"Qingwan, do you think it's possible to borrow some more money from my father-in-law?"
"Didn't you just borrow three billion?"
"The company doesn't have enough funds right now, but don't worry, I'll definitely be able to pay it back by this time next year. Just go and put in a good word for me with your father-in-law."
A hint of disgust flashed in Shen Qingwan's eyes: "Your parents don't have much money left, but I can ask them to help you borrow from your father's friends."
"Really? That works too!"
“However…” Shen Qingwan changed the subject, pretending to be hesitant: “But friends aren’t family, so they won’t lend you money without your consent. They’ll definitely demand more collateral and higher interest than your parents would. If you default, the interest will just keep piling up. You’d better think it through.”
Jiang Minghui wasn't worried about that: "No problem. Just mortgage some of my property and shares first. I'm sure I can pay it back on time."
He had already made up his mind. With the New Year approaching, he would put "Legend of the Wolf" on the New Year's Day slot. He was sure the show would be a huge hit, and then he could pay back the money.
By this time next year, Xu's project will have broken even, and he will have enough funds to support him in proving his abilities.
Everything is moving in a positive direction! The future looks promising!
"President Jiang, the price over there has gone up to 1.1 billion... I think... maybe we should just forget about it... Besides, a lot of unlucky things happened during the filming of this drama..."
1.1 billion yuan! That's enough to produce at least three or four very good TV series.
Spending so much money to buy a show produced by another company is just too risky.
If they lose money, the Jiang family will probably repeat the plot of "The First Shot" and become a laughing stock in the industry once again.
Moreover, many unlucky things happened during the filming of this drama. First, half a month after the casting was scheduled and filming began, one of the actors collapsed, and the crew had to replace the actor and reshoot.
Then, during the filming of a scene, a staff member died in an accident.
Because of this incident, the production crew had to stop work for a few days. Just when everything was finally back to normal, a staff member ran away with the original footage due to personal grudges, which caused another delay of many days.
The film, which was originally scheduled to be shot in four months, was delayed to six months. All the venues and equipment had to be paid for more, and the final cost was 30 percent higher than expected.
People in the industry are very wary of this show, feeling that it is unlucky and that the price is too high, so no platform is willing to buy it.
For some reason, President Jiang suddenly wanted to buy this drama today, and what's even more unexpected is that there are other platforms competing for it!
Something feels off.
"Keep adding! I'm determined to get this drama!" Jiang Minghui waved his hand confidently.
"......good..."
Finally, the Jiang family successfully acquired the exclusive broadcasting rights for "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" for a staggering 1.2 billion yuan.
Jiang Minghui was very satisfied with this and looked down on the platforms that were competing with him.
You still dared to bid against him? Why didn't you continue bidding?
In the end, this drama still ended up in their own hands! I wonder which platform they were dealing with; they really overestimated themselves.
Just then, he received a call from Jiang Xinrou.
Only after Jiang Xinrou mentioned it did he realize that Jiang Qinghe had actually returned to China.
What is this girl doing back in China at this time? Why didn't she tell her family she was coming back? Could it be that she sensed something?
Thinking of this, Jiang Minghui's expression became serious.
“Dad, I’ve already had the news of Jiang Qinghe’s return to China posted online. You need to give it a push, and use the news of her return to make netizens forget about me.”
"Don't worry, Dad knows what to do. Just stay on set and film during this time and don't think about anything else. Dad assures you that our Jiang family will soon be firmly established as the number one company!"
Jiang Minghui's eyes lit up with laughter as he said this: "Then you'll be the Jiang family's little princess, and Dad will be able to fund whatever you want to film!"
"Okay! Thank you, Dad!"
"President Jiang, we've reached an agreement with Jiaqing Film and Television. The contract has been drafted and we can sign it tomorrow." At this moment, the secretary looked up from the documents.
For some reason, he felt a vague unease in his heart.
He had worked at Jiang's for several years, but this year, President Jiang seemed to be possessed, and he couldn't understand the decisions he made.
Especially after the money tree died last time, he had a feeling that the Jiang family's fate was sealed and he needed to prepare to find a new owner first!
"Okay, go and communicate with the publicity department. I will allocate another sum of money for the promotion of this drama."
"Yes..." The secretary couldn't help but gasp.
The broadcasting rights alone cost 1.2 billion, plus advertising expenses...
Tsk tsk tsk... If this drama flops, it will be even worse than "The First Shot". He can't even imagine that scene.
I don't know why President Jiang insisted on buying such an unlucky drama, but as a working person, I can't care about that now.

Late at night, Jiang Huaijing drove to a private club.
Pushing open the door to a private room, you see Mr. Qin, the general manager of Jiaqing Film and Television, sitting inside.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang is here. Please have a seat."
Jiang Huaijing smiled and sat down to the side: "President Qin, you're too kind."
"Hey, you really helped me out this time. I was planning to quit and go back to my hometown a long time ago, but 'Legend of the Wolf Warrior' hadn't sold for so long. Thanks to you, I not only sold it, but I sold it for a high price. Now I can finally go back to my hometown and retire in peace."
Jiang Huaijing smiled, this wasn't his achievement, it was all thanks to his sister.
He had never understood why she had so confidently told Jiang Minghui that "Thousand Silk Snow" would be a hit as soon as she returned to the Jiang family. It turned out that it was all preparation for today.
"To be honest, Mr. Jiang, I've had a lot of bad luck since the start of filming this drama, and the filming itself hasn't gone smoothly either. Now that I'm finally able to sell it, I have to thank you, Mr. Jiang, for raising the price so I could get a good deal! Here, let me toast you!"
Jiang Huaijing picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "It's just a small favor, and besides, it's beneficial for both of us."
"Mr. Jiang, there's no need to be modest. If it weren't for this drama of yours, I'm afraid I would have really lost money. Brother, I won't say any more polite words. As we agreed before, I'll give you 70% and you 30%, this is all you deserve." Mr. Qin took out a check from his pocket and wrote a string of zeros on it.
Jiang Huaijing carefully put away the check and shook hands with President Qin once again.
"Then let's have a pleasant cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Meanwhile, the online condemnation of Jiang Qinghe did not end, and as daytime approached, the matter gained even more attention.
Just then, Jiang Qinghe posted a new message on her social media platform, which she hadn't logged into for a long time.
