Beiying only officially started school on February 28, and there is still a week to go.

Chen Minhao should take a vacation for himself when he stays at home.

However, he was not completely idle, he used this free time to watch a few classic movies recommended by the teacher of Beiying.

On Douban, he wrote a film review of thousands of words on every movie with a trumpet.

And he's still thinking about the future of his studio.

He roughly planned the department, reward and punishment system of the studio.

Chen Minhao had never opened a company in his previous life, but the experience of interning in a law firm allowed him, who had never eaten pork, to see how pigs run.

After the studio was officially established, Chen Minhao did not plan to participate in the specific management, but he thought that he would formulate some rules and regulations to promote the improvement of the studio's management.

For some principled bottom-line issues, it is necessary to clarify the red line in advance, prevent the slightest problem, and manage it toughly when problems occur.

For some high-line problems, it is necessary to take advantage of the situation.

Whether a studio has enough money is crucial.

When Chen Minhao's contract with Shenmeng ended, the resources that he could have used Shenmeng were completely gone. Although he has Kang Hui, she alone can withstand thousands of troops.

However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there is no money in the account, even if Kang Hui is capable, it is difficult to carry out some work.

Chen Minhao calculated the funds he could use, and the main sources were two parts.

The first part is the 50 million invested by Wu Xiaoshuang's father Wu Hanji, which is the big head.

The second part is the 23 million that Chen Minhao earned before.

These two parts have a total of almost 73 million, and Chen Minhao deposits these money in financial products and financial derivatives with different interest rates and different liquidity according to the ratio of 5:3:2.

The interest rate of the products chosen by Chen Minhao is not high, but it is better to be safe, and there is no risk of P2P explosion.

Chen Minhao was a little relieved when he saw the money, after all, opportunities in this world are always reserved for those who have money in their hands.

Chen Minhao stretched his waist, and when he was about to continue working at the desk, his mobile phone rang, and Chen Minhao glanced at it, it was Zhang Jianzhang, the CEO of Shenmeng.

Chen Minhao pressed the connect button and put on a Bluetooth headset.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Jianzhang's hearty laughter came from the earphones.

"Xiao Chen, let's meet for a meal when you have time, shall we?"

Chen Minhao originally wanted to say, you can find my agent if you have something.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was over, after all, Zhang Jianzhang is his current boss, and he has not been too harsh on himself in the past few years, so I will give him a face and strive to get together and disperse.

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Okay, you can decide the time and place." ”

"Then you're welcome, I know there's a good local restaurant near your house," Zhang Jianzhang said with a smile: "Then the two of us will eat and chat at 6 o'clock tonight." ”

Chen Minhao said briskly: "Okay, please wait and send me the address on WeChat." ”

After Chen Minhao hung up Zhang Jianzhang's phone, he immediately dialed Kang Hui's phone and directly told Kang Hui the news that Zhang Jianzhang was going to invite him to dinner.

However, he didn't invite Kang Hui to go with him, after all, Zhang Jianzhang emphasized 2 times when he called - "two people".

So if Chen Minhao takes Kang back to the past, isn't he just slapping Jianzhang in the face?

At 6 o'clock in the evening, when Chen Minhao arrived at the hotel, he found that the restaurant was not very high-end, but it was not low-end either, and the main signature was Huhai's local cuisine.

The waiter asked, "How many?"

Chen Minhao wore a peaked cap and a black mask and said, "2, but my friend should have an appointment, his surname is Zhang." ”

After checking the records, the waiter said enthusiastically: "Your surname is Chen, right? Your friend has arrived, please come with me." ”

After Chen Minhao arrived at the private room, Zhang Jianzhang said to the waiter: "Thank you for your hard work, take down the extra tableware, thank you." ”

As soon as Chen Minhao sat down, Zhang Jianzhang handed him the menu and asked, "Do you see if there are any dishes to be added?"

Chen Minhao glanced at the bill, Zhang Jianzhang had already ordered six dishes, and he shook his head decisively: "It's enough to have these dishes." ”

After Zhang Jianzhang poured Chen Minhao a cup of tea, the two began to talk about the dynamics in the circle, the trend of the fan economy in the future, and the difference between domestic and foreign stars.

Chen Minhao was surprised to find that Zhang Jianzhang had a very deep understanding of some issues, and he had a better view of the overall situation.

chatting and chatting, the topic talked about the issue of Chen Minhao's brokerage contract.

Zhang Jianzhang sandwiched an oil-fried river shrimp and said, "Xiao Chen, your brokerage contract with Shenmeng will expire in August this year, right?"

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your tolerance and support for me in the past few years. It gives me a lot of freedom to do what I want. To be honest, I think it's hard for other brokerage companies to give this kind of space. ”

"Then do you have to go?" Zhang Jianzhang smiled, looked at Chen Minhao with serious eyes, and said, "Is it possible that you will choose to continue to stay in Shenmeng?"

Chen Minhao got up to help Zhang Jianzhang fill the tea and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. ”

Zhang Jianzhang took a sip and said, "Why are you so sure? You didn't listen to the conditions that the company would give you." ”

Chen Minhao lowered his head and played with the tea lid and said, "I heard that you were in Tianyi at that time. Tianyi should be the premier entertainment company in Xiangjiang. You were already an actor at the time, I believe that the conditions given to you by Tianyi as you are very good, so why did you choose to leave in the first place?"

Zhang Jianzhang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You may not believe it when I say it, I left Tianyi for freedom." ”

Chen Minhao said seriously: "Actually, I believe it, because I really want to be free." ”

"My starting point is much lower than yours, the contract I signed with Tianyi is simply a deed of sale, when I am in Tianyi, they will not only overbearingly interfere with what script I appear in, they will even forcefully interfere with when I fall in love, who I fall in love with, etc. Zhang Jianzhang raised his eyebrows and continued: "Aren't you free in Shenmeng? I have never forced you to do anything in the past two years, right? I believe that no one in the entire company can force you, right?"

Chen Minhao shrugged his shoulders and said firmly, "Neither you, nor the entire Shenmeng Company, have ever restricted my freedom. It's your kindness to me, in other words, it's your favor to me. But to be honest, as an adult, I can't pin my freedom on the favor of one person. ”

Zhang Jianzhang nodded: "People are looking for freedom. I used to be too, but what does it mean to be free?"

Zhang Jianzhang didn't wait for Chen Minhao to open his mouth and continued: "I once signed a deed of sale with Tianyi for 8 years, and after the end of the contract period, Tian Xiang and I came out firmly and decisively, and the two of us created Shenmeng together. So sometimes when I see Kang Hui and you, I think of me and Tian Xiang. ”

Chen Minhao was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Jianzhang say this, and thought: Do I look like the kind of person who eats emotional cards?

Zhang Jianzhang changed his words: "But in the past few years, I feel that the differences between me and Tian Xiang have become bigger and bigger. Tian Xiang's attitude towards artists sometimes reminds me of a management I used to hate the most in Tianyi. ”

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "After the warrior killed the evil dragon, he eventually became an evil dragon. ”

"You're right, you should have guessed by now that Tian Xiang did the trick at the annual meeting, right?" Zhang Jianzhang took a sip of tea and said: "People are born free, but they are always in shackles. Sometimes I wonder if I have disagreements and arguments with my former teammates, is that the freedom I want?"

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "But you are now freer than in Tianyi, at least no one interferes with when I fall in love and who I fall in love with." ”

Zhang Jianzhang nodded and said: "You're right, I'm a little blind, but have you ever considered that Kang Hui may part ways with you one day." ”

Chen Minhao pondered for a moment and thought: Is he using history as a mirror to make me change my attention?

But Chen Minhao firmly believes in his heart that if he and Kang Hui part ways one day, it must be because he no longer pursues the goal of global superstardom.

Zhang Jianzhang saw that Chen Minhao fell silent and didn't speak for a long time, he suddenly said: "You just said that it was a middle-aged man's broken thoughts." So let's get straight to the point. I know that you don't want to continue to sign as an artist in Shenmeng, so you don't consider being my partner. ”

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Jianzhang said succinctly: "I feel that the gap between me and Tian Xiang's concept is getting bigger and bigger, and I feel that I need to change to a new partner." Tian Xiang now has a 25% stake in Shenmeng, and I'll kick him out, you go. ”

Chen Minhao felt that his three views had been refreshed, are you people from Xiangjiang so good at playing?

Chen Minhao asked a little confusedly, "Is he willing to do that?"

Zhang Jianzhang said confidently: "Whether he wants it or not is his idea, and whether he can make me willing is my ability." What about you? Would you like to?"
