These words were spoken.
All the executives of Heilong were slightly shaken. Everyone could tell that Brother Jiang valued the Heilong website. Brother Jiang was calm about the huge profits he had just made from Xingguang Entertainment. He only said that he wanted to develop steadily and sign more new talents. Moreover, it seemed that signing more new talents was also to increase the number of registered stars on the Heilong website.
As for the Black Dragon website!
That's incredibly important!
Allow the Publicity and Entertainment Department to invest unlimited funds, and even offer subsidies from the Black Dragon Group if the Publicity and Entertainment Department's funds are insufficient.
That's absolutely terrifying!
After all, Starlight Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Publicity and Entertainment Department, has an annual revenue of three to four billion yuan. Even after deducting costs and miscellaneous expenses, it still has more than two billion yuan a year. But now all of that money is going to be poured into the Black Dragon website.
And this is already subsidized!
They couldn't imagine how much their Brother Jiang really valued the Black Dragon website, but no one objected. In their minds, if Brother Jiang said so, there must be a reason.
...
Ning Hua was equally shocked.
A website!
Billions of dollars are subsidized into it every year with no upper limit!
Does the other party value this website that much? What website? Could they possibly create another Taobao-like platform?
No way! Shopping websites are already fighting each other, and as far as I know, Heilong website has nothing to do with the aftermath; it's just an entertainment website! But is it worth spending so much money on an entertainment website? As the third young master of the Ning family, he understands finance quite well. The total market value of all kinds of websites in the entertainment industry is not that much right now, and their future development prospects are obvious.
Well, how should I put it!
The plate is only so big!
He felt that spending so much money was completely unnecessary!
...
Qin Jiang naturally didn't need to explain to the crowd's doubts.
Starlight Entertainment?
Various variety shows?
Movies and TV series?
...
It seems like a golden goose with unlimited potential, but the pie is too small. Even if it reaches its peak, its market value will only be a few hundred billion. The entertainment industry as a whole will inevitably decline in the future.
But Heilong.com is different! Qin Jiang positions it as the predecessor of video websites, a field that can spawn unicorns worth hundreds of billions or even trillions.
This is a golden dragon.
Compare to him!
The entire entertainment industry is nothing to Qin Jiang, let alone a mere Starlight Entertainment. To Qin Jiang, Starlight Entertainment is just a tool to provide financial support to the Black Dragon website.
Sun Yuan: "Okay, Brother Jiang! I'll carry it out!"
...
tread!
Shen Tianci stood up and said, "2013! Under Brother Jiang's leadership, it was a year of rapid development for the engineering department! All major projects under our management progressed steadily, and several pilot projects are nearing completion, preparing to enter the interior decoration phase..."
Speaking of which!
The engineering department didn't provide much specific information:
Their main task this year is building, and even next year's main work will still be building. Aside from reserving some construction teams for the various milk tea franchisees, there's practically no profit to speak of. And that meager profit is unnecessary to mention in this setting. Didn't you see Wang Tao didn't mention Heilong Night Market at all during his report? This night market, which propelled the Heilong Group to prominence, only generates tens of millions in profit annually. It's rarely mentioned, not even in internal management meetings, let alone in a meeting reporting to Qin Jiang. The engineering department's real breakthrough won't happen until at least the end of this year, and throughout 2015—that will be their glorious moment.
Qin Jiang's assessment of this was: "Ensure the quality of the project, train your own sales staff in advance, and you can choose to poach talent from other groups!"
...
tread!
Feng Lin stood up and said, "2013! Under Brother Jiang's leadership, the Transportation Department experienced a year of rapid growth! Its transportation business has expanded to fifteen provinces, including the three northern provinces and five eastern provinces... We expect to cover all prefecture-level cities nationwide next year, and complete coverage of all county-level cities within three years. Currently, our main business, heavy-duty transportation, accounts for an average of 30% of the market share across various regions and is steadily increasing, doubling compared to last year. We also undertake various other small and medium-sized cargo businesses... In particular, the establishment of multiple dedicated stations in Yiwu to sign price-controlled contracts with a large number of merchants has yielded tremendous results..."
Qin Jiang gave an eight-character evaluation:
"Take steady steps and continue to develop!"
The transportation department is very important in Heilong Group's grand strategy. Although its potential is not that huge, its market competitiveness is very strong! But Heilong Group may well have its own shopping website in the future, or at the very least, it can add shopping to video websites. This is an inevitable trend!
At that time:
Having your own transportation company can play a very good role, which means keeping the profits within the family.
...
Zhao Shanhe stepped forward: "2013! Under Brother Jiang's leadership, it was a year of rapid development for the security department! A new security company was established under its umbrella, and it began to undertake security business in the northern province. Currently, it has reached agreements with many banks and financial companies for escort services..."
...
Bai Lu stepped forward: "2013! Under Brother Jiang's leadership, it was a year of rapid growth for the finance department..."
...
One by one, the senior executives of Heilong reported on the situation. It can be said that 2013 was still a year of rapid development for Heilong Group. If it was an exaggeration to say that Heilong Group was a trillion-yuan group in 2013, it would be absolutely correct to say it in 2014.
The valuation of Heilong Group has been completely shattered:
[Hundreds of billions]
...
upstairs!
The Heilongjiang Conference continues!
Yan Huagang walked into the building downstairs.
Buzz...
His phone rang, and he saw the caller ID: [Zhang Wei]. He frowned and answered, "What is it now?"
Zhang Wei: "Hua Zi! Do you still have any money?"
Yan Hua: "What's wrong with you? Why are you borrowing money again?"
Zhang Wei: "I won't borrow too much this time! Ten thousand... no... five thousand will do, five thousand will do!"
Yan Hua:...
It has only been a little over half a year since graduation, but Zhang Wei has borrowed money from him many times. Moreover, he found out that not only Luo Ping but also many other classmates had been borrowed money by Zhang Wei.
There's absolutely no way they'll pay me back!
main:
Zhang Wei only shows up when he needs to borrow money; otherwise, he's completely unreachable.
Even Yang Xue couldn't be contacted!
Yan Hua: "You know I've only been working for six months. After deducting expenses and the money I lent you, I'm not well-off. Five thousand... I..."
Zhang Wei: "Brother Hua! My dear brother... please lend me the money... otherwise I really can't handle it..."
Yan Hua: "Can't handle it? What do you mean? What's wrong with you? Did something happen to you? What's going on?"
Zhang Wei: "I... ah..."
Beep beep...
The phone went dead.
Yan Hua stared blankly at the phone, his intuition telling him that something had happened to Zhang Wei. But what exactly had happened?
He immediately thought of contacting Zhang Wei's parents.
At that very moment.
At the entrance.
Suddenly, cries and screams rang out...
