. It will be difficult to keep a low profile and pretend to be cool in the future.
People around Lin Chen would often tease him about this.
For example, on this day, Lin Chen received a call from Zhao Wenxuan in Nandu.
"Hey! Brother Lin! Our famous celebrity, are you free recently?"
"Brother Zhao, I'm going to hang up."
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, no more joking, I have something to ask you."
"What happened?"
"Brother Lin, do you still remember the gambling boat I mentioned to you before? The boat has finally been finalized and will sail at the end of this month!"
Gambling on boats?
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
Previous memories come to mind.
Zhao Wenxuan had mentioned to him at the beginning that the night banquet club had joined forces with several casinos in Tai O and some members to plan to build a gambling boat to hold an event.
When Zhao Wenxuan first approached Lin Chen, he hoped that Lin Chen would accompany him on the gambling boat and then kill everyone on the boat.
But later, due to various reasons, the gambling boat trip at the night party club never took place.
Lin Chen thought it might have been cancelled, but he didn't expect that the ship was really about to set sail.
"Are you planning to participate?" Lin Chen asked.
"Of course!" Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Brother Lin, don't you watch football? There will be the Champions League at the end of this month! If there is football, there will be gambling. If you ask me, it is really a right bet to postpone the ship. When the time comes, we will
Wouldn’t it be nice to bet on the boat and watch the game at the same time?”
Hearing Zhao Wenxuan talking about ancient prose excitedly, Lin Chen also knew that he really wanted to go on the boat, so Lin Chen said: "Okay, if Brother Zhao is interested, then I will accompany him. It's just Zhao Wenxuan."
Brother, does my identity really not matter? They won’t ban me from gambling on the gambling boat, right?”
"It's okay." Zhao Wenxuan said, "Today is different from the past. Originally, the main attraction of the gambling ship was the casino on the ship. If your identity is exposed, Brother Lin, you may be banned from entering, but now the main event has changed.
Now that it has become the Champions League, there is no blacklist for betting on football in this world."
"Haha, it seems like this." Lin Chen laughed. In this case, is it really possible for him to participate in this boat gambling?
Recently, Lin Chen has spent a lot of money here, on the other side of the ocean, and on the island country. The money spent is still a long-term investment, and there is no profit in the short term, especially those who came back from the island country before.
Professor Chen Xiao's investment far exceeded his imagination. The initial investment in the laboratory alone cost Lin Chen hundreds of millions. This was the cost of cooperating with a top university in the East China Sea.
In addition, the Chen Yun Charitable Foundation seemed to have opened the floodgates. Zhou Ruoyun's money was used as much as running water, so much so that Lin Chen couldn't hold on anymore.
Going to the gambling boat to make some money this time, I think it should be able to alleviate a lot of difficulties.
"I understand, then I will participate when the time comes."
"Okay, Brother Lin, you can come directly to Nandu when the time comes, and I will take you on the boat together."
Then, after the two discussed for a few more words, they hung up the phone.
Lin Chen immediately started making arrangements.
This time when we go to gamble on a boat, the boat will sail into the high seas. At that time, it will be very inconvenient to communicate with the mainland. Some things must be arranged in advance.
In the office, Liu Xing from the venture capital department sat opposite Lin Chen.
"Liu Xing, I heard that the acquisitions of several companies did not go smoothly?"
"Yes, Director Lin." Liu Xing said with regret: "Most of the acquisitions and shareholdings of the companies you mentioned at the meeting at the beginning of the year went smoothly, but there were also a few that had a good conversation at the beginning, but later failed.
Rejected us."
"I asked around, and it seems that someone intervened in front of us."
"What company? Who is competing with us?"
"Ou Zhifei is responsible for the YY era, which is the YY live broadcast company. His lack of experience has allowed his opponents to take the lead. As for the competitors, what we have found out now seems to be Penguin. There may be other capital, but Penguin
The company has been able to determine it."
Is YY live streaming?
Lin Chen asked: "What about the other ones? Qidian? Youku? Meituan? And ByteDance?"
"They have already reached an agreement. Qidian has been fully acquired by us, Youku has acquired 30% of the shares in accordance with activation, Meituan has bought 20% of the shares, and we have also obtained a controlling stake in ByteDance."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to YY Live Broadcast, those companies obviously had a higher status in his heart.
After all, in this era, due to the limitation of network bandwidth, the live broadcast industry has just begun. It doesn’t matter if YY Live cannot acquire it. He already has Station B and will directly use Station B as the basis to develop his own live broadcast.
There are no problems with the platform either.
"I see."
When Liu Xing saw Lin Chen nodding, he hesitated and then said: "Director Lin, I actually have something to do here, which is about funds."
"We have talked about a lot of investment and acquisition projects recently, and the venture capital department's funds have almost been used up. I went to Manager Tang, but she said that the company's funds have been a little tight recently..."
"You don't have to worry about this. The funds you need will be available by the beginning of next month at the latest."
"Director Lin, what do you mean..."
"You will know by then. I am going out for a trip next. You and Manager Tang will keep an eye on the company for me."
"Okay, no problem." Liu Xing assured, patting his chest.
