Chapter 38 Happiness Comes Quickly
It's true that Lin Ruoyan wants to spend money on Wei Xu, but according to the plot of the original book, or the noisy things of the prodigal system, Wei Xu will definitely look down on her and may even refuse personal gifts or money. Besides, how much can he give away?
She wanted to spend more money reasonably and use money to persuade Boss Dai, who was committed to the right way of doing art, to sell the company. However, considering her eloquence and wisdom and the fact that she was an amateur, it seemed that she was not going to make the right move.
If she really wanted to invest in the film and television industry, she needed to have greater control over it. The success of her land purchase had given her a boost in confidence. Or maybe she could try that...
She then sighed and casually asked, "Do you have any good projects recently?"
"It's a good project, there actually is one. Boss Dai took me to meet it, but the crew is poor and is still looking for investment. The script is really well written..." Wei Xu couldn't help but talk about the wonderful parts of the movie's script.
When Lin Ruoyan heard this, she thought, isn't this the script for Wei Xu's first film that made him stand out in the film industry?
This is definitely not one of those illusive projects that disappear in the blink of an eye. If she can participate in it and invest tens of millions, won't she be able to meet this month's targets?
Although there would be no immediate profit from filming, producing and distributing the film, she died eight months later, leaving this money-making project to her family, which can be considered a merit.
At this moment, Lin Ruoyan actually hasn't really understood her superficial idea of getting involved in the film and television industry. There is a logic behind it that follows the general trend.
She didn't know that private capital had just been allowed to participate in the distribution of domestic films. For a long time to come, real estate capital would make full use of the cultural brand promotion capabilities of the film and television industry to achieve great things.
Under the guise of cultural development, they build cinemas, shopping malls, and large-scale complexes, rapidly driving up prices in an area. This development model is not only popular in Beijing, but also sought after by local governments across China. In the future, she only needs to promote this concept and showcase similar projects she has already started, and she won't have to worry about getting land for free.
Her unintentional act, purely out of personal interest, was already a forward-thinking move.
Lin Ruoyan's only reason for asking so many detailed questions was to spend money wisely this month. She was also just trying to figure out how to invest tens of millions of yuan in this project that was sure to succeed in the future.
After the meal, she was already quite content with coming up with a project. She had agreed to have Wei Xu gather the people involved in the project so they could discuss how to invest. Then she glanced at her watch, realizing how quickly time had flown by. It was already past eight in the evening.
She missed her son again.
Recently, her son still sleeps in her room. If she doesn't go back early to coax him to sleep, he will keep reading and waiting for her. How much will this affect the child's rest and height development?
So she hurriedly paid for the meal, and settled the 1,000 yuan bill for Wei Xu's conversation with her in cash. Then, carrying a small bag worth tens of thousands of yuan, she ran away again as if it was time to get off work.
Wei Xu, left with a handful of cash, sat in a state of daze in his hotel room, reflecting on his mistake. Did he say something wrong to upset Miss Lin? Just a minute ago, they were chatting and laughing, discussing the project and speculating.
Ah! He suddenly understood. He and Miss Lin had been having dinner together, chatting about the film and television projects that interested him. He had been so carried away by his own success that he hadn't bothered to cater to Miss Lin's interests. Perhaps she thought he was too foolish and boring?
No, Miss Lin was clearly interested in that project and had even asked him to go and make an appointment. He was too dull to understand the deeper meaning behind this. He just hoped that Miss Lin would not despise him and would ask him out to chat next time.
The prodigal system, not seeing any one-stop activities, couldn't help but complain: "Host, you're such a shrew. A meal and the cost of chatting can't even come up with 10,000 yuan. You won't even open a bottle of good wine worth thousands of yuan. Isn't that too shabby? You're not worthy of your 800 million yuan worth at all."
"I've already spent 100 million." Lin Ruoyan had a plan for this. She wouldn't spend her money piecemeal on something that might get rejected. So she said confidently, "I've made up my mind. If I'm going to spend it, I'm going to spend it big. Something that Wei Xu can't refuse."
The prodigal system probed: [How much can you spend?]
Lin Ruoyan smiled and said, "It's going to start at at least 10 million. Just wait and see. Not only will I make sure Wei Xu won't refuse my money, I'll also make sure he'll be unable to stop wanting me."
When the prodigal system thought of the resentful look Wei Xu gave Lin Ruoyan when he left, it suddenly felt that maybe the host could really do it. At least the tactic of playing hard to get has begun to show results.
The next day, Lin Ruoyan arrived half an hour late to avoid the morning rush hour commute from her suburban villa to work within the West Second Ring Road. Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the company, she saw Hao Heshan waiting in the open meeting area next to the front desk.
Hao Heshan rented an apartment in a large courtyard in the city, and it took him ten minutes to walk to the Financial Street. Seeing the luxurious decoration of the building, he couldn't help feeling a little timid. He wandered for a while, straightened his wrinkled clothes, went to the public toilet to tidy up his messy hair, and then entered the building.
Otherwise he would have arrived earlier.
He saw the Lin Real Estate Company sign in the office building lobby, occupying an entire floor, and was already convinced of the company's strength. He then took a look at the reception desk on that floor. Needless to say, the lavish decor was a mystery, and he didn't understand the building materials. What he did notice was that the computers assigned to the two front desk staff were the latest brand-name computers.
Well, it's rare for a company's front desk to have a computer. If they do, it's usually a hacked-up compatible PC with a brand-name monitor on the counter, which is pretty impressive. After all, what's a front desk computer supposed to do? Enter daily check-ins, or sign off on correspondence?
I had no idea that the two computers at the two front desks at Lin's Real Estate Group were both so high-spec. Is the company incredibly wealthy, or are the purchasing staff clueless and being tricked into buying a bunch of the most expensive computers?
While he was thinking about it, Lin Ruoyan had already arrived and politely invited him into the company.
Following the beautiful female boss through the spacious office area, Hao Heshan looked around and found that the computers of the employees inside were of higher configuration, especially in the design department. Not only were the computers good, but they also had the largest dual LCD monitors. Each of these monitors cost more than 3,000 yuan, and a set of computers cost at least 20,000 yuan, which was more expensive than the laptops that had just been launched on the market at that time.
Hao Heshan was deeply impressed by such luxurious computer configuration.
Once inside the boss's luxurious office, Hao Heshan immediately expressed his willingness to join the company. However, he would configure the staff and equipment for his department himself, and hoped the boss would provide a budget of 100,000 yuan.
Only 100,000? Lin Ruoyan immediately reacted: "Okay, computers are upgrading quickly, and your department had better keep up with the times. From now on, the monthly equipment purchase fee will be 100,000. You can monitor the expenses and ask me for more money if it's not enough."
Hao Heshan hadn't expected happiness to arrive so quickly. He'd carefully considered the work Boss Lin had mentioned yesterday, the projects he'd been planning to develop, and the prospect of upgrading his computers every six months before flatteringly asking for a 100,000 yuan budget. The beautiful boss had simply given him a monthly budget of 100,000 yuan. If he used it frugally, he could upgrade the company's computers every few months and maintain top-tier configurations.
Boss Lin is generous!
