Chapter 170 Playing Pigs to Eat Tigers
When they heard that Shen Ci wanted to fill all the remaining budget holes, everyone present was shocked.
Including Yan Wenxi and Boss Yang.
Apart from anything else, as an investor, everyone will control investment risks, and will make a relatively conservative estimate of the asset thickness and the ratio of project profit and loss based on the investor's own strength.
As soon as the price was 32,000, even the two big bosses at the top would probably think twice.
Because as Yan Wenxi said, "Is there any business in this world that is guaranteed to make a profit?"
Although the project is good, if you are too ambitious, the consequences can be imagined if it fails.
For a moment, the expressions on these people's faces changed again and again, but the obvious effect was that the contempt they had at the beginning was no longer there when they looked at Chen Ci.
No matter where she comes from or what her status is, the fact that she can offer such a price shows her strength.
Lu Jinzhao and Hui Yang were even more excited and straightened their bodies in the direction of Shen Ci. Hui Yang raised his wine glass and said, "Miss Shen trusts us so much, I toast you!"
Lu Jinzhao said with concern: "Miss Shen, please tell us the conditions. As long as we can do it, we will definitely not shake our heads."
Shen Ci was about to speak, but Boss Yang suddenly came to his senses and interrupted: "Xiao Lu, wait a minute..."
With this sound, everyone's attention returned to Boss Yang.
Shen Ci also looked over, his face calm.
Boss Yang's look at her was much more meaningful. He smiled before saying, "We'll discuss the conditions later. Little Miss, you just said you wanted to invest 32,000?"
Shen Ci nodded slightly, and asked with a little doubt: "Isn't it a bit too much?"
Seeing her naive reaction, Boss Yang's smile widened. "Let me tell you this, my brother Xizi and I have been investing in film and television projects for seven or eight years, and we've never invested more than 20,000 yuan in a single project. Isn't that a bit too radical, little beauty?"
"Brother Yang, it's not enough that he manages tens of thousands of employees, but he also has to worry about how much money this young lady invests?" Yan Wenxi said coldly, "She's optimistic about this project, so what's wrong with investing more?"
"Brother, you're wrongly accusing me again. How can I be considered nosy? I'm just teaching this little beauty how to manage risks."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci blinked gently, and then explained softly, "I understand Boss Yang's good intentions. I didn't intend to invest so much. I thought that as a junior, I would be honored if everyone was willing to take me on a good project. So, I originally planned to give me some of the remaining fly legs after everyone had quoted their prices, and I would eat them as meat."
"I didn't expect everyone to be so conservative. In the end, what was left was not a fly leg, but a heart-protecting meat. So I didn't hesitate."
As he spoke, Chen Ci glanced around at the investors present with an innocent look on his face, and asked again: "Or do you want to add some more? Anyway, it's not completely confirmed yet, everyone can think about it again. If anyone wants to raise the price, then I am very willing to give it up."
She spoke very seriously, and her expression made it seem even more sincere.
But these people are bound by social conventions, or the invisible rules of this circle.
As a rookie, Chen Ci could pretend to be ignorant and overshadow the investment of Boss Yang and Brother Xizi, but they didn't dare.
If you are afraid in your heart, you will appear timid.
But are you saying that Shen Ci has no scruples? But that is certainly impossible. She knows very well that she cannot touch the tiger's butt now. Not to mention the two big bosses in the upper position, even if it is other people, Shen Ci may not be able to afford to offend them.
But she can pretend, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. When is this trick most effective?
The first time works best!
Everyone looked at their noses and their hearts, but no one took the initiative to speak.
Seeing this, Chen Ci showed a disappointed expression: "Boss Yang, look, no one is joining. If I don't cover the cost, President Lu and President Hui will have to go looking for investment. This project is so excellent. If we start it with a budget shortfall, won't we still be the ones who suffer losses in the future?"
"If you lose, you will be in big trouble." Boss Yang said meaningfully.
Chen Ci nodded with an indoctrinated expression: "Of course. Ever since I joined the investment bank, I have known that high returns come with high risks. I will go to the project from time to time to burn incense and pray for blessings, and strive for us to make a little more money."
Having said that, Boss Yang could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay, little beauty, you are courageous. I underestimated you."
Boss Yang did not show any dissatisfaction. It was true that he was a big boss, but he had never said in person that others were not allowed to invest more than himself.
These are the rules that people in the circle tacitly set for themselves, mainly because they are afraid of angering him.
Today, Shen Ci set a precedent. It seemed reckless, but in fact, Boss Yang didn't really take it to heart. People with courage will always get a few more pieces of meat. This is an unchanging rule since ancient times.
As for Yan Wenxi, he didn't care even more.
Seeing this, Lu Jinzhao was really worried about Chen Ci. He had seen how Chen Ci behaved, so he was the only one present who had some understanding of Chen Ci.
He could see that Shen Ci was maneuvering, but he was also secretly nervous for her, afraid that she would say something wrong and offend someone she shouldn't offend.
It's okay.
"Can I tell you my conditions now?" Shen Ci suddenly looked at Lu Jinzhao.
Lu Jinzhao nodded repeatedly: “Ms. Shen, please speak.”
Chen Ci opened the project file, stared at the name in the male lead column for a moment, and blurted out: "Wang Su, this actor is not good, he needs to be replaced."
"ah?"
The person who reacted subconsciously was not Lu Jinzhao, but Hui Yang on the other side of Shen Ci.
Because Wang Su is a male artist of their "Li Yang" Entertainment, one of the most famous comedy actors in the country. The two companies cooperated, with the female lead being Ji Chuhe from "Jin Xiao" and the male lead being Wang Su from "Li Yang". This model has always been used.
"Ms. Shen, Mr. Wang Su is the most powerful comedian in the country. Haven't you seen his movies before? Then I recommend it to you. You like..."
Chen Ci raised his head slightly and interrupted Hui Yang's popularization, and said softly: "I know the actor Wang Su, but I have never had a good impression of him. I would not feel at ease if he participated in the film."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Hui Yang and said seriously, "I have a feeling he's going to collapse!"
This sentence caused a noticeable fluctuation in Hui Yang's eyes, and his heart became nervous.
Because Shen Ci was right.
Chen Ci had a deep impression of this movie. This movie was very successful in his previous life. The male lead was originally Wang Su, but two months before the Spring Festival release, he was exposed in a domestic violence scandal, and all the TV series and movies he broadcast were boycotted by the entire network.
