Chapter 157: An honest man who doesn't talk much
At Beijing North International Airport, a white Mercedes-Benz SUV slowly drove into the garage.
The car didn't seem to be in a hurry to park, and drove past several empty parking spaces in a row.
After turning left and right for a long time, it finally stopped in front of a black Cayenne.
Then, a slender figure got out of the SUV. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, he said a few words to the people in the car, and then turned and got into the Cayenne next to him.
"Is anyone following us?"
"No, don't worry."
"That's good, huh--"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qin Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off the hat, sunglasses and mask he had been wearing for a long time.
Meng Bai, who was standing by, saw her flustered look and couldn't help laughing: "I say, sister, we are not underground contacts, do we have to be so cautious?"
"You are talking without any pain in your waist." Qin Lan rolled his eyes at him, "Nowadays, fans and netizens are so powerful, they can recognize you even if you show your chin."
"If they recognize you, they will recognize you." Meng Bai said with an indifferent expression: "You are not married and I am not married, we are both single, what are you afraid of?"
"Oh, really." Qin Lan looked at him teasingly, "Aren't you afraid that your girlfriends will see you and cause trouble for you?"
"What girlfriends?" Meng Bai reached out and gently pinched Qin Lan's chin, turning her face around, "Isn't this a big friend in front of me?"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and kissed the other's soft lips.
"Well-"
Qin Lan closed her eyes and hummed softly in her throat.
After a while, until she felt a pair of hands touch her chest along her clothes, she woke up from the pleasure and slapped the "evil" hands away.
"Don't do it here, it's too conspicuous." Qin Lan bit her lips lightly, her eyes were hot, "Let's go to my place."
Although Meng Bai really wanted to try the quality of the Cayenne's shock absorption system, what Qin Lan said made sense. The airport was crowded with people, and it was indeed a bit eye-catching.
"Okay, then sit down."
Meng Bai reminded him, then stepped on the accelerator and drove to Qin Lan's community at the highest speed limit.
Going upstairs and closing the door, Meng Bai reached out to hold the woman beside him, intending to continue his unfinished business.
"Wait a minute." Qin Lan pushed him gently: "I just got off the plane, I stink, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Where is it smelly?" Meng Bai bit her fair neck lightly: "It's obviously sweet."
"Hateful, itchy." Qin Lan patted him lightly, then raised her hand and pushed him to sit on the sofa in the living room: "Be good and sit down, sister will come to pamper you later."
Seeing Qin Lan taking clothes into the bathroom, Meng Bai got up and went to the bathroom door.
Hearing the sound of running water coming from inside, he took off his clothes and threw them aside, then opened the door and walked in.
"Ah!"
Qin Lan was washing with her eyes closed, and suddenly felt someone coming up behind her. She exclaimed, turned around and saw that it was Meng Bai.
"I knew you wouldn't wait outside honestly." Qin Lan rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
Meng Bai chuckled, turned off the shower, then put his arm around the woman's waist, picked her up and put her in front of the mirror on the washstand.
"Don't do it here, it's too cold... Don't, don't face the mirror... Then hurry up... Um--"
...
from day to night.
The battle finally came to an end until Qin Lan's originally clear voice gradually became hoarse.
"I'm a little convinced now that you really don't have a girlfriend." Qin Lan leaned on Meng Bai's shoulder and said weakly.
I remember that the last time the two of them were almost evenly matched. After not seeing each other for half a year, I thought their fighting power was about the same.
As a result, when the battle started, he found that the opponent's first blood bar was not used up, and his third blood bar was emptied, leaving him no power to fight back.
Hearing this, Meng Bai smiled silently.
He had originally planned to take advantage of the "verbal dispute" with Song Zhi to revisit the old place.
Unexpectedly, due to the crew accident and replacement, Li Qin also joined the crew.
Under the mutual "supervision" of the two girls, Meng Bai did not find a chance to break through.
After accumulating for several months, today's battle is just in time.
As expected, the sister is still fragrant.
Reaching out and embracing the exhausted Qin Lan. The physical exercise is over, and it is necessary to occasionally exercise the heart.
"By the way, didn't you tell me before that you were going to be on the Spring Festival Gala?" Meng Bai asked, "I watched the whole show on New Year's Day, but
I didn't see you." "I get angry when I talk about this." Qin Lan said with some dissatisfaction: "Our program was originally supposed to be on the Spring Festival Gala, but in the last few days, we were suddenly told that it was not suitable, and then it was taken down."
Before the New Year last year, Qin Lan received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program team to participate in a dance called "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance".
The theme of the dance is "Four Beauties", and Qin Lan plays Xi Shi. In addition to her, there are Tong Liya, Wang Likun and Ma Su.
Although the influence and popularity of the Spring Festival Gala have been declining in recent years, for actors, being able to be on the Spring Festival Gala still represents a high degree of recognition.
So when Qin Lan received the invitation, she immediately agreed to participate, and even turned down a play specifically for rehearsal.
As it was almost the last round of rehearsals, the Spring Festival Gala director team suddenly told her that the quality of the program was not high. First, it was moved to after midnight, and then it was directly cancelled.
She prepared for several months with full confidence, but in the end she was told that it was not possible, and no one would be happy.
Fortunately, the program was later moved to the Lantern Festival Gala.
But even though it was on the show, the audience's evaluation was not high. Among the four actors, only one and a half could dance. The difficulty was reduced a lot, and the effect was greatly reduced.
Many comments on the Internet said that it was not the fault of the Spring Festival Gala that she was eliminated, and what kind of dance was it.
Qin Lan, who was already unhappy, was in an even worse mood. So after finishing the work at hand, she ran to Hong Kong to buy things to vent her emotions, and did not come back until today.
"You've been shopping for half a month? Rich lady, please take me with you and support me."
"How can you say that?" Qin Lan glanced at him: "Just the money we invested before, how much has it increased now."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, speaking of investment, have you heard that Leshi Pictures is planning to start another 'B+ round' of financing recently?"
Meng Bai nodded: "Leshi has mentioned it, and asked me if I want to make some additional investments."
Qin Lan regained her strength when talking about her own little money.
She got up from the bed, pulled the quilt over her body to cover her naked body, looked at Meng Bai and asked, "What do you think? Are you going to add another round?"
Meng Bai shook his head, "I told Leshi that we would consider it, but I don't really want to add any more. Even the ones we have now, I am still hesitating whether to sell them?"
"Why?" Qin Lan said in surprise, "Isn't Leshi's stock price rising very well, and its financial situation is also very good, why are you selling it?"
Meng Bai frowned and said, "It's because it's rising well that I feel it's wrong."
Financing, to put it bluntly, is using future earnings such as shares to exchange for current resources.
If it is a start-up company, it is developing rapidly and lacks money, so it is normal to frequently start a new round of financing.
But for Leshi Pictures, which has already developed to a certain stage and is still in the process of merger and reorganization with Leshi.com, why did it start two rounds of financing in less than half a year?
Leshi's stock price has now risen to nearly 100 yuan, and the growth rate has not slowed down. Buying it is making money.
At this time, continuing to issue additional shares for financing is equivalent to giving money away for nothing.
Boss Jia is a pure businessman, and it is impossible for him to do business at a loss.
So there are only two possibilities for this situation. Either Leshi Group has some special strategic plans that require a large amount of funds;
or Leshi's financial situation is far from being as good as the external data shows.
Relatively speaking, Meng Bai is more inclined to the latter.
Because if there is really any major strategic plan, even Liu Jun, a senior executive at the group headquarters, would not have heard nothing at all.
"But don't listed companies have financial audits? If there is really a problem, shouldn't it be shown in the financial report?" Qin Lan asked.
Meng Bai also asked Chen Jing about this question. Leshi.com's annual external financial report audit has always been rated as "excellent".
However, Chen Jing told him that there is a lot to be done about auditing.
With all kinds of financial means, the capital flow of the main companies has not yet exploded, so it is completely possible to whitewash the peace.
What's more, there is another very effective means for these listed companies, which is to directly buy off the auditing companies and let them give good reviews with their eyes closed.
"Maybe you're overthinking it." Qin Lan hesitated and said, "If it's so obvious, why haven't you seen anyone else mention these things?"
Although she felt that what Meng Bai said seemed to make sense, she felt a little unwilling to give up such a great opportunity to make money.
Meng Bai smiled, and he understood Qin Lan's thoughts.
"Most of what I said is indeed my guess, but I'm not the only one who has this idea."
In fact, since 2012, various financial media and related practitioners have been questioning the financial situation of Leshi.com.
However, these doubts have basically been covered up by the rapid development of Leshi.com.
But covering up does not mean that there is no. Ordinary investors may not care about the details, but professional investment institutions and capital parties will definitely notice some "clues".
It's just that they all tacitly chose not to say it. Not only will they
not say it, they will also take the initiative to help cover it up, and then continue to rush in.
"Why is this?" Qin Lan asked in confusion.
"It's like passing the parcel." Meng Bai said, "It's a game of greater fools. Everyone thinks they won't be the last fool."
"Then why don't we..."
Meng Bai shook his head, "I'm an honest man and don't like to gamble."
"You, an honest man?" Qin Lan had a "shameless" expression on his face, "Don't waste the word honest man."
"What's wrong with me? From childhood to adulthood, people have always commented on me as 'an honest person who doesn't talk much'."
"Haha."
