Chapter 5 Investment
Wang Jing smiled and congratulated him, "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, Mr. Top Scholar. Please take a seat, you are welcome to sit here. What would you like to drink, tea or coffee?"
"Tea, thank you." Liu Shishi was a little shy and stood quietly aside.
Wang Jing instructed the secretary, "Tiantian, go pour another cup of tea. This girl is Liu Shishi, Mr. Song's sister."
Jiang Tiantian was very quick and quick. She quickly poured a cup of tea and said politely with a smile, "Miss Liu, your tea. Mr. Wang, I'll be out first if I have nothing else to do."
Wang Jing is very thorough in her work. "Tiantian, tidy up the big office next to mine. From now on, that will be Mr. Song's office. After I finish reporting, remember to ask Mr. Song what needs to be configured for the office."
"Okay, Mr. Wang." Seeing Wang Jing waving her hand and saying nothing more, Jiang Tiantian turned around and left the office, closing the door and letting the leaders talk.
Song Ci sat down on the leather sofa in the office. Seeing Liu Shishi still standing there somewhat stiffly, he quickly waved to her to sit next to him.
"Shishi, please sit down. Relax a little. You and Sister Jing are old acquaintances. You should listen to what I will say to Sister Jing right now. This is your first lesson as a secretary."
After taking a look at Wang Jing, Liu Shishi shyly prepared to sit next to Song Ci. She looked so well-behaved and very cute!
"Shishi will be helping out in the company for the next two months. Sister Jing, please take care of her in the future."
After Liu Shishi sat down, Song Ci officially began to explain the purpose of this trip and asked Wang Jing, "The company is now gradually staffed. How do you plan to carry out your subsequent work as the general manager?"
Seeing the boss mention work, Wang Jing immediately sorted out her thoughts and said seriously: "In addition to the administrative department, the company now has established and operated five major business departments, including the Advertising Planning Department, Copyright Acquisition Department, Internet Marketing Department, Project Investment Department, and Special Effects Business Department. There are also film and television production departments and artist management departments that are under construction.
The company was established nearly half a year ago, and currently only the advertising planning department has started to make a profit, while other departments are all loss-making. In particular, copyright acquisition and special effects are big money-burners, and it is difficult to make a profit in a short period of time. The company's cash in the account is running low. "
Song Ci nodded: "Don't be afraid of losses. We need to have a long-term vision. The company can still afford the losses for the time being. Sister Jing, you should continue to increase the acquisition of film, television, and music network copyrights. As for special effects production, we should recruit talents in this field as soon as possible and provide preferential treatment."
Pick up the teacup and take a sip of the fragrant green tea. The light bitterness makes Song Ci's thinking clearer.
After a brief thought, he said, "How about this, Sister Jing? Separate copyright acquisition and special effects production from Tengda Culture and set up two separate subsidiaries with independent financial accounting. I can allow the new special effects company to not make a profit in the first three years. As for working capital, I will inject another 10 million into the company."
Since his rebirth, Song Ci has been making money whenever he has the chance. In addition to the royalties from his novels, he made over 50 million yuan from World Cup football betting and domain name resale in 1998 and 2002. Add to that the money he made from entrusting brokers to buy NetEase stocks at a low price, and he is a billionaire.
However, most of the money was invested in the stock market in the name of his parents, part of it in US stocks, and part of it was used to buy stocks of companies such as Shuanghui Foods. As far as I remember, the stock price of Shuanghui Foods has skyrocketed 10 times in recent years, and it is not yet time to cash out.
"Film and TV project investment, what progress have you made?"
Wang Jing continued to report: "I have found a project these days and have almost finished the negotiation. It is "Chinese Divorce" produced by Golden Shield Films. I have read the script. It talks about the sensitive topic of marriage at present. The ratings should be good. Golden Shield is almost ready, but lacks investment. I plan to participate in it. It is the first project invested by the company."
Song Ci knew about "Chinese Divorce". According to her memory, the drama should have been aired. It seemed that the butterfly effect caused the delay of the drama.
"Previous Life" is starred by Chen Daoming and Jiang Wenli. This TV series is an in-depth exploration of the marital status of the Chinese people and closely follows the topics of the times. After the broadcast of "Previous Life", it caused a certain response in the society. It is indeed an excellent and impressive work.
"Since you are optimistic about it, just invest." Song Ci did not ask about the specific details of the project and gave Wang Jing a positive answer.
Song Ci did not ask too much about this project, not because he knew that "Chinese Divorce" would be a success. He would have the same attitude if it were any other TV series.
At the beginning of the company's establishment, Song Ci promised to delegate power fully and trust his employees. As the first project invested by Wang Jing in exercising his rights as general manager, Song Ci would not interfere in any matter of success or failure within 5 million yuan.
In two or three years, when smartphones appeared, Wang Jing would focus on the mobile Internet. Besides some key projects, Wang Jing would be in charge of other matters of Tenda Culture. Of course, according to the company's rules and procedures, financial audits were essential.
Seeing that Song Ci didn’t ask for details, Wang Jing understood what he meant and continued to report: “There is also a TV series called “The Yang Family Generals”, produced by Huaxin Film and Television, with a considerable investment.
They invited Su Youpeng from Taiwan and Cai Lin from South Korea to be the male and female protagonists, and also invited Zhao Yazhi, who had been away from the Hong Kong screen for eight years. It was really amazing!
I heard that Huaxin Film and Television had already reached an agreement with Tianzhong Culture to jointly invest in filming, but recently there was some unpleasantness between the two parties, and the project was stalled, so Huaxin Film and Television announced that it would look for a new partner.
Song Ci helped analyze, "It's nothing more than a matter of interests. An established film and television company like Tianzhong Culture naturally wants to promote its own contracted artists when investing in a drama. With Huaxin putting together such a lineup, how can Tianzhong Culture promote anyone? Naturally, there will be some wrangling for a while.
However, Tengda Culture currently does not have any artist management business. "The Yang's Generals" is quite suitable for us. As for pure financial investment, I think Huaxin Film and Television should welcome us.
Let’s negotiate this project as soon as possible. If Tianzhong and Huaxin reach an agreement, we won’t have a chance to intervene. With so many big-name actors, the ratings will definitely not be too bad. Tianzhong Culture won’t last long.”
Seeing that Song Ci also approved of this project, Wang Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'm also optimistic about "The Yang Family Generals". Then I will negotiate with Huaxin Film and Television as soon as possible and try to finalize the investment."
"In addition to these two investments, is there any progress in the company's own film and television drama projects? Now the company's production department has so many people, it has to get moving."
When Wang Jing heard Song Ci ask this, she made a bitter face and answered with some embarrassment: "The company's production team can be gradually completed before August, but the company has just been established, and there are no directors I know, and there are no good scripts in hand, so self-made projects cannot be carried out."
Knowing Wang Jing's difficulties, Song Ci thought for a while and said, "I will take care of the script problem for the time being. I can write a few scripts for the company as an emergency. The screenwriter team also needs to recruit people."
