Mr. Pan read the project document and then made a few calls. Everyone was waiting for her to see how she reviewed it on site.
Soon, a risk control team specializing in the entertainment sector came into the conference room. Each of them had a laptop and analyzed the project, which was called Xingmei Entertainment.
This was the first time that the project manager present looked at the risk control review project. He was typing on the keyboard and sending text messages, and soon the risk control team members left.
Mr. Pan looked at everyone and said: "This project does not seem to have any risks and can be passed directly. I have not found any useful information so far, but generally projects that go very smoothly are risky and require further follow-up."
Chen Shi looked at Mr. Pan and said: "Mr. Pan is right. We have to be more cautious about projects that have no problems, because there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world. I know a thing or two about this company, because
I have also worked in entertainment-related jobs.
First of all, this major shareholder, Jiang Wu, do you know what he does? Jiang Wu started out as a micro-businessman. In the past few years, micro-business was a very profitable industry, and it made quick money, but it is no longer viable.
Jiang Wu, who is used to making quick money, cannot follow the rules to do long-term and stable projects and make slow money safely. He also does short videos, but making money in this area is much slower than making money through micro-business before.
Too many people are staring at this cake.
Jiang Wu found another project, a very big project. He wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but he did not want to follow the traditional methods of entering the entertainment industry.
He chose a method that ensured profits without losing money, deceiving investors, deceiving more viewers, and even deceiving the family members of everyone here. Why am I so clear about this?
Because after I have been in contact with this person several times, I know that there is something fishy here. It’s normal that you can’t see it, because it is very difficult to investigate this and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I want to ask Manager Wang Kaige, are you
How long have you been following this project?”
Wang Kaige was a little at a loss when asked, "It's been a year."
Chen Shi looked at Wang Kaige and continued to ask: "Do you know the problem here?"
Wang Kaige was suddenly speechless. He didn't know what Chen Shi meant. Chen Shi looked at him and smiled and said: "Let me put it bluntly, do you know that he has a problem here? To be more blunt, have you accepted it?"
Jiang Wu’s kickback.”
"No! I didn't." Wang Kaige objected.
Chen Shi looked at Wang Kaige and said, "It's fine if you don't have it. If you have it, you will be in danger. His project is likely to run into problems soon.
This Jiang Wu opened 30 movie theaters all over the country with an investment of 10 million yuan per movie city, 300 million yuan. His actual investment was less than 10 million yuan. He opened the first movie city first, and then went to find
Banks and private lending companies provide mortgage loans to open a second cinema, and use the money from the second cinema to borrow money from private companies. This means borrowing money once in a city, and then using the money borrowed from the second cinema to open a third cinema.
Then go to the receptionist for a mortgage and return the borrowed money to the first theater with the interest on the loan.
One after another, he invested 50 million himself. What was this 50 million? After opening 30 stores, he borrowed more than 300 million and used the 50 million to repay the interest.
Once it arrives, the creditor will not think there is any problem.
Then Jiang Wu set up an entertainment company to make movies. He already had 30 theaters. He went to the directors and actors and told them that he had 30 theaters to shoot a movie, which could guarantee box office and broadcasts.
I went to the investor and told him that there was a cinema with well-known directors and actors. After getting the advance payment from the investor, I went on to work on the second film project. I negotiated a share-sharing system with the director and actors. I won’t pay you any fees.
Thirty movie theaters cover all the details, ensuring you make some money.
Soon he had ten film projects in hand. He took these projects to advertisers and earned another batch of deposits. This went back and forth, and he had more than 100 million in hand. With this one more
Billion, he went to open twenty more movie theaters. Where are these movie theaters opened? Have you noticed?
They are all in towns and counties. If it is opened in a good shopping mall in the urban area, 10 million is not enough. It is even said that it is in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. But another problem arises. He opens movie theaters like crazy, produces movie projects, and then
Don’t you still want to make money?
Doesn't he like to make quick money? Why is it so slow this time? It's very simple. He also wants to find investors to buy shares in his company. For example, if he finds us and wants us to raise one billion, we will give the one billion to
If he gets it, he can use it to pay off all the debts and still have a few hundred million left, but these properties are his, and the money is still not enough for him to play with.
He will continue to open movie theaters and make movies. When a base reaches its peak, everyone knows that this company has many projects and theaters, and has gained trust in his company. Then it will go public. This is what he wants.
.
After going public, if nothing happens, he may be worth tens of billions in an instant, and then cash out like crazy and exit, leaving us with a mess.
Let’s talk about the bugs in his project. First, all of his movie theaters now have debts, which means they need a sum of money to fill the holes. But this money is not from the bank, but from the private lending company, the interest is
It’s not low, and all film and television projects are now in the preparation stage. There is a crew that is actually starting work, but do you know? This crew has been working for almost a year and has not finished filming a movie.
The director is not Wang Jiawei, so why does it take so long to shoot? Because there is no money. To make a movie, you need a lot of real money to spend on extras, props, food, drink, and accommodation. This money cannot be faked, so Jiang Wu will not continue.
I am expanding my electric cinema and am looking for investment.
Secondly, as I said, most of the cinemas he opens are in towns and counties, and in some areas the actual investment is less than 10 million, with only two or three halls, and each hall only has 20 or 30 seats. How can this be done?
?This is a cover-up to make money.
There are even movie theaters in some areas that were originally owned by individuals. They gave people one million a year and asked them to change the door to that of their company, just to cope with the random inspections by our investors. No matter how you go, you can't find any problems.
of.
He has probably rehearsed this plan many times. He even hired a group of people to do spot checks. If he saw anything that was unqualified, he would rectify it himself. No matter how we checked, we couldn't find any problems. It's not just us, 90% of them
Five venture capital firms are easily fooled by him.
Why did he come to us? First, one billion, taken out in one go, eliminated 95% of the current venture capital companies. This is real cash flow, leaving 5% of the investment companies.
It requires an inspection period, which can be as short as three to five months or as slow as one or two years. That’s why I asked Wang Kaige, do you see the problem?
If I guess correctly, your project has not been followed up for a year, maybe only a few months, and the other party is so eager to find investment, it already shows that his capital chain is broken, and he is in urgent need of money to continue his life, three months,
If he cannot get the life-saving money within three months at most, his life will be in danger. He owes so much money, and it is very likely that his own money will also be involved. If his money can continue to maintain interest, then his life will be in danger.
He won't be so anxious anymore. He will find a larger and more qualified venture capital firm to help them go public.
Am I right, Manager Wang Kaige? Do you have anything else to say? Or do you leave here on your own, or do I ask you to leave? We haven’t signed a contract yet, so I won’t bother the police to find you, but
I guess you won't be able to hide the kickbacks for a long time, and Jiang Wu will tell you about it."
Wang Kaige's face turned pale. He collapsed on the ground, wiped his sweat and said, "Mr. Chen, please give me a chance."
"Security, come in." Chen Shi pressed the call button on the conference room, the door opened, and four security guards took Wang Kaige out. Wang Kaige kept begging for mercy during the process. He didn't want to leave here. If he had to leave, he wouldn't
Maybe he was mixed up in the industry. Taking kickbacks from venture capitalists is a big taboo. It's very serious and you will be caught. Chen Shi didn't call the police to arrest him, but he let it out. The first thing is that he wouldn't be able to find a job.
Well, the second is that Jiang Wu's plan has been ruined, and he will definitely come to find him, and he will go in at that time.
The conference room was very quiet, no one spoke. No one expected Chen Shi to be so ruthless, leaving no room for anything, and being very professional, beyond all their expectations, including Mr. Pan.
Chen Shi looked at them and said: "Do you know what we are doing? What are we doing? We invest in a company, a product, and a project. What we want is long-term development, but the end of development must be listing. To put it bluntly, we
We also need to make money, but the prerequisite is that we cannot ruin our reputation.
All of you here are old people in the industry. You know, if our reputation is bad, we will use money to invest, and the investors will be a group of people like Jiang Wu, not real unicorn companies, because no one wants to
In order to get our investment, people also want to become bigger and stronger. If the founder of every enterprise has Jiang Wu's idea from the beginning, he is not an entrepreneur, but a fraudster.
Why do those big venture capital companies get bigger and bigger? Because of credit, the original intention of entrepreneurs and even their mentality after success is to make their company a world-class outstanding company. For example, Penguin is now investing in other companies. The original
No one would doubt that Penguin would do them harm, because the companies Penguin invested in were not used by Penguin to make money quickly, but developed according to their original development trajectory.
We also want to be a company like this. When we invest in others, they will trust them, not reject them. People are willing to let you invest even if you have money. How many investment companies are there in the world? It is no exaggeration to say that there are nearly 10,000.
How many companies can afford one billion? There are hundreds of companies.
The market is so big, and there are so many good projects. What matters in the end is trust. Why do major investment companies hate taking kickbacks? Because the investment project is not just a product, but the reputation of the company in the future.
Du, I am not exaggerating when I say that an investment of less than one million, or even an investment of less than five million, is not an investment in the true sense. You also know it.
What are the concepts and consequences of investing in the tens of millions, and how many people will be involved? For example, in the case of Jiang Wu, he escaped from the stock market and cashed out. How much did we lose? How many people had to lose their families? "
"Okay, you don't have any good projects at the moment, so come and listen to my project." Chen Shi walked to the big screen.
Building after building appeared on the big screen, and everyone in the audience was a little confused? What is this for? What is the purpose of investing in a house? Is there anyone who wants to invest in a house these days? The rate of return is not high.
Chen Shi seemed to have read through the thoughts of this group of people, looked at them and said: "You don't understand, do you? Let me ask you a question, do you find that some unicorn companies are now investing in real estate companies? Whether it is Yida
Still holding big, these real estate companies all have technology companies as shareholders.
Several unicorn technology companies that you know are investing in these local companies. We also want to invest in these local companies. This investment requires a starting investment of 10 billion. It is the largest investment you have ever encountered. 50 billion is a certain share.
The final amount will reach more than 100 billion, so such an investment can only involve no more than five players.
This investment, I call it Ultimate Investment, currently has a very high durability and stability rate. We are not the first company to make this investment, but we are not too late to do it because this project is too secretive and simply goes beyond investing.
concept.
Let me tell you one more thing, this investment cycle may take three to five years to start and ten years to be effective, and each company hides it very well, so I can't tell you."
Everyone present??? Are you kidding us? What the hell does this mean?
"A year from now, a year from now I'm telling you, if all of you sitting here are still here, okay, leave the rest of the projects to Mr. Pan, let's adjourn the meeting."
Chen Shi's words made everyone curious. Pandora's box has been opened. Everyone is curious, so they all want to know what this is?
Chen Shi really didn't dare to say anything to this group of people, because Chen Shi felt that he couldn't talk to others about this project casually. Currently, no more than three companies are playing in this project, and no less than ten companies know about this game, but seven out of ten
One is supported by the investment of these three companies. Currently, only three of the real big players can complete this project.
One thing about this project is that it is infinitely tied. One person, one generation, two generations, or even three generations may not be able to escape from it. That’s why Chen Shi did not dare to tell them. A year later, Chen Shi will still investigate whether this group of people can
Say, probably not tell anyone.
Chen Shi walked out of the company. Today is a warning to this group of people. Are these people good? They must be good, but they are not willing to obey. The most feared thing when leading troops to fight is not obeying supervision. This is called defeat before fighting.
