Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Made a Fortune
 

“`

Jiang Yuheng: Is this company located in the capital?

Xu Yang: Yes, I’m in the capital right now.

Wang Xiaocong: Holy shit, how did you end up over there?

Xu Yang: I came here for some business and happened to come across this investment opportunity.

Su Wenbin: Xu Yang, from what you’re saying, you didn’t know about it before you went there, yet you still managed to find an investment opportunity. I’m really impressed.

Jiang Yuheng: That investment insight is truly unmatched.

Wang Xiaocong: To paraphrase a saying, it’s not that there are no investment opportunities under the sky, but rather a lack of eyes to find them. Xu Yang has such eyes. You can’t help but admire him.

Xu Yang: Alright, get ready. It’s best if you arrive before noon tomorrow, and we’ll sign the contract at the company in the afternoon.

All three, Wang Xiaocong included, replied that it would be no problem.

Leaving WeChat, Xu Yang called Ma Yangrong, the Investment General Manager of Yang Xin, asking him to bring the legal and financial teams and take a flight over today.

That evening, Ma Yangrong and his team arrived and checked into the same hotel as Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were not staying at the Zhou residence.

The next day at noon, the three people, including Wang Xiaocong, arrived.

At half-past two in the afternoon, the group reached the Fashion Group.

After the legal and financial teams had checked the accounts and found no issues, they drafted a contract.

Each of the four people invested two hundred million, acquiring a five percent stake each.

After the contract was signed, the money would be transferred to Fashion Group’s account within three working days.

That evening, Wei Hailin, the Chairman of Fashion Group, along with senior managers, hosted a dinner for Xu Yang and his group of four.

To be honest, Wei Hailin hadn’t expected Xu Yang to bring such influential investors.

Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin, he didn’t know, but Wang Xiaocong, he surely recognized.

With Wang Xiaocong investing, it was akin to having the support of Wan Da Group, which meant smoother future development for the Group.

The next day, Wang Xiaocong, Jiang Yuheng, and Su Wenbin took a flight back.

Xu Yang hadn’t left yet; he was to stay in the capital for two more days.

Zhao Hai was to remain in the capital to meet friends and relatives of Zhou Ruyan.

Because this time, it was pretty much an introduction before marriage, letting all friends and relatives know.

You couldn’t just notify friends and relatives about the marriage out of the blue.

The friends and relatives of the Zhou family had initially felt somewhat sorry for Zhou Ruyan when they heard she was with a 48-year-old man.

But when they heard that Zhao Hai was the General Manager of Jang Di Lao and his son-in-law was the owner of Fengcai Guild and Jang Di Lao, they immediately changed their opinion.

Where was this feeling sorry? It was an extremely worthwhile match.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were happily at leisure, treating their time in the capital as a vacation.

Three days later, the group took a flight back to Jiang City.

They brought Ye Shanshan with them, as she was going to train at Fengcai Guild.

Back in Jiang City, they found a hotel near Fengcai Guild for Ye Shanshan.

Ye Shanshan would be staying at the hotel for the next half month.

They had dinner together in the evening and then sent Ye Shanshan back to the hotel before each of them returned home.

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.

That day.

Xu Yang was resting at home when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was Jiang Yuheng.

“Old Jiang,” Xu Yang answered the phone.

“Haha, Xu Yang, you’re awesome, this time we’re going to make a huge profit,” Jiang Yuheng laughed heartily, clearly overjoyed.

“What’s up?” Xu Yang was a bit confused at first.

“What else could it be? Haven’t you seen the news? Just released news reports that the National Copyright Bureau has announced they will be conducting a copyright cleanup operation to regulate copyright chaos in the cultural market. Now, the copyrights we’ve acquired are going to be worth a fortune, hahaha!” Jiang Yuheng burst into laughter again.

He, along with Wang Xiaocong and Su Wenbin, had spent two billion to acquire a copyright company and another one and a half billion to crazily acquire all sorts of copyrights.

Due to the rush, they hadn’t spent it all, only a bit over seven billion.

But they had made a huge profit.

As soon as the National Copyright Bureau’s actions were announced, copyright prices skyrocketed rapidly, most of them increasing by several dozen times, some even by over a hundred times.

“`

They had never made such a profitable investment before.

Naturally, they were extremely happy.

Jiang Yuheng couldn’t contain his excited emotions, so he made a phone call to Xu Yang.

“That’s fantastic.”

Xu Yang also smiled, although he already knew the results, he was still very happy.

This investment could make them tens of billions.

As long as they sold the rights, they would get cash.

After hanging up with Jiang Yuheng, Wang Xiaocong and Su Wenbin successively called.

They talked about the same thing, all laughing joyfully.

This time, they really made a huge profit.

This was an opportunity Xu Yang had shared with them.

After finishing the calls with the two of them, Xu Yang called the general manager of Pioneer Culture Copyright Company, Huang Zhigang.

“Mr. Xu,” Huang Zhigang’s voice trembled with excitement.

He naturally had seen the news too.

The various rights purchased for a billion could now multiply in value dozens or hundreds of times.

The boss had made a fortune!

And he would definitely get a big bonus!

He greatly admired Xu Yang and felt a bit of awe for him.

In his opinion, Xu Yang must have had insider information to dare to make such a big move in acquiring various rights.

Such insider information could only be obtained by incredibly connected individuals.

Xu Yang’s background must be unfathomably deep.

It was said that Xu Yang had no notable background, just a guy from a small place.

Before, he had believed that.

But now, he no longer did.

He didn’t believe that Xu Yang would dare to do this without having insider information.

Xu Yang said, “Old Huang, you should have seen the news. If anyone calls wanting to buy the rights, you can sell to other companies based on the market price. If Tencent Video calls, don’t agree right away and report to me. I have my own plans, understand?”

The person in charge of Tencent Pictures’ film division had once threatened him and even obstructed the project approval for “I Am Not the God of Medicine.”

He wasn’t someone who would just take a loss and let it go.

This time, he could use this to his advantage and get some benefits.

He would let the people at Tencent know that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

“Understood,” Huang Zhigang said.

How the boss directed, he would act accordingly, no questions asked.

“Old Huang, I know you all have worked hard these past three months. I won’t let your efforts go unrewarded. Every employee in the company will get a bonus, the senior management will each get a reward of two hundred thousand, mid-level management one hundred thousand, and base-level staff fifty thousand. You tell finance to distribute the awards today. I will transfer the money to the company account in a bit,” Xu Yang said.

The company didn’t have many employees, so they could afford to distribute more bonuses.

They truly made a lot this time, giving out more would also share the joy with the employees.

Otherwise, not giving or giving too little in bonuses might cause some discontent among the staff, which would not be beneficial for future development.

“Okay, thank you Mr. Xu, everyone will definitely be very happy,” Huang Zhigang said excitedly.

Sure enough, the boss’s reward had arrived.

As the general manager, a two hundred thousand bonus was quite substantial.

You should know his annual salary was only two hundred thousand; this bonus was a year’s worth of salary.

It was the same for the other employees, the bonus was equivalent to a year’s salary.

The boss’s rewards always had something special about them.

“I wanted to take all the employees out for a meal tonight, but I don’t have the time, so I’ll have you represent me. Show my thanks to them, everyone has worked hard.”

Tonight, Xu Yang was going to have a gathering with Wang Xiaocong and two others.

Wang Xiaocong had been clamoring for a gathering and flew over from Beijing.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it, thank you, Mr. Xu,” Huang Zhigang said.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then ended the call.
