Chapter 456: The Contract's Catsiness

After the host finished reading the advertising words, the director announced a five-minute break before continuing.

The staff brought mineral water to the guests.

Lu Jianchuan took a sip of water, leaned closer and asked, "Is what you just said okay?" ”

Fang Xing gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's great, after the show is broadcast, Uncle Lu may be able to gain a group of fans." ”

"Hey! What do I want fans to do, I just have something in my heart, and I don't vomit or be unhappy. Lu Jianchuan has been depressed for a long time, and this time he is on the show for the sake of his thoughts.

After resting for five minutes, Gao Yun returned to the sofa and asked, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Fang, have you rested well?" Shall we continue? ”

"Yes." Lu Jianchuan nodded very rigorously.

Gao Yun looked in the direction of the director and said that he was ready.

Liu Wanyong, the director of "Oriental Finance and Economics", announced on the walkie-talkie: "Everyone has it, and the recording will start again." ”

Gao Yun saw the indicator light of the No. 1 main engine light on, looked at the camera and said: "Welcome back, the topic we discussed just now is 'contract spirit and contract fraud'."

"Today's guest, Mr. Lu Jianchuan, chairman of Dachuan Audio, once caused the company to be on the verge of bankruptcy because of an investment contract.

"What is the reason for the sudden withdrawal of investment companies?

"Mr. Lu Jianchuan, do you know the reason for the investment company's divestment?"

Lu Jianchuan pondered for a moment, and his tone was uncertain: "I don't know the real reason, and the investment company did not give any reason for withdrawal, only that my company has no investment potential and must be withdrawn." ”

Gao Chuan woke up to Fang and asked the same question: "What about Fang Dao?" Do you have an idea of the reasons for the divestment of this investment company? ”

Fang Xing usually pondered for a while, and did not answer positively, but said: "I understand that I do understand, but there is no evidence to prove it, even if I say it, will the show be broadcast?" ”

Gao Yun explained with a smile: "Director Fang, "Oriental Finance" is not just an ordinary talk show, the program team will also conduct a clear investigation to find the truth of the incident.

"Therefore, although you provide clues, as for the evidence, the program team will send reporters to interview people familiar with the matter to restore the truth of the matter."

"Oriental Finance and Economics" will indeed send reporters to investigate and dig up news.

One of the reasons why this show has a good reputation is that it dares to pursue the truth.

Fang Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and replied, "Pengcheng Capital...... Can you just mention the name of this company? ”

"It doesn't matter, Director Fang can say whatever he wants, if it involves issues such as privacy and sensitive topics, the show will be silenced and coded in the later stage." Gao Yun explained.

Fang Xing continued: "Since Willy Construction is mentioned in your interview, then I'll say it directly.

"Pengcheng Capital once used the company 'Willy Construction Engineering' to bid for a project land in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park.

"The project amount of this project land is as high as 15 to 2 billion.

Therefore, for Pengcheng Capital, Willy Construction's project requires a lot of capital.

However, Pengcheng Capital has failed several consecutive investments, resulting in a shortage of funds.

"If you can't make a lot of money quickly, you will probably lose the big project of Willy Construction.

Therefore, Pengcheng Capital wants to force Dachuan Audio to go bankrupt and liquidate by cutting off funds.

And then acquire the benign assets of Dachuan Audio, carry out asset restructuring, and then sell it.

"According to my understanding, if this plan of Pengcheng Capital is successful, it can make a profit of 100 million."

Gao Yun showed a look of sudden realization and echoed: "I see. ”

He turned to Lu Jianchuan again and asked, "Mr. Lu, is this the motivation for this matter?" ”

Lu Jianchuan was silent for a moment and replied, "What do you say?" My guess about this matter is similar to Fang Xing's. However, Dachuan Audio is not bankrupt after all, and the things that followed have not happened, so it can only be speculation, so there is no evidence to prove whether Pengcheng Capital really wants to do this. ”

Gao Yun nodded and praised: "Mr. Lu is indeed very rigorous, so let's go back to the investment contract, did Mr. Lu know that there was a problem with the investment contract at the beginning?" ”

Lu Jianchuan shook his head: "I don't know that there is a problem with the contract, how can I say it...... In fact, there is no problem with the contract itself, that is, there is no clause in the contract about Party A's divestment.

"Later, I looked at the contract with a lawyer, and if Party A followed the investment process of the contract, the financing would be completed smoothly.

The lawyer also said that this type of contract is usually biased in favor of Party A and protects Party A's rights and interests, but there will be fewer restrictions on Party A.

"Since Pengcheng Capital is Party A, there is no restriction on Party A's divestment in the contract.

"I was too happy to get the investment at the beginning and ignored this, and Pengcheng Capital needs to invest a lot of money in Dachuan Audio.

"If they withdraw halfway, they will also lose money.

And, for the sake of insurance, that financing was not just Pengcheng Capital, but received funds from two investment companies.

"It's just that I didn't expect that after Pengcheng Capital withdrew, another investment company also terminated the investment contract on the grounds that Dachuan Audio was on the verge of bankruptcy."

Gao Yun then asked, "So, didn't you seek financial support from other places later?" ”

Lu Jianchuan then replied: "I found it, in half a year, I found all the people I could find, but I didn't get financial help."

"I even mortgaged the fixed assets in my name, but the loans I obtained could only barely keep the company from being liquidated by bankruptcy, and I was never able to revitalize the company."

Gao Yun continued: "What happened later? ”

"Later ......"

Lu Jianchuan looked at Fang Xing and said with emotion: "Later, it was my daughter who collaborated with Fang Xing on a drama to solve the financial problem. ”

Gao Yun took over the topic and said: "Some audience friends may not know that Mr. Lu's daughter is Miss Lu Xianger, a violinist who won the gold medal for the country at the Paganini International Violin Competition.

"Today, Miss Lu Xianger and Mother Lu also came to the show."

When the host speaks.

There are two cameras that turn to the audience under the stage.

Lu Xianger covered her mouth and smiled, waving her hand to greet the camera.

Lu's mother covered her face with her hand, and waved her hand at the camera with the other hand, indicating that she didn't want to be photographed.

Gao Yun continued: "I believe many viewers and friends know that the first TV series performed by Miss Lu Xianger and Fang Xing is called "The Beginning".

According to the information obtained by the program team, Miss Lu Xianger made a sum of money by investing in "The Beginning", and Dachuan Audio relied on this fund to get through the difficulties.

"Interestingly, at that time, "The Beginning" was broadcast at the same time as "Crime by the Pillow", a drama invested by this capital company.

As a result, many people know that this capital company lost money again because of "Crime by the Pillow".

Not only that, but the later "The Pretender" and "Invisible Spy", "Hurricane" and "Operation Black Wind", as well as the current "Langya Bang" and "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".

"Every time a TV series produced by Ark Culture collides with a TV series invested by this capital company.

"I'd love to ask Director Fang, what is your purpose for deliberately targeting this capital company?"

Fang Xing replied very calmly: "Actually, it's not so targeted, it's just that I want to make a drama, and it happens to be broadcast at the same time as those dramas, so I will fight with unscrupulous capital." ”

After the interview was almost finished.

Gao Yun began to make a final summary: "After listening to the narration of Mr. Lu and Mr. Fang, we realized the ugly face of an unscrupulous capital company.

"According to the interview of our reporters, I also found some deeper information, and also let my reporters see the uglier side behind time.

"In the interview, the guest mentioned a company called 'Willie Construction'.

"In order to find out the truth, our reporter went to find this company.

"But when the reporter came to the registered address of 'Willy Construction', it was already empty.

"According to insiders, this 'Willie Construction Engineering' is a company with formal construction qualifications.

"Why would such a legal and compliant company be empty overnight?

In order to seek the truth, our reporter visited the leaders of Ningyun District and got a thought-provoking answer.

"The company, called 'Willy Construction Engineering', has violated the rules in the approval process for the application of land for the Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park project.

"That's why 'Willie Construction' emptied the building overnight.

"However, who is the person standing behind 'Willie Construction'?

"Is it related to the capital company mentioned in the show? When the show was broadcast, there was no answer, and we could only wait for the law to return the truth to the public.

"That's all for this issue, I'm the host Gao Yun, thank you for watching."

……

Fang Xing listened to the host's closing remarks and found a lot of information from it.

"Oriental Finance" pointed to "Willy Construction Engineering", and also mentioned that the company had illegal operations in the process of declaring project land.

However, there is no Tiningyun District Mayor Hu Yuhai.

Obviously, Hu Yuhai's matter is not what Donghai Satellite TV should report.

But Donghai Satellite TV dared to report on "Willy Construction", which is already very revealing.

The interview with Donghai Satellite TV was also done very skillfully, omitting people and things that should not be mentioned, but making the interview intriguing.

To sum up, this interview is in line with the theme of "Contract Spirit and Contract Fraud".

……

Meanwhile.

"Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" was thrown to noon broadcast by Jiangnan Satellite TV, and was completely nailed to the wall of bad movies.

The number of online broadcasts also began to plunge.

The major video platforms are very fortunate that they signed an advertising account sharing contract with Hanlin Media, and they did not sign a guarantee.

The advertising account-sharing contract is based on the profit ratio, and the more the video platform earns, the more it will be distributed to Hanlin Media.

The video platform earns less, and the less it is distributed to Hallym Media.

In other words, no matter how bad the drama is, the video platform will make less money at most, and it will not lose too much.

Of course, the video platform gave "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" publicity resources, if these publicity resources are also money, they will definitely be a loss, but the revenue will make up for most of it, and the overall will not lose too much.

However, the investors of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" are different.

This drama invested 150 million, which is real money.

"Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" completely hit the streets, and it is difficult to recover the investment.

What's more, the interstitial advertisement for "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" did not sell.

Chen Wenhan is full of confidence in this drama.

However, the TV stations that participated in the film viewing party all thought that this drama was not as good as "Langya Bang".

Advertisers and brands are well-informed, and they all know that David TV is competing for "Langya Bang", but they are not interested in "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival".

Therefore, advertisers and brands have opened very low advertising prices for the inserts of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".

The price of 500,000 an episode.

Chen Wenhan can't look at this price, after all, the third season of "Hurricane" sold a sky-high price of 5.2 million episodes.

Now advertisers only give the price of 500,000 episodes of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".

The difference between the two is 10 times, and Chen Wenhan can't look at the price of 500,000 episodes at all, so he decided to wait for the show to start broadcasting, and then auction the insert advertisement at a high price.

It's just that the ratings of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" fell below the bottom line of Jiangnan Satellite TV, and was finally thrown to the noon time slot.

In this case, it is impossible for advertisers to buy the advertisement of this show, even if their brains are in water.

Liu Shijie negotiated with advertisers everywhere, hoping to sell 500,000 episodes of insert ads.

However, advertisers no longer accept the price of 500,000 per episode, and even if it is pressed to 300,000 per episode, there is no reason for the manufacturer to advertise.

At each working meeting of Hanlin Media, the calculated income of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" is getting less and less.

It is already impossible to return to the original cost.

……

Every time Chen Wenhan listened to the revenue report, he would be furious.

His private phone will be blown up by investors every day and turned off directly.

It was noon that day.

He came out of the headquarters of Hallym Media, went down to the basement, opened the door of the sports car, and was about to get into the car.

At this time.

Two bodyguards in black suits appeared and stopped in front of the car door.

Chen Wenhan's eyes lit up, and he asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"Chen Shao, don't be so nervous, Mr. Feng wants to ask you to meet and talk." The two bodyguards directly picked up Chen Wenhan and walked towards the black car on the other end.

"What are you doing!" Chen Wenhan struggled hard, but he couldn't break free at all.

It wasn't until he came to the black sedan that the window in the back seat fell, revealing Feng Yunbin's face.

As soon as Chen Wenhan saw Feng Yunbin, he was not nervous, shook off the bodyguard's hand, straightened his shirt, and asked, "Feng Yunbin, what do you want to do?" ”

Feng Yunbin beckoned to him and said, "Come up." ”

The bodyguard pulls the car door.

Chen Wenhan was not afraid of him at all, and sat in the car: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Feng Yunbin's mouth, and he said, "I don't want to be so rude, but Chen Shao's shelf is too big, and he didn't answer the phone so many times, so I had to make this decision." ”

Chen Wenhan snorted coldly: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to waste time with you." ”

Feng Yunbin chuckled: "I'm also busy, but there are some things that I still have to talk to Chen Shao personally." ”

"If you have something, just say it, and get out of here when you're done." Chen Wenhan's attitude is still arrogant, because he still holds Feng Yunbin's "handle" in his hand.

Feng Yunbin took out a document bag, took out a contract from it, handed it over and said, "Look at it yourself." ”

Chen Wenhan took the contract and glanced at it, it was the investment contract of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".

When he saw that it was this contract, he was not interested in opening it and reading: "What happened to this contract?" If there's a fart, let it go. ”

Feng Yunbin reminded: "Article 6 on the third page, read it yourself." ”

Chen Wenhan turned the third page, found the sixth article, and read out the above content: "Party B promises that the TV series "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" invested by Party A will be profitable, and after deducting the investment principal, it will not be less than 10% of the investment principal. ”

Feng Yunbin tugged at the corners of his mouth and asked, "See clearly, right?" ”

Chen Wenhan's brows furrowed, he directly forgot that there was such a clause in the contract.

In fact.

When signing the contract, the legal counsel of Pengcheng Capital reminded him of this clause.

This is actually a guarantee clause, that is, no matter how much profit "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" makes, Dingsheng Capital invested 50 million, and finally 55 million must be recovered.

Chen Wenhan has indeed heard the in-house counsel remind him of this clause, but for a capital company, a 10% profit is not too high.

Chen Wenhan doesn't look at the 10% profit at all, he wants to double or even multiply the profit.

So he didn't care about this clause at all.

The legal counsel of Pengcheng Capital was also dutiful and proposed to Dingsheng Capital to amend the terms of the contract.

However, Feng Yunbin refused, and ridiculed Chen Wenhan: "I can't even reach 10% of the profit, what kind of drama are you filming?" ”

Chen Wenhan glared at the legal counsel at that time and signed the contract.

Now that "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" has completely hit the streets, and it can't even recover the cost, this contract clause will naturally take effect.
