◎Making money◎
Something's wrong with the company!
When Cheng Yu analyzed the process of the incident to Yu Feiyu, he understood that it was very likely.
Lingman Entertainment has had similar experiences throughout its development, but they have never been so obvious.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
After making a promise to Cheng Yu, Yu Feiyu immediately sent his chief assistant to investigate.
To their surprise, the mastermind behind the scenes didn't seem to have any intention of covering up.
The general assistant simply followed the clues and found the person as a junior manager in the company.
But the matter was not simple. The manager was the nephew of one of the company's major shareholders.
When Yu Feiyu invited Zhang Lichengyu and the manager to the conference room for face-to-face questioning, the other party did not show any nervousness at all.
"Mr. Yu, why did you call me over? I still have a lot of things to do."
In fact, that position is just a place where you can just sit back and get paid.
Seeing the other party's nonchalant attitude, Yu Feiyu felt unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He glanced at Cheng Yu and Zhang Li, then went straight to the point.
"I heard that when President Cheng was taking resources from the company, you had a hand in it? What's going on? Are you dissatisfied with the company in some way?"
Hearing this, the manager laughed out loud. "Why would I be dissatisfied with the company? My uncle is a shareholder, and I still get a salary from the company."
"Then why did you do this?!" Yu Feiyu's expression was already oppressive. "Do you know that this is called revealing company secrets? The company can directly sue you!"
Seeing this, the manager finally put away his playful smile.
"Then why don't you sue me and see if my uncle will do it?"
"Your uncle is your uncle, and you are you. Do you really think the company is your backyard?!" Cheng Yu couldn't help but speak.
The manager sat opposite, looking at Cheng Yu with squinted eyes, and then glanced at Zhang Li, who was sitting steadily, with an ambiguous look.
"Don't you also treat the company as your own backyard? Aside from being good-looking, didn't you just sign in all the other awful people without their consent?"
He had a look on his face that said, "How dare you say that to me?"
Cheng Yu really wanted to crush this kid to death.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to think he was right and started preaching.
"I'm doing this for the good of the company. President Cheng, do you know how much trouble this woman has brought to the company?"
"She was so shameless as to provoke Pei Yuanzhi, and was banned by him, which is fine. But now everyone knows that the Liu family, together with the Pei family and several other large families, has also issued a ban. Who can still protect her?"
"This fire hasn't reached the company yet, so you still think it's not that serious. Wait until those companies find out and you're trying to protect it. Just wait and see if the company will be affected!"
What he said seemed reasonable at first, but Yu Feiyu's face looked a little ugly.
"What? Are the Liu and Pei families your overlords?"
The Liu and Pei families could ban people, so why couldn't a company as big as his protect people? If the company didn't make a statement, what would others think?
They are said to be sycophants and cannot even protect a single artist under their management?
What do other signed artists think about this?
After being retorted by Yu Feiyu, the manager felt a little embarrassed and restrained himself a little, but stopped talking.
Not long after, the major shareholder notified by Yu Feiyu also arrived.
"What? What happened? Why are you calling me here so urgently?"
Once the major shareholder appeared, the manager had a backer and regained his arrogance.
"Uncle, you don't know, I'm thinking about the company, but some people don't appreciate it..." As he said that, he turned black into white, saying that he was paid to reveal Zhang Li's information because he was afraid that the company would be implicated.
As soon as the major shareholder heard this, he immediately sided with his nephew.
"Boss Yu, you're such a jerk! The Liu and Pei families are serious this time. Are you going to sacrifice the entire company's interests for just one artist?"
Yu Feiyu's eyes darkened. "Mr. Chen, have you forgotten how Lingman Entertainment grew from a small agency to what it is today?"
Understanding his implicit meaning, the major shareholder couldn't help but sneer.
"The company and the agents are only mutually beneficial. If it weren't for the initial capital raised by our major shareholders, would Lingman Entertainment have been able to develop?"
"Boss Yu, things are different now. Everyone can see Boss Cheng's abilities, but you can't just push a pile of mud against the wall to prove yourself. Look at this circle, there are always beautiful women out there..."
He said this directly in front of Cheng Yu and Zhang Li, which shows that he felt that Zhang Li would never be able to turn things around under the siege of the Liu and Pei families.
The person involved, Zhang Li, did not say anything, but just looked at him with a smile, silently memorizing his name and appearance.
It's rare to see her look like this. If it were someone who knew her in her previous life, they would probably be frightened, apologize quickly and run away.
However, the other party didn't take her, a small artist, seriously at all, and said the last sentence to Yu Feiyu.
"Mr. Yu, I suggest you think carefully about this. After all, this company doesn't belong to you alone. If you lose a lot of profits, do you think the other shareholders will stand on your side? Or not?"
This sentence was like putting Yu Feiyu on the fire, and he suddenly fell silent.
At this point, the other party gave his nephew a look and took the lead to leave the meeting room.
The manager left with a smug look on his face, as if he had won a victory.
Cheng Yu was filled with anger when listening to them talking.
After the two left, she took a deep breath, which was noticed by Yu Feiyu.
"sister……"
Cheng Yu patted his shoulder and said, "No need to say more, I understand."
Zhang Li, who was sitting on the other side, finally spoke at this time.
"How much shares does Chen Zhensheng hold in the company?"
Yu Feiyu didn't understand why she asked this, but he answered her calmly: "9.8 percent."
"Where are the other shareholders?" Zhang Li continued to ask.
"The rest of the shareholders, big and small, together account for about 50%. Several of them are my good friends, and the remaining 40% belongs to me and Mr. Cheng."
After hearing about the share distribution, Zhang Li almost understood the current situation of Lingman Entertainment.
At its peak, Lingman Entertainment's market capitalization reached over 2 billion RMB. Unfortunately, with the retirement of several artists under Cheng Yu, its market capitalization has dropped to around 10 billion RMB. Of course, this includes the premium.
Yu Feiyu holds more than 30% of the shares, and he is definitely the person with the most shares. Together with Cheng Yu who is on the same side as him, and a few good friends, he may be able to ensure the stability of his position as president. However, since there are many other shareholders and they hold a lot of shares, he is afraid that these people will stab him in the back.
It seems that there are hidden dangers within Lingman Entertainment itself, and Yu Feiyu will definitely encounter great obstacles if he wants to protect her.
If it were in his previous life, Zhang Li would have plenty of ways to solve his current predicament.
But she has only been here for a short time, and she has no power, and money seems to be a long way to go.
In an instant, after analyzing the matter completely, Zhang Li did not intend to sit and wait for death.
It seems that if you want to develop in the entertainment industry, you have to spend money to back it up.
However, how to get a large sum of money quickly in the shortest time is a problem.
