Chapter 21 Still lacking investment?
"you……"
Li Xiao looked at Lin Biqi and opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know what to say.
The two of them had known each other since childhood only because of their elders, but he had never developed any romantic feelings for her and had always treated her as a younger sister.
"Qiqi, listen to me..."
"I won't listen!" Lin Biqi screamed hysterically, "I won't allow you to like anyone else, I won't allow you to be with anyone else, no, no, no, no!"
She seemed like a madman, and her sharp and piercing roar attracted countless strange looks, and many people recognized Li Xiao.
"Isn't that Li Xiao? What's going on?"
"Who is that girl? She was crying and screaming at the cafeteria entrance. Is she mentally ill?"
"It's probably not a serious relationship. No wonder his girlfriend broke up with him."
"Are you blind? This woman is far from being as good as Chen Ci."
As the discussions grew, Li Xiao felt overwhelmed. Chen Ci had always refused to reconcile with him, and now Qi Qi had come to add to the chaos. If Chen Ci knew about this, he would definitely not forgive him.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao deliberately raised his voice and said to Lin Biqi: "I don't need your permission to find a girlfriend! I just like Chen Ci!"
A word of loyalty made the spectators who were secretly watching the fun stare in surprise.
Lin Biqi cried even harder because of this, and shouted back, "No!"
Li Xiao was too lazy to deal with her, so he just left her there and turned away.
It’s a pity that Shen Ci didn’t see such a wonderful scene.
After she left school, she took a taxi directly to the real estate transaction center. The salesperson had made an appointment for the transfer of the second-hand house today.
I thought the other party had fully entrusted the transfer matters to the sales department, but I didn’t expect that after arriving at the scene, Shen Ci found out that the owner had come in person.
“Mr. Lu, this is Miss Shen who bought your house.”
As soon as they met, the sales girl started to introduce the two parties. Shen Ci saw the name tag on her work clothes and knew that she had been successfully converted to a regular employee.
Lu Jinzhao was a little surprised to see Shen Ci. Looking at her beautiful appearance and youthful temperament, she was completely different from the person he had imagined who could buy his house in full.
She looked, obviously, still a college student.
Shen Ci caught the astonishment in his eyes, smiled calmly and extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Hello." Lu Jinzhao stretched out his hand, and held Shen Ci's fingertips like a gentleman, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Miss Shen to be so young."
Having said that, he was still a little disappointed in his heart.
His original purpose of coming to handle the transfer in person was to get to know the person who spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy his house. He thought that the other party's identity and status must be extraordinary, because he learned from the salesperson that this person spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy two houses in one go, and paid in full.
Anyone who can have such a huge cash flow must be a big shot.
I didn't expect it to be a girl around 20 years old. It was probably because her family was rich, and it had nothing to do with this girl.
The entire process is handled by the salesperson, and the buyer and seller only need to provide identification and sign.
While waiting, Shen Ci looked at Lu Jinzhao and asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Lu reserved this house a year before it was launched. Why is he selling it less than half a year after buying it?"
Lu Jinzhao smiled upon hearing this and explained, "Plans can't keep up with changes. I've had my eyes on this villa complex for a long time, but the company spotted a project in the second half of the year that has great potential, so they decided to invest heavily. That's why I reluctantly parted with this house."
Chen Ci nodded. She remembered that the salesperson had told her that the original owner's company needed money and that was why they planned to sell the house.
Lu Jinzhao looked at Shen Ci for a long while, then suddenly asked, "Miss Shen, do you usually read novels?"
This nonsensical sentence made Shen Ci slightly stunned, and then nodded: "I see, I will use it to kill time when I am bored."
Lu Jinzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ms. Shen, have you read "The Fate of the Phoenix"? This book is very popular among you young people!"
Destiny is the Phoenix?
That online novel with a female protagonist?
"I know this book." Shen Ci nodded, and then a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "Could it be that Mr. Lu's company is planning to invest in a film or television adaptation of this novel?"
Lu Jinzhao nodded. "Yes, this book has become a huge online sensation and has a huge readership. It's our company's key IP for the second half of the year. We estimate we'll have to invest nearly 20,000 yuan to create an epic drama with a female lead!"
It turned out that the other party was the owner of a film and television company.
Twenty thousand yuan is equivalent to the previous two hundred million yuan. This investment amount can definitely be called a super large production.
Moreover, Chen Ci remembered that the drama "The Fate of the Phoenix" was very successful after it was adapted into a film and television series. It broke many records as soon as it was broadcast. The top female lead in the drama even became the top actress of the same period thanks to the drama. The new supporting actors also made their mark in the entertainment industry and gained a lot of national popularity.
She thought for a moment and looked at Lu Jinzhao with a smile: "Mr. Lu, do you still need investment?"
Lu Jinzhao was obviously stunned: "Miss Shen, you...you want to invest in our drama?"
As he spoke, his tone became obviously excited.
"Leave me your contact information. I'll take a closer look at this novel. If I think it has potential, I'll consider it."
Shen Ci didn't say too much, because she wanted to first understand the characters in the novel, see which one her sister was suitable for, and be guaranteed to get the role, so that she would decide to invest.
Lu Jinzhao nodded repeatedly and took out his mobile phone: “Miss Shen, I’ll scan you.”
The company invested almost everything in this project, and it took a year just to compete with other companies for the copyright.
If successful, the company will soar, but the lack of funds has always been the biggest obstacle to this project.
The company has been working on attracting investment, and now that the project is about to start, it is still far from the target of 20,000 yuan, so when Shen Ci took the initiative to express his willingness to invest, Lu Jinzhao's excitement was heartfelt.
"I wonder what Miss Shen's family does." Lu Jinzhao scanned Shen Ci's WeChat and asked.
Shen Ci responded calmly: “As an individual investor, I have a good eye, so I made some money.”
When Lu Jinzhao heard that Shen Ci was a professional investor, he was obviously shocked.
He has been in the business world for so many years and has met at least 800 investors and investors, if not a thousand. He has also met those young and promising investment geniuses, but this is the first time he has met someone as young as Chen Ci.
“Ms. Shen, this Friday night, we are holding a cocktail party for the project’s investors. Although you haven’t decided to invest yet, I still want to invite you to attend. Is that okay?”
Please give me a monthly ticket!
