After getting the script, Li Zong was just like a treasure. He no longer asked who wrote the script. He turned around and went to discuss the script of the new work with Liu Ye.
Although it was strange how this guy convinced him, Hao Yun thought about it and finally didn't ask. He just told him to work on this project seriously and gave him a budget of 20 million.
After all, this game is considered childhood for Hao Yun, and it contains many irreplaceable memories.
Now that he has the conditions to make it better, he naturally doesn't want to be so simple and hasty.
I stayed in the company until off-duty time.
Hao Yun was thinking about where to go for dinner and then go back later, when he suddenly received a call from Lin Jun.
This guy recently went to Shenzhen City, saying he wanted to expand the bike-sharing business there, but it has been so many days, and Hao Yun hasn't seen him make any move.
Now that he suddenly received a call from this guy, to be honest, Hao Yun was still a little nervous.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Jun didn't tell him about the modern bicycles on the phone, but hurriedly asked him about the loan.
"Boss, why are you so anxious to repay the loan?"
"I feel bad for paying the interest." Hao Yun replied matter-of-factly.
"I feel even more sorry for you when you repay... The interest rate we got at that time was so low that it was like giving it away. The bank would be very happy if we repaid it in advance." Lin Jun said in a dumbfounded voice.
That’s what I say, but I don’t feel at ease because I owe money!
Hao Yun didn't know how to describe this feeling. Maybe it was because his temperament hadn't kept up with the balance of his bank card, and he couldn't do anything about not paying back the money he owed.
Anyway, the company now has sufficient cash flow and there are no big money-burning projects waiting. It would be better to pay off the loan first, which would make him feel more comfortable.
"You don't understand... I won't explain this to you," Hao Yun coughed and continued to ask on the phone, "I haven't asked you yet, how is the modern bicycle project going? I heard that you recently ran Have you gone to Shenzhen City?"
When his boss asked about his business results, Lin Jun smiled confidently and said immediately.
"It's perfect! Modern Bicycle's business in Shenzhen is going very smoothly. Now Hiashi Group is very interested in our business and plans to spend 500 million to finance us!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Yun suddenly became anxious.
"Five hundred million?! Financing so quickly? Isn't there a shortage of money for the modern bicycle project?"
Once the second round of financing starts, his mission will be complete. Although he can get the task reward, he can't get the benefits of the system. Can he not be anxious
"That's what you say, but we lack allies." He didn't quite understand why Mr. Hao suddenly became anxious. Thinking that he was dissatisfied with the price, Mr. Lin said cautiously, "Actually, the price is already pretty good. After financing, they With only 30% of the shares, we are equivalent to using 20 million to get a bargain of 500 million!"
The second round of financing increased directly by 25 times.
According to the 333 equity distribution plan he negotiated, this is equivalent to the 20 million Yunmeng Group originally received in exchange for equity, which is now worth 500 million!
However, after saying this, Hao Yun did not feel any happy feeling in his heart.
No matter how much I get a bargain, the money is not mine!
At least before Modern Bicycle goes on the market, this money will definitely not be withdrawn. At most, it will be used as equity pledge at a discount to the bank.
But perhaps because he never paid off his mortgage in his previous life, Hao Yunsheng was disgusted with the matter of loans. It was absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.
Besides, he had just paid off the bank loan.
Thinking that Hao Yun was dissatisfied with the lack of money given by the investors, Lin Jun still tried hard and patiently to explain to him the value behind this financing. However, until the end, he did not get the key point of the problem.
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun, who was holding the phone, leaned on the office chair with an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Is this what it feels like to become a shareholder by trading stocks
I originally planned to use 20 million to play a short-term game, but ended up getting stuck.
What a crime...
…
Just when Hao Yun was having a headache about the future of modern cycling, Director Liu who was far away in Shanghai was also having a headache because of recent events.
About three days ago, Liu's Pictures' martial arts masterpiece "The Grandmaster", which cost 200 million to shoot and starred famous actors Chen Xiaofeng and Yu Shuhua, was officially released, and it achieved a box office of 130 million on the day of its premiere!
There is only the last month left in the 2018 New Year. Judging from the current box office data of the premiere of "The Grandmaster", there is no problem in ranking first in the box office this year.
Liu Qizhe had no doubt about this and almost opened the champagne to celebrate.
However, unfortunately, "Jialan Yu", which was recently launched by his old rival Tianyuan Film and Television, suddenly became popular on the Internet for some reason, and it was without warning.
Whether it's a scarf or a pussy, you can see people discussing this movie everywhere, and the topic is even more popular than his "The Grandmaster"!
It would be fine if it was just a word-of-mouth explosion.
It just so happens that the film's scheduling rate is not low. With the positive impact of word-of-mouth on the box office, the box office of this movie with a premiere box office of only 20 million has been rising for three consecutive days, getting higher day by day. Today it is even more popular. It's approaching the 100 million mark.
On the other hand, "The Grandmaster", like most popcorn movies, peaked on the first day of release, and its box office growth has already declined.
Although he didn't think that this blockbuster movie, which had a box office of only 20 million at the premiere, could become a stumbling block on his way to the top, Director Liu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What if
The film's schedule is as good as its own in theaters. If the word-of-mouth effect continues, maybe by the middle of the month, the title of annual box office champion will really be lost to this "small production" with an investment of less than 100 million. Cut off!
"... I went to the cinema to watch "Jialan Yu". I thought the story was average?"
"The plot actually has a lot of highlights. The key is that the director is a bit of a literary talent. Many of the shots have charm, but at first glance it can easily make people confused."
"You don't understand, some viewers only want to see a strong character. Especially the love and hatred between family and country in this movie's conception has its own halo of a strong character. Coupled with Director Tian's shooting style, the whole movie can be seen in one fell swoop. The quality of the movie has been established.”
Hearing the discussion among the crew, Liu Qizhe showed an unhappy expression on his face.
It's not that he doesn't like others to praise others, but the problem is that this person is his old enemy.
Keenly noticing the expression on his face, the assistant standing aside quickly stopped talking and signaled with his eyes that everyone else should stop talking.
After noticing the look in Assistant Director Liu's eyes, the people who were discussing suddenly became quiet.
Liu Qizhe cleared his throat and was about to say something.
However, at this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, pointed to his mobile phone and said.
"I'm going out to take a call."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
After leaving the office, he pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear.
"Hello?"
An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello Director Liu, I'm Wang Jianhui, I'm taking the liberty to call you."
Wang Jianhui
This name sounds familiar...
Liu Qizhe thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that this name seemed to be on the Tianyuan Pictures board of directors list, so he immediately narrowed his eyes and said in a playful tone.
"Mr. Wang? Why did you call me?"
Wang Jianhui smiled and said.
"I heard that you were in trouble, so I called you."
Difficulties are okay.
Who do you think it’s because of
Liu Qizhe's expression turned cold and he snorted coldly.
"Mr. Wang is here to see our jokes? But I think you don't have to be happy so early. Even if the recent reputation of "Jialan Yu" is somewhat unexpected, compared with our "Grandmaster", I'm afraid it's still not that good. Not interesting."
Wang Jianhui was not angry at Liu Qizhe's barbed words, but just smiled and continued.
"Director Liu doesn't need to be so sensitive. Although Tianyuan Pictures and Liu's Pictures are in a competitive relationship, Director Liu and I are not."
Liu Qizhe frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
"I heard that being number one at the box office this year is very important to Director Liu, but now it seems that "Garland Rain" has become the biggest obstacle on the way to the top of "The Grandmaster"? Don't deny it in a hurry. If we continue to develop according to the current trend, It will only be a matter of time before the box office overtakes us by mid-month at most.”
After a pause, Wang Jianhui continued.
"It just so happens that we have the same interests in this matter."
Aligned stakes
Liu Qizhe suspected that he heard wrongly.
If Jialanyu is a big hit at the box office, wouldn't the direct beneficiaries be the shareholders of Tianyuan Pictures? Who would think that the box office of a movie produced by his own company is too high
He really couldn't figure out how the stakes were connected
With a belly full of questions, Liu Qizhe said in a deep voice.
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Wang Jianhui explained patiently.
"In short, there is a gambling agreement between us and Director Tian. This gambling agreement is related to our control of Tianyuan Pictures. Not only that, our initial judgment on "Jialan Yu" was this movie It’s a high probability that we’ll be caught off guard, so we placed a short order on Tianyuan Pictures’ share price in the securities market… You can understand that we shorted our own stock.”
Damn it
Shocked by these words, Liu Qizhe couldn't help but ask.
"Are you crazy?"
"How could it be? This is just a routine operation to balance risks, but unfortunately... things have developed beyond our expectations," Wang Jianhui shrugged helplessly. "These measures were originally intended to hedge against the losses caused by the box office failure. , but if "Jialan Yu" is a big hit at the box office, it will directly damage our interests."
As he spoke, he paused and continued in an understatement.
"I have a way to get the film source of "Jialan Yu". Are you interested in cooperating?"
