Chapter 321: Two Dinners

A week passed in a hurry, and it was time to officially sign a contract with Jingdong.

"Mr. Qin, happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Put down the pen, shake hands again, and the contract is done.

Qin Muchu got 10% of Jingdong's shares, although it will be continuously diluted with financing, but at least 5% is guaranteed.

Niu Qiangdong also got the most scarce funds for his self-built logistics, and 2 billion yuan was enough to support his plan to set sail.

After the contract was signed, the atmosphere suddenly soothed.

With such a large order, it stands to reason that there should be a celebration.

Because the signing place is in [Chaoqin Dusk Chu], it is natural for me to book a banquet as a local snake.

"Mr. Qin, I believe that our cooperation must be a win-win situation, thank you for your trust in Jingdong, Jingdong will definitely not let you down."

Niu Qiangdong was full of smiles, and the moment the signing was completed, he only had relaxation in his heart.

Looking at the process with the results, Qin Muchu is his best investor.

paid money, and did not have the right to speak, which also made his prestige in the company several notches higher.

"Don't call me Mr. Qin, let's just talk about age, you call me by my name, and I call you...... Brother Dong? Qin Muchu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's my part, if you are willing to call me brother, then I will call you Brother Muchu."

Niu Qiangdong was very happy with Qin Muchu's initiative to show goodwill.

He was worried that Qin Muchu would be difficult to get along with, artists, they all have a sense of arrogance, especially if he is a rich and famous artist.

The big bosses of the two companies are all intimate, and the little brothers who accompany the two sides naturally begin to stagger.

"Brother Dong, I can't drink enough, let's just have a good time, don't pay attention to those." Qin Muchu said the words to the front.

Afraid that Niu Qiangdong will give him a drunk and not return, then he estimates that he will have to lie on his stomach before the cold dishes are served.

Niu Qiangdong laughed, and he didn't feel despised either, but felt sincere:

"Okay, then let's drink the juice after drinking this cup, and I also want to chat with you, brother."

Taking a sip of wine, he put his hand on the table:

"Brother, speaking of which, we both have similar experiences, both of us are self-made...... Don't blame my brother for investigating you, Jingdong is my hard work, I dare not investigate.

In this way, my brother drinks one, which can be regarded as an apology. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Muchu to stop him, he drank half of his life's wine in one gulp, and his expression was distorted when he swallowed it.

"Ha~"

Seeing that Niu Qiangdong was so spicy that he couldn't speak, Qin Muchu used chopsticks to clip some food for him, and said:

"Brother Dong, what are you doing here? Back to normal business practices, if that's the case, then I should have a drink. ”

"Hey, it's different, you listen to me."

drank violently, Niu Qiangdong's face flushed, and he patted his chest:

"I, a standard rural guy, was poor when I was a small family, I can say that I grew up eating hundreds of meals, and the money for college was still ...... the whole village gave me"

Qin Muchu put down his chopsticks and listened to Niu Qiangdong's experience silently.

In fact, he has seen these things on the Internet in his previous life, and the suffering after becoming famous is often turned out as inspirational stories and an example for future generations.

But in fact, these are just sufferings for the parties, and they are not grateful for those years, but for themselves who persevered during those years.

Talking about the past is the most hurtful to drink and smoke, originally it was good to drink only one glass, but before you know it, you have three glasses and five glasses.

The subordinates who accompanied the wine all withdrew, and Qin Muchu and Niu Qiangdong sat in the small private room next to the banquet hall to drink tea and sober up.

"Brother, we are too similar, at first I just saw the rich list and knew that you were rich. But the more I investigated, the happier I became. You know why? ”

Without waiting for Qin Muchu to answer, Niu Qiangdong, whose face was flushed, said:

"Except that we were all born from the grassroots, even the business acumen is the same.

You are in the film and television industry, from the most primitive creation, to shooting, and the final theatrical screening, a whole closed loop.

That's what I think about my own logistics.

However, you can do it without any resistance, and there are even people like Mr. Zhao to help you, but I can't do it when I arrive.

You are the soul of the company, and I am just the brain of the company. The soul does what it wants, and the brain sometimes has to succumb to something else.

Every time I raise money and the shareholders increase, the corresponding voice will decrease, and not everyone is willing to invest money like you and support me unconditionally.

So, to be honest, brother, I really hope we can deepen our cooperation. ”

Qin Muchu probably understood what Niu Qiangdong meant, and wanted him to continue to chase after him.

Don't say if you have so much money, even if you do, you definitely can't agree:

"Brother Dong, you have your industrial development, and I also have my own, to be honest, investing in Jingdong is just an idle move, and my focus is still on the film and television industry."

This is a polite refusal.

Niu Qiangdong was a little disappointed, but understandable.

And according to his plan, Jingdong's several rounds of financing in the future will be billions or tens of billions, and it is unrealistic to rely on Qin Muchu's investment.

He quickly adjusted, raised his teacup and replaced the wine with tea:

"Haha, it's me who drank too much."

Qin Muchu accompanied him for a drink.

Everyone wants to have investors who give money and don't care about things, but such a good person, in addition to himself, is also ......

With a flash of eyes, it seemed that there was really one.

"Brother Dong, if you lack investment in the future, I really have a rich man who can introduce you to ......"

Senior sister, the fault of the senior who used you as an excuse last time can be regarded as repaid......

……

At the end of the banquet, Qin Muchu came out of the hotel.

Although he didn't drink much at noon, he couldn't drive anymore, and the company arranged for a driver to wait.

Niu Qiangdong also has a driver waiting, after all, no matter how poor he is, he can't lose face too much on this kind of day.

Before getting into the car, he patted Qin Muchu's arm with a smile on his face:

"Brother, brother thank you, no matter whether this thing is done or not, my brother will recognize this kindness."

The attitude is much more intimate than before, otherwise this kind of thing will definitely not be done.

"It's okay, Brother Dong, slow down."

Qin Muchu waved his hand.

He had just called Jingtian and asked if she wanted to consider an investment.

This girl seemed to be reading the script, and when she heard this, she said faintly:

"Senior, a supporting role, do you want to compensate you for our family?"

This made Qin Muchu very embarrassed, as if he was fighting the autumn wind.

"I'll pay back 2 billion, but not this year...... Forget it, what nonsense do I talk about with you little girl, the investment I just said is serious, you can ask your dad to check a company called Jingdong, which has great potential. ”

Although Jing Tian was very unhappy with Qin Muchu when she said that she was a "little girl", she still promised to tell her father.

Qin Muchu is quite a matchmaker in the middle, whether the two parties cooperate or not in the future, how to cooperate, it has nothing to do with him.

And Niu Qiangdong originally had concerns about the capital of the Jingtian family, but when he heard that he almost "sent" two billion yuan in order for his daughter to play a supporting role, his worries were almost dispelled.

In his opinion, there is no interest, and there is no set date for return, isn't this two billion just a gift?

If it weren't for the fact that he was not the right age, he would have had a bold idea......

"Director Qin, where are we going?"

The driver's voice brought Qin Muchu back to his senses.

He sat up straight and shook his head slightly.

The amount of alcohol is indeed the biggest flaw, a glass of liquor, still a little confused.

"What time is it?"

"Three forty-two."

Hearing this, he hurriedly took out a note from his pocket and handed it to the driver:

"Get here."

"Okay, sit down."

The driver took the note, looked at it, and slowly started the car.

And Qin Muchu unscrewed the mineral water in the back seat, drank a few sips, and wiped it on his face, sobering up as soon as possible.

Today, it's not just an appointment with Niu Qiangdong.

……

A villa in Yanjing.

The kitchen hood absorbs the smoke from the stove, and the two women are busy.

One of them, wearing an apron, took the spoon, stir-fried a few times out of the pot, and said to the woman next to him:

"Momo, take it out, be careful of the burn."

"Okay, Aunt Yao."

The woman smiled in response.

After picking up the plate, he walked out of the kitchen, put it on the table, and then looked at the old man surrounded by three children on the sofa, and walked over.

"Sister, sister, hug! Embrace! ”

When the children saw the woman coming, they all gathered around her, holding her legs and coquettishly.

"The three of you, my sister only has two hands, how can you hold it."

The woman touched the heads of the three little ones, and then said:

"In this way, the three of you go and hide, and when you count to thirty, my sister will look for you, and whoever is found in the end will hold whoever is found, okay?"

This kind of game of adults fooling children, but children like it very much, screaming and running away.

Zhang Yimou smiled at all this with satisfaction, his eldest daughter could get along well with her half-brothers and sisters, and he was naturally very happy as a father.

Zhang Mo sat down beside him and asked:

"Dad, Qin Muchu is such a big director as a guest, let's prepare six dishes, won't it be too shabby? It makes people feel as if we don't value him. ”

Zhang Yimou listened to his daughter's words and shook his head:

"You don't know him, he's not the one who cares. Xiao Qin, this kid knows the world but is not sophisticated, he is polite to people he doesn't know, and he is very casual when he is familiar.

Today, if I get a big table of dishes, or simply go to the restaurant, I will be divided. ”

Zhang Mo nodded, but then said:

"But after all, this time we have something to ask for, so we have to show some attitude, right?"

"Inviting him to dinner at home is already an attitude."

Zhang Mo didn't say more, glanced at the kitchen, and his voice suddenly became smaller:

"Dad, you've really decided?"

Zhang Yimou's smile gradually faded, and he patted the two red books on the coffee table:

"If you have received all the certificates, you can still have fakes."

suddenly paused, and looked at her daughter with some concern:

"Don't you want me to do that?"

After all, getting the certificate is equivalent to officially finding a stepmother for the eldest daughter, not to mention that he will let the status of several children be recognized in the future.

He was worried that his eldest daughter would feel like she had become an outsider.

Zhang Mo touched the old man's twisted eyebrows, put his arm around him, and rested his head on his shoulder:

"No, Dad, I support it. After so many years, I have long felt that you should give your aunt a name, and even younger brothers and sisters should not hide and hide......"

These words made Zhang Yimou breathe a sigh of relief, gently patted his daughter's back, and smiled again.

But the smile didn't last long.

"Dad, did you tell Zhang Weiping about this?" Zhang Mo asked.

Zhang Yimou frowned again:

"I didn't say it, if I told him, he would definitely stop it."

"Why should he stop him? It's our own business! ”

Zhang Mo sat up straight, frowning and retreating from Lao Mouzi:

"Dad, I really don't understand why you're so afraid of him?

I wanted to say it when I was filming "Three Guns", what did you look like he was dragging into the crew? I don't know, I thought it was in the United States, and the producer had the final say.

The key person is that the American producer understands movies, but what about him? What does he know?

interfered with creation, and also yelled at the actors.

Let's just say Brother Songwen, didn't you just agree to sign his company? When he arrived on the set, he changed the script, and the scenes were deleted so much.

Later, Sister Yan Ni was replaced for a reshoot, not to mention giving red envelopes to others to compensate, and at the finale banquet, he also said, 'You only have dozens of words of lines in a play, and you get paid me millions of dollars, and it's too easy to make money'.

That is, Brother Songwen has a good temper, a good old man, smiled and didn't speak, and gave him a toast, asking me to splash the wine on his face directly!

doesn't look at his own virtues, even if Brother Songwen wants to sign the company, he must sign with Qin Muchu, just his new picture, he will be yellow in less than two years without you. “

As the assistant director of "Three Guns", she witnessed almost all of Zhang Weiping's evil deeds in the crew, and she couldn't stand it several times and wanted to stand up, but she was stopped by Lao Mouzi.

Zhang Yimou listened to his daughter's words, and opened his mouth and couldn't defend Zhang Weiping.

These are all facts, including Zhang Songwen's matter, which he later apologized for.

Shaking his head:

"He's easy to get on just a little bit of wine, and his heart is not bad......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Mo didn't interrupt:

"Not bad? Dad, you forgot that grandpa said on his deathbed that you should be careful of him, he is not a good person. ”

“……”

Zhang Yimou was silent, his father did say this to him, the original words were:

"Your cooperation with Zhang Weiping worries me. If you are unhappy in the future, you will be retaliated by him. Your heart is no match for Zhang Weiping. ”

But he didn't take it to heart, he still maintained cooperation with Zhang Weiping over the years, and trusted him heart-to-heart in both work and life.

It wasn't until Qin Muchu's reminder last time in the hospital that he became wary.

Therefore, this time he and Chen Yao did not discuss with Zhang Weiping when they got the marriage certificate.

"Dad, I know that you value feelings and have cooperated for decades, and I feel that it doesn't matter if you endure and let go.

But you love movies, right? ”

Zhang Yimou was stunned by his daughter's words, but he still nodded without hesitation.

Movies are his lifelong career, and it can be said that he has become a family-like existence.

But Zhang Mo denied it:

"But in my opinion, you don't love movies now, you love Zhang Weiping more."

Zhang Yimou was even more confused, and didn't understand what it meant.

Love Zhang Weiping? Where is this?

"I won't talk about anything else in "Three Guns", I don't know you about the movie, so it's not good to comment. But what does it mean that everyone comes to life in the last scene?

This is a movie, did you really shoot it as a sketch?

Even Zhao Benshan thinks this scene is inappropriate, can't you see it? As soon as Zhang Weiping said, did you really agree?

That's what you mean by love movies? ”

A series of questions made Zhang Yimou feel worried.

Before Zhang Weiping said that this is a comedy movie, and in the end, it will be lively and festive, and the audience will be very happy.

He also used this excuse to paralyze himself.

But now it has been pointed out again, under the pressure of her daughter to "love movies", this excuse ...... I couldn't stop being paralyzed.

So, do I really still love movies?

Seeing his father drooping his head, as if he had lost his spirit, Zhang Mo was also a little distressed.

She said so much to wake up her father, not to break her father:

"Dad, you should really think about how to deal with Zhang Weiping's relationship, otherwise one day, you will definitely be ruined by him.

Isn't he just rich? But do you want to make a movie and are you afraid that no one will invest in it? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou shook his head:

"It's not that simple, I think there is no shortage of investment in making movies, but people will definitely have requirements.

Investors outside the circle don't understand anything, and many of them don't have them, so they can't shoot.

It is impossible for companies in the circle to invest money and do nothing, you want to make money if you vote, and it is also not free to stuff actors and ask you to make any kind of movies.

You look at Huayi's Feng Datie, and he wants to make some literary and artistic things to prove himself, but does he have a choice? To make money. ”

"How ......"

Zhang Mo was about to speak, when suddenly the doorbell rang and interrupted her.

"It is estimated that Xiao Qin is here."

Zhang Yimou stood up with a smile on his face.

Zhang Mo wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, his eyes lit up, he changed his words, and ran two steps towards the door:

"I'll go drive!"
