Volume I, Chapter 26, Disputes

Wang Jia'an looked at Zheng Zeshi, who was angry in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Directly promoted from an ordinary department head of ATV to the new president of New Asia Films, although he has only been in office for a few months, he feels that he has lost a lot of weight. The reason is that the fat man in front of him gave him too much grievance and sulking to eat.

“…… Zheng Sheng, didn't you say that your movie started today, how do you have time to come to the company? ”

The two of them stared at each other for a while, but Wang Jia'an couldn't hold it first, coughed and got up and walked to the cabinet next to him, "I only have instant coffee and black tea here, what do you drink?" ”

Zheng Zeshi didn't buy it at all, and said with a cold face: "Where am I still in the mood to drink anything, Mr. Wang, you also know that our movie is going to start today, but it can be said that the two million investment of Lu is good, and now I have only received half of it in my account, where is the other million?" ”

"Ahem!" Wang Jia'an turned his back to him, and his face became very ugly for a moment. He didn't expect Zheng Zeshi to be so faceless, although he Zheng Zeshi is the company's major shareholder, but he is the president of the largest shareholder ATV Airborne, although Xinya is not big, but he is the nominal president, at least the company's management is all under his responsibility.

But when he turned around, his face was full of smiles again, "Zheng Sheng, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger, come on, I helped you brew a cup of black tea, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your ......."

He helped Zheng Zeshi brew a cup of black tea, and personally brought it to him in front of him, where is there a little bit of the company's president, if there are outsiders at this time, people who don't know the way of the road may still think that the positions of the two have been reversed.

No way, the president is also a wage earner, Wang Jiaan knows this very well.

"Eliminate gas? Mr. Wang, where do I have the courage to be angry with you. I can't afford to drink this black tea, if you want, I'll make you a cup too, what do you think? ”

Zheng Zeshi watched him coldly bring the black tea, but he didn't take it. Instead, he sneered and sarcastically mocked him: "Mr. Wang, you have been dragging me for two whole months." When Qiu Sheng invited me to take a stake in New Asia, he clearly told me that in the future, he and ATV would only be responsible for the management of the company, and I would be fully responsible for making movies. The contract is clearly written, but before I said to make a movie, you asked me to wait under the pretext of the ATV fire, and I waited for a month. Later, I asked for an investment of five million, and you said that Xinya's first film was more stable, and it was better to shoot a small-budget movie, but I asked the best screenwriter in the circle to create the script of "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" for me, who knew that I would approve two million with you after I took it, but you still found an excuse not to give money, and only allocated one million to me at the beginning of the month, I just want to ask Mr. Wang, what do you mean? ”

Seeing that he didn't take the black tea, he fired at himself instead. Wang Jia'an's face was ugly, he put the teacup on the table, pulled a bench and sat down next to him, not to mention how bitter his face was: "Zheng Sheng, it's not that I'm looking for an excuse not to give money, but ATV has just changed its new shareholders now, and now it's messing up, some people are not satisfied with the bad debts of our Xinya in the past, and the finance side is unwilling to give money, so I can't do anything." I begged my father to tell my grandmother, but I don't know how many times I ran to get it! ”

As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Zheng Zeshi's face, but he didn't want to see his face thaw, but it became more and more ugly, and his heart suddenly sank, knowing that it was not good.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Zheng Zeshi's face was already gloomy as iron, he stood up with a cold snort, pointed at him and said, "Mr. Wang, how long are you going to lie to me?" I have already gone to ATV to ask, the finance side said that the money has been allocated, I asked an acquaintance, and they said that ATV has allocated two sums of money, and it is estimated that there will be three or four million ......."

Wang Jia'an's face twitched, his eyes quickly rolled for a while, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Zheng Zeshi, who glared at Wang Jia'an, and his flushed neck showed the master's anger at this time: "If you still want to find an excuse to coax me, then don't say it again." Xinya is such a little person now, the company's finances have to be checked by you personally, and no one knows better than you how much money Xinya has now. I don't know what ATV means to you, but Mr. Wang, I, Zheng Zeshi, am a sincere person, and I made my words clear today, so don't grind with me in the future. Although I, Zheng Zeshi, am not as big as the three giants of New Art City, as well as Cheng Long, Sammo Hung and others, I am also a little famous in the film industry. If Qiu Sheng hadn't personally invited me, I would never have noticed that there was such a film company in Hong Kong. ”

"Qiu Sheng invited me to come to New Asia to make New Asia better. Now that Qiu Sheng doesn't care about anything, is it not true that our previous agreement is no longer a word? I am not as good as you in management, yes, I am a shareholder of the company, but as long as you are reasonable and can convince me, I will do whatever you say. But when it comes to making movies, I think there are still a few movies that can be used, and I also have some connections in the circle. It's very upset that you're playing this trick with me now. Today, I only ask Mr. Wang for one sentence, whether you give the money for "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" or not, give, the movie will be filmed when it starts today, and if the results are not good, I will pay for the two million by myself, let's use the results to speak. Don't give it, you can help me bring a sentence to ATV's senior management, I invested 4 million in Xinya, I paid me back the money, I bought the script at my own expense, and I put the money of the crew and actors on the front, and we went half of the road to the sky. ”

His words are equivalent to pushing Wang Jia'an to the edge of the cliff.

Taking over New Asia is a standard chore, and the Lin family's entry into ATV not only brings high-level shocks, but also a new management concept that is different from Qiu Degen's and an ambition to go public. Yes, ATV's old rival Wireless has completed its IPO and will be listed at the end of this year. Lin Baixin is known as the "god of Hong Kong stocks", and created a "Lai Sun myth" that shocked the whole Hong Kong last year, although the acquisition of ATV was done by his second son Lin Jianle, but from the very beginning he formulated a long-term development plan for ATV, one of which is to send ATV to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within three to five years after the completion of the acquisition of ATV.

Because of his plan, the new senior management of ATV is now not very happy with the rotten package left by the former boss Qiu Degen, who is about to become history, although the new senior management still pays the money promised in his agreement with Zheng Zeshi to the company's account for the sake of the face of the former boss Qiu Degen. However, before Wang Jiaan took office, he was personally received by the new senior management of ATV, especially the new directors Lin Jianle and Le Shao arranged by the Lin family in ATV, hinting that no matter what means he used, he would also make Zheng Zeshi withdraw from New Asia, and finally achieve the goal of throwing away the package of New Asia.

Wang Jia'an's face was gloomy and ugly, Zheng Zeshi had said everything to this point, and the development of the situation was beyond his control.

"The Lin family joined ATV...... Wait, Lin Shao......"

In his mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and the Wang family was anxious, seeing that Zheng Zeshi's face was becoming more and more impatient, and he didn't care about it, so he hurriedly replied: "...... It is true that ATV allocated a sum of money to come over, but Zheng Sheng, although our Xinya is small, it is also a film company, and there are dozens of mouths below waiting for dinner every month, in addition to publicity, management expenses, etc., all of which need to spend money. I can understand your difficulties, but I also hope that Zheng Sheng can understand my difficulties. It's not that I deliberately embarrassed you, since Chairman Qiu handed over some management positions at the beginning of the year, the new senior management of ATV has no consensus on our film company. The vast majority of high-level executives are now examining the meaning of the existence of film companies, so we now need to seek stability, shoot one or two small-budget films first, and control the cost of a single film below one million, so as to diversify the investment risk, even if a film loses money, we will not have no room to turn over. Although I don't know much about making movies, I have also heard that even if there are several giant companies in Hong Kong, not every movie is not all paid for by itself, and it is not necessary to find some other people to invest together. Zheng Sheng has connections in the circle, and we at New Asia are also welcome for outsiders to participate in investment and diversify risks! ”

His words directly made Zheng Zeshi's face red, his chest rose and fell violently, and he took a few long breaths before he suppressed the anger in his heart, but his face was still ugly, "Risk-averse, does the king always distrust me?" ”

"No, no, no, Zheng Sheng. No one can guarantee the return before the movie is released, this is a high-risk investment, and it is gratifying to win, but New Asia cannot afford to lose this risk. So, we need to diversify the risk, for example......"

"Bang Bang Bang~~~"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office, and then a young voice came, "Mr. Wang, can I come in?" ”

Wang Jia'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and the words that had been prepared in his head could finally be taken out.
