Reborn in the Chinese Entertainment Industry: My Childhood Sweetheart is Boss Yang

October arrived in the blink of an eye.

The controversy surrounding "Mr. Tree" has been quite intense both inside and outside the entertainment industry lately, and it's only a little while now that the storm has finally died down.

The major media outlets quieted down for a few days, no longer trying to expose Gu Heng's secrets.

But Gu Heng had no time to care about the Golden Lion or Silver Lion awards; his eyes were glued to the stock market.

As a reborn individual, he knew all too well what October 2007 meant.

The final deadline for the bull market frenzy!

Once you get past this village, what follows is a precipitous fall, with countless rooftops lining up to jump.

Without further ado, Gu Heng called Chen Kai directly to his office.

"Besides holding onto my family heirlooms, Moutai and Wuliangye, I'm clearing out all the rest of my stocks, no matter how promising their growth prospects are! Not a single one left!"

Chen Kai shuddered instinctively upon hearing the command.

You have to understand that the stock market is currently booming, so this is a real loss-making situation.

But if the boss says to sell, then sell!

Absolutely no ambiguity.

After several days of secret operations by the core team of Vision Capital, Gu Heng completely liquidated his stock holdings.

When the finance department delivered the final report to Gu Heng's desk, even the seasoned CEO Gu couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Even the once heavily invested speculative stock, Chihong Zinc & Germanium, has seen its share price remain above 100 yuan despite a decline following the share reform!

The sale of those ten million shares brought Gu Heng a staggering profit of a billion yuan!

In addition to the more than 3 million yuan cashed out by CITIC, and other miscellaneous top-performing stocks, Vision Capital has quietly made a fortune in the stock market in recent years, directly raking in 15 billion yuan in cash flow!

15 billion!

In the entertainment industry in 2007, that was a nuclear weapon!

Keep in mind that at this point, a blockbuster film touted as an epic only has an investment of one or two hundred million yuan at most.

If the bosses of Huayi Brothers knew that Gu Heng had 15 billion yuan in cash, they would probably be so envious they'd have a stroke on the spot.

However, despite the enormous amount of money involved, the outside world didn't hear a single word about it.

This is all thanks to Gu Heng's incredibly shrewd secrecy strategy.

The entire team under Vision Investment was completely disbanded.

These suit-wearing thugs each had a small team responsible for only one stock, and even different numbers of shares in the same stock were handled by different teams.

Nobody knows exactly how many cards the company is holding.

So even if some foolish person were bribed by the enemy, what gets leaked would be at most the tip of the iceberg, not even causing a ripple.

The final clearance sale, a top-secret operation, was entirely carried out by Chen Kai and his trusted confidants in a separate server room.

Of course, although the employees below didn't know exactly how much the company was making, they were always watching the market, so how could these shrewd people not be able to tell which stocks were the real winners?

As long as you follow the stocks you're in charge of, you can earn enough for a down payment on a house in Beijing.

This is something Gu Heng turns a blind eye to; if you want the horse to run, you have to make sure it's well-fed, right?

A team is only truly strong if everyone gets rich together.

Currently, 15 billion yuan in cash flow is quietly lying in the company's account. As long as this money stays in hand for even one more day, it is an invisible loss!

We must spend it quickly!

Now that Vision Capital has completely withdrawn from the A-share market quagmire, it's time to get down to business.

Apart from the team that stayed in Wenchuan, Sichuan to oversee infrastructure construction and charitable supplies, the other employees didn't even have a chance to catch their breath before being dispatched by Gu Heng to major cities across the country.

Where are we going? To buy movie theaters! To buy real estate!

"Make it clear to your subordinates that this time we're partnering with Vision Entertainment to negotiate. Don't be stingy; just throw money at them!"

Gu Heng, brimming with confidence in the conference room, declared, "Not only will we buy the existing cinema chains, but we'll also buy all the commercial properties located there, skin and bones!"

It looks like 15 billion yuan, which is quite frightening, but if you cast a wide net across several key cities in the country, it won't really make a big splash.

But Gu Heng was thinking long-term!

These properties with shops will become incredibly valuable in the future.

Even if the movies don't make money, the profits from rent and soaring property prices alone would allow Yuanjian to make so much money that his hands would cramp from counting it all.

However, Gu Heng didn't want to expose himself completely to the spotlight of capital.

The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind; the old hands in this circle are really wicked.

In order to completely separate Vision Entertainment from this cinema chain, Gu Heng had his legal department create a new shell company called "Time".

As for the legal representative of this new company?

Gu Heng immediately pulled over his bodyguard and driver, Wang Gang.

Although Gang Ge is usually a man of few words, meticulous in his work, and highly skilled, he was completely bewildered when he heard that he was to become a legal representative.

Gu Heng didn't care about any of that. He casually tossed out a stack of shareholding agreements and signed them firmly.

Enter the village quietly, don't fire.

There are at least 80,000 to 100,000 people named Wang Gang across the country. Go ahead and check!

After arranging all the big things at the company, Gu Heng was finally able to leave work on time.

As soon as I got into the car, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

When I took it out and looked at it, hey, it was Huang Xiaoming.

"Hey, Gu Heng! Sisi's 'The Forbidden Kingdom' has wrapped filming. Same place tonight, the hot pot crew has to get together! You'd be doing us a disservice if you didn't come!"

Xiaoming's cheerful yet slightly naive Shandong accent came through the receiver.

To be honest, Gu Heng hadn't seen Xiaoming for quite a while.

Since Brother Xiaoming has spoken, we definitely have to go.

It was 8 p.m. in a private room at a hot pot restaurant.

The hot pot team has grown considerably since then.

Besides Huang Xiaoming, who is a regular cast member, Liu Yifei, who just finished filming, and the couple Gu Heng and Yang Mi, they also brought a family member today.

Yang Mi's best friend is Tang Yan.

The girl sat next to Yang Mi, her eyes secretly scanning the bigwigs in the industry at the table; she was clearly still a bit reserved.

Liu Yifei suffered quite a bit while filming "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Right now, her little face is flushed, and she's holding a cup of plum juice, chatting with Yang Mi about the gossip on set.

While eating tripe in the hot pot, Huang Xiaoming asked, "Hey, Gu Heng, where's Huang Bo? Why didn't that kid come with you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng retorted, "Don't even mention that guy! He's probably eating sand in the Northwest right now!"

"Eat sand?" Huang Xiaoming was stunned.

Gu Heng curled his lip: "What else could it be? That madman Ning Hao! He dragged Huang Bo to the Gobi Desert to experience life there in order to improve his new script, 'No Man's Land'."
