Chapter 1287 The Conscience of Capital
"Um."
"Okay, when?"
Since the other party has taken the initiative to invite her, Zhou Anan will naturally not show her timidity. She should worry about the other party.
After all, having signed the gambling agreement, it is impossible for the Huang brothers to default on their debts without reason.
"They are in Hangzhou now. If we can meet, let's make an appointment tonight."
"So urgent?! Send me the location."
"Okay, I'll text you the address later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan said to Miss Wang apologetically, "I can't take a walk with you later. The Huang brothers are coming to Hangzhou and want to meet me and Feng Da."
"It's okay, just go and do your business."
Wang Xiaoxiao naturally would not complain about her boyfriend's job and nodded very reasonably.
It just so happened that she should go home tonight and talk to her parents to prevent them from making things difficult for her boyfriend tomorrow.
If it makes things difficult for her boyfriend, she will run away from home and not go home to have dinner with them for a month.
"Good evening, distinguished guest."
At nine o'clock in the evening, after sending Miss Wang home, Zhou Anan rushed to the private club of Master Gu. As soon as she entered the door, she saw those charming beauties, one row wearing slit cheongsams, and another row wearing Tang-style women's clothing.
Apart from anything else, the quality of the cheongsam and Tang-style women's clothing worn by the princess of this club is as good as ever, which is breathtaking to look at.
"Mr. Zhou, please follow me."
The beautiful young manager who had been waiting there came over and led the young rich man to the elevator.
"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you."
As soon as he walked into the box, Zhou Anan saw several people sitting on the sofa stood up. One of the two middle-aged men with similar appearance took two steps forward and extended his hand to him.
"Mr. Huang, nice to meet you."
Zhou Anan, who had only briefly glanced at the information and guessed that the other party was the boss Huang Qiulian, used a vague title.
"Huang Qiuhu, nice to meet you."
Another middle-aged man also stepped forward and shook hands, introducing himself.
"Nice to meet you. Brother, long time no see."
After the handshake, Zhou Anan shook hands with Master Gu on the other side, but there were not too many surprises.
After a round of greetings, Zhou Anan, who was sitting next to General Manager Feng, randomly picked two princesses with innocent faces and good figures and started the usual social activities.
From 'Mr. Zhou' to 'Brother Zhou', from 'Mr. Huang' to 'Big Brother Huang' and 'Second Brother Huang', everything is so 'natural'.
"You guys go out first."
After more than half an hour, the atmosphere in the box became tense. Gu Shuchang received a signal from Boss Huang and asked the princesses present to leave first.
"Brother Zhou, the two Brother Huangs asked you out today because they wanted to discuss something with you."
Gu Shuchang, who was in the middle, spoke first and talked about Er Huang's purpose tonight: "Huang's Film will perform the previous gambling agreement as usual, but Brother Huang and his team hope to invest in the next two science fiction films directed by Li Donglai, with a share of no less than 20%. You decide the price."
After hearing what Mr. Gu said, Zhou Anan and General Manager Feng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Such conditions seem unexpectedly good.
Originally, Zhou Anan thought that Huang's Pictures would use threats and exchanges to avoid the gambling agreement worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but she didn't expect that the other party was really willing to pay.
However, the latter condition is a bit elusive.
No one present could predict the violent explosion of China's future film market as clearly as Zhou Anan.
From his point of view, he would naturally be unwilling to give up 20% of the share of two science fiction movies at once.
However, in this circle, it is difficult to go far if you eat alone.
Just like the initial screening schedule of "The Martian", it got the lowest screening volume under the suppression of many peers in the film and television industry.
The current 30% screening volume is all due to the fact that "The Martian" has fought hard to achieve it through word of mouth and box office advantages, and Blue Whale Entertainment has paid a lot behind the scenes.
It is impossible that all future films of Blue Whale Entertainment will fight against the entire industry on their own.
If it could get more than one-third of the screening time at the beginning, the box office of "The Martian" would be at least 100 million higher than it is now.
"Can."
After receiving a glance from General Manager Feng, Zhou Anan agreed to the solution offered by the other party.
Huang's Pictures was able to offer such favorable conditions not because it was forced to sign a humiliating treaty, but because it was motivated by the maximization of its own interests.
Some time ago, Huang's Pictures has applied for listing. The success or failure of "Battle of the Demon City" at the box office is directly related to investors' recognition of Huang's Pictures.
Originally, Zhou Anan guessed that the other party would use some means to raise the box office of "Battle of the Demon City", but she underestimated the other party's overall view and directly chose to invest in the future.
Indeed, although those methods can produce superficial data, they cannot stop people from talking.
What listed companies’ stock prices fear is rumors, which are more tempting than public news.
Capital has never had any conscience.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Feng, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Seeing that the other party agreed readily, Huang Qiulian's eyes flashed with appreciation and raised her glass in gesture.
Let the middleman, Young Master Gu, state the conditions. Firstly, as seniors, it would not be embarrassing if they were rejected. Secondly, it would provide room for bargaining.
What surprised him was that these two younger generations were so magnanimous in their actions. No wonder they had gone through decades of development for the Huang family in such a short period of time.
The young are to be feared, but we have to admit that we are old.
After a brief agreement, the beautiful princesses entered again, and the atmosphere in the box was even more intense than before.
"Second Brother Gu, does your Dongshu Films also have investments?"
Zhou Anan took a few sips of beer and then switched to tea. He put down his cup and spoke to the Second Young Master Gu who had not left.
Normally, a middleman would leave once things were settled, but Young Master Gu was still here, which meant that he was also a party involved.
It is not surprising that Dongshu Pictures, which is obsessed with investing in blockbuster movies, participated in the investment of "Battle of the Demon City". It is estimated that it will lose a lot this time.
"I've had a bad year. In the past two years, I've lost money on every movie I invested in."
Talking about the performance of his film and television company, Gu Shuchang couldn't help but sigh, with a sad face.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which he valued very much in the past two years, barely broke even. The hundreds of millions of dollars invested in it did not even earn the bank's interest.
Last year, Dongshu Pictures joined Huang's Pictures' "Battle of the Demon City", thinking they could reap the rewards, but in the end, they probably lost everything.
Fortunately, this time he helped the Huang brothers to make the connection, and the other party agreed to compensate him for his losses, so he barely got his money back.
On the other hand, the newly established Blue Whale Entertainment has been a hit with everything it produces, including TV series, variety shows, and movies. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to them.
"Second brother is being modest."
Hearing the other party's complaints, Zhou Anan offered no sincere words of comfort and did not continue the topic.
It seems that Miss Wang's father and the Gu family's No. 4 leader of Jiang Province have different ideas. Zhou Anan naturally would not be generous and give the other party the opportunity to make money.
"Brother An, if you have a chance, take me with you."
With a hint of regret in his eyes, Gu Shuchang took the initiative to mention it.
"Of course, of course."
Zhou Anan managed to maintain the superficial harmony quite well.
After entertaining the Huang brothers, it was already 10:30 in the evening. Zhou Anan, who had parted ways with General Manager Feng, got into the car and casually said an address: "Linjiang New Garden."
Tonight, Miss Wang went back to stay with her parents. Zhou Anan, who felt sympathetic towards the two beautiful princesses, naturally thought of Lisa Rong and the broad-minded Sister Yan.
Early Friday morning, Zhou Anan woke up from her comfortable life and received a document. She soon came up with a plan for what to do with Ruan Chenghai.
