Chapter 188 Others are afraid, but I am greedy .
In the small pavilion in the backyard of Arclight Films, Liu Jun took a sip of tea, then closed his eyes comfortably, feeling the breeze blowing.
"Don't mention it, your place is really nice except that it's a little small."
Meng Bai was pouring tea, and smiled when he heard it: "I remember there is a rest floor in the Leshi Building, isn't it also quite comfortable?"
"Hey, how can the artificial and natural ones feel the same?" Liu Jun said.
Looking at the shrubs and lawns that had just been trimmed by the property workers, Meng Bai nodded: "That makes sense."
After that, he changed the subject: "Brother Jun, how did you suddenly have time to come here today? I thought you should be the busiest these two days." "
I had a meeting on a business trip, and on the way back, I thought about the cooperation for so long, and I haven't come to see you yet, so I came to visit." Liu Jun said: "Besides, we don't have much to do. The boss is not here, who can we be busy for?"
"Boss Jia is going abroad for inspection again?" Meng Bai wanted to laugh when he mentioned this matter.
Liu Jun shook his head: "He didn't go abroad. He said he was in Hong Kong to discuss the financing of FF smart cars."
Since he was questioned about "wanting to run away" last year, Boss Jia has been traveling around the mainland for more than a year.
"So..." Meng Bai leaned closer and asked: "Did Leshi.com really commit financial fraud?"
"Good question." Liu Jun smiled bitterly, "We want to know too."
Boss Jia was an accountant in his past, and most of the accounts of Leshi.com were checked by him and his relatives.
To the outside world, it's a black box. No one knows what's inside unless the "box" is opened.
"Then who is managing it now?"
"Each department is doing its own thing. Anyway, the business of each department is defined, and we just need to follow the process."
After Liu Jun finished speaking, he remembered something else: "By the way, Gan Wei is back and is currently taking over the copyright operation center. It is said that he has taken a fancy to a novel and plans to be the producer himself to adapt it."
"What novel?"
"It seems to be called 'Crown Princess' or something. It should be an ancient puppet show from the name." Liu Jun said.
"Ancient puppet dramas have been quite popular in the past two years." Meng Bai said.
"That requires the blessing of traffic actors." Liu Jun laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid we don't have that much money to hire traffic now."
Meng Bai's opinion is different. Traffic actors are indeed the "special medicine" for many projects of average quality, but it doesn't mean that they can't do without traffic.
The current taste of online drama audiences is still seeking novelty and weirdness, and the more explosive points the better.
If there are really some more attractive highlights, coupled with marketing and publicity, the effect is no worse than those traffic.
Liu Jun pondered for a while, and it really made sense. Isn't that how "Soul Ferry" became a hit.
But what can be explosive about the ancient puppet theme?
"I just heard the news, wait for me to go back and find out."
Gan Wei's new start-up has little impact on Arc Light Film and Television. After all, Meng Bai is no longer the new screenwriter who needed to rely on personal relationships to get opportunities.
But for Liu Jun, the impact is still quite large.
At least facing his own "boss lady", he really doesn't dare to grab all the benefits to himself like he does to others.
Having said that, Leshi.com is still in the mood to launch a new drama at this time, which seems to show that its financial situation is normal.
Despite the doubts from the outside world, Leshi.com only refuted Liu Shuwei's previous article in a general way.
However, although there is nothing on the surface, there are undercurrents behind the scenes.
Just one week after Liu Shuwei's "anti-counterfeiting" article was published, Boss Jia, in his personal capacity, reduced his holdings of Leshi.com shares by 2 points, directly cashing out 2.5 billion.
The external statement is that this money will be "lent" to Leshi.com for operation and development in the form of an interest-free loan.
The boss of a listed company spends his own money to develop the company, which sounds like the conscience of the "capital market".
However, anyone with an IQ of over 50 and who has not bought Leshi.com stocks knows that this is complete nonsense.
Sure enough, after the news of Boss Jia's reduction of holdings came out, Liu Shuwei published another article.
It pointed out that from last year to now, Boss Jia has cashed out more than 5 billion through his sister and uncle who also work at Leshi.com.
Adding this transaction just now, it is equivalent to cashing out 8 billion.
But what is surprising is that while there are constant doubts here, in the secondary market, Leshi.com's stock price has risen rapidly as if it has eaten gold kela.
Liu Shuwei published the first article at the end of May, and by the beginning of June, Leshi.com's stock price had risen to more than 170, and its total market value exceeded 160 billion.
This size has made it the fourth largest Internet company after BAT.
Like Leshi.com, the entire Shanghai Stock Exchange Index of the A-share market has also reached an outrageous 5,000 points.
The entire market is almost full of myths of "getting rich overnight" and a lively and impetuous atmosphere.
Even during the post-production break of "Forensic Qin Ming", Wang Wei could be heard talking to Wu Bai about stock investment.
"How much did you two invest?" Meng Bai asked.
"I have less, about 200,000." Wang Wei smiled and said, "Director Wu has more. Didn't he cash out the money from Leshi Films? Now he probably has invested more than 2 million."
"You made a lot, right?"
Speaking of this, Wang Wei said happily, "Luckily, we entered the market a little late, and we didn't encounter those 'magic stocks' that kept going up, so it's only a dozen points."
A dozen points, in the current market, is not much, but the problem is that they have only been in the market for half a month.
"Quit while you're ahead." Meng Bai advised casually.
"Why, do you think it's going to collapse?"
Meng Bai said, "I don't know. I just think that if there is a trend that even laymen can make money without doing anything, then it will fall to the ground next."
Wang Wei thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Then I will talk to Director Wu, and if it doesn't work, we will withdraw some of it."
"You can see for yourself." Meng Bai is generally reluctant to get involved in matters involving personal interests. "Anyway, don't go back and lose money, I won't be in the mood to do post-production."
"That can't be done. If I really lose money, I have to hurry up and work to make up for it." Wang Wei said jokingly.
"Hey, if you say that, then I'm kind of looking forward to the collapse."
"Don't say this outside, it's easy to get beaten."
"I know, so I'm just telling you, anyway, you can't beat me."
"Hey, I'm really... cut, we are civilized people, we don't do these action-oriented things, I'm going to edit the film."
Meng Bai didn't know whether Wang Wei and Wu Bai listened to the advice. Anyway, he was now honestly holding the cash, waiting for the collapse, and then looking for cheap assets to invest in.
And the market didn't let him wait too long.
Just after the beginning of June, doubts about Leshi.com were still rising and falling, but then quickly no one cared.
Last Friday, the A-share Shanghai Composite Index reached 5178 points, and everyone believed that this bull market could exceed 6000.
After a weekend, many investors opened the stock software with good wishes.
Then they were directly hit by a wave of huge declines.
In less than half a month, the index turned downward and dived to 4000. Countless small retail investors were cheated and lost their fortunes and went to the rooftops.
But crises are also opportunities. Meng Bai, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately asked Chen Jing to start collecting the financing information of the companies he had previously circled.
Others are afraid, but I am greedy.
Finally, it was his turn to enter the market.
