☆, Chapter 9 Investment
Gu Ximing raised his wrist to check the time.
In the afternoon, he had to hand over the hotel and the house to Gu Lan, so he postponed all the social engagements in the morning so that he could spend the whole morning with Gu Ran to familiarize herself with the company.
"Okay." Gu Ran nodded excitedly, "Then I'll go with you after dinner."
As she spoke, she quickened the pace of drinking the porridge, picked up the bowl directly, and wanted to drink it in one gulp.
"Slow down..." Mother Gu looked at her lovingly and helplessly, "The company is there, and you can't run away. Don't choke."
"This is for you." Father Gu pushed a gold card in front of Gu Ran.
Gu Ran widened his eyes and quickly swallowed the porridge in his mouth. He was dazzled by the golden surface of the card and stretched out his trembling little hand.
"This is…"
"There is one million in the card. It's pocket money your mother and I gave you. The password is your birthday. Just withdraw it if you need anything." said Father Gu.
Gu Ran was so flattered that he covered his chest with his hands, almost fainting from joy.
It was the first time in her life that she had seen pocket money of such a large denomination!
One million, that’s one million!
However, before she could get over the shock, Gu Yan pushed another silver card in front of her.
Gu Yan spoke in a tone similar to that of an elder, Gu's father, "This is the pocket money I gave you. The password is your birthday."
Gu Ran's brain froze, and he subconsciously asked, "How much is this?"
"Same as dad." Gu Yan raised her eyebrows at her father while speaking.
If she didn't want to appear to be superior to her father, she actually wanted to give him two million.
Gu Ran is determined to invest in the entertainment industry and make money, but how can one million be enough?
An investment of tens of millions is just a drop in the bucket for a play. The more investment, the greater the return. She believes in Gu Ran's predictive ability very much and is eager to give Gu Ran tens of millions to invest.
Father Gu saw the disapproval of himself in Gu Yan's eyes, and cursed in his heart, "What does this little bastard know!"
Tens of millions of pocket money is too much. What name should I give it in? It will arouse Gu Ran's suspicion.
No matter how capable Gu Ran is, he is still a newcomer in the industry. If his foresight is inaccurate and he loses a lot of money in his first investment, Gu Ran will definitely be devastated.
It would be better to give her a small amount of money to try it out first, and then expand the investment when she really makes money.
Gu Ximing, the only one who had not prepared any pocket money, looked at his father Gu and then at Gu Yan, feeling that he was a head shorter. He took out his wallet and took out his card, slapped it in front of Gu Ran, and told him the six-digit password.
Gu Ran’s heart almost stopped beating, “Is this also pocket money for me?” She stretched out her voice in disbelief.
Gu Ximing nodded, speaking casually as if he was just giving out a few dozen dollars for pocket money. "I don't remember how much money is in it, but it's definitely not less than one million. You can spend it however you want."
“…” Gu Ran.
Is this a wealthy family? Their pocket money starts at one million!
She was short-sighted in the past, and she could never imagine the happiness of rich people!
With such a wealthy family, why would you worry about starting capital?
She must go through fire and water for the Gu family, sacrifice her life to preserve this wealth and glory!
…
The Gu family started out in real estate in the early years and quickly became the third richest family in City A, after the Bai and Qin families.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. After the Gu family became rich, Gu's father gradually diversified the business into other industries.
A few years ago, sensing the bright prospects for the development of the entertainment industry, Gu's father invested most of his money in it. He just caught up with the wave of the industry and achieved some success.
Haosheng Entertainment has fifteen contracted artists of all sizes, two of whom have already made their mark and are second-tier traffic stars close to the first-tier. As long as they have another work that becomes a hit, they will be able to become quasi-first-tier stars.
The entertainment industry has always been managed by Gu Ximing. He has high expectations for the two artists in the company. This year, he arranged a big annual production for each of them, and he got the investment by drinking so much that his stomach hurt.
Gu Ximing attaches great importance to these two projects. In addition, there are several other key investment projects of the company.
On the way to the company, he called his secretary and asked him to send all the information about these projects to his office.
The secretary agreed, but was a little confused in his heart.
These projects are the company's key projects. They were all handled by Gu Ximing and decided after many decisions. Two of the projects are even about to start. Gu Ximing should know everything about them. Why does he want to look at the initial basic filing materials at this time?
Of course, despite the doubts, the secretary's job is to handle these trivial matters, so when Gu Ximing brought Gu Ran into the office, there was already a thick stack of project registration books on the table.
"Miss Gu, would you like coffee or tea? Or hot milk?" The secretary greeted Gu Ran politely and asked.
She just joined the company two years ago, and everyone in the Gu family has seen her, except Gu Ran.
Due to health reasons, Gu Ran rarely went out after taking a leave of absence from school. Most people in the company had never seen her, except for a few veterans.
"Just milk, thank you, sister." Gu Ran responded politely.
The secretary smiled and left, and soon brought a cup of hot milk and a cup of American black coffee that Gu Ximing drank every day.
Gu Ximing sat down behind his desk, picked up his coffee and took a sip, then raised his hand and waved lightly at his secretary, indicating that he had nothing else to do.
The secretary wisely left and closed the door.
Gu Ximing put down the coffee cup and pushed the pile of documents on the table in front of Gu Ran, who was drinking hot milk with a cup in both hands.
"Xiao Ran, take a look at this after you finish drinking."
The milk was at just the right temperature and had sugar in it. The sweet and fragrant milky aroma was something Gu Ran really liked.
She took a big sip before putting down the cup and leaning over to look at what Gu Ximing pushed to her.
The top one is about Haosheng Entertainment's biggest investment this year, a costume drama starring a slew of big names...
"Causing chaos in the Eastern Palace..."
[Hey, why does this name sound so familiar?]
[Ah, now I remember, isn't this the big costume drama that cost Gu Ximing all his money?]
As soon as Gu Ran's thoughts came out, Gu Ximing's brows jumped opposite him, and he almost couldn't hold the cup firmly in his hand and almost spilled the coffee.
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, calmed himself down, put down the cup in his hand, stared at Gu Ran, and asked tentatively.
"This is the company's key investment project this year. We've hired two popular celebrities, both of whom are very popular and have good acting skills. The drama has only just been established, but it's already been trending on the search list several times before filming even started. What do you think, Xiaoran?"
Gu Ximing asked this, but his heart was bleeding.
I showed these to Gu Ran just to be on the safe side, but I didn’t expect there would be problems with the first project!
To be honest, considering his years of investment, he really can't think of anything wrong with this drama.
The popular and talked-about heroine Nan Xian is the most beautiful woman in the circle. She has both good acting skills and good looks, and she is perfect from all angles.
Even if the final effect of the script is not satisfactory, he can still sell the drama at a high price just relying on Nan Xian's popularity.
How come I lost everything?
