A few days later, the entertainment industry was rocked by a sensational piece of news.
Fenglin Entertainment was renamed and established.
This Fenglin Entertainment was formerly known as Heli Entertainment, and people in the entertainment industry were somewhat aware of it, as Heli Entertainment had achieved some recognition.
However, the reason why their boss suddenly stepped down was unknown.
Now, Heli Entertainment has been renamed Fenglin Entertainment. This is not the most important news; the most crucial aspect is its investors.
The three giants of the internet industry all invested: Ababa Group, Penguin Group, and Jingxi Group.
The real estate giants included Yida Group and Cheung Kong Holdings, along with energy magnate Jiang Quanshui and electronics industry titan Lei Ming.
As for the two foreigners, they were not of much concern to most.
Fenglin Entertainment's emergence ignited the entire entertainment industry, causing a seismic shift. The establishment of an entertainment company by so many influential figures with such substantial investment made it seem as if other entertainment companies wouldn't be able to survive.
Later, Fenglin Entertainment released a statement:
Our goal is not domestic; our goal is to go global and become a leader in China's film industry.
This clearly indicated that Fenglin Entertainment aimed to compete with Hollywood, to bring Chinese films to the world, and to allow people worldwide to rediscover China.
What the United States can achieve, China can also achieve.
China is becoming increasingly powerful, not just in the military and economic sectors, but in all aspects, including going global.
Even more astonishingly, the day after Fenglin Entertainment issued its statement, two of the world's four major financial families immediately released declarations stating they were investing $10 billion in Fenglin Entertainment.
These two families were the DuPont family and the Morgan family.
Crucially, both were American, which essentially meant Americans were helping a Chinese entertainment company compete against their own domestic entertainment companies.
This move left everyone dumbfounded, as if a hint of something unusual could be perceived.
As for why the DuPont and Morgan families suddenly invested in Fenglin Entertainment, most people couldn't fathom it. Only a select few understood the inner workings, which was due to the Hughes King.
None of this was important; what mattered was that Fenglin Entertainment, right from its inception, showed a trend towards reaching the pinnacle of the world.
The spectators were utterly flabbergasted.
This was the largest collective investment of the century, with each investor being a preeminent figure in their respective fields.
As Old Wang said, "Either don't do it, or make a stunning debut." Old Wang had achieved his objective.
Regarding how the DuPont and Morgan families contacted him about the investment, he didn't fully understand but could surmise it was because of Xia Feng.
These two families were so eager for his investment that it felt like they would go to extreme lengths if he refused.
Old Wang reluctantly accepted the investments offered by these two families. As for the share percentage, both families were in unison: "You decide."
This meant that whether he gave them shares or not was secondary; what mattered was his happiness.
Old Wang, having spent a lifetime in business, had never encountered such a situation. It was then that he realized how insignificant he had been in the past.
For this reason, Old Wang specifically created a chat group and invited all the investors.
Although Xia Lin was the chairman of Fenglin Entertainment, Old Wang handled all matters.
Fenglin Entertainment Group:
Old Wang: On behalf of Lin'er, I would like to thank everyone for their investment. I will be informing you of the company's affairs from now on. (Shaking hands emoji)
Penguin Ma: Boss Wang, you are mighty.
Morgan Family: Boss Wang, I trust you completely. As long as the Chairman is happy, feel free to do as you please. In the future, the film industry will not aim to enter Hollywood, but rather, Hollywood will aim to enter Fenglin Entertainment.
Dura Peter: I dare not say anything, nor dare I do anything. Boss Wang, just do your best, and we will be your strong backing.
DuPont Family: The US film market is always open to Fenglin Entertainment. We will clear any obstacles for you.
Orville: Europe goes without saying. Anyone who obstructs Fenglin Entertainment is our enemy. My enemies have already fallen.
Jack Ma: Awesome.
Lei Ming: I'll boost Fenglin Entertainment.
Li Chaoren: Hehe, what I can do is cooperate with Boss Wang to the best of my ability.
Guangdie Liu: Following Boss Wang, there's no need to worry about food or drink.
Lei Ming: @Guangdie Liu, you were just saying a few days ago that following Penguin Ma meant no worries about food or drink. How did you change your allegiance so quickly?
Penguin Ma: It's the same.
Old Wang: Everyone, please be quiet. I will be adding our Chairman, Xia Lin, to the group chat. Please welcome her.
Lin'er accepted Old Wang's invitation and joined the group chat....
Old Wang: Everyone, please welcome our Chairman, Xia Lin. (Clapping emoji)
Penguin Ma: Lin'er, you are mighty! Chairman, you are mighty! A warm welcome! (Clapping emoji)
Jack Ma: Lin'er, you are mighty! Chairman, you are mighty! A warm welcome! (Clapping emoji)
As soon as Lin'er entered the group, everyone enthusiastically welcomed her. Guangdie Liu, not understanding much, also joined in the welcoming applause.
With so many influential figures fawning over this young beauty, he figured he should join in.
As for the representatives of the Morgan and DuPont families, they flooded the group with numerous (clapping emojis), overwhelming Penguin Ma to the point where he considered banning their accounts.
It was truly disgusting, such excessive fawning. He vowed to mute them next time.
Lin'er: Thank you all for your support. In the future, please assist Boss Wang diligently. Boss Wang is the one who works the hardest. My brother also specifically praised Boss Wang, saying he has done a good job. He also asked me to tell you all that everyone has worked hard.
Old Wang: Not hard at all. Thank you for your praise, Young Master Xia. I will continue to strive to do every job well and not disappoint him. I will also continue to forge ahead, sparing no effort.
Old Wang was overjoyed upon seeing this message, feeling more refreshed than drinking iced water on a scorching summer day.
His hard work being recognized by Xia Feng was incredibly rewarding.
Penguin Ma: Thank you, Young Master Xia, thank you, Lin'er.
Jack Ma: Thank you, Young Master Xia, thank you, Lin'er. You are the ones who have worked the hardest.
Lei Ming: Yes, you are the ones who have worked the hardest. We will strive to do every job well.
Jiang Quanshui: With the understanding and appreciation from Young Master Xia and Lin'er, we are content even if we die from exhaustion.
DuPont Family: Thank you for your understanding and recognition, Young Master Xia. This is our honor.
Liu Qiangdong, who was in Kyoto, looked at the sycophantic messages in the group and fell into deep thought.
Young Master Xia?
What an unfamiliar name.
His previous investment was purely based on Penguin Ma's influence. Seeing so many influential figures investing, and with his elder brother Penguin Ma also investing, he had no hesitation in following suit.
He never expected this investment would elicit such a strong resonance from so many influential figures.
But that wasn't the key point; the key was that they were all such blatant sycophants.
Fawning over that mysterious Young Master Xia and Chairman Lin'er.
What colossal secret lay behind this? Liu Qiangdong was filled with curiosity about this mysterious Young Master Xia.
In any case, returning to the main topic, Liu Qiangdong felt that his investment this time was a wise decision.
Just based on the fact that so many influential figures were acting as sycophants, that mysterious figure must be incredibly formidable.
A bunch of devoted sycophants, truly shameless and without limits, Liu Qiangdong couldn't help but smirk, feeling a sense of disdain for them.
Then, Liu Qiangdong silently typed a line and sent it:
Mighty Young Master Xia, mighty Chairman Lin'er. It is my honor to work for Young Master Xia and Chairman Lin'er, until death do us part.
