"Boss Yang, I'm Gu Yongxin. Do you still remember that there is someone like me in the company?"
To be honest, if it weren't for this phone call, Mr. Yang would have almost forgotten about these junior students...
How could a bunch of junior students who didn't even have a basic understanding of the entertainment industry come up with something decent? Even Mr. Yang, who had been in the entertainment industry for a full year and had countless successful experiences, was still confused about how to come up with something decent.
If he had known that what he had tinkered with could be so good, he would not have chosen to tinker with it in the first place.
Yang Ruoqian remained calm: "I'm not old enough to forget such an important project. Just tell me what you want to say."
Gu Yongxin said cautiously: "Boss Yang, the matter at Gaoyao Group was not arranged by you, right?"
Gaoyao Group... what's going on? Kuiguang and Gaoyao's businesses are completely different, so what can be arranged? Shao Yiqi also said that his father would not make a friendship investment for his sake.
Yang Ruoqian walked out of the hall and stood at the elevator door in front of the corridor: "What exactly happened? Tell me word for word."
Chang Zhiqing and Shao Yiqi saw that Yang Ruoqian looked serious, so they did not interrupt him.
"Boss Yang, does our company have any business dealings with Gaoyao Group?"
"Not at all." Yang Ruoqian was even more confused. "Could it be that your project involves Gaoyao Group?"
Gu Yongxin was silent for a moment, then denied: "It didn't involve Gaoyao Group."
It's fine if it's not involved...
Otherwise, Yang Ruoqian would definitely give Shao Yiqi, the rebellious son who lied about military intelligence, a good beating.
"It's fine as long as it's not involved..." Yang Ruoqian replied, and then added with some concern, "If there are similar things in the future, you must make careful decisions. You must know that the waters of large companies are very complicated. I'm afraid you can't handle it."
Gu Yongxin scratched his head: "Well, senior, you may be a little late. Although our project did not cooperate with Gaoyao Group, we accidentally cooperated with Shao Changfeng himself. It should, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
No cooperation with Gaoyao Group...
But after working with Shao Changfeng himself...
And Shao Changfeng himself...
"What?!" The sudden surprise almost made Yang Ruoqian crush his phone. "Please explain clearly what cooperation is and how it is carried out. What stage has the cooperation progressed to?"
Gu Yongxin continued scratching his head: "Ah, I went to Qianda Plaza to hand out flyers this morning, and I accidentally handed the flyer to Shao Changfeng. After asking a few questions, he seemed quite interested in our project..."
"So... just, Mr. Yang, you know what I mean."
I understand? Yang Ruoqian laughed in anger: "What kind of project is this? Tell me."
Gu Yongxin kept scratching his head: "Ah... Didn't you assign this project to us?"
How come even Mr. Yang, who arranged the project, didn't know what the project was? Did he really write a completely meaningless project book at that time? Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched: "...You answer whatever the leader asks. It's not that I don't know the project I arranged, but I'm afraid that you will make mistakes when executing it."
Gu Yongxin's doubts were finally dispelled, and she said honestly: "Boss Yang, the project we are working on is, uh, a private customization."
"To put it simply, others give us money, we make movies for them based on their needs, and then let Shelter Company release them, highlighting our own entertainment..."
"In short, we help our customers turn their dreams into reality! How about that? Isn't it great?"
Yang Ruoqian: “…Uh, it’s okay.”
Spending money to help clients realize their dreams, doing whatever they want? Why does this sound a bit like an advanced version of script-killing? Just thinking about it in my mind, it doesn't seem like an easy way to make money - even if all costs are compressed to the extreme like the Shelter Company, the cost of a movie is still very high.
Arranging extras costs money, right? Props cost money, right? Location fees are also an expense, right? Even if an extra only works for a day and is paid a hundred yuan, a movie will need more than a dozen people, plus the food for filming, so the wages will be several thousand yuan.
Including the cost of props and venue, it would be impossible to cover the cost without tens of thousands of dollars.
It is definitely not a project that ordinary people can afford.
A project that cannot enter thousands of households is destined to take the high-end and elite route.
High-end and elite development relies heavily on brand effect.
If Disney were to launch such a project, perhaps many people would be willing to pay for it, because it not only has consumer attributes, but also social attributes.
Through such a circle, perhaps we can get to know more high-net-worth individuals, and the film production company itself is also well-known enough.
Kuiguang Group...Although it is quite famous nowadays, its brand effect can only be said to be better than nothing.
How could an average person spend tens of thousands of dollars just to make a self-entertaining movie or play a high-level game of house? The only hidden danger now is that Shao Changfeng, a martial arts master, is inexplicably trying to get involved...
When a big boss spends money, he won’t lose face even if he is very frugal.
There are definitely expenses of hundreds of thousands.
However, the income of several hundred thousand is only a one-time one, and overall the problems with this project are not that big - big bosses like Shao Changfeng have a lot of things to deal with every day anyway, and after this time, it is unlikely that he will be able to do it again.
This kind of experience usually only happens once in a lifetime.
It feels like a project that is doomed to fail, so there is no need to call a halt...
"Well, it's OK." Gu Yongxin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the boss's affirmation. "Then is there anything we need to pay attention to when we receive Shao Changfeng?"
"I'm afraid if I don't do something well, there might be an incident between the companies!"
Yang Ruoqian was not worried about any accidents. He even hoped that some accidents would happen to ruin the reputation of this so-called private customization. "It doesn't matter. We can do whatever makes him happy and whatever he asks."
"Okay, I'll do it then, Mr. Yang, just wait for my good news!"
Yang Ruoqian thought about it, made sure there was nothing missing, and nodded: "Then hang up... Oh, by the way, when you do things, remember to find the state of the interview at that time."
Gu Yongxin listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver: "..."
When Yang Ruoqian went to the university for an interview, Gu Yongxin thought that there was no way he would be admitted given his qualifications, so he simply pretended to be terrible and didn't know the answers to any of the questions, ending the question-and-answer session at the speed of light.
Who knew that in the end, everyone would be recruited into the company...
Gu Yongxin originally thought that a busy man like Yang Ruoqian had long forgotten her little wilfulness during the interview, but who knew that Yang Ruoqian not only remembered it, but also mentioned it to her face! This is going to become her black history!
…
"What's wrong?" Chang Zhiqing didn't take her eyes off Yang Ruoqian for even a second. As soon as he put down his phone, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with the project?"
"There's nothing wrong with the project." Yang Ruoqian shook his head and glanced at Shao Yiqi, "But someone lied to me about military intelligence."
Shao Yiqi, who was watching the show on the side, was shocked. Could this rotten fire even burn him?
When Shao Yiqi heard Yang Ruoqian chatting, he was not actually very panicked - even if there was a problem with a project, it would not have much impact on the group as a whole.
Now the group's business is getting wider and wider, and almost all of its assets are high-quality assets. Even if the largest project suddenly collapses, at most the profit earned will be a little less, and there is absolutely no possibility of shaking the foundation of the group.
This is the benefit of building scale.
Shao Yiqi protested unconvincedly: "How can you blame me for this? What did I do?"
Yang Ruoqian chuckled: "Didn't you say your father wouldn't interfere with our business?"
"Huh?" When he said this, Shao Yiqi's originally confident tone immediately weakened a lot, "What do you mean? Did my dad invest money in the company?"
"No, that's unlikely..."
The atmosphere among the three of them is now relaxed. They are college classmates and have known each other for many years. They are not in the company anymore, so there is no need to put on airs.
"I haven't invested any money." Yang Ruoqian took out his mobile phone and copied the information that Gu Yongxin sent him to Shao Yiqi, "But it seems that he will become a VIP user of a project of our company."
"VIP user? Isn't my dad not interested in entertainment matters?" Shao Yiqi received the file and browsed through it curiously.
After watching for two minutes, Shao Yiqi was even more surprised: "Huh? Isn't this an advanced version of script-killing? Is my dad interested in this kind of thing?"
"But it looks quite interesting... When did our company launch this business?"
Yang Ruoqian pressed the elevator button and said, "Didn't the counselor ask me to help him find a job? So I took all his people."
Shao Yiqi nodded: "I've heard about this. Then what? Did they come up with this project themselves?"
Although Shao Yiqi did not follow Yang Ruoqian to participate in the "campus recruitment", he had heard about the incident in general.
But like Yang Ruoqian, he didn't think these fellow students could accomplish anything great.
"Yes, they were handing out flyers at Qianda Plaza today, and it just happened to be in your dad's hands." Yang Ruoqian said as he walked into the elevator, "Maybe your dad just got the flyer in his left hand, and turned around and ran into us..."
"Oh, it's not a bad thing!" Shao Yiqi patted Yang Ruoqian's shoulder with a laugh, trying to get away with it, "It's just a one-time purchase, so the impact won't be big! It's not an investment, right?"
In fact, Shao Yiqi himself was very resistant to Gao Yao Group's investment in Kuiguang Group.
He likes the current atmosphere in the company very much, but these things are maintained by Yang Ruoqian and the group of company veterans around him. If external capital intervenes, even if Gao Yao Group intervenes, it is likely to cause a devastating blow to this atmosphere.
This is also the main reason why Shao Yiqi has been too lazy to take over his father's job.
Gaoyao Group is too complex and has too many twists and turns. As soon as you walk in, you'll feel inexplicably irritated.
It is a world of difference from the happy working experience at Kuiguang Group.
But...there is an essential difference between consumption and investment.
No matter how big a client is, he is still just a client and has no right to interfere with the internal operations of the group.
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "I hope so..."
I hope the “Personal Customization” project will fail soon and stop being a profit assassin.
Now the discordant voices within the group have gradually begun to gain the upper hand, and a new project is urgently needed to support the group.
Even the worst students Spark Records have to learn the trend recently, which is really worrying!
Of course... after confirming the aircraft order, Yang Ruoqian's mentality has stabilized a lot - it is certain to lose money this quarter, it's just a matter of how much!
400 million cash flow expenditure!
This is not Tiandi Bank. How could so much money be created within a quarter?
The ordering of the private jet has been almost completed. As long as you sign the contract, pay the money, and complete the remaining procedures, you can officially start using it.
Before using it, Yang Ruoqian needs to make another trip to select a suitable crew team.
The choice of pilots, flight attendants, ground staff, etc...
Also, there are too many things to deal with recently, and I am really too busy to handle it all. Recruiting an assistant also needs to be put on the agenda.
Ding Dong!
Soon, the elevator arrived at the first floor.
"Okay, I'll go to the crew first, you two can go back to the company." Shao Yiqi took out his car keys and unlocked his car door. "The shooting progress of the new movie has been delayed a lot, so we need to speed up the progress."
After all, if a movie is missing its main director, the progress will definitely be slowed down a lot.
Guo Fan is still receiving the most comprehensive treatment in the hospital and it will take at least a week for him to be discharged.
"Well, don't worry too much. As long as we can finish filming and release it this quarter, it will be fine."
…
After returning to the company, Yang Ruoqian habitually opened the company's financial report and began to check various business operations.
"Spark Records' financial report...is stable but improving, but the situation is a little off. What went wrong? I need to find some time to go and do a field investigation on them."
“How come we’re already heading towards profitability even though we haven’t lost much money yet?”
"Didn't we agree to lose money for 10 years first? How long have you been losing money? You haven't even lost money for 10 months!"
"Are you worthy of my earnest expectations? Are you worthy of me bringing you back to life?"
"This is repaying kindness with enmity!"
Although Spark Records didn’t make much money, and the main reason was because of the popular song “Time Boils Rain”…
Just when Yang Ruoqian was feeling distressed over the financial report, an excited voice was heard.
Huang Wei's excited voice came from outside: "Boss Yang! Boss Yang, are you there?"
Speak of the devil, right?
Yang Ruoqian, who just happened to have a lot of questions, closed the terrible financial report and said lightly: "Come in, I have some questions for you too."
Huang Wei pushed the door open and came in, his joy almost spilling out of his face: "Boss Yang, we won! Dragon and Phoenix Legend chose the music we made! Thank you, Boss Yang, thank you for giving us this opportunity!" (End of this chapter)
