Chapter 358: Get some pocket money
Although it was said to be a small gathering, Qiao Zhiyuan didn't really invite many people.
The main guest for this dinner was Luo Yang, so it would not be appropriate to invite Fu Bin, so only Cai Fujun was brought along.
It can't just be a few grown men drinking, there has to be some pretty girls there too.
So Qiao Zhiyuan brought Luo Qingling with him, and helped Luo Yang call Cao Zixi over. Together with the young girl brought by Cai Fujun, there were six people at one table, which was just right.
"First glass of wine tonight, congratulations to Mr. Luo for his success and huge profits!"
This refers to the fact that Luo Yang invested in "Love Is Not Blind" and obtained a super high return on investment.
The theme of the dinner has been decided.
The last time I talked with Qiao Zhiyuan about things related to film and television, he was quite interested and had been paying attention to Luo Yang's investment in this area.
"Mr. Luo's investment vision is really amazing."
After everyone finished the first glass, Luo Qingling poured herself another glass of wine without stopping.
She drank the wine in one gulp while facing Luo Yang and said, "I didn't take it seriously before, but now the facts have proven it, Mr. Luo, I'll punish myself with a drink!"
This is just adding drama to yourself.
So Luo Yang just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"The investment for the two TV series, "Capital Love Story" and "Kintaro's Happy Life", has been finalized."
Cai Fujun interrupted at this time: "Did Lao Liu tell you?"
"not yet."
Luo Yang smiled and responded: "Maybe there are some details that haven't been discussed yet."
"Which one do you think will be popular?"
Cai Fujun looked at Luo Yang expectantly.
Gee.
Sure enough, the shot exploded once and everyone's eyes were on it.
At this time, Luo Yang was looking forward to big productions like "The Fortress of the Demon City".
As long as an investment fails once and falls from the altar, it will no longer be so eye-catching.
"Brother, I haven't even seen the script yet, and I have no idea what the story is about."
Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I can only judge from the names. The former should be a group portrait urban love drama, and the latter should be a love comedy mixed with family trivialities. I invested purely based on my feelings."
"Depend on!"
Cai Fujun widened his eyes and asked, "You can guess so accurately?"
Oops.
Luo Yang: “.”
"Brother, I don't have any other requests. Just remember to help me get someone into the crew when the time comes."
Cai Fujun winked at Luo Yang, then said to the girl he brought with him, "Why don't you toast Mr. Luo with a glass of wine?"
I introduced her when we sat down before. This girl named Sun Jing is a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy Dance Academy.
"Mr. Luo, thank you for your care. I'll toast to you!"
The girl was also bold enough to drink the large glass of red wine in one gulp. Judging from her calm expression, she was also a tried and tested drinker.
Cai Fujun did not mention the matter of following the investment, he only cared about personal favors and face.
The sense of proportion is just right.
Luo Yang also drank a cup of wine out of respect.
After the little episode, the topic turned to film, television and entertainment.
"Boss Luo, were you satisfied with Hu Ge's signing ceremony last time?"
Qiao Zhiyuan asked this question, firstly to show that he was reliable, and secondly to use this as an opportunity to get into the topic.
Luo Yang knew exactly what he wanted.
“The actual effect feedback is quite good.”
This is the truth. Shang Guozheng responded that up to now, the flagship store in the mall where Hu Ge's signing event was held still has the best business.
“I just don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to participate in Mr. Luo’s investment projects again.”
Qiao Zhiyuan sighed and said: "I used to follow others and always thought it was not difficult to start a company. It was not until I started my own business that I realized how difficult it was."
"Boss Qiao, you must be joking. With your ability and connections, it's just a matter of how much you earn."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "The two TV series that Mr. Cai mentioned just now, my hope of participating is definitely not great. After all, I am just joining in for fun. I can invest in another project, but it will not start filming until the end of this year or next year. If you want to make peripheral products, the earliest will be next year."
"Actually, this movie 'Love Is Not Blind' is also OK."
Qiao Zhiyuan argued: "I've thought about it carefully. There are many classic quotes in this movie. We can print them on mugs or key rings and sell them as peripheral products. While the movie is still on air and the popularity has not dissipated, we should be able to make some money!"
"Mr. Qiao has an extremely broad mindset."
Luo Yang couldn't help but admire that success is indeed not a matter of luck. One must always immerse oneself in it and rack one's brains to find every idea to make money.
Unlike him, he is so relaxed.
"Old Joe, are you still researching this?"
Cai Fujun then helped to add a sentence: "What are the specific classic sentences? Tell us about them?"
Because of the building materials business of the Santai project, he owed Qiao Zhiyuan a lot of favors, so it was normal for him to pay it back now.
Qiao Zhiyuan was well prepared and did it with ease.
"Young boys nowadays, their friendship is worth a thousand pounds, but it is no match for their chest!"
"When you betray someone, you start to doubt your own character."
"Don't be fooled by the fat in this meat. It's fat but not greasy, just like me, fat but not stupid."
"."
As each inspiring quote came out, everyone started laughing.
Only Luo Yang fell into deep thought.
Because of these words, fragments of his memory were suddenly brought back.
Luo Yang remembers that later there was a two-liang bottle of liquor on the market called Jiang Xiaobai, which adopted the innovative marketing method of expression bottle.
The wine is not expensive and it is a brand new brand, but it has achieved remarkable sales results because of this creativity.
This point coincides with Qiao Zhiyuan's idea.
How about earning some pocket money?
In the corner of his eye, Cao Zixi was sitting next to him obediently.
"Mr. Luo?"
"Oh~~~"
Luo Yang came back to his senses, looked at Qiao Zhiyuan and said, "Your reminder just now gave me an idea of how to make money."
The others were fine, but Cai Fujun's eyes lit up immediately. He had seen this many times before, and Luo Yang's business proposals always amazed people, and in fact, he also made a lot of money with them.
So I'm full of expectations.
"Speaking of classic quotes, I have some here too."
Luo Yang was not in a hurry to talk about Jiang Xiaobai's case. He wanted to gain enough prestige first.
"Don't be afraid. Most of the people we meet are just pretending to be great."
“We know a lot of truths, but we often repeat the tragedy.”
"About tomorrow's events. We'll know the day after tomorrow!"
"."
What industry did Qiao Zhiyuan work in before?
Advertising company!
He was particularly sensitive to copywriting, so after hearing these short sentences, he exclaimed "good".
"Mr. Luo, I feel that if you were to become an advertising planner, you would definitely be the best in the industry."
This is true.
Within three to five years, the classic advertising cases memorized by Luo Yang will definitely be enough.
He just laughed it off, indicating that he accepted it calmly.
Then his eyes swept across the faces of Qiao Zhiyuan and Cai Fujun.
"Let's divide this business among the three of us."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "I'll come up with a business plan and get another 300 million, which will give me a 30% stake."
“How much total investment is required?”
Without waiting for Qiao Zhiyuan to speak, Cai Fujun asked.
"Twenty to thirty million is about right."
"Then I'll take 1000 million and own 30% of the shares!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Zhiyuan and said, "Old Qiao, this opportunity cannot be missed. You take the remaining 40%."
"I will also take out 1000 million and own 40% of the shares."
Qiao Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Luo and Boss Cai are both busy, I'll take care of the details!"
In just a few words, a deal worth 2300 million was finalized.
The problem is that apart from Luo Yang, no one knows what project the investment is about.
So everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Yang.
"Mr. Qiao, if it's just a mug or a keychain, the price of the material itself is the price of the selling price. At most, due to the popularity of Love Is Not Blind, it can form a certain popularity in a few months. Once the popularity of the movie fades, this business will fade."
Luo Yang was not in a hurry, and smiled and said: "Love Is Not Blind" can only serve as an introduction to guide a spontaneous heat."
"That's right. After the hype wore off, the sales of film and television peripherals declined sharply."
Qiao Zhiyuan continued, "Unless it's a long-lasting and continuous film and television work like Disney."
"So we need to use another medium to carry these classic sentences."
Luo Yang talked freely: "Lovelor, frustration, frustration, regret. What do people in this emotional state need most?"
He asked and answered himself.
"liquor!"
Luo Yang raised the small wine glass and gently stroked it with three fingers: "Have a glass of wine, and enjoy a period of youth. How can I relieve my worries? Only the wine in the glass!"
"You want to sell liquor?"
Qiao Zhiyuan screamed in surprise, and for a moment he felt numb.
"Go find the waiter and bring a bottle of strong wine."
Luo Yang whispered to Cao Zixi beside him.
Only a minute or two later, Cao Zixi came back jogging with a bottle of Jinjiu in his hand.
"Just use this small package, two taels."
Luo Yang pointed at Jinjiu and said, "On the label of each bottle of wine, the most conspicuous position should be reserved for classic words. If the alcohol content of the wine is lower and the unit price is set at more than ten yuan per bottle, I think there will be a market for it!"
The box was extremely quiet for a moment.
"Will this thing work?"
Even Cai Fujun, who always had confidence in Luo Yang, became a little uncertain.
"How about you take back half of your investment?"
"Haha. I always feel guilty when I'm in a different industry."
Cai Fujun laughed, hiding his embarrassment, and said, "Since you think I can make money, I'll follow you. There's no way I'll back down!"
"We can try it out with Love Is Not Blind, first get the movie's peripheral products, and then use the popularity of the movie to make a batch of such products."
Qiao Zhiyuan thought about it a little more and said, "Bulk liquor is not expensive. I have a friend in Songjiang who is a liquor agent. It costs about 5000 to 8000 yuan per ton. The cost of a 4-liang bottle plus the bottle and packaging can be controlled within yuan per bottle!"
This is a good suggestion.
The original intention was to make peripheral products, and the product was nothing more than changing the mug to two taels of liquor.
"Next to the materials market is the food wholesale market."
Cai Fujun also added: "Liquor sales also need channels. I have a few friends over there who can help."
With a little input from you and me, the framework of this business was set up.
"Boss Luo, I toast you a glass!"
When the discussion was almost over, Qiao Zhiyuan raised his glass and said to Luo Yang: "If this project can be successful, our company's reputation in the industry will skyrocket!"
He is not only interested in the project itself, but also the additional effects that will be brought about once the project is successfully implemented.
No wonder they are willing to take a chance and have a long-term vision.
Of course I have to drink this glass of wine.
Once the atmosphere got good, people started drinking and before they knew it they were drunk.
When the show ended, my steps were a little unsteady.
All thanks to Cao Zixi's support.
I was taken home by this little woman in a daze.
It is necessary to earn pocket money outside the account, especially for men.
There is no other way, Ronaldinho can only rack his brains!
