223. Premonition

After reading the information of these five companies, I took one of the five documents, put it on the table and asked, "What about this one?" What about the comprehensive information? ”

Zhou Hua glanced at me, took the copy I pulled out, he looked down at it, and said with a smile: "Kyushu Entertainment Company." At present, it has an advantage over the other four companies. This company can't keep up with the artist packaging and doesn't have many resources. So the director has not made a profit for a long time, and it just so happens that the owner of Kyushu Entertainment Company has also run a hotel, and the performance of the hotel business has not been satisfactory in recent years, and the foreign debt of the director has increased sharply, and now in order to save the hotel, he has to sell Kyushu Entertainment Company. ”

I said, "What about the advantages?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "The advantage is that he has several artists who are very shapely, if there are good resources that can be provided to them, and there are conditions to package them, the prospects will be very good, and the most important thing is that Kyushu Entertainment Company also has a valuable talent." ”

I said, "Talent? ”

Zhou Hua said: "Maybe you don't know much about this aspect, Kyushu Group has a very powerful agent, this agent worked in a foreign entertainment company in his early years. The artists in charge are all international superstars, and the artists who have been packaged by her will be popular in ten times. ”

I said, "But why did she come to Kyushu Group?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "Because she is the old lover of the boss of the Kyushu Group, the reason why she quit her job abroad and nested in a medium-level entertainment company like Kyushu." It's just a reminder of old love. ”

I flipped through the information and said: "But after the said agent came to Kyushu, the artists in Kyushu were all in a state of half-red and not purple, and they didn't do much. ”

Zhou Hua said: "Yes, after the old lover of the boss of Kyushu Entertainment Company came to Kyushu, he once became popular with an actress in two years, and the actress's name was Ye Lan. ”

I frowned and asked, "Ye Lan?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "More than ten years ago. This Ye Lan was once a smash hit, earning a lot of money for Kyushu Group, so that Kyushu jumped from a third-tier entertainment company to a second-tier in a short period of time, and the artists under other companies, because of the name of Xiao Jinghua, the ace agent of Kyushu Group, there are constantly people who want to jump ship to develop in Kyushu, at that time, there were more than 300 artists signed by Kyushu during the peak period, and the prospects were very good, but who knows, Ye Lan, who was popular by Xiao Jinghua, suddenly committed suicide at home one day inexplicably, Xiao Jinghua couldn't accept this blow because he had a deep affection for this person, and he was in a state of collapse ever since, and he couldn't hold the second Ye Lan again.

Many artists originally came for Xiao Jinghua, the ace agent, but they waited for a few years, and Xiao Jinghua's slump made them feel hopeless, so they jumped ship and left. ”

I said: "Does the boss of Kyushu Entertainment Company still have a relationship with this Xiao Jinghua?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "I don't know about this, but Xiao Jinghua has a very deep affection for Kyushu, and when she learned that Huo Nie, the owner of Kyushu Entertainment Company, was going to sell the company, she never proposed to leave." ”

I said: "I have heard of this Xiao Jinghua's name, it is indeed very famous abroad, and many international celebrities have been popular by her, but she has been silent for so many years, does she really have the ability to turn over?" I thought about it for a while, and added: "No, what I want to ask is, whether she is Jiang Lang's talent, if she no longer has the ability she had at the beginning, for me, she is just an ordinary agent now, and there is nothing surprising." ”

Zhou Hua took a sip of tea and said: "You can naturally rest assured that a person has the ability and ink in his stomach, no matter how many years have passed, these things will not disappear, as long as she wants to, the second Ye Lan will reappear in Kyushu, even now, Xiao Jinghua, who has been silent for so long, is still a sought-after commodity in the eyes of the bosses in the entertainment industry, and many people have invited her with a high salary, but she has always been indifferent." ”

I said, "If I buy this entertainment company, I don't have time to wait for her to grow." ”

Zhou Hua suddenly smiled very mysteriously and said: "Now Huo Nie owes a lot of debts, and many people are competing for this company, but Huo Nie is not satisfied with the price, as long as you give him a satisfactory price, you can naturally force you to sign a contract, so that Xiao Jinghua must become popular within two years, and at such a critical time, she will not die for her old lover, and people's talents can be stimulated." ”

I said, "How much did other competitors pay to buy this entertainment company?" ”

Zhou Hua made a seven gesture at me.

I said, "Seven hundred million?? ”

Zhou Hua immediately denied it and said: "No, where do you want so much money." ”

I said, "How much is that?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "Seventy million." ”

I said, "Seventy million? ”

Zhou Hua said: "Yes. ”

I said, "Is there any contact information for Huo Nie?" ”

Zhou Hua said: "Yes." ”

I said, "I'll have a meal with him on Tuesday." ”

Zhou Hua asked, "Don't you need to think about it all?" ”

I said, "No, you can just ask him out for me." ”

Zhou Hua said, "Okay, I'll help you make an appointment with him." ”

After meeting Zhou Hua, on the way back, I asked Assistant Zhu, "Which of the five companies do you think is better?" ”

Assistant Zhu said, "Don't you have an answer? ”

I said, "I'd like to hear from you." ”

Assistant Zhu said: "The entertainment industry starts fast, and the return of funds is also fast, basically as long as the artist is popular, has resources, and the profitability is very objective, and the development is also very good, compared with the rest of the industries that rely on connections and qualifications, the entertainment industry is indeed relatively easy to get started." ”

I said: "I think the same way, for example, in these five companies, there is also a steel plant, in the operation of this kind of company, not only to have iron ore resources, but also to have technology, and the investment is large, the return of funds is also slow, if no one buys their own things, the first-hand goods are blocked in the hands must die, and in the iron and steel enterprise circle, not only the shipping and procurement resources must be opened, there is no network to operate, it is indeed very difficult, but the entertainment industry is different, although the network is also essential, but the investment in movies is originally profitable." , without connections, you can also find good scripts, make your own movies, and enable your own artists, and the accessibility is indeed better than that of steel companies. ”

I said: "I thought the same way before, but the investment in movies is also extremely high, and if the things that come out do not meet the audience's taste, it is common to lose money." ”

Assistant Zhu said: "There will be risks in any industry. ”

This is a true statement.

Three days later, Assistant Zhu and I went to see Huo Nie, and a few people talked about it at the time, and the conversation was quite pleasant, Huo Nie asked how much we could pay to buy Kyushu Film and Television Entertainment Company.

I asked him, "What is the lowest price you can accept?" ”

Huo Nie said: "Consultant Zhou should have told you about the ideal price in my mind, right?" ”

I said, "He did say that." ”

Huo Nie said: "My ideal price is not less than 70 million. ”

I said, "I'll add 10 million to you, how about 80 million in total?" ”

Huo Nie was a little surprised, because according to normal people to talk about business, the price that Party B gives to Party A, Party A will definitely bargain, and he will definitely not take the initiative to increase the price, but now I am indeed raising the price for him.

Huo Nie looked at me with a surprised expression.

I smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, don't be surprised, naturally don't doubt that this is a pie, I will give you an extra 10 million because we also have the conditions." ”

The surprise on Huo Nie's face withdrew his hand, and he asked, "What conditions?" ”

I said, "Xiao Jinghua, after buying your company, Xiao Jinghua wants to stay." ”

Huo Nie frowned and said, "Xiao Jinghua? He thought for a while and replied, "Xiao Jinghua has no signs of resignation at present, so you can naturally rest assured." ”

I said, "Of course I know she's not going to leave for a while, but what if she takes your company and she leaves?" You must know that the current total assets of Kyushu Entertainment Company are only worth 50 million, and I let you earn 30 million for nothing, so you should show some sincerity. ”

When Huo Nie heard me say this, he asked, "Then what do you want?" "There is a lot of planning.

I said: "Xiao Jinghua must sign a contract for selling himself, the contract period is 30 years, and he will become an artist within two years." ”

Huo Nie said in surprise: "Thirty years?!" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

Huo Nie said with a face full of embarrassment: "Madam, you also know that Xiao Jinghua is just my employee, and I can't make this decision on her behalf." ”

I smiled and said, "The friendship between Mr. Huo and Miss Xiao is not a secret that cannot be said, if Mr. Huo wants to make money, he must pay something." ”

Huo Nie was still hesitating.

I put down the teacup in my hand and said, "Think about it." ”

Huo Nie wanted to say something, but I had already stood up and said to him: "I give you three days to think about it, and you have the right to choose to refuse." ”

After Assistant Zhu handed me the coat, I put it on and didn't look at Huo Nie again.

The waiter pushed the box door open, and was about to walk out, when I suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door, I don't know why, I actually had a strong feeling, I raised my face and asked Assistant Zhu: "Did Shen Boteng also come to this hotel today?" ”

Zhu Wen said: "There is no hotel on his itinerary today. ”

I listened to the footsteps getting closer and said, "No, he's coming." I quickly told him, "Shut the door." ”

Zhu Wen glanced at me suspiciously, however, he finally closed the door quickly according to my instructions, and it didn't take long for a burst of footsteps to flash outside the door, someone spoke again, what was said, I didn't hear it very clearly, and after the footsteps at the door were far away, I walked to the window, and slowly lifted the bamboo curtain up gently, and a group of people happened to come out of the stone arch, and the leader did have a very familiar back, and that person was really Shen Boteng.

Assistant Zhou next to him was talking to him, and he walked forward, not knowing if he listened.

Just as I was staring at them, Shen Boteng, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and Assistant Zhou seemed to ask him, "What's wrong." ”

Shen Boteng didn't answer Assistant Zhou anything, but looked at me without warning, I was so frightened that I quickly put down the bamboo curtain on the spot, and I hid in a safe place, covering my beating heart.

Assistant Zhu, who was standing next to me, glanced at me, he didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to pick up the bamboo curtain and looked outside, sure enough, it was Shen Boteng.

He put it back down and said, "Madame's hunch seems to be very bright. ”

I said, "I can hear his footsteps." ”

Assistant Zhu said lightly: "It seems that you don't need to investigate in the future, you can just feel it yourself." ”

I felt that Assistant Zhu's words seemed to be slightly prickly, and when I raised my face to look at his expression, I found that his face had not changed, and it was the same as usual.

All I could ask was, "What now?" ”

Zhu Wen said: "After he leaves, we will leave." ”

I said, "Didn't you say you looked up his schedule?" Why is he still here? ”

Zhu Wen said: "He changed the schedule temporarily, and he maybe. ”

I could only turn around and continue to sit at the table, Huo Nie didn't know what was going on, but he didn't ask much, and continued to talk to me about Kyushu, and I listened absentmindedly.

To be on the safe side, we waited for about twenty minutes, and only left at the back door after calling the front desk of Nanyuan to confirm whether Shen Boteng had left.
