Reborn in 2014, getting rich from the World Cup

After having dinner with Zhao Mengqi in the evening.

Yang Zheng did not return to the hotel room.

Instead, he went to Tangcheng Yipin, a famous luxury residential area in Shanghai.

Ye Shiliang came to pick him up in person.

The last time the two met was nearly two months ago, when Meishi Group acquired a stake in Shanyin.

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

I won’t go into details about how passionate the relationship was between the two after they met.

Anyway, the two of them had to wait until they got up the next day before they had time to discuss serious matters.

"You have a really strong vision. In just nine months, Musical.L's valuation has risen from $80 million to over $600 million, a 7.5-fold increase. I've profited from your success again."

Ye Shiliang handed over a stack of information and praised him.

Yang Zheng smiled calmly, took the information and started reading it.

Naturally, it is the data and information of Musical.L.

He remembered that Musical.L in his previous life also completed its third round of financing during this period, that is, in May 2016.

At that time, Musical.L's registered users seemed to have just exceeded 9000 million.

Anyway, it’s not over 100 million yet.

But now the data shows that Musical.L has 1.21 million registered users.

And it is spread across many countries such as the Beautiful Country, the Maple Leaf Country, the Gran Country, the Tank Country, the Sakura Country, etc.

Otherwise, in the past, Douyin would have directly acquired Musical.L for US$10 billion?

Musical.L's user base, combined with Douyin's algorithmic technology advantages.

The result has been confirmed - TT, the overseas version of Douyin, has become the fastest social application in the world to reach 10 billion users.

In just two years, it has swept the global short video field.

Needless to say, there was a series of disturbances that followed.

They are all manifestations of their "combat effectiveness".

Now, Musical.L is also the best nourishment for Shanyin to enter the overseas market.

So this time Yang Zheng wanted to... directly take over Musical.L.

Even small butterflies can have a huge impact.

Not to mention that he is no longer a little butterfly.

But every move he makes has an impact on the huge capitalists.

Take Musical.L for example.

In its previous life, Musical.L raised US$1 million in funding for a 20% stake.

In other words, the final valuation is US$5 million.

And now?

The market valuation is US$6 million.

When the financing meeting comes, the price will undoubtedly be even higher as capital from all sides compete for it.

Don't forget this at your last fundraising meeting.

Because Shen Yixin took action on his behalf.

This resulted in the original valuation of US$6000 million rising to US$8000 million.

and so.

If you still want to wait until the next round to acquire Musical.L.

It is very likely that even 10 billion US dollars will not be enough.

Then there is.

The situation of Shanyin is not exactly the same as Douyin.

Shanyin is developing faster than Douyin.

At this point in my previous life, Douyin had not yet been officially launched.

At this time, Shanyin has become a large social media with over 2 million daily active users.

Therefore, Yang Zheng also wanted to prepare for the acquisition of Musical.L in advance.

Moreover, he is already the largest shareholder of Musical.L.

This won’t be too difficult to do.

What he is considering now is whether to integrate Musical.L into the Flash Music system and launch an overseas version of Flash Music after acquiring Musical.L.

Or we can directly use Musical.L as the basis and incorporate the algorithm technology of flash sound and develop separately.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of the former are self-explanatory.

Improve both internally and externally, complement each other, and expand the influence of the Shanyin brand.

The development of Flash Sound will undoubtedly be even faster.

And probably also be able to bring glory to the country.

The corresponding disadvantage is: a big tree attracts the wind.

Shanyin's overseas business development will definitely be more easily targeted and restricted.

The latter can circumvent this to a certain extent.

It’s hard to say much about these things.

Anyway, it’s like this: if it’s a small fight, it doesn’t matter, but if it’s too big and poses a threat, you will definitely be hit with the iron fist of freedom and democracy.

People nowadays would never imagine it even if they were beaten to death.

Nine years later, the beautiful country, which is famous for its freedom and democracy, madly criticized Xia country for its lack of human rights.

It also created the product of "state-owned enterprises".

Reality is more magical than magic.

Another point is.

Now Yang Zheng’s shares in Shanyin are only 32.5%.

If they develop separately, at least in the early stages, Musical.L is his sole proprietor.

So after acquiring Musical.L, it will develop separately from Flash Music.

It would be more beneficial to his personal interests.

After much deliberation, Yang Zheng finally decided to directly incorporate Musical.L under the name of Flash Music and launch the overseas version of Flash Music.

Because he certainly won't be content with just small fights.

In the end, everyone will have to show their cards and fight head-on.

Then the early disguise will be unnecessary.

As for personal interests.

He is really not that bad now.

By then, he won't be any worse off.

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, if economic benefits are lost, other benefits will generally make up for it.

"I want to acquire Musical.L directly and then use Musical.L as a foundation to launch an international version of Flash Sound. What do you think?"

Yang Zheng asked.

Ye Shiliang was stunned at first, then nodded thoughtfully:

"That would be a good idea. The development of the international version of Flash Sound might not be slower than that of the domestic version. But..."

She paused and said, "Perhaps you could first acquire Musical.L in your own name and develop it for a while. You're not short of funds anyway. When development becomes limited, you could consider selling it to Flash Audio. That would maximize your profits."

Those who transfer money from the left hand to the right hand seek profit for themselves.

This is undoubtedly the operation that second-generation people like Ye Shiliang are best at and most accustomed to.

If you look closely, it is definitely a violation.

But... who will bother to examine them?

The only people who can examine them in detail are their relatives and friends.

"It doesn't mean much, I don't make much money and it looks ugly, but I don't need that little money."

Yang Zheng said so.

Ye Shiliang rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "Okay, I know you're not short of money, but you have tens of billions and nowhere to spend them."

The downside of the information age is that very little information can truly be hidden.

Just like Yang Zheng's cash flow of more than 400 billion, it has long been an open secret in the circle.

So first Zhu Chengming brought Xu Ying to the door, then Zhang Minggang asked for help, and then Han Yingjie begged for alms.

So now he only has a little over 355 billion left.

It is conceivable that there will be many more people who will set their sights on this money in the future.

Yang Zheng ignored her and just said:

"As for the international version of Flash Sound, I'll let... my wife's sister take charge. Can you also find someone you can trust who can utilize the overseas resources of the Meishu Group?"

Ye Shiliang didn't answer but asked, "Wife's sister? Which one?"

"Zhang Qinying."

Yang Zheng replied.

Ye Shiliang stared at him with her beautiful eyes: "I heard that she seems to be the most beautiful among the Zhang sisters, right? Is she just my wife's younger sister?"

Yang Zheng glanced at her unhappily: "What else?"

"No ideas?"

"Beauty, I have ideas, can I come up with it?"

Ye Shiliang smiled and said, "That's right."

Yang Zheng had a natural expression on his face: "Okay, let's talk business. Do you have anyone you trust? Otherwise, I'll contact someone else."

"Of course."

Ye Shiliang looked a little proud and said, "Don't underestimate me. Now in the Meishu Group, besides my dad, I have the loudest voice."
