"Secretary Zhou, does Mr. Wang have time?" Shi Nansheng spent two weeks sorting out the accounts of the new company and took a document to Wang Zifan to report.
Zhou Hailin smiled: "Manager Shi is here, I'll take you in!"
Shi Nansheng couldn't help but marvel again, Secretary Zhou is young, but he is getting sexier and sexier, is it a post exerciser?
Knock knock!
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Wang, Manager Shi is looking for you!"
"Please let her in!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Hailin nodded, turned around and invited, "Miss Shi, please come in!"
Shi Nansheng also came in, handed over the document, and explained: "This is the financial situation of Oriental Records, and we have invested 2.37 million yuan in the current position, and made a profit of more than 930,000 yuan!"
Wang Zifan was slightly surprised: "It's profitable so soon?"
Shi Nansheng nodded with a smile, flipped the documents on the table to the sales catalog, and explained: "The company's sales channels are very perfect, and these two songs have a great impact, the records produced a while ago can't keep up with the speed of orders, and even some distributors will throw down the deposit and return to China first, and then let our company ship according to the address, this is Singapore sales, this is Malaysia sales, and the top and most is Taiwan sales, and I buy more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a week!"
Wang Zifan said with satisfaction: "It seems that our reputation is not bad!"
Shi Nansheng thought about it and felt that it should be attributed to DreamWorks, although the company was established not long ago, it broke the box office record twice in a row in a year, especially "Modern Bodyguard", which was just released and punched Jiahe, which sold well from the local port to the overseas hot seller, the two major film companies can't raise their heads, and their reputation is outside, and these businessmen can naturally be trusted.
After reading the last page, Wang Zifan thought to himself that it is no wonder that small Hong Kong accommodates three overseas record giants, it turns out that releasing records is so profitable, according to this trend, "Shanghi Beach" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" can sell at least five million, which can basically catch up with the income of the first movie, and only collected tens of thousands of yuan at the beginning, but it was cheap Fang Yihua, closed the document, and reminded: "The record company's finances must be independent!"
"Well, I'll pay attention!" Shi Nansheng recorded in the small notebook, and continued: "There is another thing, Singapore TV invited Ye Liyi to come over and sing on stage. ”
"As long as Ye Liyi agrees!" Wang Zifan responded casually, Ye Liyi is the singer who sang "Shanghi Beach", she was a wireless entertainer before, she was not famous, and later sang the theme song of "Shanghi Beach" to make her famous overnight, but unfortunately the copyright of the song is not in wireless, no matter how good she sings, she can't release a record, so although she is popular, her treatment in wireless has not improved much, after the establishment of Oriental Records, Ye Liyi became the third singer signed by the company.
Shi Nansheng said: "Is Mr. Wang willing to hold a concert tour for her?"
Tour?
Wang Zifan tapped his index finger on the table and pondered, "This shouldn't be your idea, right?"
Shi Nansheng flashed inexplicably, and had to answer: "This is Manager Chen's suggestion!"
Wang Zifan said slowly: "Chen Baixiang was also a singer before!"
Shi Nansheng couldn't keep up with his train of thought a little, and it took a while to react, and he couldn't help but say, "Wang always wants Manager Chen to go to the record company?"
Wang Zifan groaned, "What do you think?"
Shi Nansheng said: "Mr. Chen used to be just a host, although he opened a garment factory, but it was too sudden to put him in such a high position all of a sudden?"
Suddenly?
Wang Zifan didn't realize it, he chose Chen Baixiang not only because he could sing, but also because Tan Yonglin, the two are small, different from Zhang Guorong, now Tan Yonglin is already a well-known singer and movie star, in Taiwan for three years, has made more than 20 movies, returned to Hong Kong to release records, and also sold platinum sales, which is the time of high spirits.
For some reason, Shi Nansheng did not want Chen Baixiang to get a high position, and further persuaded: "I heard that Mr. Chen has always had opinions on Zhang Guorong, will there be an accident if this arrangement is made?"
Wang Zifan's heart moved, and he nodded: "What you said makes sense!"
Chen Baixiang's wife and Zhang Guorong have acted in salty wet films, and the two have skin to skin, and later Tan and Zhang fought for hegemony in the music world, Chen Baixiang fired with all his might, suppressing Zhang Guorong more than Tan Yonglin, and made it clear that it was a communiqué personal vendetta, if Zhang Guorong took the initiative to send Chen Baixiang there, wouldn't this be a sheep into the tiger's mouth! But apart from Chen Baixiang, he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
Shi Nansheng also thought of this, and had to find someone to replace Chen Baixiang, analyzed the connections over and over again in his mind, and said tentatively: "Has Mr. Wang heard of Feng Tianzhi?"
Wang Zifan said, "Polygram, that Feng Tianzhi?"
Whether it was in Hong Kong in the 80s, or in the 21st century, Feng Tianzhi is very famous, Wang Zifan naturally heard, Feng Tianzhi participated in the Hong Kong local pop band "themystics" when he was young, and worked tirelessly to specialize in music production, in the 70s, he was invited by his friend Zheng Donghan to join the newly established Hong Kong Polygram Records, Xu Guanjie is his one hand to become popular, and soon he will serve as a producer, signing the god Teresa Teng for Polygram, and produced many important records.
Seeing Wang Zifan's reaction, Shi Nansheng knew that things could be done, and said with a smile: "I can try to invite him to join!"
Wang Zifan immediately promised: "As long as he agrees, I will immediately entrust him with the position of general manager!"
Before Shi Nansheng could respond, Zhou Hailin knocked on the door again and came in, and reported: "Mr. Wang, there is a reporter named Zhou Dapeng outside who is in a hurry to see you!"
Wang Zifan said: "Let him in!"
Shi Nansheng changed his words and said, "Mr. Wang, then I'll go back first." ”
Wang Zifan raised his hand and signaled: "Okay, I'll ask for your opinion later!"
Ask for my opinion? Shi Nansheng couldn't think of a reason after thinking for a while, and stayed in confusion.
"Mr. Wang, I ...... You have a guest here!" Zhou Dapeng strode in, and before he finished his words, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw Shi Nansheng.
Wang Zifan said with a smile: "This is my financial officer, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhou Dapeng blinked, thinking that it is good to have money, even the financial officer is a big beauty, pursed his lips, put aside the weird thoughts, and continued: "I have completed everything you ordered, and now I have more than 20 people under my command, and I can start a weekly magazine at any time!"
Much earlier than expected, Wang Zifan said, "Just tell me how much money I need?"
Zhou Dapeng said nervously: "It depends on how large-scale Mr. Wang wants to do, and the ordinary scale will be about 500,000 yuan at a time!"
Wang Zifan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Zhou Dapeng twisted and said: "Mr. Wang, you know, newspapers and magazines like this lose money in the early stage, and at least 800,000 yuan must be invested in the first three months!"
Shi Nansheng abruptly asked: "Does Wang always plan to develop in the direction of newspaper media?"
Wang Zifan smiled: "Yes, what do you think?"
Shi Nansheng was opposed, always felt that the shop was too big, DreamWorks, record companies, TV stations, and now magazines, thought silently for a while, and reminded: "If it doesn't run well, there will be pressure on the financial side!"
"There is no need to worry about this, running a magazine may not be as smooth as making a movie, but it shouldn't cost much to test the water in the early stage, you should be able to see it, and by next year, our company's finances will have a qualitative leap!"
Shi Nansheng immediately replied: "It took a lot of money to acquire the record company, and the finances must be independent, and there are about 5 million!"
Really!
Wang Zifan was prepared in his heart, but he still frowned and asked: "When will the dividends of "Modern Bodyguard" arrive!"
Shi Nansheng said: "Listen to Manager Xiao, the box office has been counted over there, about 1.15 billion yen, and the box office is 680 million, which is much higher than expected, but the financial audit is also very troublesome, and it will take about two months." ”
"Then urge them more! Let them turn the dividends over within half a month!" After speaking, Wang Zifan sighed, overseas dividends are very troublesome every time they settle the account, the funds have to pass layers of approval, and they will be postponed in case of holidays.
Speaking of these, Zhou Dapeng on the side couldn't say a word, but he also heard that the financial officer did not approve of the boss opening a magazine, and couldn't help but say: "As long as the funds are enough to operate, I can guarantee that it will turn losses into profits within half a year!"
Shi Nansheng said lightly: "Then how much money do you need for half a year?"
Zhou Dapeng said that if he wants to make the magazine bigger, he will invest at least two million in half a year.
"Okay, this matter is decided!" Wang Zifan made a final decision, newspapers and magazines must be done, otherwise he will be afraid of trysts with his wife in the future, Cao Cao said well, screw me to secretly photograph others, and don't let others secretly photograph me!
Shi Nansheng compromised: "Understood!"
Wang Zifan thought for a while and instructed: "In order to prevent accidents, except for the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Industrial, other stock investments will be cashed out!"
Shi Nansheng's face looked a little better and said, "This can replenish one or two million liquidity!"
Wang Zifan approved a note, handed it to Zhou Dapeng, and reminded: "I will take this note to the finance department to get the money! Don't be in a hurry to be happy, this money is not for you, the finance department will send an accountant to settle in the magazine, you serve as the manager of the magazine, she is responsible for finance, and report the company's situation to me every week!"
Zhou Dapeng held the approval slip in both hands, nodded busily and said, "I understand!"
Wang Zifan waved his hand and said, "The rest of the things you two will discuss!"
