Chapter 699 Actions Do Not Represent Feelings
"I am in favor of giving up these 6 points of shares."
After listening to General Manager Feng’s introduction, Zhou Anan was the first to express his support.
As the stock prices of several giant domestic websites fell, the economic crisis originating from North America did not improve, but began to spread around the world and has affected major domestic industries.
The once-hyped Internet bubble has shown signs of bursting.
As the big boss of Mingliu Group, Zhou Anan clearly knows that many big capitals have begun to withdraw from website investments, and many small and medium-sized websites have begun to experience capital chain crises and can only wait for bankruptcy and closure.
Relatively speaking, it was wise for Mingliu Group to maintain sufficient cash flow before, and they developed two online games as cash cows in a timely manner, so they don’t have to worry about capital chain problems.
Using 6 percentage points of shares in a video website with an unknown future to exchange for an investment of 100 million yuan means that this video website, which was expected to invest 500 million yuan, was valued at 1.6 billion yuan before it was even completed, a 3-fold increase.
This is rare and valuable in the context of the gradual bursting of the Internet bubble.
All we can say is that the man in the long gown is really rich.
For Blue Whale Entertainment, having more cash in hand now means more security.
Zhou Anan clearly realized that even if the video website developed for a few more years, it would not be able to form a strong membership scale. It would take at least six or seven years before it could turn profitable.
If the video website has used up its initial funding and needs additional investment, and its valuation hasn't increased much at that time, then Blue Whale Entertainment will make a profit by investing in shares.
All in all, it's not just a matter of 100 million.
"I agree."
"agree."
Soon, this plan was unanimously agreed upon by shareholders, and the board of directors of Blue Whale Entertainment was still very harmonious.
"Third, I want to buy a building for the company as its headquarters while housing prices are still relatively high. The existing three-story office area can no longer meet the needs of the company's departmental work."
After finishing the first two things, Feng Jiming focused on the highlight of this meeting: spending money to buy a building.
With the rapid development of the company, one project after another has been put into production, and the staff of each department has expanded rapidly. Now the three-story office building leased by Blue Whale Entertainment is somewhat crowded.
Rather than renting a few more floors, Feng Jiming would rather own a headquarters building for the company.
That way you can save face.
It just so happened that the previous 50 million investment was not used, and there was an additional 50 million in funds, so the company's existing cash flow was very abundant.
Well, the loan you owe to the bank can be repaid later, or you can even borrow more.
The economic crisis is not obvious now, so you should borrow as much as you can. When the money supply shrinks, it will be very difficult to get a loan.
“Does our company have so much money?”
Zhou Anan, who was just thinking about making the company's cash flow more sufficient, couldn't help but frown when he heard General Manager Feng's proposal.
Buying a building is a sure win given the current trend of rising housing prices.
However, Zhou Anan, who had previously purchased the headquarters building of Mingliu Group, knew that this was not a small amount of money, it was in the billions.
Since Zhou Anan doesn’t manage the company much, he is not very clear about the company’s current cash flow.
Especially at this point of economic crisis, buying a headquarters building seems to be able to increase market value by taking advantage of the rising trend of real estate, but it will also bring considerable pressure to the company.
"As for funds, not counting the 50 million from the transfer of shares, our company still has 260 million in cash. It's a bit difficult to buy a building in full, but there's no problem paying in installments."
Speaking of the cash in the company's account, Feng Jiming has no pressure to buy a headquarters building.
Today, all the film and television projects and variety shows currently in production at the company are progressing steadily, income from overseas copyrights of The Voice of China continues to arrive, and the completed film and television dramas have all been sold at good prices. The company's business as a whole is thriving.
Feng Jiming was confident about getting a bank loan to buy the headquarters building.
At present, we need the support of several shareholders.
"I agree."
Regarding this issue, Yu Xianer, who has a general understanding of the real estate development trend in Hangzhou, was the first to express his support.
"That's fine with me."
Looking at the ambitious General Manager Feng, the exhausted Zhou Anan could only acquiesce to this decision.
Anyway, Blue Whale Entertainment is already in deficit this year, so it is unlikely to use the dividends to invest in real estate appreciation.
Furthermore, it is still profitable to buy a house at this point in time. In two years, the increase in housing prices alone will make you a fortune.
"That's fine with me."
Li Shucheng, who had the least presence in this kind of meeting, felt that all he had to do was raise his hand to agree.
"Okay, the fourth thing..."
Seeing that several shareholders agreed, Feng Jiming suppressed his joy and continued to talk about other things.
The meeting went smoothly, which is also the usual atmosphere of the Blue Whale Entertainment board of directors.
With two wealthy second-generations who are not short of money, plus General Manager Feng who is ambitious in taking care of daily affairs, and Zhou Anan, a major shareholder who only focuses on dividends and investing, there is basically no issue that needs to be disputed.
"An'an, Xiaoxiao's father will come to Hangzhou next month to perform his duties. Do you want to attend the welcoming banquet?"
The meeting had just ended when Yu Xianer stopped her younger brother who was about to leave at the door and asked him a question with a smile.
"Young lady's father? Forget it."
After a moment's pause, Zhou Anan immediately thought of Miss Wang's identity, and then guessed the position of the uncle from the Wang family.
Based on what he knew about Uncle Wang's original position as the head of a first-tier city, he would definitely not be a city government leader when he came to Hangzhou, but would most likely be an important official of the provincial government.
He really wanted to make friends with such high-ranking officials, but it was a bit inappropriate to approach them so proactively.
Moreover, given his relationship with Miss Wang, it would be somewhat awkward for him to attend the welcoming banquet.
They are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and if he goes to meet that big boss Wang, it would be easy to be misunderstood as a father-in-law meeting his son-in-law.
Inappropriate, inappropriate.
In a moment, Zhou Anan thought a lot and rejected Miss Yu’s very tempting proposal.
"All right."
After giving his younger brother an amused look, Yu Xianer didn't try to persuade him further and turned away.
She has a lot of things to do, unlike me who is so lazy.
If she wants to take charge of the entire Yu family business, she must let those old people see her ability and not raise any doubts.
"Boss, the restaurant has been booked. There is a meeting at Mingliu Group at 2 pm."
Seeing the boss coming back, Huang Ying, who was sitting outside the director's office, stood up and reported the boss's itinerary.
"Um."
After enjoying a fingertip massage from the beautiful secretary in the office, Zhou Anan received a phone call and got up and walked out.
In the corner of the underground parking lot, Zhou Anan saw Kang Yuying, who was still wearing sunglasses, which made him couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go. I've booked a restaurant and I'd like you to try some of Hangzhou's specialties."
Nodding to the young female agent next to the other party, Zhou Anan invited the beautiful Hong Kong star to get on her Maserati.
Perhaps it was because the interval between their first meeting was too long, or perhaps the impression of their last chat about life was too deep, the two of them in the car didn’t talk much along the way.
However, Zhou Anan's eyes would occasionally pass over the broad part of the other person's body.
The restaurant booked by the beautiful secretary was a private restaurant that Zhou Anan had been to once before with Miss Song, whom she had met only once. The food was very good and the prices were also very good.
“How was the interview today?”
After sitting down in the private room, Zhou Anan spoke to break the awkward atmosphere, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at the majestic place.
In terms of appearance, Kang Yuying was definitely not the best among the beauties he had met.
But in terms of body shape, apart from the female netizen he met that year and the international film queen with whom he chatted about life for two nights, Kang Yuying is worthy of being ranked among the top three.
In addition, the other party was born in Hong Kong and had a temperament different from that of ordinary beauties. When Zhou Anan saw her for the second time, she couldn't help feeling a little excited.
Of course, throbbing does not mean heartbeat, and action does not represent emotion.
"It went pretty smoothly. I got the second female lead in the sequel to 'Bu Bu'. Thank you."
Speaking of this, Kang Yuying knew that it was definitely because of the efforts of this young rich man that she was able to get the opportunity for the interview today.
Otherwise, the sequel to "Bu Bu" which broke all the ratings this year would definitely be a blockbuster that many artists would be scrambling to get. Kang Yuying, whose career in the mainland has not yet blossomed, did not think she could get the second female lead this time.
There is no doubt that the leading female role will be played by the original cast of "Bu Bu".
"Why thank me? That only shows your ability. By the way, are you adapting here?"
Hearing the gratitude from the beautiful Hong Kong star, Zhou Anan humbly changed the subject.
Earlier, when he entered the meeting room, he specifically asked his beautiful secretary to say hello to the relevant departments.
Otherwise, given that she has no achievements or connections in the mainland, it would be difficult for her to get the second female lead in that popular drama.
Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need to be said openly, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts.
"Not bad. The company has arranged a good arrangement for me."
So far, Kang Yuying is quite satisfied with her current situation.
Just based on her current treatment, it is far inferior to what she received when the company in Hong Kong came to the mainland to shoot.
Among the female artists she has come into contact with during her time in the mainland, regardless of their fame, their basic treatment is quite good. She just enjoys a few more special treatments.
When it comes to treating artists, Blue Whale Entertainment is far better and more humane than any other company she knows.
If her own home was not in Hong Kong, Kang Yuying would have thought of developing in the mainland in the future.
"That's good. Come and try the specialties of Hangzhou."
When the hot dishes came, Zhou Anan warmly invited the other party to try them while they were hot.
With the spice of delicious food, the relationship between the two, who had already chatted about their life records, quickly warmed up.
"What are your plans for the afternoon?"
After eating until he was 80% full, Zhou Anan asked the beautiful Hong Kong star who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, but his eyes still couldn't help but linger on that magnificent place for a moment.
"I don't have any plans for now. I just need to familiarize myself with the new script when I get back."
"I have the original complete set of Bu Bu, would you like to take a look?"
With a smile on her lips, Zhou Anan made a suggestion.
If you want to watch the complete series of "Bu Bu" now, many video websites have it, but the clarity is not very high. The meaning of his words is very obvious.
"OK."
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Kang Yuying nodded and accepted the other party's invitation.
After a rather eventful lunch break, Zhou Anan, who felt a little sore in the waist, got on the Phaeton driven by Xiao Ping and headed for the Mingliu Group.
There, there was an important project that required him to arrange the boards.
