Chapter 368 How to Thank Me
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Sun."
Shi Hang and Sun Jin have changed a lot.
After only a few months of not seeing each other, the childish student vibe of the two of them has disappeared a lot.
Perhaps they knew Fang Li was coming, so the two of them wore fairly formal casual suits and tidied up their hairstyles. Although they looked a lot more serious, they inexplicably gave people the feeling of children wearing adult clothes.
"I heard Xingyu has been doing pretty well recently?"
Sun Jin smiled shyly, and Shi Hang said happily: "This is all thanks to President Xu and Li Yun. Without your generosity, Xingyu would not be able to reach this point today."
"Really?" Fang Li raised an eyebrow. "Have you two figured out how to thank me?"
"us......."
Fang Li pursed her lips and chuckled, then said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."
Hearing this, the tension on Shi Hang and Sun Jin's faces gradually dissipated.
He glanced at the three of them and said quickly, "Please come in, let's talk inside."
"good."
Xingyu’s place is not very big, and it only rents half a floor in the entrepreneurial park.
The three followed Shi Hang and Sun Jin in. They introduced themselves as they walked in. "Our place isn't as good as the Universal Building. It looks a bit shabby."
Having said that, Fang Li looked at the furnishings of their office area, which was full of retro punk style, and she was quite creative.
"It's quite nice. I can see you put a lot of thought into decorating this place."
Sun Jin smiled sheepishly: "After all, it's just a storefront. The funds are limited but we can't make do with it. So we just resorted to some tricks. It was all done by everyone working together."
"It can be seen that your company's employees are very creative and have good hands-on skills."
Fang Lihe's friendly conversation gradually relaxed the two people's initial awkwardness.
When I entered the company, I saw a large open space divided into scattered areas by desks.
There is a sign in each area, such as Creative Department, Photography Department, Editing Department, etc.
As the company's bosses, Shi Hang and Sun Jin do not have their own independent offices. They just use screens and green plants to separate two relatively private spaces, where they work.
"It looks a bit messy, doesn't it? Firstly, it's because the space is small, and secondly, it's for better communication. You know, the employees in our company are also our classmates. Although we are superiors and subordinates in terms of positions, there are no such restrictions when it comes to getting along with each other."
"I understand. When a group of like-minded people get together and can set out together for a dream, nothing else really matters."
Shi Hang was a little excited: "It's rare that Mr. Xu can understand us. To be honest, many bosses have come to us before to attract investment, and when they saw our environment..."
The excitement in Shi Hang's eyes gradually faded as his tone grew, and Sun Jin also looked a little lonely.
Fang Li and Wen Yang exchanged a glance, and Wen Yang said, "There are many people in this world who judge people by their appearance. You two are lucky to have met a mentor like Mr. Xu."
"Indeed. Just for President Xu giving us the copyright of Divine Emperor Dao for free, Xingyu can never express our gratitude enough no matter how much we do."
"No, you do."
“.......”
The two were stunned for a moment. Wen Yang smiled meaningfully and followed Fang Li into the prepared meeting room.
The conference room was the only independent one in the entire Xingyu Media. Perhaps they anticipated that they would come for something, so the conference room was simply decorated and provided with refreshments and water.
Several people sat down one after another. Shi Hang and Sun Jin sat down opposite each other somewhat uneasily, looking at Fang Li and then at Wen Yang.
"Mr. Wen, what you just meant is..."
Fang Li didn't say anything. Wen Yang smiled and took out the documents from her bag.
She pushed the document in front of Shi Hang and Sun Jin and said calmly, "Take a look first."
Shi Hang and Sun Jin became increasingly uneasy.
The two looked at each other, then raised their hands to take the document and open it.
There are four big words on the cover - Merger and Acquisition Contract.
Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Wen Yang slowly said, "We know that Xingyu means something different to you. You've always wanted the copyright to Divine Emperor Dao so that Xingyu can have a representative work and gain a foothold in the circle. But..."
Wen Yang's pause caused the two people who had just finished reading the merger and acquisition contract to suddenly look at her.
Wen Yang: "I'm sure you all already understood how fierce the competition in this industry is before you entered it. With Xingyu's current strength, even if you can successfully complete filming Divine Emperor Dao, the subsequent publicity and promotion will be another major challenge for you."
"I heard that although your main cast has been decided, due to funding issues, the entire team is almost entirely made up of newcomers."
The two of them remained silent. Wen Yang smiled faintly, "Using newcomers can indeed minimize the pay, leaving you with more funds for filming, but have you ever thought about how many people would actually watch a drama starring completely new people?"
Judging from their expressions, they had obviously thought about this a long time ago.
Shi Hang said stubbornly, "Indeed, compared to celebrities with huge fan bases and traffic, using amateurs and newcomers would be more risky, but Divine Emperor Dao is a major IP. As long as we can ensure the quality of the drama itself, the fans of the original novel will help us with the subsequent promotion."
Sun Jin also said: "I think word of mouth is more important than traffic."
"Really? You really think so?"
Fang Li, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, looking at the two of them. "Or are you both aware deep down that the initial investment budget is limited, so you can only comfort yourselves this way?"
“…”
"I believe that you two, based on our understanding of each other over the time we've known each other, you know who I am. Li Yun has never been Xingyu's enemy."
Fang Li curled her lips slightly. "I'm sure you two have heard the news. Liyun is no longer the same Liyun as before. The current Liyun is in great need of some capable people to join us. The reason I chose Xingyu among so many startups is not only because of your team's capabilities, but more importantly, you haven't been eroded by capital and still retain a heart that pursues your dreams."
Shi Hang frowned. "That being said, what's the difference between what Mr. Xu is doing now and what those capitalists are doing?"
"capitalist?"
Fang Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Mr. Shi, do you have some misunderstanding about capitalists? I didn't force you, and I didn't make any malicious takeovers. How can I be considered a capitalist?"
Wen Yang beside him also laughed: "How could a real capitalist be interested in a small company like yours that has nothing?"
After hearing this, the two of them froze up and their ears turned red.
Fang Li curled her lips. "I know what you two are thinking. You simply feel that Xingyu is your hard work, and you're afraid of losing control of Xingyu after the merger. I've clearly stated this in the merger contract. After the merger, Xingyu can continue to operate independently. We will only inject capital and not interfere with the production."
"Independent operation?"
