Chapter 258 Disha is a princess?! [Subscribe]
On October 10, the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Wang Chengguang had just arrived at the Spark Building when he saw the front desk clerk on the first floor smiling and saying, "Good morning, Mr. Wang. Mr. Ma from Penguin came here at eight o'clock, and brought a pretty girl with him. She seems to be Ah San."
Wang Chengguang nodded to show that he understood. As he continued to walk towards the elevator, Wang Manni asked curiously, "Isn't it strange that Mr. Ma is here? And he brought a pretty Indian girl with him?"
After all, Pony Ma is a major shareholder of Spark Mobile and a small shareholder of Spark Weibo, and he also works part-time at Big Penguin. A few days ago, Lei Jun came to ask whether we should expand the Zhengzhou factory, and he even went to talk to Pony Ma.
It's not surprising that this person came here. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, the 11 billion red envelope subsidy day for mobile phone penguins, but he brought a pretty girl with him...
Wang Chengguang laughed and said, "He complained more than once that he envied me for discovering rich and beautiful girls like Mile, Nansun and Qiao Zilin. I guess the beauties he brought here are not only beautiful but also high-caste girls from India."
"If they are of a high caste, then tying them to the mobile phone Penguin will have a miraculous effect whether promoting the mobile phone Penguin or the Spark mobile phone among the Indian community in Hong Kong Island."
The Indians are really amazing. They can bring the caste system of contempt into Silicon Valley.
People are divided into different classes from the moment they are born and it remains like this for the rest of their lives. Even the super-rich over there have to go through all kinds of twists and turns if they want to marry a high-caste beauty.
If you find a high-caste beauty who is willing to listen to you and cooperate with you... this is a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow to the Indians living in Hong Kong Island.
Of course, there are only tens of thousands of Indian communities in Hong Kong Island. Just to decide whether these tens of thousands of people use Penguin or WeChat mobile phones, Ma Ge would not be so idle as to bring a beautiful Indian girl here. This is probably to rush into the mobile phone market, right?
If the products sell well in India, even if they only make 100 or 200 yuan per unit, small profits but quick turnover will still be a big profit! It can subsidize the loss-making marketing in the mainland and Hong Kong and Macau.
If you sell 1000 million units in the mainland, you will lose 80 billion yuan. But if you sell 200 million units to India and make 100 yuan per unit, you can still make back billion yuan.
He roughly guessed that it was nothing more than that Wang Chengguang was still not optimistic about whether the Spark mobile phone could make much money when it was launched in India. The people over there were completely shameless in cutting leeks. Even the famous Apple mobile phone had difficulty selling well in India.
Apple's original track has been selling very poorly there, and you are still being sued for charging too much Apple tax...
While he was thinking, he went up to the 6th floor with Wang Manni and Jiang Nansun. Xiao Ma Ge, who was waiting in the waiting room, stood up immediately. With him was a male assistant and a pretty Indian girl. Wang Chengguang glanced at them and felt that they looked familiar.
He is about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and long-legged, and has a good conscience. His skin color is just okay, not really dark, but not very white either.
Brother Ma walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Boss Wang, how about the pretty girl I brought this time? Her name is Disha Patani. She is from the Kshatriya caste in India. I heard that she is the descendant of a princess from a small country with a thousand-year-old heritage. She is also a college student, studying history in India. She is 19 years old this year and will be 20 soon."
Seeing Xiao Ma Ge's confident and high spirits, Wang Chengguang's heart almost couldn't hold back. Is this the Princess Esmita in the Kung Fu Yoga story? No, Esmita was pretending to be a history professor and went to see Jack for help.
So in that story, she used a fake name, Esmita, in the early stage, and became a princess in the later stage... Real name? Disha Patani seems to be a high caste.
The gold in the underground palace in Kung Fu Yoga? There is a lot of gold in it, but for Wang Chengguang, who is now the richest man in Asia, it is just that.
He didn't have any portable space or anything like that, so he couldn't take so much gold with him even if he went there, which was inconvenient.
He was in a daze for a few seconds. When he wanted to say something, Disha Patani also came over and said in awkward Mandarin with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Disha, a sophomore in the history department. It is my honor to meet a legendary figure like you."
Wang Chengguang smiled and shook hands, "You speak Mandarin well."
Disha smiled sweetly, "I have always longed for Chinese culture and civilization, especially the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties."
Wang Chengguang made a few more polite remarks, and a group of people walked towards his CEO's office. On the way, Jiang Nansun simply said hello and went back to her office. She also went over to Erlu in a friendly manner and asked him about his health early in the morning under the pretext of going to the Wang family villa to play.
When Wang Manni greeted Disha after entering the office, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Have you decided to raise funds to expand the mobile phone factory in Zheng City?"
Brother Ma smiled and nodded. "The more workers we have, the greater the subsidies we will receive, and the greater our losses will be. But since we have gradually expanded beyond the mainland, whether it is our chat and communication software or our smartphones, we can still make small profits but quick turnover."
"What do you think will happen if we ask Disha, a beautiful high-caste girl, to promote mobile phones in India? Our mobile phones are indeed of excellent quality and fun to use. There are more than a billion users waiting to be tapped there."
Wang Chengguang drank a sip of tea with a strange expression, thought for a while, and nodded, "Since you and Lei Bushi are not afraid of losing money with me, if you are willing to try, I will not stop you."
"Then we should continue to build factories, production lines and recruit workers in Zhengzhou."
He suddenly thought of another question along the way. In fact, when Wang Chengguang went to Shanghai for the first time, when Da Miaomiao flew to Shanghai to visit her mother and Liu Ke who was pregnant, he checked in Shanghai and found that there were no people like Cheng Yong, Cao Bin and Lu Shouyi in this dimension.
Why not? He occasionally thought about it. In the story of I Am Not a God of Medicine, the story started in 2002, and another fake drug dealer Zhang Changlin was arrested in 2003. Cheng Yong was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison, but he was released after only three years.
The story about Cheng Yong was that he was released from prison in 2007 at the latest, and it was also said that Gleevec had been included in the medical insurance.
But in fact, Gleevec, which Gleevec competes with, was included in the medical insurance between 2015 and 2017. The timeline gap is a bit too big. Also, even if I am not the prototype in the story of the God of Medicine, I have not been sentenced to jail.
The prototype started buying generic drugs from India in 2004 and was not arrested until 2013.
Perhaps the huge gap here is the key to the story of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" that does not exist in the upper plane.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Doesn't your Penguin Video want to promote entertainment stars like popular internet celebrities? Have you chosen your target?"
Xiao Ma Ge was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "Some trainees who debuted in foreign countries, such as South Korea, seem to have achieved certain results abroad and attracted a large number of fans in the mainland. I think this is a good operation. If we hype it up, we can reap a lot of fan economy."
Wang Chengguang was a little speechless. He gave Xiao Ma Ge a cigarette and said with a smile, "How about I write a movie script for you, or select some good actors to shoot it..."
Since the story of I Am Not a God of Medicine does not exist in this dimension, it would be a good idea to write the script and have Xinghuo Video and Penguin Video invest in it together.
He certainly didn't do it to make money from the box office, but because since Gleevec and other drugs will not be included in the medical insurance until 2015 and 17, can shooting it in advance also attract attention? No, shooting it in advance is not just about paying attention.
Instead, it is to officially tell the current patients with CML that Baixiang has a 2000 yuan box of medicine that can prolong their lives, and they don't have to take Gleevec, which costs more than 20000 yuan. If the timeline is set around 2003, then judging by the laws at the time, the male protagonist did commit the crime of selling fake drugs and should go to jail. After 2013, we can only say that some laws have been changing.
It’s like in the last century, if you caught a thief and beat him half to death, nothing would happen. When the police came, they would at most ask you to hit him less. But now, the environment has gradually become that anyone can blackmail you.
Brother Ma looked at Wang Chengguang in surprise again, "You are the richest man in Asia, and you want to write a script? Our two big studios can shoot it together? That's right, in addition to business and making money, you, Mr. Wang, are also a great talent. I understand."
So you have too much talent to put to use? So you can show it off. Since both companies are not short of money, it is normal for them to invest together.
After Xiao Ma Ge drank a sip of tea, he smiled again and said, "Since you have written movie scripts, showing your talent, why don't you write a few TV series? We can shoot them together."
Wang Chengguang was speechless!
After thinking about it again and again, he nodded and said, "It's not impossible to shoot a TV series. You can provide some people and I can provide some people too. I think the earliest veteran Internet celebrities in my company, although they are financially independent, are also on the verge of being eliminated."
"It's also nice to guest-star in some TV series and movies occasionally."
This is certainly not a forced approach, but the foundation for creating stars by oneself will be more solid. He can use medicated food to train Xu Hongdou and Jiang Nansun into sports superstars, and he can also give some medicated food to Shi Xiaomeng, Yang Zixi and others to make them more sharp-eyed and sharp-eared and improve their learning ability.
Then learn more about acting, and have real acting skills... then there will be no problem in starring in I Am Not a God of Medicine. He feels that Shi Xiaomeng is still spiritual, and Yang Zixi can make up for it. After she has acting skills, she can guest-star in God of Medicine as a single mother whose daughter is a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.
Then give them a new ten-year contract, and no matter whether there are other platforms in the future, they will be tied to the Spark Chariot.
As for TV series? There is no In the Name of the People in this dimension either. They can all be used as the king of contemporary dramas to boost the ratings and increase the influence of Spark Video.
Take "In the Name of People" for example. It has been completed and CCTV is broadcasting the first round, episode by episode. After it is broadcast, it will appear on Xinghuo Video. You can only watch it if you become a member. If you pay attention to cracking down on piracy, this drama king will be able to attract a large number of members.
You can also try filming "Kuang Bi"! It's nothing more than changing the time frame and so on. That story doesn't exist in reality. This kind of drama king-level killing wave is very beneficial to commercial development.
Did he just go and grab Netflix's future king bomb? House of Cards is definitely not his turn, but Squidward and the like can also make big movies.
Xiao Ma Ge laughed a little too happily, "They are just your employees, why do you worry so much? Well, as long as you are willing, we Penguins will definitely cooperate with you throughout the process."
Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Then you will have to run some things first. Once I finish the script in the next few days, you can run more."
No matter whether he was filming Dying to Survive, In the Name of People, or Crazy Race, it was inevitable to deal with various relevant departments. With Wang Chengguang's current influence and status, he could actually complete it by making a few more trips.
After all, he is the richest Chinese in the world, the richest man in Asia, etc. These are not empty words.
He is so rich and has hundreds of thousands of employees. As long as he doesn't do something outrageous like Jack Ma, the government will be very tolerant of him.
If he goes back now and tells the Zhengzhou mobile phone factory that it wants to double the number of employees and add more production lines, it would be like a friendly conversation between his elder brothers in his hometown in Henan Province. It wouldn't be much worse if he invested in other places.
There are quite a few photos of various senior leaders inspecting and meeting.
Xiao Ma Ge was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded, "You say, I'll run."
It's just a script, nothing special. However, after looking at Disha Patani who was chatting with Wang Manni not far away, Xiao Ma Ge suddenly said, "If you can win this girl over, like she can hold shares for you casually and return them to you as soon as you ask, she can really play a huge role in our mobile phone penetration in India."
"The high castes like the Kshatriyas have great influence, and they have a circle of people around them."
Wang Chengguang almost vomited blood on the spot. He is the richest man in Asia, and you actually tricked him into using the beauty trap? This pony is really too capitalized!
After he took a sip of tea, he complained, "Why don't you contribute?"
Xiao Ma Ge drank tea calmly, "I'm a 40-something tech geek, I don't have that kind of charm, and my personality is different from yours. You have two or more girlfriends at the same time, everyone on the Internet knows about it? One more is just so-so, and you can even mix it into a gimmick of bringing glory to the country."
"No matter how far back in time they are, they are still the descendants of the princess. If you round them up, they are equal to the princess."
Wang Chengguang almost wanted to hit Xiao Ma Ge, "We have always believed in the nation that has the fragrance of incense filling Chang'an and the whole city covered in golden armor."
No matter how far back in time he goes, he is still a descendant of a princess. What bullshit!
………………
October 10th, Cold Dew.
As of today, the WeChat outside the Great Firewall has a total of 3500 million registered users, with nearly 200 million active users. Xinghuo Weibo has also become popular in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan and South Korea, with nearly million active users.
Another specific thing is that the market value of Xinghuo Weibo has reached 3800 billion Hong Kong dollars!
In the absence of any new stimulus, a market value of 3800 billion is really crazy. After all, Xinghuo Weibo is just a Weibo, not like Big Penguin, where Penguin Pay and Penguin Mall are all listed in a large group.
The latter’s market value of 6000 billion includes Alibaba!
When Wang Chengguang was sitting in the office, he sent "Dying to Survive", "In the Name of People" and "Kuang Biu" together. The former was a shot-by-shot script as detailed as a color comic, while the latter two were just outlines.
An hour later, Xiao Ma sent him a text message, "???"
Wang Chengguang called directly and asked, "Is the script not good?"
Brother Ma took a deep breath and complained, "Fortunately it's after the 08 Olympics, otherwise I would have had a hard time passing it even if I ran around before the Olympics. Although the last two only have outlines, they must involve a lot of evil things, right? These are not conducive to stability before the Olympics and can easily corrupt the audience."
Wang Chengguang, “…”
