Chapter 83 Investment, Spending 260 Million
"Ningning, why don't you help me choose which of these two movies I should choose?" Shen Xingyi also handed the two scripts he was reading to Song Zhining.
Shen Xingyi thinks both movies are good, but due to his current free time, he can only choose one to shoot.
He was a little hesitant to make a decision.
Song Zhining took it, feeling a bit amused and helpless. "You guys trust me so much? What if I make the wrong choice and you lose money? What if I make a bad choice?"
"That's nothing. How could we blame you?" Shen Xingyi and Li Jing said hurriedly.
Song Zhining felt relieved and said confidently, "Don't worry, I have confidence. I think my choice, as long as nothing unexpected happens, should not be wrong."
After saying that, Song Zhining looked at the two notebooks in his hand.
When Song Zhining saw that one of the books was called "Swift Wind" and the name of the other book was unfamiliar, he immediately had the answer in his mind.
However, Song Zhining still read it carefully before giving the answer that he already had.
"If it were me, I would choose this."
Song Zhining put his hand on the script of "The Wind".
Shen Xingyi slowly picked up the script of "The Wind" and said, "Okay, then I will shoot this."
Neither Shen Xingyi nor Li Jing had any objections. Perhaps because of what happened last time, in their hearts, Song Zhining was like their lucky star.
Fuxing's opinions are definitely better than those of ordinary people like them.
If you don’t listen to your lucky star, who else should you listen to?
Now that the decision had been made, Li Jing asked Chen Ming to take it away.
But when Li Jing gave Chen Ming the checked list and said that Song Zhining also wanted to invest, Chen Ming was stunned.
Chen Ming was not an assistant hired casually by Li Jing. He came from the Li Group. It was Li Jing's brother who asked him to come to Xingyao Entertainment to assist Li Jing for a year.
One year later, let him return to the Li Group.
Therefore, although Chen Ming is only an assistant, he is extremely capable and experienced.
In the less than half a year since Xingyao was founded, Chen Ming has provided great help to Li Jing and the development of Xingyao Entertainment.
Li Jing has also been working hard to learn how to manage a company.
Li Jing had always done a good job before.
But now…
Chen Ming had no objection to Miss Song wanting to invest.
Just looking at the projects that were screened out, many of them were checked out, even one hour more than the good ones that were screened out.
Chen Ming couldn't understand it.
"Mr. Li, can I ask why you chose the ones that were screened out below?" Chen Ming asked.
Li Jing didn't say it was Song Zhining who selected it, because he was afraid that Chen Ming would have a bad impression of Song Zhining and think she was meddling in his decision-making. "Because I think these will also be popular."
Chen Ming: ...But why do I feel like it won’t be popular?
They have all been screened out, and the possibility of becoming popular is very small. Instead of investing in these, it is better to choose the ones that have been screened out above.
"Assistant Chen, do you have any good ideas?" Li Jing asked with innocent eyes blinking.
Chen Ming: “…No.”
You are the president and I am just an assistant. How dare I have any opinions?
Thinking of what Li Chen had told him before coming here not to investigate and interfere with Li Jing's decision, Chen Ming didn't say anything more.
I'm just wondering about those people behind the scripts that couldn't get investment and were about to be rejected. They are blessed now.
I met one, no, two prodigals.
As for Shen Xingyi choosing "The Wind" between the two books, Chen Ming had no objection.
So, he went downstairs, and not long after, he came back and brought Song Zhining the amount of money she might need if she wanted to invest. There were 13 projects, the smallest of which required an investment of 2 million, and the largest required an investment of tens of millions. Adding all the money together, the amount was more than 260 million.
260 million doesn’t seem like a lot.
Song Zhining originally thought that there was not enough money in her bank card.
"Okay, sure, let's do it this way." Song Zhining said.
Li Jing also followed Song Zhining's investment, so it was also 260 million, which is...
"Mr. Li, Xingyao doesn't have that much cash flow at the moment, we're still short of 100 million." Chen Ming also works part-time as the company's finance officer, so he knows all this.
"It's okay. I'll call my eldest brother later and ask him to call me. He should agree."
Chen Ming: ...
Your eldest brother is a brother-con and he also owns the Li Group with a market value of over 100 billion. He will definitely agree to your request. It's just a small goal and it's not as good as his younger brother's.
"Okay, then I'll contact the people in charge of these projects now, draw up the contracts, and sign them tomorrow?"
"Okay." Li Jing and Song Zhining both agreed.
Chen Ming returned to his office and first called the director of "The Wind" and the persons in charge of the projects that had been selected as good before, telling them that Xingyao Entertainment and Miss Song were planning to invest, and also stating the amount, and asked them to come to Xingyao Entertainment tomorrow to sign the contract.
Afterwards, his eyes fell on the projects below that were originally going to be eliminated.
It's a bit annoying, I don't want to contact you in person.
Thinking that these screened-out projects were most likely destined to lose money, Chen Ming covered his chest with his hands.
No, I can't think about it, otherwise Chen Ming, who is known by the outside world as a miser who only takes in money and never gives out, will be heartbroken.
So, he beckoned his subordinates over and said, "I'm feeling a little unwell and need to go get some rest. Contact the project leaders and tell them that Xingyao and Miss Song want to invest. Tell them the specific amount and have them come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract."
"Okay, Assistant Chen."
So, Chen Ming left with his hands covering his chest. When his subordinates saw this, they felt that the workaholic Chen Zhu was really not feeling well, otherwise they would not have let him share the burden.
He didn't dare to delay and started contacting her immediately.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ni Yong, the person in charge of 'Youthful Beauty Trainee'? We at Xingyao and Ms. Song Zhining are planning to invest in your project..."
…
Ni Yong is the person in charge of the project "Youthful and Beautiful Trainee". He is from Orange TV. He spent countless days and nights writing this talent show project. He believes that as long as it is carried out, it will definitely become a hit in the future.
But when he really went to seek investment, no one was optimistic about his idea because it was too innovative, and no company or individual was willing to invest.
He submitted the project, but did not receive any call from anyone willing to invest.
Ni Yong was afraid that they had forgotten, so he took the initiative to call and ask, but the answer he got was: they had not forgotten, but they were unwilling to invest, thinking that there was no value and that the investment might be wasted with no return value.
"How can it be a waste of time? My show will definitely be a hit."
"Really, believe me, this show doesn't require a lot of investment."
"Mr. Ni Yong, this is what everyone who submits a project says, but our company has its own evaluation system. I'm sorry, your project does not meet our investment standards." After that, the phone was hung up.
