Chen Xinyao told Chen Feng very directly. This is his personality. Another reason is that he urgently needs to sell Xinyao Film and Television. However, he has not met a suitable buyer in the past two or three months, even if he has come to inquire.
He also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to try his best to lower the price and pick up leaks, which made him exhausted and extremely annoyed.
If he didn't still have a sense of responsibility and consider his reputation and credit, he would have filed for bankruptcy long ago.
Chen Feng saw that he was speaking directly, so he also said it very directly: "Your quotation of 50 million is too outrageous. The most valuable thing your company has now is the copyright of several film and television films it has shot before, but there are only two or three of them."
It was a small hit, so its commercial value is really not high.”
Chen Xinyao quickly said: "We have a film called "Heshan Ling" that we invested more than 20 million yuan to shoot. If we sell it, we can make at least 30 to 40 million yuan."
Chen Feng smiled slightly and said: "As far as I know, your TV series has not passed the review and has not obtained a license yet. The reason why the higher-level department has not passed it, I think has something to do with the subject matter of this TV series, male male
Love, even if you have made many revisions, it is still a bit sensitive, and I think it will be difficult for the higher-level departments to pass it. This TV series will probably rot in the hands of others."
When Chen Xinyao saw that Chen Feng knew it, he sighed with some frustration and said: "This can only mean that our company is unlucky, but this drama does not necessarily fail in our hands. There was a popular drama before that was also adapted from a Tanmei novel. No.
Did it pass the review?
And as far as I know, a similar TV series has successfully passed the review not long ago and has signed a broadcast contract with the Yiqi Video website. It will be broadcast on the website in another month at most.
Therefore, I believe that as long as we can find a good channel, or find people with enough weight to lobby, and make some necessary modifications, our drama will still have a high chance of passing the review and being successfully sold."
What he said was true, and Chen Feng believed it, but in business terms, it was definitely impossible for him to accept the other party's offer of 50 million.
"I came to talk to you with great sincerity, but your offer of 50 million is really outrageous. I won't lie to you. My highest offer is 28 million. This is what I'm looking for.
The maximum estimated value of your company from the most professional asset appraisal company. If it exceeds this price, I can definitely acquire other film companies that are more cost-effective. You know, there are many such film companies in our country now."
"Twenty-eight million is too little!" Chen Xinyao was a little dissatisfied, "Our company has produced more than a dozen film and television dramas before, and their copyrights are worth at least 20 million in total, as well as the "Heshan Order" we just completed.
, the value is more than 20 million, and if it is successfully released, it will be worth at least 30 million, which is also the main basis for my 50 million quotation."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "In that case, the TV series "Heshan Order" can be separated from your company. I don't want it, and it will continue to belong to you. I will spend 20 million to acquire your company."
Chen Xinyao was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
If "Heshan Order" can pass the review and be successfully released and sold, will he still want to sell the company?
It was precisely because he had tried his best and found many ways before, but none of them passed the review. Moreover, a big boss in the review department even publicly criticized their "Heshan Order", saying that the whole drama of "Heshan Order" is full of rancid smell and the theme is not good enough.
Negative and smoky, as long as he is in office, don't even think about this drama.
This finally made Chen Xinyao give up and plan to sell the company.
"You can think about it carefully. I'll give you three days. If you don't reply after three days, I will treat it as if you disagree."
Chen Feng didn't say anything more, stood up and left.
Although this company is the one he most hopes to acquire among the three, it doesn't necessarily have to be it.
Even now that Chen Feng has successfully become the second boss of Dianchuang Culture, his willingness to continue to acquire a film company and become the boss is not as strong as before.
He had worked at Dianchuang Culture for several years and was very familiar with the business of Dianchuang Culture Company, but he knew nothing about the film company and really didn't have much confidence that he could do it well.
What's more important is that he is lazy and doesn't want to work hard for the film company.
After leaving the dimly lit office building, Wu Mengting asked: "Brother, is the price you offered a little low?"
The investigation report is very detailed. The assets of Xinyao Film and Television have been assessed at 40 million. It is not that the "Heshan Order" that has not yet been released is very valuable, but because of the several artist contracts they have, a total of five artists.
, two men and three women, the oldest is only in his thirties. He is a second- and third-tier actor. He has played supporting roles in many film and television dramas. He is considered an experienced actor and his acting skills are very good.
The other two female artists are actresses with professional backgrounds. They have starred in Xinyao Company's film and television dramas before, and they signed long-term contracts by the way. They are also somewhat famous, but they are not exposed enough, so they can barely be regarded as third-tier artists.
The two graduated only a year or two ago, and the oldest is only twenty-five years old. They have good looks and top-notch acting skills.
The investigation report clearly states that they are very optimistic about these two female artists with professional backgrounds. As long as they are given opportunities and sufficient exposure, they have the potential to become popular.
As for the last two male artists, they are the two handsome boys who starred in "Heshan Order". One of them is a male model, 23 years old, and the other is a 22-year-old male artist. They are very popular with fans, especially those who
Female fans are very lethal.
If "Heshan Order" can be successfully released, they will definitely become a hit. Even if this TV series cannot be released, as long as it is properly packaged and promoted, it should have the possibility of becoming a small hit.
The investigation report estimated that the contract value of these five people is at least 15 million. Among them, the two handsome men are the most valuable.
As for the value of the "Heshan Order", the investigation report stated that it is worth at most 5 million, and the possibility of it rotting in your hands must be prepared.
It can be said that this investigation report is really detailed and comprehensive. Wu Mengting is very satisfied with it and believes in it, so she doesn't quite understand Chen Feng's decision to lower the price to 28 million.
According to her understanding, the other party will definitely not sell it at this price, so she will miss out on this company with good qualifications.
"28 million is actually not low." Chen Feng explained briefly, "And I don't have a lot of funds on hand right now. I'll save what I can. It's too expensive, so I might as well buy it from a small film company."
What Chen Feng said is true. Although he made a lot of money from the stock market before, he also spent a lot. He just spent more than 20 million to acquire Dianchuang Culture Company. If he really wants to spend 50 million to acquire this film and television company
, his money is not enough.
He didn't want to continue to steal money from the stock market, so he could only reduce the funds for acquiring film and television companies.
"It seems that it will be difficult for the other party to acquire this company. The price difference between each other is too big."
Wu Mengting said a little disappointed.
"If it doesn't work, forget it. Anyway, there are many film companies, so the worst thing is, we can set up one ourselves. In this case, it should save more money."
"I'm just afraid that it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gain would outweigh the loss."
"We're not in a hurry, and I don't expect to make money from the film company. As long as we don't lose too much money, it's just fun."
"Are you setting up a movie company just for fun?"
"Yeah, isn't it fun to make movies and TV shows? I can make the novels you write in the future."
"……Thanks."
Of course Wu Mengting had had such a wish in her heart for a long time. This time Chen Feng planned to acquire a film and television company, so she had a vague impulse, hoping that her novel could be adapted into a film and television drama and broadcast on the screen in the future.
Now that Chen Feng said it directly, she really couldn't refuse.
Seeing her serious expression of thanks, Chen Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, and said with a smile: "You are determined to be my woman. As your man in the future, I will certainly not be stingy. I will help you realize your dream."
It’s my wish to make it into a film and TV series.”
Wu Mengting somewhat enjoyed his intimate behavior. When she heard his words, she felt a little moved at the same time. She wondered if he wanted to acquire the film and television company just to help me realize my dream. The more I thought about it, the more likely it was that it was possible.
, and my heart became more and more moved.
After the two went back, Chen Feng put the acquisition of the film and television company into the back of his mind for the time being and waited for Chen Xinyao's reply in three days. Of course it would be good if he agreed with Chen Feng's quotation. If he disagreed, Chen Feng wouldn't care at all.
Let's turn our attention to the other two companies.
He is not worried about the other two being bought by others. One is that there are not many people buying film companies, and the other two companies also have debt problems.
Besides, even if the other two companies are acquired, there are still other options. As mentioned before, the worst case scenario is to spend money to establish one yourself.
Wu Mengting was more concerned and started to get in touch with the other two companies, sent them acquisition intentions, and asked them to make quotations.
However, although the two companies on the other side have the intention to sell, the quotations are obviously a bit high. If you want to lower the price, you must continue to follow up the meeting and negotiate. Chen Feng is too lazy to go in person for the time being, and Wu Mengting, the assistant, cannot make up his mind.
We can only wait for the results from Xinyao Film and Television.
In Wu Mengting's view, it was impossible for Xinyao to agree to Chen Feng's quotation, but only one day later, on the third day after they met, Chen Xinyao took the initiative to contact her and said that the price could be negotiated, but the price of 28 million was too high.
too low.
Wu Mengting told Chen Feng, and after Chen Feng thought about it for a while, he increased the price to 30 million. Originally, this was considered his psychological price. At the same time, he said that if the other party couldn't accept this price, then there really was no need to negotiate.
After Wu Mengting expressed her intention, Chen Xinyao was silent for a long time. Finally, he said that he would think about it again and asked her to wait for the call.
Then, only half an hour later, the other party called again and agreed to the offer of 30 million.
The reason why Chen Xinyao agreed to this low bid was simple: creditors came to his door. One of their company's major debtors, a commercial bank, directly sued their company and asked the court to freeze their company's assets for auction, and several others.
Several units also began to sue them for debts, and employees and crew members who were owed wages also called every day to demand payment.
Chen Xinyao and the other three small shareholders of the company couldn't stand it any longer. Otherwise, the result waiting for their company would be that the assets of their company were frozen and then auctioned. By then, they would definitely lose everything.
Now that 30 million is sold, after they have paid off nearly 20 million in debt, they still have at least 10 million left to divide.
After Chen Xinyao agreed, Chen Feng took the professional lawyer he hired and Wu Mengting and went directly to sign the contract.
When he saw Chen Xinyao again, his expression was even more dejected. He smiled bitterly and said to Chen Feng: "I can tell you responsibly that if you buy my company at this price, you will definitely make a profit and I will definitely lose. But
This is fate, I believe in fate."
So, things went so smoothly, and Chen Feng basically bought the company based on his psychological price.
After signing the contract, go to the bank to transfer the money, and leave all the remaining matters to Wu Mengting and her lawyers, including repaying the original company's debt, re-recruiting employees of the film and television company, changing the name of the film and television company, etc.
After he signed the signature and transferred the money, he went to have a tryst with Zhang Yuxi.
Zhang Yuxi came to Xiuzhou two days ago to participate in several local business activities. She was free today, and she could only stay here for one more day at most, and then she would fly out early tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Chen Feng certainly did not want to waste time.
This time, the place they chose for their tryst was the ancient villa hotel where Chen Feng and Xiao Ya stayed last time. The environment was pleasant and very quiet. It used to be an ancient village, and the houses were all ancient buildings. This time he rented an independent building.
Courtyard villa.
He paid for it, but the person living there was Zhang Yuxi.
The two met in this ancient courtyard villa. There was no one else. It was just afternoon, the sun was warm and the temperature was comfortable.
Chen Feng didn't come up and said anything in a hurry. Instead, he sat with her at the stone table in the yard. There was a tea set on the table.
Watch her tea art performance and then drink tea with her.
Chen Feng drank a small cup in one gulp, smacked his lips and said, "The tea from the hotel's own tea garden really tastes very ordinary, with a bit of bitterness."
This hotel renovated from an ancient village is surrounded by many tea gardens, which are the property of the hotel. The hotel hires its own people to pick and make tea, and gives it to the guests staying there to taste.
Zhang Yuxi heard Chen Feng's words and said with a smile: "You are a little confused now. The tea produced in the tea gardens here is of course not as good as those famous teas. What is rare is the natural wild flavor. Although it is a bit bitter, it is bitter.
If you order something sweet, it's considered top quality. The most important thing is that you can't buy it outside."
Chen Feng said frankly: "I know nothing about tea ceremony. Rather than tasting tea, I prefer tasting people, especially a beauty like you."
Zhang Yuxi burst into laughter, looking very happy.
Chen Feng also looked at her with a smile.
After she finished laughing, she looked at Chen Feng with a bit of joking and said, "Brother Feng, you are pretending to be romantic, but I know you are not a truly romantic person."
Chen Feng was stunned and asked: "Why do you say that?"
"If you are a truly romantic person, you will definitely be elegant in front of me instead of pretending to be vulgar like you." Zhang Yuxi said firmly.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I am a vulgar person to begin with."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed her delicate hand, pulled her over roughly, and kissed the back of her hand.
Zhang Yuxi just looked at him with a slight smile, without any sign of anger. The dappled sunlight shining through the swaying leaves was reflecting on her beautiful, smooth and jade-like face, which was as bright as peach blossoms and as bright as snow.
