158 Trap
Zhong Yue’s plan to make a live-action movie was only mentioned to his deskmate at the dinner after the last show. Zhao Jingmei was able to find out that it was indeed well-informed. He said, “That’s right, I do have such a plan, but the script is still being created.”
Zhao Jingmei knew that he attached great importance to scripts. In order to write the scripts of Diwu, relying on the relationship between Chengying, he found four or five professional screenwriters and revised them one after another. Finally, he formed an eight-person screenwriter team to check for the scripts. This is the current finished product.
It takes so much effort and it will naturally take a long time. Maybe it will be difficult to get results within one or two months.
She asked this, but it was just a beginning, and the real focus was not this. She asked, "Zhong Yue, are you interested in investing in Chengying?"
Zhong Yue was very surprised and stared at her face for a while. Seeing that she looked solemn, she didn't look like a joke at all, she became serious and asked, "Is Chengying's situation so bad?"
Some time ago, because he wanted to cooperate with Chengying Media Group to publish, he also paid a little attention. He didn't know if he didn't read it, and he was shocked when he saw it.
Chengying's stock price has fallen to less than one-third of the original level. It is simply too tragic.
This method of decline was too exaggerated. He couldn't help but be curious. After checking it, he realized that it was affected by the stock market plunge last year. He did not trade stocks and did not list on the company. He did not pay much attention to the stock market. After checking it, he realized how big the impact was.
Two years ago, taking advantage of the rapid development of the film market, Chengying took advantage of its good performance and even caught up with the bull market in the stock market. The stock price has been rising steadily, reaching an unprecedented height, with a market value exceeding 30 billion.
That was also the pinnacle of Zhao Jingmei's life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after, the top director of Chengying's film ran away due to uneven distribution of interests. He lost this powerful tool to make money, and the next few film projects performed poorly.
Since then, the stock price has been falling. When the entire stock market plummeted last year, Chengying's stock price has been leaking thousands of miles away. At the worst, it was only one-quarter of the peak.
It was also after this year that the stock market recovered slightly and the stock price rose a little. In addition, the recent offering of Diwu> has performed strongly, which has driven the stock price to rebound.
Nowadays, Chengying's market value is about 9 billion. Compared with the original market value of 30 billion, it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses.
In his opinion, Zhao Jingmei invited him to invest in the stock because she wanted to pull Yi Entertainment onto Chengying's chariot. In this way, the animated movies produced by Yi Entertainment will definitely be handed over to Chengying for distribution in the future. This is definitely a major and good news for Chengying.
With the success of "Diwu", Yi Entertainment has already set its mark and will inevitably become the target of major distribution companies scrambling to compete for. It is not surprising that Zhao Jingmei is so active.
Zhao Jingmei looked calm and said, "It's not bad. In fact, Chengying has recovered and its stock price has begun to rebound. However, a shareholder was anxious to use money and wanted to sell the shares he had, and he thought of you."
This explanation is reasonable.
Zhong Yue thought about it for a moment, but still declined, "You also know that I invested a huge amount of money in my mobile phone project, and I really don't have any remaining money, so I can only say it's a pity."
Zhao Jingmei had a little disappointed face, "That's a pity."
…………
Zhong Yue is not uninterested in the Cheng Film Media Group. In the film industry, the most important one is undoubtedly the distribution company. Just like when it comes to Hollywood, the most famous ones are the six major film companies. These six majors can control the largest market share and stand firm for decades. With the help of it, they almost monopolized the distribution of the entire Hollywood.
Back then, the DreamWorks, composed of three giants, Spielberg, Carsonberg and David Geffen, wanted to challenge the six major film companies, but was still attacked by the six major companies. They had to give up their ambitions and become a pure production company.
The release of movies is so important that if Zhong Yue wants to become a giant in the film industry, he cannot give up the distribution.
And he has more than 400 million or 500 million.
The reason why he gave up this opportunity is because in his opinion, Chengying's market value is too high, and he can only acquire about 5% of the shares at most. How much does such a small amount of equity have to say?
With this spare money, he might as well wait to invest in the TV group. Although Chengying's market value once hit 30 billion, in terms of influence, he could not match the TV group that owns TV stations, provincial newspapers, online media, etc.
After the celebration banquet, Zhong Yue rushed to Yizhi Company, and the countdown to go public on his mobile phone. Now, whenever he has time, he will take charge of Yizhi Company.
When he went to Yizhi, Xu Ruoyun happened to be there, so he went to her office to sit. Since the Chinese New Year, she has been traveling around the country with people, and she has also worked hard to establish a complete sales channel.
It is said that because she focused her main energy on Yizhi's side, the directors of Xu's Investment were very dissatisfied with her.
Zhong Yue chatted with her for a while and talked about Zhao Jingmei's invitation to him to invest.
"You didn't agree, did you?" Xu Ruoyun frowned and asked when she heard this.
Seeing her reaction, Zhong Yue felt a stern and said, "No, I refuse."
"That's good. Chengying must not trek in this muddy water." Xu Ruoyun reminded.
Zhong Yue couldn't help asking, "Is Chengying's situation bad?"
"It's worse than you think."
Xu Ruoyun explained to him, "At the beginning, Zhao Jingmei was eager to go public, and attracted many investors to the company. With this money, she went everywhere to acquire other companies and packaged Chengying into a huge media group. And she also succeeded. Once listed, all shareholders received huge returns."
"Zhao Jingmei is indeed quite capable and lucky. She met a talented director. It was with the director's works that she repeatedly won high box offices, which made Chengying's stock price rise steadily and her market value once increased by 30 billion."
Speaking of this, Xu Ruoyun looked admiring, obviously admiring Zhao Jingmei's methods.
"If Zhao Jingmei could escape at that time, it would undoubtedly be a classic case of capital operation. Unfortunately, she was blinded by her huge success and her ambitions were expanding, and she wanted to build Chengying into a giant in the film industry. The result would be like this."
"Don't look at Chengying's market value still maintaining at 9 billion, you think it is really worth so much money. When Chengying's stock price plummeted last year, Zhao Jingmei persuaded the board of directors to use the company's funds to repurchase a large amount of stocks to maintain it at this price."
"Now, the stock price has finally begun to rebound, and some shareholders of Chengying will definitely not miss this opportunity and try every means to get out. At this time, Zhao Jingmei will pull you into the stock market. The most fundamental reason is that they are afraid that shareholders will sell their stocks and will have an impact on the stock price that has finally stabilized."
After listening to her analysis, Zhong Yue couldn't help but sigh that the mall is really turbulent and there are traps everywhere. Fortunately, he has always been cautious and knows that he is not good at this, so he simply doesn't play with others, but plays his own.
Therefore, every company he founded not only has the vast majority of equity, but also has to firmly grasp the operating rights. In this way, the company can be firmly controlled by itself.
It’s not that he knows that adding more powerful partners can make the company develop faster. It’s not that he knows that lending to banks can improve the expansion of his career.
But he didn't do this, the reason was very simple. He knew that he couldn't play this. In terms of capital operations, conspiracies and tricks, Xu Ruoyun and Zhao Jingmei were both far behind him, and even Jiangling was much better than him.
Since you know your weaknesses, you naturally have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. He doesn't give anyone a chance at all. I won't let you invest in it. Do you want to dilute my shares? You don't even have a door. I don't have a loan, do you want to cut off my capital chain? Don't even think about it.
This method is very inefficient, and this behavior of eating alone can easily arouse public anger. However, Zhong Yue is not afraid, and he has full confidence, whether it is light or dark.
Just like this time, Zhao Jingmei wanted to use her share in Chengying to seduce him. But he was not moved, and no matter how many tricks she had, she could not perform.
With Zhong Yue's approach, either start a new business, establish a distribution company by himself, and then poach people from Chengying. Or wait until Chengying is about to go bankrupt, and then acquire it with full capital.
Zhao Jingmei was not surprised at all when he planned to him like this, nor was he angry.
The change in Zhao Jingmei's attitude towards him was because of interests. The help he helped him was also because of interests. Now he is calculating him like this, but also because of interests.
Zhong Yue has a clear understanding of her.
After talking about Zhao Jingmei, the two began to discuss various matters about the launch of mobile phones.
Zhong Yue plans to launch three models of mobile phones, high-end mobile phones priced at 3,500 yuan, mid-range mobile phones priced at 1,900 yuan, and low-end mobile phones priced at 8,800 yuan.
The main recommendation in the advertisement is the mid-range mobile phone, with the selling points of power saving and high cost performance.
The mobile phone launch period will be next Monday, with only a few days left. At that time, a large press conference will be held, and the media and dealers from all over the country will be invited to come.
In order to launch the mobile phone, Zhong Yue and Xu Ruoyun have used all the resources they can use. He advertises in the "Diwu" animation and "Ice Sculpture Lord", advertises in the Yi-managed app store, and even advertises in all the games produced by Yi-Changyou.
In addition, he personally took action to create a series of news and scandals and gained fame for his mobile phone. It can be said that he has done everything he can do.
Now, just wait for the day when the mobile phone is launched.
