After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 219 One Punch Man, Series Lottery
There is no doubt that the boss of Alibaba is Jack Ma.

The number two person is Cai Chongxin.

Without Jack Ma, there would be no Alibaba.

Without Joseph Tsai, Alibaba would not have become the world's largest e-commerce group.

When Cai Zhongxin joined Alibaba, Alibaba was just a "broken website" that had been online for only a few months, and Jack Ma was just a small boss with zero income.

Cai Chongxin has already achieved success and is the vice president of the Hong Kong branch of a major overseas investment bank.

Before Cai Zhongxin joined Alibaba, Jack Ma had tried to raise funds more than 30 times, but all failed.

After Cai Zhongxin joined, he helped Jack Ma make four major capital increases, and each time, Alibaba was reborn.

The first capital increase was in August 1999. Cai Zhongxin arranged for Goldman Sachs to invest $8 million in Alibaba, including Cai Zhongxin’s former employer AB Investment Company.

This round of financing is of great significance. It not only provides Alibaba with funds for continued development, but also obtains the endorsement of investment banking giant Goldman Sachs.

The second capital increase was also the most difficult one. Alibaba wanted to increase its capital by US$2500 million. Cai Zhongxin approached Masayoshi Son of Japan's SoftBank.

Jack Ma and Cai Zhongxin went to Xiaorizi to have a face-to-face round of negotiations with Masayoshi Son, who insisted on $4000 million.

Cai Zhongxin said no twice, and finally made Masayoshi Son agree to invest only 2000 million US dollars.

This prevents Alibaba's shares from being diluted further.

In this battle, Cai Zhongxin helped Alibaba overcome the most dangerous difficulties.

Not long after SoftBank's funds were in place, US technology stocks collapsed from their highs due to the Internet bubble. Many e-commerce companies were wiped out in this bear market, but Alibaba, with funds in hand, survived this storm of the century without any major problems.

In the third capital increase, Cai Zhongxin helped Alibaba obtain a total investment of US$8200 million from SoftBank, Fidelity Investments, and GGV.

The fourth time was in August 2005, when Alibaba acquired Yahoo China.

After that, Alibaba not only had sufficient resources to build Taobao, but also secured its position as China's largest e-commerce company today by merging with Yahoo China.

In 2014, Cai Zhongxin led Alibaba to go public in the United States. He participated in every aspect of the IPO process, including the design of the company structure and the selection of underwriters.

It created the largest IPO in history, and Cai Zhongxin's 2.9% stake was worth US$45 billion.

Without Joseph Tsai, there would be no Alibaba today.

Of course, he is also the person who understands Jack Ma best and knows when to advance and retreat.

In a sense, he has long been more successful than his boss, but he has always been very low-key, in stark contrast to the high-profile Jack Ma.

In Jack Ma's words, the two of them are both teacher and friend, and Jack Ma is better than his teacher.

Li Mingyang doesn't want to stand against Alibaba.

I don't want to go along with Alibaba.

Therefore, the relationship with Cai Chongxin is very important.

Cai Zhongxin invited Li Mingyang to go to Hangzhou to play basketball at the end of May.

After being beaten up last time, he still dared to play basketball with him.

This time, I guess they are looking for professional players...

Li Mingyang has already agreed.

The most important thing right now is to quickly use up the time on the experience card.

With his mediocre kung fu, he really can't beat Cai Zhongxin.

If he hadn't used the experience card to cheat, it would have been a small loss of face, but it would have been a lot of fun if Cai Zhongxin misunderstood him and looked down on him.

Not long after returning to Hengdian, Li Mingyang went to find Ms. Zhou, the financial officer.

Through Huahua Entertainment, I bought the copyright of the One Punch Man hero series of micro-films and received rewards.

Li Mingyang was in a hurry to cash out in order to get the One Punch Man reward.

Based on the experience of previous draws, the system rewards are related to the content of the movie.

One Punch Man is a magical world with super powers, monsters, limiters, other dimensions, robots, and cosmic overlords...

Li Mingyang wanted to get some awesome rewards.

Micro-movies and online movies are both movies.

The copyright fees from the sale of movies are also part of the box office revenue.

From left hand to right hand, it was done quickly.

【Box office of Police Dog: 1.5 million yuan】

A system pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of me.

Li Mingyang is very happy.

It is possible to pour from the left hand to the right hand!
However, after a while, Li Mingyang was speechless.

I bought five films, spending 1.5 million on each, but in the end only one got a reward.

Li Mingyang studied it for a while and almost figured out why the system only gave the award to the Police Dog Man...

From the very beginning, he was aiming for the rewards, and he served as the producer of five micro-films.

But in the end, only Police Dog Man won the prize, so it had nothing to do with just being a figurehead.

Dog Man has the highest total clicks, exceeding one million.

As for Child Emperor, Zombieman, Pig God, and Flash Flash, the worst one has only more than 50,000 total clicks, while the others have more than 100,000 total clicks.

Rewards should be related to clicks.

But it’s not the main reason.
Police Dog Man was the only micro-film he helped edit. This micro-film was very funny, but it had too much nonsense. Li Mingyang cut it from more than 30 minutes to only 15 minutes.

Li Mingyang has had the box office system for a long time, but it has not been triggered very often.

The first time is the newbie benefit.

There were two other times when I sold copyrights for royalties.

Only "Bouquet of Flowers" was actually released and took in tens of millions at the box office.

A system that is so difficult to trigger, can you get rewards just by spending money?
Li Mingyang had a feeling that it would not go so smoothly, but he did not expect there would be so many restrictions. He suspected that the system was looking at participation, but the sample size was too small, so he had to continue testing.

With a thought, the box office system interface appeared. Li Mingyang clicked on Police Dog Man and started the lottery.

Li Mingyang did not draw the lottery immediately, but tried to recharge Rukawa Kaede's experience card, but the system did not respond at all.

Li Mingyang had no choice but to start smashing the first round of black and white cubes.

A pile of dog food, dog collars, leashes, and dog beds.

I tried to call up the recharge interface, but still failed. I spent 10,000 yuan to refresh it.

Still a black and white cube.

Still unable to recharge.

Li Mingyang directly carried out a second refresh, spending 100,000 box office.

This time it is still a black and white cube.

Usually, the second refresh would show green, but this time it was still black and white.

Li Mingyang frowned and thought for a while, and came up with a very bad guess.

That is, the quality of the prizes in the lottery is related to the popularity of the movie.

Dog Man has only been online for over a month, but it has only received a million hits, and there isn't even a pirated version of it online.

The heat is not generally low.

In contrast, the system rewards are all black and white cubes, which are of very low value.

There are still 1.29 million box office left, it can still be refreshed and the lottery can still be held.

You cannot recharge until the lottery is completely over.

The third refresh requires a box office of one million.

Click Refresh...

A new cube appeared, and what Li Mingyang worried about came true.

All of them were black and white cubes, all smashed up, they were all dog food, dog collars, dog clothes...

The rewards are no different from the first round of draws.

"It's such a pain in the ass!" Li Mingyang leaned back and lay down on the chair.

The box office system is too strict.

There is no way to cheat.

The system allows left-hand to right-hand transfer.

But if you want to start the lottery, you must rely on your own efforts.

If you want to get real rewards, you have to rely on the market.

As long as the market response is hot, the spy with a box office of two million can still get the golden reward!

The main theme is to strive for self-improvement and seek truth from facts...

"Should we convert the remaining box office revenue into usage time for the experience card?"

The recharge interface finally appeared, and in the end there were only 190,000 box office left, corresponding to 19 hours.

It’s more than enough for a basketball game.

But for shooting an action movie, this amount of time is not enough.

"Let's do this first..."

Li Mingyang just came up with an idea to take advantage of the situation and increase the recharge time.

That is to use 10 million yuan, transferring money from one hand to the other, to buy the copyright of the micro-film he shot.

The fourth refresh requires a box office of 10 million.

If the remaining box office is not enough to refresh and all the cubes are smashed, the system will determine that the lottery is over and automatically pop up a recharge prompt.

In other words, he can use more than 800 hours of recharge cards in a short period of time.

Each card can be used for approximately thirty-six days.

This method should be feasible.

But the system is a bit old-fashioned.

If he doesn't work hard, he won't get anything...

Taking shortcuts may backfire.

Now that he had figured out the general rules, Li Mingyang felt relieved and began to deal with the backlog of work.

After flipping through the pile of documents, Li Mingyang rubbed his brows, leaned back in his chair, and sighed.

The company is facing many problems now.

The biggest problem is that all departments in the company only listen to him. Without him, many things cannot proceed normally.

The company is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more projects.

There are film and television projects to prepare, artist management, and live broadcast platforms, and new projects will appear in the future.

It's all thanks to him. I'm so busy that I don't have any time for myself.

In addition to company matters, he still has a lot of things he wants to do.

"The way of making choices..."

Li Mingyang opened QQ and posted a few messages in the QQ group.
Notify all department heads and production team leaders of the company to hold a monthly meeting at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.
