Chapter 148: Four Types of Industries Under My Name
"Anyway, the most important thing right now is to calm the public opinion. If this continues, the Dota Alliance's skin sales won't just fall short of the target this season, they might even set the worst sales record!"
An internal meeting of Tengxu's Dota Alliance operation team is in session, and Jian Ming is speaking.
As he speaks, those below are grumbling internally.
Wasn't this mess created by you in the first place?
If you hadn't tried to make a mark as a new leader by not posting photos of the winning team, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
Still, Jian Ming is well-connected and parachuted in as a leader, so no one dares to contradict him.
The people below can only ask what should be done now.
"Create two main pages in the game, one featuring ads for the virtual girl group and the other displaying photos of the Extreme Path Team's victory."
Jian Ming gave his orders.
He's only willing to back down to this extent now.
Once Tengxu takes over the domestic league operations for the Dota Alliance, Jian Ming is confident he will show Chen Yiyang what ruthless means.
Don't even think about winning another championship.
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
"Boss, the game main page has photos of our team's victory." Su Luo came to report to Chen Yiyang.
"Mm, got it." Chen Yiyang nodded.
Jian Ming's concession was within his expectations.
After all, Chen Yiyang successfully used the unfair treatment of the Extreme Path Team to unleash the player's long-held anger over Tengxu's overpriced skins.
Players have already organized a no-spending campaign and achieved some success.
The Dota Alliance has put up photos of the Extreme Path Team's victory, which is their smallest concession this time.
They've also issued discount coupons to all players, allowing them to buy the latest virtual girl group skins at a 30% discount.
Of course, even at 30% off, these virtual assets don't cost Tengxu at all — it's just a matter of how much they earn.
"Let's leave it at that." Not managing to remove Jian Ming from his position of Dota Alliance's national server operation lead was expected.
In the future, Chen Yiyang can foresee that the Extreme Path Team will be suppressed by Jian Ming.
But right now, he has no other solutions.
He can only take it one step at a time.
Lately, Chen Yiyang hasn't had the time to worry about Jian Ming's issues.
He's got another very important task to sort out — integrating and organizing his numerous assets.
After earning his first million, ten million, then hundred million in life.
Chen Yiyang's current net worth has long exceeded one billion.
For ordinary people, this size of wealth is enough for a lifetime of financial security.
However, while Chen Yiyang is not short on spending money, he lacks effective management over all his assets.
It's impossible to handle everything personally.
Therefore, after hiring several professional managerial talents, Chen Yiyang established a holding company called Yiyang Group to manage his assets.
Currently, his assets are divided into four major categories.
The first category is investment assets.
Including 10% shares of Luzon Dried Fruit and Vegetable Factory, 10% shares of Chuanyin Company, 50% shares of Li Qiqi Studio, and 30% shares of Snow Mountain's Daughter Studio.
With these investments, Chen Yiyang doesn't need to be involved in the management of these companies or studios, he just receives dividends.
Of course, if there are major decisions in any company or studio, Chen Yiyang will be notified.
Chen Yiyang hired several professional talents to help review the accounts and notifications from these companies.
The second category is directly controlled heavy asset entities.
Including Shabby House Pawnshop, Silk Art Gallery, Shengshi Hotel, and Dry Mud Food Factory.
Currently, the Shabby House Pawnshop is managed by Yang Yu, whom Chen Yiyang promoted to his holding company. Yang Yu continues to manage Shabby House.
The Silk Art Gallery is mainly about collecting rents, so there's no need to worry too much.
Shengshi Hotel is operating well under the management of Liu Yiyi. Chen Yiyang simply oversees the finances and profits without concerning himself with specific management.
Dry Mud Food Factory is currently managed by Liu Xiaoyue's former deputy, and Chen Yiyang gave some shares to the factory's management team.
The factory is currently running fine, but without Chen Yiyang's involvement in specifics, the future is unpredictable.
Hence, Chen Yiyang elevated Liu Xiaoyue to the holding company to oversee the factory's future operations.
Chen Yiyang's third category of assets is lightweight internet companies.
Though these companies have entities, they are lightweight companies.
Among them are the 'Old West' live commerce company and the Shabby Residence Game Publishing Company, Shabby Residence Entertainment Company he founded.
'Old West' live commerce company is his biggest cash cow now.
Every month, it generates tens of millions in dividends for Chen Yiyang.
This company is also the most challenging to manage, as Chen Yiyang needs to constantly assert his authority to deter two factions inside from breaking away.
So, Chen Yiyang plans to remotely manage this company himself.
Of course, Liu Xiaoyue handles day-to-day affairs, while he focuses on major directional issues.
The Shabby Residence Game Publishing Company currently has two ongoing businesses.
One is helping South Korean producer Huang Zaihao publish his indie game, Dave the Diver.
The other is assisting Luo Yuncheng in completing the public test of their slg mobile game.
The Shabby Residence Entertainment Company has only signed two artists so far: Song Xi and Yang Jinlu.
Chen Yiyang has hired professional agents and managers to oversee this company.
Yet, the most valuable asset of such lightweight companies is people.
If the signed artists are poached, the company essentially vanishes.
Thus, Chen Yiyang must occasionally pay attention to this company, particularly focusing on Song Xi's development and resources. Helping her become a star sooner is key.
That way, even if Song Xi wishes for independence later, he can still amass wealth before she separates.
Chen Yiyang's fourth category of assets serves as brokerage.
Whether linking Gena and Aiya or acting as a middleman between Luzon Food Group and the Goodbye Lover production team.
These are chaotic yet lucrative businesses.
The key to these businesses lies in signed contracts.
As such, Chen Yiyang plans to invest in Zhang Yida's law firm, letting Zhang Yida handle these matters in the future.
Therefore, he needs to invest in Zhang Yida's personal law office.
