Chapter 382 The World's Cloth Girl
As the lights came on, the casserole of chicken soup on the stove was steaming, and the chopping board and knife were clattering against each other.

Song Anli skillfully sprinkled chopped green onion and coriander into the chicken soup, picked up a pair of chopsticks and dipped them into the soup, dripped them onto the back of her hand to taste it carefully, then put her hands on her hips and nodded with satisfaction.

"Excuse me, Chef Song, how long will it take for the meal to be served?"

Xie Jingxing appeared at the kitchen door at some point, wearing brand new men's pajamas, with wet hair after just taking a shower.

Song Anli turned around and looked at him, her focused face showing a charming smile: "If the guests can help the chef to serve the dishes, we can start eating right away."

"Isn't it the master?" Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.

Song Anli asked back: "Head of the family?"

"So you are the concubine." Xie Jingxing helped while flirting with her.

The four home-cooked dishes, stir-fried beef, braised prawns, blanched vegetables, and dry-pot eggplant, were very sumptuous, and there was also a bottle of red wine that was just decanted.

Watching Song Anli, who was wearing an apron and looked like a virtuous wife, bringing the chicken soup to the table, a very creative idea suddenly flashed through Xie Jingxing's mind.

If you have such a concubine in several major business travel destinations all over the world, then there will be no business trips at all, and wherever you go in the world will be like home.

In ancient times, Oda Nobunaga spread his military power throughout the world, and now, young commander Xie is spreading his women throughout the world. They can be said to be a match made in heaven!

"My little wife has worked hard."

Xie Jingxing didn't move his chopsticks, but peeled a shrimp and put it in Song Anli's bowl.

"My husband works harder."

Song Anli blushed slightly and picked up the wine glass in a serious manner. Since she was sent abroad for more than half a year, they had been apart for a long time. This was the first time Xie Jingxing came to her house in Beijing.

The area is not large, and it was fully furnished by the developer. We have only added a batch of furniture since we moved in.

The daily necessities in the kitchen were just unpacked today, and from today on, this house will be her little home.

People get drunk even if the wine doesn't make them drunk. Song Anli rested her chin on the dining table with one hand, gazing at the man in front of her with tenderness in her bright eyes, greedily not wanting to blink.

Xie Jingxing could feel the strong emotions, so he hesitated for a few times and didn't know what to say.

He did not respond to Song Anli's idea during the day, and went to Xiaoma Pentium in the afternoon. The latter's business performance was better than that of Kujiji Studio.

It was originally planned to clear out Jin Yan and the Li sisters next year, but as capital entered the market beyond expectations, people's minds shifted and talented directors and screenwriters left the company one after another to set up their own companies.

They lost their ability to win over people's hearts, so Song Anli made a prompt decision to kick them out early and spent money to poach Li Ning, the general manager of Wuzhou Pictures under Wanda Group, as well as several middle and senior management talents from Huayi Brothers and Light Media.

She serves as chairman and CEO, Zhong Lifang serves as president in charge of theater and distribution business, and Li Ning serves as senior vice president in charge of film and television production, allowing Xiaoma Pentium to completely break away from the family business model.

But at the same time, while spending money to poach employees and causing non-compete lawsuits with peers, they were also preparing to enter the market at the business level.

Song Anli's statement that the entry of capital has led to the loss of talent in the company and affected its business is a fact. It is also a fact that Pony.com itself plays the role of capital and strikes hard at its peers.

"Have you been in touch with Concubine Pei?" Xie Jingxing finally spoke after they finished their meal.

"She went to New York to watch the Fashion Week a few days ago and was photographed by domestic reporters. The studio spent money to buy the negatives of the photos."

Song Anli lazily leaned on her arm and took a sip of red wine: "She also said that if Jing Tian can act in Zhang Yimou's big production, she can act in it too. Let Zhong Lifang help collect the script for the heroine, and start filming after she gives birth to the baby next year."

"..."

Xie Jingxing was speechless. Before Concubine Pei became pregnant, she was often punished by Zhou Fenglan. After she became pregnant, she was treated completely differently.

When he went to the United States, he bought a house worth more than 30 million US dollars in Hollywood, Los Angeles. His mother Guan Ning paid for it, and Yu Tong and Zhou Fenglan discussed and gave him a red envelope of 10 million US dollars.

Last month he went to the United States for a roadshow to raise funds, so naturally I had to accompany him for a few days.

Looking at Concubine Pei, who was five months pregnant, weeping and complaining about leaving her hometown and being unfamiliar with the place, and then looking at her parents and relatives who were happily traveling in Los Angeles with her money in the name of accompanying her during the birth.

Apart from scolding her in bed with a stern face, Xie Jingxing told her not to be spoiled. After getting out of bed, he could only make various promises and comfort her in a gentle voice that everything would be fine after the baby was born.

"She doesn't really care about the studio right now. She wants to be a hands-off boss, but she also wants everything to go her way. This is not good."

Xie Jingxing had made himself look foolish, and after a moment's hesitation, he reluctantly got back to the topic.

Song Anli pursed her lips: "After all, she is pregnant. She should be able to get back to work when she comes back next year."

"I told her that if she gets pregnant and has a baby this year, she will miss the golden period of development for the studio and herself." Xie Jingxing raised his hand, picked up the wine dispenser and poured half a glass of wine.

"She feels nothing is more important than giving birth to a baby for you."

Song Anli turned her head, raised her slender neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The strands of hair around her ears scattered in disarray, covering her profile and making it impossible to see her expression.

"Good sisters help each other."

Xie Jing Xing smiled, tapping the table with his fingers: "I'll have to thank you when she comes back and gives birth. The studio is operating very well, and the net profit in half a year is higher than that of Pony.

"I'm not happy anymore." Song Anli sat up straight.

"what happened?"

"The studio is developing well, thanks to the good foundation you laid and the large amount of IP copyrights you have accumulated."

Song Anli changed the subject: "Looking at the net profit alone, the net profit of Kujiji Studio last year was even higher than that of Guangguang Media, but the revenues of the two parties are not at the same level."

"The same goes for Xiaoma Pentium. Our family is big and has many businesses. The long-term goodwill value and market influence cannot be compared with a few hundred million in net profit. So I don't want Concubine Pei to thank me, I want you to praise me." She concluded seriously.

Xie Jing Xing exhaled the alcohol: "You are indeed getting better and better, and you have your own ideas."

Song Anli just smiled, her eyes still full of affection, and looked at him calmly.

That’s right, when she mentioned Yang Mi during the conversation this morning, she wasn’t just giving an example.

Compared to investing in and acquiring high-quality small and medium-sized film, television and animation production companies on the market in order to maintain and enhance the market competitiveness of Xiaoma Pentium - she would rather invest in high-quality artist management companies such as Jiaxing Media!

Xie Jingxing's envisioned pan-entertainment layout is: the upstream Kujiji Studio controls the output of original content, covering a large number of literary IP copyrights and artist brokerage.

In the middle, Pony Pentium produces TV series and variety shows adapted for film and television, and also distributes them in offline theaters.

The downstream companies, including Weying Times, Maoyan, and Panda TV, constitute the distribution terminals that include online ticketing, publicity and promotion, and other businesses, which are interconnected and connect the entire industry chain ecosystem.

"Xie Jingxing is an incomparable person. There will never be a second one in this world. Because of this, my love for you is incomparable."

After staring at each other in silence for a long time, Song Anli smiled with a complex smile, and confessed in a soft but firm tone. The pan-entertainment layout envisioned by Xiaoma Pentium is to focus on its own film and television production, invest in and acquire brokerage companies such as Jiaxing upstream, and participate in theaters downstream to form a full industry chain.

The pan-entertainment layout envisioned by Weying Times and Maoyan is to focus on their own online ticketing distribution, connect with offline theaters, and reversely engage in upstream film and television production and brokerage businesses to create a full industry chain.

The entire industrial chain is the story that the capital market loves to hear the most. No matter whether it can be done or not, as long as you say and do it this way, you can get a super high valuation and make a fortune from listing financing.

Therefore, everyone is desperately pursuing big and comprehensive, rushing towards a pace that crosses borders or even goes against their core business.

Xie Jingxing felt a little relieved. Not everyone stood on his side. Song Anli now represented the interests of the entire Xiaoma Pentium, as did Lin Ning of Weying Times and Maoyan, which sold half of its shares to Light Media.

Even though they are all his pawns, there is both cooperation and competition between them.

"It is a paradox that the agency business and film and television production can coexist. Hollywood made this mistake decades ago." Xie Jingxing reminded in a slow tone.

Assuming that Pony.com invests in its own movie and invites its own artists to star in it, how should the remuneration be negotiated? The former naturally hopes to reduce the production cost to the lowest, while the latter naturally wants high remuneration.

You may not see much from one or two movies, but over time, conflicts and contradictions will inevitably tear things apart and it will be completely impossible to balance them.

"We have already formed a team to prepare for the listing, and we expect it to be listed in 17 or 18."

Song Anli said in a sad tone: "You should be the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, and we should be a mob. We have to follow the market trend and go crazy even though we know it's wrong."

"If we don't move forward, we will move backward. If we stay where we are, there is a high probability that we will not see the day when the bubble bursts." She finally said with increasing determination.

“Then start the financing.”

Xie Jingxing drank the wine in his glass, stood up and stepped forward, reaching out his hand to gently lift Song Anli's chin: "You have to understand that outside of work, I am still your man."

"I thought you liked me being businesslike."

“I’m going to be a father of three kids.”

As the words came to an end, the door of the room closed and Xie Jingxing's back disappeared. Song Anli withdrew her gaze in a daze, sniffed, and filled the goblet with scarlet wine.

Pei Fei's Kujiji Studio could have obtained 100% of the resources of the artist management business in Xie's capital's pan-entertainment industry layout.

She controls Pony Ma to extend its business upstream, which is to snatch the resources from Kujiji, and she does not just split them in half.

…………

The moon is full in the sky, and the dew is heavy.

A cool breeze blew by, Xie Jingxing tightened his coat, lowered his head to glance at the pajama slippers on his legs, and smiled helplessly.

I wandered around the neighborhood aimlessly for a while to get rid of the drunkenness, then sat down on a bench to rest, emptying my mind and looking at the sparse stars in the night sky.

Xie Jingxing was a little confused about what he was thinking at this moment. Seeing Song Anli trying her best to convince him from a professional perspective, he was actually very relieved.

Last year, Pony.com suffered a huge loss from a movie called "The Crossing". The overall investment was very high and the production line-up was luxurious.

However, he had no memory of it, and based on this, it can be basically concluded that this was a rip-off project.

But Xie Jingxing did not intervene and allowed Zhong Lifang to lose tens of millions. For example, he clearly remembered the exaggerated box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" and did not instruct Xiaoma Pentium to invest in Wu Jing in advance to build up a good relationship.

Including Taihe Pomelo and Yunhe Logistics, as long as there is room for error and they can afford the losses, they basically do not intervene and allow trial and error, with the aim of cultivating the team and business system.

Xie Jingxing believed that he was still young and could live for several decades, but his ability to foresee and predict the future was limited, so sooner or later he would have to delegate power to his professional subordinates to do professional things.

Therefore, Song Anli's persistence to some extent proves the success of this set of ideas. If we continue to push forward, there is no reason to forcibly reject Xiaoma Pentium's business ideas.

As for his personal feelings, he really felt pity for Concubine Pei and took the initiative to give up his golden period of career to get pregnant and have children. As a result, his career suffered from competition from his good sister.

Of course, the key to all the entanglements lies in the fact that Song Anli’s judgment is correct. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind.

Tangren Film and Television is a vivid example. They had the opportunity to get investment but they thought themselves noble and disdained to associate with capital. Now they regret it and have no chance to kiss the ass of capital.

"Bring your team to Beijing tomorrow and do your best to investigate Kujiji Studio and Pony Galloping."

Xie Jingxing hung up the phone call to Miao Nan, digested his emotions and went back upstairs. On the way, he saw a small pink light on the ground floor of a building with a sign that read 24-hour adult service...

He immediately took out his mobile phone and spent several thousand yuan. The mistress should not be spoiled too much. She should be taught a lesson!

…………

The next day at noon, Miao Nan, who was on a business trip to Beijing, led the team to arrive at the Kujiji studio first. After waiting for a long time, Xie Jingxing finally arrived.

"Sign the investment intention first, and then discuss the equity structure."

He sat expressionlessly at the head of the meeting room, dominating the situation. Ding Jun calmly waited for everyone to sign, then took out two freshly made PPTs to introduce the situation.

As a celebrity, Concubine Pei is not suitable to show off her wealth. Although she solely owns shares in Kujiji Studio, the specific operations are handled through multiple layers of affiliated companies and shell companies.

The equity details were sorted out in a big circle and small circles. Miao Nan looked at the PPT in which even the edges of the pictures were not aligned, and secretly guessed how much shares Mr. Xie held.

"Mr. Xie, now that we understand the basic situation, shall we start the financial due diligence directly?" He coughed lightly and asked tentatively.

Xie Jingxing glanced at Ding Jun: "When did Xiyou do a project so carelessly? Are you okay?"

"...Well, first tell me what competitiveness your main business has." Miao Nan had no idea what the boss was thinking, so he took a deep breath and responded carefully.

"We are a dual-wheel-driven enterprise with film and television investment and artist management as the core business. Our company has abundant literary IP copyright reserves and plans to develop 10 literary IP film and television adaptation projects in the next five years."

Xie Jingxing spoke a few words to set the tone, and then jumped to say: "We plan to transfer 50% of the equity with a valuation of 15 billion, raise 8 million yuan, support the implementation of the early film and television adaptation projects, and expand the scale of the artist management business."

"What projects are you currently adapting, and which specific artists do you want to sign?" Miao Nan asked in a pretentious manner.

Xie Jingxing gestured: "Manager Ding will introduce this to everyone. Come with me."

Miao Nan was stunned for a moment, his mind was racing. He didn't ask, and he didn't allow me to ask, and now he wanted to talk to me alone. What logic did this make?

"The highest valuation of Kujiji Studio is 40 billion, and the valuation of Xiaoma Pentium is no more than 65 billion. You can figure out how to negotiate. Come up with a plan for me as soon as possible."

After closing the office door, Xie Jingxing blurted out a sentence.

Miao Nan was no longer dumbfounded. His heart was in his throat and his eyes were erratic. It turned out that the boss wanted him to pick up the Dragon Slaying Sword and go to negotiate with Assistant Song to bargain face to face. Danger!
"If you can't make it clear, I'll find someone else to talk to and approve your resignation application tomorrow."

Xie Jingxing threatened without hesitation. Since we have to handle this matter impartially, then we should carry it out to the end and no one should take advantage of it.
