Chapter 133 What do you do if you have money without investing?

Chapter 133 What should I do if I don’t invest if I have money?

"bilie-jean-is-not-my-lover--" In the spacious living room, everyone stood or sat on the sofa, with joyful smiles on their faces. With the beautiful accompaniment, the screen of the LCD TV was playing the song's mv, and Joseph held the microphone and sang excitedly: "but-the-kid-is-not-my-son--" While singing, he circled around Michael Pitt, and suddenly he imitated Michael Jackson to make a "ao" sound.

Everyone laughed suddenly, and Wang Yang on the sofa couldn't help but smile and waved his arms, and whistled cheering with Zachary next to him.

After all, something very unpleasant happened a few days ago, so Jessica proposed to hold a happy party at home. Wang Yang naturally nodded in agreement, so he invited everyone to play this weekend. Including Rachel, Zachary, Tom Willing, Zoe Descher and other good friends in "Singing and Dance 3", they happened to be preparing for promotional activities in Los Angeles; there were also friends in "Sweetheart" such as Joseph, James Franko, Anne Darren; and several young people including Kate Hudson, who brought Zoe; of course, there were also some lovers, which were very lively.

Not everyone sang in the living room, basking in the sun and blowing in the back garden, eating in the dining room and kitchen, playing cards and playing games... they were freely playing in this big room. Of course, like the study room and the private parts of the bedroom have locked the doors.

"she-says-i-am-the-one——" Joseph clenched his fists selflessly, walked behind the "space step" with no aesthetic sense, jumped up and tiptoed, and sang: "but-the-kid-is-not-my-son——Oh!" He staggered and fell two steps, and everyone laughed again. Michael Pete said: "Joey, you can't dance ballet like this!" Joseph jumped up again, tiptoed steadily, and said: "It was just a mistake just now, continue! she-says-i-am-the-one——”

Amid the applause and laughter, Joseph finished singing a song "bilie-jean", and he glanced at everyone: "Who will sing next?" He suddenly stopped his eyes on Wang Yang and shouted, "Wang Yang!" Everyone immediately applauded, looking at Wang Yang on the sofa, Michael smiled, "Come on, Yang!" Tom Willing also said, "Yang, don't be shy, you haven't sang yet." Zachary pushed Wang Yang for a while and smiled, "man, please!"

"Ahem!" Wang Yang stood up with a smile, without taking the microphone in front of him, looked left and right, and said in confusion: "Where is my guitar? Where is my guitar? I like to sing and play, I'll look for it!" As he said that, he smiled and quickly left the living room and walked towards the back garden.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm. Next to the swimming pool in the back garden, there were several sun loungers and a set of sun umbrella tables and chairs. Jessica, Scarlett, Rachel, Anne and other girls were wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and cool clothes in medium shorts. They were either lying on sun loungers or sitting next to the tables and chairs, drinking drinks while chatting from time to time, enjoying the casual summer.

Wang Yang was about to walk towards them and listen to the girls' gossip. At this moment, he suddenly heard a few sneaky "Yang, Yang!" He turned his head and saw Joshua, who looked strange, standing behind, and came out from somewhere. Wang Yang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" Joshua looked at the girls in the distance, looked at him again, and rubbed his hands and smiled, "Hey, you know I don't have a girlfriend now." Wang Yang shrugged, guessed what he meant, and smiled, "So, do you want to pursue one?"

"yes!" Joshua snapped his fingers, hugged his shoulders, looked at the girls, and said in an excited voice: "Scarlett Johansson! Don't you think she is beautiful? It's also very interesting! Man, what kind of person do you think she is? If I attack her, do you say I have a chance?"

"How do I know?" Wang Yang looked at Scarlett lying on the sun lounger. How could he know what kind of person she is? A girl with outstanding performance talent? He smiled and said, "My man, let it go and chase it! Whether it will be successful depends on her."

Joshua nodded in contemplation, touched his chin and analyzed: "I have seen through this kind of animal like girls! They all like strong men, such as you are handsome, or you are rich, talented, and have a high status... They are funny and humorous, sweet, but if you are a man! Anyway, if you want a girl, you must at least have a little inside..."

He suddenly looked up and down at Wang Yang and said in surprise: "Oh my God, why do you seem to have it all! I really can't imagine that you are a white person. Wow, all the girls in this country will go crazy for you!" Wang Yang glared at him and said: "What are you talking about?" Joshua felt inexplicably spread his hands and said: "What am I talking about? Man, I am a Mexican. You know a large number of white people are so superficial."

Wang Yang smiled and nodded, "Factual. But I don't agree with the previous words. I think it should be said that if you want a girl, you have to have the traits that she likes, and each girl has different requirements." Joshua curled his lips disdainfully and said, "And their similarity is the part I said."

He murmured again, "I am handsome now, a little money, a potential talent, a potential status, very funny, knows sweet words, and is a man... Cough!" He himself couldn't believe it, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Yes, I am motivated! Girls still like this!"

"Good luck." Wang Yang patted his shoulder, then walked to the girls with a smile, and said hello, "Hi, beauties," Jessica, Scarlett, Rachel, and Anne, Elin, Zoe, who were lying on the sun loungers, looked at him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Yang!" He leaned down to the vacant sun next to Jessica, and said, "The sun is pretty good, what are you talking about?"

The girls all laughed and looked at each other and drank the drinks. Jessica gave him a blank look and said, "I'm talking about some girls' topics, don't ask!" Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh, nodded, and joked, "Okay, I'm just a gossip. I'm a paparazzi. But I'm a director, and girls, you all look very actor-like, so who wants to make a movie with me? Tell me!"

"No, no..." The girls all smiled and shook their heads. Rachel sat up and said with a smile: "Yang, a man cannot be so gossipy." Aileen, Zoe and others agreed, Jessica reached out and patted his head, and smiled crisply: "Don't destroy your masculinity!"

"Oh, thank you!" Wang Yang grinned, and was about to stand up and leave without disturbing them about girls' topics, but when he saw Joshua walking over, he kept winking at him.

Joshua immediately came to the front and smiled and said, "Hey, everyone!" Amid the greetings of everyone, he walked to the sun table and sat down. While picking up a can of drinks to uncover them, he asked, "What are you talking about?" Wang Yang immediately smiled and continued, "Some girls' topics have nothing to do with men." The girls all said, and Joshua raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course! Then..."

A man with ambition potential! He thought about it slightly, then turned out the topic he had just thought of, looked at Scarlett's direction, and smiled and said, "Do you have any good investment ideas? I'm going to do some investment. Do you know that I have played a few small roles, and I have some small money. What should I do if I have money or not? I'm very mature, not the kind of person who just messes around with a little money."

Jessica smiled unanimously; Rachel beside her smiled and encouraged, "Joshua, I support you. But remember to be cautious when investing, don't worry." Joshua looked at her with a touching face and said, "Rachel, why are you not my sister?" Rachel shrugged, Jessica glared at him, Scarlett, Anne and others laughed.

"My idea now is to do some real estate, agency and mortgage..." Joshua randomly counted several businesses, looking very modest, and said, "Actually, it's a family business, nothing great. Then..." Seeing that Scarlett seemed not very interested, he looked at Wang Yang who was drinking a drink and pulled him down: "Yang, what about you? I heard that Flame Movie is buying a special effects company recently, but don't have movies... Have you invested in some family business?"

The girls all looked over, Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, "No, my interest is not in the catering industry; my father has no idea of ​​opening a chain restaurant, so he just redecorated it." Thinking of his recent investment, he continued, "In fact, I do have two plans for acquiring movies now. I am talking to a Canadian game development company called bioware."

Since hiring Paul Emory as his agent, he has given the first task to find a game development company suitable for acquisition. Paul Emory's strengths are not entertainment matters such as packaging and promotion, endorsement activities, etc. He is good at investing and acquisitions, managing funds, etc. When he first heard of this plan, Paul was surprised and asked him several times: "Are you saying it wrong?"

Because in the video game industry, investors have always been interested in acquiring large publishers, and no one will invest heavily in developers, and no one will invest. But now someone is wielding a 15 million check and saying, "I want to invest in a game developer"? This is an unprecedented thing.

Wang Yang just replied to him: "I'm not wrong, I just want to buy a developer." His investment was not to make a lot of money, but to make fun games. He does not have this ability, but he can use money to support those who are capable to do it.

After Paul Emory confirmed, he began to look for a job. In fact, it was very simple. The 15 million check immediately attracted the attention of many game developers. Then, he soon sent a list of names of game developers to Wang Yang. The list included Black Island Studio, a subsidiary of Pandemic, biowww.piaotian.comterplay. It is a famous rpg (role-playing) game developer, with its representative works such as "Fallout", and

"The Gate of Beautiful" jointly developed by bioware. But its life is not easy now. Shortly after the release of "Fallout 2", a large number of outstanding employees left the studio because Black Island leader Feigas Urquette had a very bad temper. At the beginning of this year, Black Island announced the production of "Ton", and the company was full of energy. As a result, Interplay decided to cancel this plan recently. Now the entire Black Island is full of sorrow. According to Paul Emory, it is very serious and will collapse at any time.

In addition, Black Island is not an independent company, but an interplay, so the acquisition will inevitably be a layer of trouble.

So although Feigas-Urquette's attitude was very sincere and hoped to get the funds to solve the problem of Black Island. However, after Wang Yang seriously considered it, he decided to give up Black Island, not because of the acquisition trouble, but because of its internal contradictions. Looking at the establishment of Black Island, it has been a movie with lost talents, and a large number of people have been leaving. Apart from the poor management of Interplay, is there nothing else?

He didn't want a terminally ill company, he wanted a vibrant company. So he set his sights on bioware, another developer of "The Gate of Beautiful".

In 1995, three doctors in Edmonton, Canada took off their white coats and established bioware studio. In 1997, they developed the "Infinite" engine, which is one of the most advanced and successful game engines at present. This engine also attracted Black Island Studios, which is authorized by the "Dungeons and Dragons" rules. The two companies hit it off and produced 2.5 million sets of "Born Gate" sales. Now bioware is independently developing an RPG game called "Night of Winter".

What Wang Yang is interested in Bioware is its innovative ability and strong storytelling ability in RPG games, such as "The Gate of Bode 2" that can play different plot directions; at the same time, it also has excellent R&D technology and a vigorous company atmosphere. This is definitely a promising potential company, and it also has enough ability to make "The Ninth District" into a fun RPG game.

His plan is to acquire bioware first, and then allow it to absorb outstanding talents from Black Island Studios. The two companies have had a good cooperative relationship for many years, and most of the employees know each other, so there is no problem in integration. Now the acquisition team led by Paul Emory has conducted preliminary negotiations with bioware. It is expected that the entire acquisition price will not exceed 10 million, but the specific details will still be discussed.

"That's it." Wang Yang took a sip of ice-cold Coke to moisten his throat, looked at the girls and Joshua, and smiled: "If everything goes well, I will soon own a game development company. If it is the developer of "The Gate of Beautiful, it's really exciting."

"Oh!" Anne, who didn't play computer games at all, nodded in a daze, but her face was full of happy smiles for him; and Rachel, Scarlett, Ellen and others couldn't get any better, and they basically didn't understand games, let alone the game industry behind them; only Jessica, who had already heard him talk, had a proud smile on her face, "I know what he was talking about."

Seeing that the girls including Scarlett and others were attracted by Wang Yang, Joshua grabbed his hair helplessly and muttered secretly: "I would have let him go if I had known it, and the scene is completely controlled by him!" At this time, Scarlett asked with a curious smile: "What about the second one? You just said that there are two plans."

"Yes." Wang Yang smiled. The plan was because there were 5 million left after acquiring the game developer. Of course, this was not true. The real reason was that he was very interested in that thing. He nodded and smiled: "The second plan is a website, maybe you know, blogger."

The girls all suddenly said, of course they knew what website it was, and they only knew it because of him; and now they are not surprised by his acquisition plan. Everyone knows that Wang Yang is one of the earliest bloggers. When blogger had only tens of thousands of registered users, he was one of them. It is said that his use once led to a surge in the number of registered users.

In Hollywood and film and television entertainment circles, celebrities and celebrities still use their personal websites to communicate with movie fans and fans. Not many people use blogs; Wang Yang is the most famous person who likes to play blogs. He is the top blogger in blogger and has attracted many friends to join.

"blogger?" Joshua frowned, feeling confused, and asked, "Brother, as long as I know, it seems that it can't make money, right? It's almost gone bankrupt." The girls who follow his blog all heard about this, and they were also a little confused for a moment.

In the 1990s, Evan Williams and Meg Hulihan established pyra and opened the test blogger service to the public in August 1999. Now almost two years have passed, blogger is becoming more and more successful, but pyra is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Because blogger's business is completely free, it can't find any profitable way at present. With the bursting of the Nasdaqko net stock bubble, it has become even more difficult. The company's accounts are only out of stock and there is no VC investment. Pyra has no money anymore and has been owing employees' wages in recent months. This matter has finally exploded recently.

The company's employees left on a large scale, including Meg Hulihan, one of the founders. Even the founders resigned? This can be said to be a situation of dying. The bankruptcy seems to have become a fact. All that remains is to choose whether to announce it today or tomorrow.

But another founder, Evan Williams, did not give up. He still struggled to support the normal operation of blogger, but he also released news of seeking funds, hoping to get help and overcome the difficulties. At this time, someone was willing to inject 5 million yuan into it.

"Yes, but I don't plan to make money on it." Wang Yang shrugged, glanced at everyone, and smiled: "I bought it mainly because I think it's good. You know everyone can write, show, and share it. This is the trend!"

The reason why he thinks that the blog is good is that this thing is similar to a sharing diary, which can share his latest life, mentality, and opinions with others. In the future, he can go back and read it, see his situation at that time, and also get to know his friends and others in the same way, which is very interesting.

After many viral marketing and his own feelings, he knows so much that people are eager to share and interact. Blogger is a very good way, such as life, comments on current affairs, novels, articles, etc.... Whatever you want to share is what you are, it is definitely a trend.

In fact, the rapid growth of blog users also proves this. Now its number of bloggers is about to exceed 500,000; and he often sees blogs in some future films and TV shows, which shows that it will definitely be very popular in the future. As for whether blogs will still be something that "can't make money" at that time? It doesn't matter, and he doesn't believe that popular things will have no commercial value. Blogs will sooner or later find their own way of making profits.

"Blog is a long-term potential stock. It may not be impossible to make a profit, but you have to take it slowly. Before this, I didn't want blogger to go bankrupt. I am one of its most popular bloggers!" Wang Yang smiled and took a sip of the drink, looked at Joshua, and smiled and said, "And as Joshua said, what should I do if I have money or not? I am very mature, not the kind of person who just messes around all day long if I have money."

The girls all laughed, and Zoe Descher made a "wow" sound; Rachel looked at Jessica next to her and said seriously and jokingly: "I really envy this guy!" Elin also smiled and nodded, saying: "Me too! That idiot Zachary will make me angry all day long." Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on her pretty face. She held his arm affectionately, and smiled sweetly: "Ha, you envy it!" Wang Yang smiled and kissed her forehead.
