Chapter 426(1/2)
After a while, several more people came.
Mr. Chen from Kehai, Mr. Zhang from Yuanda, Mr. Lin from Xinyuan, Feng Lun from Wantong, Li Yanhong from Baidu and Shi Yuzhu from Giant Network.
At six o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially started.
Zhou Buqi is a junior and sits at the bottom of the table.
There are also juniors around him, with Shi Yuzhu on the left and Wang Xiaojun on the right.
"Old Duan has something to do, let's just ignore it and eat first."
Mr. Liu sat at the front seat and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Everyone was quiet.
The occasional conversations were in whispers.
Because everyone knows that this small gathering within the Taishan Society is to discuss important matters.
Sure enough, the old-school entrepreneurs then expressed their opinions one after another.
It’s about the upcoming Entrepreneurs Club.
The tone is a bit loud.
There is quite a sense of arguing with the government. In order to run this organization well and be strong, it cannot be too submissive or follow orders. It must be built on the self-platform of private entrepreneurs.
That posture seemed like everything was under control.
Thinking about it again, it seems that this is really what happened.
All of you here are considered to be heroes and veterans of reform and opening up, typical representatives of private entrepreneurs, and pioneers of reform. They certainly don’t want to change things again and again.
In this new organization, we must safeguard the interests of the private entrepreneurial group as much as possible and speak out for this group.
Moreover, they are confident.
Who is the president of this entrepreneur club?
It can only be Mr. Liu, he is the only one with this prestige.
If the officials want to use him to win over this group, they will definitely make appropriate compromises.
Zhou Buqi is not qualified to participate in such a major event, let alone him. None of the people around him are qualified to participate, including Yu Minhong and Li Yanhong.
It must be the seniors who make the decision, and the juniors waving flags and shouting to show their support is enough.
Shi Yuzhu sat next to Zhou Buqi and couldn't help but whisper: "Xiao Zhou, I agreed to participate in your job search program."
"Thanks."
"There are so many big guys here. We'll finish talking about the business later, so you can invite them all."
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Forget it, they are all seniors, I don't have the shame."
Shi Yuzhu said: "What are you afraid of? You know CCTV's "Win in China", they are basically guest judges."
Zhou Buqi said: "CCTV's is a serious business program, and participating in that kind of program will not disqualify you. What we do is an entertainment program, and there is no comparison at all."
The subtext is that generally only sluts and the younger generation will participate.
Wang Xiaojun on the other side suddenly spoke and said: "Mr. Zhou, have you decided on the program you will be cooperating with Yanjing TV?"
Zhou Buqi said honestly: "The outdoor competitive reality show has been decided and will be recorded this month. The job hunting program has also passed the review and the production team is planning it."
"Is there still a chance now?"
"Um?"
"Huayi is very interested in cooperating with Jieyu Media."
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Okay, Huayi is a veteran in the entertainment industry, and Jieyu Media can only dream of it. I will ask Mr. Xu of Jieyu Media later what he means. It shouldn't be a big problem."
If we give a piece of the cake to Huayi, Jieyu Media's income will definitely decrease.
However, Xu Baihui wants to be the queen of the entertainment industry.
To help her realize this ambition, Hua Yi's help is indispensable. Only by sharing interests appropriately can she make more friends.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaojun sighed, "Let's forget it, Huayi's current funds...hey, let's not talk about it!"
"What? Are you encountering difficulties?"
Zhou Buqi thought his performance was clumsy, so he suppressed his laughter and pretended to be surprised.
Wang Xiaojun said distressedly: "Hua Yi is so difficult now!"
"Can't you? Huayi is a big company, the largest private enterprise in the domestic entertainment industry, right?"
"So what about the No. 1 giant? You can't make a lot of money in this industry. Especially the risks are too great. If you are not careful, you may lose everything. Huayi will go bankrupt now."
"How to say?"
"Last year, there was internal strife in Huayi, and the top artists were all taken away by Wang Jinghua. Two movies were released, but there was no box office. This year's "The Night Banquet" also..."
Wang Xiaojun rambled on and talked about Huayi's difficulties in the past two years.
As much as you want to feel aggrieved, as much as you want.
Huayi can be regarded as a giant in the entertainment industry, but it has not made any money at all and has been losing money. If it were not for its advertising business, which can make up for its film and TV series business, it might not be able to survive long ago.
.
Zhou Buqi said: "I think this is the lipstick effect. In recent years, since we joined the WTO, the country's economy has developed so fast and is booming. It's not surprising that the entertainment industry has no money to make. After a few years, our country's economic growth will slow down.
, overloaded production capacity and excessive issuance of currency may cause some economic problems. At that time, the spring of the entertainment industry will arrive."
The lipstick effect means that when the economy is in recession, lipstick sales will suddenly increase.
This is a social psychology phenomenon.
Lipstick is a cheap, luxurious and unnecessary item. When the economy is bad, it can have a "comforting" effect on the people.
By analogy, entertainment products such as movies and TV series also have a comforting nature. When the economy is good, people do not need comfort, and everyone is happy to make money. When the economy is bad, entertainment programs are needed for psychological stimulation.
Soothed.
The current social situation is that when the economic crisis broke out in 2008, the country implemented a 4 trillion stimulus plan... which caused a series of economic sequelae.
Since then, the domestic entertainment industry has entered a blowout period, and even Internet giants have begun to seize the entertainment track.
Wang Xiaojun sighed and said with a sad face: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to survive the winter in Huayi!"
"What's going on?"
"Some investors want to withdraw their capital!"
“Divest?”
"Well, he invested 500,000 yuan in Huayi six years ago, but after so many years, he has not earned a penny in dividends. The situation of "The Night Banquet" this year is not optimistic, and this investment is probably going to be wasted again. It is considered a complete loss.
Disappointed."
Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Hua Yi can't even get 500,000?"
"Disaster!"
Wang Xiaojun has trouble speaking.
He has taken out a bank loan for all his properties, and the money in his account still needs to be used to pay wages to his employees. Whether he can survive this year depends on how much the "Night Banquet" loses.
Zhou Buqi suddenly thought of something.
In his previous life, Boss Ma invested in Huayi, and it is said that he made hundreds of times the profit, which once caused quite a controversy. Moreover, he invested in Huayi in his own name and had nothing to do with Alibaba. It can be seen that Huayi has reached the end of its rope.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhou Buqi remained calm.
Wang Xiaojun glanced at him tentatively, "It would be best to introduce new shareholders who are interested in the entertainment industry. If "The Night Banquet" really fails to make any money and the company cannot survive, I hope the new shareholders can inject capital to help Huayi survive.
To overcome the difficulties. To be honest, I have been looking for such a person. Some people are interested in the entertainment industry, but they are basically coal bosses and have no guarantee of credibility; some people have credibility, like our members of the Taishan Club, but they are
I have no interest in the entertainment industry anymore.”
"It's true." Zhou Buqi nodded, "Introducing new shareholders is a big deal for the company, so we can't take it lightly."
Wang Xiaojun gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you interested in investing in Huayi?"
There is no need to mention his interest. Zhou Buqidu and his friends established an entertainment company called Jieyu Media. Not only did they invest in movies, but they also collaborated on two variety shows with Yanjing TV.
Not to mention character and reputation, Taishan Club is the biggest guarantee.
Zhou Buqi's expression was dull, "How to operate?"
Wang Xiaojun said quickly: "Take over his shares from another investor, and then..."
"What about the price?"
Zhou Buqi interrupted him.
Wang Xiaojun said: "He just wants to get his money back, so you can spend as much as he spent back then."
"How many?"
