Chapter 216
How should Jiang Meishu respond to this question?
She hummed and said to Xiao Qiang, "Boss Xiao, you might not know that Ka Fai also played a significant role in the success of the film 'Selling Body Contract'. I've always said that if any one of these five parties is missing, the film company won't be successful."
Besides, without Qiao Jiahui, Jiang Meishu would never have established this film company, and it would be even more impossible for her to let Xiao Qiang participate.
Ultimately, Qiao Jiahui is the key to her balance.
Xiao Qiang saw that Qiao Jiahui was not kicked out, but he did not get angry. "Since Miss Jiang said so, then I will listen to you."
Jiang Meishu sighed inwardly. This was the advantage and disadvantage of having a big Buddha inside a company when it was established.
However, since he wanted to take advantage of Xiao Qiang's influence in the film industry, he had to endure this little hardship. After all, nothing in this world is perfect.
"Since everyone agrees on this," Jiang Meishu continued, "let's discuss the distribution of equity."
"We will divide the equity proportions according to the investment of each party."
Xiao Qiang immediately sat up straighter. "Xiao Films can pay a little more, and we can also provide all the film industry's connections, locations, and even actors."
At this point, no one present had more resources than him.
Jiang Meishu smiled, and continued smiling, "I know Boss Xiao has a large family and a large business, but we are a small company, and the shares are distributed according to the number of people."
"I'll go first."
"Film and television companies have high registration capital requirements, so there must be a lot of registered capital."
"Our company's registered capital is 10 million."
She also got the dividends from the movie "Selling Body Contract", otherwise Jiang Meishu would not dare to speak so loudly.
“The five parties can occupy the proportion according to their respective funds and capabilities.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jinshan said, "I can't afford two million. All the funds I have on hand total one million three hundred thousand, and I'll put it all up. In addition, I'll also put up one person to see how much of the shares I can get."
Jiang Meishu hummed, took out a notebook and wrote it down, "The investment ratio will be calculated at the end."
"Jiahui, what about you guys?"
Qiao Jiahui looked back at his three sisters and saw that they all nodded. Then he said, "We will also contribute two million."
"Add to that my own person, and the connections of my three sisters."
The stakes are high.
Jiang Meishu nodded and went to see Li Wenjuan. Li Wenjuan knew that she was able to participate this time because of her good luck. Xu Conggang, the unlucky one, had kidnapped the wrong person.
If Xu Conggang hadn't kidnapped the wrong person, how could he have found her for investment in a film and television company?
After all, this is a business that is sure to make money.
After figuring it out here.
Li Wenjuan smiled and said, "I will invest one million, and you can decide how much shares to give."
It's enough for her to participate, as for how much shares she gets, it depends on luck.
She didn't want to get the lion's share.
Jiang Meishu looked at her, then lowered her head and included Li Wenjuan's investment money in the calculation.
Finally, he looked at Xiao Qiang, "Boss Xiao?"
"Can I contribute the remaining money?"
Xiao Qiang spoke with great wealth and power.
Jiang Meishu smiled, "What if it's not possible? The limit for each person is two million. I will invest the maximum amount of two million, and the remaining vacancies will be filled by the remaining people."
Xiao Qiang, "..."
Xiao Qiang stared at Jiang Meishu for a long time. Liang Qiurun took a step forward and blocked most of the pressure for Jiang Meishu.
He then loosened his cufflinks and said in a crisp tone, "If Boss Xiao doesn't like the investment in this small company, he can always find another job."
That's really rude.
Xiao Qiangqiang smiled, "How could that be? I'm very satisfied with this investment."
"Oh, right, there's still a gap of 1.7 million." He looked up at Qiao Jiahui and said, "Jiahui, I'm your uncle by seniority. You won't compete with me for it, will you?"
Qiao Jiahui was surprised. "Uncle Xiao, you are my elder. As an elder, you are competing with the younger generation for investment. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Their eyes met.
Fire flew everywhere.
Finally, in front of Qiao Jiahui's clear black and white eyes, Xiao Qiang was the first to surrender. "For the remaining 1.7 million, I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%. After all, Xiao's Film Company is indispensable after the company is established. We'll provide security and pull strings."
Qiao Jiahui smiled and called him Uncle Xiao. "We in the Qiao family can do what you said. I can run errands, my eldest sister can make connections, my second sister can find resources, and my third sister can handle legal affairs. Look, Uncle Xiao, none of the four people in our Qiao family are superfluous."
Then, in front of Xiao Qiang, Qiao Jiahui continued, "I'll get six and you'll get four. After all, even if we go by first come first served, I still have more seniority than you."
These words were so bold that Xiao Qiang's face almost turned distorted with anger.
Finally, he forced himself to act like an elder, biting his back teeth and saying, "Fifty-five, this is my limit."
When Qiao Jiahui heard this, he immediately agreed, "Deal."
His bottom line is also 50-50.
So, he agreed very readily, which made Xiao Qiang regret whether he had lowered his bottom line too early. However, since he had already said it, it was not easy to go back on his word.
Jiang Meishu saw something and decisively moved on to the next topic, "Now that the investment amount has been confirmed, let's confirm the ratio."
"Normally, each of the five of us holds 20 percent, but Chen Jinshan and Li Wenjuan each gave up some of their interests."
"So far, Li Wenjuan holds 10% of the shares, and Chen Jinshan has transferred 7%. However, he also provides scripts, produces films, and takes on the responsibilities of director. So my proposal is to include this 7% as his personal cost value in the equity. Do you agree?"
Xiao Qiang was naturally unwilling to agree. After all, he and Qiao Jiahui absorbed 7% of Chen Jinshan's investment. Logically, the money should be theirs.
But Qiao Jiahui, this fool, couldn't resist and immediately agreed, "I agree."
"I disagree."
Xiao Qiang immediately voted against it, "The money for Chen Jinshan's investment was provided by Qiao Jiahui and me."
"I think since we put in the money, we should get some equity."
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment, "Chen Jinshan is the director, and that can't be changed. How about this, we each take half, he gets 3%, and the remaining 4% is split equally between the two of you?"
Now, Xiao Qiang no longer objected.
So is Qiao Jiahui.
Chen Jinshan, the person involved, said, "I have no objection."
"Then it will be passed unanimously."
"Chen Jinshan holds 16% of the shares. He will transfer 4% to Qiao Jiahui and Boss Xiao."
"Adding the 10% stake that Li Wenjuan gave up, the two of you will have an additional 14%. That means Mr. Xiao will get 27% of the shares. The same goes for Jiahui."
"Do you have any significance for the current equity investment and proportion?"
Everyone said no.
Jiang Meishu took out a contract that she had prepared in advance, filled in some specific numbers, and handed it over. "Then everyone, please sign it."
"Forget about discussing the name of the film company?"
Xiao Qiang suddenly asked.
Jiang Meishu said, "We'll stick with the name that Director Chen Jinshan used before."
"What's your name?"
"Jinshan Pictures."
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he thought that the name was really unfashionable. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Meishu asked, "Maybe Mr. Xiao has a better name, you can also propose it."
Of course, she disagreed. In her previous life, two thousand years later, the largest film company in Hong Kong was Kingsoft Pictures.
That is Jinshan under the name of Chen Jinshan.
In this life, Jiang Meishu used the name Kingsoft Pictures again because she hoped that Kingsoft Pictures could develop into the dominant position of Hong Kong film industry as it did in the previous life.
And it is the only one in the market.
Facing Jiang Meishu's question, Xiao Qiang remained silent. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Let's call it Jinshan Pictures."
He actually wanted to call it Xiao Films, but unfortunately no one agreed.
Xiao Qiang does have some self-awareness.
Jiang Meishu said, "Then let's decide on the name. Let's sign the contract."
She urged him to sign.
Everyone signed their names one by one.
Jiang Meishu suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, if Chen Jinshan is able to redeem the shares from everyone later on, he has the priority redemption right."
"Of course, this is premised on the consent of the parties involved."
Xiao Qiang paused as he spoke, "You're not forcing me to buy or sell, are you?"
He has a lot of shares, and he always feels that Jiang Meishu's words are directed at him.
Jiang Meishu said, "As for redeeming the equity, the prerequisite is that both parties agree."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang finally felt relieved. "Well, I won't sell my shares."
He was optimistic about this company and put aside his old reputation to join a small company of young people. Why? Simply because he was optimistic about the future.
He said this to give Chen Jinshan a shot of prevention.
Chen Jinshan smiled, "I won't take your shares."
Xiao Qiang always felt that his smile was dirty, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he could only suppress it. "What's the company's next script?"
The previous script was sold at the box office, but Xiao Qiang didn't get a penny, which made him feel very bad.
"It's not certain yet. I'll let everyone know once the script is finalized," Chen Jinshan said. "I won't be the only one who has control over the script."
“We will take everyone’s opinions into consideration.”
Xiao Qiang nodded and said goodbye. He did not forget to ask Jiang Meishu if there was anything else. After Jiang Meishu said no, he left.
Just as they were outside, the impatient Xu Conggang said, "Boss, I don't have any of these shares."
He still owns 5% of Xiao's Film.
Xiao Qiang glanced at him and said, "They don't like you and won't give you shares. What can I do?"
"From now on, you'll just be my assistant. If this company can really make money for me, will I still treat you unfairly in the future?"
Xu Conggang cursed in his heart, but could only smile, "Boss is right."
You're flattering me.
Stingy guy.
Rubbish.
Not a human being.
Xu Conggang cursed almost all the swear words he knew.
inside the house.
After Xiao Qiang and Xu Conggang left, the remaining people were all their own people. While everyone was there, Chen Jinshan said, "I'm going to divide the profits from this indenture movie."
After hearing this, Li Wenjuan, who had originally planned to leave, felt reluctant to leave. After all, the popularity of selling indentures was well known, and she also wanted to know how much money she could get from it.
In this way, she can also estimate when she can get her money back from the 10% stake.
Seeing everyone looking over.
Chen Jinshan didn't hide it and went straight to the point, "The box office of Selling Body Contract was 21 million. The initial filming cost a little over 1 million, and the advertising cost 130,000 in total. In addition, the box office was split with the major cinemas, with the cinemas taking 30%, and then adding in taxes and so on-"
What he said gave Jiang Meishu a headache. "Director Chen, just tell me the total profit, and then we'll share it with Jiahui, you, and me."
When I break it down further, I always feel a headache from doing the math.
She had spent the whole morning calculating the accounts.
"After deducting all costs, the cinema's share and taxes, the net profit is about 13 million."
"Among them, Jiang Meizi and Jiahui each hold 45% of the shares, and each receives 5.85 million in profits."
"I have to get 1.3 million."
His stake is only 10 percent.
Compared with Jiang Meishu and others, it is indeed not much, but you have to know that before this movie, Chen Jinshan was a box office poison. He couldn't even eat and had no place to live.
Because of the huge success of this movie, he changed his previous reputation as a box office poison and was able to save some money. To be honest, Chen Jinshan was quite satisfied.
After listening to this, Jiang Meishu did some calculations and found that it was indeed similar to what Chen Jinshan said.
Qiao Jiahui was a little surprised, "I got rich?"
He turned around to look at Liang Qiurun and said, "Brother Qiurun, investing in movies is more profitable than running a bicycle factory."
Their Hongtai is so big, but its annual net profit is less than five million.
This movie has only been made for a few months, and it has already earned millions. The key point is that the cost is much lower than that of a bicycle factory.
Liang Qiurun lowered his head and said nothing. He was also calculating the accounts inside.
"That's basically the situation," Chen Jinshan said. "The cinema will pay you in April, and I'll split the profits with you after that."
"When the time comes, Jiang Meizi and Jiahui, each of you will give me a bank account."
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Just transfer the money to my HSBC account. It will be just right for me to pay off my mortgage."
Naturally, Chen Jinshan agreed.
When it was Qiao Jiahui's turn, he was much more straightforward. "This part of the money, including the money invested in the film industry, is a total of 2.8 million."
He turned around and looked at his three sisters. "Sisters, you don't have to pay for the film company's investment. I'll pay it directly from the last box office dividend."
After all, his three sisters all contributed to the success of the movie "Selling Body Contract".
Second Sister Qiao never thought in her life that she could benefit from this little brother. She was a little surprised, "He has made it big."
Although the other two sisters didn't say anything, their expressions were similar.
"My Jiahui has finally made it big."
Sister Qiao said bluntly, "When I get back, I'll definitely tell my dad and let him know that our Jiahui is not just a man who knows how to eat, drink and have fun."
Qiao Jiahui didn't care, "I have nothing to do with him."
"Nonsense."
Jiang Meishu didn't listen to the Qiao family's family affairs. When she went out, she saw Chen Qing waiting outside. She thought for a moment and took out three thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to him, "Teacher Chen, this is your bonus."
Chen Qing subconsciously wanted to refuse, "Comrade Jiang, Second Sister Qiao has paid me."
His salary was not bad, 600 a month, much higher than what he earned in Guangzhou. The money he earned from working here was enough to pay for his mother's medicine and even a nanny.
Many times, as a son, it is embarrassing to wash the body of his paralyzed mother.
Jiang Meishu, "Let's put it this way."
She stuffed the red envelope into Chen Qing's arms and said, "This is your hard work pay during this period."
Chen Qing held the money and looked at Jiang Meishu's back. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
After everyone left, Liang Qiurun and He Ping followed Jiang Meishu. "I thought you would wait until the box office revenue came in before giving Chen Qing a red envelope."
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "Lao Liang, didn't you teach me that when giving red envelopes to people around you, it's better to give them in advance than to postpone it."
"We've been busy lately, and Chen Qing is busy too. I should give him this hard work fee."
She made millions at the box office, and if she was unwilling to give these few thousand dollars, Jiang Meishu felt that she was really a cruel person.
Liang Qiurun looked at her with a soft gaze, "My Jiang Jiang is really amazing."
He Ping followed behind and said sarcastically, "That's right, she's become the female god of wealth. Political Commissar, you're so lucky."
Married a wife who is so good at making money.
Liang Qiurun glanced at her calmly, and He Ping immediately closed her mouth. "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Because of the dividend distribution, Jiang Meishu only stayed in Guangzhou for twenty days. At the beginning of April, she came to Hong Kong again from Guangzhou.
Because it was the agreed dividend distribution date, Liang Qiurun was busy with Hongtai's affairs and could not come with her this time, but he asked He Ping to come with her.
For this reason, Liang Qiurun talked to He Ping before leaving. Jiang Meishu had no idea what they talked about.
She only knew that He Ping, who came with her again, had become much more quiet with her words.
At least it's not as poisonous as before.
On April 3rd, the day when the cinema received its payment, Chen Jinshan went to the bank early in the morning to wait. Jiang Meishu, Qiao Jiahui, and He Ping also went with him.
He Ping followed Jiang Meishu closely.
It wasn't until the bank transferred 55.85 million in box office dividends into Jiang Meishu's account that she felt at ease.
She really became rich overnight.
Unfortunately, before the money had even stayed in her account for a minute, two million yuan was withdrawn from it on the spot and transferred to the corporate account of Kingsoft Pictures.
At this point, the total amount of money in Kingsoft Pictures' accounts reached 10 million.
Jiang Meishu was unfamiliar with the company registration process, so she handed it over to Qiao Jiahui's third sister, Qiao Qingzhu. Thanks to their acquaintances and connections, and with all the necessary documentation, Jinshan Pictures had all the necessary company documentation in place within three days.
The next step was site selection. Jiang Meishu was really not good at this, so she simply handed it all over.
It is best to leave professional matters to professionals.
As for her, she only borrowed the names of Liang Rui and Jiangnan Fang when it came to advertising planning. At other times, she was as quiet as a chicken.
After all, different professions are like different worlds.
After the registration of Kingsoft Pictures was completed, Chen Jinshan began to look for scripts. He was an expert in this area, and Jiang Meishu did not interfere much. Whenever Xiao Qiang wanted to intervene as a person with experience, he would be interrupted by Jiang Meishu.
"Boss Xiao, we still trust Director Chen when it comes to the script. After all, he's someone who can break box office records."
These two sentences completely blocked Xiao Qiang's words.
There was no choice but to give the decision-making power of Kingsoft Pictures to Chen Jinshan.
It’s just that good scripts are hard to come by, and the same goes for Chen Jinshan. Jiang Meishu didn’t rush him and let him look for one slowly.
Jiang Meishu calculated the money in her account for a while, and took advantage of the fact that Xiangjing Building was being cleared out to buy eleven more houses.
I also paid off all the mortgage debts I owed.
At this point, she still had more than 2.2 million in her account, and she didn't know what to do, so she simply left it there to earn interest.
She didn't stay in Hong Kong for long. Jinshan Pictures was handed over to Chen Jinshan for leadership, while Li Wenjuan took over Meixin Decoration and hired a receptionist.
She could then free her hands and run back and forth like Jiang Meishu.
As for Jiang Meilan, she just bought a house and invested in a company and didn't care about anything else. She just went back to set up her stall and completely let go of Hong Kong.
Jiang Meishu watched for a while and found that Meixin was also on the right track. She only needed to come over to negotiate orders, and most of the time the workers below were self-sufficient.
She returned to Yangcheng with peace of mind and originally planned to rest, but she never expected.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew into Guangzhou, and by July 1979, the whole city became bustling.
Following closely behind is the neighboring city of Pengcheng. Because it is surrounded by a circle, the entire city is filled with the atmosphere of construction.
When Jiang Meishu heard the news, she couldn't rest at home any longer. She discussed with Liang Qiurun, "Lao Liang, take some time off from get off work and let's drive to Pengcheng for a walk."
Liang Qiurun and she had been married for many years, so he naturally understood what she meant.
"You mean you want to go to Pengcheng to seek development?"
Jiang Meishu hummed, "The news of reform and opening up is everywhere. It's not just Guangzhou that's bustling with activity. I heard that Shenzhen is putting even more effort into it. I want to go and see if there's anything we can do there."
"Or more accurately, something you did."
Liang Qiurun's eyes flashed, "How do you know me?"
Jiang Meishu took his hand and shook it, "How come I don't know you? Ever since we earned that movie dividend in Hong Kong last time, Lao Liang, your heart has been stirring, right?"
Hongtai is good, but now Hongtai’s reputation has spread and orders are coming in continuously.
Compared with the initial pioneering period, Hongtai is now completely on the right track, which poses no challenge to Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun was surprised at how well Jiang Meishu knew him. "I did plan to go over and take a look."
"See if there are any new opportunities."
"Do you have a suggestion?"
