Regarding Zhang Mu's rhetorical question, Jiang Ping was not too surprised.

After all, in the eyes of many people, it seems that the coal boss entered the film and television industry just to make female stars and praise Xiaomi.

To be honest, Jiang Ping also had this view before.

But after working under Mr. Chen for so long, Jiang Ping has seen some things more or less.

Therefore, I saw that his face was complicated, and he sighed and said:

"Muzi, we are also old acquaintances, I will be honest with you about some things!"

……

It is said that the emergence of this group of coal bosses actually stems from two factors.

First, after the reform and opening up, the state introduced a new policy to allow individuals to contract coal enterprises.

The second is because in 2002, the state liberalized the guide price of thermal coal.

It is precisely because of the existence of two objective conditions that when the domestic economy takes off and energy demand begins to soar, coal bosses can stand on the tuyere and rise up.

Originally, a ton of coal could only earn a few yuan, and 10,000 tons of coal could earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year.

But just after the Spring Festival in 2002, the price of coal rose directly to about 1,600 yuan.

The former coal bosses, in just a few months, earned more than most of their previous life savings.

Getting rich overnight is not enough to describe their madness.

Because they get rich every night.

And this has been going on since 2002.

The vast majority of these situations occur in Shanxi, which is rich in coal resources.

It's just that there are gains and losses.

Because of some special national conditions, the competition in the coal mining industry is cruel and bloody after all, and the frequent occurrence of mining disasters makes many people have a preconceived impression of a trough cake when they mention coal bosses.

This is also where Mr. Chen and their distress lie.

Because they were pushed to the forefront by the tide of the times, even if they got rich, they didn't know why they got rich.

A set of experiences summed up in the coal mining industry in the past will not work if they are transferred to other industries.

Therefore, it is true that they have money in their hands, but they do not know how to spend it.

In this case, many coal bosses frequently invest in film and television projects.

It's just that there are few good projects in the domestic film and television industry, so those who can find coal bosses are either bad movies or money bureaus.

Like Zhang Mu's original "Pen Fairy", it actually belongs to the latter.

"Mr. Chen, they are not afraid of losing money, they are afraid of being wronged."

Speaking of this, I saw Jiang Ping looking at Zhang Mudao with a complicated face:

"If they can make a classic like "Alive", even if they lose money, Mr. Chen can't ask for it.

But you know, if there is such a project, it is not something that I have access to. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ping helplessly spread his hands and said:

"Besides, at my level, even if there is such a project in front of me, I may not be able to see that it is not!"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but be happy.

He's quite self-aware.

But Jiang Ping was right.

Because many times those scams can be done more than the real ones, and the good projects that are really short of money look like the grass platform team that cheats money.

So if you don't have a certain level, you may not be able to see it.

However, Zhang Mu can also understand the psychology of coal bosses like Mr. Chen.

After all, the more you lack something, the more you want something.

They want to use movies to add a cultural atmosphere to themselves, and in Zhang Mu's opinion, this is no problem at all!

And hearing this, Zhang Mu also roughly sorted out in his heart.

The problem now is that Mr. Chen, these coal bosses are afraid of the pit, so they have no place to spend their money.

On the other hand, the domestic film and television industry is now short of money, and I don't know how many projects have been shelved because of funding problems.

So there is demand on both sides, it's just that there is a lack of a bridge.

The coal bosses lack a reliable and discerning partner, and the directors in the circle lack a matchmaker.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mu suddenly made another decision in his heart.

So he immediately looked at Jiang Ping calmly and said:

"From a personal point of view, I welcome Mr. Chen's investment!"

"However, I hope that I can privately sign another 'concerted action person agreement' with Mr. Chen."

Hearing this, Jiang Ping frowned slightly at first, but after pondering for a while, he nodded vigorously and said:

"Okay! I'll leave this to me! ”

……

After Jiang Ping left, Zhang Mu continued to communicate with all parties in the following days, and finally determined five financiers.

They are China Film, Huaxia Ping'an, Shanghai Film, Hengdian Group and Chinese Film and Television.

Needless to say, Zhongying has been determined a long time ago; Huaxia Ping An only entered the game out of banking considerations.

However, the appearance of Shangying was indeed unexpected by Zhang Mu.

He didn't expect that the general manager Ren who was on the film would rush to the Makino headquarters in person to block people without saying a word.

Tut-tut! This style of acting is worthy of being a character who wants to wrestle with Zhongying!

So after some secret talks, Shangying finally succeeded in becoming a shareholder of Makino Media.

After all, in the southern region, the energy of the upper shadow is still very strong.

Even if Zhang Mu has always had a good relationship with Zhongying, this does not mean that he has to break off friendship with Shangying!

As for the final Chinese film and television, it is naturally a shell made by the coal bosses.

And because Jiang Ping was valued at 1.6 billion as soon as he opened his mouth, in the end, in this financing, it was Chinese film and television that accounted for the majority.

So to put it bluntly, they gave too much, and Zhang Mu really didn't resist.

Because what he lacks most at the moment is money.

One million at the beginning of the business and one million five years later are completely different concepts.

Zhang Mu didn't want to spend so much time developing slowly, so he could only exchange money for time.

……

2007, 1 January.

After several weeks of negotiation and consultation, Zhang Mu finally reached a consensus with China Film and other five companies.

In the chairman's office, looking at the financing contract that had just been signed, Yang Guang shook his head and nodded, just like a nervous disorder.

However, Zhang Mu did not have the slightest joke, after all, the company was able to get to this point, and Yang Guang really contributed to it.

After a while, after the excitement eased a little, I saw Yang Guang say with a regretful face:

"Alas! What a pity, boss! ”

"If this signing ceremony is held publicly, our company's momentum will definitely go further."

Hearing this, Zhang Mu did not feel sorry, but persuaded with a smile:

"Alright, almost. Hurry up and send out the notice! ”

"With this valuation, it's the same whether it's public or not!"

Seeing Zhang Mu say this, Yang Guang could only leave with a regretful face.

However, the fact is just as Zhang Mu said, when Makino Media sold 20% of its shares at a valuation of 1.6 billion yuan, raising a total of 320 million yuan, the entire entertainment industry almost exploded.

And this news not only slaughtered the board in the entertainment sector, but also directly entered the social news sector.

After all, it is the first time in the domestic private film and television industry that there has been financing of this scale.

And just six months ago, in June 2006, Ma Yun only spent 535,000 yuan to win 10.7% of Huayi's equity.

In comparison, Makino Media's financing is naturally sky-high.

For a while, I don't know how many media are ridiculing Huayi with red and white.

However, Zhang Mu knew in his heart that Huayi's transaction must also contain corresponding private transactions.

Just like Zhang Mu and the coal bosses represented by Chinese film and television, they also signed a concerted action agreement in private.

There are a lot of things that really can't be put on the table.

What can be seen by the public is only what capital is willing to expose.
