Chapter 594 - 308: Acquisition Successful! Got Scolded
Han Shangyou stared at the day’s trending topics, his mind reeling.
1. "Chen Jincheng to Acquire LeTV Film and Television Division!"
2. "Chen Jincheng Acquires Contracts of Over 6,000 Black Cat TV Streamers"
3. "Chen Jincheng’s High-Stakes Bet Against the Internet Celebrity Young Master with Luxury Cars Worth Over 30 Million"
4. "Chen Jincheng Reviews the Film ’Huaxia Blue Helmets’!"
5. "Chen Jincheng Expresses Confidence in the Film ’Nameless’."
6. "Chen Jincheng Claims He Can Easily Dominate the Film Industry"
7. "Chen Jincheng States There Is Essentially No Difference Between Film and Short-Form Video"
His head was buzzing.
He’d never imagined that the platform’s trending list would one day become a single person’s personal playground.
And the thing was, every single one of these topics was a huge deal.
For starters, the bet involving luxury cars worth over 30 million was eye-catching enough on its own.
He clicked on it and saw that someone had leaked the details: Chen Jincheng and the Internet Celebrity Young Master were betting on the performance of *Nameless* and *Huaxia Blue Helmets*, with two luxury cars as the stakes.
That explained the subsequent trending topics about *Nameless* and *Huaxia Blue Helmets*.
’But isn’t this Chen Jincheng a little too arrogant?’
’How could short-form video and the film industry possibly be the same?’
Then, he looked at the second topic. ’Just as I thought.’
After news broke that Chen Jincheng had organized a party for Black Cat TV’s streamers, Han Shangyou had suspected that he was after them.
But this was a game-changer for Second-Life Star. After absorbing over 6,000 streamers from Black Cat TV, Second-Life Star would likely become the only 5-star Guild in the influencer world.
He then turned his attention to the number one topic.
This was the most shocking news of all.
So this was what the 3 billion raised from President Lei was for.
No one had seen this coming.
The critical point was that after acquiring the LeTV Film and Television division, Second-Life Star would no longer be just the sole 5-star Guild. It would have, in a sense, risen above all other MCN companies.
Online, everyone who saw the trending list first thing in the morning was stunned.
Chen Jincheng was just too incredible.
Acquiring the LeTV Film and Television division... Before this, no one had ever imagined an internet celebrity could pull off such a feat.
Crucially, these trending topics made it clear that Chen Jincheng was extremely confident in his ability to dominate the film industry.
But the people happiest to see this news were those at Second-Life Star.
This was especially true for Li Muchen and Zhang Ao’ai.
After all, they had always wanted to break into the film industry, but without any backing, they could only land minor roles.
Now that their boss had acquired the LeTV Film and Television division, it meant he was entering the film industry.
All at once, they had a powerful backer.
When Li Muchen saw the news, she couldn’t hide the smile on her pretty face.
After all, she had slept with the boss. He surely wouldn’t forget her.
’Will I finally get to experience what it feels like to be backed by a major tycoon?’
Tian Xiwei had also been woken up early by Xiaohu because of the news.
After reading the news, her jaw dropped in astonishment.
’He really acquired the LeTV Film and Television division.’
Xiaohu asked with an excited expression, "Weili, look! Chen Jincheng really acquired the LeTV division for you! I’m so jealous."
Hearing this, Tian Xiwei’s heart began to pound. THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.
After all, Chen Jincheng had promised to establish a film and television department just for her when he was trying to sign her. And he had done it.
Later, some bloggers online began saying that Chen Jincheng must have a crush on her to go to such lengths. They even speculated that he would make a huge move in the film industry just to make her a star.
Back then, Sister Hong had told her how lucky she was that the boss was going to acquire the LeTV Film and Television division just for her, but she hadn’t dared to believe it.
Now, he had actually succeeded in acquiring the LeTV Film and Television division.
What girl could possibly resist something like that?
Xiaohu couldn’t help but remind her, "Weili, when the boss gets back, you need to be more proactive. Otherwise, he might feel like all this effort wasn’t worth it, and that would be bad."
Tian Xiwei froze. "Then... then how do I be proactive?"
Having only recently graduated, it was as if she hadn’t even stepped into the real world yet. She was inexperienced in so many things.
Xiaohu gave her a speechless look. "Do I really have to teach you how to be proactive? Just treat him like your boyfriend. Do whatever a girlfriend would do for her boyfriend."
Tian Xiwei’s face instantly flushed red. "I... I’ve never had a boyfriend. You know that, Xiaohu."
"Ah!" Xiaohu was taken aback. It was true that Tian Xiwei hadn’t had a boyfriend when they were at the drama academy. She couldn’t help but ask, "Not even in high school?"
Tian Xiwei was a little exasperated. "My family was very strict."
"Alright then!" Xiaohu couldn’t help but sigh. Then she said seriously, "For the sake of my future, so I can ride your coattails, I’ll help you come up with a plan for when the boss gets back."
However, the people most impacted by this news were those within the LeTV Film and Television division.
As the head of the LeTV Film and Television division, Sun Ji had been under immense pressure lately.
The boss had skipped town, investors had pulled their funding, many projects had been halted, and there was basically no money left in their accounts.
It was safe to say the entire company was in a state of panic. Employees had no motivation to work, and he knew many were already looking for other jobs.
However, he believed that the LeTV Film and Television division still had potential and could be developed in the future.
Unfortunately, his belief in its potential wasn’t enough. After all, he was just a manager, not even a shareholder.
All he could do now was wait for another company to acquire the LeTV Film and Television division, or for it to be liquidated, leaving them all unemployed.
Obviously, the pessimistic Sun Ji had no idea that in another world, it was he who would lead the employees of the LeTV Film and Television division to create a new era of self-governance, without a boss.
