Chapter 272 Concern, Special Mission
As the Lunar New Year approached, Chen Jingyuan began to finish processing Tencent Video's year-end summary.
He also needs to make a trip to Shenzhen, as he needs to oversee the pre-Lunar New Year social obligations and the group's review of Tencent Pictures.
I'll probably be staying in Shenzhen for about ten days!
However, there is good news: the private jet procedures were completed before heading to Shenzhen.
In other words, Chen Jingyuan was finally able to enjoy a private jet this time.
The Gulfstream G500 can easily carry Chen Jingyuan's entire team.
The number of assistants, bodyguards, and other staff will not exceed ten.
Qiao Yujie's eyes were filled with curiosity. He hadn't come with his boss to watch because he stayed in Yanjing for negotiations.
There will be no more opportunities!
Now we can finally see the boss's private jet, a toy worth hundreds of millions.
Even those with billions in assets probably wouldn't be willing to buy a private jet like this.
This private jet belonging to the boss is no ordinary private jet!
"Xiao Qiao, how are things between you and Zhang Yaqin?!"
Just as Qiao Yujie was lost in thought, Chen Jingyuan suddenly spoke up.
Although he wasn't interested in gossip, he still cared about his subordinates.
Moreover, one is an assistant, and the other is a roommate of a younger sister.
If a relationship ends in bitter enmity, it's undoubtedly a headache.
Even Qiao Yujie couldn't help but tense up when faced with his boss's question.
"Boss, we've only been dating for a short time."
Qiao Yujie finally answered, but her words still showed hesitation.
"I'm not against you dating."
"I just hope you treat me well and don't do something like starting something and then abandoning it."
Chen Jingyuan spoke softly, confident that Qiao Yujie would understand what he meant.
In fact, Qiao Yujie did know what the boss meant.
"Boss, we truly love each other."
"The kind of relationship that's aimed at marriage."
Qiao Yujie spoke with a firm gaze, revealing that he did indeed have a strong liking for Zhang Yaqin.
"I'll give you a big red envelope when you get married."
Chen Jingyuan nodded and said, "It would be best if we could get married successfully."
These words made Qiao Yujie very happy; his boss was not a stingy person.
If it's a big red envelope, then the amount must be substantial.
Although Qiao Yujie's own income is quite good, she certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to gain unexpected wealth.
He's determined to get this big red envelope!
Chen Jingyuan and Qiao Yujie didn't talk much, but went to the back warehouse to take a nap.
This is the master bedroom, which has a large bed and a private bathroom.
The sound insulation and other aspects are quite good, which is something Chen Jingyuan is quite satisfied with.
Buying a private jet is all about convenience and enjoyment, isn't it?
It takes about two hours to get from Shanghai to Shenzhen, which is perfectly fine.
I woke up just as I arrived in Shenzhen, and my mental state was noticeably different from that of a normal flight.
It's really great to have fewer procedures and less time spent waiting.
In the past, he would go to the hotel first and then go to the Penguin Building the next day.
Let's head there this afternoon!
Now Chen Jingyuan can simply use facial recognition to enter the Tencent Building.
To be honest, there aren't many people in the entire Tencent Group who don't know Chen Jingyuan.
Chen Jingyuan went directly to the president's office at headquarters to report the matter. He also had a lot of exchanges with Liu Zhiping, the president of Tencent.
Liu Zhiping thought it was just a simple report, but his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Jingyuan.
"Xiao Chen, come to my place tomorrow."
"Mr. Liu, no problem!"
Chen Jingyuan quickly came to his senses and nodded. Although he was a little curious, he knew he would understand tomorrow.
Besides, since Mr. Liu didn't elaborate, there was no need to ask further.
Chen Jingyuan went directly to Tencent Video and found Sun Zhonghuai.
After meeting, the two chatted for a while and then decided to meet up somewhere after get off work.
"Old Sun, is there any news from the group?"
Chen Jingyuan told Liu about the matter, hoping to find out some information.
Penguin Video is very close to the group's headquarters, so Lao Sun might be able to find out.
"Nothing should be happening lately!"
"Maybe it's to send you to visit and offer your condolences to the many companies in Shanghai."
Sun Zhonghuai thought for a moment and then spoke up!
After all, he hadn't heard of any changes in senior management, plus Chen Jingyuan was going to create a new department.
Now that Brother Ma is aware of this matter, he will definitely give President Liu some instructions.
Chen Jingyuan thought about it and agreed; he figured it wasn't anything important, so he didn't dwell on it.
The next day, when Chen Jingyuan arrived at Liu Zhiping's office!
"Xiao Chen, there's a mission here."
"Among the group's current senior executives, you are probably the most suitable."
"The main purpose was to visit South Korea to inspect some of the group's businesses, including a significant portion of the entertainment industry."
"It just so happens that your investment acumen is widely recognized. If there is a cooperation opportunity, you can make the decision yourself."
"This can be done after the New Year!"
Liu Zhiping got straight to the point and started talking about the mission!
Many of the group's vice presidents are busy, and suitable replacements cannot be found immediately.
Since Chen Jingyuan was relatively free, we asked him to make the trip.
Chen Jingyuan happens to excel in both the entertainment industry and investment.
"Okay, leave this to me."
Chen Jingyuan had no reason to refuse and agreed after a brief thought.
This matter is actually not too difficult!
It only takes two hours to get from Shanghai to Seoul, so to be honest, the journey isn't that far.
Secondly, this trip was just to inspect the penguin industry; there's no need to rush into any specific cooperation.
It's not a big deal; it'll only take a few days at most.
However, Chen Jingyuan still asked Liu Zhiping for a copy of Penguin's investment information in South Korea.
The largest investment area is undoubtedly gaming.
Tencent has been investing in NCsoft, the developer of Blade & Soul, since as early as 11.
They later invested in SMliegate, the developer of CrossFire (CF).
Then there's Bluehole, the company that developed PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Besides investing in games, there's also the entertainment industry!
Two years ago, they invested in YG Entertainment, and around this time last year, they invested in JYP Entertainment.
This year, we plan to invest in CUBE and FNC, and SM Entertainment is also on our radar.
Chen Jingyuan recalls that around 23, Tencent did indeed invest in SM Entertainment.
In addition, the most important investment was Kakao.
Dubbed the South Korean version of Weixin, it has achieved a market share of 99%.
Furthermore, the business has completed its closed loop, and the overall market value has reached over $200 billion.
Tencent is the second largest shareholder of Kakao and is continuing to follow up.
While its influence in South Korea may not be comparable to that of established conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai, there are still few that can rival it.
If you had to define them in one word, they would be South Korea's emerging oligarchs.
Even Chen Jingyuan had to admit that Tencent's investment was truly substantial.
The investment over the years alone has exceeded 20 billion yuan, but it has also yielded substantial returns.
Currently, the total value of all of Tencent's investments in various shares easily exceeds 100 billion.
That's equivalent to over $150 billion!
This is no small sum; it's definitely the standard for a chaebol (conglomerate).
They wield significant influence, especially within the South Korean entertainment industry.
Chen Jingyuan didn't make any special plans; he just wanted to go and take a look first.
Anyway, at worst, it can be considered as reviewing financial data statements, and a publicly funded trip is also a good thing.
There's absolutely no need to rush!
