Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal Chapter 601

Chapter 601: No One to Go up Against!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Running Dog got to this part, everyone was stunned.

Life, Death, Dali!

What a forceful phrase, what arrogance! The problem was that no one questioned its credibility.

With the current influence of the three Internet giants Sangle, Turkey, and Jianbao Plaza, once they merged, together with Hong Dali's super ideas, the internet would not have much to do with anyone else.

“CEO Hong, Mr. Running Dog!” someone shouted suddenly. “I'm the CEO of So Cool video-sharing website, Wu Youdao. I wish to join Dali's Internet Empire. May I know if there is any chance of that happening?”

Once the words left his mouth, everyone turned to look.

It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man without any extraordinary features. His words, however, were charismatic.

Just by watching the video, it would be obvious that what Running Dog said was definitely right.

Life, Death, Dali!

This was the future of the Internet. It was something none of the online companies could escape from.

So Cool video-sharing website was not small, but it could not be compared with the other three. It would not be an exaggeration to say that if they took too long to pick a side, when Hong Dali came up with an innovative to share videos, the future of So Cool video-sharing website would be uncertain.

“Ah, thank you for your support, Sir.” Running Dog bowed like a gentleman. “I think the Young Master would be pleased with your joining.”

Wu Youdao, his name meant “knowing”, and he indeed knew what he should do. As soon as he heard Running Dog's answer, Wu Youdao smiled widely. “In that case, Young Master Dali, thank you, haha!”

Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie looked at each other. Wu Youdao definitely had foresight.

With Sangle, Turkey, and Jianbao Plaza, as well as Weixin in the future, joining hands, not joining them would be tantamount to—death!

Wu Youdao had taken the lead. Thereafter, all the other Internet-related companies got ready to apply to join them too.

They were really scared.

Hong Dali was simply too terrifying. It was not something you could hide from. They were all well-informed. The Toyoda Company somehow got implicated in the He'an Village case, and that resulted in them losing more than 30 million yesterday!

“Thank you all for your support.” Running Dog nodded. “As for everyone who wishes to join us, I think Young Master would be happy to accept. He will have more opportunities to squander!”

Hong Weiguo shrugged his shoulders in resignation. Running Dog was definitely one of Dali's creations. Every other sentence would include something about squandering fortunes.

“Everyone, silence, silence please!” Wen Jianan made a gesture to suppress the noise. When everyone had quietened down, he smiled at Running Dog and said, “Running Dog, you should continue. If we listen to everyone's comments, it would take days to finish this.”

“Okay, Sir.” Running Dog immediately continued. “Empire strength, market value.”

Market value was something that was on everyone's minds. They wondered. “Hong Dali's group of companies is indeed very powerful, but I wonder how much market value it has?”

Running Dog said, “Currently, Dali's Internet Empire consists of the three major Internet giants. In the future, it will include the soon-to-be-launched Weixin. I believe that will attract more internet companies to join. Once Dali's Empire is listed, it will definitely shock the world and become the first Internet company in the world with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. Dali's Internet Empire will be on equal standing with one Heavenly State Bank, two and a half Heavenly State Merchants Banks or four-point-four Maotais! On an international scale, it will be equivalent to one of the world's largest chat software, Facebook, or one-point-four times of one of the largest international shopping websites, eGo!”

He was not exaggerating. Each of the three Heavenly State Internet giants had total a.s.sets of 30 billion. If they were to include the other small companies who had joined the coalition, the total a.s.sets of Dali's Pan-Entertainment Civil Technology Group Corporation exceeded 100 billion US dollars! If the stock further appreciated, it would exceed 150 billion!

Wen Jianan: “…”

My goodness, that was impressive!

They knew the slice of cake that was the Heavenly State's Internet industry was big, but they did not expect it to be that big! In the future, it was likely to be worth a total of 150 billion yuan, which would be enough for them to become one of the top ten in the world!

The people exclaimed, “G.o.d, could it be? This, they are really terrifying when united as one!” Someone even shouted, “Running Dog, I would like to join too. Is there any other industry besides the Internet?””Yes, yes! We want to join too!”

“I think Young Master will welcome all of you, gentlemen and ladies.” Running Dog looked around the room before his electronic voice sounded again. “So, may I continue?”

“Please continue, please continue!” Wen Jianan knew that Hong Weiguo would be taking over the seat of one of the five magnates. He naturally hoped that Hong Weiguo would make a comeback in style. Subconsciously, he sat up straight. “Everyone, listen. Please continue!”

“Okay, Sir.” Running Dog continued saying, “Empire voice, media carrier.

“The media, like the law and the military, is an important tool in ruling a state. Dali's Empire has complete media coverage and full control of the Internet. Turkey Net + Turkey Software Popup + the future ** Public Platform + ** News plugin + News client + Local websites + Sangle Search Engine combined together make up Dali Internet's media platform.

“At present, there are already local portals from 14 key provinces and cities around the country, all of which are among the most influential news portals in the country, who have expressed willingness to cooperate with Young Master. They cover almost all the economically and culturally advanced regions of the country. In terms of media coverage, Dali's Empire has far surpa.s.sed the total coverage of mainstream media such as TGTV, People's Daily Online, People's Daily, Xinhuanet, Sowo, Xinhai, and Yiw.a.n.g.”

“This is still okay.” Wen Jianan finally drew a breath. This was at least normal—Turkey Software already had a foothold in the news media industry, and this news was not out of the ordinary.

People had learned their lesson. Many of them whispered, “This is still acceptable. Their individual influence before the merger is about the same as our expectations. It's still not out of this world.””That's true. This is still perfectly normal. It's not possible that everything he does has extraordinary results.”

The problem was, Running Dog would definitely allow everyone to be satisfied. He continued, “Of course, that is just the news portion of it. Dali's Empire is called an empire, so it's impossible for that to be its entirety. The show ‘Unexpectedly' that Young Master starred in has exceeded 500 million hits on the Internet. Miss Nianwei's concert has been viewed 120 million times and downloaded 14 million times. ‘I Am a Singer' has been played 2.4 billion times and downloaded 180 million times. The songs written by Young Master, such as ‘Never Left' and ‘Rolling up the Beaded Curtain' have been downloaded 60 million times. The TV ratings of the two TV shows ‘iPartment' and ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?' were 9.2% at their highest. ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World' is a miracle in the history of the Heavenly State's movie industry!”

Running Dog let out a burst of demonic laughter at this point. “It's not an exaggeration to say that Young Master already has the Heavenly State's entertainment circle by its throat. Anything that Young Master says has the potential to cause an uproar in the entertainment circle. In 12 days, the movie ‘Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess' will be released. No one can predict what kind of influence this movie will have. However, I believe that the results will definitely not lose to that of ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World'.”

By this point, everyone was completely shocked.

Everyone knew Hong Dali had a strong foothold in the entertainment circle. They did not, however, expect that he was so powerful!

Every program that Hong Dali was involved in had numbers in the billions! Billions! What kind of ability did that require?!

The people in this world loved sports. The film and entertainment industry did not get much public focus. However, in this largely ignored film and entertainment industry, Hong Dali actually managed to achieve such a level of success!

Sure enough, Running Dog continued to smile and throw bombs out: “If you count the downloads of these works, advertising endors.e.m.e.nts, copyright revenues, peripheral products, etc., the annual net profit is—2.2 billion.”

The annual net profit was 2.2 billion! G.o.d, this ratio…

Everyone in the room knew that Hong Dali did not invest much when he dabbled in the entertainment industry. Generally, a few million to tens of millions was the limit. He did not even bother doing anything in the film and entertainment industry recently. It was not that it was not profitable, rather, there was no one to go up against!

His total investment was less than two million!

“Gasp—!!!” Everyone drew in a sharp breath of disbelief.

His money was coming in faster than if he had directly robbed a bank, my G.o.d! It took others a lot of hard work to earn three to five hundred million a year, which was already considered a significant amount. When it came to Young master Dali, the amount was not even enough for him to floss his teeth with!

The thing about Hong Dali that made everyone depressed was that he never had any idea about how much he was earning. He did not even bother turning up for a prestigious gathering such as the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting.

Just then, someone asked aloud, “CEO Hong, when your Dali first started dabbling in all these, how much money did you give him? It should be quite a substantial sum?”

This was something everyone was curious to know.

Hong Weiguo had always doted on Hong Dali and, in fact, he practically spoiled him. Hong Weiguo must have given him a significant amount of support in the beginning for Hong Dali to be so immensely successful today. Everyone was curious as to how much money Hong Dali took at the beginning.

“This…” Hong Weiguo scratched his head. “To be honest, I don't remember…”

“It should be at least a hundred million?” Wen Jianan, who was sitting on the rostrum, asked curiously. “Such a large company should not have been possible without a starting capital of more than one hundred million yuan and a slow acc.u.mulation of funds.”

“Ah, probably, maybe, perhaps…” After hearing what Wen Jianan said, Hong Weiguo was a little embarra.s.sed. “I remember it was not that much. I think it was just tens of millions at the beginning…”
