"Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"

Watching the conversation between King Liu and Zhu Wusi... no, Cao Cao, who was wearing a flying saucer helmet, on TV, Wei Yang couldn't help but marvel at it.

Although Li Rengang's historical costumes, props and plot are a mess, he is still quite capable to become one of the representative directors in the Hong Kong circle.

He is very good at shooting some climax clips. If you ignore the background and plot, these clips are very impressive when taken alone. So many of Li Rengang's clips have become popular in short videos in later generations.

Liu Tianwang's "Resurrection of the Dragon" is one of them, and the same is true for "The Banquet", "The King's Guards" and "Dragon Blade".

If you don't think too much, Wei Yang has a good impression of this movie.

But Xiao Zhao was not very interested. He nestled in Wei Yang's arms, holding his laptop and playing the newly popular game "Happy Farm".

The two of them were busy with their own things and the atmosphere was warm until Wei Yang received a call.

"Director Zheng is back?...Okay, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhao had already put down the computer and hugged him reluctantly.

"Leaving?"

Wei Yang pinched her chubby face and coaxed her, "Be good, I'll take care of business first, and I'll come find you when I'm done."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

Xiao Zhao let go of Wei Yang and took the initiative to get up and go to the bedroom: "You buy the plane ticket, I'll go pack your luggage."

Wei Yang didn't have much luggage, so Xiao Zhao packed it up quickly. When he came out, in addition to the suitcase, he also took out a bank card and stuffed it into Wei Yang's hand.

"This is?"

Wei Yang was a little puzzled, and Xiao Zhao explained: "Aren't you short of money? This is my card, and the password is my birthday."

"Who told you I was short of money?"

Wei Yang did not hide from Xiao Zhao that he wanted to take over the Blue Whale, but he did not reveal the details. Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at him and snorted.

"You didn't say it, but I heard you calling someone about a loan and your boss. Even a fool would know what's going on."

Wei Yang touched the card in his hand and asked curiously, "How much money is in the card?"

"About 100,000 yuan, all my savings are in there, and I asked my parents for some more. I may not be able to help much, but this is all I can give."

Xiao Zhao also knew that the little money he had might be a drop in the bucket for Wei Yang, but being able to help was better than just standing by and watching.

Wei Yang looked at Xiao Zhao who was counting on his fingers, not knowing what to say: "Are you not afraid that I will lose everything?"

"Then earn it back."

Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly at Wei Yang: "I have confidence in you, and I am still waiting for you to rescue me from the sea of ​​suffering in Huayi."

Wei Yang didn't act pretentiously. He put the card away carefully, hugged Xiao Zhao and gave him a kiss: "Don't worry, I promise this is definitely the wisest investment in your life."

…

After bidding farewell to Xiao Zhao who was reluctant to leave, Wei Yang flew back to Shanghai that afternoon. He first met with Xia Cong, and then took the initiative to visit Mr. Zheng.

After careful calculation, Wei Yang hasn't seen Director Zheng for nearly half a year.

Old Zheng did not lose weight, he was even a little fatter, but his hair was a little gray, and his overall condition was okay. When he saw Wei Yang, he immediately pulled him to a foot massage shop to get his feet massaged.

“Ah~”

Mr. Zheng lay in the massage chair, hummed comfortably, and sipped his hot tea: "The skills of the technicians in this Magic City are better than those in my hometown."

"The one in Beijing is not bad either. I'll invite you to try it next time you have a chance."

"You are not a good boy. Didn't you say you were going to Beijing to film a movie? Aren't you afraid of being photographed by paparazzi?"

"It's a regular massage. Actresses and actresses have all gone there. What should I be afraid of?"

"Yeah, but be careful when you go out. You never know if someone is setting a trap for you."

“…”

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two still had a lot of topics to talk about. Wei Yang also combined his words with the information he had previously learned to make a rough assessment of Director Zheng's current situation.

Mr. Zheng suffered a major setback this time due to the financial crisis, and his vitality was seriously damaged.

And the most important thing is not how much money was lost, but the turmoil within the family, which also affected several key businesses.

So Lao Zheng has been staying in his hometown for some time and has been consciously shrinking his business territory. Except for a few core companies, he plans to abandon or sell all the others.

The blue whale is one of them!

Wei Yang felt lucky that Mr. Zheng was not very willing to sell the property to others.

The main reason is that it is difficult to find a suitable buyer in a short period of time, and the various negotiations are very troublesome.

Mr. Zheng was in a hurry to sort out the various assets and did not want to waste too much time on Blue Whale. At the beginning, he even planned to withdraw the funds and sell other assets that could be sold, and even dissolve the company.

This provided considerable convenience for Wei Yang to take over.

To be honest, if there really is a strong competitor, Wei Yang's chances of winning are not high.

But now there is no external competition, Wei Yang has won over an important ally, Xia Cong, and Director Zheng is eager to solve the problem, so the situation is very good.

…

"Director Zheng, I won't hide it from you. I asked you to come this time because I want to discuss something with you."

"I know."

Director Zheng patted his belly and looked at Wei Yang with interest: "Boss Xia told me that you want to take over Blue Whale?"

"yes."

Wei Yang understood Mr. Zheng's character, so when it came to business, there wasn't too much beating around the bush.

"I have always wanted to start a business. Blue Whale is a good fit in every aspect. It is also a company that I have watched grow. I would think it would be a shame if it were dissolved or handed over to someone else, so I wanted to give it a try."

Director Zheng asked curiously: "You should think about it carefully. This is not a small amount of money, and running a company is not an easy task."

“I know it’s not easy.”

Wei Yang revealed the truth: "I have some savings, and I borrowed some money from other sources. In addition, I used 20% of the shares + the annual salary remained unchanged to stabilize President Xia..."

Blue Whale has limited heavy assets, and the most valuable are its team of employees and the copyrights of the two TV series.

However, in Wei Yang's view, Xia Cong's channels are equally important.

Wei Yang has no shortage of content, but distribution channels are his weakness. Even if he attracts investment to make a drama, it will be ruined if it cannot be sold. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Xia Cong and is even willing to pay 1/5 of the shares.

Xia Cong is doing well at Blue Whale, and he doesn't want to leave if he can stay.

Although Wei Yang does not have as much money as Director Zheng, Xia Cong has a certain understanding of his abilities and potential and still has some expectations for him. In addition, Wei Yang promised him huge profits, so he was willing to take a gamble with Wei Yang.

“You’re very courageous.”

Director Zheng glanced at Wei Yang. He was not surprised by Xia Cong's choice. His annual salary remained the same, and he also got 20% of the shares. It was normal for him to take a gamble.

But Wei Yang actually bet all his assets on it, took on a lot of foreign debt, and took on all the operating pressure.

If the deal failed, Xia Cong would just waste a few years and get some salary, but Wei Yang might have to worry about losing most of his life.

Wei Yang himself actually saw clearly what Mr. Zheng understood.

But if you don't spend a lot of money, you won't be able to win them over. Besides, he will be the one who suffers the most if they lose, and he will also get the most money if they win. Wei Yang is usually steady and reserved, but he is also decisive at the critical moment.

How can a snake swallow an elephant without fighting hard? Besides, Wei Yang knew where his biggest advantage was. In his eyes, the risk of this life-and-death situation, which seemed to be a life-and-death struggle to outsiders, was relatively controllable.

Looking at Lao Zheng's thumbs up, Wei Yang smiled and said, "Young people, sometimes you have to see how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

"Well said."

Director Zheng laughed out loud: "This sentence reflects the style of my youth. A gentleman cannot live a life of cowardice. He must fight when he has to."

After drinking the herbal tea in the cup at hand in one gulp, Director Zheng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

“Speaking of which, the success of Blue Whale is also thanks to you and Lao Xia.

Publicly, I feel relieved to leave this company to you two, and it will also be fair to the employees. Personally, I like you, and we get along well. If you ask to take over, I can't say no."

Wei Yang's face lit up with joy, but just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Director Zheng.

"Logically speaking, as your younger brother, you should help me start my own business. But you know my current situation. I am willing but unable to help. But I can't just not show my support..."

Director Zheng paused and smiled heartily: "I have a use for the money on the books, so I have to take it away, but I don't want the transfer fee. It's my opening gift to you."

"This is too expensive, Mr. Zheng, I..."

"Not as much as you think."

Director Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Most of the revenue from Oranges in Huainan has been paid off. The copyright is useless to me. The rest is nothing more than rent, desks, chairs, computers, etc. I can't sell them for much money, so I might as well give them to you."

It sounded simple for him, but Wei Yang couldn't think that way.

There is still half a year left before the rent of Blue Whale expires. This amount alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the other miscellaneous expenses added up are not a small amount either.

As for the copyrights of those two dramas, they are even more valuable. It is true that the bulk of the short-term profits are gone, but the long-term benefits can be accumulated, and the amount accumulated over a long period of time will be considerable.

Not to mention, the copyrights of these two dramas also carry IP value to a certain extent, and the changes in this implicit value are even more difficult to estimate.

Wei Yang was in a complicated mood. He had contacted Lao Zheng with strong utilitarian motives in mind, and even taking over the Blue Whale, it was hard to say that there was no conspiracy behind his taking over.

I didn't expect that others really treated him as their own. This operation was equivalent to giving him a company for free.

"Director Zheng..."

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't give me those sour words, I can't stand it."

Director Zheng held his big belly with his hands and smiled obscenely: "If you really want to thank me, I will treat you well when I come to Shanghai next time."

Wei Yang smiled when he heard this: "No problem, from now on, just give me a call and I'll give you the best venue and the highest standards."

“This is what a good brother is!”

Director Zheng hugged Wei Yang, his fat face smiling brightly: "Don't call me Director Zheng anymore, it's too formal, just call me Brother Zheng from now on, don't worry, your brother will help you to the end, I know you are short of money, I will introduce you to some friends, they are all rich people."

Wei Yang was so moved that tears were about to come out. This guy didn't look like a coal boss at all, he looked like an angel who had gained several pounds.

Without saying anything else, Wei Yang patted his chest and promised that he would treat everyone to a K-show at the nightclub, and that everyone could order as many drinks and girls as they wanted. If he didn't accompany this old brother well today, he would write his name backwards...
