Due to the participation of big-name players such as Gu Fei, Nadal, Ferrero, Moya, this year's China Open has received widespread attention, including China Five Sets, ESPN Chinese, Spanish TV Five Sets, Sky TV and other media broadcast a series of competitions live.

Portals such as Sina have also set up special columns for the China Open, which not only sends a large number of reporters to the scene to shoot and master first-hand information, but also invites participating players to settle in Sina.

However, Sina failed to invite Gu Fei, the world's number one seed, because Gu Fei has signed a contract with Tencent Company to serve as Tencent's lifelong global image spokesperson, and has invested in the company and become one of the shareholders.

Gu Fei gave up the endorsement fee and invested US$50 million, but he obtained 5% of Tencent's shares, which is a lot.

At present, the market valuation of international investment institutions to Tencent is US$2 billion, and 5% is equivalent to US$100 million. Judging from the current maximum sponsorship level of US$5 million per year between Gu Fei and major brands, Tencent's valuation is not much different. They believe that Gu Fei's commercial value can last for more than 10 years!

In order to pull Gu Fei onto Tencent's chariot, Tencent's management, including Xiao Ma Ge, had difficult consultations with other investment institutions, and finally agreed to Gu Fei's joining.

You should know that now relying on businesses such as Mobile Dream Network, Tencent has already achieved profitability, and the hundreds of millions of customers it controls is its real wealth.

Gu Fei is already very content to be able to become a small shareholder of Tencent. He has no intention of seeking more equity. He just needs to follow the steps and accompany Tencent's growth, the benefits that can be obtained in the future will be enough.

This time I returned to China to participate in the China Open, Gu Fei also had an important task, which was to shoot advertisements for Tencent.

The location of the advertisement is near the Bird's Nest. The Olympic Park here will be the main competition area of ​​the 2008 Yanjing Olympics. It is undoubtedly Gu Fei's nostalgic mentality that chooses to shoot advertisements in this ever-changing place.

"The boss is here!" Just as Gu Fei was about to finish shooting, the Tencent staff on the periphery shouted.

Gu Fei was unmoved and insisted on finishing the last set of shots. Then he looked out. Pony, wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, was standing outside the studio and looking inside.

Pony, born in 1971, was in an era when men were most energetic and physically energetic. He had just recovered from the brink of bankruptcy for a few years and still maintained a cautious attitude.

Compared with Dong Ge who likes to appear in the media in the future, Feng Qingyang and Wang Mei, Pony seems to be a little more low-key, which is completely different from Tencent's business philosophy of attacking everywhere.

"Pony, good afternoon!" Gu Fei greeted Pony while wiping his sweat.

In the middle of the year, Gu Fei's "Huanyu Investment" had frequently communicated and contacted Tencent, trying to take advantage of the benefits of Gu Fei's entry into Tencent to find a small shareholder position for Gu Fei.

During the negotiations, the staff and the leaders in charge were busy, and the two big bosses Gu Fei and Pony became good friends.

Although Gu Fei was young, his previous life experience gave him extraordinary confidence in the Internet, and he also had a higher vision for many Internet operating modes than this era.

In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why Gu Fei impressed Pony and eventually joined Tencent and became a small shareholder.

Gu Fei is the top scorer in science in Guixi. It took only three years to become the "King of Ball" while playing basketball, while completing all the exams in the Department of Economics and obtain a bachelor's degree in advance.

Pony believes that Gu Fei is a rare talent. Even if he retires in the future, it is more than enough to act as a strategic consultant to Tencent based on what he learned in Fuhua.

"Brother Fei, how are you doing now?" Although Gu Fei is relatively young, most of the people who know him call him Fei Ge. This name has long been spread throughout the circle and throughout China.

"The live part has been filmed. Looking back at the editing of the great director, do you need to reshoot the camera." The advertisement is not difficult, and the image film will not be launched until the end of the year, so Gu Fei is not in a hurry.

In order to take care of Gu Fei's itinerary, Tencent's advertising and image promotional video shooting progress is arranged according to Gu Fei's time, which is the benefit of Gu Fei's becoming a shareholder.

If Gu Fei is an ordinary image spokesperson, driven by sponsorship fees, he has to work hard for the fund owner, day and night for a few taels of silver.

"Brother Fei, you have a great image. I am looking forward to the finished product of the image film!" Pony is very polite to Gu Fei. First, Gu Fei is already in the same trench as him, and the voting rights of 5% of the equity in Gu Fei's hands were also handed over to Pony. Second, as China's top international superstar, Gu Fei has great influence internationally and deserves this respect.

Speaking of which, Pony is also a scholar with red lips and white teeth, and a graceful demeanor. It does not match the legendary bald programmer temperament, but standing next to Gu Fei, the pressure is quite high.

He just celebrated his 22nd birthday in the best season in his life. Years of training have given him a stronger body than ordinary people. His handsome facial features not only meet the aesthetics of Chinese people, but even Europeans and Americans have been conquered by him.

In recent years, countless victories have created Gu Fei's unique temperament, which makes him charming in every move.

Probably, this is the taste of success!

…………

In the evening, Gu Fei invited Pony to dinner at Diaoyutai. Although the two were 12 years apart, Gu Fei had experienced many vicissitudes in his previous life, so the two of them would not have no common topics when they chatted.

In addition, Gu Fei also has his own insights on the future development trend of the Internet and Tencent's business direction, which made Pony jokingly say that this cooperation not only introduced funds, soft power and image spokespersons, but Gu Fei is also a perfect product manager.

Gu Fei brought He Xiaolan and Pony also brought his wife to the dinner. The atmosphere of the dinner that originally brought a strong business meeting became more harmonious.

Neither Gu Fei nor Pony refuses to establish a good personal relationship outside of official business. After all, both of them have great influence, and they can benefit from it together.

At the dinner, Gu Fei and Pony had a great conversation, and the two sides reached a consensus on some developments of Tencent, which is very important. Pony is Tencent’s largest shareholder and chairman. Although Gu Fei doesn’t have many shares, he has great influence at home and abroad, and his words and deeds can affect the development of the company.

As for He Xiaolan and Mrs. Ma, they also had a good chat. Both of them were from wealthy families. They talked a lot about common topics when they talked about each other, and they both had gentle and sophisticated personalities and similar temperaments.

Later, when the media took stock of Tencent's development history and even the history of China's Internet, this dull and low-key dinner became an important node.
Chapter completed!
