Chapter 189 Shengyi Entertainment - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
Roman came today not just to pick out a dress for Wen Yan, which was just a trivial matter. After all, she spent millions on clothes every month.
Let’s not talk about business right away. After sending the brand’s people away, my aunt prepared the meal.
Finally, she had a hot meal after the whole day. Putting everything else aside, Roman had to have a meal with her.
After dinner, Wen Yan slowly brewed a pot of tea before taking Roman to the study to discuss business.
"Boss, you asked me to buy shares in Shengyi Entertainment before. Later, I gradually contacted various small and medium shareholders. The domestic entertainment industry has not been very prosperous in the past two years. These shareholders have long had their own calculations and exchanged cash flow for shares. Although there were some setbacks in the middle, it was still smooth sailing."
When it comes to address, Roman usually calls her Miss in front of outsiders, and calls her Boss when it comes to serious matters, and Miss when it comes to small matters. Calling her Miss is also a sign of closeness.
Wen Yan has always wanted to give a reasonable reason for the money she has. For example, this time she bought a car for Yu Hua, and spent 20 million yuan at once. This is because her younger brother did not ask much, but family members know their own business. She always had to have a reasonable reason for the money before he came to college.
The dessert shop makes a lot of money, but it's not profitable enough to just sell tens of millions.
And she just happens to know the most profitable projects in the next few years.
Wen Yan poured her a cup of tea and asked, "What is the maximum number of shares we can acquire?"
Since she wants to do it, she must have a say. She may not care, but she must have a say.
"Fortunately, I lived up to my mission and got 52%, becoming the largest shareholder. The second is Dong Youcheng, the eldest son of Shengyi's founder Dong Shaochun, who holds 34%. Speaking of the Dong family, Dong Shaochun is a big shot in terms of ability, not to mention anything else.
He founded Shengyi, and Shengyi was actually doing well under his leadership. But this man, he turned bad when he had money. His original wife accompanied him in conquering the world, and after the company was established, he was already in that big dye vat, with even more temptations, so all kinds of mistresses and illegitimate children emerged.
But Mrs. Dong is not stupid. You can cheat and find other women, but her son's things must not be lost. Even without a man, the benefits should not be lost. Dong Shaochun's business was able to grow, and Mrs. Dong's help was not small. So Dong Youcheng got 10% of the shares. Later, Dong Shaochun passed away at the age of 56.
After a pause, he continued, "Actually, I suspect that Dong Shaochun died at a young age, in part because he had too many women."
Wen Yan was listening seriously at first, but when she said this, she immediately laughed. How mean! It seemed that Sister Man really had a big opinion about Dong Shaochun.
She remembered very clearly that Shengyi grew bigger and bigger, and their president was Dong Youcheng, who brought Shengyi to the peak.
Seeing her lost in thought, Roman continued, "Dong Youcheng graduated from a business school. After Dong Shaochun passed away, his mistresses and illegitimate children were definitely dissatisfied. They felt that they should have a share of the Dong family's things. But Mrs. Dong was not someone to be trifled with, and in the end, there was a lot of fighting.
The Dong family originally held a 51% stake, and gave Dong Youcheng 10%. In fact, the most disgusting thing is that before Dong Shaochun died, he asked a lawyer to make a will, leaving 20% to the youngest son born to his favorite mistress, saying that the child was young and since he gave birth to him, he had to give him a chance to survive. The most ironic thing is that except for this youngest son, no one else was left with a penny.
He left behind a total of five illegitimate children, three boys and two girls, and the remaining 21% was left to his eldest son Dong Youcheng. He probably knew that only his eldest son could continue his hard work. The mothers of those illegitimate children were unwilling to accept it and came to him. Dong Youcheng was also an interesting person. He directly took out three paternity reports.
The remaining Mrs. Dong didn't want to offend those mistresses, so she gave each of them a little money to get rid of them. Dong Shaochun left peacefully, but left a big mess behind. Even if Dong Youcheng had great abilities, he had no way to display his abilities because of the group of people in the company who were dragging his feet. Led by the mother of Dong Shaochun's youngest son, Dong Shaochun had been slowly looking for small shareholders in recent years to take over the shares, but with little success.
Dong Youcheng's cash flow couldn't support such a large move. After investigating, I went to Shanghai and mainly approached the mother of that young master Dong. With a ready-made sum of money and a company that was struggling and had little profit, she agreed without much hesitation. In her eyes, shares in a company that was about to go bankrupt were worth less than cash.
Wen Yan took the share transfer contract and equity certificate handed to her by Roman, and looked at her name on it with great satisfaction. "Mr. Dong Youcheng must have noticed our actions. What's his reaction?"
Thinking of the phone call that day, Roman couldn't help but praise him, "Boss Dong is very interesting. After learning about the shares we hold, he quickly faced reality and called me. From what I heard from Boss Dong, he seemed a little happy. Although he knew we held the majority of the shares, he seemed to feel that as long as the shares were not in the hands of his father's illegitimate son, it was fine.
After our discussion, I told him that you were not willing to be open about it, and he was very understanding and made an appointment with me to discuss the company's development in person."
Wen Yan rubbed the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "I've been busy lately, but I can still spare a day to entertain guests." Thinking about his own time, he said, "This matter should be resolved quickly. There's no need to drag it out. Let's do it on the 17th, next Saturday. I won't be there. I'll meet with him at the teahouse then, and you can just hand it over to Mr. Dong."
Luo Man nodded, and after explaining this, he took out the other share certificates Wen Yan had asked her to acquire. Wen Yan examined them one by one, very satisfied. She had underestimated Luo Man's ability. These were not easy to acquire. They were all future major industrial companies. Internet, game production companies, light industry, and so on. As many as 18 companies, although some accounted for only about 3%, but no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat.
Speaking of this, Roman is still unable to figure out Wen Yan's bottom line. It can be said that her cash flow is not as much as that of many wealthy people in the open, but as a qualified subordinate, she knows very well what to ask and what not to ask.
Suddenly, something came to mind. "You know Gu Gang, a veteran actor who later became a director. I know from my sources that he has a drama in his hands that needs investment. The industry is not very optimistic about it, and the key is that it is not a low-budget film. The filming was stopped halfway through. He mortgaged all his house assets for this film, but there is still a gap of 100 million yuan in investment.
You can approach him. I'm open to investment, but I want the biggest share of the profits. I won't influence his directorial decisions."
Roman looked at her in surprise. She acted on impulse. When did she set her sights on a director who didn't seem very famous to her? But since she said so, and her tone was so certain, it meant that there must be a lot of money to be made. He took out his phone and wrote it down.
The industry was not optimistic about the movie he made this time. Who would have thought that this movie that no one was optimistic about would become the biggest box office miracle in the past 10 years. The movie made nearly 6 billion yuan. Although the theaters had to take a part of it, as an investor, the return rate was also extremely high.
