Chapter 125 Finally Finished
Chen Pingsheng and his family attended Han Fei's funeral.
Unlike rural areas, the only way to do it in the city is to cremate the body, and then buy a small tombstone to bury the urn.
Aunt Liu Xiuai fainted, but later recovered and fainted again after presiding over her son's funeral.
Han Fei will not be the first to fall, nor will he be the last, on the road of sharing economy entrepreneurship.
No one knows who will win in the end.
In short, Chen Pingsheng's mood has been relatively heavy these days.
After finishing the work here, everyone started doing what they were supposed to do.
On August 9th, five Tengsheng fresh food supermarkets opened on the same day.
The area is over 500 square meters, and Chen Pingsheng was quite satisfied after seeing it.
The overall plan is clear and neat, and is not affected at all by the addition of vegetables, fish and meat.
The main reason is that he hired a lot of people. When he was just selling fruits, a store only had about twelve people, including the cashier.
Now each store has more than 30 employees.
There is nothing we can do about it. The fresh food store is open from six in the morning to ten in the evening.
It must be divided into morning and evening shifts.
Employees' working hours are still set at eight hours, so there is no need to work overtime or be too tired.
It takes a shorter time to have your own life.
He held several meetings regarding the fresh food supermarket in the few days after its opening.
The main thing is to adjust some details, which is foreseeable because vegetables, fish and meat needed for daily life have been added.
In addition, the prices are much lower than those in the vegetable market and the product categories are complete, so his traffic is bound to increase by several levels.
It was pretty much as he expected, with fruits, vegetables and other fresh produce all together. Although the investment was large, the traffic did indeed increase.
In the supermarket business, vegetables, fish and meat have always been the most popular products.
After all, it is something that must be bought every day, and the frequency of consumption is far beyond the comparison of ordinary categories.
After he finished the tour, he went to Tengying Entertainment.
Everyone said that his Tengying was about to go out of business, but Chen Pingsheng knew that Tengying was about to have good news.
After nearly a year of filming, "Hua Qian Gu" has officially wrapped up.
Chen Pingsheng specially held a grand wrap-up party for the entire crew at the headquarters building of Tengying Entertainment.
Since last year, he knew that this was the most profitable film crew Tencent Film had ever invested in.
It can also make Tencent Film a super hit drama among the top domestic entertainment and film and television companies.
Once it is broadcast, Zhao Liying is very likely to become the new top 85 flower in China.
Officially on par with Yang Mi.
Tengying Entertainment, which has disappeared for more than half a year, is about to usher in its own glory.
At the wrap-up banquet, Chen Pingsheng stood on the stage and said:
"A year is neither long nor short, but fortunately, we have finally finished filming this drama smoothly."
"Many people outside of the company say that Tengying can't survive and may even go bankrupt. Today, on this special day, I am here to officially dispel this rumor."
"Last year, when we were filming this drama, the female lead's salary was set at 12 million. After filming is completed this year, no matter what the final price of Hua Qian Gu is, I will personally reward Zhao Liying with 20 million in cash."
Who said he has no money? He just can't find a good crew to invest in.
Secretary Bai Xin was stunned, not only her, but everyone else was stunned as well.
This hasn't even been sold at a good price, and they're giving out money like this.
Do you have to be so arrogant?
Can the eldest sister carry away 20 million in cash as a reward alone?
Bai Xin thought foolishly whether she should ask her to help pick up some.
Zhao Liying, who had not received any news before, was confused.
I've never heard of this kind of operation in the entertainment industry. They start giving out prizes before the show even sells.
The crucial post-production editing will also take some time, and no one knows what the selling price will be.
There was loud applause, and Zhao Liying, who went on stage to receive the award, was so excited that she almost cried.
Of course, Chen Pingsheng didn't just reward her, the entire company had to be rewarded as well.
"Bai Xin, how many people are there in the company besides you?"
"Report to the boss."
Bai Xin saluted solemnly, her expression serious. "There are seven people in the Legal Department, 21 in the Online Marketing Department, 18 in the Logistics Department, plus the chefs, security guards, and my senior sister's personal team. A total of 106 employees."
"Okay, everyone except you will receive 50,000 yuan."
"What?"
Why do you want to get rid of me? Did I do something wrong?
Bai Xin was embarrassed.
For people who earn over a million yuan a year, 50,000 may not be a lot, but for chefs, security guards, sanitation workers, and ordinary employees.
Fifty thousand is a lot.
Chen Pingsheng was only responsible for the prize money, and let them hold the rest of the celebration on their own.
With him as the boss, people are bound to feel a little restrained.
"Boss, are you leaving now?"
"Why don't you leave and stay to drink with me?"
"No, I just want to ask him why I can still get a 50,000 reward when I'm so idle."
"You silly girl, if you want to ask, go ask alone, don't bring us along."
"Our boss is very generous. It's not something he has achieved overnight."
"Besides, look at the senior sister, she took 20 million by herself. What's ours compared to that?"
"You are envious, why don't you go filming with Senior Sister too."
"I don't have that talent."
There is little work and no competition at Tengying Entertainment, so everyone gets along very happily.
However, I was really worried that the boss would close the company, but I didn’t expect that not only did he not close it, he also gave them a big bonus.
This is truly a blessing from heaven.
Very unexpected.
Top floor.
President's Office.
Zhao Liying didn't stay downstairs. She had been busy filming for the past year and a half and had no time to get together with Chen Pingsheng.
"Brother Chen, Hua Qiangu may not be able to sell for a good price. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to give me 20 million!"
"Nothing inappropriate."
Chen Pingsheng asked her to sit down and relax, then explained:
"Recently, some very bad rumors have surfaced about our Tengying. Although these rumors have no impact on us, they can lower the price of Hua Qiangu."
"Besides, if I give you 20 million now, it will also be included in the investment cost. It will also be a statement to the outside world about our strong confidence in Hua Qiangu."
"After going back and forth, maybe we can sell one more small item."
Zhao Liying was completely surprised. She thought that giving her 20 million was purely a reward.
I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns here.
She doesn't know much about business, but she still understands the benefits of doing this.
"Brother Chen, you are so thoughtful."
"What the hell!"
After Chen Pingsheng sat down, he made himself a cup of tea and said, "There is something I want to tell you."
"Brother Chen, there's no need to be so reserved with our relationship. If you have something to say, just tell me directly."
"Well, this is actually a good thing."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Next, I plan to push Tengying to go public. Before the listing, I want to sign an option contract with you. The contract will stipulate that you can only get the shares after ten years."
"Brother Chen, are you afraid that I will run away?" Zhao Liying's smile was still as heartwarming as ever.
"Things are different now." Chen Pingsheng said sincerely, "You used to be just a small-time actor, but now you're about to become a top star. There must be countless big companies trying to poach you. I'm doing this to make you feel at ease staying in our company."
It can be predicted that there will definitely be many big companies that want to poach Zhao Liying in the future.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen. I'll always remember the day you invested over 10 million and designated me as the leading actress."
Zhao Liying's smile was naive and sincere.
"That was the first time in my life that I played the leading role. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for several days."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "That's also the first time I've invested in a TV series in my life. I'm very happy to meet you."
Zhao Liying extended her hand: "Me too, I'm glad to be your neighbor."
Chen Pingsheng nodded. "In that case, let me talk to you about something realistic. Tengying's initial valuation will be 3 billion. You will be given a 5% option, which will only be redeemed in ten years. Perhaps by that day, Tengying will have become the number one in the industry."
"Of course, bankruptcy is also possible. No matter what, Brother Chen hopes you will get better and better."
"Me too."
Chen Pingsheng still thinks it is a good deal to retain a top star by using equity ten years later.
To be honest, even parents may not be reliable when it comes to huge interests, let alone his initial support.
An unbreakable relationship of interests is the only long-term solution.
Only if she gets better and better in Tengying will she really stay in Tengying wholeheartedly.
Chen Pingsheng chatted with Zhao Liying for a while.
She had just finished filming Hua Qiangu and had no plans to rest.
He is undoubtedly a model worker.
However, for her next script, Chen Pingsheng hopes that she will choose a script related to the character of a foodie.
Next year is a critical year for Feiyangyang. Whether it can go public depends mainly on whether the financing plan next year is carried out smoothly.
In fact, Zhao Liying is quite satisfied with Tengying and even admires it.
She only needs to concentrate on filming here, and Tencent will help her with capital operations.
Once Fei Yang Yang can really go public, she will not just be an actor.
It also became one of the major shareholders of a listed company, which is unimaginable in other companies.
Therefore, she cherishes the opportunity given to her by Tengying.
I also hope to develop it step by step.
When it comes to choosing scripts, Chen Pingsheng thinks she has a unique eye, as the scripts sent to her by others are basically not profitable.
The ones she picked usually had good profits.
This is also considered a blessing.
After Zhao Liying returned to her studio.
Yang Qian had also been here for a while. After Chen Pingsheng called her up, he said, "I want to set up a public relations department specifically responsible for Tengying's external relations and the image of its artists."
The main reason why Yang Qian didn't go to Chang Fu's live broadcast studio was that she felt it was boring.
She doesn't really like the current way of making money through live streaming.
Tencent Film is different. The relationships in all aspects of an entertainment company are actually very complicated.
One must be a person who is very good at interpersonal relationships to be able to handle the public relations department well.
Yang Qian asked: "Isn't it enough that you only have Zhao Liying as an artist?"
"It's definitely not enough."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Hua Qian Gu was independently invested by us, and she suffered several waves of online criticism before. In addition to TV series, I also want to develop in the film direction. The value of an entertainment company that only produces TV series is still a bit low."
“That’s true.”
Yang Qian nodded. "There hasn't been a single mainland entertainment company that only produces TV dramas that has gone public yet. Even if you were the first to do so, I don't think your market capitalization would reach your expectations. Although the film industry is a high-risk and high-investment sector, investors are clearly more interested in that sector."
"Regarding investing in movies, we still have to wait and see for future opportunities."
Chen Pingsheng felt that his golden finger had not been upgraded for a long time. He wondered whether the next upgrade would unlock the movie's return on investment function.
If that were the case, Tengying would really take off.
But for now, the most important thing is to sell Hua Qiangu at a good price.
"You should take charge of the PR department first. Hua Qiangu will definitely have some people from the TV station coming soon. Once the post-production editing is completed, we can set a time for the auction."
The newly established public relations department is also responsible for this most important matter.
Nothing is more important than selling your flower for a good price.
Chen Pingsheng called Bai Xin and Jiang Yile over again.
This time he directly gave Zhao Liying a bonus of 20 million yuan, also wanting to convey a message to the outside world.
After Hua Qiangu completed the filming, it far exceeded expectations and his boss was very satisfied.
Besides, the two dramas Zhao Liying filmed before had very good ratings, and she has a certain appeal in herself.
"Bai Xin, Yang Qian is in charge of the PR department now and is your immediate superior. If I'm not around, try to ask her more about anything you're unsure about. If you keep being so idle, I'll dock your salary."
"Uncle." Bai Xin said with a bitter face, "What did I do wrong? Please remind me, or you can spank me twice."
First they didn’t give her a bonus, and now they’re planning to deduct her salary.
Bai Xin, don't be too nervous.
"That's right. From now on, you should cooperate with Jiang Yile and Yang Qian to promote Hua Qiangu."
Chen Pingsheng stopped trying to scare her. He took out a bunch of keys from his drawer and handed them to her.
"I drove it for you. As my secretary, you're driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm so embarrassed by you."
"Ah?" Bai Xin felt like she was riding a roller coaster.
Did you not give her the bonus before just to give her a car?
Porsche, she loves it.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Okay, An An is on summer vacation now. She really misses you as her tutor. Go see her when you have time."
"Uncle, why don't you take An An over to play with us?"
Chen Pingsheng said helplessly, "She's recently become obsessed with practicing Mantis Boxing. All day long she's either watching mantises fight or imitating their kicks."
"Okay."
Chen Pingsheng urged them to go to work, "Just park your car downstairs. Don't drive that car worth over 100,000 yuan in the future. If others see it, they will think I can't afford to pay your salary."
It would be a matter of face for the secretary to go out. Bai Xin giggled and instantly puffed up her chest.
