Li Ka-shing sells Tencent shares; Yang Shoucheng of Yinghuang

The five people sat together chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Ling Xiaosu is no longer the "aloof" person he was at the beginning; he is quite talkative.

"Have you heard about the movie that's been a hit lately?" Ling Xiaosu suddenly asked.

"What movie?" Everyone looked at Ling Xiaosu.

"I think it's called something like 'My Sassy Girl,'" Ling Xiaosu hadn't seen it, but he'd heard of it.

Zhou Yan was taken aback when he heard the name, but then he realized what it meant.

"South Korean movies?"

"Yes," Ling Xiaosu nodded, "This movie is currently a hit throughout East Asia, I don't know if it will be shown here."

"My Sassy Girl" is an absolute phenomenon. It was a hit throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia, and even created a "sassy girlfriend" craze, leading many women in China to adopt the "sassy style" and consider it a fashion trend.

Around the turn of the millennium, Korean and Japanese cultural influences became very strong.

During this period, many young people were into Korean and Japanese culture.

Whether it's clothing, music, or film and television, they all pursue so-called fashion trends.

This is also one of the reasons why the country is vigorously developing cultural industries such as film, television, and music.

However, in the face of cultural invasion, it is difficult to resist by one or two people alone. More people need to stand up, create more excellent works, and achieve reverse cultural export.

There are many Chinese people, and even more people with ideas, but they lack opportunities.

Just like novels, countless excellent works have been created since the birth of online platforms.

The previous online novel trilogy included "Zhu Xian", "The Journey of the Misty Birds", and "The Legend of the Little Soldier".

Later came legendary tomb-raiding books such as "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light."

"It seems that 'Assassin Couple' can ride the coattails of 'My Sassy Girl's' popularity," Zhou Yan thought to himself.

After finishing their meal, Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu did not leave, but waited for Zhou Yan and the other two, as they wanted to spend more time with Zhou Yan.

Not far from them, the three brothers Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and Lin Jiachuan looked on with envy.

They also wanted to join the chat.

Che Xiao looked at Dong Xuan and Guan Yue, secretly comparing himself to them.

"I really don't understand why Zhou Yan would be interested in those two. They're not as good as me," Che Xiao said, very confident in his looks and figure.

She felt that she was just missing an opportunity.

Che Xiao had no idea that Zhou Yan, Guan Yue, and Dong Xuan were not in that kind of relationship at all.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yan treated Dong Xuan and Guan Yue to a lavish meal.

For the next period of time, Zhou Yan began to live a monotonous life, going back and forth between three points.

Aside from attending classes, I spend my time writing, learning music theory, and playing the piano.

With his current knowledge, he has already completed the composition of "Tianxia" and "Mingyue Jianghu" and is just waiting to record the songs.

On September 16th, Zhou Yan spent Fan Binbin's 21st birthday with him.

In October, Zhou Yan invited Jia Jingwen to fly to Hong Kong.

He learned an important piece of information from a friend—Li Ka-shing's son, Richard Li, planned to sell five percent of his Tencent shares.

Initially, Yingke Capital and IDG spent a total of US$1.1 million to acquire 10% of Penguin's shares, with each company holding 5%.

Yingke Capital is currently short of funds and plans to sell 5% of its shares.

Zhou Yan personally visited Yingke Capital to discuss the matter.

After back and forth between the two parties, Zhou Yan finally bought it back for 30 million.

In two years, Li Ka-shing made almost ten times his initial investment.

After finalizing the deal, Zhou Yan did not rush to leave, but instead went to visit Yuan Heping.

Since we're already here, we should at least spend a few days in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is indeed bustling, with towering buildings and a network of crisscrossing roads.

You can find all the world's major luxury brands here.

But for ordinary people, the pressure of life here is also great.

Especially housing.

A significant number of people live in coffin-shaped houses.

If Zhou Yan had to live here, he would rather go back to his hometown in the countryside.

Yuen Woo-ping learned in advance of Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen's arrival and made a special phone call to arrange for them to accompany them.

Among them were Yuen Cheung-yan and Tsui Hark.

Yuen Woo-ping and Tsui Hark have a very good relationship; they have collaborated more than once.

He was also the one who facilitated the special effects production for "The World's Finest".

Tsui Hark's company made money.

Zhou Yan's TV series achieved the desired special effects.

Both sides benefited.

Tsui Hark was also very curious about Zhou Yan, so he readily accepted Yuen Woo-ping's invitation.

Zhou Yan brought many gifts when he visited for the first time.

At the dinner table, Zhou Yan chatted with Yuen Woo-ping, Yuen Cheung-yan, and Tsui Hark.

Jia Jingwen sat quietly to the side, occasionally interjecting with a few words.

Yuen Woo-ping realized that the relationship between Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen was not simple.

As a veteran in the entertainment industry, he was already used to this kind of thing.

So it was just a reminder to Zhou Yan to be careful and not cause a death during the peak of his career.

Zhou Yan naturally knew what it meant.

He has always been very careful in this regard.

This was especially true for Jia Jingwen.

Because Alyssa Chia is highly fertile.

One careless move could lead to someone's death.

Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen stayed at Yuan Heping's house until after nine o'clock before leaving.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Yan plopped down on the sofa.

"I'm going to take a shower first," Jia Jingwen said, holding her change of clothes.

"Together," Zhou Yan said, standing up immediately.

Jia Jingwen smiled slightly, "I'll go run the toilet first."

Jia Jingwen quickly walked into the bathroom.

Zhou Yan took her pajamas out of her suitcase and went into the bathroom.

There were many decorative items on the hotel tables.

There was a general on horseback, holding a long spear, standing tall and imposing.

There was the Titanic, and Jack stood behind Rose, embracing her from behind.

There are also many other decorative items.

The air was thick with moisture, and a layer of mist covered the glass.

Hazy.

Only two figures could be seen.

……

The next day, Zhou Yan got up early to wash up, planning to take a good stroll around Hong Kong.

Just then, my phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number.

"Feed? Who?" Zhou Yan asked tentatively.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Yan?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

"Yes, that's me. And who are you?" The other person spoke very politely, and Zhou Yan couldn't help but guess who they were.

"I am Yang Shoucheng from the Emperor Group," Yang Shoucheng introduced himself.

"Chairman Yang?" Zhou Yan immediately knew who it was upon hearing the name.

His face was full of surprise.

"What does he want from me?" Zhou Yan wondered to himself.

"Mr. Jay Chou came to Hong Kong without even letting me know, so I could have been a good host," Yang Shoucheng invited Zhou Yan. "Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together."

"Okay," Zhou Yan said, though she didn't know what the other party was going to do, she didn't refuse.

Yang Shoucheng is quite powerful in Hong Kong.

Many Hong Kong movie stars are artists under Yinghuang.

Moreover, Yinghuang is known for treating its artists very well.

"What time is it?"

"I'll send a driver to pick you up at 7 p.m.

"Okay, I'm staying at the Regent Hotel now. Just give me a call when the time comes."

"Then I won't bother Mr. Jay Chou any longer," Yang Shoucheng said, hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Shoucheng immediately picked up the phone on the table and made several more calls to make arrangements.
