Chapter 412: Things are different now
Ouyang Shi's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly after a long time, and he asked in confusion: "You think the risks of what I said are too low?"
In fact, as a bank president, Ouyang Shi is usually the one who avoids being invited to dinner. He seldom invites others to dinner. Even if he does, he would invite his superiors.
But seeing that the Kuiguang Group was able to take a big step forward almost every quarter, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Although the total valuation of Kuiguang Group is only around 10 billion now, once it adds financial attributes, raises funds, packages its business into financial products, and goes public... a rough estimate is that without any debt, its scale can expand to at least 30 billion.
The data compiled by the bank is actually very similar to Yang Ruoqian's own estimate.
But what Ouyang really wanted to think about was, with this theoretical scale of 30 billion, how much money could he borrow from the bank?
Even though Yang Ruoqian was given a very favorable interest rate, his performance was still rising like crazy.
In the current economic environment, where can we find such a high-quality enterprise that has not yet taken out a loan? As long as we can convince Yang Ruoqian to borrow money from their bank, the benefits will be unimaginable.
If they could convince Kuiguang Group to take over some riskier investments, their assets could expand even faster.
But... Yang Ruoqian said that Kuiguang Group felt that what Ouyang Shi said was too low risk? Yang Ruoqian looked at the confused expression on the bank president's face and reminded him: "President Ouyang, think carefully, from the establishment of our group to now, which of the projects we invested in is conservative?"
Ouyang Shi thought about it and suddenly felt that it seemed to be true!
Themes that the domestic film industry has never tried before, extremely expensive variety shows, and stars with strange attributes...
These should all be classified as high-risk investments.
Because no one had ever successfully invested before, there were no successful cases at all, and the market prospects were vague.
Thinking about what I just said, and how I tried my best to persuade this man to make some high-risk investments, an indescribable sense of embarrassment came over me: "Boss Yang, this..."
After being flattered and taught for so long, Yang Ruoqian finally found an opportunity to fight back. He imitated Ouyang Shi's tone and said earnestly, "President Ouyang, the reason why my business is developing so slowly is not because there are too few low-risk and high-return projects, but because there are too few high-risk and low-return projects."
"The motto of our company is just two words: 'creativity'. As long as there is creativity and theoretical possibility of profitability, we will try to invest."
"I actually know what you said. If you make money based on probability, you can make money without losing money unless there is a large-scale black swan event."
Yang Ruoqian paused for a moment, and used Ouyang Shi's words about the slow development of Kuiguang Group to reverse the situation: "But that's too slow."
"What you said was an increase in risk, but in fact it was the use of hedging to reduce risk... For Kuiguang Group, this pace of development is too slow."
"We were able to grow from a little-known small company to our current size in just two years because of our strategy. With our group's capabilities and vision, we don't need to calculate numbers, we only need to think about how to make the product we have in mind."
"There was no relevant market data before, so we will be the first to try it out and create the market data."
"President Ouyang, you are in the financial industry, and I am in the industry. In my logic, real big profits can only be achieved by daring to be the first. If you do what others have done, you can only get a taste of the benefits."
Yang Ruoqian looked at Ouyang Shi's thoughtful expression and said, "President Ouyang doesn't have to stick to my family... Finance needs an entity as its foundation. The better the Kuiguang Group develops, the less financial attributes the Kuiguang Group has, the more it can drive the development of other industries, which can also promote the development of your business in disguise, right?"
Driven by the Kuiguang Group, various industries in Jinhai City have burst into tremendous vitality, and banks are also benefiting from it.
"I understand, Mr. Yang." Ouyang Shi nodded and drank the wine in one gulp. "I was rude today. I'm very sorry. This meal is my apology."
Mr. Yang, who was full and satisfied, nodded without saying anything polite: "Then we'll have a chance to cooperate again in the future."
"Take care, Mr. Yang."
Only after Yang Ruoqian left the room did Ouyang Shi shake his head and continue picking up food from the table.
"President..." the employee who was brought in asked cautiously, "Shouldn't we try again?"
For an enterprise of the size of Kuiguang Group, as long as they can get a little bit, they will get unimaginable performance and commissions. Naturally, they are unwilling to return empty-handed.
Ouyang Shi shook his head: "It's impossible to fight for it."
"Why?"
"You're talking about interests with such an idealistic entrepreneur?" Ouyang Shi smiled. "If the Kuiguang Group was in crisis, reality might prevail over ideals... But now, Yang Ruoqian's net worth is already among the top five in Jinhai City."
"This is still a completely accurate statement... Because it has no financial attributes, Kuiguang Group has strong risk and impact resistance capabilities."
"They have good cooperation channels with the authorities, stable customers and fans, and highly loyal employees."
"With these conditions, Yang Ruoqian will only invest his money where he wants to, rather than where the highest return is. And what chips do we have? Only interests... Forget it, we can't convince such people, so we just need to maintain communication channels in the future. We can't lend him money, but it's okay to attract them to save with us."
After Ouyang Shi finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Now let's think about how we can get the most benefits from Yuefu Group."
"It now seems that their collapse is inevitable..."
Another employee was quite worried: "I just don't know if Yang Ruoqian will take the opportunity to intervene? If Kuiguang Group enters the market, there will be a lot of variables."
"Then wait and see...if it doesn't work, forget it."
“…”
…
The next day, Yang Ruoqian came to the president's office refreshed.
After turning on the computer, he took a look at the various matters he was going to deal with as usual.
"The annual meeting is about to begin... The preliminary list of the company's top 10 employees has been drawn up. Good, this year's exile list is out."
After taking a quick look at the list, Yang Ruoqian opened a set of photos that Qi Mu sent him.
The company's size and number of employees have increased significantly compared to a year ago, and the previous conference venue is obviously no longer sufficient.
This time, under Qi Mu's arrangement, they went directly to another more luxurious and larger hotel and booked two floors.
The various entertainment projects are the same as before, but since 80% of the shops in Qianda Plaza are currently owned by the Kuiguang Group, the cost has actually decreased compared to last year.
"It's okay. These things are cheap, but the bulk of the money is spent on the lottery."
"This time's prize is much better than last time."
"The style is the same as last time. There are no embarrassing performances or pep talks. It's just eating, drinking and having fun."
“All virtual tokens for playing games have been distributed to employees.”
"Miss Secretary is really reliable..."
Moreover, the scope of this annual meeting is not limited to the group’s direct employees.
Including other surrounding industries, such as restaurant managers, and those people in the bad movies of the shelter company... As long as they work under the Kuiguang Group, they are treated equally and can attend the annual meeting.
If you really can’t be there, you can also participate online.
After reading the documents related to this year's annual meeting, Yang Ruoqian naturally switched to the next document.
"Oh? The group's publishing business was completed so quickly?" Yang Ruoqian raised his eyelids, "I can finally feel Cheng Fei's happiness."
The distribution business of Kuiguang Group does not involve its own film and television dramas, but rather intends to explore some more abstract directors and works.
Now that the news has just been released, many producers have contacted the company, saying that they want to discuss cooperation related to publicity and promotion.
However, the distribution business is very large and complicated, and it cannot be finalized in a short period of time. It will have to be done next quarter.
Mr. Yang has always adhered to the style of delaying things as much as possible. Since it is something that needs to be considered in the next quarter, he can just ignore it this quarter.
After flipping through the documents related to issuance, he continued to browse the document that was placed last.
"The preparatory work for "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2" has been completed, and now we are ready to start filming." Yang Ruoqian said to himself, "It's the same lineup as last time."
"I heard that the sequel ruined the IP. I hope that "The Boys 2" can also directly destroy this IP... In this way, my film and overseas IP project arrangements will both be ruined, and the losses for the next quarter will be settled again."
After the news of "The Boys 2" was released, as expected, there was another storm on the Internet.
Today, Shang Qianyu is already a popular first-line star, and her famous work is "The Black Robe Inspection Team".
As soon as the sequel came out, fans of both the movie itself and the various starring characters started to party hard.
When it was learned that the second part would not miss the main actors and all the cast members were exactly the same as the first part, "The Boys 2", which was still in the new folder creation stage, became more popular than most of the movies currently showing in theaters.
Many film review bloggers and content creators have unprecedentedly made related videos for a movie that does not even have a trailer or a movie poster.
This shows the popularity of "The Boys 2".
After browsing the files, Yang Ruoqian turned off the computer and thought that since he had nothing to do today, he might as well go to the set to take a look.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian picked up his phone and called the driver: "Hello, Xiao Li... Yes, go drive the sports car in the garage over here, and call me when you get there. Okay, that's it."
Since he was going to the set of "The Boys 2", how could he not bring his custom-made sports car, which was limited to only one in the world? ...
Movie shooting set.
A year ago, there were a few unknown actors standing here, shooting a movie that was not favored by everyone by an unknown film production company.
Today, the people standing on the set are well-known executives of Kuiguang Group like Shao Yiqi, entrepreneurs like Cheng Fei, and first-line stars like Shang Qianyu! As soon as the news of the upcoming filming of "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2" was released, director An Zhou's phone was directly flooded with calls.
No matter they were familiar or unfamiliar, as long as they had some connection with him and could get his cell phone number, they all called him like crazy.
Although the cast of leading actors remains unchanged, how can a movie consist of only the leading actors?
The investment in the second part is so much greater than the first part, and the screenwriter team is so much stronger. There will definitely be new characters, and more extras will definitely be needed.
The strength of Kuiguang Group's traffic exposure is obvious to all. For an actor, getting an extra with lines, or even a supporting role with a certain amount of screen time, is a once-in-a-lifetime resource!
This will be a great addition to your resume in the future.
For a role, an agent even called An Zhou, wanting to treat him to a meal and give him various benefits...
How deserted the set was before, how bustling it is now.
There were only a dozen spots available, but there were hundreds of people who wanted to audition!
A minor supporting role, even more than one first-line star wanted to get this opportunity! Shang Qianyu, who had just finished filming the variety show not long ago, said to An Zhou, who was also a mentor on the variety show: "Director An, it feels like a lot of things are different now."
"Of course." An Zhou, who has already firmly established his position in the director circle, said calmly, "But I only look at the acting skills, not the status."
After working with Kuiguang Group several times, An Zhou was convinced by Yang Ruoqian. As long as the script came from Kuiguang Group, he was willing to give the right of selection to Kuiguang Group. He believed that Yang Ruoqian had a better vision than him.
But now, Kuiguang Group has kicked the ball back.
Because Yang Ruoqian is no longer obsessed with choosing a flop actor.
An Zhou paused, looked at the enthusiastic Shang Qianyu, and criticized him with some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Shang, don't be distracted. When you audition later, you should also watch the other leading actors to see if the actor's style is suitable for you. This is also an important reference condition."
Shang Qianyu stood up straight immediately and shook his head like a rattle: "Director An, I'm not distracted! Look outside, isn't that our boss' sports car?"
boss……
Cheng Fei was already at the scene, so the word "boss" could only refer to Yang Ruoqian.
An Zhou quickly turned around and looked in the direction Shang Qianyu was pointing.
I saw a cool sports car struggling to find a parking space among the crowds of people.
Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing had just stepped out of the car, and before they could close the door properly, the extras and their agents rushed up impatiently and surrounded them.
