After getting her inner thoughts from Li Youqing, Jiangbei was delighted and accelerated the process of acquiring the film and television company.
The reason why you don't choose to set up your own film and television company is that to register a film and television company, you must apply for a "Film Production License" from Radio and Television, which may take a long time.
Secondly, there are no existing resources, so some personnel within the company need to be recruited.
This way of going back and forth, just the running-in period will take a lot of time, and it is far less simple and quick than directly acquiring a company.
In fact, there are so many film and television companies owned by Azure Star that it is relatively easy to find a company suitable for acquisition.
So after several days of screening, Jiangbei chose a film and television company that had been losing money for many years.
Yihe (Blue) Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Registered capital is 30 million.
Company legal person: Li Shushu.
Directors signed under the company's name: 1.
Artists signed under the company's name: 2 third-tier actors, 5 third-tier singers, 16 unknown actors, singers, and a yet-to-debut girl group.
Company employees: 52 people.
Business conditions: A loss of 5 million in the first year and a loss of 20 million in the second year. (Part of the reason for the loss in the second year was that the investment in 2 film and television dramas failed to make back the money, and one of them, "Youji", lost 10 million.)
Listing price: Package all the company's artists and company resources for sale at a price of 10 million.
In other words, apart from the resources and artists on hand, this company currently has very little liquidity left.
If it does not inject capital or seek a buyer, the only way out is to declare bankruptcy.
Jiangbei is still satisfied with the price.
The money is not much, and the company is well-established internally. As long as you buy it yourself, you can directly start a new movie project.
The only worry is that there are a lot of artists and it’s not easy to arrange.
After all, he doesn't want to develop this company, so he can't bring more and better resources to these artists, which will easily delay the artists' future.
“It’s better to buy it first and then talk about it.”
Shaking his head, Jiangbei began to contact Li Shushu, the owner of Yihe Company.
…
Two days later.
On the 9th floor of Hongtu Building, in the office area of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd., two ladies at the company's front desk were chatting.
"It's so annoying...I guess I'll have to start looking for a job again in a while."
"Just get used to it. It's easy to find a job in our industry anyway, so we won't starve to death."
"But you may not be able to find as good a salary as we have here. You know, the salary at the front desk is already low."
"Brother Fan has asked me to work with him as his assistant, how about you come too?"
"Brother Fan, have you found a new home?"
"That's about right. Now we're just waiting for the company to go bankrupt and save money."
"The boss is here."
The conversation stopped instantly, and the two stood up at the same time to say hello: "Good morning, boss."
Li Shushu smiled and nodded, but he was not alone. There was a man wearing a mask beside him.
"Go and inform all the artists that there will be a meeting at half past nine."
After giving instructions, Li Shushu walked in wearing a mask and hat, leaving the ladies at the front desk with puzzled faces.
"Are you going to declare bankruptcy today?"
"I guess so. Who is the man with the mask? The boss seems to be very polite to him."
"Will he be a star?"
"Or maybe the boss has found a buyer?"
With uneasy hearts, the ladies at the front desk informed the news.
Nine thirty on time.
The conference room of Yihe Film and Television Company was full of people.
Mask man, boss, director, artist, all gathered together.
"Is everyone here?" Li Shushuang asked the assistant on the side after receiving the signal from the masked man.
The assistant flipped through the record book and nodded: "No one is absent."
This is also normal.
The company is currently on the verge of bankruptcy, and it has no resources to provide its artists. So, regardless of how many artists it has, in fact, everyone is currently idle.
very good.
Li Shushu nodded with satisfaction.
The company was still very united and did not abandon the company when it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
In this way, the bragging in front of the new boss can be considered realized.
"Recently, the company's operations have been in trouble, which has had a certain impact on everyone's work. The purpose of gathering everyone today is to tell everyone that the company's difficulties have been resolved."
As soon as Li Shushu finished speaking, warm applause erupted in the conference room.
For the vast majority of artists, they definitely hope that the company can continue to work. After all, it is not easy to change jobs these days.
Of course, everyone present knew clearly why the company's difficulties were resolved.
The masked man sitting in the main seat who never spoke was probably the new owner of Yihe.
Sure enough, after the applause stopped, Li Shushuang began to introduce the mask man to everyone.
"This Mr. Jiang has invested in the acquisition of Yihe, so from today on, Mr. Jiang is our boss. Everyone is welcome!"
"Wow~"
Applause rang out again, and the enthusiasm was high.
The man with the mask is naturally Jiangbei. It took him two days to successfully acquire Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.
As for why we wear masks, it is to avoid accidents that may expose ourselves as much as possible.
In fact, he originally didn't want to show up today, but the company had many artists to deal with, so he still chose to go.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei coughed lightly.
The scene became quiet again, and everyone looked at him and this strange new boss.
"I am very happy to accept Yihe, and I am also happy to meet you all. However, out of a responsible attitude towards everyone, I want to explain something to you next, and I hope you can consider it carefully."
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.
The artists began to feel uneasy.
Jiang Bei had no idea. He was flipping through the information of the company's artists and continued: "The company is still in a serious loss stage, so until the situation is completely reversed, the resources invested in everyone will be limited, or even non-existent."
Don’t give resources!
The artists looked at each other with surprise.
For an artist, the most important thing when they sign a contract with a film and television company is the resources the company brings. If there are no resources provided, why would the artist choose to join?
"So everyone can consider it. If there is a better choice, Yihe will terminate the contract with you free of charge."
This is the purpose of coming to Jiangbei.
There are a total of 30 artists under Yihe, including directors. It is impossible for him to take care of so many people, and he also does not want to waste their precious time.
Letting go is the best fulfillment.
There was silence in the conference room.
The artists obviously did not expect that the new boss would lay off the artists on the first day he took office!
This doesn't seem to fit the script.
According to convention, capitalists should make some big moves after acquiring a film and television company.
If you don't understand, you won't understand. Since the boss said this, there is no possibility of taking it back.
In fact, for some artists, they have already found their next home.
"Everyone can think about it slowly. If you have any ideas, just ask General Manager Li to propose them. Yihe will unconditionally agree to terminate the contract at any time."
These were the last words left by Jiangbei Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Company.
It is precisely because of this sentence that Yihe Film and Television Company has become the only film and television company in China where artists can take the initiative to terminate the contract at any time without being liable for breach of contract.
