Chapter 233 Independent Fund Makes You Independent
The concert in Niuyo this time was Jiang Changsheng's first visit to the United States since his rebirth, and he just took this opportunity to learn about the management of the fund.

So after getting off the plane, Jiang Changsheng bid farewell to Tian Xingguo and the others, and took his bodyguards into Zheng Guoen's car.

After getting in the car, Zheng Guoen asked: "Mr. Jiang, would you like to go to the hotel to rest first, and then go to the company tomorrow?"

Jiang Changsheng shook his head: "No, just go to the company directly, I will only stay in Niuyue for five days."

Seeing that Zheng Guoen and Zhou Wenqiong looked a little nervous, Jiang Changsheng said: "We are all on our own, Brother Guoen, you are sister Ling's cousin, and sister Qiong, you are Sissi's cousin, don't be too estranged.

I went to the company this time just to have a look, not to check the accounts. "

Zheng Shuangling took care of the accounts very well, Jiang Changsheng didn't ask too much, he only asked about big investments.

Zhou Wenqiong smiled and said: "After all, you are our big boss, and you should be respected."

Zheng Guoen was still serious when he heard the words, but nodded seriously.

Jiang Changsheng didn't take it seriously either. He heard from Zheng Shuangling that Zheng Guoen studied mathematics and finance, and he was strict and rigorous.

So Jiang Changsheng ignored him and chatted with Zhou Wenqiong all the way.

What the two of them have in common is Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei, and the topics of conversation are all about them, especially Liu Xiaoli.

Zhou Wenqiong was full of envy for Liu Xiaoli while talking.

After talking for a while, Zhou Wenqiong felt that Liu Xiaoli hadn't lied to him, that Jiang Changsheng was indeed a good talker, and his relationship was a lot closer.

At the end of the chat, she sighed: "Life is really ups and downs. My family used to think that I was very happy and had a better life than Miss Xiaoli.

At that time, Miss Xiaoli got divorced and took Sissy with her in the United States. Everyone was very worried.

Well now, after meeting Ni, their mother and daughter have become big stars.

It was me, divorced, and now a loner. "

When it came to Zhou Wenqiong's privacy, Jiang Changsheng had no desire to explore, but only politely comforted him: "Sister Qiong, you are also a natural beauty, if you feel lonely, you can find another partner at any time."

Zhou Wenqiong covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "I don't want to look for it anymore, I see it, women still have to rely on themselves, the most important thing is to have money and a career."

Jiang Changsheng made a joke: "That's definitely true. It's better to be a rich woman. As long as you have enough money, handsome guys can fill a car."

Zhou Wenqiong gave Jiang Changsheng a good-looking look: "I'm not a casual person, even if I have money, I won't take care of a handsome guy."

Although Zhou Wenqiong has been an actor and has lived in the United States for several years, she still has the traditional side of Chinese women in her bones.

Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Then you are not as good as Qianqian in this respect, she is a little rich woman, she shouts all day long to take care of me."

Zhou Wenqiong laughed up and down. She glanced at Jiang Changsheng and said, "If it's you, I can do it too."

"Then you go to line up first, there are too many women who want to take care of me."

The two laughed, and even Zheng Guoen, who was always serious, bent his mouth.

Talking and laughing, the three came to an office building in Hua'er Street.

The office of the fund company is on the 15th floor, covering an area of ​​about 300 square meters. The number of employees is currently 27, and the employees are mainly American.

When Jiang Changsheng walked into the company, he saw a huge logo wall with an English word "independence" on it.
Jiang Changsheng's special fund is called Independent Fund, and the name was chosen by Jiang Changsheng specially.

Zheng Shuangling asked Jiang Changsheng why he named it Independence. Jiang Changsheng's original words were: "I hope that the people of the United States can be more independent, especially many states with ideas, can be brave and achieve true independence."

Zheng Shuangling laughed happily after hearing this, so the name of the fund was decided in this way.

After Jiang Changsheng joined the company, Zheng Guoen directly called the staff to hold a meeting to report to Jiang Changsheng the current operation of the independent fund.

The current capital scale of the independent fund has reached 6 million yuan, mainly from Jiang Changsheng's income from records and novels in the past few years, as well as investments made with these incomes.

Under Jiang Changsheng's guidance, the investment income of the independent fund is very high, and the investment with the highest income is the stock of NetEase.

After the resumption of trading in NetEase's stock a few years ago, the stock price rose from less than 1 million yuan to more than 60 yuan.

The increase is much lower than in the previous life.

The main reason is that Tianya Network is now the overlord of the domestic Internet, suppressing the development of NetEase in the field of games, so the stock price performance of NetEase is not as good as in the previous life.

Even so, an investment has increased dozens of times, and the income is amazing.

It's just that the current market value of Netease is not very large, and the investment amount is limited, so the absolute income earned is not particularly large.

The current size of the independent fund is about 25 billion yuan.

In addition to capital, there are also some leverage, and some private funds have been privately raised.

In the United States in 2005, the scale of this fund was not small.

Zheng Guoen turned a page of the PPT and introduced: "The company currently has two main businesses. The first is the fund's foreign investment, which involves..."

Independent funds have already participated in the angel round investment of companies such as Facebook and YouTube, and the development situation is very good.

Jiang Changsheng did not intervene, and quietly listened to Zheng Guoen's introduction, "The second business is the operation and purchase of copyright..."

Because Jiang Changsheng's songs and novels are related to copyright, this is also handled by the independent fund.

Therefore, the company recruited a copyright management team of 5 people. In addition to being responsible for the copyright under Jiang Changsheng's name, they also invested and operated external copyrights and purchased a lot of copyrights and IP.

At present, the company has purchased more than [-] copyrights of various types. To Jiang Changsheng's surprise, Marvel's Iron Man and Wolverine are among them.

The current Hollywood superhero movies have not completely risen. Only Sony's Spider-Man has achieved good results. The rest of the movies, such as the Hulk, have average box office.

Therefore, the current price of Marvel's copyright is not high, and many companies don't pay much attention to it. Marvel itself left the copyright outside, making a mess.

Although Jiang Changsheng was surprised, he didn't say anything. After listening to the report of the meeting, he only made two conclusions.

First, gradually reduce investment in real estate assets. In two years, the subprime mortgage crisis will come, and American houses and related stocks and bonds will collapse.

Second, increase the operation of copyright and IP, and establish a film and television investment department.

Although Jiang Changsheng, an independent fund, does not have specific management, but the general strategic direction is formulated by him, and Zheng Guoen and others are used to it.

Hearing what Jiang Changsheng said, no one refuted it.

The next ten years will be the golden age for Hollywood industrial films to sweep the world. At this time, investing in film and television works is definitely profitable, and Jiang Changsheng still has a golden finger.

After the meeting, Jiang Changsheng and Zheng Guoen chatted alone for a long time, mainly about film investment. Jiang Changsheng plans to invest in a large theater chain in the United States in the future, and invest in Netflix.

Jiang Changsheng is not interested in starring in Hollywood movies for the time being, but it is still possible to be a big money behind the scenes in Hollywood.

After talking about the fund company, Jiang Changsheng put all his energy into the concert.

Two days later, Jiang Changsheng was able to enter the rehearsal at Madison Square Garden. This was already the result of Warner's best arrangements, and Jiang Changsheng's reputation and coffee.

Madison Square Garden holds a variety of events and performances every year, and it is the home of the Knicks, so the schedule of the venue is always full.

On the day of the rehearsal, Jiang Changsheng saw an acquaintance.

Dong Qing, the host of Yangshi, this year is her first time hosting the Spring Festival Gala, and she became famous in the first battle.

In the next few years, her development became better and better, and she gradually became one of the pillars of Yangshi hostess.

Jiang Changsheng also met her because of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

"Teacher Dong Qing, Yangshi is so generous that he sent you here?"

Dong Qing smiled gently, this woman is in her thirties, the age she is most familiar with, although she is not very good-looking, she has a ladylike temperament on her body.

She said: "Tai Li attaches great importance to the reports and records of your overseas concerts. Many people want to come. I also have the honor of Teacher Jiang to go abroad for business."

The officials wanted to promote Jiang Changsheng as a benchmark, but it was not just for fun.

YangTV sent people to follow Jiang Changsheng's concert. On the one hand, it was to report related news, and on the other hand, it will be made into a documentary for secondary publicity.

It's just that when I was in China before, the team of journalists who followed the film were not well-known. Now when I arrived in the United States, Dong Qing came to highlight a truth.

There is no way, in this era, everyone really yearns for the country of America, and the name of the lighthouse country is not a joke.

The reason why Jiang Changsheng's concert has such a high popularity in China is not only his own popularity, but also the key to attracting a large number of foreigners to listen to the concert.

Yangshi's reports and documentaries also focused on interviewing many foreign fans.

Regarding Jiang Changsheng's concert at Madison Square Garden this time, the domestic media followed up and reported on it. Compared with Luo Wen and Zhang Xueyou's previous concerts, it is simply a world of difference.

The fundamental reason is that Jiang Changsheng held a concert in the United States, and most of the people who came to listen to the songs were American people, while for Luo Wen and Zhang Xueyou's concert, the people who listened to the songs were basically Chinese.

Jiang Changsheng chatted with Dong Qing for a few words, and then went to the rehearsal.

In Niu Yue's concert, the band, harmony and concert guests were all arranged by Warner, so Jiang Changsheng had to hurry up and get familiar with it.

Jiang Changsheng's guests at the New York concert were Linkin Park Band, Craig David and black female rapper Brandy Norwood, all of whom are singers under Warner Music.

Few of Omi's singers are not xd, their personal style is extremely chaotic, and Jiang Changsheng has no intention of interacting with them, so he greets them politely, which is regarded as acquaintance.
