Chapter 162: Too Pretty
The result of this meeting obviously made Jia Yueting a little disappointed. After the meeting ended and Huo Siyan and Gan Wei were sent away, he began to complain to Xu Kun about Huayi Brothers' short-sightedness.
He said that the future will inevitably be the Internet era, and if companies like Huayi Brothers stick to their old ways, even if they are not eliminated, they are destined to miss the next trend.
Xu Kun didn’t know whether Huayi could catch up with the next trend, but Jia Yueting should have caught up with it, but eventually fell from the cusp of the wave.
Unfortunately, he didn't know the details of Jia Yueting's fall, otherwise, based on their current friendship, he would definitely have given Jia Yueting a warning.
However, even if Jia Yueting fell, he still lived a superior life outside.
There's no need to worry about him.
Just as he was thinking about something else, Jia Yueting suddenly reached out and put his arm around Xu Kun's shoulders, saying affectionately: "This time, the total investment in setting up LeTV is 50 million. I will take 5 million and hold % of the shares. If you are willing to participate, I can give you % from my share."
Although Jia Yueting's remarks just now were meant to give Xu Kun a way out, he did value Xu Kun's forward-looking vision - even those suggestions that were rejected by him were mostly because they were too advanced and could not be achieved at present.
"This……"
Xu Kun hesitated, because he didn't know when Jia Yueting was caught, so he didn't want to be tied to Jia Yueting.
But LeTV's original shares are definitely a great investment in the next ten years. This carrot dangling at one's lips is really tempting.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it! Brother Jia, you want to help me get rich, but I'm a difficult brother, so can you push me away? My entire fortune depends on you, Brother Jia!"
"Hahaha~"
Jia Yueting laughed loudly, patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. As long as we can make it to the second round of financing, we can make a small profit. If we can make it to the third round, we can double it. If we can make it to the IPO - hehe, then we brothers will be rich!"
Then Jia Yueting gave Xu Kun another shot of prevention. Now Xu Kun's original shares are 5%, but when it comes to subsequent financing, he will either increase his capital and shares - which depends on whether the board of directors agrees - or its shares will be diluted.
But even if it was diluted to 1%, as long as it could hold out until the listing, it would definitely make a lot of money, at least several million - because there was no reference, at this time Jia Yueting gave LeTV's future valuation of around billion.
Back to the newly rented apartment.
Xu Kun couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Although he had saved up 20 million yuan for the game before, that was other people's money. Now he had to invest one million yuan of his own real money. It was a bit unbelievable when he thought about it.
Fortunately, it is a business that is sure to make money, so there is no need to worry too much.
It's just about buying a car...
I don’t know if there will be any other advertisements coming to me.
Just when Xu Kun was thinking about random things, he received a call from Jiang Yiyan.
"Brother Kun~"
Jiang Yiyan asked curiously, "How was things this afternoon? Did you agree on Sister Si Yan's joining Huayi?"
"It's a deal, I guess."
Xu Kun said: "Huayi doesn't have any suitable work for the time being, but Wang Zhonglei agreed to arrange a suitable role for her as soon as possible after signing the contract."
"Oh~"
Jiang Yiyan said with a slightly sour tone: "I have to call and congratulate Sister Si Yan later - how did you talk about it at that time? Who was at the dinner?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?"
Xu Kun asked suspiciously, "Do you also want to join Huayi?"
"Me? I'm not in a hurry. I'll listen to you. Anyway, it's only my junior year, and I still have two years to graduate!"
Jiang Yiyan quickly expressed her loyalty, and then explained: "School will start in half a month, I want to know what the big guys in the circle are like, so that I can brag to others when school starts."
Anyway, there was nothing shameful to talk about during the meal, so Xu Kun finally satisfied her curiosity and told her everything that happened during the meal.
Jiang Yiyan then realized that Xu Kun had played a minor role in the crew that Li Bingbing was in. When she heard that Jia Yueting was chatting and laughing with the two Wangs, and even took the initiative to help Xu Kun out of trouble, Jiang Yiyan couldn't help but wonder, "Is Mr. Jia so powerful? Why did I hear people say that the money he invested was all fleeced from the coal bosses?"
"He who can fleece the coal bosses and stop them from interfering with the crew, can he be a simple person? Besides, Brother Jia has recently used his connections in his hometown - if they really fight, the Huayi brothers may not be able to defeat him."
Jiang Yiyan was immediately concerned when she heard this and asked, "How is Gan Wei doing recently?"
"Don't worry about Gan Wei. She has been shopping and watching movies with Huo Siyan every day these days. They have become good sisters who can talk about anything."
Damn it, I’m one step late again!
Jiang Yiyan regretted it deeply. She and Gan Wei got along quite well on the crew, but they saw each other less and less after the filming.
Of course, even if Huo Siyan came out on top, it wouldn't affect her and Gan Wei's continued close relationship - it would be a bit abrupt to go directly to her house now, and it wouldn't be too late to renew their relationship when "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" holds its celebration party in a few days.
However, what Jiang Yiyan cares most about is always our brother Kun.
At present, the aftereffects of "A Date with Lu Yu" are still continuing to ferment. The most obvious evidence is that Xu Kun has only taken the initiative to look for her a few times, while Huo Siyan follows Xu Kun all day long.
In order to reverse the situation, Jiang Yiyan decided to come up with a surprise strategy.
She has now used her connections to get the list of freshmen and basic information of the 04 class of Beijing Film Academy, and is waiting to return to school at the end of August to find a suitable "helper" for herself.
Finding out these "big boss secrets" in advance is also to have more bargaining chips when the time comes.
hum~
Huo Siyan got into Huayi with the help of Brother Kun, and he used her as a typical example to fool his schoolmates. This is called a win-win situation!
In fact, Jiang Yiyan also thought about moving from level 01 to level 03, but those who were unable to stand out and wanted to move up have basically already made it - for example, Huang Shengyi, who suddenly became a star girl this year, and even temporarily overshadowed Liu Yifei.
The rest were either ugly, lacked ambition, or were too shrewd. Jiang Yiyan was worried that she couldn't control them.
She wanted to find a helper for herself, not someone to replace herself!
Therefore, the best option is to find a breakthrough from the new school girl who is inexperienced in the world.
In order to expand the scope of selection, Jiang Yiyan even found Tang Wei and asked her to help her keep an eye out for the freshmen of Class 04 of the Central Academy of Drama.
Of course, she would not tell the truth to Tang Wei. The reason she gave was that Xu Kun rejected Huayi's invitation and intended to set up a small-scale film and television company on his own, so he asked her to see in advance whether there were any suitable talents so that she could sign them to the company.
Tang Wei had known about her relationship with Xu Kun for a long time, so she did not doubt anything and used her connections to get the list of freshmen of the 04 class of the Central Academy of Drama.
Then she strongly recommended one of them to Jiang Yiyan.
"Not to mention that this little girl is beautiful, she is from a minority ethnic group in a border area, so she is more memorable than ordinary people. Moreover, she is from a song and dance troupe..."
"no!"
Before Tang Wei could finish, Jiang Yiyan decisively rejected the idea: "She's too pretty!"
Tang Wei was stunned: "So you want to find someone ugly?"
"Even ugly ones are not allowed!"
Jiang Yiyan shook her head again.
"So what kind are you looking for?"
"Well, at least not too pretty, and not too ugly."
Jiang Yiyan made an OK gesture with her thumb and index finger not joined together: "It would be best if the person is simple and not as good looking as me."
Tang Wei: “…”
This company seems to have no future.
