Chapter 326: Realistic Pressure and Investing in Bilibili

"Modu, I'm back again..."

Wei Yang looked at the stop sign on the street and sighed while sitting in the car.

This year has been very tiring for him. He has been busy filming since the Spring Festival. He stopped for a month and was busy promoting the movie. Now that "Celebrating More Than Years" has been filmed, he can finally relax.

"Afei, call Hu Ya later and ask how our visas are going, and then give me a flight schedule."

"I know, I'll talk to Secretary Hu when I get back."

Wei Yang nodded contentedly, and then asked with a smile: "How about it? If you really don't want to go to the United States with me this time, I will reimburse you for the whole trip."

Wei Fei smiled shyly: "I won't go. I will spend more time with my grandma at home. Besides, I want to visit Xiaoyu's parents."

"Meeting my mother-in-law so soon?"

Wei Yang was a little surprised. Wei Fei was his personal assistant. He had to closely cooperate with Wei Yang's work and life. He could receive orders at any time, so he had very little private time at his disposal.

This time Wei Yang went abroad for vacation. Apart from the necessary bodyguards, he didn't have many other needs, so he also gave Wei Fei a vacation.

It is understandable that Wei Fei hooked up with a young clerk at the company last year, gave up traveling abroad, chose to accompany his grandma, and live a two-person world with his girlfriend.

But Wei Yang didn't expect that the two of them had only been dating for a little more than a year, and they had already reached the point of meeting their parents.

"Her mother heard that I am from out of town and wants to meet her. Besides, you also know the situation at my family, so I want to get married as soon as possible."

Wei Fei's girlfriend, who is a clerk, is not bad looking, has average income and education, but she is a native of Shanghai.

In the marriage and love markets of big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, local household registration is extremely advantageous.

Girls with local registered permanent residence in Shanghai seldom marry outside the country, and even in the early years, not many married outsiders. Now with the development of the times, this concept has changed somewhat, but it is still mainly local marriages.

It is very difficult for a young man from out of town to marry a local girl. Not only do he have to have excellent personal conditions, but he also often has to face the special vision of some older generations.

Wei Yang has lived in the Magic City for decades in his two lifetimes. He knows the psychology of some of the older generation of Magic City people.

To put it harshly, people outside Zhejiang, Shanghai and southern Jiangsu do not consider it at all. It is not only economic issues, but also the inconsistency between living habits and customs.

Therefore, for many parents in Shanghai, no matter whether their children are boys or girls, as soon as they hear that the person they are dating is from other places, their first thought is to stop them.

Wei Fei's situation is a little better. His girlfriend's family conditions are average, and his good job + high income are good bonus points.

Several years later, Blue Whale is no longer a small company. It is still somewhat famous in Shanghai. Being able to work here is quite respectable in the eyes of ordinary people.

Not to mention that Wei Fei is Wei Yang's personal assistant, and even his executive agent. He has a special position, high authority, and a very considerable income.

His basic salary alone easily exceeds 10,000 yuan per month. Performance + bonus + year-end bonus, his annual income is about 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.

This is only the apparent income. As Wei Yang's confidant, Wei Fei knows a lot, and he is inevitably responsible for handling other tasks requested by Wei Yang personally.

Boss Wei just wants to win over, and he is not too stingy at ordinary times. He occasionally sends "little red envelopes" and random gadgets that he doesn't need.

The total of these things is definitely not much more than his salary.

In 2012, Wei Fei's annual salary was hundreds of thousands, and his so-called disadvantages such as being a foreigner, having no parents, and having a high school education became less important to some extent.

To be honest, in Wei Yang's opinion, Wei Fei could actually stretch himself a little more, so there was no need to be so anxious.

He is now even younger than Wei Yang, and his income has increased sharply in the past two years. Now even buying a house is a bit stressful.

Boss Wei has a bright future, and as someone close to him, as long as he follows along in a down-to-earth manner, he will follow the rising tide in the future, and he can definitely wait a few more years.

When Wei Fei accumulates more capital, he will be more popular in the marriage market and the level of girls he can contact will be higher.

When Wei Yang first debuted, Wei Fei followed him. Over the years, he has been working hard and loyally. Boss Wei also regards him as half a younger brother. If possible, he naturally hopes that his younger brother can get a better home.

Of course, if Wei Fei really liked that little clerk, Wei Yang wouldn't say anything.

But it would be good to stay in contact for two more years and get to know the personality and family. The progress is a bit fast now.

However, he also understood that Wei Fei's father died young and his mother remarried. He grew up with his grandparents. His grandfather passed away two years ago and his grandmother was in poor health.

The old man only had a few wishes. Seeing his grandson get married and have children was worthy of his son who died early, so Wei Fei was anxious to fulfill his grandma's wish.

Whether this kind of thing is right or not is aside, but Wei Yang, an outsider, can't persuade him.

Comparing his feelings, if Wei Yang encountered a similar situation to Wei Fei, he might make the same choice, so he could only remind him more and help him palm more eyes, but there was nothing else he could do.

When the car drove to Yunhua Mansion, where his parents lived, Wei Yang asked Wei Fei and Huo Jun, who was driving, to wait before he entered the villa.

About ten minutes later, Wei Yang and the nanny came out with several boxes and boxes.

"This box is a tonic. I asked if it's suitable for the elderly. A Fei will bring it to your grandmother. This box of Moutai and this blood swallow are good things for beauty and skin care. You can go back to your father-in-law's house to get them and make a good impression..."

Wei Shan and Wang Yunping were reluctant to spend money, so Wei Yang would bring a lot of bags every time he came back, or give money to Xiao Zhao to help him make crazy purchases.

He has many friends and partners in Shanghai, and they rely on boss Wei Yang to make money. They like to give gifts during festivals.

Especially when they learned that Wei Yang's parents moved to Shanghai, they never ran out of good things at home, and even cleaned up a room to store these gifts.

Just now, when I heard that Wei Fei was going to visit his father-in-law, Wei Yang went to get some things, because the family couldn't use them all anyway.

The wine and bird's nests add up to nearly 20,000 yuan. Wei Fei bought some more by himself, and this gift was very impressive.

"Brother, I..."

"Okay, do your best. I wish you success. Come on, Lao Huo, these two sets of cosmetics are for your wife."

Wei Yang will not favor one over the other. Wei Fei is his confidant, and so is Huo Jun. This time, it is a special case, so Wei Fei gets more, but Huo Jun's share is not less.

Huo Jun and Wei Fei have a good relationship, and he doesn't care about this. Instead, he took out a set of cosmetics on his own initiative.

"My wife can't use it either, so give Ah Fei a set,"

"Okay, I still need a set of cosmetics. After all, it's the first time we meet."

If Wei Yang really wants to give it, it's not a big deal to give it 100,000 or 80,000, but now it's not known whether it will work. Wouldn't it be a big mistake to give so many things?

Besides, you set such a high standard for the first time. What should you do in the future? There are also etiquettes for giving gifts.

Wei Yang doesn't care. Tiantian can afford this standard. Wei Fei still has to live in the future.

Huo Jun doesn't really not understand, but he just didn't react. He smiled knowingly and patted Wei Fei on the shoulder.

"Come on, get married later, and I'll give you a big red envelope."

After seeing the two off, Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh. The little kid who used to follow him around is now thinking about getting married.

Although Liu Shishi's previous mention of having a child was just a whim, it also shows that as he gets older, many sharp and realistic problems begin to approach Wei Yang, and when people around him get married one after another, his pressure will become greater and greater.

After returning to the villa, Wang Yunping asked a few more questions, and Wei Yang casually found an excuse to perfunctorily pass it over.

If she knew about this, he would definitely be tortured!

Instead of entangled in these issues, Wei Yang would rather do business, make more money, and create more favorable and generous conditions for himself and even future generations.

At present, there are more than two months left before the end of 2012, and Wei Yang's wealth and funds in hand have also grown sufficiently.

This money can't be idle all the time. In addition to daily investment and financial management, Wei Yang also personally watched several projects.

One of them is a pink website called Bilibili.

This website is not very famous yet, and its user base is very small. Even among websites of the same category, it is weaker than Station A.

According to Wei Yang's investigation, Station B, which was founded in 2009, had not yet officially established a company at the beginning of last year, and some of the founding members were even part-time.

It was also last year that Station B received its first wave of angel investment due to the need to upgrade its servers. The funds came from Chen Rui, who was currently working at Kingsoft Software.

The story of this buddy and Bilibili is very interesting.

He was originally a die-hard user of Station B. Because he liked anime and the atmosphere of the website, he was interested in developing in this direction, so when he communicated with the founder, he finally chose to invest.

At first, Chen Rui did not have any expectations for Station B, nor did he expect any return on investment.

According to Xu Yi, the founder of Station B, in a later interview, because the website was not formal at the time, everyone was more like-minded. Chen Rui gave money at the time, and became a formal shareholder a long time later, but Chen Rui did not take it seriously.

But as B Station developed better and better, Chen Rui attached more and more importance to B Station. In the following rounds of investment, he invested almost all the money he could.

Moreover, after his own project was successfully listed and his career achieved a staged victory, he resolutely left Kingsoft and officially joined B Station to start a business again.

And it was rare for investors to actually participate in the company's operations and even become the core of the company. It was also at this time that B Station grew step by step under the leadership of Chen Rui.

At this stage, Chen Rui has already invested in the angel round, but he is still a senior executive in Kingsoft, but he has always been paying attention to B Station.

In fact, Wei Yang had already set his sights on B Station, but the reason why he did not invest was to wait for Chen Rui to join the game. After all, he could not manage and develop B Station himself. If he wanted to make money, he had to wait for Chen Rui, the "true love" of B Station.

If Chen Rui and B Station missed each other because of his intervention, it would be a joke.

So Wei Yang did not move his troops, and waited until Chen Rui invested in the angel round and established a good relationship with the veterans of B Station and was interested in the website, and then chose to enter the A round of investment.

The rate of return is definitely not as high as the angel round, but it is a huge profit anyway.

Wei Yang took over more than 20% of the shares with a big hand. Even if the shares are reduced to single digits after various dilutions, it is still a huge fortune when it goes public.

Not only Bilibili, but also some companies that Wei Yang remembers, especially those in the technology network type, Wei Yang also invests whenever he can, especially in the angel round, where the investment is small and the return is high, and if he gets one, he will make a lot of money.

No matter whether it can survive until the IPO, even if the shares are sold and left, as long as the project is successful, the profit will be at least dozens or even hundreds of times.

If Wei Yang does not want Blue Whale to be too closely involved in the financial capital market, his dream of being on the Forbes rich list, these investments are the real key...
