Chapter 77 This is not a coal boss. This is simply an angel.
"General, can you leave your name?"
"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
Watching the conversation on TV between King Liu Tian and Zhu Wuwu, who was wearing a flying saucer helmet... no, Cao Cao, Wei Yang couldn't help but marvel.
Although Li Rengang's historical portrayal and plot are a mess, he still has a lot of skills to become one of the representative directors in Hong Kong.
This person is very good at shooting some climax clips. If you ignore the background and plot, these clips are very impressive when viewed alone. So many of Li Rengang's clips have become popular in short videos in later generations.
Liu Tianwang's "Seeing the Dragon Disarms" is one of them, as are "The Banquet at Hongmen", "The Royal Guards" and "Heavenly Generals".
Without thinking too hard, Wei Yang had a pretty good impression of this movie.
But Xiao Zhao wasn't too interested. He nestled in Wei Yang's arms, holding his laptop and playing the newly popular "Farm".
The two of them were busy with their own affairs, and the atmosphere was quite warm, until Wei Yang received a phone call.
"Director Zheng is back?...Okay, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhao had already put down the computer and hugged him reluctantly.
"Got to go?"
Wei Yang pinched her cheek and coaxed: "Be good, I'll do my business first, and I'll come back to you when I'm done."
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."
Xiao Zhao let go of Wei Yang and took the initiative to get up and go to the bedroom: "You buy the ticket, and I'll pack your luggage."
Wei Yang's luggage was not heavy, so Xiao Zhao packed it quickly. When he came out, in addition to the suitcase, he also took out a bank card and stuffed it into Wei Yang's hand.
"This is?"
Wei Yang was a little confused, and Xiao Zhao explained: "Aren't you short of money? This is my card, and the password is my birthday."
"Who told you I was short of money?"
Wei Yang did not hide the fact that he wanted to take over Blue Whale from Xiao Zhao, but he did not disclose the details very much. Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at him and snorted softly.
"You didn't say it, but it's not like I didn't hear you calling someone. It's the loan and it's the boss's. Any fool knows what's going on."
Wei Yang touched the card in his hand and was a little curious: "How much is there in the card?"
"Almost 100,000, I saved all the money in it, and asked my parents for some. It may not be of much help, but I can only take out so much."
Xiao Zhao also knew that his little money might not be enough for Wei Yang, but it was better to be able to help than to just watch from the sidelines.
Wei Yang looked at Xiao Zhao who was settling the accounts on his fingers, and didn't know what to say: "Aren't you afraid that I will lose everything?"
"Then I'll earn it back."
Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly at Wei Yang: "I have confidence in you, and I'm still waiting for you to rescue me from the sea of suffering in Huayi."
Wei Yang was not pretentious. He put the card away carefully, hugged Xiao Zhao and kissed him: "Don't worry, I guarantee this is definitely the wisest investment in your life."
…
After saying goodbye to Xiao Zhao who was reluctant to leave, Wei Yang flew back to the Magic City that afternoon, met Xia Cong first, and then took the initiative to meet with Director Zheng.
After careful calculation, Wei Yang had not seen Director Zheng for half a year.
Lao Zheng has not lost weight, he has even gained a little weight, but his hair is slightly gray, and his overall condition is not bad. When he saw Wei Yang, he took him to the pedicure shop to have his feet massaged.
"Ah~"
Director Zheng lay on the massage chair, hummed comfortably, and sipped hot tea: "The technicians in this magical city are better than those in my hometown."
"The ones in Beijing are also good. If you have a chance next time, I invite you to try them."
"You are not honest. Didn't you say you went to the capital to film? You are not afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi."
"Regular massages, actors and actresses have gone there, what should I be afraid of?"
"Yeah, but be careful when you go out. Who knows if someone might set a trap for you."
"..."
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two still had a lot to talk about. Wei Yang also combined his words and the information he had learned before to make a rough judgment on Director Zheng's current situation.
Director Zheng suffered a big setback this time because of the financial crisis, which can be said to have severely damaged his vitality.
And the most important thing is not how much money was lost, but the turmoil within the family, which also affected several key businesses.
Therefore, Lao Zheng has been sitting in his hometown for some time, and has consciously shrunk the business territory. Except for a few core companies, he plans to give up or sell all others.
The blue whale is one of them!
Fortunately for Wei Yang, Director Zheng was not very willing to sell.
The main reason is that you won't be able to find a suitable buyer for a while, and the various negotiations are very troublesome.
Director Zheng was anxious to sort out various assets, not wanting Blue Whale to waste too much time. At first, he even planned to withdraw the funds, sell the rest if possible, and dissolve the company.
This provided a lot of convenience for Wei Yang to take over.
To be honest, if there is a strong competitor, Wei Yang's chances of winning are really low.
But now that there is no competition from the outside, internally Wei Yang has roped in an important ally, Xia Cong, and Director Zheng is eager to solve the problem. The situation is great.
…
After the round of foot pinching was over, Wei Yang asked the technician to go out first. After thinking about it for a while, he started talking about business.
"Director Zheng, I won't hide it from you. I have something to discuss with you this time."
"I know."
Director Zheng patted his belly and looked at Wei Yang with interest: "Mr. Xia told me that you want to take over Blue Whale?"
"yes."
Wei Yang understood Dong Zheng's character and didn't make too many twists and turns when talking about business.
"I have always planned to start a business. Blue Whale is suitable in all aspects, and it is a company that I have watched grow. I feel it would be a pity if it were disbanded or handed over to others, so I wanted to give it a try."
Director Zheng asked curiously: "Have you thought about it, this is not a small amount, and running a company is not a simple matter."
"I know it's not easy."
Wei Yang revealed the truth: "I have some savings of my own, and I found some channels to borrow some, and collected some money. In addition, I used 20% of the shares + the same annual salary to stabilize Mr. Xia..."
Blue Whale has limited assets, and the most valuable ones are its team of employees and the copyrights to its two TV series.
However, in Wei Yang's view, Xia Cong's channels are also crucial.
Wei Yang has no shortage of content, but channel distribution is a weak point. Even if he gets investment to make a TV series, it will be over if he can't sell it. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Xia Cong and even buys 1/5 of the shares.
Xia Cong has done a good job at Blue Whale, and if he could stay, he wouldn't want to leave.
Although Wei Yang is not as rich as Director Zheng, Xia Cong also has a certain understanding of his abilities and potential, and still has some expectations. In addition, Wei Yang promises to win over him with huge profits, and he is willing to gamble with Wei Yang.
one time.
"Very courageous."
Zheng Donggao glanced at Wei Yang. He was not surprised by Xia Cong's choice. The annual salary remained unchanged and he got 20% of the shares. It was normal to take a gamble.
But Wei Yang actually staked all his wealth, took on a lot of foreign debt, and took on all the business pressure.
If the deal goes bad, Xia Cong will just waste a few years and get some salary, and Wei Yang might have to pay for it for the rest of his life.
What Director Zheng understood, Wei Yang himself could actually see clearly.
But he can't win over others without spending a lot of money, and having said that, he will be the worst loser, and he will get the lion's share of the win. Wei Yang is usually steady and restrained, and he is not ambiguous at critical moments.
How can you swallow an elephant with a snake and try your best!
Moreover, Wei Yang knew where his greatest advantage was. In his eyes, the risks in this desperate situation could still be relatively controlled.
Looking at Lao Zheng's thumb, Wei Yang smiled: "Young people, sometimes you have to see how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."
"well said."
Director Zheng laughed loudly: "This sentence has the same demeanor as when I was young. Gentlemen are alive in this world and cannot live in cowardice for the rest of their lives. You have to fight when you have to."
After drinking up the herbal tea in the cup at hand, Director Zheng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Speaking of which, the success of Blue Whale as a company is thanks to you and Lao Xia.
Yu Gong, I can rest assured that this company will be left to you two, and it will be worthy of the employees. Yu Private, I think you are a good boy, and we two brothers have hit it off. If you want to take over, I can't stop you."
Wei Yang's face lit up with joy, and when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Director Zheng.
"Logically speaking, if you, as a younger brother, start a business, your elder brother should help you more, but you also know my current situation. I have more than enough ambition but insufficient strength, but I can't help but express..."
Dong Zheng paused and smiled heartily: "I have use for the money on the book, so I have to take it away, but I don't want the transfer fee. It's my opening gift to you."
"This is too expensive, Director Zheng, I..."
"Not as much as you think."
Director Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Most of the profits from "Orange in Huainan" have been cleared. The copyright is of no use to me. The rest is nothing more than rent, tables, chairs and computers. I can sell them.
It’s only a few bucks, so I might as well give it to you.”
He said it simply, but Wei Yang couldn't think like that.
There is still less than half a year to rent the Blue Whale house. This amount alone is worth hundreds of thousands, and the other miscellaneous things add up to a lot of money.
As for the copyrights of those two dramas, they are even more valuable. The bulk of the short-term income is indeed gone, but if you can't hold it back, you can continue to make money. If you accumulate it over a long period of time, the amount will be very considerable.
Not to mention, the copyrights of these two dramas also carry IP value to a certain extent, and the changes in this implicit value are even harder to estimate.
Wei Yang's mood was a little complicated. His initial contact with Lao Zheng was very utilitarian. Even when he took over the Blue Whale, it was hard to say that he was not plotting against him behind the scenes.
He didn't expect that he would be treated as one of his own. This operation was equivalent to giving him a company for free.
"Director Zheng..."
"Hey, hey, don't give me those mean words, I can't stand it."
Director Zheng held his big belly in his hands and smiled obscenely: "If you really want to thank me, I will come to the Magic City later and treat you well."
When Wei Yang heard this, he smiled: "I didn't say anything. I'll give you a call from now on. The best place and the highest standards."
"This is a good brother!"
Director Zheng hugged Wei Yang, with a bright smile on his fat face: "Don't call me Director Zheng, it's too new. From now on, I will call you Brother Zheng. Don't worry, your brother will help people to the end. I know you are tight on money. I will introduce you to a few later."
I know my friends, and they are all good people who are not short of money."
Wei Yang was so moved that he almost shed tears. This is not a coal boss. He is simply an angel who has gained a lot of weight.
Without saying anything, Wei Yang patted his chest. He invited guests to the nightclub to sing karaoke. He ordered wine and girls as he pleased. If he didn't keep his old brother company with him today, his name would be written upside down...
